He smiled and made a gesture: "Go and see if you like it or not."

I held the fence of the stone bridge and walked slowly down. Through the exquisite courtyard gate, I saw a path inside winding and secluded. In the faint mist, I could see the three and five temples in the distance, which seemed quiet and elegant, and all of this appeared in the bamboo forest.

The entire inner courtyard is already full of bamboo.

The green bamboo leaves were moistened by the mist, and some of the leaves had condensed a little dew, clear and transparent. I just looked from a distance and could smell the fragrance of the bamboo leaves and feel the warm breath in the air. That feeling made me feel like I was in a dream. The path under my feet slowly extended to the front, and the winding path was in the secluded place. What kind of scenery was there?

Or, who will be there?

I was in a daze and looked at the end of the path, as if I could see a slowly appearing figure from this bamboo forest.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded in his ears—

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

“…”

The scenery in front of me gradually became clear. I looked motionlessly, feeling a sense of trance awakening from my dream. I turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "How could it be, like this?"

I still clearly remember that I saw the inner courtyard not long ago. Although it was elegant and quiet, there were no bamboo forests yet, and there were only some simple flowers and plants. Why did there be so many bamboos in just a few days?

Pei Yuanxiu smiled gently and said, "When you were in Yangzhou, did you like that villa very much?"

I was stunned for a moment.

"I think you don't like it anywhere, you just like those bamboo forests."

“…”

"So I asked someone to quickly move some of them over these days, and I only packed them all today."

“…”

"Do you like it? You will live here in the future."

"..." Somehow, my throat was choked. I paused for a moment before saying softly: "Even if I like it, there is no need to do this."

"If you like it, I want to give it to you."

Looking at his gentle smile, I felt that my chest was so heavy that I could hardly bear it: "Young master, actually I-"

"Qingying," he interrupted me, still smiling: "I said, I'll give it to you, just take it."

“…”

I looked at him and couldn't speak.

He walked in with his sleeves, and the winding path was deep and the temple was elegant. When he pushed the door, he could see the simple layout inside. There were four round tables and four stools in the middle of the room, and a set of teapots and tea cups were placed on it. Against the wall was a mahogany cabinet, a dressing table, a bronze mirror, and a simple dressing box and a few gadgets. There was a big bed in the inner room, and the milky white bed curtain was embroidered with small flowers, which were simple and exquisite. The whole room was very simple, with everything that should be had, and there were not many more. Just at the other end of the room, there was a bookshelves, a book case, and a pen, ink, paper and ink on it.

In addition to the fragrance of bamboo leaves outside, the room also has a faint fragrance of pen and ink.

I walked slowly over, my slender fingertips stroked the smooth table, and stroked the spine of the booklets on the bookshelf. In a trance, I seemed to be back when I was still in the inner hall, thinking that I could have a tomorrow if I was guarding a tranquility.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sour and my eyes were a little hot.

Although I didn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel something. He walked to me and looked down at me: "What's wrong?"

He didn't want to see me like this, so he hurriedly lowered his head: "It's okay."

He stopped talking, but his eyes were still looking at me without relaxing for a moment. I could only keep my head down. I don’t know how long it took to calm myself down. He didn’t speak anymore, but just followed me. His gentle gaze ironed me, as if he could feel the temperature of his sight from the cool air in the evening. In such a room, I was afraid to meet his gaze, so I could only turn my head and see the wide open window in front of the desk. The bamboo leaves reflected by green outside outlined a beautiful and quiet picture outside.

I was in a daze for a moment of sight.

At this time, I heard Pei Yuanxiu ask me softly: "Do you like it?"

"..." The emerald green reflected in my eyes, I was silent for a while, and nodded gently.

.

From that night, I moved into this monastery in the inner courtyard.

It is indeed very comfortable to arrange here, and I have really used it. The mattress is also dry and soft. When I lie on it, I feel like I am in a pile of clouds. I can't climb out if I fall into it. But for some reason, in such a comfortable place, I can't sleep anymore. I have to toss and turn on the bed every night until dawn, and I can barely close my eyes and sleep for a while.

This was the case again that night. The drum beat had been beaten several times. I still opened my eyes wide and didn't feel sleepy. I was struggling until I didn't know when. It was about to dawn in a while, so I simply got up, put on a coat, pushed the door and walked out.

Once spring comes, the south is warm very quickly, but it is still cool at night. I only put on one piece of clothing, pushed the door out, and immediately a cool breeze hits, and I feel a little coolness on my face.

When I reached out and touched my fingertips immediately got water.

It was the night dew that sprinkled from the bamboo forest, which was blowing with the wind. I pulled my clothes tightly and walked over slowly. The bamboo forest was very quiet. The bright light of a full moon in the sky made the place quiet and elegant.

This place is indeed a beautiful place.

However—Maybe Pei Yuanxiu wouldn’t know that I once lived in a residence that was hundreds of times more beautiful than here, and lived a life that was more luxurious and depressed than now. My past was once very difficult, but equally, I was extremely rich.

I can't say I'm satisfied with such a life, but I've tasted it a long time ago and nothing special.

He didn't know that I didn't like this residence or this noble bamboo. I just couldn't forget the person in the bamboo forest.

But he made me live in this manor, but it made me constantly think of it, constantly remember it-

It is also so quiet, the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves and the coolness of night dew...

——!

I suddenly reached out to hold a thick bamboo, and shook it hard, and I heard a rush. The dew on the bamboo leaves suddenly fell down like rain, wetting my face and wet the coat on my body. A chill suddenly came, causing me to tremble.

I gritted my teeth and grabbed the bamboo hard.

It turns out that this is the feeling...

It turns out that the torment in my heart really can't calm down. Even if I poured a piece of cold water on myself, there was nothing I could do.

what do I do?

what do I do……?

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from behind me, saying it was noisy, but it was not too loud, but it seemed a little amazing on such a quiet night. I subconsciously turned around and was blocked by the bamboo forest and the high walls. I could only faintly see the firelight in the outer courtyard, as if someone had entered the courtyard, causing some accident.

What's going on so late?

I put my clothes together and walked out carefully. After walking a few steps, a maid who was vigilant immediately came over and saw me like this and immediately said, "Madam Qingying, how can you just wear it like this and catch a cold."

"It's okay." I asked, "What's wrong outside?"

"It seems someone is coming back to report."

"Report?"

When I heard this, I frowned slightly: "If it was just a reply, why would it be so noisy?"

While thinking, he subconsciously walked out. The maid was so scared that she hurriedly supported me: "Madam Qingying, you will catch a cold when you go out like this. Wait until I bring you clothes."

I nodded and stood at the gate of the yard without moving. The maid was quick and quickly took my clothes over. I barely put them on and tidy them up, and then she helped them out. But as soon as I walked out, I saw a figure coming from the arch bridge.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Pei Yuanxiu.

He also held a lantern in his hand. Although he had the status of him, there should be someone to accompany him wherever he went, but every time he came to the inner courtyard to see me, he was always alone, and this time was no exception. When he saw us coming out, he hurriedly came forward: "Qingying, why haven't you sleep?"

"I heard a sound outside, so I came out and saw it. What's wrong?"

"Well……"

Seeing that he was like this, he was clearly going to come to the inner courtyard to find me, but when I asked, he hesitated. The more I felt something was wrong, especially in the yard behind him, the lights were brightly lit, and there seemed to be many people getting up and preparing for something. A faint haze in my heart, and I hurriedly looked at him: "What's wrong? Tell me."

His face was also a little gloomy and he didn't speak immediately. He just waved his hand to the maid beside me. The maid immediately leaned over and retreated. Pei Yuanxiu came over and took my hand, carefully taking me back to the monastery. He was led by him and sat by the bed. Although the room was warm, I couldn't warm it up at this time. Instead, my whole body was shaking unconsciously, and my teeth were frozen and kept pounding.

He put the lantern aside, lit the candlestick on the table, and then slowly walked up to me and squatted down: "Qingying."

"What's wrong?"

"You promise me that no matter what happens, don't be excited."

"What's the matter?"

"Whatever it is," he looked up and looked into my eyes: "I can handle it, and I can handle it!"

His eyes were always warm, but he also had the same firmness as ever in the warmth, and it remained unchanged. My slender and cold fingertips were held in the palm of my hand, so that I could feel a little temperature, which was also the temperature that calmed me a little.

I said softly, "Okay, I promise you. You said."

He then took a deep breath and said, "There was something unexpected on Li'er's way back."

“…!”

It is undeniable that I had such a premonition since he appeared.

But when the matter was really told from him, I still felt like I was about to be dizzy, and my eyes were dark.

Li'er, something unexpected happened?!

I have been waiting for my daughter for so many years and so many days. Every day I count the days when she comes back with my fingers, but I waited for news about her accident!
