This name has been imprinted in Dongxue's heart for many years, and every time I think of it in the dead of night, I will feel a little dull pain. But Dongxue never admitted that this person had any influence on him, and the only thing that could be said was that he sold himself to his master. That's right, it's selling.

At that time, the winter snow, alone escaped from Lin County, where the life was unfamiliar, hungry and tired for many days, and finally fainted under an old locust tree, the small body was lying on the cold ground, and I didn't know who was going to be. Later, it was Xu Shaoqing who saved her, and Xu Shaoqing was only a fifteen-year-old child back then, but he was extremely smart and knew what choice was best for him. Although he was always smiling, Dongxue knew that he was far more indifferent and cruel than herself.

Just as Dongxue was stuck in his memories, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve. After taking advantage of the situation, I saw a little boy with a bare ass looking at Dongxue with a runny nose and asked, "Are you Sister Dongxue?" ”

"That's right, you know me?"

The boy nodded, and said in a childish voice, "We all know about you, and you are our pride." ”

Dongxue couldn't help but smile and asked, "Proud? ”

"Yes, yes, you are a celebrity next to Niangniang, and you can still walk with a sword in the palace, how majestic." The other boy stood beside Dong Xue, looked at the long sword in Dong Xue's hand with starry eyes, and said, "Just now you flew here with a 'whoosh', it's really amazing, is this light skill?" ”

As soon as they heard this topic, the children were all energetic, and they gathered around, and you kept asking questions one by one, which made Dongxue's head bigger and bigger.

Just when the winter snow was full of black lines, she heard a warm voice coming from in front of her, knocking on her heart, making her inexplicably moved.

"Heh, you're still so bad at words."

When he raised his eyes, he saw a man in a cyan robe standing in front of him, his expression was as warm as jade, his body was strong and tall, and he had the air of a book. But his eyes were as bright as stars, revealing too much shrewdness and sophistication, which made him tainted with a little earthly atmosphere.

The corners of her mouth curved, and Dong Xue said: "You haven't changed at all, you still like to watch the excitement so much!" ”

waved to the children, and the children hula around Xu Shaoqing, and then didn't know what he said, the children left with a smile, and ran to the stream, laughing and laughing.

Exhaling softly, Dongxue seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. It's just that this moment of relaxation was also caught by Xu Shaoqing, with a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were like a sharp sword straight into her heart, so that Dongxue's heart could not be hidden.

Pursing her lips, Dongxue took a deep breath, and then walked to him, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "I said that one day I can have dignity, I will come back here, and use my current life to prove that your choice that day was wrong!" ”

His eyes drooped slightly, Xu Shaoqing didn't know if it was okay, but said, "It's not easy for you to come back, let's go home and eat something first." ”

Go home......

That place, Dongxue once thought it would be her eternal home, but she had only lived there for less than three months, but she still remembered the tables and chairs there, and they had not faded because of the passage of time.

Walking towards the place where she had dreamed countless times, Dongxue despised herself, but could not find any reason to convince her to stop.

Standing in front of the simple but warm hut, Dongxue looked up at the place and muttered, "It hasn't changed at all." ”

"It's been so many years, can you still remember it clearly?" Xu Shaoqing smiled slightly, led Dongxue into the house, and then turned around to pour tea for her.

Smelling the smell of sunshine in the room, Dongxue's heart began to gradually become hazy, sneered, and said, "Why is your life still so embarrassing after so long?" Didn't you sell me for a good price back then, I should have had a good life. Did you waste all your money in a lavish way? ”

After listening to the action of pouring tea, the corners of Xu Shaoqing's mouth slowly hooked up a smile, and then said slowly: "Life is always full of changes, and that money may not guarantee smooth sailing in the future." ”

Hearing that there seemed to be pathos in these words, Dongxue hurriedly asked, "Then do you regret it?" ”

Putting the tea in front of Dongxue, Xu Shaoqing said with a smile: "You should know mine, I do things, and I will never regret it." ”

"That was before," Dong Xue's mood changed slightly, staring straight at Xu Shaoqing, and asked, "Now that I am the personal maid of the queen mother, and my life is rich and full of glory, won't you regret it?" ”

"Of course not," Xu Shaoqing smiled gently, "If you hadn't left here with your master back then, you would have been just an ordinary little woman in this town, and you would have the glory you have today?" So Dongxue, you should be grateful to me. ”

"But you lost!" Dong Xue's voice was high, her apricot eyes widened, and she said, "You saved my life back then, I am very grateful to you, and regard you as my family, no matter how hard life is, I want to live in Linxian for the rest of my life." But you changed the course of my life, and I heard everything you said to my master that day! At that time, the master had not resigned from his official position, although you were young, but you were already a lifter, and the master appreciated your talent and wanted to promote you. Even though I was young at the time, I could still see your cheers. However, the master later changed his mind, because something happened in the court that made the master decide to resign and go into hiding, and the things promised to you that day could only be stopped. But the master took a fancy to my qualifications and wanted to take me as an apprentice and return to the mountains and forests. The master is quite strict, so I respect and fear him, and I naturally don't want to be separated from you. But you didn't even think about pushing me to the master's side, just to get a letter of recommendation from the master, and recommend you to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites! I still remember the last words you said to the master. The master asked you, are you really willing to part with me, what did you say? Oh, you said that your desire since childhood was to be an official in the court, to glorify your ancestors, how can you let go easily in the face of great opportunities? And this is not murder and arson, moral corruption, it is beneficial to you and me. What you say sounds good, but in the end, it's just to trade me in for your high bargaining chips. It's really worthy of lifting people, even the rhetoric is so perfect, but these can't cover up your ambition and ruthlessness, and it also makes me see through the indifference of the world. Thanks to this experience, I survived the hard and even dangerous training in the future, and told myself that I would definitely come back here in the future, standing in front of you, the life-saver of the year, and the person who ruthlessly abandoned me, and personally told you that I would be better off without you! Didn't you send me away in exchange for a chance to shine on the lintel? Now that I'm back, I'll let you see for yourself how hopeful it falls through! ”

Dong Xue's words were indifferent and ruthless, but Xu Shaoqing looked at her like a child, and said: "You are so old, why are you still like a child, always saying angry things." You also saw my situation back then, I can't even support myself, why do you want to accompany me to endure hardships? It's better to give you, and also give yourself a chance, to get out of the existing predicament and start a new life. It is worth celebrating that you seized this opportunity to leap into the dragon gate and achieve who you are today, and I am very happy for you. ”

Dong Xue sneered in her heart and said, "I am not as smart as you, and I can have all this today, all of which I have worked hard for." What about you, why haven't you changed at all, or are you living in such an embarrassing situation? ”

Taking a sip of tea, Xu Shaoqing smiled indifferently: "Many things, only after experiencing them can you know how boring they are." Over the years, my life has changed a lot, and what I worked so hard to pursue back then is not worth mentioning now. Just like you, the stubborn little girl turned into a celebrity next to the queen, how many people envy her? ”

Xu Shaoqing said with emotion, which made Dong Xue look sideways and said, "You, Xu Shaoqing, will also say these appointments?" It's really surprising. But you're right, many things don't necessarily come true even if you put your heart and soul into it. As the words fell, Dongxue raised her head and carefully looked at the man opposite. Time doesn't seem to have left much trace on this man, and he still maintains the handsome appearance and clear eyes of the year. When these eyes are staring at the winter snow, it will still make her feel the sun appearing, like a spring breeze. That's how it feels, confusing young Dongxue and treating him as family. But now she won't make the same mistake again, although she doesn't want to admit it, she will still care about Xu Shaoqing's every move.

"Huh? There's a guest at home! ”

Just when the two of them were silent, suddenly a crisp voice broke the silence and made Dongxue turn around and look over.

It was a very bright woman, and people thought she was a cheerful and enthusiastic woman at first glance.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Xu Shaoqing's eyes suddenly softened, looked at the woman and said, "Come on, I'm going to introduce an old friend to you today." ”

Old friends?

Dong Xue stood up calmly and listened to Xu Shaoqing say, "This is what I have mentioned before, Dong Xue." ”

"This is Dongxue?" The woman patted the flying flotsam on her hair and said with a smile, "I have often heard Shaoqing mention you before, saying that you have shared hardships and have a deep affection. If you come here today, you must stay a few more days. ”

Looking at the woman with a cold expression, Dongxue asked, "Who is this?" ”

Holding the woman's shoulder with one hand, Xu Shaoqing smiled: "She is my mother, Liu Taoran." ”
