From time to time there was a breeze blowing in the mountains, the two of them led their horses to the mountain one after the other, the surrounding trees looked very tall, lush, and green grass under the trees.

The mountain road is not winding, the path is not wide but not narrow, there are still some green grass and wild flowers on both sides of the mountain road, and you can still hear the sound of birds from time to time when you walk on the mountain road.

In front of the small courtyard, the two tied their horses to the waist of an unlucky tree in front of the small courtyard, Miao Xiushu tied her horse, and walked to the front of the small courtyard with steps, first knocked on the courtyard door outside the small courtyard, and then called two aunts, and the voice sounded more beautiful in this mountain forest.

The Mingyue monk in the courtyard had already heard the sound, opened the bamboo curtain and rushed over and opened the courtyard door again.

She was wearing a plain gray robe, and the green silk was pulled up with a white hosta, which was not beautiful, but gave people a very quiet and gentle feeling.

Miao Xiushu, who saw her, smiled meekly at her, the pear vortex was deep and quiet, and she greeted her again.

Mingyue Jushi Qiu Yin liked Miao Xiushu very much, and when she saw that it was her, she hurriedly welcomed people in, and looked behind her, Ying Ying came to Fan Wenshu, Fan Wenshu also saluted her, she also smiled and nodded, and led Miao Xiushu and the two into the small courtyard together.

There is a swing in the small courtyard, and there is a bamboo rocking chair, next to the bamboo rocking chair there are two bamboo round stools, in front of the round bench there is a bamboo square table, on the table is a teapot teacup.

Qiu Yin beckoned Miao Xiushu to sit down, Fan Gongzi didn't follow again, he only leaned on the door frame of the small courtyard, as if he thought of something, made an excuse, said to look around first, and left.

Qiu Yin saw that there was no longer Fan Gongzi in the courtyard, and she was sitting on the rocking chair, so she first made a pot of tea for Miao Xiushu, and only after Miao Xiushu drank the tea did she speak, "Xiushu, I went down the mountain yesterday." ”

Yesterday, she personally went down the mountain to buy some things, and when she was drinking tea in the small shop, she overheard some people talking about Xiushu and Fan Gongzi, and she also heard that Fan Gongzi had already decided to be married~

Miao Xiushu tilted her head, frowned slightly, and said, "Aunt Yin, did you go down the mountain and hear the rumors between me and Fan Gongzi?"

Miao Xiushu had already changed her words and respected her as an aunt.

Qiu Yin, nodded.

"Aunt Yin, Fan Gongzi and I have always been friends. ”

Qiu Yin looked at her, and it didn't look like she was lying, not to mention that every time she saw that Fan Gongzi sent her over, it didn't look like there was something wrong with them.

But the crowd at the bottom of the mountain talked about the two of them, and the rumors were too ugly.

She sighed and said, "I don't believe it either, I just want to ask you in person." ”

Miao Xiushu nodded, and said again: "I know that the rumors spoken by those people are not good, but Fan Gongzi and I are indeed just friends, and I have always been... I've always treated him as a friend. ”

Qiu Yin looked at her, nodded again, thought of something, and then spoke: "I have seen many young ladies before, some of them are not beautiful, but they can carry it clearly, and in the end they are all doing well. ”

Qiu Yin paused and said, "I heard that Fan Gongzi has already made a marriage." ”

The Xiushu in front of her is delicate, gentle and moving, her voice is beautiful and pleasant, and she is also born with a blue heart, if it weren't for her poor background, what kind of man wouldn't be worthy.

But even if his background is a little worse, he shouldn't have made so many rumors with the eldest son of a long-term family who has made a marriage, and the trouble is almost all over the city, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Yesterday, she listened to gossip after going down the mountain, all about Miao Xiushu, Fan Gongzi and Xuan Gongzi.

She listened to it in her heart, heard about the matter of Xuan Gongzi and her, thought about it, and felt a little sorry for her, but she wanted to beat her again.

This woman needs to know what to do and what not to do.

Some things in the past, in the past, will be forgotten, since they can't be changed, then they can only be accepted calmly.

Miao Xiushu was stunned for a moment, and her brows furrowed.

Yes, he is already married.

Qiu Yin glanced at her expression, and then said, "Let's just live our future lives." With a faint smile on her face, she looked at Miao Xiushu.

Miao Xiushu was stunned again, and then laughed again.

Yes, just live your life well in the future.

Many things instantly came to her mind, and most of them were about the man named Xuanzhang.

Thinking of that person's face, I sighed in my heart, in the end, it was the past~

In the past, she liked Xuanzhang, she was ignorant when she was young, she fell in love at first sight, and she was shy and entangled, and finally she showed her heart, but she didn't think about it, and Xuanzhang also liked her.

Later, the two also fell in love and sweetness for a long time.

It's a pity that time flies, and people's hearts are fickle.

Later, the quarrel between the two became more and more serious, and he was no longer considerate and gentle, and he obeyed the family's arrangement and married the young lady who was the right person.

Pity her at that time, she did some stupid things, and tried her best to save him, and even had no choice, and wrote a letter to Fan Gongzi who was traveling abroad, and the letter was extremely depressed and painful, as if Fan Gongzi didn't rush back to help her, she would die immediately.

But later, she and Na Xuanzhang, the two still broke off.

This mountain range on the outskirts of the city is connected by mountains and mountains, and it is undulating.

If you go deep into the mountains, the mountainside will twist and turn, and there are also mountain hunters who often lie in ambush somewhere in the mountains, waiting to shoot their prey.

In the deep valley, there is always a mist, and the mist looks a little unpredictable.

The place where Qiu Yin lives, if you really talk about it, is not such a steep and hidden halfway up the mountain.

The wind blows in the courtyard from time to time, there is a towering tree next to the courtyard, which covers most of the sunlight in the courtyard, even in summer, sitting in this courtyard and drinking tea, it will not be very hot, the temperature in the mountain is cooler, and a breeze blows from time to time, which is very comfortable.

Miao Xiushu and Qiu Yin chatted about other things.

Fan Gongzi, who had been turning around halfway up the mountainside, found a big tree in the sky, a shady place under the umbrella, sat down at will, and then lay down again, put his arms behind his head, and closed his eyes to rest.

It was not bad to lie like this in the mountains and forests, and from time to time there was a bird cry in his ears, but he would not feel noisy, and the breeze blew gently, and caressed his handsome cheeks, and he closed his eyes and remembered the candied fruit.

I knew that when he left, he should have brought the candied fruit, and if he ate one here, it would be very good.

Thinking of the sweet candied fruit, he thought of An Yue again.

An Yue, An Yue, if she was here......

After waiting for a while, the dusk in the mountains came very quickly, and before he knew it, Fan Gongzi opened his eyes, looked at the sky, got up again, and wandered to the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, Miao Xiushu also saw that it was not early, and saw that Fan Gongzi was back again, so she got up and said goodbye to Qiu Yin.

The two of them untied the handsome horses tied to the waist of the tree one after the other, and led them down the mountain, which was inconvenient for riding.

There was a breeze in the mountains again, and it was cool for the two of them.

Miao Xiushu thought of what she said to Aunt Yin today, she looked at the man who was leading the horse in front, thought for a while and said, "Aunt Yin asked me today, the rumors between us~"

The man walking in front heard her voice, but he didn't stop, "Whatever they say~"

Miao Xiushu nodded, glanced at the man in white in front of her, and thought of another man in white in her mind, "I also mentioned the matter of Xuanzhang~"

There was a faint sadness in her eyes, Fan Gongzi still didn't look back, led the horse and continued to walk, avoiding her topic, and said lightly: "Let's hurry up and go down the mountain, it'll be late in a while~"

Miao Xiushu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised and a little habitual, looking at his back farther and farther away.

After coming back to her senses, she continued to lead the horse and walk behind him, and when she was almost at the bottom of the mountain, she suddenly said: "You are not the same as before~"

When Fan Gongzi heard this, he stopped, looked at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, and said lightly: "I, or me~"

It's just that over the years, the mentality has slowly changed, and the people in my heart may also have slowly changed.

Hearing him say this, the corners of Miao Xiushu's mouth showed bitterness.

A woman's mind is probably the most delicate, and if you don't treat her as she used to, she only needs to take a closer look at it, and she will be able to detect it.

He used to comfort her when he heard her talk about the proclamation, and he comforted her when she spoke of rumors between them.

But now, he doesn't seem to care at all, and not only that, it's been two years since he's been back, and he's been looking for himself more often these days.

She sighed softly, is it different?

And those candied fruits, she doesn't like to eat them, but he doesn't know how many times he has bought them recently, and when he asks him, it's always the reason.

And a few days ago he gave himself a plain peach blossom silver hairpin, she obviously likes plum blossoms, not peach blossoms, has he forgotten?

Or did he not forget, but he didn't care?

Is it because he and Miss Cui are married?

So there is no place for her in my heart?

Miao Xiushu sighed and said, "Do you like it, Miss Cui?"

Why do you like it?

Fan Gongzi stood in front and didn't move, and he glanced back at Miao Xiushu behind him after half a ring.

Like?

Do you like Miss Cui's family?

What does it mean to like?

Who's going to tell him?

This family affair was handled by his mother, if he didn't comply, his mother would want to force him to die, and swore that he would only force him to marry Miss Cui this time.

After half a year of marriage, he didn't even remember what Miss Cui looked like, and even on the day of the marriage, he only glanced at Miss Cui from a distance.

The dusk in the mountains became faster and faster, and suddenly, the sky was much darker, and the shadows of the surrounding mountains and trees began to dim, and the two did not speak again.

Quietly, as if something had fallen with the twilight.

Miao Xiushu stood behind him and looked at him.

Suddenly, he felt sad and depressed, and the man in front of him was still graceful and handsome.

But I don't know when it started, it seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.

She knew that she couldn't say that she liked him, and she also knew that she only treated him as a friend, but after so many years, she had long been accustomed to his company and care.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it seemed that one day, he would no longer accompany her, and he would no longer take care of herself.

Is it because of the engagement?

Thinking that he wants other women to marry, and also to take care of and accompany other women, she always has a strange feeling in her heart, this strange taste can't be said, and she can't swallow it, but it doesn't look like pain.

This mountain range is not far from Dengzhou City, and the two of them saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, so they had to hurry up to Dengzhou City again.

Nafan Mansion is directly south of Dengzhou Street, the yard is not big or small, but the scenery is chic and beautiful.

The courtyard of Mrs. Fan's house is the most luxurious, her room is not only full of strange treasures, but also hangs a few masterpieces of calligraphy and painting, it is said that those are Mrs. Fan's own dowry, which was brought by Mrs. Fan when she followed Master Fan to Dengzhou in the past.

The vermilion gate of Fan's mansion was opened and closed, and a man dressed in white looked at the sky, passed through the corridor, where the red lanterns hung in the cloister were lit for lighting, and he passed through the three pendulum gatehouses, and then passed by the courtyard with carved beams and paintings, and then through the verandah, and then entered his own courtyard.

His courtyard was decorated with exotic flowers and plants on both sides, and the man entered the main room again, and soon a maid came forward to serve. A small servant in the courtyard quietly glanced at his son-in-law and entered the main room, and immediately hurried to Mrs. Fan's courtyard~

The news that the son had returned home soon reached the ears of the maid in Mrs. Fan's courtyard, and then reached the ears of Mrs. Fan, who was sitting on the soft couch in the main room, listened to the news, put down the book in her hand, called someone, and said, "Go, invite the son over." ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The eldest girl in the room listened to Mrs. Fan's words, and hurriedly answered by exiting the main room and going to the outside room to tell the errand boy to invite the eldest son.

After a while, Fan Gongzi got the news, and ordered the maid to serve him, changed into a clean robe, and came to Mrs. Fan's room, and respectfully asked for peace.

Madame Fan waved her hand, and the maids in the room retreated in a funny way, and only after the crowd had retreated, did Mrs. Fan raise her head again and look at Fan Wenshu, who was already sitting on the carved rosewood chair on the left.

She said, "You went to look for the girl from the Miao family again this morning?"

Fan Wenshu only smiled and did not reply to his mother's words. I looked at the ornaments in my mother's room again, and looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the opposite wall.

"You have already made a marriage, there are some things that should be paid attention to, if you do this, where will Miss Cui be?"

Fan Wenshu lowered his head and did not speak.

"I always don't understand my mother, so what is it about the girl of the Miao family who is worthy of you?"

Fan Wenshu lowered his head, raised his head again, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, I know my own affairs." ”

"You know?"

Mother Fan put one hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, her duck egg face thought of her only son and the surname Miao, and sighed three times in a row, she wore a bright jade glass hairpin on her head, a silver hairpin inlaid with beads, and a silver silk double buckle inlaid with rubies swaying, swaying with her movements.

"How do you know?"

"Since you agreed to marry Miss Cui, you should have the responsibility of a husband. ”

Mrs. Fan stroked her chest with her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clerical, it's not your mother who forced you to marry a girl you don't like~"

"If Miss Miao is willing to marry you, that's it, your mother is not such an unreasonable person, even if she has a poor background, you marry her, as long as you can study with peace of mind and gain fame, I will agree~"

"But she doesn't want to marry you. ”

"Your mother and I, I didn't want to talk about this, but I really can't stand it, is it worth it to make such a fuss for a woman who doesn't like you?"

Only Mrs. Fan's voice could be heard in the room, and Fan Gongzi hung his head and didn't say anything.

"I originally thought that you were married, and you were going to get married, and those things would pass before~"

"But what are you doing?"

Mrs. Fan was a little hurt by her own only son's anger, she was such a child, why didn't she want to give him the best.

Fan Gongzi raised his head, glanced at his mother, and said helplessly: "Mother, the child knows his own affairs, and I have always wanted to make decisions myself." ”

"You~hey~"

"Mother said she didn't care about her background, but did she really care?"

Fan Wenshu knew in his heart that his mother's temperament.

Fan's mother stopped talking when she was asked.

She really cares in her heart, she married into the Fan family back then, and she was the right person.

The knowledge she has received, male marriage and female marriage, should be the right family.

But Nacheng thought that she had held it in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and her proud son not only didn't care about the family, but also made trouble in the city for a poor and talented girl~

What's even more odious is that the daughter of the poor and sour Xiucai family still looks down on the son she has been proud of since childhood~

Isn't that to her off?

She's angry and hateful.

thought that if he went out to study, the matter would pass, but Nacheng thought that a few years later, Miao Xiushu called back her son in a letter.

Okay, call it back, call it back.

Fortunately, he went out less often, and after another year, she took a fancy to a young lady and wanted to match that young lady with her only son.

What she didn't expect was that her son, for a Miao girl, was like this?

"Don't go out these days, study at home. ”

As soon as Fan's mother thought of these things about her son, she became angry.

It seems that the family matter can't be delayed any longer, if it drags on any longer, she doesn't know if it will be like that again, she has to discuss with the Cui family to advance the marriage.

The two mothers and sons chatted a few more words, and Fan Gongzi withdrew.

As soon as Fan Wenshu walked on the front foot, Master Fan entered the lady's courtyard with his back foot, and when he entered the main room, he happened to see the big girl next to the lady pressing his forehead on his wife, and said with some concern: "What's uncomfortable here?"

"Don't~" Mrs. Fan opened her eyes, waved her hand, and the big and little maids in the room retreated together, and gently closed the door again.

Master Fan walked to his wife's side and sat on the soft floor together, and said softly, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Fan sighed and complained, "It's not because of your son. ”

"Did he annoy you again?" Master Fan reached out and patted his wife's shaved shoulder, and said comfortingly: "You just let him go, don't care about him anymore." ”

Mrs. Fan leaned her head on her husband, and said with some grievances: "I don't expect him to have a good future, for a woman to make such a fuss, I don't want anything for my future reputation, and I have only seen him." ”

"Don't think about it, he is helpless. ”

"Hey, it's good that he is married, or let the clerk and Miss Cui's family affairs advance, so as not to have many dreams at night~"

She directly ignored the "helplessness" that her husband said, she thought that the helplessness he said was just because the clerk loved Miao Xiushu?

"Listen to you~" Master Fan said with relief.

He and his wife are childhood sweethearts, the two families have a lot of contacts, and they have decided to marry after adulthood, and they have been married for several years, and there is only her wife in the backyard of Fanfu, and there is not even a concubine to have a room.

If you talk about life, in Dengzhou, there is no house owner who has the comfort she has had, the husband and wife are harmonious, the husband is loved, and the son is young and won the lift, and the future is immeasurable.

But her son ruined all her comfortable days, and every time she thought about it, it made her angina.

This son, who she thought had ruined all her comforts, had his own yard, and a group of maids came forward to serve him to rest, and he lay on the carved Luo bed, staring at the bed curtain, silent.

The curtain of the bed was peach-colored, echoing the color of the carved Luo bed, and he closed his eyes.

Many things come to mind.

In the past, he thought that a girl complained to himself, showed weakness to himself, played with himself, and was extremely gentle with himself...... She had him in her heart.

But she told him in person that she had always regarded him as a confidant and friend, and the person in her heart was Xuanzhang.

At that moment, it seemed how ridiculous he was.

Come to think of it.

Another figure came to his mind, the girl in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

That girl, she and he used to get along like a fairy couple.

There is even a skin-to-skin relationship, and they also sleep in the same bed~

The funny thing is that she embroidered the purse, didn't it go to the arms of other men?

That's a purse!

What else did you say you had ever liked?

Did you change your mind?

Fan Gongzi reached out and pressed his forehead.

Is this the case again?

But he really didn't want to hear An Yue say, she only regarded him as a confidant and friend, and the person in her heart was someone else.
