A few days after Wang's second cousin left the cabinet, Mrs. Hou's "condition" gradually improved, and after a few more days, she was already very well.

Madam Hou saw that she had been obediently taking care of her by her side, and she no longer thought about going back to the city to see her cousin Wang, and relaxed her secret surveillance.

On this day, she and Mrs. Hou were strolling in the garden, enjoying the sunset together in the evening.She was very happy, and took the opportunity to say: "I get up late every day, and I have never seen a sunrise. I want to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning." And told Xirui next to her to wake her up early tomorrow morning.

Madam Hou teased her dotingly: "You are such a lazy cat, how could you get up."

"My daughter will get up early tomorrow morning to show her mother. Not only does she get up early, but she also goes to the back mountain to watch the sunrise!"

Mrs. Hou looked in the direction of the back mountain. The Nanshan Bieye was at the foot of the mountain. The back mountain was not high. From the back door, there was a small path leading directly to the top of the mountain. It took only two or three quarters to climb to the top of the mountain.

"Okay, mother will see if you little lazy cat can get out of bed."

She got up before dawn the next day, excused that the crowd would affect her mood to watch the sunrise, and ordered the maidservants not to follow her, so she took Xirui alone and headed towards the back door with a lantern.

"Is the carriage ready?" she asked in a low voice.

"It was prepared last night. The lady really wants to sneak back to the city without telling the madam? The madam knows that she must be worried."

"Madam left me here, which made me restless all the time. I always felt that something big happened in the city, and it was related to me. If I go back, Madam will definitely stop me. I can only do this." The speaker has already to the back door.

The guard at the door only asked where he was going, without persuading or stopping him.

After going out the back door and walking a dozen steps towards the back hill, bypassing a row of bushes, Tang Xiaoshi and Xirui immediately made a detour to the spot agreed with the coachman beforehand, and indeed saw a carriage.

After getting into the car, he ordered the driver to drive back to the city immediately.

Nanshan Bieye is not far from the imperial capital, but due to the difficult mountain road, it was already afternoon when we reached the gate of the city.I haven't eaten much for most of the day, and my stomach is growling with hunger at this time.When I entered the city, I randomly found a noodle restaurant on the side of the street and walked in.

The store is not too big, there are only a couple of young diners in the store at this time, dressed like low-level officials, and they are waiting for hot soup noodles.

She didn't like noodle soup very much, but at this moment, she felt that this ordinary bowl of noodle soup was extremely delicious.

When the food was delicious, I heard a young man on the opposite side suddenly sighed: "What a pity!"

"Who says it's not! She hasn't married a wife at such a young age, nor has she left a descendant."

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at the young man, not knowing what they said and not paying attention.

The shopkeeper leaned over and asked, "You two gentlemen, are you talking about Young General Liang?"

"That's right! General Liang's family is full of loyalty and bravery, why can't God take care of him? Now there are only old, weak, women and children left besides General Liang."

"General Liang lost his father when he was young, and now his eldest son, who had just grown up, died in battle again, alas—"

Tang Xiaoshi took a mouthful of noodles in her mouth and forgot to chew, looked up again at the two young men opposite, spit out the noodles in a quick gulp, and asked in panic, "Who is Young General Liang that Lang Jun is talking about?"

The two minor officials glanced at her, saw that she was dressed like a noble lady, and replied politely: "Where is there a second General Liang in our country, it must be General Liang Yu."

She felt as if struck by lightning, her heart stopped for an instant, her mind went blank, she fell down on the mat, her eyes staring blankly at one place.

Xirui was terrified, hurriedly crawled over to shake her, calling her.It took her a while to return to her seat, she stared blankly at Xirui: "What did the two gentlemen say just now?"

"Lady, don't scare the servant girl, go back to the mansion first, let's go back to the mansion first, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Go back to the house?" She muttered softly, and Huo Di got up and ran outside.

Hastily rushed into the carriage and let the coachman drive back to the mansion. As soon as the man beat the whip, she immediately changed her words: "Go to General Liang's mansion!"

Along the way, she kept asking herself in her heart: How did Liang Yu die?She had received his letter a few months ago, as well as the wild fruit he entrusted someone to bring, and she hadn't heard any ominous battle reports in the past few months. How could he die?

It must be rumors, these petty officials are making rumors.

Seeing her tense expression, Xirui comforted her softly, but she didn't listen to a word.

The carriage stopped in front of General Liang's mansion, she got out of the carriage, and the first thing she saw was a white lantern and plain silk flowers in front of the gate. The lantern had holes and a layer of dust fell on it.

That's it!

Xiao Cheng and Mrs. Hou knew about this, they knew about it more than two months ago, they kept it from her, and even sent her to Nanshan Bieye.They were afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow.

She laughed bitterly at herself, but her eyes suddenly became warm, her eyes were blurred, and tears fell down.There was a sharp pain in her heart, which made it difficult for her to breathe.She clutched her heart, her body slowly went limp.

Xirui supported her in time: "My lady, let's go home first!"

She didn't answer, Xirui took the initiative to help her back to the carriage.She didn't push away to refuse, and let Xirui help her into the car.

The pain in her heart was getting worse, she grabbed the skirt of her clothes and pressed against it.

"Miss, don't scare the servant girl." Xirui started to cry while grabbing her.

She felt that this heart didn't seem to be hers, it hurt too much, it hurt so unreal.She shouldn't have such strong emotions, she shouldn't have this kind of heart-piercing grief, but her body reflected the pain of death.

People in Qamdo Marquis Mansion were all shocked when they heard that she had come back. Seeing her pale face and dull eyes, they all panicked when they found out that she knew about Liang Yu after asking.The Marquis of Changdu immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.

She was helped back to the small building where she lived, lying on the couch, closing her eyes, she felt the existence of another emotion in her body more clearly, and she knew that it was the real Xiao Yiren.

In the ears are the concerned voices of Marquis Changdu, Xiao Cheng, Xiao Liren and other brothers.

She didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to hear anything, she just felt that her heart hurt, her body was very tired, she wanted to sleep, she just wanted to sleep, but she really just fell asleep like this.

When I opened my eyes again, it was at night, I don't know what time, there was only one dim light in the room, and the two maidservants who were watching the night in front of the couch were leaning on the small table and dozing off.

She felt much better in her heart and it didn't hurt so much.Standing up and sitting on the side of the couch, looking at the dark room, all the images of beams and rafters popped into my mind.

She sat like this until dawn, when the night watch maid woke up and saw her appearance, she was so frightened that she immediately called someone.

Mrs. Xu Hou came in, covered with travel and dust, her face was frightened and haggard, it could be seen that she rushed back overnight.Seeing her, she rushed over and hugged her, crying in distress.

After Madam Hou cried for a while, she persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, my daughter is fine, really fine."

Mrs. Hou and Changdu Hou saw that she was laughing instead of crying or sad, and felt even more disturbed, fearing that she would be overly shocked and lose her mind.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Mrs. Hou looked at her carefully, not sure of her condition, she was apprehensive, but she didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered her maid to prepare breakfast.

Qamdo Hou and Mrs. Hou accompanied her to eat, and she did not have any abnormal words or actions during the meal, which was already her biggest abnormality for the two of them.

Madam Hou talked to her cautiously, and she answered fluently, without any depression or intensity, which made them even more confused and worried.

After breakfast, she persuaded the two of them: "Father and mother don't have to worry about the daughter, the daughter is fine, it's just... just too unexpected... I can't accept it for a while." Touching his heart, he forced a relieved smile.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial physician again.

She waved her hands and smiled: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter is fine."

She was really fine. Although she was sad and her heart seemed to be missing a corner, she would not be as depressed and depressed as Xiao Yiren was back then.

For several days in a row, she stayed in the small building and never went out. Her parents and brothers, including Xiao Liren, would come to visit her every day.Looking at her day by day, there is nothing unusual, and the hearts of everyone are slowly let go.

In the evening of this day, Xiao Liren came to visit and brought a box of dried plums.He deliberately mentioned that he came back from Chu's house and bought it through a shop not far from Liang's house.

Not one fell, still the same as before.

Doing the same trick again, trying to force her to death?

She glanced at the dried plums, picked one casually and threw it into her mouth, and said with a sneer, "Nowadays in the imperial capital, everyone regards elder sister and young master Chu as a beautiful couple. Does elder sister know why the Chu family is so slow to propose marriage? And have you ever thought that if one day Mr. Chu marries another girl, my sister will become a joke in the entire imperial capital, and the entire Hou Mansion might be ashamed of you."

Xiao Liren looked sullen, she didn't expect her to speak so bluntly and mercilessly.

She continued: "Sister, I have revealed to you that I have no half-hearted thoughts on Mr. Chu. I know Mr. Chu is interested in me, so I deliberately avoided him. There is no need for you to provoke me with such words Right? If I can't get sick, or even die, maybe Mr. Chu will still miss me!"

"Sister, it's better to treat me better, maybe you can win Mr. Chu's favor, and after a long time of love, sister's sincerity can also be exchanged for Mr. Chu's sincerity."

Xiao Liren looked at her in astonishment, dumbfounded for a while.

She squeezed another plum and threw it into her mouth: "The plum tastes very good, so I will treat it as a sister who came to see me sincerely this time." Holding the plum, she got up and walked to the window, sat on the table and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus outside the window Tree.

It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the snow is about to fall, and the osmanthus trees are still green and full of vitality, which seems to be incompatible with this season.

Xiao Liren looked at the gloomy girl in front of the window for a long time, today she is very different from before, her words are harsh, but they are not unreasonable.

All along, she thought she was living in a muddle, but it turned out that she could see everything clearly, but she didn't want to argue with her.It was her own jumping up and down like a joke.

She was ashamed and annoyed, but felt that she couldn't blame the girl in front of the window at all.

She got up and said: "Don't think about it, take a good rest." She turned and left the small building.

Tang Xiaoshi sat in front of the window for a long time, the sky outside became dark, and the lights in the small building came on.She turned her head and saw the scores on the table, the top few volumes were all written by Liang Ruan.For more than a year, she has already played proficiently.

She took a roll, which was the song "Suo Guanyue", and while looking at the score, she recalled the scene of him playing the piano and dancing last spring.

After a long time, she called Xirui and ordered: "Prepare some sacrifices, tomorrow...to visit Young General Liang."

The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, and she got off at the foot of the mountain and walked into the Liang family's cemetery.The tombs and tombstones are like soldiers standing proudly in armor, solemn and silent.

The new tombs are particularly eye-catching among the many tombs.

Xiao Cheng, who accompanied her, didn't tell until this time that this place is the tomb of beam rafters.

Liang Chuan led [-] cavalry to pursue the Xiongnu. Because of the wrong information from the scouts, the Xiongnu lay in ambush, and none of the [-] cavalry survived.There are countless wolves outside the Great Wall, and crows are like locusts. When the soldiers found them, they only found fragments of beam rafters and armor, but not their remains.

She heard that her stomach was churning, and she tried to vomit several times but was forced to suppress it.

That day, he learned from the Marquis of Changdu that Liang Yu was chasing the Huns soldiers and died in an ambush.Then our army wiped out the main force of the Huns, and the remnants of the Huns fled to the northwest.This victory, but beam rafters and thousands of soldiers died.

She thought that the Liang family brought back his remains, but it turned out they were not.

She knelt in front of the tombstone, tears streaming down uncontrollably.She took the offerings from the handmaiden and placed them one by one, burning incense.

Xiao Cheng has been observing her mood, there is no fluctuation, just shed tears silently, not even crying out loud.

He looked at the tombstone in front of him, thinking of the good brother who grew up with him and was as close as brother, but he was only the same age as him.The eyes are unconsciously misty.

After a long time, half of the basin was burnt with Ming Zhi, and Tang Xiaoshi stopped crying, so he cautiously persuaded: "Don't be too sad, it's going to snow, let's go back first, and come to see him another day."

She looked up at the name on the tombstone, the sadness in her heart gradually faded, and the breath that was pressed in her chest was slowly released.

After a while, he said softly to the tombstone: "Young General Liang, you and I have known each other for a while, and I know all about your love for me. I don't know how to thank you. I will dance for you again, based on your " Compiled by "Green Mountain". I wanted to cooperate with you again when you came back, you played for me, and I danced for you. Now... I will dance for you."

She stood up and glanced at Xiao Cheng.Xiao Cheng retreated to the side, and the servants also retreated one after another.

She took two steps back, took a deep breath and danced suddenly, singing the lyrics in her mouth.The dancing posture is firm with softness, and soft with firmness. There are thousands of troops and lonely shadows. There are fierce killings and homesickness.

"Xiao Qi rides in the north wind, outside the green hills of a good minister..."

Suddenly there was the sound of singing from behind her, her movements froze, and she suddenly turned around with a thought, and a familiar figure came.She was dressed in a shabby coarse kudzu clothes, her cheeks were thin and full of vicissitudes, and her eyes were firm and gentle.

"Yi Ren." The visitor whispered.

Tang Xiaoshi stared at him, watching him walk to the front step by step, smiled eagerly, tears blurred her eyes again.

"Thinking of your son, good minister, good minister is coming and returning." She read.
