As soon as I got close to the lake, I saw that it was crowded with people, and I secretly screamed in my heart, could it be that she was embarrassed...... I hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, rushed to the shore, took a quick look, and couldn't help but gasp. I saw a woman floating and sinking in the lake, and Mrs. Ming and the other ladies by the lake just cried, oh no, it must be Mingyan! Most of the people gathered here to play are women, no wonder no one dares to save people, I can't think so much, just about to go into the water to save people, suddenly a slender figure rushed through the crowd like lightning, jumped into the lake, struggled to grab the woman in the pool, and dragged her to the shore. All I could see was what it looked like a man, a young man.

When he climbed ashore soaked and took a look at me, I couldn't help but be surprised that this man was actually Li Yue. I saw him desperately hugging Ming Yan and calling her name anxiously, "Ah Yan, Ah Yan, don't be fine, don't be fine." He said these two sentences over and over again, patting Ming Yan's back, his expression a little out of control. I saw Mingyan's eyelids move slightly, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it should be fine. Sure enough, she slowly opened her eyes and spat out a few mouthfuls of water with a "wow". Li Yue was overjoyed, hugged her tightly in his arms again, and muttered, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're okay......"

The crowd of onlookers began to whisper a little, and Mrs. Ming's face seemed to be a little strange, and she was about to say something. I had already rushed over, pulled Ming Yan without a trace, separated the two of them with myself, and asked Ming Yan eagerly, "Miss, are you okay?" How are you? Ming Yan didn't seem to fully react yet, and looked at me blankly.

"I'm going to thank Mr. Li today." Mrs. Ming gave a gift.

"Madam, Mr. Li's move is really a benevolent and righteous act, General Li entrusted him to take care of Miss Ming, they are really brothers, and today's righteous act of saving his sister-in-law will definitely become a good story." I quickly interjected. Mrs. Ming's face softened slightly, nodded at me slightly, and said to Ming Yan: "Ah Yan, I don't want to thank you for your future uncle." ”

"No need," Li Yue's expression was strange, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I looked at him, but my heart was full of doubts, how could he be here, how could he appear in such a timely manner, could he have been following Mingyan all along?

Mingyan fell ill after returning home, and the body of the ancient aristocratic woman was really delicate. During this period, Li Yue suddenly came frequently, and every time he blamed himself for not taking good care of his sister-in-law.

"Miss, go out and walk in the garden, it's not good to sleep in bed all the time." After getting along for a while, my relationship with Mingyan has been good. Sometimes she doesn't care if she talks a little casually.

"To the garden?"

"Yes, looking at the autumn leaves and chrysanthemums will make you feel better."

"Hmm." She nodded, got out of bed, put on a green coat, and I carried her slowly into the garden. In early autumn, the maple leaves are red, the chrysanthemums are blooming, and the leaves on the ground are falling one after another, like a yellow brocade carpet, walking on it creaks and creaks, which is not interesting. There was a faint fragrance everywhere in the garden. I helped her sit down in the pavilion, sat for a while and said, "Why don't I make you a pot of tea, you can enjoy the scenery while drinking, wouldn't it be more elegant." ”

She smiled and nodded.

When I finished the tea and walked to the garden with the snacks, I suddenly found a person standing quietly behind a piece of red maple, it was Li Yue. He was staring intently ahead, staring at the woman in the pavilion without blinking, with a complex expression on his face and an unconcealed admiration in his eyes.

My heart suddenly became a little uneasy, since the last time I fell into the water, Li Yue seems to have become a little strange, could it be that the last incident was like a catalyst that stimulated the hidden emotions in Li Yue's heart?

Thinking of this, I can't help but be surprised, it seems that I need to pay more attention these days, maybe that incident will really happen......

Under my constant vigilance, I finally passed half a month peacefully, and Mingyan's illness was almost better. On this day, Li Yue came to Mingfu again and said something that made Mingyan very happy, the Shangdang rebels had been annihilated, and Li Xin would soon return triumphantly, if nothing else, he would be able to reach Xianyang in ten days.

Not only was Mingyan happy, but I was also a little relieved, and in ten days the task was completed, and I would be able to go back. But if, according to Abaoji, so many things will happen in just ten days?

"Brother Yue, will I also go to the outside of the city to greet Brother Xin at that time?" She said with a smile.

Li Yue nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”

"Brother Yue, when I become close to Brother Xin, can I still call you Brother Yue?" She asked suddenly.

Li Yue's face changed slightly, a trace of incomprehension flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Of course you can." ”

He paused, and then said, "I'm going to Yongcheng tomorrow, maybe I'll come back in a few days." ”

"Well, then you should be careful on the road." Ming Yan stood up as she spoke, and suddenly her body shook, and Li Yue quickly grabbed her shoulder, "It's okay, Ah Yan." Ming Yan shook her head, Li Yue's hand reluctantly left her shoulder, suddenly slid down, and grabbed her hand at once.

Ming Yan looked at him in amazement, unable to react for a while.

"Ah Yan, what do you like about my eldest brother?" He asked suddenly.

"I," she seemed flustered, trying to pull her hand out.

"Miss, it's time for you to go back to your room," I saw that the form was not good, and I hurried over to interrupt it. When Li Yue saw me coming, he immediately let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Ah Yan." ”

Ming Yan looked at him, and suddenly said word by word: "I like your eldest brother, I like everything, I like everything." ”

Li Yue's face suddenly became ugly, and he forced a smile and said, "That's good, that's good, I'm leaving." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Li Yue is going to Yongcheng, so he will not be in Xianyang for the time being, and I am a little relieved in my heart. This time bomb, the farther away from Mingyan, the better.

It seems that I haven't seen Xiaozheng for a long time, and I don't know how he is, so I won't be really angry, right? If I had the chance, I'd rather say goodbye to him, after all, he's the first person I've ever met here, so he's barely a friend.

"Xiao Yin, are you okay? Are you ready to go? Zhilan suddenly appeared in front of me like a ghost.

"Alright, alright." I said as I straightened my dress. Sister-in-law Lin just found us and said that she wanted us to go out of the house to make a return gift for Ming Yan. According to the customs of the Qin State, after a few days, when Li Xin returns, the Li family will send someone to the Ming family with a dowry to collect the levy, and at that time, the female family needs to return the gift. The return gift is generally tea, fruit, cypress, ginger, tea frying pile, loose cake, and most importantly, a new pair of shoes, symbolizing the white-headed harmonious old.

I, who have never seen the marriage of real ancients, are naturally quite interested in all this. As soon as Sister-in-law Lin said, I thought about it, anyway, Li Yue was not in Xianyang, and besides, my Bird Spirit had always been by Mingyan's side, so I didn't make an excuse to refuse.

The urban layout of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is standardized and rigorous, the urban functions are relatively complete, and the regional division is clear. It is divided into three parts: the north is the palace office area, the south is the industrial and commercial residential area, and the northwest is the mausoleum area. Taib House is located right between the north and the south, so from a modern point of view, it is still very convenient to buy things.

It's a pity that I've been here for so long, and I haven't had a chance to take a good look at the famous Xianyang Palace, let alone the famous First Emperor.

Sister-in-law Lin's vision is really picky, and she has seen more than a dozen stores just to buy a new pair of shoes. I couldn't help but start to get depressed, and when I looked at Zhilan, there was a faint hint of impatience on her face. While Sister-in-law Lin was carefully selecting and inquiring in the inner hall, I pulled Zhilan to the door of the store. There are some vendors selling rouge, jade, hairpins and other small toys. Zhilan immediately picked up a box of pale red rouge and looked at it with great interest, and I also picked up a jade pendant carved into the shape of a pixiu and looked at it. At first glance, it looks like a fake, but the meticulous carving process is also surprising.

"I bought it." Zhilan had already taken out the coin there, couldn't wait to open it, and asked, "Sister Yin, this color is beautiful, isn't it?" I looked at her, and suddenly had an evil thought, and said, "Beautiful, but our hometown has a special trick, rubbing it on the eyelids, the eyes will be more divine, more beautiful." ”

"Really?" She was skeptical.

"Really, the last time you saw the gray I mixed with the stone daisy and pearl powder, the thrush didn't look much better." Since the last time I brought out that natural gray, including Mingyan, I don't need black anymore, but also, at that time, there were no copper dais, green finch daisies and snail dais.

Especially after I taught all the fruit flour masks I used to make, they liked to listen to my advice whenever they were applying makeup.

"But it's red." She was still a little hesitant.

"It's different when you have this color on your eyelids."

"Okay." She closed her eyes like a lamb to the slaughter. I couldn't help laughing, dipped my finger in a little rouge and gently rubbed it on her eyelids, slowly evening it out, I wonder if ancient women could accept this kind of eyeshadow?

"That's it!" She slowly opened her eyes, looked nervous, and hurriedly borrowed the vendor's bronze mirror to look at it, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said blankly: "Is it really good-looking?" "Alas, the next time you go on a mission, you must bring a makeup mirror, this ancient mirror is really ...... I nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, look back and smile, I promise to make a large number of men obediently bow down under your pomegranate skirt, haha!" ”

Seeing her blush suddenly, I hurriedly braked, and oh no, I got carried away for a moment, forgetting that this was 2,000 years ago.

Suddenly there was a chuckle beside him, this laughter is so familiar, could it be...... God, it's not like that every coincidence. I hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, it was him again!

"Xiaozheng? Why are you here? I asked in surprise, he always seemed to be dressed in black, and he always seemed to be the black horse that accompanied him, and every time he sneaked out, he could bump into me, strange!

There was a faint smile in his eyes, and I glanced at Zhilan, her face flushed.

"Get on the horse." He looked at me and suddenly said two words.

Here it is again, this unpleasant tone of command.

"I'm going back to the house soon, why don't you wait......" Before I could finish speaking, my body was light, and he had already carried him on the horse like a chicken.

"Ahh Zhilan exclaimed, and Sister-in-law Lin, who came out when she heard the sound, was also shocked, and said, "Let her go quickly, otherwise I will report to the official." ”

"No, no, I'll be right back, I'm ...... Recognize him. I quickly waved my hand. Although Xiaozheng has a big temper, he is not a bad person, and he is not enough to call the police.

He snorted softly, raised his horsewhip, and immediately rode away, leaving only Sister-in-law Lin and Zhilan who were still there in a daze.

"Hey, I said can you please stop being so domineering." When the horse had stopped outside the city, I jumped off my horse and sat down on a rock.

"What did you say just now, are you ashamed?" He glanced at me as he tied his horse.

"What's so embarrassing, a woman is a person who pleases herself, she dresses up beautifully, so that other men like her, what's wrong." I have a lot of words.

He shook his head and said, "As for a large piece?" ”

"It's good to have a large piece, so that you can choose a satisfactory one."

"Pick? A woman doesn't seem to have that right. ”

"That's right, but you men here don't seem to have a choice, aren't they all the words of the matchmaker and the orders of your parents? Oh, except for Yingzheng, he is a king, you can pick at will. It's not just him, but also a man with a bit of status. I shrugged.

He stared at me, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Yingzheng, Yingzheng, you call it quite smoothly." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot again, King."

"No sincerity." He turned his head sideways, stared into the distance and said, "Even if it's Yingzheng, he doesn't have this right." ”

"Why do you call him by his name?"

"You're the only one here anyway." He smiled slightly, and said, "But for him, the great cause of the Qin State is the most important. As for women......"

"It's just a tool to warm the bed and pass on the lineage." I quickly picked up on him.

He was slightly surprised, and his face sank and said, "You are a woman, why are you always so undignified when you speak." ”

"Hey, am I a woman, didn't someone call me a stone?" I couldn't help but laugh.

His face suddenly softened, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing him smile, I relaxed even more, and said: "But I still sympathize with those emperors who are high, even if there are three thousand beauties, it is rare to have a true person, for ordinary people, it is even more difficult for emperors." ”

He didn't speak, just looked at me, and the look in his eyes was indistinguishable.

"By the way, how is your family, what about that uncle?" I suddenly remembered it again.

He looked thoughtfully at his feet and said, "Next year I will go to Yongcheng to perform the crown salute, and now that I am growing in my wings, I am also deploying around me, once the time is ripe, I will eradicate him." He raised his head again and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sneak out in the future, but when I've settled everything, I'll go to Taibu Mansion to pick you up." ”

"Pick me up?" I almost jumped in shock.

"No, no," I shook my head.

His face changed slightly, and he said, "Do you want to stay in Taibu Mansion for the rest of your life?" “

"Of course not."

"In that case......

"Actually, I have something I want to tell you, I'm going back to my hometown in a while, so I'll say goodbye to you by the way today." I quickly interrupted him.

"What!" A small opening seemed to be ripped open in his calm eyes, and he said, "Back to my hometown, why?" ”

"I'm not from here, of course I'm going back." I'm just here to complete the mission, I'm just a passer-by here, and of course I'll go back when the mission is done. I don't want to stay here, the terrible consequences are terrifying just to think about.

"Can't you stay anyway?"

"I can't."

A hint of loneliness flashed on his face, and I think that loneliness was because no one would be able to talk nonsense to him like this in the future. He was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then let it be." ”

I stood up, dusted off my body, and a faint parting melancholy welled up in my heart. I was about to say something, suddenly I heard a sound of wings fluttering, my heart sank, hurriedly raised my eyes, sure enough, the spirit flew straight into my hand, I calmed down, put my index finger and middle finger on the top of its head and communicated with it, clearly sensed a message that made me thunder, Li Yue took away Mingyan!

I was shocked and said, "Do you know where he went?" The Sparrow nodded. I didn't care about Xiao Zheng's surprise, and shouted at him: "Quick, send me into the city!" ”

"Where to go?" He said as he untied the horse's reins.

"Follow this sparrow!" I yelled, damn it, why am I so careless, why didn't Li Yue go to Yongcheng, he actually took Mingyan away, this is too bold! You know, you should always be by Mingyan's side, God, you must let me arrive in time, and don't let the tragedy happen......
