carp word

After coming out of the mother's womb, Huayang has never regretted it like this, and his heart is full of ups and downs, with mixed feelings.

Regarding the matter just now, although the young master never said a word of blame from the beginning to the end, the more this happened, the more disturbed Hua Yang was.He doesn't understand what's wrong with him, what kind of dirty thoughts are he playing against his master?It is true that among the crowd, the young master is undoubtedly the one who stands out the most, not to mention his appearance, his stern and elegant demeanor is enough to capture the hearts of ordinary women.

But, I already have someone I like... No!wrong!The point is not here!He Huayang is not a girl, no matter how good-looking and charming the young master is, he is still a man after all!

But... the young master is already twenty this year, and others at his age would already have heirs around his knees, but he is still alone.Could it be that……

Master likes men? !

"Ayang, Ayang?"

"Ah! Young...Young Master..." Hua Yang was so startled that the towel in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"What do you think?" Hua Geng asked.

"Uh... what?"

"The Lantern Festival in Shangyuan City tonight must be very lively. You have been staying in the mansion for the past few days, and I am afraid that you will be bored. Why don't you go and see it with me."

Hua Yang was overwhelmed by flattery, he didn't expect that the young master not only disregarded the past suspicions, but also invited him to enjoy the lantern, and he immediately agreed.

"Hurry up and get ready. Uncle Du's girl will definitely be there too. Aren't you planning to go empty-handed?" Hua Gengxun wrapped his hair with a towel and began to wipe it himself.

Hua Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red.The old man Du that Hua Gengxun was talking about was the shopkeeper of the Kule Tea Shop in Shangyuan City. He was middle-aged and had no children. He had only one daughter named Du Juan.Every time Hua Geng looks for good tea, he asks Hua Yang to go out and buy it.Although the Kule Tea Shop is not well-known in Jinling, the tea is the real thing, and the price is fair, so it is the designated supplier of Hua Gengxun.Over time, those well-informed officials, big and small, merchants and gentry in the city seemed to have been beaten up, and they brought the high-quality tea from the Kule Tea Shop to Washington, and Hua Gengxun collected them all. Then he changed hands and gave some to his servants, and secretly sent the rest back to the tea shop.It's no wonder they were like this, because although Hua Gengxun was an expensive prefect, his daily life was as simple as before, no money or gifts were accepted, two sets of clothes could be worn for three to five years, and the most expensive one was the fox fur up.However, this naturally also boosted the business of the tea shop. The Du family's father and daughter were grateful to Hua Fu, and Huayang frequented them.

However, Hua Yang asked himself that he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, how did the young master know about it?Sure enough, he is a smart and intelligent person, and he can't hide anything from him.Hua Yang secretly admired.

At sunset, the setting sun shines at night, covering hundreds of miles around the city, adding some warmth to the severe cold this season.Hua Yang tidied up and was about to greet the young master, but seeing that Hua Gengxun was still wearing a commoner shirt, he asked, "Young master, don't you want to change?"

"Isn't that good?" Hua Gengxun asked back, and handed over something, "Take it."

"This is..." Seeing that it was a kit, Hua Yang was puzzled.Hua Gengxun signaled him to open it.

A delicately carved hosta caught my eye, Hua Yang opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

"As I said, you can't go empty-handed when you go to see the girl from the Du family. It's getting late, so let's go." Hua Gengxun said as he raised his foot and turned around.

Hua Yang was full of joy, carefully put the kit into his pocket, and followed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, at the time of You in the evening, it is Shangyuan in Shengzhou.

The whole city was immersed in joy.At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, there are already people wandering along the streets of the market, in groups of three or four, or with their families.The children shuttled around with the rabbit lanterns, looking up and counting the lanterns on the top with great interest, but how could they count them?Looking around, you can see thousands of lanterns in different shapes, scattered high and low, lined up along the way, extending endlessly into the distance, you can't see the end from the beginning, and you can't see the end from the end, just like the red clouds in the sky falling into the world.

The magistrate of Shangyuan County, dressed lightly and conscientiously, rushed early and waited quietly at the street corner.It is still early at this moment, and there are not many pedestrians, but in a short while, when the sun sets and the sky is completely dark, there will be a sea of ​​people here, and there is no room for change.So An Xun and his party retreated to the side of the street, waiting for Lord Nazhizhou to come.

Unknowingly, it was half past You Hour, and the surrounding area became dark, and the streets were crowded with people.An Xun, however, had no intention of looking at the scenery, and only hoped that Hua Gengxun would arrive as promised, repeatedly raising his head and being disappointed repeatedly.Why he is so eager, but even he himself does not know.

With a sound of "swish", a string of fireworks went straight into the sky, reached the highest point, and bloomed with a "pop", spreading half of the sky into gold and winning a burst of applause.An Xun's gaze was also attracted, following the trajectory of the fireworks from blooming to disappearing.At the end of Jinhua, a slender black shadow was illuminated by the fire that was burning again.

Dark blue Confucian shirt, snow-white fox fur.

"Lord Hua!" An Xun almost bit his tongue.The expected person suddenly appeared, and he was at a loss for a while.

"'A piece of music is like the sea in spring, and the lights of thousands of gates are like day in the night'. The ancients are sincere and do not deceive me. Does Mr. An say so?"

"The lower official has met Lord Zhizhou! What he said is very true!" An Xun made up a salute, but Hua Gengxun stretched out his hand to hold him.

"Today there is no need for these red tapes. You and I just care about being brothers, and you can call me in small characters. Brother An wants to be more polite, but he looks down on Hua." Hua Geng smiled eagerly, holding his hand and saying, "We are everywhere. Let's go." He turned his head and told Hua Yang, "Go and play by yourself, you don't have to follow me."

When the skin touches, the indescribable softness and warmth spread from the palm to the bones, bringing comfort to the whole body.However, even the sweetest person can't match his smile.It's been a long time, about... six years.Ever since that accident happened, it's hard to see him laughing like this again...

Hua Gengxun naturally didn't know that Anzhen's mood was up and down, so he just chatted all the way: "Brother An, you see, this year's lanterns seem to have a lot more tricks than previous years. What are those lanterns called? I can't name them."

An Xun followed what the other party was expecting, and replied, "That's a mushroom lamp. It got its name because it looks like a mushroom."

"Mushroom lamp? It really is a wonderful workmanship! It's no different from real mushrooms. It's interesting and interesting!"

Seeing that Hua Gengxun was in a good mood, An Xun couldn't help but become interested.Just finished shopping for a section of the lantern market, there was a rumble in my ears, applause and exclamation rang together, it turned out to be a juggling venue.Artists eat Lengtao, swallow iron swords, spit five-color water, and even command monkeys, fish and ants, all kinds of thaumaturgy, singing and dancing, which can be called extremely unexpected.

"Although this place is not as good as Kaifeng, the capital city, it is a hundred times better than other places when it comes to folk customs!" An Xunzheng was feeling, when a burst of fragrance suddenly wafted in front of him, with the fragrance of glutinous rice, it smelled so good.

"Come to eat Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, reunion and reunion, misfortunes and misfortunes will disappear! Selling floating dumplings!"

Crowds crowded in front of the Lantern Festival stalls, and the vendors hawked loudly while waving their arms round the Lantern Festival and cash registers, busy.The Lantern Festivals are tossing up and down in the pot, white flowers, round and coveted.

An Xun glanced at Hua Gengxun, and said with a smile: "Brother Yanshu hasn't had dinner yet, right? Gan Qiaoer sells floating balls, I remember brothers love this one, if you don't mind, we'll buy two bowls too .”

Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Brother An, you remember wrongly, I don't like to eat these floating balls."

An Xun was startled, and then his tongue fell open.

"But since Brother An suggested, it's okay to try two bowls." Hua Gengxun slowed down his pace.

The two of them were traveling in microservices, so they lined up honestly, and it took about two pillars of incense to buy the Lantern Festival, and they waited for a seat to eat with peace of mind.

An Xun still cared about what Hua Geng had said, and ate the Lantern Festival peacefully with his head down, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.This time it was Hua Gengxun's turn to speak first:

"I heard that brother An didn't remarry for six years after his wife passed away. Recently, he married a new wife and came in. He divorced within a month. Why?"

Hearing the other party's change of subject, An Zhen felt a little relieved, and said: "An's family is not doing well, Jiao Yanshu brothers laughed at her. Actually, there is nothing wrong with her, the daughter of a rich family, both talented and beautiful, and also virtuous, It's just... a little temperamental."

"So that's how it is." Hua Gengxun nodded and said, "Temperature is very important to manage a family and husband. However, no one is perfect in ancient times. If you want to find someone who is handsome, talented, and good-natured, I'm afraid there will be no one in the world. Not many of them."

"That's not necessarily the case, brother..." Before the end of the sentence, An Xun realized that he had slipped his mouth, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.

Hua Geng looked indifferently: "Brother An is too famous." Then he stopped talking.

An Xun shut his mouth tactfully.

The two people on this side ate their food sullenly, while Huayang on the other side was in full bloom.Why do you think?Naturally, it was because of meeting the Dujuan girl whom he had been thinking about day and night.

Hua Yang didn't expect to have a face-to-face photo with his sweetheart so soon.The market was crowded, Huayang simply followed the flow of people and pushed him back and forth, and he was pushed in front of Du Juan and his daughter in such a hurry.Du Juan is wearing a light yellow shirt with a dark orange skirt today, which is quite dazzling.As soon as Huayang saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her, and made the girl flush with shame, bowing her head and burying her chest.It was old man Du's heart to pull the two of them into the corner of the street so that he could talk privately about his children, while he left with an excuse.

The two teenagers whispered some gossip, and Hua Yang immediately took out the kit with the hosta in it.Du Juan opened it and looked at it. He couldn't put it down and was very happy.Huayang helped her put it on, looking left and right, it was so beautiful.

The girl was happy, her eyebrows were smooth and her eyes were bright, and her facial features became more exquisite and radiant.Seeing it in his eyes, Hua Yang felt bloody and emotional, and grabbed her hand, his form was full of endless lingering.Du Juan shyly shyly hid in the crowd with one slippery foot, but let it hold her and did not break free.

Huayang understood and was overjoyed, so he had to keep up and walk side by side with her.

Let's say that the two of Hua'an swallowed the Yuanxiao in two mouthfuls, and the two of them fell into silence with a tacit understanding along the way.In the end, Hua Gengxun was the first to break the deadlock: "It's so lively over there, let's go and see what's going on."

An Xun went over and saw several piles of lamp fan shops, each in a row, on both sides of the official road.There are many poets and literati in front of the booth, vying for the top spot and not giving in to each other.There is a puzzle in it, the ink on the hexagonal lamp is not covered, it is blank, and there is a herbal medicine.Several common people who looked like scribes competed to answer, but none of them guessed correctly.Hua Geng thought for a while, and wrote two words on the falling tablet with the inscription pen.The stall owner congratulated and said: "Congratulations to this young master for guessing right! You are not only quick-witted, but also good at writing!" As he spoke, he took out a Langhao brush and gave it to Hua Gengxun.

There is no shortage of the Four Treasures of the Study in Washington, and Hua Gengxun casually gave the brush to An Xun.An Xun was curious, so he went to look at the answer, but it turned out to be the word "Bai Zhi".

"Brother An, come and have a look at this!" Hua Gengxun suddenly heard Hua Gengxun calling, as if he had discovered something new.An Xun squeezed out of the crowd and saw Hua Gengxun stop in front of a nearby stall. The stall owner hung up lanterns one by one with words written all over them.

"Huh? Isn't that Brother An's word?"

For no reason, there was a "thump" in my heart, my throat seemed to be choked by sticky balls, stuck up and down, very uncomfortable.The man's delicate and unique voice lingered in his ears, making him unable to withdraw.

"The world is difficult and the mood is fading. I look forward to reunion several times. The strings of the zither are broken and the threads are broken. Who can see through the dim eyes..."

The voice was not loud, but An Xun felt that the words bypassed the eardrums and pierced into the heart.

In the midst of the noise, the voice fluctuated from high to low, murmuring to himself: "Brother An's lyrics are famous far and wide, and after six years, there are still people who remember this one. But today, I want to add another sentence." Hua Geng looked for After finishing speaking, he wrote a book.

At this moment, "Crackling——" another firework ignited, and the green face instantly turned red like a drop of blood.A few days ago, the dream suddenly rushed into his mind, which made Anzhen's heart tremble with fright, and his face turned pale.But Nahua Geng asked again: "Brother An, would you like to be a judge for the continuation of the younger brother?"

Everything is almost in line with a dream!

An Xun bit the bullet and watched the continuation with trepidation.Fortunately, those words did not bleed, but normal ink stains, so I dared to identify them with my eyes.With this recognition, we know that the continuation words have been changed, not the half of six years ago.

"'In a lifetime, thousands of dendrobiums will be exhausted, and the broken body will be thrown into the world...' This word should be continued like this. Why bother to make a happy face and ruin the charm." Hua Geng asked.

An Xun recited the word silently, back and forth, over and over again, bursts of soreness appeared in the corners of his eyes, a feeling called sorrow emerged spontaneously from the bottom of his heart!

Partridge Ci, partridge cry, the sound of "Partridge Sky"...

At that time in the past, in the suburbs of Yangzhou, there was a small square pavilion.

"Crack!" The porcelain cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.Hua Geng struggled to support the edge of the table, and said bitterly: "You... What did you do in the wine?"

An Xun was flustered and frightened, but there was an inexplicable eagerness in his expression, which was hard to understand.

"Geng Xun, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" He stretched out his hand to support the crumbling body.This person, this body, has been entangled in souls and dreams several times, and has become obsessed with thoughts several times, but in the end... can't get...

Hua Gengxun pushed those hands away, pointed at An Xun and said, "Today... you treat me like this, even if I, I am a ghost... I will not let you go!"

An Xun saw that his fingers and canthus were cracked, he was gnashing his teeth, his heart convulsed suddenly, his knees softened, and he knelt down: "Geng Xun, how could I kill you! I'm just... just..." The words on his lips are still the same. I can't say it, after all I know that this meaning is contrary to ethics, and it's hard to say it.

But Hua Gengxun seemed to understand, he staggered up and wanted to escape, but he fell to the ground within two steps, still struggling endlessly.

"Gengxun!" An Xun climbed forward, his voice was crying, "I was wrong, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have lust..."

"Punishment!" Hua Gengxun's breathing became heavier, and he shouted angrily, "If you do such a despicable thing, even if you become an official and a knight in the future... you will... be ruined!"

Ruined...

The moon hangs high and the autumn wind blows.An Xun was stunned for a moment, looking at the vast expanse of darkness outside the pavilion with a pair of red eyes, and then at Hua Gengxun.The other person's painful face was within reach, but he slowly straightened up, and before he could stand still, he ran away in a panic, fearing that the person would chase him, and ran for his life...

The voices and shouts came intermittently from behind, but incessantly.An Xun covered his ears, speeded up, and ran farther and farther—until he couldn't hear anything anymore.

I can't hear anything...

"Young master, you have been standing there for a long time, let's guess a lamp fan?"

The stall owner abruptly pulled An Xun out of his sleep with a question.Looking around, there are chaotic crowds and noisy shouts, as if all this is reality.But he can't tell the difference, what is real and what is illusory?

Hua Gengxun stared at him for a moment, and said, "Brother An, why are you out of your mind today? Are you tired?"

"Ah, An was just thinking about that case, it seems... a bit suspicious." An Xun prevaricated, blinking his eyes a few times, squeezing away the half-dried tears.

Hua Gengxun heard what he said, so he pulled him out, turned into an alley, and went a few steps in, then stopped and said: "Brother An still remembers his official duties during the festival, it's commendable! If there is any doubt, my younger brother would like to hear about it."

An Xun hesitated and said: "I have interrogated the criminal, but he has not pleaded guilty. There is not enough evidence in the Yamen to convict him of murder. Only one witness's confession is really..."

"Are you afraid that you didn't use punishment?" Seeing An Xun's silence, Hua Gengxun smiled slightly, "I've heard that Brother An is an upright official, and he didn't impose punishment easily, so the rumors are true." Finally he said, "That's all, that's the case , I don’t want to embarrass Brother An anymore. Tomorrow, I will come to the county government in person to interrogate criminals at night.”

"Night trial?" An Xun was taken aback.

"That's right! In the middle of the night, the criminals are interrogated at night."

An Xun suddenly felt unimaginable, and then thought of the reply letter from his cousin who was the Minister of the Household Department just this evening, telling him not to worry too much about trivial matters, and the most important thing for an official is to be wise and protect himself.Since the magistrate attaches great importance to this case, he might as well push the boat along and cooperate with the Shangguan.Then he hesitated to speak, raised his head to look at Hua Gengxun, his eyes met, and he couldn't help but let out a slight breath——

The man half closed his eyes, and two rays of light shot straight out, as if to penetrate the darkness of the alley.

The light is fleeting.Hua Gengxun walked out, and said as he walked, "Little brother is a little tired, so I'll go back first, Brother An, please go on your own."

Some light leaked in from the entrance of the alley, illuminating half of his side face, which was still perfect.

An Xun held his breath, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, in a daze, he could only hear the man's words, loud and clear:

"Remember, it must be in Zishi."

"Master! You are here!" Hua Yang called out from the east side of the market entrance, this is the place where Hua Gengxun agreed to meet him.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Why don't you play for a while, and you haven't met Miss Du?" Hua Geng said with a smile.

"Don't mention it, Miss Du saw it, but..." Hua Yang pouted, "I lost that hairpin, and I just gave it to her not long ago! The two of us searched together for a long time and couldn't find it. It must be Mrs. Squeeze out too much!"

Hua Gengxun comforted him and said, "If you really can't find it, let it be. I will give her another one when I find a chance. Anyway, your trip tonight is worthwhile, right?"

Hua Yang bowed his head and smiled shyly, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is Master An? Isn't the young master with him?"

"The night is cool and dew heavy, I'll resign him first and go back to the residence. What, you have something to do with him?"

"Oh, it's Juan'er... yes, Miss Du asked me to give this to Mrs. An." Hua Yang raised the peace talisman in his hand and said, "This is what Miss Du asked for in Qixia Temple to thank Mrs. An." The blackmail case of the tea shop that my lord tried at the end of last year, thanks to Mrs. An's insight, helped them get justice. She said that Mr. An is a noble character, and ordinary money and vulgar things are not worthy of him, so she had to give some gifts from her heart and call me Make sure he accepts it."

"I think Ms. Du and her daughter's family were too embarrassed to present it in person, so I asked you to do it for me, right?"

Hua Yang scratched his head: "It's a pity that I didn't meet Master An..."

"What's so difficult about it, I'll give it to him." Hua Geng said, "I often get together with him, and you know that."

"Okay, okay, then please trouble the young master." Hua Yang happily handed the safety amulet to Hua Gengxun.

"Hey, there's a revolving lantern over there, hurry up!"

"Slow down and wait for me!"

"..."

Out of nowhere, two young men jumped out, like two mud loaches, they were able to move freely in the sea of ​​people, slipping past Hua Gengxun as soon as they caught a crack.

A string of laughter, scattered along the way.

They are only fourteen or fifteen years old, holding hands and shoulders, playing freely, without any scruples.

It is the best time when you don't know the feeling of sorrow.

Suddenly, something sprouted from the heart, and the branches sprouted, and the roots stretched downward like needles, stabbing firmly and painfully.

"Master?" Seeing the master's rare distraction, Hua Yang reminded him in a low voice.

Hua Gengxun immediately came back to his senses, and said, "Let's go."

In fact, that needle has been in the bottom of my heart for six years. No matter how you shake it or pull it, you can't move it a little bit.

Leaving the prosperity behind him to the world of mortals, he once again blended into the dark night.Perhaps, only this bottomless night is he——

The best destination.
