Not long after this happened, the Chinese New Year came.

After the winter, the embroidery workshop has received very little business, and around the Chinese New Year, the work has basically been cleared. I listened to Yunxiang's opinion, and based on the usual performance of the embroidery girls and their technical abilities, each of them gave a red envelope.

, everyone was happy, and several embroiderers in the village even sent some aquatic products to express their gratitude.

As the second boss, Yunxiang, in addition to paying dividends at the end of the year, I also secretly gave her a big red envelope.

When I first started running the household, I was more concerned about money, but after accepting the gift from Uncle Ai and Susu starting to run the household, I became a little more relaxed; Susu was from the Yan family, and she treated me as the eldest lady.

, treating Li'er as Miss Sun will definitely not make our life miserable anymore; besides, all the money Uncle Ai gave me were red tickets, and one ticket is enough for our family of three to live comfortably for more than ten years.

What's more, the big pile is like living a small life guarding a golden mountain, and naturally living a very nourishing life.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the inside and outside of the house were repainted to make it bright and tidy. Susu asked other villagers to dry the aquatic products. The yard was filled with the unique salty smell of river fresh food, and there were still two or three days before the Chinese New Year.

God, she has already prepared the materials for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Naturally, Li'er and I couldn't help, and she wouldn't let us interfere. Li'er was happy, and climbed up and down with a group of friends, just climbing over the walls. The whole village, and my home, were all enjoying themselves.

look like.

In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.

Early in the morning, I could already smell the delicious aroma of chicken soup wafting from the kitchen. I got up and went out to see. Susu had cleaned the already clean yard again. When she saw me standing at the door, her eyes were bent with laughter.

Curved: "Miss!"

"Susu, you're so early."

"It's Chinese New Year!"

As she spoke, she put down the broom, washed her hands and walked in. Only then did I see large and small packages on the table. Susu opened them and said, "A salesman passed by yesterday, and I saw that his stuff was pretty good."

, bought some more."

When I saw it, there were mignonette cakes, snowflake candies, pine nut candies, and peach cakes. I smiled helplessly and said, "There are so many more at home."

"Miss Sun loves to eat. Besides, eldest lady, you have so many friends, so it's good to put out dishes and treat guests!"

I smiled helplessly, this girl was quite generous. However, she was too generous.

Now that we have bought it, this is what we can do naturally. She and I took out the dishes and put them away together. Li'er also got up. When she saw the cakes Susu bought, she was so happy that she almost laughed out of her eyes. Before

I was afraid that she would get bad teeth and have stomachaches from eating too much, so I never let her eat too much sweets. Now that she is celebrating the Chinese New Year, she has to work hard all year round just for the pleasure of these few days, so naturally she is allowed to eat with open stomach. How can she be unhappy?

During the Chinese New Year, every household is beaming with joy.

As soon as I went out, I saw everyone's smiling faces. I immediately greeted them with New Year's greetings. Some people remembered that I could write, so they knocked on the door with red paper and asked for Spring Festival couplets. I didn't hesitate, and I opened the table.

I started writing for everyone in the yard.

For a time, the whole small courtyard was lively.

By the time the fuss was over, it was already noon.

After lunch, a group of children came over and took Li'er away. I gave them each a piece of cake and asked them to be careful not to touch the candles in other courtyards and not to mess around and make the adults angry. They agreed at a distance.

Then he ran away.

At this time, Susu had devoted herself wholeheartedly to the New Year's Eve "dinner". The chicken soup in the big casserole was boiling thickly, and the whole small yard was filled with aroma. She also had to kill fish and chop meat. Seeing how busy she was,

But she didn't let me do anything, and I had no choice but to sit in the room and watch her busy here and there, so I simply hid out and took a walk.

Susu sent me out almost thankfully.

I smiled bitterly, shook my head and slowly walked to the river.

There is a lively atmosphere everywhere in the village, but it has become quiet here. Only the gurgling river slowly flows eastward with a chill.

I stood by the river, feeling the coldness of the water, and subconsciously crossed my arms.

Such a chill reminds me of a year ago again...

The towering fire in Jixian Hall, the thin figure in the sea of ​​​​fire, and the cold river water with ice and snow, everything is like a dream. The calmness of the past year has almost made me forget that my life used to be like that.

It was intense.

There are some others that I haven’t forgotten, but I don’t dare to think about them anymore...

How is his injury? Where is it? Is it serious? What is his relationship with the emperor? He burned so many ancient books by Fu Badai. Was he embarrassed by the old man?

And what I dare not think about the most is that finger wedding.

In just one year, he and I have undergone earth-shaking changes.

I have integrated into the life here, and the life that once belonged to him makes me understand why even if life is so difficult, he will still save me and Queen Yin, and still be so tenacious and live with a smile; but I can't understand

, where will he go next...

The fingertips, chilled by the cold air, trembled slightly and stretched toward the chest.

I have always known that no one is obligated. As he said, people can die for love, but they don’t have to live for love. However, the pain, helplessness and emptiness in the heart cannot be solved by a few open-minded words.

Redeemable.

Just like my life now, it is peaceful, happy, and fulfilling. It has almost turned all the dreams of the past into reality. For me, it should already be - perfect.

The only shortcoming is——

Without him.

Without him, there would be no broad figure chopping firewood in the yard, sweating profusely; no tenderness that held my hand tightly at night and let me fall asleep peacefully in his body temperature;

They share, discuss, and even argue with me with their wise mind and quick thinking; nor do they have the sense of compatibility that no need to convince themselves or force each other when we talk quietly to the end.

My life is very happy.

However, he is not around.

This fact has always been so clear before our eyes...

I stood by the river, looking at the long river water. Suddenly, the originally quiet and slow-flowing river water began to sway. Waves of ripples undulated with the wind and hit the shore. A burst of water splashed up and wet the corners of my skirt.<

/p>

I subconsciously raised my head and saw a large ship approaching.

For some reason, I forgot to react. The water waves at my feet were getting bigger and bigger. Soon, the river water came in waves and wet the corners of my skirt. However, I remained motionless, looking at the boat that did not belong to Jixiang Village.

The almost gorgeous ship slowly approached, and the wind blew the curtains of the cabin, swaying.

Then, one hand opened the curtain, and a familiar, snow-white figure walked out of the cabin, standing on the bow of the ship and looking at me.

There is a calm smile on his face.

He was wearing a gorgeous robe, and the fluffy and soft fur on his shoulders made his smile more gentle and warm, but also added a bit of nobility. A jade-colored belt was hung loosely around his waist, showing a bit of elegance.

Casual and lazy, only his eyes, slightly bent, looking at me, were not at all casual and lazy.

On the contrary, it was so solemn that it seemed to imprint my shadow.

I lost my reaction for a moment and watched helplessly as the ship docked. He led a team of people off the ship and slowly walked up to me: "Qingying."

"..." I looked at him blankly.

He looked at me and said nothing, but he lowered his head, gently closed my hand with his palm, and immediately frowned and said, "It's so cold, have you been standing here for a long time?"

At this time, I seemed to have come back to my senses: "Young Master?"

Standing in front of me was Pei Yuanxiu. It seemed that there was still the cold air of mist around him, but his palms were so warm, almost hot, which made me shiver slightly and look at him in amazement - he

,how did it appear?

He smiled: "Yeah."

"You, why are you here?"

"I want to see you."

Such a direct sentence made me startled. At this time, I felt the warmth in his palms, flowing continuously through the ironing of my skin. My fingertips were pinched by him: "You, or...

You don’t know how to take care of yourself.”

There were people he brought around, including guards, attendants, and maids, but not a single cough was heard. He had already folded my hands, held them up, gently put them to his mouth, breathed and rubbed them: "Are you feeling better?"<

/p>

My fingertips became warm, and I woke up and quickly pulled my hand back.

He didn't seem to feel anything, he just looked at me with a smile.

I don’t know why, but I seemed to be afraid to raise my head and meet his eyes.

Because I know that such a look is the same as the obsession of taking a boat across the river in the dark night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just to put that exquisite river lantern, just to warm the mandarin ducks. I refuse to give up.

.

Still haven’t given up.

Thinking of this, I was a little flustered: "Why are you here?"

I had just asked him, but he was not impatient. I even heard him chuckle: "I want to see you."
