Jiang Nian finished reading the letter Yu handed her with a complicated expression, and suddenly raised her head, thinking she had been reading for a long time, but saw that the sky was no different from when she lowered her head just now.
The thin piece of letter in her hand felt like a thousand pounds. Although they had never spoken much, it weighed heavily on her heart, making her feel depressed but lingering.
The letter did not mention where they would choose in the future.
However, Jiang Nian guessed that Yu He would return to that position, reminiscing about the good times and remembering the negligence he had made at that time.
The Creek Pillow...
A person who goes with the flow and is rootless like a duckweed should resign from his suspicious official position, travel around the mountains and rivers, and become a free and easy person who forgets the world.
I didn’t expect that the first thing that could transcend worldly affairs would be Xi Zhen.
I don’t know who to tell about my thoughts, I can only keep them in my heart.
The person who was called by Fuling to help at the other end of the pharmacy turned back and walked towards Jiang Nian from a distance.
"Miss, it's getting late. Let Uncle Xu take care of this."
The letter in his hand was put away, folded and put back into the envelope.
Jiang Nian suppressed the depression in his heart, stood up and walked towards Guizhi: "Well, I have nothing else to do, let's go back directly."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion. The young man who was responsible for picking up Jiang Nian was sitting on the side of the road. He watched Jiang Nian come out of the pharmacy, then suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
After glancing at the fact that it was a little maid following behind her, instead of Xiao Yingzhu, who had a frosty face and looked difficult to approach, the boy's nervous expression gradually dissipated.
Jiang Nian smiled and waved to him, put the envelope into his sleeve, turned around and leaned over to crawl in through the curtain lifted by Guizhi.
The carriage was tidy and free of clutter.
Guizhi sat on one side, and Jiang Nian did not stop her from looking at the contents of the list. When she had free time, she would also want to read it.
The carriage gradually moved forward. The wind from outside the curtain blew across Jiang Nian's hair, lifting up strands of it.
The contents of the envelope resurfaced in Jiang Nian's mind, weighing heavily on him.
Her thoughts drifted as she recalled the last time they saw Jian Shiyun under the willow tree under an umbrella. In the end, the intersecting trajectories of their lives continued to extend forward from the fulcrum, each stretching to a different place, and when there was no longer any intersection, her heart felt a little depressed and uneasy.
Perhaps the delusion of hoping for a happy reunion has not yet dissipated.
I always think that in this era when it is difficult to keep in touch, after everything is over, we can still celebrate and finally say goodbye under the full moon.
However, delusion is delusion, which means we are well aware that this situation is difficult to achieve.
The most ordinary and most common one is probably the separation of life and death like that of Xizhen, Jian Shiyun and Yu He.
The stones thrown into the water have long since sunk to the bottom, and the ripples have long since calmed down, lost in the passage of time.
Jiang Nian couldn't explain how he felt about the goddess.
I don't like it, but I can't say I hate it either.
Calm and peaceful.
The conversations I had with You Suo, the secret guards I met at Zuihua Tower, the hide-and-seek game I played on the fourth floor, or the day of the collapse.
It's like what other people have experienced.
Looking back, it all seems so vague. I feel like I'm out of it and don't have any concrete feelings at all.
The night when I set out from Pingzhou for the sect; or the afternoon when I stayed in Chimen; the night when I argued with Xiao Yingzhu in the storage room of the State Guesthouse, all of them are still vivid in my mind. I still remember how I felt when the incident happened, the frequency of my heartbeat, and the other person's every move.
Jiang Nian touched his chest absentmindedly and blinked in confusion.
Is it because I am rejecting this separation and feeling uncomfortable?
So, you should stuff all the people and things that you know you will never see again into your mind, stop thinking about them, stop listening to them, and stop missing them.
With my palm against my chest, the beating of my heart became stronger and stronger, and there was even a faint pain.
Jiang Nian took a breath that was a little difficult to suppress for a moment, and then suppressed the discomfort that was surging up.
She couldn't think anymore.
She knew what would come to mind if she continued to think deeply about it.
Guizhi, who was flipping through the list beside her, looked up and saw that Jiang Nian looked a little uncomfortable. The movement of her touching her chest startled her. She quickly put down the list and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Should I go see a doctor?"
Jiang Nian relaxed from his somewhat depressed mood, raised his head and smiled gently at Guizhi: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a while."
Since Guizhi saw it, I can only use the least troublesome excuse.
But Guizhi wasn't so easily appeased. She knew how busy Jiang Nian had been these past few days. When Jiang Nian asked her to rest this afternoon, she had wanted to retort. Now that she had the chance, she naturally had to give him a good talk.
Thinking of this, she frowned and pretended to be angry and advised Jiang Nian: "Miss, you haven't had a good rest these days. When you asked me to rest in the afternoon, I wanted to tell you."
"You are the one who deserves a rest the most."
"I'm running around all day, checking the placement of shelves, giving out exams based on the number of applicants, and even trying out new insect repellent formulas in the warehouse and testing their effectiveness in the experimental fields..."
"I saw all of this!"
Glancing at the envelope Jiang Nian had placed in her sleeve, with only a corner of it showing, Guizhi felt unhappy for a moment. Although she was afraid of the pressure Xiao Yingzhu's usual silence and indifference would bring to her, at this moment, her young lady was clearly unwell, so she had to express it bravely:
"...Did Duke Xiao assign Miss some difficult task? And Miss doesn't dare to tell him?"
"If that's the case, then Duke Xiao is being unreasonable! Next time I see him, I'll definitely give him a good lecture."
Seeing the little girl so angry that she even dared to comment on people she was usually afraid of, Jiang Nian knew that Guizhi was really anxious this time. He smiled lightly, relieved the stagnation in his chest, and said:
"It's really okay. I was just a little tired. I'll be fine after sitting in the car for a while, right?"
"Besides, we're already in the car. How can we stop and run far away to get a doctor? If someone comes and checks, they'll find out we made a big deal out of nothing. That would be a disgrace to our pharmacy's reputation."
“…”
Jiang Nian's explanation to her was very logical. Guizhi always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't point it out, and she didn't want to give in.
The young lady had told her the same thing before, and she always got away with it that way.
Thinking about Fuling's previous words of worrying about the young lady's health, Guizhi hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head firmly: "...No, young lady, if you don't rest well like this, I'm afraid you will damage your body."
"I won't allow the young lady to become exhausted from running the pharmacy. We can earn money later, but what if the young lady falls ill and doesn't recover? Guizhi will blame herself to death, thinking that she didn't take good care of the young lady."
Guizhi was more paranoid than usual, and this time she was particularly determined.
Jiang Nian had a headache for a moment. He was thinking about making up some more words to make Guizhi believe it so that his plan could go forward, but he heard Guizhi continue:
"Miss, you must take good care of yourself. Previously, because of Mr. Li, Guizhi almost thought that Miss..."
Guizhi lowered her eyes and continued, "Young lady, please don't work so hard in the future. If you overwork yourself, you'll have nothing left."
"If the young lady continues like this... then Guizhi will have to inform Madam in the future."
!
That won't work.
Jiang Nian's expression froze for a moment, and he frowned and said seriously, "I have some urgent matters to attend to recently, but as you said, I will plan my own schedule and rest on time."
Guizhi was stunned and agreed even though she didn't expect Jiang Nian's mind to change so quickly.
The moonlight was hazy and the clouds were thick. The gate of the mansion was pushed open a corner, letting in a bright and cool light.
The candlestick was brightly lit by the lamp. Guizhi and Fuling went to rest. Jiang Nian got up from the bed in the dark, fully dressed. He raised his eyes from the bright light. The moonlight and orange and yellow intertwined through the window lattice. The page of letter sank in the dark corner. His mood instantly became gloomy again.
“…”
There was no one else in the room, but Jiang Nian seemed afraid of disturbing anyone, so he walked over quietly, picked up the envelope sent by Qin Lan, and read it several times under the candlelight. He felt a little tired when he touched the burning candlelight, so he cut the candle wick.
The room became dark again. Jiang Nian stared at the envelope in her hand for a moment, her skin touching the cold desk. She finally rested her head on the desk.
It seems that if you get closer to these separations, you won't have to think about the many separations you'll face in the future.
—
The same moonlight was hazy in the sky. Song Chui stepped on the cool light on the ground and entered the room where the lights were still on.
There were several folds of documents placed casually on the table. Xiao Yingzhu raised his hand and pressed his forehead tiredly. He was not surprised that Song Chui would choose to come back at this time. He just tilted his head slightly to signal him to speak.
Song Chui used gestures to show Xiao Yingzhu the series of things that happened when tracking Qiu, and finally waited quietly for Xiao Yingzhu's reply.
The man's face was hidden in the shadows, and Songchui couldn't see his expression. After a moment, he said calmly, "Your Majesty's letter will surely arrive soon."
Song Chui stood silently, knowing what Xiao Yingzhu meant.
Emperor Changde, who was far away in the capital, was urging his master to bring Miss Jiang to the capital.
But right now…
Song Chui's gaze moved slightly, remembering that when Xin Feng came back a few days ago to report the progress to Xiao Yingzhu, he mentioned that Jiang Nian was going to open a school.
He knew what Jiang Nian was planning.
But since Your Majesty has written so many letters in a row, it must be that Donglan is taking action.
Since the master still wants to delay, he should delay until Jiang Nian Academy is completed... or hand him over to someone else halfway before bringing him to the capital.
However, he sometimes didn't understand why his master was sometimes unwilling to hand over Jiang Nian, and sometimes was planning what to do after handing over Jiang Nian.
Among the secret guards, he should be the one who knows the least about his master's recent emotional affairs.
However, Song Chui had no intention of gossiping. After Xiao Yingzhu stopped talking, he left the room and went to take on the next task.
When everything is over, perhaps the white mist that seems hazy in front of him will dissipate.
