12 Chapter 12

A strand or two of hair escaped from her bun, trembling at her sideburns with her breathing, and it was so close to the candle flame that it might burn.

Huan Xuan stretched out his hand, turned the hair that touched it and turned it away, removing the candlestick.

Outside the back window, Xun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then tightened her face again, what a system! Not to mention that the rule of the first seven is to leave early and let the soul come back alone, let's just say that this lonely man and widow are late at night, and how can people talk about Xie Zhan!

There seemed to be footsteps behind her, Xun Yuan hurriedly turned around, and Liu Zhi walked out quietly: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

The voice was very low, but Huan Xuan had already heard it, and was about to get up to check, when Fu Yun woke up late. She didn't seem to be able to react to the current situation, and looked at him in a daze for a long time before she called: "General." ”

Huan Xuan saw her reddish eyelids, her eyes were washed clean by sleep, black was black and white, like two black spars soaked in a hidden spring. It's beautiful, so it's no wonder that Yuan Yuan has gone to great lengths to get it. Huan Xuan looked away: "It's the third watch." ”

Fu Yunwan sat up straight and straightened his sideburns. During the third watch, yin and yang converge, if Xie Zhan can come back, it should be this time, right? Suddenly heard a few soft noises outside the window, as if someone was stepping on the dry grass, Fu Yunwan was pleasantly surprised: "Tan Lang! ”

Huan Xuan wanted to say no, but when he saw the fleeting smile on her lips, he swallowed it back. She got up and chased outside the door, stopped in front of the door, looked back at him, Huan Xuan also said that she also heard that it was Xun Yuan outside the door, and was about to speak, poof, she blew out the candle.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, there was no moon on a cloudy day, Huan Xuan got used to it for a while before she could distinguish her outline, she stepped out of the door with one foot and one foot still in the threshold, looking up at the dark back garden in the distance, what was she thinking?

Fu Yunwan held his breath and listened hard, but the vague movement disappeared, and now there was only the sound of the wind passing through the garden. Is it Xie Zhan? She didn't dare to chase it out for fear of disturbing the soul, but did he still leave?

Huan Xuan's low voice came from behind him: "It's not a Buddha." ”

Fu Yunwan looked back in a daze, why did he say that?

Behind the house, Xun Yuan walked a few steps and was stopped by Liu Zhi: "No, the general must have heard it, you have to go back and explain." ”

"What do I have to explain?" Xun Yuan was angry, "The first seven rules are that you can't keep vigil, what is it for them to be alone and widowed together?" I also blew the lamp! ”

"You mean," Liu Zhi was stunned, "Fu Niangzi and the general?" ”

"Who else but her?" The more Xun Yuan spoke, the more angry she became, "It's only been a few days, don't talk about wearing people's clothes, and I don't know how to avoid suspicion in the middle ......of the night."

"Don't talk nonsense," Liu Zhi interrupted her, "I didn't discredit Lang Jun." ”

The light and shadow behind him flickered, and the lights in the Jingshe turned on again, and Liu Zhi left in a hurry: "I still have something to do, you go to see the general, don't say I'm here too." ”

In the house, Fu Yunwan slowly walked back with tears in her eyes: "I'm afraid that my soul won't be able to see the light, so I just turned off the lights, I'm sorry." ”

"It's Grandma outside just now." Huan Xuan saw her gloomy look, and couldn't help but add another sentence, "The netherworld is already ethereal, don't take it too seriously." ”

And what about him? Fu Yunwan raised her eyes to look at him, she could feel his disappointment, and he was obviously looking forward to Xie Zhan's return: "You said Lang Jun, will he come back?" ”

Huan Xuan wanted to say that he would, but he was afraid that he would give her too much hope, but when the time came, he would disappoint her even more, and when he heard the movement outside, Xun Yuan came: "General, the rules of the first seven can't keep the spirit, it's not good for the deceased, it's time to go back." ”

Huan Xuan glanced at her, and there was a very light footstep outside her, which should be Liu Zhi. But now she was the only one coming. These days, I have secretly tracked down, and found several suspicious points in Liu Zhi, even the sudden delivery of goods by the shop on the day of the fire was also arranged by Liu Zhi, is there any connection between their mother and son and the fire and Xie Zhan's death? Huan Xuan thought about it and decided not to startle the snake first: "I know, you send Fu Niangzi back first." ”

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Fu Yunwan getting up and saluting him, Huan Xuan returned the salute with his crossed hands, she left, the surroundings suddenly became empty, Huan Xuan watched from afar, will Xie Zhan come back tonight? I'm afraid she's going to toss and turn and can't sleep.

"General," Duan Xiang looked over, "Liu Zhi is also there." ”

Huan Xuan nodded: "Keep an eye on it, if there is any change, take it immediately." ”

Walking through the inner house, Xun Yuan stopped in front of the door: "I have something to say to the lady." ”

Fu Yunwan raised his eyes, Xun Yuan's tense face was hidden in the night: "I'm a subordinate, it stands to reason that I shouldn't care about the lady's affairs, but Lang Jun is the face of our southerners, a bodhisattva-like figure, even if the lady has any thoughts, at least she has to get filial piety, besides, the rabbit doesn't eat the grass by the nest, the general sometimes can't think of it, the lady is a fine person, and the lady can't think of it?" ”

Fu Yun didn't react to her meaning until a late night, and his ears and cheeks turned red: "You, what did you say?" I, I didn't. ”

"If there is any, the lady knows it in her heart." Xun Yuan bowed stiffly, "I have said everything that should be said, and the lady is good for herself." ”

She couldn't help but turn her head and leave, Fu Yunwan chased out two steps, and then stood down.

What's the use of explaining to her? She wouldn't believe her. These days, the Xie family is polite and estranged to her, even Huan Xuan was at the beginning, they all blamed her for killing Xie Zhan, and now she suffers these sufferings, and she should atone for her sins.

Holding on to the wall, I slowly walked into the house, painful and remorseful. I should have gone to the palace that day, in that case, everything would have been over a long time ago. Take the fire and light the lamp, the four walls are cold, the half-ironed brocade robe is placed on the table, Fu Yunwan burned the iron again and took it in his hand, and returned it to Huan Xuan after ironing it as soon as possible, from now on, she will never see any irrelevant men.

I didn't close my eyes for a moment this night, I got up as soon as the sky was bright, the brocade robe had dried, and the densely pressed gold thread held up a strong dragon shape on the dark background, Fu Yunwan found a piece of wrapping it in a piece of wrapping and went out with it in his hand.

Huan Xuan got up early in the morning and arranged the memorial service in the court.

The first seven memorials generally only invite relatives and friends, but he has sent invitations to almost all the people with heads and faces in Yejing, there is the name of the general, those people dare not come, and then let Fu Yunwan come out as a surviving person to reward, everyone is watching, and Fu Yunwan's identity is confirmed, at least in the hundred days of filial piety, Yuan Yuan should not touch her.

After a hundred days, he should have sent her back to Jiangdong, so there was no need to worry.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the corner of the decay, Fu Yun came late, and Huan Xuan hurriedly greeted him: "It's here." ”

She lowered her head and didn't look at him, and handed the burden in her hand to the guard: "The general's robe has been washed." ”

Huan Xuan felt that her attitude seemed to be a little distant, and saw that her face was pale, her eyelids were red and swollen, and her eyes were blue and black, probably because she had been crying for too long last night, and her spirit was a little unsupportable. stepped forward and lowered his voice: "There are a lot of people here today, if you can't bear it, just tell me......"

She hurriedly retreated, separated from him by a long distance, Huan Xuan subconsciously stopped, and when she looked at it, she lowered her head and refused to make eye contact with him, Huan Xuan quickly realized that she was avoiding him.

This situation surprised him a little, and it was clearly not like this last night: "What, what happened?" ”

"Nope." Fu Yunwan tried her best to make a casual appearance, "I'm over." ”

Hurriedly walked to the mourning hall, the monk was chanting around the coffin, and the low and long chanting voice slowly calmed down the heavy state of mind. Fu Yunwan knelt in front of the spirit and recited silently, remembering that she also knelt in front of the spirit to chant when her mother passed away four years ago, when Xie Zhan accompanied her, they had just met, and she didn't dare to trouble him, but he was so good, she didn't understand the rules of funeral, the Fu family didn't care, it was all he who spoke softly, pointing at her everywhere, and her mother was not so embarrassed.

Now, it was she who followed his guidance and came to see him off. Tanlang, Tanlang, I miss you so much, I should really go with you......

Huan Xuan looked at her and was puzzled. It seems that overnight, everything is back to the rustiness they had when they first met seven days ago, what happened? It was already late when we parted last night, it was impossible to see outsiders, and I hadn't heard anything about it, so it was only Xun Yuan.

"General," Duan Xiang hurriedly walked over, "Liu Zhi is gone!" ”

"General," the man ran all the way over, "there is a decree in the palace!" ”

In the midst of the chaotic footsteps, Wang Ping'an walked in front of him with the holy decree in his hand, and unfolded it with a brush: "Heyang's supply of horses has been delayed repeatedly, resulting in a lack of horses in the army, and the fighter plane has been delayed. ”

The corners of his mouth looked at Huan Xuan with a smile: "General Huan, take the order." ”
