As soon as I got off the stairs, I happened to meet Pei Yuanxiu. He seemed to have made a statement to the boss and was about to come up to pick me up, but when I saw that I came down by myself, I hurriedly came forward: "Are you better?"

I smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, don't keep hanging about it."

He also smiled: "My bride, how can I not hang up?"

"Slutty."

I smiled and shook my head. He looked at me, showed a happy smile, reached out to hold me, half-wrapping me, and turned around and walked out of the February Hong.

The boss was still standing at the gate to show him respectfully, and in front of him, the servant and the carriage he arranged had already parked opposite the street. I followed him and walked over. When I got in the car, I couldn't help but turn around and look at the third floor of the restaurant.

The figure was still standing by the window, but the sun was too bright, and I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. There was only a bright mask under the reflection of the sun, with a little cold light.

And in his hand, the jade ring seemed to be gently turning.

.

I didn't say anything along the way. Pei Yuanxiu just thought I was not feeling very comfortable, so he asked me to sit beside him, stretched out one hand to stroke my cheek and let me lean against his shoulder, and said softly: "Sleep for a while."

A smile appeared on my face, and I didn't say anything, but just closed my eyes gently.

But closing your eyes does not mean you can’t see anything. In the darkness, half of the mask and half of the face still emerged.

If I still have some doubts after Wangjiangting, now, I really believe it.

He forgot me.

Even if he sees the tenderness and love of Pei Yuanxiu, he will be subconsciously unhappy. Even if he knows that I have known him and I have been asking questions, he will really forget me.

Completely forgot.

I couldn't help but gently curled the corners of my lips.

God’s arrangement is really interesting. When I need someone to save the most, let him appear; when I completely give up on Pei Yuanhao, let me fall in love with him; when I struggle in the palace, let him enter the palace...

When Pei Yuanxiu was around me, he made him forget me.

Everything is like a play.

Compared to the original stage, Huang Tianba and Chang Qing raised their hands and every move, they were smoother and more natural. All the actions, lyrics, all the complexes, and all the endings were scripted. They had been arranged and could not be changed or returned.

This is my play with him.

In my life, his role has ended.

But what about in his own world? Where is he going? What kind of plays should he write?

Today in February Hong, the guests he invited were just in a hurry in the stairwell, but I had already seen that those people were not locals and had a wrong accent, but were from Zhoushan and Songjiang. Although they were wearing ordinary casual clothes and walking on the streets could easily be buried in the crowd, I saw that one of the people who bowed to him, the black brand tied around his waist was actually a black jade brand.

It can be seen vaguely that the jade plaque carved is Xuanwu.

In the Heavenly Kingdom, few people brought Xuanwu jewelry, but there was one type of person - people who were near the sea.

.

Time passed day by day.

Yangzhou is busy, and Jinling is busy.

Pei Yuanxiu and I have gotten closer and closer, and the people in the mansion are getting busier and busier. I can see the servants traveling up and down almost every day. Sometimes I don’t know what they are busy with, but seeing their hurrying looks, it’s hard to stop them and ask.

So, although everyone is busy with me, I am the most leisurely one.

During this period, I also heard that after the opening of the river, it was indeed convenient for the people on both sides of the Yangtze River. Everyone applauded and heard more news from Yangzhou after the communication.

It is said that Liu Qinghan's Qianshou Banquet has been sent, not only Yangzhou, but also a centenarian near the prefecture were invited by him, and he also sent someone to drive a carriage to invite the elderly. There were even two elderly people living in seclusion in the mountains. Liu Qinghan personally invited them, and now he is temporarily living in the official residence.

There are many rumors among the people, so naturally there are some who say good things and bad things, but most of them still praise him for respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous, being honest and dedicated to the public, and having the character of Lord Liu Shizhou and Lord Liu Yi.

And his move has indeed stabilized the people's hearts.

I listened to the sounds of the maids and servants talking outside the window, and smiled faintly, and continued to sit by the window, quietly embroidering flowers.

When I finally finished the last stitch, I raised my slightly sore neck and looked out. It was already noon.

The sky has become less good.

Layers of dark clouds gathered together, blocking the great morning sunshine. A gust of wind blew, rolling the leaves in the yard with rustling sounds.

Pei Yuanxiu came with the coolness of the wind.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw me sitting by the window, smiling, and saw the tension in my hand, and was stunned: "This is—"

I smiled, took the veil off from the strap and put it in my palm: "Does it look good?"

He didn't speak immediately, and identified it for a while before saying, "Is it the piece you embroidered before?"

"Yeah." I nodded with a smile.

When he was caught in Jixiang Village and was recuperating at my house, I took a break to embroider the handkerchief, but it was not finished at that time. Today I had time to embroider the last few maple leaves. The color was just right and the color was just right. I held it in my hand and looked at it, and I felt very gorgeous.

Pei Yuanxiu looked down for a while, but did not praise my craftsmanship as usual, but said calmly: "Why, embroider on coarse cloth?"

I looked up at him and smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't need it anyway."

"Then why embroider it?"

I smiled, but changed the subject: "By the way, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"I'll be ready to cross the river later."

He was stunned for a moment.

What I said was that I would be going to cross the river later, just tell him, not ask him. He was not moved, just sat next to me and said, "What's the matter?"

"Go and ask for something."

"What is that important? Can't you go there in a few days?"

I smiled and said, "It will be too late in a few days."

I said, and said softly: "Don't worry, you'll be back soon. You don't have to bring me many people, just ask Ping'er to accompany me."

He glanced at me, said nothing, was silent for a while, and said softly: "It's windy outside, remember to add a piece of clothing."

"Um."

.

It can be seen that he is not very willing to go out at this time. After all, it is the end of February. In another two or three days, it will be my wedding with him. At this time, there is nothing to do when crossing the river, and he will have to be in vain.

However, I had already spoken and he did not obstruct him anymore.

After a while, the carriage was already guarding outside the door. Ping'er stood by the carriage and carefully helped me get on the car. I sat down to the bed and lifted the curtains, and saw Pei Yuanxiu still standing at the door and said calmly: "Come back soon."

I nodded gently, and the carriage drove forward.

When he arrived at the dock, he changed the boat and was still the same boatman as before. It was safe and quiet. Ping'er stood by the bow of the boat. Seeing the river bank on the opposite side slowly approaching, he finally seemed to be unable to help but turn his head and look at me: "Aunt Qing, what are you going to do when you cross the river today?"

I looked ahead and didn't say anything. Ping'er looked at me for a long time and didn't speak anymore. But when the boat was about to dock, I suddenly murmured, "Ping'er, Aunt Qing will give you something."

He looked at me: "What?"

I pinched my hand and reached out, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

A red cloth wrapped in something heavy fell on his palm. Ping'er was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and was about to get it when she heard me say softly: "Wait until I leave before tearing it down."

"Why?"

I stared blankly ahead. At this time, the boat had slowly reached the pier. The hull shook for a moment, and I trembled, as if I had just woken up at this time. I turned my head and looked at him, and smiled faintly, "I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Ping'er looked at me in surprise.

As soon as the boat landed, I got on the pier by myself and asked Ping'er and the boatman to wait for me here. Originally, Ping'er wanted to accompany me into the city, but I refused.

I am not unfamiliar with this road by walking slowly into the city. Although the weather is not good, the people in Yangzhou seem to be in a good mood. The streets and alleys are still full of traffic and crowds. Perhaps because of the Qianshou Banquet, there are really many elderly people on the street. It seems that they don’t think that when I came to Yangzhou a year ago, although there was no war, everyone’s expression was shady and sunny. Now, it seems like the clouds breaking open, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

However, today's weather is not that good.

I slowly walked to the gate of February. When the boss saw me, he immediately came up: "Madam? Why is the lady here again today? We are ready to close the store tomorrow and we are going to cross the river to prepare for the wedding banquet for the wife and the young master."

I looked upstairs and said, "Take me to the third floor."

"Third Floor?" The boss looked at me and his voice subconsciously lowered: "Mr. Liu, he is on the third floor."

I smiled faintly: "I know, he comes to drink alone every day these days, right?"

The boss was shocked and didn't say anything for a moment.

"I have something to talk to him."

The boss looked at me again, said nothing, and just guided me carefully: "Please, madam."

I followed him upstairs, listening to the sound of footsteps echoing in the narrow stairwell. I never felt that my footsteps were so loud. Maybe it was because my footsteps were too heavy. When I walked up to the third floor, I gasped slightly and stood still while holding the wooden railing. I saw a man sitting by the huge window. The table in front of me was empty, with only a pot of wine and a glass.

Hearing my footsteps, he turned his head.

A look of surprise appeared on the half-intact face, while the mask on the other half-face looked like condensed ice.

It's as cool as it is.
