It wasn't until He Mian'er asked for a peace charm and was about to leave the temple gate that she realized that her golden hairpin had fallen in place.

She avoided everyone and sent Ah Xiang to look for the clearing, and waited for a long time, only to see Ah Xiang return empty-handed.

Although this golden hairpin is also valuable, compared to the current financial resources of the General's Mansion, it doesn't hurt to throw one. I'm afraid that it will fall into the hands of those who have a heart, and it will only increase the trouble.

Before leaving, He Mian'er pulled Mingxin and asked quietly: "Have you ever seen that person in the back mountain today?" "After all, he is a big man, and it is really unbelievable that he appeared in this nunnery full of women.

Mingxin nodded and said, "It seems that I heard that there is such a minister in the nunnery, and he comes here occasionally." He Mian'er wanted to inquire again, and Mingxin didn't know.

He Mian'er thought in her heart that she was afraid that this person had taken the golden hairpin, but it was impossible for her to go to the academy to confront her, so she could only admit that she was dumb and lost.

I can't imagine that he, a dignified scholar and a teacher, would do this kind of thing of stealing women's personal belongings behind everyone's back. The more He Mian'er thought about it, the more ashamed and indignant she became.

Xu Yunqing's battle on the front line did not seem to be smooth, after all, the terrain of Nabashu was precipitous, and King Chen and the local local snake had been entrenched for many years, and the two sides had been in a stalemate for many days.

Since Xu Yunqing went to the front line, he sent letters back every once in a while to report his safety. In addition to the letter to everyone, he will also write a separate letter to He Mian'er, which is nothing more than some words of relief and the like. Manly husbands, but rarely twisted.

"Although the battle has been stalemate for a few days, the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and within a decade, they will definitely be able to win and smash the Yellow Dragon." Xu Yunqing said in the letter.

He Mian'er felt a lot more relieved, and she wanted to write a letter back to him, but she hesitated and didn't know how to put it down.

In the past three years, in order to make a living, she has copied Buddhist scriptures diligently, and her handwriting is much better than before. After all, when they are in the boudoir, their parents love themselves the most, as long as they say a few more words and complain that their hands hurt when they write, their mothers are naturally distressed and cover her hands, and their fathers can only compromise: "Then don't write first." ”

In the countless cold nights that followed, when she copied Buddhist scriptures to the point that her hands were cold and unconscious, she would always think of the scene in the past, and then wanted to give herself a big ear scraper, so that her dizzy head would be sober and sober.

Thinking of this, she picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and hurriedly wrote a line of poetry: "Don't give up donations, don't go back, work hard to add food." So he sealed the letter and sent it to the front.

In fact, there is still the first half of this poem, "Sijun makes people old, and the years are too late." "The time of these days can be said to be like years, and it is too late to say that the years are too late, but it is also suitable.

It's just that, in the eyes of others, Xu Yunqing came back from the dead and returned safely, her life should be beautiful, but only she knows that the calm at the moment is just the mountain rain coming, and she is really tired.

Xu Yunqing's promise seems to have become the only reason for her to hold on now. It's just that, occasionally, in the palace that day, the scene in the bamboo forest will appear in front of her eyes, as if to remind her of something.

The battle was as stated in Xu Yunqing's letter before, but in just a few weeks, news came out in Beijing that the army led by Xu Yunqing had won a complete victory, and King Chen had also been captured alive and was on the way to Beijing, waiting for the emperor to deal with it.

The entire Xu family was shrouded in a jubilant atmosphere, which was as good as the New Year.

Ah Xiang was so happy to praise in front of He Mian'er: "Mrs. Mian, our general is really good at fighting. Even the old lady said at breakfast, intentionally or unintentionally: "People always say karma, the cycle is not happy, it seems that God really has eyes." ”

He Mian'er and Sister-in-law Jiang glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that the old lady could be regarded as a breath this time. After all, when the Xu family was in the middle of a storm, King Chen took advantage of the fire to rob and forcibly married Xie Wanqing, which was a slap in the face to the Xu family.

The old lady was already sick in bed because of the death of her two sons, and after this blow, it took half a year for her body to get better.

Sister-in-law Jiang specially came over to comfort He Mian'er and said, "Now you can finally put your mind at ease, but you will be worried about it every day." ”

He Mian'er was a little embarrassed to be ridiculed, and only lowered her head and hummed.

Sister-in-law Jiang patted He Mian'er on the shoulder and said, "Yun Qing is coming back this time, you have to hurry up, and you have to have a child to feel at ease." ”

Probably because of these words, Sister-in-law Jiang recalled some past events, and said with regret: "In the past, my father and mother also persuaded me to marry this general's family, looking at the scenery, but there is always the possibility of being a widow. Who would have thought that your eldest brother would be short-lived, thanks to Shaodong. ”

He Mian'er knew that Xu Yunchang and Sister-in-law Jiang had a very good relationship, which must have evoked her sad past.

He could only comfort: "Yes, thanks to Shaodong, but you have such a good relationship with your eldest brother and wife, which is also enviable." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and smiled reluctantly: "Look, I mentioned this unhappy thing again." I'm not afraid of your jokes, when your eldest brother was still alive, he could be said to be obedient to me. ”

He Mian'er was very curious about some of the things that the two interacted, so she motioned with her eyes to continue.

Sister-in-law Jiang told the story, and her cheeks, which were still teardropping just now, immediately rejoiced. "Although your eldest brother was born in martial arts, his literary talent is not inferior, and he used to be beautiful in this capital."

"And your eldest brother has learned a good water nature, and he can swim two times in one breath from the cherry blossom river. During the dragon boat race, one person went into the water and could catch five or six ducks, which caused the little girl on the shore to scream again and again. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang was intoxicated with her memory, and her face still had a bit of girlish shyness. He Mian'er only felt envious when she heard it, and it seemed that she had heard of Xu Yunchang's name in the past, but at that time she was still young, and the war soon arose, Xu Yunchang went to the army, but she did not have the opportunity to meet this eldest sister-in-law, who spoke Chinese and was good at water.

He Mian'er vaguely felt that there was a thought flashing in her heart, which seemed to be a very important thing, but she couldn't grasp the clue, so she could only give up.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Sister-in-law Jiang saw that He Mian'er seemed to be a little sleepy, so she asked He Mian'er to rest well, and she went back first to wait for Shaodong to come home from school.

He Mian'er has been very sleepy recently, so she closed her eyes and rested for a while, only to hear the sound of wind chimes blowing in her ears, and unconsciously, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was picked up from the river when she was eight years old.

She looked at the man in front of her, tall and kind, with a similar appearance to Xu Yunqing, but it made her feel a little strange. The man smiled at her and said, "Okay, little girl, when you grow up." ”

It seems that this person looks much kinder than Xu Yunqing, and He Mian'er only feels that there is an answer coming out.
