Snow in Chang'an in December

?On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Master Shen took Shen Zixu to an alley in the north of the city, saying that there was an expert here. Over there, while walking, Master Shen said that the expert is good at painting landscapes, besides that, he also knows the art of war and heals diseases and saves lives.

Shen Zixu smiled secretly, how could there be such a strange person in this world?I don't know where my father heard the nonsense.

Antique clothes were sold in the alley, and the shopkeepers were either holding their chins on their arms to plan their plans or were swatting mosquitoes. Shen Zixu raised his hands to gather up the fox fur he was wearing, and then followed Master Shen closely.

Walking to the depths of the alley, the shopkeepers sitting in the shop were either dozing off or staring at the sky in a daze, looking like they had no intention of doing business. Master Shen looked up at the name of the shop, then nodded with a smile, and walked in with Shen Zixu , I saw a big mahogany chair set in a corner, with a table next to it, and tea and cakes on the table, and the person sitting on the wooden chair was an old man.

"But Mister Taiping?" Master Shen asked the old man with a bow and a smile.

Hearing this, the old man raised his eyes, looked at Master Shen and Shen Zi for a while, then moved his gray beard and nodded his head and asked, "What's the matter?" After speaking, he picked up the tea cup and drank.

"Sir, this is my son, Shen Zixu. My son has been weak since he was a child, and I hope that Mr. can cure his illness. If there is a way to heal him, I will spend all my money to save his life." Then, Master Shen raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. , Looking at Shen Zixu beside him, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

When Shen Zixu heard the words, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He grabbed his sleeves and looked at Master Shen with eyes full of gratitude. Mr. Taiping put the earcup back on the table, and immediately asked Shen Zixu to come over. Shen Zixu walked in front of Mr. Taiping, Seeing his clear eyes looking at his face.

"Mr. Shen's illness, this old man can't heal."

As soon as these words came out, Master Shen was stunned. Shen Zixu was originally happy, but now he was only restless.

"This old man is mediocre, but he is only praised by the world." Mr. Taiping smiled calmly, moving his white beard, then took a pastry from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, "This old man only loves to paint and paint all his life, how can he know medical skills... I wonder if Mr. Shen has a younger brother?"

Shen Zixu nodded, "Yes."

"The old man wants to see him." Mr. Taiping smiled slyly, Shen Zixu couldn't help being startled when he saw his smile, after a while he came back to his senses, then turned to look at Master Shen, seeing him nodding, he himself responded "OK".

It was dusk when we returned to Shen's mansion, but Shen Ningfeng was still missing. Shen Zixu looked at the closed red lacquer gate for a long time, then he walked out and stood in front of Shen's mansion, waiting for Shen Ningfeng here as before. .It was getting colder after dusk, and I felt the biting cold wind, saw geese and snow flying, and the two lanterns with the word "Shen" in Shen's mansion were also swinging with the wind, as if they were about to fall.

Punishing him like this the day before yesterday... It's been two days since I hadn't spoken to him, but Feng'er has something to blame him for?Shen Zixu tugged at his sleeves uneasily, feeling remorse immediately.

He was not suitable for the wind, but now he stood in the cold wind for a long time, which only caused him to cough, coughing so much that his body trembled, when the boy came, he saw that Shen Zixu's face was not good, so the boy hurriedly added a few more clothes for Shen Zixu Nuan Qiu, then went to look for Shen Ningfeng with his arm.

"Eldest son, be careful." The servant urged.

"Ah."

"Young Master, just wait at home, why is it so? I'm afraid it's your body that suffers." The young servant muttered, seeming to be blaming.

Shen Zixu heard it naturally, but he didn't know how to respond, so he didn't say a word and let the servants help him to walk around.

Shen Zixu walked with his head down, not knowing where he was going, he only heard a woman's laughter, he couldn't help looking up, and saw Shen Ningfeng hugging a beautiful woman in pink clothes in his arms, Shen Zixu was startled, Shen Ningfeng Also startled, the two of them returned to their senses after a while.

"Brother..." Shen Ningfeng called out sullenly, the smile just now had already faded away.

Shen Zixu glared at him, then looked at the woman in pink with disdainful eyes, and after a long time, he walked away: "It's really mud!" His tone was already filled with anger.

How could he allow his younger brother to linger in the brothel all day long, Shen Ningfeng didn't want to study on weekdays, although he could read a few words, he often said in front of his friends why he was not good at both civil and military skills, just calling him a pair, But he didn't understand anything, just made a joke.At that time Shen Ningfeng was still young, so he could still forgive him, but now he is not necessarily much better than before.

Shen Ningfeng didn't want to smile anymore, let go of the beauty in his arms, and hurriedly followed Shen Zixu, the servant stared at Shen Ningfeng leaving in a daze, after a long time he came back to himself, calling "the eldest son and the second son" in his mouth hurry to walk.

"Brother, Feng'er knows it's wrong." Shen Ningfeng grabbed Shen Zixu's sleeve, seeing his frowning eyebrows, Shen Ningfeng felt more and more uneasy.

Shen Zixu heard the words, then closed his eyes, waited for a long time, he opened his eyes just now, the anger in his eyes was gone, only gentleness remained, he looked down at Shen Ningfeng's knees, and then asked: "Feng'er, what are you doing?" ... Are you uncomfortable?" Shen Ningfeng was only surprised when he said this.

"It's only three things, let's let it go this time." Shen Zixu pushed him away, "Why are you ignoring me recently? But do you blame me? It's my fault, it's just that you are like this...I..." He became more The more uneasy he said, although he was dissatisfied that Shen Ningfeng had such affection for him, but no matter what, he was also his younger brother.

"Brother, do you know that even if I suffer the most horrific punishment in the world, I still won't let you ignore me."

"Feng'er..." Shen Zixu couldn't help sighing, no matter they are both men and brothers, how could they be like this?

"Brother, Feng'er really likes you." He just didn't believe that he would never get that person's sincerity in this life.That man said he wanted to marry a wife, how could he obey him if he loved him so much?Shen Ningfeng couldn't help smiling wryly, feeling that he had fallen into an abyss.

Shen Zixu held his hand behind his back, and his fingertips had pierced into his palm when he heard Shen Ning's words. Fortunately, his father was not here at this time. If he heard it, he would definitely break his hands and feet before he was expelled from Shen's residence. He knew that his father loved him the most. The person who cherishes is Shen Ningfeng, and the second is himself.Shen Zixu couldn't help feeling jealous and self-deprecating, but he really didn't blame others, he blamed himself for having such a sick body.

All the way back to Shen's mansion without a word, he saw that the young servant who had just followed was already staying in the mansion, Shen Ningfeng supported Shen Zixu and blamed the young servant, hearing those words of reproach, he felt upset, Shen Zixu waved him away, Then he went back to his room and left a message: "Mr. Taiping said he wanted to see you, and I will go with you tomorrow." After that, he left slowly.
