sunset fever

The Changxi River is flooded, old grass is dry

Huaiqing Palace puts out the heat of the setting sun in the daytime

-

When the Changxi River was about to swell, there were not too many people around the bank. They were wearing thin clothes under the light blue sky, and the wind was neither cold nor hot, but soft and quiet.

Yan's mansion is nearby. Walking from the alley and going inward, I met many people who lived nearby, but naturally there would be no faces that Yan Xiu was familiar with.

It's been too long, after more than 20 years, there are only some dilapidated walls and roofs, faded doors and windows, and a yard full of weeds. It doesn't look like a place where people often live, but like a wild desperate situation.

There are still people who went to tidy and clean the house early. The door is open, and it is mottled, and the dark and light colors form a strange picture. The plaque on the door has long since disappeared.

A cobweb came from nowhere and stuck to the bridge of the nose, Yan Xiu stretched out his hand and pulled the light-colored thin thread away, he said: "Fortunately, I cleaned it up in advance."

"It's not finished yet," Chen Bizhen said while holding a folding fan, with a heavy expression, always thinking endlessly, "should have sent them over earlier."

"That," Yan Xiu said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as he entered the door. He bent down and stroked the corner of the brick behind the door, "When I was just starting to study, when I wanted to sleep too much and didn't dare to be lazy, it was here. Sleep, I will nibble my forehead when I fall asleep."

Yan Xiu wore a dark blue gauze woven coat with peacock pattern. Looking at it this way, his back was extremely thin and elegant. He straightened up and turned around to walk in.

The scenery inside is not as good as the outside. It has been smashed and burned, and it has been corroded by wind and rain for many years.

It's like being in a broken city without walls.

He looked around and thought lightly: "It was all burned, and I can't see the original appearance... It wasn't like this before, it wasn't so broken when I left."

The burnt smell caused by the high temperature has long been dissipated by the wind, leaving only the wooden broken walls and unattended gardens. The vegetation still grows stubbornly after the fire, and has experienced winter and spring rain and snow year after year. .

Chen Bizhen called his followers over and gave some orders. Afterwards, he didn't know what to respond to. He felt lost and at a loss, and was even more shocked.

Imagination is always imagination. On this day, seeing the incomplete appearance of the Yan Mansion with his own eyes, Chen Bichen truly realized that there had been a huge change at that time. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if the eyelids were half transparent. The sunshine can take people back to the past.

Chen Bizhen seemed to hear the crisp laughter of children playing, the conversations of adults, the footsteps of servants, and the clear pool in the courtyard flooding and fishes bobbing their heads.

On a rainy day in late spring, water drops hit the surface of the light blue pool.

"I sent a letter to Reao yesterday. Ke Zhilin is the most ingenious in building this kind of garden. He will come to Yangjing soon." Chen Bizhen didn't feel that he was so great, and even these plans were not even compensation in his opinion. ,

It's not that he is rushing to bear the guilt of his parents, it's just that Chen Butie wants to make Yan Xiu happy.

Like a person who carefully presents treasures, he opened his eyes wide open, looking at Yan Xiu, waiting for his reply.

Yan Xiu said, "You shouldn't think that this is what you should do and has nothing to do with you."

"But I want you not to be sad. If you can really live back, you will be happy, right?" Chen Bizhen opened the fan and closed it again. He raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smart smile.

Yan Xiu knew that he couldn't help it, so he didn't cry just now when he saw the ruins, but after Chen Bizhen finished speaking, he wanted to cry, so he could only bear it, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Then listen to you, I know it's useless to refuse , but the money I still—”

"I still have the money."

"Anything less is your money."

Chen Bizhen made up his mind, he stepped forward, and suddenly squeezed Yan Xiu's wrist very tightly, he said: "Don't care whose money it is, money is not that important, happiness is what matters, happiness is what matters."

Yan Xiu was dragged and couldn't break free, so he had to follow Chen Bizhen to the courtyard, they seemed to have escaped the hustle and bustle, and came to a strange place, desolate and quiet.

The sun doesn't seem to be that hot anymore.

Chen Bizhen said: "After this place is built, find a suitable shop on the street and open your pharmacy. If you don't like being in the palace, come here. I know you don't want to stay in the palace, but for the sake of I'm happy--"

"I don't want to."

The stones under his feet almost tripped Yan Xiu, he frowned and said.

"But you still prefer to open a pharmacy, don't you? Instead of staying in the Tai Medical Office, don't worry, you can be anywhere for me."

Yan Xiu pursed his lips and remained silent. He had to think about how to say what he wanted to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't say I didn't want to stay in the Imperial Medical Office, and I didn't say I opened a pharmacy."

Chen Bizhen didn't look back, Yan Xiu stared at him like a naive child, and sighed helplessly, Chen Bizhen walked slowly, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around with his back slightly arched, he burrowed into Yan Xiu's arms, and hugged Yan Xiu's waist up.

Yan Xiu was bewildered, surprised for a while, and then raised his hand quietly, stroking Chen Bizhen's hair.

In fact, he was still in a daze nervously.

A man came in front of Xisha Zhaimen. There was a light-colored wound on his face, which was not broken, but slightly swollen.

He raised his dark eyes and said in a low voice, "If you have something to say, get off your horse and say it."

Zhong Huashu still had that fake birthmark on her face. She didn't know much new news here or even in Yangjing. She didn't want to know much. She even resented hearing about the royal family. rumors.

She seemed to take a liking to avoidance.

"This is for cosmetics, powder and ointment, my lord, what do you want?" Zhong Huashu sat inside, holding a round fan.

The man raised his face a little higher, he took two steps forward abruptly, got closer, and said, "Passing through the Canghua Garden and returning to the Suihua Palace, I will change shifts with others and go to Master Qin's residence..."

Only then was Zhong Huashu able to see his appearance in detail, Zhong Huashu was surprised, opened his eyes and asked softly: "Qingming?"

Zhong Qingming just nodded, but he didn't seem to recognize Zhong Huashu, so he went straight to the side, found a chair and sat down.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Zhong Huashu stepped forward and pressed Zhong Qingming's shoulder. She looked into his eyes seriously, then went to the side, took a burning candle, and said, "At that time After all, you don't want to be my eyeliner, and I couldn't convince you even after trying my best, so I gave up those thoughts later, and I have to be thankful that I didn't hurt my son because of you."

Zhong Qingming responded, but still sat in a daze.

His eyes lost much luster, and his soul floated to another place. He turned his head and stared at Zhong Huashu's face.

Zhong Huashu gave him some snacks, and he ate them unceremoniously.

"I never expected that I would avoid meeting everyone in the past so much. I originally thought that my son and I would definitely go back, but later, he ran away. He didn't remember anything, so he would still run away," Zhong Huashu also said. Next, drink tea with Zhong Qingming and say, "I know that power will always attract me, but now, leisure is also attracting me. Maybe I am a person who cannot live with others for a long time. I just ignore it like this. It's pretty good, although I still miss my two children."

Zhong Huashu seems to never age, she is still smart, beautiful and youthful, she raised her chin and said, "Eat more, Qingming."

Zhong Qingming raised his head to drink his tea, and when he was done, he licked off the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth. He stood up, went to the shelf where the cosmetics were displayed, and stared at those beautiful boxes.

Zhong Huashu stood up and said, "Would you like it? If you want it, you can give it to the girl you like, and engrave her name on it, and I will engrave it for you."

After a while, Zhong Qingming turned around. He had no expression, was in a daze, rolled his eyes, and suddenly replied very lightly: "Okay."

Zhong Huashu then laughed, she went to the table to get a pen and paper, and asked him, "What kind of person is it?"

Zhong Qingming didn't know how to hold a pen anymore, his hands were still shaking slightly, and he was extremely careful.

Zhong Huashu said, "Come on, write her name."

I don't know what special power is driving Zhong Qingming's heart, Zhong Huashu is also extremely surprised, she stares at the paper in Zhong Qingming's hand, watching him write two words on it.

They are crooked and frizzy two.

Red Ruo.

It rained for eight consecutive days in Maple Valley Town.

On the morning of the ninth day, the rain gradually stopped, and everywhere was wet, green trees and grass, standing upright and lush under wanton watering. In front of the flower hall was a little girl, she was five or six years old, holding a handful of painted Dark blue wooden knife.

She turned her head, swung the wooden knife, and slashed at the adult behind her.

The adult resisted, rubbed her buns, and said, "Kongqing defeated me."

"I want a real knife." Yan Kongqing hugged Yin Yu's thigh.

It could be seen that Yin Yu doted on her, he was picking her up, and while turning around to enter the door, he said: "When you grow up, you will be able to use real knives. Your father also liked knives at that time, but he chose swords later. "

Yan Kongqing tilted his head and asked innocently: "Who is your father?"

"Your father, not my father, but Kong Qing's father, Kong Qing's father."

Sadness welled up in my heart.

Madam also came out, she touched Kong Qing's face, she raised her head when she stepped out of the threshold, looked not far away, it was just a random glance, but she saw Yan You right there.

He was wearing a dark green long gown with sleeves tied around his waist, and a dripping bamboo hat on his back. He met Madam's gaze, and then Yin Yu's gaze as well.

Several people were stunned, the damp air after the rain was heavy.

"Go inside." Yin Yu said.

Yin Yu didn't expect that Yan You knelt heavily as soon as he entered the yard. He didn't speak, but bent over and kowtowed three times.

The lady asked: "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just talk about it."

Kong Qing stayed in Yin Yu's arms, she was a stranger to Yan You, so she just looked at him quietly.

Yin Yu let Kong Qing down and asked his wife to take her back to her room.

"I pay my respects to Master. Geng Sheng hasn't returned for many years. He once hurt a good person with a sword and violated the prohibition order of the master. I implore the master to punish him severely." Yan You said in a deep voice.

Yin Yu was silent for a while, then sighed suddenly: "You should see your daughter before talking about other things. Also, Tanqing went to look for you and hasn't come back for several years."

Yan You knelt in a place with water, and he said, "She shouldn't have looked for me."

"Get up first, go in and say something else."

Yin Yu was naturally angry with Yan You, but he didn't want to embarrass him in the courtyard, so the two entered the room, and Yin Yu's other apprentices brought tea, Kong Qing was led by his wife, and she said: " Master, here I come again."

"This is your father, come and see him."

Yan You only dared to stand, he seemed to be dreaming, suddenly, he saw Kong Qing who had changed so much, she was beautiful and smart, she was witty and cute.

One finger was grabbed by Kong Qing and dangled.

Kong Qing said: "Father."

Perhaps, she really didn't understand what father meant, she shouted neatly, but a little embarrassed, she retreated and hid behind the madam.

Yan You raised his red eyes, with only one tear falling down, he said: "I'm going to Chunqi Mountain to find my wife, and I have to find Tanqing."
