The horse's temper is getting bigger, Xiao Hong likes to fall on his head and pecking its mane, Xiao Lan runs in the yard and knocks people over. Ye Mingyu complained several times, saying that it was Jiang Li that they really doted on Xiaolan and Xiaohong. Jiang Li didn't laugh. After all, Xiaolan and Xiaohong were left behind by Ji Heng. When Ji Heng was not there, they had no fears anymore. , Acting presumptuously, but... Jiang Li occasionally thinks, I don’t know if Xiaolan and Xiaohong sometimes think of their masters, and feel that losing that touch of red in the Guogong’s mansion is like losing a soul. No bright and bright appearance in the past.
In the evening, everyone was going to stay together to keep the year old, Wen Renyao suddenly said without thinking, "Last time we also kept the year old with the second lady."
Everyone was taken aback, Ye Mingyu squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you mean? How could Ali stay with you, can Jiang Yuanbo promise? Are you dreaming or sleeping confused? Don't talk about it everywhere, it's broken us Family Ali’s reputation." He drew the knife from his waist aggressively, and drew it to the ground, "Huh!"
Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan realized something and looked at Jiang Li inquiringly.
Jiang Li couldn't help but laughed with a "pouch", thinking that it was late at night, Zhao Ke ran out of Jiang's mansion under her care, and Baba went to the scene where General Ji roasted venison. With a ridiculous smile, the smile faded, and I just felt very sad.
That rough, joyous, and direct feast turned out to be their first and last Chinese New Year together. She still remembered every clear picture, every word that Old General Ji and Ji Heng said, but the person was no longer there. I thought there would be countless days like this in the future, but I didn't expect it would come to an abrupt end like this.
Situ Jiuyue glared at Wen Renyao. Wen Renyao saw Jiang Li's face, as if he had only realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately covered up the wine cup in front of him and said, "I think we'd better make a toast first! Happy new year everyone!"
Everyone toasted to celebrate. When no one saw Jiang Li holding the wine glass close to his lips, he said softly.
She said, "Happy new year, Ji Heng."
As soon as the waiting time was over, everyone felt tired and went back to sleep. Jiang Li feels tired too, but more often, she feels that she can't sleep because of the multitude of clues in her heart. The more so, the more she thought of Ji Heng. I always felt that if Ji Heng was still alive and came back, what would it be like tonight, at least this night, would not make her feel so cold.
She fumbled a fan from the neck close to her body. The butterfly fan pendant, let her meticulously repair it, finally looked the same as before. She made the fan pendant into a necklace and put it on her neck, letting it stick to her chest, feeling the warmth of her heartbeat, as if Ji Heng could be by her side at any time.
The red butterfly flowed gorgeously under the lights, Jiang Li pinched the fan pendant, and she was surprised to see.
I don’t know how long it took. The sound of the wind and snow outside seemed to be quiet. In the silence, there seemed to be a knock on the door. The knock on the door was not hurried, as if someone was standing at the door with a smile. , Braving the blizzard and glamorous red, knocked on the door of the deceased.
Jiang Li shook suddenly, and then, a burst of ecstasy came from his heart. She didn't even put on her outer garment, so she rushed out the door and opened it immediately. However, there was nothing outside the door.
Not reconciled, she walked a few steps outside. The Guogong Mansion was so big, she followed her yard and even walked outside. Under the promenade, the lantern was slightly shaken by the wind, and the light seemed to be blown out. The bottom was covered with thick snow, but the snow in the sky didn't come down again.
But nothing.
As if she had become the person who was in the garden in the drama, everything is just a beautiful dream without a trace. The sound of knocking on the door was just a joke made by Feng and her, but she took it seriously under the extreme thoughts.
Jiang Li couldn't help but slowly squatted down, covering her face and crying.
She was very restrained in crying, it was more like a young little beast could not find her way, confused, and afraid that others would see her fragility, sobbing low. These days, facing everyone, she smiled as usual, and she seemed to care about nothing. She could walk on without Ji Heng, but was completely destroyed by this cruel dream today. She can't pretend, no matter how she pretends, she will have a tired day. Especially when she lives here, there are memories everywhere and his shadow everywhere, how can she pretend to be nonchalant. She is not a god, nor is she hard-hearted.
Jiang Li cried for a long, long time. She didn't like crying in front of others. The only few times she cried, it seemed that Ji Heng was there. Now, when he is crying, whether it is Ji Heng who is coldly watching from the side, or is a gentle substitute Ji Heng, who wiped away her tears, would never reappear.
Until the sound of the wind died down, Jiang Li lifted her face from her arms, and she saw Ye Shijie standing not far from her, looking at her with complex expression.
He didn't know how long he had been standing here, or how long he had just listened to her crying. In short, Ye Shijie didn't come to disturb her, just as a bystander quietly, just as he did in the past.
"Cousin Ye?" Jiang Li stood up, she rubbed her numb knees, her face had not yet put away the sorrow that was just now, and brought new consternation, "Why are you here?"
Ye Shijie said, "I can't sleep. I went out for a walk and just happened to see you."
"Let my cousin laugh." Jiang Li said softly.
Ye Shijie walked in two steps. He stared at Jiang Li's face. Jiang Li's eyes were slightly swollen, but his eyes were as clear as ever. This reminded him of when he first saw Jiang Li when he grew up in Yanjing City. Jiang Li suddenly appeared from the street at that time. She appeared to be her identity, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, calm and calm, with a slight pride in her eyes. And alienation.
Now Jiang Li, without those alienation, her temperament has become more and more peaceful, as if this is just like her nature. She is also not shaken by things outside, no matter what happens, she is calm. But it turned out that all her enthusiasm and emotions were given to another person and would not be known to outsiders.
"Why are you crying?" Ye Shijie heard his own voice, "Is it for Ji Heng?"
As soon as he spoke, Ye Shijie himself was stunned. He didn't understand why he had to ask such a stupid question. This was obviously obvious, but the trace of unwillingness in his heart made him suddenly want to ask such a question.
"Yes." Jiang Li replied frankly, "I seemed to have dreamed of him before. I woke up from the dream and felt very unwilling. My cousin must think that I was naive, crying for a dream. It was a child. Will do."
So? Ye Shijie thought silently in his heart, this shows that Jiang Li can show off all her joys, anger, sorrow and joy in front of Ji Heng. She is mature and decent in front of others. In front of Ji Heng, she is a willful little girl. This is the side that others can't see, only Ji Heng can see.
There was a sudden jealousy in his heart. This jealousy came so aggressively that he unsuspectingly said, "Cousin, Lord Su will not be back. If you want to live a little easier, you'd better forget him."
When Jiang Li heard the words, he looked at Ye Shijie in surprise, as if he was surprised that Ye Shijie actually said that. Ye Shijie was staring at her and suddenly felt hot on her face. He knew that what he said was a bit too selfish, but he couldn't control himself.
Yin Zhili likes ginger pear, at least he has won. However, he likes ginger pear, but he can't even say it. Ye Shijie also has his own pride. He doesn't think he was born in a merchant, so he is not worthy of the first wife of Jiang's family. Moreover, Jiang Yuanbai is not the first assistant now, but he has already entered the official career. The reason why Ye Shijie couldn't say it was because he knew very clearly that Jiang Li only had Ji Heng in his eyes. In Jiang Li's eyes, he was just a cousin and a elder brother, but he had no love between men and women.
When learning that Ji Heng would not return, Ye Shijie was worried about Jiang Li's future, but at the same time, he couldn't help asking himself, would this be an opportunity for God to test him? Maybe he has been taking care of Jiang Li, and one day, there will be other results between them.
But no one thought that Jiang Li would absolutely block his back road without waiting for others to say. He vowed not to marry forever, so Ye Shijie's last humble wish was shattered. He knew that he no longer had the opportunity and that he could only be Jiang Li's brother in this life.
But he still didn't understand why Jiang Li liked Ji Heng so much. Is it because of Ji Heng's beauty? There are countless beauties in the world, and Jiang Li is not such a superficial person? Is it because of Ji Heng's status? The Yin family's status was not low. As for the character and character, Ji Heng is even worse. Ye Shijie can only be sure that Jiang Li and Ji Heng have some pasts that belong only to their counterparts. It is because of those pasts that Jiang Li’s heart is not in any way. Will transfer.
What he said to Jiang Li, of course, was really for Jiang Li’s sake, but he also saved his own selfishness, but when he saw Jiang Li’s eyes, Ye Shijie felt that his thoughts, Jiang Li might have already been. understood.
"Cousin, do you think Ji Heng will never come back?" Jiang Li asked softly.
Ye Shijie was silent, and silence represented his answer.
"But I always think that he will come back. It's just a delay on the road." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Although the wait is very long, I will wait for him until he stops. As for the days to come. It's not easy, I only know that if I forget him, I really won't have a happy life."
Ye Shijie sighed long in his heart, Jiang Li's stubbornness, all of them had been taught, he should have known this long ago, everyone has tried to persuade him, Jiang Li disapproved, would it be different if he changed him? of course not.
"Cousin hasn't met that person yet." Jiang Li smiled: "When my cousin meets the most important woman in life, you will understand that sometimes, waiting for a lifetime is actually a very beautiful thing. It's a matter. If my cousin faces the same situation as me, my cousin will also make such a choice. Of course, I hope my cousin will never encounter such a situation, and it will go well."
Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression, and the girl looked at him with a smile. In her eyes, her usual calmness and calmness was restored, and she was no longer as broken and fragile as she had just discovered. She has never changed like when she first saw him, but he has gone from hostility and mockery at the beginning to admiration slowly.
When did I like it, it has long been unclear. Maybe it was when she was speaking for Tongxiang Xue Huaiyuan's righteousness, maybe when she faced Ye Mingyu with a smile, or even earlier, since he was entangled in lawsuits on the street, and strange girls walked out of the crowd and stood in his way. In front of him, he noticed her when he was able to help him resolve the embarrassment without any hurries.
By mistake, it was lost to time.
And Jiang Li is really happy, she understands all her thoughts, and the remark just now is also a tactful refusal, and hopes that he will pursue her own happiness.
It's just... Ye Shijie thought bitterly, if Jiang Li had to wait for Ji Heng's life, would he have to wait so hopelessly for Jiang Li's life? It's true. As Jiang Li said, this is just a childhood obsession. When one day, he meets the woman he really loves in his life. These things become the past and are not worth mentioning. Still with the passage of time, obsessive love has become obsession, just like Jiang Li, a shadow of nothingness that will never look back in his life, no one can see.
No one can predict the future, he and Jiang Li are no exception. No one could control his emotions, and he gave up.
That's it, let's go and see, at least he should feel satisfied, and there will be a chance to see the vivid Jiang Li this night, and talk to her here.
"Cousin should go back and rest earlier." Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's already a new year."
"Yes," Ye Shijie said as if looking into the distance, "it's already a new year."
After all, there is new hope.
…
In the morning of the second day, Jiang Li got up late.
Last night, because of meeting Ye Shijie and talking outside for a while, when Jiang Li fell asleep, it was already very late. It was just New Year, so Bai Xue and Tong Er didn't wake her up either. New Year, everything is worthy of tolerance.
Jiang Li ate something casually and walked out of the house. The snow fell heavily in the middle of last night. Qingfeng and Mingyue were sweeping snow in the yard. This is the case. When they stepped out of the yard and stepped in, the snow could almost sink into a person's small knee.
When Jiang Li heard the sound coming from the other side of the flower bed, he walked over there. As soon as he approached, he was stunned, and saw Zhao Ke and Wen Ji standing there, talking to Situ Jiuyue. Situ Jiuyue turned her back to Jiang Li, but Zhao Ke first saw Jiang Li's shadow and called out, "Miss Er."
Jiang Li didn't answer him, looked into the flower garden, and fell silent completely.
In the entire flower garden, after the heavy snowfall last night, almost all the flowers could not stand the ravages and were completely destroyed. Some were buried in the snow, and some were exposed, but they were also stumbling and sloppy, looking very miserable.
The flowers in the Guogong's Mansion, or the cherished poisonous herbs, were originally delicate, and were originally brought to the Guogong's Mansion by Ji Heng thousands of miles away, so that they were treated with care. The flowers are so beautiful. The flowers in it are also getting more and more year after year. Because of this, Situ can find the raw materials for refining poison in the flower garden in September.
After the Jinwu army class returned to the court, after Ji Heng died in battle, according to Ji Heng's previous instructions, the entire Guogong Mansion gave Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was naturally asked to take care of the flower garden. Jiang Li is not a gardener. He used to care for flowers and plants in Tongxiang. How to care for poisonous herbs is really unknown. But fortunately, the original gardener is still there and has been helping. Jiang Li also often goes to the flower garden to help. It seems that this is the only way to dilute the panic in her heart and find something for herself to do.
However, the winter in Yanjing City this year was exceptionally cold, and the wind and snow were also exceptionally heavy. In the middle of the night last night, the wind and snow were so rushing that no one noticed it. The snow almost buried the entire flower garden. When Situ Jiuyue and others found out this morning, they immediately asked people to rush to remove the snow, so much so, it seemed that they were too weak, and they could only watch this prosperous and deserted area.
Jiang Li squatted down and stretched out his hand to pick up a flower on the soil. There was frost and snow on the petals, which had been crushed into shape, and the original beautiful peach pink could be seen clearly. Jiang Li held the petal, and looked at Situ Jiuyue: "These... are they out of help?"
Situ Jiuyue shook his head.
"These medicinal herbs are not easy to find, and the growing environment is also very harsh. The climate of Yanjing City is not suitable for them to grow here. It is Ji Heng who has spent so many years trying to create an environment. But this year, it is not enough. Years are getting colder, and these herbs can't stand it. The roots are cut off." Situ Jiuyue's voice was also very regretful.
Although the flower garden seemed to have lost its meaning after Ji Minghan's death, with this flower garden, it was much more convenient for Situ Jiuyue to refine poison. And from a certain perspective, the flower garden does add a lot to the Guogong Mansion, making this mansion full of fairy and demon atmosphere, which makes people yearn for, but today’s snowstorm is like being awakened from a dream of last night. Only the sober truth remains.
For people who love to dream, it is always very cruel.
Jiang Li didn't know what to say, it seemed that since Ji Heng had left, the place had lost its vitality bit by bit. Even if the Ye family and Xue Huaiyuan moved in, they were noisy every day and seemed to be very lively, but they always felt that something was missing. It seemed that this mansion knew that its owner would not return again, so it was so ruined.
She looked at the bleakness of the slow flower garden, and felt that this was a very bad omen, so she stood up and said, "If this is the case, then bury this flower garden. Bury these flowers and plant them again when the spring begins. ."
Situ Jiuyue looked at her in surprise: "Plant again?"
"Ji Heng only has two hobbies," Jiang Li said slowly, "One is to enjoy flowers, and the other is to watch theaters. He gave me the Guogong Mansion. If I make this place dusty, he does this. Picky people will definitely not like it. Besides, there are some colors to add some excitement."
Situ Jiuyue stopped speaking. Since Jiang Li said that, she couldn't say anything. What's more, the Guogong Mansion now belongs to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li can do what Jiang Li wants to do.
"However," Situ Jiuyue pointed to the other side, "These flowers are dead, and the tree is still alive."
Jiang Li followed her movements and looked over and saw a small tree growing in the flowerbed. This is a pear tree. It was that night when she went from Jiang Mansion to Guo Gong Mansion and saw Ji Heng planting it, so she stepped forward and planted it with Ji Heng.
She walked to the side of the tree. The small tree grew a lot taller. From the immature sapling, it grew tall and tall, and looked very slim. It may not be long before it will continue to grow taller and grow up. In summer, its branches and leaves become luxuriant and become a shade of greenery. In the coming spring, it will grow white flowers again. It grew up slowly in the Guogong's mansion, starting to grow when Ji Heng was alive, until a long, long time later.
Jiang Li reached out and touched the tree trunk. The branches were also full of snow, which made the small tree crooked. Jiang Li brushed away the snow, and it seemed to be relaxed, and it became higher and higher. At this moment, Jiang Li's men touched an uneven object. She felt that it was something that was carved on by someone, and then stared at it. With this look, the circles of her eyes suddenly became red, and she almost shed tears.
The handwriting on it is familiar, it is the handwriting of Ji Heng, which was carved with the tip of a sword: In the spring and March of the twenty-eighth year, I hand-planted it with Ari.
She seemed to be able to see the young man in red half kneeling on the ground through this line of handwriting, taking the tip of the sword to chisel out every word, his expression was serious, his amber eyes were focused by the moonlight, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. Beautiful.
For Jiang Li at the time, it was just a small matter, but he took it to heart and commemorated it seriously, as if it was a big event worth remembering in his life.
He... Why is this
Jiang Li turned her back, tears fell in an instant and sank into the mud. The little tree trembled slightly in the wind, gentle and puzzled, her heart was strangely sour.
After calming down for a while, Jiang Li turned around and walked out. She thought maybe this was what Ji Heng left for her. The pear tree they planted together would replace Ji Heng and stay with her for countless springs and autumns.
After Jiang Li walked out, he saw Xue Huaiyuan outside the yard. Xue Huaiyuan looked at her expression and seemed to have something to say. Jiang Li was stunned and asked, "Father, what happened?"
Xue Huaiyuan waved his hand quickly: "It's nothing, just something I want to discuss with you."
"Father, please say." Jiang Li said.
Xue Huaiyuan pulled Jiang Li and sat down at the stone table outside before saying, "I think, the New Year is over. Since you will stay in Yanjing City in the future, we will first go back to Tongxiang. The old houses over there are all After handling it, I will say hello to the folks again, which is considered as farewell, and I won't go back in the future. Look..." He looked at Jiang Li inquiringly.
Jiang Li was not too surprised. Xue Huaiyuan had told her about this plan before, and Jiang Li also agreed. I also plan to go to Qimin again after I go back to Tongxiang. Anyway, I have to pass by Tongxiang when I go to Qimin. Immediately he said: "Okay."
Xue Huaiyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Ali, Dad knows what you are thinking in your heart. Dad won't say what others persuade you. You know it in your heart. But where are you, Dad and Ah. Where Zhao is, our family will never be separated again in the future. No matter if you stay in Yanjing City or go to other places, Dad won’t be alone. So just do whatever you want. Don’t worry about other people’s perspectives and opinions, Dad and Azhao will understand you."
Jiang Li smiled, "I know, Dad."
"Then, let's plan and when will we leave." Xue Huaiyuan said: "It should not be too late. Let's leave early and come back early."
"Father," Jiang Li interrupted Xue Huaiyuan, "I also have one thing that I want to discuss with Daddy."
"What's up?"
"After I return to Tongxiang, I don't want to go back to Yanjing City immediately. I want to go to Qimin."
Xue Huaiyuan heard this and did not answer for a long time.
"Father, no matter what I think, I can’t accept it. If I have to wait in Yanjing City, I am not unable to wait, but I always feel that I can do something else. Hopefully, I will give up. Otherwise, I will live with this regret in my life. Shouldn't I be a man by my heart? This is what Dad taught me and A Zhao in the first place."
Xue Huaiyuan sighed with a smile, shook his head and said: "A Zhao told me that you will definitely go to Qimin once. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that that stinky boy knows you very well. Ari, father said. , What are you going to do, Dad won’t stop you, but Dad and Azhao will accompany you."
"But your body..."
"Our health is not good, can you just be a weak woman? Just leave it, Ari, Ji Heng are your obsessions, and you are your dad's obsessions. I have lost you once, and I don't want to lose you again."
Jiang Li clearly saw the pain in Xue Huaiyuan's eyes, and she suddenly felt that she was too selfish. Since Ji Heng's accident, she has been immersed in grief, but she has forgotten how she looked like this, how anxious she should be in the eyes of relatives around her. Xue Huaiyuan watched himself die last time, and he couldn't bear this kind of pain again.
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Okay, father, let's find a few more guards and go to Qimin together."
Xue Huaiyuan was only satisfied. When the two talked about when to leave and who to take, Ye Mingyu happened to pass by, and he was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "What are you talking about? Where are you going?"
Jiang Li turned his head, Ye Mingyu was coming back from the outside with his big knife on his shoulders. Jiang Li replied: "We plan to go back to Tongxiang."
"Back to Tongxiang?" Ye Mingyu looked at Xue Huaiyuan, "What? Mr. Xue is going back to his hometown?"
"No." Xue Huaiyuan explained: "This time I went back to Tongxiang to deal with the old mansion in Tongxiang, and then bid farewell to the blind dates. After that, I would not return to Tongxiang and stay with Ari in Yanjing city."
"That's it." Ye Mingyu said with a grin: "Then let's go together, and I have to go back to Xiangyang."
This time, it was Jiang Li's turn to be surprised. Jiang Li asked, "Uncle is going back to Xiangyang?"
"Yes, I received a letter from my eldest brother yesterday. My eldest brother said that Tao Shui Wen is now selling well in Yanjing City. Guaner Shijie is doing well now. She usually doesn't see it when she wants to see Shijie. You can’t always separate the two places like this. The Ye family was in Yanjing many years ago, and now they plan to go back to Yanjing from Xiangyang. When I go back this time, I will take them all over for my mother and eldest brother.” Ye Mingyu laughed and said. "Ari, when your cousin and them are here, you will not be so lonely in Yanjing City. You can't say anything about the Yejia shop, you have to help."
This was unexpected to Jiang Li, but she was really happy. She did not see Mrs. Ye and them for a long time, and said: "This can't be better."
"So, when you plan to leave, you will also pick me up." Ye Mingyu patted his chest, "With me following, the mountain bandits must detour. The journey is very safe. Let's go smoothly. The safekeeping will arrive earlier than you think. !"
Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan looked at each other, and Jiang Li said, "Then, please ask Uncle to go with us."
"Good." Ye Mingyu replied readily.
…
The journey from Yanjing City back to Tongxiang is the second time Jiang Li has left since his rebirth. Last time, there was no one by her side. Now Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan are by their side. It's about God's tolerance. But God was unwilling to grant people a peaceful and fulfilling life, so he took away her precious things.
Jiang Li departed on the tenth day after the new year. When he left, no one knew about Yanjing City. The Guogong Mansion also left some people to look after them, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji followed along. Situ Jiuyue was also there, saying that he could by the way see if he could find precious poisonous herbs as raw materials on the road. Along the way, as Ye Mingyu had promised before, there was no bandit or bandit, but maybe because they were too crowded, the guards escorting the carriage didn’t look like a vegetarian. There were gangsters, and they retreated early.
After all, the road to Xiangyang was safe and sound.
Everyone first arrived in Xiangyang and met the Ye family. Mrs. Ye had already heard these things happened to Jiang Li in Xiangyang, and she kept holding Jiang Li's hand and wept in distress. I feel that Jiang Li will never marry at a young age, and it will be a bit harder in the end. Others in the Ye family felt sorry for Jiang Li, and Ye Jiaer was extremely sad for Jiang Li's future husband to die on the battlefield. Because of this, the Ye family treated Jiang Li more carefully, hoping that Jiang Li's days in Xiangyang would be as happy as possible and forget the sad things for the time being.
Because Mrs. Ye is in poor health, the Ye family has to wait for the weather to get warmer before leaving for Beijing. At the same time, it takes some time to deal with things like shops and houses in Xiangyang. This time the Ye family moved to Yanjing City with their family, so they didn't plan to come back.
Jiang Li will live in Ye's house for now. After waiting for more than ten days, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao are going to Tongxiang first. Jiang Li said to Mrs. Ye: I also want to go to Tongxiang. After all, I was here last time and only took care of Feng Yutang, but didn't do it well. Look at what Tongxiang is like.
Now Mrs. Ye is afraid that Jiang Li can't think about it. As long as Jiang Li is happy, she can do anything. She readily agreed, but she was afraid that Jiang Li would be boring to follow a girl, so she asked Ye Jiaer to follow Ye Rufeng. The three young men, Xue Zhao, Xue Huaiyuan, and Situ Jiuyue, just returned to Tongxiang.
Tongxiang is still the same, after Feng Yutang fell, a new county leader came. This county prime minister is not very old, he is not yet a year old, but probably because he is young, he is quite talented. Several important things have been done in Tongxiang, and the people are very satisfied with this county. Hearing that Xue Huaiyuan had returned, all the people in Tongxiang flocked to the door of Xue's house and delivered eggs and food.
When Jiang Li rescued Xue Huaiyuan from Feng Yutang's hands before, Xue Huaiyuan was already crazy. The people of Tongxiang knew this, and they all sighed. Now Xue Huaiyuan stands in front of him well, his speech is clear, except that he looks slightly older than before. A little haggard, clearly no different from the past. The people can only be grateful for the curtain. Zhang Tufu laughed and said, "I knew Master Xue would get better! In this world, good people are rewarded!"
The people agreed. The people saw Jiang Li again, and even knelt down to thank Jiang Li. If Jiang Li hadn't taken them to Yanjing City to beat the stone lion and sing the drums, they dealt with Feng Yutang, otherwise Feng Yutang had been working in Tongxiang. Domineering, they don't know how long they will suffer.
Where did Jiang Li dare to let them really kneel down, hurriedly avoided, and helped them up without getting in the way. Those people saw Xue Zhao sitting in a wheelchair again, and they all sighed.
These enthusiastic people were finally sent away, and Xue's house was cleaned up, and all the talents really lived in.
Xue Huaiyuan said to Ye Jiaer: "The humble house is simple and simple, Miss Ye will take more care."
"It won't matter, Uncle Xue." Ye Jiaer said with a smile: "The Xue family is very much loved in Tongxiang."
Xue Huaiyuan smiled without saying a word. Probably, but this time I came back with a lot of emotion. In the Xue family's ancestral hall, Mrs. Xue's memorial tablets were all ashes. Xue Huaiyuan let Jiang Li in, offered Mrs. Xue incense, and said something.
At night, Jiang Li lived in the yard where she lived before leaving the pavilion, and fell asleep in her bed. Feng Yutang sealed the Xue's house at the beginning, but because the Xue family was already poor and there were no valuables in the house, no one in the house had ever moved. Sitting on the old boudoir's bed, Jiang Li couldn't calm down for a long time. It seems that over the years, getting married, being killed, reborn, and being married again, until now Ji Heng is missing, it's just a dream she had, or someone who was watching the theater accidentally entered the stage, and couldn't tell the difference. Is it in-game or reality
But in the end the days are gradually passing away like this. She touched the butterfly on her neck. It was warm, crystal clear, like flowing blood, bright and eye-catching, so that her memory could not fade.
She closed her eyes.
This is... Take Ji Heng back to his hometown, right
…
The first day of April is the Spring Festival of Lights.
There is a long river in Tongxiang. On the day of the Spring Festival of Lights, many girls and wives will put down their hand-made lanterns on the banks of the river. There are candles in the lanterns. From a distance, there is a light above the water, illuminating the water. Sparkling, like a fairyland in the Dragon Palace.
In the evening, a few young people have to travel to experience the lively Spring Festival of Lights. Xue Huaiyuan had inconvenience in his legs and feet, so he didn't follow, but let the guards follow them to take care of them.
Except for Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan, it is the first time for everyone to see such a scene. Tongxiang is not as prosperous as Yanjing City, but its folk customs are simple, probably because the Spring Festival of Lights is also very important to them, so this night is as lively as a temple fair in Yanjing City. The streets are full of people who come out to watch the excitement. There are young ladies, young girls from common people's homes, and playful children. Many people on the street wear masks. The masks are painted faces of gods. There are colorful and everything. At first glance, it looks like a big show. Just because the people of Tongxiang believed that the gods would become mortals to go to the world during the Spring Festival of Lights. Wherever the gods go, they will bless the place where the weather will be smooth this year and have a good harvest. Therefore, the people of Tongxiang are used to come out to play with masks of gods during the Spring Festival of Lantern.
Situ Jiuyue bought a black-faced idol, and Ye Jiaer bought a kind-eyed Bodhisattva whose eyes were narrowed and smiling. The mask that Ye Rufeng wore, his face looked like he was blowing a beard and staring at him, very fierce. Xue Zhao and Jiang Li bought a pair of twin boys to wear.
There are lanterns everywhere, lively voices everywhere, people who make clay figurines can be seen everywhere, and Situ Jiuyue was also stuffed with a candied haws in his hand. The jugglers, sugar-blowers, and the bustle of Tongxiang are completely different from the capital, but there is a kind of prosperity outside the secular, like the paradise recorded in books, everyone is happy and content.

Jiang Li felt a shock in her heart, and her body was faster than her thinking, and almost without thinking, she ran towards the person over there, trying to see who that person was.
There were all people around, Jiang Li bumped into many people, she apologized to them and apologized, but went on to look for them. I can't find it, it's like she's dazzled, or her hallucinations, but it's true and incredible. Jiang Li caught up with the man in red who was wearing a mask. For a moment, she almost thought she had found it. She tremblingly stretched out her hand to remove the other party's mask, and then
