"Greetings, Miss!"

With this shout, the entire city gate fell silent.

Even if the curtain was only half lifted, I could clearly see the stunned expressions of the people around me, as well as the deferential appearance of the guards, and for a moment, my feet were almost full of people.

The sunlight shone on Pei Yuanxiu's face through the gap in the curtain I lifted, and although I didn't deliberately look at him, I could feel that his face changed slightly.

As the former pride of the heavens and the prince of the Celestial Empire, of course he understands this feeling of "the earth is under my feet", and it is probably this feeling that makes countless people obsessed with sitting on the cold dragon chair in the imperial city, and even Pei Yuanhao will give up Nangong Lizhu for this reason, which shows the temptation of that feeling; But this feeling has always been only for the Nine-Five Supreme who really sat on the dragon chair in the Nine-Fold Three Palaces. He probably didn't expect that in Xichuan, there would be people who were not surnamed Wang who enjoyed such treatment.

I, on the other hand, frowned slightly unconsciously.

The hand retracted, and the curtain drooped.

The people outside didn't move for a while, and no one dared to speak, it was only after a while that I came back to my senses, and I didn't let them get up, and they didn't dare to stand up. So he was even more bored, sat by the window and said lightly: "You all get up." ”

This time, I heard the sound of them getting up.

The carriage continued on its way.

Before entering the city, I had already heard the sound of the bustling city in the city, but this time I entered the city, but I couldn't hear that kind of sound. In fact, wherever the carriage goes, the surroundings are quiet, and I didn't open the curtain to look outside, after all, it was not interesting to look at the black head, but as the carriage advanced, the curtain swayed, and I could see the ordinary people outside standing on both sides of the street, looking at the carriage with a deferential expression.

Pei Yuanxiu sat next to the carriage, and also saw the scene outside through the curtain, and after a while, he turned his head to look at me.

I was already a little weak, and when I met his gaze, I only said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I really feel now that I'm married to a big man."

“……”

He said "feel", not "know".

I tugged at the corners of my lips, and I didn't have any joy for the identity of this "big man", but the irritability I had in my heart before became a little more and more, but before I could say anything, his hand reached over again and gently took me into his arms.

"However, no matter how big it is, it's also my little wife."

“……！” I was stunned for a moment and looked up at him, and met the corners of his smiling eyes, which were soft and shining, and my shadow was reflected in his eyes, as if they were also soothed by that look.

I couldn't help but feel soft.

Although there are still too many things holding my heart now, and there is no way to laugh happily, but such a soft heart really makes me feel a little relieved.

Gently nodded in his arms: "Hmm." ”

He smiled and leaned over and put his lower lip on my forehead.

The carriage is still moving forward, from the sounds I heard before entering the city, I can already guess that the prosperity of Chengdu City on weekdays must also be people coming and going, busy with traffic, and it is not easy for the carriage to run smoothly on such a street; But today, the carriage traveled smoothly, and of course I understood that someone had arranged it.

But even with this smoothness, the carriage still walked for most of the day, and it had just walked less than a quarter of the distance of the avenue that ran through the east and west.

And I remember that the Yan family's mansion was in the center of the city.

Looking at the sky outside, it has already passed the time of Shen, and if I go down, I am afraid that it will be dark, and I may not be able to reach it.

I was worried when I felt the head of the carriage turn and instead of continuing down the avenue, I headed north.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't know much about Chengdu, and only sat silently, although I was still gently embraced by him, but as the carriage moved forward little by little, I didn't have to look, I could feel where the carriage had passed, and where it was slowly driving now.

The carriage is heading north.

The more you advance, the quieter it becomes, not the kind of silence that the people around you stare with bated breath, but the fact that there is no one here at all.

The carriage passed through several Tibetan academies, and after a torii, the surrounding area was no longer a street, but a wide open space, and the carriage drove by, and almost the echo of the monotonous wheel crashing on the ground could be heard, which was a little surprising in such a quiet environment.

Pei Yuanxiu's hand holding my hand was also slightly strained.

Then, the carriage stopped.

At this moment, the center of my eyebrows twisted out a Sichuan character.

Pei Yuanxiu had already sensed my strangeness, and just as he was about to say something, the neat voices of that group of people had already sounded outside-

"Respectfully, Miss."

I was at a stalemate for a while, and instead of making myself better, my face turned paler, Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "What's wrong?" ”

In his opinion, I have promised to come to Xichuan, so of course I am prepared for anything that happens.

It's just that it's not enough to be prepared.

I haven't moved, he reached over and took my hand, just touched, he felt a cold sweat in my palm, he looked at me, I have said softly, "Let's get out of the car." ”

The voices are a little strangely hoarse.

Because of this, he did not let go of my hand, but reached over with his other hand to lift the curtain, and got out of the carriage first, and when he looked up, he saw the carriage in front of him.

Immediately, his face was stunned, and he showed a stunned expression, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, stared wide-eyed, and then turned his head to look at me.

I just scratched the corner of my lips at him.

Of course I knew, what he saw.

Hongyan Building.

It was a pavilion that had been standing in Nishikawa for an unknown amount of time, even before I became sensible. It is said to be a pavilion, but it is actually a mansion, magnificent, like a heavenly palace.

No, it shouldn't be said to be a heavenly palace.

It should be said that it is a battlefield.

The battlefield of red faces.

All of them are not only the red faces of sinking fish and geese, captivating the country and the city, but also the invisible red blood, which will only appear in my dreams.

Feeling my palm getting colder and colder, Pei Yuanxiu subconsciously grabbed my hand, and retracted his gaze from looking ahead, but looked at me with a strange look, but he didn't say anything, only stretched out his hand and helped me get out of the carriage.

As soon as I stood still, I also looked up and looked ahead.

But at this moment, I was stunned.

In front of me, it is not a Hongyan Building, but a tower.

The tower is not too high, only four floors, can occupy an extremely wide area, there are 100 steps away from the left and right, under the tower seat is a snow-white marble platform, it is nearly twice as open than the first layer of the tower, the stone barrier on three sides is carved extremely finely, the side in front of the tower body is a layer of steps, wide and clean.

And what I saw at a glance was that on the third floor of the tower, a huge plaque was hung, with three big characters written on it.

Sister to the Tower.

The moment I saw those three words, my breath froze.

I finally understood why Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment when he got out of the car and saw this just now, and his eyes would be strange when he looked at me.

Here, it was supposed to be the location of Hongyan Tower, it seems that after I left Xichuan, someone eradicated Hongyan Tower and built this tower on this empty land.

However, it was named Sister Gui Tower.

"Sister...... Return to ......"

I subconsciously recited these two words, and their deep meaning, self-evident, also made a chill swell in my heart.

However, my hand has been held by a large warm hand, and it is also the body temperature from the palm that resists the cold in my heart.

When I turned my head, I saw his gentle eyes and nodded firmly at me.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and two people walked out of the tower.

It was a man and a woman, both of whom were in their forties. The man was wearing a celestial-blue beaded brocade robe, with three huge pearls on his belt, and an emerald ring on his finger, he was slightly fat and tall, and he was still some distance away from us, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I vaguely felt that this person looked like Uncle Ai.

And the woman who came with him just watched from afar, and I already knew who it was.

"Miss!"

Before I got closer, I heard her crying voice, and I subconsciously stepped forward: "Aunt Hong." ”

In the general big family, after the young lady and son are born, there will be a nurse, and a group of maids and maids are around, and the people of the Yan family are of course no exception.

But I'm really an exception.

After I was born, my family had already invited a nurse for me, who was the red aunt in front of me. However, my mother decided to feed me herself, but Aunt Hong did not lose her job because of this, but took care of me with my mother, and spent almost half of the time in her arms from the time I was croaking to the time when I was four or five years old.

I vaguely remember that she was very beautiful when she was young, or at least beautiful, and her skin was very white, smooth like tofu, and her eyes were always crooked like peas, especially when she smiled.

Compared with my loving father and strict mother's parents, she and Uncle Ai were doting on me at the beginning, even if I wanted the stars in the sky, they forced the little ones to climb up to the roof with a ladder, and shouted on the roof for a long time until I broke into tears and laughed.

And all these years have passed, and she is also old.

The originally slender figure was slightly fat, and the skin was still white, but it couldn't hide the faint wrinkles, engraved with the traces of time. Her eyes were still crooked, but tears welled up.

"Miss, Miss!"

Aunt Hong had already rushed up to me and took me into her arms, and the tip of my nose smelled the familiar fragrance coming from her, and her mournful cry rang out. I almost couldn't help but burst out of my eyes, and I tried my best to endure it, but my voice was already hoarse: "Aunt Hong......"

As soon as she heard my voice, she cried even harder.

There was a warm wetness on the neck, it was her tears **** my clothes, Pei Yuanxiu, who was standing next to him, didn't know what to say for a while, he just looked at it, but the man who came over with Aunt Hong stepped forward and patted Aunt Hong's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Hong, don't cry yet." I've seen the eldest lady first. ”

Aunt Hong listened, crying a lot quieter, but she still hugged me and whimpered for a while, before she slowly stopped, and finally separated from me a little, her eyes were already swollen, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes: "Miss, I finally see you, Miss." ”

"Aunt Hong, it's light and unfilial, I haven't come to see you for so many years."

"No...... No! ”

She grabbed my thin shoulders and shook her head desperately, mourning with unspeakable pain.

I knew that going on would only make her more sad, so I gently took her hand and patted it, Aunt Hong was still choked and speechless, and I turned my head to look at the man next to me.

This person is not a stranger, but he is not very familiar, but his appearance and demeanor give me a sense of familiarity with Uncle Ai.

"You-"

"Miss." The man looked at me, and he already bowed down with a solemn face, shaking his clothes: "Li Guo to meet the eldest lady." ”

"Li Guo?"

I heard the name a little familiar, but I don't remember where I heard it, and Aunt Hong was grabbing my hand and whimpering at this time, but Su Su, who had been following us from a distance, walked behind me at this time and said to me, "Miss, he is my cousin." ”

I suddenly realized that this person was Uncle Ai's nephew, no wonder he looked so much like Uncle Ai.

Su Su said softly again: "After Grandpa became a monk, he became a big housekeeper. ”

“……？！”

It turned out to be him.

I've heard his name before, and I've heard that Uncle Ai's sister eloped with someone, and a few years later she came back with a child, and after handing over the child to Uncle Ai, she jumped into the river by herself, and the child followed Uncle Ai. Uncle Ai named him Li Guo, but because his birth was not good, Uncle Ai himself was a person who loved face, so he rarely let him come out to meet people, and the whole family almost forgot about this child.

It's just that I didn't expect that after Uncle Ai left, he became a big housekeeper.

The Yan family's housekeeper is not an ordinary housekeeper, his identity and status are destined to be an ordinary person, this Li Guo was born like that, but he can sit in this position, which shows that he is a powerful person.

Thinking of this, I couldn't snub him, so I said, "Steward Li, you get up." ”

Li Guo knelt on the ground again and knelt down in front of me, and then he barely stood up. At this time, Aunt Hong finally stopped her grief, let go of my hand and wanted to bow down to me, I hurriedly grabbed her, but I couldn't catch it anymore, she knelt at my feet with a puff: "Meet the eldest lady." ”

"Aunt Hong, hurry up!"

She had gained weight, and it took me some effort to get her up. Seeing that her eyes were red again, and she was almost about to cry again, I patted her hand comfortingly, and then turned my head to look at Li Guo: "Where is Yan Qingchen?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I only felt that the wind around me was cool.
