And then it turned out to be Yuzhu's unfortunate miscarriage, for this, every day there were people with injuries, sent out by Shifu, and lost the errand of supporting the family.

Under several joys and sorrows, Bai Shanglu was also difficult to turn around for a while, only looking through the blue brick wall every day, but he couldn't see the slightest beautiful woman.

The east is slightly white, flashing with vibrant gold, the low fence is wrapped with blue vines, it seems to be only clear and beautiful on weekdays, today the green leaves are quietly containing Ying, blooming crimson flowers in the morning mist, delicate and bright, this inconspicuous vine is pregnant with a flower called the morning face, blooming in the morning, to noon flowers, the most delicate and incomparable time is like a twilight face, fleeting.

Bai Shanglu has been leaning over in front of the fence to look at the flowers until the flowers are gone, and then holding the luodian mirror to look at the mirror until sunset, as if the flowers in the mirror, there are hidden jade bamboo faces. He is also a poor man, who originally had a great future, but now he can only live in a dilapidated square inch, caressing half of the Luodian mirror every day and feeling sad.

The days fly by, thank you for the spring flowers tactfully, the summer flowers bloom, the red autumn leaves wither, the white winter snow is still around, in the blink of an eye it is another year, Bai Shanglu's black hair, there are a few more strands of white hair, in the black hair tactfully flying, particularly dazzling, he is only in his twenties, a year ago he was still heroic, full of ambition, who expected that in just one year, he was so embarrassed and haggard, it was really the most hurtful. The snow stopped falling for a few days, the sun poked its head out in the heavy clouds, layers of fog, sprinkled with light and weak light, Bai Shanglu was restless early in the morning, and glimpsed all kinds of splendid lanterns hanging on the street, today is the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the day of Yuzhu's appointment with him, his anxiety is for the auspicious and unpredictable appointment.

In fact, this matter is really a bottomless matter, now it is different from the past, God knows if Yuzhu's heart is the same as in the past, Shi Cassia treats her well, and even gives her a special favor, she is a lover worthy of entrusting her for life, and can live a stable life with her, in exchange for an ordinary woman, she will also choose Shi Cassia Ming, rather than Bai Shanglu, who has no fixed place to live and has little future. However, she is not an ordinary woman, but even if she has not changed, where will this high-ranking family be so easy to enter and exit, the variables are really too big.

Yuzhu said in the morning that it was in the most prosperous bazaar to meet, the most prosperous bazaar happened to face Shifu, Bai Shanglu walked back and forth in the bazaar, but finally found nothing, until the sun was thin, the light of the dissolved gold shattered sun on the Shifu, the high wall of the eaves seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, and the mist rose in the backyard, which was the smoke rising from the stove when the people of Shifu were preparing dinner. These scenes are not like the unfathomable nature of a wealthy family, but like the life of an ordinary family.

Bai Shanglu turned around and was about to leave, thinking about it, he was a person who didn't count on it, where could he withstand a long wait without hope, after all, this comfortable day was irresistible to anyone, let alone Yuzhu, who had been displaced for a long time.

Coincidentally, at this time, an old merchant walked through the market, and what he sold was half a piece of luodian mirror, some people were curious, and stepped forward to ask the price, the price was so expensive that it was scary, and it was only half a piece, and it was sold several times, and there were many jokes, and there was no fool who paid for it.

Seeing that the crowd dispersed, Bai Shanglu dared to recognize the old merchant, and asked the old merchant to hand over to Yuzhu, not only a poem, but also a blood-stained gun.

Shi Cianming's shock and anger when he saw Bai Shanglu made Yuzhu almost think that he was going to die here, but he still fulfilled her and Bai Shanglu in the end, and gave them a large sum of silver taels to return to their hometowns to live. Before leaving, Yuzhu really thanked Shi Cassia for a while, but Shi Cassia smiled bitterly: "I really am not a decent gentleman, and I did think about giving Bai Shang Lu An some crime, and then I took care of him unconsciously, but I am afraid, I am afraid that you will also seek death because of this, I have always known your character, and I can't stay, so I can only let you go." ”

These words really made Yuzhu burst into tears, thinking of his previous protection, thousands of thoughtfulness, and tears fell even more.

Things have come to this point, Yuzhu originally thought that it was a happy ending that could not be more satisfying, and she could spend the next few decades with him in peace.

Bai Shanglu and Yuzhu returned to the former capital of Li State, and the local parents had already been instructed by Shi Cassia to return the originally confiscated Horse Mansion to them as a place to stay, which shows the atmosphere of Shi Cassia Ming from this matter, and it also shows that he treats Yuzhu sincerely, and can't bear to see her displaced, so there will be such an arrangement, if it is someone else, I am afraid that there will be no such generosity, I am afraid that I will only think that if you live better than me, I can't stand it, then I will not toss you to death.

Although Yuzhu once served as Shi Cianming's concubine, this did not prevent her from wanting to have a complete wedding ceremony and a candle night in the cave room with Bai Shanglu, and their marriage was set in the spring, and the flowers were as bright as their hopeful future.

On the day of the wedding, Yuzhu sat on the wedding bed, the red candle faintly through the hijab, reflecting her eyebrows, even her face was smeared with two blushes, which made her delicate and moving, this is not her first time in the cave room, but it is the one she is most looking forward to. There are too many mistakes in life, and they can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon after they miss it, and the joy is naturally indescribable.

However, Bai Shanglu hesitated for a long time, his hand hung in the void, and he stopped for a long time before he lifted his hijab, and saw Yuzhu's stunning smile, as bright as the moon, he was slightly stunned: "Yuzhu, you ......"

Yuzhu's wide red dress has a slightly loose neckline, revealing a little white skin, the sleeves slide down the straight arms, lining the wrists crystal white, she stretched out her hand to pull his hand, tilted her head to look at him, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Why, you don't recognize me." ”

He slowly saved up a smile, the smile was barely stiff and a little strange, as if he was forced to swallow a mouthful of coptis, and said bitterly: "I've been busy all day, you're tired, rest early, I'll go to the study, there are still some trivial things to finish." ”

The voice was still there, Bai Shanglu had already pulled out his hand very slowly, the hand seemed to be extremely cold, drawing a cold trace on her hand, and stepped out, at that time, the moonlight outside the window was like Qi, and the happy event that should have been warm in the spring was dyed with the cold moonlight, and she watched his figure disappear into the night, for a long time, raised his hand to brush the corner of his eyes, drank a cold tea at hand, and looked as if his heart had never been sour.

Since the two of them have settled down in the old capital, they have to find a livelihood to make a living, although when leaving, Shi Cassia gave a lot of silver taels, but it is not a long-term solution to sit and eat empty.

Although Bai Shanglu is an old minister of Li Guo, but he is also a real talent and real learning, after the battlefield of the general, although he has fought a defeat, but is still flawed, Chen Guoxu is also intended to win the hearts of the people, showing that the big country cherishes the heart of talents, the two of them just returned to their hometowns A few days ago, Bai Shanglu was made a military attache by the imperial court, and became an official who eats the imperial court and works for the imperial court.

Even if you become an official, if you still want to rise step by step, it is naturally indispensable to socialize with your superiors and subordinates, and you must not enter some Fengyue places, which seems to be an eternal law of officialdom. And Jiangnan has always been known as a gentle township, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is lined up, there are countless famous prostitutes of all colors, the end is red, fat, green and thin, each has its own merits, not afraid that you will not come, just afraid that you will not want to go, there is always one you like unforgettable, and the Qinglou that has visited Li Guo has become the capital of the rich to show off.

Before the country broke, Bai Shanglu was burdened with the name of a quasi-concubine, and he didn't dare to set foot in a place like Huajie Liuxiang, thinking about it, if the lord of Li Guo knew, wouldn't he be beheaded all over the house, although he was already gone.

And after Chen Guo became an official, at first he would shirk this kind of thing in every way, in order to take into account Yuzhu's face and mood, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be dislikes with colleagues.

If you don't want to be an outlier, then you can only bow your head to most of the ordinary, Bai Shanglu chose to bow his head to be the same kind, in fact, this is not so incomprehensible, he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, if it is before the country breaks, he is still a concubine, and it is naturally easy to rise to the top, and now his identity is embarrassing, but he wants to rise step by step, so he naturally has to find another way.

The bright spring light slowly ages through the fingers, the shadows of the flowers in the west slanting sunlight ripple slightly, and there are few floating shadows like the spring light, and the fog is heavy in all directions, and the endless dark clouds are like overturned ink pools, dyeing the flickering light to nothing.

In the evening, Bai Shanglu looked at the official document in the study, and suddenly the door curtain slammed, and he raised his eyes to see Yuzhu picking up the curtain and coming in, she was wearing a red Luo skirt today, with a pair of beautiful eyes and a smile with affection, her face was pink, and Bai Shanglu's heart was swaying.

That's probably the case with the country and the city, and it's no wonder that Shi Cassia and Bai Shanglu are both in love with her, she is a rare beauty, gentle as water when she is quiet, and heroic when she moves.

She took the scissors to cut off the wick, the light "snapped", suddenly brightened a little, the dim halo enveloped her silhouette, branded on the window paper, juan Xiu's picturesque book traced, she looked back and pursed her lips and smiled: "The lamp is so dim, and I am not afraid of seeing bad eyes." After that, he smiled and grabbed Bai Shanglu's hand.

Bai Shanglu stared at her, a little distracted for a while, and was stunned for a long time, until he saw the flush on her cheeks, he quietly withdrew his hand, took the pen and said lightly: "I still have some business to do, you can rest first." ”

"It's okay, it's still early, I'll stay with you for a while. Yuzhu lifted the broken hair on his forehead and approached Bai Shanglu, a burst of fragrance made his breathing a little short, he put down the pen, tried his best to concentrate, and still involuntarily hugged her shoulder.

Yuzhu smiled silently, the pear vortex on his cheeks was extremely beautiful, the beauty made people can't take his eyes off, his head lightly rested on Bai Shanglu's shoulder, and the dim light fell on the two of them, a few swirls.

After a long time, Bai Shanglu seemed to wake up suddenly, pushed away Yuzhu without a trace, and said lightly: "You go back first, there are a lot of business in the past few days, and I will go to see you in a few days." ”

"Okay, I've got some supper for you, you want to use it. Yuzhu got up, cut her hair and clothes, and when she brushed her cheeks, she looked sideways at a famous post on the table, she was slightly stunned, and she hid her lost soul in an instant, and she was almost imperceptible.

Looking at Yuzhu walking away, Bai Shanglu's originally peaceful face became gloomy, as heavy as night, almost dripping ink, flicking his sleeves, sweeping the supper on the side to the ground.

The subordinates heard the sound coming in, all of them looked at each other, extremely surprised, he has always been calm and thin, the corners of his lips are raised and he is smiling, his eyebrows are slightly frowning is angry, and his emotions are faint as light ink, this kind of anger is the first time, I really don't know where it comes from.

The next night, Yuzhu took the maid as usual, and went to the study with the food box, but ate a closed door, the study was pitch black, empty, only a small servant stood in front of the door, Yuzhu asked lonely: "What about the master." ”

"If you go back to Madame, the master has not come back yet. ”

"What did the person who went to pick up the old man say when he returned home. Yuzhu frowned slightly, covered his heart and asked.

"This ...... Here, the lord said that there are still some official things to be busy, and he wants the lady to rest first. The little guy replied tremblingly, as if there was something secret that could not be said to anyone, and when he saw Yuzhu's increasingly gloomy face, he didn't say anything more.

Yuzhu turned to leave, only a few steps slowly, but suddenly turned around, rushed to the door, her fingertips touched some mottled red paint, a slight pause, she suddenly pushed open the door, through the dim light, saw the name card on the table, a few words written on the hairpin, stabbed her eyes slightly painful: "Wind Lotus Water Pavilion".

Her face became more and more pale, how could people who have lived here for a long time not know the name of the Fenghe Water Pavilion, it is the most famous Qinglou in the old capital, and the men who live here have been here in ten times.

She covered her heart, with a slight pain in her breathing, leaned against the door and shook her head with a wry smile, the most feared and worried thing, finally did not hide from it, it turned out that many life and death were difficult to defeat the wind and snow. In fact, this is an ordinary thing between ordinary couples, but she cares so much only because they are not ordinary couples, and they have experienced too much life and death, so it is difficult to tolerate the existence of a third person.

Since then, for half a month, Yuzhu has never seen Bai Shanglu's noodles again, she still makes pastry soup by herself every day, and ordered someone to send it over, but she never said a word to him.

Yuzhu enclosed herself in the backyard, and those who had anything to do with herself, or those who had nothing to do with it, shut them all out of the door, and regarded what she couldn't see and what she couldn't hear as non-existent, people often said that she could endure loneliness in order to keep the prosperity, but now the respect she longed for seemed to be slowly moving away, and the prosperity could only be deceived by others, and she couldn't deceive her loneliness.

The wind and lotus water pavilion in the night is just the beginning of the hustle and bustle, gradually lighting up the glazed brilliance, smiling softly and drifting farther and farther away with the night breeze. Bai Shang Lu walked out of the water pavilion with slightly drunk steps, all the way to the renamed Horse Mansion, and now the Bai Mansion is going, since that day after the candles in the cave room, staying in the study has become his usual thing, and since he met the half maple lotus in the Wind Lotus Water Pavilion, it has become a common thing to return to the house when he lingers here every day, and he is back early today.

Bai Shanglu seems to be carrying a delicate box in his hand, which contains a white hosta, which is a pattern painted by his own hand a few days ago, and invited a skilled craftsman to carve, I thought he was going to give it to a good half of the maple lotus, who thought that he would go around in the water pavilion, and brought it out as it was, in fact, this day is the birthday of Yuzhu, it was because she was born in the spring, the yard is full of jade-like bamboo, so she took such a stingy but vibrant name, it turns out that Bai Shanglu has always remembered this day.

The courtyard where the jade bamboo lives is full of green bamboo, after a spring rain, the washed bamboo forest is transparent and condensed, it looks like a piece of jade from a distance, now it is hidden in the night, the wind lamp in the hand of Bai Shanglu shines all over the bamboo forest, straight like emerald green light.

Although Yuzhu and Bai Shanglu are husband and wife, they live in separate rooms, the two want to see each other, and they have to cross the front yard and the backyard, Bai Shanglu said that it is an old case in the palace, and sometimes he will secretly scold himself for what bullshit old example, which is simply inhumane. He and Yuzhu lived an estranged and polite life, and gradually, it became common for him to see each other for ten days and half a month, and a slight nod after meeting was considered to be affectionate.

"Where's the princess? Bai Shanglu paced a few steps, hesitated and knocked on the door, the door was opened by Yuzhu's personal maid, in Chen Guoshi, Shi Cianming was afraid that Yuzhu would not have a reliable person around to serve, so he left her personal maid behind, and later returned to the former capital of Li State.

"The lord has returned, and the princess has rested. ”

A trace of loss clearly crossed Bai Shanglu's eyes, and even a faint smile was bitter, and he nodded and said, "So, I'll go in and have a look." ”

The maid turned sideways, giving way to the scene of the inner room, the lights in the room were like beans, the night breeze was blowing, the blue of the ground was like a veil of tent moving slightly, the jade bamboo was lying on the couch with her back, and her black hair was scattered on the edge of the bed like a waterfall, and the thin brocade was outlined her slender figure, and she seemed to be a little thinner than when she first returned to her hometown.

Since I saw that famous post, Yuzhu's face has always been as light as still water, sad and joyful, all emotions are not leaked, and life is as boring as a dry well. She looks like this, people have a kind of ominous premonition, there are too many things in life that are not allowed to be like this, can not be like that, if you can't even cry and laugh wantonly, sooner or later you will stay up until it dries up and becomes a dry well.

Bai Shanglu leaned over and wanted to caress her, but his hand was suspended in mid-air, motionless, only a moment's effort, it was quickly retracted into his sleeve, and the hairpin was taken back together, and the rare sad expression flashed, and then retreated silently.

I thought he would leave here, but as soon as the door of this wing was closed, he deflated at the base of the wall, leaning against the porch and motionless like a clay sculpture.

It turned out that Yuzhu was just pretending to sleep, in the dead of night, her voice with the maid was very far away, and she didn't deliberately lower her voice, and her ears naturally listened to it without dropping.
