Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"The township examination is scheduled for mid-October, and the general examination is in March." Master Asong asked someone to copy the notice from the county.

Shen Bai nodded, knowing that he would have to make a decision sooner or later, otherwise he would have no chance to hang around in this world. Although he could spend his whole life here, it was absolutely impossible for him to find peace.

The change in the dream, that 'Shen Bai' shot, dazzled him and amazed him.

From the point of view of the "self" in the dream, it shouldn't be difficult to get a candidate here, as long as you have a discerning eye.

Shen Bai didn't read, nor did he write or draw, but just sat in Wushizui every day to play the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano is his deep thinking about dreams and his understanding of another 'Shen Bai'.

"This talented person is probably going crazy." Shen San's daughter-in-law raised her head under Wushi's mouth and listened to the sound of the piano above.

Shen San sneered: "I don't know where he learned the art of playing the piano. Don't tell me, he can play it very well."

"It's useless to play well, can you win the exam?" Shen San's brother-in-law scolded: "I don't want to sit in a library to teach, but just hang around here. Is it possible that I plan to go to storytelling in the future?"

"Haha!" Shen San couldn't help laughing.

Shen Bai sat on Wushizui and was intoxicated by the music. That man was able to handle his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo with ease, but he was crawling in the mud, struggling to survive.

After playing a song, the mountain wind howled, bringing a burst of coolness, and Shen Bai's sleeves were swayed by the wind.

"Do you sit here every day?" Long Qingchen asked the stone sitting next to him.

Shen Bai put down the piano: "You ran out by yourself again, aren't you afraid that your family will find you?"

Long Qingchen shook his head: "Who cares about my life or death? My father is getting married soon, so how can I have time to care where I am!"

Shen Baiwei closed his eyes and didn't answer the words. He didn't like to comment on other people's family affairs, let alone family affairs that had nothing to do with him.

"A Luo, can you play a song for me?" Long Qingchen can't see through Shen Bai, but he likes to stay by his side, because he is as quiet as the dust-free snow, although the coldness is not an eyesore.

"What song do you want to hear?" Shen Bai asked.

"I miss my mother a little bit." Long Qingchen said.

Shen Bai picked up the piano, and gently plucked the strings: "Acacia."

Long Qingchen watched him play the piano leisurely, when a gust of wind blew from behind the mountain, and red flowers flew all over the sky, floating towards the cliff.

Before finishing playing a song, Long Qingchen had already leaned on his shoulder and began to cry softly.

Shen Bai's piano sound didn't stop, allowing him to cry.Among the flying flowers, Long Qingchen's tears wet his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Ah Luo, I shouldn't." Long Qingchen said after crying.

"As long as you don't say that you cried by my side and I'm responsible." After Shen Bai finished speaking, he got up slowly and left like this.

Long Qingchen looked at the person walking away, his eyes red from crying were full of puzzlement.

"Tomorrow is Master Long's big wedding. He is marrying the younger brother of our county magistrate. Everyone who goes there can eat noodles for a day." Master Asong said.

"I'm not going." Shen Bai replied.

"Okay, it's fine if you're a scholar and don't go, I'll go and bring you something to eat?" Master Asong said.

Shen Bai shook his head: "No, it's not good."

"Don't worry about it, I'll think of a way." Master Asong thought he was saving face, and said stubbornly.

On the day of Master Long's wedding, the weather was not good, and misty rain fell bustlingly.

Shen Bai sat in the courtyard and ate too early, his mind was in a mess.

Because in just one month, that "self" has conquered his confidants, confirmed the business he wants to do, and even went out to Bianjing to travel.

"My identity is doomed to escape this vortex." That person's words seemed to clear the clouds in Shen Bai's mind, but it also made him unable to guess what this person was going to do in the face of the future battle for the throne. .

Although Shen Bai didn't talk much in his previous life, he had always had lingering fears about his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo, and he was never even willing to face this brother-in-law, always feeling that he was scary.

Especially when it comes to washing one's hands and feet, one is simply like a demon.

'Heaven's family is ruthless', this is what my father said carefully to himself.

That kind of passionate and high-sounding words kept coming out of the mouth of 'that man'. He saw with his own eyes that he became sworn brothers with Jia Shiqing and Xu Jin.

Raindrops fell from the eaves, Shen Bai reached out to catch them, watched the raindrops fall on his palm, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe, you are more suitable to be the uncle of the country than me!"

When Shen Bai was in a daze, he felt a little sleepy.

I fell asleep on the armchair, and when I woke up, it was mid-afternoon.

Someone helped him cover something, Shen Bai turned his head and looked over, Long Qingchen was sitting beside him.

"Why are you here? Isn't your father married today?" Shen Bai asked.

"I kowtowed to offer tea. I secretly brought back a lot of dishes for you to eat for Master Asong. I told my father that I wanted to come here to pray for my mother. No one cares about me. I will eat with you at night." Is it?" Long Qingchen asked.

Shen Bai looked down at his cheek: "Have you ever cried?"

Long Qingchen shook his head.

"Cry if you want to. Crying secretly is better than crying in front of others." Shen Bai said.

Long Qingchen said firmly: "I cried for my mother for the last time, so I won't cry anymore."

Shen Bai didn't answer, put away the thin blanket that was covering him, stood up and saw that the rain was getting heavier: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier."

"I hope the bigger the better." Long Qingchen said.

"Why?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"That way no one will bother me." Long Qingchen said with a smile.

Shen Bai looked at his smiling face: "You look beautiful when you smile, smile more."

After speaking, he got up and went back to the room, put away the thin blanket, totally unaware of the crimson color on Long Qingchen's face sitting outside, his handsome face was hot.

Because Long Qingchen was here, Shen Bai didn't want him to go back too late to cause criticism.

He cooked the roast pork and other meat dishes early on.

Long Qingchen actually didn't like to eat these, but he was afraid that Shen Luo would seldom get meaty, so he brought good dishes.

The broth boiled with a gurgle, it was too greasy, Shen Bai casually took out the pickles and threw them in, added some water, then threw the leaves of the green vegetables in and cooked them together, the broth boiled with a gurgle exuded a sour aroma, and then Add garlic, green pepper.

"It smells so good!" Long Qingchen couldn't help swallowing.

Shen Bai touched the white rice he brought, it was still a little warm.

Take out two bowls and soak them in rice with broth and sauerkraut.

Long Qingchen ate it, feeling delicious.

Shen Bai slowly ate the vegetables with his hands between them.

"Why don't you eat meat?" Long Qingchen asked.

"Eat what you like, I'm not used to greasy food." Shen Bai said.

Long Qingchen stopped his chopsticks: "Do you really hate me?"

Shen Bai shook his head: "I have such a cold personality, I'm just not likable."

Long Qingchen looked suspiciously at Shen Baijiao for himself a piece of thickly cooked pork belly, and thoughtfully removed the skinned part for himself to eat, and the thin one for himself.

With Shen Bai's considerate movements, Long Qingchen ate slowly, but he really couldn't understand Shen Bai.

After eating, Shen Bai gave him a bowl of warm wild camellia to drink: "Shall I take you back?"

"Is it okay?" Long Qingchen asked expectantly.

Shen Bai took the bamboo hat and carried it behind his back.

"I have an umbrella." Long Qingchen said.

Shen Bai nodded and helped him hold an umbrella. Under the same umbrella, the two of them walked slowly on the mountain path under the misty rain. Chuanyun Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the depth of the clouds could not be seen, but it was the wind in the valley. But it is not small, the love flower tree has fallen flowers all over the ground, and the branches are messy.

Long Qingchen pressed against Shen Bai, feeling the temperature of his body, thinking that it would be great if he could keep walking like this.

When passing through the mountain depressions in Shenjia Village, the village was quiet and quiet, and they probably went there to eat.

At the intersection of Longkou Village, Shen Bai handed the umbrella to Long Qingchen: "Don't let people gossip, I'm going back."

Long Qingchen took the umbrella, Shen Bai put on the hat and turned to leave.

Holding an umbrella, Long Qingchen watched the boy's lonely shadow walking on the mountain path. On both sides of the mountain path were green hills, and the green rain washed away the fine dust.

"I brought some food back today. I didn't expect Master Long to give you so many dishes." Master Asong looked at it and said, "It's not easy for him to bring it, and it's raining!"

Shen Bai looked at Master Asong: "Are you full?"

"Of course, hehe!" Master Asong said with a smile: "I drank three bowls, hey, I haven't drank for a long time, today is really enjoyable!"

"Is it lively?" Shen Bai handed him tea to sober up.

Master Asong shook his head: "It's lively, but the younger brother of Changxian Cheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I can't remember what he is called, and his surname is Chang."

"What happened to him?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

Master Asong was a little happy to see his concerned expression: "I was sitting in the second row at the front, and I heard him say that my brother should marry a good family when he is older. Brother Qingchen is getting married, tsk tsk, it's not a good thing!"

Shen Bai thought about Long Qingchen, and said lightly: "It's human nature, and it's the same for big families."

"You?" Master Asong looked at Shen Bai: "Aren't you worried about Brother Long?"

"I can't worry about it." Shen Bai replied lightly.

"Does he treat you?" Master Asong asked curiously, halfway through the sentence, he looked at Shen Bai coldly and didn't know what to say: "Hey, you, you have been hurt by your mother, and you treat my brother like a deadly enemy. What's the trouble."

"Grandpa, it's just that everyone has their own destiny." Shen Bai persuaded: "Who can control other's affairs, I'm just a poor scholar."

He cut off Master Asong's words with one sentence, Master Asong nodded and sighed without speaking.

At night, Shen Bai dreamed of visiting Zihuan and Li Lu.

Zihuan looked at him with a strange expression, a bit like Long Qingchen, in his chaotic consciousness, he read all the dreams.

The next morning, after using it too early, Long Qingchen came over to sit for a while, and brought Shen Bai a lot of food.

"You don't need to bring it, it's not good for people to see, and the mountain road is difficult to walk." Shen Bai said.

Long Qingchen didn't speak, just sat next to him and drank camellia by himself.

In the drizzle, Shen Bai felt that it was not good for the two of them to sit like this, Master Asong went to collect the fish cage, in order to avoid embarrassment, he went back to his room and took the Yueqin, and sat there playing the piano slowly.

"The elder brother-in-law wants to promise brother Qingchen to his brother's son. I heard that there is a commotion in the village, but brother Qingchen refuses. Longkou Village is talking about this matter." Shen San looked at it when he was fishing in the morning. When Shen Bai said it.

Shen Bai ignored him, and sat directly at Wushizui, looking at Chuanyun Peak in the distance.

"Weird man, isn't he and Brother Long's brother on good terms? It seems to be fake?" Shen San said with his tongue.

"San Shen, don't talk nonsense if you have a bad mouth. Ah Luo is a scholar. If you go to the county magistrate to sue you for criticizing a scholar, you will be beaten." Uncle Long Qi, an old man in Longkou Village, passed by in a boat, unable to bear it. Stop scolding.

"How dare I, Ah Luo is not such a person, am I just joking?" Shen San said with a guilty conscience.

"Hmph, then you criticize our brother Long, and dare to say this and that." Uncle Long Qi rowed over and ignored him.

Shen San poohed secretly behind him, then looked up at Shen Bai: "You son of a bitch."

"A Luo, look at the things I bought for you. These are clothes made for you by someone. You should bring some new clothes when you go out for the exam." Master Asong said.

Shen Bai looked at the things Mr. Asong bought, and couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, if I pass the exam, I may have to go to the Imperial City for the exam. If I still pass, I really don't know when I will come back?"

Master Asong said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm in good health, with General Goff's blessing, you can rest assured, if you become an official, don't let someone come to pick me up, a bad old man, just let someone bring a letter. "

Shen Bai shook his head: "Don't worry, if I win, I will definitely pick you up to live."

"Hey!" Master Asong waved his hand: "Don't, I'm old, I'm over 60, it's not easy to be alive, I can't go far, you can just go with peace of mind, and don't come back after you pass the exam. "

Shen Bai sighed: "I don't know what will happen. I always feel that it is not easy to go out this time. I am afraid that there will be encounters that I can't help myself." He thought of "that self" he dreamed of these days, and the middle-aged man who quoted his surname, If you feel something, your life may have a turning point.

"It's good that you're promising, don't think too much about it." Master Asong persuaded.

When Yiyi parted, the two didn't say much.

At night, Shen Bai lay on the bed, thinking about the future, feeling uncertain in his heart.
