When I first came here, Meishan was desolate, just after the earthquake, and the road to Meishan was full of corpses on both sides. At that time, the entire Meishan was like falling into the Yama Palace, lifeless, and even the walking carriage could hear the sound of rotten trees and dead trees.

In just two years, it's a different story.

Maybe it is because of life and death that you can be reborn in Nirvana.

The people of Meishan did not forget the husband and wife of the King of Chu, and after receiving the news, they rushed to the evening pavilion outside the county early to wait.

Meishan is not far from Yizhou, and it only took a day to drive the carriage, but by the time the sun had set.

The night before, Qin Ruxin asked people to hurry back to Meishan to deliver the letter, and Yan'er and her younger brother Xiaoqiu waited in the evening pavilion after eating at noon.

When Rong Zhao left, Xiaoqiu couldn't even walk, and now it's time to jump and jump, and there is no time to stop.

He always heard his sister mention the princess and the prince, he was young at that time and didn't know anything, but his sister's indoctrination kept these two people in his heart.

Although he is not masked, he looks like a very familiar person.

Yan'er's heart has grown grass early, and she is anxious to wait. The letter said that it might be the middle of the night, but she couldn't wait.

For nearly two whole years, she thought that she would never see the princess and princess again in this life, as well as Sister Qiushui Lonely Crane, and Brother Nighthawk Night Owl, but she didn't think that there would be a chance to meet again.

Yan'er craned her neck and waited, and the shadow on the ground from the noon sun became more and more slender.

Occasionally chatting with the people who waited with her was also about what the prince and the princess did for the people of Meishan County that year.

She had never seen the princess try the case, nor had she seen the appearance of the corrupt official named Fang Deyu who was executed by Ling Chi at the entrance of the vegetable market. All she had heard had been told to her by those who had seen it with their own eyes.

"Sister, there's a carriage over there. Xiaoqiu ran to the hill next to the twilight pavilion, and saw in the distance the fluctuations of human figures and horses in the last trace of afterglow of the sunset.

Yan'er ran up when she heard the wind, and the carriage was getting closer and closer to them, and they could vaguely see the person riding a horse next to the carriage, and the outline gradually became clear.

"Brother Nighthawk, Brother Nighthawk. Yan'er screamed excitedly, and she hugged Xiaoqiu, "Look, that leader, the majestic person on the horse, that person is Brother Nighthawk." ”

It seems that all the delicious food was given to Xiaoqiu, and when he was raised fat, Yan'er lost a lot of weight, and it was too hard to pick him up. After supporting him a few times, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he put him down.

Yan'er led Xiaoqiu, ran in the direction of the carriage, and waved at them, "Sister Princess, Brother Wangye, Brother Nighthawk, Sister Qiushui, Sister Lonely, Brother Night Owl." She shouted all over again, but none of them fell.

Her voice was crisp and sweet, rippling in the long and narrow valley to and from Meishan County, and the echoes of one after another urged the withered grass buried under the snow to break through the soil.

Qiushui heard the sound and opened the curtain of the car, and it was dark outside, and only two black shadows running from the opposite side could be seen.

But she remembered the voice.

"It's Yan'er, miss, Yan'er is here to pick us up. Qiushui was so excited that she almost jumped out of the car window, and she pulled the lonely bird to look out, "Look at the lonely bird, it's Yan'er, Yan'er has grown into a big girl." The little boy she was holding must be Xiaoqiu, time flies so fast, Xiaoqiu was still a baby in swaddling clothes when we left, and now he is so tall. ”

She got out half of her body and shook her arms and shouted at them, "Yan'er, Xiaoqiu, we're back, don't you see me? I'm your sister Qiushui." ”

Tired of shouting a few times, she shrank back and pulled the lonely bird to watch with her.

This time it is a play, there are not so many rules, Qiushui and Lone Crane are also sitting in the carriage, and Qin Ruxin is also sitting together.

He also squeezed into one of the windows and looked out. The carriage was getting closer and closer, and the people waiting in the twilight pavilion also came up, Qin Ruxin pointed and shouted: "There are also the people of Meishan, they are also here." ”

His exhaled breath hit the top of Lonely's head, and when he turned his face sideways, his face rubbed against his face.

The narrow window, equipped with three heads, can imagine how crowded it is, and collisions are inevitable.

The lonely crane's face "rubbed", like a fire burning clouds, and half of his face was red.

She panicked away, sat down on the other side, stuck her head out the window, and exhaled deeply.

The breeze is blowing, and the face is not so hot.

Qin Ruxin was stunned for a long time, Qiushui's head was at the front, and he only cared about waving to the people outside, who cared about what was happening behind his head.

Slowly, Qin Ruxin sat down honestly, his eyes glanced at the lonely crane with shyness and unconsciousness, and his face slowly turned red.

When they got closer, Nighthawk reined in her horse, and Yan'er ran over, her delicate voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Brother Nighthawk, do you still recognize me?

She tilted her head and smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and when she looked again, her grinning mouth was missing two front teeth.

Nighthawk touched her head, "Yan'er has grown into a big girl, Brother Nighthawk, I really can't recognize it." ”

"Are all the princes and princesses here?" Yan'er asked with excitement as she glanced at the slowly approaching carriage.

"It's all here, let's go and say hello to the princess and princess. ”

The carriage was driven by a night owl, pulling the reins to stop the carriage.

As soon as they stopped, Qiushui and Lone Crane pushed open the door and jumped down, holding Yan'er and always looking to the right, Lone Crane also picked up Xiaoqiu, "Miss, you see that Xiaoqiu is so old." ”

She put Xiaoqiu in the car, and after saying this, her expression paused.

She was happy for a while, forgetting that Miss didn't remember Xiaoqiu and Yan'er.

Rong Zhao looked at them coldly to reminisce about the past, and the people who surrounded her, she all looked at them coldly.

joke, she is a dignified princess of Chu, what kind of friendship does she have with this group of lowly poor people, and she is down.

Yan'er saw Rong Zhao's cold expression, and the enthusiasm in her heart was like being extinguished by ice water little by little, she remembered that the princess's sister loved her very much at that time, why was she so indifferent to her now?

She tried to hold Rong Zhao's hand, but she shook it away, her eyes full of boredom and disdain.

Qiushui hugged her and whispered in her ear: "The princess doesn't remember the first few years, don't blame her." Yan'er looked at her in surprise, she touched the top of Yan'er's head, "It's okay, you should get to know her again." ”

Qiushui encouraged her, "Try again." ”

Yan'er plucked up her courage and took Rong Zhao's hand again, Rong Zhao just wanted to shake her off, she suddenly threw herself into Rong Zhao's arms, "Sister Princess, Yan'er misses you so much." ”

Rong Zhao was stunned, as if something had hit her, and a palm invisibly softened her heart.

She looked at Yan'er who was holding her, and then looked at the smiling faces outside the car, and asked her if she was tired or hungry all the way, and a complicated mood rose in her heart.

She had never had such mixed feelings before.

Still like before, they lived in the county office. For Qin Ruxin, the only luxury he has is this prefect of the county government, which was left by the prefect of the county.

He thought that it was a waste to only live in the huge mansion with his and Yan'er's two siblings, so he opened up the east and west courtyards of the mansion.

The east courtyard is for the elderly who have no children, no daughters and no one to take care of them, and the west courtyard is for many homeless children like Yan'er and Xiaoqiu.

Rong Zhao and Xiao Junjue were arranged to live in the place where they originally lived, and it was definitely said that Rong Zhao lived in the same place before.

Walking through the verandah, Xiao Junjue had mixed feelings in her heart, and every grass and tree here seemed to be the same as that year.

The days in Meishan that year were not long, but it seems that some things are so profound.

Yan'er held a plate of hot dumplings in front of Rong Zhao, "Sister Princess, do you remember, when you left, Yan'er gave you a plate of dumplings I wrapped, you try this to see if Yan'er has made progress." ”

It was a plate of dumplings mixed with tears, Xiao Junjue remembered that time, and kept saying how unpalatable people were, but Rong Zhao, who had eaten a mouthful of it, looked at her with a softer gaze.

He knew that no matter how arrogant Rong Zhao was, her heart was soft and kind.

Seeing Rong Zhao slowly frowning, it was obvious that he was disgusted. Xiao Junjue picked up the chopsticks and clamped one, the dumpling filling was three fresh fillings, and when she took a bite, the oil and water sprayed all over her mouth.

"It's delicious, you taste it. Xiao Junjue ignored her, grabbed another one, and nodded at Yan'er, which was regarded as approval.

Then I ate the third, and then the fourth.

Rong Zhao saw that he was eating fragrantly, and the dumplings on the plate were missing one after another, and he was in a hurry, "People made them for me to eat, you have eaten them, so what should I eat?"

Xiao Junjue smiled, her expression was quite helpless, and said, "I thought you wouldn't eat, so I'll do it for you." ”

"Who said I don't eat, did I say it?" Rong Zhao felt that Xiao Junjue was a little underwhelmed, how long had she not slapped him?

Sure enough, the man didn't fight for three days, and went to the house to uncover the tiles.

Xiao Junjue took a small bowl, scooped a spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of minced garlic, two spoonfuls of vinegar, and then a dumpling and dipped it, and fed it to Rong Zhao.

The dumplings had just come out of the pot, and they were still a little hot, touching her lips, and they were hot, and Rong Zhao was hypocritical, "Oh, it's so hot, you want to burn me to death?"

Xiao Junjue felt that it was easier to serve the uncle than to serve her, "Okay, I'll give you a cool drink." ”

"Flutter" Yan'er covered her mouth and laughed, Rong Zhao turned her head to look at her, and she said, "Sister Princess and Brother Wang Ye are still the same as before, they haven't changed at all. She waved her hand again, "No, it's changed, the princess brother has become more considerate, and the princess's sister has become more hypocritical." ”

In the past, Rong Zhao's eyebrows were deeply locked, and the cerebellum was about to wrinkle out.

What was it like before?

She never thought about what happened in this part of the period she didn't remember before, but for some reason, from the moment she stepped into Meishan, she actually had a trace of curiosity.

What happened during that time?

She turned her face again and saw Xiao Junjue blowing dumplings for her beside her, and her unfluctuating heart lake fell layer by layer.
