274 Today's turtle

As soon as Gu Haoxuan left, the embroidered brocade curtain on the wall lifted, and a woman in a light apricot skirt came out of it, holding a pink and jade-carved little girl in her hand.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over: "Miss Yiran, please take care of the business of the small shop in the future..."

Cheng Xueyan took the silver ticket, looked at the counter, and said in shock, "The jewelry I made yesterday was just here. Why is there only this gold-inlaid jade dragonfly left in a blink of an eye?"

The shopkeeper was proud: "A prince just bought it."

She can't help but be shocked.

The shopkeeper is very clear: "Girl, don't forget that today is Qixi Festival, and the golden jade tower is lively..."

Jinyu Tower......

Cheng Xueyan looked slightly stunned, but made the shopkeeper misunderstand that she said something wrong. Yes, how can she say this in front of a girl's house? Maybe her father-in-law...

Cheng Xueyan walked around the market leisurely with Yuer's little hand.

Children are curious about everything. For a while, they want to eat fruit, and for a while, they want to buy needles and threads. They also look at grinding and drinking to make people happy. They want to take one home.

She looks cute, and the stall owner is not angry. Moreover, seeing that Cheng Xueyan's style doesn't seem to be able to take out silver, she can force the children to toss around.

Cheng Xueyan's lips were slightly upturned, and her eyes swept over the stall and stopped on a yellow wax turtle.

... "The third son said that this turtle was picked up under a eppan flower and asked the girl if she had a eppaniment. If so, please ask the girl to stay, but the three idle turtles at home lacked playmates and felt very lonely. Dare to ask the girl if she can send this little turtle to Sanxian's company. If the girl doesn't give up, she can send the turtle. Sanxian will wait for the 'turtle' to come day and night in Xuanyizhai..."

"Oh, girl, do you still want to buy it, alas..."

The hawker looked at the distant figure and complained, "I don't know who this turtle has provoked anyone today. It's almost been caught by them..."

Wait for the 'turtle' to come... wait for the 'turtle' to come...

A young man and woman came face to face, and Cheng Xueyan's eyes involuntarily fell on their connected sleeves... There was a Chinese Valentine's Day. She swam at night in the market with him, and he held her hand like this, and his wide sleeves covered the warmth of her palms. Now...

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the empty right hand in disbelief...

Yuer...Where is the rain?

"Gunzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You must get drunk today..."

"Three sons, Jin Yulou has added several more girls. Why don't you go and have a look?"

"If those ladies are really watery-looking, they are much better than the previous Tris..."

"Haha, Brother Zhan, have you seen them remove rouge gouache?"

"I heard that I specially invite people to dress them every day, and I don't know what kind of person they are. They draw Dongshi like Xi Shi one by one, and cheated me out a lot of money..."

"Brother Chang wants to meet?"

"I heard that there is a girl named Yiran, but..."

"It's harder to see her than the ghost!"

"Haha..."

"But those songs are sung well... Third son, I remember that you used to love to go to Jinyu Tower to listen to songs. Now that Tris is gone, the one named Xue Rui sings really well... If loss is bitter, you are not afraid of giving; if falling is bitter, do you still want to be happy; if the confusion is bitter, you should The beginning or the end; if the pursuit is bitter, is it strong or stubborn..." The man simply sang: "Alas, since Ye Rongcui has followed the good, Jinyulou has not had such a song for a long time. Not to mention, her singing voice really has the charm of the person in the curtain..."

"Yes, let's take advantage of today to have a look. Third son, you haven't appeared for several years, but now the Golden Jade Tower is very different..."

Gu Haoxuan was stunned by this group of dboys.

He was going to walk around... Recently, he always has a strange feeling, as if she is nearby, and he can see it as soon as he turns his head...

So they retreated after two sentences, but they stopped them. Suddenly there was a cry...

"Mom, where are you? Mother..."

A little girl in pomegranate red trousers stood on the roadside crying and kept looking around. Seeing that no one was paid attention, she hesitated to walk two steps this way with tears, then looked at it and cried again.

He took the opportunity to get rid of the group of idle people and stepped forward a few steps: "Little girl, let's go, I'll take you to your mother. What does your mother look like?"

The little girl choked and didn't say anything.

"Can't you speak?"

"My mother said, don't talk to strangers..."

Gu Haoxuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Did your mother tell you not to run around? If you get lost, stand still and wait for her to find it?"

The little girl blinked her eyes and cried louder.

Gu Haoxuan saw that she was well dressed, not like a child abandoned by a poor family.

"Why don't you send your uncle to the government office and let them help you find your mother..."

"I won't go with you, you are a human trafficker..."

This child's mother is really alert, but since she is so careful, how can she lose the child?

"Then you wait here first, and I'll find the official..."

As soon as he took a step, his robe was grabbed. Looking back, he saw the little girl holding his robe in her hand and looked at him timidly with watery eyes.

He sighed: "Why don't uncle stand here with you until your mother finds you..."

The little girl burst into tears and nodded... And to his surprise, the little guy immediately raised his hand and ate half of the fruit. Seeing that he was stunned, he put his feet up and handed Qiaoguo: "You eat..."

The sky is getting darker and darker, and there are more and more pedestrians.

The little girl was tired of standing, squatting on the road, doting little by little.

Gu Haoxuan shook his head with a smile and picked her up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the little girl's head hit his face, she frowned and stared: "Uncle's beard is so annoying!"

He was stunned. Since Xueyan left, he hasn't taken care of his beard for three years...

"What's your name?"

"Rain..."

"How old are you?"

"My mother said that I would be three years old in seven days..."

After passing You, the official hurriedly came to find it.

Yuer slept soundly when he was taken away, and his little hand grasped his skirt, which made him feel a little reluctant.

Looking at the figure of the official holding Yuer away, and then looking at the wrinkled oil stains on the skirt, he smiled...

"What is this?"

When Cheng Xueyan undressed Yuer, who was sleeping in a daze, she found that her fists were clenched tightly.

Yuer opened her hazy sleepy eyes and unfolded her palm... It turned out to be a yellow wax turtle!

"Where did it come from?" Cheng Xueyan remembered that she didn't buy this thing for her today: "Didn't I tell you not to take other people's things without permission?"

"No, no..." Yuer shook her head anxiously: "It was bought by my uncle. Yu'er saw that her mother liked it, so she asked her uncle to buy it..."

"What uncle? Which uncle?"

"It's the uncle who accompanies Yuer to find his mother. Uncle is fine..."

"I'm not telling you..."

"Yu'er has a gift for her mother. What gift should she give to Yu'er?" Yuer interrupted her reproach very cunningly.

"What do you want?"

Yuer blinked, jumped to the ground to open Cheng Xueyan's makeup, took something from the bottom and jumped to bed: "Mother put it on Yuer..."

Cheng Xueyan's long eyelashes trembled... It turned out to be the Tilian bracelet...

... He held his hand and took out an identical bracelet from under his pillow and tied it to his wrist: "There are only these two in the world. Which one do you want me to sell?"

Two red lotus snuggled together, as if they were born together...

"Why... picked this up?" Her throat suddenly became dry.

"Mom, wear it, wear it..."

————————————————

Yuer touched the wine-red bracelet and fell asleep with satisfaction.

The night was silent and the insects whispered.

She can't sleep over and over. As long as she opens her eyes, she can see the yellow wax turtle on the small table at the head of the bed.

... "Sanxian will wait for the 'turtle' to come day and night in Xuanyizhai..."

Wait for the "turtle" to come... Wait for the "turtle" to come...

Alas, what happened today?

In the past three years, she has never inquired about him. Cheng Zhunhuai wanted to tell her something, but every time she opened his mouth, she took the words over. The only thing she had to know was that Gu Qian returned to his position and the family moved back to Gu's house.

She doesn't want to know how he is. She just hates not having a knife that can remove memory, otherwise it won't...

What will happen?

Is it painful?

It has been three years, and it is still so easy to arouse her anger, overturning those dusty past events to the ground, sharp and sharp, and instantly making her completely oblivious...

She covered her painful chest and took a hard breath, grabbed the turtle, opened the window and threw it out...

————————————————

The days flow quietly like farming, and the festival is just a symbol and an embellishment of plain life.

Once the Zhongyuan and Xiayuan pass, it will be the Double Ninth Festival.

For Chengfu, Chongyang is much more grand than other festivals because of the "hanging ganju", second only to the Spring Festival, and this year's "hanging gans" is more lively. In previous years, it only displayed all kinds of precious ** in Xinyuan, but this year it occupied all the gardens, and the whole Cheng family fell into a sea of flowers. In previous years, if officials and famous scholars want to enjoy chrysanthemums, they have to advance access and positioning. Only a few famous people can get Chengfu's posts. This year, Cheng Zhunhuaiguang sent invitations, and officials, distinguished celebrities and lofty people gathered in Chengfu in the 90th Chongyang, making people more crowded than flowers.

It's not that Cheng Xueyan doesn't know her father's mind.

"Since your fate with that person is over, you can't always be so lonely. You have to rely on... Alas, Sherman... You brothers and sisters are reassuring that Xue Yao..."

Indeed, although Xue Yao was the side concubine of the second prince of He Qi, she gave birth to two little princes in a row. I heard that she was very favored.
