Previous Chapter

I raised the little round ball to the top of my head, Xiaohua looked at me on the other side, I raised my hands and pretended to throw the small round ball into the sky, Xiaohua four small short legs of manganese rushed up and pounced in the air, the next time I did the same action, Xiaohua was not fooled, it stretched out its red tongue and looked up at me, and the little tail shook happily.

I squatted down and touched Xiaohua's head, and said with a smile, "Xiaohua, you are quite smart, you have a long memory after a while, as your master, I am very pleased, Xiaohua, you can rest assured, this time I won't lie to you again, come on." I threw the ball into the sky with all my might, and the little flower jumped up from the ground and pounced on it again.

When Bai Xiaoqiu came, I was running in front of me with a round ball, Xiaohua ran after me, I ran round and round, Xiaohua chased after me, I ran sweaty and had no strength, I sat on the ground with a lot of sweat, picked up Xiaohua and gave it a smooth hair, Xiaohua lay in my arms and squinted obediently, very enjoyable.

Bai Xiaoqiu looked at me and Xiaohua from the side, I pretended not to see him, and gave Xiaohua a smooth hair, to be honest, I always feel that my heart is blocked by a breath these days, and I don't know if it's resentment or evil, and I don't know what I'm angry about, anyway, I just don't want to pay attention to him. In the past, how I wished he could treat me well, how much I hoped that he could look at me squarely, how much I hoped that he would be considerate to me, but now, he can finally look at me squarely, and he gave me a little flower for fear that I would be lonely and lonely, he was gentle and considerate to me, I should be happy, but I just can't be happy, I don't know why.

Bai Xiaoqiu was quietly watching me and Xiaohua on the side, I knew that he was not far from me, he was looking at me, but I just didn't want to pay attention to him, and I didn't want to look at him. I closed my eyes and calmed myself.

After a while, I heard Bai Xiaoqiu call me "Feifei" softly.

I heheheed twice and repeated, "Feifei, interesting, twelve less, I have never been your Feifei".

Bai Xiaoqiu's eyes flickered, his face darkened, and he looked at me with puzzled eyes, "What are you talking about, Feifei, I don't understand, why are you always avoiding me these days, you don't want to see me, and you don't want to pay attention to me, why, have I done something wrong."

I turned around to face Bai Xiaoqiu and said with a smile, "Outside Luoyang City, under the Lion Rock, Twelve Shao, do you remember?"

When I finished saying this, I saw that Bai Xiaoqiu's face immediately turned pale, even his lips lost their blood, he looked very angry, I saw him open his mouth, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, just stepped forward and grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the ground. Xiaohua was already asleep, and was woken up by me and Bai Xiaoqiu, and jumped out.

Bai Xiaoqiu pulled me all the way, from the backyard to the corridor to the front yard, he exerted a lot of strength, and my wrist hurt very much, I shouted while breaking free, "Twelve Shao, what are you doing, where are you going to take me."

Bai Xiaoqiu ignored my struggles and shouts, just dragged me by the wrist and walked out of the gate, and then stuffed me into a carriage that had already stopped outside the gate.

Bai Xiaoqiu personally drove the carriage for me, he waved the horsewhip vigorously, the sound of the horse's hooves clattered on the streets of Luoyang City, and the pedestrians on the side of the road screamed loudly, dogs, cats, and other things were also scared to the road, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street kept retreating, and I saw that the stall selling fresh fruit was overturned, and the fruit in the basket rolled to the ground, and the seller selling fresh fruit shouted, "Oh, what can I do, my fruit."

The horse ran fast, and soon after I saw the gate of Luoyang City, there were four guards standing on the left and right sides of the door, all holding spears, solemn and mighty, the little soldier standing in front saw a carriage in the distance coming towards this side, he put the spear on the ground, raised his hand, beckoned the carriage to stop, and after the carriage got closer, the major general quickly stood up, and solemnly shouted, "Major General Cavalry, are you going out of the city?"

Bai Xiaoqiu nodded at the young soldier, and the little soldier quickly flashed aside.

Out of the city gate to turn right is a small road, the road potholes are very difficult to walk, the body is bumpy badly, I sat in the carriage swaying from side to side, almost fell, in a hurry had to clasp the window, the carriage went forward more and more I felt familiar, a heart began to pound non-stop, not a long time to stop in front of an old courtyard door.

I looked at Bai Xiaoqiu in a panic, but he took my hand, and we walked into the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard together, and after seven years of absence, I came back.

The first thing that catches your eye as soon as you enter the door are two red begonias, although the begonia flowers have no fragrance, they are delicate and moving. There are my favorite peonies and peonies in the yard, as well as moon flowers, I once accidentally scratched my hand by a branch when I was pruning the branches and leaves of flowers and plants in this yard, Bai Xiaoqiu helped me bandage it, and he was so gentle at that time. The bamboo chairs in the yard are still there, as well as the wooden ladles and barrels from which I watered the flowers, which are old but still intact.

There are two rooms going inside, one is slightly larger for the hall, the other is the sleeping tent, and there is a home remedy behind the room, which is the room of the girl Ling'er who has been with me since childhood. In the hall there was a simple table, with rice paper and pens on it, and an inkstone, the ink in the inkstone had been polished, and a pot of podocarpus was placed by the window.

Nothing has changed, everything is vivid, and looking at all this makes me feel like I am back to the happy and carefree days of seven years ago.

On that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the blue sky was cloudless, as clear as jasper. I was pruning the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants in the yard, and Ling'er exclaimed, "Miss, this can't be helped, you are pregnant now, how can you get tired of your body." Ling'er was about to come and mix with me as she spoke.

I pulled La Ling'er's arm, "Isn't it just to cut a few flower branches, how can you be tired of me, you don't know, I have never been a delicate and pretentious person."

Ling'er is the person who knows my character best, and when she saw that I was so persistent, she didn't say anything more, brought me a rattan chair, and told me to say, "If you feel tired, rest, and busy pouring me water to drink."

I have always been thin, since I was pregnant, I have been greedy for food and sleep, and I have been kept in captivity, and my body has become fat and unformed after just over four months, and I can't reach the scissors that have slipped from my hands and fallen to the ground.

Seeing my clumsy appearance, Bai Xiaoqiu smiled, he hugged me and sat on a wicker chair in the yard, and said to me, "Fan'er, you must be bored and panicked, how can you do such a rough job, don't you know that you are pregnant?" ”

"It's fine," I said with a smile.

"You are my white smiley woman, how I love you, you don't seem to care."

He's angry?

I took his hand and put it on my slightly bulging belly and said, "Tell me, if this doesn't count as loving you, then what's the matter."

If a woman is willing to give birth to a child for a man, it means that the woman is desperate to give herself to this man.

Bai Xiaoqiu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said continuously, "I know, I know." He took me into his arms, and my head rested on his shoulder, and I was so happy and happy.

He liked the sweet and sour chicken feet I made, so I made them for him, and he didn't get tired of eating them for months. Since I was pregnant, I was a picky eater, I said I wanted to drink porridge, he cooked porridge for me, cooked for me, and when the porridge was cooked and brought to me, I didn't want to eat it, and I wanted to eat noodles, so he hurriedly cooked noodles for me. In our free time, we recited poems and painted together, practiced calligraphy together, fanned me when it was hot, and warmed me by holding my feet on his chest when it was cold. When he went on the expedition, I waited at home day and night, worried and afraid of him, unable to eat and sleep, for fear that he would have some headache, brain fever or misfortune, and my heart thought about him all day long, hoping that he would return safely as soon as possible. I like to stroke the piano, and my favorite song is "Ten Miles Home", I often stroke this piece to him, and he is fascinated by it, and most of the time he falls asleep to the sound of my piano. I said, "Since you like this piece so much, I'll teach you". But he didn't agree, he didn't want to learn because he wanted me to play it to him.

I don't want much, it's nothing more than that you can accompany me to watch the beautiful sunrise, and then, wait for the most beautiful sunset with me, always love only one person, and it's good for a lifetime, but it's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and it's now in a flash.

Scenes of the past came to my heart, and I couldn't control my sadness anymore, so I stopped crying.

I cried very ferociously, the tears couldn't stop flowing down, my body trembled vigorously, Bai Xiaoqiu hugged me from behind, he leaned his head on my shoulder, and said softly, "Fan'er, I'm sorry it's not good for me, don't cry." After saying this, my voice was choked, and then I heard Bai Xiaoqiu cry too, and his tears fell on my back one by one, wetting my clothes. I thought we would be together forever, and he promised me that he would give me a happy home and our children.

"It was you, it was you who killed our children with your own hands". I howled and yelled at him.

"I'm sorry, everything, it's all my fault, everything is my fault."

We hugged each other and cried for a long time, and then I asked him "when did you recognize me".

Bai Xiaoqiu said, "From the time I worshiped the Buddha and burned incense in Jian'an Temple, we met under the tree in the temple, and I recognized you at a glance, Fan'er, I am sorry for you."

I asked again, "So, you know that I entered the White Mansion?" ”

Bai Xiaoqiu lowered her eyes and sighed lightly, "Fan'er, I didn't expect you to kill you in that way, that knife, Fan'er, do you really hate me so much, you hate it so much that you don't care about your own life."

I smiled and said, "My life was buried under the Lion Rock seven years ago, and it was you who pushed me down the mountain, why, I want an answer."

Bai Xiaoqiu didn't reply to me, he said, "Fan'er, let's talk about you first, okay", and then I'll tell you everything about me.

I nodded.

My family is a big family of generations of hairpins, my father is thick and thin, light on fame and fortune, and even more dislike the disputes in the court, after resigning from the official position, he took me and my mother, who were only two years old, to move to Bingzhou, which is far away from the capital.

Because I was born in the cold winter, my mother hoped that I could be an ordinary person with a tenacious heart, and she saw that the plum blossoms outside the window were so simple and elegant, and the demeanor was graceful, like a fairy-like spirit descended to the world, and she named me Su Luofan.

My mother is not in good health, I have never had brothers or sisters since I was born, the family is sparse, my parents are in charge of me alone, as the pearl of the palm, and I have been raised as a boy since I was a child.

Teach me to read and write, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In my spare time, I lay in my father's arms and read thousand-character texts, and went out hunting with my father.

Occasionally, when my father was out hunting, he brought back a rabbit with black hair, and I was so happy that I kept the rabbit in a cage, and went out to find rabbit grass for it to eat, and it was not long before the rabbit died.

My father couldn't bear to see me sad and sad, and promised me that he would find the same rabbit for me again. My father squatted in the haystack every day, but unfortunately contracted a serious disease, and was sick in bed, and he already had a cough, and with some age, the disease became more and more serious.

I clearly remember that it was a rainy day, and my father, who was drinking the decoction, received a letter from Luoyang City.

There are a total of four close relatives in my father's generation, two boys and two girls, the father is the oldest, and the uncle is the last. Both of my aunts were married out of town.

The father immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the bed, and the mother asked Xiao Si to find a hall doctor to treat his father.

The next night, when I saw that the light in my father's room was still on, I pushed the door in, and when my father saw me coming, he leaned back on the bed with half of his hands.

I walked over and sat down beside my father, who burst into tears before he could cry out.

My father stretched out a hand to help me wipe away the tears from my face, calling me "Fan'er" There are old tears in my eyes.

I whimpered and cried as I pillowed on my father's arm. My father told me, "Don't cry, don't cry, my son."

My mother came over and put her arm around my shoulders.

The father sighed, "I don't know how your uncle is now, how can I visit him with this body now, it's really sad."

I looked at my father's bloodshot eyes and haggard cheeks, and comforted my father, "Father, Uncle Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine."

My father was full of worries, and said worriedly, "That being said, I still don't feel at ease, he is my only dear brother."

After pondering for a moment, I took my father's hand and said solemnly, "Father, let the child visit your uncle for you."

My father looked at me fixedly, his eyes were full of love, and he said with pity, "Pity me for being so knowledgeable at such a young age and knowing how to sympathize with my parents, but I am just a daughter of yours。。。。。 ”。

I raised my hand to wipe the tears from my eyes and said, "Father, please rest assured, I will take good care of myself."

The urgency of the situation could not withstand too much delay, so I packed my bags that night and prepared to leave early the next morning.

My mother sent me all the way to the bridge, and she couldn't stop crying, and told me, "This is a long way to go, so you must be careful in everything, don't panic, calm down, and don't act rashly."

I hugged my mother and cried for a while, and then I hurried away with my maid Ling'er.

rushed all the way from Bingzhou to Luoyang City, and met his long-lost uncle, only to learn that his uncle was not in prison at all, it was just a well-intentioned scam.

Because my two aunts married to other places, I am the only daughter of the Su family, and out of good intentions, my uncle does not want me to be like my two aunts, once I get married, it will be difficult to see each other again. There is another reason, the uncle hopes that his father can return to Luoyang, the two brothers are together, and the older they get, the more they miss their relatives.

When I knew that my uncle had deceived me, I was very angry, packed up and prepared to rush back to Jizhou overnight, my uncle told me that it would be his birthday soon, and let me stay until after the birthday before leaving, I looked at the vicissitudes of my uncle's face, and had to agree.

A few days later, in the Zixuan Palace, at the uncle's 50th birthday banquet, the ministers of the court, the dignitaries and nobles, and the eunuchs were invited, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the atmosphere was very lively. I and a group of young girls came together, and the pink delicacy embroidered brocade, and the neon dress and yarn danced lightly won the applause of the audience.

Wine can help the fun, after a dance, the imperial doctor walked up to me with a glass of wine, "Come, respect the little lady, I Tang Feng has lived until now and lacks nothing, except for the position of the second lady who has collapsed."

The implication couldn't be more obvious.

I felt sick when I saw his oily, bloated belly, and the appearance of an old dragon. Because his official position is far above his uncle, although his uncle is unwilling, he doesn't dare to refute his face, so he can only blindly laugh with everyone.

Before this stubble passed, Meng Shenghui, a cabinet scholar, also began to recruit relatives for his son, he pointed at Tang Feng and said, "You old guy, you only lack the position of second lady, you still have three, four, five or six ladies, but my son doesn't even have a wife."

I didn't want to deal with them, but I didn't know how to deal with them, I was stunned and worried, my eyes glanced at me so casually, and I was about to look away, but it was too late.

He Ling Lingran stood up, and a clear spring was as bright as the sun and the moon.

"The song "Ten Miles Home" is like a dream, it is really graceful. Xiaosheng's younger brother is going to marry next month, although there are many singers in captivity in the house, but no one can compare with them.

I bowed slightly, looked at each other, and knew in my heart.

Since it was specifically for me to relieve the siege, I was grateful, so I immediately promised to say, "Let the son see the smile, Su Luofan is willing to go and give it a try."

correct

There is no White House

There is no singing and dancing

Only the flowers before the moon, only the silk of the green yarn, the pillows blended, just like that, I became his woman.

Although I have never set foot in the White Mansion and never know when he will marry me, I am willing to follow him.

In an old-style courtyard outside Luoyang City, the simple placement has become our only home.

We spent more than half a year in this courtyard, until one day, Bai Xiaoqiu said to me, "Fan'er, you haven't seen the plum blossoms outside Luoyang City, Lion Rock, the weather is good today, why don't I take you to see it."

He has been fighting for a long time, it is rare to have this leisure and elegance, I am also difficult to go out in the long house, and after pregnancy, I have not left this courtyard for a moment.

The carriage that day was beautifully decorated, the most beautiful carriage I had ever seen. The roof is covered in gold silk and is surrounded by red ruffle lace, and the windows are obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe. Bai Xiaoqiu personally drove for me, and the two of them were close to each other, although the bumps along the way made me a little uncomfortable, but it did not affect my good mood at all.

Lion Rock is really as beautiful as the legend, tens of thousands of plum blossoms are blooming here, the beauty is colorful, the beauty is graceful and luxurious.

We found a place where the flowers bloomed most and sat down. He took me into his arms, and my head rested on his chest.

"I will marry you, I will definitely give you a beautiful home, Fan'er, you have to wait for me". He kissed me on the forehead and said.

"I believe in you". I nodded.

He talked to me about our soon-to-be-born child, about our meeting and love, about staying together until we grew old, about his great ambition for life, about the legend of Kao and the Queen of Flowers. At the end of the conversation, he even said to me very emotionally, "Fan'er, if I don't become the king of flowers, you come to make flowers, how about we be a pair of fairy couples?" ”

I was touched by his words, and I listened quietly, and did not answer, leaving him alone to entertain himself.

I imagined how happy it would be to bring our children here in the future, and the family of three snuggled together, looking at the pines and cypresses all over the mountain, and the plum blossoms welcoming the dark fragrance and sparse shadows.

After a while, Bai Xiaoqiu said, "Let's go." I said okay, and when I got up, he touched me, he was a major general, and his strength was obviously great, but this touch knocked me down, and the soles of my feet slipped down the cliff, and I quickly grabbed a branch......

"Fan'er, be good, put your hand in my palm, and you'll be fine." As a teenager, I was careless, and based on a beautiful lie, I decided that he was the only one in my life, the one who could save me from danger.

Xiaoqiu, help me, it seems like it's just a joke now.

I fell into a blur of flesh and blood, was found by the monks of the Shanfa Temple, they took me back to the temple, Master Jingling tried his best to save me, I picked up a thin life, after leaving the Shanfa Temple, I inquired everywhere, and finally came to Baifu, but was told the news that the twelve young people had died.

I was very sad, in Luoyang City without relatives after several setbacks to return to Jizhou, I hid outside the window but saw my mother at home for two tablets, one for my father, the other for mine, because my uncle sent someone told my mother that I fell off the cliff and died. My father didn't believe me, he insisted on coming to Luoyang City to find me in person, and he fell down the mountain with the carriage on the way, and died on the spot, and my mother became delirious because of this.

I didn't have the face to see my mother, I didn't have the face to live in the world anymore, I begged for death and threw myself into the pond, and then I was rescued by the abbot of Jian'an Temple. I was disheartened and cut my hair for a nun, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings every day, just wanting to live the rest of my life in peace, but I didn't expect that three years later, I accidentally saw Bai Xiaoqiu who came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, he was not only not dead but also alive and well.

So, I grew my hair long again, just to wait for that day.

I never thought that General Bai Lao was framed, drank poisonous wine and bled to death, and the person who framed General Bai Lao was the current saint, Emperor Jin poisoned General Bai Lao by the hand of the general Bai Zhanqi, Bai Zhanqi naturally put all the blame on the twelve young Bai Xiaoqiu, secretly bought Bai Xiaoqiu's personal guard, and secretly executed him when he was out on the expedition.

Since the death of the old general, Bai Xiaoqiu felt that there was something else hidden in the matter, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he had to find an opportunity to send me away first, but he didn't expect that we had already been targeted, so he had no choice but to take me to Lion Rock.
