It was a terrible night.

Xu is cold wind swept his body, and the strength of the wine radiated for a while. Before Xunyue and I could come to their senses, Hou Ye fell back and sat down on the chair with weak feet.

I was panicked for a moment and had no idea, but I was still clever and called my subordinates to carry the unconscious Hou Ye back to Yiyunzhai.

After tossing for half a night, I finally settled down, and I and Xunyue in the warm pavilion felt so embarrassed for the first time that the master and servant were together.

I watched her tidy up the outer hall alone, and went into the warm pavilion as usual to serve me to wash up and sleep, and for a long time she seemed to have a dumb tongue, and never asked me a word about her pushing the door and bumping into me.

And I'm not as good as Turbidity, my face is red and hot, and I don't have the courage to look up at her eyes. In the end, she seized the opportunity to lift the curtain and answered, but she didn't see her look clearly, only when she blew the candle and bypassed the screen, she vaguely saw the back of the hurried away and fluttering clothes in the moonlight.

Sleepless nights.

The next morning, when the turbid moon woke me up, I had changed the embarrassed look I wanted to cover up yesterday, and replaced it with the same intimacy and brightness as before. I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thanked Xunyue for giving this step, and the master and servant talked and laughed as usual, and the enthusiasm was still the same, as if what happened last night had never happened.

After dressing up, Xunyue took me to Yiyunzhai to visit Hou Ye, but when I saw that the door was closed, the subordinate who came out to reply looked guilty, telling us that Hou Ye had a cold wind last night, and he was too old to drink, but he was infected with the wind cold.

I was naturally worried, and I was about to enter the house to visit without saying anything, but I felt that there seemed to be a momentary twitch in the hand of Xunyue beside me, and then I suddenly realized that after last night's incident, I was too intimate with Hou Ye, which would inevitably make her more careful. After a little struggle, in the end, he still had the rules and regulations, and he gracefully helped the hand of the turbidity moon and returned to the small courtyard.

"Turbidity..."Back in my room, I still couldn't hold back, "Actually, what happened last night—"

"-Last night, it was the slave who opened the door recklessly, which made the Hou Ye catch the cold." Xunyue closed the door, and took the tongs to pick up the red-hot rosin charcoal and said, "This matter is not the girl's fault, you are innocent and frank, you really don't need to explain anything to the slave maid." ”

"But," I hesitated, "are you really not mistaken about anything?" ”

"Girl, the slave has been with you for so long, and knows your character best. Not to mention that Hou Ye, as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, is polite and upright, which is seen by the whole world. If you think that the slave and maid doubt the innocence of the two of you because of the trivial matter of last night, you will really underestimate the slave and maid. ”

Turbidity Moon shoved the refilled hand stove into my hand, and An Tian grinned steadily. "The charcoal fire has just been distributed in each courtyard, and we are in short supply here. It happened that the Hou Ye was sick and couldn't be treated, so the slave took someone to the treasury in the house to carry some back, and by the way, he took some iron wire and steel plates, pen and ink canvas. Taking advantage of the early winter morning and afternoon is still sunny and warm, let's make a kite again, so that we can release it for half a month, and there will be more chances to find your friends! ”

I was slightly stunned, and then the warmth welled up in my heart, and I agreed with a smile. Xunyue also smiled sweetly at me, and after a blessing, she pushed the door and was discharged from the hospital.

My heart is warm and steady, maybe this is the reason why Lifu has made me feel at home for more than a month. Even if there are doubts about my identity; If there is a misunderstanding of my words and deeds, they will always choose to trust unconditionally. Although it was inevitably a little embarrassing last night, I have to say that I benefited a lot, I didn't expect that the young Turbidity Moon would be so sensible and understanding.

And I didn't expect that on the eve of parting, I would be able to listen to Hou Ye talk about his past memories, those bits and pieces that have been buried in his heart for more than 40 years but can not be forgotten.

Life has this confidant, what more can the husband ask for.

Bosom friend... Thinking of these two words, I couldn't help but feel sour again.

The previous self was fortunate to have three lives, surrounded by so many confidants and friends. It's just that I was immersed in the malaise of losing my relationship at that time, and I didn't know how to cherish their care, and I didn't have time to recognize my dependence on them.

The reason why waiting is beautiful is because one day that person suddenly looks back, frustration turns into warmth, sadness turns into moving, holding the hand of the son, and depends on each other.

Perhaps, for Mo Yunxia, I am the girl who didn't have time to be warmly moved by his waiting.

But even so, he is still the biggest motivation and responsibility for me to find a way to get back. Because for Xiaoli, everyone may have done all the effort they could. But for Yun Xia, every decision I made that day was selfish, cruel and unforgivable. I should go back, of course, I don't dare to ask him to keep his heart for me, but at least, I should go back to him and sincerely say sorry to him again.

The days of silent guarding, and the days of hard searching... That's what I owe him.

"Run for me, give this to General Wen Zhaowen of the Outer Garden Battalion, and tell him that everything is in order, although the Hou Ye is sick, he will not delay his trip tomorrow." I thought for a moment and added in a low voice, "Don't be too public, so as not to disturb others." ”

The guards at the door took the copper token and turned away. I stood at the gate of the courtyard anxiously, and in less than a moment I saw another soldier dressed as a Praetorian Guard running from the corner of the road, and when he saw me, he only waved slightly, and then approached my ear.

"The general received the girl's words, there is no need to be tomorrow, please ask the girl to clean up tonight, and the general will meet you in the peach forest in the garden of the house." The Praetorian Guard's voice was extremely low, "The government soldier who sent you the message is quite clever, the general has left him on an errand in the camp, and someone will take turns to guard the courtyard for you later, the girl is at ease." ”

Some people are confused - why do you want to go to Taolin to meet when you don't go to the mansion when you go out of the house?

Although he was surprised, he didn't ask much. Wen Zhao is so old and cautious, even the government soldiers who pass the word back and forth do not leave a trace, although they will not be misarranged. I went back to the room, followed the example of the turbid moon and the sun, and stirred the gray charcoal in the charcoal basin twice, lifted the curtain and returned to the warm pavilion, and repeatedly looked at the Chinese clothes and beautiful clothes in the cabinet, and made up the dazzling hairpin ring jewelry in the drawer, but I didn't know which one to take away.

I like Qinglan and blue, Hou Ye knew that he had a thought, and most of the jewelry and clothes sent to my yard were to his liking, olive peacock violet green seal, pomegranate jade Changpan jade... At a glance, it is really refreshing.

I was a little stunned, not because I didn't give up these Chinese things, but because I thought that they were all appreciated by the Hou Ye, and I didn't think about them all. This time he left, Hou Ye refused to let people go easily, and the matter involved Wen Zhao, so he could only say goodbye.

Hou Ye is sick now, but when he wakes up, he has to bear the pain of his year-old confidant who is as truly cherished as his own daughter and leaves indifferently.

Thinking of this section, I felt more and more sad and ashamed, and when I was about to cry, I only heard the sound of the door opening outside, but it was the turbid moon who came back from the warehouse. I couldn't help but sniff and force a look of joy to go out, watching her support her subordinates to put all the ingredients for making kites on the table, and then add firewood and charcoal to the charcoal basin that was about to be extinguished. I was so busy that I didn't get free until the temperature in the room slowly warmed up again.

"Sure enough, the girl was eager to find a friend, and she couldn't wait to do it when she got the things back." Xunyue took the iron wire in my hand, stood aside and continued to arrange, "Also, although Master Hou is old, his body has always been healthy and rarely sick. Now it's rare to get caught in the cold, and the government can't take care of it. In this way, the girl was also free. If this kite is not made in these two days, the Hou Ye will come to our courtyard every day, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to fly to the sky! ”

"Broken mouth, it's not annoying! It's really our old saying, if you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you're not afraid of flashing your tongue? I gestured to twist Turbidity's mouth, and smiled and pressed her down in a chair. I promised my mother-in-law in the coming day, forgive me for daring to be so sharp with your husband on the night of the candles in the cave room? ”

"The girl dislikes me too much, why bother to say these nonsense words to get rid of me!" In the end, the little girl's family was simple-minded, and when she heard this, her face flushed, and she pouted and stared at the more and more chaotic lines in her hand. "The slave and maid are not blessed, they do not have a good life to marry someone in the pavilion, and they can serve the girl with peace of mind until they are old. It's you, who is not self-conscious in talking every day, and you don't have to ask people to gossip, and you have lost your noble identity. ”

"Oh?" I saw that Xunyue was embarrassed, so I had to accept it and say, "Tell me, what did I say that they listened to, and they gossiped in the house?" ”

"It's nothing else..."Xunyue was a little embarrassed, and the blush on her face didn't fade for a long time, "It's just that Hou Ye treats you kindly every day, so naturally there are inevitably unreasonable villains who chew their tongues behind their backs......"

"Is there such a thing? Xunyue, you can make it clearer, "I can't help but feel a little uneasy for a while when it comes to the reputation of the Hou Ye, "What did they say, did they say something ugly?" ”

"It's not hard to hear, it's just that after all, Master Hou hasn't married for decades, and you are a girl in the prime of life......" Turbidity Moon carefully considered, for fear that I would be stinging when I heard it, "People outside have dirty minds, so they make up some romantic stories for people to enjoy." But in the final analysis, only those low-class scholars have such vulgar tastes, and those really stylish writers and disdain to spread rumors-"

"What kind of romance, Tang Tang is a great marquis, how noble his identity is, can they arrange it at will!" A chill suddenly came from my heart, and I vaguely felt that things seemed to be more complicated than they seemed on the surface, "Turbidity, have you ever paid attention, can those people who have been chewing their tongues in the Hou Mansion have any dealings with people outside the mansion?" ”

"Girl, don't worry too much, it involves you and Hou Ye's reputation, General Wen has already checked inside and outside the Hou Mansion." Xunyue saw my thoughts, and hurriedly reassured, "Lord Hou has gone through three dynasties, and this kind of rumor alone will never shake his old man's status in the court or in the emperor's heart. According to the previous news, your matter has not caused too many storms in the DPRK and China, and it is nothing more than that the market is less clean and there are many rights and wrongs in the market. ”

"Rumors... Even if it's in the market, in the end, it's also detrimental to the reputation of the Hou Ye......" I sighed weakly, and then thought that I was about to leave, and the matter was finally out of control, and I felt a little comforted in my heart. "That's it, I can't complain about others, in the end, the matter started because of me, and it has to be finished with me, so it will be over......"
