Chapter 169 It Wasn't Her Who Was Looking For

After two rains, the entire Forbidden Garden seemed to have entered winter overnight.Xu Jiao put on a wind cloak so that he would not feel the chill in his bones.

On the return trip, she didn't think about riding a horse, so she got into the carriage obediently.Lifting the curtain of the car and looking at the mountains and forests not far away that are still bathed in thin mist, it may be that the mood is different, and the joy of watching when I came here is completely gone.

She met Xu Yu who was dressed in men's clothes not far away, and the emotions in the latter's eyes were inexplicably complicated. Xu Jiao guessed that she had probably heard the rumors that were raging these days, and she sighed, that's all. What can she say now?He walked around the crowd for a few more times, but he didn't see He Lianshu or Jing Qin. They seemed to have disappeared after returning from the forest.But that day, Su Le sent the wound medicine before Li Xue went to look for Su Le, which was naturally He Lianshu's order.

Putting down the car curtain, Xu Jiao closed his eyes and regained his composure.Both Hongying and Lingxue knew that she was in a bad mood, and no one dared to disturb her.

After a while, the carriage started to run unsteadily.

After more than ten days of autumn, this is the end.Some people gained, some lost, and some people ended their beautiful years and lives in this mountain forest. They only came, but never returned. Even her name will be buried and forgotten soon.

Back in Feng'an City, it was also raining for days, and the sky seemed to leak until the day of Wei Wuniang's funeral.

She died without getting married, and it was considered a murderous death, so she couldn't do anything about it.

The Duke of Wei’s Mansion specially invited eminent monks from the Hongfa Temple to do a water and land training for 15 days. In the early morning of the [-]th, they carried her directly to the ancestral grave of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, but she couldn’t even enter the ancestral grave. It can only be buried in an open space next to the ancestral grave.

In the past, Xu Jiao was an atheist. He always felt that death was like a lamp being extinguished. After death, he burned it directly, sprinkled it in the mud, and nourished flowers and trees.But it wasn't until the real face-to-face that I realized that my heart would still be sad and reluctant.The sadness that had fermented in my heart since knowing the news of Wei Wuniang's death brewed into a deeper sense of powerlessness, entangled in my heart.

Both Xu Jiao and Wang Wan were dressed in plain clothes, and they followed the funeral procession of the Duke of Wei's mansion not too far or near, and stood at a distance after going up the mountain, until the coffin was buried and the tomb door was sealed. After a hasty sacrifice, they all evacuated. It was not lively at all, and it was even more deserted at this time.

Wei Wuniang was originally a very lively person, but she went so deserted.Both Xu Jiao and Wang Wan felt a little uncomfortable.

As if to suit the occasion, the rain that had stopped for a while actually started to fall again, with a continuous, continuous patter.

Only then did Xu Jiao and Wang Wan walk to the tomb together. Wang Wan brought a lot of food, each of which was packed in delicate small plates and placed in a food box. At this moment, she took out the plates and placed them in front of the tomb. He smiled and said, "Wu Niang, Ajiao and I came to see you. These are the foods you like on weekdays, and I brought them for you specially, as well as a pot of good wine. Didn't you always think about it before?" Do you want to have a drink with Ajiao and get her down? Today we have to open our stomachs to drink, and we won’t go home until we’re drunk.”

Xu Jiao also squatted down in front of the tomb, "Wu Niang, I promised you to draw a picture for you earlier, now I can draw it, take a look, do you like it? If you don't like it, you can tell me in a dream at night, I I will draw you again."

Xu Jiao took out the painting he had drawn before, and Wei Wuniang leaped onto the paper, smiling sweetly, with a heroic figure, a top-grade meticulous figure, but Xu Jiao didn't hesitate at all, directly lit it up, watching It was swallowed inch by inch by the flames and burned to ashes...

Coming down from the mountain, Xu Jiao felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Almost at the same time, there was a sound of relief in his ears. Xu Jiao turned his head and met Wang Wan's eyes. The two couldn't help but smile. I smile.

Wang Wan held Xu Jiao's hand, handed an object to her palm, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, Master Liaojue of Hongfa Temple went to the palace to give a lecture on Buddhism to the Empress Dowager, and I specially asked him to bless the peace talisman , this is for you, you take it with you, don’t leave your body, it will surely save you from bad luck to good fortune, and make disaster auspicious.”

The peace talisman was placed in a delicate purse, it was Wang Wan's needlework, Xu Jiao recognized it, took it, thanked her, and put it in the lapel of her clothes with great care.

Seeing this, Wang Wan couldn't help but smile.

The two held hands and continued to walk down, "How are you recently?"

"That's it. It's very easy to accompany the Empress Dowager every day, read to her, and talk to her. How about you, Ajiao?"

"I, besides going to the Princess's mansion these days, I haven't gone out much."

"This autumn, there's been a lot of rain, and it's getting colder every day. You should pay attention to changing your clothes, so you don't catch a cold."

"You don't have to worry about me, your body is much weaker than mine, and you are recovering from a serious illness, so you must take good care of yourself."

"I said, I won't be sick again, you don't have to worry."

The two went down the mountain while chatting.

"Princess!" Suddenly, Neg Xue approached Xu Jiao's ear and whispered.

Xu Jiao raised his head, with a smile in his eyes.

There are several people standing under a hawthorn tree at the foot of the mountain, one of them is wearing black clothes, and a big black horse is beside him. The place that can be seen at a glance in the crowd is actually the place that has not been seen since that day in the Forbidden Garden. Helen Shu.

Su Le had strode over, Xu Jiao smiled, and was about to go forward, Su Le stopped, and bowed to Xu Jiao and Wang Wan, but Xu Jiao was stunned. With dazed eyes, he turned his head and said to Wang Wan, "Master Shoukang County, our governor, please take a moment to speak."

It wasn't her who was looking for?
Xu Jiao was stunned, unable to express what kind of feeling he felt in his heart for a moment, suddenly raised his eyes and looked under the hawthorn tree——

He Lianshu also looked at her, his eyes met her, but there was no change in the slightest, it was still as cold as before, and when he touched her, he turned away again.

Compared to Xu Jiao's astonishment, although Wang Wan was a little surprised, she was very calm, but after a few breaths of silence, she turned her head and looked at He Lianshu under the hawthorn tree. After nodding, she looked at Xu Jiao and said, "Ah bright……"

"You go! I'll wait for you here!" Xu Jiao smiled and glanced under the hawthorn tree, but He Lianshu no longer looked this way, but turned to look north.

Wang Wan nodded, turned around and followed Su Le, and walked under the hawthorn tree together.

"Princess?" Negative Xue frowned and whispered, with doubts and slight dissatisfaction between her brows.

Xu Jiao raised his hand to stop her, but his eyes were still fixed on the hawthorn tree. He Lianshu and Wang Wan greeted each other and talked under the tree.

What are you talking about, you can't hear clearly from such a distance, and Su Le and the others are also hiding far away. There is light rain on the moor, and the mountains are hazy and dark in the distance. A man and a woman are standing opposite each other under a tree. , So cold and proud, the woman is delicate and elegant, gentle and quiet, at first glance, it is really a pair of people, they can match like a painting.
