tempus fugit
"Don't mention him again, I forgot about him a long time ago, he is a stranger in this life, and it doesn't matter if he comes back or not" Duan Lianyi said indifferently.
Liu Rui'er knew her temperament, so she didn't say more, and turned the conversation to Qin Gongzi, "It's okay, you are married now, so naturally you have nothing to do with that person, why don't you see your husband today?"
She was particularly strange when she heard the word husband, and only explained, "You don't know, a few days ago, he went north with the old general, and he won't be able to come back for a while."
"I see," Liu Ruier thought.
The two chatted for a while, and the Qin family's wife, the Lin family, sent someone to invite Duan Lianyi over, but she had to order Leng Yi to send Rui'er out of the house first.
A maid led her to walk in the compound, and it was two months after arriving at the Qin family, Duan Lianyi was in her yard almost every day, and she didn't wander elsewhere, this was the first time she walked in the compound.
Bypassing the side rooms until the main hall, Lin sat on top and drank tea leisurely, and beckoned her cordially when he saw her come and motioned for her to sit down.
"Ripples, tomorrow a few ladies will come, you will prepare some good fruits, wine, and then take care of the flower hall."
"Yes" she replied, this Lin family has always known that they have befriended the wives and concubines of wealthy businessmen and officials in this city, and it is not the first time that the party affairs have been handed over to Duan Lianyi to take care of.
She was already familiar with the road, and after sitting for a while, she said goodbye and left, and when she left the main hall, she ordered her subordinates to go and start the work.
By the afternoon of the second day, everything was ready, several carriages were placed in the backyard, and a few richly dressed ladies entered through the back door without a word, and went straight to the flower hall.
Duan Lianyi didn't rush to this excitement, but looking at the battle of those ladies didn't look like they just came to the flower hall to chat.
Fortunately, although I don't know the purpose of this group of people today, fortunately, they also have their own eyeliner in the tea and water.
——
The days are unremarkable, the war situation in the north is uncertain, the song and dance in the south are peaceful, dazzling, from summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, half a year has passed......
On this day, the cold wind is dashing, the first snow has fallen in Yangzhou City, in the endless mountains in the distance, a team of people and horses faintly come out in the fog, from far and near, the soldiers guarding the city tower will take a look, and they will be busy opening the city gate below.
It turned out that Qin Ye, the general of the garrison in the city, returned, and everyone in the Qin family heard the news and hurriedly greeted each other at the gate of the city.
Duan Lianyi was wrapped in a plain shawl, glimpsing the white mountains, and then seeing the barren depression outside the city, the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and a cold air reaching his chest from time to time.
Finally, the people and horses have reached the city gate, Qin Ye slowly dismounted, this little half a year has not been seen, the spirit is not as good as before, the Lin family is busy stepping forward to support, and the concubines are also surrounded.
And Qin Xuan came on a horse from behind, and after turning over and dismounting, he instructed his father to enter the mansion quickly, and ordered the guards to perform their duties and enter the city.
"How have you been doing in the past six months?"
Qin Xuan led the horse and Duan Lianyi to walk on the street, there were many fewer stalls and vendors on the street in winter, plus this year's rain was enough, the grain harvest was reduced, and the military rations were handed over, and the people could probably only spend the winter.
"I'm quite stable, but you're going to die for a lifetime."
Qin Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "It's cold, I'll talk when I go home."
Back at Qin's Mansion, the two went to Qin Ye's residence first, and it happened that the housekeeper brought two doctors to see him, saying that it was just an ordinary wind and cold, and it would be good to recuperate for a few days, and prescribed a few prescriptions.
Lin handed the prescription to Duan Lianyi and ordered her to send someone to go with the doctor to grab the medicine, she took the prescription and glanced at it a few times before going out.
Qin Xuan also came out and asked to see the prescription, Duan Lianyi didn't say much to give him the prescription, he shook his head when he saw it and returned the prescription to Duan Lianyi, turned around and left without further words.
In the evening, the sky was slightly overcast, and it was snowing lightly, and the stove in the house was very warm.
Qin Xuan sat on the couch outside by himself, not knowing what he was thinking, waiting for Duan Ripple to come in and take off his cloak before coming back to his senses.
Leng Yi then made a pot of tea and put it on the table, glanced at his own lady and went out the door.
"In the past six months, everyone who doesn't know thinks that the war in the north is tight, and they are brave enough to kill the enemy, but in fact, most of the time they are only stationed in place, first they have won a few battles, and then they don't know why they are idle, and at the end, several generals have been called back" Qin Xuan said a little bitterly.
Duan Lianyi also sat down on the couch after hearing this, took out two purple sand cups and poured tea, "You don't have to worry about yourself, it is said that military orders cannot be violated, and the current situation is also, many things are not under your control, just be worthy of your heart"
"You can see it clearly," Qin Xuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
In the evening, after having a meal, the snow has not stopped, Qin Xuan doesn't know where to get interested, invite Duan Lianyi to enjoy the snow outside, although she is not very good at doing such elegant things, but she will go with him when she has nothing to do.
Out of the yard, the path was covered with snow, and it was soft and soft when stepped on, and two rows of footprints formed when you passed.
When the two of them arrived at the center of a pavilion, the snow fell like catkins, Duan Lianyi raised his head slightly, and then saw Qin Xuan pull out a jade flute from his sleeve.
Blowing gently, a song lingers in the air, and the song is mixed with love and hate, as if it came from far away, one after another, as if to remember all the forgotten past, whether it is him or her.
Heavy snow fluttered with the sound of the song, year after year, on the snowy days many years ago, the figure standing on his side became clearer and clearer, but the ending was the end of the song.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down, Duan Lianyi didn't know why he was crying, he only thought that he was dyed by Qin Xuan's flute, and secretly wiped his tears.
Qin Xuan snorted and said, "In my life, I have been dreaming over and over again, the dream is a woman, she has a twenty-four-string zither, only to see her pull out a sharp sword, and cut it towards the zither with all her might, the strings are broken, I was flustered, and I was busy chasing her, but she threw me a white jade flute, and said, 'Break your love and thoughts, never see each other', turned into a white smoke, and there was no trace."
"Every time I wake up, my heart is like a knife, maybe this life is just for her, and the next life is only for her, looking for it, even if I chase it to the end, I have to chase the past, reincarnate for a hundred lifetimes, and ...... at all costs"
Duan Lianyi hurriedly covered his chest when he heard the last few words, gasping for breath, dull and uncomfortable for a while, and only after he finished speaking did he return to normal.
