Autumn comes and winter, and in a blink of an eye, it's time for the apricot blossoms to be full.

The apricot blossom trees in the theater also bloomed very well, and a woman in pink broke off an extremely good apricot blossom and handed it to Xu Che on the side.

"Thank you Gongzi for giving Xinghua a way to live, and now being able to take care of flowers and trees in the house is the greatest gift."

He took the flower from her hand and smiled, "If it weren't for the good care of the girl, how could I have seen such a beautiful beauty?" ”

"Childe said and laughed, this apricot tree is not tolerant of waterlogging, if the ground is waterlogged for too long, its roots will rot, and then even the tree will be gone, how can there be any flowers?"

"You are making fun of the Son of Heaven by taking advantage of the merits of your courtiers," he sniffed the flowers in his hand and smiled beautifully, "If next year's flowers are not as good as this year's, I don't think you dare to make fun of me." ”

"Who clearly saw that it had rained for two days, and dared to water the apricot tree on the third day," she tilted her head, and the corners of her mouth smiled beautifully, sweet and lovely, "What courtier is the son of heaven, if the son likes it, why don't you take the test yourself, why bother to talk to me here?"

"Xinghua, you are becoming more and more capable, and you are still talking to me," he glanced up at the sky, it was almost dusk, and the orange light spread out in the air, infinitely beautiful, "Okay, the hour is not early, if you don't go back, Brother Xing should be worried." ”

"He doesn't care if I live or die," she muttered, but when she saw Xu Che's serious expression, she had to stop her mouth and snatch the apricot blossom from his hand, "This is mine, if you want it, fold it yourself." ”

She shook the pink and white flower in her hand at him, turned around and left with a smile, and Xu Che behind her could only smile helplessly.

At sunset, Xu Che, who had just eaten a bowl, folded a red apricot blossom, entered the study, put a piece of pastry on a white dish and blue striped plate in front of the ruler, touched Lan Xue with his fingertips and said, "I won't play with you today, I'll go to rest first."

Put the apricot blossom in his hand into a slender neck of broken jade white porcelain, turn around and go to sleep on the couch.

When I woke up, the night had fallen, and only the shadow of a lamp on my desk was scattered. Suddenly, a flute sounded mournfully, tactfully and sadly.

Xu Che carried the lantern and left, only to see the cold moonlight falling on the woman in blue under the apricot blossom tree, the flute sound was faint, and the back was sad.

"In the shadow of the apricot blossoms, the flute is played until dawn. I'm finally seeing you tonight. In this way, the jade flute I gave you is worth it," he put the lamp in his hand on the branch, leaned against the apricot tree, and extinguished the candle, "so the moonlight, don't let these fireworks in the world spoil it." It's just that the name Xinghua is not very suitable for girls? ”

The jade flute that had just left her mouth was tightly grasped by Lan Xue, because he liked this flower, and she only fell the word "apricot blossom" that day. Now, because you have her, don't you want others to call her by this name? It seems that not only can't she keep a place to live, but she can't even keep this little thing on her mind.

"Apricot blossoms, it's just that the words that fell randomly that day were too much," her hand stopped in the air was stunned, and her fingertips wrote down like clouds, "There is no name and no surname, and there is nothing suitable or unsuitable." ”

Lan Xue remembered the scene where he joked with Xinghua during the day, and turned the jade flute in his hand with his fingertips. In your eyes, she is not the only one who deserves this name.

Just as he lowered his eyebrows, he heard the man behind him exclaim, "Huh? This is not difficult. I saw that the color of the girl's clothes was blue and purple, which was very rare, and her temperament was slightly cool with some snowflakes, so she called it blue snow. ”

It turns out that the name is based on the color, but the color on his body is not the rarest, "If you say rare, count the fulcrum hairpin." The emerald green seems to carry the color of the sky after the rain, blue is not blue, green is not green, and there is a little blue on the feathers, like the tears of kingfishers. ”

Her hand, which had been writing, finally stopped, and looked at the moonlight above, which was indescribably desolate and resolute.

Blue snow? You really like to call me that. It's just that I can't even compare to a little spider in your eyes? She wanted to tilt her head, but she stopped talking. Forget it, if you find out that I'm her, you won't talk to me anymore.

Xu Che looked at her waving fingers and felt in his heart. She hadn't been like this in front of her eyes in a long time. I thought to myself: For so long, you didn't dare to show your face in front of me, Lan Xue?

If he hadn't happened to see a little spider in human form tonight, the blue-clothed and blue-haired woman in front of him would have kept it hidden, right? It's just that once you see it, it's hard to forget.

He opened his hands, hugged the air in front of him, and closed his eyes gently, as if he were really hugging her.

Mrs. Xu couldn't stay idle, and for several days, in the name of the party, she invited many rich ladies to Xu's mansion. Seeing that none of her sons were eye-catching, Mrs. Xu was anxious.

"Che'er, I'm quite satisfied with the Miss Liu just now, she is good-looking and knowledgeable, and she can be regarded as a good match with you, if you are satisfied, I will find someone to give a dowry another day."

"Mother, even if Miss Liu is very good, she is not the beloved woman of the child after all......"

"She is all good in your heart, in my opinion, it is all deliberate, what kind of woman she is, you can't see clearly, but I can see it clearly as a mother."

Mrs. Xu said decisively, but saw him kneeling on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Mother, she has a kind nature and has always protected the child, this is enough." ”

He glanced at the blue spider on his shoulder, and suddenly whispered, "Yes, Blue Snow." ”

Lan Xue looked at Mrs. Xu, who was very angry, and stood up on the table, and pointed at Xu Che with a trembling hand, "You, you unfilial son, how many times do you have to say it for your mother, such a wild girl of unknown origin is here for our Xu family's money, do you think she will be dedicated to you?" If you dare to abandon your parents for such a woman and leave this family, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Mrs. Xu's hand slammed on the table, Lan Xue turned to look at Xu Che, that apricot blossom, do you really like it so much? For her, you, who have never quarreled with Mrs. Xu, actually made her angry like this.

"Mother, why is this so troublesome, how can a child take care of his mother in everything, how can he act so arbitrarily?" He kowtowed his head heavily, over and over again, "I just hope that the mother can fulfill the child this time, and after that, she will obey the mother's teachings." ”

For ten years, she was just silently beside him, but he never asked for anything from himself, so he must find the little hairpin in her mouth, and then marry her.

Mrs. Xu looked at this son who had been acting recklessly, and shook her head helplessly, "That's it, that's it, it's you who marry, and I don't want to interfere too much." Yuchuan beside him helped Mrs. Xu to get up, just took two steps and turned back, "It's just one thing, if you think about your father's level, you have to go to the test to gain fame, but whenever there is a tanhua, you will be given that dowry." ”

He got up vigorously and stuck to Mrs. Xu, and Yuchuan on the side covered his mouth and smiled: "At that moment, it will be troublesome for the young master to send Mrs. back to the courtyard, and I will take advantage of this auspicious day to fold an apricot blossom." ”

"Okay, you Yuchuan, you're playing tricks here, isn't it that you fancy which guy in the house and want to have a meeting with your lover?"

Yuchuan was about to argue, but he heard Mrs. Xu on the side laugh: "Don't worry, if you have a favorite, just be like him and come to such a scene, and the matter will be done." ”

In doing so, all three laughed.

It's just that, in the midst of such laughter, the blue spider on his shoulder drooped a crystal teardrop, thinking that everything he did was for the pink-clothed woman.

Looking through the autumn water so sadly, the blue snow was seen on the ruler of the town and it was late autumn, and the leaves in the courtyard withered.

As soon as Xu Che came back, he rushed to the Shu Theater, and in this empty place, he saw the woman in blue standing under the dead tree at a glance.

"I miss you so much," it was nearly dusk, and no one would come. Xu Che, who couldn't resist his thoughts, hugged her tightly from behind, "I have been hit by Tanhua, and I can marry you." It's just, are you willing to marry me, Lan Xue? ”

She didn't break free from his embrace, she just let his chin lower on her head, but her heart was full of joy. It's just that she has only been with him a few times in human form, and she hasn't even seen her face, how could she say such things so easily? When he was in a dilemma, the man was anxious and spoke vigorously.

"The emerald hairpin you said is really beautiful, if you wear it, it will be as beautiful as a fairy. It's a pity that it was stolen in the inn," he hugged her tightly, for fear that the person in his arms would break free and write a "no" word on his hand, "Lan Xue, you have no name or surname, so I will take it upon myself to let Brother Xing accept you as my goddaughter." If you are willing to marry me Xu Che, you can marry tomorrow as Sister Xinghua. My mother is also fast, and she has already sent a dowry to Xinghua's house today. Fortunately, I had already said hello to Xinghua the day before yesterday, and she will come to pick you up in a while. ”

"Just, would you like to, Lan Xue?"

Xu Che, who had finished speaking so forcefully, slowly let go of the hand that held her tightly, looked at the blue back with great apprehension, and clenched his hands into fists nervously.

It wasn't until the blue figure nodded that he turned his worries to peace, his heart couldn't help but be happy, and he stumbled a little when he spoke, and only said that he was going to prepare for tomorrow's wedding, and then walked away with a spring on his face.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the dreamcatcher net shrouded in black and white has been cracked, so he hurriedly rushed in.

The blue-haired woman kneeling on the ground pulled the corner of Chu Jiu's clothes, helplessly and desperately like grasping a life-saving straw, she buried her head heavily in the ground.

"Please, girl, let her wake up."

At this time, Bai Wuchang came over to thank Chu Jiu, but Hei Wuchang turned to the side of the bed, and the chain in his hand was about to hook the soul of the woman in pink beside Xu Che.

There was a "snap", and the chain was bound by a red rope.

"Do you want to disobey the heavens?" Hei Wuchang shook the chain, and saw that the extended chain was turning towards the apricot blossoms.

The red rope in Chu Jiu's hand shook, and he saw that the top of the bed was overturned and tatters, and a blue light flashed. Chu Jiu, who pulled back the chain, looked at the two people who were well protected with a blue net, and was suddenly startled, looked at the blue-haired woman, and laughed: "It's really funny, two faces that look very similar, either human twins or monsters deliberately transformed into skins." In the past thousands of years, no monster has looked alike to a human, but you have looked exactly the same. ”
