Ye Xun's injuries were not completely healed, so he came to meet Qiu Tong. Watching his beloved from far to near, he looked at her as if nothing had happened, still looking at her and smiling so obsessively.

Qiu Tong was a little colder than usual today, and her face was a little less delicate. She looked at Ye Xun with clear eyes, "Tianyu, I told you about my family before, and I want to tell you more about it today." I used to have a very happy family, my father, mother, brother and me, and we were a happy family of four. My mother was a very smart and capable woman, who not only managed the house and outside the house, but also helped my father with advice. My father is a nerd, sometimes a tendon, if there is no mother to mention something, I don't know what will happen? But my mother died suddenly when we were teenagers. When she was leaving, she was very worried about my father and brother, and she handed them over to me. She took my hand and told me over and over again until she took her last breath......" said Qiutong's eyes, tears flashed, she settled her emotions, and continued, "My mother is gone, and I will take care of this family in her place." My brother has been weak since he was a child, but fortunately he has grown up in reading. finally got famous, and later married his own son. My brother has a home and a sister-in-law to take care of, so I have been following my father on a bumpy career. The other day, I noticed that he had a lot of gray hair on his head, and he was really old. But I don't know why a good official like my father, who is wholehearted and selfless, can't live out his old age in peace? Qiu Tong suddenly stared at Ye Xun with sharp eyes.

"Qiu Tong, I know you love your home very much, your father."

"Yes, just like you, my family is guarded by me!" Qiu Tong had tears in his eyes, but he shone with perseverance.

Ye Xun looked at her in a daze, and then muttered to himself, "Let's talk about something else today." ”

"Don't shy away from it anymore! You see! Qiu Tong held up her arm, and there was a bruise on her wrist.

Ye Xun closed his eyes, unwilling to accept this fact.

"You don't know who made it, do you? Why did you show up? You've never trusted me, have you? My father is only doing this for the sake of stability and harmony on one side, why do you keep holding on to it? ”

Ye Xun just shook his head, he didn't know what to say.

Qiu Tong sneered, "My father's reputation is about to be ruined in your hands?" How can I possibly forgive you, you say? ”

"Qiu Tong, I will give the emperor a table to intercede for Lord Wu, and let the emperor deal with it lightly."

"Intercession? My father originally wanted to resign after two more years and return to his hometown to retire in style, even if the sentence is light, he still has to bear the name of a criminal minister, all thanks to you. Qiu Tong put away her fierce gaze, and looked at Ye Xun's eyes softer, "I thought I had found someone who could be entrusted with my life in this life, and we could have had a good marriage, but ......" Qiu Tong's eyes were a little sad, and she used her slender fingers to gently slide over the back of Ye Xun's hand, "Now everything is gone." ”

"No!" Ye Xun roared in pain, "I can't lose you!" Ye Xun's tears welled up.

Qiu Tong also cried silently. The two men looked at each other with tears in their eyes......

Ye Xun was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak for a long time, and it took a long time for him to gently pull Qiu Tong's hand, "Qiu Tong, can you give me another chance?" I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as you don't leave me. ”

Qiu Tong was stunned for a moment, raised his teary eyes and looked at him, "Give me the account book in three days!" Can you do it? ”

Ye Xun was also stunned for a moment, and then after a painful struggle in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "I can!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qiu Tong didn't expect Ye Xun to agree, she actually didn't believe that he would do this.

"Your swordsmanship is good." Ye Xun pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Qiu Tong smiled bitterly, "If you want to protect your family, how can you do it without a little effort?" ”

"No, I'm trying to say that I have a set of swordsmanship here that is especially suitable for girls to practice, beautiful and smooth. There is time to teach you. ”

Qiu Tong lowered her head and tears fell again, thinking that they might never have a future. She suddenly looked up again and asked him, "Didn't you say you never go to the Land of Wind and Moon?" There are so many rooms in 'Wangchun Pavilion', why did you touch Ran Chunxue's house all of a sudden that day? ”

"You may not believe it, it's all because of you." Ye Xun said sincerely and affectionately.

"You want to say you have telepathy with me? You liar! Qiu Tong still had tears in his eyes but smiled angrily.

Ye Xun also smiled, but his heart was sour.

"I'm leaving, remember the three-day appointment."

As soon as he returned home, Ye Xun went to Wen Du in a hurry, "Wen Du, where is the account book?" ”

Wen Du felt that something was wrong with him, and he also knew that he had just met with Wu Qiutong in the afternoon, so he couldn't help but be vigilant, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What do I ask you?"

"I've put the ledger in a proper place."

"Go get it and give it to me!"

"What are you going to do first?"

"That's all over the place. You also said that their actions not only do not hurt the country, but also have a positive side. I'm going to give the ledger back to Qiu Tong so that they can rest easy. ”

Wen Du looked at him incredulously, "Ye Tianyu, are you crazy!" Do you know what you're doing? ”

"I know!" Ye Xun was so anxious that he was about to cry, "If I didn't have this ledger, I would have lost her!" I can't afford to lose her! ”

"It's too late!" Wen Du stared at him and said, "I gave the emperor a notebook for you last night." ”

"What?" Ye Xun's tears welled up all of a sudden, and he gasped for a long time before he spoke, "Can you still catch it back?" ”

Wen Du looked at him, a big man cried like this, and the pain in his heart can be imagined. He tapped him on the shoulder and advised, "Calm down. Let's think of another way, maybe ......"

Ye Xun closed his eyes, and a big tear flowed, "I'm really going to lose her!" ”

Wen Du didn't know how to comfort him, and suddenly he thought of an idea, "Do you think this will work?" You asked the emperor to let the emperor give you two a marriage? ”

Ye Xun shook his head, "She is so proud, even if the emperor gives her a marriage, I can't get her." I want her people, but I want her heart even more. Because I love her, I won't force her. Ye Xun was stunned for a while and suddenly said, "Wendu, you go and draft a letter of plea to Lord Wu, and I will copy it and submit it to the emperor in a while." ”

"Yes!"

Half a month later, the emperor issued instructions on Ye Xun's case of Zhejiang officials collectively raising their salaries. Due to the excessive number of officials involved, fearing that it would affect the normal operation of the entire Zhejiang province, the emperor listened to Ye Xun's advice, and most of the officials remained in their original positions to make meritorious contributions. The governor Wu allowed him to return to his hometown, and Zheng Yuanli, the chief secretary of the government, and Wang Ming, the chief inspector, were demoted to see the after-effects. The emperor also appointed three officials to take over as governor of Zhejiang, chief secretary of administration and envoy of Zhejiang......

On the day Wu Zhonghe's father and daughter left, no one told them, and the two of them set off alone. Qiu Tong rode a horse, Wu Zhong set up a carriage, and the two of them went out of Hangzhou City, and the four gradually became deserted. Neither father nor daughter dared to look back, the city behind them carried so much joy, hope and heartbreak......

A white horse galloped from a distance and quickly caught up with them. The person on the horse was none other than Ye Xun.

Ye Xun stared at Qiu Tong, and stopped talking several times.

Qiu Tong kept his face on his face and stubbornly closed his mouth......

The horses of the two of them rubbed against each other's necks, and they were very affectionate.

Ye Xun shouted over and over again in his heart: Qiu Tong, can you stay for me? Give me one more chance. His mouth moved without making a sound, but tears rolled down his face. After a long time, he choked up and said, "Qiu Tong, you ...... Take care! ”

Qiu Tong didn't look at him, nodded slightly, then pulled the reins and continued on his way. The moment he turned around, Qiu Tong's tears also slipped down silently.

Ye Xun has been following them silently, not far away, for dozens of miles. The sun is in the west, Ye Xun will follow again, and the city gate will be closed when he returns. He could only watch as the man he had fallen in love with to his bones ran towards the huge sunset and then slowly disappeared into the horizon......

Ye Xun suddenly couldn't smell anything! The smell of the earth, the smell of flowers, the smell of other smells in the air...... He couldn't smell anything! He knew he was going to lose his beloved! Tears blurred the whole world, his chest was breathless, and his heart was like a knife that kept poking. He clutched his chest and fell off the horse, leaving it to graze on its own. He knelt on the ground all of a sudden, all the grievances of all these years came up at once, his sadness and pain hit his whole body, and he felt that his body was about to explode! He began to cry hysterically. Beat his chest and feet, cry and cry like a child......

When he returned home, it was already dark, and Ye Xun bumped into Wendu as soon as he entered the inner courtyard. Wen Du looked Ye Xun up and down, and asked a little nervously, "Are you back?" I've been waiting for you, as if I'm in a hurry. You okay? ”

Ye Xun didn't look at him, but said faintly, "I want to go back to the room and stay quiet for a while, you tell Madame that I won't eat dinner." ”

Wen Du wanted to say something to comfort him, but looking at his appearance, he had to give up.

Ye Xun was lying on the bed, his eyes were looking at one place in a daze, and tears flowed down his face from the corners of his eyes from time to time...... After a while, there was a knock on the door, "Young Master, I'm Xiaohu." Madame told you to go to dinner. ”

"Didn't I say I wouldn't eat it? Don't bother me! ”

"Lin Gongzi is also here, and Madame wants you to come out to accompany him. said that he would also discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. ”

"He comes eight times a day, and he still needs me to accompany him? They discuss the festival by themselves, I don't care! Get out of here! ”

"Okay, young master. I'm gone, you have a good rest. ”

After a while, there was another knock on the door, it was Xiaoxiao. "What's going on? I'm coming, you're playing dead in the house? Open the door for me! ”

"Get out! Let me be quiet for a while! ”

Xiaoxiao kept knocking on the door without speaking, Ye Xun had to soften, "Xiaoxiao, I'm not feeling well today." It's possible that you're sick and have a headache that's about to explode. Can you let me rest for a while? I'll play with you again when I have time? ”

The knock on the door broke for a while, and then it rang again. Ye Xun was furious, who are these people? Why is your life so bitter? You can't even stay in peace if you want to! He sat up and yelled outside, "It's over! Get lost! Get out of the way! Don't bother me! ”

The knocking on the door stopped, and a voice came, "Who is this?" Such a big fire! Does this family owe you? You have to be urged to eat a meal! "It's Wakaren's voice.

"Ma'am? I didn't know it was you. I thought it was Xiaoxiao. I told them I wouldn't be having dinner today. ”

Ruolian's tone softened a little, "I heard Xiaoxiao say that you are sick?" What's uncomfortable? Do you need to look for Langzhong? ”

"Oh, maybe it's a little tricky, and my head hurts a little. Just get some sleep. ”

"You really don't need to look for a doctor? Lately, I've always felt like something was wrong with you. Ever since the last time you were knocked unconscious by the stone and the bull, you've lost your energy. Is it broken somewhere? ”

"Thank you Madame for your concern, I'm really fine." He felt a wave of grievances in his heart, and said weakly, "I just want to rest for a while and get a good night's sleep." Just wake up tomorrow morning. Please, don't come! ”

"Good! You rest, I'm gone. "Ruolian has a rare good temper.

The second day is the traditional festival Mid-Autumn Festival, and the yamen will rest in the afternoon. The day before, Xiaoxiao came to discuss with Ruolian, and Ruolian was responsible for the preparation and procurement of the festival, and all expenses were paid by Xiaoxiao. They also invited a troupe from the capital, and in the evening, the whole family had a sumptuous reunion dinner, followed by a moon viewing session...... Everything is arranged properly, and Ye Xun doesn't have to worry about anything. Throughout the day, Ye Xun was like a walking corpse, lost his soul. In order not to spoil everyone's interest, he participated with everyone in every link, but he only had a shell. Looking at the pink flower girl on the stage, Ye Xun saw Qiu Tong wearing a pink gauze skirt on the 'Shangsi Festival', and she gave herself a string of colored gems shyly...... Ye Xun's eyes blurred again and again, and he let himself swallow the tears he was about to shed again and again......

Ruolian discovered Ye Xun's abnormality, so she secretly walked to Wen Du, who was concentrating on watching the play, and glanced at Ye Xun who was not far away with her eyes and asked quietly, "Wen Du, what's wrong with him?" ”

Wen Du looked at Ye Xun, who seemed to have an out-of-body soul, and stopped talking, but still shook his head.

Ruolian said with some concern, "You two are together every day, and you don't know what to say?" Did you say it was broken by the stones they had two days ago? You don't need to find a doctor. ”

"Probably not, he was injured on his body and didn't hit his head." Wen Du thought about it, but still felt that he should tell her the truth, "Adults are ...... Lost in love. ”

"What is a broken love?"

"It's that he and Miss Wu have broken up and broken up."

"Completely separated." Ruolian's eyes flashed with a hint of undetectable surprise.

"Well, it's a pity. It must be heartbreaking for adults to like her so much. ”

"What did I think? It will be fine in two days. What young person can't go through this? Ruolian's heart suddenly felt a lot easier. I thought what had happened to him in the past two days? It's not that there's something wrong with your body. ”

Wendu is not as optimistic as Ruolian, "I think maybe it's not that easy." If you are sick, you can see a doctor, but how to treat a disease in your heart? Adults attach so much importance to affection, it is still quite difficult to pass this hurdle. ”

At dinner in the evening, Xiaoxiao walked up to Ye Xun with a cup, "Tianyu, I haven't listened to you much today, it's a big holiday, come have a drink with me." ”

Ye Xun didn't know that he was talking to himself for a long time, and he squeezed out a little smile and shook his head. Then he fell into his own world.

Xiaoxiao was stunned, as if he was taken aback, and he asked others, "Why is he still smiling at me?" Isn't he weird today? I didn't hear him scold me for a day, and I felt like something was missing. ”

Ruolian stepped forward and pulled him, "Xiaoxiao! Don't bother him. Are you afraid that no one will accompany you when you drink? Let Ruoxia and Wendu accompany you! ”

Xiaoxiao was pushed forward by Ruolian, looked at Ye Xun, and asked Ruolian worriedly, "What's wrong with him?" Still sick yet? ”

"Uh-huh." Ruolian said perfunctorily, "You drink more tonight." ”

After dinner, everyone put refreshments and fruits in the garden, and chatted and admired the moon while eating. Due to the fact that he drank a lot of wine at dinner, and Ye Xun was not in a high mood, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep before the end of the day. The family dispersed, Ye Xun didn't leave, he sat on the stone bench in the garden alone, looking at the full moon in the sky, the scenes of the past flipped in his mind, making him have mixed feelings in his heart, and the tears that he had held back for a day finally couldn't help but fall......

I don't know how long it took, Ye Xun suddenly heard a noise behind him, and he looked back and saw that it was Ruolian. Ruolian had been silently watching him in the dark, and only then did she appear when she saw that the sky was almost dawn.

"Madame, why are you? Haven't slept yet? ”

"It's almost dawn, still sleeping? It's time to go! Aren't you, a big man sitting outside wiping his tears all night? ”

"I didn't. It's just boring, and I want to sit outside for a while. Ye Xun tried his best to hide it with red eyes.

"Humph!" Ruolian chuckled lightly, expressing disbelief, "What's wrong?" Feel like you've been a big different person lately? Are you still holding a grudge against me?

"How so? How can a family have an overnight feud? ”

"I'll just say, when I'm angry, I want to kill you, but as soon as my anger disappears, I forget everything. If it's not because of this, why are you? ”

Ye Xun thought for a while before saying, "I'...... I just feel a little tired, tired. ”

"Tired? Wasn't it like this before? Haven't you always been here this way? ”

Ye Xun smiled bitterly, "Yes, I've been tired all the time." As he spoke, a wave of grievances came up again.

"Alas, man lives to suffer. Is it because you are tired, can you still not live? Don't you have to get up early every day and work hard to earn your life? ”

"Hmph, sometimes I feel alive...... It's better to die. Ye Xun held back the tears that were about to fall, and said disheartenedly.

Ruolian was really anxious, "Bah, bah! What to say! It's better to die than to live! How old are you? The good times have just begun! ”

"Just beginning? How do I feel that I have reached the end of my rope and my heart is like ashes? Ye Xun looked in one direction and said faintly.

"What nonsense?" Ruolian nudged him, "Are you because of that Miss Wu?" Then you're too unproductive? How can a manly man have no wife? ”

Ruolian's words touched Ye Xun's sadness, his throat moved, suppressing the emotions that were about to come up again, and he said for a long time, "Not only am I useless!" Not worthy of love at all! I deserve to be alone! ”

When Ruolian saw him like this, she persuaded, "You don't have to give up on yourself so much, where are you so bad?" On your terms, there is a draft event in the capital, and the girls who apply have to line up from the street to the end of the street. You're going to die or live for a girl now, it's not worth it! ”

Ye Xun looked up at her, a little helpless.

Ruolian saw that the situation was improving, and then said, "Fate is something that cannot be found, and it will be yours after all." I haven't come now, it's fate yet. Besides, starting a family is important, but there are many more important things than this! Our family is counting on you, if you have three long and two short, do you rest assured that you will hand over your father to me? ”

Ye Xun finally smiled, "Thank you, madam, that's what I said, and I won't really die." ”
