The boy didn't complain at all, he ate all the leftovers she had eaten, and looked at her helplessly: "If you eat it again, you will be exposed when you go back." ”

So, the girl wiped her mouth in a wry.

Then she seemed to think of something, and asked timidly, "I seem to have spent a lot of money on my brother's birthday." "Even if she had a money bag, as long as there was a place for him, she wouldn't spend a penny.

"It's okay, it's all I saved, and it's all left for you to spend."

The girl smiled shyly, and then nodded heavily, "Then my future silver will also be spent on my birthday!" ”

"No, yours keep it for yourself."

"I don't want it, I'm going to give my brother flowers for my birthday!"

The girl did not cling and screamed, but was soon attracted by something else.

"Look, there are so many lanterns there!"

On the mirror-like blue lake, countless lanterns bloom, like the Milky Way in the sky falling into the water.

The starry lanterns carry the prayers of countless people.

The girl covered her eyes and secretly peeked through her fingers at a man and a woman on the edge of the blue lake.

She leaned into Zhang Qingsheng's ear and whispered, "They are exchanging tokens!" ”

"Don't be blind." Zhang Qingsheng covered the girl's eyes and led her to the river.

"We'll have to go back later, or we'll be discovered."

The girl pouted with a reluctant face, but still obediently agreed: "Okay." ”

She touched her sleeve pocket and pulled out a glass-colored bead.

"Look!" The girl handed it to Zhang Qingsheng with a smile on her face: "This is the bead that my grandfather gave me, and he said that there is a flower in it, which is my name." ”

The transparent beads reflected the color of heaven and earth, and inside was inlaid with a snow-white white peony, as it was her name, white peony.

It was the first time he had seen the transparent beads, and he couldn't help but say with some envy in his eyes: "It's so beautiful, this should be very precious, right?" ”

The girl shook her head, "I heard my grandfather say that he brought it back from overseas, but it's just beautiful, it's useless, I look at it like an ordinary bead." ”

The girl held the beads in her hand and shook them from side to side, without the slightest appearance of cherishing them.

Zhang Qingsheng hurriedly put the glass beads for her. And instructed her: "This bead is very valuable at first glance, don't lose it easily, or the family will find out and blame you." ”

The girl pursed her lips, looking at the beads with a look of complaint.

"I can't eat it, I can't play with it, and I have to serve it like a baby, it's really troublesome."

Suddenly, her eyes rolled and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Shall I give it to you?"

Zhang Qingsheng hurriedly shook his head, "No, you put it away quickly." ”

"No, I'm going to give it to you." The girl is usually used to the wind and rain, where can she accept others to reject her.

Stuffed the beads into Zhang Qingsheng's hand, and said with a serious face: "This is a token I gave you, you can't refuse!" If you refuse, then it's ......" She paused for a moment and couldn't remember what was going on, but just whispered: "If you refuse me, you hate me, and I won't play with you anymore!" ”

"No, I don't hate you, but you can't just come to me in the future, your family will be unhappy."

Watching him take the glass beads, the girl didn't care about what he was saying, but just smiled and agreed.

The boy carefully hid the beads in his sleeve, and then looked around as if looking for something.

Behind him was a bamboo forest, and he broke off a section of bamboo and trimmed and polished it with the carving knife he carried with him.

"Brother Qingsheng, what are you doing?"

"I'm making a token for you."

"Tokens? Okay, okay. ”

The girl, who had always been lively and active, squatted down and waited quietly on the side.

He smoothed the bamboo, and finally wrapped it into a circle, and then wrapped the red rope around it to form a small bracelet.

"Wow, Brother Qingsheng is so amazing!" The girl's eyes were full of adoration.

"But why bamboo? It's the first time I've seen it. ”

Zhang Qingsheng said: "Bamboo is very tough and will not break easily. ”

After a moment, he blew off the bamboo crumbs from his hands and smiled with satisfaction. When she grows up, he will definitely buy her a new one.

The girl took the bracelet with joy, and then learned to hide it in her sleeve pocket. patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't let others find out." ”

"Okay."

"Hehe, now we have two secrets."

The stars in the sky swept into the lake, and two little people snuggled up to each other.

The bright night sky that hung high in the moon suddenly changed into a misty darkness.

The sound of the rain was falling like beads, hitting the pedestrian umbrella with a muffled sound.

"I'm back!"

In the picture, a man and a woman, one tall and one short.

The difference is that the girl has become slim, once round like a white bread and has become slender, what remains unchanged is that there are still two shallow pear vortices at the corners of her mouth smiling, and her slightly baby fat face has added a lot of childishness to her, looking playful and cute.

They stood face to face, but their eyes did not dare to look directly at each other. The girl stood by the eaves with an oil-paper umbrella, looking at the light rain outside the door, with a trace of unease on her face, "Of course I know you're back." ”

The first thing the boy did when he came back was to see her, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

The person in front of him was in front of him, and he couldn't care about anything anymore, so he grabbed her violently.

"I miss you so much." He frantically sucked the scent of her, fascinated.

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she hugged him and said, "I miss you too." ”

After a long time, the two of them came out of their arms.

The young man's face was happy, "I have already won a place to go to the border, this is a rare opportunity, as long as I stay there for five years and come back, I will receive the reward of the Holy Lord, and then I will let His Majesty give me a marriage." ”

The girl's face was also happy when she heard this, but the corners of her mouth immediately curved.

"Five-year ......"

"What's wrong? Little Peony doesn't want to wait for me? ”

The long-lost nickname evoked in her ears, and Bai Shao glanced at her with shame.

Then she said solemnly: "I, Bai Shao, am willing to wait for Zhang Qingsheng to come back from the frontier, five years, ten years...... As long as he doesn't marry me, he will never marry for life, the sky is above, please bless him to return safely and become famous as soon as possible. ”

The young man in front of him has given everything for him, he climbs up step by step, she sees all the hardships and bitterness in her eyes, it's only five years, how can she not afford to wait.

The girl prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God would be more tolerant and let him return safely.

Hearing her say this, the young man suddenly smiled, "What kind of wedding dress does Xiao Peony want to wear when the time comes?" I'm starting to prepare now. ”

"Five years to go, where is it so fast?" She smiled coquettishly, her eyes filled with a happy smile.

"Five years is not a long time, and I will only wear a wedding dress once in a lifetime, and I must sew it for you myself."

"Can you do it?"

"Don't forget who sewed the torn clothes you were up for."

The girl thought for a moment, "Then I want to wear a white wedding dress!" ”

"White?" The boy looked puzzled: "I'm afraid this is not good." ”

"What's not going to be good? My surname is white, and my favorite is white. Besides, I have never seen a white wedding dress in the capital, and if I wear it, it will be the attention of everyone. She said wistfully, "I want to be a unique bride!" ”

"Okay, then I want a white wedding dress, Xiao Peony looks best in white." The boy looked spoiled.

The continuous rain stopped, and the mirror-like rain reflected the entire blue sky. Until one footprint after another broke them all.

"Why did my mother let me marry Song Shizi?" A sharp girl was like a drop of rain in the first rain, followed by a torrential downpour of rain.

"What's wrong with Song Shizi? He is the son of the king of the county, although he is going to the fief in the future, but he is also glorious and rich! The woman is unmarried and the man is not married, what happened to you marrying him? ”

"But you know who your daughter is happy with! You promised me that you wouldn't force me to marry someone else. ”

Bai Mu sighed and said earnestly: "There is no way now, don't blame the mother for being ruthless, this is for your good, and for the good of the entire Bai family." ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it! I don't want to marry him! She threw the sticker to the ground.

Bai Mu frowned angrily, but she still restrained her emotions and said coldly: "Nurse, take the young lady back to the room." ”

"I don't want to, I don't want to go back to the room, unless you promise to help me break the marriage!" She clutched the door and refused to leave, like a market shrew.

Bai Mu shouted angrily: "Look at your appearance, do you still have the slightest appearance of a lady, if you marry to the county king's mansion like this, I don't know how to lose the face of our Bai family!" ”

"So what, I don't want to marry to the county king's mansion, I want to marry Zhang Qingsheng!"

Her words angered Bai Mu even more, "Zhang Qingsheng Zhang Qingsheng, how many years have you been waiting for him?" Year after year, what is a head! Now you're an old girl, and how many people in the city are watching your jokes.

Now that the border is dangerous, it is still unknown whether he will be able to come back alive. If he hasn't come back for three years, five years, or ten years, isn't it possible that you just wait for him to grow old? Can you afford to wait, can our Bai family afford to wait? ”

The more Bai Mu spoke, the more angry she became: "Take people down to me, whether you live or die, you have to enter the county king's mansion no matter what!" ”

"Don't, Mother......"

Her clothes were dragged to the ground, and her hair was like a madman on the street, but no one sympathized with her.

She was easily locked up, even if she didn't eat or drink and was so thin that she was out of shape, no one opened the door for her.

Until she was imprisoned for ten days, she had no strength to continue to resist, and the nurse couldn't bear it, and finally called someone.

The girl cried so much that her eyes were blind, and she finally lay in bed for seven days before she could get out of bed, but she could not wait for her mother's soft heart, but waited for a wedding dress.

"Miss, this is a wedding dress from the King's Palace, you can try it."

"What wedding dress? Send me back quickly! ”
