Pingniang wanted to find a stool for the man to sit on, but there was no other furnishings in the room except for a table and a bed.

The man understood her intentions and said, "I'll just stand." ”

She smiled in embarrassment.

The man asked her, "Why did you come back?" ”

"After separating from you, I went back to my hometown in Datong, but within a few years, my mother passed away, and there was always a war there, and it was not safe anywhere, so I left Datong and wandered around, and I finally arrived in the capital after many places."

Ping Niang said and sat down on the edge of the bed in despair. The days of those years were so difficult, and now she feels that every word goes straight to her heart when she mentions it.

The man wanted to comfort her, but no matter how many words he spoke, he was too weak in the face of Pingniang's suffering.

"I've cried so much after eating, but now I can finally see you again, and I have no regrets."

Looking at the satisfied smile on Ping Niang's face, the man only felt a sour feeling in his heart, he had never felt so guilty in his life: "I'm sorry, Ping Niang, I really ......"

Pingniang smiled brighter and brighter: "I didn't expect Xun Lang to remember my name." ”

"I've always remembered." The man sighed and buried his head no lower, "I've married a wife and started a family, I can't live with you, I shouldn't have touched you in the first place, it's all my fault." ”

"I know," Pingniang's smile couldn't hold on any longer, "I don't regret it, I am lucky to meet Xun Lang in my third life." ”

The man couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he heard this, how humble the woman in front of him was! She is still the same as back then, intellectual and gentle, empathetic, no amount of suffering has not changed her temperament, if she didn't meet herself, she would definitely meet a better person, far happier than now.

"I ......," the man coughed to resist the sourness on the tip of his nose, "I will try to compensate you for what you want." ”

After saying that, he regretted it, he could give her gold and silver treasures, fine clothes and food, but he couldn't give her an upright name.

Pingniang shook her head and said, "I don't want anything, I just want Sister Ru to meet her biological father." ”

"What?" The man was shocked by her words, "What Sister Ru?" ”

Pingniang got up, revealing the little man lying behind her.

The man looked at the white and tender girl, the eyebrows and eyes that were quite similar to his own, and tears fell down at once.

"This ...... Is this my daughter? He choked up and asked Pingniang.

Pingniang nodded: "This is our child......"

The man trembled and stroked Sister Ru'er's cheek, so delicate, like fine porcelain, fragile and vulnerable.

Sister Ru was woken up, rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help but be startled when she saw a stranger's face.

Pingniang hurriedly ran over and hugged her in her arms, comforting her: "Sister Ru, don't be afraid, this is Daddy!" ”

"Daddy?" Sister Ru raised her head and looked at the man with her eyes, "Are you Daddy?" ”

"I am!"

Sister Ru threw herself into the man's arms: "Daddy, I miss you so much!" ”

The first time someone called it that, the man just felt that his heart was going to melt.

Pingniang also wiped her tears and said: "Sister Ru has been bullied since she was a child because she didn't have a father, Xun Lang, you don't know how much she wants to see her father, she often asks me why I don't have a father, asks me where my father went, and asks me what kind of person my father is." ”

The man patted Sister Ru'er on the back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, no one will bully you anymore." ”

At this time, someone outside the door coughed abruptly a few times, signaling that the man should go.

The man came back to his senses and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve: "I'll go first, you take this silver and use it for a while." ”

"Daddy!" Sister Ru shouted, her eyes full of anticipation, "Will you come again?" ”

The man's voice was like a mosquito: "I...... I do not know. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, for fear of seeing the disappointed eyes of the mother and daughter. Although he turned his back to them, he could feel that their gazes seemed to turn into a force, dragging him back alive.

The old lady rarely saw a few granddaughters in the second room, and she didn't want Yongning and his party to leave her side early and go back to Hangzhou, so she asked them to go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. A large period of free time, Yongning didn't know how to pass the time, remembering that the last day trip to the capital was unfavorable, so he simply took Yun Toad out to visit the eight scenes of Yanjing, went out every morning, and came back to the willow on the moon.

The weather is also getting drier day by day, and the sound of insects in the yard is getting more and more intense. The doors and windows in Lianyuezhai were wide open, and there was ice left in the house. Despite this, there was still no gust of wind, and no matter how much Jiang Wan'er fanned the fan, the thick slurry heat still couldn't dissipate, sticking to her body and making people bored.

The maid outside the door suddenly said that the third lady was coming. Jiang Wan'er was dying of heat, and she was in no mood to deal with Feng Yongjia at all, so she only lay on the table of the Eight Immortals, and she didn't even move.

Feng Yongjia was not annoyed when she walked in, and said with a smile: "How is my sister?" ”

Jiang Wan'er snorted from the tip of her nose, and she should have replied.

Feng Yongjia put the food box on the table of the Eight Immortals, and after the lid was lifted, Jiang Wan'er only felt a cold air gushing out, mixed with a sweet smell, and the previous heat and stickiness were swept away.

She asked, "What is this?" ”

Feng Yongjia took out a few plates of fruit and a bowl of sour plum soup from it. Because the food box was covered with a layer of ice, it was still emitting white smoke-like cold air when it was taken out.

Feng Yongjia said to her, "Sister taste? ”

Jiang Wan'er glanced at one of the dishes of lychees, full and round, such a big one is really rare, she took one with her hand, and when she bit it open, the juice in it burst out instantly, the flesh was like a beauty's clotted fat, white and tender, without the slightest taste of corruption.

"Can it be saved so well on such a hot day?" Jiang Wan'er was a little puzzled, like the Feng family, eating lychees in summer is not a new thing, but it is really rare to see something like this.

Feng Yongjia said: "This lychee is not picked and then sent over, it is transplanted from the whole lychee tree in Fujian and brought to the pot. Because I was afraid that the land route would be bumpy and the fruits would be shaken down, I deliberately took the water route to send it to the capital. This was originally a tribute to be sent to the palace, but it was only because the concubine Niangniang ate too much this year and hurt her stomach that there were so many more plants. ”

Jiang Wan'er listened to it and kept sending them to her mouth one by one, but she said lightly: "It's okay...... Not bad. ”

Feng Yongjia continued to shake the fan and said: "I don't know what's wrong this summer, it's so hot, the flowers in the yard are dying, and I still sweated when I slept on the bamboo mat a few nights ago." I don't know how comfortable my sister can sleep at night? ”

Jiang Wan'er complained: "Don't mention it, it's hot and annoying, I just feel like I'm in a steamer, and it's useless for the maid to play a fan on the side." ”

Feng Yongjia smiled: "But yesterday I heard that there are a few shops in the jewelry market that sell good jade pillows, the tentacles are moist, and the head resting on the top is not only not hot, but also feels very comfortable." I went to buy one and pillowed it under my head, so I had a good night's sleep last night. ”

When Jiang Wan'er heard this, her eyes widened: "It's really so amazing!" ”

Feng Yongjia said: "What did I lie to my sister about, this jade can still raise people." ”

Unable to take care of those foods, Jiang Wan'er took Feng Yongjia's hand and said excitedly: "You will accompany me to buy it!" There is such a good treasure and he didn't even tell me. ”

The people in the room were scrambling to get ready to go out.
