Jiang Zhiyuan first went to the first post station on the outskirts of the city and asked the steward of the post station, who said that he had not seen the post post settle here. Jiang Zhiyuan took advantage of the fact that it was not dark and chased Tang Wang again.

found Tang Wang, but there was still no trace. However, it was late, so Jiang Zhiyuan rested for one night, and immediately rode to Shiqiao on horseback the next day. As a result, the little guy at the post station said that the post post had just left, and he chased along the road non-stop, and finally found the post post outside the gate of Zhenjiang City.

Jiang Zhiyuan lied that the letter was wrong, and it was Jiang Fan who ordered him to recall it quickly. The letter was an important personal possession, and the postman hesitated not to give it to him. He took out the token of the official commander and scolded the post post, and as soon as the post post saw the token of the government, he immediately took out the letter and handed it to him.

Jiang Zhiyuan got the letter, rushed back to Yangzhou Yamen on the same day, and threw the envelope on Jiang Daren's case.

Master Jiang didn't expect that he would succeed in intercepting the letter, but he still looked unhurried: "What if you intercept it?" ”

"Please father, stop pulling the red line!"

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't want to reason with his father, so he left behind this sentence.

Lord Jiang is not in a hurry, what if Jiang Zhiyuan intercepts the letter? Master Jiang can also write thousands of letters. The marriage between the Jiang family and the Hai family is a sure thing.

The cold wind enters the night, and the wax moon and winter plum.

Guo Xiaoxiao returned home yesterday, and it was another sleepless night. Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes closed and opened, opened and closed, and so on, and tossed for an hour.

Xiaolan knew that she was upset, so she went back to the room to see her. Sure enough, sleepless nights. Xiaolan took out a small object from the drawer of the cabinet, walked to Guo Xiaoxiao's bedside, and carefully hung it on the bed.

"What is this?" Guo Xiaoxiao turned over and asked.

"This was given to the young lady by the eldest lady of the Yuan family that day, and the slave maid smelled it and felt very fragrant. In winter, the house burns charcoal, and the smell is not good, so the slave maid thinks of hanging this for the young lady, so that she can sleep more peacefully. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the light blue brocade bag on the drapery, hanging in the air and dangling a few times, as if he was shaking. Xiaolan closed the door and retreated, Guo Xiaoxiao closed his eyes again, and forced himself to sleep.

Blurry and hazy, Guo Xiaoxiao felt that the light shadow was faint, and he gradually couldn't see the light clearly......

When I woke up, it was the ninth day of the lunar month, and it was one day closer to the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. In the next few days, Guo Xiaoxiao felt much more comfortable than before when he fell asleep every night.

However, she was still depressed because of Jiang Zhiyuan's affairs. During this period, I went to Zijinfang a few times, but I had no choice but not enough strength, Yarong was distracted by what she was doing, so she let her go back to the house to rest.

Master Guo also knew that she didn't brow all day, so he didn't let her take care of Zijin Fang anymore. In this way, it was muddy, painless, and felt no pain on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month. Xiaolan couldn't bear to see her depressed every day, so she dragged her to Qingyun Temple to burn incense.

There was no snow that day, Guo Xiaoxiao held his plush hands and Xiaolan and Datang, and rode out of the suburbs of the city in a carriage. Qingyun Temple is green in summer and autumn, but in winter, it all turns into a red cloth.

"Look, miss, there's a bird in the treetops." Xiaolan lifted the window and smiled.

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, but he actually had no intention of appreciating it. When they arrived at Qingyun Temple, the two went to burn incense under the leadership of the host.

Xiaolan smiled: "Today is really lively, many girls in Yangzhou City come to burn incense." ”

"Yes, the new year is coming, come and worship the Buddha, and replace the old charm with the new peach."

"If only Miss could think like this."

Not far away, two girls whispered again, Xiaolan listened to it and found that they were talking about the banyan tree seeking marriage, Xiaolan thought, isn't it the hundred-year-old banyan tree in front!

Xiaolan was in a hurry: "Miss, I heard that Qingyun Temple also grows kale, and it is much larger than those in our house, let's go and have a look." ”

"Okay."

Although Xiaolan deliberately avoided the banyan tree, her deliberateness still made Guo Xiaoxiao suspicious. On the way back, there were girls walking in the same direction as before, and the girls were whispering, shy and happy.

Guo Xiaoxiao still saw through Xiaolan's thoughts, so it's okay, she thought to herself, anyway, she has no intention of divining on the matter of marriage.

Actually, there are no kale at all!

Xiaolan took Guo Xiaoxiao around for a long time, but fortunately, Guo Xiaoxiao didn't lose his temper, and he didn't ask questions, so Xiaolan excused herself to have diarrhea and went to the toilet.

Guo Xiaoxiao clasped his hands and waited in place. In the distance, there were two birds in the treetops, chirping, as if they were playing.

"Hmph." Guo Xiaoxiao pouted, "Even you guys are laughing at me?" ”

As soon as she said this, the two birds chirped even harder. One pecks the other's wings with its beak.

"Show affection!" Guo Xiaoxiao bent up, picked up some snowflakes and kneaded them into snow balls, and threw them at the two birds.

The two birds were startled and jumped up from the treetops, but after a while, they landed on the treetops again, tilting their heads and chirping at Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Ouch!" Guo Xiaoxiao picked up a few more snow balls and slammed them over.

The birds jumped up and down in shock.

"I let you show affection! I let you show your affection! If you don't clean you up, you won't know how powerful my Miss Guo is. ”

However, the two birds, small in size and light in their steps, avoided both of them.

"Dether!"

Guo Xiaoxiao threw down his plush hand, ran to the side to pick up a branch, and ran towards the treetops.

"Smack! Syllable! Guo Xiaoxiao whipped and whipped on the treetops, and the birds were so frightened that they scurried around.

"How?" Guo Xiaoxiao put his hands on his waist, looking confident.

A bird shook the treetops with its feet, and scattered snowflakes fell on Guo Xiaoxiao's head. The two birds flew away triumphantly.

"Excessive!" Guo Xiaoxiao stood in place, fangs and claws.

At this moment, a man walked behind him. The man picked up the plush hand she had thrown to the ground and walked over to her.

Guo Xiaoxiao heard footsteps behind him, looked back, recognized the person who came, took it and wanted to leave.

"Is that why you hate to see me?" The man grabbed her arm.

"Don't you hate to see me?" Guo Xiaoxiao broke his hand away, "I won't stay with you, so as not to obstruct your eyes." ”

"Xiaoxiao." Jiang Zhiyuan grabbed her arm again, "I will talk nonsense when I am drunk that day." ”

"Really?" Guo Xiaoxiao met his eyes, "You didn't have a little alcohol on your body that day, you didn't eat wine at all, why do you say that you are drunk!" ”

"Yes, I didn't eat, but I'm still drunk. I was drunk in my heart, drunk because I was alone. ”

"Don't dig a hole for yourself, let yourself jump." Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and left.

"Xiaoxiao!" Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly hugged her from behind, "You don't want this!" I'm really sad that you're like this, even more sad than being shot a few arrows. Every time I quarrel with you, I feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I hate myself too, why do I say those hurtful things......"

"You let go of me!" Guo Xiaoxiao's face was expressionless, wanting to open his arms.

"No, I won't let it go." He hugged her tightly, "I know you are annoyed with me and complain about me, but I won't let go." ”

"You let go!" Guo Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"Don't let go."

"Let go!"

"Don't let go." He imprisoned her with his body, "I won't let you go until I die." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly exerted all his strength, trying to escape from him with his teeth and claws.

Her eyes began to fill with tears, and finally she was exhausted and locked in his arms.

His chin rested on her neck and he sat in the snow with her in his arms.

"What do you want?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

He didn't answer, feeling the coldness of her fingers, he took off his cloak and put it on her.

Who knew that she ripped off his cloak and roared, "Why are you pestering me? Why won't you let me go? Do you know that I've been living like a year for a while. You scold me, fall in love with other men, how ugly it is! I've been looking forward to you, to seeing you, and I want to talk to you calmly. But, it's ......."

When she said this, she suddenly lost her voice, and two lines of tears flowed down. He stepped forward to hug her, but was pushed away by her hands.

"But you let me go, and you say I'm in your way. You know how cold my heart was then? She stretched out her finger and pointed to the white snow in the field, "At that time, there was goose feather snow floating outside the house, and a biting cold wind was blowing in my ears, but no matter how cold it was, it was not as cold as you, and every word was like a knife!" ”

He sat on the ground and looked at her, his eyes suddenly red.

"Xiaolan is afraid that you will see my haggard appearance, so she specially put on beautiful makeup for me, just like you see me today, my face is as delicate as a flower, but I don't know that I can't sleep at night, and I feel sorry for you in my heart!"

As she spoke, she knelt down, her knees buried in the snow, tears melted the frost, and she clutched the corners of her clothes, crying silently.

"How can I feel better?" He looked at her stupidly, "I learned that Lu Dongyang lived in your mansion, and I just, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and I wish I could live in your mansion too." I can't see you talking and laughing with other men, I can't see you being bullied. ”

He knelt down to her step by step, and whispered: "I am angry with you, and I hate myself at the same time; While I drove you away, I wished I had you by my side. ”

He hugged her gently and said softly: "The love between you and me is like a flower rope with tenacity; If one side lets go, both sides lose! ”

This time, she didn't push him away, and turned her head to pounce on him with tears in her eyes.

"You bastard! You bastard! She burst into tears and thumped his chest several times with her hand.

"Yes, I'm a bastard, I'm the worst and baddest bastard in the world." He put his arms around her and cried and laughed, "Then would you like to live with this bastard?" ”

"You bastard!" She looked up at him.

"The bastard has been scolded by you very badly, are you still going to be angry with this bastard?"

She ignored him, sniffled, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then stood up and searched around.

He got up from the ground: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Looking for something." She bent over.

"Looking for what?"

"It's the one I held when I came."
