Chapter Ninety-Three: The Garden of Hearts

After a while, Yun Shu came back and said that there was no one in the garden.

The eldest grandson Wuji instructed Yun Shu, "You go to the front two gates to guard."

Yun Shu promised to go to the second gate.

The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin and Guanyin:

"Now there is no one else in the garden, only Yun Shu and Huang Yu in the entire backyard, you can go with confidence."

Li Shimin got down from the couch, waved his hand at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said gratefully, "Fourth Brother Xie is complete."

------

Li Shimin and Guanyin went out of the back door of the front hall and passed the east wing along the verandah.

There is a passage between the east wing and the east transept.

Turn right, against the east gable of the east transept, there is a road to the north that leads directly to the small gate of the garden.

The gate is unlocked, and when you open it, you enter the garden.

The size of the garden is about the same size as the Mansion of the Eldest Sun General, except that there is no lake in the middle.

There is also a tall hall at the back of the garden, and in front of the hall is a rockery.

There is a courtyard on both sides of the rockery, and there is a flower pavilion in front of the east courtyard, which is somewhat similar to the fairy rain pavilion of the Changsun General's Mansion.

In the middle of the garden, a loop is paved with pebbles, and along this loop, you can just turn around the garden.

The courtyard and flower pavilion are nestled among bamboo trees.

------

The garden was silent, without the slightest human voice.

It is about to enter October, the frost has passed, and winter is about to begin.

The willows have turned yellow, and most of the leaves of the tall trees have fallen, only the bamboo forest is still green.

The whole garden is a little bleak.

The two walked side by side, gently telling their thoughts about parting as they walked.

Occasionally, stepping on the dead leaves on the ground makes a salsa sound.

------

It was only at this time that Guanyin asked again about the purpose of Li Shimin's trip.

Li Shimin smiled intriguingly,

"One is to see you, and the other is to come to report the good news."

Guanyin smiled sweetly, "I knew that Brother Shimin should miss me."

Then he asked, "What is the good news?"

Li Shimin stopped, turned to look at Guanyin,

"I'm here to tell you that I'm going to marry you after the New Year."

------.

Because before the separation, the relationship between the two was too close, and the relationship was like brother and sister.

Talking to each other is very casual, and there is no division between men and women.

Maybe Guanyin is still young and doesn't understand what marriage really means.

When Li Shimin said that he wanted to marry her, she did not have the slightest shyness.

Instead, he giggled, "I'm still young, so I won't marry you so early."

------

She suddenly remembered the previous horseback riding and asked:

"If I marry you, will I become my sister-in-law?"

Even though Li Shimin is talented and smart, he doesn't know how to answer her tricky question.

Li Shimin smiled: "As long as you marry me, you can be your sister-in-law if you want."

Guanyin smiled mischievously,

"As I said before, if you don't teach me how to ride a horse, I won't let you marry my sister-in-law."

"Now thanks to me learning to ride a horse, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to marry your sister-in-law, and you wouldn't be able to marry me."

Looking at Guanyin's mischievous smile, Li Shimin vaguely saw her previous shadow again.

------

Li Shimin saw that she was blindly messing with herself, so he asked her seriously,

"Don't you really want to marry me now?"

"After marrying me, we can be together every day."

In fact, whether to marry or not, before this, Guanyin really didn't think seriously about this issue.

I heard that after getting married, the two could be together every day, which tickled her mind.

Guanyin got serious and asked Li Shimin,

"Brother Shimin is telling the truth, we really want to get married next year?"

------

Li Shimin saw that Guanyin was a little moved, but he was no longer in a hurry to say it.

He deliberately teased Guanyin,

"Grandpa and Grandma want us to get married in February next year, let me ask you if you are willing."

"If you feel young, we can put it back a few more years."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and walked slowly along the path.

Guanyin followed beside her, looking up at Li Shimin,

He whispered, "When will that be?"

Li Shimin said unhurriedly as he walked:

"In the spring of next year, Grandpa and Auntie will go to Liaodong with the emperor."

"If we don't get married next February, we'll wait until they return victorious."

------

Guanyin asked Li Shimin with concern,

"Uncle and aunt, will you be back by the end of next year?"

Li Shimin stopped again and looked at Guanyin,

"Not necessarily, maybe three or five years."

Guanyin was a little stunned, "It's going to take so long?"

Li Shimin explained the reason to Guanyin,

"Today's emperor is making long-term plans for the families of officials to accompany him, and it may be difficult to withdraw his troops if he does not win the battle."

I heard that it would be three or five years to push it, and Guanyin weighed it in her heart and said, "Then next year."

Li Shimin said happily, "You agreed?"

Guanyin let out a "hmm" and nodded heavily.

------

Guanyin is still young, and her love has not yet opened.

There is no urgent expectation of getting married.

It's just that I heard that only after getting married can the people and brothers be together every day, so I was in a hurry to get married.

Whether it is a boy or a girl, as they get older, there is only affection between them and their parents and brothers.

Even if you are separated for a while, there will not be too much longing and attachment.

Only between lovers will, the soul is haunted by dreams, and the heart is connected every day.

------

Couples in love, if they are suddenly separated, will be restless all day long, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

There is a feeling of not seeing each other for a day.

The word "looking through the autumn water" is a true portrayal of the longing between lovers.

At present, between Guanyin and Li Shimin, it is only a brother and sister relationship.

But the difference is that there is an extra layer of hazy love in this brother-sister relationship.

This may be the first love of young boys and girls, a kind of indescribable and unexplained concern and attachment.

This attachment and attachment is holy, regardless of lust, materialism, fame, or status.

------

Li Shimin and Guanyin, walking and stopping, talked softly as they walked.

After a while, he circled the garden along the pebble path and came back to the flower pavilion.

Guanyin said to Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, let's go and sit in the pavilion for a while."

As he spoke, he took Li Shimin's arm and walked towards the flower pavilion.

The two of them faced the direction of the rockery and sat down on the bench of the flower pavilion.

Li Shimin sat on the left, Guanyin took his right arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

------

Growing so big, it was the first time that Guanyin sat on the boy's shoulder and snuggled.

Arm in arm like this, she felt that the hearts of the two were very close.

There is a feeling of warmth and sweetness in my heart that I have never felt before.

Li Shimin spoke softly, and Guanyin was also whispering.

When there is someone to talk to, people are easy to get emotional.

Looking at the gloom in the garden, it seems to arouse the sadness of Guanyin.

------

The successive changes in the family in the past few years, coupled with the fact that she lived in her uncle's house after the separation, Guanyin always felt that she was like a rootless wanderer, and she could never settle down.

This feeling had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, but she could not release it.

Now that she is alone with Li Shimin, Guanyin completely gave up her heart defense and confided her heart to the fullest.

She complained to Li Shimin with some grievances,

"This garden, compared to the one in Chang'an City, has one less lake of pure water. It's not as much as there."

-----

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin's unhappy appearance, thinking that it was a reminder of the past.

The garden in the capital is where she grew up.

There was her childhood, there was her good times.

Now, she can't go back as often as she does.

Even if I go back, it's just a passing passerby.

Guanyin thought of her father, and remembered playing happily in the garden with her nephews and nieces.

------

There is no going back to the past, so I can only bury everything in my memory.

In three years, the young Guanyin has experienced too many changes.

Without her father's love, she felt that her home was no longer a home.

Every time she walked out of the book, there was a sense of drift.

She longed for a protection, as strong and selfless as her father's.

Under this kind of protection, she can be a spoiled child with peace of mind, without having to calculate or fight.

-----

Li Shimin didn't want her to be immersed in sad emotions.

He gently grabbed Guanyin's hand on his arm, wanting to say something happy and bring her back from the unhappy past.

He felt that Guanyin's hand was silky and delicate, but a little cold.

Li Shimin asked Guanyin with concern,

"Auntie, are you feeling cold? Why don't we go back to our room."

Guanyin shook her head, "It's not cold, I just want to sit here by you." Let's sit down a little longer and then go."

After this moment of reliance, she seems to be unable to give up Li Shimin's strong and sturdy shoulders.

-----

Li Shimin was afraid that Guanyin would be sad, so he talked to her about some happy things.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"It was also in that garden that we played a game of chess that we didn't finish."

Li Shimin's words evoked the good memories of Guanyin.

Her eyes suddenly brightened again, and she raised her head to look at Li Shimin,

"I reviewed that game a while ago, and I played the one hundred and one hand."

"I'm just meditating, but I don't know where you're going to go?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and teased her,

"I'll tell you when we get married, okay?"

------

Guanyin pouted and coquettishly,

"It's not good, I'll play the next move."

"I'm going to pick an unimportant position for you, and then see if you can still win me?"

Li Shimin stretched out his finger and scraped it on Guanyin's nose,

"You're cheating, doesn't that mean I let you have one?"

Guanyin shook Li Shimin's arm, revealing a coquettishness, and shouted softly at Li Shimin,

"You just want you to let me, and you have to let me go forever."

Li Shimin had no choice but to nod again and again, looking obedient,

"Okay, I'll let you do whatever you want from now on."

------

Guanyin smiled sweetly, raised her face, and looked at Li Shimin with affection, her eyes shining with charming brilliance.

Li Shimin asked Guanyin, "Do you like the original garden very much?"

Guanyin leaned on Li Shimin's shoulder, looking into the distance, faintly and quietly,

"It's not all about liking, it's mainly about being born there, growing up there, and having a lot of memories there."

Li Shimin promised Guanyin,

"When the time comes, I'll build you a garden like that, don't you think so?"

"Build another river and connect it to the lake."

Guanyin was silent when she heard this.

But in her heart, she was longing for what that garden would look like.

------

Guanyin tracing in her heart the garden she will build in the future.

Peach blossoms are planted on the lakeside, and weeping willows are planted on the riverside.

When spring comes, the garden is full of pink peaches, the golden willows are hanging down the embankment, the butterflies are dancing in the flowers, and the warblers are crying on the trees.

Supporting a small boat to wander in the water, the two sat idly on the bow of the boat, listening to the piano and drums.

And the pavilion in the garden, built according to this, is called the Hexin Pavilion.

Guanyin thought stupidly, as if she was already in the garden.

Li Shimin shook his hand in front of her eyes and asked curiously,

"I'm talking to you, what are you thinking?"

Guanyin smiled, "I'm just thinking about one thing."

After speaking, he stood up and pulled Li Shimin,

"Let's go, it's time to go back. Otherwise, the fourth brother will make fun of you."
