Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Eight

The autumn rain continued for three days and three nights, and finally stopped on the day I left Lanchao.The sky after washing was light blue and light blue, without a trace of white cloud or an inch of golden glow.The sky is bright but not bright, the grass beside the road is luxuriant, and the thin morning light and residual raindrops see through the sparse leaf gaps. The autumn wind hits, one after another, blowing my hair on the temples, getting into my skirt, lifting my skirt, and fulfilling the plain white dandelion in the cracks of the mottled bluestones.The white catkins flying all over the sky fluttered towards the row of herringbone flying shadows in the air, chasing the eternity of a moment with the whole life, confused the eyes of everyone in the long pavilion, and also confused my parting Yiyi's heart.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, Wu Jian's clear eyes are as warm as water, and the ripples in his eyes are layer after layer, rippling in circles in the lake of my heart. He clung to my hand and asked softly: "Farewell, the clouds and the sun set, if the longing is like the long wind last night, piercing to the bone, how can I be myself?" I stared straight at him, the long and tall figure blocked the shivering autumn wind for me, the spring-like brows and eyes held the melancholy of autumn, and the corners of the tightly pursed mouth were closed with a sad sigh.

"Wait for me..." In this situation, no amount of words can erase the sorrow of parting.All I can do is to leave firmly, I can't be sad, I can't leave Wujian with more reluctance and worry. "You are always like this, when will I see your weakness?" The low voice floated in the air, and was soon crushed by the autumn wind. "I thought I was weak enough last night." I picked his palm and winked at him. He looked up to the sky and smiled, which attracted the attention of everyone in the long pavilion.Last night, he seemed to make up for the emptiness of the more than ten days of my illness. Like a raging fire, I couldn't stop begging for mercy, and the night rain outside the window boiled into water vapor. All turned into ashes, the flying powder mixed with the white water vapor, condensed into mist, drop by drop, drop by drop, fell into the powder tent, splashing the beautiful scenery all over the bed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you..." After the laughter stopped, two pieces of warmth pressed against my lips, there was no intensity, only lingering and lingering.Many unfinished words are buried in that tenderness. After this entanglement, I suddenly felt that the surroundings were abnormally quiet, only the chirping of geese came from the air. As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked into a pair of deep eyes, like the end of the night sky, lonely, boundless, and so dark that I couldn't breathe. Jun Luobei stood behind Wujian at some point, with black hair and white clothes, pale and transparent face like a jade carving, standing in the autumn wind like white snow in winter, which can be melted away by just a little sunlight.

I am a little dazed, at this moment, Junluobei is ethereal and delicate, like the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, with tall petals bred on the strong rhizomes, but the delicate lotus heart is protected in the tall petals. I shook my head and threw this sudden thought out of my mind. Who is Jun Luobei? He is the current prince and the future emperor. How could he be able to climb to the highest position in the Golden Luan Hall when he was weak? , the blood is cold, the heart is iron. I was immersed in my thoughts, but I didn't see the faint light in Wu Jian's eyes.Flowers are doomed to fall, clouds are doomed to haste, origin is doomed to extinction, many things are doomed from the beginning to its end, only by experiencing it in ten feet of soft red, can we deeply understand the helplessness of fate and the ruthlessness of time .

"See Your Highness the Prince." Wu Jian took the lead in saluting. "Exemption." Jun Luobei held up a hand, "Today, I was ordered by the emperor to see Mrs. Tingwei off, and I sent four guards to accompany her. I hope Mrs. Tingwei can fulfill her wish and return to the Lan Dynasty as soon as possible." "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." I bowed my head and saw a pair of trousers soaked in yesterday's autumn rain. "Take care." He dropped the last two words, turned and walked away, his long hair and leucorrhea flashed across my eyes, leaving a beautiful arc.

"Lan'er, let's go on the road too. Uncle Hai knows the route to the south, you should listen to him more on the way." Wu Jian brushed up a strand of wind-blown hair and stuffed it behind my ear, with a soft voice, Like the sound of autumn dripping under the eaves last night. "Well, I'm leaving. Take care of your parents and sister. Don't worry about me. I'll send you a message when I have a chance." I smiled hard, waved my hand at him, and turned to board the carriage. The curtain of the car was lowered, and the upright and flying figure of Wujian disappeared from my sight, and the corners of his eyes were unconsciously wet.After all, parting is sad, and I hope there will be no such sad in the future.

As the shaft of the car moved forward, the sound of the qin could be heard slowly, clear and light like thin clouds and light mist, mellow like a mountain spring, melodious like a gentle breeze, high-pitched like the sound of pines in thousands of ravines, you can hear the skill of the player who played the qin is very superb.The first half of the sound of the piano is impassioned and joyful, while the second half is full of desolation and sadness, but there is no lack of lingering sadness. "It's been a long time since I heard the young master play the piano, and the music played by the young master is still so moving!" Uncle Hai, who was driving the car, sighed suddenly.

I felt sore when I heard it, the sadness and lingering in the sound of the piano are so long and melodious, no one who has a heart will never be able to play such feelings and lingering. No problem, I will definitely come back as soon as possible.I silently swear in my heart. This time I went south, dressed in men's clothing, pretending to be a handsome young man visiting relatives and friends with his servants and guards, and he looked full of style.In fact, I also want to keep a low profile, but the carriage Wujian prepared for me is luxurious and comfortable, with perilla brocade curtains, gold-painted carvings, four white horses without a trace of variegation, and a full eight people of attendants. Disaster.

After walking for nearly ten days on the road, I finally came to Wancheng.According to Uncle Hai, Wancheng is the largest city from the border of Fengguo, and it is also one of the most important strategic locations on the border of Lan Dynasty. After passing Wancheng and walking for three days, you can reach Fengguo. I was very happy and told everyone to find an inn to rest for two days before starting.After ten consecutive days of driving, I was also a little tired. No matter how comfortable a carriage is, it would inevitably bump. I couldn't help but miss the Ford in my previous life.

Laixi, Uncle Hai, Yubai, Yujing and four guards, a group of nine people, and I walked into a nice-looking inn called "Xilai". Laixi puffed her cheeks and was unhappy. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.When passing by this inn just now, everyone stopped the carriage at the word "Xi Lai" and all laughed and said that this inn was the most suitable.At the time I read it and felt very kind, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, but the girl Laixi felt that the name of a girl's family was quite similar to the name of an inn, and she felt extremely wronged. "Okay, little Ximei, those two words are not in the same order as your name, so there's nothing to worry about. Big brother will accompany you to the market later." I comforted Laixi in a soft voice. The girl's dark eyeballs have a touch of moisture, which really makes me love her so much. "Okay, thank you big brother, I finally don't have to travel every day after being out for so long." Laixi cheered while tugging at my sleeves, her palm-sized face was flushed with excitement. I looked at her happy face but smiled silently. This is the first time she has left the capital in eighteen years. No matter how demure and gentle she is on weekdays, she can't help jumping like a bird for joy. Maybe the pair of wings in her heart at this moment have already disappeared. It was thumping and thumping. "Young master, miss, all guests, welcome to our inn." The shopkeeper nodded and bowed and stood up from behind the counter to welcome us. "Five upper rooms." Uncle Hai took out a few ingots of silver and put them in the hands of the shopkeeper. "Ah, what a coincidence. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and the city will hold the annual Chrysanthemum Festival. There are so many guests staying in the hotel, and there are only three rooms left. Can the guests be aggrieved and make it up? Squeeze." The shopkeeper said with a look of embarrassment. "No, how can our son feel wronged and live in the next room." A guard named Hei Xuan said firmly. "Yes, shopkeeper, can you help us find a room?" Uncle Hai also spoke. "This, I really can't find it. Wancheng's annual chrysanthemum festival is the most grand and grand flower festival in several nearby cities. At this time of year, many outsiders will come to enjoy the flowers. If you come tomorrow, you may I can’t even live in one of the servants.” The shopkeeper said quite sincerely. "Forget it, let's find another place." I said. "You don't need to look any further. There must be no rooms available in other inns. I've reserved two rooms, so let me give you one." A crisp voice sounded from behind me. I turned around in surprise, and there was a 28-year-old girl in red clothes standing in front of me. The skirt was so bright red that I seemed to see a burning flame.The girl's pink lips are full of smiles, two pears are floating on the corners of her mouth, her two watery eyes are curved into crescent moons, her petite figure is graceful, and her willow waist, which cannot be grasped, sets off the round and plump twin peaks on her chest. She was about to come out, her curvaceous buttocks were charming, her face like an angel and her figure like a devil were probably enough to describe a wonderful person like her. "Thank you, miss. I am very grateful." After looking at her, I saluted and thanked her. "If you really want to thank me, my lord, why don't you accompany me to enjoy the flowers tomorrow?" The girl in red gave me a big smile, the dimples at the corners of her mouth became more and more obvious, and the crescent moon almost stretched into a thin line. The feather-like eyelashes are painted with thick ink under the eyes. "It's my honor." I agreed with a smile. I am very happy to make friends with such a lovely girl who is full of vigor and smile, and she also helped me just now. When our group went upstairs, we met Yan Qi. I opened my eyes wide in surprise, inexplicably surprised.Yan Qi also looked at me with surprise. "Brother." "Lan'er." We both spoke at the same time, and the excitement and joy were self-evident. Yan Qi pulled me to sit down at a table in the inn, the girl in red said goodbye to me with a smile, and Lai Xi followed her to tidy up the room. "Grandpa said you were out on errands, but I ran into you only ten days after I came out." I said cheerfully. "Why did you come to Wancheng?" Yan Qi asked me while pouring me tea. I had no choice but to tell him the ins and outs of going south, and I was ready to be punished in my heart. "It's a rare opportunity to come out, you should seize the opportunity to see more and play more." Yan Qi encouraged me with a smile, and did not blame me for being willful like my grandfather. I smiled happily: "I came out to do things, not to play, and Wu Jian is still looking forward to me day and night at home." "Hey, I started thinking about your husband-in-law within a few days after I came out. It seems that your marriage is much better this time than last time." "What nonsense are you talking about!" I gave him a sidelong glance, "Stop being so outspoken in the future." "Yes, yes." He smiled embarrassingly, "I'm so happy too. When my grandfather and I heard Mulan say that she saw your room as a sign of living alone, we were so angry. Then we came to see Mr. Yu To please you in every possible way, we all wished that you would marry him, but we didn't expect it to come true later on." I was quite emotional when I heard it, no wonder he gave me meaningful and narrow eyes twice when I was with Wujian.He and grandpa sincerely hope that I will live well. "Wujian treated me very well, and I'm very glad that I married him." I said with a smile, making no secret of my satisfaction with my newlywed life. "It's good for you." He nodded with a smile. "By the way," he said again as if remembering something, "I saw him in the Rouge Building a few times when I was discussing business with others, you have to keep an eye on him in the future." I laughed out loud: "So you also went to the place of fireworks?" There was a moment of embarrassment on his face, and he reasoned nonchalantly: "I'm just going to discuss business, you must not tell Mu Lan, I will be miserable if she finds out." "Wujian is just going to talk to friends about things." I justified Wujian based on his words. "Well, well, I've only been married for a month and I've turned my whole heart towards him. If something goes wrong in the future, don't blame the elder brother for not reminding you. There are not many men who can't sit still. You have to learn from your sister-in-law. Every day when I go back home, she will sniff around my sleeves, and I really dare not mess around." Yan Qi shook his head, speaking in a serious manner. I burst out laughing, I really couldn't imagine Mulan sniffing around like a police dog, I giggled for a long time before I stopped, and said seriously: "I believe in Wujian." Husband and wife should trust each other. The brightness and love in his eyes are so generous and clear, which makes me trust him and be attached to him from the bottom of my heart. Even if he has something to hide from me, I don't think he will hurt me.White lies are sometimes necessary, as if I didn't tell him that Jun Luobei kissed me forcefully.Sometimes the truth hurts more than a lie.
