Huaxi Chronicle

After Chu Wuge left, Xun Feibai and Xun Feibai did not continue to play chess, but sat beside the short table for a while.

Yan Cong'an lowered his eyes in thought, frowned slightly, with a look of indifference on his face.Seeing her sitting still for a while, Xun Feibai quietly sat closer, brushing Yan Cong'an's hand holding the teacup.

Yan Cong'an looked back, saw the worried expression on her face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Fei Bai don't worry, I'm just thinking about something."

Xun Feibai took her right hand, held it in the palm of his hand, squeezed it and said: "Things will always be resolved, we will take care of them one by one slowly. Things will be smooth when things are slow, and things will be chaotic if things are urgent."

Yan Cong'an calmed down, let go of distracting thoughts, leaned on Xun Fei's white shoulder, and closed his eyes to rest.

The light soap locust fragrance is extraordinarily reassuring.

Xu time.

Boom, boom, boom.

Someone knocked on the door of Chu Wuge's room, she stood up and opened it, and saw Yan Cong'an standing outside, she asked suspiciously: "You come to look for me alone at this hour, but do you have something important to discuss?"

Yan Cong'an sat down beside the short table in the house, reached out and took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and handed it to Chu Wuge.Chu Wuge took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a while.

This jade pendant is made of mutton fat white jade. One side of the jade is engraved with a beast-shaped pattern. The pattern is meticulously carved, even the hair of the little beast is carved out, which shows the outstanding craftsmanship of the sculptor.On the extension of the animal-shaped pattern, there is a circle of special-shaped lines, like various vines intertwined.

Chu Wuge felt that this pattern seemed to have been seen somewhere, but she didn't have a deep impression. She turned the jade pendant over, and the other side of the jade pendant was a word Si.

Seeing this word, Chu Wuge turned the jade pendant over again, carefully looked at the animal-shaped pattern, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she remembered where she had seen this pattern.

It was also a jade pendant, seen in the study of her second sister Chu Wuyou, that jade pendant was given to her second sister by someone else, this little beast was the clan crest of the person who gave the jade, but the person who gave the jade... ...

Thinking of that person, Chu Wuge was startled. She looked sideways at Yan Cong'an, and asked solemnly, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Seeing her appearance, Yan Cong'an's heart sank, the jade pendant was exactly what he had guessed: "This is left by Xun Feibai's mother."

Chu Wuge frowned and said: "The animal-shaped pattern on the other side of this jade pendant is the totem of the Si family. This jade pendant can only be obtained by the blood of the first blood, and each piece of jade pendant looks similar, but they are different. The difference lies in the animal-shaped pattern On this side, the special pattern on the top is an ancient counting method, which records the specific time when the jade pendant was carved. It is also the birthday of the jade wearer."

"Each piece of jade pendant corresponds to only one person. People from other races don't know the mystery of it, and even if they turn it over, they don't know what the patterns on the jade mean. You can't tell who owns the jade."

Secretary, the surname of the official family of the dynasty.If Yan Cong'an's guess is correct, Xun Feibai's mother should be a member of the royal family, but Yan Cong'an can't determine which family member it is.

Yan Cong'an looked at the pattern on the jade pendant: "Do you know what this means?"

Chu Wuge remembered an old event, and asked: "I don't know what the lines mean, but I think of a past event I heard, maybe it is related. If Xun Feibai's mother is alive, what is she doing now?" age?"

Yan Cong'an lowered his eyes and pondered. Xun Feibai told her that her mother came to Xun's family when she was five or six years old, married his father 11 years later, and had her in the second year, and Xun Feibai this year A 17-year-old: "About 35 years old. Her mother fled to Huaxi County and was taken in by the Xun family. She only has this jade pendant on her body. I don't know the exact age."

Chu Wuge thought for a moment: "This jade pendant can only be found in the blood of the royal family. In addition to Xun Feibai's mother's age, I can now think that the two are related to this jade pendant."

Yan Cong'an frowned and said, "Who is it?"

Chu Wuge frowned and said, "Thirty years ago, in the second year of Chengkang. At that time, the late emperor was only 30 years old. He hadn't reached the crown, nor was he married. He shouldn't have a five or six-year-old daughter. At that time, he was also a direct relative of the Tian family Princess Ruihe and Prince Hejian are both married, and only their children are eligible to own this jade pendant."

"The sixteenth king of Hejian got married. When the first emperor came to the throne, he already had one son and two daughters. Princess Rui and the eldest princess were older than the king of Hejian, and had a daughter with his concubine. The daughters are all similar to Xun Feibai's mother. In the first year of Chengkang, the king of Hejian rebelled and his family was punished, but the youngest daughter was taken away by the old servant at home and escaped from birth. The eldest daughter of Rui and the eldest princess, in the second year of Yuankang He was robbed by thieves, and there was no news of it."

Yan Cong'an's heart sank when he heard the words, if Xun Feibai's mother was the daughter of Princess Rui and the eldest princess, then she was the current princess.If it is the daughter of the king of Hejian, then she is the descendant of the rebellious minister.These two identities, life and death, Yan Cong'an dare not make a decision lightly.

Chu Wuge knew that she was worried, and said in a deep voice: "I will first remove the jade pendant decoration and investigate secretly. First find out what year and month the jade pendant is engraved on. If it is wrong, you will destroy this jade pendant." No more. Without it, there is no proof."

Yan Cong'an suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Which of the two of her names has the word banyan?"

Chu Wuge shook his head and said: "I don't know this. After I inquire about it and compare it with the engraved pattern, I should be able to confirm it."

Yan Cong'an thought for a while, and said, "You can just ask for the name first, and the rest will be investigated after we get married."

The two are getting married soon, Yan Cong'an doesn't want to delay the wedding due to this incident.She planned to tell Xun Feibai about this after the two got married, and then she would decide whether to investigate or not.

Chu Wuge originally wanted to stay in the Random Garden for a while, but unexpectedly received a letter from her family the next day, forcing her to leave Binzhou in a hurry and head for northern Xinjiang.

June 28.

Yan Cong'an was sitting in a small building in the middle of the lake, leaning on a soft couch to read a book.But her beautiful eyes always raised her head inadvertently, looking at the moon gate in the courtyard.Xun Feibai went out after lunch at noon today, saying that Mu Hanlin had an invitation.

Seeing the sun set, the sky began to darken.Yan Cong'an still did not see the figure she had been waiting for in the moon gate.

Yuzhu carried a small lantern and approached Xiaozhu, saw Yan Cong'an, leaned over and said, "The food is ready, but San Niangzi is ready to eat?"

Yan Cong'an looked at the lantern in her hand, and asked without answering, "Did the guard come back to send a message that Fei Bai can go home for dinner?"

"Miss Xun didn't ask anyone to bring me a word. I think she wants to have dinner at home." She thought for a while and then persuaded, "Third lady, it's getting dark now, and the evening wind in the small building is a bit cool. If you sit It will be bad if you suffer from the wind and cold here, how about the third lady go to the room and wait for little lady Xun?"

At this time, the wind in the lake was a bit cool, Yan Cong'an got up and walked out of the small building, and when he was about to walk to the room, he was still a little worried, and said to Yuzhu: "Go to the door and see, there is no one in sight. Arrange for guards to go out and find her."

Yuzhu had something on her mind, and after walking all the way, she couldn't hold back for a long time. Hearing what Yan Cong'an said, she had to suppress her emotions and replied in a low voice: "Yes." After sending Yan Cong'an to the door of the room, she hurriedly Turn around quickly and leave.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Yan Cong'an was a little puzzled, but he didn't stop her, and turned to enter the room.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Cong'an was startled when he saw the people sitting next to him, but he seemed to react immediately.She raised her eyebrows slightly, sat down on the other side of the short table, looked at the person opposite, and said with a smile: "When did you come back, why didn't I see you."

The person sitting next to the long table was none other than Xun Feibai.She didn't answer, but picked up a bowl of noodles on the short table, put it in Yan Cong'an's hand, and said with a smile: "I made the longevity noodles that I made all afternoon, Cong'an should try it quickly."

Yan Cong'an looked at the noodles on the table, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "So Fei Bai said he was going out at noon, is he lying to me?"

Xun Feibai blushed slightly, and explained: "If I didn't say that, I wouldn't be able to secretly learn how to make this noodle. Cong'an Mo will blame me." Then he looked at the noodles and said, "Taste it quickly from Cong'an. taste."

The noodle soup in the bowl is clear, and the noodles in the soup are of different thicknesses. There is a boiled egg spread out on top of the noodles, and green onions of different sizes are sprinkled on the egg. There are no expensive ingredients in this bowl of noodles, and it looks unpretentious. Even poorly presented.

Xun Feibai saw that Yan Cong'an had been looking at the bowl of noodles but refused to do it for a long time, thinking that she didn't like it, and felt a little disappointed, but it was true that his skills were not good enough, so he smiled and said: "If Cong'an If you don’t like it, I’ll ask Yuzhu to make another bowl for you.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to bring the side back.

Yan Cong'an gently patted her hand away, feigning anger and said: "When did I say that I don't like it? This is the first time Fei Bai cooks for me. I just watched it for a while, how could you see that it's me?" I do not like."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xun Feibai, picked up the chopsticks at the side, picked up the noodles gently, and ate slowly.

In this bowl of noodles made by Xun Feibai, the noodles are not strong, the noodle soup is also very light, and the center of the yolk of the boiled egg is not yet cooked.But Yan Cong'an felt that it was extremely delicious, and it was the most delicious bowl of longevity noodles she had ever eaten since she grew up.

In the afternoon in the kitchen, I learned how to make noodles with Aunt Li. I just learned how to knead the noodles for an hour. Then I rolled the noodles and cut them. They were either too thick or too thin. I had to cut the noodles more than ten times with the rolling belt and cut them. Out of this bowl of noodles, from kneading the noodles to chopping the chopped green onions, it was all done by her alone.

Seeing that Yan Cong'an didn't dislike it after taking a sip, Xun Feibai was very happy, and smiled and gave her some side dishes made by Yuzhu.

Yan Cong'an doesn't eat much on weekdays, but today he seldom finished that bowl of noodles.

After the meal, the two sat on the porch of the main house to enjoy the cool air. Yan Cong'an asked with a faint smile, "How does Fei Bai know that today is my birthday?"

Xun Feibai waved the cattail fan in his hand to drive away the flying insects for the two of them. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "You and I have exchanged marriage certificates, and there are birthdays and dates on it."

Yan Cong'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and joked with a smile: "So Fei Bai was planning to celebrate my birthday for me at that time?"

Xun Feibai found it difficult to answer this question. It seemed that both yes and no were wrong. If she answered yes, she would be lying. She would be unhappy if she was seen by Cong An, and she would be unhappy if she answered no. The answer is that he can only blush and don't answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Yan Cong'an didn't chase after her to answer.She asked that question only to tease Xun Feibai, as far as she was concerned, she didn't care whether Xun Feibai thought about celebrating her birthday at that time.Xun Feibai was able to remember her birthday, and made this bowl of noodles today, Yan Cong'an was delighted.

Yan Cong'an leaned closer to Xun Feibai slightly, looked at her with a light smile and said, "Fei Bai celebrated my birthday today, how should I repay Fei Bai?"

As soon as Yan Cong Anfu approached, a faint cold fragrance spread from the tip of her nose. She was too familiar with this fragrance. Whenever the two of them fell asleep together in Baoshanzhai, this faint fragrance always lingered At the tip of the nose, deeply engraved in Xun Feibai's mind.

Thinking of this, Xun Feibai blushed suddenly.She moved back a little bit, shook her head and said: "I just made a bowl of noodles for Cong'an, but Cong'an treats me ten times and a hundred times better than this on weekdays, how can I ask Cong'an to thank me."

Yan Cong'an noticed her little movement of retreating, leaned forward again, moved closer to her, and said with a smile, "So Fei Bai thought so, so how does Fei Bai want to thank me?"

Yan Cong'an's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his bright eyes seemed to be full of starlight under the moonlight. Xun Feibai was addicted to it unknowingly, and his mind seemed to be bewitched. ?”

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Yan Cong'an couldn't help chuckling, and leaned into Xun Feibai's ear and whispered, "Will Feibai answer me for any thank you I want?"

The warm air blowing past her ears aroused a strange feeling in Xun Feibai's heart, as if being gently scratched by a cat's paw, the numbness was especially itchy. She followed Yan Cong'an's words and nodded her head, her throat A word slid out of the room: "En."

The tips of Xun Fei's white ears became more and more rosy, as if they could ooze blood.Seeing this, Yan Cong'an was very happy.She brushed Xun Feibai's reddened eartips with her lips inadvertently, then kissed Xun Feibai's side face lightly, and left quickly, looking at her narrowly and saying, "Just now I just pretended to be Fei Bai to help me celebrate my birthday." thank you."

The light touch of the tip of the ear disappeared, and then the cheek was gently kissed. Although the kiss was soft, it carried a warm breath. Before Xun Feibai had time to feel it, the soft lips had left.

She slowly turned her face to the side, looking at the delicate face of the person in front of her, her face was blushing.She wanted to kiss Yan Cong'an, but she was a little shy, so she stretched out her hand and pulled him into her arms, hugging him tightly.She took a deep breath, smelling the cold fragrance from Yan Cong'an's body, and suppressed the restlessness in her heart.

The two hugged each other for a moment, Xun Feibai remembered something, and whispered in her ear: "Happy birthday to Cong'an. May every year in Cong'an be like today, every year be like today, everything goes smoothly, and life is safe and joyful."

Yan Cong'an leaned on her shoulder, smiling like a flower, but with a trace of helplessness.Seeing Xun Feibai's fiery eyes just now, Yan Cong'an thought that this person was going to kiss her, but in the end he was still stupid enough to hug her.

Hearing her heart beating like a drum, Yan Cong'an sighed slightly, but he didn't know that tender voice came from his ear again.Each of those words seemed to turn into nectar, passing through the ears and flowing into the bottom of the heart, stirring up ripples in the heart lake.
