Ah Xi didn't realize that she had lost the jade pendant, and all she was thinking about was a matter of running a family wine today. There are too few things to play in Sujia Village, except for climbing trees and digging birds' eggs to catch earthworms, there is only the most frolicking house wine left.

The pretending to be the bride and the groom are all coming in turn, and now it is her and Brother Cheng Yu's turn. Brother Cheng Yu was originally the most disdainful of playing this kind of game with them, and he didn't know how to allow it today.

Ah Xike definitely couldn't miss this opportunity, as soon as he came out of the forest, he looked at Su Muyun's figure from afar, and immediately shouted, "Yun'er, come on, come quickly, you hurry up and change the bride's clothes, and you will be able to marry Brother Cheng Yu later." ”

Ah Xi said, and suddenly rubbed in front of Su Muyun, and stuffed the red gauze skirt in his hand into her hand.

The red color is lined with Yun'er's small hands like green and white lotus, making the complexion particularly white and tender. Su Muyun listened to her voice, and also turned around, bent her eyebrows and bent her eyebrows, and Ah Xi's head was a little, "Ah Xi, where did you go, let's find it." ”

"I'm going to the grove." Ah Xi squinted her eyes, and the red hijab suddenly covered Su Muyun's head, although she was only six years old Yun'er, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, and she looked like a beautiful embryo.

But Su Muyun was a little hesitant when she held the red gauze skirt in her hand, "Axi, today is your turn to be the bride, isn't it good for you to give it to me?" ”

"Eh, what's wrong?" Ah Xi stuck out his tongue, leaned into Su Muyun's ear and said, "Yun'er, don't you like Brother Cheng Yu, today he is not easy to agree to be the groom official, how can you miss this great opportunity, not to mention that I see, this Su family village, you are the best match for Brother Cheng Yu, and the one who will marry Brother Cheng Yu in the future must be you." ”

Sujia Village said that it is not big, but it is not small, there are so many children and girls in the village, but they all know Cheng Yu, but it is not because of anything else. It's just that there are children in this Su family village, and only Ah Xi and Na Chengyu don't have the surname Su.

Ah Xi and Cheng Yu were both brought to Sujia Village by Granny Su, and Ah Xi had heard her mother-in-law say that the surname of Cheng Yu's brother is the same as that of the current emperor, so whether it is in the eyes of her mother-in-law or other adults in Sujia Village, Cheng Yu is very different.

Moreover, although he is not much older than Ah Xi and them, he is smart and very old-fashioned, and other boys of the same age in the village are all like a bunch of little bastards when they come to Cheng Yu, otherwise, Yun'er will not just like Cheng Yu all the time.

In Ah Xi's heart, he is optimistic about Brother Cheng Yu.

She only thought so, and immediately helped Su Muyun put on the veil, and saw that Cheng Yu was also surrounded by a group of boys. Cheng Yu, who is two years older than Ah Xi, is already taller, and his warm and calm eyebrows are also particularly eye-catching among many little children.

Ah Xi looked at it, then took Su Muyun's hand and raised it, "Brother Chengyu, your bride is here." ”

"Ah Xi......" Cheng Yu listened to Ah Xi's words, frowned, and then looked at Su Muyun, who was looming in the red hijab, with a red face, his face sank, and he shouted softly, "Yun'er." It's just that the words behind him were drowned in the frolic, the two were embraced, and they leaned together at once, and the two cows for the head rushed to the front, and they began to worship and marry with the appearance of adults.

Ah Xi helped Su Muyun, her eyebrows and eyes narrowed into crescents, she looked at Yun'er for a while, and then looked at Brother Cheng Yu on the side.

Well! When they grow up, she will definitely let Yun'er marry Brother Cheng Yu so happily.

……

Ten years have passed since this sentence was spoken.

Ten years have passed, and it is like a white horse passing through a gap, and in a blink of an eye, Ah Xi and Su Muyun have already bowed.

It's just that although Sujia Village is still the same Sujia Village, those laughter and laughter have gradually buried a lot, and the grove is still the same grove, but now, Ah Xi feels that the breeze with small leaves is no longer as comfortable as before, and even she seems to be able to smell the faint smell of blood.

Su Muyun stood under the big tree, looked for a long time before finding Ah Xi on the tree, tilted her head and shouted loudly: "Ah Xi." ”

"Ahh

Ah Xi was originally hiding above to enjoy the coolness, and was walking in his mind, when he suddenly heard Su Muyun's shout, his feet slipped, and he fell down with a flutter, which made Su Muyun on the side cover his mouth and laugh.

She rubbed her sore buttocks, very aggrieved, "Ouch, it hurts, Yun'er, you know how to scare me, but you don't want my ass to bloom." ”

Su Muyun still snickered, "Who let you not see you for a while, and then ran to the tree again." Axi, your tree-climbing skills are about to catch up with the brothers in the village. ”

"Wrong, wrong, wrong." Ah Xi listened to Su Muyun's words, raised a finger and shook it vigorously, and his little mouth was about to reach the sky, "What do you mean by catching up, they can't climb trees as well as me, and they are like carrying turtle shells on their backs." ”

"Yes, yes, but at least people don't fall down." Su Muyun looked at Ah Xi's appearance, and the smile on her face became thicker and thicker. She lives up to what adults said when she was a child, the original beauty embryo has now become slim and elegant.

Eaciated cheeks, slender eyebrows and eyes, docile lips always bent upwards shallowly, waist-length hair in a simple but neat bun, obediently draped over her shoulders, just a gentle beauty at a glance.

I had to be in Ah Xi, but I didn't lag behind, the small goose egg face has a beauty that is not ordinary to Su Muyun, less her delicacy, but a little more smart and cute, a pair of peach blossom eyes are as bright as stars when they don't smile, and when they laugh, they are like crescent moons, with two heroic eyebrows that have rhyme.

Ah Xi nodded towards Su Muyun, and then walked to the tombstone on the side, a simple tablet with only the neat word "Han" written on it.

She swept the fallen leaves on the stele, and her voice faded a little before she said: "Actually, I was thinking about how long it will take ten years to make so many things happen in this world." ”

"yes." Su Muyun listened, nodded, and her mood was a little lower, "Do the math, Granny Su has been gone for almost three years, and A-Niang has also been gone for a while, and there are fewer and fewer people in Sujia Village." ”

Only ten years have passed, and the name of the northern country has changed from Dewu to Gaode, and now, it has been renovated again into the New Year of the Ming Emperor.

Even if too many people don't admit it, the northern kingdom has already changed hands. In the twenty-sixth year of his reign, Cheng Wu died, and his youngest son Cheng Gao succeeded to the throne, but he was only three years old.

In the third year of Gaode, Sima Nan's layout was mature, he launched a palace coup, and ordered the little emperor to issue an edict to the Zen throne, and the world in the north changed the country name like this, "Ming".

In fact, Ah Xi knows that for the people of them, whoever is the emperor is the same, otherwise the people of the north will not be able to live in poverty, and the people will not put their only hope on Sima Nan.

It's just that this Sima Emperor is no better, as soon as he changed the name of the country, he began to promulgate a new policy, under this new policy, on the surface, it is to liberate slaves and open up farmland, but the people of the northern country under this dire situation, where can they withstand such a toss.

The disadvantages of the new policy became more and more obvious with time, the commoners had nowhere to make a living, the rights of the nobility were weakened, and the finances were only in the hands of Sima Nan alone, and the whole northern country was full of waves.

Under the pressure, there will be resistance, not to mention the rise of the grass bandits, and even the old dynasty that had been suppressed by Sima Nan before began to recruit troops and horses everywhere, trying to rebuild the old dynasty. In this way, the northern kingdom was in turmoil, the princes rose up, and the drums of war rang out everywhere. Even the neighboring State of Chu took the opportunity to wave the banner of extinguishing the Ming and came violently.

Sujia Village is hidden in the deep valley, although it is isolated from the outside world, but the spread of this war is still inevitably involved, but in just ten years, the mother-in-law is gone, Su Muyun's father and aunt are also gone, and there are fewer and fewer people in Sujia Village.

Su Muyun thought about this, and her face became more and more dull, "But I can't complain about anything else, Ah Xi, we are in troubled times, so we can't avoid this." In today's world, it has become a mess. ”

Ah Xi listened to Su Muyun's words, was slightly stunned, raised her head to look at her, but her eyes were a little fluttering.

The world is going to be a mess. In fact, she had heard this sentence three years ago, and she remembered that when her mother-in-law was dying, she was holding her hand, such a slender hand like a withered vine, but it seemed that she suddenly had infinite strength.

The mother-in-law said: "The northern country is rioting, the Chu country is about to move, Sima Nan's time has come, and the world should be in chaos." My Xi'er, in this troubled world, my mother-in-law can't protect you, everything can only rely on yourself. ”

"Granny Su actually knew about the current situation ten years ago." Su Muyun took a deep breath and was very surprised. "Could it be that my mother-in-law knows divination?"

Ah Xi nodded Su Muyun's little nose, "Silly Yun'er, where do you have to say divination." The situation in the world is divided and combined, and many things are actually fixed. It's like playing chess, you can see several steps behind you when you take one step, and your mother-in-law is just looking far away. ”

Su Muyun listened, but she was still a little puzzled, and then only shook her head, "It's just these big things in the world, where is it the turn to get a little woman like you and me to reconcile, naturally there are those big men to calm down, and we will only survive for a few years." ”

"Yun'er, you're wrong again." Ah Xi wrinkled his nose, raised his hand and stretched his waist, "This world is not only for men, who stipulates that women must rely on men to protect." At least for now, I will definitely protect Sujia Village well. ”

Ah Xi will never forget what her mother-in-law said before her death, they are the Han family.
