There is a remote courtyard on the outskirts of Puzhou, even if you ride a horse, it will take more than two hours, and in the evening, a carriage slowly stopped near the courtyard.

Cui Yingying slowly got out of the car with Xiao Rong's support, and what made Xiao Rong feel a little strange was that there was also a child at the door of the small courtyard.

Cui Yingying got out of the carriage and saluted the child, and changed the word "April", and the child smiled and hurriedly said, "When I heard your news, we came over." ”

There are only two dilapidated tiled houses in the courtyard, there are no flowers and plants in the yard, only two native chickens scattered on the ground are pacing back and forth, and a girl in a red and green flower jacket is lying on the ground to cut insects, and from time to time throw two small insects to the native chickens.

Cui Yingying said to Xiao Rong: "I also wronged you, in fact, you don't have to come with me." ”

Xiao Rong hurriedly shook his head and said: "Madam, Xiao Rong has come to the Wang family since he was a child, and he has never met a caring person, if it weren't for his wife's support, Xiao Rong's life would not have been miserable." Xiao Rong is willing to follow his wife for the rest of his life. ”

Cui Yingying saw Xiao Rong's farewell and had to say: "You girl, okay, you go to the town to buy some living things, it looks like we are going to live here for a while." ”

It wasn't until Cui Yingying, who saw Xiao Rong leave, that she slowly entered the house, and April took out two fruits in her arms that she didn't know where to pick them and stuffed them into Cui Yingying's hands.

Cui Yingying looked at the fruit in her hand, and just wanted to pick it up and taste it, but after thinking for a moment, she put it down and said, "Thank you April, it's just that I'm not hungry yet." ”

Sima Yue, who was wearing a flower jacket, got up and said, "Is it worth it?" Seeing people marrying newcomers, watching people feast guests, I can only hide here. ”

Cui Yingying nodded, took out the string of Buddhist beads from her arms and said, "The life of the red bean was originally given by him. ”

Sima Yue reminded: "I kindly remind you that no matter what you ask me to do, consider the price. ”

"That's natural, if you don't think about the consequences, you won't bother Miss Sima." Cui Yingying continued.

"I also promised Huihai that I would do it for him once." Sima Yue took a bite of the fruit and said.

The three of them didn't say anything, but Sima Yue's face was still distorted, and he said for a while: "April, where did you pick this fruit, why is it so sour." ”

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the sun, and the two dead willow trees at the door swayed in the wind, like a scene of slaughter.

A team of more than a dozen people appeared around the ruined courtyard, with yellow belts around their waists to reflect their origins from the palace.

Since that night, the Puzhou area has been crazy about the goblins in the suburbs, it is a big cyan bird, three or four zhang high, and it eats a few people in a radius of several miles, but the poor young master of the Wang family who has just returned home after taking the fame has not even seen the last face of his beloved.

Time flickered for half a year.

In the palace of King Maha, the king of Taile in the capital.

The housekeeper asked his master if he had prepared some burning paper ingots or something during the Qingming Festival according to the rules, and he was stunned for two rounds but did not find his master.

"Could it be that the old man got up early and entered the palace?" Lao Sun kept muttering in his heart.

Lao Sun, who suddenly thought of something, hurriedly walked towards the back garden.

Sure enough, Wang Majie, with a haggard face, stood motionless in the back garden, and in front of him was a withered acacia tree.

Every time he saw this acacia tree, Lao Sun kept shaking his head, there was nothing in the back garden of Nuoda, how could there be a little bit of the mind of a literati. The Zhao Mansion next door is just a seven-rank military attaché, and the backyard is full of exotic flowers and plants moved from all over the country, but his own master is a six-grade Beijing official, and there is only one dead acacia bean in the backyard, which is really unreasonable.

Lao Sun also mentioned it, but every time he said this kind of thing, Wang Majie always showed a remorseful expression, and always said to himself: "Obviously it is very good to grow at home, why did it suddenly die when it arrived in the capital." ”

"Master, do you need to prepare something in the house during the Qingming Festival?" Lao Sun hesitated for a long time and then spoke.

"Prepare a little osmanthus cake, I plan to go back to my hometown in Puzhou to worship." Wang Mahajie said: "You can remove these cakes and fruits." ”

It was only at this time that the housekeeper Lao Sun knew that Wang Majie did not have a good rest last night at all, but

After a sleepless night, the wine and pastries that were warm last night are now untouched on the table.

"Master, it's been a few days, it's not a way for you to eat or drink like this, you look at your body, you see that you have lost a lot of weight, last night the palace sent a lot of supplements and told you to make up for your body, I heard that means Princess Yuzhen wants to see you." Lao Sun bowed his head and said.

"I know, when we come back from our hometown in Puzhou, I will go to pay a visit, you go and prepare things." Wang Majie waved his hand and motioned for Lao Sun to leave.

What Lao Sun didn't know was that Wang Majie didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't sleep.

Since that day Wang Majie arrived home but found that Cui Yingying was missing, he hurriedly went out to look for it, and finally found the groom who drove the car after many inquiries, and when he arrived at the hut on the outskirts of Puzhou, he found that the hut had already burned a raging fire, and he saw the big cyan bird with his own eyes.

There are always millions of beautiful women, but there is no Cui Yingying by her side.

In desperation, Wang Majie, who returned to the capital, began to dream every day, and could always dream of the shouting sound of that night and the crying voice of Cui Yingying.

At such a close distance, Wang Majie could even feel Cui Yingying's face burned to deformation in the flames.

Every nightmare would make this personable genius wail, his heart was like a war drum, and he had to drink two pots of spirits to fall asleep in a cold sweat.

The princess who learned of this also sent a lot of palace doctors to come for treatment, but found that there was no particularly good way, and she could only drink some herbs to help her sleep every night, but unfortunately it had little effect.

Wang Majie always laughs at himself, this is God's betrayal of his love.

During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

Wang Majie, who got up and pushed the door to leave, finally made up his mind to go out for a walk, the merchant carrying the burden, the woman carrying the basket, the child holding the windmill, everyone had a sweet smile on their faces.

"Mother, this bean is so beautiful, what is this?"

"Silly boy, this is called red beans."

"Mother, I want to eat red beans."

The noisy sound not far away attracted Wang Majie, who walked briskly and saw a girl in front of a girl visiting a basket of red beans at the corner of the alley.

After the mother and son left, Wang Majie quickly stepped forward and asked, "Girl, how do you sell these red beans?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "Guest officer, red beans are not sold, and acacia beans are not exchanged." ”
