General Gan was busy in Beijing for several days, and then he had time to go to the Ronglai Marquis Mansion.

His sedan chair was settled in front of the door, Wang Yanshu was sending people out, and when he saw the old general coming out of the sedan chair, he hurriedly ran forward to greet him and bowed to him: "Old general." ”

General Gan stood still in front of him and bowed deeply to him: "Mr. Yanshu." ”

"General, please."

Sitting down to serve tea, General Gan smiled slightly and said: "The Hou Mansion is everywhere, you have put a lot of thought into it over the years. ”

"That's what Linfeng should do."

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same as your first acquaintance, and you haven't changed at all." General Gan said, "Yun Zhao, you taught her very well. ”

Wang Yanshu was a little proud, but still humble: "The girl is a smart and hardworking child, with General Zhao Rufeng and Wang Taifu around to teach, I am just doing my best." ”

Looking at his warm and peaceful face, General Gan smiled lightly: "But Yun Zhao's temperament is not like you." ”

Wang Yanshu Wan'er, he doesn't want Yun Zhao to be like him, he is a gentleman, restrained and humble. He hopes that Yun Zhao can always be the sun he wants, bright and ignorant.

"How's the girl?"

"She's all right."

In this way, he was relieved. Although Yun Zhao wrote a few letters back home, how could a few words make him worry.

General Gan said to him: "The battle of Caiqiu, the old man told Yun Zhao. ”

Wang Yanshu was slightly stunned, Yun Zhao never mentioned it in his family letter.

Seeing off General Gan, Wang Yanshu paced in the courtyard, sighed, and found the fifth child.

"I'll go to Yuyang, and I'll leave the affairs of the house to you for the time being. I've checked the account books, but there are still two Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city who haven't gone to inspect, so you can go for a trip. ”

The fifth child should go down, and Wang Yanshu left a small branch to help. Early the next morning, he set out from the South Gate by himself. Handan to Yuyang, a thousand-mile road through mountains and rivers, for a scholar like Mr. Yu, it can be described as difficult and dangerous. But he didn't feel bitter, but the farther he went, the more a strange power arose, pulling his heart and showing vigorous vitality.

Knowing Cai Qiu's past on that day, Yun Zhao's heart was not really settled until he saw Mr.

She temporarily lived in a courtyard in Zhoucheng, and the little maid in front of her came to report a person from the capital, named Wang Yanshu.

At that time, she was taking care of military affairs, and when she heard this, she immediately put down her pen and hurriedly ran out.

Wang Yanshu stood in the courtyard, dressed in a green cloth shirt and carrying a small burden. When he saw Yun Zhao, he smiled slightly, dispelling the gloom in her heart like the warm sun of March.

"Close the door!"

Yun Zhao ran towards him, shouting loudly, the courtyard door was closed, and only the two of them were left in the quiet courtyard.

She threw herself into his arms, coquettish as she had been when she was a child: "Sir, I miss you so much. ”

Day and night, pondering thoughts.

"Zhao'er has lost weight."

His plain voice attracted Yun Zhao's tears. All her hardships and grievances have found a haven at this moment.

Yun Zhao took him to the front hall to rest and drank two cups of tea. Wang Yanshu looked at her and smiled: "If you have anything to say, Zhao'er will say it directly." ”

Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment, and he smiled more and more gently: "You never like to drink tea, but today you drink water like a cow." What are you trying to plug? ”

Sure enough, there is no one in this world who knows Yun Zhao better than Mr. She has been pondering repeatedly for the past six months, but she didn't dare to mention it in her family letter, and when she returned to Beijing one day, she wanted to ask him in person.

But before she could go back, he came.

"Sir, the Hou Mansion was not entrusted by Master Zhou back then, was he?"

He smiled and didn't rush to answer her.

"Cai Qiu fought and his father died tragically. Entrusting me to you on your deathbed, isn't it? ”

"Yes." His tone was very flat, but the gaze he looked at was gentle.

Wang Yanshu looked at her carefully and said, "Back then, General Gan came to the door with a letter from your father, and I knew that the first battle of Caiqiu was so tragic. Your father died a tragic death, and there were many casualties in the army. The troops who returned to the DPRK were also transferred from other places. At that time, Da Chu Tai needed such a victory, and your father did it without hesitation. ”

"He told me the truth in his letter, and he couldn't help you. He said that if I wished, I could come into the house and take care of you, and I hoped to see you well. If I don't want to, I just want to go to Beijing every year to report on my work and visit you for him. ”

The facts he told made Yun Zhao tremble and his eyes reddened.

Wang Yanshu said: "Rong Laihou has the grace to save my life and the feeling of support. Even if I have nothing, with his character and loyalty, I am willing to be entrusted by him. ”

"Why have you never told me all these years?"

Wang Yanshu got up and walked in front of her, squatted down to look up at her, and raised his hand to wipe away her tears.

"Don't cry." He sighed, "You were too young at that time, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to keep this secret." I thought I'd tell you the truth when you passed the ceremony. I didn't expect this to happen. ”

"I misunderstood him for many years." Yun Zhao couldn't hold back her trembling and crying, and she shrugged her shoulders with a twitch. Wang Yanshu stood up, took her into his arms with pity, and gently stroked her head.

"He won't blame you. Your father has always loved you. The same goes for your mother. Your name was given by your mother. May you be as bright as the sun. It's a pity that they can stay with you for too short. ”

Yun Zhao cried in his arms.

She hated and resented her, and her parents gave birth to her, but they didn't love her or raise her. She endured the slander and coldness, and silently wrapped herself up, not daring to relax for a day.

A little crazy thought in my heart is just an ethereal thing that passes with life. She didn't put her hopes in anyone, and she never opened her heart to anyone.

It turned out that she really cared so much about her father's love, far more than she imagined.

After a long time, she calmed down, still hugged his waist, and asked in a muffled voice, "Will the gentleman also leave me?" ”

"No, it won't." His firm and gentle reply soothed her unwillingness and timidity.

Because of the arrival of Mr., the sky of Yuyang has become pleasant. The moon is bright, the sky is full of cirrostratus clouds, the green mountains are only hazy shadows, and even the sky is a heavy inky blue.

Yun Zhao climbed onto the roof and looked up at the moonlight. Since leaving the capital, a lot has happened. About the battlefield, about the country, about the father.

In the days when she first arrived at Yuyang Pass, she often had nightmares, in which there were bloody corpses, raging fires, and a pair of beautiful people who were together, they looked very affectionate, but their eyes were so cold when they turned to look at her.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have died." The lady said to her.

And his husband just glanced at him coldly, and then gradually walked away from his wife.

This is a dream that Yun Zhao has often had since he was a child, but when he arrived at Yuyang Pass, this dream was even more terrifying, stained with the call sign and blood of the battlefield.

Yun Zhao always wakes up from his dreams and then sleepless all night.

"What do you think?" The boy's voice interrupted her thoughts. Gan Qing climbed onto the roof and sat down beside her.

Yun Zhao glanced at him, he carried two jugs of wine in his hands, and smiled brightly.

"When the moon is in the sky, how pleasant it is to drink some wine!"

As he spoke, he threw a jar of wine into her arms, opened the other jar and took a sip of it.

"What are you doing up here?" Yun Zhao was a little at a loss holding the wine jar.

He glanced at it, and instead of answering, he asked, "Then what are you doing when you come up?" ”

Yun Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, rolled his eyes, and threw the jar of wine back to him.

Gan Qing carefully caught it and held it in his arms: "Alas? If you don't drink from me, don't break my good wine. ”

"Boring!"

Gan Qing sneered: "You look like an old Taoist all day long, and you still say I'm boring? ”

Yun Zhao glared at him, but he smiled indifferently: "Look at you, you are clearly a delicate girl, why do you have to be so dogmatic and rigid." ”

The corners of Yun Zhao's mouth twitched, but he was a lot of crooked.

He could probably see that Yun Zhao wanted to whip him, moved his ass away from her, and still said with a beating: "What are the days when you were a marquis, and this is not the capital, why bother to frame it now?" ”

Yun Zhao lost his mind for a moment.

Gan Qing poured a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said: "It's all poetry and wine in the capital, talented and beautiful, boat songs and paintings, why are you so boring?" ”

Yun Zhao glanced at him: "The prodigal son." She got up and was about to leave, but Gan Qing grabbed the corner of her clothes, and a cloud fell down at her feet.

Gan Qing jumped up from the roof and took her into his arms.

Yun Zhao was able to stabilize his body, and he heard an angry shout from below: "What are you doing? ”

Turning his head, he saw Wang Yanshu standing in the courtyard, his previously calm face was now iron-blue, and his eyebrows were angry. Yun Zhao hurriedly pushed Gan Qing away and got off the roof.

She ran up to him quickly, bowed her head and explained, "Sir, I just want to... Look at the moon. ”

Wang Yanshu didn't expose her lame lies, and took two deep breaths and asked, "Who is he?" ”

She glanced back, and Gan Qing was standing on the roof, smiling widely, as dazzling as moonlight.

"He's General Gan's nephew, and we just happen to... Found the same roof to watch the moon... I just didn't stand on his feet..."

"Yun Zhao, you are a girl, you must pay attention to your reputation." It was the first time he had spoken so violently. Yun Zhao lowered his head a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute: "Yun Zhao knows." ”

Wang Yanshu took two deep breaths, calmed Fang Cai's anger, and said softly: "It's late at night, go back and rest." ”

"I'll send my husband back first."

When he arrived at the door of the room, Wang Yanshu only said "rest early" and was about to enter the door, Yun Zhao raised his hand and pinched his sleeve, still lowering his head and not daring to look at him, and snorted: "Don't be angry, sir." ”

He reflexively touched her head and sighed, "I'm not angry. It's just that you've grown up, even if you're pretending to be a man, you have to remember to be measured and keep your distance from foreign men. ”

"What about the gentleman?" Yun Zhao raised his head and blurted out, Wang Yanshu looked at her bright eyes and was stunned.

Yun Zhao's mind went blank, what was she talking about......?

"Yun Zhao knows, Mr. rest early."

She hurriedly admitted it and ran away without looking back.

Yun Zhao's heart was like a drum, his cheeks were hot, and he couldn't stay in front of Mr. for more than a moment. She rushed back to her room, and stayed awake all night.

Since the next morning, Yun Zhao has been far away from Ganqing.

Gan Qing saw that she avoided him like a mouse and a cat, and she didn't understand what she meant, but she stopped for a few days.

Wang Yanshu only stayed for ten days before returning to Beijing.

Yun Zhao was reluctant: "Sir, don't you stay a few more days?" ”

Wang Yanshu sighed, and was reluctant to part with her: "There are still a lot of things to take care of in the house, and the fifth child is not good at dealing with people." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and hugged him again. The Hou Mansion has been dealing with people over the years, the New Year's ceremony, and the Yun family's industry, all of which are taken care of by Mr., he is very hard, Yun Zhao knows.

Since that day of farewell to Mr., Yun Zhao's life has returned to peace. There was only one place, restless, her heart.

Every night in the dead of night, the thoughts in her heart are like surging rivers in summer, rushing down from the mountains, taking away all her thoughts, leaving only the thoughts that make people blush and beat their hearts.
