The night was getting deeper, but Jiang Xiaoman didn't feel sleepy.

Rice wine is not like white wine, it is not intoxicating, and the older the vintage, the more so.

Wine is light wine is not intoxicating, but it warms the stomach, and is most suitable for driving away the cold in the cool night.

He leaned his back on the wheel of the carriage and added new energy to the fire.

The so-called wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk.

Even if you drink sake like rice wine, if you drink it violently, you will get drunk.

The girl surnamed Xiao is like this, a bottle of celadon white bottle can be drunk in two sips.

Even an ordinary man can't stand drinking like this, let alone a girl.

"The beauty in red and the friend in white, the morning and the same song and twilight wine. On the moon, the snow in the cup, drinking a thousand cups of wine with you, dreaming of double flying butterflies. ”

Jiang Xiaoman looked up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, and he whispered in his mouth repeating the lyrics and songs sung by Xiao Yingqing.

"What's the matter? Jiang Daxia, can't you sleep?"

On the other side of the fire, Ji Xiaoyue pillowed her head with her two hands, her voice was very soft, and she was obviously not asleep.

Xiao Tang didn't sleep in the carriage with Miss Xiao, after all, he is now a man, and it would be indescribably charming if the two of them slept in the same compartment.

"What about me, didn't you sleep either?" Jiang Xiaoman put his hand on his knee, turned his head to look at Ji Xiaoyue, and chuckled: "I'm thinking, Miss Xiao's mother, is it really worth waiting for one person for the rest of your life?"

Ji Xiaoyue turned over, her back to the young man on the other side of the fire, she thought about it carefully, blinked her big eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you really like someone, where will you care about what is worth it or not." If you like someone, you like it, even if you wait for a lifetime, you are willing. If you don't like someone, you don't like it, and even a glance at it will feel like a waste of time. Therefore, there is no worthiness or not, only willingness or unwillingness. ”

Nodding, Jiang Xiaoman pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "If, I mean if, then Dugu Zhai already has a wife and children? If Xiao Ying and her mother know, will they feel that they are not good people in heaven?"

The little girl couldn't help but sit up, looked directly at the young man, and asked softly, "Jiang Xiaoman, do you already know the whereabouts of the Dugu Zhai that Miss Xiao is looking for?"

Thinking like her, she can more or less guess it, Jiang Xiaoman must know something when he asks like this.

Jiang Xiaoman smiled, didn't answer directly, avoided Ji Xiaoyue's gaze, stared at the flames on the fire, and said, "Maybe, but I'm not sure if that person is the person Miss Xiao is looking for." ”

"Then why didn't you tell Xiao Ying directly?"

Ji Xiaoyue was puzzled, so she simply stood up and jumped over the fire, and sat down side by side with Jiang Xiaoman to look at him seriously.

This couldn't help but make Jiang Xiaoman scratch his head a little embarrassed, for fear of waking up the sleeping woman in the carriage, and said in a low voice: "However, that Dugu Zhai now has a wife who loves him deeply, and he also has a child as big as me, if I tell Miss Xiao, I feel that it may not be a good thing for her or for Dugu Zhai and his wife and children." ”

"Then Dugu Zhai, it can't be Uncle Jiang Yao, right?" Xiao Tangqi seemed to have grasped the key, a pair of big eyes were in disbelief, looking at the young man and then said quietly: "I said, why did you look at Miss Xiao's eyes after coming down from the mountain, it became more and more wrong......

"Hey, it should, who knows!"

Jiang Xiaoman sighed lightly, added some firewood to the fire, and his voice was a little low.

To be honest, he really didn't know whether he should tell the girl surnamed Xiao about it, and whether he should send a letter home to tell his father or mother.

The word love is too short to say and too long to read, but it is the most unpredictable.

It's not just paper and ink, you can write it all in one stroke.

If you really want to talk to Miss Xiao now, then for your own home in Vermilion Bird City, it will really break the sky.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaoyue with some amusement: "I said Brother Xiaoyue, how do you know my father's name." Like, I didn't tell you, did I?"

"Forehead......" Xiao Tang froze in place, simply didn't say a word, looked up at the sky and smiled: "Didn't you say it?

Jiang Xiaoman raised his eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully: "Oh, that's it? Maybe I really forgot, right?"

The little girl nodded with a straight face: "Yes, that's right!

Jiang Xiaoman didn't care about the careful thinking of these daughters, turned his head and glanced at the carriage, and whispered as if talking to himself: "When I was a child, I remember that my father and mother joked that they wanted to take a concubine and find me a little mother." As a result, guess what my mother said? My mother told her father calmly that I had never objected to my husband taking a concubine. It's just that, for the sake of our husband and wife, I also asked my husband to divorce me first, and then choose a lover who is willing to spoil me for the rest of my life......"

Ji Xiaoyue chuckled, and a pair of big eyes narrowed together: "Aunt Lin Mei is really domineering!"

"Who said it wasn't!" Jiang Xiaoman's mouth turned Yang, nodded slightly, he looked at Ji Xiaoyue, who was happy, and said with a playful smile: "Brother Xiaoyue, I don't seem to have ever told you my mother's name, right?"

Xiao Tang stopped talking, pretending not to hear, looked up at the sky in a daze, pointed to the brightest star, and said happily: "Jiang Daxia, look at that star so bright!"

Rubbing the little girl's head, Jiang Xiaoman looked in the direction she was pointing and said with a smile: "That's Taibai Xing, I heard my father say that Taibai Xing represents the national fortune of the Zhou Dynasty in the Western Regions, if it doesn't light up one day, it means that the luck of the Western Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted." ”

Ji Xiaoyue held her chin, revealing two sharp tiger teeth, and said curiously: "So, is there a star that represents our Southern Regions Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Smart, each of the five regions of Kyushu has a big star that represents the national fortune of each region. Jiang Xiaomanle reached out and pinched the little girl's fleshy face, which made Xiao Tangqian very annoyed, and couldn't help but lose a big eye.

Ji Xiaoyue puffed up and said: "Two big men, like this, if people see it, they really think that this aunt is ...... Childe has a habit of breaking sleeves with you!"

"No one will see this before the village or behind the store, isn't this to express the brotherhood between us!"

Jiang Xiaoman smiled, lazily moved his body to the side of the small hall, and was pushed away by the little girl gritting her teeth.

"Scoundrel!"

Ji Xiaoyue pouted, glared at him with big eyes, stretched out her finger and pointed at the starry sky, and said, "You haven't told me yet, there are so many stars in the sky, which one represents Great Xia?"

Jiang Xiaoman raised his head and pointed to the slightly reddish star next to the moon in the sky and said: "It's that one, it's called Yingchao, also known as the Vermilion Bird Star, it represents the national fortune of our Southern Regions Great Xia Dynasty." Like Taibai, if one day the Glowing Star falls, it means that the national fortune of Great Xia should be exhausted. ”

"Hmm, but why is it so close to the moon?" Ji Xiaoyue nodded, tilted her head and said curiously: "Like Taibai Star, there are many other stars, they are all so bright, but they are so far away from the moon." ”

"Because, Yingfu, it wants to guard and accompany the moon!" Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, stared at the pair of eyes as clear as a lake, and said seriously: "Although, it will disappear during the day." But Glowing has never forgotten her mission, which is to burn herself in the quiet of the night, trying to shine brightly, just to protect the moon. ”

"Then you say, will it always be by the side of the moon?"

"Yes, it will always be by the side of the moon, and it will not change for thousands of years or even hundreds of millions of years. ”

The little girl was pleased with the answer, and giggled, not realizing that her face was red from the fire.

Jiang Xiaoman raised his head, looked at the disc-like moon, and muttered softly: "Tonight, this moon is really round!"

Sharp tiger teeth, shallow dimples.

If the moon in the sky could smile, it should be so beautiful.

Ji Xiaoyue's big eyes looked at the carriage, sighed softly for no reason, stared at Jiang Xiaoman and asked, "Are you going to just keep telling her?"

"Wait until I think about what to say first!" Jiang Xiaoman put away his smile, put one hand on the wheel, and with the other hand, picked up the small half pot of rice wine that was still left on the side, opened the lid and drank it all: "Moreover, it doesn't have to be my father!"

Although he said so, Jiang Xiaoman knew that Dugu Zhai was his father Jiang Yao nine times out of ten.

As Ghost Tiger said, Daddy used this as a name to travel to the Five Regions when he was young.

It must have been to the Middle Domain, and the age can be right.

Fortunately, overhearing that day, Jiang Xiaoman already knew that Xiao Ying was not born to Xiao Shu'er.

Otherwise, there will really be a sensational drama of sister and brother recognizing each other......

If nothing else, he even planned to 'abduct' Xiao Ying to Beiqin first, and then find a way to slowly tell Miss Xiao the truth.

As for the family, it is planned to hide it for as long as possible.

Seeing that the young man was silent, Ji Xiaoyue added some firewood to the fire in the same way as Jiang Xiaoman's movements, and said softly: "However, if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime, right?"

Jiang Xiaoman smiled bitterly: "Let me think about it!"

Filial piety comes first, and when you are a son, you always have to think more about your mother.

If I let my mother know that when my father was young, there was such an inexplicable and confused love debt, maybe what would happen.

No woman would want to share her husband with someone else.

This is true even for a person who is no longer alive.

The so-called knowing son is like a father, and knowing a daughter is like a mother.

The reverse is also true.

Jiang Xiaoman knows his mother's character very well, although every time he jokes with his father, he always seems so calm and calm.

However, the calmer you are, the more you care about it.

If my mother knew about it, I was afraid that it would bury a thorn in her heart.

It may seem like nothing now, but it's been a long time.

When this thorn takes root in the heart, it is not a trivial matter.

"Jiang Xiaoman, have you thought about it, is it unfair to Miss Xiao and her mother when you do this?"

Just as Jiang Xiaoman was in a daze, he was interrupted by Xiao Tang's words.

Ji Xiaoyue looked up at the stars in the sky, and her voice was very soft: "Xiao Ying's mother is very similar to my master, at the beginning, when my master was young, he also entrusted a heart to a Confucian student who said that he was going to Yandi City to take the exam. The scholar's entanglement in the hinterland of the dynasty was all accumulated by my master by setting up a small food stall with a copper plate and a copper plate. But in the end, the person who said that he wanted my master to marry her after he returned from the title of the gold list, more than 20 years have passed, and there is no news. ”

The young man was fascinated when he heard this, and when he saw that the little hall was silent, he couldn't help but ask, "What about later? Didn't your master go to him?"

The little girl crossed her knees and shoulders, her head on her lap, looked at the fire and whispered, "My master is a stubborn temper, and I asked her at the time. But she told me that since he told her to wait, she waited, and he would come back when it was time to return. After my master taught me all the crafts, she left a letter, saying that she wanted to take a walk around the world and take a look at the rest of her mind, and I think she was going to find the person with a negative heart, right?"

The next thing, without Ji Xiaoyue to say, Jiang Xiaoman can guess it.

The green silk turned white, and the empty waited for the lover to return, but he didn't know that he was not a lover.

What if you find it?

The scholar back then was either the title of the gold list and the mountains and roads have forgotten the rivers and lakes since then, or he died in a foreign country and never returned.

In short, after so many years, I have never returned.

That must not be coming back.

"When a woman has no doubt about believing in someone, it will only end up with two outcomes. Either get a lover who is worth entrusting for a lifetime, or use your youth to see how much of a bastard a man can be, and then get a lesson that will be remembered for a lifetime. ”

Ji Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to stir the flames, but she didn't turn her head, but asked softly: "What if Uncle Jiang Yao had something unspeakable at the beginning?" Jiang Xiaoman, do you want your father to be a negative person like that scholar in the eyes of Xiao Ying and her mother?"

Jiang Xiaoman stopped talking and stared at the fire in a daze.

After a long time, he finally nodded, looked at Xiao Tang and said with a smile: "I understand, when I pass by the post station tomorrow, I will send a letter to my family and tell my father." ”

"But!" After a pause, Jiang Xiaoman said slowly: "I will also send a letter to my mother, I think she should also know about my mother's mother." ”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at the young man's serious appearance, and burst out laughing: "Don't worry, Aunt Lin Mei is so generous and kind, she may be angry with Uncle Jiang, but she will never really forgive Uncle Jiang." ”

Jiang Xiaoman pursed his lips and whispered to himself: "You seem to have really seen my mother......"

Ji Xiaoyue tilted her head and smiled, and said in her heart that I had really seen Aunt Lin Mei!

"It's not early, let's rest quickly!"

Seeing her laughing, Jiang Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch Ji Xiaoyue's hairy head.

Nodding, it was rare that she didn't quarrel with the young man, and the little girl said obediently: "Okay, you should rest early!"

In the carriage, the girl surnamed Xiao opened her eyes and gently covered her mouth with her hands, bursting into tears.
