burning beans

As the time approached, the feast came to an end, and when it was over, all the officials congratulated Cui Yan one after another.However, Cao Zhi excused himself from drinking too much and felt unwell, so he avoided the crowd and took a car and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.For the first time, he left without saying hello to Cao Pi.

Silently looking at Cao Zhi's slightly lonely figure, Cao Pi suddenly felt his heart was pulled hard: Zhi'er, I'm sorry...now, it's not enough, I don't have enough strength to protect us.You wait for me, wait for me to be like my father, I must, must... I lowered my head and forced myself not to look at it, but saw the draft I typed just now, the light and joyful words and sentences, at this moment, it seemed inexplicable dazzling.Looking up to drink a glass of cold bitter wine, Cao Pi suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball, but when he was about to tear it, he let it go and let it fall back on the table.Supporting his forehead with one hand, Cao Pi closed his eyes in pain.It seemed that a guard came over to ask something, but Cao Pi didn't want to bother, so he nodded casually.His consciousness seemed to be drifting away. When he felt himself supported by a few pairs of arms, Cao Pi suddenly realized: I seem to be drunk...

Climb to the high platform to look forward, the beautiful Lixian of the sparrow.Feige rises with its special features, and the floors are like the sky.Take a leisurely step to be with each other, and chat with you in Xishan.The valleys are interlaced, and the vegetation is connected with each other.The wind flutters and blows the clothes, and the birds fly past.Shen hesitated to look around, the Tongchuan in the corner of Lincheng.

In the days that followed, the prime minister's mansion was filled with joy everywhere, red silk, red brocade, red paper... Even if you try hard to ignore it, you will be naturally attracted by the bright colors, which will increase your attention in vain. One point sentimental.After the night banquet at Tongque Terrace, Cao Zhi became a busy person all of a sudden. Whether it was preparing the dowry or decorating the new house, he always seemed to like to be involved in matters big and small.After dinner, the servants all said that the fourth son must be very fond of this beautiful wife who is about to pass the family. This word reached Cao Pi's ears like a sharp axe, which directly split his heart in two.He wanted to ask him, he wanted to explain to him, but Cao Zhi never said a word all day long.When tossing and turning every night, Cao Pi sometimes had a hint of hatred in his heart: Zijian, Zhi'er, how could you do this?But what followed was endless panic and sorrow: just because of a "very good", are you refusing to talk to me anymore?

On this day, Cao Pi habitually came to look for Cao Zhi again, but it was rare that Cao Zhi was in the house today.Feeling overjoyed and panicked at the same time, he made a silent gesture to the servant who wanted to inform, Cao Pi walked slowly into the house, but was instantly frozen in place and could no longer move.

In the room, Cao Zhi, dressed in a red gown, stood in front of the bronze mirror, carefully observing himself in the mirror from different angles. His hair, which was usually only tied up with a headband, was now neatly tied up in the crown. It has a calm and mature temperament.Beside him, a middle-aged man whom Cao Pi didn't know respectfully asked, "Is Pingyuan Hou satisfied?"

At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly felt how stupid he had been deceiving himself for more than a month.I deliberately didn't look at it, I didn't want to think about it, but today God suddenly told me clearly in this way: his Zhi'er will belong to someone else... A strong impulse surged up, wanting to put that dazzling body Pulling off his happy clothes, he wanted to hold that person tightly in his arms, and wanted to just hold that person in his arms and escape from here...to escape...but even if he really left, in this troubled world, he was still How to survive?How can I have the heart to let Zhi'er live a hard life with me?Cold helplessness welled up from the bottom of my heart, and gradually penetrated into the bone marrow, and it was so cold that Cao Pi could no longer move a little.

On the contrary, Cao Zhi first found Cao Pi who was standing silently at the door. He was taken aback for a moment, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. Then he pulled out a smile, turned around and walked in front of Cao Pi, and asked, "Does it look good?"

He opened his mouth, but his throat was so dry that he could hardly make a sound. After a long time, Cao Pi said in a shy voice, "It's beautiful." The already delicate skin is more fair and delicate against the bright red background. I don't know if it's because the hair is tied up. When you get up, the soft facial contours add a bit of three-dimensional feeling, beautiful and pure with a bit of masculine charm and temptation, and the dark eyes just look at you like this, making Cao Pi feel that he just wants to be like this Drowned in those two bottomless pools.

Seeing the fluctuating emotions in Cao Pi's eyes, Cao Zhi fell silent, suffering, struggling, hesitating, unwilling, not daring... How long ago did my brother show such a look?These are all... because of me?Cao Zhi was silent, and Cao Pi didn't know what to say for a moment. For the first time, the two brothers fell into an awkward silence.

At this time, a maid served tea, Cao Zhi's eyes flickered, as if he was relieved that there was finally something that could resolve the embarrassment at the moment, and said: "Since the second brother is here, please sit down and have a cup of tea." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick up one of the teacups, who knew that his hand slipped, the teacup tipped over, and the hot tea poured out instantly, and the brand new wedding gown was soaked in a large area.

The maid panicked and knelt down to admit her mistake and beg for mercy.The incident happened suddenly, before the rest of the people in the room could react, Cao Pi had already grabbed Cao Zhi's hand, and his tone was full of concern: "How is it? It's not hot, is it?"

"No..." Before Cao Zhi finished his answer, Cao Pi saw the white jade-like hand turn red quickly, and immediately became anxious, and shouted to the maids in the room: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you take it quickly?" The ointment for the burn?!" Then everyone came to their senses and hurriedly rummaged through the box to find the ointment.

Cao Pi lowered his head and saw that the maid serving tea was still kneeling on the ground. He immediately became angry and cursed, "You clumsy man, why are you still kneeling? Clean up the things on the ground and get punished!"

Cao Zhi was about to say a few words of love for the maid, but Cao Pi dragged him to the bedside and sat down, thinking that when did this person become so rude, but he saw the rude person carefully raised his sleeves, Gently blowing on the red mark, and asked from time to time: "Does it hurt?"

His heart suddenly softened as if it was about to melt, Cao Zhi unconsciously smiled, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't hurt. It's just a burn, it's fine."

At this time, the maid brought the ointment, Cao Pi took it, and gently spread it on the wound. As soon as the cool ointment touched the skin, Cao Zhi could not help but hiss, and his arm twitched.Although he quickly returned to normal, Cao Pi still stopped his movements: "Did I hurt you?"

Looking at Cao Pi who was nervous about himself, Cao Zhi's heart was filled to the brim, and his emotions seemed to overflow. He wanted to rub into his arms and act like a baby, and wanted to tell him that he was really lonely and missed him these days. She wanted to ask him why he answered that way, wanted to...but with everyone around, she had no choice but to control her emotions.Painful in the heart, but so sweet, Cao Zhi couldn't help laughing: "No. It doesn't hurt at all, really."

Seeing that Cao Zhi had a smile on his face, Cao Pi was a little relieved, and then lowered his head and concentrated on applying medicine for Cao Zhi.

Greedyly looking at the gentle and attentive Cao Pi, Cao Zhi felt a twitch in his heart, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, but saw the tailor who came to deliver the clothes was still standing silently, looking at the tea stains on the clothes, Cao Zhi was a little sorry Said: "It's a pity that I ruined the clothes just delivered today. I'm really sorry. I wonder if I can trouble the master to make another one? Just follow the size of this one."

The tailor quickly responded: "The villain understands. The villain will go back first."

Cao Zhi nodded, and after the tailor left the room, Cao Pi also got up and said: "The medicine is ready, you should be careful these few days, don't get wet, remember to change the medicine on time. Second brother has to leave beforehand." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cao Zhi to answer, he turned and left, leaving only one with a somewhat lonely back.

Cao Zhi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call Cao Pi to stop, but he didn't make a sound, but his eyes kept looking at the direction the man was leaving, and his uninjured hand pinched deeply into the brocade quilt under him, but he didn't say anything. self-knowledge.

In a trance, the days passed day by day.Two days later, it will be the day when Cao Zhi welcomes his relatives. The entire Cao Mansion has become a sea of ​​red, and everyone's face is full of joy, except Cao Pi at this moment.

There is no wind, no morning, a full moon hangs high in the night sky, the bright white brilliance is quietly sprinkled in the courtyard, and the branches that have just sprouted buds cast sparse shadows on the ground, just like the people who are in Cao's mansion at this moment Cao Pi's state of mind.

Leaning by the window of the study, Cao Pi silently poured himself a drink.I don't know how much wine I drank, but I didn't feel drunk at all. On the contrary, I became more and more sober. Cao Pi couldn't help laughing at himself: Now, is it impossible to even get drunk?

Light footsteps sounded from the corridor, as if they were walking towards here.Cao Pi frowned: Didn't you tell them not to disturb?who is this

Sure enough, the footsteps stopped in front of the door, followed by a light knock on the door, a little impatient, Cao Pi said irritably, "Who?" There was a hint of anger in his tone.

The person outside the door seemed to be taken aback, the knock on the door stopped, but no footsteps were heard, the person hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth tentatively: "Zihuan?"

The voice that appeared in Yeye's dream really came to his ears at this moment, and Cao Pi was stunned: Zhi'er?How could it be him?What is he here for?Somewhat puzzled and somewhat pleasantly surprised, Cao Pi also asked tentatively: "Zhi'er?"

The person outside the door answered quickly this time: "It's me. Can I come in?"

The heartbeat quickened unconsciously, Cao Pi dropped the wine glass in his hand, and walked to the door in three steps at a time, but he took his hand back abruptly the moment he put the latch on: "What's the matter? It's late at night, if There's nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow." Even if we met, so what?Besides, my emotions are too chaotic tonight, I can't guarantee that I can't control what I do later, if I hurt Zhi'er...

The people outside the door fell silent, and Cao Pi didn't ask any further questions. Across the door, both of them fell into their own thoughts.After a long time, Cao Zhi said slowly, "Zihuan, I miss you."
