So Youran

About a hundred miles to the west of the capital, there is a Lushan Mountain. This mountain is very famous in the capital, not because of the scenery, but because a great talent lived on this mountain. Talent, some Confucian scholars will admire Mr. Lu's talent and name, come here to discuss the classics with him, and some will live at the foot of the mountain for a while.

Mr. Lu has two unwritten rules for seeing guests. One is that no one in the officialdom will be seen, and the other is that he only sees guests at Si time every day.

At this time, the time has passed, and in Mr. Lu's Black Rain Hall, Qi Feng is sitting in the hall and chatting happily with Mr. Lu.Old Mr. Lu had a joyful face, and it seemed that the conversation with Qi Feng was very speculative.

Qi Feng is now an official of the Ministry of Etiquette in the Central Court, but he can meet Mr. Lu here, which has some origins.

Qi Feng is the only son of the Seventh Prince.The Seventh Prince was the only younger brother of the late emperor when he was fighting for the throne. He was the closest to the late emperor, and also the most peaceful. He was open-minded and fair.When Lu Qingran was an official back then, he heard that the Seventh Prince was a man, and he admired him very much, so he posted a post to visit him. He didn't expect much in his heart, but who knew that he was able to meet him.Later, because Lu Qingran refused to bow down to the majesty of the power minister, he was almost framed. Fortunately, the Seventh Prince rescued him in time, so he was able to save his life and leave the officialdom safely.

Therefore, Lu Qingran naturally treats the Seventh Prince differently.

Qi Feng came here this time with the emperor's orders on his back. Although he didn't say anything clearly, Mr. Lu had already seen through it, and the two of them tacitly understood it.

Before he came, the emperor asked him to talk in the study alone.

"Qi Feng, you also know that I have tried my best all these years. Although I have been enthroned, my foundation is still unstable. Most of the officials in the court are under the control of that old man, and the rest are powerless and powerless that he despises. Whether you can let me sit firmly in this seat now depends on whether you can succeed."

"Your majesty, your burden is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't bear it. That old man Lu has a strange temper. It's not that the former emperor didn't order him to come back. If he is left alone, if you kill the Nine Clans, you will kill him alone. So you should not place all your expectations on him yet."

"I didn't pin it on him, I pined it on you, so don't let me down."

"..."

So here he is.If it wasn't for his father's deep friendship with Mr. Lu, he might never have seen this one.In this in-depth talk, it turns out that although Mr. Lu is far away in the mountains, he is still very concerned about current affairs, but he is discouraged by the officialdom.It seems that only by letting him regain his confidence can he be moved.

Fortunately, the emperor was not too disappointed this time, and he was very relieved to talk to Mr. Lu about some of the emperor's proposals for hard work, but he just didn't have much confidence in the young emperor. Fortunately, he said that he would consider it.

It stands to reason that a Confucian scholar has no reason to be so arrogant, but Mr. Lu is different from others. Although he is not in the imperial court, Mr. Lu has a great influence on the Confucian scholars. Coupled with his upright personality, if Mr. Lu can be selected as the talent selection next year If the threshold is set, a large number of people can be recruited, leaving behind truly usable and usable talents.It's just that Mr. Lu has already stated that he doesn't want to ask about official affairs, so it's not easy to persuade him.

Seeing that the time has passed, Lu Lao said: "It is reasonable to keep my nephew for dinner, but since you are a lobbyist for the emperor, I can't treat you as a nephew. I won't keep you."

Qi Feng stood up and said, "Who dares to bother Uncle Lu, my nephew has to go back to report."

At this time, the old servant of Mo Yutang came in and said: "Sir, that official son is here again, and he brought a bride price. He is shouting outside the door."

Old Lu frowned and said, "Close the door tightly and ignore him."

The old servant listened and went to work in silence.

Qi Feng became curious and asked, "Uncle Lu, do you still have a daughter?"

Lu Laodao: "It's my adopted adopted daughter. The person came to me a few days ago to talk about poetry and study. During the period, he said that he wanted to go to the toilet, but he didn't want to be a frivolous person. He walked around our yard without authorization. The middle-aged girl. From then on, I have come to pester me every day, saying that I will give a heavy engagement to marry my little girl. The little girl has been weak since she was a child, and it is said by Kefu in the fate book. I don’t plan to marry in this life.”

Qi Feng: "Is there anything I can do?"

Lu Laodao: "I don't allow it here, and he can't do anything about it. I don't have to worry about my nephew."

Qi Feng said: "The little nephew will leave now."

When Qi Feng left Mo Yutang, he saw a man with the appearance of a son leading a few servants, carrying a box with a red cloth tied on it.The young master also looked at Qi Feng with hostility.Qi Feng smiled lightly, presumably he regarded him as a rival in love.

Leaving Moyutang, the mountain breeze is blowing, and I feel cooler. Moyutang is not far from the top of the mountain, and clouds and mist can be seen in the distance. Hanging Yujue's folding fan, I thought to myself: If it wasn't a gift from the emperor, I would have lost this annoying thing at this moment.

He was supposed to go down the mountain, but he left Qi Zi halfway and turned back up the mountain. It was a rare trip out, so it would be too wasteful to go back like this.He told Qi Zi to go down the mountain to wait, while he himself followed the mountain road to the top of the mountain, overlooking the layer of clouds and butterflies, suddenly felt that all the troubles could be forgotten, and only the beautiful scenery in front of him made people intoxicated.It would be a beautiful thing if only being with white clouds and green pines in this life is a beautiful thing. When you climb high and look far away, you can only hear the sound of wind, birdsong, and the sound of chess pieces falling on the board...Qi Feng retracted his thoughts and listened intently. The voice is soft but crisp.Qi Feng was overjoyed for a while, it would be such a pleasure to fight each other in such a fairyland-like place.

Looking for the sound of chess, walking along the path, it turns out that there is a stone platform with a square of six to seven zhang on the slope of the mountain top, and there is a person playing chess on the platform, but he is playing chess with himself.Qi Feng quickened his pace, jumped over a few stone slabs between the path and the stone platform, and landed lightly on the stone platform, for fear of disturbing the chess players.He just stood still, but when he saw the person clearly, his whole body was frozen and he couldn't move.The folding fan in his hand fell down, and Yu Jue landed on the stone slab and split in two.

The chess player was dressed in a light blue woman's attire. He looked about ten years old. His jet-black hair hung straight down to his waist. It was not combed into the popular bun, but simply tied behind his back with a ribbon. .A few strands of hair brushed the face, and the face was as white as snow, which could be broken by blowing bullets; a pair of star pupils, like starlight dots, stared at the chessboard without blinking; the black willow-leaf eyebrows slanted on the temples, adding to the face. A bit heroic; the slender jade fingers clamped the chess piece and placed it on the red and tender lips.Isn't this the leisurely person he has been thinking about these past few years?

Leisurely has lost his youthful appearance, but he is still so thin. If he hadn't known that he was a boy, he might have mistaken him.

After he left that year, he bid farewell to his master in the new year, and the first thing he did after returning to the capital was to send someone to inquire about You Ran's current situation.But the person who went to inquire replied that there was no such person in Zhaojiazhuang.The family also said that there was no such person at all.

A living person, everyone said that they did not exist, it can only be said that they deliberately concealed it.I remembered that You Ran said that he could not be known as a boy.Presumably that's why he hid his whereabouts.

The sound of the broken jade disturbed the chess players, and also woke up Qi Feng.He hurriedly closed his mouth, bent over to pick up the fan and Yujue.When he raised his eyes, leisurely looking at him, he also had a look of surprise, then joy.

The two stared at each other for a long time without speaking, with smiles in their eyes.

Qi Feng came to Youran, looked at Youran's attire, and said: "You have grown a lot, but you are more and more amazing."

Leisurely smiled and remained silent.

Qi Feng suddenly thought of something and said, "Who is Mr. Lu Qingran, Mr. Lu?"

Leisurely was stunned.

Qi Feng asked: "Is he your adoptive father?"

Nod leisurely.

Qi Feng suddenly laughed, turned around and found that Youran was Uncle Lu's adoptive daughter, and after looking for him for so many years, he was actually near the capital.

Qi Feng said: "I just left Moyutang, there is a young master who is proposing marriage to you."

Leisurely looked at Qi Feng angrily.

Seeing Youran was annoyed, Qi Feng didn't dare to tease him anymore.Looking down at the chess game that You Ran is cracking, black and white are anxious about each other, Heizi's eyes are locked by Baizi, the next move will determine Heizi's life or death.Such a changing game of life and death is the great love of game lovers.

Qi Feng's hands were itchy, and he said: "It's so beautiful, it's time to play chess. Can I play a game with you?"

Leisurely raised her vermilion lips, raised her brows lightly, and looked at him questioningly.

Qi Feng said: "Don't underestimate me, I haven't met an opponent in ten years."

Leisurely raised her hand, pushed the white chess, and signaled him to sit down.Qi Feng was overjoyed for a while, seeing Youran again was already overjoyed, and seeing Youran's extraordinary chess skills in the chess game, he was overjoyed again, and he tried his best to restrain his joy so as not to show it too obviously.

Qi Feng sat down and picked up the white piece, after a little thought, he dropped the piece.You Ran's vermilion lips parted slightly, as if very surprised, and then carefully looked at it with great interest.It turned out that the place where Qi Feng fell was a cliff, and if he walked one step further, a lot of people would be killed or injured.Even so, Youran did not rush to kill her son, but carefully considered it.After a while, with a chuckle, the chess piece landed on the place where it was about to be settled just now.Qi Feng didn't dare to take it lightly when he saw that the chess game to lure the opponent didn't work, and started to play carefully step by step.One of the two made a bold move, either making great achievements or defending, and the other played steadily but steadily. After such a fight, they finally ended the chess game with a leisurely victory.

Qi Feng stared blankly at his lost chess game, even though it was only two pieces away, he still lost.You must know that Qi Feng has never met an opponent since he defeated Mr. Baizi at the age of 16.Looking at Youran again, although he has already won, he confirmed with a calm expression, winning chess seems to be nothing new to him.Qi Feng had no choice but to throw the ball and said: "I lost, this game was played with great joy. I didn't expect your chess skills to be so good, but I underestimated you."

It was already noon at this time, and the wind on the mountain picked up.Qi Feng raised his head and wanted to win another round, but seeing Youran's thin figure and worried about freezing him, Qi Feng laughed at himself that he usually restrained himself in every possible way, but when he saw Youran, he had no self-control at all.

Qi Feng said softly: "It's a pleasure to play chess with you, but it's already noon, I think you haven't eaten yet, you'd better go down the mountain."

Leisurely smiled slightly, her eyes fell behind Qi Feng.I saw a little boy just came up the mountain, the little boy came to Youran's side, looked at Qi Feng with hostility on his face, but he didn't say anything because he didn't feel disgusted.

He said to Lei Ran: "Sir asked me to call. That young master has gone down the mountain after being bored. You can go back."

Qi Feng said: "It turns out that you came to the mountain to hide from him."

Leisurely nodded, indicating that the boy could pack up the pieces, and the boy lowered his head to pack up the pieces on the chessboard.

Qi Feng and Youran got up together and walked down the mountain.

Youran's figure is only a head shorter than Qi Feng's, and she no longer looks like the little boy back then.On the way down the mountain, both of them remembered the two days in the mountain, and couldn't help smiling at each other.

Qi Feng asked: "After I left, I went to inquire about your recent situation, but they all said that there is no such person. Did Mr. Lu tell you to hide it from the outside world?"

Nod leisurely.

"Have you ever asked your him, why do you want you to hide the fact that you are a boy?"

Leisurely shook his head.

Qi Feng thought for a while and said, "Old Lu must have his own reasons for making such a decision. When the time comes, you will know what you need to know."

Leisurely looked at Qi Feng deeply, and nodded.He thought the same way, so he never asked.Now, apart from that disturbing courtship, I am also leisurely and contented every day.

After a while, the two arrived at the back of Moyu Hall, where there was a small door leading directly to the backyard.Leisurely motioned for Qi Feng to come in and sit down.

Qi Feng said: "Mr. Lu has his rules for meeting guests. Today he made an exception for me, and I can't let him make another exception. It's okay, this place is not far from the capital, I will come again, and we will talk about it when the time comes. "It's because he was afraid of revealing his thoughts in front of Mr. Lu.At this moment, his heart was still beating wildly for seeing You.He needs some time to calm down at this moment.

Nod leisurely, and bid farewell.Qi Feng watched him enter the yard before walking down the mountain.
