"What's wrong? What about him now? ”

"He must already be in the backyard."

I wondered, "When did you come in?" Why didn't I hear anyone coming in? "My room is closest to the compound, and if you want to enter the backyard, you must pass in front of my room, and the back window of my room is also connected to the backyard, so I really didn't hear any movement.

Xia Xia pursed his lips and said, "He didn't come in from the main entrance, he went directly around the back and climbed over the wall into the backyard." ”

"Why don't you go through the front gate, but go over the wall from behind?"

"When I came back after him, Sister Song and they were still eating in the courtyard, maybe he didn't want to run into you, so he went around to the back."

I was stunned, my heart tightened, we were in the courtyard just now, and we were talking about his mother's suicide, should he "hear" it?

Xia Xia said: "Sister Fei don't worry, he didn't hear anything, he just doesn't want to run into you together, maybe he's afraid of another conflict." After he's gone, you don't talk about his mother......"

It turned out that it was not Yan Cuo who heard our conversation, it was Xia Xia.

I touched Xia Xia's braids, I was blind for a while, as if I hadn't seen her for many years, I felt that she had grown up a lot, and even the immature curves on her face that I were familiar with had become different, and she suddenly didn't look like Xiao Xia Xia I had always been familiar with.

"Xia Xia ......" I don't know what to say.

Xia Xia nodded and held my hand, her face was very cold, but her hands were very hot, like her fiery heart: "Sister Fei, don't worry, I know how to do it." ”

Early the next morning, I woke up by myself, and heard Xia Xia running around outside the courtyard Zhang Luo, I can basically see things clearly, so today in the room very seriously picked back the clothes, now Zheng Fu is for the jewelry of the marriage Zhang Luo extravagant, I always have to dress festively, so I picked out an orange and red dress, combed the hair that has not been taken care of for a long time, deliberately braided a small bun, and took out the three hairpins of Cui Ge, there is one I like very much, the hairpin curve is slightly like a butterfly, hollowed out in the middleWhen the sun shines, it seems that there is a lot of sunshine in it, and I put it on the hairpin, and it is very compatible with the color of my clothes, which is very joyful.

The second branch I want to keep and give away, the hairpin tail is sharp, and there are hanging beads-

Xia Xia's footsteps sounded in front of my door, and before she knocked on the door, I answered: "Get up early, Xia Xia, come in quickly." ”

Xia Xia pushed the door in, saw me sitting in front of the combing table and made up, and smiled: "I got up early in the morning and dressed up so carefully, I don't know, I thought Sister Fei was going to meet a lover." ”

I glared at her lightly: "You girl, what's going on lately, you are married to a lover when you open and close, should you want to find a husband's family, are you hinting at me?" ”

Xia Xia smiled: "I'm sorry, who has that idle kung fu - hey, it's such a beautiful hosta, I don't know when I bought it?" "She has always had sharp eyes, and her mind is clear, and she has never seen anything she has never seen, and one glance is enough.

I took out the jade hairpin with hanging beads and shook it in front of her eyes: "I set it with Cui Ge a long time ago, this branch is yours, see if you like it?" ”

Xia Xia smiled stiffly, stared at the hairpin in my hand, and didn't take it, saying, "Why did Sister Fei give me the hairpin?" ”

Xia Xia's reaction made me wonder: "Why can't I give you a hairpin?" I saw that a few of them were beautiful, and I didn't want anyone else to buy them, so I bought them all. You've worked hard during this time, and Sister Fei didn't give you anything, what you wear now is the old one that Sister Fei used before, and this hairpin is brand new——"

Xia Xia pushed it back and said seriously: "Sister Fei, Xia Xia is by your side, what she did for you is not that she wants to get something-"

I sighed, this kid is too sensitive: "You, Sister Fei gave you something, just to give it to you, I just like to watch you accept it happily - you see that I often send things to Song Lingjian and Han Sanxiao, and I don't say anything back, and I am always picked up by that pig's head."

Xia Xia said meticulously: "This hairpin is too valuable." Sister Fei still saves this money, whether it is a dowry in the future, or it is useful to give Yan Cuo as the family capital. ”

"What can you do with this little money? And you are you, Yan is wrong, if you say let me save it as your dowry, then I will collect it for you, and then take it out when you get married, but if you don't wear such a good hosta, wouldn't it be a waste? - By the way, you're almost fifteen years old, right? ”

Xia Xia stared at the hairpin and was silent.

I pulled her over and said, "Just take it, you see I bought three branches, Song Lingjian also has a share, hurry up, I'll give you a hairpin, look at you, your hair is so long, don't always braid a braid like a little girl, you should braid a hairpin hairpin." I'm always confused, I haven't done what a sister should do, but it's you who remind me to take care of me. ”

Xia Xia took the hairpin, stroked it carefully in her hand, and said: "Sister Fei has done a good job, Xia Xia will not be able to report it back in her life - this hairpin is so beautiful, wait until I wash my hair and braid it in a bun one day, thank you Sister Fei." ”

I looked at her and smiled helplessly, what a stubborn girl.

Ready, Xia Xia wrapped me tightly and covered me with sweat.

Because I was afraid that the wind would blow to my eyes, I still wrapped a small veil around my eyes, covered my hat, and covered a small stove to warm my hands. She is always so considerate and thoughtful, which makes me feel that although she is an ordinary person, she is no worse than Miss Qianjin.

When I reached the West Flower Plain, I stopped, turned down my hat, and turned my head to look at the desolate field, perhaps my father's heroic soul was flying in the wind in this atom, watching the passers-by waiting for my appearance.

My father's last wish also puzzled me, why did he sprinkle the ashes in Xihuayuan instead of taking them home? Could it be that this West Flower Plain, or the widow in the West Flower Plain, is more important to him than we are?

"Sister Fei, let's go, there's a strange smell here." Xia Xia was uncomfortable.

I frowned, I remember that Xihuayuan didn't have such a big smell before, at most, it was a particularly weird gust of yin wind, when did it have such a strange smell?

The wind was so strong that my ears quickly stiffened, so I put my hat back on and we moved on.

Before entering the boundary of Zhengfu, I saw that the red silk there was like blood, in stark contrast to the desolate and desolate Xihuayuan, but this red fire can only be watched, but it is still very quiet, there is no noise and gongs and drums like other people's homes, Zhengfu has always been quietly guarding its own boundary, as if deliberately trying to draw a line with the town.

Smoothly entered the Zheng Mansion, the door servants were still very polite, we walked directly to the Kiss Jade Pavilion, and the servants we met on the way naturally saluted us, as if we were originally a member of the Zheng Mansion.

The Jade Pavilion has also changed, there are flowers everywhere, and the walls of the building are also covered with red cloth, I have always liked bright colors, and I suddenly feel that the whole person is much more festive.

Xia Xia stammered: "This brocade cloth is precious, and it is too luxurious to hang it in the courtyard as a decoration." ”

I quietly took the veil of my eyes, looked at this red fire and said with a smile: "The Zheng family is just a young lady, and she will marry only once, how long will you stay if you are not luxurious at this time?" ”

Xia Xia sighed again and again, she has always been very frugal, so she naturally felt pain in such an extravagant approach.

At this moment there was a sound of footsteps in the attic, and a man ran out of it in despair.

"Brother Dabao!" Xia Xia quickly shouted.

The person who ran out stopped and looked up at us, with a round face, big eyes, a wide mouth and confused eyes, looking very cute and cute, but this childish face did not match his tall stature, it turned out that Dabao looked like this, and it was the first time I saw it.

"Fei-Sister Fei, Sister Xia Xia, why are you here?" Dabao's aggrieved face immediately became vivid, and he quickly took a few steps towards us with long hands and feet.

"For there is!" Two people came out from behind, and one of them stopped Dabao with a stern drink.

Dabao seemed to have invisible chains tied to his hands and feet, and immediately retreated.

Father?

I was stunned!

Am I dazzled?!

I quickly rubbed my eyes with my hands!

Xia Xia turned her head to look at me, wondering why I was stunned there, so I had to greet the three of them first: "Master Zheng, Master Huang, Brother Dabao." Sister Fei and I came to see Miss Zheng, I don't know if it's convenient now? ”

Master Zheng smiled warmly: "Ai'er is upstairs, if you want to see it, go up, the circle will be prepared." ”

The more I rubbed my eyes, the more confused I became, and I stared at the man next to Master Zheng in a daze.

This face is so similar to the face of my father in my dream in my memory, and the eyebrows and demeanor are so similar, but there are more neat beards - but if my father is at this age, he should also have the beard that only these elders have-

Dabao stood behind the man with his shoulders shrunk, waving his hands excitedly and sadly, looking at me: "Sister Fei, are your eyes better?" Did you really see the big treasure? ”

I still stared at the man, I knew that he was Master Huang, I had seen a few times with a veil before, and I only felt very familiar, but I didn't expect that he looked so similar to my father-

Master Zheng smiled: "Ai'er is already waiting upstairs, let's go up - Shanrou, let's go too." ”

Master Huang seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and immediately turned his face and walked away with Master Zheng.

Dabao looked at us reluctantly from behind the two of them, as if begging us to keep him.

Xia Xia looked at me and said to Huang Dabao: "Brother Dabao, Sister Fei loves the rock sugar lotus seed porridge stewed for Sister Fei last time, can I ask you?" ”

Dabao looked crying and said, "I'...... I...... Daddy......"

Old Man Huang didn't look back, shook his hand and said, "It's rare that someone will ask you something, go ahead." ”

As soon as the two masters walked out of the courtyard, he ran towards us with a strange range of movements, and my eyes were moist, and I asked Xia Xia softly: "Xia Xia, why didn't you tell me that Master Huang looks so much like my father?" ”

Xia Xia turned to look at me and said strangely, "Really? But I haven't seen Uncle Yan, I just think he looks quite similar to Yan Cuo, and we also said that when Yan Cuo gets old in the future, he will be the same as Master Huang-"

At this time, Dabao had already arrived in front of us, shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, they are all so fierce, and their brows are so wrinkled, they can make people's courage shattered!" ”

Xia Xia chuckled: "If you let the two of you go there, those who don't know will think that they are father and son." ”

Dabao also laughed innocently. The two of them stood and met like two little guessing playmates.

I looked at Dabao in a daze as he grinned and laughed, indeed, there was no shadow of Master Huang on his face. There are not many people who have seen Master Huang, Han San laughed at Song Lingjian including Xia Xia, they all know that I have a father who has been missing for many years, but they have never seen him, no wonder no one came to me in surprise and said that there is someone who looks so much like my father......
