Hua Xiyan pondered Shen Jia's words, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Let's not talk about Ning Xuan, that is, you and Yun Wei didn't come back yesterday, but do you know that Ning Xuan is sending someone to look for you?" ”

Shen Jia nodded: "I naturally know this, after all, I bought it for him at a great price, so he naturally can't just watch me disappear, right?" ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'll be back in a moment." Shen Jia picked up the tea in his hand and drank it with his head down, hiding his face.

"Yun Wei will really let you go back?" Hua Xiyan turned his head as he spoke, looking at the man who didn't know when he was standing there.

Shen Jia was silent for a moment, didn't look at Huaxi Yan, nor looked at Yun Wei at the door of the room, just looked at the tea in front of him with a pair of eyes, and said slowly: "I must go back." ”

There was a "bang", followed by a "click", and the good mahogany door frame on the Shilang's mansion shattered.

Hua Xiyan looked at Yun Wei quietly, then looked at Shen Jia, sighed and stood up.

"You're waiting for me outside." Shen Jia suddenly stopped Hua Xiyan, who was walking outside, "I'll go out with you in a while." ”

"Okay." Hua Xiyan didn't look back, said this, and strode out.

She knew very well that Shen Jia had to explain the matter to Yun Wei clearly now, otherwise according to the temperament of these two people, what might happen. Ning Ye and Xiao Yetong were already in a mess, and there really couldn't be any moths here.

Yun Qi was standing under a plane tree in the courtyard, leaning against the trunk, turning the folding fan in his hand with his right hand, watching Hua Xiyan walk towards him step by step.

Hua Xiyan stared at the fan in Yun Qi's hand for a few moments, and then asked, "This is the fan you usually use?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows.

Hua Xiyan stared at the fan a few times, suddenly stretched out his hand, snatched the fan, and opened it with a "swish".

She still remembers that when she was in the state, she saw Yun Qi holding this double-sided fan for the first time, one side is a landscape painting, one side is a lady picture, one side is magnificent, the other side is exquisite and graceful, no matter how you look at it, it is exquisite and ingenious.

But now, it was a pure white fan, white satin without any superfluous decoration, just a blank sheet of paper, pure without a single blemish.

Hua Xiyan took the fan and looked at it suspiciously for a long time, but in the end, he didn't see anything famous.

Yun Qi couldn't help but cry and laugh a little: "Zhiwei, do you think that I have to have a reputation for everything?" ”

Hua Xiyan gave him a "Isn't it" look and stuffed the folding fan into his hand.

"Do you know why there are so many sycamores in this courtyard?" Yun Qi looked at the place not far away and asked softly.

Hua Xiyan actually found that there was a very large sycamore forest in the Shilang Mansion, just behind Yun Wei's main house, looking like a verdant mountain forest from a distance. And in the main courtyard, there are even more sycamores, and the branches spread out like claws, spreading across the sky, like a hand, trying to hold something.

"Wutong is thinking, who must be thinking about it?" Hua Xiyan stretched out his hand to caress the thick trunk of the tree that Yun Qi was leaning on behind him, and said guessingly.

"The amaranth family was originally full of sycamores."

There is a saying that ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, and now the sycamore of Shilang's Mansion is obviously not a day's work, it must have been planted for more than ten years, is it that Yun Wei was originally planted for his master Mr. Amaranth?

"In order not to forget the teacher's kindness, Min Chu planted a plant in his courtyard, and later with this Shilang Mansion, he transported sycamore trees from all over the place to plant here." Yun Qi said, looking at Hua Xiyan, "Shen Jia is obsessed with Wutong, everyone knows it. ”

Hua Xiyan suddenly felt a warm current emerging from his heart, and he couldn't tell what his mood was, such as relief or true joy? She didn't know.

Yun Qi stretched out his hand and stroked Hua Xiyan's side face, and laughed slowly: "So you don't have to worry about Yun Wei and Shen Jia, Yun Wei has been infatuated for a long time, Shen Jia Hui has a good heart, and the two of them will not make mistakes." ”

If you ask how deep the affection is, the sycamores in the courtyard are clear.

Yun Qi's hand fell from the side of Hua Xiyan's face, landed on the two hands hanging beside her, held a slender hand, and said with a clear smile: "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

The sycamore forest rustled in the wind, the verdant and lush leaves seemed to be alive and vibrant, the pale green was almost dripping out, and the sun was falling through the branches and leaves, casting a mottled silhouette on the ground. The bizarre light shone on the plain clothes of the two, and the scene of white clothes and black shadows was quiet and beautiful.

The atmosphere became deeper and quieter, as if they had walked into some paradise, and the flowers and plants on the ground completely covered the footprints of the two, and there was a sense of mist that they didn't hear the way they came.

There is a bamboo house in the forest, which is not very tall, and the verdant green bamboo is simple and simple, and the people are not in the same place, but it is not abandoned.

The branches of the green bamboo are smooth and not stained with dust, and with the action of Yun Qi pushing the door, there is no half-minute sound.

When he walked to the courtyard, Huaxi Yan faintly smelled the fragrance, thinking that Yun Qi brought him, could it be the ancestral hall?

Sure enough, the pitch-black spiritual position in the room confirmed Hua Xiyan's conjecture.

Yun Qi pulled Hua Xiyan to the front of the spiritual seat, and was silent for a long time, then he reached out and picked up a few more pillars of incense from the table, bowed respectfully, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the desk.

The curling green smoke lingered, blurring Yun Qi's light eyebrows.

Hua Xiyan looked at the plaque, blinked, thought for a moment and followed Yun Qi's movements, and bowed respectfully a few times.

Hua Xiyan and Yun Qi stood side by side, kneeling on the futon in front of them for a long time without speaking.

"What don't you ask me?" Yun Qi didn't look at Hua Xiyan, his dark phoenix eyes became more and more indistinguishable under the mist of cigarettes, and even his voice carried an ethereal trance like green smoke.

Hua Xiyan didn't know what to ask. Now that this period doesn't seem like a good time to speak, do you want her to ask, why is Yun Qi's mother's tablet here?

"My mother resented my father." Hua Xiyan didn't speak, Yun Qi had already begun to take the initiative to solve her doubts, "She didn't resent my father for snubbing her, but resented that my father couldn't protect his son well, and he couldn't protect my eldest brother and me." ”

"Not long after the eldest brother went, my mother was seriously ill, and her body has been carefully conditioned by the child, but it has never improved, and she has been lingering on the sickbed. Later, when I had an accident, I was taken to Tongwu Mountain by my master, and if I didn't go home again, my mother couldn't stand it anymore and died. Yun Qi's voice didn't hurt much, as if he was simply stating someone else's affairs, but Hua Xiyan obviously felt that his heart suddenly throbbed.

"When I received the news, my mother had been gone for more than three months." Yun Qi lowered his eyelashes, and his long eyelashes blocked the emotions under his eyes that were not spied on by outsiders, "But when I return to Beijing, it will be five years later." ”

Five years, yin and yang are separated, and I can't think of my gentle and loving mother when I left, and when I meet again, it will already be a cold tablet, Hua Xiyan pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that all her words became pale and weak in an instant, and she didn't know how to comfort the person in front of her.

Rao is no woman wants her husband to take a concubine, Hua Xiyan thought, Yun Qi's mother not only has to endure this, but also has to watch her eldest son die young, and the second son can't return home, while her husband's concubine has parents and children by her side, laughing and laughing, what kind of heart-wrenching strategy should this be?

Yun Qi slowly stood up, dusted off the corners of his dusty robe, and walked to the front of the desk.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Hua Xiyan, hooked the corners of his lips almost invisibly, and said: "I know that I have been careful and thoughtful, I have known it for a long time, but I didn't expect that the famous hall in this fan was really noticed by you." ”

Hua Xiyan pursed her lips slightly, and watched Yun Qi unfold the empty folding fan, put it on the candle on the top of the desk and slowly roast it, from her angle, black things began to appear on the white fan, and there were dots of black in clusters, which should be handwriting or something.

"It's something I found in my mother's belongings when I got home." Yun Qi said, handing the fan to Hua Xiyan.

I took it in, and found that there was really a delicate self on the white fan surface, which was Mrs. Wei's hairpin flower Xiaokai, written gracefully and gracefully, smooth and elegant, except for a slight lack of pen power, it was a rare good word.

It's just what the handwriting outlines...... It makes Hua Xiyan feel shocked.

"This ......"

"This is the fire satin of the seventeenth mother of the water and clouds, written with a special agarwood mill, and then roasted on the fire to reveal the handwriting." Yun Qi took Hua Xiyan's words unhurriedly and explained softly.

No, not this one! Hua Xiyan clearly understood that Yun Qi knew that what she wanted to ask was not this!

"The reputation of Shuiyunjian is not for nothing, what does Zhiwei think?" Yun Qi put the fan back into his sleeve and asked with a slow smile.

Yun Qi's face was already as white as jade, but now it was even more contaminated with a somewhat white and transparent feeling. Everyone in the world knows that Yun Qi is gentle and elegant, and he usually has an elegant appearance with a smile on the corner of his lips, but that smile is always a slightly curved arc on his lips, never with the slightest superfluous look.

But now, he is really smiling, Hua Xiyan can clearly see the smile soaked in his eyes, sparkling, making those eyes like a piece of glowing obsidian, almost at a glance, it will make people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

However, Hua Xiyan felt cold, cold from head to toe.

Hua Xiyan's gaze slowly moved from Yun Qi's face to the pitch-black tablet, and the heavy color was like a woman's dignified and gentle smile. Although Hua Xiyan has never seen Yun Qi's mother-in-law, from Yun Qi, she can also imagine what kind of beautiful woman she should be.

"Yun Qi." Hua Xiyan slowly spoke, and suddenly laughed out loud, the smiles of the two were reflected in one place, the same elegance and peerlessness, the same piercing cold, "Your mother-killing enemy is your father, and so am I." ”
