Side Story III: (Yan Xiu) Sauvignon Blanc (Part 2)

Every time Yan He went on a war, Xia Chengxiu would wait for him in the mansion. He changed from one person to two people, but what he waited for was bad news.

In the first year after Yan He left, everyone thought that Xia Chengxiu would cry and be sad all day long, but what she showed was shocking peace.

Mu Xia was taken good care of by her, and Lin Shuanghe often came to see her. Xia Chengxiu still smiled and did what she was doing in an orderly manner. However, sometimes when she woke up at night, she would subconsciously try to touch the person around her until her hands touched the cold mattress, and she seemed to realize that the person who warmed her was no longer there, and she finally fell silent.

In the fifth year after Yan He left, Commander Yan and Mrs. Yan took the initiative to persuade Xia Chengxiu to remarry. Xia Chengxiu is not old at this age, and there are no widows in Shuojing. She is gentle and gentle in nature, and she is the daughter of Lord Xia. She said that the family may not be good. Xia Chengxiu politely declined.

Xia Chengxiu said: "I have Muxia, that's enough."

A new "Yongxu Hall" was opened in the capital. Xia Chengxiu often went to help. She arranged her life in full swing and continued to live a life without Yan He calmly. He Yan often came to talk to her. Xia Chengxiu knew that she was worried about herself, but since she was a child, she was a person who would not worry. Just like Yan He saw her for the first time back then, she never let herself suffer.

In the tenth year after Yan He left, Mu Xia had already looked like a young boy. His eyebrows looked very similar to Yan He, and he was a little more delicate than Yan He. He was already very good at gunpoint. He and Xiao Jue would come to give him guidance on his sword skills when they got empty. He often provoked Xiao Jue, tied his high ponytail and held a silver spear, and said, "Governor Xiao, in a few years, you will become my defeated general."

Of course, the ending was that Xiao Jue was thrown into the tree. However, although he had never beat Xiao Jue, he found the scene in Xiao Yao in the name of the competition, the so-called "father's debt to repay the daughter".

In the fifteenth year after Yan He left, Muxia had a girl she liked.

The young man was stunned when he saw his mother coming in. When he saw his sweetheart come in, he hurriedly hid the sachet he gave him. Xia Chengxiu smiled and sat down next to him.

"Do you like this girl very much?" she asked.

Yan Muxia subconsciously retorted, "Who likes her?" But his ears turned red quietly.

Xia Chengxiu touched his head: "Then remember to be nice to her."

The boy pretended to be calm and looked away, holding his face red, and said with little confidence: "Hmph."

In the 20th year after Yan He left, Yan Muxia married the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, the girl he liked at the age of fifteen. She gave birth to a daughter, named Yan Baose, with the small name Niao Niao.

Yan Muxia is very nice to Niao Niao's mother and daughter. It was rumored in Shuojing that year that the General Yan of Guide, Yan Nanguang, was a wife. Now when he saw Yan Muxia treating his wife and daughter, he realized that his son inherited his father's business and inherited his lineage.

Niao Niao looks like her mother and is closest to her grandmother Xia Chengxiu. Her temperament is not as lively as Yan Muxia Feiyang, nor as lively as her mother. Others say that she is very similar to Xia Chengxiu back then, she is gentle and quiet, soft and strong.

In the 25th year after Yan He left, five-year-old Niao Niao was playing in the mansion and took out a cloth bag from under his grandfather's old bed.

No one has moved Yan He's study for many years. He kept his original appearance and was cleaned by Xia Chengxiu every day. He had been persistent for more than 20 years. Unconsciously, he asked Niao Niao to slip in. Niao Niao was small and got into the innermost part of the study. He found a treasure wrapped in red cloth. After thinking about it, Niao Niao still handed the cloth into Xia Chengxiu like offering treasures.

After many years, when Xia Chengxiu saw what Yan He left behind, she trembled while stroking the red cloth hand. She opened the cloth bag and the sunlight came in from the window, making her narrow her eyes slightly. After so many years, she has become old and her eyes are not as good as Qingming in the past. It took her a long time to see clearly. It was a book with some "Happy Travels".

The book has been stored for a long time, and the pages have turned yellow. Because it is placed in the dark all day long, it has a decayed tide. Niao Niao has been attracted by the Bailing outside the courtyard and ran out. Xia Chengxiu's eyes fell on the page for a long time, and finally remembered a spring day in the past. She followed her cousin to go out for a walk and enjoy the flowers and the book she had left behind.

She was only sixteen years old at that time, and it was her best years. At that time, in spring, the kites on the Si Shui River were tangled. The boy cut off the love of the girl opposite with one knife, and decisively looked like a loveless villain. When he turned around, he picked up the travel notes of her lost behind him and treasured them for so many years.

She slowly opened the pages and was stunned.

At some point, a line of small words was written secretly on the title page of the book.

"The flowers are deep, and the willows are shady. Passing willows through flowers and seeking the sound of faith. Your heart is unto my heart."

The handwriting is hard and frivolous, and it is obvious that it is written by a man. She is not unfamiliar with it. It is Yan He's handwriting.

Time passed by in a flash, and in a flash, it seemed that I could travel through many years. I saw the frivolous young man in silver robe and ponytail sitting in front of the desk, biting his pen in an irritable and restless manner, and almost gritting his teeth and writing such a poem full of grievances and complaints on the title page. It seemed that the resentful woman scolded the unfaithful man who was as hard as iron.

Who would have thought that this was something Yan He could do?

Xia Chengxiu was stunned for a moment and laughed "puff".

The sunlight fell gently between her hair, blurring the starry white hair she had born with, and her smile was like a flowery girl, like the first time she was moved by, and she was completely sweet and happy.

That night, she met Yan He.

He was wearing a new silver robe, arrogant and arrogant attitude, standing in front of her. She was wearing a goose yellow skirt, standing in front of him with a calm tone: "Why did you take my book?"

The young man's originally arrogant expression changed rapidly, and panic came to an instant, but he still tried his best to maintain his calmness. He coughed lightly and said, "I picked it up, it's mine."

"You are still scribbling on it." She pointed out his evil deeds gently.

Yan He's face turned redder and he defended: "That's not a mess..."

"What's not scribbling?"

"Yes..." He tweaked his ponytail irritably, his tone was a little fierce and violent, but the tail sound was filled with a hint of invisible grievance, "It's what you think!"

Xia Chengxiu stared at him and said nothing.

He asked, "What are you...what do you think I'm doing?"

Xia Chengxiu couldn't help laughing. Yan He looked at her at a loss. After a while, she seemed to be touched by Xia Chengxiu's smile, and she laughed, hesitating to reach out and want to pull Xia Chengxiu's hand...

"Ba"

The wind blew the window violently, and Xia Chengxiu opened her eyes. Without Yan He, the mattress beside her was empty. She looked at the tent silently for a while, sat up slowly, and got off the bed barefoot.

It was late at night and the ground was very cold.

This was the 25th spring day after Yan He left. She woke up from her dream, couldn't sleep, slowly sat on the ground, buried her head in her knees, and for the first time she had cried silently in so many years.

Life is said to be slow, a day is long, and it is said to be fast, and it is a lifetime in the blink of an eye.

In the 30th year after Yan He left, Xia Chengxiu died of illness.

The descendants were guarding her before her collapse. The woman was quiet and gentle all her life, and was always calm and gentle. At the time of her death, she only handed over a book to Yan Muxia and told him to bury herself with Yan He.
