Chapter 6: The Promise of Youth

Xiang'er pulled Wen Peng and walked outside, but Wen Peng was a little restrained and shy.

As he grew older, Wen Peng's behavior of children often holding hands seemed a little unnatural.

Xiang'er didn't care about this, and when she left the house, she pulled him and ran up. There are many peach trees planted outside the door, although the season of flowers has passed, the fragrance of the leaves is still intoxicating, the birds on the trees are singing lowly, and the wind gently touches them, and the fragrance feels very comfortable.

Half a pillar of incense, around the hillside behind the house, they sat down under a maple tree, the dense maple leaves blocked the early summer sun, the sound of the maple leaves was particularly beautiful.

Wen Peng felt that Xiang'er was a little weird today.

"What's the matter today, Miss. Are you playing tricks on your old pedant again?" Wen Peng laughed.

Xiang'er often does this kind of prank. Once, the old gentleman asked Xiang'er to endorse the book, but he dozed off.

Xiang'er secretly spent a portrait of a turtle with pen and ink, and deliberately drew a long beard of the turtle and secretly pasted it on the back of her husband.

For this reason, Xiang'er was also punished by her father, and sincerely apologized to her husband. Fortunately, the old gentleman was willing to continue to teach after the sincerity of Mr. Xiao, who respected the teacher.

"Where is it, I am a model of respecting teachers. Xiang'er deliberately put on a straight face and glared at Wen Peng angrily, Wen Peng was confused.

Xiang'er suddenly asked, "If I leave here one day, will you miss me?"

Wen Peng didn't think about it, and replied casually: "Of course I will miss you." After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiang'er was secretly happy in her heart, a smile appeared on her face, sweet dimples hung on her cheeks, Wen Peng looked at the dimples stupidly, he couldn't figure out when he liked to look at Xiang'er's dimples, he just thought it was very good-looking.

However, Xiang'er pursed her lips instead, picked up the grass on the ground, sighed, and talked about the conversation between her parents in the past few days.

Xiang'er told Wen Peng that the family was about to move to Suzhou Mansion recently, and Yanyuzhuang didn't know when they would be able to return.

When she said this, her heart became even more uncomfortable, as if she was going to leave tomorrow.

Xiang'er was reluctant to leave here, the grass and trees here, the scene of playing with her friends when she was a child, and Wen Peng carrying her on her back......

The scenes seemed to be re-enacted, and Xiang'er fell into deep thought.

Wen Peng looked at Xiang'er in a daze, and sighed himself, Xiang'er came back to her senses and laughed, "Idiot, what are you sighing for?"

"When you grow up, it's not fun, so many worries. It would be great if we could still play together every day. After speaking, he fell into confusion.

He didn't understand why Xiang'er had to move away because she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. Wen Peng didn't know what to do with Xiang'er when she was gone. He just felt that they were growing up, and the time for their friends to play together became less and less.

Only Xiang'er came to see him from time to time, although he liked to read, but he always hoped that Xiang'er would come to him. Talk to him, play with him, tell him about the outside world.

Xiang'er often traveled with her father and went to many places, such as Suzhou Mansion, Hangzhou City, Yangzhou Mansion, and even the capital. Xiang'er will tell him about the strange things outside, and will bring him a lot of delicious and interesting things. If he can't see Xiang'er, Wen Peng doesn't know how to spend his days.

Wen Peng couldn't help but lie on the grass, staring at the blue sky in a daze.

Xiang'er looked at Wen Peng's appearance, her heart jumped up, and the sudden feeling made her face a little crimson.

Xiang'er thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Then do you want to see me in the future?" Wen Peng turned his head and looked at Xiang'er just in the same eye.

"Of course I do, when you're gone, there's no one to talk to me, no one to tell me about the outside, and no one to get me something delicious. Wen Peng's face was unhappy and aggrieved.

"You're a pig, thinking about it all day. Xiang'er was a little angry. As he spoke, he poked Wen Peng's head with his finger. Wen Peng didn't dodge, just stared at Xiang'er's eyes, at this time, it seemed that a deer was hitting his heart.

Xiang'er thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "Brother Wen Peng, do you remember what we said when we were at home before." ”

Wen Peng said that he remembered.

"Then tell me again, I forgot. Xiang'er lowered her head, avoiding Wen Peng's gaze.

"Xiao Yu'er is not ashamed, marry a daughter-in-law, no one wants it, carry Xiang'er on the sedan chair. Wen Peng stammered.

Xiang'er laughed instead, and the laughter made Wen Peng shy.

"Brother Wen Peng, remember what you said to me before, when you win the champion, come and pick me up. After Xiang'er finished speaking, she got up quickly and ran down the mountain. When Wen Peng reacted, Xiang'er had already run out for some distance.

Wen Peng hurriedly stood up and chased out. Xiang'er looked back as she ran.

Wen Peng ran forward desperately, caught up, took Xiang'er's hand, the two stopped, Wen Peng looked at Xiang'er affectionately, and said seriously: "Xiang'er, no matter where you are at the end of the world, I will marry you." I will marry you in a sedan chair. ”

Xiang'er felt numb all over her body, lowered her head, and said shyly: "Who wants your eight-carrying sedan chair, I want you to carry it on your back to marry me." ”

Xiang'er continued: "Brother Wen Peng, I will wait for you, until you come to marry me, I will not marry you in this life." ”

Wen Peng was a little moved: "Xiang'er, I, Murong Wenpeng, will not marry you in this life." ”

Xiang'er took out Wen Peng's clenched hand, pulled open her sleeves, took out a jade bracelet from her wrist, and held it in her hand, but saw that the bracelet was crystal clear, green and transparent, and the yellow dragon head coiled around it.

Xiang'er said to Wen Peng: "This is a relic left to me by my mother, it is a pair of jade bracelets, I keep that one, and this one is for you." ”

Xiang'er pulled up her other hand, and the same jade bracelet appeared on her wrist, but that one was the head of the phoenix standing proudly.

Wen Peng was stunned, he didn't know what Xiang'er was going to do with this for a while.

Everything came so suddenly that everything was unprepared.

But in front of this jade bracelet, he was at a loss.

He didn't know whether he should accept this expensive gift, although he was young, but he was well-read, Wen Peng still understood that the things of dragons and phoenixes were very valuable and could be worn by very many people.

Wen Peng suddenly fell into a deep inferiority complex again, he felt that he was not worthy of Xiang'er, but he was just a hairy child in the mountain village.

Seeing Wen Peng in a daze, Xiang'er seemed to have an understanding, and said with a smile: "Fool, this is a token, understand? “

Listening to Xiang'er's words, Wen Peng took the jade bracelet. Wen Peng still mustered up his courage and said, "Xiang'er, your family will object, after all, the book says that you have to be the right person." “

"Idiot, which book says it. As long as the two of us are willing, exchange tokens, who can stop us. It's a big deal that I'll elope with you. Xiang'er said firmly. After speaking, Xiang'er raised her little thumb again, her eyes staring at Wen Peng affectionately.

Wen Peng raised his head and also stretched out his little thumb, and the two fingers hooked together.

"Hanging on the hook will not change for a hundred years. Xiang'er was about to turn around and leave, Wen Peng said, "Wait." ”

He took off a jade pendant from his neck, and then slowly tied it around Xiang'er's neck, "This is what my mother has worn for me since I was a child, and now I give it to you, when I see it, I will be by your side and accompany you." ”

Xiang'er lowered her head, looked at the jade pendant, raised her hand, and gently stroked the jade pendant, and could vaguely feel the residual temperature on it. Xiang'er was secretly happy, hurriedly turned around, and put the jade pendant in her clothes.

Xiang'er turned around and pulled Wen Peng, and the two said as they walked.

Wen Peng insisted on sending Xiang'er until it was delivered to the back door of Xiang'er's house, and Xiang'er sneaked back to the yard with Wen Peng's help.
