Chapter 252

Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River is half of the city with mountains and half of the city with water.

When Su Jiu and Xiao Tingchen arrived one after another, a group of endlessly winding send-off teams arrived outside the city earlier than them.

Xie Rongzhi, who was riding on a steed, looked at the setting sun and signaled that he would rest in a villa on the outskirts of the city.

This villa is also the property of the Xie family, with black tiles and white walls, lying in the mountains and rivers, like a splashed ink painting.

After Xiao Peilan finished changing clothes and removing makeup, it was already dusk.

The girl was not in the mood for dinner, and the food brought in by the maid was brought out untouched.

Xie Rongzhi stood outside the door, "She won't eat?"

The maid wiped away her tears, "Miss hasn't eaten much since I left Jinling. Miss asked me for a jug of wine just now, I'm afraid she is trying to drown my sorrows with wine."

She suddenly cried and knelt down, "Master Xie, the young lady is not willing to marry Gu Xiliu at all, can you take the young lady away?! Just like two years ago, you took the young lady away, far away..."

Xie Rongzhi frowned.

Her gentle and jade-like face was full of helplessness.

He also wanted to take Lan Er away,
but……

However, is there anything in this world that is more important than Lan'er's life?
The seven-foot man holds the splendor and wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, but he cannot hold the hand of the woman he loves.

He closed his eyes, "Sorry."

The maid ran away crying.

Xie Rongzhi stood under the eaves, wanting to knock on the closed door, wanting to take a look at the girl who had been thinking so much, but he didn't have the courage to raise his hand at all.

He saved Lan'er's life,

But betrayed their love.

The evening light fell a little bit.

Biezhuang is full of lights.

He was still standing under the door.

The maid finally came over with a jug of wine, glanced at him, and was about to bring it into the room when Xie Rongzhi stopped her, "The spring is cold, how can cold wine get into your throat? Go, get a jug of warm wine instead."

The maid said "Oh" and left silently.

Across the door, Xiao Peilan combed her long hair like a cloud.

The girl lowered her eyelashes and called out hoarsely, "Xie Rongzhi."

"Xie Rongzhi..." She called again, "Whether it's hot or cold, I just want to drink."

The man's voice was as gentle as water, "Cold wine is unbearable and hurts the body."

"Then, when Gu Xiliu and I have a cup of wine, do you have to stand by and remind me that the cold wine is unbearable?"

Xiao Peilan spoke with a smile.

But it was extremely bitter.

Xie Rongzhi clenched his fists and remained silent.

Through the fan, the girl said again: "Two years ago, you said that you would never fail me in this life. You said that the eldest wife of the Xie family would only be me, Xiao Peilan. But now you personally marry me, what is the reason? What good did grandma promise you to do this kind of thing for her? Are all men in the world fickle and cold? "

Facing the girl's accusation, Xie Rongzhi remained silent.

In the silent night, suddenly there was laughter approaching from far away.

A young man in purple clothes came here with a greasy hair and a pink face, smiling, "I haven't even gotten married yet, this Gusu city has already started to get bustling. Even Mr. and Mrs. Xie's family came to Gusu in person. Some are far away to welcome, some are far away." Welcome!"

Xie Rongzhi raised his eyes, this person was the man Lan'er was about to marry.

Gu Xiliu.

The man in purple approached, and said with a smile, "Brother Xie personally sent Pei Lan to Gusu, it's really hard work!"

Xie Rongzhi was noncommittal.

"In the letter from my aunt, it was said that brother Xie would protect Peilan all the way. Coincidentally, I have a trouble here, which happens to be related to Peilan. I ask brother Xie to help solve it."

He saw that Xie Rongzhi didn't answer, so he continued on his own: "In the wilderness in the north of Gusu City, there have been horse thieves over the years. My wedding with Peilan is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. After the post was sent out, the Gu family suddenly got some tips The news said that the group of horse thieves planned to take advantage of my wedding to attack the Gu mansion and rob the Gu mansion of its treasures.

"Brother Xie, since you are here to protect Peilan, you should also protect my wedding with her, right? Brother Xie will take care of the horse thief. Thank you very much!"

He smiled and saluted.

Outside the gate of Biezhuang, a charming woman leaned on the door frame, smiling and shouting:

"Xi Liu, it's getting late, we should go back to the mansion...my sister has seduced your soul before entering the house, what should I do as a concubine in the future?"

She is Gu Xiliu's concubine.

"It's okay to sleep with a big quilt!" Gu Xiliu walked up to her, coveted her into his arms, and didn't forget to turn around and tell, "Brother Xie, don't forget about the horse thief!"

They got into the carriage and drove away in the night.

Xiao Peilan sneered, "The man I want to marry is this kind of guy. Xie Rongzhi, the man I want to marry is this kind of guy..."

She suddenly pushed the door out.

Su Bai's small hand gently grasped the corner of Xie Rongzhi's clothes, she raised her eyes, "Zhi, take me away."

The wind lamp flickered under the eaves, the girl's face was pale, and her almond eyes contained deep prayers.

Xie Rongzhi's heart was cut like a knife.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and opened her fingers one by one.

"sorry."

He left cruelly.

The girl watched him go away, tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably.

It was the coldest time of spring, and the cold wind blew up, blowing the fine snow that fell on the peach blossom trees.

The criss-cross branches bear a thick layer of peach blossom buds.

The teardrops were blown away by the wind, mixed into the fine snow, and fell lightly among the flower buds.

Pale pink and deep red, gorgeous and poignant.

When I was young, I didn't know how to worry about my boudoir.

Now married far away, looking back several times, I still want to talk.

Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River,

Half city mountain, half city water.

But in her memory for the rest of her life,

There is only this journey of mountains and rivers left between her and him in half a lifetime.
