Spring in Cangzhou has really arrived, the sun is warm, and the buds are new. The flowers of the plum orchard have fully withered, and young leaves have grown to shade the green fruits that are about to come. Chen Qiuniang obeyed Zhang Ci's instructions and stayed in Cangzhou Plum Garden for a few more days.

In the past few days, Chen Qiuniang has reflected very seriously, and finally came out of fear and extremism. She remembered how she and her grandmother had risen from hardship in those difficult days.

"What you are afraid of may be just the shadow of the cup, the snake and the snake, something that can be crushed when you raise your hand; Even if it is not a cup bow and snake shadow, then, even if it can't fight, it is necessary to pull half a life of fate, so that this lofty rule or the so-called God cannot be underestimated. After meditating quietly, Chen Qiuniang opened her eyes again and wrote down such a line of realization on the paper. Subsequently, she asked Yue for advice on how to engrave words on the jade pendant with a momentum of "smiling at the flowers".

According to Zhang Ci's instructions, Yue took out the jade pendant for spare practice, the carving utensils, and the carving codex written by Zhang Ci himself. Chen Qiuniang already had a foundation in carving, plus a few exercises, and a month of guidance. So it only took one day of practice, and Chen Qiuniang got on and off the knife on that main jade pendant. Although, from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to write the word "cloud" differently from the jade pendant that she used to have, but Chen Qiuniang also had a glimpse of the jade pendant that day, and she didn't look at it very carefully, so she deliberately went to be different, and finally the carved finished product was held in her hand, but she suddenly felt that it was exactly the same as that piece.

Or maybe it's predestined in this world. But whether the future is good or bad, or in many cases, there are variables, and it depends on oneself. As Zhang Ci said: If Xiao Yanyan is strong enough, powerful enough. In fact, it can also be separated from the fate of being a chess piece.

At dusk, the piece of jade was in her white and tender hands, reflecting the faint light of the yellow halo projected outside the window, and there was an indescribable mystery. Standing on the sidelines, he has always been silent and unsmiling, and at this moment he also said in a surprised tone: "Ah." The word lady is graceful and elegant. It's very beautiful. This piece of jade is also of high quality. ”

Chen Qiuniang deceived her head and joked with a smile: "When did Yue learn to pat the horse's whiskers?" ”

Yue immediately bowed her head embarrassedly and replied, "Madame, forgive me." The subordinates have exceeded the rules. ”

"Don't be so formal, I'm joking with you." Chen Qiuniang shook her head, and then carefully looked at the jade pendant, but she didn't see the texture of this jade pendant before. The reason why Zhang Ci chose this jade pendant. Now the light reflecting the dusk is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts feel frightened, and this jade is cold to the touch in the hand. It makes people suddenly feel that their hearts are clear, as if they are not a piece of jade in their hands, but a crystal clear child, which makes people's hearts clear and soft.

"The number of courtesies is naturally wanted." month answered. Still standing beside him, his head bowed.

Chen Qiuniang came back to her senses, wore the jade pendant closely, and put it into the close-fitting tips. Only then did he get up and order: "According to the instructions of the second son, we can leave for Bianjing tomorrow." Are you ready? ”

"Mrs. Hui, it's ready. If the lady has other instructions, her subordinates will prepare them immediately. Moon replied.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head: "There is no other command, just you and send a team of people to go first." You choose a few reliable ones, and we will pretend to be a businessman and go to Bianjing. ”

"Yes. Or Madame thought it through. "The moon arches over the hand.

Chen Qiuniang sighed lightly: "It's not thoughtful or not, it's a lot of effort, I'm just afraid that one carelessness will make him be constrained and put in a dangerous situation." ”

Yue was silent, and Chen Qiuniang commanded again: "As for the matter of disguise, there are also masters in your eighteen horsemen, just come and show me the disguise." ”

"Yes." The moon got the life and went out.

Chen Qiuniang stood up at this time, looking at the crescent moon on the deep blue sky, and only felt a little tired. Coming to this time and space, every step is full of dangers, even if she has been in the mountains for three years of stable life, because she fell in love with such a bright man, she no longer is idle, but I can't wait for every minute and every second to learn earth-shattering skills, and an extra inch of insurance for each other's future happiness.

She stood by the window for a long time, thinking about what had happened in that time and space, and it seemed like a past life; Thinking of Zhang Ci's face again, I only felt that when I thought of him, my whole heart was warm.

It is really the greatest blessing in life to meet such a brilliant and beautiful person.

She missed him and rejoiced. Nianqiu gently came to her window, blessed her body and said, "Miss Su, my son-in-law is back and wants to invite you to dinner together." ”

Chen Qiuniang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, nothing unusual, so she asked Nian Qiuqing Jiang Fan to come to her for dinner. After Nianqiu left, Jiang Fan came soon. Folding a fan in white, the thin boy seems to have grown a lot taller.

The two sat down, and the maid came in with a vegetable fish. After the dishes were served, Chen Qiuniang warmed the wine and asked, "The day before yesterday was urgent, but it was dealt with?" ”

"I've dealt with it, it's under my control, but I'm not at ease, I'll go back and take a look." He said lightly, and then took a pair of chopsticks and dried bamboo shoots to stew the duck, and praised it.

Chen Qiuniang chuckled and looked at him, but she didn't debunk the fact that in this short period of time, she traveled back and forth between Shangjing and Cangzhou, but she had to go non-stop, and the speed of 800 miles of expedited speed may not be possible.

"If you like it." She warmed a glass of wine for him and handed it over.

Jiang Fan took the glass of wine, laughed, and said, "I like your dishes." ”

"The cook I trained with you has also gone to Shangjing, I wonder if you can be satisfied?" Chen Qiuniang took a sip of rice wine and talked with Jiang Fan.

"Very satisfied. But—" Jiang Fan said this, looking at her with burning eyes, and drank a glass of wine.

Chen Qiuniang only felt that his gaze was too hot, so she lowered her eyes and concentrated on dealing with a chicken wing. After taking a bite of the chicken wings, he heard Jiang Fan's rather lonely voice, as if talking to himself: "They have good talents, and the taste they make is quite similar to what you make, but they are only similar." ”

Chen Qiuniang didn't know what to say, so she continued to be silent and concentrated on dealing with chicken wings. Jiang Fan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it before asking, "Did he give you the jade pendant of being the housewife?" ”

"Given." Chen Qiuniang replied.

"Very good." His tone was still lonely.

The two fell silent again, only hearing the slight collision of cups and chopsticks. After a while, when Chen Qiuniang was tasting a little more salt in the daylily soup, Jiang Fan suddenly said: "The north is handed over to me, you can rest assured." As for Chai Yu, I will keep an eye on it all the time. ”

"Hmm." Chen Qiuniang still lowered her head to eat, but the tears of emotion were already wet and blurred her vision. This young man has been protecting her since he first met, if it is said that he was entrusted by Zhang Ci to save her at first, but later he guarded her wholeheartedly regardless of gains and losses. Now, in order for her to get the happiness she wants, she put down the position of the heir of the Jiang family and went away to the north to let Zhang give her no worries about the northland, and in the face of Chai Yu, who has changed, he thinks that it may bring danger to her, so he chooses various ways to crucify him in the square inch.

This qiē is all for the sake of fulfilling her happiness. Tears eventually rolled down and into the hot soup.

"Don't be ruthless, Chai Yu was not as good as you see. What happened to him, and his obsession was quite deep, and when he couldn't get it, he would never be able to learn it. After a short silence, Jiang Fan came to persuade her again.

"Hmm." She tried her best to restrain her feelings, answered a word, still with a thick nasal voice, and then she saw Jiang Fan's hand holding the cup, and then that hand was raised, drank the wine in his hand, laughed, and said: "Chen Qiuniang, do you think my brother is too good, and I regret choosing Zhang Ci that kid in the first place?" ”

He was in a joking tone, she wiped away her tears, and then replied: "You are talking nonsense again, making fun of people." ”

"I'm telling the truth. If you regret it, come to me at any time, my brother is so jade and dashing, and I don't lose you. Jiang Fan was giggling at this time, saying something that was not there.

Chen Qiuniang squinted at him with a smile on her face, changed the topic and said, "You can eat." And the pastries, I want you to run around, how tired. ”

"Hey, I'm a sword saint, my ancestors were all military generals, and horse running is a basic skill." Jiang Fan said proudly.

Chen Qiuniang smiled, then poured him a glass of rice wine, filled it herself, stood up suddenly, picked up the wine glass, and said solemnly: "Qiuniang respects Brother Jiangfan." Thank you enough. Do it first for respect. ”

After she finished speaking, she drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when she looked at Jiang Fan again, he was stunned. Then, he also stood up and took the glass and said, "No need to thank you, you are someone I cherish." I will do everything I have to protect you. ”

After he finished speaking, he also drank it all and smiled at Chen Qiuniang. Chen Qiuniang looked at him across the table, only feeling that life was really wonderful, as if there was such a thing as fate. The young man in front of her is also very good, but fate is for her to meet Zhang Ci first.

"I'm going to have three drinks with you, too. This first cup, I thank you for being in my life. He poured himself a cup and drank it all, and then he didn't care that Chen Qiuniang's cup had no wine at all, and poured the second cup directly, saying, "Second cup, thank you for bringing me such a good food." ”

After he finished speaking, he drank it all again, the same as before, and regardless of whether Chen Qiuniang had any wine in the cup, he poured the third cup straight and said: "This third cup, for the future, you and I will be far away from the world, and express my thoughts in advance." ”

When he said this third sentence, his tone slowed down, and he only looked at Chen Qiuniang with a wine glass in a daze, with an indescribable sadness on his expression. Chen Qiuniang was infected by his feelings, and thought about it for a while in this era when there is no network and no phone, if it is blocked by war, coupled with the impermanence of the world, every time you separate, I am afraid that it will be a death farewell, and there can be no text messages, phone calls, and no Internet, no news, all thoughts are poison without a solution, if you want to meet once, I am afraid that it can only be in a dream.

Thinking of this, her nose suddenly became sour, her eyes wet with tears again, she poured herself a glass of wine, and she couldn't say a word of a thousand words in her heart. I drank all the wine in the cup, but the two words I finally said were: "Precious." ”

"Precious." Jiang Fan smiled lonely, and also raised his hand to drink the wine in the cup. (To be continued) R580
