When Yu'er heard what he said, she was also stunned: "Huh? Which words? ”

"It's—"

"Childe!" I lay on the bed, unable to listen any longer, and was so anxious that my face changed and interrupted him. Pei Yuanxiu glanced down at me, through the white veil, he clearly shouldn't be able to see my embarrassed expression, but for some reason, looking at the smile on the corner of his slightly curled lips, as if he understood everything.

He asked me with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

I coughed lightly and said, "You're tired too, you should get some rest." ”

"Oh......"

"I, I'm with Yu'er, reunite after a long absence......"

"I know, you must have a lot of personal things to say, don't you?"

I nodded hurriedly, but I saw that his eyes were crooked with a smile, and as soon as I pondered the meaning of the "private words", everyone was about to burn, and Yu'er didn't dare to speak when she stood next to her, but Yao Lao coughed, shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled at me again, turned around and walked out.

The door was closed, and although there were attendants outside, the room was calm. I breathed a sigh of relief and raised my head to let Yu'er sit, but I saw her looking thoughtfully at the door.

I said softly, "Yu'er, what are you thinking?" ”

She looked back at me, then at the door, sat down on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "Why are you with him?" He wasn't—"

Of course I know what she wants to ask, after the war, the world changed hands, Pei Yuanxiu disappeared for three years, even if the war in Dongzhou was towering, but I don't think many people know that the person standing behind the smoke and flames of war is him, until now, he has become the overlord of Jiangnan, and the earth-shaking changes during this period are not something that Yu'er can imagine.

I can only tell her in one sentence: "It's hard to say." ”

She listened, a little ignorant, but also had a clear idea: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly looked at me and said, "What about you?" What's the matter with you? Back then, I was waiting for you to come out at the gate of the palace, but I actually saw three - seeing that the emperor had arrested you back, what happened to you? Have you been in the palace all these years? ”

Her barrage of questions was actually just unintentional concern, but when I said it, every sentence poked at my old wounds.

It's just that today, I seem to be able to face those memories a little calmly, I looked down and thought about it, and still replied to her: "It's hard to say." ”

"Ah......h

Seeing that she seemed dissatisfied with my "perfunctory" behavior, I said softly: "I have been staying in the palace a few years ago, well-I have been a talented person. ”

"Huh?"

"But it's scrapped."

"Huh?"

"I gave birth to a daughter to the emperor."

"Huh?"

"My daughter is now, here in Tai-Pei Gongzi."

"Huh?"

Every time I said a word, Yu'er said "ah", one by one, and her eyes opened wider and wider. Speaking of which, she is also in her twenties and almost thirty, and her original personality has not changed at all, and she is still like a child. I couldn't help but laugh and stretched out my fingers to pinch her two gaping lips: "Ah what. ”

She closed her mouth, still looking at me with a complicated and tangled expression, and after a while, she reluctantly said twice: "Qingying, what kind of life have you lived all these years?" ”

I smiled.

She shook her head, and she was a little unrefreshed: "No wonder I saw that the government actually posted your portrait, but it frightened me." ”

I laughed and said, "What about you?" How have you spent all these years? ”

Yu'er said: "I have been waiting for you to leave the palace, but I saw that you were arrested and returned, and I waited outside for two days, and no one told me when I inquired about the news, I had no choice but to leave the capital, and later came to Jinling and worked as a girl in a big family." ”

She has no father or mother, and there is no other place to go when she leaves the palace. We agreed to leave the palace together, but I was forced to stay, so she had to go out alone.

"I did a good job, and in the end, the twenty or so girls in that family will listen to me."

Looking at her smug look, I laughed and asked, "Then how did you come to Yangzhou?" ”

When she heard this, her face sank: "The master of that family...... He always does things to me, and when my wife was sick two years ago, he became even more unscrupulous, and he wanted to ask me to be my little wife. I didn't want to do it, so I took the opportunity to escape. ”

She said, still a little angry: "People in their fifties, and they are still so." What else do you say, I'm not too young, and no one wants to let it out with a boy, hmph, I don't believe it. ”

Looking at her stubborn appearance, I think she has suffered a lot in the past two years, but I didn't expect her to be like this, and she has always refused to admit defeat. I remember the day before I was about to leave the palace, she once told me that she was going to marry a businessman, have a big mansion, a garden, and a puppy. Speaking of which, maybe these lives were close to her, but she decided to give up.

Because, in this qiē, there is only that person, not what she wants.

Speaking of which, when a woman marries someone, she is married to that "person", and she has never heard of marrying a house and marrying a family wealth.

I just feel admired.

Hearing me laugh at these words, she also blushed a little, and carefully pinched the back of my hand: "What about you?" I used to say you weren't happy, but now you're not—"

I laughed: "I married a fisherman. ”

"Ah?!"

This sound was louder than the previous ones, and Yu'er's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at me blankly: "Fisherman? He-he-he-"

As she spoke, she looked out the door, where an attendant served, but there was no sound. I said in a calm tone, "It's not him. I got married a few years ago outside the palace. ”

"So, what about your father-in-law?"

There was a crack in the calm expression on my face.

The sourness in his chest, which had been suppressed, also surged up at this time, and his eyes suddenly turned red. I choked up for a long time, smiled wryly and shook my head gently: "He's not by my side." ”

Yu'er seemed to be a fantasy this time, and said in disbelief: "You really married a fisherman." ”

Yes, on the eve of leaving the palace, when I joked with her, I joked that I would marry a fisherman in the future, because I like to eat fish (Yu).

Unexpectedly, it became a proverb!

Yu'er and I had a good relationship in the palace in the past, and this time we reunited after a long absence, although we have experienced a lot, our feelings have not changed.

It's just that there are still some changes.

We talked for a while, and I could see that she was happy and cared about me again, and asked me a lot of questions, but every time I asked her how she was doing, she was overwhelmed.

After two times, I noticed the dodgy gaze in her eyes.

If it were someone else, I might be wary, but Yu'er - I don't want to be wary of a sister who has been with me for many years, and besides, her concern for me is not fake, but her lame dodging and perfunctory behavior is not like what she would have done in the past.

When it was time to eat, she smiled and patted my hands: "I'm leaving." ”

I was stunned: "You want to go?" ”

"Of course, I'm here this time just to come and see, and I'm relieved to know that you're okay."

I said softly, "Yu'er, you really ......"

She smiled at me again, and that smile was still perfunctory.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay." Now that I've just detoxified, I can't get together with you. In the future, the two sisters will have a good talk. ”

When she heard this, she immediately said, "Are you still here?" ”

I looked up at her, and saw that she was a little evasive: "Well, it's not easy to come here." ”

I smiled at her.

Yu'er stayed for a while, then went out to say goodbye and left, I heard an attendant go to see her off, and after a while, Pei Yuanxiu pushed the door and came in.

Because of the white veil on his face, my expression was a little blurry when I looked at the person from afar, but it was also because of this veil that I vaguely felt that he seemed to be smiling all the time, smiling more gently than any kind of dream.

walked to the side of the bed, bowed his head and said, "After talking for so long, are you tired?" ”

I nodded.

"Then do you want to rest?"

I shook my head: "Ping'er, is he better?" ”

In the past two days, I have only cared about my detoxification, and I can't take care of this child, after such a big change, where will he go in the future, I have been hovering on the edge of life and death for the past two days, and I can't scruple about it, but now, I can't help but think about it.

Pei Yuanxiu listened, as if frowning slightly: "Why are you always-"

I looked at him calmly.

Just looking at each other for a moment, he seemed to understand something again, and he didn't want to ask anymore, just smiled lightly: "You! ”

After a while, he found Ping'er.

There was some accident, or maybe it wasn't an accident, the child didn't cry anymore, but his eyes were red, and he didn't seem to have slept for a long time, and there was a heavy breath in the whole person, and he didn't talk much, and he didn't smile.

When he saw me, he just said, "Aunt Qing, are you well?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded, and sat on the edge of the bed as best I could, trying to take him into my arms, but he seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and when I reached for him again, it seemed that it was not a boy, but a man.

So, I didn't hug him, I just said, "Gu Ping, you stand up, you are braver than Aunt Qing thinks." ”

His little pale face was slightly moved, and he looked up at me.

"Aunt Qing doesn't want to control your future life, but Aunt Qing also wants to know, what are your plans?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to Jinling to be a soldier." ”

"Soldiering?"

I was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said, "Why?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu said on the side: "I arranged it for him." ”

I turned my head to look at him, and Pei Yuanxiu said: "He is not very old, and if he stays in Yangzhou, you will not be at ease; He is not too young and should do something, so I let him into the camp, have food to eat, and a place to live, and if he does well in the future, he will live better. ”

Such an arrangement is really appropriate.

He had even thought that when he went to the south, I would be able to meet Gu Ping.

This kind of seamless thoughtfulness really makes me have nothing to say, I thought about it, turned to Gu Ping and said, "What about you?" Would you like to do the same? ”

Gu Ping nodded: "I'm a man." ”

"Hmm."

"I'll feed myself."

Both men said so, and I didn't have anything to say, so I nodded: "So be it." ”

Pei Yuanxiu saw me nodding, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile again, and then said, "Okay, now that everything is in order, we should go back." ”
