Ah Li couldn¡¯t sleep all night. Listen to the rain hitting the phoenix trees, bit by bit.
When I got up in the morning, the rain had stopped. The sky was still a little overcast, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. Autumn is coming to an end in the south of the Yangtze River, and the weather has suddenly cooled down. The grass and trees are not withered, but there is also a desolate scene.
The wind was cool, so Ah Li put on an embroidered cloak and leaned against the building to look into the distance.
She had been upset all night, and now her mood had calmed down.
¡ª¡ªThe imperial edict directed marriage, and it was directed to the prince, so she could not go back on it. Unless she dies, she can only be Sima Yu's person in this life - even if she dies, she can only be Sima Yu's dead person - the plaque is entered into whose ancestral temple, whose name is entered into whose genealogy, in this era Be particular about it.
Wang Lin, whose nickname is Ali, is destined to miss Xie Lian.
¡°Had she known this would be the result, why did she provoke Xie Lian in the first place? It was an innocent thing that brought him here.
There is also Sima Yu. She just told him yesterday that her heart was unshakable and that she could not fall in love with her. As a result, she became his fianc¨¦e that night. How should he feel in his heart?
Ah Li couldn¡¯t even tell who was more unlucky in this marriage.
¡°But this is an era of arranged marriages. No matter how hard she works, in the end it won¡¯t be her turn to choose who to marry.
Naturally, it¡¯s not Sima Yu and Xie Lian¡¯s turn to choose.
She stayed in the wind for a long time and didn't eat her breakfast. I feel dull in the afternoon, and then start to feel hot at night.
The illness lasts for more than half a month.
Winter is coming quickly. Smokers have been lit in each room.
It¡¯s almost the twelfth lunar month, and Ah Li has been elected as the crown princess. This winter for the Wang family will obviously be different. On the day of the reunion, even the clan uncle who was garrisoning in Bashu came back. The family is even busier in the new year, so naturally there are more trivial matters than in previous years.
Ah Li is fine alone.
Nowadays, her mother-in-law no longer takes her to social gatherings outside. Because of her illness, her family didn't want to put any more pressure on her. Compared with the control they had on her in the first week, this time they mostly indulged and comforted her.
Naturally, she doesn¡¯t have to worry about dowry and the like.
¡° As for the wedding dress, she had actually already embroidered it. It's just that the princess has custom-made clothes, so she is destined to not be able to wear the clothes she embroidered by herself.
Ah Li didn¡¯t want to worry her mother-in-law, so she refused to take any time off. When she had nothing to do, she often spent time in the study, pondering the seal characters on the bamboo slips that she didn't recognize. Occasionally, I also look for copybooks handed down from my ancestors and copy them.
That afternoon, she was writing a post in her study. When she noticed it, it was already overcast.
The light in the room was dim, and even the words in the book were covered with dust. Time was originally peaceful, but now that even the incense has been burned, it feels even more stagnant and ancient.
Ah Li sat among the bookshelves one after another. There was silence all around. There was no living thing except her. For a moment, it seemed that even she had become a character on the unturned page.
Thinking about the reason why she came to this world, Ahri actually felt that she was right to think so.
She was in a daze for a while, then got up to light the lamp.
When she put the rubbings in her hand back on the cabinet, she saw someone on the other side of the bookcase reaching out to pick up the book.
When their hands were almost touching, they both stopped at the same time.
Ah Li looked up and saw Xie Lian looking at her quietly from the other side of the bookcase.
He has always been quiet - in fact, Ahri has never seen him noisy or irritable. The ancients said that a gentleman is as gentle as jade, and Xie Lian is that jade, gentle and firm. He is born with a kind of power that allows people to know that this person can be relied upon when they see him. With him around, you don't have to worry about anything. If even he can't do anything, then you don't have to worry, just accept your fate.
But this time, when Xie Lian looked at her, there was a torrent surging slowly and darkly.
¡ª¡ªChildhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts. Some friendships were born inadvertently. It's just that a gentleman behaves in a polite manner and does not go overboard even a little bit when making an appointment. The emotion flowed slowly and slowly like water, with no sign of surge. But who says this feeling is not profound?
But he was suddenly stopped. The good relationship that we knew very well turned into a private relationship that could not be expressed in words in just one sentence. Just like the water flow has nowhere to slow down, it can only overflow little by little.
Even a young man like Xie Lian was slightly breathless.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Ah Li, and I felt like breaking out of the dike.
AhliThere is no obstruction between them, and the gaze can go straight to the bottom of the eyes. Nothing to hide.
Xie Lian said: "When I wrote to you, I didn't expect it to end like this. I'm sorry that I can't take you there."
There were tears in Ah Li's eyes - Xie Lian was indeed a gentleman. They just didn't have the chance. He only remembered that he showed his kindness to Ah Li first, but he did not mention that it was Ah Li who gave him the purse first, so that everything would happen in the future.
She suppressed her tears and only replied softly, "When I replied to the letter, I didn't expect this ending. I promised but had to break my promise to you. I'm also very sorry."
She was talking about the promise made under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree that day.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
Ah Li saluted, then turned around and pushed the door open and went out.
Ah Li had been out for a long time, and Xie Lian walked over to where she was standing before and took down the rubbings she had put down before.
There is a plum blossom hairpin placed on the rubbing, simple and elegant, it is the one he gave her before.
She finally returned it to him.
Ah Li came out of the inner room. There is a water-viewing window outside, but it is not sealed in winter, so it gets very cold. The maid serving in the study is not on duty in this weather.
Because of this window, the room is not so dark, and you can see the white sky outside. The rain and snow were falling really hard, falling in big clumps. There was just a dull sound when he fell to the ground.
There was a thick layer on the ground, and even the green bamboos by the window were bent down under the pressure. The branches and leaves are connected into one piece.
Ah Li didn¡¯t wait for anyone to pick her up, so she took an umbrella from a basket on the side and walked into the ice and snow.
At this moment, she finally let go of her heavy burden.
The relationship between her and Xie Lian ended like this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
