Looking at the plum blossom handkerchief in my hand, I thought that the musician had asked me, "Xiao Rong'er, what kind of person will you like when you grow up?" ”

I didn't know at the time that what she meant by liking and what I understood to be liking were not the same thing.

I replied to her, "Xiao Rong'er likes people like Shaoling musicians." ”

She smiled when she heard this, touched my head and said, "The musician also likes Xiao Rong'er." ”

Now I can understand that Shaoling's liking is actually asking me what kind of man I will like when I grow up.

I think that at that time, Shaoling must have had a sweetheart who would ask me such a question.

At that time, she held my hand in the palm of her hand and said to me, "Little Rong'er must be happy when she grows up!" ”

I nodded to her, "Xiao Rong'er will definitely be happy, and the musician will also be happy." ”

She was happy to hear me, and happiness was on her face. However, happiness failed to befall her, and God made such a good person disappear.

My expression darkened, and I thought of Shaoling's fate, which was really a shameful life. Why did the dance art workshop catch fire back then?

After the fire in the Dance Art Workshop Division back then, I asked my eldest brother Gao Shouwen to take me to that long street, but at that time, the fire scene had been sealed by the government, and I couldn't go in to see it.

Later, I secretly ran out again at night, and saw some people secretly burning money outside the temple to worship the priest. I think it must have been relatives and friends who died in the fire.

It's pathetic.

Master Shaoling's relatives must also be in pain.

The government investigated for a period of time and finally closed the case as an accidental fire.

After sneaking out and returning home that night, I became seriously ill, because it rained that night, and I returned home in the rain, and my body was already weak, so the illness came quickly.

It was only after two or three years that I slowly forgot about Shaoling.

But at this time, I suddenly remembered that night outside the ruins of the Dance Art Workshop, I saw the back of a man, he stood in silence and deep in the dark alley, staring at the ruins for a long time, very special.

In the dark night, I saw him wearing a piece of jade around his waist, and the pattern on the jade jue looked like a wild beast. For I stood behind him and looked at him very carefully.

The man's back was a little desolate, indifferent, as if in deep thought, and I stood behind him for a few moments, but he didn't even look back at me.

When I saw that it was raining, I walked back, but when I had walked a few dozen steps, I looked back at the man, who was still like a fool in the rain.

At that time, I thought that the man's relatives must have died in the dance workshop, otherwise he would not have stood there and watched for so long.

When I came back to my senses, I felt sorry for Shaoling's life. Such a good woman left forever, and I think the man she liked must have died of pain.

Although spring has arrived, the weather is still relatively cold.

On the day of the third aunt's memorial day, the weather was a little clear, and I heard early in the morning that my father had gone to the third aunt's cemetery to pay respects.

My father would go to worship early every year on the day of the third aunt's sacrifice, and he only took Steward Cao with him every time, and the others were never allowed to go.

I don't know why, father? Maybe he didn't allow others to worship the third aunt.

I asked Zilan to stay in Qiushuiju, and I took Yinglin and You Ran to quietly follow behind my father.

I had never been to the cemetery of the third aunt to pay respects to her before, but this time I learned that my mother was the murderer of the third aunt, and I felt too much guilt in my heart, and I wanted to go and say sorry to her.

The three of us hid far away in the woods, and only after my father had gone to pay my respects did I walk to the grave of my third aunt.

My father brought a lot of offerings to the grave of the third aunt.

I looked at the name of the third aunt, and the three words of Da Xilan were particularly profound on the stone tablet. I remembered that my father had touched it for a long time just now, and mourned deeply in front of the tombstone.

It's heart-wrenching for my father to look like.

His love for the third aunt is more than any family in the house, and if the eldest lady sees such a father, she will be sad for a while.

I never thought that such a stern father would be so gentle in front of the third aunt.

I put a pillar of incense on Da Xilan's grave, and said to her in my heart, I hope that the third aunt will forgive my mother's behavior back then.

I know it's too late to say it all now, but I can't calm down when I don't say it.

Maybe Da Xilan really robbed her father's love, maybe she really made her mother's life not good, but no matter what, her mother can't kill people because she is fighting for her father's favor.

I don't ask the third aunt to forgive my mother, I just want my respect, my shame, and let my mother be forgiven by God.

I came to the third aunt's cemetery without telling anyone in the family, and the eldest brother suddenly appeared, which surprised me a little.

He came alone with an offering, and he was just as surprised to see me.

He calmly asked me, why did I come to worship the third aunt this year?

I didn't want to tell him the secret of my heart.

I don't want my mother to tell the secret that she is the murderer of the third aunt, but I'm still afraid, I'm afraid that my father will find out and won't be able to spare my mother.

After paying homage to the third aunt, my eldest brother and I walked around the hillside.

Spring is the season when the plants and trees sprout, and the trees all over the mountain are spitting new shoots, tender and green.

We chatted all the way, all the way down the mountain, and after turning the col, we came to a maple forest, and I suddenly saw a grave on the side of the road.

Ben just glanced at it casually, but he didn't think about the name on the tombstone, which surprised me.

Li Tong.

In my memory, I have heard the name Li Tong, and it was Shaoling who talked to me.

Back then, when Shaoling and I were chatting, she mentioned Li Tong, the head of her teaching department. said that she didn't like that person, and was very mean to her.

I was stunned, could it be that this tomb is the tomb of Li Tong, the head of the Dance Art Workshop?

When I heard that there was a fire in the Teaching Workshop Division, I also heard that Li Tong, the head of the department, also died on the spot.

At this time, Gao Shouwen had already answered my doubts indifferently.

"This Li Tong was the head of the Dance Art Teaching Workshop back then."

The year of the fire in the Dance Art Workshop Division was also the year when the third aunt died, but one was in the spring and the other was at the end of the summer.

After the death of the third aunt, the Shaoling musician came to the house, and after teaching me the piano in the house for a few months, she also died, dying in the fire.

I don't know how many people died that year.

From Ju Yang's mouth, I learned that Yi Hua also went to assassinate the Empress Dowager in the early summer of that year and was shot by random arrows.

He hasn't been heard from since. If the assassination of Yi Ju finally died, that is, in the early summer of that year, if this is the case, then in the spring of that year, Yi Ju went to Gaofu to assassinate Da Xilan, and in the early summer he assassinated the Queen Mother.

Thinking of all this at this time, I completely understood that that year, the third aunt died, Yi Juan died, and Xu Shaoling also died.

I sneered in my heart, it was an ominous year.

While I was meditating, Gao Shouwen continued beside me, "Li Tong of this sect is the niece of Master Li Chong Li of the Zhongshu Order, and because of this relationship, Li Tong has become the head of the Dance Art Workshop Division. I heard that she is very strict with the dancing girls in the teaching department on weekdays, and she is not affectionate and difficult to get along with. In the case of the fire in the Dance Art Teaching Division, some people privately discussed whether it would be a dancing girl who looked at her unpleasantly and wanted to take revenge on her and burn her, which affected all the people in the Teaching Division. ”

"If that's the case, Shaoling's death is really a loss, and she has become their funeral." I said sadly.

Gao Shouwen looked at me and comforted, "Rong'er, the musician has been dead for so many years, you have had a serious illness because of her, and your body was already in a catastrophe because of falling into the lotus pond, and you had a serious illness, your body is already too weak, and you finally recovered, and you have forgotten those pains, and now you don't have to think about it anymore." ”

I took a light breath and smiled lightly at Gao Shouwen, "Rong'er understands, big brother, it's over, I won't be so sad anymore." ”

Leaving in front of Li Tong's grave, our group went down the mountain, and as soon as we arrived at the bottom of the mountain, we saw a car parked on the road, and there were many black-clothed guards standing next to the car.

Takubahiro got out of the chariot and looked at me with a smile.

How could he be here? I was puzzled.

Gao Shouwen walked forward quickly and made a courtesy to Tuoba Hong.

Ying Lin and You Ran behind me also knelt down and saluted at the same time when Tuoba Hong approached me. I stood stunned.

He called me with a smile, "Rong'er", and I reacted and curtsied.

"Why is the emperor here?" I asked, confused.

"Hehe", he laughed dryly, "I said that I was waiting for you here, does Rong'er believe it?" ”

"How did the emperor know?" I asked, looking him in the eye.

He took a step closer to me, leaned in front of me, and whispered, "I just know." ”

I sneered in my heart, too, he is the emperor, and there may be many eyeliners to check my whereabouts.

He took off the cloak on his body and draped it over me, and said softly, "Although it's already spring, it's still a little cold, and Rong'er won't wear much when she comes out, which will make me worry." ”

I didn't refuse his kindness, but I felt a little unhappy in my heart, and said coldly, "The emperor sent someone to monitor the courtiers, didn't he?" ”

His hands did not drop after putting on the cloak, but still on my body, seeing my indifference, his eyes were a little low, and his voice was fluttering, "I just want to see you, I don't see you for a few days, I miss you very much." ”

"The emperor is getting married, he should be busier in the palace, there is no need to come to see Rong'er, let's go back quickly." I said lightly.

Tuoba Hong's inquiring eyes swirled around my face, caressed my face, and said with a smile: "I just came, you just drove me away, aren't you afraid that I will be sad?" ”

I lowered my head and said, "No, Rong'er is afraid that someone will see you, in this suburban mountain, afraid that the emperor will not be safe." ”

Tuoba Hong leaned over and whispered in my ear, "It's okay if you want me to go, but ...... I haven't seen you in days, so you should always show something, huh? ”

I couldn't help but shudder slightly, and blurted out, "What does it mean?" ”

He smiled and said, "Let me give me a hug." ”

My eyes widened, and although I knew that he had always spoken amazingly, I was still a little frightened by such a naked request, and my mouth opened slightly, unable to speak.

Seeing that I was stunned, he picked me up, not hugging me, but picking me up horizontally and walking towards his chariot, and said leisurely after hugging me, "It's too cold outside, you've been out for so long, you'll freeze." ”

I blushed, I didn't think he would hold me in front of so many people.
