The spring flowers outside the house are gradually blooming. On sunny days, Wang will Xu He put on a thick coat and go to the yard to sit and bask in the warm sun. In the end, he was young, and he felt that his body had returned to normal, but Wang did not follow, saying that he could not move in a hundred days.

On the day of the full-term month, He got up in the morning as usual to greet Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao only casually asked a few words, but she was no longer as close as before.

When He returned to the backyard, Mrs. Gao sent someone to inform He and let He recuperate well, so that he would not have to go to the North Courtyard every day to say hello in the future.

Gao Li and Gao Ling still come to talk to He from time to time, and Gao Rong sometimes comes with them, and he and He gradually get acquainted, but Gao Rong still doesn't set foot in He's house.

Occasionally, a few young people would paint together in the courtyard and play the piano, or watch Gao Rong practice swords and martial arts. The days went by like this, and He's body became healthy day by day.

Outside the window, the willow shoots grew, and the chirping of birds began to be heard in the yard. Wang Shi has already packed up the clothes and quilts in winter, and He's life seems to continue like this.

On this day, the weather was fine, He was crooked on the recliner in the courtyard, and the warm spring sun was light and warm on her cream-like skin.

Wang raised his eyes and saw it, sighed, and said in his heart: "It's a pity that such a person who has captivated the country and the city." So he took the brocade and tiptoed to catch it for He.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was Wang, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, I dreamed of spring flowers all over the mountains just now." ”

Wang had heard Jixiang mention that He liked to see spring flowers, looking at the poor person in front of him, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and asked: "Does the second lady want to see the flowers?" ”

Seeing that He didn't make a sound, Wang continued: "It will be the fifteenth in two days, and I heard that the lady is going to take her female dependents to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings." You and Jixiang quietly knock on the back door and go out, it should be fine. ”

When He heard that he could go out, he had to get up from the chair, hugged Wang's coquettishly and said, "My good sister-in-law Wang, I know that you love me the most!" ”

On the fifteenth day, as soon as the sky was slightly light, I heard the noise of people in the front yard.

He also got up early to wash up, changed into his daily skirt, and waited for the sound of cars and horses in the front yard to go away, and then he couldn't wait to go out of the back door with auspiciousness.

Wang stood in the back alley, watching the two walk away.

Married into Gaofu for half a year, He Yibu has never left Gaofu. Coming out today, it is like experiencing three lives and three lives.

He didn't dare to go home to see her mother, she was afraid that her mother would worry about her; I didn't dare to go to the market, after all, I was a lady of the Gao Mansion, and it was taboo to go out without the permission of my in-laws.

He pulled auspiciousness and asked, "Do you remember the small hillside outside Jianchun Gate?" When we were children, we used to go there to pick mountain fruits. ”

Jixiang said excitedly: "Well, the scenery there is good, and there are few people." ”

With that, the two went to find an ox cart and left the city.

In the early spring morning, the chill is not over. But when the master and servant climbed the hill, they were already drenched in sweat.

He and Jixiang sat back to back on top of the mountain.

The hustle and bustle of the day has not yet arrived, but the depth of the night has faded. A colorful morning glow came into He's eyes, and slowly a semi-circular fireball appeared in the sky. With the dazzling golden light, the bright morning sun erupts. The sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist, revealing the clear blue sky in front of their eyes.

He took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction, as if returning to her childhood, the morning light in her memory was so beautiful.

The foot of the mountain is full of spring flowers, and they bloom freely. The golden yellow is overwhelming under the eyes of the income he.

The sea of flowers in front of him reminded He of his father again. He understands that his father married into Gaofu, not only for his career success, but also in the hope that He's marriage can pave the way for his younger brother to enter the government in the future. Now I am in such a situation, I am afraid that my father did not expect.

"The sunrise is shining, and the beauty is watching." He's thoughts were interrupted by this sound, and he turned to see a tall, bronzed, handsome man.

He nodded and wanted to get up and leave, but the man said: "The little lady is just sitting there, and the golden light is shining on you, like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, extremely beautiful!" ”

For the first time in his life, He was praised by a strange man in person, and his cheeks were crimson with shame.

Jixiang quickly got up in front of He, and said loudly: "Arrogant, Hugh has to be unreasonable to my little lady. ”

He didn't wait for the man to speak, pulled Jixiang and ran down the mountain.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, He ran too fast with auspiciousness, the mountain road was rugged, He tripped over a small stone, and the two fell to the ground together. He was slid down the hillside again, but fortunately the branches on both sides hung on her dress, and she was able to stop.

Jixiang shouted "little lady" and chased down, and when he saw He's bloody hands, Jixiang cried in fright.

He endured the pain and whispered to Ji Xiang: "Help me up." ”

Ji Xiang choked and came to help him. He tried to get up, but the pain caused her to fall to the ground again.

Jixiang cried again anxiously, and He comforted her and said, "It's okay, just sit down for a while." ”

Ji Xiang choked and said: "It's all my fault, I couldn't tighten the little lady." ”

"Try my golden medicine." As soon as the voice fell, the person was already in front of him, and he saw the man just now take a small medicine bottle from the hand of a man who looked like a manservant.

"It's all you, the disciple, if it weren't for you, how could my little lady fall!" Jixiang said indignantly.

The man ignored the auspiciousness, opened the medicine bottle, squatted down beside He, and grabbed He's hand.

He tried to break free, but the hand was so strong that the man could not say anything, so he sprinkled the powder.

The pain of the wound made He frown slightly, "Ha, it turns out that fairies also hurt." The corners of the man's mouth lifted and teased.

He only bowed his head and said nothing, Jixiang wiped away his tears with his sleeve, glared at the man fiercely, and said, "Don't gloat here!" ”

The man didn't reason with her, but beckoned, and the man who looked like a manservant ran closer. The man tore a piece of cloth from the corner of the manservant's garment and tried to bandage it.

Ji Xiang snatched the cloth and said, "What kind of dirty man's clothes, how can I use it for my little lady." ”

The man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Our three treasures love cleanliness the most, and this dress was changed when we went out this morning." After that, he didn't ask if He wanted to or not, so he bandaged He.

"Ahh

The man looked at He in response, only to see her biting her lips lightly, and her brows locked even tighter. "Did you hurt your foot?" The man asked softly.

Seeing that He nodded, he continued: "I didn't carry the medicine for bone-setting, why don't I carry you down the mountain, okay?" ”

Ji Xiang said quickly: "You are a disciple, you don't need to pretend to be a good person." I'll carry the little lady myself. ”

The man laughed and said, "If you want to throw your little lady down the mountain again, then please." With that, he walked away.

Seeing the man walking away, He softly blamed Jixiang and said: "People help each other, but we haven't had time to thank you, and you still have to collide with others." ”

Ji Xiang also replied without showing weakness: "It was his words that made the little lady go down the mountain in a hurry, resulting in an accident." I don't blame him, who do I blame! ”

After the auspicious words, he squatted in front of the He and wanted to carry the He down the mountain. He shook his head and said, "The mountain road is rugged, don't say that you carry me, even if you go down by yourself, it is not as steady as the flat road." Allow me to rest a little longer, and then I can go down the mountain on my own. ”

Jixiang also felt that it was reasonable, so he no longer insisted.

Jixiang was about to rub He's feet, only to hear a voice say, "Don't move", Jixiang looked up and saw that it was the man just now, so he didn't feel good and said: "What's the matter with you again." ”

The man was still not annoyed, squatted in front of He, patted his shoulder with one hand, motioned for him to carry He, and said, "My grandmother taught me to be kind to others to the Buddha. If you have done good deeds today, you will do them to the end. ”

He knew that it was difficult for him to go down the mountain, and he had to go back to Gaofu to find someone to help. I was thinking about it, but I heard a spring thunder, and the sky that was still sunny just now was now covered with dark clouds.

"This early spring day is really like a child's face." The manservant called the Three Jewels said.

The man turned his head and approached He Dao: "If the fairy insists on refusing to go down the mountain, I am afraid that this rain will fall." As soon as the words fell, another thunderclap exploded in the sky, and the sound of the sky cracking was really terrifying.

He knew that he couldn't delay, so he nodded in agreement. He straightened his sideburns, raised his head, and met the man's eyes, and his eyes were in contact with a pair of deep and impenetrable eyes.

He saw his face clearly for the first time, his black hair was tied up by a crown, his sword eyebrows were flying, the bridge of his nose was high, his red lips were thin and moderate, and his facial features were as distinct as carvings, which seemed to be different from those of the Central Plains. He looks like he is bohemian, but the smile on his face is genuine and warm.

"Come, I'll carry you." The man said softly. He suddenly came back to his senses, and lowered his head again in shame.

"Childe, let's come as a slave." Sambo took a step forward, but was stopped by the man waving his hand.

Although the mountain road is rugged, the man's footsteps are steady, and the slope of the mountain is not too high. He thought that this should be a person who practiced martial arts.

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, the raindrops the size of beans fell. Fortunately, there was a post pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and the man carried the grass straight inside to avoid the rain.

He's foot was injured, so he had to rest half-leaning on the pavilion pillar. He said to the man: "We met in Pingshui, but we got the help of my son, and I am very grateful." ”

The man smiled lightly and said: "Although I have never lived a life, but the little lady is like a fairy, how can she stand by and watch." ”

He listened slightly, and bowed his head and said nothing. I heard the man say again: "Now I am equal to the eaves, can I ask the name of the little lady?" ”

Jixiang was about to speak, He gently pulled the corner of her clothes, then raised her head, and looked directly at her: "Parents call slave He." ”

The man smiled and said, "'Build a field in September, and collect crops in October.'" 'Didn't the little lady be born in October?' ”

He was stunned, she only thought that the man was a martial arts practitioner, and he never thought about the origin of his name.

Seeing that He was silent, the man smiled and said to He: "Parents are called in Xiahong." Chao He laughed playfully.

He knew that he was learning to speak by himself, and he wanted to suppress it, but he couldn't help laughing: "Ling Zun Lingtang must be looking forward to Gongzi Ke Zhen Xun Hongcai and serve the country and settle down." ”

Hong looked at her and smiled, "You are indeed a fairy." ”

The rain outside the post pavilion is like a pearl with a broken thread, dripping and falling non-stop.

Hong said to He: "I don't know when this rain will stop." It's better for me to wait for a game than to be alone with each other. ”

At this time, He not only lost his defense, but also inexplicably had a good impression of Hong.

Seeing that He nodded, Hong motioned for Sambo to take out a few small and delicate squares from his arms. The three treasures were handed to Hong, and Hong said to He: "This is a game in my hometown. Whenever the tribesmen caught wild beasts such as roe deer, roe deer, and deer, they first took out the galaha and kept it. Both adults and children will play Galaha in their leisure time, and the one who catches more wins. ”

He never knew what "Galaha" was, let alone such a way to play, so he looked at Hong with a smile full of novelty eyes.

Hong seemed to be able to read through He's heart, holding Galaha and saying to He: "This is the language of my hometown, and this thing is the bone crutch of an animal." Jixiang also came over, and after listening to the grand way, he also felt that it was novel and interesting, so he shouted to play.

The three of them gathered around He, and the three treasures blew lightly on the ground, and Hong began. He shouted "Rise", and then threw a gala attached to the palm of his right hand upwards, and then grabbed the other galahas scattered on the ground. Then he caught the fallen Galaha with his hand. The macro hand and eye cooperate, and the movements are as smooth as flowing water, which is wonderful.

Jixiang was completely attracted and eager to try. He hurt his hand, although he only counted them on the side, he was very happy.

A few people played lively, laughing unrestrainedly, as if they had returned to their childhood.

Hong would sneak a few glances at He from time to time, He's dark eyes were so pure, He's smile was so sweet, completely different from the other women around him. In the eyes and laughter of those women, Hiroshi can only see flattery and scheming. And He is like a fairy who has fallen into the dust by mistake and has been contaminated with dust.

The rain in spring comes as soon as it is said and stops when it is stopped. The thunder faded, the clouds cleared, and the sky cleared. He saw that the time was not early, and although he was reluctant, he still signaled Jixiang to go looking for the ox cart.

Hong stopped: "The rain will stop, the ground is wet and the road is slippery, let's let Sambo go." The Three Treasures answered and went in the direction of the city gate.

After only half a pillar of incense, he brought an ox cart.

Hong Yi reluctantly said to He: "Let the coachman take you home." Remember to recuperate and don't move around. ”

After that, he picked him up, walked to the ox cart, and whispered: "We will see you again." ”

He smiled sadly and said, "Childe is precious, goodbye is indefinite." ”

He's heart slumped like an ox cart. He himself didn't understand why he was so confused after only two hours together.

Seeing He in a daze, Jixiang asked, "Little lady, isn't it a terrible foot pain?" He came back to his senses, answered randomly, and stopped making a sound.

Although Jixiang was born in a slight cold, he has been with He since he was a child, and he has also learned to observe words and colors. When she saw that He's expression was different from the past, she didn't dare to say anything more.

The ox cart followed the direction of auspicious guidance and came all the way to the back alley of Gaofu.

The back alleys of the mansions of the eunuchs like Gaofu are mostly hidden paths, separated from the main house by high walls, and there are very few people entering and leaving on weekdays, and uninformed bystanders do not know that this road has the slightest connection with the Gaofu where the main gate is opened on the street.

The ox cart stopped, and Ji Xiang hurriedly got out of the cart, looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he tapped on the small door.

Wang, who was anxiously waiting, hurriedly opened the door when he heard the sound. Ji Xiang whispered to Wang, and Wang called a large servant woman who was waiting in the backyard on weekdays, and brought He from the ox cart into the house. Wang Shifu went out again and gave the coachman a penny, told him to leave quickly, and then turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Everything was arranged properly, and Langzhong was sent away, it was past noon, and the people who went out of Gaofu had not returned.

Wang Shi said distressedly while covering his feet with He: "If it weren't for my second lady going out today, where would this happen?" ”

He took Wang's hand and said coquettishly like a child: "Good sister-in-law Wang, don't blame yourself." Today I have to see the mountains and flowers, thanks to you. ”

Wang Shi took out his hand, took off the hot towel on He's feet, and dipped it in the badger oil in the medicine box, and said angrily while wiping: "Fortunately, Lang Zhong said that he just sprained his ankle, and he can go to the ground after a few days of rest." ”

He pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "If there is a next time, I will definitely take you with me, you remember to hold on to me." ”

Wang Shi couldn't help but laugh: "They are all women, and they are still so childish." I hurt my foot if I let you out today, how dare I have a next time. Thanks to this Langzhong is my distant cousin, otherwise I would not have been able to hide it from my wife. ”

He poured his body into Wang's arms, Wang patted her back distressedly, and then gently helped He to lie down, and said, "Second lady, you sleep for a while." He closed his eyes wearily.

This night, He had a dream, a dream that only appeared in childhood.

She was in the mud swamp at the foot of the mountain, and a pack of wolf-like beasts stared at her fiercely, but she was stuck in the swamp and unable to escape. At this time, the mother Che appeared with a firewood knife, and the mother angrily cut down those wild beasts, but the more they fell, the more they fell. Just as the mother and daughter were about to be in distress, a white python fell from the sky and rescued the mother and daughter.

He was awakened by the dream and sat up with a "hoof". Through the window, the bright white moonlight shone on her body, and she leaned lightly on the bedrail, but her heart drifted to the post pavilion today.
