Let's say that the two new officials took their lovely wives and concubines back to Peach Blossom Villa respectively, and completed a whole set of red tape according to the instructions, until they sent them to the bridal chamber after three bows and nine kowtows, then fired cannons, played music, and prayed. Wedding candies and the wedding ceremony are completed successfully by worshiping heaven and earth. All the guests praised the grand occasion of the wedding and the majesty of the two new officials. As for the two brides, although everyone could not see them in person, judging from their figures and manners, they must be unparalleled beauties. As the saying goes, the eyebrows are green and the willows are green in spring, and the people in the Jade Tower reflect the red lotus flowers. There are good stories about dressing up in the mirror, and colorful phoenixes resting on the branches of the sycamore trees, that's it.
In this day when everyone is in high spirits, there is one person who, although he appears to be generous on the surface, actually has mixed emotions in his heart. This person is Shui Hanshuang, the head of Peach Blossom Villa. After she saw off all the guests in a controlled manner, she returned to Bishui Pavilion with a heavy heart. She walked into the side hall and sat in front of the tables. After being stunned for a moment, she asked Pan'er who was waiting nearby to get some wine. Pan'er persuaded her nicely: "Madam, you already drank a lot of wine at the wedding banquet. I'm afraid you'll get drunk if you drink any more." Shui Hanshuang shouted angrily: "I'm sorry, but today your second master will drink more." Newcomer, I'm happy for him, it doesn't matter even if he's drunk!" Pan'er had no choice but to comply. "Qianfan, I could only get half of your heart in the past, how much more can I get in the future?" She murmured to herself, drinking one cup after another, hoping to get drunk and relieve her worries, "If If I can carry on the family line for you, will you treat me wholeheartedly and never want another charming woman?" "Madam, if you are more open-minded, I think the second master still has you in his heart." Pan'er couldn't bear her. Feeling so miserable, he comforted him softly. "But why do I feel that since the incident at Lan Xu Pavilion, he and I have grown apart a lot. His people and his heart are getting further and further away from me, and I can't keep them no matter what..." She Pan'er said sadly, tears flowing freely on her face. Pan'er held a silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe her tears, but she was angered and drove her away without explanation. "Heartbroken wine, residual red tears, nothing is as strong as love." Shui Hanshuang continued to drink while quietly reciting poems, staring at no one around, feeling even more sad and desolate in his heart.
Over here, Aoshan arrived at Xuemei Pavilion after entertaining the guests. He had renovated this place a few months ago. Magnolias and gardenias were planted in the yard. The furnishings in the house were carefully selected and decorated by him. They were both meticulous and ingenious. , he believed that it must be in line with Qingxue’s wishes. At this time, the Xuan Guan has been decorated as a new house, and red couplets are hung beside the door of the new house. As Aoshan pushed the door open, he saw at a glance the red bedding embroidered with phoenix and Luan piled up in front of the bed, and the snow-white summer tent hung with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious forms. The curtains and two pairs of embroidered shoes were on the stairs. The boxes, cabinets and tables in the whole house were decorated with Daxi paper-cuts. The red candles illuminated the new house as fragrant as a dream. Qingxue, with a red hijab on her head, sat on the edge of the bed. "Qingxue." Aoshan called out, and stepped forward and gently opened her hijab. Qingxue slowly raised her head, and saw that her thick black hair was all combed to the top of her head, like dark clouds piled with snow. Her hair was twisted into a Yangfeng bun, with long phoenix six-beaded swaying on both sides. The red gems were finely inlaid on the gold wires, gently swaying, touching her delicate cheeks, as if she couldn't bear to touch them. Move away quickly. Qingxue does not look like she usually does without makeup. Her eyebrows are lightly dyed, her lips are slightly dotted, and the rouge is lightly swept away from her cheeks. Her fair and rosy complexion has an extra layer of charming red, and there are golden flower tips stuck to the corners of her eyes. The usual charm has turned into a charm that makes people lose their soul. At this time, Aoshan's eyes were obsessed, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles. He first took Qingxue's hand, lowered his head and kissed it, and then said excitedly: "Come on, Qingxue, I will take you somewhere." ." "Uncle, Madam, you two haven't finished the tent ceremony yet and are drinking Hexin wine." The Xi Niangs who were standing by tried to dissuade her, but found that it was useless. Aoshan had already pulled Qingxue like a gust of wind. I ran out and rushed to that happy and free place, where I had no time to care about these mundane things.
At this time, it was just snowing heavily outside. The snow was floating leisurely, turning the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white. The snow was like catkins, like reed flowers, and like light smoke. It flowed and chased, and it was spotless when it came. When it falls, it is not surprising at all, it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Not long after, Aoshan brought Qingxue to a small and exquisite pavilion. Standing in front of the pavilion, he suddenly stopped and said in a mysterious manner: "Qingxue, close your eyes quickly. I want to give you a husband." What a surprise." "What kind of surprise is it that you are so mysterious?" Qingxue asked with a smile, feeling curious in her heart. "Just close your eyes and follow me. You will know when you get there." Aoshan led her and continued walking forward. Qingxue closed her eyes and obeyed. Gradually, she smelled waves of faint fragrance. . "It smells so good, is it plum blossom?" Qingxue asked expectantly. "We're here." After hearing this, Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a plum garden coming in spring. The plum blossoms were all over the sky. From a distance, they looked like a piece of colorful silk, smooth and gorgeous, and It's as hazy as fog, giving people the urge to rush into this fragrant sea. "The shadows of the flowers are really charming, and the spring mountains are like smiles." Qingxue sighed sincerely, and walked ecstatically to the depths of the plum garden. As she walked in the sea of flowers, she felt the fragrance was refreshing, the colors were the right shade, and everything was just right. , completely made by nature. At this time, Aoshan slowly stepped forward, hugged her waist from behind, leaned his face on her shoulder, and asked softly: "Qingxue...are you still satisfied with this surprise?" "This piece of uniqueness is unique. I really like Merlin very much." Qingxue nodded and said with a smile, "But I only mentioned it a few words inadvertently, how could you remember it so clearly?"
"Every word you said will be remembered by me. You mentioned that the winter plum blossoms that have experienced frost and snow are your favorite flowers, especially the green calyx and the jade dish." Aoshan said while pointing with his finger. From the front, he whispered in her ear, "Look, these patches of light green and pure white, don't they look like you, pure and pure?" Hearing this, Qingxue turned around and said with emotion: "Thank you, Aoshan. You must have been preparing for a long time to build this plum garden. I really deserve it for spending so much time." "As long as you are happy in your heart, everything will be worth it." Ao Ao Shan hugged her tighter as he spoke, "By the way, you can give this plum garden a name!" "Hmm..." Qingxue thought for a while and said, "The shadows are sparse and the water is clear and fragrant. At dusk of the floating moon, why not call this place the 'Dark Fragrance Forest'!" "Okay, the dark fragrance is floating, and the romance is strong. From now on, whenever the plum blossoms are in full bloom, I will accompany you here to walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms every day. Okay?" "A gentleman makes a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, so you must keep your word." Qingxue said charmingly, while looking up at him with an innocent face. "What a little fool." Aoshan scratched her nose and said lovingly, "I would like to be Xuanzong and always protect you, the plum-loving concubine like you." Hearing this, Qingxue couldn't help but feel her heart thump. For a moment: The quiet and elegant Jiang Caiping lost to the coquettish and alert Yang Yuhuan, and was neglected and abandoned by Xuanzong. Even though he was full of talent and composed the poem "Lou Dong Fu", he still could not restore the holy will, and he died from it. As gray as a tree, his heart as gray as ashes... Aoshan didn't know that she was thinking wildly. Facing the beauty he had longed for in his heart, he felt so excited that he suddenly picked up Qingxue in the air and spun around in circles happily. Such an action made Qingxue couldn't help but let out a low cry. Looking at the husband in front of her, she could only comfort herself secretly: He is not a high-ranking person. How could he have three thousand beauties in the harem? If so, why should I worry about it? At this moment, the flying snow is still flowing, the faint fragrance is still floating, the plum snow that complements each other is already like glue; the perfect match is even more enviable to others!
In the Zixia Pavilion at the other end of Peach Blossom Villa, Qianfan and Zimeng spent a wedding night as smooth as a mirror and calm. They performed the tent-casting ceremony step by step, and after drinking Hexin wine, they arranged the wedding ceremony step by step. At this moment, Zimeng looked at the sleeping Qianfan next to her, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. Zimeng could feel that all the heat in his heart had been exhausted by Qingxue, leaving her with nothing but mediocrity. There is no lingering love and affection, only silence and long nights. Not only do the two of them save the steps of testing and getting along with each other, but they also save a lot of the emotions and boudoir fun that should have been there. However, she was very satisfied to be able to realize her long-cherished wish, to become his woman, to sleep with him in the same bed, to cling to his chest, to feel his breathing. Isn’t it true that sincerity can make a difference, she I firmly believe that one day, Qianfan will eventually fall in love with her and be in love with her.
Early the next morning, Aoshan led Qingxue, Qianfan led Zimeng, and the four of them came to Yanyu Tower to pay homage to the old man. Along the way, Qingxue felt very uneasy. She didn't know what kind of person this old man was. Would he be amiable and reasonable, or domineering and overbearing? While she was making random guesses, she suddenly felt her palm being pinched by Aoshan. , oh, it turns out we have arrived. The entrance is a winding verandah, and the stones under the steps form a corridor. There are two or three small rooms above, one is light and the other is dark, and inside are beds, chairs and tables built in the same location. There is another small door from the inner room, and out is the backyard, with a large pear tree and banana trees. There are two more small retreats. A gap suddenly opens under the wall of the backyard, and a clear spring flows out. The ditch is only a few feet long, and it pours into the wall. It goes around the steps to the front yard and spirals out under the bamboo. Qingxue thought to herself: This place is quite transcendent, with a feeling of being isolated from the world.
When you enter the house, you will see the furnishings, antiques, calligraphy and paintings all highlighting the good taste of its owner. "You all come here." The old man called the four of them with a smile. Although he had been bedridden for many years, his face looked rosy and his complexion was very good. "Father." Aoshan and Qianfan called in unison, both of them extremely respectful. Then, Qingxue and Zimeng stepped forward to serve tea to the old man and called him father like their husbands. "Okay, okay, you two beautiful wives are indeed both good-looking and suitable for living in IKEA." Listening to the old man's tone, he seemed quite satisfied with Qingxue and Zimeng. Qingxue couldn't help but look at him secretly, and saw that although he was old, he had clear-cut features, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He must have been very romantic when he was young, otherwise he would not have married one wife and two concubines. "The eldest daughter-in-law's name is..." "Father, her name is Qingxue." Aoshan quickly reminded his father tactfully. "Qingxue, from now on you have to slowly learn how to take care of things, so that you can be more comfortable when you become the head of a family." The old man looked at Qingxue and said to her sincerely. "Ah?" Qingxue was very confused after hearing this. "You are the eldest daughter-in-law, with a noble status and great responsibilities. If you can be the successor to our Mu family, the position of the head of the Peach Blossom Villa belongs to you." "Don't you have to take care of many trivial chores as a head of the family? , Can't you have some leisure time?" Qingxue asked worriedly. "That's natural. All the affairs of everyone in Peach Blossom Villa are under your control!" the old man said with a smile. "I don't want this to be annoying. Whoever is in the position in the first place should just let him continue to pursue his own affairs. Since that person is already very good at it, why bother to change his ways and create more complications." Qingxue blurted out without thinking, Aoshan, who was beside her, did not expect her to reply like this, so he touched her lightly with his elbow. Only then did Qingxue realize that she was a little too outspoken. She quickly lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes. "Hmph, she is indeed the daughter of a small family, short-sighted and without any foresight!" the old man sneered and said disdainfully. "You think this is short-sighted, but I think this is called everyone's ambition, and I just don't have this ambition."
Qingxue still didn't complain, but Aoshan beside her looked gloomy and frowned. "Everyone has their own ambitions! So among your ambitions, do you plan to have children as soon as possible?" Suddenly hearing the old man ask her this, Qingxue couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and pursed her red lips tightly without saying a word. "I have mentioned this matter before, and I reiterate it today." The old man turned his attention to his two sons and said solemnly, "Which one of you brothers can first raise a healthy, smart and well-behaved child for our Mu family?" Sun Lai is the future heir of Peach Blossom Villa! Qianfan, you also know that I had high hopes for Shui Hanshuang. After all, she comes from a famous family and is knowledgeable in books and etiquette. However, she is not able to live up to her expectations and is holding the position of head of the family for nothing. . As for your concubine, it is even more useless..." "I don't allow you to say that to cousin Xinlan." Qingxue interrupted the old man. She really couldn't listen anymore and was about to go forward and have a good argument with him. , but was grabbed by Aoshan and shouted loudly: "Shut up, how can you disrespect father." "It's obvious that he doesn't respect others first," Qingxue defended with full of grievance, "Cousin Xinlan has suffered like this. Unfortunately, he is already very miserable, but he still accuses his cousin of being useless. Isn't this unfair?" After hearing this, the old man's face turned green with anger, and he was speechless for a long time. Although Zimeng's heart was not at ease, she was calmer than Qingxue, and she just kept her mouth shut at the moment. Qianfan, as for Qianfan, had already been secretly worried about Qingxue. You know, it was not a trivial matter for his father to lose his temper. "As a woman, you should obey the three virtues and respect your parents-in-law. Didn't your parents teach you carefully? How dare you act so recklessly and disrespectfully? It seems that someone else is the one doing the wrong thing!" The old man sneered mercilessly. Hearing this, Qingxue felt humiliated and couldn't help but retorted: "First you looked down on cousin Xinlan, and now you slandered my parents. You are so cold-blooded and selfish, how can you be worthy of being respected?" These words were truly eloquent. Everyone was shocked and jaw-dropping. The old man was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared at the door. He pointed toward the door with trembling hands for a long time, and then shouted loudly: "Hurry, come quickly! I'll take care of you!"
Upon seeing this, Qianfan quickly walked to his father's side. The old man was sitting there, breathing heavily, obviously very angry. Qianfan gently rubbed his back for him and said kindly: "Father, calm down. You are well-informed and magnanimous. Why do you need to be angry with a junior?" He glanced at Qingxue and continued, "I believe it. My sister-in-law just made an honest mistake. She definitely didn't mean to contradict you." The old man pointed at Qingxue and said with lingering anger: "She, she actually called me cold-blooded and selfish. She clearly doesn't have an elder like me in her eyes! If not today! If she enforces family law, she won't learn a lesson!" "Father, my sister-in-law has already realized her mistake. You can spare her a lot of time. Getting angry over a trivial matter is really not worth it and is not good for your health. " Qianfan tried his best to excuse Qingxue, and Zimeng on the side also helped to say good things. After thinking about it, the old man found a step for himself and said to Aoshan: "Okay, Aoshan, just ask her Do you know whether you are wrong or not?" "What's wrong with me? I'm just telling the truth..." Before Aoshan could speak, Qingxue once again argued for herself. However, before she could finish her words, she heard a "pop" sound. She had already received a firm slap from Ao Shan on the right side of her face, and his roar could still be heard in her ears: "That's enough, do you still have me as a husband in your eyes? Go back to Xuemei Xuan immediately and copy "Women's Rules" "Copy it a hundred times and give it to your father, and then sincerely apologize to him. Did you hear that? Why don't you go quickly?" Qingxue touched her burning cheeks and looked at Aoshan in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears of grievance. , then he covered his face, bit his lip, turned around and ran out. Everyone was left to watch this sudden scene, everyone was shocked and speechless. Aoshan was secretly dejected, like a defeated rooster, while Qianfan glared at him, filled with resentment in his heart.
After Qingxue ran back to Xuemei Xuan in one breath, she closed the doors and windows, not wanting anyone to see her in such a miserable state, sad and lost. Then she lay on the bed and cried bitterly, feeling all kinds of grievances in her heart. Never experienced such humiliation. She couldn't figure it out, how could Aoshan be so cruel to her, just because she wouldn't give in to the old man? But it was obvious that he was tyrannical and autocratic, and she was just arguing with reason. Did she have to swallow her anger? Is it in line with his wishes? It’s too much. In front of Qianfan and Zimeng, how can he face them in the future? He said that he would always protect her and cherish her even more, but it was just lies. , it was completely unreliable when it came to it... Qianfan was absent-minded and lost his mind after coming out of Yanyu Tower. He was very worried about Qingxue and couldn't help but want to protect her and comfort her, so he couldn't help but walk towards Xuemei Pavilion with his feet. direction. Fortunately, Zimeng caught him and said softly to him: "Qianfan, come with me to Lanxu Pavilion. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister for two or three months. Come with me." She." After hearing this, Qianfan couldn't help but think: Yes, in what capacity should I comfort Qingxue? Second uncle? This is simply unreasonable and inconsistent with etiquette! I feel deeply helpless. He had no choice but to give up and follow Zimeng's footsteps involuntarily.
After a while, the two of them arrived at Lanxu Pavilion. Before seeing Xinlan, Zimeng called out eagerly: "Sister, Meng'er is here to see you." "Miss." Liandie greeted her affectionately and took her hand towards the backyard. "Liandie, I won't be working hard for you these two months. Is everything okay, sister?" "Well, look, miss." Zimeng looked in the direction of her finger and saw Xinlan squatting on the ground. Playing with two little white dogs that look like snowballs. "What cute puppies." "These two puppies were specially bought by the second master to relieve the eldest lady's boredom." Liandie looked at Qianfan and then at Zimeng and said with a smile, "I've raised them. It's been three months, and I'm very close to the eldest lady." After hearing this, Zimeng couldn't help but look at Qianfan tenderly, her eyes full of gratitude, but Qianfan just lowered his head with a worried look on his face. "Sister." Zimeng knelt down and looked at Xinlan. Xinlan raised her head and looked at her, and said with a naive smile: "Second Master, look, Tuan Yuanyuan has grown up a lot. You know, they are obedient and never run around. They are very well-behaved." She looked good, although her eyes were still empty. At this time, a puppy was extremely affectionate towards Zimeng and kept rubbing at her feet. Zimeng immediately took it into her arms as she liked it. Unexpectedly, Xinlan suddenly snatched the puppy from her arms, and shouted to her with a look of horror: "Don't snatch my child, no one is allowed!" After that, she quickly picked up the other one. In his arms, he quickly ran back into the house, and everyone quickly followed him in. She first put the puppies on the bed, covered them with quilts, and then patted them gently while singing a lullaby. Zimeng couldn't help but look stunned, turned to look at Liandie and asked: "When my sister rests at night, she should be holding them together, right?" "No, it's like this every day, we can't stay apart even for an inch. , we have long been used to it." Liandie replied disapprovingly. "It's good that Xinlan has someone to rely on, but these pillows and bedding must be changed more frequently." Qianfan warned. "Yes, I understand." "Sister, how much do you miss your child that you would hold a puppy in your arms every night to replace it!" Zimeng couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, feeling extremely sour in her heart.
At noon, Aoshan came to Xuemei Xuan to deliver lunch to Qingxue, but saw that the door was closed, so he had to stand outside the door and shouted: "Qingxue, open the door, I'm bringing you lunch." Qingxue, who was in the room just now because she was tired from crying, fell asleep directly on the bed. At this moment, she was woken up by Aoshan's shout. "Qingxue, I know you are still angry with me. I wanted to save you so I had no choice but to stop you. Otherwise, you would not be able to escape the fate of having your father enforce the family law. I don't want to watch you being punished, and you I was not calm at the time," Aoshan said sincerely, "I know your face must be in pain, but my heart is tens of millions of times more painful than yours, do you understand?!" "These are just yours. It's just an excuse." Qingxue murmured softly. She didn't believe such excuses and didn't bother to pay attention to him. "Qingxue, please answer me. No matter how angry you are, you can't go without lunch, otherwise you will starve!" Aoshan's voice outside the house became more and more anxious, but Qingxue inside the house remained indifferent. "Maybe you don't want to see me now, then I will put the food at the door. When I leave, you remember to come out and get it. I will come to see you later." Aoshan, who couldn't wait for any response, had to put down the food box, extremely He shook his head in despair and left. After he left, Qingxue immediately got up and went to find "Women's Rules" on the bookshelf. Then she sat at the desk and started copying. She wrote furiously as if she was angry with herself, writing fast and furiously while copying. Pingdi murmured: "Why are there no "Men's Code" and "Husband's Code"? How can a seven-foot-tall man be violent to a woman? As a husband, shouldn't you protect your wife with your life? Who knows that you are just the opposite? You also found such high-sounding reasons for yourself, which shows that you only have yourself in your heart!"
At dusk, Aoshan, who diligently delivered dinner, found that the food box outside the room was not moved at all, so he begged the people in the room to open the door for dinner, but Qingxue still ignored him and turned him away. He walked to the west window and looked in worriedly. Through the hazy window screen, he vaguely saw Qingxue sitting by the window, still copying carefully. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said something hurriedly and concernedly. Let her rest as soon as possible, don't overwork her, and her body is in need of some considerate words. Not only did Qingxue turn a deaf ear, but she also lit two candles and placed them on the desk. She burned the ointment and continued the sundial, forgetting to eat or sleep. Upon seeing this, Aoshan let out a long sigh of helplessness and silently turned around and left again. After staying up all night, Qingxue finally finished copying "Women's Rules" a hundred times at dawn. She put down her pen and opened the window and looked outside, thinking: It is still early and the east is not yet white, so it is inconvenient to go to Yanyu Tower. , I no longer feel sleepy, so I might as well go to the Dark Fragrance Forest to spend some time with the plum blossoms, in order to cleanse my body and mind and regain my energy. So, she found a cloak and put it on her body. She carried the stack of letters and opened the door. She caught a glimpse of the food box on the ground. She shook her head slightly and said calmly: "If you are really serious, at this moment I will What you see should be a living you, not a cold one."
The joy and surprise of the day before suddenly turned into the sadness and loss of today, and the closeness of yesterday turned into the loneliness and loneliness of today. Qingxue, who was walking in the dark fragrance forest, was filled with sorrow and endless regret. "The faint clouds in the pale moon are all dreams, and the empty mountains and flowing water are only melancholy. Every time I look at the lonely shadow, I just think that the flower god is traveling at night." She leaned against the tree, holding a green calyx in her hand, and slowly chanted, "The fragrance is still the same, We are no longer the same people as we were yesterday. Sigh, sigh, but you are not the one who cherishes flowers. You let me fall into pieces and turn into mud and grind them into dust." "All the fragrances are swaying and blooming alone, occupying the charming scenery of the small garden. The sparse shadows are slanting across the water and the water is clear and shallow. , the faint fragrance floats on the moonlit dusk." The voices of Qianfan and her composing poems could be heard clearly from behind, but she didn't dare to look back at all, fearing that everything was just an illusion. "Qingxue, why don't you look back at me? Are you afraid or don't want to?" Qianfan slowly approached her and whispered softly. As soon as these words came out, Qingxue couldn't help but stiffen and couldn't help herself. She allowed Qianfan to slowly turn her around, staring at her lovingly, while caressing her right cheek, and asked with concern: "Really?" Does it hurt?" Qingxue shook her head, and two lines of tears fell down her face. She looked so weak and helpless, which almost made Qianfan's heart break. He wiped Qingxue's tears while blaming himself. Said: "It's because I was useless and couldn't protect you in time." Qingxue looked up at him with misty tearful eyes, and saw that his face was full of love and care, so irresistible that she wanted to pounce on him. His warm chest looked for a moment of comfort, even if it was just a moment, just a moment. Fortunately, Qingxue still had the last trace of consciousness. She hurriedly snatched the silk handkerchief from his hand, wiped away the raging tears that she couldn't hold back, then walked aside to calm down, and then said slowly: "Thank you, uncle, for your care. , I'm fine." "Qingxue, please don't call me that, okay, these two words are the last two words I want to hear right now." Qian Fan took a step forward and said unwillingly.
Qingxue said softly and calmly: "But you are indeed my second uncle now, and I am your sister-in-law." "What sister-in-law is?" Qianfan said angrily, "No matter what happens, he should not be rough with you. , How can such a person who doesn’t know how to show affection and cherish love deserve to be your husband and how to give you happiness!” “He just doesn’t want to watch me being executed according to family law, so he will...” Qianfan held her arms tightly, eagerly. Then he said sincerely: "If it were me, I would protect you to the death and bear the thunderous wrath of my father for you without hesitation. Not to mention the mere family law, I will be willing and fearless even if it means severe punishment." !" As soon as these words came out, Qingxue couldn't help but be shocked: It turns out that he is so affectionate towards me. Did I really marry the wrong person... But now it's a foregone conclusion, and I can't start over. It’s time to choose again. No matter what, it’s better to make the same mistake than to make the same mistake again and again, hurting innocent people and hurting others. Thinking of this, she could only hold back her sadness and said restrainedly: "Since you married Zimeng, you must treat her well. Your fearlessness should be left to her willingly... I only hope that you and I can both Only by letting go of the past and letting go of sorrow can you cherish what you have in the present and be content and happy." After hearing this, Qianfan slowly let go of his hands, shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "But in my heart, it's worth noting. Everything depends on the woman who doesn't hesitate, the only person in this world." After saying this, the two of them couldn't help but shed tears. Thousands of words were stuck in their throats, but they could only choke in silence. At this moment, snow started to fall in the sky. Qingxue looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, sighed softly and said, "It's time for me to go to Yanyu Tower for business. It's more exposed outside, and the wind and frost are biting. Second uncle, please go back quickly." ." After saying that, he slowly turned around and left. Qian Fan stared blankly at her back and sighed with emotion: The love has penetrated into my bones, and it is hard to look back. Your ice muscles and snow bones, your plum shadow and fragrant posture, tell me how to let go and how to forget...
After returning to Dongli Tower, Qianfan found that Zimeng was waiting for him in the side hall. After seeing him, he hurriedly came forward and said coquettishly: "It's such a cold day, where did the second master go so early in the morning? I I've stewed bird's nest porridge for you. Let's drink a bowl of it while it's hot to warm yourself up." "You can just ask Taohong to be delivered to you. Why bother making this trip yourself?" Qianfan said in a nonchalant way. "Serving you, my husband, is what I want. I'm happy with it, so why bother?" Zi Meng said with a sweet smile. Then she caught a glimpse of a few plum blossoms in his hand, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pick them up. After taking it, Qianfan didn't intend to give it to her, but just said lightly: "I'll do it myself." After saying that, he found a blue and white porcelain vase, inserted the white plums into the vase, and carefully arranged them neatly, repeating Enjoy. Zimeng silently took out a clean handkerchief and stood beside him, ready to hand it to him at any time. Qianfan couldn't bear this, so he had to take the towel, wipe his hands gently, and walked to the dining table to sit down. Seeing this, Zimeng hurriedly followed up. After serving him a bowl of bird's nest porridge, she sat opposite him and asked eagerly while watching him drink the porridge: "How does it taste?" Qianfan nodded slightly in response.
He cherished words like gold, which made Zimeng unable to help but feel a little disappointed. She had to think of new things so that she could have more conversations with her husband. She looked at those white plum blossoms and suddenly her heart moved, and she said hurriedly: "I heard that my uncle created a dark fragrance forest for Qingxue. Plum blossoms are planted all over it, which is both fragrant and beautiful. The green calyx and jade butterflies are all specially designed. He was transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River. He went to such great lengths just to make Bo Jiaren smile. From this point of view, their couple is really harmonious. As Qingxue's cousin, I am also very happy for her." "Oh~ Do you really think so." "Don't you think so?" Zimeng asked with some confusion. "It's easy to get something from outside your body, but it's rare to give something sincerely." Qianfan said with a sneer. . "Having said that, you have to learn to give in sometimes," Zimeng said thoughtfully. "Qingxue really shouldn't have spoken recklessly that day and annoyed her father. No wonder my uncle would teach her a lesson." "Hmph, Mu Aoshan is simply an arrogant, brave and foolhardy man. Don't mention him in front of me from now on." Qianfan said with some annoyance. After saying that, he had no intention of drinking porridge, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and took the vase to eat. Go to the study. Zi Meng stared at his back sadly, and murmured with tears in her eyes: "You went to Anxiang Forest just to meet her who made you worried about her; Xue Xia Zhe Mei also wanted to use this to express your longing for her. Could it be that she actually Is it so flawless that you can no longer tolerate other women in your eyes and heart?"
After arriving at the study room, Qianfan lightly closed the door to isolate all the complication. Then he sat down at the desk and began to study the ink. After studying the ink, he concentrated on the few white plum blossoms and began to draw them one stroke at a time. After painting the white plum blossoms, I deliberately added a little bit of flying snow on the branches and petals of the plum blossoms. The spotless, pure and flawless snow resembles her who is simple and innocent, never pretentious. I really want to hold her in my arms and gently caress her, giving her all the warmth; hugging each other while sleeping and talking to each other to relieve the pain of intense lovesickness. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but write a few words next to the painting, and wrote: The plum shadow has a fragrant posture, and the faint fragrance floats; the ice muscle and snow bones are desolate and unconventional. After writing, I was in a daze for a while, and then murmured in a low voice: "The noble man is lying in the snow-covered mountains, and the beauty is coming under the moonlit forest. The cold shadows are sparse, the bamboos are rustling, and the spring is covering the lingering fragrance of the desert moss. There is no good way to go. Chanting, the east wind's melancholy and silence will blow away several times."
Zimeng, who was clearing the table, suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Looking back, it turned out to be Shui Hanshuang walking in with her two personal maids. Zimeng hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, lowered her hands and called out respectfully: "Sister." "Yes." After Shui Hanshuang responded, he asked arrogantly, "How did I hear that you just walked through the door? Are you going to make Xianzi angry with Qianfan and make him unhappy?" "I really don't know where to start with these words." Zimeng opened her eyes wide and said aggrievedly. "Otherwise, why would he not sleep in the early hours of the morning? Instead, he went out to relax. It was freezing and snowy outside. Can you afford it?" Faced with her repeated questions, Zimeng didn't know how to answer, so he could only hesitate. He said quietly: "Perhaps, the second master felt a little upset, so..." "That's strange. Logically speaking, you two just got married. It was a deep affection. When we were in love with each other, why did he do it? Are you feeling upset?" She was still reluctant. Hearing this, Zimeng became more and more embarrassed and speechless. She couldn't tell everything about Qianfan's obsession with Qingxue. In this case, she would not only be accused of gossiping, but she would also be in an embarrassing situation where she could not be ashamed of herself. middle. Thinking of this, she calmly said: "It's all because of my sister's incompetence. I will reflect on my mistakes. I also ask my sister to forgive me and teach me in the future." Once these words came out, Shui Hanshuang couldn't say anything else. She happened to catch a glimpse of the bird's nest porridge on the dining table, and took the opportunity to ridicule: "It seems that your craftsmanship, sister, is not to our husband's taste." "It's true that I am too smart." Zimeng simply came up. , took her arm and said affectionately, "In the future, I must study more Buddhist scriptures with you, sister." "If you don't worship the Bodhisattva in your family, you have wasted many years of studying Buddhism. That's what people like you are talking about." Shui Hanshuang looked around and asked, "Where's Qianfan? Why don't you see anyone else?" "Oh, I thought he must be a little tired after getting up too early, so I asked him to take a nap." "Then... ...He wasn't cold this morning, right? Let me check on him." Shui Hanshuang said rather uneasily. "Second Master has told me not to disturb his dreams if he has nothing to do," Zi Meng said with a smile, "Why don't you go to my sister's place? My sister still needs to ask you for advice on how to cook bird's nest porridge just right." He pulled her away without any explanation.
