Wing On Tune

The room began to be silent again, and there seemed to be a constant silence between them now. Chang An sighed in his heart, sat up with support, and said a little angry, "I'm hungry."

He didn't know whether he was angry with himself or Liu Xu.

*******************

The night breeze brought out a cool feeling, and the two figures stood opposite each other.

"Leave tomorrow?" Lu Yao has the gentleness of a scholar, and his tone can turn a question into a statement. Chang'an likes this kind of gentleness, so he nodded.

"Days are so fast", Lu Yao raised his hand and touched Chang An's hair, as if to comfort him, he knew the child's situation, Chang An did not deliberately hide it, as long as the husband asked, he would pick up the situation and say, if he didn't ask, he would Not to mention, at least it looks very magnanimous.

"Sir, please be considerate. I have bothered you these days." Chang An held a small bag of fruits in his left hand, not many, but he carefully selected the ones on the road, and the price had to be compared with the hawker for a while.

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, it was rare for him to make such an expression, he raised his finger and tapped the child's forehead lightly, "Farewell, let's say goodbye, why are you still so born?" He took the things unceremoniously as he spoke, and he Knowing the preciousness of this thought, "Go in and have a seat."

He glanced at Chang'an's right arm, and took advantage of the situation to pull Chang'an's hand carrying things to lead him into the door. The school is closed now, and Chang'an went to the residence of his husband. Although the time is short, because Chang'an is eager to learn, regardless of his background Bitter but very sensible, Lu Yao will teach him more in private, and he also prefers Chang'an in his heart, but he behaves kindly on the surface, which does not make Chang'an feel sorry for him, but makes Chang'an more willing to get close to him.

Changan originally wanted to thank the master and go back, so as not to reveal his secrets, but at this moment he could only obediently let the master lead him, and carefully looked at the yard along the way. We usually meet in the school, but the school will occasionally be closed, and the teacher will let you know in advance Yes, and I was worried about unexpected situations, so I also left the address for the students, saying that if there is something they don’t understand, if the school is not open, they can go to the residence to find someone.

This is Chang'an's first visit to Mr.'s residence. It is a small courtyard. The location is not remote. There are plum trees planted in the small courtyard passing through. It looks quiet and elegant. It is only ten steps away from the front of the hall. There is a painting hanging on Fang. The scenery Chang An has never seen before, but he thinks it is very beautiful.

Noticing that Chang An glanced at the painting again, Lu Yao teased him, "It's so tiring to look at it if you want to."

"Where is the scene in this painting, sir?" Chang An, who was ridiculed, simply stared at it openly, not only looking, but also asked the reason.

"Hmm..." Lu Yao pondered for a moment, Changan thought that the husband had forgotten, "Jiangling."

The long finger pointed at a part of the painting, "Did you see it?"

The knuckles meander along a thin line on the painting, "This is the Jiangling River."

This is the finger of a scholar, with slender knuckles, clean and beautiful.

Chang An was sitting peacefully at first, but when he heard the words, he slightly raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by the husband, waiting quietly for his next words. It was a questioning gesture, "Sir?"

Lu Yao lost the intention to continue talking, raised his hand and held down the teacup on the table, tested the temperature, just before Chang An came, he was making tea, he chuckled, "I just remembered that when you arrived just now The tea is being boiled, the smell is stronger now, do you want to try it?"

Chang'an didn't care why Mr. suddenly mentioned tea, and nodded politely. He actually doesn't understand tea. Since Mr. said to try it, let's try it.

When the tea slid down the tongue and entered the throat, there was a slight sweet tea fragrance, but before swallowing it, the bitter taste began to return. The scabbed wound on his upper body was almost torn open, and he just wanted to cover it up without any traces. Lu Yao was also startled by the movement, and reached out to gently give Chang An a back.

"Sir, it's getting late, my mother is still waiting for me to go back at home, the students will stay soon, sir, I have classes tomorrow, and I will take a rest earlier", coughing lightly with a hollow sleeve, her voice sounded a bit muffled, Lu Yao He didn't expose it, and got up to send people out.

Chang An saluted and said goodbye to Mr., warmed his palms, and stuffed it into a brocade and white embroidered bag. With the movement of placing it, there was a clear and crisp sound, which was the sound of the porcelain bottle hitting.

The evening wind lifted the hair of the two of them, and the scent of tea lingered in their noses, both sweet and bitter, "This is a return gift, and I don't know when we will see you again. Just in case." He didn't ask if his right arm was injured, and avoided the hidden wound on his lip. This was Lu Yao's thoughtfulness, and he knew that this child was stronger.

On weekdays, Changan used to close his chin slightly, lower his head and lower his eyes. That was a docile and obedient posture. In addition to the height difference, Lu Yao could only see the top of the child's hair. If he hadn't raised his head to look at the painting just now, his lips He couldn't feel the wound on his body, but Lu Yao knew that there was perseverance and restraint hidden in those drooping eyes. Lu Yao sighed in his heart, and his gentle movements carried affection for the younger generation.

still found.

Chang An lowered his head, letting the warm palm gently caress the top of his hair, uncontrollably heat welled up in his eyes, he held his eyes tightly to hold back, trying to force the surge back.

"Chang'an", Lu Yao withdrew his hand and called him, "When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"In the past, after lunch, I retreated to the residence and left at about the same time." Chang'an solemnly put the husband's return gift into his arms, and answered truthfully. Seeing his appearance, Lu Yao smiled relaxedly, "So, leave tomorrow Would you like to come to the school? You didn't come today, and Yange and Jiang Xia asked about you, thinking you went to another place to play."

Jiang Xia is the kid who teased Chang An to listen to the school outside the window.

Chang An didn't expect that other than the little bully who likes to block people after school, there are still people in the school who are concerned about it, so he agreed. Except for the husband, these two children talk the most on weekdays. , Cheng Yange always looks like a little adult, I don’t know why when I met Jiang Xia, I was always provoked to have a few words with her, Jiang Xia is also a cute person, seeing that Cheng Yange and Chang’an’s temperament is quite speculative, even teasing with Chang’an , I feel that the fun is doubled, and I will say a few more words when I come and go.

*******************

"Chang'an", Jiang Xia's temperament is flying. When he saw Chang'an who stepped into the door, he waved his hands and called him loudly. The other children in the school were walking scattered at the moment, and those who were rushing home didn't have time to see Chang'an clearly. He passed by in a hurry, Chang An was afraid that Mr. Wang would wait for a long time, so he listened to the movement outside the door, deliberately entered the door when school was over, and was instantly raised by Jiang Xia's roar.

The girl's eyes are clear, like the surface of a lake blown by the morning light under the breeze, sparkling and full of agility. There is also a handsome young man sitting beside her, whose ears are shaken by the roar that is close at hand, with delicate eyebrows. Slightly frowned, then let go quickly, and was able to choke people proficiently, "Keep the volume down, and your ears will be damaged."

Jiang Xia curled her lips, and said indifferently, "Which ear is as delicate as yours."

He walked towards the direction of Chang'an, and Cheng Yange followed him like a follower.It is rare for Chang An to smile. The bickering between the two is actually quite amusing. He raised his foot and walked towards the study hall, but his right shoulder was held down. Chang An’s wound was still in pain. Nanlin Xiaobawang, who blocked him several times after school.

Seeing Chang'an's unkind expression, Xiao Bawang thought that he was too strong to strike, so he withdrew his hand, but his mouth was not forgiving, "Xiao Mumu, where did you go yesterday? Is it because I was afraid of you?"

No one is serious, just talking is happy, Changan ignored him, just like when he was blocked in the past, but the little bully got excited, relying on his height, stretched his hands over his shoulders to hold Changan's hair, and wanted to pull in his direction , "I'm not happy that you are like a piece of wood, you don't answer every time, how boring", and he has no scruples and lawlessness in front of the husband.

"Bai Zhongxuan", two voices pierced over, Jiang Xia was obviously the youngest of these people, but at this moment she was like a female beast protecting her cubs, staring straight at the little overlord, seeing Chang'an's face, thinking that Bai Zhongxuan Using all his strength, he hurt the person, "What kind of skill is it to bully the small? Is it shameful?"

Changan waved Bai Zhongxuan's hand away, not annoyed, raised his hand to signal that Jiang Xia and Cheng Yange, who came to help, would be fine, turned around and glanced at Bai Zhongxuan, without even saying a word, this indifferent appearance is really It's called Xiaobawangqi knot, but you give some reaction, the person being bullied looks like he is watching an opera, making himself look like an opera singer, why does the husband have such a bad eye for such a fool.

Bai Zhongxuan was not convinced, he couldn't compare to this little wood, and he didn't look at Chang'an, looking over the study hall, he saw Mr. with his hands behind his back, watching the movement here. He was a little proud of himself, but Mr. Chang'an has been troubled for so many days. Ask to help, it seems that I don't have much preference for this little wood.

"Zhongxuan, Chang'an is here to bid farewell today, don't make a fuss." Before Bai Zhongxuan had time to savor the meaning of reprimand in Mr.'s words, he was silenced by the news. Cheng Yange reacted, but his voice was caught by Jiang Xia Gai went over, "You want to go? Do what you want to do and go." This time, he pointed at Bai Zhongxuan with a quick reaction, "Is it because the little bully always bullies you, and you only want to go when you annoy him."

Bai Zhongxuan didn't think it was his fault at all, why was he still being slandered for no reason? Want to leave suddenly?

"You..." He looked at Chang'an uncomfortably, and wanted to ask Chang'an why he wanted to leave, but he couldn't hold back. I only know how to play around, but there is always a sense of propriety in major matters. Hearing that Chang An is saying goodbye, he thought he would be happy, but a sense of loss rose in his heart. He became irritable for no reason, and finally found some fun. Why did he have to leave? ?

They didn't know anything about Chang'an's situation, they just thought it was a child from some family who came to the school to play. Chang'an didn't have a strong sense of presence in the school, and his temper was quiet, except for hiding by the window on the first day and listening to the school, which annoyed the students. They waited and watched, if Jiang Xia and Cheng Yange hadn't called Chang'an's name more and more times when they bickered, almost no one in the hall would have paid attention to this person.

"This time, we are only passing through the south, not for settlement."

Lu Yao invited them to sit down in the courtyard and talk. There were still some snacks on the table, and Cheng Yange and Jiang Xia asked Chang'an about their next plans while stuffing their stomachs.

The servants of the mansion were already waiting outside the courtyard of the academy. When Lu Yao invited them to sit down, Bai Zhongxuan only saluted, "Mother is waiting for the students to go back to eat in the mansion, and the students will stay soon." Bawang always restrained himself from his husband, and when he turned around and stepped out of the courtyard, he heard Chang'an's voice, "Huai'an."

When Bai Zhongxuan returned to the mansion, Bai Sheng rarely had lunch at home and was chatting with Qin Youqing. After seeing him, Bai Zhongxuan said, "Xuan'er is back, hurry up and have dinner." He turned his head and said to Bai Sheng, "It just so happens that Since you are here today, you can also chat with Xuan'er about the situation in the school recently."

Bai Zhongxuan was not happy to deal with his father's clichés, thinking that he had been busy beating on a small piece of wood recently, and that little piece of wood would run away today, but on the surface he picked up his chopsticks to eat, waiting for Bai Sheng to ask questions, " What did you say today, sir?"

"樛木", as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he just came back to his senses. It turned out that the meaning of the teacher's lecture today, after thinking about it, so the teacher already knew that the little wood would not stay for a long time, so he would mention it more on weekdays, Bai Zhong Xuanbai picked up the rice in the bowl boredly, with mixed flavors.

"The Book of Songs?" Bai Sheng paused his chopsticks, his expression a bit subtle, "A literati after all."

He couldn't understand what it meant when Bai Zhongxuan went all out to invite the teacher who came to teach at home, but turned around and clamored to go to a dilapidated school to study. There should be a limit to self-willedness.

"Father's words are correct", Bai Zhongxuan was not happy, and simply put down his chopsticks, "Mr. is a modest gentleman, never underestimates the common people, let alone bows down to the nobles of the court, my children respect him."

"Mister taught you to say these words to your father? Your husband taught you these things, and the gentlemen in the palace also taught you." Sure enough, the twists and turns were to let him enter the palace to listen. Bai Zhongxuan didn't like to listen to the palace. The Chinese official's words are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but there is filth hidden in his sleeves, and all dirty thoughts are torn apart. He is not very old, but he has already dismissed it from childhood. In his opinion, Lu Yao His strength of character is worthy of his admiration, so what about a literati, who in the palace has such a demeanor as a gentleman.

At that time, Bai Zhongxuan didn't understand Bai Sheng's painstaking efforts. The bloody storm above the court was no better than the grievances and grievances of the world. The high-ranking people stepped on the corpses of countless people under their feet. How easy is it to kill generals? Those who stand on the high-walled Jinluan Hall are definitely capable people. Those who can keep the patriarchs prosperous are powerful ministers. A literati with empty rules.

"You have to know how to measure when you make trouble. In the past, you can just make trouble. I didn't discuss this matter with you. I will go to the palace to listen to the school next month." Bai Sheng dropped these words and went out. Lin Xiaobawang looked like a cub whose claws had been pulled out at this moment, he pursed his lips tightly and did not dare to charge, the meal broke up unhappy.Bai Zhongxuan had a sullen face, unwilling and aggrieved, "What kind of evil wind is blowing today, why don't you make me feel happy?" He could only act good to Qin Youqing, "Mother~"

Qin Youqing looked at the child's bright face, and spread his hands to express that Bai Sheng is determined this time, and as a mother, there is nothing she can do to help her, so she can only pick up the unfinished conversation just now and think about Shun Bai Zhongxuan's hair, "Did some students leave the school recently?"

The little bully who was looking for comfort was stunned by these words, and for some reason, the figure of the little wood with his back turned towards his husband appeared in front of him, and he didn't answer Qin Youqing's words, but asked, "Has mother ever been to Huai'an? "

*******************

Little Wood was getting up to say goodbye at this moment, and Liu Xu was still waiting for him after he had been out for a while.

"Huai'an is still a little far from here. If you leave the south and go east, it will take about six or seven days to get there. There will be a forest along the way, and there will be beasts in the forest at night. If you are not in a hurry, you can take a detour. Going by another way, although it will take a long time, is safe anyway. If you are in a hurry and have to pass through the forest, and it happens to be dark when you get there, you can find a place to rest first, and then follow the procession of merchants in the daytime Vehicles will be safer, remember?"

After instructing the matter, Lu Yao handed a package to Chang'an, and Chang'an weighed it calmly, lest the look of taking advantage of Mr. Lu Yao made Lu Yao laugh, "It's just two travel notes, I put them on hold after reading them, Take it with you on the road and watch it, it's right to relieve your boredom."

Chang'an's eyes brightened instantly. He usually likes to listen to his teacher's talk about the scenery of mountains and lakes and stories about traveling in the clouds.

"Chang'an, when we are all grown up, we will meet again in Jianghu. Then I will go and play with you." It's such an easy thing, "I don't know where Chang'an is at that time, so where are you going to find it?" Cheng Yange still didn't forget to choke her at this time, looking at Chang'an and saying, "But....... Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, they didn't move, looking at the back of Chang'an's departure. When they were young, they always valued every parting very seriously. Jiang Xia suddenly said,

"We...will see you again?"

"Maybe..." Cheng Yange was silent for a while, and added, "Yes."
