The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

The weather in April, whether it is in the south of the Yangtze River or in the north, has not entered the early summer, but it is already a green scene.

Zhou Yuxuan was on the top of the mountain with his back hand, overlooking the green mountains and green waters below, and over the years, he had patrolled around on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

He has traveled all over the country, in dense jungles, and he has also seen all kinds of humanistic features.

But his favorite place is not the prosperous capital, but Jinling, which has a deep heritage.

This is where he grew up, and here is where he lived with his cousin.

Only here, as if it is his belonging, patrolling around, when he has free time, he will go to Jinling to live.

The place where he is standing now was also a place where he and his cousin played, and here, you can see the style of Jinling.

The mountain wind blew the hem of his garment, and the hunt sounded.

"Shizi!"

"What's the matter?"

"News came from the capital that the queen mother was pregnant with her third child."

Hearing this news, Zhou Yuxuan was in a trance for a while.

Nian Nian is about to have a third child?

For a long time, he didn't turn around, still with his back to the guard behind him, just nodded and said,

"I know, you tell me to go down, as before, there are suitable things to be gathered up, and after showing them to me, I will send them to the capital."

He paused, then said,

"Forget it, after the things are put away, let's send them directly to the capital."

"Yes!"

The footsteps behind him were light and faded away.

Zhou Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and actually took a few steps forward.

Although his martial arts had not slackened over the years, and his steps were very steady, because he was infinitely close to the edge of the cliff, he could clearly hear someone whispering uncontrollably among the guards hidden in the shadows.

Over the years, he has secretly visited corrupt officials everywhere, and the grievances of the people are not easier than being an official in the court.

He and these guards were born and died, and the death that hung by a thread has also been witnessed countless times.

He ignored the men's cries, and just stood on the edge of the thousand-foot-high cliff with his hands in his hands, looking at the prosperity of the mountain from a distance.

His world is in this vast world, and her world, in the capital, in the palace, lies in her children and husbands.

It wasn't until dusk that Zhou Yuxuan took a few guards down the mountain and returned to Jinling City.

By the time the Zhou family was in the old house in Jinling, the sky had completely darkened.

Smoke had risen all over the city, and there was peace everywhere.

This is the result of the efforts of many people.

After entering the old mansion, he withdrew the guards and went all the way back to the courtyard where he lived.

This is the courtyard where his grandmother lived when the eldest princess of the country was there, and not far away is the courtyard where Nian Nian used to live, and she named it 'Guitianju.' ’

He stood in front of Guitian and watched for a while before returning to his courtyard with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that the lights were already in place everywhere, and there was silence inside.

The attendants beside him were all old servants, and they all knew that he did not like to hold the lamp everywhere in the evening, and usually only lit an oil lamp in the house so that he could see the way home.

How is it different today?

He stood in front of the gate of the garden and hesitated for a moment, and a person came out of it, and when he saw him, he said with a smile,

"I thought you weren't going home today, why, you went to the top of the mountain to see the scenery again?"

On the steps stood a young woman in her twenties. The complexion is different from that of the Dongli noblewoman, with some wheat color, and her eyes are extremely bright.

The sound is crisp and loud.

Seeing that Zhou Yuxuan was stunned and didn't step forward, he crossed his waist and said with a smile,

"What, Zhou Shizi, but I haven't seen you for a while, you don't know me?"

"Feng'er." Zhou Yuxuan finally recovered from his stupor, and cried out in disbelief, "Why are you here?" ”

Bai Feng's heart was sour, but he couldn't see it on his face, and said with a smile,

"That's it, after so many years, it's not that I don't know the way."

She walked down the steps and walked towards Zhou Yuxuan with light steps, just with the light on her back, Zhou Yuxuan didn't see the clothes on her body clearly.

This will walk in front of him, only to find that she is wearing the clothes of a noble girl from Dongli, as well as the jewelry on her head and the ring around her waist, all of which are dressed as a Dongli woman.

She didn't take a step, she hung down on her waist steadily, and didn't make any sound, if she didn't know, she just thought it was a noble girl from a high family in the east.

She got closer and closer, and Zhou Yuxuan subconsciously took a step back.

Bai Feng, "......"

She raised her eyebrows, and the chastity and virtuous lady just now ran away, and she said fiercely,

"Why, what, what do you mean by that? Am I ugly? Scares you like this. ”

Zhou Yuxuan looked at her fiercely, and then thought about her appearance just now, and suddenly laughed, and said softly,

"Where, Feng'er is the most beautiful woman, how can she be ugly?"

"It's just that I thought someone else was scaring me with your face."

After speaking, he glanced up and down at her again, clenched his right hand into a fist, put it to his lips, and coughed twice.

Bai Feng originally wanted to ask the teacher for guilt, but he didn't expect Zhou Yuxuan to talk to her so gently, and praise her, making her feel as if she had been fed a mouthful of honey.

The originally fierce face suddenly smiled like a flower, and glanced at Zhou Yuxuan,

"Brother Xuan, I haven't seen you for a few months, how did you become so flamboyant."

Zhou Yuxuan just smiled, then entered the room, saw that she was still standing there, and said,

"Why don't you come in and wait to feed the mosquitoes?"

Bai Feng hurriedly walked towards him, but she forgot that she was wearing the dress of a Dongli woman today, and the hem of the skirt tripped her up.

Zhou Yuxuan was shocked, and hurriedly ran to her side from the house, stretched out his hand to help her up, grabbed her hand, and looked up and down,

"Did you get hurt from a fall? Is there any pain ......?"

Seeing that Bai Feng just looked at him stunned, he became more and more anxious, and even raised his hand to touch her head,

"Didn't you just fall on your head, are you stupid? I don't know how to speak. ”

"You're stupid......" Bai Feng finally spoke, his voice astringent.

In the past, if he wanted to say this, she would definitely jump up, but now he just replied softly, and Zhou Yuxuan became more and more sure that she was weird.

So he carefully helped her to walk into the house, and when he left, Bai Feng didn't say a word, just looked at him from time to time.

When he looked over, he hurriedly turned his head away.

When he entered the house, he placed her on a chair and paused in front of her to ruffle the hem of her skirt, "I'll see if you have broken your foot." ”

Bai Feng's feet shrunk, but in the end she didn't move, letting her lift the corner of her skirt to check the injury.

Such a move, put on Dongli's noble girl, Zhou Yuxuan would definitely not do it, but when facing Bai Feng, he didn't think about it so much at all, and he was full of wanting to see if she was hurt.

It's getting late, and the medical hall is almost closed at this time, so you don't have to go to the capital here, and you can go to the palace to call the imperial doctor.

Bai Feng looked at Zhou Yuxuan fixedly, his eyes were focused, and he had no intention of taking advantage.

She bit her lip, her fingers wrenched together unconsciously, her eyes drooping, not knowing what to think.

Zhou Yuxuan was anxious and didn't notice Bai Feng's abnormality.

He looked below her calf, and when he saw that it hadn't hurt anything, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head and asked,

"Does it hurt anywhere else?"

"Brother Xuan, are you afraid that I will be hurt?" Bai Feng asked.

Zhou Yuxuan stood up, of course he was afraid that Bai Feng would be injured, for so many years, the Bai family in Miao Village had called her back several times, and she went home obediently at first.

But when he went back a few months, he came out and followed him again.

Not only did he live and die with the guards, but he also lived with her.

In the past, no matter where he was, he would be worried about it, afraid that Xiao Yue would treat her badly, afraid that she would be bullied by other female relatives in the capital, afraid of this and that.

I don't know when, there is one more person in his heart.

In the past, she only felt annoyed when she followed her, but slowly, her croaking noise disappeared, and she was not so used to it.

This time, she was going to follow her to Jinling, but she was called back by her brother halfway.

I heard that her mother was sick and wanted to see her.

Zhou Yuxuan pursed his lips, remembering what her brother said to him at that time, his eyes darkened, and he asked softly,

"How's my aunt's illness? It doesn't matter why you didn't stay at home for a while longer. ”

Bai Feng didn't answer,

"Brother Xuan, do you know? This is the first time you've cared for me so blindly.

In the past, you were very concerned about me, but you have never been as careless as you are today. ”

"Can I ......" she bit her lip, the girl who was originally quick to talk would suddenly hesitate, but her face was flushed,

"Do you like me even a little bit?"

When Zhou Yuxuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the hand behind his back clenched into a fist, "I...... Treat you as a sister and your best partner, I naturally like you and care about you. ”

Bai Feng had heard this answer many times, and this time she couldn't believe her ears, she asked tremblingly,

"Sister! Best buddy! ”

Her heart ached, yes, what kind of answer did she want to hear?

She knew he was thinking of his cousin.

If it was someone else, she would probably be jealous, or she would simply use the Miao Village woman to knock on the door.

But that's Niannian, her good friend Niannian.

She knew how much Nian Nian liked Xiao Yue.

This makes her unable to be jealous if she wants to be jealous, and she can't get rid of the stumbling block.

"Brother Xuan, are you still thinking about Niannian in your heart? I know, you can't forget her. ”

"Over the years, I have been following you shamelessly, and you are also annoyed."

"I'm here to see you one last time."

"Actually, my mother is not sick at all, but the family wants to trick me into going back and getting married.

That man didn't dislike me for being old and wanted to marry me. ”

"Also, a Miao saint like me is very popular in Miao Village, even if she is an old woman, there is probably a young little brother who will be willing to marry me."

"You know, who the person I want to marry the most, I don't want to marry any man but him."

"But this time, I didn't say yes and I couldn't do it, my mother threatened me with her life, if I didn't marry, she would die."

"Although I was disobedient, I couldn't watch my mother die, so I agreed, let them give me three months, and after three months, I would go back and get married."

"I'm so stupid, I always thought that we had gone through so many tribulations, and I thought that I could always warm your heart with a sincere heart."

"But I was wrong, I couldn't cover it at all."

"Brother Xuan, I'm tired."

"Today, will you let me stay here for one night? Tomorrow, I'll go. ”

After speaking, she turned her back and stopped looking at Zhou Yuxuan.

In love, whoever indulges first and invests more will need to compromise.

Because the love is too deep, the more afraid it will be.

In the past, Bai Feng was afraid that he was not good enough in his eyes, afraid that he had not changed to his happy appearance, and afraid that pressing forward would push him further.

There were countless fears in her heart, so she compromised countless times.

This time, she was really tired.

Zhou Yuxuan's hand was held tightly, and he was afraid that he would lose his temper and raised his hand to stroke her head.

Every time she is sad, as long as he gently smooths his hair, he will smile happily.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

He said in a hoarse voice, "You have a good rest, and we'll talk again tomorrow." ”

Walking to the door, he looked back, and saw that Bai Feng was still leaning back and didn't want to look at him, so he finally turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

When he left the courtyard gate, he suddenly remembered that it was his courtyard just now......

Forget it, the old mansion is so big, let the next person clean up a place to live and come out, otherwise the study will collapse and you can rest for a while.

This night, Zhou Yuxuan did not sleep soundly, and after lying down, the ups and downs that he and Bai Feng have experienced over the years continue to come to mind.

From the first time Bai Feng rescued him and went to the capital with him, they have been in this pattern, where he goes, she goes.

From the rejection at the beginning, to later, she became an integral part of him.

He turned around, and Bai Feng's words sounded again in the evening, he had never seen such a sad Bai Feng.

It seems that he really broke her heart.

It's just that he wasn't ready, he didn't want to accept another woman at the same time when the person in his heart didn't let go.

It's not fair to her.

Tossing and turning all night, until dawn did not close the eyes slightly.

When he woke up, it was already three poles of the sun outside, he got up from the soft collapse, and thought that Bai Feng said that he was going back to Miao Village today, and he didn't even wear his shoes well, so he went back to his yard.

Under the uncle in the courtyard, Bai Feng was dressed in a concise dress and was setting a meal, when he heard a voice from the gate of the courtyard, he turned around, saw that it was him, beckoned, and said,

"Brother Xuan, come over for dinner, I made it myself."

"I heard that there is a market today, and the area around the City God Temple is very lively, can you take me to see it?" I've been to Jinling several times, but I've never seen what the bazaars in Jinling are like. ”

A smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth, and her voice was as crisp and clear as ever.

The heart that was beating wildly suddenly settled down, and he walked over slowly and looked at the dishes on the table, all of which he liked to eat.

Bai Feng pushed him, "You just got up, go wash up, and there is one more dish, it's fine." ”

The two had dinner together, and Bai Feng couldn't see the sadness of yesterday at the table, and Zhou Yuxuan didn't mention it very interestingly.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

After using it, Bai Feng went to change her clothes, and Zhou Yuxuan took her to the market.

In the past, when Nian Nian and his grandmother were in Jinling, he would often ask him to take him to visit.

He didn't want his entourage to follow, he took Bai Feng out, Bai Feng was dressed like a gentle girl from a small household, and followed him.

He was also just dressed in regular clothes, the only difference was that he had a long sword hanging from his waist.

Since he took the Son of Heaven on inspection, he often encountered some small troubles, he used to be a gentle son of a family, and his hand was inseparable from the folding fan, but now he was inseparable from the long sword.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Bai Feng was curious about everything, obviously they had been to some such markets before.

For Bai Feng's question, Zhou Yuxuan will answer patiently.

All the way to the vicinity of the City God Temple, this place is the most lively place in the market, although Bai Feng is curious about everything, but he has never asked for it, at most he just sees.

However, she was now attracted by a mask stall and stood in front of her for half a day.

Take a look at the animal noodles sold at the stall one by one and try them on.

The stall owner was a descendant, and when he saw a good-looking girl coming to the stall, he quietly glanced at it, and then glanced again, and couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.

Bai Feng's temperament has never changed much, like a little girl who doesn't know the world, and when she tries it on, she occasionally smiles at the future.

In that later life, he was even more fascinated, and if it weren't for the fact that someone on the side also wanted to buy a mask, he probably wouldn't be able to return to his senses.

Seeing that Bai Feng took two and said that he wanted to buy them, he immediately blushed and said,

"It's all made by me, it's not worth a few dollars, if the girl is loyal, it doesn't hurt to give you two."

Bai Feng nodded happily and hurriedly, and was about to take it behind him.

The passer-by who had just paid the money to buy a mask on the side was not happy when he heard Housheng say this.

What do you mean that it is worthless, and if it is not worth it, it will still be sold for money? Also collect her money.

As soon as she wanted to speak, she saw a hand stretched out from the slanted side, handed over the money, and said to the latter life,

"That's enough?"

Then I wanted to ask Bai Feng which girl she was, looking at her clothes, she was also a small family, maybe the two could still get married.

When he was thinking about it, he was interrupted, he was still a handsome son, and the boy seemed to be very kind on his face, but the look in his eyes made him tremble.

As if he was going to say not enough, or not to, he would be torn up immediately.

Seeing that he had been guarding the girl's side, he suddenly didn't dare to look at Bai Feng again, took the silver coin, and muttered in his mouth,

"Enough, enough...... "If it's not enough, it's enough."

The passer-by who wanted to tear up the fight just now saw that the person next to him also paid the money, and immediately left satisfied, but she originally took another beast face similar to Bai Feng, and her heart was unbalanced, so she reached out and grabbed the one in Bai Feng's hand and left.

Bai Feng didn't care either, took the one left by the passer-by, and handed it another one to Zhou Yuxuan.

Bai Feng picked a golden toad, while Zhou Yuxuan's was a somewhat bloody fanged face.

After putting on the mask, Bai Feng took Zhou Yuxuan's hand, looked at the lighted market outside through the two small holes dug out, and was very happy with people.

Be happy at the moment, enjoy the moment, this is Bai Feng's mentality.

On this day, at this moment, she is carefree, leaving all things on her mind.

After shopping for a while, Bai Feng still only watched, didn't buy, and asked some questions from time to time, Zhou Yuxuan followed her inch by her side, patiently protecting her, not letting passers-by crowd.

There are more and more people, more and more crowded, Bai Feng suddenly saw that there was a face in front of him, and the sugar man wanted it very much, but there were too many people around.

She turned her head to look at Zhou Yuxuan with fangs, and said, "Brother Xuan, can you help me buy one?" ”

Zhou Yuxuan was slender, much taller than her, looked at the noodle stall, so he took her to the stone tablet in front of the gate of the City God Temple on the side and stood there.

"You stand here, don't walk around, I'll buy it for you."

Bai Feng smiled sweetly and promised to stand here waiting for him.

Zhou Yuxuan turned around step by step and went to line up in front of the noodle stall, people came and went, and at first he could still glance at Bai Feng from time to time, and he was relieved to see that she was really standing there seriously.

There are so many people today, he is really afraid that those who have been lifted off the clouds by him will come to find fault.

Finally it was his turn, he said what Bai Feng wanted, looked back at the stone tablet, and Bai Feng shook his hand at him.

Just turned around, took the noodle man in his hand, and turned back again, the stone tablet was empty.

He took off the mask on his face, his heart was shocked, and his face was anxious, could it really be that someone did something to him tonight......

He picked up the noodles and was about to leave, but was stopped by the stall owner, and he hadn't paid yet.

He dropped a silver ingot, and the noodle man kept looking for Bai Feng in the crowd, stopping several women who were passing by, dressed similarly to her, wearing the same golden toad mask.

Ignoring the exclamations of the women, he turned over their masks.

Zhou Yuxuan's heart was never anxious, he was really afraid that Bai Feng would have an accident, and he regretted it even more, he should have taken her to the queue to buy noodles just now.

What should he do if something happens to her?

His heart was twisted.

He didn't know how many women's masks he had lifted, and without exception, none of them were her.

His heart became more and more anxious, and just when he was at a loss, a woman with the same mask as her came up, and he no longer had the energy to distinguish whether the two were wearing the same dress, so he went up and turned over the woman's mask.

"Neurotic, rascal......" Under the mask was a strange face, with a bloody mouth, scolding at him.

The woman was right, he was indeed insane.

He pressed his chest, and once upon a time, she would always be away for a while and then come back to him, and he didn't think much of it at all.

Didn't think about what it would be like for her to disappear before his eyes forever.

Now, he knew, his heart would ache, as if someone had gouged a piece of it.

He knew that the reason why she had let her accompany him to the market today was just to leave each other with the best memories.

He didn't want memories, he wanted her to be by his side from now on.

"Bai Feng......" he suddenly shouted.

Just now, in the shadow of the stone monument of the City God Temple, a woman looked at the shouting man with tears streaming down her face.

The crowd on the side was frightened by Zhou Yuxuan's shout, but the sound could not be transmitted far, on the street, people came and went, and the sound was noisy.

Zhou Yuxuan didn't give up, and shouted loudly, "Bai Feng." ”

At this sound, Zhou Yuxuan was angry and shouted out with all his strength.

"Brother Xuan......" A voice sounded in his voice.

Zhou Yuxuan hurriedly came back to his senses and turned to look.

Not far from him, stood a woman with a slender figure and a golden toad mask on her face.

He rushed up, grabbed her arm tightly with his big hand, and pulled it almost rudely, and the beast face on his face was also lifted by him, and under the mask, tears flowed down his face.

"Where did you just go, didn't you tell you not to wander around? It's fun that you told me to look for you everywhere, didn't it? ”

"Do You Know ......"

He gritted his teeth, stopped, and led her to hold him against the stele, almost pressing her body against the stele.

This was the first time Bai Feng had seen Zhou Yuxuan scolding himself so violently.

He looked scared and seemed angry.

Bai Feng raised his chin and looked at Zhou Yuxuan indifferently,

"I like you, I used to think, as long as you wait for me in the same place, I will find a way to come to you, I like you, even if you step on the air and break your bones, so what?

For the sake of the people I love, I will be willing even if I die. ”

In her voice, you could hear the determination of a moth to a flame.

"Just now, I wasn't playing hide and seek with you, I wanted to go, but ......"

Zhou Yuxuan lowered his head, held her under him, covered her mouth with his hand, and smiled at her, a little doting, a little helpless.

"Feng'er, you're right, I was wrong in the past.

I always thought you were a child, because I had never seen a man like me, it was fresh for a while, so I ......"

His gaze was tangled and complicated, some disagreed, some distressed, but there was also touching and sweetness in the depths of his eyes.

She really did it for him.

Such a woman, confessing her heart, she would rather be crushed to pieces, but also to be with herself, and she has been doing this.

How many times, both of them almost died at the hands of the bad guys in the shadows.

Such an impact is too huge for any man to bear.

He kept calling Bai Feng's name repeatedly, after so many years, he would never say that Bai Feng was just a temporary novelty to him.

If a woman can be so persistent, what reason does he have not to give it a try?

What's more, Bai Feng is also special to him.

Like Niannian, it's his own business.

Remembering and letting go of that past, that's his business.

Why did he put himself in that cage?

He stood up straight, took Bai Feng's hand, and smiled softly at her.

"Where are we going?" Bai Feng asked.

"Go home, go back to the capital, go to see your grandmother, she will definitely be happy."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Brother Xuan, I love you the most......"
