The cold wind is biting on Jiangjun Mountain, and the dead leaves dance gently in the wind, adding to the loneliness.
Li Yikan and Er were pulling wormwood beside the graves of the two marquises, and Mu Yan was gently wiping the dust on the tombstone in front of his grandfather's grave.
Then he sat on the ground in front of the monument, looking blankly.
His grandfather said, "Yan'er, if you want anything, go for it yourself, others will not give it to you..." When he was a child, his grandfather said many things to him, and he remembered most of them. When he was a child, he didn't understand much, so his grandfather just let him
Remember, you will understand later.
Slowly, he grew up and gradually understood.
When he was a child, he didn't want many things, but others forced them into his hands. Later, he wanted them, but others wouldn't give them to him, and he didn't bother to ask for them. Now, he has something he wants again, but...
But he didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
After a long cold wind blew on Jiangjun Mountain, Mu Yan finally got up and returned to the city.
Li Yi watched with distress, but Kan Er couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed to Mu Yan: "Master, have you finished speaking to the old Marquis? Are you in a better mood?"
"Um."
Kan Er let out a heavy breath with a smile on his face: "Master, I will practice with you again tonight, if you don't tell me stop."
"No money."
Uh... "What about eight taels?"
"Five liang? Three liang? One liang! It can't be lower than that. The Huoluo ointment in the medical center only costs 2 liang a bottle. I have to add one liang myself! Master, can one liang be all right?"
"Five hundred articles. Do you want love?"
"Ah, Master, you can't be so picky! Master, let's discuss it..."
A master, two servants and three horses were passing by on the path, and the sound was soon lost to hearing.
In Qionghua Lane, Huo Xi and Gong Ziyi came back from a tour of the inner city. The carriage was approaching the entrance of the alley.
"Let's stop here. I walked in and stretched my muscles a bit. They were all numb from sitting." Huo Xi was helped out of the car by Vanilla and Xia He.
Gong Ziyi looked at her with a smile: "Can you change your outfit next time?" He had not seen her in a dress yet, and he was looking forward to it in his heart.
Huo Xi lowered his head and glanced at himself, but didn't agree: "It's convenient." When entering the city, she still wore men's clothes so as not to attract attention.
"Okay. As long as you are happy." Gong Ziyi nodded with a smile.
Although Xi'er didn't reply to him after he confessed his love that day, he knew that she must have thought about it in her heart and just spent the past two days traveling around with him. Gong Ziyi couldn't help but feel excited.
"I'll come back to have dinner with my aunt tomorrow."
Seeing Huo Xi nodding, Gong Ziyi turned around and left. Seeing the carriage go away, Huo Xi also entered the alley with the two girls.
Not far away, Mu Yan was riding on a horse, watching this scene with a calm expression.
Li Yi glanced at him worriedly.
When Kan Er saw Mu Yan riding away, he asked Li Yi puzzledly: "Why don't you go and say hello to Madam Huo? You can go in and have a meal."
"Is there less food for you in the house?"
"No. But doesn't the young master like to eat at Huo's house?"
"Young Master has no appetite."
"Ah, oh, let's come back when the young master has an appetite."
Li Yi didn't want to talk to this idiot. He chased after the young master. "Wait for me." Kan Er also chased after him.
Mu Yan hadn't been here for a while, and Huo Nian felt a little strange. He really liked the brother who taught him martial arts, and quietly asked Mu Jie: "Why doesn't your brother come to see you?"
Mu Jie tilted his head: "I went home from Xiumu a few days ago and saw my brother. My brother said that he was busy, and there were many things for him to do in the Jinyiwei Yamen." My brother was so busy and came to see him. My brother finally came to see him.
It hurts him.
Huo Nian had some small regrets. But thinking that Mu Jie lived at home, he would always see Brother Mu, so he put the matter aside.
The night breeze was cold, Li Yi knocked on the door of the study room, and when there was no answer, he pushed the door open and entered.
There was a candle on the table, and Mu Yan was sleeping with his fist on his forehead and his eyes closed. The cold wind penetrated, and the candle flame swayed twice with the wind, making it even more obvious that the human figure in front of the table was alone. Li Yi couldn't help but feel distressed, and left
passed.
"Master, Master." He called softly twice.
Mu Yan opened his eyes and looked at him, "Master, go back to your room and sleep. It's cold at night."
Mu Yan stood up and closed the book on the table. Seeing that he had walked out of the room, he quickly turned around to follow. When he was walking to the door of the room, he saw the young master paused and stopped too.
Suddenly, he saw the young master jump up again, tap twice on the pillars of the room, and fly away quickly outside the courtyard wall. He quickly got up and followed.
"Don't follow."
Li Yi paused and looked worriedly at the direction the young master was leaving.
The night was as cold as water, but Huo Xi seemed unaware. She was placing a bunch of small things given by Gong Ziyi on the table. While placing them, she complained, did she look so childish? What did she buy? This is a child's play.
Right?
I also felt that this kind of kindness was rare. What girl doesn’t like to receive gifts? There was a smile on her lips.
Mu Yan was sitting on the opposite roof, watching from a distance, feeling that her smile was very annoying.
Huo Xi admired them for a long time, then put these gadgets into the box, touched them again and again, then turned around and went to sleep.
Mu Yan gently landed in the house and glanced into the inner room. Hearing Huo Xi's soft snoring behind the curtain, he knew that she was fast asleep. His eyes fell on the box on the table. After a breath, he picked up the box and
Fly away.
The next day, Huo Xi got up and didn't see the box on the table. She thought Xia He or Vanilla had put it away for her, so she didn't ask. After that, she and Gong Ziyi went around the capital and got another gift from him.
There are so many little things that I never thought about taking them out of the box and playing with them.
It was the end of November, and after many reminders from home, Gong Ziyi came to say goodbye to Huo Xi.
"I have to go back."
"Yes. Come back. You have been in the capital for a long time."
"When I go back this time, I will mention our marriage to my family."
Huo Xi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
Gong Ziyi felt happy in his heart, looked around, took her hand and put it in his palm: "It's so cold." He took her little hand and put it to his mouth, breathing into his palm.
Huo Xi felt a warmth coming over her, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Is it warm?"
"Um."
Gong Ziyi rubbed her twice more, grabbed her hand and put it on her face, covering it with his own palm: "Is it warm?" His eyes were lingering.
"warm."
The face with four palms put together is small, only showing a pair of big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth.
How could this face be so small? He could cover it with both hands. Gong Ziyi only felt that this little face was pink and tender, with big eyes shining on the small face, and everything in the eyes belonged to him.
Shadow feels more and more happy.
"I can wait. Let's get engaged first." The person in front of him is still too young, so he can wait.
Huo Xi said nothing, only smiled and nodded.
The sound of servants' footsteps was heard. Gong Ziyi put down his hand like a frightened bird and took two steps away from Huo Xi.
Huo Xi only felt that when people in this era fall in love, they are like underground workers, and their faces turn red when they hold hands. Seeing him looking around, as if he had been caught doing bad things, she laughed.
"Just wait until the New Year is over and I'll propose marriage." Even in the Huo family, Gong Ziyi didn't want anyone to say bad things about her behind her back.
Huo Xi smiled and nodded.
Gong Ziyi left the capital amid the reluctance of the Huo family.
