The night is as cool as water, and people's hearts are even cooler. Zhao Nan was disturbed by the things that have happened one after another these days, and he just wanted to escape, he was a little nostalgic for the moment of purity in Qingjing City and in Lingyuan Valley.

Zhao Nan carried a pot of wine and walked towards the suburbs of Chang'an City, in that remote and uninhabited place, there was a little-known peach blossom forest, although the area and environment could not be compared with Lingyuan Valley, it was already very rare. In early winter, there is not a single leaf or flower on the peach blossom tree, the slender branches are alone in the cold wind, and there are three lonely graves in the depths of the peach blossom tree, which seems to be more silent and desolate here.

One is Zhao Nan's mother Zhang's, one is Zhao Nan's twin sister Zhao Jin, and the other is Chu Chu's clothed mound. He didn't know why he wanted to build another tomb for Chu Chu here, maybe in Zhao Nan's heart, Chu Chu was the only person who could accompany him to say a confidant word, only Chu Chu could share the story buried here with Zhao Nan, since Chu Chu passed away, Zhao Nan has reflected many times, maybe Chu Chu has already had an insurmountable position in his heart, when Chu Chu shared the secret of the Peach Blossom Forest with him for the first time, Zhao Nan felt that they were destined people, the same Peach Blossom Forest, and also hid Zhao Nan's secret, but he didn't say it at that time. Zhao Nan here is always extraordinarily calm, a pot of wine, a belly of talk, and his appearance is suave, cheerful and lively, so that people can't recognize him as such a storyteller.

Zhao Nan's mother, Zhang, never married Zhao Nan's father at all, so she didn't even have the identity of a concubine, except for Tang Changyu, Zhao Nan never told anyone these secrets. Zhao Nan's mother Zhang was originally a singer in Chang'an Huamanlou, Zhao Nan heard his father talk about it, his mother had a good face, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhao Nan's father admired this woman like a fairy like all the young and vigorous young men in Chang'an. Although Zhao Nan's mother is committed to spending a lot of money, she is like Mingfu who is a performer and not a person, which makes Zhao Nan's father more pitiful, and also makes Zhao Nan feel a sense of pity when he hears Mingfu's story.

Young people are always young and crazy, when Zhao Nan's parents fell in love with each other and fell in love, it was not surprising that they were opposed by all the elders of the Zhao family, at that time Zhao Nan's father already had a wife and a son, and it was a political marriage arranged by the family, but Zhao Nan's mother didn't care about those worldly eyes, put everything aside, and was with Zhao Nan's father regardless of everything.

But Zhao Nan's father did not resist the pressure from the family, after all, he was responsible for Zhao Nan's mother, at that time Zhao Nan's mother was pregnant, and the wedding dress that had been made died with the joy of being able to marry a lover, Zhao Nan's mother was like ashes, and gave birth to a pair of children and died, except for these two poor children and a portrait, she probably only left endless love for Zhao Nan's father in this world.

Zhao Nan's father knew that he had failed this woman who loved him deeply and loved him deeply, and took Zhao Nan and Zhao Jin back to the house despite everyone's opposition, Zhao Nan's mother had no name and could not be buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhao family, Zhao Nan's father personally chose this quiet and beautiful place for her.

Zhao Nan's twin sister is called Zhao Jin, inherited her mother's beauty, and has been praised by everyone since she was a child, what is even more strange is that this Zhao Jin gave birth to a body fragrance, and everywhere she goes, she brings bursts of fragrance, she is really a little girl who loves everyone, when she was three years old, other people's children are still busy making trouble for her father, Zhao Jin can already sing a few simple songs, and she dances with a good look, it is simply carved out of a mold with her mother, and Zhao Nan's father loves her even more.

It's a pity that Zhao Nan's father was busy with government affairs at that time, and the family neglected to take care of him, and Zhao Jin's little girl, who was already outstanding and coveted, was abducted by someone else, and there has been no news for more than ten years, Zhao Nan's father couldn't stand such a blow, and fell ill all of a sudden, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden.

In the past ten years, the Zhao family has never given up looking for this elf-like little girl, but Zhao Nan is still young, he doesn't remember much, and he has never seen his mother, even if his sister is similar to his mother, he can't find it, and besides, the person's appearance has changed so much, whether Zhao Jin is alive now, and what has become, they have no way of knowing, this sea of people is so big, finding someone is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although Zhao Nan is an illegitimate child, he is not a noble son-in-law, let alone a young son who should be favored, but the father's love and care he gets should be invincible among the brothers in the family. Zhao Nan has been thinking about it since he grew up, I don't know if his father is out of guilt for his mother and sister to make extra compensation, he doesn't know if his father is entangled in whether he really loves his mother, and he knows that one day you see your father alone in the study caressing the beautiful face on the portrait and crying, and his father's white hair flickering in the candlelight, Zhao Nan really understands that for so many years, his father has always loved his mother and loved him deeply.

Today, Zhao Nan was upset, because of Tang Changyu and Liuning, and because of Wanyan. Zhao Nan had learned almost everything about the matter from Wanyan, he didn't realize that maybe he was now the person who thought he knew the truth of the matter best except for Liuning and Liubin, and he always had some faint uneasiness in his heart, this uneasiness came from Wanyan, he always felt that there was a shocking conspiracy brewing behind Wanyan, but he couldn't read anything from that plain appearance.

The whole thing plays a key role, and the person who fuels the fire can be said to be the princess of Huajin, but it is Wanyan who guides all this behind it. And what happened that night, although Zhao Nan would be cynical, he would not be so difficult to hold himself, Zhao Nan couldn't figure it out, raised the wine jar in his hand and poured wine down, his fingers brushed over Ding Chuchu's cold tombstone, and smiled bitterly.

And in the whole thing, the most calm may be Yun Qing, maybe because she saw through her ending early in the morning, maybe she has already experienced more twists and turns, she believes that everything will be fine, she has no choice but to believe so, Yun Qing's hand touched her stomach, smiled sweetly and happily, and picked up the needle and thread to sew clothes for her child one by one, her face was full of happiness, as if everything was as usual, and Liubin was still around.

Lin Yilan and Wen Hai were afraid that Yun Qing would not be able to think about anything, and they were entrusted by the brothers and sisters who stayed in the family, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, and wanted to go to Mingfu to accompany Yun Qing, but they didn't see Mingfu's figure, the two of them didn't know why, but they didn't dig deeper, they sat side by side at the door of Yun Qing's room, looking at the starry sky, chatting as usual, and paying attention to the sound inside the door.

As he spoke, the topic turned to recent events, Wen Hai said in a rare serious and worried manner: "Brother Lan, your father, my father, are also in a high position in the court, this time each of them has not been spared, even a high-ranking and powerful courtier like Brother Changyu, who is extremely favored by the emperor, will collapse overnight, I am suddenly so worried......

Lin Yilan looked at the usually well-protected Wen family's eldest lady who suddenly became worried about the country and the people one day, but she was a little uncomfortable, looked at the sky, and said lightly: "You also know, I have never wanted to take over our Lin family's family business, except that I feel that I have no place for myself under the light of my father, more I don't want to participate in the ups and downs of this sea of eunuchs, I don't want to let myself be deeply involved in it, I think it's good to have a good time now playing in the mountains and rivers and chanting poetry." ”

Wen Hai's eyes stared at Lin Yilan very gently, this indissoluble gentleness, Lin Yilan had never paid attention to it, even he didn't know whether Wen Hai played a childhood sweetheart's playmate or an affectionate lover in his life, just like he looked up at the starry sky at this time, he couldn't see the emotions condensed in Wen Hai's eyes.

Wen Hai wants to have a future with Lin Yilan, but he doesn't know where this future is, Wen Hai's father set a family affair for her a long time ago, the other party is the gentleman's son, Li Mingyi, who had a dispute with Tang Changyu on the street, Wen Hai naturally refused, the Wen family was still thinking about it, just the previous turmoil made the Wen family suspend thinking about this matter, Wen Hai quietly ran out to play with Lin Yilan again, and even delayed this matter again and again, now that the turmoil has subsided, Wen Hai has returned to Chang'an, and the problems that should be faced are to be faced after all. Wen Hai didn't know if his father would have made the decision for him.

Wen Hai didn't know how to say all these years of wishful thinking, Wen Hai said to Lin Yilan, he didn't understand, he could only ask in a plain tone as always: "Brother Lan, but you are the only one in your family who can inherit your father's family business, do you really plan to live happily like this all the time, and don't ask about the world?" ”

Lin Yilan nodded calmly, as if all the future was in his plan, but he didn't know if there was a location for Wen Hai in this blueprint, Lin Yilan was calm and relaxed, and said indifferently: "There is wine today and drunk today, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you know mine." The corners of Lin Yilan's mouth hooked up a wry smile, as if she was laughing at herself, and she thought she was laughing at fate, so she asked Wen Hai: "Aren't you going home?" It's not like that, you're a girl, and you're hanging out with me all day. ”

Wen Hai lowered his head and smiled, what Lin Yilan said was really interesting, Wen Hai shook his head and said lightly: "Don't go back, I've been mixed up for so many years, do you still care about how many days?" ”

Lin Yilan turned his head abruptly and smiled indifferently at Wen Hai, Wen Hai was startled, and hurriedly put away his exposed emotions, and smiled at Lin Yilan's light eyes, which were so bright and moving, it only made people feel that the stars in the sky had fallen into his eyes. Lin Yilan rubbed Wen Hai's hair intimately, changed the topic, and the two chatted again and again, as if they were deliberately avoiding those heavy topics until dawn.

This heavy night, after finally revealing the first ray of white light in the sky, opened a new chapter.
