Konoha struggled to crawl out of his dream, as if he had just escaped from the clutches of the devil, cold sweat, dizziness, and a black blue under his eyes.

In the dream, Aunt Wei's words still lingered in my ears, as if they had just been said.

Those words were not something she imagined, but they were indeed said by Aunt Wei bit by bit in the past ten years, pieced together in Konoha's memory, deep in the bones and blood.

Aunt Wei's life is like a thick story, full of blood and tears, but it is strangely covered up by her peace.

Her father used to be the head of the household, but he was unjustly imprisoned, his family was raided, and both parents died in prison. Her aunt, who had become the crown princess, was implicated and abandoned, and committed suicide.

When she was young, she was sold into the Qinglou, grew up with a sea of blood and hatred, and became the leading Oiran girl in the Chang'an Sect. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, I met the destined lover, who was young and promising, and had deep affection, just like the excerpts sung in the play, Lang loved the concubine, ransomed her and took her away from the sea of suffering.

Later, Aunt Wei took the initiative to leave him, stayed away from Chang'an, hid in Yangzhou and never came back, bought a spacious courtyard with three entrances to live alone, until many years later, Xie naturally brought a little baby girl to accompany her.

As for the reason for leaving Chang'an, Aunt Wei, who has never shied away from the past, was tight-lipped and never said much. Konoha guessed that after a long time, the so-called love began to fade, and the son began to gradually show signs of bad luck, so Aunt Wei refused to compromise and took the initiative to leave, out of sight.

It's just that her life has been scarred, and she probably can't afford more stories, she never married again, and she lived a dull life.

"Twelve mothers......?"

Konoha turned his face from the past and saw Fennel holding a towel and gargling beside her, as if she wanted to stop talking.

She took the towel and wiped her face: "What's the matter?" ”

"The third prince is here, let's take a look at Twelve Niang, sitting outside, do you want to call him in?"

Fennel is a very good girl, she knows how to guess the master's intentions and do things, but she doesn't take ideas randomly.

Mu Ye remembered what Li Yi said that he wanted Guo Yan to take her out for horseback riding, so he laughed, ordered Fennel to serve her to freshen up and change her clothes, and then said, "Please come in, third brother." ”

Guo Yan heard it outside, and didn't wait for the maid to call him, so he walked in, and saw that Konoha was wearing a half-worn home-style clothes, very casual, so he also sat on the crescent stool next to the couch, and smiled slightly: "Yi asked me to take you out for a walk more - but I see that you are not in good spirits today, but you don't sleep well?" ”

Mu Ye said: "I think I was tired from entering the palace yesterday, so it's okay, the third brother will talk to me." ”

This is the first time that the brother and sister have gossiped so aimlessly, and the topic jumps, but they are also comfortable. Guo Yan likes this little sister's casual and frank temperament, not like the eldest sister.

Guo Yan didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked: "Is it true that it doesn't snow in Jiangnan in winter?" ”

Konoha thought for a moment and said, "Not really, there are always three or five thin snowfalls in a winter, but it can't accumulate, and it will melt in a day or two-who told you about this?" ”

Fennel came in with breakfast, and Guo Yan simply accompanied her to use some more, while smiling, "Listening to what the third uncle said, he always likes to nag about some Jiangnan scenery and Gusu Huaiyang." ”

The third uncle is the gentle and loving old man in the ancestral hall. Konoha felt an inexplicable move in his heart, as if something was about to come out, and he unconsciously asked, "Has the third uncle been to Jiangnan?" ”

Guo Yan shook his head: "I heard that in the early years, I followed my grandfather to fight Tubo and Pingjiangzhou, what did he do in Jiangnan!" He's got old old in the south......"

The beloved person that Aunt Wei remembers in her memory is the son of a general, with a very good family background, six or seven years older than her, is he the uncle of the Guo family?

Guo Yan didn't notice the difference in her expression, and still muttered: "I think it's not fun to be wet and cold, and there is no snow, so you can't catch birds in winter." ”

Konoha's thoughts were pulled back by him, and he couldn't help laughing, "It's all about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, doesn't my father force the third brother to read the Four Books and the Five Classics?" ”

Guo Yan replied: "What is there to read about the Four Books and Five Classics, I have already memorized them." ”

Konoha had no doubt that he had memorized the Four Books and Five Classics he said a long time ago, because behind his cynical attitude, there was still a very elegant and bookish atmosphere, which made people feel comfortable.

The two had breakfast, and Konoha suddenly asked, "Why does the third brother have time to come and see me today?" ”

Guo Yan's gaze flickered and dimmed, falling on her as if it was about to penetrate her, making her inexplicably uncomfortable. She was thinking that Guo Yan would answer, "I need no reason to come to see my sister", but he said, "It was Li Chun who asked me to come to see you." ”

Konoha couldn't help but shudder, his back was cold, and he took half a step back. She was so afraid of the man for some reason, and even his name made her a little frightened.

Qiang calmed down, took a deep breath, and then returned to his body, and said, "Impossible, when did you get so close to him?" ”

Guo Yan kept staring at her reaction, and laughed when he saw this: "Why, you don't know that he and I also grew up together, and we used to fight cocks together in Pingkangli." ”

Konoha shook his head: "That was in the past, everyone was changing, and some people were afraid that some things could not be returned." ”

Guo Yan was a little deflated and sighed: "You're right, some people, some things, can't go back." ”

He slowly took out a letter from his waist and handed it to her, "Yes, he has a letter for you." But - whether to see or not to see, to return or not to return, is up to you. ”

It turned out that this was the purpose of Guo Ju coming to chat with her early this morning, to find out what she meant first, and then decided to be the messenger for him. Don't force her to throw it to complete the task, and don't force her to ask what to do with it, so that she is grateful.

Konoha slowly stretched out his hand, and as soon as his fingers received the thin letterhead, it seemed to be burned, and he unconsciously withdrew his hand. She looked at her fingers in amazement, and felt amused herself, and reached out to take the letterhead steadily, and unfolded it three times and two times.

The men of the Li family, no matter which one they are, have the power to make people fearful, but they also have the charm to make people have to get closer.

When I saw the vigorous and elegant handwriting, I didn't feel a "ah" again.

Guo Yan stretched out his hand to grab the letterhead, and said with a smile: "What is written, so that you are so surprised." ”

Konoha handed him the letterhead and said, "I didn't write anything important, but this hand is really handsome, I didn't expect it." ”

Guo Jun unfolded the letterhead, and there were only a few words on it: Hibiscus Xie has been gone for a long time, silver cinnamon is hairy, fragrant for ten miles, like the forecourt of the Ru family, reminiscing about you.

Recall you.

There is only one word "Fu", but it is a wordless statement of a lot of settling thoughts, pointing out the nostalgia and attachment that have not been revealed for several years, which means a long time.

Guo Yan was stunned for a while, and suddenly had a trace of inexplicable feelings, wishing that the beauty in front of him would recognize him first.

"I'll reply to the letter in the afternoon, and the third brother will hand it over to him for me, okay?"

Guo Yan suddenly came back to his senses, remembering that the girl in front of him was his own sister, and he secretly laughed at himself for thinking too much, and said with a smile: "That's natural." ”
