Fifth, the beginning of the matter - Qijiazhuang (above)

Qi Xuan has always been restless these days, but he has found several doctors to come and see, but they all said that it was because he had been overworked recently and his qi and blood were insufficient, so he let himself rest more, and then prescribed a few calming medicines and left.

After Qi Song sent the doctor out of Qijiazhuang, he saw Qi Xuan who was distracted in the main hall, this is no longer known how many times Qi Xuan has been distracted, since he received the letter a few days ago, Qi Xuan has become like this.

"Owner, go back to the house and rest, it's winter, it just snowed yesterday, and it's cold." Saying that, Qi Song was going to instruct the maids on the left and right to take Qi Xuan back to the bedroom.

Qi Xuan didn't move, but was silent for a while before he asked Qi Song, "Ah Song, what day is it today?" ”

Qi Song was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the owner suddenly meant by asking such a sentence, so he thought about it, and then replied: "The thirty-fifth year of the Great Calendar, the fifteenth day of the winter month." ”

In fact, Qi Xuan didn't know why he suddenly asked like this, but he always held something in his heart, and he wanted to say it but couldn't say it.

"It's been thirty-five years since the Great Calendar." Qi Xuan sighed lightly.

A ray of sunlight shines through the doors and windows into the main hall, yesterday's snow does not seem to be very big, the small edelweiss covers the stone bench in the yard, the stone table, it seems to have a different taste, there are trees on both sides of the yard, there is snow on the trees, the servants under the trees do not know when they start to clean there, occasionally shake the trees in the yard with their hands, and the snowflakes fall from the trees, and then fall all over the ground.

"Twenty years ago, when I was nineteen years old, my father and the royal family of Chu State jointly set up the Yasi Metropolitan Mansion, and I, as the Shaodu Division of the Secret Division of the Metropolitan Mansion, was sent to Kyoto Mansion by my father, ostensibly the intelligence network in charge of the forces in the rivers and lakes, but everyone involved in that incident knew what the emperor kept us in Kyoto Mansion for." Speaking of this, Qi Xuan paused, as if he saw that he was brought to Kyoto by his father many years ago.

"Ah Song, eight years ago, you personally sent Xiaoyu to Kyoto Prefecture."

Qi Song nodded and said: "Yes, the owner of the village, when the old owner was seriously injured by a sneak attack by gangsters, you came back from Kyoto Mansion to take over Qijiazhuang, and the young master was also sent over at that time." ”

Qi Xuan sighed, as if he was sighing something, and then muttered: "It seems that this is the fate of our Qi family, a fate that can never be freed." ”

When Qi Xuan said this, his voice was very small, and even Qi Song, who was standing beside him, didn't pay attention to what Qi Xuan said again.

"Is there any news from San Lang?"

"Not yet, for the time being, the itinerary should be Kyoto Prefecture that I just arrived in today, and it won't be long before I meet the young master, even if I use carrier pigeons, the news will have to come tomorrow at the latest."

Qi Xuan frowned, didn't say anything, just sighed lightly, and got up and went back to the back hall.

Since three days ago, after Qi Xuan received the letter, he had a bad feeling in his heart, he felt that the content of the letter was true, so he asked San Lang to go to Kyoto Mansion to have a look, and he also had a look at Qi Lianyu there. It's just that I didn't expect that there has been no news from Saburo until now.

"Brother Xuan, you're back." When Meng Runan saw Qi Xuan coming back from the main hall, he walked over with a smile, and then took off the robe on his body for him, handed it to the maid next to him, and asked her to take it to the pavilion and hang it.

When Qi Xuan saw Meng Runan, his mood seemed to be much better, and the stuffiness that had accumulated in his chest with irritability had dissipated a lot.

"There's news of Yu'er." Meng Runan asked Qi Xuan while instructing the maid to do things.

"It should be soon." Qi Xuan roughly told Meng Runan what Qi Song said to him before, and most of it was to comfort her and make her feel more relaxed.

With Meng Runan's heart, he naturally knew Qi Xuan's thoughts, so he obeyed his meaning, did not continue to ask, but changed the topic, and said to Qi Xuan: "Brother Xuan, today is fifteen, although it is the winter moon, but the plum blossoms in the back garden of the village have been blooming for a long time. ”

Qi Xuan naturally knew Meng Runan's intentions, he was restless and depressed these days, and Meng Runan, as his pillow person, naturally saw it in his eyes. And the method of watching the moon and appreciating the plum blossoms is naturally to make yourself happy and relieve the sulkness in your heart.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuan looked at Meng Runan in front of him with gentle eyes, and everything in front of him seemed to have returned to nineteen years ago, when he and she had just met.

Talented and beautiful, love at first sight. After that, nearly 20 years of wind and rain followed.

Qi Xuan raised his hand and stroked Meng Runan's cheek, and then said to her gently: "Yu'er can't come out of Kyoto Mansion because of her identity, in a few days, I'll send someone to send you there, your mother and son haven't seen each other for a few days, let him see you as a mother." ”

Meng Runan nodded, and then the gentleness in her eyes turned into spring water and leaned on Qi Xuan's body.

The platform of Qijiazhuang is a double-storey pavilion built in the back garden of Zhuangli, from here, you can see the scenery of the whole back garden, now it has entered the winter moon, it snowed yesterday, the flowers and branches are naturally Xie Xie, the fall of the fall, it seems that only a plum blossom on the west side of the platform is still blooming.

Patches of pink flowers, dots of silver sherrel.

When the moon rose, Qi Xuan and Meng Runan came to the platform in the back garden. Because it was now the winter moon, Meng Runan asked the family to bring the stove over early, and then lit some good charcoal to warm the platform and pavilion, so that Qi Xuan would not get cold after coming here.

When the two came to the platform, the wine and food and some snacks were already placed there, there was no wind tonight, and the clouds were very thin, as if this was God's favor for the two.

Qi Xuan and Meng Runan leaned to the side and sat down, the maid on the side came over to pour wine for the two, and the window of the platform was open, just enough to see the moon in the sky from where the two of them were sitting. The plum blossoms in the courtyard, Meng Runan naturally also ordered with the family, and lit a few lamps there early, and the dim light should shine in the plum blossom forest, although there is a little less beauty during the day, but there is a little more mystery.

It didn't take long for Meng Runan to get a little drunk, her face was crimson, and she leaned on Qi Xuan's body weakly, but there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, that was her happiness, that was her dependence.

Qi Xuan was also a little drunk at this time, and when he saw Meng Runan like this, he ordered the maid to send Meng Runan back to the room, and he followed him back to the room.

After serving Meng Runan and drinking a bowl of sobering soup, the maids let her sleep.

Originally, Qi Xuan also lay down early, but the feeling he had before suddenly rose in his heart, like thousands of ants crawling in his heart, making him uneasy.

Maybe it was because the doors and windows were not closed tightly when the family left, and a cool breeze entered the house along the gap left in the house, blowing on Qi Xuan's face, Qi Xuan sighed, and then looked at Meng Runan, who was still sleeping on the side, I don't know why I suddenly felt a feeling of reluctance in my heart, it felt like the feeling when my mother passed away, Qi Xuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Qi Xuan rubbed his head, looking around in the dark with a headache, he wanted to call someone to come over and close the doors and windows tightly, but he thought of Meng Runan, who was drunk and sleeping on the side, so he sighed, and then got up and closed the doors and windows again.

In fact, everything has its own reason for existence, such as Qi Xuan's current state. The moment Qi Xuan opened the window and then closed it again, he seemed to understand the reason why he had always been restless these days.

What Qi Xuan saw at that moment was red, and the red in the sky was like a flower in full bloom in hell, bewitching and weird.
