、、、、、、、、、、 "Let's go back." Jiang Changyang stopped in front of the moon gate not far from the study, looked back at it, smiled slightly, and then turned around and strode away. Peony watched him silently until he could no longer see his figure before retracting his gaze.

The breeze blew through the treetops, making a pleasant rustling sound, and she looked up at the branches, but saw that the golden, withered yellow, half-green, half-yellow leaves swirled down the branches and fell to the ground, and the brown mud was also dotted with a little brightness. She stepped forward and bent down to pick up a fallen leaf, blew the dust off the fallen leaf, and gently traced it with her fingertips along the convex veins of the leaf, she began to fall in love, Peony raised her eyes to look at the blue sky, and bent the corners of her lips.

He Zhizhong and Jiang Changyang said goodbye in the outer courtyard, strolled into the small courtyard, and saw Peony standing alone in the tree and meditating, his face was quiet and beautiful, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Danniang, are you relieved now?" ”

Peony looked back at He Zhizhong and smiled brightly, stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Daddy, what did you say before?" She wanted to know how Jiang Changyang moved He Zhizhong.

He Zhizhong pretended to be surprised: "He didn't tell you? ”

Peony gently pressed his forehead against his shoulder, and said coquettishly: "No, he just said that you want to show him a precious treasure." ”

He Zhizhong laughed nonsense: "Danniang, he told me that he knows everything about you." He raised his eyes to look at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said slowly: "Someone told him that you are sick and can't have children, and you won't agree to take a concubine, but he thinks that you can't do it, and you will inherit one in the future...... I didn't really believe that he would keep his promises, but I was more satisfied with him because of it. ”

Peony was stunned for a moment. She guessed, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Even though she had always known about this rumor, she knew the truth herself, so she didn't really take it seriously at all. She whispered, "Dad, I ......"

He Zhizhong said: "Of course I know that you are not. He sighed, stroked Peony's shoulder and said, "Daddy was also young, when he was young, things were reckless and reckless. But as the days go by, people's minds will slowly change. There are many people who have disadvantages and advantages when they are in love, but once they don't love them, their advantages become disadvantages. At this time, people's actions are the most critical, and good beginnings and good endings and turning against each other are two different things. I could have told him the truth, but I didn't say it because it wasn't enough to talk to him in depth - since he thought so, he was left to him, and it wasn't a matter of time for him to ask his parents to come and propose marriage, and he had a lot of room to think about it during this time. If after all this time he thinks there is no problem, he is the beloved of your generation. It's not too late to tell him the truth. "If you don't really want to marry, telling the truth is more like a joke.

Peony was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand." Daddy doesn't value his promises, it's his deeds. ”

"Yes. Good deeds are more rare and more important than things of gold and silver, and cherish them. He Zhizhong looked at Peony's thin body and thought to himself, Peony is now thinking that she can give birth, so she doesn't care, it's very easy, but if she really breaks her body and unfortunately can't give birth to a child, it will take a long time, and no one can say how it will change. As a father, as a man, he knows very well what is credible and feasible, and what is not credible or unfeasible, he naturally hopes that his son-in-law will be good to his daughter unconditionally, but in case, it is normal for Jiang Changyang to want his own flesh and blood, and no one can stop him, but he only looks at Jiang Changyang's character, and knows that Jiang Changyang will try his best to take care of Peony no matter what, and it is enough that something like Liu will not happen.

In a blink of an eye, on the day when He Zhizhong's father went out, as soon as the morning drum sounded, the He family all got up, and the family sat around to say goodbye. He Zhizhong had already arranged the affairs at home, but at this time, he was not at ease, and chattered about the important things with Mrs. Cen, Erlang and others, and told Liulang what to do, how to do it.

Liulang was annoyed, and reluctantly smiled: "Daddy, you don't have a good memory, you have already explained these things several times." Ben wanted to say it again, but after getting Aunt Yang's eyes, Fang took the words back.

He Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I am indeed old, and when I return this time, I will never run far in the future, so I will leave it to you young people to run." ”

Mrs. Cen wanted to persuade him not to go this time, but thinking of his character and temper, she swallowed her words, and when she saw that the sky was bright, she hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and pack up and go out, I'm afraid that all relatives and friends are waiting in Baqiao, which will make people wait for a long time." ”

So the people turned over on their backs, and a large group of people went out of the door with the four fathers who went out of the door, and walked out of the city for a long time, until they arrived near the Baqiao, and saw a herd of horses in the distance, and the barrier stretched, and people came and went. But because today is a good day to travel, there are many people who say goodbye.

Not long after the He family and his party appeared, the Li family's little servant, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly greeted him, and said that Li Yuan led a few close relatives and friends who had made friends with both families to set up a table in front of him, and He Zhizhong and others were on the line.

This has been said a long time ago, He Zhizhong was not surprised, so he said: "Cited earlier." ”

When they arrived at the ground, everyone stepped forward to salute, and after everyone had finished greetings, Li Xun stepped forward to salute He Zhizhong. After the greetings, he quickly retreated with his eyes half-lowered, and did not dare to raise his eyes to look behind He Zhizhong. He knew that Peony was there, but he had already seen her from afar, and it was enough to know that she was good, and he didn't dare or want to meet her eyes at this time.

Peony stood behind Mrs. Cen and looked at Li Xun. But after twenty days of hard work, he was like a different person. Although he was still well-dressed and stylish, he was still smiling, and he was greeting and talking to people, but more often than not, he was silent, and anyone could see that he was unhappy. He seemed to feel Peony's gaze, and moved a little uneasily, hiding himself in the deepest part of the crowd.

Peony withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him. Although she misses the Li Xun who went with her in the past, when they were relaxed and comfortable together, she knew that Li Xun would never come back, and that kind of day would never be again.

It didn't take long to make a trip, and soon everyone got up and prepared to send He Zhizhong's father to the ceremony, but they saw Lu Wulang and two little servants also rushing to see him off. He Zhizhong had no choice but to introduce Lu Wulang to everyone, except for Li Yuan's father, most of the people were scriptural, and they had all heard of the name of Duan Da Niang, and they were very polite to Lu Wulang, Lu Wulang was like a fish in water, and he was humil and sleek among everyone.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter not far away, and seven or eight richly dressed women came out of a group of barriers, and the voice of one of the women was crisp and beautiful, and it stood out: "I should have folded the willows and left you to stay, but the leaves of this willow tree are all yellow, and they have almost fallen, could it be that we will give you a bare branch?" You want? ”

Peony looked over inadvertently and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The woman's posture is delicate, her skin is snowy, and her clothes are even more luxurious and sultry, the colorful parrot bandeau appears and disappears under the goose-yellow shawl, the sapphire blue gold thread long skirt drags long, and the knotted golden hairpin on her hair swayes gently with the pace, with her bewitching and a little innocent and delicate face, which makes people unforgettable.

If it weren't for her maid Ah Hui following her closely, Peony would not be able to connect the smiling, charming and moving face in front of her with the face of the water coming out of the hibiscus in her impression, this is none other than Qin Niang, who has no news and Lu Wulang is looking for everywhere.

Qin Niang didn't look at the group of peony people, she accompanied the women, and walked by everyone easily and cheerfully, leaving a burst of fragrance and a graceful back that led to reverie. Instead, Ah Hui glanced at Peony again and again, and whispered a few words in Qin Niang's ear, but Qin Niang never looked back.

Peony clearly recognized herself when she saw Ah Hui, she didn't believe that Qin Niang didn't see her, but since Qin Niang refused to recognize her, it was okay, and she wouldn't be bored enough to go forward to greet Qin Niang.

Peony looked back at Lu Wulang, but Lu Wulang watched people pass in front of him, and he didn't react at all, just looking at a stranger. She had no choice but to step forward and whisper to remind Lu Wulang: "That's Qin Niang." ”

"I've never met her, so I don't know her." Lu Wulang was taken aback: "Why didn't she say hello to her mother?" As he spoke, he was about to step forward, but Peony hurriedly said, "Don't go." She's probably inconvenient, I see that her maid has probably recognized me, if she is convenient, she will naturally come to recognize each other, let's rush forward, just afraid of causing her trouble. ”

Lu Wulang nodded: "Then I'll start with the people around her." He looked left and right, but saw several camel carts in front of him, and several coachmen were sitting there chatting, so he stepped forward, and found one at random, and said hello. The coachman's mouth was tight, and he couldn't ask for any useful information, so Lu Wulang had no choice but to wait on the sidelines. After a while, Qin Niang sent someone, came back hand in hand with a few women, got into the camel cart, and left. Lu Wulang quietly stayed behind, planning to find a suitable opportunity to come forward and recognize him.

The people of the He family reluctantly sent away He Zhizhong and Da Lang, and they could no longer see their shadows, so they turned around and returned to the city. Mrs. Cen thought that the rest of the people had something to do, and it was not good to make people wait for a long time, so she called Erlang to say that everyone should go first.

Li Yuan glanced at the listless Li Xun, and simply agreed: "I happen to have something important to do, so you're welcome." After saying that, he said goodbye to everyone and took the lead in leaving. From beginning to end, Peony and Li Xun did not say a word.
