into the bosom

Chapter 462 Farewell and Return (The Finale)

The peace and tranquility of the present world at this moment softened the smile on her face a lot.

"Ashu..."

"Ok?"

"When Doctor Jiang comes to see me and make sure I'm fine, let's go back to the grassland! I'm homesick."

Home!Mo Chuohe softened his eyes because of the word in her mouth, and replied softly, "Okay."

"The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Let's look at the scenery along the way, return to the grassland all the way, and welcome the birth of our child at our home..."

"Ah."

"What do you think, will he be a boy or a girl?"

"Will it be like you, or like me?"

The two sat on the couch leaning against each other, the breeze was blowing, sending a faint fragrance of flowers, and the first tassel on the branch bloomed quietly when Xu Jiao woke up.

The sun breaks through the clouds and enters through the window, as if even the light of the sky is particularly fond of them, coating the pair of beautiful shadows with a soft halo, and the shadows cast on the wall are entangled together, you melt into me, I am Melt in you, gradually become one, no longer separated.

Princess Huiming came out of Mingyue Residence, but did not leave immediately, but went to another place.

After walking under the eaves, she could hear laughter from inside the house. She paused before taking another step.When he reached the door, he stopped again, just looking at the situation inside the house from the opened curtain.

Wang Wan, who was chatting and laughing with the eldest princess in the room, raised her eyes, seeing Princess Huiming, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Princess Huiming."

The eldest princess sat with her back facing the door. Hearing the movement, she was slightly startled, then got up, and looked over with a calm expression, but the joyful smile on her face just now has quietly faded.

The eyes of the two princesses collided silently in the air, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.

"I still have to tell others about Ajiao's waking up, so I'll take my leave first." Wang Wan found an excuse, then turned and left.

After the sound of footsteps faded away, the eldest princess pointed to the vacant seat separated by the kang table, and said in a calm tone, "Sit down!"

Princess Huiming hesitated a little, but still walked over, sat down, and looked at the cloth that the eldest princess was tidying up. It was three-suo cloth, the softest, suitable for making inner clothes for babies. "It seems that sister already knows that Xu Jiao is awake, and she must be worried about it, why don't you go and see?"

"I'm thinking about Ajiao, but it's not easy for them as a young couple. After going through so many things, they must have a lot to say after walking in front of the palace of the king of hell. Why should I bother at this time. Anyway, Ajiao It’s all right, I’m relieved, and it’s the same when I go to see it later.”

The eldest princess had a calm smile on her face, and her brows and eyes had always been filled with resolute heroism and hardness. She had never experienced such softness and calmness, as if all her beauty had been washed away overnight. strangeness.

"Sister seems to have changed a lot."

"It's not that I've changed, it's just that I've figured it out and let go. Everything in this world is caused by reincarnation, and retribution is not good. Everything has its own destiny. If you are too persistent, you will harm others and yourself. On the contrary. It's better to let it go, so you can be at ease." The eldest princess stretched her eyebrows, and the words she said were like the verses of people outside the square.

"Sister, what are your plans for the future?" Such an eldest princess made Princess Huiming feel a little at a loss, she didn't know how to say a lot of words, and always felt that those words were superfluous for the eldest princess at this time.

"Ajiao just woke up, and I haven't said it carefully yet. However, at that time outside the palace, Ajiao told me that after everything was over, let me go to the grassland with her. I agreed at that time. Now, if The plan remains the same, so naturally, of course... the premise is that you are willing to let me go." When you are outside the palace, and who you are, the speaker and the listener are all well aware.

Princess Huiming frowned suddenly, "I agreed to Xu Jiao a long time ago, and I won't hurt my sister's life. Doesn't my sister believe me?"

"If you and Li Chongwu can let me go, it would be great. The father, queen and mother have passed away, and Aaron is gone. They are sorry for you. What you repay is kindness or hatred. All the past is over. , You should also get out of the hatred." The eldest princess looked at Princess Huiming, speaking earnestly, only at this time, it seemed that she was still the old elder sister who would preach to her when she was wrong.

The corners of Princess Huiming's eyes were a little wet, she hurriedly turned her head, and quickly lifted the silk to wipe the corners of her eyes.

The eldest princess lowered her eyes at the right time, as if she had never seen it.

For a long time, there was no sound in the room.After a while, Princess Huiming said quietly, "Sister, do you know who Ajiao's husband is?"

"You want to ask me if I know the relationship between him and you?" The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning, "I have no right to comment on what you did before, whether it was right or wrong. , only this one... As a mother, but abandoning your own child, even if you have a thousand reasons, they are just excuses. You can't do that child. "

Princess Huiming blinked, her eyes were red and wet again, she lowered her eyes hastily, at the same time a tear rolled down from her long eyelashes, and landed on her skirt with a thud, leaving a dark trace on it .

"I know." Her voice was hoarse, "That child... I really owe him, and his temperament is like that... In the future, I'm afraid sister will need to be more tolerant and take care of him."

After finishing speaking, she didn't hear the Eldest Princess' answer for a long while, she hurriedly raised her eyes, and what she met was the Eldest Princess's quiet eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Princess Huiming snorted, "I know sis, it was unnecessary for me. The grassland is bitterly cold, and I'm afraid we won't see each other again after this trip, sis... take care." She stood up, With a spin of his heels, his footsteps were so hurried that he sprinted out hastily.

"A-Ning!" Just as she was about to go out, the eldest princess still raised her voice to stop her. She didn't look back, and heard the voice of the eldest princess slowly sounding behind her, "The teacher who never forgets the past, Mr. Why did Wei die, I hope you can take it as a warning, forget you to mention Li Chongwu a lot, don't forget his promise when he started the incident, don't forget the principle that water can carry a boat and also capsize it, the people of the Central Plains, it is time to Rest and rest."

Princess Huiming stepped out, listened to the words, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, her steps gradually became firmer.

Looking at her steady back, the eldest princess raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, "Since it's the path you chose, you can take it for yourself."

The spring breeze sweeps across the land, as if it blows away the haze and the end of winter over Feng'an overnight, and wakes up the trees, flowers, grasses and buds.The peach blossoms and willows are green, and there is life everywhere. It is always joyful to look at, just like this land of the Central Plains, which has experienced turmoil and wars and finally settled down and ushered in the new life.

With the return of spring, the bustle of Feng'an City has gradually recovered. A restaurant on Zhengyang Street welcomed distinguished guests as soon as it opened. The most expensive wine in the altar, the distinguished guest waved away the others, and Gu Zi leaned half on the side of the fence, drinking the wine and reciting poems at the same time.

"The peach blossoms are rich in the rain, and the willows and greens bring the morning smoke..." There was just a drizzle last night, and the red greens all over the city seemed to be full of rain, and they were even more red and green. This poem is now Yinlai, it's also very suitable for the occasion.

After singing, he said "good poem" very complacently, smiled and raised his head and took another sip of wine, shaking it, the wine in the wine jar in his hand was gurgling, and it was running out.

"Even though I knew I was going back to the Jingfu today, my elder brother avoided coming out early in the morning. Is he really trying to imitate Wang Mojie's free and easy birth, or is he afraid of saying goodbye?" A soft voice came from the stairs, Xu Jiao Carrying the skirt, she walked slowly up to the Kuo Xuan on the second floor.

Jing Duo, who was dressed in colorful clothes at the railing, squinted his drunken eyes and looked over, and said with a smile, "Why is it so serious, it's just a farewell, I've said goodbye to you countless times in my heart, so what if this time is missing? And ah, I can't hide from you even here, isn't this a lingering ghost?"

Xu Jiao was not offended by his words, and sat across the table from him with her skirt on.

Jing Duo looked at her for a moment, then sat up straight after all, took a wine cup on the table, and filled a glass for her, "Since you're here, let's have a drink, after all these years, I'm afraid there won't be any more." When we meet again, I wish you all the best and success." After finishing speaking, Jing Duo raised the wine jar in his hand and took a sip.

"I'm pregnant, so I can't drink." Xu Jiao looked down at the wine glass and said softly.

Jing Duo was startled, "Yeah, I forgot, look at my incomprehensible uncle, I'm sorry!" The latter sentence was addressed to Xu Jiaoshang's flat belly, "In this way, uncle punishes himself, Self-punishment!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, took the glass of wine, raised his head, and drank it down in one gulp.

While putting down the wine glass, he also turned his head, and saw Mo Chuohe standing with folded arms under a willow tree on the opposite side of the tavern. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Why didn't he follow?"

"He knew that I had something to say to my elder brother alone, so he just said to wait for me below." Following his line of sight, Xu Jiao also looked at Mo Chuohe, and his eyes were filled with a soft smile .

Jing Duo glanced at her, his throat moved, he raised his hand and took another sip of wine, squinted his drunken eyes, and said softly, "You have a good vision."

Xu Jiao blinked, and looked at him in surprise, this was the first time he heard him recognize Mo Chuohe.

"Is everything packed? When is the departure time?" Jing Duo raised his hand and took another sip of wine. His eyes were blurred and he looked at the scenery outside. The peach blossoms and willows are green and the crowds are bustling. Feng'an City is slowly recovering its vitality. One day Every day, it will return to its previous appearance, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival night when they met side by side, the fireworks in the world they saw, the bustle and bustle, prosperity and abundance.

"The day after tomorrow." The things that should be packed in the past few days have been packed, and the goodbyes have been said one by one. It's time to go.

"The day after tomorrow, I have prepared some things for you and your unborn nephew..."

"When I just returned home, my sister-in-law gave it to me."

Jing Duo's expression froze slightly, and he said again, "That's good. Since that's the case, as you said, I don't like to say goodbye. I won't see you off in the future. I will cherish it all the way." He looked into her eyes With a thin smile, he took a deep look at her, turned his head away, and raised the wine jar in his hand that was about to bottom out.

This time, the wine jar was held down by someone's hand. He turned his head and saw Xu Jiao's clear eyes, "Drinking too much will hurt your health. Now the big thing is settled. The Jing family is fine. Big brother...you can do it." Live more sober."

"Sober?" Jing Duo sneered, "I was living too sober at the beginning, but I think it's better to be drunk and dreamy, and live a better life. Besides, Jing Duo should be like this, isn't it?"

"That's right, Jing Duo was the one who survived." Xu Jiao looked at him, finally smiled slightly, and whispered this sentence.

Even though it was a plain sentence, Jing Duo froze suddenly, and looked at Xu Jiao in a daze.

Xu Jiao looked back at him and smiled, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes, "If he knew that only Jing Duo survived, then he might as well live by himself. At least, he can still guard the woman he loves." , so as not to make her sad."

"I thought that big brother was a transparent person. Earlier, he deliberately acted in order to make people careless. Because of you, the Jing family survived this turmoil safely, but you, unexpectedly became With this appearance, do you feel that it would be easier for you to live like him? Do you feel that you have redeemed yourself?"

Jing Duo looked at her, sighed, took down the teapot that had been kept warm but no one cared about it, and poured her a cup of tea, "You are pregnant, so don't be so angry, drink a cup of tea to calm down .”

Xu Jiao looked at him, his chest heaved rapidly, after a while, he finally picked up the cup of tea and sipped it in small sips, finally calming down the anger in his heart.

"That day, he got me drunk and told me a lot... But when I woke up again, I could only wear his mask to live. He always felt that he was doing it for the good of the Jing family, but he never asked me will..."

"So, you have resentment in your heart, so you take your current appearance to revenge him?"

"No!" Jing Duo categorically denied, "I'm just..." The following words were quietly reclusive, and Jing Duo's eyes looked dazed whether it was because of drunkenness or something else.Perhaps, even he himself didn't know what he was doing.

On that day, only one of Jing Duo and Jing Qin survived.He also couldn't tell whether he was Jing Duo or Jing Qin.That person used his life to trap him in this name forever, unable to advance or retreat.

"He didn't give you a choice, but made his own decision. It's really his fault. You should be scolded! I've already gone to his grave and scolded him severely. He is a coward and thinks that only you can afford the Jing family , So, I escaped in such a self-important way, but if it wasn't for him, would the Jing family have escaped this catastrophe, would they have today?"

"But what is the difference between you and him now? Grandpa and grandma are old and have lost their sons and grandchildren. You have the heart to let them grow old and worry about you all the time?"

"And Yinyin... Since you are married to her, if you can't accept her, then go to her and confess everything, tell her clearly that you are not the person she was waiting for, and make her give up."

"If you don't choose this option, since you have put on Jing Duo's skin, you will thoroughly do what he should do and take on the responsibilities he should fulfill. Whether it is the Jing family or Yin Yin, as you said, The one who survived that day was originally Jing Duo."

Jing Duo's hand holding the wine jar seemed to lose all strength, and with a bang, the wine jar knocked against the edge of the table.

Xu Jiao glanced at the wine jar, then at Jing Duo, who seemed to have lost his mind, a look of unbearableness flashed in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "I came here today to say goodbye, I didn't expect to be with big brother Saying these things, but... this is the last time around. From now on, big brother doesn’t need to listen to my preaching, so he will bear with me this time. From now on, I can’t see how big brother acts, so you can do it yourself , take care of yourself!"

"You have such a temper..." Jing Duo laughed lightly, "It's a good thing you're already married, so I'm afraid only Mo Chuohe can stand you."

Looking at the smile on his face, Xu Jiao was a little dazed, and lowered her eyes. She had been angry with him for a long time, but he was fine, neither annoyed nor angry.

"I have heard what you said today, and I will think about it carefully. Since you are leaving, you can leave without worries! The Jing family... I will take care of it. The grassland is bitter and cold, so you have to take good care of it. Myself. As for the future... It may not be impossible to meet each other. I can’t say when I will go to the northern capital. Then you have to treat me well as a landlord. But it’s agreed, the dishes are secondary, and the wine must be Well done! And you have to take care of it enough!" Jing Duo said with a smile, like an ordinary brother who wants to send his sister off on a long journey.

Looking at him like this, Xu Jiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, Beijing is short of everything else, except for wine. When you come, I'll let you drink to your heart's content."

"But don't come empty-handed, you have to bring a gift. You may not bring it to me, but you must not forget your little nephew. The more food and play, the better."

Jing Duo glanced at her, helplessly, "Is there someone as thick-skinned as you who asks for a gift before something happens? You still use the child in your stomach as an excuse."

"Where is the excuse? I am now a mother, so naturally I put the child first in everything. The elder brother has not become a father, so naturally he will not understand. Speaking of... When the elder brother has a child, I will not be stingy A gift for my little nephew."

One sentence silenced Jing Duo's voice, but there was no obvious expression of resistance on his face. As the only seedling of the Jing family, it will be a matter of time and he must fulfill his responsibility to continue the incense.

"Let's go!" Jing Duo said softly after a few breaths of silence, "If you don't go, your family may not be able to wait."

Xu Jiao looked down the stairs following his line of sight, just in time to see Mo Chuohe looking up, her eyes met, and she smiled slightly with the corners of her lips curled up.

"Big brother, take care!" She Shi Shiran stood up and said softly.

"Yeah." Jing Duo nodded slightly.

Xu Jiao turned around and walked downstairs slowly.

Jing Duo leaned on the railing and watched, and saw Xu Jiao going downstairs to Mo Chuohe, who stretched out his hand to her, and they interlocked their fingers, looking upstairs.

Mo Chuohe silently nodded towards him, took Xu Jiao by the hand, turned and walked.

"Let's go shopping again, how about we go back to the mansion later?" Xu Jiao said softly, holding Mo Chuohe's arm.

"Okay!"

"I also want to eat sugar-fried chestnuts and bean curd. Hmm... and candied haws are also a must. Will you buy them all for me?"

"Okay!"

"Come eat with me later?"

"Uh...Okay! But...can I order salty bean curd? It's really strange for me to eat sweet bean curd."

The two walked away slowly while talking and laughing.

It wasn't until the backs of the two people could no longer be seen that Jing Duo looked back with a smile.That's great, her smile is still the same as before.Even if the person guarding the smile is not him, it is still good.

He raised the wine jar in his hand and raised it to his lips, but his movements stopped. After a while, he looked at the wine jar and smiled, put it down, stood up slowly, turned his head, Go downstairs step by step.

The wine jar that was forgotten on the table stood there alone, and he never recalled it.

"Hasn't the lord come back yet? Have someone go to the kitchen and have them stew the hangover soup. When the lord comes back, bring it over immediately, and then prepare some light food, so that he won't suffer from stomach problems again..." Although she expected that Jing Duo would not return to the mansion so early, Cui Wenyin still ordered these things in detail, just like she did every day in the past half a year.

"Mr. Lang is back." There was a bit of surprise in this voice. Mr. Lang returned to the mansion so early and appeared in the lady's room. This is an unprecedented thing, why not make people surprised?

Cui Wenyin was also surprised. She turned her head and looked at Jing Duo who was standing at the door of the room at some point, looking at her with a pair of inexplicably quiet eyes. She panicked and stood up quickly. , I didn't know where to put my hands, and I pinched them tightly in front of my body. "When did Mr. Lang come back?"

"Just now." Jing Duo replied softly. After saying that, he walked in and sat down on a chair under the inexplicable eyes of everyone in the room. A bowl of hangover soup, do you have any?"

"Yes, yes." Cui Wenyin responded hastily, then turned and told the maid beside her, "Go to the kitchen quickly and bring a bowl of hangover soup."

The maid hurriedly turned around, and Cui Wenyin said to Jing Duo again, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."

"En." Jing Duo responded in a low voice, leaning against the back of the chair, closing his eyes, frowning slightly, looking uncomfortable.

Seeing him like this, Cui Wenyin hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't hold back and reached out her hand.Unexpectedly, as soon as the soft fingertips touched his forehead, he suddenly opened his eyes. She panicked and said quickly, "I... I thought that rubbing the acupoints could relieve the headache. My father used to drink a lot. I have a headache in the back, I specially learned this rubbing technique from the doctor..." As she spoke, she hesitated to withdraw her hand.

"Then I'll have to thank you, lady." Who knows, just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Jing Duo said suddenly, and then closed her eyes again, her brows stretched, and her whole body relaxed.

Cui Wenyin couldn't believe it for a moment, and pressed it again with trembling hands.

"Thank you." She didn't know how long she pressed it, but the person under her finger fell silent, as if she had fallen asleep. When the murmured "Thank you" slipped past her ears, she almost thought it was an auditory hallucination. After she realized that it was indeed from him, tears welled up in her eyes, but it was joy that she hadn't seen for a long time and was almost forgotten by her.

The weather was beautiful, the day when Xu Jiao and the others left Feng'an, the weather was fine and the spring was bright.

At the city gate, after bidding farewell to Li Huan, Xu Wei, and Li Wei and others, their carriage and horses left the city gate in the morning light.

Xu Jiao looked back from the car window, saw the figures standing at the city gate, and said with a smile, "Li Xie didn't just talk about going to the grassland. At that time, she will be a princess of the Central Plains court. , but ran to the grassland... tsk tsk tsk, it's exciting to watch."

"You're just someone who doesn't think it's a big deal." Mo Chuihe flicked her forehead lightly, and she shrank into his arms, sticking out her tongue playfully.

Mo Chuohe smiled and raised his hand to lightly touch the top of her head, "How is it? Do you still want to vomit?" Xu Jiao now has morning sickness from time to time, and when she vomits it is very pitiful. Mo Chuohe feels distressed when she looks at it. Ask her several times.

"It's okay, the child is very good. Besides, I've heard a saying before that the child will be smarter if you have morning sickness during pregnancy..."

"Really? Is there such a saying?"

"Of course it's true, I tell you..."

Before he could finish talking, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horseshoes coming from behind. He was worried that some blind people wanted to beat him up. Mo Chuohe raised the curtain of the car and looked out, but unexpectedly He raised his eyebrows, and then, the murderous aura that had already leaked out was suppressed in an instant, and the eyebrows also eased.

"I didn't expect it to be him?" Xu Jiao also raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the person coming.

"I'll go down and have a look!" Mo Chuohe bent down and got out of the carriage, turned his head and gave Xu Jiao a cold look, "You are not allowed to go."

The curtain was lowered, Xu Jiao reacted, scolded "Stingy", but couldn't help laughing.Lifting the curtain of the car and looking out from the window, Mo Chuohe can be seen walking towards Chen Su who is chasing up to them on a fast horse.

The distance was far away, so I couldn't hear what the two said, after watching for a while, Xu Jiao lost interest, retreated into the car room, ate snacks and waited for Mo Chuohe.

Although she occasionally suffers from morning sickness, her appetite has always been good, and she often gets hungry again not long after eating, so she is sure that the child in her stomach must be a healthy and healthy child, just follow his father.

Mo Chuohe didn't walk away for a long time, and when he got into the carriage room, the carriage started to wobble again.

Xu Jiao lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and saw Chen Su driving the horse behind.

"He came to join you? Did you keep him?" Although Chen Su, the Dragon Shadow Guard of the previous court, may not have no future, it depends on how to choose. At this time, it is obvious that he has a choice, and Mo Chuohe has a choice. decided.

"Yeah." Mo Chuohe nodded, "He's not for you."

"Of course I know that he's not for me, he must be for Ah Wan." Xu Jiao said with a smile, Wang Wan has also gone through life and death now, but everything is clear.When Xu Jiao invited her, she agreed to go to the grassland with Xu Jiao.

As for Chen Su, although Wang Wan never admitted what was going on between them and Xu Jiao never asked about it, she knew it well. She was not surprised by Chen Su's appearance, but she was still happy for Wang Wan.It's just that Wang Wan is not in front of her at this time, but is in the carriage behind with the eldest princess, otherwise, she might not be able to help but tease her.

"Our team is getting bigger and bigger. I'm dragging my family and following you away. Although I'm married far away, I still have a natal family. Let's see if you dare to bully me in the future." Xu Jiao rolled into Mo Chuohe's arms, raised her small face and wrinkled her nose at him.

"I bullied you? Could it be that you have been bullying me since we met?" Mo Chuohe raised his eyebrows.

"What did you say?" Xu Jiao frowned, and punched his chest with his fists.

Mo Chuohe stretched out his big palm, wrapped her fist in it, and said with a smile in his eyes, "How dare I bully you? You are my fate, from now on, only you will bully me, okay? "

It was obviously still sarcasm, but it was full of begging and flattery. These two sentences were originally about the love of husband and wife, Xu Jiao immediately softened.

Mo Chuohe took the opportunity to pull her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, "You said a few days ago that you have a lot of things to do when you return to Beijing? What are they? Tell me?"

"Of course I have a lot to do!"

"Mother must be settled first, Ah Wan and the others. Then there are many preparations before the child is born, such as small clothes, swaddling clothes, small quilts and so on..."

"Again, I'm afraid I have to prepare for the dowry and marriage of the snow. Although I don't want to be so cheap to Su Le, but the female university will not stay, and if you stay, you will become enemies... I am afraid to continue to make things difficult, and the snow is afraid. You're going to be in a hurry with me, so it's cheaper for Su Le!"

"There are also Wentao and Hongying, and there are so many people in the Hongying Army. I have to take care of their marriage, right? Good boys from Beijie, I have to choose slowly..."

"Now there is an extra Chen Su. It is not so easy for him to marry my family, A Wan, but he has to pass me first..."

Xu Jiao crouched in Mo Chuohe's arms, stretched out his fingers one by one, and told him the details of what he had to do. Mo Chuohe looked at her with a smile, listened quietly, and added a word from time to time.

The sound of horseshoes, the rolling of wheels, under the rising sun, accompanied by voices and laughter, a group of chariots and horses drove away slowly in the morning light, heading for another journey of many people's lives.

Behind him is Feng'an City, which has become a blurred line, slowly disappearing into the horizon.
