Lingyun Jianghu

Yingying ice crystals, a vast snowy sea, the New Year's Eve, Zhongshan County is covered in silver, and it is full of excitement.Vendors on street corners sell goods, children run around with gourd lanterns, and every household hangs embroidered lanterns in the shape of gourds, even the candies that children eat are in the shape of gourds.

The new year is the "Gourd Festival" in Zhongshan County. This custom has been inherited for a hundred years. Looking at this peaceful atmosphere, Ling Yu smiled happily.

"Master, are the four major prefectures and counties in Zhongshan County so lively during the New Year?"

"Well, this place is different from Zhengyi. It has its own festivals and customs. Look at this river." Ling Yu pointed to the winding river. Later, my father felt that this name was not grand enough, so he changed his name to Zhongshan County."

"No wonder this river is called the Gourd River. Gourd Villa, Gourd Bank, and Gourd Inn all sound very interesting." Na Lanling followed Ling Yu as he walked through the streets and alleys of Zhongshan County. past?Or she's been here before.

She was walking absent-mindedly, but the people began to greet her.

"Hello, Boss Ling."

She nodded puzzled.

"Miss Ling is well."

"Okay." She looked at those people inexplicably, she didn't know them at all, why did she want to say hello to herself

"It seems that you have been here for a long time, and the people are familiar with you." Ling Yu found that Nalan Ling had changed a lot. Even if she was mischievous in front of her occasionally, she was silent and stern when facing others.

"Strange, why are they so enthusiastic today." She usually travels low-key, except for business matters, she rarely interacts with people.

She just wanted to have a quiet time with Ling Yu'an.Just as he was thinking, a group of children with candied gourd figures passed by and saw Nalan Ling bowing, "Hi, Princess."

Nalan Ling looked at the cute child and wanted to be pleasant, but when she heard the word wangfei, she turned cold, "What wangfei?"

The children laughed and ran away noisily.Nalan Ling looked back at Ling Yu, her face was gloomy, she was not angry but full of majesty.

"Master, the children are talking nonsense, don't get me wrong."

Ling Yu remained silent, and walked forward alone. Nalan Ling hurriedly followed, explaining: "Master, I am not a princess, really not."

"Men are unmarried and women are unmarried. You live in the palace every day. It is normal to be misunderstood to become a concubine." Ling Yu walked faster and faster, angry without knowing it, and said these innocuous words, seemingly calmly, In fact, there were already ripples in his heart.

Chang An originally wanted to marry Ling'er, he liked her and loved her beyond words, anyone with a discerning eye could tell. He's 22 years old and hasn't married yet, and there's still a Miss Huang waiting in his boudoir, because he has never been married, and he hangs around Ling'er every day, what is it if he is not infatuated?

"Master, master, wait for me." Nalan Ling stepped on the place where Ling Yu walked, and unconsciously stepped on Ling Yu's footprints at the same time. She said "Hello Princess".

Ling Yu couldn't hear the word wangfei, walked non-stop, and turned into the gourd garden.This is an open garden in Zhongshan County. On weekdays, the palace sends people to take care of it, and the common people can walk and play in the garden by themselves.

After the snow, the gourd garden was quiet, and the people who were busy welcoming the New Year were all setting up their own gourd lanterns.

"Master, I haven't become a princess yet, so you ignore me. If I really become a princess, won't you be the first to object." Nalan Ling caught up panting, and she didn't know why Master's footsteps were so slow. Quickly, as if using light kung fu on his feet, he disappeared in a swish.

Ling Yu's face suddenly sank, and his cold eyes turned to Nalan Ling, "You mean, you want to be a princess?"

"If I become a princess, should I change my name and call Master my sister?"

Ling Yu didn't say a word, since the people spread it by word of mouth, there must be rumors, and now that Ling'er is still talking like this, could it be that Chang'an proposed to Ling'er?

"Master, why don't you talk again? After the deal, let's go out and relax."

"Ling'er~"

"Eh?" Nalan Ling leaned forward with a smile on her face.Ling Yu looked serious, and said seriously: "Let me ask you, do you want to be my apprentice, or do you want to be my brother... brother and sister..."

"Siblings?" Nalan Ling went around to figure out the relationship. Whether it was siblings or the concubine, she felt awkward.

But she hasn't thought about that matter yet. The business matter has been put on hold for several days. A group of craftsmen are waiting to start the work. Should she let the imperial court retreat behind the scenes? , we must make up our minds as soon as possible.

Seeing Nalan Ling's indecision, Ling Yu thought she was thinking about the princess's affairs, and her resentment deepened.

"Master, my lord has mentioned this matter to me, and I'm still considering it."

Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if his soul had been hooked, and his whole body was in a trance like falling straight down.She said she was thinking about it, she was actually thinking about marrying Chang'an...

What I once thought was impossible has become a reality, and the worries that linger in my ears and my heart still happen.As a sister, as a master, what else can she say?

What is heart like ashes, probably so.She once said that as long as Ling'er is alive, she can pay everything, but the current price is too heavy, so heavy that she can't breathe.

The sky is going to be dusk, the snow dances wildly, and the snow in the gourd garden is like catkins fluttering.Ling Yu's hazy figure was reflected on the frozen lake, she remained silent, no matter how teased Nalan Ling was, she didn't smile.

In the gourd garden, the peach and plum groves grow side by side, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrant snow is like a sea, covered with light snow, which is so beautiful.

Ling Yu walks in the plum forest in despair, not interested in enjoying the scenery, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they can't warm her heart and catch her eyes.

"Master~" Nalan Ling dragged her coquettish ending, and Ling Yu continued walking as if she didn't hear it. She sighed dejectedly. She really couldn't figure out Master's temperament, and suddenly became unhappy for some reason.

Such a beautiful scenery made her ignore it, Nalan Ling rested her chin in thought, looking at the dead branches of the peach forest, thinking about it.She flew up familiarly, jumping back and forth among the peach trees, although her memory was lost, but Taying Feiliu played with ease.

"Master, you taught me this lightness work?" After finishing speaking, she landed on a small branch, as stable as Mount Tai, she didn't even know why she teased her like this, this kind of lightness work is not easy to walk on snow like the wind , maybe it can comfort Master?

Ling Yu's beautiful eyes did not move, she just stood by the lake in a daze.No matter how calm the lake is, there will be ripples, and no matter how calm people are, there will be turmoil in their hearts. As long as there is love in their hearts, they will be troubled by it and mourn its loss, just like her heart at this moment, which is low in the dust.

"It's too much, ignore me!" Nalan Ling was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet, but she stood on the branch and couldn't move around. She tapped her toes and landed on the tree trunk, picked up a handful of snow and angrily sprinkled it on Ling Yu.

She thought that Ling Yu would dodge it cleverly, but the snow ball just landed on top of her head, blooming flowers among the silver threads, melting into one color.Ling Yu looked back, his eyes were like cold stars, seeming to be angry, Nalan Ling's feet slipped and fell to the ground in shock.

Ling Yu instinctively wanted to pick her up, but thinking that Nalan Ling's qinggong would really fall, maybe it was on purpose, so she stopped.

"Ouch~" Nalan Ling only felt his ankle creak, and gasped in pain.

"Ling'er!" Ling Yu rushed forward with a start, and Nalan Ling suddenly folded his arms, closed his eyes and shouted: "I was wrong, don't throw me into the water."

Ling Yu was stunned, her heart was beating wildly, and she looked at her absent-mindedly, "You, what did you say?"

"I... what did I say?" Nalan Ling recovered and remembered her inexplicable sentence.

"What do you remember?" Ling Yu looked expectant, even a little nervous, did she remember?Do you remember being thrown into the lotus pond when you were eight years old because you threw a peach from a tree, or did you remember being thrown into the crocodile pond by yourself in Lingyun Pavilion?Otherwise, why would she suddenly say this?

Ling Yu had never expected her to recover her memory so much, and when she was in a frosty mood, she gave her a little hope.

"No, could it be that Master often threw me into the water before?"

Ling Yu couldn't help laughing, how could she remember it, it's a blessing not to lose half of her life after walking through the gate of hell, don't you expect her to remember everything, and the world is perfect?

She is greedy, she shouldn't be greedy.

Ling Yu sighed weakly: "Master promised you that he would not throw you into the water again, not to mention that the lake is frozen, how can we throw you in."

"I'm heavy. If you throw me in, maybe the ice surface will crack, and maybe a few fish will be blown up." Nalan Ling's words made Ling Yu laugh, and she finally turned from sadness to laughter, but the faint sadness was still the same. Like dark clouds, gathered between the eyebrows.

Ling Yu noticed that Nalan Ling kept stroking his ankle, "Is your foot hurt?"

"I don't know, it hurts a bit."

"Let me take a look." Ling Yu checked her ankle, and gently poked her fingers, but it was swollen.She reprimanded heartbrokenly: "The practice of lightness kung fu is in vain, isn't it? You can fall and hurt yourself at this height."

"I'm distracted. Master, you ignore me. I'm acting like a big show by myself. I thought you would catch me."

"I thought you wouldn't fall." Ling Yu frowned even tighter. She was fussing over something with a child, and she was secretly angry, competing with her. Now that she was hurt, it's not because she feels so distressed.

What did she do wrong after losing her memory?She had done nothing wrong, and it was really wrong for him to be angry with her.

"Master, if you are unhappy, you can tell me, don't you think it, I am also self-righteous, but in the end, look, it hurts my foot." After that, she pointed at her ankle and said: "It's okay. I don't know if your sacrifice can be exchanged for Master's beautiful smile, if you ignore me again, I will have to go to the moon for nine days."

Ling Yu smiled lightly, and her gloomy mood gradually disappeared. She took Nalan Ling's arm and said softly, "Get up and see if you can go."

"I'll try." Nalan Ling stepped forward with her right foot, and fell down in pain as soon as she hit the ground. Ling Yu held her firmly, bent down, and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

"Master is so thin, I don't want it anymore." Nalan Ling was reluctant to press on her thin back.

"It's not that I haven't carried you on my back, come up quickly."

"Master also carried me before? When and under what circumstances did he carry me? Sprained foot? Injured?" Nalan Ling asked four times with great interest, causing Ling Yu to shake her head helplessly. Pull Nalan Ling on his back.

There was a long string of footprints left in the gourd garden. Ling Yu was walking in the snow with Nalan Ling on her back. She leaned against Ling Yu, feeling an indescribable joy in her heart. What kind of mood is this?Nalan Ling couldn't describe it, it was as sweet as eating candy when she was a child.

Ling Yu's three thousand silver threads, with a faint fragrance, made her intoxicated.Immersed in this boundless tenderness, Nalan Ling suddenly remembered, for a person like Master who is cold outside and hot inside, I don't know if there is anyone he likes, what kind of person can have her heart?

"Master~"

"Huh?" Ling Yu walked lightly, taking extra care with every step, for fear that the soles of his feet would slip and hurt Nalan Ling again.

"Do you have someone you like?" Nalan Ling tilted her head, she could only see Ling Yu's side face, but she could clearly feel her slightly raised eyebrows, "Yes."

Nalan Ling's heart sank, an inexplicable soreness spread all over her body, her mood suddenly plummeted, and she faltered: "Then, is he treating you well?"

"She is the most beautiful person in the world, and she is also the one who treats me best." When Ling Yu said this, his smile deepened. There was happiness and warmth in that tender tone, which made Nalan Ling feel uncomfortable.

"Then..." Nalan Ling hesitated for a moment, but still asked what she was thinking, "Then you are not with him now, do you miss him?"

"I think about it when we are together, and think about it all the time when we are not together." Ling Yu replied without thinking.

Nalan Ling's heart seemed to be pricked by something, it hurt, her brows were furrowed, and she became irritable for no reason, "Put me down."

"what happened?"

"Master, let me down first."

Ling Yu had no choice but to put her down carefully, Nalan Ling gave her an angry look, "I don't want you to carry it, I'll go by myself." After saying that, he limped forward with his painful foot.

"How do you go like this, the master will carry you on your back."

"I don't want it! Don't worry about it, I can't disturb you thinking about the person you like." After she finished speaking, she raised her head and endured the pain as she walked. Basin of cold water, no longer in any mood.

Ling Yu looked at her back in puzzlement, her sudden temper came without warning, what's wrong with this girl, this is...
