Because it was close to Chinese New Year's Eve, the woman's funeral was not carried out in a big way, and after a simple burial, she was buried on the outskirts of the city.

Wei Chi didn't shed tears, calmly arranged the simple funeral, calmly helped his aunt's coffin into the ground, and showed tenacity and standing up to the sky.

It's just that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Nan Baoyi didn't see Wei Chi.

She went to his aunt's dormitory.

Pushing open the door, the room was dim, and the bitter smell of medicine in the past dissipated a lot.

Wei Chi sat at the foot of the bed, staring at the thick pile of insoles on the bed in a daze.

She walked over: "Wei Chi? ”

The young man pulled his lips and pointed to the insole: "In the last few days of her life, she has been sewing this for me, so many insoles, I can't finish wearing them until I die, right?" ”

Nan Baoyi was silent.

"She is an embroidery girl, she has no ability to compete for favor, and she is always bullied in the house. I don't want her to bow down and be small, I want to make meritorious deeds so that people can be impressed by her, and also make her mother and son more expensive. So I went north to Chang'an, trying to steal the military deployment map of the north. But I don't know that my father's sweetheart is Queen Shen, and even if I get the defense map, I can't compete for my aunt's favor. ”

is obviously an eight-foot man, but his words have the gentleness of Jiangnan.

Nan Baoyi poured a cup of hot tea and put it in his hand.

Wei Chi raised his hand to cover his eyes: "After I came back from Chang'an, my aunt became seriously ill day by day, and she could only rely on ginseng soup to survive every day. I waited in the room, watching her emaciate and wither, like a rotting lilac.

"I gradually came less and less, until finally I was reluctant to set foot in her house again. As long as I can't see her, I think she may be healing, and maybe the next time I come, she will sit under the eaves with a ruddy face basking in the sun, smiling and telling me who has a new grandson.

"Sister Baoyi, it's Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, the house is so lively, and there are lights everywhere...... But my aunt died at the end of the old year, and because she was a concubine, I couldn't even light a white light for her......"

His voice lowered, and quietly turned into a choked voice.

Nan Baoyi stretched out his hand and silently put it on his shoulder.

Wei Chi grabbed her hand and hugged her suddenly.

He hugged it so tightly, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood.

He lay on her shoulder, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and suddenly cried heartbreakingly at this moment: "Sister Baoyi...... I miss my aunt......"

Nan Baoyi wiped his reddened eyes and raised his head wordlessly.

It turns out that when a loved one has just passed away, it is not the most painful time for people.

The days and nights after his death, the memories that suddenly poured out when he saw things and thought about people, and the most inadvertent ones, were the most heart-wrenching, life was worse than death, dense and continuous.

……

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Jinling finally cleared, the long-lost sun fell on the garden grass and trees, and the maids happily took out the quilt to dry.

Nan Baoyi sat under the window and played chess with Wei Chi.

She can see that Wei Chi is a concubine, and his status in the mansion is far inferior to the two sisters-in-law under Wei Chi Changgong's knees, and Jiang Zuo's high-ranking official family came to visit, and he didn't take care of him at all, so even if it was a busy New Year, he was still free.

She took a chess move: "Speaking of which, did the letter I ask you send last time to be delivered to the second brother?" ”

Wei Chi pinched the warm jade chess piece, and his fingertips paused.

The letter was later burned by him.

He only has Sister Baoyi, and he doesn't want Sister Baoyi to be with Xiao Daoyan.

He pretended to be nothing: "That person went to Jiangbei, but there was no news back." I estimate that Dayong's side checked strictly, and the letter may not have been delivered to Xiao Daoyan. Or...... He received the letter, but was reluctant to reply. ”

Nan Baoyi pinched a chess piece.

She raised her eyes to look at Wei Chi, and the young man was also staring at her, her slightly prickly peach blossom eyes were full of affection, like a small fish swimming lightly, a little more gentle than the spring water in March.

At this moment, Nan Baoyi understood everything.

She put the pieces back in the basket and picked up the unfinished game without saying a word.

Wei Chi was stunned, and hurriedly held her hand picking up the chess pieces: "Sister Baoyi——"

"Let go!"

Nan Baoyi broke away from him, and Danfeng's eyes seemed to be burning with flames: "You withheld my letter without permission, right?" Wei Chi, I believe in you, so I will give you the letter. You keep saying to help me, but in private you act mean, you say you want to be friends with me, what kind of friend is this?! ”

The girl cares about the child in her belly, and usually never gets angry and loses her temper.

At this moment, she had a cold face, and she got up and was about to go out.

Wei Chi's face was pale, and he hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her: "I was wrong, it was because I was jealous of him that I refused to give him the letter, sister, don't be angry-"

Nan Baoyi ignored him and still had to leave.

Wei Chi was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed her thin shoulders and pushed her under the eaves.

Handsome and deep eyebrows, dyed with panic, he licked his dry lips, and tried to make up for it: "I, I arranged for you to meet, can it be done?" ”

Meet......

Nan Baoyi raised his head hesitantly: "Really? ”

"Seriously!" Wei Chi nodded seriously, "In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, and then there will be a lantern festival in Jinling City, and all the people will go out to enjoy it." Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, I will arrange a place for you to meet......"

Nan Baoyi knew that there was an army guarding the riverbank.

She wanted to escape to Jiangbei, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But the second brother has good martial arts, and it is not difficult for him to come to Jinling secretly.

The girl stroked her stomach, and Danfeng's eyes flashed with a sparkling light.

Seeing her like this, Wei Chi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a piece of green plum candy from his wide sleeve, took her hand and put it in his palm: "I heard that pregnant people like to eat sour, this kind of sugar is very sour, can my sister taste it?" If you like it, I'll buy a big bag tomorrow. ”

The sugar cubes are crystal clear, and a green plum is wrapped in the snow-white icing.

Nan Baoyi looked at it for a moment and whispered, "Wei Chi, I don't love you." In my life, I can't fall in love with another Lang Jun again. ”

The green plum candy exudes a sweet and slightly sour sweet fragrance, like a small green orange with a beige flower pedicle on the branch, and like an unripe crush.

Wei Chi lowered his head: "I know...... When I was in Chang'an, I knew it. ”

Nan Baoyi took two steps back, politely bowed to him, and left directly.

It's a sunny day.

Because she would be able to see her second brother in a few days, Nan Baoyi was in a good mood, and Empress Shen didn't have the energy to take care of her for the time being, so she simply wandered around the Wei Chi Mansion.

The garden is covered with ice and snow, and a few plum trees are blooming.

The young Jiangzuo junjie gathered in the waterside pavilion, chatting, writing, feasting, and playing.

Yu Chishan was also among them, but she couldn't help but look in the southeast direction frequently.

Nan Baoyi looked along her line of sight, there was a stone boat in the southeast that was covered by green pines and cypresses, and you could faintly see Lang Jun in white clothes and snow, sitting in it like a fairy, with black ribbons tied at the ends of his hair, and his bony fingers caressing the strings, attracting the white cranes on the lake.

Directly opposite him, kneeling sat an unkempt girl, feasting on a table full of delicacies, like the reincarnation of an evil spirit.

Nan Baoyi squinted and looked at it for a long time, incredulous: "Wei Chuchu? ”
