As soon as I got downstairs, I happened to meet Pei Yuanxiu, who seemed to have finished talking to the boss and was about to come up to pick me up, but when he saw that I had come down by myself, he hurriedly greeted me: "Are you better?" ”

I smiled: "It's just a little thing, don't hang it all the time." ”

He also smiled: "My bride, can I not hang it?" ”

"Fleshy."

I smiled and shook my head, he looked at me, showed a happy smile, reached out to hold me, also half-hugged me, turned around and walked out of Februaryhong.

The boss was still standing at the gate to send off, and in front, the attendant and carriage he arranged had stopped on the opposite street, and I followed him over, and when I got into the car, I couldn't help but turn around and look at the third floor of the restaurant.

The figure was still standing by the window, but the sun was too bright for me to see the expression on his face, only the shiny mask reflected by the sunlight, revealing a little cold light.

And in his hand, he seemed to be gently turning the jade wrench.

I didn't say anything all the way back, Pei Yuanxiu just let me sit next to him when I was not very comfortable, reached over with one hand and stroked my cheek and let me lean on his shoulder, and said softly: "Sleep for a while." ”

A smile appeared on my face, and I didn't speak, just closed my eyes slightly.

But closing your eyes doesn't mean you can't see anything, and in the darkness, the half of the mask and the half of the face still emerge.

If, after Wangjiang Pavilion, I still had some doubts, now, I really believe it.

He forgot about me.

Even if he sees me and Pei Yuanxiu so tender and sweet, he will be subconsciously displeased, even if he knows that I have known him once, he will keep asking, but he really forgot about me.

Completely forgotten.

I couldn't help it, and gently hooked the corner of my lips again.

God's arrangement, it's really interesting, let him show up when I need someone to rescue me the most; When I was completely dead to Pei Yuanhao, I fell in love with him; When I was struggling in the palace, let him enter the palace......

When I had Pei Yuanxiu by my side, he made him forget about me.

A qiē is like a play.

Compared with the original stage, Huang Tianba and Chang Qing's raised their hands and threw their feet, which was more smooth and natural, all the actions, all the lyrics, all the complexes, all the endings, they had already been scripted, and arrangements had been made, and no one was allowed to change them, nor was it allowed to look back.

This is my play with him.

In my life, his role has ended.

But what about in his own world? Where is he going? What kind of drama do you want to write?

Today in Februaryhong, the guests he invited to the banquet, although they were only in a hurry in the stairwell, I could already see that those people were not locals, and their accents were wrong, but like the generation of Zhoushan and Songjiang; Although he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and it was easy to disappear into the crowd when walking on the street, I saw that one of the people who said goodbye to him had the black brand tied around his waist, which was actually a black jade brand.

I can faintly see that the jade plate is carved with Xuanwu.

In the Celestial Empire, few people brought Xuanwu ornaments, but there was one kind of person who was the exception - those who were close to the sea.

Time passed day by day.

Yangzhou is busy, and Jinling is also busy.

Pei Yuanxiu and my wedding is getting closer and closer, and the people in the house are getting busier and busier, almost every day I can see those attendants shuttling up and down, sometimes I don't know what they are busy with, but seeing their hurried appearance, it is not easy to stop and ask.

So, although everyone is busy for me, I am the most idle.

During this period, I also heard that after the navigation of the Yangtze River, it was indeed convenient for the people on both sides of the Yangtze River, and everyone applauded.

It is said that Liu Qinghan's Qiansu banquet posts have been released, not only Yangzhou, but also the centenarians near the state capital have been invited by him, and they have also sent people to drive a carriage to invite those old people, and there are even two old people who live in seclusion in the mountains, Liu Qinghan personally went to invite them, and now they are temporarily living in the official residence.

There are a lot of folk rumors, naturally some are good and some are bad, but most of them still praise him for respecting the old and the virtuous, being honest and honest, and having the spirit of Lord Liu Shizhou and Lord Liu Yi at the beginning.

And his move has indeed stabilized the hearts of the people.

I listened to the voices of the maids and attendants talking outside the window, smiled faintly, and continued to sit by the window, quietly embroidering flowers.

When I finally finished the last stitch, I lifted my somewhat sore neck and looked out, it was already noon.

It's dark, but it's not so good.

Layers of dark clouds gathered together, obscuring out the good morning sun, and a gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves in the yard.

And Pei Yuanxiu came with the coolness of the wind.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw me sitting by the window, smiling and walking over, and when he saw the bandage in my hand, he was stunned: "This is—"

I smiled, removed the handkerchief from the bandage, and put it in the palm of my hand: "Is it pretty?" ”

He didn't speak immediately, but recognized it before he said, "Is it the one you embroidered before?" ”

"Hmm." I smiled and nodded.

When he was recuperating at home after being shot in Jixiang Village, I secretly embroidered this handkerchief, but I didn't finish embroidering it at that time, but I had time to embroider the last few maple leaves today. The color is just right, the color is just right, and when I look at it in my hand, I feel very gorgeous.

Pei Yuanxiu looked down for a while, but instead of smiling and praising my craftsmanship as usual, he said calmly: "Why, embroidery on coarse cloth?" ”

I looked up at him and smiled, "It's okay, I don't need it anyway." ”

"Then why embroider?"

I smiled, but digressed, "By the way, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'll wait a while, and I'll get ready to cross the river."

He was stunned for a moment.

What I'm saying is that when I'm going to cross the river later, I'll tell him, not ask him. He was not moved, but sat down beside me and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Go ask for something."

"What, so important? Can't you go in a few days? ”

I smiled: "In a few days, it will be too late." ”

I said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." You don't need to bring me many people, just ask Ping'er to accompany me. ”

He glanced at me, didn't say anything, was silent for a while, and said softly: "It's windy outside, remember to add some clothes." ”

"Hmm."

It can be seen that he is not very reluctant for me to go out at this time, after all, it is the end of February, and in two or three days it will be my wedding with him.

However, I had already opened my mouth, and he did not obstruct him any more.

After a while, the carriage was already guarding outside the door, Ping'er stood by the car, carefully helped me into the car, I sat on the edge of the bed, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw Pei Yuanxiu still standing at the door, and said calmly: "Come back early." ”

I nodded slightly, and the carriage headed forward.

When I arrived at the dock, I changed the boat, it was still the same boat as before, it was safe and quiet, Ping'er had been standing at the bow of the boat, and when he saw the opposite river bank slowly approaching, he finally seemed to be unable to help it, and turned his head to look at me: "Aunt Qing, what are you going to do when you cross the river today?" ”

I looked ahead and didn't speak, Ping'er looked at me for a long time and didn't speak again, but when the boat was about to dock, I suddenly murmured, "Ping'er, Aunt Qing gave you something." ”

He looked at me, "What? ”

I squeezed my hand and reached over, and he subconsciously reached out.

A thing wrapped in red cloth fell heavily in the palm of his hand, Ping'er was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and was about to take it, when he heard me say softly: "Wait until I'm gone and then dismantle." ”

"Why?"

I looked ahead in a daze, at this time the boat had slowly moved to the side of the trestle, the hull of the boat shook, I also trembled, as if I was awake at this time, turned my head to look at him, and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid I'm reluctant." ”

Ping'er looked at me in slight surprise.

As soon as the boat docked, I went to the pier by myself, and let Ping'er and the boatman wait for me here, originally Ping'er wanted to accompany me into the city, but I refused.

A person slowly walked to the city, this road is not unfamiliar to me, although the weather is not good, but the mood of Yangzhou people seems to be very good, the streets and alleys are still full of traffic, people are boiling, maybe because of the relationship of the banquet, the street can really see a lot of old people, it seems that I don't want to come to Yangzhou a year ago, although there was no war, but the expression on everyone's face is cloudy and uncertain, now, it seems that the clouds are broken, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

It's just that today's weather is not so good.

I slowly walked to the door of Februaryhong, and as soon as the boss saw me, he immediately greeted me: "Madam? Why is Madame here again today? We are already preparing to close the store tomorrow, and we are going to cross the river to prepare for the wedding banquet of Mrs. and Son. ”

I glanced upstairs and said, "Take me to the third floor." ”

"Third floor?" The boss looked at me, and his voice subconsciously lowered: "Lord Liu, you are on the third floor." ”

I smiled faintly: "I know, he comes drinking alone every day these days, right?" ”

The boss was startled and didn't speak for a while.

"I have something to talk to him about."

The boss looked at me again, didn't say anything, just carefully guided me: "Madame, please." ”

I followed him upstairs, listening to the footsteps echoing in the narrow stairwell, I had never felt the footsteps so loud, maybe it was because the footsteps were too heavy, when I went up to the third floor, I gasped slightly, and stood still holding on to the wooden railing, and I saw the huge window, a person was sitting there, and the table in front of me was empty, only a pot of wine and a glass.

He also turned his head when he heard my footsteps.

The half of the intact face showed a surprised expression, while the mask on the other half of the face was like condensed ice.

It's cool.

As soon as I saw him, I smiled and walked over: "Lord Liu." ”
