As soon as I got downstairs, I happened to meet Pei Yuanxiu. He seemed to have made an agreement with the boss and was ready to come up to pick me up. However, he saw that I had come down by myself and hurriedly greeted me: "Are you feeling better?"

I smiled: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it all the time."

He also smiled: "My bride, can I not hang on?"

"Nasty."

I smiled and shook my head. He looked at me and showed a happy smile. He put his arms around me, half-hugging me, and turned around and walked out of February Red.

The boss was still standing at the gate to see him off, but in front of him, the attendants and carriages he arranged had stopped across the street. I followed him and walked over. When I got on the carriage, I couldn't help but turn around and look at the carriage.

The third floor of the restaurant.

The figure was still standing by the window, but the sun was too bright, so I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. Only the mask that shone under the sunlight reflected a little cold light.

And in his hand, he seemed to be gently turning the jade ring.

I didn't say anything the whole way back. Pei Yuanxiu just thought that I wasn't feeling very well, so he asked me to sit next to him. He stretched out one hand to caress my cheek and asked me to lean on his shoulder, and said softly:

"Get some sleep."

A smile appeared on my face, I didn't speak, I just closed my eyes gently.

But closing your eyes doesn't mean you can't see anything. In the darkness, half of the mask and half of the face still emerge.

If, after Wangjiangting, I still had some doubts, now, I really believe it.

He forgot about me.

Even if he sees the tender affection between me and Pei Yuanxiu, he will be subconsciously displeased. Even if he knows that he and I have known each other, he will keep asking, but he has really forgotten me.

Completely forgotten.

I couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of my lips.

God's arrangement is really interesting. When I needed someone to save me the most, he made me fall in love with him. When I gave up on Pei Yuanhao, he made me fall in love with him. When I was struggling in pain in the palace, he made me fall in love with him.

Entering the palace...

When I have Pei Yuanxiu by my side, let him forget about me.

Everything is like a play.

Compared with the original stage, Huang Tianba and Chang Qing's movements were more smooth and natural. All the actions, all the lyrics, all the complexes, all the endings were already scripted and arranged.

, no one can change it, no one can look back.

This is the play between me and him.

In my life, his role is over.

But what about in his own world? Where is he going? What kind of drama is he going to write?

Today on February Red, the few guests he entertained were just passing by in the stairwell, but I could already tell that those people were not locals, and their accents were wrong, but they seemed to be from the Zhoushan and Songjiang generation; although they were dressed in

They were all wearing ordinary casual clothes, and it was easy to get lost in the crowd when walking on the street, but I saw that one of the people who said goodbye to him had a dark brand tied around his waist, which was actually the Mo Jade brand.<

/p>

You can faintly see that the carvings on the jade plaque are Xuanwu.

In the Celestial Dynasty, few people wear Xuanwu jewelry, except for one kind of people - people who live by the sea.

Time passed like this day by day.

Yangzhou is busy, and so is Jinling.

Pei Yuanxiu and I's wedding is getting closer and closer, and people in the house are getting busier and busier. Almost every day, I can see the attendants going up and down. Sometimes I don't know what they are busy with.

But seeing how hurried they were, it was hard to stop and ask.

Therefore, although everyone is busy for me, I am the most leisurely one.

During this period, I also heard that the opening of navigation on the Yangtze River has indeed made things more convenient for the people on both sides of the Yangtze River. Everyone applauded and applauded. After the exchange of information, more news from Yangzhou can be heard.

It is said that all the posts about Liu Qinghan’s Thousand Old Man’s Banquet have been downloaded. Not only in Yangzhou, but also centenarians from the nearby state capital have been invited by him. He even sent people to drive carriages to invite those old people, and there were even two

Liu Qinghan personally invited the old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and now he is temporarily living in the official residence.

There are many folk rumors, some good and some bad, but most of them still praise him for respecting the elderly and the virtuous, being honest and dedicated to the public, and having the character of Mr. Liu Shizhou and Mr. Liu Yi.

And his move has indeed stabilized people's hearts.

I listened to the chattering voices of the maids and servants outside the window, smiled lightly, and continued to sit by the window, quietly embroidering flowers.

When I finally finished the last stitch, I raised my sore neck and looked outside, it was already noon.

The weather has become less good.

Layers of dark clouds gathered, covering up the bright sunshine in the morning, and a gust of wind blew by, rolling the leaves in the yard and making a rustling sound.

And Pei Yuanxiu came with the coolness of the wind.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw me sitting by the window and walked over with a smile. When he saw the bandage in my hand, he was startled: "This is——"

I smiled, took off the veil from the bandage, and put it in my hand: "Does it look good?"

He didn't speak immediately, but after identifying it, he said, "Is it the one you embroidered before?"

"Yeah." I smiled and nodded.

When he was recuperating at my house after being shot by an arrow in Jixiang Village, I embroidered this handkerchief in my spare time. However, I didn't finish it at that time. I had free time today and embroidered the last few maple leaves. The color and pattern were just right.

It just so happens that when I hold it in my hand and look at it, I feel it is very beautiful.

Pei Yuanxiu looked down for a while, but instead of praising my craftsmanship with a smile as usual, he said calmly: "Why, embroidery on coarse cloth?"

I raised my head, looked at him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I don't need it anyway."

"Then why embroider?"

I smiled, but changed the subject: "By the way, I have something to tell you."

"What happened?"

"I'll be ready to cross the river later."

He was stunned for a moment.

What I said was that I was going to cross the river later, so I just told him instead of asking him. He didn't look moved, he just sat next to me and said, "What's the matter?"

"Go and ask for something."

"What is so important? Can't we go in a few days?"

I smiled: "In a few days, it will be too late."

I said, softly: "Don't worry, you'll be back soon. You don't need to bring many people with me, just ask Ping'er to accompany me there."

He glanced at me and said nothing. He was silent for a while and said softly: "It's windy outside, remember to put on some clothes."

"Hmm."

It can be seen that he is not very willing for me to go out at this time. After all, it is already the end of February, and my wedding will be in two or three days. At this time, there is nothing to do when crossing the river, and he still wants to cross the river.

Keep your heart up for nothing.

However, I had already spoken and he did not stop me.

After a while, the carriage was guarded outside the door. Ping'er stood beside the carriage and carefully helped me get into the carriage. I sat beside the bed and raised the curtain, and saw Pei Yuanxiu still standing at the door, saying calmly.

:"Come back early."

I nodded lightly and the carriage drove forward.

When we arrived at the dock, we changed boats. It was still the same boatman as before, safe and quiet. Ping'er stood with him on the bow of the boat. Seeing the river bank on the other side slowly approaching, he finally seemed to be unable to bear it and turned around.

She turned around and looked at me: "Aunt Qing, what are you going to do when you cross the river today?"

I looked ahead and said nothing. Ping'er looked at me for a long time and didn't speak again. But when the boat was about to dock, I suddenly murmured: "Ping'er, Aunt Qing gives you something."<

/p>

He looked at me: "What?"

I squeezed my hand and stretched it out, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

A thing wrapped in red cloth fell heavily into his palm. Ping'er was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and was about to get it, when he heard me say softly: "Open it after I leave."

"Why?"

I stared blankly ahead. At this time, the boat had slowly reached the pier. The hull of the boat shook. I also trembled, as if I had just woken up at this time. I turned my head and looked at him, and said with a faint smile:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to let go."

Ping'er looked at me slightly surprised.

As soon as the boat docked, I climbed onto the trestle and asked Ping'er and the boatman to wait for me. Originally, Ping'er wanted to accompany me into the city, but I refused.

I walked slowly towards the city alone. I was not unfamiliar with this road. Although the weather was bad, Yangzhou people seemed to be in a good mood. The streets and alleys were still busy with traffic and people. Maybe it was because of the thousands of people.

Because of the old man's banquet, you can really see a lot of old people on the street. It seems that when I came to Yangzhou a year ago, although there was no war, the expression on everyone's face was uncertain.

, now, it seems that the clouds have broken open, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

However, today's weather is not that good.

I slowly walked to the door of Eryuehong. When the boss saw me, he immediately came up to me: "Madam? Why is the madam here again today? We are already preparing to close the store tomorrow and have to cross the river to prepare for the wedding banquet of the madam and the young master.

."

I glanced upstairs: "Take me to the third floor."

"Third floor?" The boss looked at me and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Mr. Liu, you are on the third floor."

I smiled lightly: "I know, he comes to drink alone these days, right?"

The boss was startled and said nothing for a while.

"I have something to talk to him about."

The boss looked at me again and said nothing, but carefully guided me: "Please, madam."

I followed him upstairs and listened to the footsteps echoing in the narrow stairwell. I had never felt the footsteps so loud before. Maybe it was because the footsteps were too heavy. When I walked up to the third floor, I felt slightly

Breathing a little, I stood still holding on to the wooden railing. I saw a person sitting there by the huge window. The table in front of me was empty, with only a pot of wine and a glass.

Hearing my footsteps, he also turned his head.

The half of the intact face showed a surprised expression, while the mask on the other half of the face looked like condensed ice.

So cool and thin.
