Chapter Eleven
The next morning, Sanxi and Jiuwei bid farewell to the emperor and returned to the general's mansion.
After Sanxi returned to the general's mansion, he first visited Xin Wanggui. After seeing Sanxi come back, Xin Wanggui said, "You are back. I heard that the prince's illness has improved a few days ago, and I think you should come back too."
Sanxi said to Xin Wanggui: "I am saying goodbye to you this time. I want to go back to Wuwang Mountain."
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi and said sadly: "After you left last time, you haven't come back for so many years. I've been waiting for you for so many years. You finally came back once. Are you going back so soon?"
After hearing this, Sanxi shook her head and said to Xin Wanggui: "Well, I've made a decision."
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi who was unmoved and said, "Maybe for you, the past years are only a small part of your life, and it is not worth mentioning, but for me, it has been half a life of asking. I may never see you again when you go back this time."
"This..." Sanxi hesitated after hearing Xin Wanggui's words.
Xin Wanggui was moved to see Sanxi, and then said, "You don't have to stay here all the time. It will be July 7th in a few days. It is the Qiqiao Festival on earth. Didn't you say before that you want to see this? Let's stay here this time and go back after July 7th, okay?"
Sanxi looked at the hair on Xin Wanggui's temples, looked at the handsome face that was once young and handsome in my memory, which was gradually covered with wrinkles. Finally, she was moved and said, "Okay!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you that day, as I'll say before." Xin Wanggui finally agreed and said excitedly when he saw Sanxi.
Sanxi looked at Xin Wanggui excitedly and remembered their distant promise. At that time, he said he would take her to see the prosperity of this world, but now they are no longer young.
On July 7th, on this day, everyone will come out from home to put lanterns. On this day, my daughter's house will give a hand-embellished purse to the man she likes. If the man she likes has the same intention as her, she will accept the girl's purse and then bring someone to ask for a marriage. If the man has a beloved girl, he will polish a jade hairpin for the girl to express his feelings.
On that day, Xin Wanggui took Sanxi out early in the morning, leaving Jiuwei and several others in Lichun. Jiuwei has been very depressed since Sanxi and Xin Wanggui made an appointment on that day. Now, seeing Xin Wanggui, who took Sanxi out early in the morning, was even more depressed.
Just as he was about to secretly follow the two people, Lichun came to find Jiuwei with an exquisite embroidered purse. After seeing Jiuwei, he handed the purse in his hand to Jiuwei with a shy look on his face and said, "Young Master Jiuwei, I have embroidered this for a long time, I will give it to you."
After taking the purse, Jiuwei took it and looked around in her hand, and asked in confusion: "Lichun, why do you want to embroider the purse for me? Just give me the purse, why do you have to embroider two ducks? I don't like ducks. I'd better give it to you."
Lichun looked at the purse handed back by Jiuwei, and the two exquisite mandarin ducks on it were actually called ducks. She was a little confused for a moment, and asked after half a day: "Does Jiuwei Master not like this? What do you like? I'll help you re-embroider one next time."
Jiuwei looked at the purse that Lichun had not taken for a long time, stuffed it into Lichun's hand and said, "Don't need to embroider the purse for me, I can't use this. You can take this and give it to Lixia at that time, she should use it."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran out. Lichun looked at Jiuwei who was running away quickly, stood there blankly, holding the purse tightly in his hand.
On the other hand, Xin Wanggui took Jiuwei to a store. The store was not gorgeous and looked very ordinary, but it was very clean and tidy.
After Xin Wanggui entered, he ordered two bowls of wontons. Then he said to Sanxi: "I asked you out very early. I must have not had time to have breakfast yet. Come and try this to see if it still tastes the same as before."
Sanxi looked at the wontons in front of her, picked up a spoon and sucked them in her mouth and tasted them carefully. After feeling the familiar smell instantly spread throughout her mouth, she said to Xin Wanggui in surprise: "This, this is..."
Xin Wanggui looked at the surprised Sanxi and smiled and said, "This is the first time you came to Beijing. I will take you to eat wontons. How about it? Does it taste the same as before?"
Sanxi then took a few more bites, nodded heavily and said, "Well! The taste is still the same as before, and it has not changed at all."
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi after eating a bowl of wontons and said, "It's good that you like it. I'll take you to eat something else later and reminisce about what you have eaten and where you have been."
Sanxi looked at Xin Wanggui with a smile and asked in confusion: "I remember that this old man who sold wontons was already very old at that time. I didn't expect that he could still eat this wonton after so many years."
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi and said, "He passed away a long time ago. This was made by his son. He inherited his skills and made it the same as his father." Then, he pulled Sanxi, who had already eaten, out of the store and headed to the other street.
Sanxi looked at the familiar street in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment. Xin Wanggui pulled Sanxi and said excitedly like a child: "You still remember this place, we met here."
Sanxi looked at the familiar streets and sighed with a smile: "Yes, you almost hit me by riding here."
Due to Xin Wanggui's strong request, Sanxi did not wear a hat when she went out today. Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi's smiling face. She rarely smiled like today, with her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles.
Xin Wanggui reached out and touched her head and said, "You should smile more. Since the day I met you, you have rarely laughed, which has made me try every day to make you happy."
Sanxi smiled and knocked down the chaotic hand on her head, and said happily: "It turns out that you wanted to make me happy before. I was still wondering why you, a person, came to me every day with time. It's so annoying."
After hearing Sanxi's words, Xin Wanggui said in a grieving tone: "Oh~ It turns out that my kindness will become annoying when I get to you!"
After hearing Xin Wanggui's words, Sanxi took the initiative to hold his hand and said, "Where do you want to take me? Let's go."
The two of them had a great time in front of them, but the little fox who was following behind them was in a different mood. As soon as Jiuwei left the mansion, he searched for Sanxi all over the streets. He had been walking around the streets but couldn't find them. Just when he was about to return home in disappointment, he saw Sanxi walking out of a store and immediately followed him quietly.
At this moment, looking at the two people in front of me holding hands and smiling happily, thinking with resentment: What's so happy about you? When I was with me, I didn't see you so happy. What can you make me so happy with this old man?
In this way, Xin Wanggui took Sanxi to many places. Before he knew it, it was night. There were more and more people. Most girls gathered by the river, and some had already started to set up lanterns.
Like those girls, Sanxi also held a delicately crafted lantern in her hand, which she and Xin Wanggui made together. The same petal shape as everyone else's lanterns are red, but only the lanterns in her hand are white.
However, the girl next to her saw Sanxi holding a white lantern and said to her: "Girl, why are you holding a white lantern? It's not good to have white. I have more here. I'll give you one, and you can put this one."
Sanxi looked at the enthusiastic girl next to her and waved her hand and said, "No need, keep yours for yourself. My lanterns of color have different meanings to me."
"Oh, okay." After hearing Sanxi's explanation, the girl ignored her and found a place to start putting her own lanterns.
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi slowly putting the lantern into water and asked, "Do you have any wishes written on it?"
Sanxi looked at the lantern slowly floating away, shook her head and said, "No, I don't know what to write, nor do I know what I want to get, and what I want."
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi squatting quietly by the river, and a lonely aura was lingering all over his body. He sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, there is no one now, and I will write it up sometimes later."
Sanxi raised her head, smiled at Xin Wanggui and asked, "Brother, are you sure you don't want to put one?"
Xin Wanggui looked at Sanxi with a happy smile on her face. The lingering silence just now suddenly decreased a little. Sanxi now looks like all the girls of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"No, I have no wishes in my life, and my only wish has been realized." The remaining wishes are extravagant hopes that cannot be realized in this life, and I only hope that there will be a chance to be realized in the next life.
"Okay, I'm tired too. Let's go back and have been out for a day." Sanxi took a last look at the lantern that had already floated away, stood up and said to Xin Wanggui.
"Sanxi, I have something to give to you." Xin Wanggui said, looking at Sanxi who had already stood up and was about to walk back.
"What is it?" Sanxi looked back at Xin Wanggui and said with a slightly anticipated tone.
Xin Wanggui slowly took out the thing held by a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Sanxi.
Sanxi took it from Xin Wanggui's hand, opened it and saw a crystal-clear white jade carved jade bracelet with a few lifelike snow lotus on it, which was very adorable.
Xin Wanggui took the jade bracelet from Sanxi and brought it to her, saying, "I wanted to give this to you for a long time. I thought I would never have a chance in my life, but I didn't expect I would have another chance to give it to you."
Sanxi looked down at the jade bracelet on his hand and said, "Thank you brother, I like it very much."
Xin Wanggui suddenly reached out to hug Sanxi, and the voice came from her ears, with a hint of vicissitudes, no longer the crisp and refreshing and vibrant voice she knew.
"Sanxi, since I put it on, don't take it off again, okay? I can't accompany you anymore, so let him accompany you for me!"
