In the seventh year of Jianzhao, a small village near Xiliang in the north ushered in the first snow here.

The man came back from outside, a layer of snow fell on his body, and after entering the door, Yun Kai hurriedly went up to help him dust it off, and then gestured with his hand and asked, "Is it cold?" ”

After asking, I was annoyed, how could I not be cold.

"It's fine." Faintly replied, Shen Mu handed her the things he bought from the market, and unloaded his hat by himself, "It's about to be the New Year, so I bought more." ”

Yun Kai put his things away, pointed to the back room to him, and told him that he had prepared bath water for him.

"Don't bother..."

Pushing him in, he had been lying in bed for more than half a month because of the wind chill last time, so Yun Kai was particularly concerned about his body.

"Yunkai, Chinese New Year's Eve should be quite lively."

Through the door, she heard Shen Mu talking to herself. Yun Kai was cutting the vegetables by himself, and if he couldn't answer, he wouldn't answer, the two of them had always communicated like this, and it was good to get used to it.

"I'll take you to see it then."

The corners of her mouth went up, she was very happy, there was still some time before Chinese New Year's Eve, she could make two sets of cotton clothes to keep warm.

"I'm afraid Kyoto is crowded at this time, and the street market is noisy.....

The action of chopping vegetables slowed down, she actually missed Kyoto very much, but she didn't know why, when Shen Mu mentioned the words, she felt awkward in her heart.

"Yunkai, let's go back and have a look."

The sound of chopping vegetables has completely stopped, and it has been going on for years, but there are some people and things he just can't forget.

On the way to Kyoto, Shen Mu drove, and Yunkai sat in the car.

They have been married for a few years, but they have always been like brothers and sisters, only in the name of husband and wife, but not in the reality of husband and wife. Yunkai sometimes feels wronged, and secretly cries at night, but what can be done, is she bent on marrying him, knowing that he has someone else in his heart.

When the two of them arrived in Kyoto, it was more lively than before, which shows that Xunyu has governed the country very well, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that there is now this prosperous scene.

"I heard that during the Shangyuan Festival this year, the emperor and queen will have fun with the people in the city tower."

"Really? The emperor and queen have a harmonious relationship, which is really a blessing for the north, and now even those high-ranking officials and nobles have followed suit, monogamy, and the family does not accept concubines. ”

"But no, doesn't Lord Zaisuke-sama also have only one wife?"

"So does the little grandfather."

"His Royal Highness King Qin is too."

The people were chatting and gossiping, and their faces were full of joy, monogamy, how many grievances and disputes in the house were avoided, the husband and wife were harmonious, and even the disputes between the concubines were much less, and the brothers and sisters were free from mutual calculations, and the family was happy, what a good thing.

Shen Mu listened to those words with a smile, and his heart was still a little sour while being relieved.

"Let's go, let's find a place to live first." The two of them returned to Beijing in a very low-key manner, and they did not alarm anyone at all, and Xun Yu originally did not allow them to come back, but after a long time, the guards were not so strict.

What's more, Xiliang is now in harmony with the northern kingdom, and no one cares about his life or death for a long time, and he won't cause a storm.

Thinking back on that period of time, Shen Mu always felt like a dream.

He prospered and rested in peace in this life.

When he first met in the desert, he was a robber, and she was a lamb to the slaughter, but he slyly fought back, which became the concern of his life.

After that, he rose to power in Xiliang and held a high position. Xun Yu was seriously ill, he came to see her, and a secret letter kept her worries out, and only that time was the closest time he was to her.

After infinite proximity, there is endless exile.

By now, he already knows everything, in the past life, because of the consequences of the future life, Helian Yan died and the lights went out, and it doesn't matter what he did, the important thing is that because of his previous joke, he buried a peaceful life, and he should use his whole life to pay it back.

Xun Yu told those shocking things and discusses, as if he had built an insurmountable wall in front of him and An Ning.

In the past, he looked up to her under the rouge platform, and now he is still under the tower.

Yun Kai wanted to go to see his mother, and Shen Mu was going to accompany her, but remembering that Mama Lin didn't like him, he finally decided to stay at the inn and wait for her to come back.

But until the sun went down, Yunkai still didn't see anyone.

The man's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and a hint of foreboding came to his heart.

Searching all the way, he suddenly remembered that Xun Yu had told him about Anning that day, and when he left, he asked again.

"What about Yunkai, how did Yunkai do in the past?"

"Thanks to you, because of An Ning's death, she jumped into the well." The man on top let out a heavy sigh, not wanting to mention the past at all, "It's also strange to me, I want to punish her as a military soldier, she can't bear the humiliation, so she chooses to commit suicide." ”

"In this life, treat her well."

The pace unconsciously accelerated, although it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but the New Year was approaching, and it was dark early, it was inevitable to meet the wicked, Yunkai couldn't speak, if something really happened, she wouldn't even call for help.

He knew the way to Mama Lin's house, and it was not far from the inn, Shen Mu carefully checked the surroundings, for fear that there would be no one after arriving at Mama Lin's house, and it would be too late to turn back and look for it again.

But he didn't find anything wrong all the way, and it wasn't until he arrived at Lin's house and entered the courtyard that he heard Mama Lin counting towards Yunkai, and his heart was steady.

Shen Mu withdrew, not letting the mother and daughter find themselves, and they could still hear clearly through the courtyard wall.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back, won't he take care of himself as a big man?

.......

"He's worried? He won't worry about you, and he won't say anything about accompanying you when you come by yourself, it's really..."

.......

"Is it cold in the place where you live, I don't mean the inn, I'm asking if the house where you and Shen Mu live is cold in winter, really, he faked his death, isn't it good for you to stay in Kyoto and be a nominal princess, you have to eat, drink and be taken care of all your life, but you want to be with him, do you want to make your mother can't close your eyes until she dies?"

........

"Can you take the things I brought you, no, no, no, don't go back tonight, how can you take my box of things, don't you?" Don't do anything, that's all I left to you, it's really no conscience, I save money, save gold and silver for you, you don't want it? ”

Mama Lin cried at the end, she was too reluctant for Yunkai to suffer with him.

"I like people, I don't know what I like people, do people like you, if he likes you, can you still have no movement in your belly? Is it worth it to stay with him for the rest of your life? ”

When Shen Mu entered, Yun Kai was stomping his feet, Xu was shy and blushing, but the sky was too dark for him to see clearly.

"Mama, I'll pick up Yunkai." bowed, Shen Mu wanted to relieve her.

"Heh, you're listening to the corner outside, and you come in as soon as you mention money, and you're not as accurate as you."

I'm sorry to change Shen Mu this time.

"Those things are too heavy, otherwise I won't take them yet....."

"This is what I gave my daughter, what does it have to do with you?"

Shen Mu was speechless, and in the end, Yun Kai picked some of it and took it with him, and left the rest to Mama Lin, saying that it was for her to support her for the elderly.

She apologized to him all the way, saying that she couldn't be with her mother, and that she had a grudge against him, not against him.

"It's okay, I know."

When they were about to arrive at the inn, the two men still encountered the wicked, and they had just turned into a small alley, when three big men rushed out and wanted to rob the money.

It's just that one of them moved his mind when he saw Yunkai, rubbed his hands and said, "It's been a long time since I opened meat, and tonight is really lucky, and the wealth is double." ”

Yun Kai was frightened and hid behind Shen Mu.

The man narrowed his eyes, and without waiting for the other party to make a move, he knocked two of them to the ground with three strikes and five divided by two, and the last person was a little frightened, took out a bright dagger from his waist, and threatened, "Don't come here, otherwise.... The sword has no eyes. ”

Shen Mu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, took a step forward, and waved the dagger wildly at the other side, without any rules at all. Reaching out and grabbing his arm, the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter.

Pick it up and insert it into the ruins of the broken wall next to it, if the other party wants to pull it out, it is estimated that the entire wall will collapse.

Escorting Yunkai back to the inn, Shen Mu realized that his arm had just been scratched.

The blood stained his clothes, and he was so frightened that he began to cry.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury." After comforting her, he went in to change his clothes, and by the time he came out, the person was gone.

I went downstairs and asked the store, saying that I had gone to buy medicine.

Shen Mu was angry, but fortunately she came back soon, but he still counted her down.

And refused to let her help with the medication.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that the cloud development had burned.

I don't know if it's because the wind blew outside for too long last night, or because he was scared, or because he was angry, angry, and aggrieved.

"Yunkai, I'm sorry." Shen Mu apologized to her in a daze and asked a doctor to treat her, but she had a fever every day during the day, and she was groggy again at night, and so on, until the day after the Shangyuan Festival, she completely improved.

Yun Kai cried a lot about this, saying that he had delayed him to go downstairs to see Anning.

"It's okay, let's go back."

She was sullen all the way, as if she was the one who missed an important date.

Yun Kai stopped talking to Shen Mu, unlike before, she only nodded her head when he spoke, and never took the initiative to say anything to him.

Shen Mu felt very bored, as if the person he had been with suddenly left, leaving him alone in his habit and unable to turn around.

When the spring flowers are blooming, the man buys a little lamb.

"Yunkai, let's go herd the sheep."

Touching the soft little lamb, Yun Kai nodded and took it to the outskirts of the city to graze.

On a spring day in the north, at the border where Xiliang meets, the blue sky is low, the eyes are full of clouds, the lamb and the gentle girl stay on the grass together, and the man with the dog's tail in his mouth not far away suddenly feels as if he is....

Muyun.

Shen Mu smiled, it doesn't matter if he misses the grand ceremony of the Shangyuan Festival, it doesn't matter if he can't meet someone as bright as a star again, what he should cherish is everything in front of him.

It was what he expected most when he was trapped in Xiliang in the past, a dull life.

The man walked over, suddenly picked up Yun Kai, and carried her around the grass again and again, until he was exhausted, and both of them lay down on the grass.

Shen Mu gasped, grabbed Yun Kai's shoulder with one hand, and pointed to the sky with the other, "Yun Kai, look." ”

Keep the clouds open and see the dawn.
