The hostess of the Governor’s Mansion hasn’t come back once in two months, and Mrs. Xiao Qiao treated me very politely. Apart from presenting expensive clothing and jewelry from time to time, she also occasionally took me to participate in social activities of the Jiangdong Clan, showing my face to gain a sense of presence. .

Until the beginning of summer, under my long-awaited expectation, Zhou Yu finally returned home.

One night in June, when I was embroidering handkerchiefs in my room, a round maid named Huzhu came into the room and reported: Master is back home, madam asks my nephew to come and see him.

I smiled and asked Hu Zhu to reply: I won’t go today, and my uncle is tired, so I’ll come back tomorrow to say hello.

I learned this trick from his daughter-in-law, he must come to see me, who told him to treat guests slowly! ... Cough cough, to be honest, I don’t mind if Zhou Yu let us go for a month, no matter if it’s just an excuse, the real reason is that when facing him who has known him for seven years and pretends to be a bachelor, I’m not used to his family of four enjoying themselves happily while I Being at a loss, filled my chest with a strange rigidity, a kind of unrevealed betrayal, a kind of abandonment.

The next morning I met Zhou Yu in the nearby small garden.He has lost some weight, and the sky-blue straight-leg single shirt sets off his pale face with a rare tired look, only the charm of the phoenix eyes is still there, once you look in, you can't say even a word of rejection.

Seeing me, he showed a smile on his face, but I didn't know how to start the thousands of words in my stomach, and the two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

"Come with me to the General's Mansion tomorrow night, how about it?" He still started his head slowly.

I lowered my head and counted the gravels on the ground, and when I heard the words, I refused decisively: "No, I don't want to be sold by you."

He laughed dryly, "I still don't want you to cause trouble. It's a pity that someone knew that I had a baby niece, and turned around and reported it to General Sun's restless old lady Wu. The old lady wants you to show it to her. Look."

"Hmph, you don't even care about me. Once you come back, you'll use me to be courteous to others...I shouldn't have come here long ago. It would be nice to follow Mr.." I had infinite resentment.

Zhou Yu straightened his face and gave me a sideways look, "Okay, maybe you like to live a poor life without meat in winter?"

No one in this world knows better than him the purpose of my coming to Jiangdong, such sarcasm is too much!I suddenly became angry, suppressed a word, turned my head and left.

I thought this awkwardness would at least last until tomorrow, especially since I had never blushed with him before.I have to say that after he became an elder, his temper (face) was still as good (thick) as ever, and when it was dark, he took the initiative to come to the living room to invite dinner, and apologize by the way.

Wrapped in a quilt, I sat cross-legged on the couch, covering one side of my face like a toothache and refusing to talk to him.Lord Du Du wandered around the room several times, and suddenly reached out his hand to the window sill and pinched the casement and shook it. The thin window sash was forced by his torture, and it creaked as it was about to die.

"What are you doing?" I was inexplicably dizzy by his actions, and couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence.

"Of course I tricked you into talking, and then reconciled." He replied seriously.

I don't want to have this kind of unnutritious conversation anymore, and I can't ask people outside to see off the guests. After all, he is the one who pays everyone here, so I turned my head angrily and stared at the celadon flowerpot in the corner.

"I was wrong, Guanglan, I was confused and said the wrong thing. You have to go through the test in front of you. Go and see Mrs. Wu. Uncle promises that there will be no next time! Uncle is also in trouble. You are my son-in-law. First-line relatives, nieces and daughters, don't bring such harm to relatives..."

Every sentence is conditional, and it really doesn't match his usual style!Although it is not convincing, but I thought of my husband's exhortation when I came...

It was the second day after I returned to Longzhong after the activity of "Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan". The night was warm and windy. My husband called me to the edge of the porch, and he sat on the edge of the wooden corridor first. Legs dangling in the air.I believe I must have contorted my face at that time because I was full of surprise, because my husband smiled like a child, as if there was soft moonlight shining on his face, and there was even a hint of slyness at the corners of his lips.

He patted the wooden floor beside him, "Guanglan, sit here."

"Oh." I sat down dizzily.It's been a long time since I saw my husband show such a childish expression naturally, and it's been a long time since I saw him so emotional.

I tidied up the hem of my skirt quite restrainedly, while peeking at Mr.'s face:

He's in a good mood now, is it because I, a rice bug, is finally leaving?No, no, Mr. is not such a person.

Speaking of leaving Longzhong, although I was reluctant in my heart, I would not be very resistant. After all, I ran to my husband's house alone, and I was secretly grateful that he didn't kick me to Mobei to plant rose apples. I missed it.

I was thinking wildly to no avail. At this time, my husband finally opened his mouth. He probably guessed my thoughts and patted me on the head, "What is Guanglan thinking in a daze? I only have a few words to tell you. Stay in Jiangdong In that place, you need to listen to his advice more, you also know that he does things very safely, don't make things difficult for him."

I quickly raised my face and gave a smile: "Okay, sir." I was slandering in my heart why, Du Minghan asked me to help him count the money after he sold me.

Then the husband finally told me the specific departure time.I was a little overwhelmed to see my wife packing my luggage, while Cai Wuer was holding my skirt with tears in his eyes and reluctant to let me go, which made me feel sad.I took care of this kid like a son for five months, and I took care of all the eating, drinking, and messing around. After this time, when Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu Huang go to war in two years, I probably won't be able to come back again.

Gu Cheng spent an afternoon in the back mountain looking for Lao Dongzhu to cut a five-hole flute with me.He handed the flute into my hands, and said seriously: "Next time I go home, I will bring you the Xiaoxiang flute I hid."

On the night before I left, Madam took a bath for me in person.Her slightly rough hands massaged my back vigorously, and her voice was unprecedentedly gentle: "Guanglan is going to a place that has never been lived before. Guanglan must learn to be strong, protect herself, and understand what she wants. what's the thing."

"Madam's words, I will keep them firmly in my heart." I reached out and took her hand.

I once tentatively asked my husband how much his wife knew about what he did. I thought that my husband would continue to smile classically and keep his words unfathomable, but he actually told me seriously that he knew more about his wife than his wife did. His understanding is much shallower.

Does this count as telling my wife in disguise that "a sage does nothing and teaches without words" to him?So I could only hold my forehead and sigh: the logic of an expert outside the world is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us.

The next day, I bid farewell to my wife, Wu'er and Gu Cheng.I rode a horse, and my husband drove me to the outskirts of Xiangyang on Asu.

"Pay more attention to yourself." The husband told me the same way every time we parted, but I was in a daze: Oh my god, that's what he said to me fourteen months ago, and then disappeared from the world I live in. Evaporation needs to be clean and thorough: if you evaporate, you will get angry at least for a while. At that time, not a single molecule was left behind, which almost made me suspect that my experience of seven years was a person who woke up with his head on a log and found that the yellow rice in the pot was cooked. transparent dream.

The two bid farewell at the long pavilion on the outskirts of the city.I looked back, the sun was shining, but the back of my husband leaving was illusory.Sometimes I really doubt whether such a former ascetic in white clothes is a wandering phantom projected in this world.

I didn't want to go into the city for a while, not to mention that there are so many people in the city, and this place can speak Mandarin of the Han Dynasty--there are very few people with Luoyang accent and Guanzhong accent, so communication is a problem.However, I had to return the horse that Gu Cheng had rented for me. Fortunately, it was not the first time I came to Xiangyang. I took the horse and headed straight for the west gate.

What I never expected at that time was that Du Minghan would pick me up at the pier in person, and he sacrificed his image a lot, wearing coarse brown clothes and a bamboo hat, and dressed up like a fisherman on the river.

I didn't recognize him in a daze, until I turned around on the pier, and he walked up to me and said, "Hi, beauty."

I stared at the fish-smelling guy in front of me with rounded eyes, screaming desperately in my heart that I must have misidentified the person.

Du Minghan motioned me to follow him, and I awkwardly stepped on the scattered cabbage and fish scales, and followed him to a small fishing boat moored on the pier.Fortunately, although the interior of the ship is crude, it is still clean, otherwise my small universe would really explode.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Du Minghan reached out and took off the bamboo hat, revealing his usual face with a smirk.Compared with fourteen months ago, he has hardly changed, his resentfully handsome eyes are still full of evil - I can't help but doubt that his new lord can feel comfortable looking at such eyes, and looks like a bad guy Well!

Memories are over.

Withdrawing my wandering gaze, I smiled wryly at Zhou Yu, who was flickering eyelashes and wagging his big tail, "I'll go. But you have to say something first, you can't just marry me off like this..."

Zhou Yu winked at me, "Don't worry. Unless classmate Cao Aman from Jiangbei wants you to marry and get married, I will block everyone else. But I think, um, this assumption is really difficult to hold. No one would look at it. hit you..."

I got angry when I heard that, I rolled up my arms and sleeves and wanted to go up and pat him, but after a long time I found that the clothes were too many layers and I couldn't pull them up, so let him go and fight again in the next day.

I heard that I promised to go to the banquet, and my virtuous and considerate aunt sent someone to send a new dress, and she also said: "Alan will see if you like it first, and if you don't like it, send someone to the embroidery room to get it."

I stopped talking to Zhou Yu, turned around and tossed my new clothes happily.

Zhou Yu said quietly outside the house: "I know beautiful clothes. Women are so vain, hum!"

After hearing this, I sneered in the room, stretched out my hand and tightened my belt, and said, "I just know how to eat, drink, whore and gamble. Men are really hypocritical, huh!"
