As the night grew thicker, the snoring gradually rose, and the lights of thousands of homes slowly dissipated into darkness.

The family dog who was guarding the gate yard also fell asleep, and only sporadic night insects were singing.

In Meng Ran's room, there was still a small candle lit, like the last ray of light in the world.

Low snoring echoed through the room, and there was a woman's mournful sigh.

She looked at the figure on the bed stupidly, both with admiration and resentment.

The shadow of the candle faded and flickered, and the woman's figure began to trance, fluttering and swaying on the bed as if it were about to fly away at any moment.

With a 'poof', the candlelight dissipated, leaving only a little residual smoke to hover and disperse, and the room was completely plunged into darkness, and the woman's figure was swallowed up by the darkness.

In the darkness, there was only the sound of breathing, a clear and long, and a breath-holding sound.

There was a slight chant in front of the bed, "The stones are like jade, the pines are like emeralds, Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world." I think maybe only the young master is worthy of these four sentences. ”

"Young master, do you know how charming you are? You are independent, never consistent with those laymen, elegant but not weak, powerful but not rude, upright but not rigid, funny but not vulgar, gentle and careful, never lose your temper, polite and gentle like jade. Probably all the good words in this world are not too much for you.

When I was taken to the house, I thought I would be bullied like the unfortunate maids they said, and finally sold to the last of their worth. You have given me hope to live, you are my white moonlight, and you are the one who illuminates my life.

But now that you're leaving, what am I going to do?"

In the dead of night, no one knows what to do.

Maybe after a night, there will be new changes in the world, maybe your sweetheart will leave, maybe he will like you. Sometimes, what we are missing is not the slightest trace of fate, but the courage to boldly show love.

If you don't say it, he will never know, and if you do, even if it doesn't work, then in the years to come, he will think of the girl who was weak and red-faced, but who mustered up the courage to confess to him.

The remnant stars retreat, and the red sun rises in the east.

When the darkness disappeared and the morning light was shining, Xiaolian had already sat at the head of the bed all night and said love words all night.

Perhaps, he will never know how many touching love words she said that past night.

Gradually, the sound of movement outside, the sound of brooms scraping against the ground, the sound of low light coughs.

Xiaolian slowly stood up from the bed, put the stool back in place, and then slipped quietly into her bed, quietly waiting for the call.

I don't know how long it took, but a low call pulled her out of her beautiful fantasy.

"Sister Xiaolian..."

"It's coming. ”

Xiaolian hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, entered Meng Ran's inner room, and asked as usual, "Young Master, do you want to get up?"

"Yes. ”

Dressed and washed, everything is as usual.

After Meng Ran cleaned up everything, he suddenly asked, "Sister Xiaolian, what's wrong with your eyes?

Xiaolian tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I dreamed of my father last night, so I ......"

Meng Ran comforted: "Sister Xiaolian, don't be sad, your father's spirit in the sky will definitely bless you." ”

She just nodded slightly, and did not answer. But in my heart, I kept blaming myself, and in order to lie, I used my father, who I hadn't thought about for a long time, as an excuse, which was really unfilial.

Her face was a little ugly.

"Sister Xiaolian, let's go to the backyard, I'll go and say goodbye. ”

"Good. ”

The young man was full of joy, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and the girl's eyes were full of reluctance.

When she arrived at Mrs. Meng's bedroom, Meng Ran first saluted, and then sat down to chat with her mother.

He mustered up his courage and said, "Mother, the child has thought about it, and plans to rest at home for a while before setting off for Wuliang Mountain. If I am lucky enough to pass the test, I will stay in the Taoist sect to learn art, then in the next few years, I may not see you, if I fail to worship the immortal gate, the child will return to his hometown, and the rest of his life will only accompany his family, and never go out again. ”

Mrs. Meng touched Meng Ran's head, "Since I already promised you yesterday, I naturally won't object." It's just that have you figured out when to leave?"

Meng Ran first glanced at his mother gratefully, and then said, "It's mid-June, and I plan to go out in early July." ”

"Well, you can know it yourself. It's just that Zhang's side is there, how do you explain it? How do you ask Zhang Shibo to resign?"

"The child hasn't figured it out yet. ”

"In that case, I'll take you to Zhang's Mansion for a visit in two days to see your Zhang Shibo's opinion. ”

Meng Ran has nothing to do.

In the next two days, Meng Ran was both expectant and nervous. looked forward to Zhang Jingzong's consent, but he was a little reluctant to his fiancée.

On the third day, halfway through the hour, Mrs. Meng instructed her subordinates to bring gifts, and she took her son to Zhang's mansion together.

In the living room of Zhang's mansion, everyone greeted each other.

Mrs. Meng asked in a tentative tone, "Brother Zhang, Ran'er wants to go out for a trip, I don't know what your opinion is?"

In the past few years, Zhang Jingzong has only become thinner and thinner, but his spirit is still very strong. He glanced at Meng Ran, "Are you a little too young?"

"I'm going to ask Master Geng from my house to go with him. ”

"Master Geng, the master of the nursing home who has good knife skills?"

Mrs. Meng smiled and nodded, "Master Geng has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are also very good, and he is loyal and honest, I plan to let him take Ran'er to have a long experience." ”

Zhang Jingzong stroked his beard and smiled, "This is a good thing." Geng Huyuan has the ability to do it, and I've heard of his personality, so it's not bad to go outside. ”

Mrs. Meng smiled, "Since Brother Zhang also thinks it's okay, then I'll let him go out, so that he won't have anything to do in the house all day, just to make me angry." ”

Zhang Jingzong laughed, turned to look at Meng Ran, and said earnestly: "Ran'er, as long as you are out of Lin'an, everything is different from home, you must be patient in case of trouble, don't play with children's tempers, if you have any problems, please consult Geng Huyuan, he is not only your nursing home, but also your mentor, which can not only protect your safety, but also let you see the way of the world." When you go out, remember to be kind to people and never take things seriously. There are rules in the rivers and lakes, and many times, you just need to look at it coldly, don't be impulsive, don't look at things according to your own standards. When encountering things, just calm down and listen to Master Geng's opinions.

Your mother will take care of everything in the house, and I will help you out, so you don't have to worry.

You have to take good care of yourself, protect yourself, go early and come back early.

In addition, you and Cher have always had a good relationship, you should talk to her more, say goodbye well, and don't make her sad. ”

Meng Ran nodded solemnly, and said: "Ran'er must not forget Shibo's entrustment, and he will definitely return safely." Everything in the house is taken care of by Shibo. ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply.

After Zhang Jingzong received the salute, he patted Meng Ran's shoulder to show relief.

Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting on the side, didn't say anything, but there was a strange feeling between her eyebrows and eyes, which made people very uncomfortable.

After the adults finished their business, they motioned for the children to say goodbye.

In the back garden, Meng Ran and Zhang Miaoxue stood side by side, enjoying each other's breath.

After a while, Zhang Miaoxue asked, "Brother Meng, why do you want to go out and travel?"

"Cher, everything is what my husband meant. I'll tell you the exact reason when I get back, okay?"

Zhang Miaoxue hummed softly, "I'll wait for you to come back, no matter how long." ”

Her cheeks quickly flushed after saying this, and she was beautiful.

Meng Ran looked a little stupid, and his lips leaned over gently.

She didn't dodge, just closed her eyes, looking like she was picking.

The lips touched lightly, and they quickly parted.

Zhang Miaoxue's neck turned pink, and she whispered, "Remember to come back as soon as possible, I'll wait for you at home." ”

With that, he ran away with a shy.

Meng Ran shouted loudly behind him: "Xue'er, when I come back, I will marry you." Wait for me!"

The garden can't be closed in spring, and Lang Qing has two small concubines.

When Meng Ran returned to the living room of Zhang's mansion, Mrs. Meng had already finished gossiping with the Zhang couple, drinking tea and waiting there.

Seeing her son walking out of the back hall, Mrs. Meng asked, "Ran'er, are you done talking to Xiaoxue?"

Meng Ran nodded, "Xue'er has gone back to her boudoir." ”

Then, Mrs. Meng was about to say goodbye and leave, and after Meng Ran and the Zhang couple finished the ceremony, they got up and went out with their mother.

Before the mother and son walked out of the living room, Mrs. Zhang suddenly asked behind her back, "When will Ran'er go out?"

Mrs. Meng turned around and replied with a smile: "The third day of the seventh month." That day Yuan Henry Zhen, everything is suitable for going out. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Jingzong sent the two to the gate, and when he was leaving, he repeatedly instructed: "Ran'er, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are even more evil, you must protect yourself and come back safely, Xue'er is still waiting for you." ”

Meng Ran nodded, "Shibo, you go back." I will be back soon. ”

When Mrs. Meng and Meng Ran boarded the carriage, Zhang Jingzong was still standing outside the gate and watching them, Meng Ran's eyes were slightly moist, although the man in front of him was not his biological father, but he treated him like a parent, and the strong love wrapped him tightly, and tears kept flowing down his cheeks.

The carriage drove slowly, and the carriage was filled with the smell of parting.

Today's farewell may not be able to return until a long time later, but at that time, it is unknown whether the deceased will be the same.

The scenery of the city will be the same as it is today.

There are always many choices to make in life, but you never know what will happen after that choice.

Just as you never know what kind of person or thing you will meet in the future, it will bring you happiness or disaster.

Life is impermanent, white clouds and dogs.

But please believe that everything will be fine in the future.

The person you like will appear, the opportunity you have been waiting for will come, and eventually, life will bow its head to you and bow down to you.
