"Boss, let's have a pot of wine!" A burly man shouted from a table. I saw a girl in her twenties on the bed in the curtain, born like a fairy in the sky, dressed in light veil, enchanting and not half tacky, that girl was the owner of this wine shop.

The girl's long curly eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes, and her moving eyes glanced at the big man, and then she slowly got up and went to the counter to get the bartending utensils. The strong man shook his head and began to speak to himself:

"It rained heavily that day, and I was a small soldier at the time, and I had the privilege of going out with the general. She held her hand at the rain, walked towards us, and looked up at me, those eyes, I will never forget...... Later, we got together, so logically, my official became bigger and bigger, and everything seemed to be developing for the better, until the emperor issued a holy decree. ”

The proprietress put the wine on the table and leaned against the pillar behind her, and the big man paused and continued:

"At that time, I had no money, and I didn't have a wedding banquet with her, but only my grandmother. She was happy and quiet, and she was not promoted later, and the brothers around me still thought that I had not yet married a wife, and after I refuted it, I thought I was embarrassed, and pushed the girl to my side a few times and stopped after I refused. Who would have thought that the emperor would marry the princess to me, he is the emperor, I am a minister, how dare I resist the decree. After the princess entered the house, she was found in a few days, and the princess did not cry or make trouble and did not report to the emperor. I told her that I would not fall in love with the princess. At this time, the general guarding the frontier was injured, and I asked for orders to go to the frontier, although the emperor was displeased, fortunately he agreed. The night before leaving, I cut out a paragraph and sent it to her, and I told her that I married and loved each other. I thought this was a chance for God to give me an escape from reality, who knows...... In the second year after I left, a letter came from Chang'an, written by the housekeeper of the house, and she left, dying under the long whip of the princess, clutching my strand of hair tightly in her hand......"

The proprietress handed over the wine in her hand.

"Tick", a tear dripped down his resolute face into the cup, and the woman's face slowly appeared in the cup, and disappeared in an instant, as if it was an illusion. He picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and muttered as if demented: "This wine is as gentle as her......"

"And then?" A clear voice came. The proprietress smiled and said:

"The general resigned, retired the princess, scolded the emperor fiercely on the Jinluan Palace, and returned to the place where he met the woman for the first time, and carved a tombstone for the woman with his own hands, which read, Guan Wu's wife."

He thought that the country he was guarding had a holy monarch, a beloved wife, close family and friends, but in the end, it was only endless loneliness and endless desolation.

Death is a selfish and just thing, and he won't let me be with you.

"Hey~" I don't know who let out a long sigh, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet wine shop.

The proprietress didn't seem to hear it, and played with the peach hairpin in her hand, looking a little dazed.
