"Isn't the entanglement deep?" Ji Liu didn't agree with Xiliu's conclusion, thinking that at the beginning, she not only bought him a mask, but also carefully prepared a birthday banquet for him, which was also the first birthday banquet in his life.

From her scattered narration, he understood that the reason why she traveled thousands of miles to Northern Xinjiang was because her father felt that she still needed to temper more, so he announced directly in front of everyone without asking her opinion: "The things of the Shaodong family have been handled well, but as a young owner, you will need to bear more in the future, so next month, the Shaodong family will lead everyone to the north to see if the tea road in the north should be opened." In this way, she had to take the caravan on the journey to the north.

She also told him that when she was leaving, her sister cried profusely and said to her: "Sister, the road to the north is far away, I used my savings to make you a dress, don't freeze on the road." She took it and took a look, and found that it was a pale pink Luo skirt, she shook her head helplessly, and scolded in her heart, how can Luo skirt resist freezing, but when she saw her pitiful face, she still accepted Luo skirt.

Unexpectedly, the weather in northern Xinjiang is changeable, and this skirt will be useful in northern Xinjiang one day, that is, on the day of the Yuan Festival in the town, she changed into a skirt.

The town was the first town they reached in northern Xinjiang, and it was an important pass from Daduan to the border area of northern Xinjiang, and it was also an important blocking point from the border to the southern region. As the name suggests, this town is full of people. When they arrived in the town, it was noon, which also coincided with the Chinese New Year Festival. They hurriedly found the inn, and then took their men and horses to work separately, counted the goods, placed the carriages and horses, and then cleaned themselves all the way to the wind and sand, and all kinds of things were cleaned up, and it was already dusk. Looking from the wooden corridor, to and from the town, all the houses have been hung with beautiful lanterns, under the orange firelight, all kinds of vendors began to live, the masks are exquisite, the paper kites are like life, the juggling stage, the crowd is endless, this is a lively scene he has never seen, presumably she has never seen it.

He didn't know who his father was, and he didn't know where his mother was, but he had to do all kinds of experiences and understand all the plans and layouts...... In a word, as long as he is not careful, he may never see the next morning, he is like living in an underground dark city. According to her, since she was a child, she was designated by her father as the young owner of the Xi family, and since then, she often wears men's clothes and mixes with her father in various business occasions, and has never played like other little girls.

On that day, she changed into the Luo skirt that her sister forced her to give her, skipped a simple women's hairstyle, took her own fan, and then invited him to go out together, and after walking back and forth for a long time, they walked into a restaurant, sat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, and quietly watched others play on the street, which was a way of life that he and she were not familiar with, but at that time, he was not sad, someone was by his side, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with watching others quietly like this. Outside the restaurant, the full moon slowly moved, she supported her cheeks with both hands, and said, "There is a very good poem about the Shangyuan Festival." On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I didn't see last year's people, and the sleeves of my green shirt were wet with tears......"

"Brother Hua, have you heard this poem?" She turned to him and asked.

"I've read it, I don't like it very much, it's boring to listen to." He replied.

Hearing his words, she didn't say anything, but still held her cheeks in amazement.

He didn't understand what she was so sad about, and when he saw her pondering, he coughed twice, turned the mask on his hand twice, looked out the window at the street market, and asked, "Is there any interesting story about this poem?" ”

"The story, there's nothing special, I just think that the artistic conception of 'willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk' is very beautiful." She replied with a smile.

After they had watched the bustle on the second floor for an hour, she waved her hand and called the guys in the restaurant. Then, the guy served a lot of exquisite dishes, and after the dishes were finished, he brought a few sums of sake, which was full of aroma and dreamlike.

She poured two cups, handed one of them to him, smiled Yan Yan, and said, "Ask Brother Hua, happy birthday." ”

He was stunned, didn't stretch out his hand to take the glass of wine, and only asked, "How do you know that today is my birthday?" ”

She replied: "We have been walking together for a few months, how could I not know about this little thing?" I also know that this year, you just turned fifteen years old, what a coincidence to say, looking for a birthday with you, just to make a double fifteen, hahaha......"

He didn't look happy, but asked her more coldly, "What the hell are you...... How do you know? ”

Her smile stopped abruptly, and her arm shaking slightly with fright, and a little wine poured out with the shaking, wetting her sleeve. So she simply put the wine glass in front of him and said, "One day I went to talk to you, who knew that I met you asleep, I was going to leave, but you suddenly pulled me and cried, mother, don't go, fifteen is the child's birthday, can you accompany the child to celebrate the birthday and then leave...... Not only that, but you also pulled me for a long time, and talked about a lot of things, but I can't remember exactly, oh yes, I remember that you said that there was a person around you who was called Mr. Jiang or something...... I can't remember the rest, you are talking in a dream, messy, I didn't understand a few words, I just happened to hear your birthday, look at your brows when you dream, and tears rippled, very pitiful, so I thought about preparing a birthday banquet for you, who knows you...... You're still angry, you really don't know how to be good......"

When she spoke, her tone was flat, but she put on a very angry look, as if she was really angry, but he didn't believe it, so he continued to question: "You talk nonsense, I won't fall asleep indiscriminately, I won't talk in my dreams, and I won't let my mother accompany me for my birthday......"

She drank the wine in front of her and asked angrily, "Really?" Are you sure you haven't fallen asleep once? Haven't you ever talked in your dreams once? Also, is there really no one around you who is called Mr. Jiang? ”

He was stunned, thinking to himself, she knew Jiang Fengmian, could it really be that she had revealed it to her in her dream, but ...... He had never been in the habit of talking in his sleep, let alone falling asleep indiscriminately, and he would only sleep peacefully when the night was really deep, so deep that there was no more human voice.

He continued, "When did you come to me?" ”

She replied, "It was the day we went to see the big lake under the snow-capped mountains, and we waited until sunset to see the stars on the lake before returning, and it was very late, and many people were resting that day, but I was somehow in the tent, I just couldn't sleep, so I thought, we have just come back, and you should not be asleep, so I will go to look for you." At that time, the two attendants at the door of your tent also fell asleep, and I saw that they were working hard all night, so I did not wake them up, and slipped into your tent quietly. ”

He wondered, "Is that so?" ”
