The general stabilized his emotions, tried to soften his voice, and asked You'er, "You'er, you told your father, who taught you this?" “

"It's my mother." You'er's fleshy little hands wiped his tears, he didn't understand what his father meant by asking and answered truthfully.

"When did my mother tell you?" The general asked, Chu Nian's death was an accident, why did she seem to know that she was going to die, and told You'er like this, You'er was only more than three years old at the time, how could she remember this sentence?

"It's what my mother told me many times." Many times, You'er's answer made the general even more confused.

"You'er, tell your little mother-in-law, what do you remember when your mother-in-law is there?" Maybe You'er really remembers something, maybe even how Chu Nian died.

"Well, little mother, let me tell you, You'er's mother is beautiful, as beautiful as the little mother, the food made by the mother is delicious, the mother always accompanies You'er, and tells You'er a lot of stories, it seems that it will never be finished, unlike the father who is always not at home with You'er, will the little mother also tell stories to You'er...... ". Seeing Jing Ning nodded, You'er continued to speak in a milky voice, she couldn't stop, the mother in the child's memory is so perfect, and the story of the mother in You'er's perspective is often not even remembered by the general.

He didn't know what to say, maybe You'er really remembered something, and he hoped that those words weren't said by Chu Nian, so that he might not miss her so much.

Jing Ning listened to You'er seriously, and played with him for a long time, until it finally rained on a cloudy day.

Afraid that You'er would catch a cold and get worse, he ordered the maid to take him back to the house to rest. You'er was unhappy and reluctant to give up on Jing Ning, until Jing Ning promised him to come to see him every day in the future, and then returned to the room satisfied.

"Is it convenient to walk with me?" The two watched You'er enter the room, and the general politely asked Jing Ning.

Jing Ning didn't know how to refuse, so she nodded lightly, and the general took the umbrella behind him and told them to retreat.

"I'll just make my own umbrella." Jing Ning carefully avoided getting too close to the general and chose to hold an umbrella alone.

"Okay, let's go to Yanziyuan, I have something I want you to see." The general changed his usual toughness and carefully asked for permission.

"Okay."

In the smoke and rain, the raindrops slapped the ground one after another, cracking into countless tiny water droplets, and the whole ground was covered with layers of "smoke" atomized by water droplets. Fortunately, You'er's residence is not far from Yanziyuan, and when the two arrived, their clothes were slightly soaked by the rain.

"It's raining heavily." After Jing Ning said this meaningless nonsense, she regretted it again and again, the two of them were silent all the way, she didn't know what the general's attitude towards You'er was to herself just now, whether she would think that she wanted to take the place of the first lady, she was inexplicably scared along the way, until she entered the garden, inside the house, she found a way to break the silence, but the opening was a little clumsy.

"You wait for me, I'll find something." The general didn't care what she said.

"Okay." She could only obediently obey the general's arrangement.

Not long after, the general pulled out two paintings in the room. Motioning for Jing Ning to lean over to the table, Jing Ning walked over obediently, not daring to speak.

The painting is a woman with a beautiful face, wearing a crimson wedding dress, the gold and silver threads embroidered on the wedding dress are meticulously drawn, the person in the painting is vivid, Jing Ning knows that the gorgeous person is the general's first wife, the first thought, the woman she once admired but never seen, for some reason, she is no different from what she imagined.

The pale blue sleeved skirt on the other painting is still depicted in detail, however, the painting stands quietly, however, the painter lacks to outline her face.

"This is when she got married. I painted it, at that time she was wearing this wedding dress that I had chosen for a long time, and when I saw her wearing this wedding dress, I still panicked, how could there be such a beautiful person, giving me a sense of security for no reason. “

The general put down the first somewhat worn painting that he had flipped through, picked up the other one, and sighed: "This one was painted by me after she left, in this scene she had just given birth to You'er for a few months, and it happened that the apricot blossoms in the courtyard were blooming one after another, and she quietly looked at the flying flowers, and I looked at her quietly from a distance, I remembered that she existed, but the more I looked at the face I had painted for her, the more I couldn't remember what she looked like, as if her departure had cruelly taken away my ability to draw her face." “
