The weather had changed since the morning, and the clouds were thick and the black pressure was piled on top of the head, which was very dull and unsettling. After a while, the raindrops gradually fell, but only sparsely, as if God was also crying sadly, and secretly drooped.

By noon there was still no heavy rain, and the dark clouds had not dispersed, but one felt that there was still a great rainstorm to come, and it was very oppressive.

People seemed to have just remembered Guo Yan and Konoha who were confined in the courtyard, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Guo Yu personally brought a maid to give them mourning clothes.

Except for the guards guarding the courtyard, almost all of them went to the front to do business in the mourning hall or entertain the guests who came to pay their respects.

When an unmarried daughter dies young, most people send someone to give a gift as a symbolic sign of the owner's condolences. But because Konoha is Princess Shu who has not passed through the door, there are a lot of replies that should come.

When Guo Hua pushed open the courtyard door, Guo Hua was still kneeling beside the swing frame, motionless and maintaining a repentant posture, like a stone sculpture.

Konoha knelt beside him with an oil-paper umbrella, the umbrella was completely covered on top of Guo Yan's head, although the rain had not been heavy, Konoha was already soaked, obviously this posture had been maintained for a long, long time, the rain slowly fell down her cheeks, along the soaked clothes, and returned to the soil.

Guo Hua felt sad.

He still remembered the situation when the female Taoist priest took her away more than ten years ago, the baby girl was only a little older, crying in the arms of the female Taoist priest with a wrinkled face, and there was no other way to express his reluctance.

Now she is back, and even on this day, she has replaced the eldest daughter who has been under the knee of Chenghuan since childhood.

He could see that the two sisters were not close to each other, but as Nianyun said before he died, the favor of the first thirteen years was taken care of by Nianyun alone, and the years to come were all faced by Konoha alone.

Today he carefully examined her appearance for the first time, although it was in the rain, her eyes were red and swollen because of sadness, and she was a little embarrassed, but the eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Nianyun, and they all inherited him for seven or eight points, and her face was that of Princess Shengping, round and soft, but pointed at the chin, more and more charming than their mothers.

There is a little more uninhibited heroism and wildness in Konoha's demeanor, which is the trace left to her by folk life.

There is also this son, who has always been pampered and arrogant, and is a famous second ancestor in Chang'an City, and has never been in shape. I don't know when it started.,Suddenly it's like he's grown up.,Bear the responsibilities that belong to him.,Trying to protect his sister.。

Guo Hua looked at the two children with complicated expressions, and did not speak for a long time, as if he had also turned into a stone statue together.

The maid beside him reminded softly: "Guogong ......"

Konoha heard the voice and slowly turned his head, "Father." ”

Because I have been in the same position for too long, my body and expression are a little stiff. Guo Yan also turned his head slowly, but his gaze swept heavily from Konoha's face, with sadness and pathos, and finally stayed on Guo Yu's face, but he didn't make a sound, as if waiting for him to announce something extremely reluctant but helpless.

Guo Yu also looked at him, his eyes met, and everything was a little sad and clear.

After looking at each other for a long time, Guo Hua slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the mourning clothes in the maid's hand, the maid lowered her head and said word by word: "Please San Lang and Eleven Niang change their clothes." ”

Konoha stared at the silk shoes on the maid's feet in a daze, thinking that he had misheard. She repeated again: "Please San Lang and Eleven Niang come into the room to change clothes." ”

Konoha looked up at Guo Hua, and then at Guo Yan, neither of them spoke. She suddenly understood that Guo Jun's kneeling was not for Nianyun, but for Guo Muye, who would never have a carefree swing under this swing.

It turns out that this is what my sister said before she died, from now on, you are Guo Nianyun.

How smart her sister is, she can't get a man, so she fiercely engraved her name in his heart, and then, if she survives, she has to carry her sister's life for the rest of her life.

She was suddenly relieved, in fact, it didn't matter if she couldn't make it clear to Li Yi, since he couldn't even come to the appointment, did she still expect him to be able to fight against Concubine Wei Xian, or give up everything and take her away?

Since you can't marry Li Yi anymore, it's the same for anyone you marry. Being Guo Nianyun and marrying Li Chun, why not make Concubine Wei Xian continue to be helpless.

Guo Yao, who had always been silent, looked at her, and many indescribable feelings surged in her dark eyes, surging together.

On the contrary, it was Konoha who broke the silence first and saluted Guo Yu: "My daughter knows, so I will go to the front hall to keep a wake for my sister, and my father will ask for mourning." ”

Konoha's performance was far more calm than Guo Yu thought, she didn't cry, and she didn't argue the fact that she wasn't Nianyun, and even made him feel that it was a bit redundant to announce the news in person.

Guo Hua personally waited for the two siblings to change into plain clothes and accompanied them to the mourning hall.

This is a courtesy that has never been seen before, Konoha thought, maybe it was at this moment that she had already started Guo Nianyun's life.

The two heavy wooden doors of the mourning hall slowly opened, and the air stopped flowing as Konoha walked into that hellish place.

Her holy plain clothes, her long hair was loosely pulled up in a simple bun, the rest was scattered on the back of her head and shoulders, and her face was pale and haggard, all made her look as if she had just crawled out of the coffin.

It seemed that at that moment, the sky was dark, the sand was flying, and the wind was rolling the fallen leaves, ready to go.

Konoha walked to the center of the mourning hall and respectfully saluted his uncles and parents. The fingers of her right hand gently ran over the veins in her left wrist, feeling her pulses and feeling them throb on the pads of her fingers.

If she was a fierce woman, should she have taken a pair of sharp scissors for cutting her wedding dress and hid it in her sleeve, pressed it against the warm veins, and said loudly that if she really wanted to force her, she would die here immediately?

She knelt down, knelt on the ground, and solemnly bowed to the elders kneeling in front of her, her posture was meticulous, and even she felt that at that moment, she was the Guo Nianyun who was known for her etiquette.

None of the uncles seemed to react to him, just a deathly solemnity, and she smiled bitterly to herself in her heart.

She knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the spirit of "Konoha", got up and looked around at everyone: "Sister Konoha is blessed, she has suffered this misfortune after only two months of returning home, she is really jealous, and in the future, she has to serve her father and mother with her brothers!" I also have to bother your uncles to return the dowry gift of King Shu's Mansion for my sister. ”

Originally, she shouldn't have said that, but she knew very well that she, the client, should not ruin the plan, and everyone was waiting for her to give an affirmative answer.

This is also the verdict she gave to her fate.

Outside the window, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth like day in an instant, and twenty-four incense candles swayed at the same time, making it even darker. Then there was a thunderclap and torrential rain.

Konoha seemed to have a large string of beads in his eyes, and the strings of beads were suddenly broken by thunder at that moment, and the teardrops fell down with the rain, fast and urgent, constantly falling on the ground in front of him, and soon they were wet.

As if at that moment, everyone cried sadly, grieving for the second girl who had just returned to Chang'an and died shortly after, and tears stained the ink on the couplet.

The first elegiac couplet hanging at the front was written by Li Chun himself, and the eplegiac couplet was written with one stroke at a time, writing her life.

Konoha knelt in front of her spirit, threw the paper money into the brazier, and listened to all the people crying out for her. She almost had the illusion that the person lying in the newly made Azusa wooden coffin was herself.

At this time, she realized that there were still so many people who remembered her bits and pieces in this family.

Since then, she is no longer her, and her husband is no longer friendly. Nianyun took her life away, and from now on she wants to live in Nianyun's life, she is Guo Nianyun, the lady of Guangling County who is about to pass the door.

She didn't know how many of the weeping tears were real, but her grief should be the deepest, for the one who died was herself.

She took out a white mutton fat hosta from her sleeve, with a phoenix tail flying obliquely, with a wisp of green jade on it.

This is the hairpin that Yi gave her, but unfortunately, she can't wear it anymore.

She pulled Guo Jun, rubbed the pattern of the hosta with her fingers with great affection, and handed it to Guo Jun's hand: "Give it back for me and tell him that from now on, I will be Guo Nianyun." ”
