The mourning hall was originally a cold and cold place, and the snow white as far as the eye could see made it look like an ice cave, and the wind blowing through seemed to bring the chill of ice and snow, which made me shiver.

Pei Yuanxiu immediately felt it and looked down at me.

"Young Baby?"

“……”

I didn't speak, just watched Yan Qinghan walk to the center of the mourning hall, and also raised his head to look at me.

His white clothes, pale face and lips, and his fingers tightly wrapped in bandages, seemed to have been conjured from the ice cave-like mourning hall.

Behind him, a group of people also dressed in white walked out, holding the ashes, raising and mourning, and slowly walked out amid the low chanting of Buddhist scriptures around them.

He nodded lightly as he walked past me.

For some reason, I lost my reaction for a while, and only watched this group of white-clothed people quietly walk in front of me, and then, Yan Qingchen and the others in the mourning hall also walked out.

When he got out of the gate, he could see that under the long staircase, there was already a carriage, followed by a group of men and horses waiting for him. The exterior of the carriage was wrapped in white cloth, and tall white flags were erected on both sides, and all the bridled saddles were white, and from a distance the whole caravan was snow-white, with a cold silence.

We kept seeing him off, and Yan Qinghan walked to the carriage and stopped.

He turned his head and glanced at the towering house, the inner house of the Yan family, which he had not entered, cast a thick shadow under the sunlight, obscuring the light in his eyes.

I walked forward slowly: "Ah Qi." ”

He looked back at me.

"After you send the second uncle's spiritual position to Xishan, what are your plans?"

"And, of course, a vigil."

"And after that?"

He smiled: "It's up to God to arrange me." ”

"......" I let out a long breath and said, "I won't stay in Chengdu for too long, and after the matter here is over, I will go back to Jinling with my husband and daughter." ”

"So, if I come back, I may not see you again?"

"Perhaps, there will be fewer opportunities for us to meet."

He looked at me with a slight straight face, his eyes flashed, and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on how God arranges it." ”

I also smiled faintly: "You are so resigned to fate? ”

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't answer the sentence.

At this time, in the team behind the carriage, a horse slowly paced forward, turned his head to see that it was Wei Zhengbang, he was also dressed in white, when he walked in front of us, suddenly brought a gust of cold wind.

He saluted Yan Qingchen who was in a wheelchair on the side: "Family master, the time has come." ”

Yan Qingchen nodded, then walked the wheelchair to our side, and said to Yan Qinghan: "Zhengbang will escort you to Xishan, if there is any problem, you can send a message back." ”

Yan Qinghan nodded lightly.

"Then let's go."

Yan Qinghan took one last look at us, turned around and was helped into the carriage.

Wei Zhengbang slowly turned the horse's head, perhaps because his movements were a little too slow, everyone noticed him, and their eyes stayed in the crowd for a moment.

Xue Muhua was unconscious and stood there quietly.

And beside her, Pei Yuanfeng's indifferent gaze did not hesitate at all, and met Wei Zhengbang's eyes.

That, of course, is a silent confrontation.

Wei Zhengbang only glanced at it, didn't say anything, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse under the seat, which was already extremely restless and kept pacing, immediately turned his head, and heard the whip in his hand wave in the air, making a crisp sound, and the horse galloped out like an arrow off the string.

Immediately, the whole team set off with him.

I stood at the foot of the stairs and watched the white in front of me, moving farther and farther down the wide street, and finally slowly, becoming a small dot in the scenery that would disappear one by one.

This matter is finally over.

couldn't help but let out a long breath, and when he turned around, he saw that Yan Qingchen also slowly turned the wheelchair around, his handsome, red-marked eyebrows and a little wrinkle had not yet calmed down, adding a bit of gloom to his handsome face like a crown jade.

My footsteps also subconsciously froze, looking at him.

He slowly raised his head, but he instructed the people around him, "Go and clean up the mourning hall." ”

“……”

"Prepare for Pei Gongzi's marriage."

"Yes."

Under the order of the head of the Yan family, those people naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all hurriedly turned around and walked back, because they were walking too quickly, and even two reckless ones almost bumped into Xue Muhua who was standing on the steps, she silently took two steps back, watching those people hurriedly busy with her marriage.

In the following days, we were a little bored in Chengdu.

Because of the dispute that day, Mrs. Yan seemed to be sick again, not a serious illness, I heard the doctor who came to the clinic said that she had a knot in her chest, and she needed to prescribe some by herself, supplemented by decoction to slowly heal.

Yan Qingchen wasn't so worried, he just asked the maids to deliver soup and medicine on time every day, and prepared some gadgets for his mother in his spare time, but he told me very tactfully that he didn't have to visit the sick.

In short, I was mad at it.

However, in this way, our actions in Chengdu are a little more relaxed.

That night, I first put Li'er to sleep on the side of the cot, gently took off her two hands on her chest and put them into the quilt, folded the quilt for her, and turned around and walked to our bedroom, Pei Yuanxiu sat on the edge of the bed, read by candlelight, looked up at me, and said with a smile: "Why has she been sleeping so unsteadily recently?" Do you want to coax you every day? ”

"Lost your teeth, willful."

I smiled, took off the coat I was draping over my shoulders and hung it on the wooden shelf next to the bed, looking down at him: "What are you reading?" ”

He closed the book and showed it to me.

"The Aftermath of Cutting the Lantern?" I looked at him with a smile: "You still look at this?" ”

"Where I want to see. There's nothing to do lately, so I asked them to go to the street and buy me some notebooks to come back and see, which is also to relieve their boredom, and who knows that they will buy some of these and come back. ”

I flipped through the unopened books he piled up at the bedside, such as "Three Words" and "Double Beauty", and even turned to the bottom of the book "Ben and Hairpin", and suddenly laughed dumbly.

What, even this one?

Actually, I don't blame his attendants, these people were born in the army, almost none of them have ever studied, and they don't know a single character in Douda, so they asked them to buy a script, probably because they bought it when they looked at the colorful and beautiful ones on the paper, but they didn't know how those attendants told the boss that they had taken out the bottom of the box.

Fortunately, Pei Yuanxiu didn't pay attention to my side, but got up and went to undress and belt, and asked without looking back: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"No, nothing."

I quietly pulled out the book and threw it into the corner, and when I looked back, he had already taken off his coat and was wearing only a thin civilian dress, looking particularly casual and chic, and came over and put his arm around my shoulders: "Sleep, right?" ”

"Hmm."

I nodded, lay down on the bed, and when he also lay down beside me, I asked softly, "You received a letter today?" ”

"Well, you see it."

"Who sent it?"

"Ruoshi."

"What did she say?"

"I said something about Jiangnan, and she said that Yao Lao had already set off."

"Haha, I'm afraid Yao Lao is about to arrive now."

"There's no way, the two places are blocked, and the letter comes slowly."

"So, what happened to Jiangnan?"

He turned his head to look at me, with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes: "Are you going to start housekeeping?" ”

I also laughed: "Can't you?" ”

"Absolutely." He laughed twice, and the hand holding me pressed me closer to his arms, and then said, "There is nothing special, except that there are more ships on the river recently, as if the port is ready to open again." ”

"Oh."

I was held in his arms, blinked and looked at his silent eyes, thought for a while, and said, "When Yuanfeng's wedding is over, let's go back." ”

He looked down at me, his long breath blowing on my face with his body heat, and there was some imperceptible itching sensation that made me shrink slightly. He smiled and said, "Of course, Li'er has been found, and your second uncle's funeral has been completed, and when his wedding is over, there is no need for us to stay." ”

I smiled and nodded.

"But—"

"But what?"

"Yuanfeng's wedding gift, have you thought about what to give?"

“……”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says it, I'm stunned.

That's right, wedding gifts.

I've forgotten about it because I've been worrying about it so much these days.

Seeing me stunned and in a daze, Pei Yuanxiu laughed and said, "I think you just forgot." ”

I laughed embarrassedly.

"Look at you like this, you're still a housekeeper."

My face turned a little redder, and I said in a low voice after a while: "Then you say, what should we send?" ”

He thought for a while, and was also a little worried, and said: "I really didn't expect to encounter so many things when I came over this time, and I didn't know that he would get married so soon, and I didn't prepare anything." ”

“……”

"Otherwise—we're going to walk around town tomorrow and see if there's anything good?"

I thought about it for a moment and nodded: "That's all there is to it." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but yawn and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep quickly, we will go out early tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

As he spoke, he turned to blow out the candle at the bedside.

But just as he turned his head to his arms, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and immediately, the whirring wind blew outside the window.

A voice suddenly sounded in the silence of the night—

"Who is it?!"
