On the early morning when Liao Qingfeng set out to leave the capital, Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan came to the gate of the city to see each other off.

Xie Zhao handed the dessert box prepared by Bingwen to Liao Qingfeng: "Bingwen is afraid that you will be hungry on the way, so I specially prepared some pastries for you."

When Liao Qingfeng took the snack box, he took out two bunches of freshly made candied haws and handed them over like a magic trick: "Here, here are the candied haws I bought for you. You can eat it before leaving."

Liao Qingfeng smiled happily. After putting away the snack box, he took the candied haws from Xie Zhao's hand, gnawed one and stuffed it into his mouth.After tasting it was his favorite shop, Liao Qingfeng said with satisfaction: "You master and servant really understand me."

He asked Xie Zhao curiously, "Where did you find the candied haws this early in the morning?"

"I went to wait in front of the boss's shop before dawn."

Xie Zhao wanted to laugh when he thought of the boss rubbing his eyes in disbelief when he saw him in the morning.He laughed and said, "I said my good brother is leaving the capital, and I want him to have a good meal before leaving."

"What do you mean let him have a good meal before leaving?"

Liao Qingfeng didn't feel right no matter what he said. After he realized it, he unceremoniously punched Xie Zhao on the shoulder: "My boy, what you said, others would think that I was going to the execution ground if they didn't know it." .”

Xie Zhao sneered: "If you want to think so, I can't help it."

Liao Qingfeng swallowed another candied haws hard, but couldn't help but smile.

He glanced at Pei Shaonan, and hummed, "Master Pei has a lot of work, why are you free to see me off today?"

Regarding his eccentricity, Pei Shaonan smiled warmly: "Master Liao forgot that we spent New Year's Eve together?" He sighed, pretending to be sad: "I regard Master Liao as a friend, that's why I came to see Master Liao off." .Doesn’t Master Liao think so?”

Liao Qingfeng has always been a soft-spoken man.

Pei Shaonan's posture is so low now, it's not easy for him to continue to say harsh words.Although it is still a little strange to be regarded as a friend by Pei Shaonan, Liao Qingfeng reluctantly stretched out his hand and patted Pei Shaonan on the shoulder, and said awkwardly: "...cough cough, since Master Pei said so, then I will not let Master Pei down. It's a friendship."

Before being soured by the hawthorn in his mouth, Liao Qingfeng grinned at the sour conversation between himself and Pei Shaonan.

He was depressed: "Why are the elders so disgusting?"

What's even more annoying is that Pei Shaonan, whom he has disliked for more than ten years, is the nasty person.

Xie Zhao looked left at Liao Qingfeng, then at Pei Shaonan, and couldn't help being amused.

He and Pei Shaonan have known each other for so many years, of course he can see that Pei Shaonan is teasing Liao Qingfeng.Not to mention, seeing Liao Qingfeng's tangled expression at this time, Xie Zhao suddenly understood why Pei Shaonan always liked to play with people.

Because it's really an interesting thing.

When Liao Qingfeng went back to the border, he only brought a few guards with him.

Xie Zhao stretched his neck and looked behind him, making sure he didn't see the carriage, he couldn't help giving Liao Qingfeng a thumbs up: "Liao Qingfeng, you are a real man. The distance to the border is not too short, are you sure you want to drive the horse all the time? "

"Of course I'm a real man!"

Liao Qingfeng raised his chin, looking proud.He snorted: "I don't usually like to ride in a carriage. The carriage is stuffy and crowded. What's so good about riding in a carriage? Driving a horse is fast and comfortable, isn't it much better than riding in a carriage?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Xie Zhao maliciously, and pointed out: "I'm not like some people, who were raised and spoiled since childhood, and even went to Lanyin Temple by horse-drawn carriage."

Xie Zhao, who was one of those people, twitched his eyebrows, and suddenly felt his hands itchy.

He glanced at Liao Qingfeng, and said with a snort, "You are really prepared not to return to the capital for the rest of your life? Otherwise, why are you so courageous today, you won't leave without offending anyone, right?"

Liao Qingfeng quickly accepted it: "I didn't say that some people are you, why are you angry?"

He quickly changed the subject: "Although riding in a carriage is comfortable, it takes longer. If I drive a horse, I can arrive at least three days earlier. Although I am a little tired than taking a carriage, I am in good health, and it is not a problem to travel for a few days."

Good guy, still beating around the bush and saying that he is delicate and frail.

Xie Zhao was so angry that he laughed back, wishing he could tell him to spit out all the candied haws he just ate.He didn't bother to say anything to Liao Qingfeng, he simply said: "You hurry up and leave, the sun will be high if you don't leave."

Liao Qingfeng stepped on the stirrup and turned over neatly.

He sat on the horse and looked down at Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan from a high position. The young man's brows and eyes were unruly, his smile was wanton, his tone was not as depressed as when ordinary people parted, but relaxed and confident.

Liao Qingfeng said with a smile: "Let's go and say goodbye. The mountains are high and the water is far away. When we meet again, I hope you and I are not gray-haired and old-fashioned."

Pei Shaonan's brows and eyes were gentle, and he teased: "Master Liao, is this a youthful dream?"

Xie Zhao smiled: "Anyway, I am the youngest and the most handsome. Even if I am really old, I am younger and more handsome than you." He snorted, "Just like others praised my grandfather, dozens of A few years from now, others will surely praise me for my youthful appearance, and my demeanor remains the same as before."

Liao Qingfeng smiled happily on the horse: "I don't think I am the one who dreams of youth and immortality, it is Xie Zhao who is right."

The wind blew up Liao Qingfeng's robe and black hair, it was clearly the beginning of summer, but it felt cool for no reason.

Sitting on the horse, he showed his face to Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan and said, "Then see you later."

Xie Zhao's eyes were soft, and he hummed: "See you in the future."

Liao Qingfeng bent his lips and smiled, and finally took a deep look in the direction of the capital, then held the rein with his left hand, whipped the horse with his right hand, and drove away with the guards in a direction away from the capital.

Xie Zhao stood where he was, watching his figure gradually shrinking and finally disappearing from sight, feeling full of disappointment.

"Why are they all gone?"

Xie Zhao sighed lightly, turned his head and asked Pei Shaonan: "Will you leave the capital someday?"

"what are you thinking."

Pei Shaonan was amused by Xie Zhao: "I was born in the capital, and my ancestors have lived in the capital for several generations, and I am still a civil servant. If the Holy Majesty did not send me to other places, I would not I will leave the capital."

He glanced at Xie Zhao: "I think Mr. Xie is more likely to leave the capital than I am. Maybe one day you will get tired of officialdom, pack your bags and go back to Jiangnan."

Xie Zhao felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "It's very possible."

He said with a smile: "At that time, I will live in the old house that I lived with my grandfather. You can come to Jiangnan to find me when you retire someday. Let's pick lotus in summer and fish in winter. Life will be much happier than being an official."

How can anyone think about the life after becoming an official at a young age?

Pei Shaonan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said happily: "Just don't dislike me when the time comes."

The two talked and laughed, barely dispelling a little parting melancholy.

Now that Liao Qingfeng has also left, Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan also plan to go back to Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials to continue their work.Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the city, he saw a magnificently decorated carriage galloping towards and stopped at the gate of the city.

The next moment, the girl in bright yellow clothes lifted the curtain of the carriage with a pale face, and jumped off the carriage with her skirt lifted.She came out in such a hurry that she almost fell to the ground with this jump. Fortunately, a responsive maid supported her arm, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground.

Xie Zhao saw the girl's face clearly and was surprised: "—Princess Jingyi?"

Although Jingyi didn't fall when she jumped off the carriage just now, she still twisted her ankle.

She was so painful that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she still shook off the hand of the maid beside her, hurried to Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan, raised her head and asked anxiously, "Where are the others?"

The two were startled by her, and they didn't reply for a while. Jingyi raised her voice anxiously, and asked again: "Quickly answer me, where is Liao Qingfeng?"

Although the teenage girl was well-dressed and distinguished, she had never been angry.

Xie Zhao saw her like this for the first time.Seeing the little girl's more beautiful and delicate face after the new year, he paused, and after looking at Pei Shaonan, he replied with some hesitation: "...Master Liao has already left."

After saying this, Xie Zhao quickly froze.

I saw that Jingyi's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.The young girl at the right age has just grown up, looking at her with tears in her eyes, Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan didn't know what to do for a while.

Xie Zhao asked nervously, "Eunuch, princess, what's wrong with you?"

Jingyi wiped away tears, then suddenly lifted the hem of her skirt and ran out of the city gate!

This move really scared the others. Before Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan could react, the guards on the side quickly brought him back.

Jingyi pushed away the guard's hand and cried, "Don't stop me!"

She was so sad, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the tip of her nose was reddish. She really didn't look pretty.Knowing that she really couldn't catch up with Liao Qingfeng, the majestic princess of a country even wailed indistinctly.

While wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she choked up and said, "Why didn't anyone tell me that he was leaving..." Speaking of this, the tears in her eyes trickled down again, and Jingyi choked up and said, "Why am I the only one who is bored?" In the drum..."

Pei Shaonan saw something and was surprised: "Princess, this is...?"

Jingyi glared at him angrily: "Yes, yes, I just like Liao Qingfeng!"

She sneered, her face was mottled with tears, but her expression was stubborn: "If you want to make a joke, you can laugh it now."

Although Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan had long guessed that Jingyi liked Liao Qingfeng, they were still a little surprised to learn that Jingyi liked Liao Qingfeng so much.

As a daughter and a princess who grew up with a lot of love, it is undoubtedly a matter of courage to admit that she likes someone in front of so many people.

Xie Zhao sighed, took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "This is no joke."

He looked at Shang Jingyi's eyes full of tears, and motioned her to take his handkerchief: "It's just that Master Liao has indeed left now, and the princess might not be able to catch up. Use the handkerchief to wipe away your tears."

Thinking that she came out of the palace in a hurry, but still didn't catch up with Liao Qingfeng, Jingyi's nose was sore, and tears burst into tears again.

She snatched Xie Zhao's handkerchief, wiped her tears unceremoniously, and was full of grievances while sobbing: "Why didn't my father let me know?! It's all right now, he's gone, and I may live for the rest of my life." I can’t even see him anymore, is Father Emperor satisfied now?”

The maid at the side blushed for Jingyi, stepped forward and whispered a reminder: "Princess, this is not your bedroom... There are many outsiders here."

The maid sighed and worried for the princess: How could the princess confess her love to Lord Liao in public?How can you say that about the Holy Majesty?

When Jingyi was brought back into the carriage by the maid, Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan watched the carriage leave, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

After a long time, Xie Zhao frowned and sighed, "This...what is this?"

Now that Liao Qingfeng is gone, it is obviously impossible for the princess to follow her to the border. Judging from what she said just now, it seems that the Holy One does not approve of her and Liao Qingfeng's affairs.

In this case, wouldn't the infatuated princess live in tears?

Pei Shaonan also sighed: "I just hope that the princess is still a little girl, and I can forget it in a few days."

Even though he said that, but thinking of Jingyi crying out of breath just now, he couldn't believe that Jingyi's infatuation with Liao Qingfeng was just a moment.

Xie Zhao said with emotion: "Liao Qingfeng patted his butt and walked easily, but he didn't know that there were people who felt so sad for him."

On Jingyi's behalf, he scolded Liao Qingfeng in a low voice: "This guy only has candied haws in his eyes! Princess Jingyi has been so obvious in the past, but he only cares about eating candied haws every time. Is candied haws so delicious?"

Before Pei Shaonan could react, Xie Zhao froze suddenly. After a while, he reluctantly replied: "Well, candied haws are really delicious."

Pei Shaonan was amused by him, fearing that Xie Zhao would rise, so he made a fist and pretended to cough.

Xie Zhao felt that the days were getting more and more boring.

His Highness left, Liao Qingfeng also left, and the attractiveness of this huge capital suddenly declined a lot.In the end, Xie Zhao could only comfort himself, luckily Pei Shaonan would not leave.

He began to say to Bingwen: "If Pei Shaonan leaves too, then I will also pack up and return to Jiangnan."

Bingwen laughed at him: "Don't worry, as long as Fan Sheng said a word of persuasion, even if you want to go back to the south of the Yangtze River, you have to stay in the capital honestly."

Xie Zhao didn't want to admit that he was telling the truth.

This day rested, Xie Zhao finished his meal and was idly flipping through a book in the study when he suddenly saw Bingwen walk into the house and asked excitedly, "My lord, today is the River God Festival. My favorite show, don't you go out and see it?"

Seeing that Xie Zhao, who used to be lively and active, now stays at home every day, Bingwen has long been heartbroken, and has to urge Xie Zhao to go out and walk around every day, so that he doesn't stay at home all day.

Seeing Xie Zhao continue to flip through the book as if he had never heard of it, Bingwen let out a hey, and simply stepped forward to snatch the book, and looked at Xie Zhao helplessly: "You don't even look at your current appearance. It’s the life of others in their 70s, boring and monotonous.”

He continued to earnestly say: "Don't read books, young master, go out and relax, your mood will definitely improve a lot."

"It's the River God Festival again..."

The book in his hand was taken away, and Xie Zhao was not angry. He crossed his hands behind his head and put his mind away: "This day flies so fast."

When mentioning this festival, Xie Zhao unconsciously recalled the scene of last year.

Thinking of his leg injury, he dragged His Highness out to watch the performance. The performance in the dance band was lively and beautiful, the crowd was crowded, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

The lights were brilliant that night, and Xie Zhao had a smile on his face.

Time was like water, and in the blink of an eye, the River God Festival came again, but the person who had promised to watch the performance with him was not there.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhao couldn't help covering his face with his right hand, and said sullenly, "Liar."

"what did you say?"

Xie Zhao's voice was soft, but Bingwen didn't hear clearly.Seeing that Xie Zhao was still lying on the bed with a lack of interest, Bingwen simply resorted to his trump card and directly pulled Xie Zhao up from the bed: "Listen to me, go out and have a good time tonight. Want to eat If you want to eat chestnuts fried in sugar, go to eat, and if you want to watch a show, go to see it.”

The heavy purse full of money was thrown out. Xie Zhao took the purse and looked at the closed door before him, only then did he understand what happened.

Was he kicked out by Bingwen?

"This Bingwen will only bully me now."

That's what he said, but Xie Zhao also knew Bingwen's kindness.So even though he was not interested in this year's River God Festival, Xie Zhao still walked out of Xueya Street with his purse: "...Since it's out, let's have a look before going back."

To Xie Zhao's surprise, he bumped into Pei Shaonan who was holding two bags of sugar-fried chestnuts at the intersection of the street.

Pei Shaonan handed a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts to Xie Zhao: "I bought it for you, eat it while it's hot."

Xie Zhao asked, "Why are you here?"

Pei Shaonan glanced at Xie Zhao with a look that could be called paternal love: "Maybe I think you need someone to take you out of the sea of ​​suffering? So I brought your favorite fried chestnuts here."

Is this treating suffering with sugar?

Xie Zhao couldn't help laughing, it was his kindness.

He and Pei Shaonan walked out side by side, while peeling a candied chestnut and putting it in his mouth, he looked at the bag of candied chestnuts in Pei Shaonan's hand, and asked casually: "I remember you don't like sweets, Why are you eating today?"

Pei Shaonan replied: "Have a taste."

As he spoke, he put the chestnut in his mouth, and the overly sweet taste made him frown.Despite the discomfort, Pei Shaonan continued to chew and swallowed.

Xie Zhao noticed his expression and felt that this man was just asking for trouble.

The two came to Songquan Street, and soon saw the dance team coming from the end.

Xie Zhao smiled: "What a coincidence."

The two stood in a good position, and they could see the performance of the dance band at a glance.

When the performance troupe from the dance band approached, Xie Zhao looked up and suddenly found that the dancers performing this year were the same as last year.

When he went to look at the people beating the gongs and drums in the team, he felt familiar.

The performers are still the same group of people from last year, but the people watching the performance are not the same group of people from last year.

Xie Zhao wanted to understand this, and felt that the sugar-fried chestnuts in his mouth suddenly became tasteless.

But now Xie Zhao has no extra energy to think about other things.

As the team of the dance band moved forward, the crowd also crowded and walked forward on both sides of the team.Just as Xie Zhao wanted to turn his head to remind Pei Shaonan not to stray away, he found another immature young man behind him.

Looks like it's gone...

Xie Zhao was helpless, and took out another fried chestnut from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

He thought, forget it, let's go to the front and wait for Pei Shaonan.

Pei Shaonan watched helplessly as Xie Yan was pushed further and further away by the crowd.

The people around are close to each other, Pei Shaonan never likes to get too close to people, at this time, he feels his shoulders touching others from time to time, and he just feels uncomfortable all over his body.

Seeing that Xie Zhao had disappeared from sight, he simply took an opportunity to squeeze out of the crowd, and stopped following the flow of people to follow the dance music workshop.

Just as he was about to find another way to wait for Xie Zhao at the end, Pei Shaonan felt someone put a hand on his right shoulder before he could take a step, stopping his movement.

Pei Shaonan frowned, but turned around to see Wan Xu standing behind him.

Wan Xu smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I can meet Mr. Pei here."

Under Pei Shaonan's cold eyes, he withdrew his hand and shrugged: "I really met you by chance." , I am too lazy to find another time to ask you to meet."

Pei Shaonan's eyes were slightly cold: "Master Wan, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing."

Wan Xu's eyes glanced at the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand, and he showed a playful smile: "I just want to talk to you about some things to prepare for a rainy day."

He fixedly looked at Pei Shaonan, and tilted his head: "You will definitely be interested."

Pei Shaonan looked at him, pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes deepened bit by bit.

After a while, he replied: "I would like to hear the details."

The author has something to say: This chapter can be regarded as two updates in one.
