Chapter 14: Missing

As the sun set, Chu Liang and Shan Yancai said goodbye to Ruyang Xie Shaoqing and set off to go home.

Although Xie Shaoqing went along with Chu Li, he did not go back with Chu Li, and went back slowly with Ruyang.

Shanyan saw that Chu Liang was so happy, and he always felt a little too abnormal. On the way back, I couldn't help but ask: "Girl, you sighed a few days ago, why did you take the initiative to come out to play today." ”

Chu Liang said: "I've been sad at home alone for several days, it's useless, and I can't change anything, it's better to go with the flow and wait for my father to come home before making a decision." ”

Shanyan was surprised: "It's rare that Miss you think so." ”

Chu Liang said: "Actually, it may have been me who has always been self-inflicted, although I don't want to admit it, he looks at me like a stranger, his eyes are not wavering at all, and no matter how self-aware I am, I feel like a joke." ”

Shanyan sighed and said, "Since Miss you think so much, it's good." ”

Chu Liang suddenly asked: "Shanyan, have you ever thought about the future, or do you have a sweetheart?" ”

Shanyan panicked: "No, girl, why do you think so, Shanyan has followed the master and the girl since he was a child, and I will not leave you." ”

Chu Liang said as he walked: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, it has been like this since childhood, as if you can't stay long in every place, Lanxi is like this, and Changshan is also like this. Friends seem to be leaving him, Chen Yanzhi is like this, Jiang Yingyue is also like this, when they meet again, they will already be different, this time I don't know if I will stay in Linjiang City for a few days, and I will move away again. ”

The mountain smoke became inexplicably sad, and tears couldn't stop flowing. He cried and said, "I will follow the girl for the rest of my life." ”

Chu Liang said: "Silly girl, how can I bear to let you be my maid for the rest of my life." ”

Shanyan cried: "I don't care, I don't care, I want to be with Miss." ”

Chu Liang touched her head and said, "Listen to you." ”

Shanyan stopped crying after hearing this: "Miss said such sad things well." ”

Chu Liang smiled: "It's just a feeling, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

The two talked and walked to the front of the house, Chu Li looked at the door and said: "I really want to plant a jujube tree in front of the door, when it grows very tall, we can sit below it in the summer to enjoy the cool, and in the autumn to beat dates, how good, but unfortunately there is no place." ”

Shanyan pushed open the door and said, "Girl, let's go in, don't stand." ”

Chu Liang played for a long time, and he was tired, so as soon as he went in, he sat down with Shanyan, and Old Man Zhang knew that they were tired of playing, so he brought the food over.

Here Ruyang went back with Xie Shaoqing, Ruyang was holding the kite with one hand and stroking the kite's headband with the other. While asking: "Brother, why don't you go back with Chu Li, I remember you and her on the way!" ”

Xie Shaoqing knocked Chu Li's head and couldn't help but say, "What do you think about all day long?" Isn't it good for me to wait for you. ”

Ru Yang said with an aggrieved face: "I'll just ask." ”

Xie Shaoqing said quietly: "The sun is going to set soon, don't go quickly." ”

At sunset, people began to rest after a busy day, and Xie Jing was still correcting the twists and turns. He was busy for a long time, and the meal in front of him was cold several times, and he didn't have time to eat it.

Seeing that Xie Jing hadn't eaten yet, Zhan He asked someone to bring back the cold food, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty will eat first, these state affairs are not in a hurry." ”

Xie Jing finally finished reading the recital, stretched his waist, and said, "I know, you just bring the food." ”

This is a eunuch who came in from outside, carrying a food box, saying that it was sent by the queen.

Xie Jing said to Zhan He: "It's still the queen who has a heart." ”

Zhan He took the food, and the little eunuch slowly took a few steps back before retreating.

Xie Jing opened the food box, and there was a bowl of red date porridge and all kinds of delicate pickles in it. Xie Jing's appetite was so great that he finished eating it before letting the palace maid take it down.

In the dead of night, only the chirping of insects could be heard.

Xie Jing sat on the chair and looked at Zhan He and said, "I went to Xiangguo Temple a few days ago and saw two girls, one of them was a girl in blue clothes, she didn't look very old, do you have an impression?" ”

Zhan He said: "I have the impression that the girl's name is Chu Li, Your Majesty mentioned it to the slave, she is the daughter of Your Majesty's deceased. ”

Xie Jing smiled to himself: "Saying that she is the daughter of an old man is just my words, my mother and I can only be regarded as friends in Pingshui, and her mother doesn't even know who I am." ”

When Xie Jing was thirteen years old, he once went to Xiangguo Temple to play without telling everyone, perhaps because he was too happy and accidentally lost the jade pendant that his father gave him. Xiangguo Temple is very big, he is in a hurry, looking for a breath everywhere, but he has no clue.

Xie Jing walked to the ginkgo tree in front of Xiangguo Temple in frustration, sat on the stone brick next to the ginkgo tree, and was thinking about how to deal with this matter after returning to the palace. When he was at a loss, a girl came over with a jade pendant in her hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

Xie Jing was overjoyed and took it, to this day, Xie Jing doesn't remember what he said at the time, and he doesn't remember what the girl said, he only remembers that the girl said to him at the end: "Pay attention in the future, so that things won't be lost." With that, he left.

Xie Jing was so happy holding the jade pendant that he forgot to ask someone's name. Every time Xie Jing thought about it, he regretted it. After that, Xie Jing couldn't find out the girl's name after many inquiries, he always felt that the girl was like a breeze, from his life experience.

Xie Jing recalled that he only felt that she was as bright as the moon, and he often went to Xiangguo Temple, hoping to meet her, but unfortunately never got his wish. Later, when Xie Jing became the emperor, he inquired in every way to find out that the girl was married to Chu Zhi, Xie Jing suddenly felt that life was boring, although he knew that she must be married to a wife, when he really knew, Xie Jing was unwilling to face it for some reason.

After a few more years, Xie Jing knew that she had died due to dystocia, and he was still sad for a while, although Chu Zhi's ability was very good, and the minister recommended it several times. Xie Jing didn't want to meet Chu Zhi, he always thought that part of her death was Chu Zhi's fault, so Chu Zhi's promotion was suppressed again and again.

Later, Chu Zhi couldn't stand this blow, and his wife died, so he simply resigned and returned to his hometown with his newborn daughter.

Xie Jing buried these things in his heart, and never told them to outsiders, on the contrary, he often liked to say them to Zhan He. Zhan He was tight-lipped, and often listened to Xie Jingxu babble for a long time without saying a word.

A few days ago, Xie Jing met Chu Liang in Xiangguo Temple, and the past of Chen Feng for many years came like a tide, and Xie Jing was a little distracted. Ruyang always felt that his father's expression was a little wrong today.
