Jiangnan Gusu, half city mountain, half city water.

When Su Jiu and Xiao Tingchen arrived one after another, a team of endless send-off relatives arrived outside the city earlier than them.

Xie Rongzhi, who was riding on a horse, looked at the sunset and signaled to rest at the outskirts of the city.

This village is also the property of the Xie family, with black tiles and white walls, lying in the landscape, like a splashed ink painting.

Xiao Peilan finished changing clothes and removing makeup, and it was already late at dusk.

The girl was not in the mood for dinner, and the food brought in by the maid was brought out as it was.

Xie Rongzhi stood outside the door, "She refuses to eat?" ”

The maid wiped her tears, "Since leaving Jinling, Miss hasn't eaten much. The young lady just asked me for a pot of wine, and I was afraid that I would borrow it to drown my sorrows. ”

She suddenly cried and knelt down, "Gongzi Xie, Miss is not willing to marry Gu Xiliu at all, can you take Miss away?!" Just like two years ago, you left with the young lady and left far away......"

Xie Rongzhi's eyebrows furrowed.

The gentle face was full of helplessness.

He also wants to take Lan'er away,

But......

However, what is more important in this world than Lan'er's life?

A seven-foot man, holding the wealth of Jiangnan, but unable to hold the hand of the woman he loves.

He closed his eyes, "I'm sorry. ”

The maid ran away crying.

Xie Rongzhi stood under the eaves, wanting to knock on the closed door, wanting to take a look at the girl who had been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to raise his hand at all.

He saved Lan'er's life,

but betrayed their love.

Little by little, the sunset is falling.

The lights are all over the place.

He was still standing under the door.

The maid finally came over with a pot of wine, glanced at him, and was about to enter the house, when Xie Rongzhi stopped her, "The spring cold is steep, how can cold wine enter the throat?" Go, change to a pot of warm wine. ”

The maid let out an "oh" and left silently.

Across the door, Xiao Peilan combed her long hair like a cloud.

The girl lowered her eyelashes and called in a dumb voice, "Xie Rongzhi." ”

"Xie Rongzhi ......," she called again, "whether it's hot or cold, I just want to drink." ”

The man's voice was as gentle as water, "The cold wine is unbearable and hurts the body." ”

"So, when I had a glass of wine with Gu Xiliu, did you also have to stand next to me and remind me that the cold wine was unbearable?"

Xiao Peilan smiled.

But it was bitter.

Xie Rongzhi clenched his fists and was silent.

Through the fan, the girl said again: "Two years ago, you said that you would never fail me in this life. You said that the young lady of the Xie family would only be me Xiao Peilan. But what is the reason why you have personally sent me to marry now? What good did your grandmother promise you to do for her? Could it be that all men in the world are affectionate and cold? ”

In the face of the girl's accusation, Xie Rongzhi was still silent.

In the silence of the night, laughter suddenly came from far and near.

The young man in purple, with oily hair and powdered face, came with a smile, "Before I got married, this Gusu City has already begun to be lively." Even the eldest and youngest members of the Xie family came to Gusu in person. There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome! ”

Xie Rongzhi raised his eyes, this person was the man Lan'er was about to marry.

Gu Xiliu.

The man in purple approached and said with a smile: "Brother Xie personally sent Pei Lan to Gusu, it's really hard!" ”

Xie Rongzhi was noncommittal.

In the letter sent by my aunt and grandmother, she said that Brother Xie would protect Peilan all the way. Coincidentally, I have a troublesome matter here, which happens to be related to Peilan, and I ask Brother Xie to help solve it. ”

Seeing that Xie Rongzhi didn't answer, he looked down and said: "In the wilderness north of Gusu City, there have been horse thieves all year round. My wedding with Pei Lan was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and after the post was sent, the Gu family suddenly got some gossip, saying that the group of horse thieves was going to take advantage of my wedding to sneak attack the Gu Mansion and rob the Gu Mansion treasures.

"Brother Xie, since you are here to protect Peilan, you should naturally protect my wedding with her, right? The matter of the horse thief was solved by Brother Raussie. Thank you so much! ”

He smiled and saluted.

Outside the gate of Beizhuang, a charming woman leaned on the door frame and shouted with a smile:

"Stream, it's not too early, it's time for us to go home...... My sister has not yet entered the door, and she has taken away your soul, what will happen to the concubine in the future? ”

She is Gu Xiliu's concubine.

"It's okay to sleep together!" Gu Xiliu walked up to her, salivated and took her into his arms, not forgetting to turn around and advise, "Don't forget about the horse thief, Brother Xie!" ”

They boarded the carriage and went away in the night.

Xiao Peilan sneered, "The man I want to marry is this kind of goods." Xie Rongzhi, the man I want to marry is this kind of goods......"

She pushed the door open suddenly.

Su Bai's little hand gently grabbed the corner of Xie Rongzhi's clothes, and she raised her eyes, "Zhi, take me away." ”

The wind lamp under the eaves flickered lightly, the girl's face was pale, and there was a thick prayer in her apricot eyes.

Xie Rong's heart is like a knife.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and broke her fingers one by one.

"I'm sorry."

He left ruthlessly.

The girl watched him go away, tears rolling out of her eyes uncontrollably.

It is the time of the cold spring, and the cold wind blows the scattered fine snow on the peach blossom trees.

The branches crisscross the tree, bearing a thick layer of peach buds.

Teardrops are blown away by the wind, mixed with fine snow, and lightly fall among the buds.

Pale pink crimson, glamorous and poignant.

When I was young, I didn't know how to worry.

Now that I am married, I have looked back several times, and I want to talk about it.

Jiangnan Gusu,

Half the city mountain, half the city water.

But in the memory of the rest of her life,

There is only about this journey of mountains and water for her and him in the half of her life.
