The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset on the horizon radiated a dazzling brilliance with the setting sun, burning half of the sky red.

As usual, Xiao Lingfeng walked out of the Cui Qing Pavilion, his hair was a little messy, and the slight beard under his nose seemed to be a little heavier, although he felt a little more vicissitudes, but he looked more and more mature and attractive. Xiao Lingfeng staggered, with a little drunkenness.

Cuiqing Pavilion is the largest Fengyue place in the capital, and many officials, wealthy merchants, gentry, and nobles come here to gather and have fun. Xiao Lingfeng is the largest wealthy merchant in the local area, operating countless medicinal materials, silk and money villages, and has a strong martial arts, willing to be benevolent, righteous and courageous, and has close ties with many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, but never has a lot of trouble with them.

But until Ruxuan left her, he began to go in and out of the Cui Qing Pavilion almost all day, and began to live and dream of death, maybe only in this way can he temporarily forget the pain in his heart.

At this time, the streets are no longer as bustling as they are during the day, except for a few small traders and hawkers, and there are sporadic pedestrians rushing home. Xiao Lingfeng staggered forward, maybe the strength of the wine came up, so he felt dizzy, so he leaned on a tree on the corner of the street to sober up.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over from the opposite side and led a little girl.

"Daddy, the sugar gourd is so delicious", the little girl held the man in one hand and the sugar gourd in the other, and her clear eyes showed a sense of satisfaction.

"It's delicious, Daddy will buy it for you tomorrow", seeing the little girl so happy, the man couldn't help but be excited.

Xiao Lingfeng watched them disappear into the long street, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he fell into deep memories.

A year ago

"Wan'er, wait for Daddy, don't run so fast", Xiao Lingfeng shouted from behind.

I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in the crowd not far in front of him shouting at him: "Daddy, hurry up, why are you so slow, I won't wait for you!" ”

"See if I don't catch you!" As he spoke, Xiao Lingfeng quickened his pace and hugged Wan'er in his arms.

"Haha, got it!" Xiao Lingfeng hugged Wan'er and shuttled through the crowd.

"Daddy, I want to eat sugar gourds, you see, there are ones for sale in front!"

"No, you've already eaten several of them today," Xiao Lingfeng said.

"No, I still want to eat, Daddy, my good Daddy, just one is good" Wan'er's clear and transparent eyes exuded a begging gaze, and she looked at Xiao Lingfeng motionlessly.

Wan'er is all of Xiao Lingfeng, and the two most important people in his life are his daughter Wan'er and his wife Ruxuan, and he will love them with his life. He loves his daughter so much, from childhood to adulthood, he will do his best to meet Wan'er's request, and never let her be hurt in the slightest, which can withstand Wan'er's bitter pleading.

"Okay, okay, let's go buy it", Xiao Lingfeng said firmly, "But, don't tell your mother when you go back!" ”

"Mmmm, this is the secret between us", said Wan'er kissed Xiao Lingfeng's face, this time, Xiao Lingfeng's heart is sweeter than eating honey, and his daughter's happiness is his happiness.

The sun is about to set, the only remaining residual light shines on the calm water, sparkling, a father and daughter on the shore, a lot of snacks, "Wan'er, let's go home, come out for an afternoon."

"Wait, wait until I'm done," Wan'er said, gulping it into her mouth.

"Wan'er, what's your favorite thing?"

"Eat and play", Wan'er said as she ate, her mouth full of stuff. Wan'er is a lively and lovely girl, simple and kind, Xiao Lingfeng teases Wan'er like this every time, looking at Wan'er's cute appearance, Xiao Lingfeng is very happy.

Suddenly, Wan'er wiped her mouth and said, "There is also world peace!" ”

"Haha, good, world peace! Let's go home! Holding a box of osmanthus cakes, Wan'er took Xiao Lingfeng's hand and jumped home.

As soon as he entered the gate, he happened to meet Le Ling, Xiao Lingfeng asked softly, "What is Madame doing?" ”

"Master, you'd better hurry up and go in, otherwise you'll be in trouble again, dinner is ready, and Madame is waiting for you to eat."

Le Ling is Xiao Lingfeng's personal maid, but Xiao Lingfeng never treats her as a human being, Le Ling is a lonely person, Xiao Lingfeng saw that she had nowhere to go and took her in to stay in the house. Xiao Lingfeng and Wan'er tiptoed into the room and saw Ruxuan sitting at the dining table with his back to them

"You are advanced", Xiao Lingfeng pushed Wan'er.

"I don't, you're daddy, you're in first", the two of them chatted at the door, because they came back beyond the time specified by Ruxuan, and the two of them didn't dare to enter the door. Xiao Lingfeng loves Ruxuan very much, so he obeys Ruxuan's words, everything in the family is Ruxuan, in order not to make her unhappy, he and his friends go out to drink and never stay up all night, and never touch women when gathering with those officials and nobles.

Sometimes those officials and nobles laughed at him jokingly: "Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, find a girl to serve and serve which round to get a woman!"

Xiao Lingfeng always said: "What do you know, that's not fear, that's love, a good man won't make his woman sad", so everyone knows that he is afraid of his wife, and over time it will not be strange.

The father and daughter were pushing, and suddenly Ruxuan spoke: "Do you still know how to come back?" Didn't you say go out and play for a while? Hurry in, the food is cold", they walked in slowly.

Xiao Lingfeng said with a smile on his face, "Madam, your favorite osmanthus cake", and handed her the box he got back.

She was still a little angry, and she took it and said, "Okay, let's eat!" The father and daughter just sat down, Wan'er suddenly said: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first", after speaking, she ran to her room, Xiao Lingfeng thought to herself that this is sleepy, it is because she has eaten too much sugar gourd, and she can't eat, and now no one is training with her, she is smart.

Ruxuan said: "Are you taking her to eat indiscriminately again, you see that she doesn't even eat."

"No, she's probably tired of playing, right?" Now she can only admit it, lest she nag again. It seemed that the osmanthus cake had played a role, she didn't continue to pursue it, and Xiao Lingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun had completely set down the mountain, the temperature of the night plummeted, a cold wind blew, Xiao Lingfeng shivered, and also dragged him back to reality from his memory, he tightened his clothes and stood up from the tree against his back, at this time the wine had woken up for the most part, but his heart was still so heavy and helpless. He walked down the deserted street with difficulty, and soon, the heavy night swallowed up his lonely back.
