The spring of Xinjiang came quietly, and the fields that had slept for a winter gradually woke up under the blowing of the spring breeze. The sharp thin buds of the green grass broke through the dry stems and poked out their heads, and the earth, which was still withered and yellow half a month ago, has now added a layer of new green. The horse's hooves gently stepped on the bud of the newborn grass, and a few frightened frogs sprang out of the grass and disappeared after a few jumps. The four of them rode horses and walked silently, Bo Huan saw that Wu Feng had been blushing and didn't dare to speak, and he grabbed a lark and teased it in his hand without opening his mouth, Wu Feng and I walked in the center, and our eyes occasionally met but I didn't know what to say.

"General, what do you like to drink?" Bo Huan opened her mouth to break the awkward silence between the four.

Wu Feng pondered for a moment and smiled: "I don't like to drink. ”

"But how can Ah Shi say that the general likes to drink and is never picky?"

Wu Feng turned his head to look at me and said softly: "I used to drink only one kind of wine, but now I can't drink it, so I won't drink it." ”

I mourned, turned my face away from Wu Feng's gaze, and only lowered my head to stroke the mane of the horse under me.

Bo Huan smiled heartily when he heard this: "Just say what kind of wine the general likes to drink, I'll just go back and ask someone to brew it, how can I not drink it!" A few days ago, the fourth brother bought a few slaves from the state of Chu who could brew a hundred wines. When the time comes, I will also ask him to come and take them to Yongcheng together. ”

"Sister, since General Wu doesn't like to drink, why do you want to force it." Shameless smiled and let go of his left hand, and the brown-feathered and red-beaked lark fluttered twice in his hand and swooped into the sky. "But General Wu knows that wine is actually used for other purposes besides drinking it in the stomach?" Wuxian clapped his hands and turned his head to look at Wu Feng.

"I want to hear about it." Wu Feng said.

"A few days ago, Ah Shi gave me a jar of medicinal wine, not for drinking, but for wiping. If you hurt your hand tendons while practicing swords, you can rub it for a few days. It's a pity that she only brewed one jar, and I will mix some and let the general bring it back. ”

I glared back at Wuxian. Shirtless grinned half-squinted, like a cunning fox.

I turned my head to look at Wu Feng at this time, Wu Feng smiled and looked gentle, but his brows were slightly frowned, and his lips were too tight. That's what he used to be like when he was sad.

"The herbs are all ready-made, I'll go back tonight and brew another jar, and I'll have someone deliver it to the pavilion tomorrow." The general brought it back to the mansion and put it in the cellar for three months. If it is a rainy day, the old wounds on the body hurt, you can also take it out and wipe it. ”

"Hmm." Wu Feng didn't look at me, only lowered his head and hummed softly, then whipped his whip, rode his horse, and rushed out like an arrow.

"General, wait for me!" Bo Huan clamped his legs and hurriedly followed.

"The goddess of winemaking, why don't you chase it?" Shirtless kicked the horse's belly and paced to me.

"You did it on purpose. You asked me to come out to run the horse was planned in advance, and you expected that Bo Huan would pull the general out! Looking at the corners of Zhao Wuxian's slightly curled mouth, I suddenly felt like I was being tricked.

"He'll be gone the day after tomorrow, wouldn't it be good for me to let you meet him?"

"Then why did you mention the matter of medicinal wine?"

"Then why did he mention that wine! He didn't drink just one kind of wine, he drank only one person's wine! That person is not his now, it's mine! Wuxian pursed his lips, his face flushed, and several thin folds wrinkled on the bridge of his nose. It was the first time I saw him angry like a child.

"I'm not yours." I replied.

He was stunned, then suddenly jumped up from his horse and lunged at me. I didn't have time to let out an exclamation, but he took me in my arms and rolled on the grass several times.

"You say it again?" He held my head in one hand and crushed me under me with the other.

"I'm not yours." I glared at him and said word by word.

He looked down and pecked me on the mouth, "Say it again." ”

"Zhao Wuxian—"

"The answer is no, say it again." He chuckled and kissed me on the forehead again.

"You ......," I was ashamed and annoyed, and pushed him desperately, and he looked at my face with half-squinted eyes, and laughed, "Where should I kiss this time?" ”

"Don't make a fuss! It's yours, it's yours, okay! I reached for his mouth, but he grabbed his wrist.

"Well, that's right, there's a reward." He leaned over and gently imprinted a kiss on my eye, and the man's breath brushed my eyes like a feather with a gentle touch. "Ah Shi, I'm just jealous, jealous that he arrived so many years earlier than me." He rested his head gently against my neck, and there was a deep sense of frustration in his voice.

I sighed in my heart and said quietly: "Crazy, then you will change with him, you will come early, and he will be late......"

"No, I don't! Now, you're mine. ”

We lay quietly on the grass, with a white cloud drifting through the sky from time to time, and the sun's rays were bright and dark. In the changing light and shadow, I relaxed and closed my eyes. The murmur of the larks came from the wind, and from the wind came the sound of our heartbeats one after another.

"What are you doing here?" Bo Ying's voice suddenly drilled into my ears, and I hurriedly reached out and pushed Wuxian.

Wuxian sighed and sat up: "Sister, why are you back?" ”

"Hahahaha, it's Sister A's wrong. General, let's hurry up! ”

I looked up, and what broke into my eyes was Wu Feng's miserable white face. Bo Ying tugged at his sleeve, but he didn't react, just stood in place in a daze.

"Get up!" Wuxian reached out and pulled me up, "Sister, we should go back too." After today's feeding, the fourth and sixth brothers should arrive, and my father will be blamed if he can't see the two of us at that time. ”

"Oops, how did I forget this! The two of them rushed back to Xinjiang in such a hurry, there must be something important to discuss. ”

"Noble girl, let's go, Wu will welcome your noble daughter at the border in three months." Wu Feng raised his hand and saluted.

"This ......" Bo Huan looked at me, a little hesitant.

"Let's go, I can't let my father wait. Ah Shi, you can send the general for us! Wuxian pinched my hand, dragged Bo Ying onto the horse, turned around and saluted Wu Feng, also sat on the horse, and galloped away.

At this time, the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"General......

"Pediatric ......"

The two spoke in unison.

"What does the general want to say?" I walked slowly forward with my head bowed and the reins of my horse.

"You and Zhao Wuxian?" He asked with some hesitation.

"Well, he treats me very well." I looked up and smiled back.

"Really? That's fine. ”

Then there was silence.

"I heard that Uncle Qin is already preparing to make Gongzi Li the crown prince?"

"Well, King Zhou has already sent someone to send the canonization documents, and the sacrificial gifts have also been arranged. Two months later, Gongzi was the crown prince of Qin. ”

"It's good, this spring, Yongcheng is going to have a good time." I had a lot to say before I saw him, but I didn't know where to start when I was so close to him.

"Xiao'er, will you return to Qin with me?" Wu Feng threw out a thunderbolt that instantly shocked me.

"General?" I stopped and looked at him in a daze.

"If you're worried about Bo Huan, I'll talk to her." Wu Feng raised his voice suddenly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"No, if I return to Qin with you, how can you explain to Gongzili? How to explain to Zhao? General, we can't go back for a long time. ”

Wu Feng realized that he was out of shape, and immediately restrained his expression: "I know, I naturally know." ”

After that, there was silence again.

"Xiao'er, is this the way this is all in this life?"

"Well, that's it. The noble lady treats you very affectionately, you will live well, and I will live well. ”

"You, I, do we have a day to meet?"

I looked at the white hair between Wu Feng's sideburns, and tears blurred my vision in an instant. Time has changed our faces, dissipated our vows, and said goodbye to him as if it were to say goodbye to the magnificent and beautiful dreams of my girlhood. As I grow up day by day, when I go farther and farther, I can only leave a world in my heart and freeze an old dream. In the dream, a man walked in the white snow with his child in his arms, and this time the road ahead of them had no end......

I smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and gently snuggled myself into his arms: "General, cherish." ”

"A ......"

I broke free of his arms as fast as I could, and rolled over on the horse's back.

There is no turning back, no turning back.

I let out a loud shout and galloped away.

On the day Wu Feng left Xinjiang, I didn't go outside the city to see him off.

After Si'er knew about Wu Feng's wedding date, he kept looking at me with a sympathetic eye. I was actually relieved in my heart, but her comforting words, intentionally or unintentionally, made me feel anxious. So, I simply escaped from the small courtyard and hid in the Taishi Mansion.

In the past few days, Shi Mo has been obsessed with a kind of fragrant harvest from the land of Bashu (1). Early in the morning, he sent people to fetch mountain spring water outside the city and returned to his home. In the afternoon, he took a small stove and sat in the courtyard with a handful of charcoal to cook and drink.

This Bashu fragrance is quite different from the bitter tea I usually see in the field, its dried leaves are small, wrinkled, only the length and width of a knuckle, and it will crumble when pinched. I thought that this herb was to be boiled directly in water with millet and millet, and then it could be mixed and eaten together. Unexpectedly, Shi Mo seized the opportunity to mock him.

"Zi Di, such a small box of Fangtu is worth fifty gold, and I am the only one in Xinjiang City." Shi Mo twisted himself to be proud.

"Where did Master get such a precious thing? Wasn't it sent by the witches of Bashu, Tuo Hongyan? I laughed and threw a piece of charcoal into the stove and puffed out my mouth to blow the fire on.

"It was sent by Zhao Jiting, the fourth son of the Zhao family, and it was said that it was the first box of fangtu made by the witches of Shu this spring, and a new way to drink it was created."

"The land of Bashu is more than thousands of miles away from the Jin Kingdom, why did the four sons of the Zhao family bother so much to give such a generous gift to their master? It also happened to be delivered to your heart. ”

"I expected that your girl would ask, so I won't tell you first, and I'll talk about it after drinking my bowl of Fangdi."
