Opening the letter, He Mai recognized at a glance that it was Xu Jiang's handwriting.

Seeing only a few lines on it, He Mai only felt as if his head was about to explode.

She was stunned, she couldn't believe that the letter written by Xu Jiang was addressed to Liulang.

The letter slid from her hand to the ground, and the candlelight reflected the tiny specks of dust floating on it.

Suddenly, a teardrop smashed on the letterhead, rendering a stain of ink.

The ink stained the two lines of the letter, and the handwriting was already a little blurry, but these two lines were in He Mai's head, and he remembered them very clearly.

On the letter, Xu Jiang wrote: "When the time comes, when the dynasty is restored, the saint will definitely make a decree to get married." The marriage contract between you and the eldest lady of the Xu family is difficult to violate, if there is no countermeasure, it is better to enjoy the blessings of all people. ”

Miss Xu Jia...... Is it Miss Xu Er's sister?

There were tears rolling in Hemai's eyes, and her whole body was as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she was so sad.

Rokuro, who she trusts the most and relies on the most, turns out to have a marriage contract for a long time...... So, then what is she?

She knew that a man as good as Rokuro couldn't be just an ordinary hunter, and he would have to leave here sooner or later......

What she had feared earlier, always had to happen.

Her tears fell as if they were broken, and tears poured out desperately.

……

……

The next morning, after replacing the mountain grass, Rokuro went home to pick up the wheat, but saw that the house was empty.

The donkey and cart in the backyard were gone, and it was thought that He Mai should have driven the donkey cart away.

Why didn't this little girl wait for him? Rokuro thought it was a little strange, but didn't think much of it.

Seeing that there was still a warm breakfast on the table, his worries were somewhat dissipated.

After breakfast, he changed his clothes and drove the ox cart to Qinglu Village.

On the way to Qinglu Village, he noticed that someone seemed to be watching him behind him.

He jumped out of his driver's seat and looked back as if he were looking at the ruts.

The other party was very vigilant, and he didn't even show his feet.

Rokuro retracted his gaze and sat back in the driver's seat, and was about to continue his journey when he felt a man rush behind him.

He dodged quickly and fought the man.

After two moves, the man showed his straight face and looked at Rokuro with the corners of his lips hooked.

"Xu Jiang!?" Rokuro looked at the person in front of him and was slightly stunned.

"Hmm." Xu Jiang smiled lazily, "Why are you so surprised to see me?" Didn't I say in the letter that I would arrive with the letter in the next few days? ”

"Letter? I haven't seen the letter yet. Rokuro said with a frown.

Xu Jiang opened his eyes, "You didn't see it?" How did the Messenger come slower than I did? That's it, I have something to look for you, let's go, Pingyao is still waiting for me in the town. ”

"She came back with you?"

"Of course," Xu Jiang grinned, and actually smiled, "The three of us came back together." ”

Rokuro was surprised, "You, you ...... it"

"I'm a dad!" Xu Jiang couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and lightly punched Liulang in the chest.

"Congratulations......" Rokuro smiled in surprise.

Xu Jiang looked at him meaningfully, "It seems that you haven't succeeded yet?" How can I say you're good? Why can't you be women? ”

Rokuro glared at him unhappily, "This is a private matter of our husband and wife, you don't want to get involved." If there's anything serious, hurry up! ”

"It's not all about Lijiazhuang......" Xu Jiang muttered as he jumped on the donkey cart and talked to Liulang.

The figures of the two paused for a moment when passing by Qinglu Village, but then they drove away in the direction of Qinghe Town.

……

……

Xia Hua saw that He Mai was absent-minded for a while, and now she closed the stall, so she had time to go over and care, and asked, "Sister Hemai, have you been tired these days?" I don't see your face is very good, do you want to drink some water? ”

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well yesterday." He Maiqiang cheered up and smiled at Xia Hua.

Li Changan also ran over, touched her forehead with his hand intimately, and tried his own again, "It's not hot, it's not a fever!" Brother Liulang will pick you up later? Let him go back and get you some egg soup to drink, to relieve your fatigue. ”

"It's all here, why hasn't Brother Liulang come back yet?" Li Changan muttered, jumping up and down to look at the entrance of the village.

"He probably won't come," He Mai rubbed his cheeks and said to Li Changan a little tiredly, "Can you help me send Xia Hua and Chun Hua back?" I'm in town...... Something, I want to ......."

As she spoke, she looked up, but saw Zhang Kuo standing in front of the porridge shop with a calm face.

Zhang Kuo was dressed in a cyan official uniform, wearing a long sword at his waist, his face was not happy or angry, and he only stared at He Mai quietly.

Li Changan understood, answered, and went to get the donkey cart.

Zhang Kuo didn't speak, nodded at her, and went to the street division.

He Mai followed, and the whole person looked lost.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Kuo thought about what he knew, "Did you see the letter?" ”

He Mai pursed his lips and did not speak.

"What is written in the letter?" Zhang Kuo asked.

He Mai still refused to speak.

"Yang Liulang...... Who is he? What do you know? Zhang Kuo frowned.

The only answer to him was silence.

Zhang Kuo slowly approached He Mai and stared carefully at her dull eyes, "Have you cried?" ”

He Mai moved his mouth, his eyes avoiding wide scrutiny.

Zhang Kuo's brows tightened, "Did he bully you?" You know something, so ...... He's revealed, isn't he? ”

"No, it's not ......" He Mai shook his head lightly, opening his mouth to say something, but it was difficult to get the words out of his mouth.

After a while, she still gave up the idea of talking to Zhang Kuo, lowered her eyes and whispered: "I'm very tired, I'd better go back first......"

"Lin Hemai!" Zhang Kuo called out to her.

"You don't believe me, it's nothing. But if you can't find anyone to talk about the grievances in your heart, you will be suffocated. If you're really uncomfortable, you might as well try to trust me," Zhang Kuo's eyes were complicated, "I won't let you down like others." ”

He Mai's throat choked, and his eyes were a little sour.

She shook her head with her back to him, and said in a calm voice: "I know, you are a good person, Zhang Kuo, thank you." I...... I'll go back first, see you tomorrow. ”

She ran out of the wide yard, arrived at the entrance of the village, waited for an ox cart to go to Xiaoqing Village, paid the money and returned to the village.

I thought there would be no one at home at this time, but I didn't expect that Rokuro would be at home.

Caught off guard when he saw Liulang, Hemai's heart beat a little hard, but more subconsciously he didn't want to see him.

Liulang was in another room, and when he saw He Mai coming back, he happily called out to her, "He Mai, are you back?" ”

He came out of the room, naturally took the reins from He Mai's hand, and said gently, "Why don't you wait for me in the morning?" How boring is it for you to go alone? ”
