Uncle Yan frowned and looked at Zheng Jewel, while Uncle Hei looked at me worriedly, as if asking me what was going on.

I shook my head lightly, waved my hand, and told them to go back to the backyard.

Nuan Nuan trembled and was pulled away by Uncle Hei, and Zheng Jewel kept glaring at them fiercely until they all left.

I pulled Zheng Zhuzhu to my side and said softly: "Angry is angry, don't hurt yourself." ”

Zheng Zhu gasped and said in a trembling voice: "I told my father that I would rather die than marry that fool, but my father told me not to be so willful, he will only say that the person who wants to marry is me and not him!" Then I'll die to show him! But it's useless, my father didn't have time to know at all, this matter was covered up by Li Fengmei's old monster, sister, I sneaked out today, it's impossible to go back, anyway, you are going to get married tomorrow, and I can't go to get married, today is our last meeting, I can't go to the imperial capital again, and the Huang family's power there is not small - please sister, you don't know about it, after I go out with Nuan Nuan from this door, I will never come back. ”

"You're running away from home?"

Zheng Zhuzhu nodded firmly, and said: "Don't worry, someone will take care of us, it's just my mother, I can't take her with me for a while, please sister, you tell your uncle, so that he can pay more attention to my mother, I'm not by her side, the old monster will definitely try to calculate her." ”

I hurriedly said, "You two little girls, who have no relatives, where are you going?" ”

Zheng Zhuzhu said firmly: "I would rather be displaced outside than be trapped in this place and wait for someone else to arrange my fate." Don't worry, sister, when the time comes, I will naturally go to you. ”

I pulled her and asked inexplicably, "Do you have a sweetheart?" Why are you so reluctant to marry into the Huang family? ”

Zheng Zhuzhu pursed his lips and nodded earnestly at me.

"You came out with so much gold, silver and jewelry, did you just want to elope with him?"

Zheng Zhuzhu shook his head and said, "I never planned to leave with the Zheng family's things, and he didn't stay with me because I was a young lady of the Zheng family. It's useless for me to take these jewelry, and my mother will be snatched away by the old goblin when she takes it, I'd rather give it all to my sister, I know that my sister is not rare, but it's better than giving it to someone else. ”

A face appeared in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is this person—"

Zheng Zhuzhu nodded vigorously, his eyes were already full of tears, this kind of tearful haze has nothing to do with weakness, but a kind of firmness and touching: "Sister is exquisite, and she has never been able to hide it from you." He said that he would like to rely on me for everything, even if my final decision was to marry someone else, he said as long as I was happy. He's said that, I can't afford to let him down, it's the best decision, isn't it? Sister, you're going to support me, right? ”

I gently took her hand and stroked her paranoid scar, if I didn't support her, she would still have to use all kinds of methods to resist powerlessly, so I had to say, "Remember to take care of yourself." ”

Zheng Jewel shook my hand, smiled, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes: "No matter what, in the end, we still kept the agreement of the year and got married together, didn't we?" ”

I nodded, the corners of my eyes were wet, and I looked up to see my father standing in the corridor of the small building, my mother was still in the room, the candlelight cut out the shadow of her beautiful side face, she did not come out to preside over my pre-wedding wine as my father wished, my father listened to our young and persistent conversation, and his eyes seemed to be full of scars.

Dad, after I got married, did the world you pinned on suddenly become empty? You and your mother, are you still living a life close to the end of the world, who will fill the empty house, and who will wipe the sorrow between your brows again?

A pair of gentle hands reached out through the dream, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of my eyes, gentle, slightly fragrant, which shattered my dream and pulled me back to reality.

I opened my eyes and vaguely saw a plain white skirt disappearing into the corner of my eye, who was that?

I sat up, it was already dark, the room was very warm, the fire in the furnace was still quite strong, I think someone had come to add to it during the night.

I got up and pushed the window crack, and the cold wind poured in, and the ground was wet, it should have rained during the night, and now although it didn't rain again, the wind was damp. It was really cold, but the cold wind woke me up from my dream. I thought back to the world in my dream that didn't belong to me, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Those who I have been sad to die are still alive, and those who have lost their happiness have finally returned to the life they want, Li Xue married Lian Xiao, and after many years, she gave birth to a child and served the elderly, and became a nagging busy, aging and bloated woman; Zheng Jewel's daring temperament has become extremely sharp in the day and night battles with the eldest lady, and he is extreme and willful to pursue his own happiness and not hesitate to hurt himself; My father lived as I had hoped, was admired, protected me, and kept me estranged, but he was still estranged from my mother, and we were always separated, but in another way.

Maybe I didn't know that Han Sanxiao and their existence were unknown in the dream, I didn't know that there would be hunting women in this world, and I didn't know that the husband would sleep lazily every night, and I didn't know the pain of cannibalism...... But everything is not as perfect as I imagined, the reason why the hypothetical is perfect is because we unconsciously let them avoid the delicacy of reality, so they are above everything, and if the wind and frost are not involved in the imagination, why not put them in the box to make them flawless?

Perhaps, this is a better ending, sometimes obediently accepting fate, is it a little happier than powerless resistance?

I suddenly wanted to go home, listen to Xia Xia's crisp voice, look at Han Sanxiao's scoundrel's virtue and Song Lingjian's ignorant expression, as well as Yan Cuo's disdainful sneer, and the blue eyes of Haipiao's warm veins, all of which make me miss it so much, I miss it so much that I want to see it immediately, and you who are not in my dream are what I should cherish the most.

The sun is shining in the dream, but there is no temperature on the body, but it is the wind and frost in this reality, which makes people feel so real.

I was so anxious that I turned around the room and found that I couldn't find the clothes that I had changed out of when I was wet, thinking that they had taken them to wash them, so I had to put on them and go home first, and then return them when the time came.

The water in the thermostat was slightly cold, and I hurriedly turned my face first, and looked in the mirror, the face in the mirror was still my familiar face, thin, slightly haggard, not as beautiful and warm as in my dream, but it was the way I was used to it, and it was also the way they liked.

No—I remember yesterday when I walked in the mirror, it wasn't like that, how did I wake up and change my hair? I remembered the figure I saw vaguely when I woke up in the morning, could it be that someone had come into the room to comb my hair? Why do you want to comb my hair?

Creeps.

I shook my head, slapped my face hard, put on my hat and walked out.

It's still early, there is no one in the courtyard, it is estimated that there was a toss last night, and they are still asleep. I don't dare to alarm Madame and Rongye, lest I have to make trouble again. There are usually people guarding the door in the yayuan, and I only need to explain to the messenger who guards the door.

Walking to the outer courtyard in the wind, sure enough, someone was leaning on the courtyard wall, standing still, and I didn't know whether he was napping or wandering. I took a few more steps, and the man immediately stood up and bowed his head respectfully at the sight of me.

This greeting is too polite, isn't it?

I wrapped my arms tightly and approached him and said, "Big brother, I want to trouble you with something." ”

The man jerked his head up and glared at me.

I was startled, and also glared at him, I didn't expect that this poor brother was quite young, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his appearance should be very delicate, but there was a half-finger-long scar between his eyebrows, which looked a lot more ruffian.

"It's Miss Yan - I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

This sound sounds familiar to me.

I smiled and said, "I bothered you last night, and if there is something at home today, I will go back first, if Mrs. asks about it, I will ask the eldest brother to tell them, so as not to worry them." ”

He stared into my eyes and asked, "Are Miss Yan's eyes all right?" Able to walk alone? ”

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the poor people in the yayuan were very attentive to my eyes, and I couldn't help but be a little moved, and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's much better." It's not far away, you can go back. ”

He frowned slightly, stood up straighter, and said, "The sky is still gray, and the ground is slippery, so I'll send the girl back." ”

I was suddenly stunned, and with an indescribable thought, I blurted out: "I remember your voice, it's the big brother who sent me back last night, right?" ”

He smiled a little unexpectedly, and the scar at the end of his eyebrows seemed to be dancing: "It's been so long, Miss Yan actually remembers my voice?" ”

I smiled and said, "Don't forget, blind people's ears are very powerful, I asked the adults yesterday about you, I want to say thank you to you, I also know that your name is Chen Bing, right?" ”

Chen Bing nodded, smiled more straightforwardly, and said, "The girl is serious, where the responsibility is, you don't have to remember it." ”

I looked at this Chen Bing, the ruffian between my eyebrows reminded me of Han Sanxiao, I felt quite kind, and said with a smile: "If you help, you will help, don't say that you are not responsible, but don't tell me these official tones, you are uncomfortable." I'll thank you next time I'm free—I'll have to go back before the people in the courtyard get up, or Madame will be kind to me again." ”

Chen Bing looked at the courtyard and said, "I'll go and call the brother who is on duty to get up and explain a few words, and then send the girl home." ”

"No—"

I didn't finish the word "no", Chen Bing had already left in a hurry. I'm really afraid that Rong Ye or someone will get up, and when they see me here, they will definitely pull me in and work for a long time, so I walked sideways to the outside of the courtyard and waited for Chen Bing.

After a while, there was a very light footstep in the courtyard, Chen Bing poked his head out and looked at me, and smiled: "Why are you waiting here?" I thought the girl was saying goodbye without saying goodbye. ”

I smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the people in the courtyard will get up and see it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Let's go. ”

Chen Bing also thoughtfully brought an umbrella, even though it didn't rain.
