Falling plum

◇four three◆

"Didn't my third brother go out during the day?"

"Returning to your lord, the third young master said that the young lady wanted to go to Tinghuadu to see the plum blossoms. We couldn't stop them, so we had to let them go out. However, they didn't stay in the Guanyin Temple for a long time, so they brought the young lady back with their subordinates, and stayed there ever since. Did not go out in the house."

"understood."

Liu Wenze's mouth remained calm, but his thoughts sank. This winter was extremely cold, and Tinghuadu's early plums didn't come out at all—he was looking for Mingxiang.

He slowly pushed open the door, saw Liu Wenqing sitting in front of the table, but did not see Abao, and asked casually, "Are the plum blossoms at Tinghuadu beautiful?"

Liu Wenqing looked at him, and calmly talked about another matter, "I sent A Bao away."

Liu Wenze searched everywhere in the house, on the bed, by the door, and even inside the huge coffin, but he did not see Abao.

"A Bao followed me, but also suffered."

Liu Wenqing said again.

He sent guards to surround the hut, so it was airtight. He didn't know how Liu Wenqing sent away without a trace, and he didn't know where Liu Wenqing said he sent A Bao, but he vaguely felt that he I may never see my daughter again.

"But, Liu Wenqing, have you ever thought that Abao is also my daughter?" He felt furious, because Liu Wenqing's self-assertion, and because he had never believed him, he took out the treasure that he had hidden in his sleeve for a long time. Liu's house deed, he originally wanted to tell him.He brought back the things of the Liu family for him, and he also found the murderer of Liu Ya for him.

——This was originally a small gift from him to please him.

He felt it was ridiculous. From the beginning to the end, Liu Wenqing seemed to be pure-hearted and ascetic, as if he didn't want anything. In fact, he didn't dare to ask for it, didn't dare to ask for the Liu family's inheritance, didn't dare to ask for his own daughter, and didn't dare to reach out for him. Because he didn't believe him from the beginning to the end, and he didn't believe it, he would put his hands in front of him with whatever he wanted.

He had told Liu Wenqing countless times—"You are not alone anymore", but Liu Wenqing was like a lonely coward across a river of lights, as timid as a mouse, never willing to say "he loves him too" .

Never dared to come to him.

They didn't have any quarrel that night, just like every time they had a quarrel, it was just a cold war without any words, but before, it was Liu Wenqing who bowed his head to coax him.

But he is no longer his younger brother, and Liu Wenqing will never come to coax him again. He is so stubborn, like an unresolved rock on a mountain, sealing himself in his home country and world, and he can't get rid of it no matter how hard he covers it. .

He left angrily and slammed the door open.

Because he left in a fit of anger, so I don't know, on the night he confronted him, Liu Wenqing finished writing the last line of "Chen Yuanlu", bound the last volume of "Haichao Wenzhi", and ended the long to Ten years of self-imprisonment.

His mentor Lu Xiang once said, "Take history as a mirror and reflect on yourself at night and in the morning." For half, they were imprisoned one after another, and their souls returned to the west.

"

In his last night in the volume he wrote:

"This article is for Xie Zhiqiu, Zhang Rong, Shen Duzhi, Lu Jianyu and others, and we and others. However, life is rough, old friends go west, and mentors return to heaven. However, I dare not forget Lanting's original intention."

"Ten years of shame, dazzling like a dream. The wind, frost, rain and dew are all life."

"Five years of persistence, although my way is lonely, I will always live up to what I entrust, fortunately."

There is only one last step left, which is to walk in front of His Majesty.

Liu Wenqing thought happily and sadly.

He picked up his pen and continued to write—

"In addition, I have been busy all my life, but I am not ashamed of the world, my friends, and my son. I owe a lot to my wife. It is a regret in my life. I hope I will repay it in the next life, so that I have not raised my eyebrows in my life."

He raised his head, only to find that Liu Wenze had stood at him with blue face at some point, looking at him with red eyes with a look that he couldn't understand, Liu Wenze was too tall, he could only look at him when he stood up.

Liu Wenqing looked at the tall and straight man in front of him, and knelt down without hesitation.

There were tears in his eyes, but his tone was pretending to be teasing. He said, "Master Yushi, I am grateful for finding out my father's injustice and clearing up the family tradition. Then can you do one last thing for Cao Min."

"what's up?"

"Take me to Beijing to complain for my teacher."

"it is good."

Liu Wenze's throat felt dry, it was unbearable.

◇ [-] [-] ◆

It has been five years since Prime Minister Lu's unjust death. In five years, many things can be downplayed, and it can also make people calm down and see many things clearly.

Lu Xiangwei has been around for nearly 20 years, and he is a thorn in the side that no one can touch. Even Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty must have a rival side in the court. .

But it is such a sharp-edged person who has been in the position of a minister for nearly 20 years.

It's incredible to think about it.

Lu Yin said that it was the sage Yulu's kindness, and Liu Wenqing thought, it's a lie.Obviously, the two of them quarreled in the court hall until they blushed and their necks were thick, but when they got out of the court hall, Lu Yin couldn't let others say a bad word about the emperor.

Such a sincere person as Lu Yin, who has been in power for 20 years, has been Emperor Ming Hui's mirror, Ming Hui Emperor's pen, and Ming Hui Emperor's knife for 20 years.

Lu Yin seemed to have a premonition that he would not end well. He always said that if he died, he would be burned and scattered on the Tinghuadu in his hometown of Muzhou... As the past has gone through, Liu Wenqing has helped him with everything. , there is only one last thing left - to reverse the case.

He felt that Lu Xiang's soul had never disappeared. This unjust case was dormant in the endless darkness, waiting for the day to see the light of day again.

Everything is ready, only Lu Jianyu is missing. He doesn't believe that Ming Hui Emperor has a hard heart. If the emperor sees Lu Xiang's only surviving child, there will be more room for change.

Liu Wenze shook his head and said, "No."

"I can't do anything about the decree made by the emperor himself. However, we should have time to execute Lu Jianyu ten days later." Liu Wenze said this in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. He and Liu Wenqing both left Muzhou, so There is no way to grasp the variables in Muzhou City, and Bai Songxian has just been sent to prison by him, so he has no way to determine whether Bai Wei will hold a grudge.

He didn't like this feeling of being out of control, so he had to say it silently in his heart—hope nothing would happen.

Liu Wenqing nodded and said nothing more.

After sorting out all the materials for the face saint, it was already midnight, Liu Wenze put up the lantern and said to Liu Wenqing, "Then I'm leaving, and I'll come back to find you tomorrow."

It's not that he doesn't want to stay, but he doesn't want Liu Wenqing to be embarrassed.

He just wanted to go out, but when he heard the door shut itself with a "snap," Liu Wenqing pushed him against the door panel, and the snow that came in through the crack of the door fell on his trembling eyelashes, as if it had been covered with a thick layer. cold frost.

Liu Wenze looked down at him, "Are you trying to bribe me?"

Liu Wenqing laughed suddenly. He pulled off the buttons, and took off his coat and jacket one by one, "Israel a bribe, do you want it?"

Liu Wenze's face was sullen, but his expression was still cold, "But I only touch my wife."

Liu Wenqing was stunned for a while, then sighed, "That's a pity, I'm not your wife." His tone seemed to be pity, but the light in his eyes never went out, and he continued, "But you are .”

But you are my wife.

In this quiet snowy night, the weak fire below a thousand feet finally became a wildfire in Liu Wenze's eyes because of his lover's response. He threw Liu Wenqing onto the bed, and leaned over to press her down.

The man who was supposed to be like a green bamboo is now naked, with his thighs stretched out in spite of shame, his eyebrows and eyes like silk, and he called his name emotionally, "Aze, come in."

Liu Wenqing's snow-white legs were tightly wrapped around his waist, and he swallowed his things forcefully. His face was flushed, but his eyes were watery. He smiled.

"Aze, don't call me third brother, call me by my name."

"Liu Meiqing."

"Mei Qing."

"Aze, I am willing to teach you how to be a gentleman, and I am also willing to teach you how to have fun in fish and water."

"Azee, hold me."

Liu Wenze froze for a second, biting his red lips that were still opening and closing.Just like the Avalokitesvara Hall and Tinghuadu back then, it seemed that everything happened in an instant—suddenly being a young man, he sacrificed his life for lovesickness.

Suddenly he grew into a teenager, and he suddenly knew that the relationship in his life would never pass.
