It was almost sunset, and everything in the Tang Mansion had been decorated. Bright red silk was hung all over the house, and it looked very festive.
The father and son of the Tang family chatted with Mr. Chen for a long time, talking about their encounters in previous years. The stories were laid out one after another, which made people feel emotional.
Time is the most impermanent, but if it is really unchanged, it will make people feel bored. It is not good to be short, and it is not good to be long. It is always contradictory.
The red clouds of sunset fell into the courtyard. Chen Changsheng had dinner at the Tang Mansion. In his spare time, Chen Changsheng was still thinking about how to speak.
But then Yunxiang said: "How about Yunxiang accompany Mr. for a walk in the lotus pond outside the workshop?"
The father and son of Tang Mansion looked at each other, and then Tang Mingjing said: "The lotus flowers are blooming very beautifully this year. It is a good time now. Mr. Chen is here and you can take a look at them more."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Tang Mingjing stayed at the house on the pretext of preparing for the wedding tomorrow, and did not forget to give Yun Xiang a look when he left.
Yunxiang pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
The maid did not follow, Yunxiang followed her husband out of the Tang Mansion and walked towards the outside of the house.
Ou Lian Fang is as peaceful and peaceful as ever.
Under that dusk and sunset, people on the street walked slowly, enjoying the most comfortable time of the day.
Yunxiang followed her husband. She looked at him from time to time, as if she wanted to say something, but she lacked the courage and could not say anything.
Chen Changsheng looked at the preserve shop on the street and said, "This shop is still open."
Yunxiang said: "It has been open for several years."
With that said, she walked towards the preserve store.
The person guarding the shop was a woman, accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Yunxiang smiled warmly and said, "Mother He, buy some candied fruits."
"Miss Yun is here."
Mrs. He from the preserve shop greeted her with a smile, and then asked, "What will Miss Yun eat today?"
"More melon sticks, feel free to take some others."
Yunxiang said and took out her money bag.
"Eh."
Mother He hurriedly stopped Miss Yun and said, "Miss Yun, you can't always be like this. You are the boss, so there is no reason why you have to pay for things you buy at home."
"Don't worry about it." Yun Xiang smiled warmly and said, "Just keep it."
He Niang knew that she couldn't defeat her, so she had to sigh and accepted the silver.
Yunxiang turned around with the candied fruit and came to the husband's side.
She handed the candied fruit wrapped in oil paper to her husband.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but said: "Chen has received all the candied fruits I sent earlier. If there are more, I won't be able to finish them all."
Yunxiang blinked and said, "But it's been so long, it must be broken."
Chen Changsheng said: "It can't be broken."
Yunxiang reacted. She was holding the bag of candied fruits, still thinking of giving them to her husband.
Chen Changsheng asked: "By the way, when did you become the owner of this shop?"
Yunxiang raised her head, "Sir, you heard me..."
"I just happened to hear it."
Yunxiang walked beside her husband and said: "After my husband left that year, He Niang, the owner of the shop, chose a good husband and planned to follow her husband to other places, so I took over the shop. Later, a war broke out, and He Niang
My husband was also conscripted into the army and never came back."
"When I could not return to my husband, life became more and more miserable, so I invited He Niang back to run the preserve shop, which is how it survives to this day."
Yun Xiang took out a piece of melon stick from the oil paper bag and handed it to her husband.
"Try it, sir. It still tastes the same as before."
Chen Changsheng took the melon stick, thought for a while and then put it in his mouth.
He vaguely remembered that he had never tasted these melon sticks back then, but it always felt familiar to him.
Maybe it's because of the old friend's presence.
Yunxiang murmured: "In the blink of an eye, He mother is now a wife and mother."
Along with her, she also grew up.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "Chen sometimes feels emotional, but at the same time he doesn't think it's true. You have all come through step by step in the past few years."
"Only Chen, like a dream, passed by in one piece."
Yunxiang seemed to have heard what the gentleman meant, but she still forced a smile and said: "Everything in the world confuses people's emotions. If you remember too many things, it will eventually turn into regrets. Maybe it is a good thing if you can remember less, sir."
Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "Maybe..."
The two walked out of Ou Lian Fang.
What you see is the lotus pond that connects to the sky, and the lotus flowers reflect the sun. Everything you see is the color of crimson jasper.
The two of them stood on the edge of the lotus pond, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.
Yunxiang said: "Yunxiang remembers that her husband said that this place is beautiful. At that time, she didn't ask her whether he thought it was the lotus flowers or the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond. He just planted more over the years."
Chen Changsheng's lips slightly opened after hearing this. He thought of the letter left in the jade pendant.
In a daze, he couldn't tell whether the thing in front of him was Yun Xiang or Bamboo Qi.
Chen Changsheng opened his mouth and said: "Chen's fate with the world is cut off immediately, and it cannot last forever. Sometimes, if he keeps thinking about it, there may not necessarily be any repercussions. Miss Yun should understand this truth."
After hearing this, Yunxiang lowered her eyes and looked at the lotus in the pond in front of her. She knelt down and reached out to touch it.
"Mr. said these words before."
Yunxiang said: "My husband said at that time that nine out of ten people in this world would find it difficult to get along with my husband. This is my destiny."
Chen Changsheng lowered his head to look at her and said, "Maybe there is not even a single point left."
Yunxiang shook her head, and the lotus in front of her swayed.
"When the flowers wither, you can see the canopy, when the lotus roots are withered, you can see the lotus roots, and when the lotus seeds fall into the water, there are four seasons again. The most beautiful time of this lotus pond is only in Sophora japonica."
Yunxiang stood up and said: "There is nothing perfect in this world, so why bother forcing it? Yunxiang knows very well in her heart that she cannot keep up with her husband."
"I just hope that when my husband has free time in the future, he can remember this lotus pond and occasionally come to see the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond at dusk. That is enough."
Yunxiang looked at her husband, waiting for his answer.
Chen Changsheng withdrew his gaze, and with a sigh, he asked: "Human life is extremely short, and some things are simply not worth it."
Even if you enter the Immortal Path of Immortality, you may not have a good result.
Yunxiang looked at him and said: "Sir, I don't think it's worth it, but in Yunxiang's opinion..."
"It's worth it."
Looking at her gaze, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned.
When he came, he had already thought of his words, but at this moment, he finally felt sympathy.
They all say fate is destined, but is this fate really destined?
Sometimes Chen Changsheng also felt that his encounter with Yun Xiang was not accidental.
The words "fate" were said to be wonderful, but Chen Changsheng felt in a daze that these two words were really harmful.
He looked at the pond full of lotus flowers and said.
"Whenever I have free time, Chen will often come here."
