Chapter 142：

On the fifth day after Huo Budo went to the border, the post-abolition matters were put on the agenda.

' Yunyun, but there are also children who can read in the family that opposes Xuan's mother and son. Those sutra teachers tended to provoke a sneer and more vehement reasons for their rebuttal.

When Cheng Yong came back to see the younger sister on the sickbed, Shao Shang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a courtier who died and gave advice for the queen?"

Cheng Yong said: "I will be the servant of Your Majesty first, and then the Queen. If you disobey Your Majesty for the Queen's sake, is it the way to be a servant?"

"After the abolition without a reason, the reason is not in harmony."

"There is a reason, the edict said the queen was jealous."

Seeing the young girl's dejected appearance, Cheng Yong said softly: "For the army, for the tax, for any political affairs, all the ministers may fight, but for a man who has never met a few. Madam Hui, they won't. Ya, brother, I'll tell you, unless it's like Empress Lv who has been through weal and woe, or is rooted in the same way as Lord Huo Ping, the ministers argue with the king over whether to abolish the empress, most of which are Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is for Pei Gong - in short, it will never be for the Queen herself."

Short business no longer speaks.

The days of recuperation were calm and uninteresting. Mrs. Sang did not talk about the past with Shaoshang, but only played chess and tunes, and from time to time told interesting stories about Cheng Zhi's appointment. Mrs. Xiao wanted Mrs. Sang to persuade her daughter more, but Mrs. Sang said, "Yiyou understands everything in her heart, but her heart is stubborn, so you can turn it around when you can say it. Sis, don't worry, let the curling up slow down, after two years Seeing everything."

However, the night before the departure, Mrs. Sang specially helped Shao Shang down the corridor: "You are much better than me. When I was young, the world was in chaos and wars were everywhere. The little sister who joked about drinking yesterday, A few days later, I heard that the whole door was attacked by bandits. Last month, I had a handkerchief for viewing flowers. This month, I ran away without knowing where to go... I know you have grievances in your heart, but you can go out and have a look. Look at this starry sky, this heaven and earth, There are so many difficult things in this world, and you and I are already lucky people."

Shao Shang was propped on the pillar, looking at the lush and fragrant courtyard, breathing the vibrant spring air, he had made a decision in his heart, and he continued to exercise every day.

Because of the abolition of the queen, the court was so busy, Yuan Shen had no time to come four times a day, but he still came every day; for some reason, Yuan Shen was extraordinarily silent this time, often every other day. Sitting opposite Shao Shang for a long while with the screen in front of him, he went back quietly.

On the third day of Sang's departure, the edicts of the abolition and the establishment of the new queen were issued on the day before and after the abolition. It was no surprise that the emperor forbade the ministers to celebrate the new empress. At the same time, he also The placement of the post-abolition is exceptionally favored.

First of all, the rest of the princes were appointed as kings, and the second prince was the king of Huai'an, and then changed to the queen dowager of Huai'an after the abolition, and moved to the Yong'an Palace in the northeast of the North Palace, and continued to enjoy the queen's fief , and in order to make the Queen Mother of Huai'an comfortable and generous, an extra county was designated for the second prince's fief to support the Queen Mother.

At the same time, the emperor wanted to reward the Xuan family. Empress Dowager Xuan's younger brother, Marquis Xuan, had no military exploits, but the emperor, in the face of the opposition of the ministers, promoted him from the Marquis of Guannei to the rank of marquis, and increased the feudal state. Even the uncle of Empress Dowager Xuan, because his son died early, the emperor specially made his son-in-law Enze a marquis.

In a short time, Xuan's family was full of fire and cooking oil.

On the second day when Shao Shang was able to move freely, he sent someone to the Third Prince's Mansion to deliver a letter, and he prepared a pocket of money for the messenger to prepare for the concierge. Very strict, the messenger brought back the bag full of money.

Shao Shang sighed, and for the first time thought it would be good to change the prince.

He thought to himself that the suitors of his daughter-in-law were really overwhelmed, and the waves were rolling in one after another. His old man was a little overwhelmed.

Mrs. Xiao came over after hearing the news, and asked anxiously, "What are you doing here, the third prince, and where are you going! You are not ready yet!"

"Why is my grandmother's face still so ugly, don't blame me, my grandmother is ill."

Shao Shang looked at Mrs. Xiao in amazement, even in the rough military camp, the middle-aged beautiful woman who was lustrous and healthy was actually sallow and haggard, "Aunt Qing, you need to make up for my mother more. , medicine tonic is worse than food tonic, what kind of beef bone porridge and pig trotter soup, and pigeon black fish…”

Qing Li supported Mrs. Xiao and lowered her head with a wry smile, Mrs. Xiao stomped her feet and said, "Tell me!"

The Shao Shang asked Ah Li to tidy up his clothes, and smiled: "Don't worry, Mom, I want to go to the palace. But the empress is abolished, so I don't care about those tokens. I have used it, so please ask the Third Highness to lead me to see the empress."

Mrs. Xiao anxiously said: "I heard that the gate of Yong'an Palace is closed, and the Queen Mother of Huai'an is nowhere to be seen. How can you get in! Besides, why don't you ask the prince to lead you into the palace?"

"Prince?" Shao Shang laughed, "Where can he go in?" She groped on the dressing table, and Cheng Cha, who was sitting quietly on the side, handed her the earrings hands.

The young merchant put on the two white jade earrings and shook them in the bronze mirror: "That time, Huo Budo and I quarreled and hid in a palace to lose our temper, the prince originally wanted to make peace Dude, but when I heard that I smashed a flower scoop inside, I stopped and didn't dare to go in - hum, if you want to enter Yongan Palace, you have to have the third prince."

You can live anywhere. But if you don't take good care of your body, my father will not be able to spare me."

Then her eyes were fixed on Cheng Cha who was behind Mrs. Xiao, and she said in a good voice, "Aunt Qing has to take care of my grandmother, and the family is so trivial that I will bother you."

Cheng Cha replied dully.

The rising sun in spring is always dazzling, and the girl under the warm light has an unreal feeling, like a fragile primrose that disappears when the wind blows. Seeing her put on her head and shoes, just as she was about to walk out of the courtyard, Mrs. Xiao suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, "Curly!"

Shao Shang turned back and smiled: "I will come when I go."

'Go and come'? ! Mrs. Xiao was dizzy for a while, this was the third time she heard this sentence.

In a trance, she seemed to see that the day when she went to the front line ten years ago, the young girl was held in her arms by Fu mother, crying and blushing, with a heart-rending sound. Crying, "Mom don't go, Dad don't go"... Cheng Shi couldn't bear it, turned his head frequently, and even wanted to rush back and hug his daughter away, anyway, Cheng's mother Ge Shi couldn't catch up - but he calmly stopped After the husband, the army is about to be launched, and there can be no sidelines.

Mrs. Xiao suddenly struggled and shouted loudly: "Don't let her go, come here, don't tell her to go... Stop her, come and stop her...!" She felt that she wanted to I lost my daughter, I will lose her forever. However, maybe she had lost her ten years ago, only to realize it now.

Why did she have to be so calm and rational for ten years, why did she insist on maintaining her good reputation! She should be like a fierce lioness, biting the throats of those who stole her children; or she should be like a shrew at the entrance of the village, dragging Ge Shi's hair around the house, who dares to say nothing The man she hit didn't have a tooth left!

—It's not that she can't take her daughter away, but she has too many scruples, and at this time, it's too late to say anything.

Mrs. Xiao gasped violently, her qi and blood surging, she suddenly felt a sweetness in her throat, and a fishy heat overflowed from her mouth, and then fell down.

…

Shao Shang was sitting in the chariot wearing a thick curtain cap, and the three emperors were riding beside him.

The young merchant pulled the curtain tighter, so as not to let people on the street recognize him: "The villagers have never seen the world, so don't mind your Highness."

The third prince sneered: "Is it the same when Zisheng went to your house..."

Shao Shang held the railing of the car with one hand and said quietly: "Although Mr. Huo has a high position, he has always been gentle and courteous, even to his servants, which is very different from the description of the Third Highness. By the way, is the Queen Mother Huai'an sick?"

Serving a doctor. Therefore, not only did my mother not dare to hold a ceremony for the enshrined, but she did not even dare to live in the Changqiu Palace."

Shao Shang nodded: "I guess it is the same."

The third prince mocked: "The queen mother is unhappy, and the father emperor keeps rewarding the Xuan family. The Queen Mother of Huai'an is so sick, it is impossible to say that the father emperor will move the entire treasury to the Xuan family. Hmph, my father is too benevolent, he is as ruthless as Emperor Gaozu or Emperor Wu, who would dare to say anything more—this world always criticizes honest people!"

& nbsp; The Queen of Yue can't do him either. Neither can Your Majesty."

Shao Shang smiled and said: "His Majesty, princes and princesses, don't understand Empress Dowager Xuan's mind - in fact, she wants to be coaxed. But after the death of Grandpa Xuan, she No one is coaxing her, but she is asked to coax people repeatedly, widowed mother, young brother, alas..."

In front of the third prince, Mrs. Xuan’s dignified and dignified appearance appeared, and her face was full of doubts.

"Xuan Niangniang has never really endured hardship since she was a child. Outside, there is always someone sheltering her head, so the long years have never worn away her true temperament - in Xuan Niangniang's heart Deep down, she is still the eldest daughter of the Xuan family who is loved and cared for by her loving mother."

"But the situation is stronger than people. In the Gan'an Palace, she had to endure a group of foreign sisters. After marrying His Majesty, she was ashamed of Yue Niangniang, so she had to endure it. Also because her family was lonely and weak , she needs to look like a sage who has a deep sense of justice and righteousness in the world. No matter what, no matter what she is unhappy in her heart, she has to pretend to be nothing, and she has to 'understand' His Majesty's actions before His Majesty's explanation - now it's finally unnecessary. Pretend, she's going to get angry."

"I think you love the queen very much." The third prince frowned.

Shao Shang said: "It is very respectful, but you have to tell the truth."

"What about the eldest princess and the fifth princess?"

"The fifth sister is still locked up, the eldest princess..." The third prince's face turned cold, "The eldest sister first cried in front of the father, and then 'forgave' the father's painstaking efforts, Now I'm taking turns with the concubine to persuade the emperor not to break his body - it's no wonder that Empress Xuan is going to get sick, and I'm sick too."

Shao Shang shook his head, the long princess and his wife are really standard operation.

While speaking, the two came to the gate of Yongan Palace, and the gate of the palace was closed.

Shao Shangshuo glanced at the third prince, meaning 'the handsome guy should go to you', the third prince glanced at her, took a deep breath, called out a group of strong guards, and carried out two The people hugged the siege pestle, and then, in the sound of one, two, three, knocked open the gate of Yong'an Palace several times, and the **** with the door bolt on his head was smashed to the ground by the force of the impact.

Chengchu has also been anecdotal, the solitary crime is settled, you must reason with the mother of Xuan!"

Shao Shang turned back and said, "Who said I have to reason."

The three princes were rarely shocked.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Shao Shang hurriedly laughed, "As long as I say it, the third highness is not only innocent but also meritorious in front of His Majesty!"

The third prince blocked his voice in one breath and almost didn't ascend to heaven.

In fact, Yongan Palace has just been built for less than two years. It is slightly smaller than Changqiu Palace, but in terms of beautiful buildings and bright windows and walls, it is still superior. Shang walked all the way in and found that the place was empty and desolate.

The palace where the Empress Dowager Xuan lives now is arranged at will, except for a bed in the middle, only a small stove in the corner of the room, and nothing else. Zhai Nushou stood beside the stove in a daze, and when he saw Shaoshang coming, he hurried over to report.

Within less than a month of each other, the original black and shiny blue silk of the Queen Mother Xuan turned white, and she was full of old and decadent aura. At this moment, she was lying on her side in the quilt, her back to Shaoshang, and she said nothing.

Shao Shang stretched his neck and looked at it for a few times, then knelt down on the side of the couch, and Zhai Li cried: "You better go back, I have persuaded everything, and the niangniang can't hear anything."

Shao Shang smiled at Zhai Lao, and said slowly, "Niangniang, there is an interesting thing, I will tell Niangniang to hear it."

Zhai was stunned.

"Today the third prince took me into the palace. After he read my handwriting, he asked me in amazement 'how can it be the same as Zisheng's handwriting? It's all Master Huo's words. Haha, this person is so cunning."

The Queen Mother moved slightly.

"When I was young, people always called me a child that my parents abandoned. I thought at that time, when I grow up, this kind of thing will never happen again." Moisture slowly floated in Shang's eyes.

"If I want something, I will find a way by myself - the old man has given wisdom and strength, but some idiots are lazy and refuse to use it. Then, I met Huo Buzhu, I His ingenuity and strength were gradually shelved and turned into an ordinary idiot. Then, when I was least prepared, he abandoned me."

The Empress Dowager Xuan turned her face slightly.

"I was determined to forget Huo Buxuan, but when I opened my eyes in the morning, I would think of him telling me not to be fasting, and when I went out, I would think of the way he drove to pick me up, with food, clothing, housing and transportation, laughter and anger scolding, I can think of him anytime. So I plan to lose all the things he gave, and who knows that as soon as I lift the pen, there will be traces of him again - in this case, I am afraid I will not be able to marry anyone. "

"I don't want to stay at home and bear the pitying and worrying eyes of my parents! Madam, please help me!" Shao Shang's tears fell, dripping wet clothes, and Zhai Lao was also hanging by the side. tears.

The girl walked on her knees to the edge of the couch, clutching the quilt with a pair of small hands, pleading with a wailing voice: "Miss, I have nowhere to go, please save me, please save me! Give me a place to live. Land, help me get over this hurdle, help me forget him! I can't open my eyes every day, whether he closes his eyes or him, I will die, I will really die! Goddess, save me... Otherwise, what will I do? live..."

Zhai Ru also cried: "Mother!"

The Queen Mother finally sat up slowly, revealing a pale face full of tears.

…

The emperor stood up when he heard the news of Yong'an Palace summoning the doctor and food Can sit down and have a meal.

After eating and drinking, the emperor immediately ordered Cen Anzhi to spread the word: "Tell Shao Shang, if you want anything, just say it, and serve the Queen Mother of Huai'an well, I remember her credit!"

The emperor was in a good mood, and all the adults in Shangshutai wiped away their sweat.

The Marquis of Dayue and Marquis Yu went out of the palace together, and the two talked while walking. The Marquis of Dayue said, "Thank God, I've always been worried these days, lest the Queen Mother of Huai'an have an emergency, and His Majesty and my sister will not be able to live together again."

Yu Hou said: "It's not up to that, a woman, being abolished as the wife, there will always be a riot, but I didn't expect it would be the Cheng family who broke the game. Little girl. Alas, the Xuan family is really not very talented. I don’t know if it’s because of anger, or I really didn’t expect that at this level, the Majesty and the Empress Yue were in trouble. Empress Dowager Xuan said that they were not allowed to enter the palace, but they really did. No one has entered the palace!"

The Marquis of Dayue was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go back and thank Cheng Xiaowei for raising a good daughter."

"She is a good daughter, smart and wise, and courageous in encounters, so I plan to wait for the limelight to pass, and then go to Cheng Xiaowei to propose marriage. My twelve sons are exactly the same age as Cheng's." Yu Hou Dao.

Da Yue Hou abruptly stopped: "You you, you still wanted to marry your daughter to Zisheng!"

"So what?" Yu Hou smiled leisurely, "Marriage is a big relationship between people, and it can't be delayed. If you don't succeed here, try there, even if you can't say Cheng's family, it doesn't matter. Well. Didn't your aunt teach you this?"

Marquis Dayue flipped his sleeves: "Mum is not like you! Alas, I don't know where Zisheng is now."

Marquis Yu said with a smile: "It's okay for Zisheng, wherever he goes, he can't miss the love of women, but Cui You... The Hof people are outdated, he can't be alone for the rest of his life. Take care of me. I have a widow who has never been a widow for two years and is under thirty years old. I want to tell him, what do you think?"

The Marquis of Dayue rolled his eyes: "How is it, I think you should stop being an official in the court, and hurry up and become an ice man!"

"What's wrong with being an iceman? A few years ago, I told General Han's younger son about the sister of the second concubine. Now the young couple are in harmony and love, and they come to see me on New Years and holidays. , it's much better than complaining about being an official in the court!"

Is it?"

"I heard." Yu Hou said.

"You!" Dayue Hou paused, "Don't say that Yuan Shen went to the Cheng family to talk about scriptures, I don't believe it!"

"Of course not looking for the Cheng family and their sons. What's the matter? A family of women and a hundred families ask for it."

"But isn't Yuan Shen engaged to Cai Yun's niece?"

…

Mrs. Xiao lay on the couch and looked forward to it for a whole day. She didn’t wait for her daughter, but only for a cold edict—calling Cheng’s daughter as the palace commander of Yong’an Palace, enjoying six hundred stone officials rank; plus a decree to seal the husband and the eldest son, and a lot of money and silk.

The guests who came to Hershey soon found that the Cheng couple was unusually silent. When asked, they only said that it was spring lack.

On this day, Cheng Cha finished the housework, turned away all the maids, and walked to the bookstore alone; after searching a few rooms, she saw Cheng Cheng on the bookshelf in a library in the back Find books.

Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "Why did you come? You are going to get married next month, so you are not staying in the house to rest."

Cheng Cha didn't answer, she sat across from Cheng Cheng's desk: "Father, did you tell me last time that you wanted to bring your mother back?"

Cheng Cheng was stunned: "Yes." He was a little embarrassed, "When I was studying in Bailu Mountain, your eldest father kept sending people things over, and your uncle came to visit a few times. . They said, your mother has already changed."

Cheng Cha said, "Did your father forget your mother's humiliation and abuse?"

Cheng Cheng sighed, lowered his head and said, "Alas, I'm not as good as your uncle and uncle. I'm white, old and lame. What kind of good woman can I continue to do. Your uncle looks down on people who don't look down on me. Go up to me, you like me, but your uncle doesn't like it. Otherwise, you are greedy for the power of the Cheng family and have other plans, so you might as well bring your mother back..."

"I don't agree." Cheng Cha said, "I don't agree to bring my mother back. If my father doesn't go well, it's better to find a gentle and honest concubine to serve you first."

Cheng Cheng opened his mouth: "You, you..."

"Father knows that the great aunt is sick."

"Of course! But-"

Cheng Ching said tearfully: "The uncle told the outside that my aunt was suffering from an old illness, but I know that my aunt fell ill because of her sadness—she regrets it. She regrets leaving her aunt ten years ago. , I regret that ten years later, I was scolded and scolded, and I regret that the mother and daughter never had a day of harmony and joy that was blocked by the palace gate."

Cheng Cheng said embarrassedly: "It's all my incompetence, I didn't control your mother back then."

"But grandfather, is this fair? My uncle and aunt were pampered in their arms, and they have been loved like a treasure for more than ten years, but curled up in the hands of grandma and treated them with contempt and rudeness. When I first came to the capital, I hadn't noticed it, but now I know how abhorrent my mother's actions are!" Cheng Cha clenched her fists.

"In the past ten years, the eldest aunt sent people back several times to pick up the curl, but they were blocked by the grandmother. If you can bring Yao Yao, she can also find a satisfactory husband-in-law like sister Qi Qi of the Wan family, then there is no such thing as Lou Huo!" The girl who has always been thick and docile looked indignant. .

Cheng Cheng stroked his forehead painfully: "I understand what you mean. Although Auntie has the heart to embarrass your wife, but she is a rough-hearted mother. So far."

"I will write a letter to my aunt to explain the whole story, no matter if my aunt has changed it or not, she can't come back to Cheng's house!" Cheng Cha sat upright, her body trembling slightly, "Why do you do evil? People can die peacefully when they get old, how could grandma ever be soft-hearted to an innocent child in those ten years! As long as I stay at Cheng's house for one day, she will never want to come back!"

Cheng Cheng heard something different: "What do you mean by staying at Cheng's house for a day?"

Cheng Cha said: "I told my eldest uncle that I don't like that person, and I don't want to marry him anyway. The eldest uncle has promised to help me break off the marriage."

"How can you do this!" Cheng Cheng stood up immediately, his face flushed with anger, "Don't you know how much effort your aunt has spent on this marriage?! That family is honest, Family background is good, what are you dissatisfied with, you you you…”

"Because I can't go." Cheng Cha trembled and cried: "My aunt is so ill, it seems that all her energy has been drained! Aunt Qing wants to take care of her, who is it? Come on butler - I can't go at this time!"

Cheng Cheng was immersed in the book all day, not knowing why.

"The eldest brother has already been granted an official position, and he will go to Qingzhou to take up his post after marriage. The newly married Yan'er, do you want Auntie Auntie to stay and serve the eldest aunt?!" Cheng Cha desperately wiped her tears with her sleeves , with a mess on his face, "Brother Ercong has gone to Wan's house, and after his marriage with Qiqi, he will follow Uncle Wan to take office - who else is left in the family?!"

Cheng Cheng was stunned.

Cheng Cha took a long breath and calmed her breath: "Not only is my mother unworthy to come back to Cheng's house, but I also don't deserve to get married and live! Don't say anything, you can go back to Bailu Mountain to continue your studies, with me at home, I will take a good look at home!"

Cheng Chengmu sat back and looked at her daughter as if she had grown up overnight. She was sad and proud, and at the same time inferior to her own powerlessness, she could only sigh deeply.

After the father and daughter left, the last row of bookshelves clattered, and two teenagers emerged from behind, Cheng Shaogong and Ban Jia.

A moment ago, Cheng Shaogong sneaked in the foreman Jia to find the book, and when he heard Cheng Cheng come in, he hurriedly hid behind, so as not to be long-winded by the second uncle who loved books like his life, he could not climb out until this time.

Cheng Shaogong slapped the dust on his body, and muttered: "Look at my fate, I can always hear things that shouldn't be heard, this is good, what is the matter? Don't tell your father and mother... Hey, A Jia, what's wrong with you..."

Ban Jia stayed where he was, staring blankly at the door.

"What's the matter? What are you in a daze? Those are my second uncle and cousin, haven't you seen them?"

Ban Jia stood upright, with a dreamy look on his delicate face: "Young Palace, did you hear the lightning and thunder outside?"

What? ! - Cheng Shao Gong looked out the window, the sky was clear.

…

to clean up the Yongan Palace.

Especially in the Changqiu Palace, although it is necessary to take away the things that the Queen Mother used to use, but must not leave a mess to the Queen of Yue, unless you don't want to mix in the future. Therefore, the young merchants asked the maids and eunuchs to carry forward the spirit of 'not leaving a little garbage'. While taking away the utensils and furniture, the windows of the Changqiu Palace should be cleaned and tidy, neat but not rigid, concise but not empty, and convenient and more convenient. The queen moved in her belongings one by one.

Shao Shang was well aware of the fact that 10,000 nonsense is not as good as copper coins, so he directly took the queen's private money and offered a reward, so the palace maids and eunuchs who were decadent and depressed after the abolition revived their spirits again. In six or seven days, the two palaces were tidy up.

The emperor appreciated it very much, so he asked Cen Anzhi to carry a box of money to reward the young merchant.

Empress Yue walked around the Changqiu Palace with her arms crossed, and she expressed her satisfaction with a rare expression: "I used to think that she liked eating and playing, and was articulate, but I didn't see her doing things so neatly." They also carried a box of money over there.

Zhai Rui was still muttering 'how to show how rich she is,' and Shaoshang accepted the cash box without any burden.

Only the main hall and the inner hall of Yong'an Palace have been tidy up. The young merchant asked the Queen Mother Xuan to settle down and recuperate first. At the same time, he asked the old man to set up another kitchen beside the side hall, buy it independently, and have some access to the palace. permission.

Shao Shang looked around. In the next few years, she will set up a drawing room, a handicraft room, a textile room, a reading room in this palace... A vegetation will be opened at the back of the palace. There must be lush flowers and leaves, drink tea under the moon, taste fruits and vegetables, and have rich harvests in autumn and winter, boil soup and roast meat, and chat around the stove at night.

—This place will never become a miserable cold palace, she wants it to exude a quiet and pleasant atmosphere.

"In the future, I will set rules, I will be rewarded for merits, and punished if there are mistakes. If there is another high point, you can leave... Now, close the main gate, and I will have to come and go in the future. agree."

Seeing the vermilion door slowly closing in front of her, Shao Shang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she could hardly stand up due to the pain.

—It was also an early spring day with clear skies. The high sky was as beautiful and open as a jasper, and the mother babbled in the carriage with a stern face, and answered the fourteen-year-old girl absentmindedly. A 'city gate is closed again'.

Actually, the girl didn't tell the truth. Before the vermilion gate was closed, between the golden brass nails, she saw the handsome and tall young man galloping back again, and the horse was standing in the distance. Looking into the door from the hillside.

She couldn't see his face at such a distance, but she knew that he must be smiling to her, his smile was as gentle and clear as the spring stream, enough to make her remember lifetime.

The girl was already engaged at that time, but in the deepest part of her heart, she was still inexplicably happy.

The past was so unexpected, the young merchants who killed him had no power to fight back.

At this moment, at this moment, she clearly remembers him.

Sincerity and steadfastness; his chest was hot, his arms steady and strong—yet, she was going to forget him completely.
