He Mian'er looked at the low grave in front of her, and an indescribable sadness swelled up in her heart for a while. To be honest, in the first two years, she was reluctant to leave, probably because there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that he would be able to come back one day.

She didn't want that one day, when he came back, he found that his home was already in ruins, and she wanted to keep it for him. she

Whether he admits it or not, in her heart, she thinks that the two are husband and wife.

It's not that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the catastrophe comes, but they are willing to be winged birds in heaven and even branches on the ground.

Unfortunately, all this is nothing more than her wishful thinking.

This year, she gradually recognized the reality. The reality is that Xu Yunqing is indeed dead, and the handsome son in her heart has long been buried in Mobei, and there are no bones.

She didn't choose to leave the Xu family, but it was just because she was at a loss.

She didn't dare to accept her cousin's proposal easily, also because she hadn't figured out what path she would take in the future.

Xu Yunqing left, and it took her three years to admit this fact.

"Xu Yunqing, may you not meet me again in the next life. This last glass of wine, I salute you! He Mian'er smiled bitterly and threw it to the ground in a chic manner.

In my heart, I silently said, "May I also not meet you in the next life." ”

The rolling yellow sand buried Xu Yunqing, who was once peerless.

She swept the last glass of wine away in the wind to pay tribute to the personable young man.

Let the past go with the wind.

……

The road down the mountain was not smooth.

He Mian'er was blocked by a girl's house.

"Hey, what about you, why didn't you see Miss Ben going this way? Deliberately getting in my way, right? An arrogant and arrogant voice sounded, but it sounded a little familiar.

He Mian'er silently pulled Shaodong to the side, but the girl was unrelenting.

This appearance is very similar to He Mian'er at the beginning.

He Mian'er knew that the other party was afraid that he was deliberately looking for fault. She was arrogant and domineering in the past, offending countless people, and Xue Lingyan, the second lady of the Qing family of Dali Temple, was humiliated by her in public and couldn't get off the stage.

"Yo, who was I at the time, it turned out to be the daughter of the imperial historian, why did I go down the mountain alone with a child?" Xue Lingyan said deliberately in a cohesive tone.

Then he patted his forehead with his hand and said: "Look at my memory, this is the concubine of the second son of the Xu family, why, Xu Yunqing has been dead for so long, which wild man did you have a mongrel with?" ”

Before He Mian'er could react, Shaodong next to him crashed out and just hit Xue Lingsheng's stomach. "You are not allowed to insult my aunt!" Xu Shaodong said angrily.

Xue Lingyan never thought that she was hurt by a wild child, so she raised her hand immediately and wanted to slap him hard.

He Mian'er was anxious to pull Shaodong back, but it was too late.

Just when she thought that Shaodong had been slapped in the face, Xue Lingyan's raised hand was tightly grasped.

Shaodong also took the opportunity to sneak back to He Mian'er.

"Dali Temple's family, it's really good upbringing! actually spoke disrespectfully in public, and wanted to beat children. A woman's voice came.

He Mian'er raised her head and looked at each other, it was an old man.

That Xue Lingyan was angry, but when she looked back at the person, she suddenly wilted, and she didn't dare to talk back.

"Thank you." He Mian'er leaned over to thank him, but the man turned around and left.

……

"Auntie, who is the woman who broke the siege for us just now?" On the way down the mountain, Shaodong took the initiative to ask.

"It's a former friend of my aunt." He Mian'er explained simply, and then she was no longer willing to speak.

The person just now, not only was her friend, who was her best friend in the boudoir - Luo Shuisheng, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, and later married into the British Hou Mansion.

At that time, the private words of the boudoir that were inconvenient to tell her parents were all told to her.

Later, because she insisted on being a concubine, Luo Shuisheng hated her for not being angry, so he ignored her.

Even when she got married, she didn't show up.

Now that I think about it, in order to marry Xu Yunqing, she betrayed her relatives and left, and in the end she just lived with a tablet.

Life now is really retribution.

After going down the mountain, He Mian'er did not go home immediately. She needs to go to the silk village and tell the shopkeeper that the galloping picture of ten thousand horses will be handed over a few days later.

"Shaodong, you stand here obediently, take care of the clothes, and the aunt will come out soon." Because she had just sat on the ground and was stained with a lot of mud when she came down the mountain, He Mian'er took off her coat and entrusted it to Shaodong.

She turned around and entered the gate of the silk village by herself, although Shaodong was only five years old, he was extremely reassuring.

When he came out after finishing his errands, the position he was familiar with just now was gone, but Shaodong's figure was gone. He Mian'er's heart sank, and she began to look around, but for some reason, the crowd gathered together.

"Shaodong, Shaodong, where are you?" He Mian'er simply looked around, but she didn't see Shaodong, and suddenly panicked and shouted loudly.

If Shaodong loses it, I'm afraid she doesn't want to live herself.

At this time, I saw a person in the gathered crowd roaring away on horseback, as if he was heading in the direction of the palace.

"Auntie, I'm here." Shaodong didn't know where to get out of the crowd.

"Shaodong, where have you been? Didn't my aunt tell you, you have to stand where you are. He Mian'er was really angry this time, she rarely treated Shaodong so harshly.

"I'm sorry, auntie, I was wrong, I won't be like this in the future." Shaodong stood obediently in place, bowing his head and admitting his mistake.

The five-year-old child, although he was wearing a coat, was still thin and looked a little pitiful.

He Mian'er immediately relented, "Shaodong, don't allow this in the future." With that, she took Shaodong's soft little hand and walked home.

"What did you just see? Tell your aunt about it. He Mian'er chattered.

"It seems that some general has returned," Shaodong also listened very really, just paraphrasing other people's words.

"Well, I'm afraid that the general of the frontier was recruited back by the emperor. After Shaodong, he will also be a general. He Mian'er didn't take it seriously, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.

When I got home, it was not yet noon, He Mian'er was busy checking Shaodong's homework, and seemed to hear the noise of people outside.

But since Xu Yunqing passed away and their family of four moved here, the Xu family has lived in a simple place.

The reason for this is that someone will take the opportunity to retaliate.

It stands to reason that Xu Yunqing died on the battlefield, leaving a room of orphans.

In any case, the emperor should be more sympathetic to the Xu family, but unexpectedly, the emperor actually took back all the property of the Xu family, leaving only an empty house, so that the Xu family would not live on the streets.

And even this empty house was burned down by a fire.

Since then, the Xu family has moved to their current residence, with two dollars of silver per month, and they are renting for the time being.
