After five years, Chu Guo returned to Qingshi Town.
Time has not changed half of his appearance. When he left, he was dressed in red clothes and had nothing on his body. When he came, he was dressed in a thicker silver fox snow suit.
It's just that spring has returned to snow, and crabapple flowers are no longer blooming in front of the courtyard.
The old scholar was wearing a blue gown with white corners, and a big cotton coat, and moved a small wooden stool to sit at the end of the alley selling books. Perhaps because of the cold weather, his voice was much weaker than before. Then there is the old scholar who can call Ximen blacksmith.
"Painting books, painting books, from the news of the former dynasty to the court news, down to folk unofficial history, celebrity legends, and the reincarnation entanglement of demons, ghosts and mortals... Ten articles, one book, five books, thirty articles, and new ones. It’s a painting book with ink, come and have a look..."
But the words did not change a bit, Chu Guo thought so, stopped and stood at the entrance of the snow-covered alley.
The old scholar only faintly saw a familiar red figure, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he realized that it was not an illusion.
"Chu Guo?" He called out in disbelief.
Chu Guo came over on snow, and said in response, "It's Chu Guo."
Walking to the book stand, he squatted down as before, and began to search for any interesting picture books, as if he had never left for a day.
"this……"
"General Nie..."
Chu Guo and the old scholar spoke at the same time, they were both stunned for a moment.
"What's the matter with Nie Changjue?" Chu Guo asked, but he didn't stop turning over the book, picking and choosing.
"I heard that General Nie rebelled, is it true?" the old scholar said a little excitedly, as if he didn't want to believe it.
"It's true." Chu Guo said.
He added in his heart: half of my credit for his rebellion.
"Oh... you child." The old scholar suddenly sighed.
To Chu Guo's surprise, the old scholar didn't continue to ask about the relationship between him and Nie Changjue, nor did he explore what he had experienced in the past five years.
"Your face and heart are destined to not be a thing in the pond." The old scholar's eyes were kind, making Chu Guo think of the old housekeeper in Nie's mansion for a moment.
Seeing his expression, the old scholar already had some understanding in his heart, and he said again: "These few years, how have you been?"
Chu Guo was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"It's good to eat and drink."
If I said that more than three years were spent in the palace, eating meals cooked by the top chefs in the entire Nie Kingdom, I don’t know how the old scholar would feel.
Thinking of this, Chu Guo smiled unconsciously.
"That's good." The old scholar said, "I often clean your courtyard house. It is clean inside and out. It's cold now, so go back quickly."
Chu Guo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a long-lost move in his heart, but he heard the old scholar say: "Before General Nie left me money that I can't use up in my life, I didn't dare to touch it. It's all in your house."
He fumbled in the outer pocket of his cotton coat, and handed it to Chu Guo—it was a somewhat old key.
"I also often wipe the locks, without embroidery."
Saying so, he put the key in Chu Guo's palm.
Chu Guo thanked him, and left in a daze, as the flying snow all over the sky fell on him one after another.
The words of the old scholar are still in my ears.
"I can see that General Nie likes you very much."
"Although I don't know what happened between you, but if you live a good life, it will be his comfort."
Chu Guo raised the corners of his lips slightly coolly, he thought, how could it be.
If he hadn't witnessed the real three thousand beauties with his own eyes, beauties falling like flowers in the clouds of the harem... Maybe he would have guessed that Nie Changjue used him as a comfort.
He didn't believe that there was a second Nie Huaijin in this world—the second person who abandoned the country and society for him.
