Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Sun Congshan frowned suspiciously when he saw the tense atmosphere when he came in, and looked at Qingping unexpectedly when he saw that everyone was in harmony.Qingping stood up and bowed to her, and everyone realized that this must be Sun Congshan, the head of Anping County. Seeing her smiling and unassuming, which was completely inconsistent with the rumored fierce appearance, each of them had some thoughts in their hearts, and stood up. Salute her together.

Sun Congshan sat down in the first place, arched his hands apologetically and said, "Busy business, please wait a little longer, it is really my fault! I will hold a banquet tonight, and I will lead the county officials to clean up the dust for you!"

When Qingping heard that there was a banquet, he subconsciously went to find the long follower.As soon as she moved, she realized that the long-term follower was not there, she thought with a headache, it would be good to drink and drink casually among the people, anyway, it is absolutely fine for Humo and his group to drink together...... But she was sensitively aware In view of Sun Congshan's farewell, the banquet at night must not be simply eating and drinking.

Sun Congshan was very kind, and almost overturned all the people's perception of her, and even the last bit of tension disappeared. Sun Congshan asked one person gently: "Which adult is leading the team this time?"

The man said: "It's Mr. Wu."

Qingping guessed that it was Wu Ying, and the rank of the leader of the team would be promoted by one rank.Wu Ying saluted Sun Congshan. She looked very young, with dimples around her mouth looming when she smiled.Sun Congshan had read her brochures a long time ago, so he naturally knew that Mrs. Wu was a model of success at a young age. Watching her advance and retreat politely, her words were respectful but still dignified, he couldn't help but compare her with Qingping in his heart.

Wu Ying said: "Master Sun, I see that the caravan has already arrived in the ancient city, and it seems that they have lived there for a while. The mutual market will open in early April, shouldn't it be time to leave?"

Rubbing Sun Congshan's fingers, he still felt that Qingping was more pleasing to the eye. Although Wu Ying was respectful, she couldn't hide the determination and publicity around her. It seemed that she didn't take her as the head of the county seriously. It made her look very dazzling.Sun Congshan didn't change his face, and said: "Master Wu is really careful. After the snow melts, it will be convenient for the caravan to move to the border county of Hushi. This matter has been submitted to Master Zhou Mu."

Wu Ying smiled deeper, and said: "It turns out that the adults have already arranged it properly, so we people are useless, we can't help you, and almost delayed your affairs."

Sun Congshan wished that they would leave early. She didn't want to serve this group of people at all, and she didn't want to be interfered with by them in the arranged affairs. I definitely can't say this today, but there are ways in the future. She took a deep breath and said: "Everyone They are people sent by the imperial court, representing the importance that His Majesty and the cabinet attach to this matter. How can it be said that they are useless? There are so many affairs in Anping, and you can take a breather when you come here. Mr. Wu is young, But he is in an important position, so his actions will definitely not go far."

Qingping watched the two of them come and go with great interest, so he sent a plate of fruit to eat.Suddenly Wu Ying changed the subject and said: "The county chief is too famous, how can he be compared with Master Li of your county?"

People don't look for trouble, things come to you.Qing Ping looked at Wu Ying, who was very innocent, and blinked at her, the malice was well hidden, almost invisible.Qingping couldn't be more familiar with her, and knew that this was on her mind.When he decided not to reply to the letter she sent, he had already prepared for today's situation, but this is obviously not an account that can be easily erased.She said lightly: "Master Wu, Liao Zan."

Her attitude seemed to be indifferent, but Wu Ying didn't seem to notice it, and said with a smile: "I heard about the name of the lord when I was in Beijing, and I just saw the rumors today. I have been in love with the lord for a long time. I don't know if I can do it during the dinner." How many drinks do you want?"

Qing Ping glanced at her familiar but unfamiliar face, nodded lightly and said, "Why not? My lord came from afar to visit Anping, so it is natural for Li to be respectful rather than obedient."

The banquet was held in Sun Congshan's mansion, and there were two face-to-face seats, one for officials from the Anping government office, and the other for officials from Beijing.Sun Congshan had a high status and did not sit with them. Instead, he set up a small table on the stage with drinks and meals.

Sitting next to Qingping, Hu Mo saw her opening the jug and smelling it, and joked with a smile: "Master Li is going to fight?"

Qingping smelled the elegant fragrance of the wine, looked at the bright place, the wine was clear and clear, she pressed the wine pot hard, looked at Hu Mo speechlessly in her heart, and said in a low voice: "What are you going to do, my lord?"

Hu Mo said softly: "Bai Yuquan, you have a lot of stamina." She didn't dare to move too much, and pointed to the plate of mediocre fruits in front of Qingping with her eyes, and said, "Eat more, so you can hangover."

Qingping understands that Bai Yuquan is a kind of strong wine, which is expensive, and its stamina is said to be able to overwhelm cattle.And ordinary hangover tea is useless, only a kind of fruit that grows in the wild can suspend the alcohol.Sitting around her was a group of Yunzhou people who had experienced many battles, such as Zhou Huiyuan and his like, and they couldn't help but feel like they were facing a formidable enemy when they saw this wine. During the ceremony, the main party should drink three cups to show humility and welcome.

If the long follower is not here today, I guess she can only rely on herself.Qingping picked up the cup and twirled it between her fingers, the water in the cup glistened, she suddenly thought of Chu Jun.It's just that we haven't seen each other for a day, but it seems like a long time has passed.She couldn't hold back this thought anymore, she raised her head and drank it in one gulp, the cold liquid flowed down her throat, making her body feel warmed up suddenly.After three cups, she let out a breath slowly, feeling that the longing was like rising wine, climbing along the spine, and finally spreading slowly in her heart, washing away her remaining reason gently like a tide.

This is really fatal, she tapped her hand on the table, her cheeks were a little red, as if she was beating the beat of the music, and she was very devoted.But her thoughts flew to nowhere, and she crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and landed in the moonlight yard. She casually picked up a fruit and put it on her lips. No wonder this fruit can soothe a hangover, it's so sour that I can't say anything, and I don't have any charming thoughts.

After the sourness passed, she started to wander in the void again, and suddenly thought of a question, is Chu Jun still in that small courtyard, could she have already returned to her mansion?There seemed to be no reason why people had to wait for her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and gently stroked the lines on the wine glass, trying to suppress this longing.

But the more you let yourself not think about it, the more you want to think about it.Wu Ying, who was seated on the upper right, stood up, and raised her glass to congratulate her from afar across the dancing dancers at the banquet, saying, "Master Li, Mr. Wu hereby toasts you."

There seems to be water in her eyes, but she is as cold and lonely as a morning star, which reminds Qingping in a trance of the time when the two of them were studying in Hezhou in the past. At that time, because of the misunderstanding the day before, she would hesitate to come to the school, mumbling "Don't be angry, okay?" he asked.

On the day of parting, she had to fold an origami crane for her herself, saying that she would go back and fold it for her father to see.The girl who is full of hope but cautious in her eyes, her biggest wish is to go to the state to study with her friends.She was still happy when she left, her hair was messed up but she didn't know it, thinking that the next time would be like every day in the past, and they would meet again.

The years have ruthlessly drawn an insurmountable gap between them, separated by past events and endless time, they are finally pushed in different directions.Qingping raised his glass to her, as if remembering the lost friendship.They are all changing, forced and spontaneous to adapt to everything that exists. In a sense, they do have similarities, but Qingping knows that she will never be the same as before.The once indecisive, sensitive and shy girl has become Master Wu opposite her. She is as sharp as a sharp knife, hiding her feelings in a place that no one can know, and she can no longer see what she is thinking.

Wu Ying put down her wine glass, her lips were as red as blood, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, staring at her as if sarcastically.Qingping's expression remained unchanged, as if she knew that she was confronting him so tit for tat, she closed her eyes and quietly looked at the lines on the table.If the human heart is like grains of wood, does it become more and more complicated year after year? She reached out and stroked the smooth texture, as if she wanted to smooth out the small wrinkles on a heart, so that it could return to its original appearance .

Time passes unknowingly amidst the music, and the atmosphere is very harmonious in the room filled with the aroma of wine. Due to the effect of spirits, it can also be called a feast for the host and guest.By the time everyone left, it was already late at night, the snow had stopped, a crack appeared in the sky, and the galaxy passed across it, like a colorful jade belt.The gorgeous starlight poured down, reflecting the snow like soft cotton wool.The entire garden was shrouded in starlight, and dreamy and blurred silver lights shone everywhere.The Beijing officials who came from Chang'an had never seen such a magnificent celestial phenomenon, and they all stopped to watch and were amazed.

Qing Ping was dizzy from drinking, the star seemed to be shaking in front of her eyes, she looked at the adults who were full of poetry, and felt a little sympathetic to them.I am so lively and jumping around now, I don't know if I can get out of bed tomorrow.She has been looking at the starry sky for three years, and the fresh feeling has passed. Taking advantage of people not paying attention, she walked through the corridor as if nothing had happened.The servants who came and went passed by her, holding a set of teacups and porcelain cups, one of them was very familiar with her, the man saluted her and said, "Master Li, would you like some hot tea?"

Qing Ping shook his head, the man took a few steps with the tea in his hand, then suddenly turned around and trotted back, saying: "Sir, there was a person outside just now who said he was waiting for you. The door was closed during the banquet, and I didn't have time to inform you. Not waiting outside."

It should be the long follower, Qingping thought, she must have come to pick him up.This has become a custom. After the banquet, Chang casually waits for her in the car, and if she passes out from drinking, he can send her home.She thanked the man and walked outside, passed through the vertical arch, and left the mansion through the side door.Outside, the stars reflected the snow, illuminating the steps at the door.She took a few glances at the empty streets, but never saw a single person.

In the night, the sound of horseshoes kicking and kicking, stepping on the road paved with bluestone slabs, echoed clearly in the street.She raised her eyes and saw a person riding a horse walking slowly, with a blurry face. When walking in front of her, the horse stopped obediently and looked at her curiously.Immediately, the man stretched out a slender and powerful hand from under the cloak, and touched her forehead with his flexible fingertips. Qingping looked at her suddenly, and there seemed to be a dull drum beating in his chest, and he felt like he was in a dream.

She handed her her hand, and was immediately pulled onto the horse. Chu Jun hugged her and clamped the horse's belly. The horse trotted away from the gate of the Sun Mansion, and walked towards the night under the stars scattered all over the ground.

Leaning in her arms, Qing Ping felt as if he had turned into a little child many years ago. Chu Jun keenly noticed that her mood was a little low, so he hugged her a little tighter, smiled softly, and said, "Why, Are you drunk?"

Qingping shook his head, Chu Jun buried his head in her neck and smelled it, and immediately laughed out loud, Qingping leaned on her chest, could clearly feel the vibration coming from her chest, and asked puzzled: "What are you laughing at? "

Chu Jun stroked the skin behind her ear with his hands, and said lazily, "Bai Yuquan, you still say you're not drunk with such strong wine?"

"No," Qingping said flatly, "Don't underestimate people."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something warm and soft sticking to her neck. Chu Jun's lips sucked her smooth and delicate skin, and she was very satisfied to see the rouge-like traces printed on her snow-white neck, and she immediately felt better.The horse also seemed to sense the master's joyful mood and speeded up.Qingping was a little sobered by the cold wind, turned his head and asked her: "Where is this going?"

Chu Jun's eyes were full of starlight, showing a different kind of gentleness, Qingping laughed when he heard her voice, and whispered in her ear: "Take you home."

The author has something to say: there is something in the back, I don’t want to be locked, I will release it tomorrow, why not?
