In the dim night, the young man looked at the person who was breathing steadily in his arms, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. I don't know how long it took, but he still didn't care, lowered his head and kissed the girl's hair gently.

*

The next day, when Jiang Wu woke up again, there was no one by the bedside. She was stunned and looked out the window, where it was still raining. For some reason, she felt like the rain. Talking about being angry or not, she lifted the quilt and lowered her eyes to get up and do something.

It was at this time that the young man pushed open the door and entered. She was stunned for a long time, until the young man arrived in front of her, she didn't know when she had such an aggrieved tone: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xie Yuwan touched her head and put the quilt away: "I'm going to make breakfast." ”

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes aggrievedly, she didn't know how to describe the sense of loss at that moment, she said softly: "I thought you were gone." ”

The young man smiled warmly and gently pinched the girl's reddened ears: "I was going to go directly, because the little girl was sleeping very soundly, and I really didn't want to wake up the little girl." But when I wrote a letter to my little woman, I always felt that I would be angry if I left like this, so I postponed it for a long time. ”

Jiang Wu hugged the young man's waist: "Do you make dumplings?" ”

Xie Yuwan touched her head: "Well, it's for the orange candy bag, I cooked it." ”

"Last time you said let me eat the dumplings you made, it turned out to be only that one, liar." Jiang Wu muttered softly, but she also understood why, but she knew that it would not prevent her from saying it now.

The young man leaned down, picked up the girl, and went to the soft collapse on the side: "Well, I'm a liar. He gently dressed her in shoes and socks, then clothes, then washed her, and finally led the person to the table.

A bowl of hot dumplings was in front of her, Jiang Wu sat down and finished eating with red eyes.

Xie Yuwan didn't eat, just looked at her quietly. When she finished eating, the young man handed over another cup of tea, and Jiang Wu bit her lip and drank the tea, and heard the young man's laughter.

"Would you like to read my letters every day?" The young man's voice was soft, very soft, with three points of coaxing.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "I'll think about it." ”

Xie Yuwan walked up to her, hugged her from behind, and bent down to kiss her face: "It's a moment, has Xiaowen thought about it?" ”

Jiang Wu was not angry in the first place, but at this time, her face was already a little red again, and she turned her head to the middle of the young man's arms: "Master is a scoundrel." It was already a coquettish tone, the young man leaned over and kissed the back of the girl's neck, like a butterfly skimming the water, and the snow fell on the sleeves of her palm: "Does the little girl want to answer the scoundrel?" ”

After a long time, in this warm embrace, the girl responded with a red face. She turned around and hugged the young man, wanting to ask something, but she didn't feel the need for it. Separate and reunited, it is one and one twin. There are too many things in this world, which contain sorrows and joys. She hugged him quietly and lowered her eyes.

It was raining outside, Xie Yuwan gently touched the girl's head with his hand, he whispered something about Jiangnan, and after a long time, after seeing the girl's raised lips, there was also a shallow smile in his eyes.

*

Half a year passed quietly.

At this time, Jiang Sister-in-law had already arrived in Jiangnan with her mother, and they did not live in the mansions that Xie Yuwan said, but lived in the small courtyard that Jiang Sister-in-law had bought by herself before.

Jiang Wu received Xie Yuwan's letter every day, and it took two days to travel from Chang'an to Jiangnan. She occasionally returns, occasionally not. In the second month after she came to Jiangnan, it snowed in Jiangnan, but she didn't go out to see it, but closed the window and read the books she used to have.

When my mother saw it, she didn't poke it, but just smiled gently.

*

After another half a year, Mo Huai came to the small courtyard.

Jiang Wu listened to the news from Mo Huai's mouth and looked at another summer day in Jiangnan. After saying some things, Mo Huai went back to Chang'an. Coming in a hurry, going in a hurry, Jiang Wu looked at Chenlian's words that she had been preparing for a year, but she still didn't say a word.

When Mo Huai left, Chenlian ate the flower cake she made again, and handed Jiang Wu a piece with a smile. Jiang Wu took it, took a bite, and found that it was much more delicious than before. She looked at Chenlian's appearance, and understood in her heart, but she also knew that she didn't know what to say.

If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold.

Chang'an's news about Xie Yulate, she can always hear the people in the shop mention it these days. She smiled softly, and listened quietly behind the curtain to the eyes of others.

What she used to hear was nothing more than the beauty of the moon and the jade gentleman, but now she heard other voices, she heard the little girls in the shop call him 'traitor'. The world no longer talked about his appearance, but began to talk about his power through the sky, his grasp of the government, and his control over the emperor.

She laughed and laughed, and couldn't laugh again. I wanted to write a letter to ask, but I knew that he was in dire straits in Chang'an at this time. With her letter, it will only add to his troubles. She hesitated for a long time, but gave up. After a few days, when the limelight had passed, she wrote him a letter.

She didn't mention the court, but just told him interesting things about the shop. For example, the second child in the spice shop fell in love with the girl who sold flowers in the shop next door, and the second child went to buy the girl's flowers every day, and the two became acquainted with each other over time.

For another example, my mother's shop didn't lose money for a few months. Although I don't make much money every month, I am a repeat customer, and my reputation has actually gone out. It's just that my mother's energy is limited, and although she has accepted an apprentice, she hasn't practiced it yet, so she doesn't do it when she makes three boxes of incense every day.

Jiang Wu wrote with a smile, folded the letter into the envelope, and took it out again. She added a sentence, and this year, that's it.

'Thank you for being late, I miss you very much. ’

After writing this sentence, she put the letter in it, and then took it out again, and she looked at it, and finally cut the last sentence. She looked at the candle flame quietly, and then there was a faint smile in her eyes, she was afraid that he would miss her more when he saw her, if it was suitable to come to see her, he would have come to see her a long time ago, she added such a sentence, but it was not good.

She wanted him to be safe more than to see him.

She still kept a light on outside the house every day, and although no one would come back, it was always on. After repacking the letter, Jiang Wu went to bed.

The light outside, leisurely, burned from autumn to spring, and from spring to autumn, seeing that Jiangnan was about to enter winter again.

*

It was snowing again in Jiangnan, and Jiang Wu was already warming her books in the house with the doors and windows closed. When Chenlian knocked on the door, she thought it was another letter from Xie Yuwan, but when she took it, she was stunned for a long time when she looked at the name on it.

It's not Xie Yulate, it's Yu Chen.

She was in Jiangnan and received a letter from Yu Chen who didn't know where to send it. Chenlian said on the side that it was sent by Gongzi, and said that it was given to Miss by Yu Chen.

Jiang Wu closed the book she was studying on the table and opened the letter. There was only a thin piece of paper in the letter, like a cloud far away from Chen Shitian who was bidding farewell to Chen Shi on the shore. She carefully took out the paper inside, it was some inferior paper, like the kind of paper sold on the street for hundreds of copper coins a stack.

She spread out the letter.

"Seeing the words is like meeting, auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm fine. That day I parted from Chang'an, and now it has been more than a year. In the past year, when I have traveled all over the rivers and mountains, I always think of what Brother Xie said to me in the past. If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have gone astray by now. That day, I wanted to express my gratitude to my grandmother, but I only blamed the wind and rain in a hurry. I missed the time, and now I dare to repair a book.

During the year, I used my grandmother's money to build dozens of schools in remote places, and I found poor old talents from all over the world to teach in the schools. Although it is a drop in the bucket, if you can help one person, you are one person. Auntie, it turns out that there is another heaven and earth besides the atonement. Don't worry, I am under a firmament, in a river and a mountain. Yesterday is in a hurry, the future is in a hurry, and the present is the most precious. ——Yu Chen"

Jiang Wu looked at it for a long time, and finally put the letter away preciously.

Outside, the snow was falling one by one, covering the mountains and lakes. But where the wind and snow are in the world, all spring must be melted.

In one letter after another, Jiang Wu spent the second Spring Festival in Jiangnan with her mother, Chen Lian and Han Cicada, and their reunion dinner was late, and when they finished eating, it was already dark.

The surrounding people lit firecrackers early, and after they had a reunion dinner, they also set off firecrackers in front of the door. Last year, it was a fire lit by a chilling cicada, and this year Jiang said she wanted to try it.

Chenlian carefully taught for many days, and on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Yue finally lit the first firecracker in her life.

She bent her eyes rarely, and the whole person smiled, and after lighting the firecrackers, she stepped back with the hem of her skirt, and then covered her ears with everyone in the small courtyard. For a while, the snow was falling, and it was everywhere, and under the sparks, there was a crackling sound.

At this moment, fireworks were set off all over the south of the Yangtze River, which was grand and bright, reflecting the dim sky. The sound of the sound converged together, alarming people all over the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally there were also residents of the alley of the small courtyard.

Originally, there were many children, and such a grand scene was unique in these years, and every family went out.

Jiang Wu looked at the fireworks in the sky with red eyes, laughed and laughed and cried, crying and laughing again. She looked at the bright and grand fireworks in the sky, and remembered that when Qingshan Xie wanted to push the swing for her that day, Wen Sheng would definitely play a grander fireworks for her in the future.

She looked at the fireworks in the sky, which burned for a quarter of an hour, and the dim sky was reflected.

It's grand.

*

Chang'an City, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Under the bright candlelight, a young man in a snowsuit quietly corrected the recital.

The sound inside and outside the palace shook the sky, and it was lively, and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion took a three-day vacation and went back to reunite with their families. Only the young man sat alone in his study.

Mo Huai came to take a look and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything. In the past two years, Childe has come over like this, and since there is a bed in the study, Childe has hardly returned to the room.

The son, who was called a 'traitor' from the outside, does not eat meat and fishy food every day, does not wear fancy clothes, and today he used a bowl of dumplings, which is already considered exceptional. Tangtang said to him that the son was in Qing Xiu. Mo Huai had heard of Qing Xiu, but he didn't understand why Gongzi wanted Qing Xiu, Tang Tang said that it was to pray for blessings, and Mo Huai understood.

After persuading Mo Huai to leave, Tangtang's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he quietly closed the door.

*

Late at night, after the correction was completed, Xie Yuwan carefully took out a wooden box. After the wooden box was opened, revealing dozens of letters inside, the young man watched quietly, his hand gently caressing.

Another year.

......

The next day, Mo Huai secretly took one person to the house.

In the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City, the people who came had a pair of lonely eyes. Xu Yanshi faded away from his former youthfulness and followed behind Mo Huai in silence.

When he arrived at the door, Mo Huai motioned for him to knock.

Xu Yanshi half-lowered his eyes, the fireworks outside were bright, and in the silence of the prime minister, he raised his hand.

A young man's calm voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Xu Yanshi lowered his eyes and gently pushed the door open. He looked at the young man in a snowsuit not far away, knelt down respectfully, and performed the highest standard of etiquette in the world.

"Teacher."

Don't talk about the past, don't talk about the past, Xie Yuwan handed over the fold in his hand, which was the news of the impeachment of the adultererous minister. Xu Yanshi respectfully took it and said softly, "The student understands. ”

Until Xu Yanshi left, Xie Yuwan didn't look at him again.

*

After the Spring Festival, the orange candy arrived in Jiangnan, and it was sent by Mo Huai.

Deliver the orange candy, and Mo Huai is leaving. Jiang Wu glanced at Chenlian, who was eating flower cakes, and still couldn't help but call Mo Huai.

This sound came out, and Chen Lian bit her teeth on the flower cake and loosened her teeth, and then swallowed the bite casually. Jiang Wu looked at it and asked softly: "Mo Huai, in the afternoon, the second child in my mother's shop asked for leave, and some goods were unloaded by no one, if you are not in a hurry, can you stay in Jiangnan for a day?" ”

Mo Huai responded: "Okay." ”

Tangerine looked left and right, took a piece of flower cake, and took a bite. After swallowing it, she was stunned, then took another bite, and in a few moments she finished eating a flower cake.

Some are like ...... Chilling cicadas.

Tangerine looked around, but didn't see the shadow of the cicada. She looked not far away, and was wondering which tree the cicada was on, when she saw the cicada walking in from outside the door, dressed in black.

I haven't seen each other for two years, and when we suddenly meet, Tangtang Candy can't help but be stunned for a moment. She looked at the cicada and saw her, frowning, and then headed towards the kitchen. A strange feeling rose in Tangerine's heart, he hadn't seen her for two years, how could he see her like this. The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she took another flower cake.

Chenlian raised her eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Tangtang took a bite and said softly, "It's very similar to the cicada." "The cooking skills of the chilling cicada are the best she has ever seen, and this evaluation actually means delicious. Jiang Wu smiled helplessly on the side, Chenlian has been learning flower cakes with Han Cicada this year, so it's strange that she can't be like it.

She looked at the four people in the courtyard and gently closed the door. What she can do for Chenlian is to leave Mo Huai for a day. The rest, it was not up to her to decide.

She went back to her room and looked at the letter that Xie Yuwan had written to her that Mo Huai had personally brought. Her eyes twitched for a moment, then opened as usual. Xie Yuwan didn't write anything, but just said peace to her.

She looked at the words 'don't worry' and took the letter into her arms. She looked quietly out the window, where there was a tree, also a pear tree, which had been transplanted in her first year.

Xie Yuwan said three years, whether it was three years or not, it took too long for a pear tree to grow, so she transplanted one directly. She thought that if Xie wanted to come late in spring and summer, he would be able to see the pear blossoms all over the courtyard; If they want to come late in autumn and winter, they can brew pear wine in Chang'an together.

It's spring, and the pear blossoms are not yet in full bloom.

*

What happened after that day, Jiang Wu didn't know.

Mo Huai left Jiangnan after helping, and Chenlian still came back as usual and ate three flower cakes. Jiang Wu didn't say anything, just continued to do her own thing.

She looked out the window at the tree and thought that when the pear blossoms were in full bloom, she would send him one.
