Returning to this small village, it was understandable that I recalled the long-lost past, and asked Xiao Ling'er: "How is the third brother?"
Xiao Ling'er obviously trembled. Gardenia frowned and asked, "Xiao Ling'er, what happened?"
Sister-in-law Li didn't understand what happened between Xiaosan and Gardenia? She casually said, "It's been almost a year since Xiaolinger and Xiaosan got married."
"Sister-in-law Li——." After Xiao Ling'er called out, she didn't dare to look at Gardenia.
It turns out that Xiao Ling'er and the third brother got married. This is considered a good thing. She smiled and said: "Xiao Ling'er, there is nothing wrong. It is fate that you and the third brother can be together."
"Gardenia, don't you blame me?" Xiao Ling'er asked gently.
Gardenia smiled and said: "Blame you? Where do you start talking about this? Not only do I not blame you, but I also bless you."
Xiao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Gardenia."
From the subsequent chat with Xiao Ling'er, I learned that most of the villagers who lived here at the same time as Gardenia had moved away. Xiao Sanniang also passed away half a year ago. Gardenia thought of the person who annoyed her with broken shoes.
Woman, it seems like everything happened yesterday.
It has been a few days since I came back. I occasionally sit in the yard, look at the blue sky and white clouds, and feel the joy and melancholy of becoming a mother.
Ling Jijie really opened a school in the village. When he saw Gardenia, he was shocked. As a person of the same kind, he could understand Gardenia's thoughts at this time, but as a man, he also
Gardenia is not worth it.
In the evening, Gardenia walked alone on the path, looking at the winding path in a daze.
I still remember the first time they met by the stream. The arrogant and handsome face was so arrogant. What made them bond? Was it the wind blowing through the bamboo forest that day, or was it still gurgling?
A flowing stream?
It turns out that the ending between each other has long been doomed. The wind on that day has long since disappeared, and the stream that is still flowing has no idea where it is going. We are passing by here after all. Even if there are signs of stopping, as time goes by, it is just a dream——
The thought breaks my heart, and the memory breaks my heart.
That night, Gardenia gave birth to twins in a burst of heartbreaking pain.
On the same night, Ling Jiyun and others received the most critical news in the study.
"That's great, Jiyun, we can finally continue heading north and go straight to Aoran City." Feng Qing clenched his fists excitedly. After all, he had been planning for half his life and got the reward he deserved.
Ling Jiyun just raised the corner of his mouth lightly, as if everything was expected.
These days, he likes to be busy, but too many things will always be solved. When he is free, Gardenia's sad smile and sad eyes when saying goodbye keep repeating in his mind, torturing him time and time again.
.I accidentally heard the girl in the mansion say that the rice harvest is about to happen in my hometown. Gardenia, is it time to recycle the rice I planted? Has our child been born? Did you listen to me and wait for me to greet you safely?
The morning sun came quietly, and a faint ray of light pierced the thick morning fog, making the dew on the leaf tips as clear as pearls.
Gardenia got up early and finished washing herself. She stared tenderly at the two children who were sleeping soundly in the cradle, not wanting to disturb their sweet dreams.
Wei'er walked quietly to the cradle, gently took Luo Xi and Luo Xun's little hands, smiled and said to Gardenia: "My brother and sister are so cute."
Gardenia touched his head and said, "Weier was so cute even when he was this big."
Sister-in-law Li walked in with a slight reluctance on her face: "Gardenia, Master Ling is here."
"Let him come in." Gardenia said softly, knowing clearly the purpose of his coming.
Ling Jijie stepped into the threshold with a smile and sighed: "I heard you were leaving, so I came to see you off."
"Thank you." Gardenia smiled peacefully, as if everything in the past was no longer important.
He came here to tell him the news about Ling Jiyun. He went to see Ling Jiyun last night and got back something that he would never care about. He just hesitated how to talk to her, but seeing Gardenia
She didn't seem to care. Could she really forget Ling Jiyun completely?
Walking to the cradle and looking at the two lovely children, Ling Jijie's eyes softened: "Have you chosen a name?"
Wei'er suddenly said: "Wake up, wake up, my brother and sister are both awake." In fact, it was his brother who woke up, and he accidentally woke up his sister when he moved his hands.
The two children looked at three different smiles and neither cried nor fussed.
Gardenia picked up her son and said, "His name is Luo Xun, and my daughter's name is Luoxi."
Looking at Gardenia blankly, she still couldn't forget it. She stretched out her hand and said, "Can I hug Xun'er?"
Gardenia handed the child to Ling Jijie, and then picked up her daughter.
Ling Jijie gently held Luo Xun's little hand and said softly: "Xun'er, how about the Second Emperor's uncle give you a gift?" He took out half a piece of jade from his pocket and put it on Luo Xun's neck.
, then handed the other half to Gardenia and said, "This belongs to Xi'er."
Gardenia hesitated for a moment, but took it. Ling Jijie said: "These two jade pendants were originally one piece, but I didn't expect that you gave birth to twins, so they were broken into two halves, one piece for each person."
Gardenia kept smiling slightly. She saw that Ling Jijie had the same jade pendant on his waist. Why did he break it into two pieces?
"I have to leave, otherwise I won't be able to get back before dark." Gardenia said calmly with a faint smile.
"Zhi Niang, if you want to know the news about Ji Yun, I can tell you now." After thinking a lot, he still felt that it was time to tell him. He couldn't bear the pain of the woman in front of him.
Taking the bundle from Sister-in-law Li, a trace of sadness flashed in Gardenia's eyes. The name Ling Jiyun seemed to have nothing to do with her. She looked sadly at Ling Jijie, a man who resembled him in appearance but not in spirit, and said: "Ling Jiyun
Brother, if we meet again one day and Gardenia no longer remembers you, please don’t blame me."
Feeling uneasy, Ling Jijie looked seriously: "Gardenia, what are you going to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling'er walked in and said, "Gardenia, the carriage is here."
Gardenia carried the child and walked out. Ling Jijie looked at Luo Xun in his arms, full of reluctance and helplessness. "Xun'er, this is your father's jade pendant. Although he has never worn it, it is a royal jade pendant after all.
As proof of your descendants, the emperor will give you half a piece and half a piece to Xi'er. I hope you can keep it well."
"Master Ling——" Xiao Ling'er shouted loudly outside the house.
Ling Jijie walked out and handed Luo Xun to Gardenia who was sitting in the car. After saying "take care" to each other, the driver cracked his whip.
Ling Jiyun was standing in front of the marching map, concentrating, and his heart - a throbbing pain for no reason. He slumped on the stool, gasping for air as if he had experienced a battle, and clutching his chest. The pain seemed to be full of sadness and despair.
