sunset fever

Dao Wu Qing Tong Peanut New Seed

Lamenting the unlucky lotus leaves returning to the old morning

-

In February, the waking sting, insects began to emerge, Fushan came with continuous rain, the weather was warm, the newly arrived medicinal materials were unloaded from the car, there was an accountant to count them, and they were taken into the warehouse from the back door of Nanpu hall; the rain and fog were wet With the tip of her shoes on, Xiao Tanqing pulled up her hairpin and wore a light gray and peach pink outfit. Her face was warm and gentle. She smiled at the busy handymen and led them into the small hall in the backyard to drink tea.

Xiao Tanqing had to take a breather after seeing off the guests after a break of greetings. She looked a little flustered when Yan You came back from outside. He was wearing a gray satin cloak with butterfly flowers embroidered by Xiao Tanqing herself.

"Second son, the goods are all in the warehouse."

The sky was gray, and Xiao Tanqing's thin body was blocked by Yan You's body practicing martial arts. For some reason, Xiao Tanqing's eyes turned black.

Yan You was still the same as usual, without smiling, she whispered: "Your complexion is not very good."

"I have to ask Dr. Du to show me."

"What's the matter?" Yan You asked, but she didn't look like she was eager for an answer. When speaking, she slowly wrapped Xiao Tanqing's waist around her, hugged her from behind, touched her from her heart, and slid it to her abdomen. .

Yan You's voice became even lower, with obsession in his indifference, and he didn't know if he had lost his temper again, and asked in Xiao Tanqing's ear, "Is it... yes?"

"No," Xiao Tanqing's face turned pale in panic. She tried to avoid Yan You's approach, but was held even tighter. She could only say without confidence, "You were still like that last night...don't worry, I I'm going to find Dr. Du now, it shouldn't be a serious illness, it's just that my back is sore and weary, and I can't eat."

"It's getting warmer." Xiao Tanqing sighed again.

The two people's eyes met, Xiao Tanqing was still avoiding in a humble way, she was too respectful, even though she was married to him, until Xiao Tanqing bowed his knees and left, Yan You didn't say anything more.

The room was dark, but fortunately there was a window facing the courtyard in the consulting room, Xiao Tanqing lifted the curtain, still thinking about bringing a candlestick for Du Yinkang, her eyes lost focus, and the next moment, she found the place to look in the room.

A man sitting on his back was wearing a cloak made of egg green satin, with black hair covering his back, sitting upright, facing Du Yinkang, he rolled up his sleeves and held out his wrist.

"Ma'am." Du Yinkang greeted.

Xiao Tanqing trembled all over, she leaned against the door frame and refused to move anymore, tears flowed like springs, and they were all over her eyelashes and cheeks.

Yan Xiu turned his head and stood up. He was a little flustered, with an unknown disappointment on his face, and he no longer had the old calm from the inside out; he was thinner, so his eyes dimmed, his expression was still beautiful, and he was tall. And handsome.

It was indeed too dark in the room, and even the faces of people could not be seen clearly.

"Ma'am?" Yan Xiu repeated Du Yinkang's words in a confused voice.

Xiao Tanqing couldn't answer anything, her eyes dimmed for a while, and there was a turbulent heat in her abdomen. She felt uncomfortable anywhere, and when she raised her head again, she fell down weakly and lost consciousness.

The rain fell more quickly.

Yan You chose a place to sit in front of the door, and he looked like before again, with his legs crossed and his back leaning on the pillar. He looked up at the eaves, where clear drops of water were constantly being torn off.

"What's the matter?" Yan Xiu who came from the room stood aside and looked at the sky, and told him, "Aren't you happy about becoming a father? Go and see Tan Qing."

"Why aren't you surprised? I'm married to your Tong adopted wife. I know she's always liked you, and I understand...Of course, I'm still happy that you can come back."

I don't know if she is really happy, but Yan You can see that there is a bit of frustration and pain on Yan You's face, Yan Xiu replied: "I shouldn't stop you, you know, I have no love for her."

A drop of water fell on the back of Yan You's hand, and he said: "At that time, the magistrate sent a letter saying that you were provoking Ao to commit a crime and were executed."

"What happened on this trip can't be summed up in a few words. It's good to be alive," Tianmu wept, and the smell of mud choked into his nostrils. Yan Xiu glanced across the intersection of the eaves and the sky, and sighed softly, " It's best to be alive."

After noon, I first found a car to take Xiao Tanqing back to the house, accompanied by Yan You, Yan Xiu stayed in Nanpu Hall, helping the clerk to do some things, he didn't plan to go to the doctor immediately, he needed to rest after a long journey, he was in a sad state of mind Also calm down.

There were many voices in the house, because Yan You invited a few servants and a cook like other bosses and wealthy businessmen. When Yan Xiu arrived home, dusk was approaching, the rain stopped, and warm wind was blowing everywhere.

Xiao Tanqing came from the room, lying down with her eyelids slightly swollen. When she sat down, Yan You wanted to help her. Yan Xiu didn't know what was wrong. His thoughts were still drifting away, and he was also warm and lost for returning home.

Xiao Tanqing turned her head to look at Yan Xiu, her expression was full of doubts, joy of reunion, and sadness of long absence, she said, "My lord, sit down too."

Yan You looked into Yan Xiu's eyes, and Yan Xiu also sat down at the dining table. The two brothers were somewhat honest, and Yan Xiu could probably guess what Yan You was thinking. Brother."

"Yes."

Xiao Tanqing still couldn't hide her humbleness since she was a child, especially when facing Yan Xiu, she really had a child with Yan's blood in her belly, but it made her feel uneasy. absurd.

The homemade Fushan flavor made by the cook, I specially prepared a lot today, and what was served was a sumptuous table-salted cabbage heart, roast goose, honey sauce roast pork, cooked Tai Chi shrimp, hundred flower fish maw; crabapple mushrooms are fresh and tender, and oysters are golden brown , as well as papaya snow fungus, stewed black-bone chicken and chestnuts...

Eating at home is not like Chongcheng, which requires respect and etiquette, and some people who try dishes, serve dishes, and pour wine bother.Yan You served soup for Xiao Tanqing, and a bowl for Yan Xiu, and said slowly, "Brother, you didn't tell me about your trip, there is a reason for it, now that you're home, just stay at ease."

Yan Xiu suspects that he is too sensitive, he feels that Yan You has changed a lot, not as reticent as before, he speaks more cleverly, trying his best to be impeccable, but he is also a bit reckless, unable to hide his jealous thoughts.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I have to pick a spare time and tell you slowly."

Yan Xiu didn't want to speak harsh words to him, otherwise it would really become a child's fight, Xiao Tanqing sipped the soup and bowed his head in silence.

She was also a little surprised. Usually, Yan You is a bit arrogant in arbitrariness, even on the bed, but today he is different. He carried her to the car from Nanputang, and after returning home, he sent people back and forth to change better quilts and cook her. The tonic soup came, feed and drink.

Yan You picked out the fish bones and piled the meat into Xiao Tanqing's bowl. She looked directly at him timidly, and said softly: "I feel sick to my stomach, eat it by yourself."

Yan You, whose expression suddenly became angry, held his chopsticks in a daze for a moment, turned his face to the side, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Your stubbornness is like a disease, when will it get better."

The faces of the two of them became pale, and they quarreled for a while, but they couldn't tell the right from the wrong. When Xiao Tanqing was about to surrender, he found that Yan Xiu, who was at the side, lowered his neck and messed with the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks. He pressed his forehead, sucked his nose a few times, and tears fell down.

"My lord... what's the matter?" She hurriedly handed over the handkerchief at hand, and said, "Brother, we won't quarrel anymore, you have worked so hard all the way, it made you worry."

Yan You sat there in a daze, and after a while, she called out: "Brother?"

Yan Xiu raised his face, he didn't cry too badly, he always stopped his tears, his eyes were red, he moved his eyes upwards, stared at the familiar interior decoration, Yan Xiu said: "It's not because of you, I am too I haven't been at home for a long time, so I feel emotional, Geng Sheng, you accompany Tanqing, I will go back to my room first."

People feel sorry for the extreme, and they don't want to get along with others. Yan Xiu almost fled to his own room. He leaned against the hard wooden door, and there was no light in the room. When he slipped down, his feet were soft when he cried bitterly.

Yan Xiu raised his hand and touched the hairpin from his head, but it was not enough to hold it, so he wrapped it with his palm and pressed it to his heart, the sharp part of the metal hit the wound that was just right, and the pain spread again.

After a long time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, and a halo shrouded the outside. Xiao Tanqing was standing on the steps in front of the door with a burning candle in her hand. She said slowly, "My lord, what's on your mind? I am more concerned than you." I'm one year older, and I'm not used to calling him elder brother. It's useless to check Qingqing, and I can't help you."

Yan Xiu replied: "It has nothing to do with others, and I don't need any help."

"I came to you with Geng Sheng behind my back, just to say something frankly. I married Geng Sheng because of the news that you were executed at that time. He said he wanted me to save Yan's family, so I saved—"

"Don't lie to him."

"I don't, he knows that I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either," Xiao Tanqing frowned lightly, the candlelight reflected her fair face, her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth were soft and delicate, she knelt down, Put the candle on the ground and say, "No matter what you think, I have followed you since I was a child. Now it is Tan Qing who betrayed me first, and I hope to get your forgiveness. From now on, Tan Qing will still take care of you, not asking for anything." Repayment is just to fulfill the destiny, and also let Madam feel at ease under the Nine Springs."

Yan Xiu stood up, went to the table, lit the lamp, turned around and opened the door, stood looking at Xiao Tanqing, and said, "Get up, don't ask for forgiveness, you are a living person, who are you with?" Whatever, you're not mine, never have been."

Xiao Tanqing's expression was stagnant, looking at the uppers of Yan Xiuyi's lowered shoes, two thin lines of tears flowed down from his eyelids that hadn't blinked for a long time, Xiao Tanqing said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Thank you."

She seemed to be sighing softly, and it seemed that her heart had completely died. The child in her womb would be a living creature, and would grow into an adult. She would be surnamed Yan, and would call her "mother".

Sorrow and joy are hard to connect. When Xiao Tanqing's heart was ashamed, Yan Xiu's heart was also ashes. However, it was for a completely different reason. The figure was like a corpse that could walk around, and he was in a daze. From Yangjing to here, if he didn't close his eyes, he would mistakenly feel that Standing in the peach care hall.

Yan Xiu imitated Yan You's words and said: "My longing is like a disease, when will I get better."

Looking up, Xiao Tanqing's slender back has always respectful haste, firmness and agility, and also fled in a hurry hidden in small places but soaked in the whole body.

Yan Xiu was about to divination, but he stopped because he couldn't calm down. He changed into pajamas and lay down after washing up. The room was cleaned by servants in the afternoon, so everything was clean and fresh.

He should find a time to go to Chunqi Mountain, to Chuitongxuan to look for Ye Shengzi.

When the lights go out, people are overwhelmed by the light of the moon. When the moon is about to be full again, Yan Xiu has not seen Chen Bizhen for a long time. He understands that when a person dies, he is destroyed. What's fresh, what's fresh, what's lingering, is strangled and discarded to a place where there will never be regeneration.

It was extremely cold in the twelfth lunar month, but Chen Bizhen was wearing thin clothes. He climbed up the tree, his head was sweating from exhaustion, but he still had a smile on his face. inside."

Frightened by the more than a dozen servants and maids of the Peach Care House at the bottom of the tree, Yan Xiu raised his head and sighed, and said to him helplessly: "Come down quickly."

That gesture fluttered its wings downward, circled twice, and then stopped on Shanyin's arm. Chen Bizhen also made a gesture to jump, he smiled mischievously, without any airs, flew down and stood in front of Yan Xiu, A few grains of sweat on the eyebrows are about to freeze into ice beads.

It was an early morning in winter, and when I spoke, there was a shadow of fog in front of my eyes.

Yan Xiu looked at him, went to grab his cold hand, grabbed it, and warmed it under the sleeves reservedly, away from the half-dispersed crowd, pulled Chen Bizhen, who was still wearing a shirt robe, closer, and said: "Don't do this , I am afraid that you will fall."

After listening to it blankly, Chen Bizhen laughed after understanding it, the tip of his nose was stiff with cold but it didn't matter, he moved up to the house in the courtyard and kissed Yan Xiu's mouth.
