Shi Ningyue slowly stood up and sighed softly: "Master Fang, Ningyue must apologize to you. I'm afraid that Sister Ruomei's departure is related to some of the things I said to her at the beginning. Now that it has happened, I

I won’t hide it from you either.”

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "What did you say to her?"

Shi Ningyue held on to the boat awning, looked at the red boats and green willows on the lake in the distance, and said softly: "Master, do you still remember what I asked you after I learned that Sister Ruomei left when you lived in my house in August last year?

"

Fang Zian frowned and thought for a while and said, "You and I have talked a lot, how do I know which sentence it is."

Shi Ningyue said softly: "When you told me about Sister Ruomei leaving Lin'an, I asked you if it was Sister Ruomei who annoyed me. Do you still remember?"

Fang Zian suddenly remembered this matter. Shi Ningyue did say this that day, saying that Ruomei didn't come to say goodbye to her, so she was annoyed. He was also a little confused at the time, because Zhang Ruomei left without telling Shi Ning.

Yue, this is indeed a bit strange. And when Shi Ningyue learned that Zhang Ruomei left, she was actually worried that Ruomei had annoyed her, which was even more strange. Something seemed to have happened between the two of them. But at the time, this doubt was just

Flash forward, that day I was enjoying the moon together with Shi Hao and his wife, so I didn’t think much about it. Now it seems that there really is something else going on.

"...When Sister Ruomei stayed at my house for a few days, we reunited after a long separation and talked about everything. One day we talked about you. I didn't know that you had a close relationship with her at the time. I only knew that you saved her and stayed with her.

She was hiding at home. You know, I like poetry, and I have admired you for a long time after reading your lyrics. I am not afraid of being ashamed. After seeing you in person that day, especially after talking about it at the banquet, Ningyue

I fell in love with the young master in my heart. So after the young master left, I did not hide my affection for you in front of sister Ruomei. Every time we talked about you, I was afraid that it was too obvious. But I swear to God, I

I really don’t know what kind of relationship you have with Sister Ruomei.” Shi Ningyue softly described the situation at that time, her face flushed with the healthy blush of a girl. She didn’t know whether it was excitement or shyness.

Fang Zian didn't know what to say, so he just stood quietly on the bow of the boat and listened to Shi Ningyue continue.

Shi Ningyue's thoughts flew to the days when Zhang Ruomei and herself reunited. To be honest, the two were young playmates, so the reunion was joyful. But in just a few days, Shi Ningyue also felt the difference between the two.

There are many barriers. For example, she likes reading, writing poetry, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Zhang Ruomei doesn't understand any of them and doesn't like them at all. When she tries to talk to her about these things, Zhang Ruomei always looks dumbfounded and confused.

This made the two of them have very few topics to talk about when they reunited. Apart from reminiscing about their childhood, the only topic they could talk about together was Fang Zian.

I did say a lot about my feelings about Fang Zian, but because I didn’t connect Zhang Ruomei and Fang Zian at all, I expressed my love for Fang Zian a little unscrupulously. In my opinion, Fang Zian is a scholar.

There is no way that a scholar who writes such exquisite lyrics would have any quarrel with Zhang Ruomei, who has no interest in poetry. They are people from two different worlds, and they are completely unrelated.

On the day Zhang Ruomei was about to leave, when the two of them were walking in the garden to say goodbye, the topic came back to Fang Zian. Of course, Shi Ningyue clearly remembered the conversation that day.

Allow.

"Ningyue, do you think Mr. Fang will pass the imperial examination this time?"

"Of course, Sister Ruomei, Mr. Fang is bound to win. I have absolute confidence in him. He is so talented. If he doesn't win, wouldn't it mean that the court is blind? If nothing happens, Mr. Fang will definitely win, and he will win in the future.

The future is bright.”

"Are you so confident in him? I don't know much about studying, but when you say this, I feel relieved. I also hope that he can go to high school and become an official so that he can fight against that old thief Qin Hui. Why?

My father, Marshal Yue and others who were killed by the old thief took revenge."

"Sister Ruomei, revenge must be avenged, but you must not use this matter to put pressure on Young Master Fang. That will be extremely detrimental to Young Master Fang. If Young Master Fang goes against Qin Hui, he will be in danger at every step, so be careful at every step.

Yes. And he needs a lot of help. Even if he becomes an official, it will be very difficult if there is no one in the court to support him. If he is caught by the old thief Qin Hui, he will end up miserable. Therefore, Sister Ruomei must not

Force him."

"……you're right."

"Also, Sister Ruomei, you must not reveal your identity. It is actually very dangerous for you to hide in Mr. Fang's home. If your identity is revealed, Mr. Fang will have no future. Harboring the criminal who assassinated the prime minister will be enough to destroy him.

.So Sister Ruomei, why don't you move to my house permanently? My house is safe and Qin Hui doesn't dare to do anything to my father. The emperor respects my father very much. And in that case, you and I can be together every day. I can

Teach you to read, write, write poems and lyrics. Wouldn’t it be great if you could teach me to practice martial arts?”

"..."

"Sister Ruomei, please think about it, it will be good for both you and Young Master Fang. I also plan to tell my father to ask him to take more care of Young Master Fang. If my father can teach him from time to time, he will be more successful in the future. My father is very good.

I admire him, I like him too, if...if...oh...Sister Ruomei, am I a little shameless? I just think about some things, you won't laugh at me, right?"

"...You are not imagining...what you said makes sense."

"...Actually, Sister Ruomei, I just think that Mr. Fang and I have the same minds, and we will definitely get along well. Sister Ruomei, if you don't like poetry, you don't understand. People who like poetry have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

For example, Mr. Fang wrote a poem, but no one could appreciate the meaning of his words. It was very painful for him. This is just like the person who plays the music needs to have a close friend, someone who understands him.

It is such a happy thing when people are together. Otherwise, it is a kind of pain and suffering. In the future, you will come to live in my house and I will teach you to read, calligraphy and poetry, and then you will understand."

"...I...understand...Ningyue, if you can marry Mr. Fang, you will be a happy couple of gods and gods. Moreover, your father can legitimately support and teach Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang's future needs

These are helping...rather than...causing him trouble...You will definitely take good care of Mr. Fang. It can be seen that you really like him."

…

On the bow of the awning boat, Shi Ningyue recounted the conversation that day to Fang Zian, word for word. She turned her head, looked at the frowning Fang Zian, and said softly: "Mr. Fang, I think about it afterwards.

, I realized that what I said at that time was a blow to Sister Ruomei. But at that time, I

But I didn’t understand it at all. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I was too slow. If there was no love between you and Sister Ruomei, how could you live under the same roof? I was too stupid. If I had known earlier

I would never say those words. I think Sister Ruomei must have misunderstood me. I have been looking for opportunities to explain to her, but I didn’t expect that she left suddenly. After getting the news of her departure, my first

My first reaction was that she was annoyed with me. I have never had the courage to confess this to you. I was afraid that you would think that I did it on purpose. Now that I have spoken out, I feel at ease. If you are angry with me, please scold me.

, even if you hit me, it’s all my fault.”

Fang Zian stared blankly at Shi Ningyue's pretty face so close to him, not knowing what to feel in his heart. How could he beat and scold Shi Ningyue? Shi Ningyue had done nothing wrong. Shi Ningyue's growth environment was different from Ruomei's.

Completely different. Although he experienced some upheavals in his childhood, he generally lived a comfortable life. Shi Hao was gentle and knowledgeable, and regarded Shi Ningyue as the apple of his eye. Mrs. Shi was also a gentle and kind person. Shi Ningyue grew up in this environment.

Pure and simple, gentle and sentimental, it is a delicate flower that does not know the cruelty of the wind and rain in the world.

Fang Zian believed that such Shi Ningyue would not have any scheming to deliberately say those words. She just met her childhood good sister, and talked to her about everything, sharing her secrets. She also

Simply put, the relationship between men and women is based on mutual appreciation. It does not rule out that she really thinks that Ruomei is not suitable for herself, and Ruomei's identity is also embarrassing, so she does not connect Ruomei with herself at all.

.Those words were all from her heart. She said them as soon as she thought of them. There was nothing else. How could she blame her? Besides, she liked herself and used great courage to confess to herself. This was actually very unfair to her.

It's easy. How could I trample on her true feelings?

On the other hand, it was Zhang Ruomei. Her decision to leave was actually a sign that her love was not firm enough. Her starting point may have been for her own sake, and in her opinion, it may have been a generous exit, but in fact, it was not selfish.

Decision. Of course, Fang Zian cannot blame Zhang Ruomei. He can completely understand the entanglement in Zhang Ruomei's heart. Leaving him is also a difficult choice for her. Asking what love is in the world, who can explain it clearly?

, the reason is clear.

"Ningyue, you are right, Ruomei is also right. You are all good to me, how can I, Fang Zian, let you treat me like this? It is me who is wrong. Now that the matter is over, Ruomei has already gone to the Taihang Mountains

, that is also something that cannot be done. I will be able to explain it clearly when I have the opportunity in the future. Thank you for telling me all this today. I think this matter ends here and no one of us needs to mention it anymore." Fang Zian sighed and said.

.

Shi Ningyue bowed and said softly: "Thank you for not caring about this matter. But do you still have to wait for sister Ruomei to come back? Otherwise, I will write a letter to explain the matter and ask her to come back as soon as possible?"

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "She is in the mountains, how can she receive your letter? She can send someone to deliver the letter across the river to Lin'an. But we can't contact her. Don't you understand? She

In fact, it's not a misunderstanding about you, it's her choice to leave me. She has always had her own opinion. If she wants to come back, she will come back one day. Don't bother her."
