Chapter Twenty-Seven: Departure

Wang Yuan did not think that what Li Xin'er said was unreasonable, and the struggle for power between Li Shizhi and Li Linfu was not an incomprehensible thing, and the struggle for power between important ministers in the DPRK and China was the most common phenomenon in history, and Wang Yuan fully believed this.

It's just that since Li Xin'er deceived herself into sending a letter for her and put herself in a dangerous situation, Wang Yuan had an inexplicable rejection and defense of Li Xin'er from the bottom of his heart. Wang Yuan naturally refused to let his mother-in-law and mother always talk about that incident, but even if Li Xin'er did keep her promise to stay by her side to protect her, and did make up for it in her actions, Wang Yuan still warned herself that she could no longer fall for Li Xin'er.

In view of this defensive mentality, Wang Yuan always felt that Li Xin'er had her own purpose in dissuading herself, so even if she thought that what Li Xin'er said had some truth in her heart, Wang Yuan still insisted on finding a few not very good reasons to believe in this good thing that fell from the sky.

Of course, some of Steward Liu's promises today are also very attractive to Wang Yuan, and when Wang Yuan was suffering from the embarrassment of reality and had no way to forge ahead, he suddenly realized that he had a relatively easy upward channel and did not try it, which was absolutely impossible.

After Huang San arrived, Wang Yuan sat down with him in the east wing, and 1510 told him about it, Huang San was surprised and his mood was also very complicated. On the one hand, he was happy for Wang Yuan and happy that Erlang finally had a good way out, but at the same time he was a little sad and reluctant.

Erlang is not a fellow traveler with himself after all, Huang San already knew this in his heart, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. The friendship that was finally re-established after the Wang family's downfall seems to have to come to an end, and it is impossible for Erlang and himself to carry lanterns together in the future, nor can they drink and laugh together.

Wang Yuan saw his low mood and comforted him: "San Lang, you and I are good brothers at all times, and you helped me in my most difficult time, I remember this in my heart." ”

Huang San sighed: "Erlang, I have long understood in my heart that you will be a person with great prospects in the future, and I am actually very happy for you today for you." I have always understood in my heart that Erlang is a person who has been a shopkeeper in Yong'an Fang all his life. Erlang must work hard, don't live up to Li Zuoxiang's weight, earn a future, and fight for your father and mother. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's natural, San Lang, you are at ease in Yong'an Fang, once I have the opportunity, I will pick up San Lang and the eldest sister you leave here and follow me to enjoy the blessings." ”

Huang San was very happy, he was embarrassed to say this sentence, Wang Yuan took the initiative to say it to show that Wang Yuan did not want to leave him in his heart, although he may have little expectations, but it also made Huang San feel very happy in his heart. Huang San sincerely hopes that Wang Yuan can have a good future, if one day, his fate may be changed, even if he follows Erlang to do chores and run errands, it is okay.

The two talked until noon, and Huang San wanted to take Wang Yuan's errand in the afternoon, so he made an appointment to see Wang Yuan off early tomorrow morning, and got up to say goodbye. Wang Yuan sent him out, and when he returned home, he felt hungry, and when he saw that it was already afternoon, he remembered that Li Xin'er hadn't eaten, so he went into the room to find Li Xin'er and asked her what she wanted to eat?

However, after entering the new house, the room was empty, and Li Xin'er, who was in the room, disappeared. Wang Yuan didn't remember that Li Xin'er went out when he was talking to Huang San, why did he suddenly disappear? Wang Yuan suddenly felt a little flustered and confused, so he looked around the three dilapidated houses, inside and outside the courtyard, and even looked at the firewood room and toilet, and finally didn't see a corner of Li Xin'er's clothes.

Wang Yuan silently returned to the room, facing the empty room in a daze, suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the bed, lifted the bedding at the head of the bed, and sat aside for a moment. Li Xin'er's sword under the futon is no longer there, if the sword is not there, this can only mean one thing, Li Xin'er did go out.

Wang Yuan's eyes turned around in the room, and fell on the small dresser, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some black dirt on the countertop, which was a little strange, Li Xin'er was a person who loved cleanliness, and the dresser was wiped spotless every day, and it was impossible to leave dirt.

Wang Yuan walked over quickly, and he saw a few lines of unclear small words written on the charcoal on the dressing table: "Erlang, my injury is almost healed, thank you for saving your life, anyway, you are about to enter the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the slave can't follow you, so it's better for the slave to leave as soon as possible." I will do my best to speak up to the prince, and I will never let Erlang be harmed, but please rest assured. If there is a fate, there will be a period later. Twelve mothers. ”

At this point, Wang Yuan really believed that Li Xin'er really said goodbye, and when he and Huang San were sitting in the west wing and talking, Li Xin'er left quietly, leaving only these few lines, which made Wang Yuan's mood instantly become extremely bad.

Although Li Xin'er's injury was about to heal, Wang Yuan had already prepared for Li Xin'er's departure in his heart, but Li Xin'er didn't even say a word of farewell in person, and leaving so suddenly still made Wang Yuan feel a little unacceptable. This woman suddenly appeared in her life, and suddenly disappeared after mixing everything up and messing up, which made Wang Yuan's heart a little unbalanced.

There seemed to be a residual fragrance on Li Xin'er's body in the room, and there were still a few long hairs that Li Xin'er had fallen on the pillow, but Li Xin'er had already left, for some reason, Wang Yuan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

Although Wang Yuan didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but believe in something in his heart, although he was wary of Li Xin'er, and he wouldn't even believe her anymore, but he was really used to Li Xin'er's existence in the past ten days.

In the past ten days of getting along, the two can meet sooner or later, although there are not many words, there is no charming and lingering situation, and even getting married is fake. But the house also feels at home because of Li Xin'er. Now that I suddenly became a loner again, it was as if I had lost something extremely precious that I couldn't recover, and I was a little depressed after all.

After a long time, Wang Yuan came back to his senses, shook his head and laughed at himself and accepted this reality. Li Xin'er stayed to fulfill her promise to protect herself, otherwise she would have left a few days ago when she was able to act a little. And now that he is about to leave Yong'an Fang, the danger will be lifted, and Li Xin'er's departure is a reasonable thing. As for the reason why she didn't say goodbye, maybe it was because she didn't want to face such a moment.

After hastily eating a few pieces of bread, Wang Yuan began to pack up his things slowly, there are not many things at home, the clothes are just a big package when packed, and the bedding has to sleep at night, so there is no need to pack it for the time being, and there are nothing else valuable. The pots and pans were packed away in a broken basket.

However, when he was packing up, a few of Li Xin'er's new clothes made Wang Yuan difficult, Gongsun Lan left a few clothes, and when she pretended to be married, she also bought two for Li Xin'er, and now almost all of them are here, and Wang Yuan doesn't know what to do with these clothes for a while.

I have the heart to give it all to the eldest sister and younger sister, but when I think about it, this dress is Li Xin'er's thing, and I can't make the decision for her. And suddenly giving away all Li Xin'er's clothes and utensils will also cause some unnecessary suspicions. Originally, it would be difficult to explain this matter to Huang San and them clearly in the future, but Wang Yuan didn't want to explain it clearly now, and it would make a fuss.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yuan finally decided to wrap all these clothes and lie on the bed to rest with his eyes closed. His eyes were closed, but his ears were always paying attention to the movement in the yard, and he realized that he was actually paying attention to whether there would be the footsteps of Li Xin'er coming back.

After more than an hour, Wang Yuan finally died, and it was impossible for Li Xin'er to come back, so he got up to freshen up, carried this small package out of the yard, and went straight out of Yong'an Fang from the Nanfang Gate to the east.

……

Under the afternoon sun, the snow on Chang'an Avenue is melting rapidly, and although the weather is still cold, the sun is already very powerful. Wang Yuan saw that the bare branches of the locust and elm trees on the side of the road had already risen one after another, which was the state before the leaves germinated, all of which indicated that spring was coming.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, as long as the weather is good, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an from getting out of the prison-like people's square, looking at the laughter of men and women on the street, Wang Yuan's mood is much better.

Soon after, Wang Yuan came to the Jinchang Fang, where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located, and came to Gongsun Lan's plum garden outside the familiar way.

The plum trees in the courtyard were still covered with falling snow, and the snow on the plum forest path leading to the houses on the side of the lotus pond seemed to have been trodden on, and Wang Yuan could clearly see the two lines of footprints left by the last time he came here. If he hadn't known in advance that Gongsun Lan would live here, he would definitely have thought that there would be no one living at the end of Merlin.

Dripping knee-deep snow, Wang Yuan came to the front of the residence with a heavy breath, but saw that the door was closed and the house was silent. Wang Yuan thought that it was not the right time for him to come, and suddenly heard several sounds of "Zheng Zheng", which seemed to be the sound of strings plucking.

Wang Yuan held his breath and listened quietly, the sound of the piano came from the back of the house, Wang Yuan gently bypassed the house, only to see a clump of green bamboos, in the open space after the snow was cleared, Gongsun Lan, who was dressed in white, sat on the side of a small table, and was gently brushing the yaoqin with both hands, playing an ethereal sound.
