When Aunt Huang came back that night, I had accepted Xi He's determination.

Although my heart is still ridiculously still swaying and locking, but the Queen Mother's tacit approval seems to be a key to open it, and a slit is slowly and slightly revealed.

I thought, maybe God really took care of me and wanted to give me happiness.

"Maybe you love the emperor brother, after all, he is your husband. But, I hope you forget everything before. From now on, there is no Shen Xihe, no Ling Xuewei. There is only Xie Niang and Xie Lang. I believe you will end. If you can forget him, I believe you will only see me in your eyes."

There was an intoxicating light in Xi He's eyes. I looked at him idiotically, closed my eyes, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

This is not confession, but God, who has arranged my choice for me.

There are two bedrooms in the house where Aunt Huang lives. Before, Aunt Huang and I slept in one room each. Now that Xi He is here, as my husband, he naturally wants to live in the same room with me.

After dinner, when Aunt Huang brought a new quilt and spread it on the bed, I blushed as I watched the red color.

"Auntie, this quilt..." I said softly.

"Since Xie Lang is still alive and found you again, according to my thinking, you are considered newly married at this time. This is what your elder brother used when he married his wife. Only once, I will give it to you." Aunt Huang smiled happily.

"Excuse me, Aunt Huang." Xihe seemed calm.

Aunt Huang smiled at him: "What is the trouble, you guys hurry up and rest." Then she went out.

I was standing in the middle of the room. Aunt Huang’s house was not full and the room was naturally very small. Except for a bed and a wooden table, there is only a small suitcase and two chairs. I looked at Xi He who was sitting on the chair unwrapping the package, then looked at the only bed where I could sleep, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Xihe didn't pay attention to my look, he untied the package and handed me all the silver bills inside.

"You have collected these cash receipts. In the future, you will be in charge." Xi He smiled at me.

I pursed my lips and took it. I didn't count them, but I believe there are a lot of them.

"When I came out, thinking that since I was going to abandon the past, I didn't bring much, only a few clothes and some cash. And this." He said, bringing something in front of me.

I looked at the thing and couldn't help laughing. What he had in hand was the white jade flute that he played for me when he first met me back then.

"Isn't this flute broken?" I took it and looked at it carefully, and there really was a crack.

"It's broken, but I asked the craftsman to fix it." He asked again: "Can you bring out your purple jade Linghua flute?"

I didn't answer, I just looked at the bright moonlight outside the window: "Xihe, can you play a song for me?"

Xihe opened the door and stood in the courtyard, and played a song "Pinghu Autumn Moon", I walked to him quietly, and played with him with the purple jade Linghua flute in my hand.

"The moon and the moon are radiant, the Ming river is in the shadows, and the surface and the inside are clear. The heart will be leisurely, but the beauty is difficult to talk to the king. Ying Nian Linghai years, lonely light, the liver and gallbladder are all ice and snow. Take the Xijiang River, pour the Beidou, Vientiane For the guests. I do not know what eve will be."

...

He looked back and smiled at me, and I responded to him with the same smile.

The moonlight was shining all over the ground, and only the soft and happy tunes in the wind could be heard for a long time.

"Vil," he took my hand, I hesitated, but didn't break free.

"Am I dreaming? Can I be with you like this?" Xi He stared at my eyes, his eyes swaying my heart.

"Xihe, am I dreaming again?" I muttered.

"If it's a dream, it's okay, I don't want to wake up again." He whispered in my ear.

I leaned on his shoulder: "I would also like to be with you in this dream."

"It's late at night, let's go in." He embraced me lightly and went into the room together.

I did not go to sleep immediately, but sat under the lamp and carefully mended the apricot-colored silk garment. Under my hand was embroidered with a small petal, water-red color, with a tiny fork on the top of the petal, like a heart, look. It looks soft and supple. I embroidered a cluster carefully, just to patch and modify the broken pattern.

"Ville, what are your plans for the future?" Xihe looked at the embroidery work in my hand and suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go to Jiangnan?"

He thought for a while and said, "We can take a boat down to the south of the Yangtze River before it is winter. We can set up some fields and find some tenants to plant. I will also build a big house for you. Go to the peach blossom and plum trees. It is better to have a pond behind the house and we plant lotus. In this way, there are beautiful scenery to see at all times. You don't have to do anything. Although life is not as good as before, I will make you happy. "

His eyes are bright and his tone is firm. I believe that he will accomplish the promise he made.

However, I smiled slightly and didn't answer Xi He directly, just leaned under the lamp and carefully collected the pins.

Suddenly, his eyes were much brighter, raised his head, Xihe held another lamp and approached him. Seeing me looking at him, his long eyelashes blinked and gave me a warm smile. The heart rippled away, as if there were soft and small ripples in the lake, but it didn't go away for a long time.

He lowered his head and said slowly while closing the stitches: "When did I say that I was going to Jiangnan?"

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked up at him.

Xihe was staring at the embroidery on my hand, his brows frowned: "This embroidery is complicated and delicate, so how can your eyes stand the light?"

I smiled lightly: "This is what Huang Aunt wants urgently. It should be returned to Master Li tomorrow, I will make it up anyway tonight."

Rubbing the finely patterned bumps with her hands: "It will be patched up soon. Aunt Huang went to my son's house, and I took advantage of this time to patch it up. Otherwise, she would not allow me to stay up all night."

Xihe said: "Aunt Huang is not allowed, am I allowed?"

But the candlestick is still being held by my side, and the surroundings are much brighter.

I sew up quickly, and then slowly said: "My mother is a woman from a large family in Jiangnan. Although she later married her father, she often missed her hometown. When I was young, I went back to my grandparents' home in Jiangnan with my mother. But the fresh and elegant scenery along the way and the simple and natural folk customs deeply impressed me."

I stopped with my hands, closed my eyes, and the scenery that had been deeply imprinted in my mind when I was a child appeared before my eyes.

With a soft smile, I recalled: "That time was spring, and I saw a beautiful place on the way. The scenery there was bright, the willows and apricots would spit, the peach blossoms and willows, the scenery was amazing. The front was green and the water was leaning back. Qingshan. Under the mountain is a long peach blossom Yaoyao, with boundless fragrance."

I recalled the beautiful scenery and continued: "My heart was taken away by the scenery with just one glance. Although there was only one glance, it became the place of all my dreams afterwards. I have been looking forward to one day when I can sit. Among the fragrant peaches and plums, watch the Qu Shui Lan boat in front of you."

I laughed, the endless laughter rippled across my face, and even just thinking about it, I would feel extremely happy and satisfied.

There seemed to be stars in Xihe's eyes, so bright and radiant. He looked at me blankly: "You are going there."

I nodded: "As smart as Shen Xiyao, if he really wants to find me, he must take two paths. One is the illusion I set up to confuse him, and go northwest. After all, my second brother is there. The other , It is Jiangnan. I am alone, and I will definitely go to my family. My third brother is doing business in Jiangnan. Then the only place I can go is Jiangnan."

I half-squinted my eyes and laughed: "The place in my heart is just a tip of the dust of this boundless river and mountains. He can't find it, and no one knows."

After I finished speaking, I raised my face and looked at Xi He, and said, "Except you..."

Xi He looked at me, slowly constricting his smile on his face. He said to me seriously and solemnly: "Where you go, I will go wherever you go. What you want is what I want to get."

At dawn, I handed over the patched clothes to Aunt Huang. Although it was embroidered according to the clothes in my palace, the color and texture of the silk thread were not as good as those in the palace after all, and the time was rushed.

However, for civilians, it is also a piece of costume.

Aunt Huang caressed the embroidery carefully, even to tears.

She looked at me for a long time and said, "Xie Niang, I really didn't expect you to have such a good craftsmanship. I have never seen this embroidery, auntie."

I took her arm and smiled softly and said, "Auntie, take it to Master Li, you won't be able to delay it."

Aunt Huang nodded and packed the clothes she had washed before in a package before walking to the door. She turned her head to look at me, thought for a moment and asked: "Xie Niang, your husband is back, are you going back to your hometown?"

I didn't expect that she would ask such a question, but didn't know how to answer it for a while, but quietly lowered her head.

Aunt Huang's voice sounded a little bit of reluctance: "Auntie knows that I can't keep you, but if you go down to the south of the Yangtze River, the day will immediately cool down. If it snows, you can't take the waterway, and the dry road is too far. Why don't you live here? By the beginning of spring next year?"

I looked into Aunt Huang’s eyes with expectation in her eyes, and I smiled at her: "Auntie, this matter has to be considered for a long time. Now my body has not fully recovered, I will definitely disturb you for some time. Yes." Aunt Huang nodded, then glanced at Xi He who was standing by the door. He also nodded gently: "Aunt Huang, I have to trouble you for a while."

Aunt Huang waved her hand: "What is this, you are here, my old lady is happy." After saying that, she seemed to be relieved a little, and turned to the town.

I walked back to the room, Xi He stood by the door looking at me with a haggard face and said, "You haven't slept all night, go and rest for a while. No matter where you go, when you go, we will discuss it when we get up."

I was never a sleepy person, and it was not midday when I woke up. But there was no one in the surrounding area. It seems that Xihe here yesterday was just a dream for me.

I got up in my clothes, Aunt Huang went to the town, and couldn't come back until evening. However, there is clearly Xihe's black cloak on my body.

The south side of Aunt Huang’s house is a stove for cooking, the middle is considered to be the hall, and the north side is two bedrooms for rest. The house is very small and is the most ordinary farmhouse. There is a small courtyard in front of the house with a stone mill and a well.

I searched for a few times in front of and behind the house, but I didn't see Xi He's figure. I couldn't help feeling anxious when I didn't see him until midday passed. There are worries again, where did he go?

When I was about to go out to ask questions in the village, I saw Xi He and a man approaching here. Looking closely, the man was the son of Aunt Huang.

"Xie Niang, a bison came in from the village the night before and destroyed a lot of crops. I came to tell my mother not to go to the fields, but by coincidence she has already gone to the town. No, when I met Brother Xie, he went to help. We will increase our hands."

Aunt Huang's son smiled honestly, looked at Xi He gratefully, and said complimentingly: "We drove the bison and injured it before. The bison went crazy and everyone didn't dare to come near. But thank you brother for coming. He shot the bison to death with just two arrows, his skill is really good!"
