The third sister blinked a pair of bright big eyes silently looked at the carved buildings, pavilions and pavilions in front of her, and the sun cast afterglow under the sunset, imprinted on the surface of the lake, sparkling.

"Third sister." Nian Zhen called softly.

"Well...... the little lady looked up at her, and found that the big sister was gone, and continued to look at the scene in front of her.

The third sister must have never been far away, not to mention other places in Hedong, and even their small village may not have been out a few times.

The area around Zezhou, Hedong, where her home is located, is the main battlefield area of the battle between the enemy and us on the northern and western fronts. Years of war, coupled with drought, locusts, military disasters, and rampant taxes, the people are not able to make a living, how can the economy be brought up, the little lady is the first time to come to the city of Tokyo, the first time to see such a magnificent courtyard.

Although this courtyard is not as good as the mansion of the princely family, it is definitely a good house in the whole city of Tokyo.

Nian Zhen looked at the third sister quietly, as if she saw what she used to be from her.

When I was sold to the Xue Mansion and entered the Mansion, it was the first time I saw such a bright and beautiful house with lanterns hanging everywhere, and I was in the same mood.

She muttered to herself, "Our fates are similar, but you will grow into a different woman from me, third sister......"

Her self-talk was heard by the third sister nearby, she turned her head to look at Nian Zhen, with a pair of big eyes, a little dazed.

Nian Zhen's words just now were difficult for her to understand when she was too young.

Nian Zhen chuckled lightly and raised his hand to ** the little lady's hair.

These days of getting along, Nian Zhen has already regarded the third sister with a fate similar to her as her own sister.

From the third sister's body, she vaguely saw her ill-fated childhood.

As the sun sets, his eyes reveal sunset-like sadness.

……

Now there are only three people in a huge mansion, Chen Xu, Nian Zhen, and the third sister, so it should be empty in Chen's mansion at present.

Nian Zhen first helped the third sister choose a room near the pond and said to her, "In the future, you will live here."

The place is big, there are a lot of rooms, and now there are only three people in total, so I don't have to worry about staying at all.

However, cleaning such a large place is also a big problem.

A water pavilion at the pond.

Inside the pavilion, sitting on a stone bench, leaning on the stone table with one hand on the head and quietly looking at the swaying pond water in front of you. In fact, Chen Xu sometimes feels that a slow life like this is not bad.

In the past, the life he wanted was a hot kang for his wife and children, a little wealth, and plain was true.

But it's just that he thinks about it once in a while, and now he has more important things to do.

At this time, the afterglow of his eyes felt dim, and someone came.

He turned his head and glanced at it, and it turned out to be Nian Zhen.

Chen Xu smiled and said, "You're here."

"Hmm." She answered softly. Nian Zhen was still a little restrained, and sat on another stone bench. These days, like a dream, the originally ethereal and ethereal things were so easily completed, and Brother Xu realized what she only dared to do in her dreams before.

Then she followed him to Tokyo, but she was very scared in her heart, was she afraid that it was just a dream, illusory and fragile? Or do you feel inferior, afraid of not being worthy of him and being rejected?

Both.

It's complicated, and I just feel upset.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she looked absent-minded, Chen Xu asked.

Nian Zhen didn't know what she was thinking, she was distracted, and when she heard Chen Xu's voice in her ears, she turned her head and quickly smiled, saying that she was very happy.

"Nope." Nian Zhen shook his head and said.

However, Chen Xu saw that these were all cover-ups, he looked into her eyes and said, "You can't fool me, your eyes betrayed you."

Nian Zhen was silent for a while before he said, "I'm thinking about what you did for me."

Chen Xu continued to listen very carefully.

"I thank you for doing it for me, and I will repay you." Nian Zhen continued, "You can dispose of me as you like, but I just beg you not to sell me and let me be yours alone. ”

Chen Xu was surprised when he heard this: "Why do you say that? I won't sell you! ”

Thinking of Nian Zhen's misfortunes in the past, he thought that she should be insecure now.

He stepped forward and hugged her, comforting, "No, I won't sell you."

"I'm really tired, I just want to live well for the last time......" The voice had already begun to choke, and tears were left uncontrollably, wetting the placket on Chen Xu's chest.

For this situation, Chen Xu, who has no experience, is at a loss. Going into battle to kill the enemy, he has done a lot over the years, but to comfort women, he can't think of what to do in his head for a while.

He gently rubbed the back of the woman in his arms, and inadvertently saw the lotus flowers blooming in the pond in the afterglow.

"Okay, I shouldn't have said so much and worried you." She touched her tears.

"Guo Lang, I'll go cook first." Nian Zhen gently pushed Chen Xu away, raised his head, showed a reluctant smile, and said.

She was about to walk away, but Chen Xu grabbed her forearm, and Nian Zhen turned her head and looked at him.

"Wait." He pointed to a place not far away, and recited the truth.

Nian Zhen looked over as he said.

In the days of midsummer, the lotus blooms extraordinarily brilliantly, at this time the sun has not yet set, the afterglow is still there, although it is not noon, there is quite a bit of "the lotus flower is different red in the sun".

At this time, her ears rang: "You see these lotus flowers, they grow out of the mud, but they come out of the mud and are not stained, and they are slim. Unfortunately, she was born in the mud, but she can't be dyed half of it, and it won't damage half of her beauty. ”

"I understand your thoughts, in fact, you don't have to think like this, it doesn't matter, it's all in the past, everything is in the past. In my eyes, you are like a beautiful and pure lotus, even if you are a little unfortunate, but you are tenacious and tenacious to live......"

Chen Xu is not a talkative person, and he can't say a word out of his mouth, but obviously his words moved and persuaded Nian Zhen. Her eyes were as bright as flowers, and the blush and shyness on her face all revealed the powerful persuasiveness of Chen Xu's words.

Nian Zhen looked at his face and his eyes carefully, and found that he didn't feel all of him in his previous days, it turned out that this man who was often full of iron armor also had such a gentle side.

"Really?" She asked softly with a blushing face.

Chen Xu nodded affirmatively.

"I'll repay you." Nian Zhen whispered.

……

It's night.

After dinner, Chen Xu returned to the room.

There are basic books on the table.

I didn't expect that there were still books in the study room of this house, maybe others thought that books were not valuable, so there was no need to pay attention to them.

He picked out a few history books and used them to learn about the history of this world.

For him, books are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, and among them, history books are a door for him to understand the history of this world.

To be honest, these ancient classical Chinese are very nerve-wracking to him, his major is not to learn ancient Chinese, and there is no knowledge about this in the memory of the teenager he obtained, not everyone can read books in ancient times, let alone a teenager who is a flat-headed common man for several generations.

"Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of Later Han".

Hey, why is this "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" so thick, well, the Book of the New Han Dynasty should be a historical record after the Shu Han annexed the world and established a unified regime.

Well, there is also a "Book of the Whole Tang Dynasty". Tang Gaozu Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty...... Taizong Li Zhaoming fought in the south and the north, and made great contributions to the unification of the world in the Tang Dynasty......

Liang Taizu Zhu Wen supported the army and usurped the throne, the Tang Dynasty officially fell, and the world officially entered an era of great turmoil and chaos.

Seeing this, Chen Xu found that this world has been on the wrong track since the Three Kingdoms era, and many people who originally existed in history are gone, but there are many people who don't exist. For example, there was the Tang Dynasty, but Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong were replaced, and for example, the person who destroyed the Tang Dynasty or Zhu Wen did not change......

It seems that you have to work the text, there is no punctuation, and it is all obscure Chinese, Chen Xu feels a headache when he sees it.

……

Now I understand what Nian Zhen means when he says, "I will repay you".

After she bathed, she didn't comb her hair, draped her hair, wore a middle coat, and slipped into Chen Xu's room lightly.

Chen Xu looked at her stunned, he was not a fool, and immediately understood what Nian Zhen wanted to do.

It was already dark, the room was lit with candles, and the lonely man and widow were in the same room, and she was wearing only a middle coat.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably, feeling a little nervous, he hadn't been in love yet, so he just skipped the intermediate process and went straight to the point?

Nian Zhen approached with a red face, grabbing the corner of his clothes in his hand, and Chen Xu's nervous atmosphere didn't dare to come out, sitting motionless on the chair, like a human-shaped stone.

She also seemed to be nervous, unable to say a word, and glanced at Chen Xu quietly.

Nianzhen's hand let go of the corner of her clothes, and after waiting for a while, she gently grabbed Chen Xu's hand. Chen Xu's hands are very large, and because he has held the weapon for a long time, his palms are very rough.

She threw herself into Chen Xu's arms, her face was close to his big chest muscles, and suddenly, because she was very close, he smelled the refreshing fragrance of the woman. Nian Zhen trembled and slipped his somewhat rough palm into her skirt, slowly grasping it and placing it on her smooth leg.

The candles were blown out, and in the quiet of the night, only the light of the moonlight shone through the screen window.

It was quiet, and the two could clearly hear each other's breathing.

The moon shyly ducked into the clouds, revealing only half of her face.
