。

Hearing the voice behind him, Xiao Haoran turned his head and saw that it was Xie Yanwan, so he reluctantly smiled and said, "Later, you are here." ”

Xie Yanwan nodded slightly, leaned over and saluted, "I've seen my uncle in the evening." "Anyway, he is also his nominal relative, although the feelings of this relative are not as profound as those brought to her by the Xue family.

The feeling that the Xue family couple gave Xie Yanwan was that they loved each other to the core, but Xiao Haoran added a lot of complicated thoughts. For example, love, guilt, and regret are beyond reach. Those remorse account for most of them, and only a small part of them comes from the love of loved ones.

This is also the reason why Xie Yanwan is reluctant to have more contact with Xiao Haoran.

She really can't stand someone with such emotions to please herself.

"Get up." Xiao Haoran smiled a little overwhelmed with a smile on his face, and said, "Have you ever eaten?" ”

At this time, when it was almost time to apply, Xie Yan had already taken a nap in the evening, and naturally he had already eaten. It's just that she can't say anything about this complaint, and she still smiled deferentially on her face: "I've already eaten, how is my uncle doing lately?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Haoran had a bitter smile on his face and said, "It's okay, how is it late?" ”

"Well, it's smooth." Xie Yanwan had a smile on his face, seeing that his expression was a little sluggish, because he asked, "I don't know if my uncle called me here today, is there something important?" ”

Xiao Haoran retracted his gaze and said, "I called you back today to ask you to put incense on your grandmother." ”

Xie Yanwan looked at him in surprise, but he didn't object, because he said, "It should be." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Haoran didn't say much, so he took her to the ancestral hall.

There is no daylight in it all year round, and when you go in, you have a bit of a cold atmosphere. Xiao Haoran didn't realize it, just looking at the tablet in the room, his eyes were a little moist.

Feeling Xiao Haoran's sad breath, Xie Yanwan also looked solemn, took the incense and bowed sincerely, and respectfully inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The deceased is the greatest, and the people who are placed here are all the ancestors of the Xiao family. Thinking that the prince of Zhenguo back then was also a man who stood up to the sky, he must not have thought that after his death, the Xiao family would fall to this point.

The ancestral hall was extremely silent, Xie Yanwan looked at the plaques and sighed a little, but suddenly heard Xiao Haoran's voice sound: "Later, she is dead." ”

Xie Yanwan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized who he was talking about, because he said softly: "Uncle, mourn." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Haoran smiled wistfully, and said with self-deprecation: "Why do I want to mourn, I have waited for so many years on this day." ”

At that moment, his eyes were full of hatred. Xiao Haoran seemed to be bored for a long time, and finally found someone to talk to. He knelt down beside Xie Yanwan and sighed, "Wan'er, are you willing to listen to your uncle?" ”

For no reason, Xie Yanwan actually felt the sad mood and deep loneliness on his body.

She couldn't refuse, nodded and said, "Uncle, please speak." ”

"I'm not the son of the Xiao family."

Xiao Haoran looked at the two big characters Xiao Qing on the plaque, and fell into memory: "The Xiao family back then was not the Zhenguo Mansion, but the General's Mansion. After my father was killed in battle, General Xiao took me home, and although I was an adopted son, I taught me carefully, as if I were my own child. Three years later, the Xiao family had their real flesh and blood. ”

……

On the day Xiao Lanzhao was born, Xiao Qing was still at war with the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and the only man in the house was Xiao Haoran.

Hearing the sound of Mrs. Xiao's painful screams, Xiao Haoran broke into the delivery room regardless of everyone's resistance, held Mrs. Xiao's hand, and said firmly: "Mother, I am here, I will accompany you for my father!" ”

The little boy had obvious ruddy circles under his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Mrs. Xiao was infected by his emotions, looked at Xiao Haoran lovingly, and then screamed sadly.

Immediately, the loud cry of the baby girl was heard.

That was the first time Xiao Haoran saw Xiao Lanzhao.

The newborns are all wrinkled, like a little old man, not at all like Mrs. Xiao, not beautiful.

However, she had exceptionally bright eyes, like black gems that were clear and translucent, as if they had shone into Xiao Haoran's heart.

From falling to the ground to gradually growing, Xiao Lanzhao has accompanied him at every stage.

Until, the appearance of Shangguan Ying broke this beautiful picture. She appeared strongly in her life, but Xiao Haoran didn't like her, and she was cold-faced every time.

However, everyone around him, except for his father, wanted him to marry Shangguan Ying, including Xiao Lanzhao.

"I was forced to marry her, and I was ready to live well with her. But she shouldn't ......" Xiao Haoran's eyes erupted with strong hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "She shouldn't have murdered Zhao'er's family!" ”

"I endured it for years, and finally waited for a chance for revenge. Now her daughter has been crushed and ashes, her granddaughter has been killed, and she is finally dead. However, I am the only one left in this world......

Xiao Haoran's eyes were extremely sad, with dazedness and madness: "I am left alone, no relatives and no reason, no worries, no love, and no one to hate." The past is gone, but I'm still alive. ”

In the end, Xiao Haoran's voice was inaudible, and Xie Yanwan's eyes were a little more sympathetic.

In this entanglement, except for Xiao Lanzhao, everyone is a murderer, but they are all victims.

However, as Xiao Haoran said, the clouds and smoke have dissipated, the past has turned to ashes, and those who survive are not victors, but continue to suffer every day.

What's the joy of life?

Xie Yanwan sighed and said in a low voice, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Haoran came back to his senses for a long time, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "There's nothing bad about it." ”

As he spoke, he got up from the ground, but because of the long kneeling, his knees were a little sore, so that Xiao Haoran almost fell down.

Xie Yanwan quickly helped Xiao Haoran and said, "Uncle, I'll help you out." ”

Xiao Haoran nodded noncommittally, let Xie Yanwan support him, and walked outside.

When the sun outside hit his body, all the chills seemed to be dispelled away, and only the tears on his face proved the reality of the past.

Xie Yan helped him into the room at night, but unexpectedly saw the portrait.

The woman in the painting, dressed in white, is sitting under the flowers, and the stability and tranquility in her eyebrows and eyes make people involuntarily think of four words: floating and stable.

And after Xiao Haoran saw her gaze, he looked at the person in the painting as if he was puzzled, and said slowly: "This is your grandmother." ”

In fact, he didn't say it, Xie Yanwan also guessed a little, after all, I am afraid that the only person who can be hung in the room by Xiao Haoran in such a grand manner is that person.

Even if Xie Yanwan has seen so many beauties, he has to admit that Xiao Lanzhao is really beautiful, so beautiful that she is like a rich flower in the world, which should be held in her hands and cherished and preserved.

Thinking of this, she remembered the story from Xiao Haoran's mouth again.

Xiao Lanzhao back then, after meeting the stunned scholar, married him without hesitation despite everyone's prevention.

Come to think of it, Xiao Lanzhao was also happy at that time. Win the hearts of the people and move forward.

Even if it was so tragic again, at least she was a rich flower that bloomed for it.

Xie Yanwan sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Haoran resented Xiao Nian, but in fact, he himself was not the root? Women are born out of love and hate because of love, but if there is no Xiao Haoran to marry and not be responsible, it is the original sin.

It's just that in such a wrongful debt, who is right and who is wrong, how can others say it clearly?

She sighed like this, and she was a little emotional, but she didn't want Xiao Haoran to suddenly open her mouth and ask her a question that she was not prepared for.

"Late, are you going to spend it like this with Feng Qizhi?"

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why does my uncle think that I am spending time with him?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Haoran had a little depth on his face, and said, "He doesn't even want to give you a title, how can he not consume it?" In your later years, you can have a few years of youth, and when you are old and decrepit, but you have nothing to rely on, what should you do? ”

He is a man and knows men best. If a man is not even willing to give a girl, it only means that she is not important enough.

But Xiao Haoran didn't know that Feng Qizhi was more willing to give her an explanation than anyone else.

Xie Yanwan hadn't thought about this matter, but when she thought of that man, she couldn't help but smile, with the unique appearance of an infatuated girl, and said with a smile: "But I'm willing, as long as he's by his side, it's enough." ”

Xiao Haoran didn't know Feng Qizhi, she could understand it, after all, it was an outsider. It's enough for her to understand, after all, she is the woman who accompanies Fengqi to survive.

As long as she believes in him enough, and the two of them are heart-to-heart, it is enough.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Haoran sighed more and more, and comforted: "Later, listen to your uncle's advice, you are still young, you should find a better one." Speaking of this, his gaze was a little distant, looking at the beautiful picture on the wall, and said slowly: "You are a descendant of the Xiao family, you should be nobler than all the women in the world, how can you practice yourself like this for a man?" If you have a heart, the Xiao family can do their best to help you. ”

Whether Xie Yanwan wants to marry another person or what, the Xiao family will go all out, and they will do their best to give Xie Yanwan the best.

Not for anything else, just because she is Zhao'er's blood and bones.

But he didn't want to, Xie Yanwan heard his words, just shook his head, and refused with a light smile: "No need." ”

Although there was a smile in her eyes, her expression was extraordinarily firm, and she paused: "No matter how good others are, I don't need them." There are thousands of people in this world, and I only need to stop one. And I rejoice in what Ah Zhi has done to me. ”

Seeing Xie Yanwan's expression, Xiao Haoran was stunned for a moment. At that moment, he seemed to see the original Xiao Lanzhao.
