Chapter Eighty-Four: Only This Once

The wedding date is scheduled for the auspicious time three days later, Xia Huaijin naturally can't go empty when he comes, and he is ordered by the emperor to exchange county affairs with the king of Xizhou County, and he is afraid that he will not be idle for three days.

Princess Ying was a deep boudoir before getting married, how could An Ronghua be idle in the palace, so she found Han Min according to the plan.

"Brother Han, are you free?"

The two sat down in the Fallen Leaf Pavilion for a while, and tea and snacks were also served.

"It's obviously a younger brother who got married, but you, the elder brother, are busy and busy, busy before and after. ”

"To be a brother is to be a duty. ”

The word responsibility is so heavy, as Han Yue said, Han Min will hold the responsibility of the son of the world all his life, and he will not be free from being bound by it. In this comparison, it is not as good as Han Yue's second son, who is free and lives freely.

Isn't An Ronghua like this, the identity of the eldest daughter of Anhou Mansion is also a heavy burden, coupled with a lot of responsibilities, and finally went to the height of the Queen Mother.

But fortunately, now, An Ronghua has unloaded all the burdens and is relaxed. It is impossible for her to change Han Min's life, but she hopes to get acquainted and take him to be presumptuous.

"Brother Han, you can go out with me today, forget your identity as the prince of Xizhou County, it's just Han Min, accompany me, a friend who came from afar, to visit the county town. An Ronghua smiled and invited.

"Good. Han Min couldn't ask for it.

Han Min put down everything and took An Ronghua out of the palace, but he seemed to remember something important.

"Do you have a silk handkerchief on you?"

"Brought it, what's wrong?"

An Ronghua took out a silk handkerchief as she spoke, Han Min took it and covered her face, leaving a pair of eyes with a look of surprise.

"Why do you bring this?"

"It's a custom in Xizhou County, and I'll explain it to you after today. ”

"Oh. An Ronghua inexplicably followed the local customs.

When I walked down the street, I saw many women wearing veils.

"Can't the girl from Xizhou County see people?" An Ronghua was really curious.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to the most famous street food in Xizhou County. ”

In the autumn harvest season, all kinds of newly harvested grains are ground and steamed, and the ingenious boss will make various styles, flying in the sky, running on land, swimming in the sea, lifelike, vivid.

An Ronghua took a fragrant hot small noodle cake from Han Min's hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, but the veil blocked the food from entering his mouth.

"Ahh

Han Min couldn't help but smile at An Ronghua's funny, lifted her veil and said, "Obviously a very shrewd person, why are you stupid sometimes." ”

An Ronghua seemed to feel that Han Min was different, completely different from when he was in the imperial capital, it turned out that he also had a non-serious side.

"It's very tiring to be shrewd, doesn't Brother Han feel that he is a lot more relaxed and in a more relaxed mood?" An Ronghua asked rhetorically.

"You're right, so today, I'm not a son of the world, just your one-day friend. Han Min decided.

The most prosperous shop street in the county, An Ronghua changed into clothes with Xizhou characteristics.

The highest windward tower in the county, An Ronghua accompanied Han Min to send the shouts away with the wind.

Outside the county seat, beside the Xixi Creek, many men and women pick up the most perfect maple red leaves, legend has it that if you can carve the names of a man and a woman on the red leaves, you can be blessed by heaven for life.

An Ronghua didn't believe in this, but after renewing the relationship with Xia Huaijin, she regained the trust of fate.

"Gu girl, Xia Huaijin. ”

An Ronghua carved the names of the two on the flat stone on the side, and wanted to take this gorgeous and full red leaf back to Xia Huaijin to see it as a memorial of Xizhou County.

"Brother Han also wrote?" An Ronghua was curious, "I have always forgotten to inquire about Brother Han, you have never intended to choose a colt before, but because you already have a favorite woman?"

"I didn't choose a colt because it wasn't what I wanted, and as for the woman I liked, I did. Han Min does not deny it.

"Have you brought her here, and your two red maple leaves are written in each other's names?"

"I brought her here, and my red maple leaf says about her, but I haven't seen her red maple leaf. ”

Han Min knew it, he walked to the stream, opened the maple leaf in his hand and let it drift down the river, and the names "Gu Girl" and "Han Min" were written on it.

The final journey, the sparkling waves of the lake, are exceptionally gentle under the soft autumn sun.

"The Seven Star Stone comes from the bottom of this lake, which is like a huge Seven Star Stone Stone. ”

An Ronghua suddenly saw a young man jumping out of the lake, holding a seven-star colored stone in his hand, courting the girl waiting by the lake.

"What kind of custom is this?"

"When a man in Xizhou County reaches the age of eighteen, he will sneak into the lake to pick a seven-star colored stone, symbolizing the only vow in his life, just to give it to his beloved woman as a token of love. ”

"It's so romantic, it turns out that the Seven Star Color Stone still has such a meaning, no wonder you give it away and take it back. An Ronghua had questions, "But Brother Han didn't intend to marry the princess, so why did he give her the seven-star colored stone that symbolizes the love oath?"

"Because I was mistaken. Han Min's words were sour.

"What do you mean, Brother Han?" asked An Ronghua.

Time is silent, the wind passes through the lake, and there are layers of light waves.

"There was a woman who appeared next to me posing as a playboy, but I noticed that she was a woman, and I mistakenly thought that she was a woman who everyone was looking for. But the world makes people, because I imagined everything too beautiful, so that I fell into the imaginary beauty, and I actually thought that it was the fate of the two loves. ”

Han Min's words, An Ronghua heard it clearly, she was the woman who pretended to be a playboy to make Han Min pretend to be beautiful.

Han Min took off An Ronghua's veil and faced her whole person.

"The person who has to marry the prince of Xizhou County is a princess, but today Han Min is not the prince of Xizhou County, he has loved someone, her name is Gu Nu, not a princess, just an ordinary palace person. ”

"Brother Han, you ......" An Ronghua thought that he had lived for decades and read countless people, but before this moment, he had never seen his feelings for him in Han Min's eyes.

"I know that you already have a sweetheart, and the two of them are envious of others, but it just happens that today is the confession day of Xizhou County, and I happen to be not the prince of Xizhou County, so I still want to get rid of my worries and say these words. At least in this life, I have done a willful and reckless thing, and I have loved someone who was not in the plan. ”

Han Min's only one time was expressed for An Ronghua.

The boy by the lake confessed successfully, and he put a veil on the girl, which meant that she was a good person and would no longer accept confessions from others.

An Ronghua spent a day of joy, but the result was unexpected. He was waiting for Xia Huaijin in the room, not knowing whether he should share this matter with him.

"To say or not to say? Will he think I'm showing off? If I don't say it, it's as if something is hidden from him and I don't confess. ”

"What are you hiding from this king?" Xia Huaijin heard An Ronghua's self-talk outside the door, and the contradictions were entangled.

"Are you done, can the border of Xizhou County be stable recently?" An Ronghua asked.

"National affairs are a man's business, but what are you hiding from this king?" Xia Huaijin asked again.

"Actually, it's nothing. An Ronghua's heart was so weak that his eyes blinked.

"Since you don't want to say, what are you going to eat for dinner?" Xia Huaijin naturally changed the topic.

"You really don't want to know?" An Ronghua said more truthfully.

"But you don't want to say it, do you want to force it to say it?"

"What if something is a big event that threatens your feelings?" An Ronghua reminded with a serious face.

"This king remembers that someone said that this king is her only love in this life, and other men, let him be high and powerful, rich and rival the country, handsome and peerless, for her are like floating clouds, she only comes for this king in this life, only to stay with this king, and there is no second heart. This oath, Gu Maiden, do you know whether that girl deceived the king or made a sincere promise?"

"Of course it's a sincere promise!" An Ronghua did not hesitate.

"That is, what is the threat. Xia Huaijin said confidently.

An Ronghua saw Xia Huaijin who once made him fall in love at first sight, he was as pure and cold as snow, and as gentle as the winter sun, he had never been a cold snow iceberg.

An Ronghua couldn't help but hug Xia Huaijin, bringing the past 20 years closer to the point of disappearing.

"Huai Jin, thank you for waiting for me, and now, I'm here. ”

An Ronghua also assisted in the wedding of Han Yue and Princess Yingxue, and got acquainted with Han Yingxue, the third lady of Han San.

"How old is Miss Han?" An Ronghua chatted with him.

"Eighteen. ”

"It stands to reason that Miss Han's age should participate in this year's post-election ceremony, but why don't you be among the beauties?"

"At the beginning of the year, I suddenly fell seriously ill and was not allowed to participate. ”

"Oh, I see, then Miss Han has a good match?"

"Never married. ”

Han Yingxue was the woman in the boudoir who replied shyly, but An Ronghua inquired in detail.

"Miss, the clothes you will wear tomorrow have been changed and delivered, can you try it?" the maid suddenly came to report.

An Ronghua accompanied Han Yingxue back to the room to try on clothes, she is used to wearing plain and simple clothes, but her brother has to be more festive when she gets married.

An Ronghua is very fond of Han Yingxue, but after knowing each other for two days, I only feel that she has not lost everyone's demeanor, but also is not pampered.

"Miss, how do you think you should match the clothes, how about the glazed jade pendant?

The maid selected and matched for Han Yingxue, and finally took out a finely carved high-grade warm mutton fat white jade placed in the box.

"Miss doesn't wear this jade pendant on weekdays, but it's appropriate for the maid to wear this dress. The maid held the jade pendant in both hands, but An Ronghua was not allowed to watch quietly.

"This jade pendant is ......"

How could An Ronghua not recognize Xia Bingwen's things, and she remembered the "Xiaoxue" in his mouth.

"Miss Han, I see that your jade pendant is not an ordinary thing, it should be an extremely rare and noble pure mutton fat white jade. ”

"I don't know about jade, I just remember that it was given by a young man when he was still in the imperial capital. ”

"How would a strange boy give you such a valuable thing?" An Ronghua continued.

"At that time, I saw that he wanted to eat the sugar gourd on the side of the road but had no money, so I bought a bunch and gave it to him. Now that I think about it, a string of sugar gourds is only a few pennies, and it is really inappropriate for me to accept such a precious jade pendant from others. But now, I can't find him. ”

An Ronghua personally put on a jade pendant for Han Yingxue, and the jade pendant given by her son reappeared in front of her eyes today, and An Ronghua believed in her eyes that this must be the will of heaven.

"Wear it for the rest of you, you deserve it. ”
