Chapter 75: Departure

On the shore of Jingyue Lake, the snow melts, the sun in the winter afternoon, it is extraordinarily warm, a girl in green clothes and plain clothes is fishing on her knees, there is a canopy boat on the lake and passes through it elegantly, she is not disturbed, and concentrates on fishing.

Xiao Chonghua, who was walking out of the house, was not only stunned, he stood there for a long time without moving, he had actually seen this picture many times, and every time he saw him, he felt very familiar, he shook his head, and said with a secret smile in his heart, as he got older, he thought more and more about it.

"Hey. The fishing girl seemed to notice someone behind her, and without looking back, she said, "Don't make any noise about my fish." After she finished speaking, the fish floated, she lifted the rod, and laughed: "Chonghua, it's a fathead fish, we have dinner over." ”

Xiao Chonghua smiled: "Well, dinner has fallen." He bowed his head in response, put the fish in the basket for her, and reached out to remove the fine sweat from her forehead. He had been here for many days, and in fact, where she needed to catch any fish, but seeing that she was tired of it, he didn't say anything, "It's the end of the year." ”

Li Yan turned to stare into his eyes and said, "Yes, it's the end of the year, on Chinese New Year's Eve, you always have to go back." She also misses her parents and brothers at home, but those thoughts are pinned on the breeze and the bright moon, but she never wants to go back. "You've been with me for so long, and you're finally going back. ”

"Come to Jiuli Garden on Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, the last day of the year, there is no other meaning for him, and it is just an auspicious picture with the house, but this year, with her, it must be different from previous years.

"Chonghua, I've always been a little curious, don't you miss your sister?" Her little Zhuohua, who lives alone in the huge Zhao Wang's Mansion and grew up with her since she was a child, Li Yan can see that she actually misses her brother very much, but for so many years, Li Yan has never seen him close to Zhuohua.

"You said Zhuohua, she would be better off if I wasn't by her side. "King Zhao is powerful, if he gets too close to Xiao Zhuohua, he will definitely make her the target of public criticism. Moreover, he and his sister Zhuohua haven't seen each other a few times in so many years, so why bother worrying, "She lives very well in Weiyang Palace, I don't want to disturb her, Princess Qiyuan treats her very well." ”

"Princess Qiyuan, I've heard her name, but Weiyang Palace is as deep as the sea, and she is also a poor person. Li Yan sighed, commenting on her life as an outsider.

Xiao Chonghua was helpless, holding her hand and patting it gently, "Do you know that she is a poor person again?" the only princess of Daqin, the pearl of Your Majesty's palm, she lives much more chic than you, and looks much better than you. ”

Li Yan was secretly happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be unhappy on her face, and said angrily: "King Zhao is a princess, a god-given pair." You, I can't figure it out. ”

"No, I have you alone, and the rest of my life is enough. Xiao Chonghua remembered that the girl he saw in King Zhao's mansion that year was also dressed in Tsing Yi, but Princess Qiyuan was born with a beautiful and unparalleled beauty, which was very different from the very powerful premature death in front of her, "But she is the same as you, she likes Tsing Yi, with a plain face, and she is really beautiful." ”

Li Yan had a pimple in her heart, not for Xiao Chonghua's heart-to-heart words, but for the casual words behind, "Then we are really like-minded, if we meet each other, I will definitely be such a heavenly jade for a while." ”

"There will be a chance. If she were his wife, she would naturally have the opportunity to meet Princess Qiyuan, "Come back to the house with me at the end of the year, and leave you here alone, I don't worry." ”

"Then you can rest assured, today the second half of the month has just arrived, I want to go to the South China Sea, Chinese New Year's Eve just arrived, when the South China Sea tide ebb and flow, it is also a memory." Li Yan said slowly, she had heard the story of the South China Sea on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but she didn't believe it, "The gods are also going to celebrate the New Year, in case I encounter a miracle." ”

"You just want to go to the South China Sea like that?" Xiao Chonghua held his forehead, feeling that his head was a little painful, and he couldn't figure out where she was interested, "Wouldn't it be better to go to the South China Sea again next summer." ”

"I have thought about it, people who want to cool off think so, if I am the dragon girl, where do I dare to haunt in summer, this is not plain and stupid, Chinese New Year's Eve in the South China Sea, there must be no one." She didn't know why she was so determined, but in the dark, someone told her that she had to go to Nanhai.

These unreasonable myths, as well as this peach forest in Yanqiu, she wants to understand.

"By the way, you nest in my small place every day, don't you have any official business in the house?" Li Yan was puzzled, since Xiao Chonghua was injured, he seemed to be very free, not to mention fishing and drinking tea with her every day, even if he was reading, he didn't fall behind for a moment, thanks to his teaching, Li Yan once thought that she was still in the study, and most of the excerpts on the bookshelf were confiscated, and she was very resentful about it.

"The three armies obey the main general, if there is no main general, it will be a plate of scattered sand, then I will have to self-examine. Such a simple truth, but you want to ask, it seems that you didn't listen to what I taught. ”

Li Yan secretly said in her heart, and was caught again, "I listened to it, I listened to it, but I don't want to march and fight, I want to control the upper and lower levels, what's the use of you teaching me this? In the future, I will be a hero who is free from the rivers and lakes, this temple is so high, and the height is unbearable." ”

"You. Xiao Chonghua scratched the tip of her nose dotingly, "I don't want you to seek your heart, I just hope that one day, if I am not by your side, you will learn to protect yourself." ”

"Tut-tut, and said that he would protect me for the rest of my life, and I tried to be sincere in a few words. She got up, patted her dress, and instructed Xiao Chonghua as a matter of course, "Take the fish basket, I'll go back and make you a braised fathead fish, keep it delicious." ”

Xiao Chonghua couldn't help laughing, resigned himself to picking up the fish basket, picked up the fishing rod by the lake, and asked, "I've always been curious, how did you come to be a chef." "Daqin's noble daughter never cooks, even if she is on a whim, she just stands on the side and directs her subordinates how to get it, and she will never do it herself, but in the past ten days, he has seen her cooking skills, not to mention superb, but the home-cooked dishes are very delicious.

"I have an eldest brother who has been frail and very picky since he was a child, and especially when he is sick, he does not touch the food cooked by others, except for me and my mother. For my children, how can I bear to let my mother cook every day, and over time it will be. My eldest brother, you have a chance, you must know, gentle as jade, in this world, there is no better man than him, no, Brother Xiu is good. "The crown prince Li Yu is the best brother in the world, he is filial piety, treats his brothers and sisters sincerely, and his husband and wife are sincere, Li Yan really can't think of a better word.

"Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is very good. Xiao Chonghua couldn't help but laugh and didn't brush her beard, this girl admired her brother very much, and he didn't have the courage to slander her future brother-in-law.

Li Yan turned her head, looked carefully, and pulled Xiao Chonghua's face with her hand, "Why didn't I find out before, your cheekiness can be used as armor in the army." There is not a single word of the eight characters, who is your brother-in-law. If my eldest brother is here, I have to break your leg, and no one dares to take advantage of his sister in front of him. ”

Princess Qiyuan has been able to walk horizontally in Weiyang Palace since she was a child, which not only has the favor of Jinshang and the queen, but also His Royal Highness King Rui, who is now the crown prince Li Yu. She lived a very comfortable life, so much so that she never found the sorrow of the emperor's son in the deep palace.

Xiao Heng, the king of Zhao, who has always been the same, can only be silent at this time, he can see that she respects this brother very much, maybe today's temperament is probably protected by this brother, he wants to thank the man he has never met, who has guarded her for more than ten years.

The small kitchen was busy, and a plate of braised fathead fish was served on the table, accompanied by a bowl of egg drop soup, a vegetable and a soup, and a bowl of white rice. Li Yan took a few mouthfuls of rice, and Xiao Chonghua on the other side was also chewing slowly, she asked, "I really wronged you, I sincerely persuaded you to go home." You see that my temple here is small, and when you make an offering to this big Buddha, I am worried every day. ”

Xiao Chonghua smiled, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm just a little woman, Xingxia Jianghu, you are the king of Zhao, stay here with me all day, I always feel that there is a conspiracy. She took a bowl of soup, swallowed it, and continued, "Do you have an old man who looks like me, it must be so." ”

"You think about this all day long? You've read so many stories about scholars and young ladies, can't you think of something else? I really only know one person who looks like this, don't think nonsense. Xiao Chonghua said seriously.

"The excerpts are all fake, how can there be such a good thing. Besides, other people's scholars are from poor families, and I can be regarded as a girl from a scholarly family, but you are not, who are you, Zhao Wang Xiao Heng. When I was in Fengjing, I had heard about your deeds, and during this time, I felt that it was untrue, and there must be a big conspiracy. Li Yan suddenly came to her senses and said, "You don't want to do anything to the Lanling Xie clan, let me state first, I have nothing to do with them, don't look for the wrong person." ”

Although she really doesn't have the surname Xie, after all, she is a relative, and she is her mother's family. "After you finish this meal, hurry away, I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"I'll go with you. Xiao Chonghua was silent, finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said lightly.

"No, Zhuohua will come every year, counting the time, it's just these days. Li Yan blurted out. Every year before the lunar month arrives, Zhuohua will set off from Fengjing and come to Yannan to reunite with Xiao Chonghua.

"How do you know?" Xiao Zhuohua comes every year, and few people know about it, all for her safety.

"I know anyway. She and Zhuohua had nothing to talk about, how could they not know about it.

Xiao Chonghua took his hand and said, "She won't come this year, Princess Jingzhong is seriously ill, and she has to take care of the princess." ”

Li Yan is embarrassed, the seriously ill princess in Beijing, and now she is standing here dignifiedly. However, Zhuohua is her companion, and if the princess is seriously ill, it is indeed difficult for her to leave Beijing.

"I'm going to wash the dishes. He put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and took them out.

Li Yan touched her head, thinking about what to do.
