Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Journey Comes Down to Yulou Chun

"Yes! Here we have our joys and sorrows, and we have the best times we have had in so many years. How can you give up when you leave at once! After returning to the Central Plains, build a house exactly like this in the house, so that you can experience the same joy and sorrow as here at all times. Xue Dingshan hugged Fan Lihua's waist and said solemnly with a smile.

"It's a deal!" Fan Lihua smiled: "Don't coax me." Xue Dingshan kissed her sideburns and said, "I will never coax you." Alas! For more than 20 years, you have lived in such a deserted room? ”

Fan Lihua smiled indifferently and said, "I like this feeling of cleanliness and tranquility. Xue Dingshan smiled: "You must change your habits in the future." The princess of the two Liao kings is not an outsider who has entered the Tao. Fan Lihua smiled: "I've changed a lot for you, don't you see?" ”

"Of course I saw it all. Ning'er, it's not early, how about we have another spring breeze here? Xue Dingshan kissed Fan Lihua's cheek and said softly. Fan Lihua's face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "I'm not feeling well, not to mention that you have to go to ask for your father's soul tomorrow, you should also be taboo." Let's look at this again, wouldn't it be nice to talk quietly like this? Xue Dingshan had no choice but to nod and said with a smile: "It's up to you." ”

Fan Lihua was accompanied by Xue Dingshan, and the inner room, outer room, and blue yarn cabinet stopped in almost every corner of Yilanxuan. Looking at the shelves, screens and chairs in the room, I recalled the past scenes of the past in the past year since I stayed in Yilanxuan. Sudden joy and sorrow, sometimes the smile is full of delicate faces, and sometimes the tears are overflowing with autumn water.

In front of the ivory bed, Xue Dingshan smiled and hugged Fan Lihua, and said in her ear: "What do you remember?" A trace of desolation passed over Fan Lihua's face, as if she recalled the unbearable past, and sighed sadly: "I remembered that I was forced by Yunlan and my sister to pour those bitter juices here; Thinking of the night when the lightning and thunder roared, I curled up in the corner of the bed alone with the piercing pain in my body, hoping for an early dawn; Remember...... When I was married, I had nightmares alone on the railing of my bed......"

Xue Dingshan hurriedly covered Fan Lihua's mouth, and said with guilt: "Ning'er, it's me who is not good, I failed you and made you suffer so much." I'm sorry. ”

"Yunlang." Fan Lihua hurriedly retracted her thoughts, shook her head slightly, and said, "None of this is important. And most importantly...... Here you hugged me for the first time; Got close to me for the first time; Let me...... became a real woman; And there's ...... Our children. Here, we experience a life and death together; On a cold night, you are here to hold me, warm my cold body, and ask me about my diet and daily life. With these, no amount of suffering can be worth it. ”

"Ning'er, Ning'er......" Xue Dingshan called to Fan Lihua softly, kissing the corners of her smiling lips. Fan Lihua smiled and said softly: "Yunlang, it's not early, I have to get up early tomorrow, let's rest early." Xue Dingshan shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "It's almost the fourth shift, and I can't sleep, so I have to take a break with my clothes." You don't have to wake up early, you can sleep for a while. ”

Fan Lihua was tired, so she had to rely on him and lie in her clothes. Xue Dingshan and his clothes fell beside her, only pulling the brocade cover on his body, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

At three o'clock in the fifth watch, Xue Dingshan got up quietly, tucked the brocade on Fan Lihua's body, and kissed her on the forehead. woke up the sleeping Fan Lihua, opened her eyes and asked, "Got up?" Then he got up. Xue Dingshan hurriedly held her down and said with a smile: "What are you doing on such a cold day?" Take a break, it's never too late to get up again in the morning. Fan Lihua smiled, lay back in the quilt, and said with a smile: "The wind is strong in the mountains, and the snow has blocked the mountain road, so be careful on the road." Remember to put on your cloak and hood and don't let the wind blow. ”

Xue Dingshan smiled: "I know, you can rest well." Still tucked the Suluo jacquard tent, walked out of the inner room, gently opened the door and went downstairs, turned around and looked at Yilanxuan, who was still lit by candlelight.

It is here that I carry the most unforgettable joy and sorrow in my life. The charm of the newlywed period and the sadness of the Mid-Autumn Festival all linger in my heart. Now that I am gone, I am afraid that I will never be able to come back in this life, and I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Back in the study, Xun Qing and Lu Li had already gotten up. After serving and grooming, I changed into plain clothes. Xue Yulian, Xue Jingshan, and Xue Yinglong also changed into plain clothes. The three sisters and brothers took Xue Yinglong out of the inner house, and there were already a hundred soldiers in the front hall waiting in plain clothes. The sister and brother led people to prepare vehicles and horses, and they carried the air and death lanterns out of the Shuai Mansion and rushed to the White Tiger Temple.

The people who kept the spirit in the White Tiger Temple, and the monks who came back one after another had already received a notice yesterday, and they got up early to light the wax and cover the lamp, which illuminated the temple all over the place.

The three sisters and brothers came to the temple gate to make people pass, and the monks in the temple hurriedly greeted each other, and they saw each other and let them enter the main hall. The monks chanted excessively, and the attendants offered sacrifices. Xue Ding Mountain in the center; Xue Yulian on the left; Xue Jingshan on the right; Xue Yinglong was behind Xue Dingshan, took incense, and bowed on the mat. The sister and brother each had their own thoughts, and tears fell like rain. Xue Dingshan prayed with sorrow: "Father, the lost land has been recovered, and the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have also formed an alliance. Today, the son invited his father to return to his homeland with his son and settle in the soil. The sacrifice was ordered, and the soldiers picked up Xue Rengui's coffin and placed it on the accompanying vehicle.

Xue Jingshan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, brother, what about the remains of my sister-in-law?" Xue Yulian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Just let her stay here." Maybe it can protect the safety of the people on this side. Xue Dingshan smiled knowingly and said, "Just let her stay here." ”

The sister and brother escorted the coffin out of the White Tiger Temple and went down the mountain to return to the White Tiger Pass.

It was already early morning when she returned to Baihu Pass, and Princess Liu took Li Hong, Dou Yihu and the maid and maid to greet her outside the middle gate in person, and when she saw Xue Rengui's coffin, she couldn't help but cry with sadness, causing everyone to cry. For a long time, Li Hong and Dou Yihu stopped their tears and persuaded them, and Princess Liu and the Xue sisters and brothers stopped their tears.

After a busy breakfast, the whole team set off.

Brother Xue Dingshan, Xue Yinglong sat on a horse in plain clothes to protect the coffin; Li Hong and Dou Yihu protect their families. Princess Liu took a chariot with eight treasures; Xue Jinlian, Li Xiurong and Liu Ruyan shared a Cuigai Zhulun car; Xue Yulian accompanied Fan Lihua to sit in a car with eight treasures inlaid with pearls. The rest of the maids, maids, and women boarded their own vehicles. Everything stopped, and Xue Dingshan ordered, "Let's go." "A thousand men and horses, escorting the Xue family and leaving the White Tiger Pass.

Ten miles of long pavilion, the Qin and Han couples and the civil and military officials who stayed in the White Tiger Pass set up a banquet. Xue Dingshan invited Princess Liu and Fan Lihua to get out of the car and thanked the officials one by one. After a few glasses of wine, he waved goodbye.

The snow of the three winters is whiter and whiter with the brilliance of the morning sun. The snowflakes blown off by the breeze on the trees are gorgeous in the sun, which seems to indicate the auspicious weather of the coming spring. The morning sun shines softly through the tiles embedded in the windows.

The soft sunlight gently sprinkled on Fan Lihua's face, that impeccably beautiful face with a pleasant smile, and the beautiful hands like magnolia petals gently stroked their lower abdomen.

"Kid, go home. You will be born and raised in your hometown...... Be an upright Chinese son. You don't have to be like your mother anymore and never dream of finding your way back home. ”
