It's another bright morning.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the flow of people rushing into Chang'an City in front of the inn, and still went into the house to wake up Jinruo. He promised Jinruo to take her to Chang'an City, now that he has arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, how can he not go in, as for tomorrow's affairs, he has no reason to stop it after thinking about it, so he can only accompany Jinruo on this last day.

"Chang'an City is really lively!"

Stepping through the city gate, Jinruo turned to look at the towering city wall, majestic and majestic, and the mottled traces on the wall witnessed the long history of this thousand-year-old capital.

Jin Ruo turned around, and was just about to go forward with Xiao Zhuo, when he saw a blue-shirted man on the opposite side striding towards them, walked up to them, and grabbed Xiao Zhuo. "Oops! I said, Fourth Brother, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for three days! Big brother finally doesn't have to kneel in the ancestral hall anymore! ”

Jin Ruo heard the man in the blue shirt say this, and then took a closer look at this person's appearance, he was really similar to Xiao Zhuo, and he guessed in his heart that this person was probably either Xiao Kai or Xiao Li. Sure enough, Xiao Zhuo saw Jinruo leaning over, and hurriedly introduced her.

"Jinruo, this is my third brother Xiao Li, third brother, this is Jinruo."

"Xiao Gongzi is good!" Jin Ruo bowed slightly, but saw Xiao Lian looking at her for a long time, and then held his hand and replied, "Hello Miss Jinruo!" ”

"Third brother, why are you here?" Xiao Zhuo didn't pay much attention to Xiao Li's faux pas, Xiao Li has always had a hearty personality, he is the only one among their brothers who has a temper with him, everyone has a love for beauty, and some gaffes are nothing, and the Xiao family style is rigorous, he believes that Xiao Li will not have any thoughts of being rude.

"You're embarrassed to say that when the eldest brother came back from Yingbo Town, he didn't know what he said to his father, but his angry father slapped it on the table and said something 'ridiculous!' You've been there for so many days, how can you learn how to be like him, doesn't he just want to marry Yingying! If you don't marry, you won't marry, if it weren't for your uncle's name, I wouldn't have planned to let him marry Yingying! Then when the eldest brother was punished to kneel, he told me to wait for you here! Xiao Zhuo learned his father's tone to speak, and at the same time gestured to Xiao Zhuo with the scene he imagined, as for whether the comparison was right or not, Xiao Zhuo thought about how his father usually trained him, and it was estimated that it was not much worse.

"I said the fourth, what's going on? The eldest brother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and the next day his father let the second brother go to Yingbo Town again, and I heard my mother say that it seems that I gave Yanying's cousin to the second brother again! Yes? ”

Xiao Zhuo was noncommittal, and promised Yan Ying to Xiao Kai, which was originally discussed with the Yan family in Yingbo Town, after all, Xiao Rui went to the Yan family to hire him with great fanfare at that time, so he couldn't just leave it at that. Moreover, his father is a person with a great reputation, since Xiao Rui was hired, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Yan's two families have married, and he will never tolerate his family's regret of marriage.

"Xiao Zhuo, why don't we go back to Xiao's house first?" Jin Ruo saw that Xiao Zhuo was a little hesitant, and stepped forward to suggest. But Xiao Zhuo looked at her, turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "Third brother, I can't go back with you yet, you give me another day, and I will definitely go back to Xiao's house tomorrow to receive the punishment." ”

After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he pulled Jin Ruo and went in the other direction, Xiao Lian originally wanted to chase it, but in the end he stopped and sighed: "It's this kind of again!" After saying that, he didn't walk back in the direction he came from, but ran to the wine shop next to him.

-----------

Dancing and music pavilions and mirror lakes, playing with a three-foot curtain on the long street.

Hold the oar and cross Wei and Jing again, but see the smoke and willows cover the imperial capital.

After a day of hustle and bustle, Chang'an City after night was no longer as prosperous and lively as before in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, and he only felt a cool breeze pecking at his body, cold and piercing.

But it's July! A few days ago, he and Jinruo spent the Chinese Valentine's Day, and he didn't expect to be separated like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl so soon!

Xiao Zhuo was still immersed in his heart of grief, a pair of arms behind him slowly stretched out, wrapped around his waist, and Jin Ruo's body slowly came over.

"Xiao Zhuo, do you know?"

Jin Ruo's voice echoed in his ears, and the wall of his heart that he had been strong in vain slowly collapsed, but he still forced an explanation, "No, I don't know anything!" ”

Jin Ruo hugged him tighter.

"I'm not very good at deceiving, so I don't dare tell you, but you're not a good liar." As soon as Jin Ruo said this, Xiao Zhuo realized that his words were indeed a little bit out of silver three hundred taels, but just as he was about to say something more, Jin Ruo had already stretched out his hand to cover his lips, but Jin Ruo was always behind him, and he couldn't tell whether Jin Ruo was sad or happy at this time.

"Actually, I knew this morning that you know what kind of wine you smelled of, and how could I not know; And everyone has been loyal and filial piety first, but you insisted on not returning to the Xiao family but accompanied me first; Besides, what other day do I go to bed before you these days? Sister Mingxin should have been here last night, right? ”

"Jinruo!"

Xiao Zhuo couldn't restrain himself anymore, turned around and hugged Jin Ruo tightly in his arms, he didn't know what else he could do at this moment except to hold Jin Ruo, he couldn't do anything else except give her the last support!

"Xiao Zhuo, I want to give myself to you, don't reject me! Let me go without regrets, okay? Jin Ruo's head clinging to Xiao Zhuo's chest slowly raised, and a pool of autumn water also turned into tenderness and sweetness, and the words he said also carried a hint of expectation, but more, it was still resolute!

The moon sets and the stars fade, and the morning sun is draped.

Yesterday is no more, who can rely on today?

Jin Ruo looked at Xiao Zhuo who fell asleep by her spell, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face again, the road she had to walk was long and dangerous, and it was unknown whether she could come back, leaving Xiao Zhuo with hope, was it good or not?

Maybe we will never see each other again in this life! Jin Ruo thought to herself, resolutely turned around and took back the note on the table that said "Don't go back for five years, forget me" and walked out of the house. And outside the house, on a flat boat, a blue color stood quietly, and when he saw Jinruo come out, he gradually showed a smile.

"Will you hate me for telling him?" After Jinruo got on the boat, Mingxin saw that she was still looking at the house, so she still asked.

"If my sister hadn't told him, I'm afraid he would still be stubborn and unwilling to accept me, and if I didn't come back, wouldn't it be a greater regret. Thank you sister, we ····· Let's go! ”

Mingxin heard what Jin Ruo said, and smiled reassuringly, and then with a wave of his jade hand, the boat gradually drifted away, and finally slowly painted the two rays of green and gold at the end of Weishui, and disappeared into the sky.

And inside the house, the sleeping Xiao Zhuo finally woke up at the third pole of the sun, without sadness, loss, and no movement. After lying on the bed for a long time, he finally closed his eyes gently, and a line of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

――――

"Rebel! What did you say? In the past, you used to look at those evil rumors every day, but now you still want to become a monk, are you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors? ”

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Zhuo kneeling in front of him, feeling sad and sorry in his heart, how could he not know Xiao Zhuo's intelligence, he thought that he could take the ancient sages as an example and help himself support the Xiao family, but he walked into a fork in the road halfway and couldn't extricate himself, and now it is for those ethereal things, abandoning the foundation of the Xiao family, how can he not be angry.

"Please forgive my father, the child has made up his mind, and he came back today, but he just thought about the wrong things he committed, and asked his father not to embarrass the eldest brother again." After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he kowtowed to Xiao Yu and pleaded guilty.

"You have become like this, as an elder brother, he also has a fault of lax supervision, what can I forgive him for!" Xiao Yu was furious, and kicked Xiao Zhuo to the ground, but fortunately, he was just a literati and didn't do much power.

"The child is not filial, it violates the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, the child will go to the ancestors and ancestors to ask for sin, and the father cherishes it!" Xiao Zhuo knelt back again, bowed to his father three more times, and then got up and walked out of the front hall regardless of whether his father agreed or not.

"Rebel!"

Xiao Yu's scolding came out of the house, and Xiao Rui saw that Xiao Zhuo finally came out, so he hurriedly walked up.

"Fourth brother, what's going on? What do you do as a good monk? What about Miss Jinruo? Didn't your father believe her when you called her? ”

Xiao Rui was still working in his own mansion, and when he heard Xiao Zhuo come over and tell him about the situation after Xiao Zhuo came back, he hurried back, and saw that Xiao Zhuo was so resolute, and he didn't see Jinruo's figure beside him, I am afraid that Xiao Zhuo was hit by something, and he actually reached the point of becoming a monk.

"The matter of the Yan family caused the eldest brother to be punished, it is the fault of the fourth brother, the fourth brother made amends to the eldest brother, please forgive the eldest brother!"

Xiao Zhuo said that he was about to bow down again, but was pulled up by Xiao Rui, "What kind of crime are you paying for!" You didn't do anything wrong, what the hell is wrong? ”

Xiao Zhuo saw that Xiao Rui insisted on wanting to know, and he was also the person concerned, so he no longer hid it, and walked towards the back hall while telling him the general story. He is going to become a monk, his father has already said goodbye, and his mother always needs an explanation.

"Big brother! Jinruo's matter, please be sure to keep your mouth shut, even if it is your father in the future, you will not have to mention it again, the fourth brother is here to thank you! ”

Xiao Zhuo sincerely bowed again, and after seeing Xiao Rui nodding in agreement, he turned around and walked towards his mother's house. And Xiao Rui looked at his back for a long time, just breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then turned back to the official office.
