Ying Zheng ten years, a secluded town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was the summer solstice, and the heat was pressing, and there were few people in the market except for some vendors. People who have nothing to do go out as little as possible and stay at home to escape the heat, but the small lake on the edge of the town is a different thing at the moment.

The wind is light and the clouds are clear, the blue sky is like water, the lake is as wide as a mirror, and the lotus flowers are blooming all over the pale pink, and they are slim and swaying against the green leaves of Ruoping.

The lotus fragrance is swirling, a few leaves are rippling lightly, and the woman picking lotus on the top is picking lotus, and she sings a melodious tune in her mouth. The breeze is light, and the water droplets on the lotus leaves gently slide down the water like jade beads, creating layers of ripples. In the distance, some children who could not stand the scorching heat came together, stripped off their essence, jumped into the lake, and swam happily in the water.

There is a blue-tiled bungalow by the lake, reflected in the blue waves of the mirror lake, like an elegant and tranquil landscape painting. Surrounded by bamboo fences outside the bungalow, the door is open because it is daylight. There is a lush tree planted in the courtyard, and there is a green dwarf bamboo, which is green and cool, adding a bit of elegance to the house.

The door of the hall was open, Ruoxin hung her head and wrote the prescription, and in front of her sat an old man with long beards and white sideburns, who looked at Ruoxin with a smile while hanging his back slightly.

Putting the pen on the pen rest, Ruoxin gently dried the ink on the paper, then handed it to an old man sitting at the table, and said, "Uncle Chang, I don't have a few flavors of medicine in the prescription, you let Xiaoshan go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine for you according to this prescription." After taking three more posts, your illness will probably be fine, and if you still feel unwell in the future, you can tell me again. ”

"Huh." The old man reached out and took the prescription, carefully folded it and put it in his sleeve pocket, and said, "What a troublesome sir." You're such a nice person, and it's a great blessing to have a gentleman in this town, and to be able to teach the cubs in the school, and to be able to help us see a doctor. ”

Ruoxin shook her head and smiled: "Uncle Chang is polite, we are often taken care of by you, and it is only right to say that we are grateful." I'm just doing what I can. ”

Ruoxin and her party came to this town a year and a half ago, and they unexpectedly found that Bai Qingyin was also here. The town is not big, and there are only more than 200 households in total, and it is not as prosperous as the big city, but Ruoxin saw that this town has a beautiful environment and simple folk customs, and she also decided to settle here after Bai Qingyin's stay. They chose a location, built a house by the lake, and settled in.

The townspeople are kind and simple, and they do not reject outsiders, and they are even more enthusiastic when they know that they are old friends of Bai Qingyin. Seeing that Ruoxin and the others were inconvenient for life when they first arrived, they sent some things over from time to time.

Just when the gentleman of the school entered Beijing to take the exam, the mayor was worried about where to find another gentleman, Ruoxin knew about it, so he took over the position of Mr. and replaced the vacancy.

The villagers did not suspect that she was a woman, but admired her very much, and the children were also curious and excited, and it didn't take long for them to like this gentle and handsome female gentleman. In the school, it is always their wonderful husband who opens and closes his mouth outside the school.

After the old man put away the prescription, he got up from his chair and said with a smile: "Sir, tomorrow we will marry a daughter-in-law in our family, and I want to invite him to drink the wedding wine." ”

"Chang Sheng is going to get married?" Ruoxin smiled: "Okay, I will definitely go." ”

After coming to the town for almost two years, Ruoxin has been invited to drink wedding wine countless times. She no longer had the power of a priest, but she still used to sing a blessing at weddings. Today's prayer is just an ordinary greeting, and it does not have the ability to pray as it used to be, but the villagers in the town show real joy and gratitude, and even preach to each other to invite Ruoxin on a happy occasion to add an extra blessing.

This was a feeling she had never experienced in the past when she was a priest.

Sending Chang Bo to the door, Chang Bo turned around and waved his hand, letting Ruoxin stay, and then left with a smile.

Qingyin lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner hall, through the window, she saw Chang Bo who left with joy, and then looked at Ruoxin who was smiling like spring, Bai Qingyin also showed a faint smile on her face, she said softly: "Ruoxin, the people in the town like you very much." ”

Ruoxin looked back at her, nodded and said, "I like them very much, living here makes people feel very stable and warm." ”

"yes." Bai Qingyin put the herbs in his hand into the bamboo basket, and said, "At the beginning, Jing Chu and I wanted to find a place and spend our last days peacefully, so we came to this town. I didn't expect to find a master who could save Jing Chu by mistake, thanks to the kind and enthusiastic villagers here. ”

"How's the situation at the beginning of the well?"

Bai Qingyin smiled with relief, "It's better, I went this time, he can already recognize me, but he can't remember the memories of the past." ”

"It's better to forget, some things are happier to forget than to remember. It's just that if you want to see him, you'll have to wait another half a year. ”

"Half of the time we are together, we already feel very happy, it is a gift from God, and you have given us a happy rebirth."

"Happiness is earned by yourself." Ruoxin shook her head and said, the smile on her face was gentle, "Qingyin, you deserve such happiness." ”

Bai Qingyin smiled, with a faint warmth on her plain face, and after a while, she asked again: "Ruoxin, what about you?" ”

Ruoxin was packing up the pen and paper in her hand, and when she heard Bai Qingyin's question, she looked up and said, "What am I?" ”

Bai Qingyin looked at Ruoxin gently and said, "I thought that when I came back this time, I would drink the wedding wine of you and Bai Rong." ”

Ruoxin shook her head, the expression on her face was also a little helpless, she smiled and said, "Bai Rong doesn't want to." ”

A year ago, when she mentioned the marriage between the two, Bai Rong was silent for a long time before saying: "Bai Rong will always protect the girl, but the real happiness of the girl is not Bai Rong." Wait another year, if the person the girl was waiting for hasn't come back, Bai Rong won't let go anymore. ”

Seriously, that was the first time she heard Bai Rong's refusal, but she didn't expect it to be in this matter.

Ruoxin knew who Bai Rong was talking about.

Two years have passed, like a rush of water. The nightmarish experience in the capital has also become a dusty history in memory.

Ruoxin woke up, and it was half a month later. Huang Fuxian has left and is missing. Bai Ruoyin used his life to lift the curse of the Ying royal family, but Huang Fuxian gave up the action of restoring the orthodoxy of the Ying clan.

That sacrifice upset the entire Dongheng Dynasty, but what made her relieved was that Xiao Si and Fenghua did not die, but Xiao Si forgot the scene on the day of the sacrifice. And Fenghua, his heart was hit hard, and his life was almost in danger. Three days later, Emperor Ke Languo sent someone to pick up Fenghua and blocked his news from then on.

Emperor Ying Zheng returned safely from Xiangshan a few days later. Although King Ying Ning and others did not believe that Huang Fuxian's decades-long plan for the restoration of the country was terminated, more than half a year had passed, but there was still no news of Huang Fuxian and his subordinates. It's like the fog dissipates without leaving a trace.

Many of the cadres in the imperial court who secretly took refuge in Huangfuxian were properly dealt with by King Yingning, and King Yingning gave them a chance, and the Huairou policy exempted the general troubles brought about by the great purge of the imperial court.

After Ruoxin gave birth to a child in the capital, she was ready to leave with Bai Rong, but she didn't know that Rouge insisted on following, Ruoxin couldn't, she could only agree, and without surprise, Gu Xingyuan also left with her.

Because of Gu Xingyuan's relationship, Ruoxin and King Ying Ning also kept in touch. Half a year ago, King Ying Ning asked people to bring news from the capital, saying that the emperor of Ke Languo had died, and the crown prince Qin Zhenhua succeeded him and changed his country name to Tianyuan. A month ago, Emperor Tianyuan married the daughter of the prime minister, and the whole world celebrated.
