The moon comes to take pictures

As soon as Ning Yuquan entered the Cardamom Pavilion, he heard a burst of laughter.

There was chatter in the small flower hall, and Ning Ruichen kept talking: "The one just now, what a big carp lantern..."

"Brother Yu, look at this, I just saw it on the side of the road...is it fun?"

When Ning Yuquan heard the word "Brother Yu", he didn't understand what it was, but an inexplicable crisis hit his heart, his scalp exploded, he suddenly opened the curtain, and he was stunned when he entered.

"Why are you wearing this clothes!" The elder brother frowned when he saw Yuan Junyu standing beside him.

"Brother?" Ning Ruichen turned his head with an excited smile on his face. When he saw Ning Yuquan, he lifted his robe and ran over: "Guess what! I just... went out to watch the lights!"

There is really no difference in the appearance of him presenting treasures to others. Stupid, Yuan Junyu stood in the shadow of the magnolia tree in the small courtyard, quietly watching the pair of brothers, without saying a word,

"nice?"

Ning Ruichen nodded, blushing brightly on his face: "It's beautiful, I've never seen it before."

"Brother will take you to see it next time." Ning Yuquan patted his head, "Go and change the clothes, where did you find such a suit, it doesn't look good."

"I, I changed it myself." Ning Ruichen's face became hot, he was embarrassed.Before going out, Yuan Junyu said that his attire was too eye-catching, so he simply changed into an ordinary one, but he couldn't find any eye-catching ones on the left and right, so he had to borrow Yuan Junyu's to put it on.This cotton gown is spacious, and the sleeves on both sides of the body hang straight down.

Ning Yuquan glanced at Yuan Junyu indifferently, and pushed Ning Ruichen: "Go change it, brother has something to talk to you in a while."

"Hey." Ning Ruichen responded, turned his head, saw Yuan Junyu, felt that the atmosphere between him and his elder brother was really strange, took two steps, and turned back worriedly: "Have the flowerbeds in the garden been watered yet?" Yes, go and do it quickly." He pointed to the back garden, blinked slightly, and signaled Yuan Junyu to go first.

"...Farewell." Yuan Junyu cupped his hands, took a few steps back, turned around, and disappeared behind the flower hall.

It's still the same two-story painting building, the incense is faintly floating upwards, and the whole room is lightly fragrant.The servant went upstairs with the hot tea set, Ning Yuquan sipped the tea soup and sat upright.

Ning Ruichen was casual, flipping through a "The Peacock Sutra" in his hand, and leaning halfway on the edge of the tea table, he changed into a narrow-sleeved satin robe with lotus patterns and dark flowers, lined with persimmon silk, and a handful of beads wrapped around the cuffs Small sandalwood beads, half loose hair, slightly drooping phoenix eyes, calm and gentle face, a pious and docile Buddha.

Anyone who sees her ignorant appearance will find it deceptive.

"Did you go out with him today? The opera singer?" Ning Yuquan buckled the lid of the tea, as if asking for guilt.

"Brother is talking about that person in the flower hall?" Ning Ruichen didn't take it seriously, he raised his eyes leisurely, and there was still the excitement in his eyes when he left the house just now, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother, he doesn't sing now ... People can't help themselves."

"He can't help himself?" Ning Yuquan's face darkened, "It's only been a few days, and he has entered the room. I think he has a lot of tricks!"

Ning Ruichen knew that he was talking about Yuan Junyu's coming to the house, and immediately knew that his eldest brother was dissatisfied, he put aside the scriptures, and leaned forward coquettishly: "That's because I don't know how to do things, and ruin his future. Besides, he doesn't have a future like that, and it's a good thing to let him come home."

What Ren Ning Ruichen said, the elder brother always had a familiar sense of hostility towards Yuan Junyu, he babbled: "Do good things... I don't think he means that, he treats you... well, to our family, specify It's something else."

After finishing speaking, he patted the table earnestly: "You are too kind-hearted, so you always coax and trust me."

For a moment, Ning Ruichen's face became a little stiff, and he returned to his seat, grabbing the soft cushion under his body: "He's not that so-and-so... He has suffered, and he's different from that person."

Ning Yuquan didn't even think about it: "If he is that so-and-so, I'll beat him out right now. Those surnamed Xie, those surnamed Yuan, one counts as the other... Don't try to harm anyone under my nose."

Ning Ruichen said shyly, "Brother..." His voice trembled slightly, he realized it, he quickly lowered his head, and read in his heart according to the words on the scriptures, so that he could feel the anxiety.

"It's all right, Rui'er," Ning Yuquan saw his appearance, and his heart softened, "Tell the truth to my elder brother, is there any..."

"He's not that kind of person," Ning Ruichen swore. "I owed him a debt of reckless behavior. I can't repay the debt. I can't settle down. I insisted on him coming to the house. When the situation subsides, so I--"

"If the favor is returned, you let him go?" The elder brother raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Ning Ruichen was about to agree, but for some reason, before his eyes were those dazzling lights that he had only seen at night again.He twirled two handfuls of sandalwood beads, and moved his eyes to the engraved book of the Peacock Sutra: "When the time comes, if he wants to leave, he can leave."

Ning Yuquan got the right words, and when he got up, he muttered: "He wants to stay, but I won't let him."

At night, Xie Yan walked by the side of the Confucius Temple, and saw that there were still students coming in and out. They had been waiting for half an hour, and the bearers came to ask twice, but the waiting people were long overdue.

"Thank you, Boss, you're safe and well!" The person who came was a one-eyed man, dressed in dark gray, with a pair of cowhide armbands on his pipa sleeves, and two knives resting on his waist, and pedestrians avoided him.

"Master Wei," Xie Yan cupped his hands, "Xiaomin has been waiting for you for a long time."

There were lights on both sides of the Qinhuai River, lurking in the dark like a star river. Xie Yan invited people to the pier and gave some instructions to the people in charge below. The lights are hung, and the boatman pulls the curtains for others. There are no horizontal seats inside, only a round table and two guest seats.

Wei Shui smiled and said, "Boss Xie is an elegant person."

Xie Yan cheered: "I think Mr. Wei is used to the delicacies of Nanjing, why don't you come and try my little red clay stove once in a while?"

This is a private banquet for the two of them. In winter, they hired a cruise ship and set up a copper pot. Stewed beef and mutton in it, sprinkled some spicy sauce from Fanbang, and the gluttons were moved by the smell.

When they spoke, they both sat down.

There are light footsteps on the board from time to time, it is people on the shore carrying wine, meat and soup to and fro.Xie Yan held up a pair of long chopsticks, stirred the boiling soup in the copper pot, and mixed a plate of brown and black sauce with green onion and garlic, with red pepper and green onion sandwiched, it was really attractive.

"When I was traveling in Huguang in the past, when I came across cattle and sheep being slaughtered, a squire entertained beef offal. I will never forget it. Come on," cattle are good things. Xie Yan lowered his voice and filled a steaming bowl, "Everyone loves that The meat on your body is offal, so the so-called rich don't want to eat it, and the poor don't want to cook it, Master Wei, do you want to give me a face?"

Wei Shui didn't have so many taboos, he would eat whatever he wanted, and immediately held up his chopsticks and dipped them in the sauce to eat.

Xie Yan raised his cheeks, heard the sound outside the boat gradually becoming silent, and heard the faint sound of oars paddling outside, he became less taboo: "Today I invite Mr. Wei to dinner, in fact, I want to say goodbye."

Hearing this, Wei Shui raised his head: "Oh? The scenery in Jinling is beautiful, and I haven't brought Boss Xie around to play, why are you in a hurry to leave? Could it be that you are concerned about the business in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Saying this is actually a polite way, both of them understand how much money Xie Yan spent on this trip to Nanjing.Chang Xi had taken care of it, and he had to go to each of the six departments. The six departments had all left. Of course, the Sanfasi, Jinyiwei, and Zhifu Yamen should also go to visit. Xie Yan spent a lot of money just for a "Japanese pirate". Lost half of the purse.

Xie Yan said with a smile: "Brother Wei guessed right, I have dozens of shops in Songjiang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion that no one will look at, besides, I am also worried about the one at home. This meal, this drink, it is you and me A testimony of our future reunion."

Wei Shui raised his glass in no hurry, and slowly wiped the oil on the leather armband: "But I heard that Boss Xie still has an old friend, do you want to meet?"

Xie Yan stared at the wine cup, smiling unabated.

"Why don't you see me?" Wei Shui laughed loudly and raised his glasses to each other. "We in Nanzhili, some people are good to meet, and some people are not. I think this is a chance. Come back next time, say no." The quasi-people will forget about you."

Xie Yan ate the food: "It's a matter of no shadow, Master Wei, Xie Weiqing is a common man, Master Wei doesn't need to check me like this. Your Excellency is Chang Dugong's celebrity, spending time on Weiqing is really not worth it."

"Boss Xie, you just called him 'Brother Wei' just now, and now you're an 'adult' again," Wei Shui waved his hand, without any embarrassment at being questioned, "Since I don't want to see you, then I don't need to force others to make things difficult , It’s just a piece of advice from my brother... This is the real truth, there are some things, if you don’t seize the opportunity now, in the future you will..."

In Wei Shui's one eye, there was an indistinct inquiring look, and Xie Yan shook the wine glass with one hand, avoiding that look.

"Forget it, Boss Xie, he is a smart man, and he never engages in business that loses money. Come on, let's do this. The imperial court's wars along the coast these years are too suffocating, and it's really enjoyable for us to kill Japanese pirates this time, thanks to Boss Xie." Help with all your strength," Wei Shui stood up and poured wine into two empty glasses, "If there are any difficulties in the future, brothers will naturally attack both sides."

He bit the word "knife" very hard, and smiled inexplicably.Xie Yan showed a mouthful of white teeth, shining brightly under the candlelight, like a sharpened white blade: "Okay, Weiqing drank this cup."
