Rong Xuan

Yanyang's most famous wine is called Ruan Ruan Xiang, which is sweet and soft in the mouth, but has an incomparable aftertaste.

Perhaps because of Sima Xuan's presence, Cao Hui unscrupulously killed a whole jade pot of Wen Rouxiang while eating in the Spring and Autumn Building.

The stamina of Gentle Township is naturally strong, Cao Hui fell asleep in the dark immediately after being brought home by Sima Xuan, and when she woke up the next day, she only felt dizzy and didn't know what night it was.

Her eyelids were very heavy, almost heavier than Sima Xuan's black iron Wuhen long knife, she tried to sit up again, but failed dizzily.

After falling back on the bed again, Cao Hui simply lay on his back.

Her mind was blank for a long time.

Looking at the carved pattern on the top of the bed, Cao Hui's memory was vague - she vaguely remembered that she and Sima Xuan went out to eat together.

And...then what?

Then she seemed to have a quarrel with someone?No...is it a dispute?No, no, she seems to be holding someone back and vomiting a lot of bitterness to them?

... This doesn't seem right either.

However, she seemed to have had a bad dream, but after waking up, she couldn't remember anything. Now that she thought about it suddenly, all she had was a lingering fear.

... What happened to her? !Why can't I remember anything?Apart from being drunk, why did she still feel particularly uncomfortable in her heart, and even had an inexplicable sense of sadness? ?

Why why?

Fortunately, before Cao Hui thought about these thoughts and went crazy, Yuyan pushed the door and walked in.

"Is madam awake?" Yuyan tentatively asked inside the bed curtain, seeing that the person inside seemed to have raised his arm, Yuyan hurried over and hung up the bed curtain, and sighed: "Madam is awake." Come here, the servants are already ready to send someone to invite the Langzhong to the house!"

"Water..." After the bed curtain was hung up, Cao Hui's voice was so dry that he couldn't make a sound, so he had to ask Yuyan for water over and over again.

Yuyan hurriedly poured lukewarm water and came to feed it to the mistress Cao Hui.

After drinking three cups of water, Cao Hui's discomfort improved slightly, and the burning and dryness in his internal organs seemed to be suppressed a little.

With Yuyan's help, she sat up slowly, half leaning on the head of the bed, pinching the center of her brows, as if she had something to say or something to ask, but she opened her mouth but said nothing.

"Madam, please wait a moment, the small kitchen should deliver food..." Yuyan seemed to always have something to do in her hands, and she looked up at the door while adding charcoal to the stove. With a glance, "Hey, it really came right after I said it."

After the sound fell, I saw a few little maids outside holding a tray and waiting for something to file in - there were two groups of people who came in, one group brought food, and the other group brought hot water.

For a moment, Cao Hui wanted to get back under the quilt and continue lying down, but she didn't want to get up, she was so uncomfortable, her head was so numb and painful.

But she can get up even if she doesn't want to, just as her father said to her mother many years ago-"Hui'er wants to stay in bed, then let her go, the daughter's family, isn't it just the few years of her life in her own house?" Is it the most comfortable, after a few years she gets married and becomes the head of someone else's family, she will no longer be able to do whatever she wants..."

What's more, this is not in Cao Hui's own small home, it is outside.

After waking up, he tidied up briefly. Cao Hui had no appetite for the time being, so he quietly ate a few mouthfuls of food, then walked over, leaned against the warm couch and became dazed—probably because he drank too much wine last night, She still felt a little uncomfortable right now.

She warned herself repeatedly in her heart that even with Sima Yuanchu by her side in the future, she could not relax a little bit about what she should be sure about and what kind of measure she should be thinking about.

In the vast world, some people can't rely on them, because relying on them means worrying about gains and losses for a lifetime.

Because of drunkenness, I fell asleep for a night and half a day, and it was only the end of the hour. Cao Hui's mind was still a little drowsy, so he wanted to lean on the warm couch for a while longer, but he didn't want to. Relying on it, he fell on the warm couch again, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

……

It was already very late when Sima Xuan came back, she spent the whole day on the banquet table outside, even though she saw that the lights were still on in the second room, she didn't dare to disturb her.

I thought I'd wash up and go to sleep after being tired all day, but when Sima Xuan came out of the clean room and passed by the next time, he saw that the light was still on inside.

She stopped involuntarily.

The time has passed, and occasionally dazzling fireworks burst into the dark night sky, and the dazzling dazzling fireworks are fleeting, leaving only continuous snowflakes still flying.

The next time, under a candle lamp by the bedside, Cao Hui's dream turned upside down and he couldn't wake up no matter what.

The sound of the clapper, the dream beam beside the Santu River.

"The first assistant, Cao Ke, conspired to rebel and forced the palace, and has been put to death. Now, all members of the Cao family will be executed!"

The verdict of His Majesty the Emperor proclaimed to the world echoed in the mist. Cao Hui in the dream stood still and did not dare to move. She saw countless bones and withered hands appearing from all directions. They were scratching and looking for anything. Grabbed by them, it will become a handful of powder in the hands of Bai Gu in an instant, and will be scattered by the wind.

Cao Huizheng didn't know how to dodge when he saw a withered hand grabbing towards his feet. Suddenly, a traceless waist knife made of black iron appeared out of nowhere, and he slashed straight at him involuntarily.

Cao Hui couldn't dodge it in time, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the light on Heishen Dao's body - it was the legendary non-marking blade that only dying people could see.

Suddenly, there was a man's voice that was obviously gentle and peaceful but could make people's skin crawl - "Cao Shi Yuanrong, you are too smart, you will never die!"

Trembling all over, Cao Hui suddenly woke up from the dream. She felt her face was cold, and she wiped it off, and found that her head was covered with cold sweat.

With a long breath of relief, her ears were buzzing, she shook her head, and found that the words in the dream seemed to follow her out of the dream, lingering in her ears—"Cao Shiyuan Rong, you are too smart, so where will you go if you don't die!"

Yes, she is the only daughter of the rebellious minister Cao Ke, and the younger sister of the rebellious general Cao Zheng, but besides her aunt Cao Empress who is the mother of a country is still alive, she Cao Hui is one of the 120 people with the surname Cao The only one who survived.

That's why the person in the dream said to her, what can I do if I don't die?

In the room illuminated by only one candle lamp, Cao Hui didn't even have time to calm down his rapid and flustered breathing, so he arched his body and shrunk himself into a ball, tightly sticking to the corner of the bed.

"Hui'er," she suddenly remembered, someone once said to her: "Although the northern border is not as safe as the capital, don't be afraid, I will keep you safe and sound."

Si, Ma, Yuan, Chu.

Muttering these four words in her heart for the umpteenth time, it still made her so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Maybe what my brother said before he was alive was right. In this world, only another dripping blood can cover up the last dripping blood.

The cold wind outside the window was stern, the night snow was flying, the figure of the tall and tall figure flashed, and finally left here quietly, leaving only a pair of inconspicuous boot prints on the outside of the eaves, gradually fascinated by the falling snowflakes. cover.

……

Sima Xuan hadn't appeared for several days, and Cao Hui's life was not the same as usual, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the small Buddhist hall behind him from morning to night, and occasionally going to the Fushou Hall of the main mansion during the day Accompany the grandmother and the old lady.

Even if someone asked about Sima Xuan's whereabouts or recent situation, Cao Hui could always prevaricate in a few words without any trace, and she herself had never said a single word about Sima Xuan.

Cao Hui didn't know where she had offended Sima Yuanchu's eccentric guy again, but even though she had a plan in her heart, she was a little at a loss by Sima Xuan's "no meeting" now.

...or...or...it was Sima Xuan, the guy who was always calm...

Sima Xuan avoided seeing Cao Hui until February two months later, when everything was flourishing and the grass was growing and the warbler was flying.

In the afternoon of this day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was very fine. The small incense burner next to it was emitting wisps of thin smoke at a leisurely pace. Cao Hui was sitting calmly in front of the small desk and copying Sanskrit scriptures. There are visitors outside.

guest?

Cao Hui put down the brush in his hand, and looked at Yuyan calmly: "If your master is not in the mansion, then tell the guest the truth and ask him to come back another day. If the guest is willing to wait, then ask the guest to wait in the flower hall." Remember to tell the servants that no matter the status of the visitor is high or low, prepare tea and cakes, and don't be courteous or slow to wait."

Yuyan, who had always done things properly and neatly, hesitated for a moment, "Ma'am, Fang Yong from the outer courtyard has already invited the guest to the West Flower Hall in the front yard, but the guest came to see you, and he said he was your Changan My old acquaintance, surnamed Ji."

Cao Hui's heart skipped a beat, and then he stood up from the stool calmly.

"Can the lord be in the mansion?" Cao Hui asked.

Yu Yan: "Not here, this morning, Master and Second Young Master Di were invited to play polo at the polo field outside Yanyang City."

"Yuyan, please come and help me comb my hair." She pretended to be Miss Xun, the real girl Xun had never married, and her black hair was not suitable for a bun.

After speaking, Cao Hui came to sit in front of the dressing table under the window, and said softly: "Send another reliable person to report to Junhou, and say that Ji Zhongcheng from Yushitai has passed the house, so she has something in her heart. Spectrum."

Yuyan should have gone to the door first to explain Cao Hui's orders, and then came over to comb her hair with Cao Hui.

Soon after putting away her make-up, Cao Hui still covered her face with plain gauze, and led Yuyan to the front yard to meet guests.

When people from the Yuyan faction came all the way to the polo field outside Yanyang City, Sima Xuanzheng was sitting with his second cousin Sima Di, eating wine and watching a polo match with a group of children from aristocratic families.

"But something is going on at home?" Seeing that Sima Xuan's face darkened after listening to Liu Sheng's whispered report, Sima Di, who was sitting on the right, quietly touched Sima Xuan's arm with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, why don't you go first?" Shall we go back?"

"...It's fine," Sima Xuan had already put his foot on the stool, but at the last moment he chose to sit still, shook his head slightly, and casually squeezed a roasted peanut to go with the wine and threw it into his mouth In the middle of the night, the tiger teeth were half exposed: "It's just that there are colleagues from the court and China visiting the house, and she can handle it by herself."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Sima Di narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, tilted his head and gave a knowing expression, and dragged out his voice: "This girl has already made you worry about her like this before she even passed the door. , It’s really incredible, incredible.”

Sima Xuan pursed his lips, and a small hole appeared under the corner of his mouth, and the playful canine tooth on the right also accidentally revealed a small pointed end-this little cold face was actually said to be ashamed and joked.

The smile on Sima Di's face gradually changed from a low-browed smile to a loud laugh, attracting the attention of many children from aristocratic families at the banquet.

"Brother Muhe, you lost the match against C, why are you laughing upside down?" A young man with white face and beardless nearby looked at Sima Di in puzzlement, and by the way, Sima Xuan, who was downcast and silent. .

"No it, no it," Sima Di laughed so much that his shoulders trembled and he almost leaned forward and backward. He waved his hands and said intermittently: "I just heard it, I heard a joke hahaha...my family, my family haha——my family At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he said that he could not play polo hahaha..."

Everyone: "..."

The majestic Marquis of Jingling from the sixteen prefectures in the north can't even play polo... I really want to laugh...but I dare not laugh...

Sima Xuan: "..."

Is it too late for her to return to Yanyang City... She should be in time...

The author has something to say:

The arrogant Sima Xuanxuan: Hmph, who doesn't have a temper.

Confused Cao Hui: Who can tell me what this guy is up to...

Hahahahahaha, Happy New Year everyone
