Lan Ya bought a lot of things and gave them to Lan Duo's son and daughter. She also left the cloak that He Qing gave her to Lan Duo's son. He was very tall and a hunter, so he needed a cold-proof cloak like this.
Lan Ya did not forget to buy two new sets of clothes, including new shoes and a new hat, for Lan Duo's mother-in-law. It can be seen that she really loves Lan Duo's two children, but we should thank her for her initial kindness in taking in the wandering Lan Duo and the baby.
Lan Ya went to her sister-in-law's grave to burn incense, paper money, and bought her sister-in-law's favorite snacks.
Then she set out for home, traveling day and night. She hoped in her heart that her elder sister would be waiting for her at home. If Lan Duo also set out for home, they would miss each other again.
Although Ye Zhou was reluctant in his heart, seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, who was so haggard and thin, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find He Qing who came to Beijing to report on his work.
He stammered and asked He Qing to go to his house to see his daughter. It would be best if he could have a chat with her and make things clear.
He Qing was a little hesitant. He felt that he had made his words very clear last time and didn't know how to make them clearer.
But he couldn't resist Ye Zhou, so he dragged him to the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion. Ye Zhou arranged for them to meet at the Pavilion in the Center of the Lake, which allowed them to have a good chat without being disturbed by anyone. At the same time, the view of the Pavilion in the Center of the Lake, which was open to the wind on all sides and visible to everyone, could avoid all kinds of gossip.
When He Qing saw Ye Qiu again, he was really shocked. In just over a month, the girl had lost a lot of weight. She used to be full of energy and vigor, but now she looked gloomy and haggard, like a completely different person.
He Qing suddenly understood what Ye Zhou meant by "it would be better if things could be made clear." He was thinking about what he should say.
Ye Qiu suddenly asked, "How is she better than me? Can you tell me why I can't compare to her? What is it about her that impresses you that I can't do?"
He Qing said: "Miss Ye, she has been in my life for a long time."
Ye Qiu said: "I can also be in your life."
He Qing paused and said, “In my mind, Lan Ya was originally just an orphan girl from a border town.
From time to time, I could see her at the border and outside the military camp. She was either working or looking for work.
Either she is looking for her brother or she is delivering something to her brother, even though her brother may not be able to receive it at all.
I once suspected that her elder brother was assigned to Chen Yun's army and participated in the ridiculous battle in Labagou.
I told her that her elder brother was most likely dead in Labagou, and she rushed over with bared teeth and glared like a wolf ready to bite.
Later I thought about it, after all I had no evidence, so I didn’t want to extinguish the girl’s hope, so I didn’t mention it again.
Now you ask me what makes her better than you, I don't know. You are completely different. You are beautiful, well-educated, and knowledgeable in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and rituals. During those three days in the border town, you often amazed me, but you are you, a lady from a noble family in Kyoto.
And Lan Ya is Lan Ya. She is a girl from the borderland, like wild grass in the spring breeze, and she learned to read and write in fits and starts. Her goodness and her abilities may be despised by the noble ladies in Kyoto, but they have taken root in my heart.
Miss Ye, when I was your age, I also fell in love with someone. I joined the army at the age of fifteen, serving under the command of Zhang Jiashilang. I fell in love with her for a full ten years, and I couldn't let go until I was twenty-five or twenty-six. That girl was already married with children.
Ye Qiu opened his eyes wide with tears: "You must have felt very sad at that time."
He Qing said, "It was hard, especially in the dead of night. But at that time, there were always wars at the border, and the days passed quickly. There were many people who suffered more than me.
Miss Ye, you have your own good qualities, unique good qualities, and good qualities that are irreplaceable in this world. There is no need to compare or change yourself with anyone else.
I live in a border town, and I may never stay in my own house in Kyoto for more than a few days in my entire life. The border town has everything I can't let go of, and it also has everything I have been familiar with for so many years, from the local customs and people to the food and clothes.
It took about another ten years for Lan Ya to enter my heart, or rather, for Lan Ya and I to have a mutual understanding and admiration for each other.
She has been in my life, bit by bit, for ten years."
Ye Qiu understood that she didn't have these ten years.
Lan Ya returned to the home she had guarded alone for sixteen years. This was the first time she returned home. Smoke rose from the chimney, the aroma of food wafted through the yard, and hot water was warming in the kitchen. Then she realized that the kang was also warm.
Eldest sister Lan Duo came out from behind the curtain and looked at her. It didn't seem like they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, as if everything was just a dream from yesterday. Lan Duo looked at Lan Ya with a smile and said, "Go wash your face and hands, it's time to eat."
At that moment, Bluetooth couldn't stop crying, and she said, "Okay, okay."
Then she saw a young man, tall, with handsome features, who vaguely resembled her eldest brother.
Lan Ya couldn't hold on any longer, she hugged him and cried loudly.
Bayar returned from Gerilemu's tribe in frustration.
Gerile asked him three questions.
