The place of
love Zhong
Changxiang recalled: After Princess Chang was reborn, she was engaged in her career
(this life).
When Jaffe appeared at the gate of the small courtyard, Sheng Yunlin was still holding a memorial to the throne, and he was still bleary-eyed.
Mrs. Xuan did not seem surprised. “Are you all done?” She asked softly.
“Yes.” Jaffe nodded.
“As it happens, we’ve finished talking, so you can send San-niang back to her guest room.” Mrs. Hsuan said, “I think you have something to talk about, too.”
“As my mother said, I have a difficult case to investigate when I return to Beijing this time.” “This case involves a lot of things, and I hope my mother will take good care of the family.”
Mrs. Hsuan nodded: “If necessary, I will take the whole family back to our hometown to worship our ancestors.”
Sheng Yun-lin put back the fold and solemnly saluted: “I’m really sorry that I’ve caused the first lady a lot of trouble.”
She knew that Mrs. Xuan was not an ordinary person, and by simple speculation, she knew that what they had done was no small matter. But Mrs. Xuan did not even ask a question, but silently sat in the rear.
Mrs. Hsuan held up Sheng Yun-lin: “From now on we are all one family, and naturally we have to advance and retreat together.”
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Xuan, Jaffe took Sheng Yunlin to the backyard. The
two of them walked side by side between the corridors of the back garden. In the summer night, insects chirp, the night wind is warm and intoxicating, and the bright moon hangs in the air, dotted with stars. “Cheng Ling and his grandfather have been here for a few days,” said
Xie Fei. “Xuan He has arranged for them to stay in the inn of Jingzhaoyin Mansion. They haven’t disturbed anyone yet.” Xuan He is Xie Jue’s character.
“When are you going to beat the drum?”
“After all the evidence has been collected and backed up.” Jaffe said, “It’s not appropriate to act rashly on this matter. Xuanhe has arranged for someone to record a complete confession for Cheng Ling, and also mentioned how he should say when he sued the emperor.”. Lord Hu Cheng-yung has also been invited. He was the former Jiangnan weaver Wailang, and can confirm Cheng Ling’s identity.
“Your cousin is meticulous in his work. No wonder he was promoted so quickly.” Sheng Yunlin said, “That child Cheng Ling..” Is it convenient for me to go and see him?
“Yes.” Jaffe nodded. “You don’t trust him, do you?”
“When I first asked him to go to the capital to beat the drum and cry out for injustice, I had no idea that he would be involved in a rebellion later.” Sheng Yun-lin sighed, “I feel very sorry for letting this child fall into an extremely dangerous situation.”
“He will be safe.”
“I hope so.”
The two of them were silent for a while, and soon arrived at the residence arranged by the Xie family for Sheng Yunlin.
Jaffe pointed to the path and direction and said, “This guest room is behind my bedroom. You can find me by following this path tomorrow.”
“Good.”
“Then I’ll go back first, and you can rest early.”
Say, Jaffe was about to leave, but in the next second heard the voice of Sheng Yunlin.
「…… Jaffe.
Jaffe stopped and looked at her. The
cold moonlight was reflected in his eyes. The things
you keep in that little yard.. I’ve seen it all.
「…… Uh
I.. I have a question for you. Sheng Yunlin is a little angry.
“You ask.” Jaffe said.
His eyes are very calm, but let Sheng Yunlin some at a loss.
But she plucked up her courage and asked, “If I had found you in the secluded courtyard and asked you to help me, would you have said yes?”
“Yes.” Jaffe said without hesitation.
“Don’t be so quick.” Sheng Yun-lin felt a little helpless. “I mean, I’ll ask you to help me rebel. Do you understand?”
“I know.” Jaffe’s expression did not change. “The answer is the same.”
Sheng Yunlin was stupefied.
「…… Why? She was puzzled.
Such an answer, by rights, would not have appeared in the mouth of the Jaffe she knew. Jaffe,
whom she knew, should be a good minister who opened peace for everything, and would not do anything that did not conform to the morality of the world for one person, whether it was rebellion or revenge.
But Jaffe looked at her steadily, his eyes clear.
It was a long time before he said, “When Chen Yan was in office, I thought I was worthy of my official position, of the world, and of my conscience..” But I’m only sorry for you.
I once said that I would not let you lose.
“In those six years, it was I who broke my promise.”
Sheng Yunlin listened quietly, but his eyes were in a trance.
“Long memories.” Cried Jaffe.
Since her title was changed to Zhenguo, only Jaffe would call her that. Just like it was many years ago.
He looked at her so solemnly as if he were swearing,
“Believe it or not, you are the only person I have ever been loyal to.”
“I believe!” Sheng Yunlin suddenly raised his voice. She pounced and hugged Jaffe tightly.
Jaffe was stunned by her sudden action and froze there, but Sheng Yunlin encircled him harder, stood on tiptoe, put his chin on his shoulder, and hurriedly said in his ear, “I’ve never disbelieved you!”! I believe it all! I was just.. I just.. I just don’t believe in myself.
Finally said, those who do not want to admit, absurd self-esteem. She was so self-respecting and self-abased
when she finally returned from the secluded courtyard.
Everyone said that she was ruthless and would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. These comments filled her ears, so that she simply did not believe that such a self, but also worthy of Jaffe to respect, to serve.
She was afraid that if she expected more, she would only get rejection and ridicule in the end.
Mingming, she would write such a long comment to him;
Mingming, when she couldn’t make up her mind, she would always ask his opinion;
Mingming, she would give him what she thought was important to do, because only in this way could she rest assured.
Obviously she cares so much about his thoughts, so she needs his affirmation, so. Like him so much.
The next second, Sheng Yunlin’s waist was buckled with a pair of powerful arms.
Jaffe hugged her back so hard that she felt some pain, but still hugged each other tightly.
She could feel Jaffe’s breath around her neck, her two hearts beating faster and faster, and the burning emotions that were about to burst out.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” She closed her eyes and rubbed the side of his face. “I was too slow to notice earlier.” I should have found out long ago.
Jaffe, you are so good to me, but I always deceive myself and others.
I like you so much, but I’m still deceiving myself and others. If I
don’t dare to talk to you too much, I’ll go all out to criticize you. It’s clear that letting Miss Zuo into the palace is because of jealousy. I always call you to the Weiyang Palace to discuss the matter. In fact, I want to see you at all. I admit it. I just like you, and I can’t live without you. In my previous life or in this life, I can’t do without you at all.
She said so much in one breath, in fact, she just found out.
She really regrets it. Why didn’t you find out earlier? Why didn’t you say it earlier? How can you be so dull?
「…… It doesn’t matter. But Jaffe said so to her.
He closed his eyes and hugged Sheng Yunlin again. “You’re still here, more important than anything else.”. I really can’t accept losing you for the third time.
She was in his arms, her eyes burning slightly.
Tears overflowed and fell on Jaffe’s shoulder.
“Thank you, Lord.” Her voice is a little hoarse.
“Mmm.” He responded.
“Jaffe.” She shouted again.
“I’m here.” He touched her long hair.
“Ying Zhan.” This is the first time Sheng Yun-lin has called out his name directly: “Hsieh Ying-chien.”
「…… What’s wrong?
Sheng Yunlin finally released Jaffe. She pressed his shoulder and looked at him, with tears on her face, but her eyes were bright.
“Nothing. I just want to call your name.”
And don’t want you to go.
“I’m suddenly a little depressed.” Sheng Yun-lin said, “I’ve been outside for so long, and we’ve been together every day, but I haven’t noticed..” Now that I’m back, I can’t stay with you.
Jaffe looked at her silently for a moment and then suddenly asked, “When do you want to get married?”
“Eh?” Sheng Yun-lin was slightly stupefied. “Any time,” he said with a smile through his tears, “the sooner the better.”
“Good.” Jaffe’s voice was very solemn.
Sheng Yunlin looked at Jaffe’s eyes, which were full of reflections in her very serious pupils, all of which were her own shadows. For the first time in
so many years, Sheng Yunlin looked forward to his wedding ceremony.
Sheng Yunlin had his first dream since his rebirth. In the
dream, she was still fourteen years old. At the Zhuangyuan banquet, she climbed over the wall, but did not fall from the top of the wall. She was picked up by the 17-year-old Zhuangyuan Lang.
After that, my uncle wrote down the imperial edict of marriage. After she
died, she was sent to the princess’s mansion, wearing a bright red wedding dress and ten miles of red makeup. It was the young man who was not very talkative but always good to her who
lifted her veil.
…… For the first time,
Sheng Yunlin was not haunted by nightmares, but slept soundly. When
I woke up, perhaps the only regret was that I didn’t see Jaffe’s side face when I opened my eyes.
Early in the morning, Sheng Yunlin cleaned up, and then followed the two brothers Xie Fei and Xie Jue to Jingzhao Mansion. Cheng Ling and his grandfather lived together in the inn next to the
government office. After nearly two months of separation, when he saw Cheng Ling again, he seemed to have grown taller, and his face and body were tanned a lot. Xie Jue treats them well, Cheng Ling is tidied up very fresh, no longer have the shadow of the original little beggar. As soon as
he saw Sheng Yunlin, he wanted to kneel down and bow down. Sheng Yunlin quickly held him up and said with a smile, “What did I say? If there is fate, we will naturally meet again. This is not a meeting.” “I know that my sister sent someone to protect us all the way to the capital,” said
Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling is grateful for her sister’s great kindness! “It doesn’t matter,” said
Sheng Yunlin. “Just have a safe journey.”. The days ahead will be more dangerous, and you have to be prepared. Did the Lord Prefect tell you? It was only later that we learned that your family was involved in a wide range of things.
“I already know.” Cheng Ling clenched his fist secretly.
“Are you afraid?”
“Don’t be afraid!” He shook his head firmly. The last time
she asked Cheng Ling, Cheng Ling also said that she was not afraid. Although it may be that the ignorant are fearless, she does not want to live up to Cheng Ling’s trust.
She took out several land deeds and land deeds.
Your family’s house and land have all been confiscated, and the Jiangning government office has already sold them off one after another. There was an accident in your house, and no one bought it, so I bought it. I also bought all the farms that I could find. As for the shops, because they needed someone to run them, I didn’t make any decisions on my own. When your family was rehabilitated in the future, I asked the emperor for a favor.
Cheng Ling stared at the deeds and was stunned for a long time. The
deed was all in his name, and Sheng Yunlin should have done it.
This thing.. Will the emperor know?
“Yes.” Sheng Yun-lin nodded solemnly, “So I say, this is a serious case.”
“Did my sister spend a lot of money on these things?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Sheng Yun-lin touched the top of his head and said, “These ancestral properties are all yours. After your family is rehabilitated, according to the law, the court should also compensate you. It’s just that these farms are already in circulation, and nine times out of ten it’s silver that compensates you. So I bought them back for you in advance, so as not to be occupied by others.”. When the court has paid you the money, you can pay me back.
“Good.” Cheng Ling said earnestly, “I’ll definitely give it all back to my sister.”. If it’s not enough, I’ll pay it back when I grow up.
“Then I’ll wait.” Sheng Yunlin smiled.
But the money to buy these houses and farms was originally from Jia Cheng, and Sheng Yunlin shared half of it, and now there is still a lot left. So she just found an excuse to prevaricate Cheng Ling, and did not intend to really want Cheng Ling’s money.
It was the precious jade handed down from the ancestors of the Cheng family. Although I didn’t know whether it was really He Shi Bi or not, I’m afraid it was already in the hands of the King of Liang of the State of Qi. She still had to ask for it back and return it.
Her hand could not reach as far as Qi, but she could easily do it without a trace of the wind. The next time she saw Feng Wuheng, she had to think about how to persuade Feng Wuheng to get the jade back for her.
Sheng Yunlin also told Cheng Ling some things, nothing more than to listen to the words of the prefect, every word and deed should pay attention to, behind may suffer some hardships, but it will be all right to survive, she will protect him as much as possible. After
seeing Cheng Ling, Sheng Yunlin left the inn with Xie Fei and Xie Jue.
Hsieh Chueh sighed, “I never thought my little sister-in-law would turn out to be such a kind person.”
He took the initiative to simplify “future sister-in-law” into “sister-in-law,” and Jaffe did not object. Come to think of it, Hsieh Chueh has been at home for a long time without any rules and regulations, no big or small.
Sheng Yun-lin said with a smile, “I never thought there would be such an interesting person in the Hsieh family as the prefect.” Sheng Yunlin thought it was funny to
think that Xie Fei, who had good conduct, few words and self-discipline, was the son of Mrs. Xuan, while Xie Jue, who had a peach blossom face, a smile at all times, and was used to making jokes, was the son of Mrs. Qin.
If they were not two years apart, Sheng Yunlin would really wonder if they had made a mistake.
Hsieh Jue sighed, “My father used to think I was too freakish, and that I could say whatever I wanted. If I went back to Beijing, I’m afraid it would be easy to offend the eldest princess in the court, so he let me stay outside.”
Jaffe was about to speak, but was blocked by Sheng Yunlin.
“Why did you offend her?” She asked. Still unaware of this
, Hsieh Chueh went on to exclaim, “To accompany you is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention a Tigress like Your Royal Highness. How fierce she is!”? If you’re not careful, you’ll be beheaded.
「……」 Sheng Yun-lin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, “I think Jaffe was a good companion for you in those days.”
“My brother doesn’t like to talk, so naturally it’s hard to say the wrong thing.” Hsieh Chueh said with a straight face, “It’s not like me, who talks a lot and makes a lot of mistakes.”
Sheng Yun-lin nodded. “The prefect is quite self-aware.”
Hsieh Chueh: “That is.”
Jaffe: “..” “Actually,” said
Sheng Yun-lin, “the Sheng family in Yunnan is rich in tigers. I don’t think the prefect should ask the young man to marry the daughter of the Sheng family.”
Hsieh Chueh:.. Ah
Xie Fei threw Xie Jue a look of “asking for more luck.”.
Sheng Yun-lin changed the subject: “It’s better to go to the palace and inform the emperor in private about the affairs of the Cheng family.”
“Has the emperor returned?” Xie Fei asked Xie Jue. “I’m back,”
said Hsieh Chueh.
“All right, we’ll enter the palace at once.”
Seeing that they were ready to leave at once, Sheng Yunlin exhorted, “And you’d better advise the emperor to let the Ministry of Punishment preside over this case.”
“I have the same idea.” Xie Jue nodded. The Ministry of
punishment is in charge of the national serious cases, but this case involves the court officials, behind will inevitably involve Huo Xuancheng, to the Dali Temple to try is also normal. However, the current Dali temple minister is Huo Xuancheng henchmen, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment holds a neutral attitude, the Xie family was recognized as an imperial party as early as when Sheng Yunlin was in power, plus Jingzhao Yin Fu kept a confession here for a rainy day, so now the Ministry of Punishment is the most suitable to do this. She
understood everything, but Hsieh Chueh still couldn’t help asking, “But, sister-in-law, how come you know so much about what’s going on in Beijing?” Just as
Sheng Yun-lin was about to make up an explanation, Hsieh Chueh asked herself, “Oh, my brother must have told you that.”
Sheng Yunlin: “… …”
Forget it. It’s good for him to be consistent.
So the two sides split up, Xie Fei and Xie Jue into the palace, Sheng Yunlin, accompanied by the steward of Xie Fu, went to buy a house.
Sheng Yunlin always moves very fast, one day to see down, in the evening when it was finalized, the next day he went to the government to change the deed.
The house is located in the West Street of the capital, and its name is quite elegant. It is called “Che Garden.” Like the Hsieh Mansion, the garden has introduced living water and raised many flowers and plants, which shows that the original owner has always taken good care of it. The most important thing is that you can move in directly, which makes Sheng Yunlin quite satisfied.
However, the original owner did not expect that the young lady who looked at the house was so straightforward that she made a decision on the spot and paid it off in a lump sum. She was also very surprised. The rumor of high rollers coming to Beijing spread like wildfire, and on the same day, the story of Sheng Yunlin spending thousands of yuan spread.
Mrs. Xuan originally thought that it would take ten days and a half months for Sheng Yunlin to buy a house and move, but she didn’t expect her to be so vigorous. But what
Sheng Yunlin calculated was that in Xie’s house, she was a guest, and when she was a guest, she was always a little uncomfortable. Even if she hugged Xie Fei, she felt like a thief. It’s better to move out early.
When it was time for the palace door to be locked, Xie Fei and Xie Jue came back from the palace.
Jaffe brought back two messages.
One is: Chen Yu is going to take advantage of this to launch an attack and uproot the Huo family.
When he visited the south of the Yangtze River incognito, he wanted to confirm the power of the Huo family in the south, but Huo had to follow him, so he had a lot of inconvenience. However, he confirmed that apart from the Jiangning area, the Huo family did not touch other places. Now there is the matter of the orphan of the Cheng family going to the capital to complain, which can be used by him.
Jaffe reported that Huo Xuancheng wanted to rebel, and Chen Yu was furious.
The other is: Ying Wei came to report that Liang Wang’s side had suspended the action.
Liang Wang and Huo Xuancheng seemed to believe that night eavesdropping on their conversation is the wind without trace, now Liang Wang felt that his cooperation with Huo Xuancheng has been perceived by the seventeen princes, slightly uneasy. After all, as a prince, he took the initiative to catch up with the enemy prime minister, but did not tell the emperor of Qi, once discovered, that is bad.
Liang Wang this action disrupted Huo Xuancheng’s rebellion rhythm, now Huo Xuancheng is anxious to think of a way, just for them to buy time. “That’s good news,” said
Sheng Yun-lin.
Today in the palace, Chen Yu’s idea and Sheng Yunlin are almost no different, even the train of thought is the same. Jaffe knows that they grew up together, and even Chen Yu can be said to have accepted the “teachings” of Sheng Yunlin for many years, but that kind of coincidence. It’s just. It’s no use
thinking too much, but it’s not worth worrying about.
Even so, he said, “The emperor asked about you.”
“Me?” Sheng Yun-lin was slightly stupefied. “What did he ask?”
“He asked if you were in the capital, and I said yes.” “I also told him that we would be married soon,” he added after a pause.
「…… How did he reply?
“He said that since he was his sister’s cousin, it was also his sister, and naturally he had to put on makeup, which was also an apology for the previous offense in Jiangning.” “Well,” said
Sheng Yun-lin, “it seems he didn’t recognize me. It’s all right.”
“Are you sad?” Asked Jaffe.
Sheng Yun-lin shook his head. “You’re not a child anymore.”
Chen Yu did not recognize her, she clearly should be glad is, what is there to be sad about?
The next day, Sheng Yunlin moved to Che yuan. And Xie Fu, under the control of Mrs. Xuan, began to prepare for a marriage. Only then did the capital realize that the one who had spent thousands of yuan to buy Che yuan was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family in Yunnan, and that she had been promised to the Xie family.
It was even said that Xie Yingzhan had just returned to Beijing and entered the palace, and the emperor left him talking until very late. I’m afraid the emperor re-used Lord Xie, that is, the matter of these two days. The Xie family is going to have double happiness.
All of a sudden, the threshold of Xie Fu was broken by the people who came to congratulate him.
But more surprising things are yet to come. As soon as
Sheng Yunlin had set up a maid and a steward for Che yuan, the palace sent someone over. The boy who reported it was bought from outside. He had never seen such a battle. He was so frightened that he went straight to the inner courtyard to report to Sheng Yunlin. He fell down in front of the door.
Chen Yu really came to “add makeup” to her. Huang Xi,
the big eunuch, personally brought dozens of boxes of dowry. With an obsequious smile on his face, Huang Xi piled his wrinkles together and said to Sheng Yunlin, “Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to buy this according to the specifications of the princess.” “Although this is the first time the old slave has seen Miss Sheng,” he
added, “he feels very cordial. The girl really looks like Her Royal Highness. No wonder Your Majesty values your marriage to Lord Taifu so much.
Sheng Yun-lin thought to himself that when Huang Hsi saw her, not to mention how careful he was, he was afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. Where did the “kindness” come from? Now I’m laughing like this. According to the rules,
Sheng Yunlin thanked the emperor for his kindness and asked the steward of Che yuan to seal a hundred taels of silver to Huang Xi.
Huang Xi said, “Lord Taifu,” which meant that Jaffe was really going to return to the court.
This is not a question of whether to re-enable or not. According to Sheng Yunlin’s understanding of these two people, Chen Yu is afraid to invite Jaffe to come back has been invited countless times, this matter completely depends on Jaffe is not happy. And now, Jaffe is probably relenting. After
seeing off Huang Xi, Sheng Yunlin sent a servant to count Chen Yu’s dowry for her.
In the past, the Ministry of Rites worried about her marriage, and she felt very headache just listening to the details reported to her by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Now she had to do all the troubles herself, and she felt even more headache. You should know that the daughters of ordinary big families have been buying dowries since they were very young, a little more decent, but even the longevity materials are ready, as complete as possible.
Now the wedding date is set for next month, so that Sheng Yunlin can prepare in a month what others have done in more than ten years, she instinctively does not want to face it.
Originally, I wanted to say that I could do it casually, but Mrs. Xuan was already preparing for it in full swing, and it seemed very inappropriate for her not to do a good job here.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu got it all done for her in one breath-or the handwriting of the Ministry of Rites, very complete, very appropriate, just to avoid the trouble of Sheng Yunlin’s temporary purchase. All she had to do was set up some Grange or something, and she’d be all set.
In this compartment, the boys are counting the dowry, the steward is following the gift list to the number, which is full of rare treasures, a group of people’s eyes are almost straight.
“Miss, that’s a big face!” The steward sighed, “I’ve never seen so many wonderful things in my life. It’s really royal!”
“Is it?” It doesn’t matter, says Sheng Yun-lin. “It’s just the size of a princess. It’s nothing.”
“What are the specifications of the princess?”
Sheng Yun-lin said, “Oh.”. When
she married as a princess, because she married for the country, the ritual system exceeded the rank of an ordinary princess, and the dowry could be carried from one end of the palace to the other; when she married as a long princess, it exceeded the specifications of the queen, but at that time it was to praise and kill Lu Zhiyuan, and the situation was special.
“I don’t know what a princess is.” “There must be more stuff than here anyway,” she said sincerely.
But she is much happier now than she was then.
“Hurry up and count it. I have to go out in the evening.” Sheng Yunlin said.
Tonight, there is a lantern festival in the West Street of the capital, and Jaffe is going to take her out for a stroll. Sheng Yunlin had been looking forward to it all day, but now she was tired of ordering the dowry. The process of
counting the dowry is boring. It was dark outside until the last box was ordered. “It’s strange,” said
the steward suddenly. “Why is it 65?”
Generally speaking, sixty-four lifts are called a whole lift, and the number of sixty-four lifts is also on the gift list. But the palace sent, but more than a lift. Look carefully
again, the appearance of the 65th lifting box is somewhat different from the rest, and it doesn’t look like a set.
Sheng Yunlin suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and even had a strange premonition.
“Open it and see.” She said.
The boy opened the box. The last box was full of things she was familiar with and loved in the palace. The dressing box she had used for many years, the red gold rose she liked, the jade vase she used to arrange flowers on the windowsill, and even her usual lake pen and emblem ink. On
the dressing box made of sandalwood, there were traces of burning. I think it was rescued from the Weiyang Palace fire.
No, these should all be.
The fire was too big, and there should not be much to grab.
Sheng Yunlin’s eyelashes moved slightly.
Yeah, how could he not recognize her?
They have been together for so long.
Sheng Yun-lin was silent for quite a while. Then he lowered his eyes and said, “Now that we’ve finished, we’ll put it away.”
The moon is on the top of the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk.
When Jaffe arrived at Che yuan, Sheng Yunlin was changing into a light pink skirt, combing it, simply fixing it with a white jade hairpin, and lighting a flower between his forehead. This dress is very small, she has never tried since she became a long princess, and now this look is just right. Turning around in
front of the mirror, Sheng Yunlin’s mood became much better.
When Jaffe entered the room, he happened to see this scene. “So happy?” He said with a slight smile.
“Of course.” Sheng Yun-lin said without hesitation, “I’ve been so busy these past two days that it’s not easy to go out with you. Of course I’m happy.” Naturally,
she went up and took Jaffe’s hand.
Ten fingers clasped.
Those prosperous past, like the cold moon in the sky, is not worth mentioning at all compared with the warm touch from the palm of the hand now. It doesn’t matter to her
what power or what desire. From the end of revenge and the moment Chen Yu ascended the throne of God, she should let go. In the years that followed, she was just asking for trouble.
She spent two lifetimes, only to find that the person who has been with her is the real heart. The
West Street is full of people. The crowds jostled one another, bustling, and the prosperity of the capital was vividly displayed in such a night.
Sheng Yunlin lined up at several stalls. She wanted to taste all kinds of snacks and buy some gadgets. Before long, her hands were full of things.
“I can hardly hold it.” Jaffe said helplessly.
“I haven’t been to a night market in years. What’s wrong with having a good experience?” Sheng Yunlin is righteous and vigorous.
“You only went there when you were in Lin’an.” Jaffe punctured her mercilessly, “and’coincidentally ‘met the wind without a trace.”
Sheng Yun-lin was not at all embarrassed about being exposed. Instead, he suddenly realized, “Looking back now, when he was selling calligraphy and paintings in that position, he must have wanted to’meet ‘you by chance, right?”.
“Probably.”
They turned all the way to the riverside, where an arch bridge connected the two sides, with a street market at one end and a house at the other. In the night of the prosperous capital, the two sides were brightly lit, a scene of prosperity and peace. The river under the
arch bridge is sparkling, reflecting the night scenery on both sides. There are many people playing lotus lanterns by the river. The small Candlewick in the middle lights up the lotus, and the lanterns float far away along the current.
Sheng Yunlin leaned on the pillar of the arch bridge and looked into the distance.
“Jaffe, do you still remember that at the beginning of yuan-te, you suggested that I cancel the curfew at night and open the market at night?” She burst into a smile and said, “The old ministers refused, saying that the curfew had been in place for a long time and was an important guarantee for the peace of the people in the capital, and that it could not be lifted at will.”
“But you agreed.” “It comes with tax relief,” says Jaffe.
Chen Yen didn’t go to court for the next two years. At that time, the people’s livelihood was depressed, and everything needed to be done. Only with light taxes and rest with the people can we have a chance to restore the prosperity of the past. The same applies to the opening of the market at night. Sheng Yunlin’s long hair swayed in the wind.
“Look,” she said, looking down at the entire West Street from a high place. “Thank you for your achievements! How nice.
Jaffe shook his head. “It’s yours.”
“Well, it’s ours.” Sheng Yunlin’s smile became more and more brilliant.
Her eyes were sparkling, like the fireflies and lights of the whole capital reflected in them.
“Mmm.” Jaffe’s eyes softened. “Ours.”
His voice was very low, very slow, very solemn, like a very deep feeling hidden in it.
Sheng Yunlin took Jaffe’s hand in both hands and shook it. “I want to set off the river lantern!”! Will you come with me?
“Good.”
“Go, go, go.”
She held his arm and dragged him all the way under the bridge.
Sheng Yun pulled Jaffe to buy river lanterns, lit them one by one, squatted by the river and put them into the water, watching the lotus lanterns merge into hundreds of lanterns on the whole river, drifting slowly along the current.
The candle flickered. The
smiling girl put her head on the shoulder of her sweetheart, did not know what to whisper, and suddenly she was very happy.
Then she turned her head and looked into Jaffe’s eyes.
“Like a dream.” Sheng Yun-lin says, “It’s like leaving the palace with you when you were 14, going to the night market, and setting off river lanterns when you were 17.”
“It’s not too late.” Jaffe said.
Now Sheng Yunlin seems to be exactly the same as that year, lively and bright and moving, as if all the good things in the world belong to her, all the painful things have not yet happened, will not happen. In fact,
he did not expect her to really go back to that year-so happy, so carefree.
I just hope she won’t be so melancholy, won’t have nightmares, won’t cry, won’t try to be brave, won’t be full of beautiful pearls, but her face is full of fatigue, won’t be so close to him, but her heart is so far away.
Their eyes met.
Then Jaffe gently kissed Sheng Yunlin on the lips. He was as
gentle as he could be, for fear of breaking the beauty in front of him. I just hope this moment can stay longer and she can be so happy all the time.
But Sheng Yunlin put his arms around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him back. Their breathing gradually quickened and turned into a deeper desire.
I don’t know how long it took to let go.
Sheng Yunlin’s face was slightly flushed, as if he were drunk.
