Chapter 40: A Snowy Night

"Brother......" Shen Nanyan looked at Shen Jin and was speechless for a long time.

She was obsessed with Zhao, although Shen Jin did not agree with this matter, but she also knew that Shen Jin did this for her good and really loved her, but she actually put him in danger for herself.

Even though she knew that Song Heng would not punish him, what was in case of everything, she actually hurt her brother with her own hands.

"I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't... You shouldn't be put in danger. Shen Nanyan was full of guilt, feeling that he was sorry for him, and a line of tears crossed the corners of his eyes.

He had hardly ever seen her cry, but this time she wept for him, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or miserable. His beloved sister finally cried for him today, but after hearing his words that he agreed that she was with Mu Zhao, what did he do to make his sister not be with Mu Zhao for so long.

"Crying for what? Idiot. Shen Jin personally wiped away Shen Nanyan's tears and teased: "Do you think you look good when you cry?" ”

She was indeed beautiful when she cried, her eyes were full of tears, and the tears were as clear as a spring in a clear stream, and they were as clear as a spring in a clear stream, and they were thrillingly beautiful.

"I'm just overjoyed." Shen Nanyan said.

…………

The snow was falling, covering up all the squalor of the world and the silence of the night.

In a simple inn, there is no business in winter, Xiao Er and a few miscellaneous servants have already taken their luggage back to their hometowns, and only the sleepy innkeepers are left in the entire inn to support themselves.

"Boss, please give us three clean houses." A man in purple handed over a piece of silver.

The shopkeeper was half asleep, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and replied, "Okay, the guest officers wait a moment." ”

After speaking, he asked while registering: "How many of you want to go back to Beijing?" ”

"Not bad." The one who spoke was a man in white with a beautiful scenery, and his voice was gentle and clear.

Isn't that the boy who just came into the house to talk? The shopkeeper heard the voice and looked towards Mu Zhao. Seeing that he looked like a handsome man, the innkeeper couldn't help but say more.

"The heavy snow is estimated to fall for a few days, and it is freezing this day, so the guest officer should leave as soon as possible, and maybe he can rush home for the New Year."

Mu Zhao bowed his head and thanked him softly: "Thank you for the reminder, it's natural." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Mu Zhao again, and after looking at the only girl behind him, he sighed a little, the boy in front of him was so outstanding, if he and the girl were a couple, wouldn't it be a bit tyrannical.

Xie Sui walked up to Mu Zhao and whispered: "Childe, I'm afraid her injury will have to be cultivated for a few days, and we won't be able to move without two or three days." ”

"Well, let's rest here." Mu Zhao said helplessly.

The little girl would rather kill herself than follow them, if he refused, it was really unsatisfactory, she was wounded by the sword, and the wound in winter healed very slowly from the cold, although she was bandaged for the first time, she still needed to recuperate in this inn for a few days.

Xiao Yue's face was pale, and there was apology in her tone: "Childe, I'm sorry, because I delayed your trip." ”

Xie Sui said secretly in his heart: Why do you want to do this if you know this? His son-in-law can return to Beijing to see Miss Shen, but he is not ready to spend it here with you.

"Miss Xiao Yue doesn't have to care, it's not bad to stay here for a few days in such a heavy snowstorm."

Mu Zhao looked at the snow that was gradually drifting outside, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

How is the capital now? Is it snowing too?

Is she okay?

After Mu Zhao and the others went upstairs and entered the guest room, it didn't take long for two more people to come in.

The purple-clothed man led by him has a long figure and a handsome appearance, with a lofty air and a face like a star. and Mu Zhao's demeanor is on par.

Having already seen a man like Mu Zhao, the shopkeeper was not too surprised when he saw the man in purple.

"Are the two guest officers eating or fighting?"

"Please give us two rooms." The man in purple said politely.

The shopkeeper nodded, and after registering in the account book, he personally led the man in purple upstairs.

After everything was in order, the shopkeeper went downstairs and took the silver given by the man in purple and was distracted there, and the confusion in his heart could not be suppressed.

I always feel that the identity of the purple-clothed man is extraordinary, and he always reveals weirdness in his actions, but he can't tell what is weird.

The weather in Kyoto has suddenly turned cold these days, and it is snowing heavily.

I don't know when, the contradiction between Shen Jin and Ah Ci was suddenly resolved, and the two reconciled as before.

Whenever he met someone, Shen Jin smiled, as if he was afraid that people would not know how happy he was.

Shen Nanyan didn't know how they resolved the contradiction, but seeing that Ah Ci had changed her sad face from the past and became lively and vivid, she didn't ask again.

Because the New Year is approaching and the climate is cold, if you go to the border now, you will have to work all the way. Shen Jin picked the day and set off next year.

In any case, even if Song Heng disagrees, he will personally bring Mu Zhao back, and even if he can't bring it back, he must inform Mu Zhao of his thoughts, so that Mu Zhao doesn't have to think about his ideas, if he likes to fight for it.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the Great Liang Dynasty has always been grand, and there is a state banquet at the Jinluan Hall to drink with the ministers of the central court, and after returning to the palace, they will keep the year until the time of the son, so as to ensure a safe and smooth next year.

Although the banquet sounds powerful and extraordinary, it is actually the most relaxed banquet in history. It will not be like the poetry club to intrigue and show off its talents to compete for the crown, nor will it be like an ordinary night banquet to confer officials or deprive the knighthood and military power, and there are treacherous clouds everywhere.

The state banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve is simply to have fun with the courtiers, drink fine wine, enjoy singing and dancing, and if you are very lucky, you will be given a marriage by the emperor himself.

The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker are one thing, if the emperor can give marriage is not only an ordinary noble girl or a dignitary, but also a character in the uncle.

Shen Nanyan sighed, looking at the falling snow outside, and refused to close the window.

The snow is falling, and it's another year. I don't know when the old man will return.

Waiting and fulfillment seemed to be something she was used to.

Wait for him to return, to fulfill all that he has, and let him go.

Tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, and she withdrew her eyes and looked up at the red lantern hanging high on the eaves, representing the festive lantern, and her thoughts spread.

It would be nice if he was there, even if it was just a lonely lamp, there was no sound of music around him, and it was a joy in life to taste poetry with him.

He cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rained at night in Bashan.

There is no need to cut candles on Chinese New Year's Eve, as long as the hearts are connected, everything is a blessing.

After the last poetry meeting, she was disgusted with the palace, and she didn't like intrigues and intrigue, and there were no clear regulations for this state banquet, so she didn't plan to go, and after finding an excuse that she was sick and not suitable to go out, she stayed in the house by herself with Tang Pozi.

The lights in the room were dim, Shen Nanyan was holding the poetry book and watching it with relish, and the candle outside the room was extinguished at once.

I don't know if it's because of the wind, but there is not a single light left outside, and all of them are extinguished.

Looking up, it was pitch black outside, but now there were snowflakes outside, probably because the hours were not long enough, and the snow had not accumulated so thick that it was difficult to illuminate the outside with the bright light of the snow.

At some point, a long figure stood outside with a lantern by the candlestick.

In the dark night, it was faint and blurry that it was impossible to see his face, and then the lantern he was carrying seemed to be a bright lamp, illuminating the outside of the house.

A Ci loves to be lively, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so he entered the palace with Shen Jin. She was afraid that Ah Ci would be lonely alone, so she panicked and let Red Sakura go with her, first, Red Sakura did things properly, she could watch Ah Ci not let her have an accident at all, and secondly, Ah Ci and Red Sakura had a good relationship, and it was easier to have something to say.

Qingyin Fang also went to the back kitchen to get pastries, and it couldn't be her according to the hour. Besides, looking at that person's long and thin figure, it shouldn't be possible to be light yin.

Maybe it was a little guy who came to light it when he saw the candle flame extinguished here, Shen Nanyan didn't think much about it, and continued to read the poetry book.

For some reason, she couldn't read the poems in the book anyway, she looked up and found that the little guy had not left, none of the candles in the candle were lit, and the lantern in her hand was extinguished.

Is it windy outside the house? Shen Nanyan happened to be sitting on the couch, stretched out her hand to open the window, and a strong wind instantly blew on her face.

The lights in the house happened to be extinguished a few times, and it seemed that the sky was really abnormal tonight, and it was not yet windy and snowy when I got up in the morning, and it started to rain in the evening.

Now that the wind is so strong, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for the little guy to light the lamp there, Shen Nanyan shouted to the black shadow: "Now that the wind is strong, you don't need to light the lamp today, you can go back." ”

She was going to say that he should go back and have a good New Year, but she couldn't open her mouth anyway, she had never cared much about caring about others, and now it was really difficult to say words of concern directly like this.

The dark shadow didn't move when he heard her words, and stood there straight.

Didn't he hear what he was saying?

Shen Nanyan wanted to say again, and the full moon hanging high in the sky suddenly emerged from the clouds.

The originally dark outside of the house instantly brightened, and the cold moonlight happened to reflect on the little guy's face, revealing his handsome facial features.

Shen Nanyan stared at the little guy's face and didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

She thought about the scene after a long absence, and he smiled softly at her, "I'll come back." Or maybe he was riding on a horse, dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and his amazing surprise attracted the dreams of Kyoto noblewomen.

She must have smiled and said to her, "It's good to come back." ”

Instead of the reunion like now, she sat in the house, and he stood outside, looking at each other, but she didn't know he existed.

If it weren't for the moonlight today, would he be ready to come quietly, leaving quietly, not letting her know?
