Don't go back to hometown

It was Jiang Xianyu's decision to go to Jinling to find Xie Cheng after considering for a long time.

The results of the scientific examination are coming soon, and Xie Cheng has been away from home for more than two months. During this period, he has not sent a letter to Jiang Xianyu, and there may not be a single word of him in the letter sent back to Xie's family—otherwise, how could Xie Cheng and Xie Mu? Don't mention it?

Jiang Xianyu knew that the other party was still angry with him.

In the letter Jiang Baizhou sent back, he only said that Xie Cheng's exam went well, and now he has made friends with some insightful people with Brother Duan, discussing knowledge all day long.

He didn't ask Jiang Xianyu if he was doing well, if he was studying hard, as if...he didn't care anymore.

The more Jiang Xianyu thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

Before learning of his life experience, he had dreamed of entering the imperial court side by side with Xie Cheng and expressing his ambitions; after learning of his life experience, he knew that he was doomed to "do nothing" and had a different road with Xie Cheng.Even without the quarrel between him and Xie Cheng, when Xie Cheng was in high school, they were destined to go on different paths.

However, after realizing that my love for Xie Cheng was not limited to brotherly love, I became more and more regretful and unwilling, regretting that I shouldn't have quarreled with him and ignored each other;

But no one taught him how to deal with such "unwillingness". Apart from giving up Xie Cheng, the only way he could think of was to fly away.

So he wanted to go to Xie Cheng and ask him if he would like to go with him, the world is big and the world is his home.

Or with Xie Cheng's ingenuity, maybe there will be a way to get the best of both worlds.

He didn't dare to tell his family that he was going to Jinling to find Xie Cheng, but left a letter saying that he would go to Lingnan with Ren Xiaoyao for a few days.

This is the retreat he left for himself.If Xie Cheng has no intentions towards him, but he has other thoughts, naturally he has no face to be a brother with Xie Cheng.Just leave home to relax and leave some space for each other.

Ren Xiaoyao's destination this time was originally Lingnan. He heard that Jiang Xianyu was going to Jinling because of the emotional problems that had plagued him for so long. He felt responsible for his nonsense, so he decided to accompany Jiang Xianyu for a trip.

With the experience of being discovered when he ran away from home last time, Jiang Xianyu gave the written letter to a little beggar this time and asked him to send it to Jiang's house the next evening.In the name of seeing Ren Xiaoyao off, he left home early in the morning.

Under the cover of Ren Xiaoyao, he took a fast boat and arrived in Jinling that night.

The news spread all over Jinling that Xie Cheng high school Xie Yuan, who shined brilliantly at today's Luming Banquet, Jiang Xianyu was happy for him, but he didn't expect that he would just miss him.

"He seems to have gone to the pier after leaving Luming Park. I heard that he returned to Yangzhou by boat."

Jiang Xianyu was really stunned by the news of Ren Xiaoyao's inquiry.

"There's no reason to leave in such a hurry—" Jiang Xianyu was puzzled, and even had bad thoughts, "Could it be something happened to Xie's family?"

Ren Xiaoyao denied his guess: "When we left home this morning, the Xie family was fine. Even if something happened, the news would not reach Jinling sooner than us."

Jiang Xianyu felt reasonable after thinking about it, and at the same time, he was even more puzzled, why Xie Cheng didn't even have the time to go to Brother Duan's house to pack his luggage, and returned directly to Yangzhou?

Seeing him frowning, Ren Xiaoyao comforted him, "Let's go back to Yangzhou and have a look."

Jiang Xianyu was stunned and did not speak, his mind full of thoughts.

Xie Chengzhong understands Yuan, he should be happy for him.But apart from being happy, there is more disappointment in my heart.

It turns out that Xie Chengyuan is more outstanding than he imagined, and has a great future, but he is the empress of criminals, and has the habit of Longyang, how can Xie Cheng give up everything and go with him?

Today's erroneous accident seems to be God's will, so that he can wake up and shouldn't stop Xie Cheng's footsteps in the cabinet.

And he managed to leave home with great difficulty. If he went back again, not only would he not be able to explain why he left a book and went to Lingnan and then turned back, but he would be under strict supervision in the future. Wife and child...

"No..." Jiang Xianyu murmured and shook his head, "I won't go back."

He didn't dare to approach Xie Cheng anymore.

Ren Xiaoyao had never met Jiang Xianyu who was so indecisive, let alone what he was worried about and hesitant about.In his opinion, one should follow one's own heart in one's lifetime and be free and unrestrained.So he said bluntly: "You've chased him all the way here, how can you really be willing not to ask him what he thinks?"

Jiang Xianyu glanced at him, parted his lips, and finally lowered his head.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly stood up, as if mustering up his courage, and said, "I, I will write to him."

Write a letter and deliver it quietly to him, apologizing to him and asking him if he would like to go with him.

[Thank you:

See the word as the face.

The previous dispute was my fault. I failed to understand your painstaking efforts, and I also failed to be honest about my thoughts. I have a lot of apologies. Please forgive me for being cheeky, and don’t bother with me.

Leaving home this time is only for relaxation. If you don't blame me anymore, I look forward to traveling with you and waiting in Jinling.If you are inconvenient, please tell my parents, don't worry about me.

——Jiang Xianyu's own handwriting]

The content of the letter was very short, and he didn't dare to reveal his extra thoughts for the time being, but he still wrote it carefully for a long time, and wrote another envelope outside, and then entrusted Ren Xiaoyao to send it.

"Send it to Qin's Mansion on East Street, to Qin Yunhan."

He didn't come home tonight, his parents should be looking for him everywhere.Tomorrow evening, when I received a letter from him running away from home, I would probably be furious.

If he wants to abduct Xie Cheng, he must not send the letter directly to Xie's house, let alone attract his parents' attention.Otherwise they would know that the letter came from Jinling, and he was also in Jinling.

So he told Tan Yunhan in the outer letter to keep quiet, and quietly delivered the inner letter to Xie Cheng.

Tan Yunhan usually likes to play around, but he is reliable at critical times. Now all he has to do is wait, wait for Xie Cheng's reply, give him an accurate statement, and sentence him to life or death.

Ren Xiaoyao delivered the letter for him and stayed with him in the inn.

Jiang Xian had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to disturb Jiang Baizhou who was still in Yangzhou. He hid in the inn and didn't go out. It can be said that he lived like a year.

Two days later, Jiang Baizhou seemed to have received the news that he had left home, and hurried back to Yangzhou.Jiang Xianyu was even more anxious, looking forward to a reply, but also afraid of receiving a reply.

However, he didn't know that when Xie Cheng returned to Yangzhou by boat overnight, he just got the news that he and Ren Xiaoyao had gone to Lingnan.

He took the letter from the little beggar from Jiang's father, read it again and again, and suddenly snatched the Jiang family's horse and chased him out of the city.

He didn't care about what the little beggar said, this letter was given by the young master yesterday morning.

He regretted and blamed himself, and only had one thought in his mind, at worst, he would go to Lingnan and always find Jiang Xianyu.

Take him back and tell him that it doesn't matter if he doesn't take the martial arts exam, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't make progress. He will accompany him, guard him, and protect him to be safe and happy throughout his life.

Father Xie sent someone to stop him, and Father Jiang also persuaded him to go back, but Xie Cheng refused, as if he had a premonition in his heart that if he let the boy go like this, he would lose him completely.

However, the night was getting darker, and it was raining heavily again, and the horse under him was exhausted and began to refuse to obey.

He rushed to the nearest town in the rainy night, bought another horse the next morning, and continued south.

After chasing for three hundred miles, Xie's father brought his own men to stop him.

"Nonsense!" Father Xie snapped, "Do you still want to go to Lingnan with him?"

Xie Cheng didn't know that he had developed a high fever. He looked at Father Xie with red eyes, and said hoarsely, "I'll bring him back...I'll bring him back."

Father Xie, who had been running all night, was also physically and mentally exhausted, so he was even more angry at Xie Cheng's stubbornness: "Idiots are talking about dreams!!!"

"His parents can't control him, why do you interfere?! Even if you can find him, if he refuses to return, your words will be more effective than his parents? He left his parents and ran away from home, you have to learn Is he so rebellious?!"

Xie Cheng stiffened his neck, grabbed the rein tightly, and murmured: "It works, I can persuade him to come back."

I can promise him anything, as long as I promise him everything, don't argue with him, don't scold him for being inconsistent, and don't blame him for being inconsiderate, he is willing to come back.

He would love to come back.

"I don't know what to say!" Father Xie was furious, pointed at Xie Cheng with his horsewhip, and ordered the accompanying servants, "Tie him back to me."

Xie Cheng resisted with all his strength, but his feverish and exhausted body finally couldn't hold on, and he fell down and passed out.

Opening his eyes again, he had returned to Yangzhou and was lying in the bedroom of Xiuzhuyuan.

Mother Xie was weeping beside the bed, Shimo came over with a medicine bowl, Xie Cheng seemed to turn a blind eye, struggled to get out of bed, and wanted to go out the door.

Father Xie was exhausted and hadn't recovered yet, seeing Xie Cheng's obsessive attitude, he immediately slapped him hard on the face.

Xie Cheng staggered and fell down in front of Father Xie.

"Are you crazy, aren't you?" Father Xie supported the table, blood rushed to his forehead with anger, and he was a little unsteady.

"He left and the Jiang family will look for it. It's your turn to die or live? Just because of such a heartless bastard, you don't even want your life. Where will you leave me and your mother? Leave the ancestors of the Xie family Where is it from?!"

Mother Xie rushed forward to help Xie Cheng, and persuaded him with tears: "A Cheng, A Cheng, you have a fever. Xiao Yu, he might just go out for a few days and come back after a while. Now you have a high fever, how can you go to the hospital?" Looking for him?"

Xie Cheng was supported by Xie's mother, and found that he was staggering and couldn't stand at all.

He was startled, and finally closed his eyes in pain, realizing that in his current state, it was impossible to catch up with Jiang Xianyu.

The boy is a young eagle leaving the nest, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is hard to find it.

He closed his eyes to block the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and knelt down in front of his father Xie with a plop, "Father, son... I don't want to go into official career again."

Father Xie was taken aback, and looked at him in disbelief: "You, you say it again?"

Xie Cheng bowed his head and knelt upright. Although his head was dizzy, his thinking was calm and clear. "My son has no intention of becoming an official, and he doesn't want to take another exam."

"absurd!!!"

Father Xie scolded angrily in a deep voice, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell down.

"Master!" Xie's mother and the servants hurried forward to support Xie's father, helping him to sit down at the table.

Father Xie was full of anger, gasped heavily, and pointed at Xie Cheng tremblingly, "Come here! Lock him up in the ancestral hall for me, and ask for family law!"

"Master!" Xie's mother was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, she held onto Xie's father's hand tightly, "Master! Ah Cheng is still sick, how can he bear the family law?"

"I just want to wake up this traitor! Let's see how he has the face to face the ancestors of the Xie family!"

Father Xie was tough in his words, but he was not willing to hit him too hard.

However, after more than a dozen sticks, Xie Cheng still didn't let go, and he refused to explain the reason.After being beaten a few more times, he passed out immediately, injured his heart and lungs, and was bedridden.

Both Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came to persuade him, but Xie Cheng was still obsessed with his obsession and made up his mind not to pursue an official career.

All the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him on passing the Xie Yuan exam were turned away. No one knew that such a big event happened to the Xie family because the young master of the Jiang family ran away from home.

Entrusted by Jiang Xianyu, Tan Yunhan, who delivered letters to Xie Cheng, came to the door several times, but all he got was a reply from the concierge, "My young master is ill and cannot see guests".

He also heard about Jiang Xianyu running away from home, and also heard that the elder brother of the Jiang family came back from Jinling on purpose to go to Lingnan to find someone.And holding the letter from Xiao Yu in his hand, he was extremely troubled. He didn't know whether to tell the Jiang family that Xiao Yu was actually in Jinling, or to keep his mouth shut for his friend.

So he could only come to see senior brother Xie.He believed that the letter that Xiao Yu spent a lot of time secretly sending back must have explained something to senior brother Xie in the letter. As long as he sees senior brother Xie, the other party must have an idea.

So wandering outside Xie's mansion for several days, Tan Yunhan finally saw Shimo who had returned from fetching medicine for Xie Cheng.

Shimo looked haggard, saying that his young master was very ill and he was not fit to see guests.

Tan Yunhan had no choice but to grit his teeth and handed the letter to Shimo, "Be sure to hand it over to your young master, don't say anything!"

I don't know how to read ink, so I took the unsigned and tightly sealed letter and hid it in my sleeve.

Tan Yunhan watched him enter Xie's mansion, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Little did he know that Xie's father had already noticed him who came to the door many times, and stopped Shimo as soon as he entered the door.

"Is something handed out?"

Shimo was terrified by Father Xie, who was often furious these days, and said obediently: "Yes...it's the young master's academy...student, concerned about the young master's body, and wrote him a letter."

Father Xie's eyes flashed, his face remained unchanged, and he reached out to Shimo: "I'll send it to him, and you go to decoct the medicine."

Shimo looked up at him, thinking that he intended to repair the relationship with the young master and took the opportunity to visit the young master, so he handed the letter to him.

Shimo didn't know, Tan Yunhan didn't know, Jiang Xianyu and Ren Xiaoyao didn't know, and Xie Cheng couldn't possibly know: the letter was burned after being read by Xie's father, and it was never handed over to Xie Cheng.

Father Xie just looked for an opportunity to remind the Jiang family that Jiang Xianyu might not have gone to Lingnan, so he might as well go to Jinling and Hangzhou to look for it.

……

Half a month later, Xie Chengji and Guan.

Father Xie said: "Since you don't want to take the exam again, then take over the family business and take on the responsibility of Xie's eldest son."

Father Xie closed his eyes and recalled the letter with only a few words, and said ruthlessly: "For my father, I chose the word Linyuan for you, and I want you to remember that he, Jiang Xianyu, is a fish diving into the sea, and you can only be the one in Linyuan." People on the shore with thin shoes!"

"He can abandon his family, you can't! Do you understand?"

Xie Linyuan, who had not recovered from his injuries, knelt in the ancestral hall, swallowed the blood in his throat with red eyes, and swallowed the last sincerity and innocence of his life.

From then on, he put on the shackles and became a stranger to his young boy Tianya.

Jiang Xianyu, who was far away in Jinling, waited half a month for the news of Xie Cheng's crown ceremony and inheritance of the family business.

He finally understood that he couldn't expect Xie Cheng to go the same way with him after all.
