Drunk Yangzhou

Yundu

The study room of the Su Mansion is already more than half empty. In the sandalwood box behind the screen, some case files are placed neatly and tightly. Su Yunpu is putting away the items needed for going south. He thought it was too expensive to take with him, but later he thought that staying here might prove to be a truth, so he wrapped the precious inkstone in silk and stuffed it into the corner of the box.

In fact, Su Yunpu's heart was light when he left Beijing this time. Now that the government is in charge, the capital city is already a puddle of soft mud that cannot be saved, and he may make a difference in the local area... He has no worries about favors and high salaries, but There is one person who makes him worry from time to time...

"My lord." Li Feng, the housekeeper of the Su residence, stood at the door and lightly knocked on the window lattice beside him.

"Why, have you all been sent away?" Su Yunpu raised his eyes and waved him to come in.

"My lord, these people are quite difficult to deal with. I just returned the things they sent." Li Feng was so busy that his face was sweating, "When you were working in the household department, you never saw them so attentive."

"I'd like to hear what's going on?" Su Yunpu lowered his head and continued to pack things.

"Basically they are officials from Jiangxi. The nephew of Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Industry has a porcelain kiln in Jingdezhen. Please take care of it. It would be great if he can be promoted to an imperial kiln; and Mr. Ma from the Ministry of Rites mentioned that he would like to celebrate the emperor's birthday. The manufacture of dragon boats... Longquan Wood Industry has people from his family, please take care of it..."

"I haven't taken office yet, so you'll do this to me." Su Yunpu smiled wryly, "I've dealt with them for all these years, haven't you figured out my temper?"

"These people are no different from flies and insects. Wherever there is a smell of meat, they have to join in the fun. Even if they can't eat meat, they don't lose anything." Li Feng knew that his master was honest and honest, sighed secretly, and said, " By the way...Master Lu is here too, I led him to the outer hall, is your lord gone?"

"Let him go." Su Yunpu's eyes lighted up, "He has won the battle and is being appreciated by the emperor. What are you doing in this troubled water?"

Li Feng was just about to turn around and go out to send Lu Yanqing away, but he heard a loud laugh from outside the door, "Xiaogui is really cruel, you have traveled thousands of miles, and you don't even want to meet my brother?"

Both of them were startled, and when they looked up, Lu Yanqing came in out of nowhere, followed by a maid with a shamed face.

Su Yunpu guessed that he had slipped in through the back door, and the maid didn't dare to stop him. Seeing that he was wearing a brand-new official uniform, and he had an extra gem around his waist, he was so proud of himself. Ignore it.

Seeing this, Li Feng quietly exited the study and closed the door gently.

Lu Yanqing looked at the man's stubborn back, couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and hugged him from behind, and whispered into his ear: "I just came back, you have to go...how can you even see me once?" None."

Su Yunpu smelled the fragrance of bamboo on his body, and his neck was itchy again, his heart was already more than half relaxed, and the little undetectable jealousy and grievances just now were completely forgotten, and he only realized that this behavior was too much after a while. Getting intimate, he quickly turned around and pushed the man away, saying seriously:

"Jiang Ping, you are now being used by the emperor, and you should be more cautious in your behavior. You came to me today, can you avoid people's eyes and ears? And... in the future, if I am not in the capital, the Royal Yu Party will definitely trouble you, so please take care of yourself , the big deal is to be relegated to the outside world, don't hurt yourself just because of the moment..."

"Don't worry about that, I know how to protect myself. Besides, in my opinion, King Yu won't be mad for too long." Lu Yanqing brushed a strand of hair around his ear for him, with utmost tenderness.

Su Yunpu frowned sharply when he heard this, "What did you hear when you went to Qinbei?"

Lu Yanqing realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately refused to continue, "That's not true... It's just speculation and inference from the emperor's attitude of using troops."

"It seems that this Fu Yiting is really not simple." Su Yunpu had a lot of guesses in his heart, and there were countless things he wanted to ask, but he knew that he couldn't ask. Even if he asked, the other party would not tell the truth... Just like if he asked himself Will not reveal anything.

Su Yunpu smiled lightly, feeling an indescribable helplessness and confusion in his heart. A small part of the golden light of the setting sun outside the window leaked in, illuminating his handsome face more clearly. , Seeing different scenes all over the place, will eventually drift away... Is it sad or gratifying?"

Years of ups and downs in the officialdom, both of them are unwilling to be bound by their feelings. They show a little affection, and they both secretly remember this moment in their hearts, but neither of them is willing to take a step closer.

"Perhaps, flowing eastward into the sea is the final outcome." Lu Yanqing comforted softly, but a layer of wet mist appeared in his eyes.

"Forget it...don't mention this." Su Yunpu withdrew his heavy expression, "There are still a few pots of pepper paste in the backyard. Since you are here, let's get drunk tonight!"

Suburbs of Guangling

Fu Yiting traveled by land to Yangzhou, reducing his clothes all the way, but the sky gradually changed from the cool and clear sky to cloudy and foggy. The road was muddy, and the horseshoes stamped and stamped, forming countless small puddles. It was obviously raining for several days.

Fu Yiting only wore a black brocade robe with golden cloud and dark patterns, and did not wear oil jacket. He rode in the night style, and his whole body was half-wet by raindrops like fine mist, which stuck to his skin, which made him look even more beautiful. His figure is tall and straight.Lin Yizhi, dressed as a coachman, drove a carriage and followed behind him, gesticulating and winking at the surrounding mountains and bushes from time to time.Fu Yiting knew that Li Yuankai had arranged for people to guard him, so he was happy to be at ease.

It was already past noon, and a horse and a cart drove to the northwest suburb of Yangzhou City, but there was a clear smoke and a windy embankment, and the towering and solemn Daming Temple not far away was shrouded in fog. At this time, the bell rang, The Zen sound wave shook, soaked through the surging canal and the lush green forest, and was sent directly here. Even Fu Yiting, who had never been very interested in Buddhism, was shaken by the sound of the bell.

Looking further into the distance, he could faintly see the panorama of Yangzhou, where the beautiful scenery of the city walls was hidden from each other, the hills and lakes were surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the boats and boats were moving slowly in the forests and waterways.Looking at this prosperous scene, Fu Yiting felt a sense of heaviness and embarrassment in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to turn around and leave, unwilling to take half a step into Yangzhou.

"Go back." Fu Yiting turned the horse's head, and was about to return from the original road.

"Ah?!!" Lin Yizhi was imagining how he would spend his time in Yangzhou, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this, "My lord, are you going back now? Are you not going to the city?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself." Fu Yiting said coldly, then flicked his whip and galloped out.

Lin Yizhi behind him was silent for a while, Fu Yiting ran for a few miles, but heard a fast horse behind him hurriedly chasing him.

"What is Qishao doing?"

Hearing that man's voice, Fu Yiting didn't want to pay attention at first, but he subconsciously reined in the horse with his hand, and Ta Ye let out a long hiss, and the two front hooves jumped up and then fell one after another, the hooves sank heavily into the mud.

Only then did Fu Yiting look to his side. The man was not wearing a oil coat, his handsome face was full of smoky eyebrows, his amber eyes revealed secret tenderness, his lips were wet, as if they had become more tender red, and his body was covered in white lotus. A thin silk jacket with a pattern, and a circle of silver-gray wolf fur inlaid at the lap, making it even more noble. Under the crotch is a snow-white horse. In this chaotic rain, there is really a kind of astonishment that is out of the world.

"Yangzhou Fengyue, I have learned the lesson." Fu Yiting slowly looked away, and unconsciously clenched the rein in his hand, as if he was talking about the scenery and people.
