Chapter 241

After the Jiang family moved out of Yanjing City, Jiang Li really lived in the government.

Jiang Li's attitude was seen by many people in Yanjing city. Over the past few months, Emperor Hong Xiaodi has successively dealt with the former dissident ministers in the court and in the field, replacing them with trusted upstarts. The pattern of North Korea and China has completely reversed, and the territory of Beiyan has opened a new situation.

However, even so, the fruit was as expected by Jiang Li at first. Ji's death made some of Ji's enemies in the past ready to move. For this reason, some people who waited to see if Ji Heng would be killed halfway were completely relieved and began to deal with Ji Heng.

Jiang Li lives in the government house and has been guarding it. Some ministers said that emperor Hong Xiaodi deprived the Ji family of the title, just because if Jiang Li remarried to others in the future, the title would fall on others. Jiang Li went to the palace and asked for his life, saying that he would never marry. On the other hand, Xue Huaiyuan also instructed Ye Shijie to exert his power in the court and protect the government.

In the past few months, there have been several storms, and finally everything was safe. Later, those people seemed to have a very indomitable attitude towards Jiang Li, and ye Shijie climbed higher and higher. The most important thing was that emperor Hong Xiaodi's attitude was very obvious. It seemed that he did not intend to take back the title of the state government, so those people also gave up the flag drum. More people are watching the excitement. Jiang Li vowed not to marry for life, but she is a young girl, and her life is long. Now she thinks like this, but in a few years, I'm afraid she will break her promise. If I can't swallow the bitter fruit I brewed, I'm sure it will cause a romantic affair and become the talk of the streets.

Jiang Li knew that those people were interested in watching the excitement, and she didn't care. That is to practice whip technique with Xue Zhao every day. She is not as good as Xue Zhao in martial arts. She simply concentrates on learning to use all kinds of poisoned concealed weapons. Now in Yanjing City, there is no peace of mind. Danger will appear all the time. But now, there will be no Ji Hong again. She has to find a way to protect others.

In Jiang Li's heart, there was another idea that she didn't know how to talk to Xue Huaiyuan. She wanted to live a few more days, so she went to Qimin in person. Now it's snowy and can't go into the mountains. When spring comes, she can go into the mountains. Anyway, she will go in. Ji Heng has been dead until now. Everyone says that he was eaten by beasts. It seemed that the words in the prophecy had been fulfilled, but Jiang Li always felt that he would not be so ruthless. Even if he really can't come back, she has to prove this in person, rather than waiting for the news from others in Yanjing city.

Time seems to pass slowly, but it seems to pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the new year.

I still spent this year in Yanjing city. Jiang Li recognized Xue Huaiyuan as her adoptive father under the witness of Ye Mingyu years ago, and has been calling Xue Huaiyuan her father ever since. Ye Mingyu thought it was nothing. In Ye Mingyu's opinion, Xue Huaiyuan was much better than Jiang Yuanbai. At least now, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao are with Jiang Li. Ye Mingyu also liked Xue Zhao's free and easy loyalty very much. If it weren't for this generation difference, he would call Xue Zhao a sworn brother.

This year, Kong Liu and Lu Ji did not appear in the National Palace for the new year. Since Jin Wujun returned to the dynasty, Lu Ji heard that he also went back to his hometown. Wen Renyao said that Lu Ji followed Ji Heng at the beginning because Ji Heng was kind to him. At that time, Lu Ji and his family were chased by their enemies and destroyed. It was Ji Chen who took Lu Ji to find those enemies and killed them one by one in front of Lu Ji. Since then, Lu Ji decided to follow Ji Heng. Many years ago, when he was a child, he was known as a "prodigy", and he did not become mediocre because of his age. At first, I followed Ji Heng to repay his kindness, but later I really wanted to follow Ji Heng. Now Ji Heng is not here, and Lu Ji's stay in Yanjing city is meaningless. He didn't need to be an official to protect his descendants, so he simply went home to farm.

Kong Liu was still in Yanjing City, but he was busy at the end of the new year, so he didn't have time. Wen Renyao threw it as usual, situ September was also there, so I had to be glad that because of this, the government would not become a desolate house, and there was no population.

During the Spring Festival, Jiang Li will also replace Ji Heng to worship his parents Ji Minghan and Yu Hongye. Think of the two people who were so talented in those days, but now they can't see them anymore, which is more or less a pity. Jiang Li is made very carefully.

On New Year's day, everyone will have new year's Eve dinner at the mansion.

The cook invited by Ye Mingyu is really good at cooking. But Jiang Li sat at the table, but she always remembered Ji Chen's appearance of cooking herself. I want to come to Wen Renyao and situ Jiujiu, too. Their faces are a little unnatural. Ye Mingyu didn't know why. He only complained about the strange atmosphere, and finally had to settle down. However, Xue Huaiyuan guessed. He didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Li's eyes, which contained some worries.

Xiaolan has grown very tall and become a handsome BMW. Her temper is getting stronger and stronger. Xiaohong likes to fall on his head and peck its mane. Xiaolan runs in the yard and knocks people over. Ye Mingyu complained several times, saying that it was Jiang Li who doted on Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong. Jiang Li laughed but said nothing. After all, Ji Heng left Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong. Ji Heng was not there, and they had no fear anymore. They acted recklessly, but... Jiang Li occasionally thought, I don't know if Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong sometimes think of their master, and felt that losing that touch of red in the government was like losing their soul, There is no bright and bright appearance in the past.

In the evening, everyone was going to celebrate the new year together. Wen Renyao suddenly said, "last time, we also celebrated the new year together with the second young lady."

Everyone was stunned. Ye Mingyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "what do you mean? How can a Li stay with you? Can Jiang Yuanbai promise? Are you dreaming or sleeping confused? Don't talk about it everywhere, damaging our family a Li's reputation." He angrily drew the knife from his waist and gave a meal to the ground, "hum!"

Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan realized something, and looked at Jiang Li like they were exploring.

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing. She thought of the scene that it was late in the night when Zhao Ke ran out of Jiang's house with her and Baba went to roast venison for general Ji's army. Laughing and laughing, the smile fades, and I just feel very sad.

That extravagant, joyful and direct feast turned out to be their first and last New Year together. She still remembered every clear picture, every word that old general Ji and Ji Heng said, but the person was gone. Originally, I thought there would be countless such days in the future, but I didn't expect to suddenly stop like this.

Situ Jiujiu stared at Wen Renyao. Wen Renyao saw Jiang Li's face and seemed to understand that he had said something wrong. He immediately covered up the wine cup in front of him and said, "I think we'd better toast first! Happy new year, everyone!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and when no one saw Jiang Li holding her glass close to her lips, she said softly.

She said, "happy new year, Ji Hong."

As soon as ShouSui passed, everyone felt tired and went back to bed. Jiang Li also felt tired, but more of all, she felt that she had a thousand things in her heart and couldn't sleep. The more so, the more she thought of Ji Heng. I always feel that if Ji Heng is still alive and comes back, how about tonight? At least this night, she won't feel so cold.

She felt a fan pendant from her close neck. The butterfly pendant, which she carefully repaired, finally looked like it used to be. She made the pendant into a necklace and put it on her neck. Let it stick to her chest and feel the warmth of her heartbeat, as if Ji Hong could be with her at any time.

The red butterfly flows out gorgeous brilliance under the light, and Jiang Li pinches the fan pendant, which is amazing.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of wind and snow outside seemed to be reduced. In the silence, it seemed that there was a knock on the door. The knock was not slow, like someone standing at the door with a smile, braved the wind and snow, and knocked on the door of his old friend in red.

Jiang Li suddenly shook, and then, a burst of ecstasy swept out of her heart. Without even putting on her clothes, she rushed out and immediately opened the door. But there was nothing outside.

Unwilling, she took a few steps outside. The government was so big that she even walked outside along her yard. Under the corridor, the lanterns were slightly shaken by the wind, and the lights seemed to be blown out. The ground was covered with thick snow, but the snow in the sky did not come down again.

But nothing.

It was as if she had become the person who dreamed of visiting the garden in the play, and everything was just a dream of a wild goose crossing without trace. The sound of knocking on the door was just a joke made by Feng and her, but she became true under the extreme miss.

Jiang Li couldn't help squatting down slowly, covering her face and crying.

She cried very restrained, more like a young beast unable to find direction, confused, and afraid of being seen by others, her fragile, low sobbing. These days, in front of everyone, she smiled as usual, and seemed to take nothing to heart. She could go on well without Ji Heng, but she was completely destroyed by this cruel dream today. She can't disguise. No matter how she disguises, she will also be tired one day. Especially living here, there are memories everywhere and his shadow everywhere. How can she pretend nothing happened. She is not an immortal, nor is she stony hearted.

Jiang Li cried for a long time. She didn't like to cry in front of people. The only few times she cried, it seemed that Ji Heng was there. Now, when he cried, whether Ji Heng who was watching coldly or gently wiping away her tears, he wouldn't appear again.

Until the wind was silent, Jiang Li raised her face from her arms. She saw Ye Shijie standing not far from her, looking at her with a complex face.

He didn't know how long he had been standing here, or how long he had listened to her crying like this. In a word, ye Shijie didn't bother her, so quietly as a bystander, just like what he had done in the past.

"Brother Ye Biao?" Jiang Li stood up. She rubbed her numb knees. Her face was still sad, and she took a new surprise, "Why are you here?"

Ye Shijie said, "I couldn't sleep. I came out for a walk and happened to see you."

"Let cousin laugh." Jiang Li whispered.

Ye Shijie took two steps. He stared at Jiang Li's face. Jiang Li's eyes were slightly swollen, but his eyes were as clear as ever. This made him think of when he first saw Jiang Li growing up in Yanjing City, when Jiang Li suddenly appeared from the street. On the surface of her identity, her mouth was smiling, calm and calm, with slight pride and alienation in her eyes.

Now Jiang Li, without those alienation, her temperament is more peaceful, as if this is just like her nature. She is not shaken by external things. No matter what happens, she is calm. But it turned out that all her enthusiasm and emotions were given to another person and would not be known by outsiders.

"Why are you crying?" Ye Shijie heard his voice, "is it for Ji Heng?"

As soon as the words were uttered, ye Shijie himself was stunned. He didn't understand why he had to ask such a stupid question. It was obviously obvious, but the trace of unwillingness in his heart made him suddenly want to ask such a question.

"Yes." Jiang Li answered frankly, "I seem to have dreamed of him before. When I wake up from my dream, I feel very unwilling. My cousin must think I am very naive. Crying for a dream is something that children do."

So? Ye Shijie thought silently in his heart, which shows that Jiang Li can show all her joys, sorrows and joys without scruple in front of Ji Xuan. She is mature and appropriate in front of others. In front of Ji Xuan, she is a wayward little girl. This is the side that others can't see, and only Ji Xuan can see.

A wave of jealousy suddenly appeared in his heart. The jealousy was so fierce that he was unprepared and said, "cousin, Duke Su will not come back. If you want to live a little easier, you'd better forget him."

Jiang Li heard the words and looked at Ye Shijie in surprise, as if surprised that ye Shijie would say so. Ye Shijie was looked at by her eyes and suddenly felt his face burning. He knew that what he said was a little selfish, but he couldn't control himself.

Yin Zhili likes ginger pear, at least he has won it. However, he likes ginger and pear, but he can't even say it. Ye Shijie also has his own pride. He doesn't feel that he came from a merchant, so he is not worthy of the first auxiliary Jiang family's dichu miss. Moreover, Jiang Yuanbai is not the first assistant now, and he has entered the official career. The reason why Ye Shijie can't say it is because he clearly knows that in Jiang Li's eyes, there is only Ji Heng. In Jiang Li's eyes, he is only a cousin, an elder brother, but there is no love between men and women.

When he learned that Ji Heng would no longer come back, ye Shijie was worried about Jiang Li's future, but at the same time, he couldn't help asking himself, will this be an opportunity for heaven to test him? Maybe he has been taking care of Jiang Li, and one day, they can also produce other results.

But no one expected that Jiang Li would definitely block his back road without waiting for others to say. Vowing never to marry, ye Shijie's last humble wish was dashed. He knew that he would no longer have a chance. In this life, he could only be Jiang Li's brother.

But he still didn't understand why Jiang Li liked Ji Heng so much. Is it because of Ji Chen's beauty? There are countless beauties in the world, and Jiang Li is not such a shallow person? Is it because of Ji Heng's status? The position of the Yin family was not low at the beginning. As for personality, Ji Heng is even worse. Ye Shijie can only be sure that there are some past between Jiang Li and Ji Heng that only belong to each other. It is because of those past that Jiang Li's heart will not change anyway.

This sentence he said to Jiang Li, of course, was sincerely for Jiang Li's sake, but he also had his own selfishness. Just when he saw Jiang Li's eyes, ye Shijie felt that Jiang Li might have known this thought.

"Cousin, do you also think Ji Heng won't come back?" Jiang Li asked softly.

YeShiJie was silent, and silence represented his answer.

"But I always think he will come back. It's just that there was a delay on the way." Jiang Li smiled, "although it's a long wait, I'll wait for him until he stops. As for whether the future is easy or not, I only know that if I forget him, there will be no happy days."

Ye Shijie sighed in his heart. Jiang Li's stubbornness had been experienced by all of them. He should have known it. Everyone took turns to persuade him, but Jiang Li didn't think so. Would the result be different if he changed? Of course not.

"Cousin hasn't met that person yet." Jiang Li said with a smile, "when my cousin meets the most important woman in life, he will understand that sometimes, waiting for a lifetime is actually a very good thing. If my cousin is facing the same situation as me, my cousin will also make such a choice. Of course, I hope my cousin will never encounter such a situation, just go smoothly."

Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. The girl looked at him with a smile. In her eyes, she recovered her usual calm and calm, and no longer collapsed and fragile as she had just found. She never changed when she first met, but he gradually admired her from the initial hostility and ridicule.

It's not clear when I fell in love. Maybe it was when she spoke out for Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang, or when she was laughing in front of Ye Mingyu, or even earlier, he noticed her when he was entangled in a lawsuit on the street, and the strange girl came out of the crowd and stood in front of him, calmly and confidently helping him resolve his dilemma.

By mistake, I lost to time.

And Jiang Li is really cymbic. She understands all her thoughts. What she said just now is also a euphemistic refusal, and she hopes that he will pursue his own happiness.

Just... Ye Shijie thought bitterly, if Jiang Li really had to wait for Ji Xuan's life, would he have to wait for Jiang Li's life in such a hopeless way? It's true. As Jiang Li said, it's just a infatuation when he was young. One day, he met the woman he really loved in his life, which became the past and worthless. Or with the passage of time, infatuation becomes obsession, just like Jiang Li, guarding a nihilistic shadow that will never turn back in his life, and no one can see it.

No one can predict the future, he and Jiang Li are no exception. No one can control his emotions, and he also gave up.

That's it. Let's walk and see. At least he should feel satisfied and have the opportunity to see the vivid Jiang Li and talk with her here this night.

"Cousin, I'd better go back and have a rest earlier." Jiang Li said with a smile, "it's a new year."

"Yes," YeShiJie said dreamily, looking into the distance, "it's a new year."

There is still new hope for everything.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Li got up late.

Last night, because I met Ye Shijie and talked outside for a while, it was very late when Jiang Li fell asleep. It's just the new year, so Bai Xue and tong'er didn't wake her up. In the new year, everything is worth tolerating.

Jiang Li casually ate something and walked out of the door. It snowed heavily again late last night. Qingfeng and Mingyue are sweeping the snow in the yard. Rao is so. Go out of the yard and step in with one foot. The snow can almost fall into people's small knees.

Jiang Li heard the sound from the other end of the flower bed, so she walked over there. As soon as he approached, he was stunned. Zhao Ke and Wen Jili were there, talking to situ Jiujiu. Situ Jiujiu turned his back to Jiang Li, but Zhao Ke first saw the shadow of Jiang Li and shouted, "second miss."

Jiang Li didn't answer him, looking into the flower bed, completely silent.

In the whole flower garden, after the heavy snow last night, almost all the flowers could not stand the rampage and were completely destroyed. Some are buried in the snow, some are exposed outside, but they are also staggering and scattered, looking very sad.

The flowers in the government house, or the precious poison grass, were originally delicate and precious. Ji Heng had originally brought them all the way to the government house for careful care. It is very pleasant to grow in flowers. The flowers inside are also more and more year by year. Because of this, situ September can find the raw materials for refining poison in the flower bed.

Jin Wujun returned to the dynasty. After Ji Heng died in the battle, according to Ji Heng's previous advice, the entire government gave Jiang Li, and naturally let Jiang Li take care of this flower bed. Jiang Li is not a gardener. In the past, she used to work with flowers and plants, but also those ordinary flowers and plants in Tongxiang. How to take care of poison grass is really ignorant. But fortunately, the original gardener is still there and has been helping. Jiang Li often goes to the flower garden to help, as if only in this way, she can dilute the sadness in her heart and find something to do for herself.

However, the winter in Yanjing city this year is particularly cold and snowy. In the second half of last night, the wind and snow were so fast that everyone didn't notice it. The snow almost buried the whole flower bed. Situ Jiujiu and others found it early this morning and immediately asked people to quickly remove the snow. Rao was so weak that he could only watch this prosperous and desolate area helplessly.

Jiang Li squatted down and reached out to pick up a flower on the soil. The petals were still covered with frost and snow, and had been crushed into shape. It was vaguely possible to see the original beautiful peach pink. Jiang Li held the petal and looked at situ Jiujiu: "these... Are they hopeless?"

Situ Jiujiu shook his head.

"These herbs are not easy to find, and the growing environment is also very harsh. The climate of Yanjing city is not suitable for them to grow here. Ji Heng has spent a lot of money to create an environment for so many years. But this year is really not good. Yanjing city is getting colder and colder year by year, and these herbs can't stand it. The roots are broken." Situ's voice in September was also very sorry.

Although after Ji Minghan's death, this flower bed seems to have lost its significance of existence, with this flower bed, situ's poison refining in September is also much more convenient. Moreover, in a way, the flower garden does add a lot of color to the government, making the mansion full of Fairy Spirit and yearning, and now a storm and snow is like waking up last night's dream, leaving only a sober truth.

For dreamers, it's always very cruel.

Jiang Li didn't know what to say, as if she had lost her anger bit by bit since Ji Heng left. Even if the Ye family and Xue Huaiyuan live in, they are noisy every day, as if it is very lively, but they always feel that something is missing. As if the mansion knew that its owner would not return, so it fell down.

Looking at the desolation of the slow flower bed, she felt that it was a very bad omen, so she stood up and said, "in that case, bury this flower bed. Bury these flowers and plant them when spring comes."

Situ Jiujiu looked at her in surprise: "planting again?"

"Ji Heng has only two hobbies," said Jiang Li slowly. "One is to enjoy flowers, and the other is to go to the theatre. He gave the government to me. If I made this place dusty, he would not like to see such a picky person. Besides, some colors, it's better to add a little excitement."

Situ September was silent. Since Jiang Li said so, she couldn't say anything more. Besides, now the government is Jiang Li's, Jiang Li can naturally do what she wants.

"However," situ Jiujiu pointed to the other side, "these flowers are dead, and the tree is still alive."

Jiang Li followed her movements and looked over. She saw a small tree growing in the flower bed. This is a pear tree. On the night of that day, she went from Jiang's house to the government house. When she saw Ji He planting, she came forward and planted it with Ji He.

She walked to the edge of the tree, and the small tree grew a lot higher. From the young seedlings, it grew tall and straight, and it looked very slim and graceful. It may not be long before it will continue to grow tall and grow up. In summer, its branches and leaves will be luxuriant and become a shade. Next spring, white flowers will grow again. It grew up slowly in the government house. It began to grow when Ji Heng was alive and lasted for a long time.

Jiang Li reached out and touched the trunk. The branches were also full of snow, which pushed the little tree a little askew. Jiang Li brushed away the snow, and it seemed to be relaxed, and it became taller and taller. At this time, Jiang Li's men touched an uneven thing. She felt that it seemed to be something carved by someone, so she stared at it. At this look, the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was almost ready to cry.

The handwriting on it is familiar. It is Ji Heng's handwriting, which is roughly chiseled with a sword tip: it was planted with Ali in spring and March of the 28th year.

She seemed to be able to see through this line of handwriting that the young man in red was half kneeling on the ground, chiseling word by word with the tip of his sword. His expression was serious, his amber eyes were focused by the moonlight, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile, which was very beautiful.

This was only a small matter for Jiang Li at that time, but he took it to his heart and carefully commemorated it, as if it was a great event worth remembering in his life.

He... Why?

Jiang Li turned her back, and her tears fell down in an instant and disappeared into the soil. The little tree trembled slightly in the wind, gentle and puzzled, and her heart was surprisingly sour.

After calming down for a long time, Jiang Li turned and walked out. She thought maybe this was also what Ji Heng left her. The pear tree they planted together would replace Ji Heng and have been with her for countless years.

After Jiang Li came out, she saw Xue Huaiyuan outside the yard. Xue Huaiyuan looked at her face and seemed to have something to say. Jiang Li was stunned and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Xue Huaiyuan quickly waved his hand, "nothing, just something I want to discuss with you."

"Dad, please say." Jiang Li Dao.

Xue Huaiyuan sat down at the stone table outside and said, "I think the new year has passed. Since you want to stay in Yanjing city in the future, we'll go back to Tongxiang first. The old houses over there have been dealt with, and then say hello to the villagers. It's goodbye, and we won't go back in the future. Look..." he looked at Jiang Li in search.

Jiang Li was not much surprised. Xue Huaiyuan had told her about this plan before, and Jiang Li agreed. After going back to Tongxiang, I plan to go to Qimin again. Anyway, I have to pass by Tongxiang to go to Qimin. Immediately said, "OK."

Xue Huaiyuan seemed relieved and hesitated for a moment, Talent: "Ali, dad knows what you're thinking. Dad won't say what others advise you. You know it in your heart. But where you are, dad and a Zhao will be there, and our family will never be separated in the future. No matter whether you stay in Yanjing city or go somewhere else, Dad won't let people be alone. So do what you want to do, regardless of other people's eyes and statements, dad and a Zhao will understand you Yes. "

Jiang Li smiled, "I know, Dad."

"Then, let's plan when to start." Xue Huai said, "it's not too late. We left early and came back early."

"Dad," Jiang Li interrupted Xue Huaiyuan, "I also have one thing I want to discuss with dad."

"What is it?"

"After returning to Tongxiang, I don't want to go back to Yanjing city immediately. I want to go to Qimin."

Xue Huaiyuan heard the speech and didn't answer for a long time.

"Dad, I can't accept what I think. If I have to wait in Yanjing city all the time, I can't wait, but I always feel that I can do something else. Only if I find it in person and feel there is no hope, will I give up my heart. Otherwise, I will live with this regret all my life. Shouldn't I live by my heart? This is what my father taught me and a Zhao for the first time."

Xue Huaiyuan smiled and sighed, shook his head and said, "ah Zhao told me before that you would go to Qimin once. I didn't believe it at first. Now it seems that that smelly boy knows you very well. Ah Li, dad said, what do you want to do? Dad won't stop you, but Dad and ah Zhao will go with you."

"But your body..."

"Our health is not good. Would you like to be a weak woman? That's it, Ali, Ji Hong is your obsession, and you are also my father's obsession. I have lost you once, and I don't want to lose you again."

Jiang Li clearly saw the pain in Xue Huaiyuan's eyes, and she suddenly felt that she was too selfish. Since Ji Heng had an accident, she was immersed in sadness, but she forgot how anxious she was to fall in the eyes of her relatives around her. Xue Huaiyuan watched himself die last time. He can't bear such pain again.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "OK, Dad, let's find more guards and go to Qimin together."

Xue Huaiyuan was satisfied. When they talked about when to start and who to take, ye Mingyu happened to pass by. Hearing the words, he was stunned and said, "what are you talking about? What are you going away? Where are you going?"

Jiang Li looked back. Ye Mingyu was coming back from the outside with his knife on his shoulder. Jiang Li replied, "we are going to go back to Tongxiang."

"Back to Tongxiang?" Ye Mingyu looked at Xue Huaiyuan, "what? Mr. Xue is going back to his hometown?"

"No." Xue Huaiyuan explained: "this time, I went back to Tongxiang to deal with the old house on the other side of Tongxiang, say goodbye to my blind dates, and then I won't go back to Tongxiang again, and stay with Ali in Yanjing city."

"Well." Ye Mingyu said carelessly, "let's go back to Xiangyang, too."

This time, it was Jiang Li's turn to be surprised. Jiang Li asked, "my uncle is going back to Xiangyang?"

"Yes, yesterday I received a letter from my eldest brother, who said that Tao Shuiwen is selling well in Yanjing city. Now Shijie's official son is also doing well. My mother usually can't see Shijie if she wants to see it. I can't always separate the two places like this. The Ye family was in Yanjing many years ago, and now I plan to kill them back from Xiangyang. This time I go back, I'll pick up my mother and my eldest brother." Ye Mingyu laughed and said, "Ali, when your cousin and they all arrive, you won't be so lonely in Yanjing city. I'm not sure what's going on in Ye's shop, but I need your help."

This was beyond Jiang Li's expectation, but she was really happy. She did not see Mrs. ye and them for a long time, and said, "it's best."

"So, when are you going to leave, give me a lift." Ye Mingyu patted his chest, "with me, the mountain bandits who block the road have to take a detour. It's very safe all the way. Let's start with the wind and water, and the custody will arrive earlier than you think!"

Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan looked at each other, and Jiang Li said, "then, please let's go with our uncle."

"OK." Ye Mingyu answered readily.

……

The journey back to Tongxiang from Yanjing city is the second time since Jiang Li was reborn. Last time, there was no one around her. Now Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan are around, which is probably God's tolerance. But God didn't want to give people a peaceful and complete life, so he took away her precious things.

Jiang Li set out on the tenth day after the new year. When she left, no one knew about Yanjing city. The government also left some people to look after, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji followed. Situ September was also there. He said that he could see if he could find the precious poison grass as raw material on the way. Along the way, as ye Mingyu promised before, he didn't encounter any mountain bandits blocking the way, but perhaps it was because they were too many people, and the bodyguards escorting the carriage didn't look like vegetarian. Even if there were really evil people, they left early.

After all, on the way to Xiangyang, I have a safe journey.

They first arrived in Xiangyang and met the Ye family. Old lady ye had heard of what happened to Jiang Li in Xiangyang, and had been holding Jiang Li's hand and crying painfully. I think Jiang Li's life is a little bitter because she is young and will never marry again in the future. The rest of the Ye family also felt sad for Jiang Li, and ye Jia'er was extremely sad for Jiang Li's future husband's death in the battle. Because of this, the Ye family treated Jiang Li more attentively, hoping that Jiang Li could live as happily as possible these days in Xiangyang and forget those sad things for the time being.

Because Mrs. Ye is not well, the Ye family will have to wait until the weather is warmer before leaving for Beijing. At the same time, it also takes a little time to deal with the shops and houses in Xiangyang. This time, the Ye family moved to Yanjing City, so they don't plan to come back.

Jiang Li will live in Ye's house for the time being. After waiting for more than ten days, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao were going to Tongxiang first. Jiang Li said to ye Laofu, "I also want to go to Tongxiang to have a look. After all, last time I was here, I only focused on dealing with Feng Yutang, but I didn't take a good look at Tongxiang.".

Now ye Laofu is afraid of Jiang Li and can't think of anything. As long as Jiang Li is happy, he can do anything. Immediately agreed, but she was afraid that Jiang Li would be boring to follow a girl, so she asked Ye Jiaer and ye Rufeng to follow. The three young men, together with Xue Zhao, Xue Huaiyuan, and situ Jiujiu, returned to Tongxiang in this way.

Tongxiang is still the same. After Feng Yutang fell, a new county magistrate came. The county magistrate is not very old, and he is not yet thirty years old, but he is quite talented because of his youth. Several major events have been done in Tongxiang, and the people are also very satisfied with the county magistrate. Hearing that Xue Huaiyuan came back, the people of Tongxiang all rushed to the door of Xue's house and sent eggs and grain.

Before Jiang Li rescued Xue Huaiyuan from Feng Yutang, Xue Huaiyuan was crazy. Tongxiang people also knew this and sighed with a sigh. Now Xue Huaiyuan stood in front of him with a clear mouth. Except that he looked a little older and haggard than before, he was clearly the same as in the past. The people had to be grateful to heaven for hanging the curtain. Butcher Zhang laughed and said, "I knew Lord Xue would get better! In this world, good people are rewarded!"

The crowd echoed, and the people saw Jiang Li again, and even knelt down to kowtow to Jiang Li. At the beginning, if Jiang Li hadn't taken them to Yanjing city to play Shishi Mingyuan drum and disposed of Feng Yutang, otherwise Feng Yutang had been domineering in Tongxiang, they wouldn't know how long they would suffer.

Jiang Li didn't dare to let them really kneel down, hurriedly sideways avoided, and helped them up, but said it wouldn't hurt. Those people saw Xue Zhao sitting in a wheelchair and sighed one after another.

It's easy to send away these enthusiastic people, clean up Xue's house, and all the people really live in it.

Xue Huaiyuan said to ye Jia'er, "the humble house is simple, and miss Ye is more tolerant."

"It's OK, uncle Xue." Ye Jia'er laughed and said, "the Xue family is very popular in Tongxiang."

Xue Huaiyuan laughed but said nothing. Probably, but this time I came back, it was really a lot of emotion. In the ancestral hall of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue's memorial tablets were all ashes. Xue Huaiyuan let Jiang Li in, offered incense to Mrs. Xue and said something.

At night, Jiang Li lived in the courtyard where she lived before she left the cabinet and fell asleep in her past bed. At first, Feng Yutang sealed Xue's house, but because Xue's family was poor and had little valuable property, no one moved in the house. Sitting on the old boudoir bed, Jiang Li couldn't calm down for a long time. It seems that over the years, she has been married, killed, reborn, and then given marriage. Up to now, Ji Heng's disappearance is just a dream she has dreamed, or the people watching the drama off the stage accidentally entered the drama, and they can't tell whether it is in the game or reality.

But in the end, the days have gradually passed like this. She felt the butterfly on her neck, warm and crystal, like flowing blood, bright and eye-catching, so that her memory could not fade.

She closed her eyes.

This is... Taking Ji he back to his hometown.

……

Spring Lantern Festival is on the first day of April.

There is a long river in Tongxiang. On the Spring Lantern Festival, many girls' wives will put down their hand-made lanterns by the riverbank. The lanterns are filled with candles. Looking from a distance, a light on the water will also illuminate the water, sparkling, like a fairyland in the Dragon Palace.

In the evening, several young people are going to travel to experience the lively Spring Lantern Festival. Xue Huaiyuan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't follow them. He just let the guards follow and take good care of them.

Except Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan, everyone else saw such a scene for the first time. Tongxiang is not as prosperous as Yanjing City, but its folk customs are simple, probably because the Spring Lantern Festival is also very important to them, so this night was as lively as the temple fair in Yanjing city. The streets were full of people who came out to watch the excitement, including young ladies and sons, young girls from civilian families, and children playing. Many people on the street wear masks. Masks are painted gods' faces, colorful and everything. At first glance, they look like singers. Just because the people of Tongxiang believe that the immortals will come down to earth to play as mortals during the Spring Lantern Festival, and wherever the immortals go, they will bless the place with good weather and a bumper harvest this year. So people in Tongxiang are used to coming out to play with God masks during the Spring Lantern Festival.

Situ bought a black faced statue in September, while ye Jiaer bought a kind Bodhisattva whose eyes narrowed into a slit. Ye Rufeng wears a mask with a face like blowing a beard and staring, which is very vicious. Xue Zhao and Jiang Li bought a pair of twin masks to wear.

There are lanterns everywhere, and there are lively voices everywhere. People pinching clay figurines can be seen everywhere. Situ September was stuffed with a sugar gourd in his hand. Jugglers, sugar blowers, and the bustle of Tongxiang are quite different from the capital, but there is a bustle outside the secular world, like a paradise recorded in books, and everyone is happy.

Situ came to Tongxiang for the first time in September, and his expression was full of surprise. Xue Zhao explained these things for her. Unconsciously, the two of them fell behind. Jiang Li saw this and didn't rush. It's better to leave them alone for a period of time. Situ September rarely had such a relaxed time. Jiang Li could see the smile on situ September's face when she looked at it in the blink of an eye.

She is really happy.

Jiang Li was also happy for her. Ye Jia'er and ye Rufeng just stopped in front of a juggler at this time. The juggler was holding a stack of plates in his hands and a stack of overlapping tall plates on his head. He didn't fall down, and the crowd made bursts of cheers. Ye Jiaer and her husband were fascinated. Jiang Li stopped to one side and waited patiently.

At this time, Jiang Li accidentally looked back, and her eyes suddenly froze. She seemed to see a familiar figure flash in the crowd, and the bright red color eclipsed the prosperity and excitement around. Jiang Li was shocked in her heart, and her body was faster than her thinking. Almost without thinking, she ran towards the person over there, trying to see who that person was.

Surrounded by people, Jiang Li bumped into many people. She apologized to them, but then looked for them. I can't find it. It's like she's dazzled, or it's her illusion, but it's really incredible. Jiang Li caught up with the man in red who was wearing a mask in front of her. For a moment, she almost thought she had found it. She shook her hand and took off the mask of the other party. Then her smile solidified on her face. It was a strange middle-aged man, looking at her suspiciously.

Jiang Li choked and said, "sorry, I recognize the wrong person."

The man wanted to blame a few words. Seeing Jiang Li's eyes red, he thought she was afraid and said, "it's okay, it's okay, recognize the wrong person and cry." Embarrassed to leave.

Jiang Li stayed where she was, and many people came and went. She tried to find the red figure in the crowd. But the lights were so bright that she couldn't see anything. All kinds of masks are worn on the faces of people coming and going, but there is no face under the mask that she wants to see.

She lost Ji Heng and couldn't find her anywhere.

The streets on both sides of Tongxiang are full of peach trees. This year's spring is particularly strong, and the upper layers of the trees are full of wind. It was a rare beauty in the world, which made Jiang Li feel miserable and desolate in the bustle of the crowd.

She looked for it again and again, and it seemed that she had become the same person. Finally, she was tired and stopped at this point.

Ye Jia'er and ye Rufeng have long disappeared around. She left in a hurry and didn't say hello to the sister and brother, but she didn't leave anything.

The wind in April seems to be also warm and itchy on the face. Jiang Li walked slowly along the river bank. There were many girls setting lanterns on the river bank, and the water surface was lit up. A lover wrote Acacia with ripples, singing and dancing lively. Jiang Li walked slowly, as if returning to the spring night many years ago, and Ji he was the same. Walking slowly, the excitement had nothing to do with him. He was out of place in the bustle, as if he were an intruded stranger.

Some people will cast curious eyes on Jiang Li. They see this beautiful and clear girl, her face is in a trance, I don't know what she is thinking, and she walks especially slowly, as if she were in life.

The lights seemed never to go out. Jiang Li walked for a long time. She came to the end of the river bank. At this time, she heard Ye Jiaer's voice: "cousin!"

Jiang Li turned around. Ye Jia'er panted and ran over, grabbed Jiang Li's hand, looked left and right, and said, "cousin, where have you been? I couldn't find you. I thought you were missing, and I almost had to report to the official."

"I'm fine." Jiang Li reluctantly smiled at her. She didn't see ye Rufeng's figure, so she asked, "where's Rufeng?"

Hearing this, ye Jia'er's face became more and more ugly. Jiang Li asked, "but what happened?"

"Rufeng and I didn't know you were gone at first. We thought you were waiting for young master Xue and them. There was someone singing on the stage not far away in front. Rufeng had never seen such a good singing troupe, but there were people around the stage. I don't know where the rich childe came from, wrapped up the play and showed it to him alone. Rufeng was young and energetic, but he was angry, and quarreled with that person. Later, young master Xue came and went to the rescue, and now he hasn't found out Chu. "

Jiang Li frowned, "how could this happen?"

"I just want to persuade, but I can't help it." Ye Jiaer's face was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll go and see what's going on. Since ah Zhao is here, I don't think Rufeng will have an accident." Jiang Li comforted her. People in Tongxiang are familiar with Jiang Li. Unless they are foreign guests, as long as they are here, Jiang Li knows them. It's probably a misunderstanding.

Ye Jia'er nodded, "I'll take you."

The two hurried to the place ye Jia'er said, and saw Tongxiang East Street downstairs, Qinglian square, far away, they heard a euphemistic opera, singing the Peony Pavilion.

"Dream back to Yingzhuan, chaos and evil years, people set up a small court and deep courtyard. Note all the heavy smoke, throw away the remnant embroidery thread, so this spring is like last year?"

The female singing voice was distant and lazy. For a moment, the spring light suddenly opened, and the audience around did not enter the market, but only looked outside. On both sides of the road, there are beautiful peach blossoms, just like the brilliant spring in the drama. Tourists accidentally walk into it and break into a dream.

"You said Cui Sheng's skirt was beautiful, and the colorful crystal flower hairpin was filled with eight treasures. Do you know that my lifelong hobby is natural? Just the benefits of Spring Festival are not seen. If you don't watch out for the sinking fish and the falling wild geese and birds, you're afraid of the shy flowers and the closing moon, and the flowers are worried and trembling."

"It turns out that colorful flowers bloom all over the place, which seems to endow broken wells and ruined walls, beautiful scenery on a good day, and what a pleasant day to enjoy. The morning flies and the evening rolls, the clouds and the jade Pavilion, the rain and the wind, the smoke and waves paint the boat, and the time of Jinping people is so cheap."

Rao is Jiang Li, who knows why she came here. At the moment, she can't help but be amazed by this drama, and her steps can't help slowing down. As she walked forward, a huge stage was set up at the gate of Qinglian square. The people on the stage sang that spring was difficult to send, faint and bitter, and the spring light flowed secretly.

There is a row of chairs under the stage, but only one person is sitting, only his cloak can be seen. Jiang Li has not seen Xue Zhao, nor ye Rufeng. When she looks back, there are only people, not even ye Jiaer.

She didn't know why. She was about to come forward and suddenly froze.

The man turned his back on her, and she couldn't see each other's appearance, but she could see the folding fan in his hand.

The folding fan unfolds bit by bit, and the peony on it is embroidered with gold thread. It is exquisite, gorgeous, beautiful and moving, like the memory of Jiang Li, and will never fade. She couldn't help touching her neck, where the butterfly's fan pendant seemed to have life in an instant, almost spreading its wings to fly. Her heart also flies high, not in the world, her feet can't step on the ground, floating in vain.

"It's because you are as beautiful as flowers and fleeting as time goes by. It's da'er idly searching all over, feeling sorry for yourself in the quiet boudoir. Turn around the peony fence, and close to the rock of the lake mountain."

The drama cavity was actually lingering. Jiang Li stared at the man's back motionless, and couldn't move.

The man seemed to know that Jiang Li was here, and as soon as the action of gently shaking the folding fan stopped, he stood up with his slender hand holding the handle of the fan, and let the eerie drama move and turned around.

The lights were dim, and the time passed in a flash. The amazing people were still amazing, standing in the boundless spring night. Peach blossoms vied for him to open. The young man was wearing red clothes, holding a folding fan, with red lips and white teeth, and was very beautiful. His amber eyes reflected the stars and lights in the night, and she was clearly reflected across the crowd.

Jiang Li loosened her hand, and the Butterfly Pendant suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and was instantly submerged in the excitement. But she didn't care at all. She just stared at the young man in red and walked towards her step by step.

Everything in heaven and earth seems to have lost its voice, as if he was sitting at the other end of the wall many years ago, and she was singing on the swing in the wall. It's also like when the moon was dim on the roof of the Buddhist hall. She held the candle and raised her eyes, startling the world.

Those bitterness, sadness, disappointment and despair are gone. In the peach blossom color, he walked towards him calmly, and the people in the world came and went, and did not stop his steps. Wild geese spend the blue sky, red beans are born in the south, there are thousands of kinds of lovesickness, but there is only one lover. It's him, only him, and there will be no one else.

He went to Jiang Li, bent down and picked up the butterfly pendant that fell at her feet. His eyebrows were as frivolous and haunting as ever, and handed it back to her with a smile, "little girl, you seem to have picked up my things."

Jiang Li chuckled.

She once thought that meeting was the best. It turned out that it was rare to meet again in the world.

"How are you going to repay me?" She turned her head sideways, with a smile in her eyes, "how about making a promise with an example?" End of the full text
