Chapter 240: A long, dark sorrow
After a long exchange of pleasantries, a few people remembered that there were Ning Zhi Xie Yun and his wife next to them.
Mrs. Mu said apologetically: "This son, madam, I'm sorry, dare to ask what to call it?" ”
Ning Zhi reported his name, which surprised Mrs. Mu, but she didn't expect it to be the famous second son of the king.
Mu Jinheng joked: "Auntie, I didn't expect it, Jin Heng is now traveling with celebrities in the court." ”
Mrs. Mu hated him.
Ning Zhi also smiled: "Madame, don't worry, my insider is the best at being a matchmaker, and sooner or later I will find you a satisfactory daughter-in-law!" ”
made Mu Jinheng blush, and the room was filled with happy air.
While speaking, several juniors of the Mu family arrived, Jin Yao, Jin Shao, Jin Qing, and Huan Nian were all there, and the brothers and sisters were very happy to see each other.
Until there was a trembling voice outside: "Second brother? ”
Ming Yan didn't dare to turn his head for a while, but slowly turned around, and what came into his eyes was Afu who was crying outside the threshold.
She was wearing a homely and simple dress, her hair was loosely pulled up, she didn't have makeup, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows.
The candle flame and moonlight shone on the hem of her clothes, and she was not as beautiful as a mortal.
Ming Yan's throat froze, and he couldn't make a sound, just trembling and stretching out his arms.
Ave threw herself into his arms.
Both brothers and sisters have long dark brown thick hair, and Ming Yan buried his face in Afu's bun, letting a few tears disappear silently.
In fact, Afu is very attached to Mingyan.
In her childhood career, Xiang Zihan's role as a father was erratic and hidden; Mingjun saw little, and he didn't fall in love. Although Mu Jinheng is good to her, she is the kind of childhood sweetheart; In the final analysis, the one who has always treated her like a father and brother is still Ming Yan, who is only three years older than her.
This is also the reason why even though Fu'an is thousands of miles away, Afu still sends more letters to her family than to Xiangfu.
Wang Ningzhi whispered to Xie Yun: "How come my sister and sister have never been so affectionate to me. ”
Xie Yunzheng was moved, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard him.
Your iron-masked sister and queen sister, don't mention it!
Mrs. Mu is old and in poor spirits.
Everyone dispersed, and agreed to wash the dust for Ming Yan on the second day.
Mu Huannian also planned to go back to the room, but was quietly pulled up by Jin Heng and went to Afu's courtyard together.
Ah Fu looked at Ming Yan and Jin Heng as if they had something to say, her heart was like a drum, she only felt that it was related to Shuyu, and she didn't push it open several times when she pushed the door, until Sakura in the house heard it and came to open the door.
"Girl?" She opened the door and saw Xiang Mingyan standing behind Afu at a glance.
Sakura rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was dreaming, and cried with joy: "The second son is back?" ”
Afu's eyes were sour when she saw her crying. Jin Heng hurriedly said, "Go into the house first, enter the house." ”
Chengyuan had just fallen asleep, and his little face was chubby, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Xiang Mingyan whispered: "It's Chengyuan, right?" ”
Afu pursed her lips and smiled, nodding.
Sakura Sakura carried Chengyuan into the back room, and Afu sat down with everyone, as if unintentionally, "Is the battle over?" ”
Ming Yan didn't open his mouth.
He looked at Afu's soft eyes, which were his sister on the tip of his heart.
Afu stared at Ming Yan's expression tightly, becoming more and more anxious, but she was unwilling to urge him to speak.
Although the ending has been decided, she always feels that as long as she doesn't know, there is room for improvement.
Wang Ning said: "Yan is back first, and Ji Heng is recuperating in Fu'an. ”
Aph's gaze shifted to his face.
Wang Ningzhi said with difficulty: "Shuyu hasn't been found yet. ”
"What is he looking for?" Huan Nian couldn't help but say.
Afu already knew, she felt a burst of cold and heat all over her body, her face was red and white, and her eyes were a little spinning.
Luckily she sits, and if she did, she might fall headlong.
She said, "Why haven't you found it yet?" ”
Ning Zhi saw that Ming Yan and Jin Heng were silent, so he had to repeat what Chaozhong heard.
From the very beginning, when she heard that Shu Yu was going to take the road that Zhong Yu had walked, Afu's heart throbbed.
She knew why Shu Yu had arranged so much for her before leaving, and he had more or less planned not to come back.
Afu thought to herself, Shuyu, Shuyu, this trip can find peace of mind for you, why don't I ask you to go? But you should have told me sooner so we could spend more time together.
She blamed herself again, Afu, Afu, why did she have trouble with Shuyu? has been married for four years, except for the days when he went on the expedition, how many times are the two of them in Chang'an but "old and dead and never get along"!
I finally know what it means to "have flowers that can be folded and straightened".
Speaking of when Shuyu was going to change Ji Heng, Ming Yan finally couldn't help it, sat down next to Afu, and held her shoulders: "Don't listen to Afu, don't listen, rest and rest, okay?" ”
"I want to listen." She's been waiting for a long, long time.
Ning Zhi looked at her face and said faster: "... Shuyu replaced Ji Heng. After the destruction of the city, Hikosen found only half of his cloak. ”
"Did he not find it? Let's look for it again..."Before Afu finished speaking, she silenced herself.
Yan Xian and Pei Jiajun are not outsiders, and they definitely tried their best to find them.
I think I picked every brick and tile in the whole city, and if I couldn't find it, I just couldn't find it.
Ming Yan held her cold hand, feeling that she was shaking all the time, but she wasn't crying at all, not even choked at all.
Then Ning Zhi said that today's emperor was wronged by the Pei family, and Afu listened and nodded all the time.
Ming Yan couldn't rest assured after all, and pulled Afu and said: "Sister, don't hold back, cry if you want to, what are you hiding from your second brother?" ”
Xie Yun also said: "It's all your own family, Afu don't hold back." ”
The more they persuade, the more they feel the lack of words.
The main Afu had already expected this, but suddenly there was no hope, and the sorrow was not explosive, but long and dark, swallowing her whole person little by little.
She didn't hold back, but her tears were dried up in the days and nights of the past.
After a pause, she felt able to breathe, and then she stood up and sent the group out.
Seeing that they were all piled up at the door and didn't dare to leave, Afu said: "Don't worry, I have Chengyuan, and nothing can happen." ”
With that, he closed the door.
They waited at the door for a while, and when they heard the sound of rustling in their lives, they couldn't wait any longer, so they went out of Afu's courtyard one after another.
Mu Huannian walked at the end, and suddenly remembered the letter that Mu Jinheng gave her before, Pei Shuyu left to Afu.
She was afraid that something would be wrong, so she kept it close to her.
At this time, he took it out of his sleeve, and his feet froze, and he didn't know whether to give it to her or not.
As soon as Jin Heng turned around, he saw the letter in her hand, and hurriedly walked over and pulled his sister over: "Don't give it, let's go." ”
Huan Nian was stunned and said: "Didn't you say that if Sister Fu is sad, show it to her?" ”
She stared at Mu Jinheng seriously: "You won't still be worried about Sister Fu, right?" ”
Mu Jinheng reacted for a while before she understood what she was talking about, and said embarrassedly: "Sister! ”
"I just think that Fu Mei is thinking too much about General Pei now. If she gave her this letter, there must have been some words of consolation, and she would not be even more sad when she had read it? ”
Huan Nian was a little hesitant. But she couldn't open it to see what Shuyu had written, so she couldn't help but hesitate.
"Hey, is Ming Yan waiting for you?" She saw a figure around the corner.
Jin Heng said: "Xu is." Sister, I'll send you back to the room first. ”
"I have something to give to my family. Go quickly, he may have something to look for you. Mu Huannian smiled and went by himself.
As soon as Mu Jinheng walked over, he said to Ming Yan: "Did you say that General Pei's letter was the one that Sister Nian took?" ”
Mu Jinheng nodded: "Yes, it's just that I hesitate to show Fumei." The sooner she forgets about General Pei, the better she will feel in her heart. Although this is not good for General Pei, but he has a spirit in the sky, and he also hopes that Fumei will be happier? ”
The moonlight was like water, and Ming Yan quietly looked at Jin Heng's expression: "I think there are some things, even if they are painful, I don't want to forget them, let alone miss them." ”
Ming Yan's clear eyes looked a little unfathomable under the blue sky, and Jin Heng thought of the past of Fu'an for no reason.
He said, "yes." ”
In all fairness, he and Yang Yiqu just met in Pingshui, and he still touched those pains over and over again, Fu Mei and General Pei have been married for five years, where can they easily say forget and forget?
Jin Heng said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the third sister and ask her to show the letter to Fumei." ”
Ming Yan patted Jin Heng's shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't been to Yuyang for a long time, and I forgot what we all played in this yard when we were children." ”
Childhood memories can always free people from the worries of the present world, Jin Heng smiled and said: "Have some Xiaoxiang tea?" ”
