In the blink of an eye, it was late spring April, Lu Jiayue's birthday.

Ding Can's injuries have improved a lot, after all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his physical foundation is good, although he is seriously injured and sick, he recovers faster than ordinary people.

This is the happiest birthday Lu Jiayue has had in the past and present life, in the past five years.

She is fifteen years old, and having her father by her side is the best birthday ceremony for her.

After her birthday, Ding Can was already able to ride a horse, so he took her to see Huangguoshu Waterfall.

The fast horse galloped, and arrived at Zhenning County, where Huangguoshu Waterfall is located, in an hour.

Because he didn't know the way, he hired a guide in the county and walked all the way to the waterfall.

On both sides are strange mountains and boulders, dense forests cover the sky, and the grass under the feet is mossy and rugged.

Ding Can and Lu Jiayue walked one after the other, and seeing that the road under their feet was getting more and more difficult to walk, Ding Can stopped and stretched out his hand to Lu Jiayue.

Neither of them felt that there was anything wrong, so they naturally clasped their hands and walked side by side.

The guide was a young man, although he was a Miao person, but he could also speak Chinese, because he had been doing the work of guiding the way all the year round, he loved to talk and laugh with people, so he smiled at Ding Can and Lu Jiayue: "Where did the two distinguished guests come from?" ”

Ding Can smiled: "That's a little far... We are from Yanjing. ”

The guy was a little surprised, "That's really far away, are you two here to see the waterfall?" ”

Ding Can said: "Come to Guiyang Mansion to do some things, and in your spare time today, you will come to enjoy the wonders." ”

The guy nodded and said with a smile: "It's good, the husband and wife are inseparable, they are together wherever they go, they are really envious--- you two are not newly married, right?" They look like a couple. ”

Lu Jiayue's face was flushed with shame.

It seems that it was the hands of the two that made this guy misunderstand.

Lu Jiayue wanted to withdraw her hand from Ding Can's palm.

But he couldn't retreat, and was held tightly by Ding Can.

Looking up, Ding Can was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

She suddenly noticed that the way he looked at her was different from before.

But when did it start to be different?

But she didn't want to remember it.

The mountain breeze was cool, puffing on her hot cheeks, and smelling the fresh smell of the mountains and forests and plants between her noses.

And he was by her side, holding her hand and accompanying her to where she wanted to go.

She only felt stable and sweet in her heart.

Is this what others call the quiet years?

It turns out that you can have such a good time in your life...

How did you think about it in the past? How dare you think about it?

After seeing the Huangguoshu Waterfall, sighing that the creation of heaven and earth is magical, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, Lu Jiayue reluctantly returned to Zhenning County with Ding Can.

Then rode back to Guiyang Mansion, it was dusk.

Outside the city, Ding Can reined in his horse and walked slowly.

At this time, the sunset was brilliant in the western air, the sun was shining, the vegetation was lush, as if enveloped in mist, and flocks of small finches passed through the forest and returned to the distance.

Ding Can couldn't help but feel sad and sighed: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk..."

Lu Jiayue smiled thoughtlessly: "Second uncle, there are willow tops on the moon, and people are about after dusk." ”

After speaking, I heard Ding Can laugh.

Lu Jiayue came back to her senses at this time, and she blushed.

Ding Can looked at her shy and coquettish appearance, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Although the two rode together, Lu Jiayue sat in front of him, and he did not dare to cross the rules at will, deliberately separating the two of them by two or three inches along the way.

At this time, there was a difficulty in self-restraint, and the urge to hug her tightly into his arms.

The little girl trusts him and relies on him like this, does she just treat him as an elder?

He was injured in bed, she never left an inch, taking care of him day and night, she cried because of him, and laughed because of him...

All this, just because she called him a second uncle?

The horse's hooves were gained, and he moved forward slowly.

Ding Can felt that his heart, following the sound of the horse's hooves, beat heavily.

He folded his hands holding the reins, and his arms naturally tightened a little.

pasted Lu Jiayue's clothes.

She didn't notice it.

He pulled his arms together a little more...

Spring clothes are thin.

It seems that you can already feel the temperature on each other's skin.

The little girl still didn't move.

OK... That's enough.

Ding Can was satisfied.

"Second uncle, when do you think we can come again? I don't like Yanjing, I like it here..."

The little girl suddenly spoke, and there was a loss and melancholy in her tone that could not be hidden.

Ding Can wanted to tell the little girl in his arms that as long as she liked it, he could always accompany her and go wherever she wanted.

But she had to comfort her in a gentle voice: "If I have a chance next time, I will accompany you again, okay?" ”

"Hmm..."

The little girl responded lazily, still not very happy.

Ding Can gently pressed his chin against her forehead and slowly rubbed it.

The little girl finally laughed, "It's so itchy..."

The hand was raised, and he wanted to touch his forehead, but he touched Ding Can's cheek.

As if startled, he hurriedly retracted his hand and looked up at him, he smiled gently, and her shy appearance was clearly reflected in his clear and moist eyes.

No more words along the way.

Because it's all redundant.

*

After another ten days, Ding Can's injuries have gradually healed.

The affairs of the Yunnan-Guizhou area have also been supervised, and the new candidate for the Great Tusi has also been decided.

It's time to get ready to return to Beijing.

Lu Jiayue was reluctant to give up her father Lu Mian.

Lu Mian tried his best to persuade her and sent her to the departing carriage.

Before leaving, Ding Can said goodbye to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian said earnestly: "Lord Ding, the little girl will be entrusted to you in the future, she is stubborn by nature, I hope you will be more tolerant and protect her at all times." ”

Ding Can solemnly agreed.

All the way north, Lu Jiayue's mood was completely different from when she went south to Yungui.

So along the way, every time I walked to a place of interest, I had to visit it.

Ding Can had nothing to do, and he was afraid of delaying the official business in the capital, so he asked Ah Li to go back to deal with it first, and he simply traveled with Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue still loves Jiangnan the most.

When passing through Jinling, I also deliberately went back to my yard to stay for two days.

That courtyard was bought by Lu Mian when he was in Jiangnan, and now it is a property of the Lu family, after Lu Mian was transferred to Yungui, the courtyard was naturally vacant, and only some servants lived, cleaning the courtyard and guarding the door.

Although Ding Can has also been to Jiangnan in the past, he is alone, how can he compare to the person he likes now by his side.

So the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River fell into my eyes, and I also felt that it was different from what I had seen before.

"Everyone only says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. If you are not old, you must return to your hometown, and you must break your intestines when you return to your hometown. ”

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is as beautiful as alcohol, the wine is not intoxicating, and people are already drunk.

After all these years of running around in a daze, Ding Can felt for the first time that he was now really starting to live.

*

When I returned to Kyoto, I didn't know it was August.

The Qu family is at peace, and everything is as before.

Duan Wenxin has already married the Sun family as a concubine, Qu Rong has also married Sun Xueru to enter the door, and Qu Ying and Liang Hao have also been married.

Hearing that Lu Jiayue was back, Qu Ying specially came from Liangfu to meet her.

In March, the title of Liang Hao's gold list, now placed in the Hanlin Academy for editing, is Qu Song's official position when he first entered the office.

Qu Ying has become a woman, and her hairstyle and clothing have also changed greatly, and she is more dignified than before.

The husband has successfully entered the office, Liang Shaokuan and his wife treat her as their own, and her sister-in-law Liang Wan treats her not to mention, her life is now living a harmonious and smooth life.

Lu Jiayue rejoiced for Qu Ying from the bottom of her heart.

Qu Ying helped her sort out the clay instruments she bought along the way and sent them to each room.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and when Mrs. Qu saw Lu Jiayue, she cried happily.

On the day she came back, Lu Jiayue accompanied Mrs. Qu in the upper room all day.

The next day, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng and two little guys came in to kowtow to her.

When there was no one inside, the two little servants told her that the people from the Jin Palace's mansion were looking for them again and handed over the news, saying that the King of Jin invited Lu Jiayue to see Lu Jiayue in his private house.
