Southerners

Meng Huan's sudden turning back was completely unexpected by Song Zhi, he reflexively wanted to hide, but found that there was no way to hide, Meng Huan had already seen him.

Song Zhi froze in place, staring at Meng Huan from a distance without moving.Meng Huan walked farther and farther with the team in the guard of honor. His face was a little darker than when he left more than four months ago, and he looked more handsome and profound. Because he had just returned from the battlefield, he seemed to have a murderous look on his body. It smelled like blood, but when he looked back at Song Zhi, his expression was the same as before, with a slight smile in his amber eyes.

Song Zhi felt a slight heat in his heart. The four months of longing were secret and gnawing. He never wanted to admit it. It can be seen that when he saw this person, the unspeakable thoughts were so vivid, and his chest was full of sadness and joy. Song Zhi didn't know whether she was happy or sad for a moment.

From February [-] to June [-], more than four months, he finally came back.

Seeing that Meng Huan was about to disappear from sight, Song Zhi panicked, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, trying to catch up, but saw Meng Huan gave him a comforting look, and at the same time mouthed:

"wait me back."

Song Zhi's heart was full of boiling waves suddenly quieted down, he bit his lip and nodded to Meng Huan.

it is good.

God knows how much self-control Meng Huan used to turn his head away, but even with his back to Song Zhi, Meng Huan could still feel that burning gaze.

Song Zhi didn't chase after the team anymore, but just stood in place, following the movement of the crowd, watching Meng Huan get further and further away, his figure gradually disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.

Song Zhi's heart was empty, as if the heart that had just been filled suddenly lacked something, it was empty.

When the crowd dispersed, Song Zhi went back to the shop listlessly. The boss was Qi Luqian's uncle. He knew that Song Zhi and Qi Luqian had a good relationship, and she always treated Song Zhi very affectionately. Seeing Song Zhi's expression was abnormal, she let Song Zhi sit down Take a rest and ask him: "Just now the army from Burma came back, did you go to watch the excitement?"

"Someone in the family did not return from the expedition?" the boss guessed.After all, it is a war. Although it is a beautiful victory, people will always die.

Song Zhi shook her head.

The boss asked what was the matter again, but Song Zhi didn't say anything, so she had to let Song Zhi digest it by herself.

In the afternoon, when the boss saw that Song Zhixin had gone somewhere, he gave him leave and asked him to go home and rest without deducting his wages.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhi refused, and repeatedly assured the boss that he would never delay the work in hand, so the boss had to agree to let him stay.

The boss didn't know what Song Zhi was thinking, but Song Zhi knew it in her heart.

Meng Huan has now gone to Shangdu with the Commander-in-Chief, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return in a short time. One thing is to meet His Majesty and report the military situation in detail.Second, His Majesty will hold a banquet to clean up the dust for the three armies.The third is to reward meritorious deeds.

Song Zhi had just met Meng Huan in a hurry on the street, if she had nothing else to do, the day would be even more difficult.

In the evening, Song Zhi returned to Xingshun Hutong exhausted physically and mentally. She wanted to go to bed early, but Xiu Niang told him that the second day of July was Bai Man'er's birthday, and the little girl would officially turn fourteen.

Song Zhi almost forgot about this, feeling annoyed and blaming herself, he didn't even prepare a gift for Bai Man'er, so he planned to go to the morning market the next day to buy a gift for Bai Man'er.Who would have thought that the second day would be the first day of the new year, and there would be a solar eclipse. When Song Zhi bought a gift and went home, she caught up with the solar eclipse on the way, and suddenly it was dark, and Song Zhi went home in the dark.

What Song Zhi picked out for Bai Man'er was a silver round hairpin with engraved begonias. Women from ordinary families usually use bone hairpins, and silver hairpins are rare. This silver hairpin almost cost Song Zhi Two months' wages.

"Thank you, Brother Lang!" Bai Man'er seemed to like this silver hairpin very much. Although it is not as exquisite as the ones used by wealthy people, the carved begonias on it are also lifelike. Elegant and rich, just suitable for Bai Man'er's youthful spirit.

Bai Azhu was a little embarrassed: "How can Lang Geer give such an expensive gift? How can Man'er afford it?"

Song Zhi just looked at Bai Man'er and smiled: "What's precious, as long as Man'er likes it."

Xiu Niang also interjected: "Yes, Ah Zhu, the main thing is that Man'er is happy, a silver hairpin is nothing more, it's not worth anything."

Xiuniang lived a wealthy life in her early years, but now she is down and out, but her vision is still there, and she doesn't pay much attention to a silver hairpin.

"I like it!" Bai Man'er said loudly, "Man'er likes it very much!"

Ever since she was wounded at Yu Shilang's house, Song Zhi had rarely seen Bai Man'er so happy, and now she felt that the two months' wages were well spent.

There is only one scar left on Bai Man'er's face, which is more obvious, and that one is on her forehead, and Bai A'Zhu parted some hair for her to cover it up, so you can't see it unless you look carefully.

"Mother, put it on for me!" Bai Maner excitedly handed the silver hairpin to Bai Azhu.

Seeing that her daughter was so happy, Bai Azhu smiled slightly, took the silver hairpin, and carefully inserted it into Bai Man'er's hair.

Bai Man'er touched it by herself, and she felt very happy. In the past, Song Zhi would give her gifts, but they were all small things to coax children. This time, the silver hairpin she gave was a jewelry that is really suitable for women. For Man'er, the meaning is different. In her heart, she doesn't want Brother Lang to treat her like a little girl all the time.

"I'll go in and have a look!" Bai Man'er said.Impromptuly ran back to the boudoir, looked left and right in the mirror, and looked good no matter how you looked.

Unexpectedly, because of giving this gift, Song Zhi got herself into trouble when she returned home that day.

"Does the young master like that girl Man'er?"

Song Zhi was almost stunned when Xiu Niang asked her: "What, what?"

Xiu Niang chuckled: "Xiu Niang is teasing you."

"However," Xiu Niang's expression became serious again, "Master really has to think about it, you can't hang out with Man'er all day long, and give Man'er a bad reputation. If you have no intention of marrying Man'er, you don't plan to marry her. Just stay away from her."

"The young master is outside. Is there a girl you like? It doesn't matter what the family looks like, as long as the family background is clean and the conduct is good."

Song Zhi was blushed by Xiu Niang's words, hurriedly responded with a few words, and then hid in her room as if fleeing.In the next few days, in order to avoid being nagged by Xiu Niang again, Song Zhi had to make a detour when she saw her.

Marriage or something... It's too far away, he hasn't considered it yet.

She still went to work in the calligraphy and painting shop as usual, leaving early and returning late, but Song Zhi had an extra itinerary, and she had to detour to Taipingfang every day to have a look to see if Meng Huan had returned, and then go to the painting and calligraphy shop.

But Song Zhi also knew in her heart that most cities were far away, and Meng Huan might not be able to come back in a month.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, another major incident happened in Dadu. His Majesty decreed to punish Zhongshu Zuocheng Hao Zhen. Since Hao Zhen was killed by Wang Zhu on the night of March [-], he had to kill his body as a punishment.Both Hao Zhen and Geng Ren were single-handedly promoted by Ahema, and their fate was not much better than that of Ahema. They were also ransacked and beheaded, and all their property was confiscated.

It was just a caught fish. Hao Zhen's nephew, Hao Yan, knew that his uncle's affairs had been exposed early in the morning, so he hid early. He didn't know where he went, but he couldn't find him.

On February [-]th, on the day of outing with Meng Huan Lushishan, Song Zhi met Hao Yan once, and he had a good impression of this person. Unexpectedly, he fell from the clouds and fell into the valley in the blink of an eye. The former noble son became a fugitive. trace.Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sad, even if she has great power, there will be a day when she will fall, and the power and position will not last long.

The seventh day of the seventh day is Qiqiao Festival, also known as Qixi Festival.Song Zhi had no possessions, no one to care about, and took the initiative to do the work of other people in the shop. She stayed there until dark before returning to Xingshun Hutong. At night, she talked with Xiu Niang, rested early, and did not see her. Bai Man'er.

This is actually considering what Xiuniang said to him a few days ago, that Song Zhi didn't want to teach Bai Man'er at a young age, so she entrusted her whole life to him, and entrusted her to no one.

Song Zhi only lived this day as an ordinary day, but it was not an ordinary day after all. Even if Song Zhi hid in the house, she could not escape the fate of being abused. Looking out from the green screen window, one could see the vast galaxy, The rising Kongming lanterns are far away and bright, and each one is the sincerity of a lover.Song Zhi looked at the stars and Kongming lanterns all over the sky in the night wind of early autumn. It is said that Vega and Altair at the two ends of the Milky Way will meet on this night.

I don't know when Meng Huan will return to Dadu.

Meng Huan came back early on the night of July [-]th, wearing the stars and the moon, and the people in the house were all surprised, not knowing why the young master came back so early.

Meng Huan was probably tired, so he rested after he came back.

Early the next morning, Meng Huan found out that Song Zhi was not in the mansion, so he ordered someone to invite him to Xingshun Hutong, while he himself reported safety to all friends and Chuo Man, while waiting for Song Zhi to come back in the study.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhi was not at home.

Meng Huan gritted his teeth with hatred, he clearly told him to wait for him to come back, where did he go now?

"Zino!" Meng Huan ordered aggressively, "Go, get Song Zilan back for me, and see what he's been up to lately?"

Zeno suffered from the disaster of the fish pond, while holding a broken heart, he thought: I grew up with the young master for more than ten years, but I never thought that the young master would meet that poor scholar first when he came back!On the one hand, he ran out desperately to find someone.

At this time, Song Zhi was still in the painting and calligraphy shop, completely unaware of what had happened. Although she had something on her mind, Song Zhi looked the same as usual, and even the boss wondered if she was superstitious on June [-]th.

At that time, this elegantly decorated calligraphy and painting shop ushered in a distinguished guest.

The distinguished guests sat in the carriage, followed by a group of guards and maidservants.

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs, and with a sound of "Woo", the coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped at the door of the shop.

"Master, here we are."

The calligraphy and painting shop welcomes and sends away ordinary people, and occasionally meets a few sesame officials or wealthy businessmen, who rarely see this battle, and immediately rush out of the shop with their heads squeezed, wanting to see Look at the young master sitting in this fine carriage, what kind of character he is.

Only Song Zhi and the boss stayed in the shop.

At this time, a young man who looked like a servant came forward, it was Zi Nuo, he pulled back the curtain for the people in the carriage, and said: "Master, we are here."

The person in the carriage stretched out a hand first, that hand was slender and powerful, with a thick callus on the palm, it looked like it had been practicing martial arts all year round.

Immediately afterwards, the man poked his head out, showing handsome and sharp eyebrows and eyes, the man pursed his lips, looking not in a good mood, this person was naturally Meng Huan.

Meng Huan was wearing a royal blue gown, the low-key and luxurious dark pattern was very expensive at first glance.

He swept his eyes away, but he didn't see Song Zhi's figure among the obsequious crowd at the door, he frowned slightly, feeling even worse.

Zi Nuo helped Meng Huan get out of the carriage, and muttered: "Master, it's fine for the villain to come, why do you have to come to this poor place by yourself?"

Meng Huan glanced at him indifferently: "Shut up."

Zeno immediately sewed his mouth shut.

"My lord, what do you need?" There was an enthusiastic and flattering person who greeted him with a smile on his face.

Meng Huan walked straight into the shop without even looking at him.

It's a small shop, and you can see the bottom at a glance when you walk to the door, and you can see clearly the furnishings inside, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the purple sand teapot on the case, and of course the young man with the framed picture behind the case.

The boy lowered his head, framed with no distractions, his hair hanging down, covering half of his face, only his jade-like, sharpened chin was exposed.

He lost weight.Meng Huan thought.

The author has something to say:

Xiaowei Meng is finally officially back, and he can continue to develop relationships with each other in the future 233333
