That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1038

When I came to Feishuang Hall, there were all old people who had followed Xiao Zhinan for many years, and they all knew Xu Beiyou and Xiao Yuanying. It happened that Qiu Guang was on duty here today, and he had already greeted him, "Emperor son-in-law, you are back."

Xu Beiyou smiled, and pointed to the little cat behind him, "Not only am I back, but I also brought back these two little thieves."

Xiao Yuanying snorted softly, and Ban Lan glanced at him rather dissatisfied.

Xu Beiyou laughed it off.

Qiu Guang held back his smile, "Emperor son-in-law, this servant will inform Her Royal Highness the princess for you."

"No need." Xu Beiyou waved his hands, turned to Xiao Yuanying and said, "Yuanying, you and Qiu Guang are here to accompany the Dragon King. I'll go in and see your sister."

Xiao Yuanying nodded.

Xu Beiyou walked straight into the hall.

When he finally appeared outside the pavilion, Xiao Zhinan suddenly sensed his arrival.

She turned around abruptly, looked at him, her lips moved slightly.

After a while, a smile from the heart filled her face, and she said softly, "I'm back."

Xu Beiyou also smiled and said, "I'm back."

The two looked at each other smiling.

Then, there was a moment of silence between the two, Xiao Zhinan first suppressed the smile on his face in embarrassment, and then couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Finally, the two couldn't help laughing together.

After the reunion, the two were speechless for a long time.

But no words are worth a thousand words.

After a long time, Xu Beiyou said slowly, "How many months have I been away this time? It's been about half a year."

Xiao Zhinan said softly, "Five months and twelve days."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "Time really flows like water."

Xiao Zhinan sighed softly, "Yeah, it's another year in the blink of an eye,"

Xu Beiyou looked down at the wet ground and Xiao Zhinan's bare feet. He also took off his dry and muddy boots and walked barefoot into the water pavilion.

The husband and wife sat together by the fence, with the sparkling water outside.

Xu Beiyou put his hands on his knees, looked at the rippling blue waves, and said with emotion: "Jiangnan is good. I went to Jiangnan at the most favorable season in the world, and returned to the imperial capital in this bleak autumn season. Spring goes and autumn comes. The 24th year of Taiping is about to pass."

Xiao Zhinan half-hid his hands in his wide cuffs, but looked gently at Xu Beiyou's side face, and said softly, "Do you still remember the 20th year of Taiping? In the early spring, the two of us met for the first time in Danxiazhai. In the fall, we will meet for the second time at the Prince Liao's Mansion in Mutang, at that time I treat you to a crab meal and make an appointment for ten rounds."

Thinking of what happened back then, Xu Beiyou felt warm in his heart, "I remember, how could I not remember, the autumn crabs that year were really fat, and it was the first time I ate crabs, and you still told me that when the autumn wind blows, the crab legs itch, and the chrysanthemum yellow crabs The fat is thick in autumn. In autumn, it is a pity not to eat crabs. Although those crabs are self-raised by the Liao Palace, they are not as good as those in Suzhou, Jiangnan, but they have a special flavor. Then you take out a set of eight crabs, lightly Knocking and peeling slowly, I am amazed."

Xu Beiyou couldn't help laughing and said: "At that time, in my opinion, it was really amazing. There are so many sayings about eating a crab. It is indeed a child from the top rich family in the world."

Xiao Zhinan punched him lightly.

Xu Beiyou took her hand and pressed the back of his wife's hand to his cheek, and said softly, "At that time, Mu Tangzhi was stalking me, asking if I was interested, and he wanted to be a matchmaker."

Xiao Zhinan couldn't help asking, "How did you answer?"

Xu Beiyou looked at his wife, and said with a smile, "I told him, this kind of noble girl doesn't dare to ask for extravagance."

Xiao Zhinan withdrew his palm and snorted softly, "Don't dare to ask you to go to Jiangnan to meet me?"

Of course Xu Beiyou would not be so stupid as to say "Even without you, I would definitely go to Jiangnan to fulfill Master's last wish". Since there is nothing to say at this time, it is best not to say anything, but the best way , or turn her mind away, don't get entangled in these things.

Immediately, he leaned back against the railing and let out a soft grunt.

As expected, Xiao Zhinan was very concerned about him, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Xu Beiyou said solemnly: "It's okay, it's just a little injury, it's nothing."

Then he took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand to grab his wife's catkin, Xiao Zhinan wanted to break free, but Xu Beiyou held on tightly, and she was afraid that Xu Beiyou might be injured, so she didn't dare to use her cultivation, so she let him hold it.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "I didn't want to go back to the imperial capital, but went directly to Biyou Island, but thinking of you and the old man, I still feel that I should go back to the imperial capital to see you first. I can't learn."

"So I came back. Coincidentally, when I first arrived in Yanzhou, I met Yuanying and Banlan, and the matter of Buddhism was involved. I had to go to the summer palace on the border of Yanzhou, and then I came back. A little later."

Only then did Xiao Zhinan think of Xiao Yuanying and the others, and hurriedly got up and said, "Yuanying is back too."

Xu Beiyou pushed her down again, then squatted down, and put on the embroidered shoes for her with his own hands.

Xiao Zhinan sat quietly, watching her husband's actions with gentle eyes, but when he noticed his full head of white hair, he couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart.

After the two put on their shoes, they walked out of the water pavilion side by side. There is still a long distance from the front hall. After walking for a while, Xu Beiyou just smiled and kept looking at the people around him. Xiao Zhinan felt his gaze and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? It's not the first time seeing me."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Although it's not the first time, I can't get enough of it."

Xiao Zhinan pretended to be angry and said: "But I haven't seen you for two days, and you just learn to be glib. Are you messing with flowers outside?"

Xu Beiyou was slightly taken aback, and suddenly his heart softened inexplicably, all steel making would turn into tender fingers.

160 For two days, he couldn't remember how many days he had been away, but she remembered clearly, and one day was not bad.

It made Xu Beiyou feel a little guilty.

Seeing Xu Beiyou in a daze, Xiao Zhinan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Xu Beiyou came back to his senses, stared at Zhinan again, smiled, and said with a strange expression, "Suddenly I remembered a saying called Xiao Bie Sheng's newly married."

Xiao Zhinan was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered the wedding night back then, and immediately understood Xu Beiyou's intentions. They became husband and wife, but they were still flushed, spit lightly, and raised their hands to fight.

Xu Beiyou sideways avoided, said with a smile: "Wife beats husband, that's the behavior of a shrew!"

Xiao Zhinan was furious, ignoring his usual gentle demeanor, reached out and grabbed his ear, "Who do you call a shrew?"

Xu Beiyou begged for mercy: "Qiu Guang and Yuan Ying are waiting outside. Elder Xie Ge will come over later. You must not lose your dignity as a princess."

Xiao Zhinan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his deliberately low-key appearance.

Now she is very happy.

Happier than ever.
