In the spring of the 14th year of Yong'an, Shen Yanci set out to conquer Yanmen Pass.
The night before leaving, Tangli flowers filled the courtyard. He stood under the tree and said to her: "When I come back, we will get married here."
She smiled and replied: "I have embroidered the wedding dress and am waiting for you."
He said: "Don't embroider too quickly. Tangli flowers will bloom every year, and I will come to see them every year."
The first year, he brought back a wild goose feather.
The next year, there were only three lines left in his letter: "If I can't come back, you will marry someone else."
In the third year, Ah Qi knelt in the courtyard, holding a sword tangled in her hair.
Before he died, he asked: "Will the Tangli flowers bloom this year?"
She said: "It's open."
Then he put on the wedding dress that had been embroidered for three years, faced the trees and flowers, and said -
"Shen Yanci, I've finished the embroidery."
In the spring of the 17th year of Yong'an, it snowed heavily at Yanmen Pass and there was not a single Tangli tree.
And he told Ah Qi with a smile in the pool of blood:
"I saw it. It's open at Yanmen Pass, and it's quite beautiful."
The last time he lied to her was to make her think he had seen spring before he died.
And she lied to herself all her life so that she could still say with a smile every day when the flowers bloomed——
"I'm waiting."
People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but today's moon once illuminated the ancient people.
*The Tangli flowers fell that year and never bloomed again.
Intention: To love deeply is to protect the other person's spring that they know is fake.
