When Zhou Leya headed towards the Qinghui Garden, Zhou Wende was discussing matters in the study in Zhou Wende's mansion.

The study is not big, Yu Shiling is only a third-rank official, and the house specially built by the imperial court is only a three-entry courtyard. However, the furnishings in the study are elegant and not luxurious.Of course, these decorations were contributed by Zhou Boya.

In the study room, there were two people sitting at the small table by the window.

A middle-aged man with a dignified face, and a handsome and gentle young man.

"Le Ya has arrived in the capital today." The young man said, his tone was indifferent, as if a little careless, "I asked Jianshi to take him to my Qinghui Garden first."

The middle-aged man listened, frowned, looked at the young man, his eyes revealing inquiry, "Why is it arranged in Qinghui Garden?"

"Father, in the current situation, if Le Ya is allowed to live here, it will only involve Le Ya in the situation. Those people have been inquiring about the disciples of the King of Medicine all these years. You know Le Ya's temperament. He doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he is stubborn. He just wants to help his father. If he gets involved, I'm afraid he won't get out. At that time, if it's because of Le Ya, he will leave him alone. What the King of Medicine also mentioned..." The young man didn't continue, but the implication was already clear.

The middle-aged man was silent. He knew that the eldest son Boya in front of him was right, but... he always wanted to reunite with the younger son who had been separated for three years... Forget it, in Qinghui Garden, it is not very easy to meet each other. trouble.

Zhou Wende sighed, waved his hands and said, "You can arrange it." After a pause, he urged, "Take good care of Le Ya."

Zhou Boya smiled, "Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of Le Ya." For those who have been thinking about it for so many years, he naturally...will take good care of her.

Zhou Wende looked at the eldest son in front of him, and nodded slowly because he mentioned the soft breath that the younger son naturally exudes. In the past three years, he finally understood, except that the younger son, Le Ya, can make the eldest son reveal his true emotions. , other people, including him and his wife, can only see the "gentle and kind" side of the elder son. Although this makes him a little discouraged, but the two sons have a good relationship, and he is happy to see the results. It is better than the concubine son fighting among himself Bar.

"Although the reputation of Peach Blossom Teahouse is becoming more and more prosperous, you are Guiguzi's disciple after all, so don't act biased, so as not to cause trouble for Mr. Guiguzi." Zhou Wende changed the subject.

Zhou Boya nodded and responded respectfully, "Yes, my son understands."

Seeing Zhou Boya's straightforward answer, Zhou Wende frowned instead. He couldn't understand Boya's behavior more and more. Peach Blossom Tea House has been the most beautiful place in Kyoto in the past three years, although Boya never mentioned it to outsiders. He is his bastard, but how could those foxes not know?He didn't understand, Boya held the Taoyuan Club, which he still didn't know about, so why waste time and energy running this peach blossom teahouse?

Although he didn't understand Boya's actions, he knew that Boya had his own reasons for doing things, and he never said much, but only occasionally reminded him not to cause too much trouble.

But... in terms of marriage, he has to take care of it!

"You're over twenty, it's time to start a family." Zhou Wende said in a deep voice abruptly.

Zhou Boya remained silent, lowering his eyes to conceal the gloomy displeasure in his eyes.

Marriage, parents' order, matchmaker's words, Zhou Boya can't avoid it, right?

Fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Father, in a few days, Li Xiuyu, a descendant of the Li family, will go to Lingxiu Temple to offer incense." Zhou Boya said lightly.

Zhou Wende was taken aback, a collateral branch of the Li family?Li Xiuyu?Hey, wait!When did Boya take a fancy to this girl from the Li family? ?Although he was puzzled in his heart, on the face, Zhou Wende smiled happily, that's great!My son is finally getting married!

After Zhou Boya finished speaking, he got up slowly, bowed to Zhou Wende, said that he was going back to Qinghui Garden first, and then turned to leave.

Zhou Wende stood in the study, watching Zhou Boya go away, frowned worriedly, just now he was only interested in being happy, so could it be that Miss Li Xiuyu came here randomly because Boya was impatient to be urged by him?Marriage is not a trifling matter, he doesn't want Boya to live a life of respecting each other like a guest without seeing each other in the future!

Hey, let's take it easy, according to Boya's temper, if he really has someone he loves, he will definitely get married.

In the inner city of Kyoto, unless there is a special grant from the imperial court, you are not allowed to ride a horse. Zhou Boya is sitting in the carriage and frowning. The rule that you cannot ride a horse in the inner city is really troublesome!He wished he could appear in Qinghui Garden right now!

Zhou Boya's fingers bent subconsciously. It's been three years, and I don't know how much Le Ya has grown taller. His brows and eyes should be open, and his temper should not have changed much. He will always pass on what happened around Le Ya, even if he is not by Le Ya's side, he knows everything about Le Ya, but...he didn't see Le Ya, didn't touch Le Ya with his own hands, everything was just nothingness.

Slowly taking a deep breath, Zhou Boya suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. Le Ya is about to celebrate the fan-folding ceremony, and the three years he promised his master have passed. Now, except for his parents, there is nothing that can hinder him!

And as for the secular?That has never been in Zhou Boya's consideration, in the face of absolute power, it is just a vulgar thing that is vulnerable to a single blow!

"Young master! Li Qingyu, Ronghe, and General Shen Gaoyi have already headed towards the capital." Outside the carriage, Yu Shi whispered.

Zhou Boya hummed lightly, the three-year agreement has come, it's strange that the master doesn't come to the capital, but... Li Qingyu also came?Is it because of Li Xuanyu?In the past three years, Zhang Junming's army in the northern border has been flourishing. Li Zhiyuan has become a local official and is in charge of the southern border. Only Li Xuanyu has wandered around and left the court completely. , then Li Qingyu also traveled around. Three months ago, Li Xuanyu was summoned into the capital by him, and now Li Qingyu has also followed.

Zhou Boya was thoughtful, maybe he could use Li Qingyu a little bit?

Kyoto is divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city has the imperial palace, as well as the residences of the sixth family and princes and ministers. The outer city is mostly civilians and merchants, as well as officials under the fifth rank. As for slaves, they are not eligible to live in the city of Kyoto. Outside the city of Kyoto, there are scattered manors and gardens, all of which are the private properties of wealthy businessmen and officials, and Qinghui Garden is among them.

The road twists and turns, and gradually moves away from the manor and gardens. In the depths of the lush woods, after passing a valley, there is a quaint manor in front of you.There is a plaque on the gate with the words "Qinghui Garden" and two stone lions at the gate.Peach trees are planted from the valley to the manor, and the bluestone path in front of the gate of the manor is covered with falling petals.

Elegant, quiet, and serene.

Zhou Leya opened the curtain of the carriage, jumped off the carriage, looked up and looked around, and saw that it was the place of Taoyuan Club.

At the gate of Qinghui Garden, Moshi and an old man were waiting respectfully. When they saw Zhou Leya, the two of them hurriedly knelt down and bowed respectfully, "Little Moshi (Zhou Shi) pays respects to the second young master."

Zhou Leya stepped forward slowly, motioned for the two to get up, and then walked inside.

Mo Shi and the housekeeper named Zhou Shi took a step back, and Hong Shi and Xi Fu Beixi followed.

Zhou Leya entered Qinghui Garden and walked slowly, looking at the surrounding scenery. To his surprise, the scenery inside was similar to his bamboo forest in Taoyuan Mountain.There is a large bamboo forest in the front yard, with a main room and small courtyards on the left and right. The main room is used for receiving guests on weekdays. The inside is divided into a lobby and a small flower hall, and small courtyards on the left and right. At the end of the corridor is a small forest. After sniffing, there is a faint medicinal fragrance in the politeness. There must be medicinal herbs growing in this small forest!

"Second Young Master, this is the medicine field that the Eldest Young Master ordered the younger ones to set up." Mo Shi, who was observing his words, said quickly.

Zhou Leya was stunned for a moment, and then she frowned, her elder brother still understood him, and his favorite thing was making herbs.

Zhou Leya walked in along the grove. At the end of the grove was a one-acre medicine field. Behind the medicine field was a bamboo house built on the lake. The bamboo house was very large. On the platform in front of the bamboo house was a stone pavilion. Walking over the stone bridge on the lake, there is only such a bamboo house on the lake. After walking around the stone pavilion, I entered the bamboo house. There is a main hall in the bamboo house, and behind the main hall are the study room and the living room. When I saw the decoration of the wing room, I was stunned. The decoration of the wing room was exactly the same as the residence in the bamboo forest three years ago. Zhou Leya couldn't help but guess that my brother might have moved all the wing rooms from the bamboo forest here.

Fumbling here and there in the wing room, Zhou Leya couldn't hide her excitement and joy. His happiest days were the days in Medicine King Valley, the days when he lived with his brother...

Zhou Leya turned out of the wing room and walked towards the study. In the study, it was indeed decorated with the same decorations as when he was in the bamboo forest. In his brother's heart, those days in the bamboo forest are also unforgettable, right?

Zhou Leya walked slowly towards the back of the bamboo house. There was a larger platform in front of the bamboo house. There were a few water lilies in the corner of the platform. Looking carefully, it turned out that the water lilies were placed in the lake. There was also a wooden swing with two ends tied to each other. On two trees, and that tree is a waterside tree, a kind of tree that can be used for medicine, it can only grow in water, touch the waterside tree, this tree must be at least fifty years old, waterside tree It's not easy to grow, and I don't know where my elder brother transplanted it from. There are only two trees in Yaowang Valley that are more than 200 years old.

There is no stone bridge behind the platform, that is to say, the bamboo house on the lake has only one exit from the stone bridge. Zhou Leya stood quietly and looked at the mountain wall facing the bamboo house. It turns out that Qinghui Garden is surrounded by mountains. built by the lake.

It's just...it's too quiet, apart from Hongshi and the others, he can hardly feel any other popularity in Qinghui Garden. His father, mother, brother and sister are not here.

None of them... live here?

When his elder brother gave him the blueprint of Qinghui Garden and asked him to design it, he didn't say whether his parents and younger brother would live in Qinghui Garden, but he naturally took his parents, younger siblings into consideration when designing, Looking around now, although his design is basically used, it is obvious that the yard he designed for his parents has been replaced by a forest or garden.

——Or, from the very beginning, Qinghui Garden was not the residence of parents?

Suddenly, there was another kind of excitement, joy, and eagerness in her heart. Zhou Leya turned around subconsciously, and saw a person striding towards him through the bamboo house. It was a smile of joy that came to him.

For a moment, Zhou Leya only felt a short-term suffocation.

And then, a strong hug, tight, and a warm breath came out of his nostrils. He was familiar with the breath as if he was breathing himself, but it seemed strange that he hadn't been close to it for three years. His eye sockets are a little pantothenic.

"Le'er...you're back."

The gentle and deep voice that seemed to be whispering softly came to mind.

Zhou Leya's eyes slowly blurred: brother... I'm back.

Zhou Leya recalled two years ago, when he and Mr. Ronghe met and lived together by chance, Mr. Ronghe once said something when he mentioned General Shen: "There is such a person in this world, he is what you lack. A certain part of your life, when you meet him, even if you are far away from each other, you will not be able to forget each other, and even, you will spend your whole life entangled with him to the end, never ending. No matter this person is Who, no matter who this person is, no matter if this person is beautiful or ugly, you have nothing to do..."

Zhou Leya thought that his elder brother must be such a person. Mr. Rong He said, "How fortunate to meet such a person." Now, after three years, seeing his brother again, he thought, how lucky is it to be able to There is an older brother like an older brother.

It's just—it doesn't have to be entangled to the end, and it doesn't have to be endless.

Zhou Leya was hugged too tightly, so she raised her hand and pushed Zhou Boya's shoulder: brother, relax a bit.

Zhou Boya smiled lowly, and the laughter revealed teasing and some hidden emotions. Zhou Boya looked down at Zhou Leya, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his eyes were still clean and clear. Except for some openings, there was nothing else. too much change.

Zhou Boya slowly stretched out his hand, gently touched Zhou Leya's eyebrows, cheeks, nose, and then... slowly fell on Zhou Leya's lips, Zhou Boya's eyes darkened following the touch.But Zhou Leya immediately turned her head to avoid the ambiguous touch on her lips.

Zhou Boya followed Zhou Leya's subconscious sideways head to avoid, smiled lightly, then turned Zhou Leya's chin, lowered his head, and took a bite!

Zhou Leya's eyes widened, and she was caught off guard in surprise: Brother? !

Although Zhou Boya bit fiercely, but he was not willing to use force, and quickly let go, with a gentle smile that succeeded, and the deep domineering and domineering eyes that were no longer taboo, Zhou Boya's hoarse voice He said, "You made me wait too long, Leer."
