Xiao Ziling followed behind the young man. Walk towards the backyard of the silk village.

Walk through a long and narrow corridor with twists and turns. After bypassing a few clumps of green bamboo, we turned to a small two-story building. There is a door plaque hanging in front of the hall on the first floor. It reads "Drinking Water Building" in three big characters. The handwriting is handsome, revealing a trace of beauty. It seems to be the hand of a woman.

The man walked into the hall with Zi Ling. One step into the hall. He shouted excitedly, "Master, master. Come out and see who's coming...... Master, master......"

Saw. A tall, burly man stepped out of the room. Dressed in a taupe gown. Feet on black cloth shoes. The hair is not tied up. but it is draped over the shoulders. Only a few strands of hair on the forehead were tied up at the back of the head. There is a trace of vicissitudes in the resolute eyes. The man walked into the hall. Then he looked at Zi Ling steadily. I secretly thought to myself: Who is this handsome and delicate "man".

Originally. Zhan Zhan only said that he wanted to come to "Yulin Ling Silk Village", but he never told Ziling who he was looking for. Therefore. Zi Ling didn't recognize the man. I looked at him for a moment. Doubts in my heart: This man ...... Why are you so eye-catching. Where have you seen it?

Zi Ling tried to search through his memories in his mind. But he still didn't remember who the man in front of him was. I was about to ask. Out of the room came another elegant young woman: "Who is here......

The young woman had a beautiful countenance. Willow eyebrows and peach cheeks. The round arm is as white as a tender lotus root. The top and bottom of the mix exude a mature and quiet charm. Saw young young woman. Xiao Ziling was stunned. She stared incredulously at the young woman's eyes as clear and crystal clear as black onyx. Asked softly, "Liu ...... Liu Wanruo."

"Concubine Xiao." Hear "him" gentle and sweet female voice. Liu Wanruo also recognized Xiao Ziling. I was so excited. A pair of clear black eyes opened wide. There was a surprise in his eyes that could not be hidden. She stepped in front of Xiao Ziling in two or three steps. Holding Xiao Ziling's hand tightly. Excitedly asked, "Is it really you. XIAO Guifei. Is it really you?"

Xiao Ziling couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. Hold Liu Wanruo's hand tightly. With a smile on his face, he said, "It's me. It's me. I'm Xiao Ziling."

No see for years. Liu Wanruo has changed a lot. She went from a weak and boneless graceful woman. became a plump and round, graceful young woman. There is a mature charm between the eyebrows. When he smiled, his eyes overflowed with happiness. Seemingly. There is the nourishment of love, the freedom of uninhibitedness, and the care of Chutian. Liu Wanruo is doing well.

And what about Xiao Ziling. Over the years. She endured hardships in that earthly purgatory. I lost my best friend, I lost my child, I lost my freedom, I lost my youth. At last. and gave up love. Enduring both physical and mental suffering. How could she be "wide-hearted and fat". Therefore. She is compared to Xiao Ziling in Liu Wanruo's memory. I lost a lot of weight. He was also much haggard.

Original. The man who didn't recognize Xiao Ziling at first. It's Chutian. After hearing Liu Wanruo call "Xiao Guifei". Only then did Chu Tian reflect. Original. The handsome "man" standing in front of him is the benefactor he and Liu Wanruo have been looking forward to for a long time. Xiao Ziling.

Chu Tian hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Xiao Ziling: "Chu Tian has seen the noble concubine. I didn't recognize the mother. It's rude. Don't be surprised."

Xiao Ziling hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Chu doesn't need to be polite. I'm no longer a concubine. Moreover. Out of the palace. I'm not the emperor's concubine. Today. We are not kings and servants. It's a friend who has been reunited for a long time."

Liu Wanruo was overjoyed and took Xiao Ziling's hand and said, "Sister, hurry inside, please. I'll go and tell my servants to prepare a few dishes. My sister's dinner is here. Let's talk."

Speaking of dinner. Xiao Ziling then remembered that he had slipped out for a long time. If you don't go back quickly. Meng Hongyu estimated that he would send someone to search Hangzhou City. Therefore. Xiao Ziling hurriedly declined Liu Wanruo's kindness: "Sister Liu's kindness Zi Lingxin has received it. But Ziling sneaked out of the palace without the emperor's knowledge. If it's too late. I'm afraid it will make the emperor suspicious. You don't need to have dinner. Let's have a cup of tea and catch up."

Liu Wanruo obeyed her wishes. Warmly invited her into the living room. Then he instructed the maidservant to fry the water of the spring of the tiger running to the spring. Brew a pot of good Longjing tea. The smell of tea in the house is fragrant. It makes people feel instantly refreshed.

The three of them are seated as the guest of honor. Divide the tea and taste. Chu Tian finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart. Hurriedly asked Xiao Ziling impatiently: "Brother Zhan's business. Chu has already heard about it...... Is that true?"

Hearing Chu Tian ask about Zhan Zhan. Liu Wanruo's expression couldn't help but become solemn. Sadly, he asked faintly, "Brother Zhan...... Did you really commit suicide in prison?"

Zi Ling put down the tea in his hand. Sighed softly. He said sadly, "Yes. Brother Zhan...... It's to protect me. will ...... But. I've avenged him......"

Liu Wanruo heard Ziling say this. I couldn't help but burst into tears. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in my heart. The voice also choked up: "At the beginning. . . Guifei Niangniang and Brother Zhan saved me and Xianggong. This deep gratitude. We will never forget it in our lifetime. But...... Great favor is not repaid. Brother Zhan ......" said and said. Liu Wanruo couldn't help crying like rain. The jade slave stood beside Zi Ling. I can't help but feel sad......

"Back then. After leaving the capital, Wanruo and I began to wander the world. No fixed residence. Wandering and suffering...... This is painful. It's hard to be humane to outsiders either. Later. We arrived in Hangzhou. The climate here is pleasant, the wind and rain are smooth, the products are abundant, and the literary style is prosperous. Far away from the capital...... Hangzhou is a gathering place for business travelers. There are also many outsiders living in the city. Therefore, I am not afraid that it will arouse suspicion. We stayed here......"

"After all. We fugitives...... Fear of being discovered. It can affect the family. Therefore, I did not dare to go back to my hometown...... When I arrived in Hangzhou. We are penniless. Down and out...... Rely on me to do some hard work for the big families. Earn some money to get by...... Someday. I actually met Brother Zhan in Hangzhou. Brother Zhan funded us a sum of money...... opened a silk shop...... Business is getting better and better. This is now this silk village...... It's like giving birth to a son and a daughter...... If it weren't for the mother's rescue. Now. I and I seem to have been wandering in the wilderness for a long time. A few dry bones in the loess mound......"

Xiao Ziling sat next to him and drank tea quietly. Listen carefully to Chu Tian's experience over the years with emotion. on his face. There is no grief in describable form. There is also indescribable happiness. Liu Wanruo sat beside Chu Tian. Raise your head and gaze at him affectionately. A face of gratitude and happiness. Though. For love. They were born and died, tread on thorns and seal their blood, and were born again through fires and tribulations. However. It is the only husband and wife who can share weal and woe, rely on each other, and share blessings. It's the real enviable fairy couple, right?

Life. If you can meet such an unswerving infatuated man. can also get such an immortal love that is solid. So. Zi Ling really died without regrets.

As soon as I heard Chu Tian mention Xiao Ziling's life-saving grace back then. Liu Wanruo couldn't help but smile and said to Xiao Ziling: "Our husband and wife have never forgotten our sister's life-saving grace. DID YOU KNOW. Why is this building called 'Drinking House'?"

Only then did Zi Ling remember the door plaque he saw before entering the door. Suddenly realized: "Isn't it taken from the meaning of 'drinking water and thinking of the source'."

Liu Wanruo smiled and nodded, "That's right. I want my children and grandchildren to remember the 'drink water and think of the source. Don't forget' and 'the grace of dripping. When the spring reciprocates'.sister's kindness. We will remember it for generations to come."

Xiao Ziling smiled and said, "Sister Liu is really serious. I'm just accumulating blessings and virtues for myself."... To know. The reason why Xiao Ziling wanted to save Liu Wanruo and Chu Tian at the beginning. It's just because I can't bear to see that this pair of lovers who fight for love will really die for love. I can't bear to see innocent people die innocently. She never thought about it. One day, Liu Wanruo and Chu Tian should return her love.

"How did my sister find her here?" Liu Wanruo then remembered and asked Xiao Ziling.

"Brother Zhan has already told me...... Yulin Ling Silk Village. The name is so poetic. Of course, it's not hard to find...... I walked all the way to find it. I found it." Xiao Ziling replied with a smile. Suddenly. She asked curiously: "'The twilight is heavy and Chu Tiankuo' is probably because Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell" has the word 'Chutian'. Is this silk village named 'Yulin Bell'?"

Liu Wanruo praised from the bottom of her heart: "My sister is really smart. It was immediately apparent. The name of the shop. It was also taken by Brother Zhan at the beginning. Brother Zhan said that his sister usually likes to read some euphemisms. I have a soft spot for Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell". Therefore, we named our silk shop 'Yulin Bell'. Therefore. We are also very satisfied. For so many years. I didn't think about changing ......."

Chu Tian laughed loudly. Said briskly: "I'm a vulgar person in Chu. I don't know any poetry. But I like it very much. I like it."

Liu Wanruo glanced at Chu Tian with disgust. He turned his head to Xiao Ziling and said, "Now. We are incognito. Brother Chu simply changed his name to 'Chu Tiankuo'."

Chu Tian hurriedly took over and said, "I helped Wanruo also choose a name. I took two words from the sentence 'all the doors drink without a clue'. The neighborhood calls her 'Wu Xu.'"

WU Xu. No clue. What a name. Carefree and thoughtless. Only like Liu Wanruo. Leave the palace that imprisons youth and freedom. In order to be carefree and thoughtless. Wish. She was able to make this trip. A ladder to happiness can be found......

Xiao Ziling smiled: "It seems. I'm going to have to come up with a name from this song. Late again. My favorite word is going to be divided up by you." Liu Wanruo couldn't help laughing when he said one sentence.

After laughing. Liu Wanruo asked solemnly, "What about that...... Brother Zhan can tell you."

Hearing Liu Wanruo mention "that incident", Xiao Ziling couldn't help but get serious. He nodded solemnly and said, "I've said it all. Brother Zhan said that he had arranged everything......"

"You're ...... What do you think?" Chu Tian asked suspiciously.

"The sky is high and the birds fly. The sea is wide and the fish jumps." Xiao Ziling said with a smile. I hope you ...... Give me a pair of wings......"

Chu Tian nodded knowingly. Thereupon. The three of them began to "conspire"......
