And said that day, Cui Jinniang was invited by the city lord Zuo Shikun, the city lord's mansion on a pipa sound, played all the elegance and unparalleled, won the applause of the house, can not withstand the city lord's enthusiasm to stay, so he rested in the house for a night, the next morning, the east is just white, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and went back to Xue's mansion.

On the long bluestone steps, a blind old woman staggered, laboriously moving forward step by step, although there was a maid Hongxiang beside her, she still walked a few steps, and then stopped to rest. On a summer day, a few chirping birds, a few Lingling streams, Jin Niang's ears moved, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. His fingers trembled slightly, and he groped his way up to the arm of the servant girl Hongxiang, and his cloudy eyes seemed to add a little light, turned to her, and asked in surprise, "Hong'er, are the flowers outside the wall blooming?" ’

Hongxiang listened, raised his eyes to see the green willows, almost next to the ground, looked around, but did not see any flowers, only under an ancient willow tree, a few small flowers are trying to bloom, maybe the body is weak, can only follow the breeze, like a wicker with the wind. She paused for a moment, then hid her face and chuckled, "Madam, in the middle of summer, the willows are still blooming, and the purple and red are blooming all over. ’

Seeing a sunny smile on Jin Niang's face, Hongxiang raised her hand and asked softly, "Why don't you pick one of Hongxiang?" ’

The blind woman raised her hand to stop it, her dry lips opened one by one, and she bent down to gasp, 'No, let them open freely, don't disturb them.' ’

Hongxiang was stunned, and said in her heart that Mrs. was kind. Cui Jinniang struggled to step up the steps, but she didn't feel that she stumbled under her feet, and she stumbled and almost fell. Hongxiang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said with concern, "Madame, be careful. ’

Jin Niang straightened her waist with difficulty, relieved herself, touched her hand, turned her empty eyes, and apologized, "You bothered." ’

Hongxiang met her terrifying eyes, turned her head, and quietly wiped a few handfuls of tears. Grabbing his wife's hand, he was shocked to find that her ten fingers were as hard as iron, and he couldn't help but feel sad. The pipa strings hurt their hands, ordinary people play up, and they must wear finger guards, and Jin Niang, since that day, her appearance was completely ruined, even if her fingertips were bloody, she never wore finger guards again...... For a long time, the green fingers of the past are full of scars and hard as iron.

Hongxiang raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that she was calm, with a smile on her face, as if overflowing with a spring wind. She paused suddenly, stopped a little sadly, turned her head and muttered, "I don't know if Xiujie can protect the prince, but it is safer than accompanying the army?" ’

After hearing this, Hongxiang covered her mouth and chuckled, and quipped, "Madam is worried, the city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, don't say that it is an enemy, even a fly can't fly in, not to mention that the son's martial arts are strong, madam, you are worried!" ’

Jin Niang's figure was stunned, and a sour feeling suddenly appeared in her heart, and it took a long time to turn calm, raise her feet and step up the stairs, and sighed in a trance, "All kinds of obstacles, in the end, I still practiced martial arts and joined the army...... Jer, don't be like your father! ’

If you want to defend the land and reopen the territory, the blood is still hot, and the ambitions are in all directions, I wipe the tassel gun for you, and wear a military uniform for you. Jun Dao Mo smiled and drunk on the battlefield, looked at Kyushu, the smoke was rising, I sang a war song to send you to, and sang.

Jun Xing in January, Mengjun Campaign, Jun Xing for one year, Mengjun returned, Jun Xing for ten years, and the dream is not there...... This time, eighteen years have passed, a pipa, peerless elegance, who can be welcomed? Even if you have made meritorious contributions and are famous all over the world, how can you hide it, the yellow sand is long, and there are dry bones?

I still remember that day, the warm spring breeze was intoxicating. At dusk that day, Xue Che took the bride and stepped across the embankment of the small river, and whispered with low eyebrows at the head of the bridge. Looking at the weeping willows and supporting the wind, they are seen as double koi. When his ears and temples were grinding, he saw a dark thing by the river, Xue Che was puzzled, stepped forward, lifted the heavy package, frowned, and in the swaddling clothes, there was a sleeping baby! When Jin Niang stepped forward, the baby yawned, opened his little eyes, giggled, and smiled at the two. The child's innocent smile is like a blooming summer lotus, out of the dust. Jin Niang couldn't help but feel moved, raised her hand and touched the baby's cheek, raised her head and said gently, "Husband, this child is really destined for us!" ’

His eyes were rippling, and he was about to drip brightly. Xue Che's heart, which was as calm as water, was suddenly wrinkled by the breeze. He raised his hand and took the lady and carved a kiss on her forehead, and the bride was shy and bowed her head silently. He smiled heartily and said softly, "If you like it, he will be our child from now on." ’

Jin Niang's heart frowned, and her thin hand pinched the corners of her clothes. With a long sigh in my heart, Jer...... Don't be like your father!

Now, the years have been secretly changed, and the strange road is red and dusty. Ten years in Yangzhou, in the song, the rain falls in Chang'an, who remembers? Today's pipa strings are broken, who remembers the song of the year, the sun and the moon hanging?

Entering the Xue Mansion, Jin Niang retreated from the subordinates, sitting alone in the back room, Hongxiang raised her hand, her eyes flowed, and she shook her head and sighed after all. So he respectfully covered the door of the room and withdrew.

Before leaving, I glanced back and saw the figure in front of the window moving slightly, Jin Niang groped and picked up the pipa, plucked it a few times, and the dingdong sounded. Hongxiang's eyes were sad, and she suddenly burst into tears, turned her head, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped it off.

It's been eighteen years...... Eighteen years...... Is she still playing that tune? So beautiful, so cheerful, so exciting...... But where is the person who should listen? Perhaps, it has long been a wisp of ghost on the battlefield.

Jin Niang covered the pipa and played it gently. I still remember that year, under the command of the three armies, she wrote a song "Wen Zhan", which was unparalleled. When everyone heard this, the blood was boiling hot, and they almost wanted to carry a gun across the horse.

Today's song "Wen Zhan" is still like the past, but the old man can't listen to "Zhu Jie"!

Flipping with his bare hands, twisting slowly and lightly, he played the song "Zhu Jie" several times. In the blink of an eye, night fell, Cui Jinniang was unaware, of course, for a person who has been blind for many years, there is no difference between day and night.

The breeze blew, and the windows in the back room slowly opened. When Jin Niang heard it, her ears moved, and the sound of the pipa in her hand stopped abruptly. She placed the lute on the table, slowly stood up, and whispered into the night, 'Who?' ’

A dark shadow flashed by the window, and in a blink of an eye, it moved to Jin Niang's side, and the knife in her sleeve flashed, and she only felt a chill in her neck.

'Don't move! The man in black let out a low cry, the blade in his hand as thin as a cicada's wing, against her neck.

Jin Niang smiled, turned her head, and the sharp blade slashed, immediately leaving a faint blood mark on her neck. Seeing that she was not afraid, the man in black frowned, and the knife in his hand loosened a little.

'The old woman is about to die,' she calmly brushed off the man's hand, without a trace of fear, and said lightly, 'Why do you do it?' ’

Is it threatening? She sneered, a knife, can it be considered a threat? In the past, he was captured and perched with lemons, covered with whip marks, the fiery red soldering iron was close, covered with the eyes of the year, the prison cell was stained with blood, only a few sizzles, a few wisps of green smoke came out of the soldering iron, a miserable scream, fainted on the ground, and was woken up by cold water in the cold winter. In the firelight, a hideous face was reflected, and he took a soldering iron, lifted her to the ground, and asked sharply, 'Do you want to say it?' ’

was so imprisoned, just to ask for information that she couldn't possibly know, such as Xue Che's whereabouts.

The man in black glanced at her face covered with knife wounds, and knew that she was not afraid of death, so he put away the blade. Jin Niang sighed, "If it's for money, it doesn't hurt to take all the Xue Mansion, if it's for revenge, what kind of grievances can I make as an old woman?" If there is a gap with her late husband,' a desolate look appeared on her face, she raised her hand and touched the pipa on the table, and smiled bitterly, "The first husband...... It's been years since I died......

The man in black took out a dagger from his arms, put it on the table, and said coldly, "I want you to take advantage of playing the pipa to hold this dagger and kill Jiang An." ’

When Jin Niang heard this, she was shocked, and guessed that the person who came was a Qining person, who came for the border war. Turning his head, he replied coldly, 'No way. She raised her hand to see off the guest, pointing impartially at the window, "Strong man, please return." ’

'Haha. The man in black laughed, showed his white teeth, raised his hand to light the oil lamp, suddenly turned his gaze to her, and said leisurely, "Mrs. Xue." ’

He took a step forward, ignoring Jin Niang's struggles, grabbed her arm, stuffed an object in her hand, raised his eyes and said lightly, "Has Mrs. Xue ever known this thing?" ’

Jin Niang held the thing, swayed in her hand, touched the familiar pattern, suddenly her body shook violently, took a step back, stumbled under her feet, and fell into the chair. Her pale face was reflected in the dim light, and the scars on her eyes suddenly cracked, gushing out red blood and tears, gurgling down her face, mottled with knives and guns, terrifying. The man in black couldn't help frowning, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

As if in an instant, Cui Jinniang trembled, suddenly covered her mouth, and burst out into a sad cry, she trembled and turned her head, her voice was intermittent, but it was crying bloody, 'You...... Where did you come from? ’

She suddenly got up, grabbed him by the collar, and trembled wildly, hysterically, 'Where are you from?' ’

The man in black looked coldly at the ugly-looking, almost crazy old woman in front of him, raised his hand and threw her on the table. Jin Niang leaned over, smashed the cups and plates on the table, she gritted her teeth and turned back, blood and tears, still firm, "Where did you get it?" ’

There was a loud bang and the cups and plates were broken, and many families were startled, and everyone gathered outside the door to ask how is the lady? The man in black crossed his hands and looked at her with interest, Jin Niang was shocked, her eyes were slightly closed, she calmed down for a long time, and gasped, "Disperse, I'm fine." When the people heard this, although they doubted in their hearts, they heard the voice of the lady, but they had to say a word and disperse.

I still remember that back then, the newlywed Yan'er, the red candle tent, the bride smiled frequently, leaned on his shoulder, was a little shy, bowed her head and said, "Husband." At that time, the lieutenant was young, and he was so beautiful that he bowed his head to kiss her, but when he saw that she was shy and evasive, he stroked his palms and laughed, and put his arms around her with great force, and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Jin Niang was in a panic, nervously grabbed his finger, touched a strange ring, she smiled lightly, suddenly took it off, took it in her hand to look at it, pursed her mouth, and said slyly, "What an ugly ring!" ’

Xue Che hugged her in his arms, took the ring and put it in front of her eyes, "No, my parents left it, and I didn't leave it for a moment." ’

She was a little surprised, and even more ashamed, she hurriedly lowered her head and took the ring, put it on his hand with her heart, raised her head and said, "What my parents gave me, I will keep it well, Jin Niang doesn't dare to take it!" ’

The man in black straightened his neckline, and said lightly, so casually, but it poked directly into Jin Niang's heart, "Naturally, it was taken from Xue Che's hand." ’

Her tears shattered like a downpour, clutched her heaving chest, looked back and trembled, and murmured, 'He ......' clenched the ring in his hand, his lips were biting blood, and he held back her sobs, 'He...... Where are his bones? ’

The man in black turned his senses, looked into the dark night, and said lightly, "He's still alive." ’

As soon as the words came out, like lightning and thunder, Jin Niang's body shook violently, she struggled to get up from the table, staggered a step, tears and blood beads rolled down, her expression was in a trance, and she muttered, 'I knew that he was still alive...... He is reluctant to die, reluctant to me and Xiujie......

Turning to the man in black, he asked, 'Why didn't he come to us?' He...... Where? ’

The man in black picked up the dagger that had just been slapped on the table, put it in her hand, attached it to her ear, and said temptingly, "Kill Jiang An, he will be able to come back and kill Jiang An......

Cui Jinniang struggled, pushed him away, as if remembering something, and pounced forward again, fighting desperately, like an angry little beast. The man in black sneered and dodged sideways, leaving only Jin Niang to fall to the ground. She knelt on the ground, crying out, tears whistling out, as if she wanted to tell her eighteen years of grievances overnight.

The man in black looked coldly, threw the dagger at her side, and said coldly, "Be careful, this knife, see blood to seal the throat." ’

Jin Niang fell to the ground, coughing violently, her voice was sad, she shouted to the moon, and whimpered, "This is treason...... 'After speaking, she couldn't cry.

The man in black frowned, as if he was a little angry, stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar, picked her up, and said ambiguously, 'You love him, don't you,' he chuckled at the corner of his mouth, 'Lovesick, don't you miss him very much?' He took out a silk scarf from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, pushed Jin Niang away, and turned around with a sneer.

She struggled to pick up the silk scarf, her fingertips touching the familiar pattern, biting her lip and whimpering.

One side is flawless with a small handkerchief, and the gold silk is embroidered with mandarin ducks. She stroked the stitch one by one, lowered her head and whimpered, biting the square brocade hand, her body trembled, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

For eighteen years, it was like a dream. The past is blurred, and in a blink of an eye, it seems to be yesterday.

The spring is sultry, the water is shining, the Yiren gets up in the morning to make up, the small building is alone, the fan covers the face, and the young man outside the wall is like seeing it for the first time in life. A pipa in one hand, telling the spring love, he went to the attic, and said that the scenery is unique, who appreciates the beautiful scenery on a good day? She poured jade liquid, red sleeves feigned, and Qiu Bo asked her lover tactfully.

The red wall is full of flowers, the catkins are flying, the sunset is rising, and people are about dusk. He raised his hand and handed over a marriage book, and she hid her face, but she was ashamed to speak.

In the early morning mist, no one continues the incense of the small stove, the pink skirt and jade hairpin, and the slender hand holds the firewood button. He opened the door, but she avoided it, turned back frequently, and threw a Jinpa to be collected. After hiding in the forest, watch Langyi, watch him pick it up, watch him chuckle, watch him look around, and watch him carry it in his arms.

She held the square brocade in her hand, her nails sank into the flesh, her expression was in a trance, and she bowed her head without saying a word. The man in black squatted down, his eyes widened, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked, 'Why, you don't do it?' ’

Jin Niang whimpered, but didn't answer, 'Feeling the silk, often more than the eye, when you see each other, you hate less, and the old love is over. The man in black stared at her and chanted a poem. Seeing her tears falling like rain, looking up and looking far away, "I often see him looking at the river and chanting this poem," he sighed, and the voice in the room was a little moved, "I am often moved by his sad gaze, and I heard him say that there is a woman waiting for him at the other end of the river, at that time, I have always wanted to see the infatuated woman, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name, it turns out to be you, Mrs. Xue." His gaze became playful, and his voice became more teasing, and he said coldly, "It's really beautiful!" ’

Cui Jinniang listened, straightened up in a daze, her withered lips opened, and she wanted to say something, but her ten fingers suddenly covered her cheeks, touching those terrible knife wounds, and she didn't feel ashamed.

'Lovesickness,' the man in black sighed with a pretended sympathy, then smiled slyly, 'you miss him so much, don't you?' He stood up, sighed, and looked playfully, 'Who wants me to be a good person!' Perhaps, if Jin Niang does not agree, I will send the lieutenant part tomorrow,' he smiled and touched his chin, "Maybe Mrs. Xue will see things and think about people and reconsider my proposal, maybe." ’

As soon as the words came out, the corners of the woman's mouth on the ground trembled slightly, she jumped up from the ground, and slapped the man in black, he was cold, dodged sideways, grabbed her arm, twisted behind her, and said ambiguously, "Before sunrise, wait for Mrs. Xue's reply." After speaking, he let go of his hand, pushed her to the ground, jumped up, climbed out of the window, and disappeared into the night, leaving only a faint voice, "I hope Mrs. Xue can give a satisfactory answer." ’

Cui Jinniang sat on the ground weakly, sudden changes, unexpected news, doubts, surprises, surprises...... All the feelings rushed to her brain in an instant, and she sat on the ground, not knowing what to do for a while, only to feel that the feelings that had been suppressed for eighteen years turned into endless tears in an instant, gradually engulfing her.

A team of family members heard the sound in the house, and the cups and plates were mixed with the crying of Jin Niang, and they were puzzled, and they were busy waiting in front of the house, asking, how is Madame?

This movement also startled the red fragrance that was about to rest, she casually put on a coat, hurried to the front of the house, anxious, asked how the lady was well, and wanted to break into the door. Suddenly, I heard Jin Niang's sharp voice, 'Get out!' He was shocked, and he stopped. Her heart suddenly moved, and she wondered, she had never seen her wife lose her temper so much for many years, but now she was...... Jin Niang sighed, and her voice softened, "I'm fine, Hong'er don't worry." ’

Hongxiang heard what Mrs. said so, so she didn't want to ask too much, so she had to promise, retreated from everyone, and retreated.

She stepped down the bluestone steps, but she was extremely puzzled in her heart, Madame has never been so out of shape for a long time, today...... Hongxiang shook her head, pondering in her heart, and muttered, it's better to tell Gongzi about this matter.
