In the days leading up to Chinese New Year's Eve, the snow fell heavily in the upper capital, and it seemed to be even colder than the end of winter in previous years.

Si Xuan was not recuperating properly, and he was infected with the wind and cold because he went to the street to buy things, and he had been lying on the bed for two days.

After the queen mother sent the imperial doctor to see her twice, Si Xuan's physical condition slowly improved.

And on this day, there was still heavy snow outside, and Mama Qin was worried that Si Xuan would freeze again, so she specially lit the fireplace in the room.

The room was warm, and the slightest cold snap couldn't leak in, so Si Xuan couldn't go out, so he had to lean on the windowsill and read a book while sitting on the couch in a sleepy state.

When the government reported that Jiang Huaiyue had visited, Si Xuan was still a little surprised.

When the others came in, Si Xuan saw Jiang Huaiyue and asked someone to come over with a piano.

Si Xuan looked at the piano on the table, somewhat stunned, and came back to his senses after a long while, and asked the people below to pour tea for Jiang Huaiyue before retreating.

Jiang Huaiyue was not polite to her, sat down and drank a sip or two of tea, and looked at Si Xuan's complexion by the way, "I heard that the little county lord is sick, but are you okay?" ”

Si Xuan: "It's much better. ”

Jiang Huaiyue saw that her eyes were still on the qin, so she didn't play dumb with her, took off the cloth cover on the qin, and told her: "Your brother looked for me to customize it a few years ago, and he has been letting me go for a while, and I don't know when he will return to Shangdu, so let's take it over and put it here for you first." ”

Si Xuan stared intently at the lifelike scorching peach engraved on the jade qin, and couldn't help but stretch out his little hand and touch it.

After a long while, Si Xuan asked softly, "When did he ask you to customize it?" ”

Jiang Huaiyue thought about it for a moment, "It was probably not long after he gave me Lang'er's medicine." ”

Si Xuan plucked the strings with his fingers, thinking of something that didn't make sense.

Jiang Huaiyue looked at Si Xuan's careless distraction, thought about it, and still couldn't help but say to her: "Actually, Wen Yunjin is a madman, he has actually converged a lot in the past two years. ”

Si Xuan tightened his fingertips slightly, raised his head, and looked at her.

Jiang Huaiyue shrugged her shoulders and continued, "When I first came to Shangdu to look for him, I felt that he was sicker than me. ”

Jiang Huaiyue turned the teacup in her hand aside, put it back on the edge of the table, glanced at the jade qin next to her, smiled lightly and said, "Si Xuan, can you imagine it?" A living person pretends to be a human during the day, but in the middle of the night he bleeds himself, because bleeding makes him feel the pleasure of being alive. ”

Si Xuan's eyes moved slowly, "Why do you know?" ”

"Because I've seen your brother's side."

Jiang Huaiyue looked directly at her and said, "For a long, long time, he has been like this. I once jokingly asked him, life is so boring and painful, why don't you die, do you know how he answered? ”

"He told me very seriously at the time, not yet."

Si Xuan didn't know if it was because Jiang Huaiyue came in, there would be a cold wind pouring in, she felt a little itchy in her throat, and couldn't help but turn her head and cough lightly one or two times.

I wanted to drink saliva to moisten my throat, but I was choked again, and my eyes were a little chaotic and blurry, as if I was covered by a thin layer of mist.

"However, when you come back, he seems to have become normal again."

"I don't know if it's really normal, but at least it looks quite normal."

Jiang Huaiyue came over this day and said some very inexplicable and wonderful things to Si Xuan, and before leaving, she seemed to hesitate by the door, and couldn't help but turn around and ask her, "County Lord, I heard that you followed your brother to the martial arts field when you were a child?" ”

Si Xuan was stunned for a moment, and slowly nodded: "I have practiced with him for a while." ”

Jiang Huaiyue wanted to speak for a long time, but in the end she didn't ask again, turned around and left.

Si Xuan was still sitting on the windowsill in a daze.

She chewed on the last question Jiang Huaiyue asked her repeatedly, and suddenly remembered something a long time ago-

Before my brother was admitted to Taixue, he seemed to have been to the military department of Shangdu.

Since then, my brother has not been to the martial arts field again, nor has he mentioned the sword again.
