As soon as Shen Mo said goodbye to Lin Shi and Xiao Chi, he received a letter from Feige from the distant prosperous Kyoto, the content of the letter couldn't help but make Shen Mo frown, stood up, and walked out of the room in a few steps.

Zhu Dong followed from a distance, and Yu Guang glanced at the open letter on the table, and his heart was full of surprise. Shen Mo walked quietly, this corridor that was only a hundred steps away today He walked for a long time, the acacia tree under the moon was quietly, as if it was plated with silver light by the moon, the flowers had already fallen several times, Shen Mo said lightly: "This year, it won't open again!" ”

Zhu Dong looked at the acacia tree that he had seen countless times, and did not answer Shen Mo's self-questioning.

Shen Mo slowly raised his head, looked at the Hehuan standing in the courtyard, and finally said, "Zhudong, you should go to her tomorrow." ”

Zhu Dong bowed his head and arched his hand: "Yes." Fu straightened up and looked at the thin young man's body under the corridor, his eyebrows fell in the moonlight, as if carved from the best white jade, and the slender and slender fingers were gently placed on the corridor pavilion, and he stood there quietly, without saying a word.

Inside, there was finally silence.

On the second day, Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu both got up late, and some strong sunlight spilled in from the open window, and hit Qiao Yan warmly, she rubbed her eyes, and then lifted the quilt and climbed up.

Zhang and Qiao Cheng had already had breakfast and rushed to the pond in the depression, Qiao Li only said that it was because the work in the cultivated land was busy, so the two went to the pond to see, there were some wild grass carp there, Qiao Cheng put in a lot of fish fry, so he went to take a look, saying that he wanted to catch a few and eat at home.

Qiao Yi sat under the eaves boredly, and couldn't help but think of Qiao Liu's words yesterday, crying like that of her and those pictures that she had no impression of at all, it really made people feel indescribably dazed.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, Qiao Yi stood up and thought in his heart: Who can come on a horse at this time? Thinking about it, there is only Zhu Dong, counting the time, he has indeed not been here for a long time.

Qiao Yi lifted his skirt and ran forward quickly, stopped at the door and stood on tiptoe to look out, and sure enough, he saw that it was Zhu Dong who was about to reach the door, he got off the horse familiarly, tied the reins to the acacia tree outside the door, and turned to Qiao Yi and saluted.

Qiao Yi was a little surprised in his heart, and he just smiled and returned a salute with an unskilled but regular smile. Zhu Dong smiled with his eyebrows: "The third lady is polite." ”

Qiao Yi smiled and lowered his head: "Thank you for another trip, the weather is really hot today, it is better to move to the simple room and drink some tea to get hot." ”

Zhu Dong bowed his head: "The third miss is polite, I should have followed the will of the third lady and moved into the house, but Zhu Dong still has important things to do, so I can only explain to you in three or two words in the doorway, and the third miss and I are tired in this hot day." ”

The corners of Qiao Yi's mouth hooked slightly: "You're polite, since I have something important to do, then it's inconvenient for me to keep it, and I hope to tell me." ”

Zhu Dong took the package off his shoulder and handed it to Qiao Yi: "My young master explained that all the things I handed over to Miss are inside, and I ask Miss to take them." ”

Qiao Yi nodded, took the burden and said, "So, can you wait here for me for a while, I have something to hand over to Shen Gongzi." ”

Zhu Dong smiled and nodded: "That's natural, Miss, don't worry!" ”

Qiao Yi said thank you and ran into the house, handed over the burden in his hand to Qiao Liu and Qiao Li, who were looking out with the door frame, quickly took out some wine from the jar, put it in a wine jug specially bought by Qiao Cheng, wrapped it in a wooden box, and handed it to Zhu Dong: "This is the osmanthus wine I made in my spare time, as a thank you gift to Shen Gongzi, a small gift, not a tribute, I hope Shen Gongzi can accept it with a smile." ”

Zhu Dong hung the things in front of the saddle: "I will definitely deliver the things, the third lady has a heart." So saying, he saluted, jumped on his horse, and rode away.

Qiao Yi watched Xiaolu return to his previous calm, turned around and went back to the house, Qiao Li and Qiao Liu were sitting on chairs, and on the table in front of them was the burden sent by Zhu Dong.

Qiao Liu asked curiously, "He was the one who came to give our family a commission last time?" ”

Qiao Yi nodded: "Yes, it was him twice." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened the baggage in front of him, and when the contents came into view, he saw a small rectangular box of red and brown wood placed on it.

Qiao Li chuckled: "Come to think of it, it's the same as last time, it's all for you!" ”

Qiao Yi gently picked up the box that looked exquisite, touched the edges and corners of the box with his fingers, and somehow remembered that night, he raised his head, and met his angular face, Qiao Yi knew that this thing was sent by him, but he didn't know what he meant, what it was.

Qiao Liu looked at Qiao Yi quietly, her eyes swept over her face and the wooden box in her hand, and then looked at Qiao Li with some confusion. Qiao Yi suddenly hooked the corners of his lips at this time and opened the wooden box. Inside the wooden box is a hairpin, a lifelike acacia hairpin.

The hairpin body made of gold of this acacia hairpin sparkles in the sun, dazzling and dazzling, and is finely and densely tattooed with dark lines, like water waves, like flower arcs, and the form is beautiful. The hairpin at the end is made of Beihai's unique pink beads with gold thread, and every thread is like an acacia flower, which looks like a real acacia, and the price is very expensive when you hold it in your hand.

Qiao Liu and Qiao Li looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in the eyes of both sides, and now when they look at this hairpin, they can know that the clothes last time were really the fairy fog of Miaoyifang. Qiao Yi stared closely at the hairpin in the box, frowned, reached out and pulled out a note from under the hairpin, opened the paper, and the handwriting on the paper jumped vigorously and smoothly, the same as the handwriting last time: "Give it to Hehuan, don't forget Hehuan." ”

Qiao Yi closed the wooden box, sighed slightly, put the wooden box in his hand on the table, and slowly sat down on the chair beside him. Shen Mo's move, I'm afraid, he himself doesn't know why, the desires and actions of his youth always come incredibly fast, and he doesn't know what he is doing at this time, and he is also confused in his heart!

Qiao Li patted Qiao Yan on the shoulder: "Put it away, eldest sister knows, you know what you have to do, what you have to do." ”

Qiao Yi tried to pull out a smile: "Yes, after a while, you will know." ”

Qiao Liu looked at the silver under the burden, there were as many as thirty taels, maybe he would usually be surprised by such a large sum of silver, but now when he saw the acacia hairpin, he could know that the money was probably not enough to buy the hairpin.

Qiao Li waved her hand and motioned for Qiao Liu to take the silver and put it away, and hand it over to Qiao Cheng and the Zhang family after they returned home. Qiao Liu nodded, and silently returned to the house to put the money.

Looking at the curtain of a brilliant summer acacia outside the door, but this acacia hairpin may never wait until autumn and winter, it will stay in the summer forever, blooming warmly and freely, deeply burning Qiao Yan's heart.

And will that young man's enthusiasm be like the acacia outside the door, it is now the height of the sun, but it can't survive the lonely autumn and winter.

At this time, Zhu Dong had just returned to Shen's house, stopped in front of Shen Mo's study door with the things entrusted by Qiao Yi, and lowered his head and buckled the door: "Young Master, the third young lady has something for me to pass on to you." ”

The young man's clean and clear voice came from inside the room: "Come in." ”

Zhu Dong pushed the door in, walked to the front of the desk step by step, bent down and respectfully presented the things with both hands: "Young Master." ”

Shen Mo put down the "Hundred Treatises of the Princes" in his hand, took the simple wooden box, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he looked at it for a long time, so long that Zhu Dong thought that he would not open it. However, Shen Mo opened it, and he looked at the contents of the box, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but there was still no trace of a smile on his face.

He picked up the wine jug, this wine jug covered in white porcelain without a trace of pattern, it was the simplest agricultural wine jug, so simple that Shen Mo had never used it. Zhu Dong's eyes were firmly fixed on the tip of his shoe: "The third lady said that this is the osmanthus wine she brewed herself, yes, it is a thank you gift to the young master." ”

Shen Mo lowered his eyes: "Thank you? What did she thank me? ”

Zhu Dong lowered his head deeply: "Zhu Dong doesn't know, the third lady didn't say it." ”

Shen Mo hooked the corners of his lips but did not have a trace of a smile: "She brewed it herself, then I want to taste it carefully, taste what this osmanthus wine tastes like." As he spoke, he picked up the blue and white porcelain cup on the side of the table, poured the cold tea in the cup into the bamboo on the flower stand on the side, and filled it with a glass of wine again.

Full of wine with a uniform fusion of floral aromas, Shen Mo watched quietly, picked up a glass and put it to his lips, and then drank it all. The aroma of flower wine went down the throat of the tooth tongue and reached the stomach, and the warm smell of the wine immediately burned the whole body.

Shen Mo put down the wine glass heavily, raised his head and closed his eyes: "Zhudong, you go down!" ”

Zhu Dong looked at Shen Mo, hesitated slightly, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”

The door of the study was opened and closed, and finally only Shen Mo was left in the room, he opened his eyes and lowered his head, looked at the wine jug in his hand, and put it into the wooden box, and the porcelain cup in his hand was also thrown aside by him: "Good wine, really good wine, such a good wine, a glass is enough." ”

He stood up, walked down, walked to the window, and looked out at the courtyard wall. The acacia that had long since lost the flowers was very lonely in this courtyard, adding a bit of loneliness to the courtyard with many flowers and leaves, "Has the time of flowering passed?" Will they be back? Next year? Or the year after? Or, even later......"

The hurried wind, the hurried moon, did not give him a trace of answer, Shen Mo stood in front of the window, his hands clenched into fists, and outside the window, the wind did not stop.
