The moon comes to take pictures

Ning Ruichen was wearing a golden robe woven with lotus branches. Before going out, he glanced in the mirror several times uneasy, walked along the river, and when he arrived at Lion Mountain, Liu Jiao was already waiting for him at the tea shed at the foot of the mountain.

The tea shed was not big, and there was a person who looked like a flower sitting there. Anyone who passed by had to look twice. Ning Ruichen always felt that Liu Jiao's beauty had a kind of shrewdness, but only after getting to know him did he know that he had always been Dare to love and hate.

"Here we come." Liu Jiao beckoned to him. On his finger was a big gold ring, embedded with a circle of small pearls, clustered with a thumb-sized turquoise. Agate ring.

"I'm late," Ning Ruichen quietly looked at the two tall guards around him, "Your family?"

Liu Jiao glanced indifferently, and complained: "I won't let you come, but Shuzhou insists on letting me follow, I'm so annoyed."

Ning Ruichen was stunned, it's no wonder Zhang Shenxiu was not at ease with Liu Jiao's careless appearance.

As soon as the two met and drank two bowls of tea, they walked up the mountain.Liu Jiao twirled his agate ring, looking very precious, and suddenly swept across Ning Ruichen's chest where the gold lock was hung, and asked: "I don't know if it's not effective to ask for marriage when I enter the temple this time?"

Ning Ruichen said: "I haven't asked for this, but sincerity makes spirit."

Liu Jiao walked up the stone steps of the mountain path with his robe in his hand, and looked at him in surprise when he heard this: "How old are you, have you ever asked for it?"

Turning sideways to avoid several pilgrims coming down the mountain, Ning Ruichen said frankly: "I usually wish for the well-being of some family members."

"That's right," Liu Jiao muttered, and walked forward thoughtfully, "You have a good family background, so you don't need to seek any marriage. Anyway, Master is also determined..."

What he said was wrong, Ning Ruichen followed behind him, thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on, until he reached the main hall, Liu Jiao's unclear voice was still spinning in his head.

Seeking marriage in every temple is exactly the same, Liu Jiao turned his back, grabbed a piece of red silk and wrote there, and it took him a long time to tie the silk to the tree mysteriously. "Don't you really want to write one?" Liu Jiao pointed to the tree, all of which were decorated with red silk cloth, and some of them had bells tied to them, and when the wind passed, they would jingle.

Ning Ruichen explained meekly: "This is a marriage tree."

Liu Jiao raised her head to look for her piece of cloth, and glanced over for a long time: "No matter how strong the marriage is, there will always be quarrels, right?"

It's really wrong, Ning Ruichen didn't pay attention to Liu Jiao's weird words, remembering that they had an appointment to watch a play, looked at the sky for a while, and said: "The play is about to start, let's go down the mountain quickly."

But at the foot of the mountain, Liu Jiao insisted on sharing a sedan chair with him, but Ning Ruichen couldn't help it, so he had to agree. The two of them squeezed into the sedan chair, staggering. At this time, Liu Jiao muttered again: "Let's come out, Master doesn't know?" ?”

After walking around with him for a long time, Ning Ruichen was a little lazy, and looked at him with phoenix eyes: "If you are afraid that he will anger you, go to him more often."

"I'm not afraid..." Liu Jiao muttered, with an inquiring look on his face, "Hey, my master, what do you two usually do..."

Here it comes again, Ning Ruichen glanced at him: "Say it."

"You..." Liu Jiao blinked furtively, and asked, "Sleep together, or?"

The sedan chair jolted suddenly, and Ning Ruichen was jolted inside. He heard the bearer calling out that he was on a rough road, sat down a little, and then turned his face sideways: "He is the prince, why would he sleep with me?"

"That's right, your family is strictly controlled."

Ning Ruichen couldn't help but laugh: "You said some strange things in the morning, what are you going to do?"

Liu Jiao stared, and the little red mole on her forehead jumped up: "You and my master are good, why don't I inquire about it?"

Speaking of this, no matter how dull he is, Ning Ruichen has to understand, and rubbed Liu Jiao's head: "What are you thinking, Brother Yu and I, how could there be such a relationship."

When he said "that relationship," it sounded a bit dismissive.Liu Jiao understood that Ning Ruichen felt contemptuous of this statement, he and his master were friends of upright gentlemen, and he was the one who was shameful!Thinking of this, he froze a little, grabbed his sleeves, thinking about something, and didn't speak again until he reached the gate of the theater.

Ning Ruichen was so happy that he had nothing to worry about, he got off the sedan chair, and was waiting for the opening in the theatre, the shengxiao was playing vigorously, there were many people sitting underneath, eating melon seeds and fresh fruits, chatting non-stop.

Going up, there will be fewer people. Ning Ruichen is holding the hem of his robe, and is carefully stepping on the steps. Suddenly, Liu Jiao in front of him utters a low cry, and turns around in a hurry, covering his face. He doesn't know who he saw. It looks like it's not as good as it is.

"what happened?"

"I didn't read the almanac when I went out! I met that old friend of Shuzhou, and he doesn't like me!" Liu Jiao kept a secret, and couldn't bear his good looks. After some movement, many people turned to look over here .

Ning Ruichen looked in the direction he was looking at just now, and saw that several people were entering the large open private room one after another, and the faces of the people who had already been seated could be seen clearly through the sparse gaps. It was Xie Yan, the other was Cui Zhu, and further to the side, in the center, was Yuan Junyu.

Judging by the atmosphere, it was the time when they were chatting happily, probably talking about something happy, after Cui Zhu finished speaking, he pulled a few strange faces beside him and smiled together.

So, no matter how exciting the scene was, Ning Ruichen didn't intend to listen to it anymore.

As the son of the prince, Yuan Junyu had to socialize, to make friends, to show goodwill, and to cling to the few pieces of Zhuangzi's land bestowed by the court, he would not live long.Ning Ruichen understood him, and pulled Liu Jiao to leave, but was still spotted by Cui Zhu. From a long distance, the young eunuch said loudly with a smile on his face, "Master Ning, what a coincidence!"

After hearing this, Liu Jiao seized the opportunity and whispered: "He called you...then I will slip away." Then he walked through the stairs and fled downstairs.

Ning Ruichen was dumbfounded by the speed of his footsteps, he waited until the good eunuch yelled a second time, then he thought he was unlucky, shook his robe, and walked over unhurriedly.

"I was talking about you just now," Cui Zhu winked at the waiter next to him, and asked someone to bring a chair over, "Look, Young Master Ning, there are quite a few acquaintances here today, His Royal Highness, Boss Xie, They're all friends."

Ning Ruichen glanced at it, not only those who came to the theater, Cui Zhu almost brought over the set of Chang Xi's banquet at home, silver dishes, gold embroidered screen, and several beautiful actors beside him, Yingying Yanyan Serving at the wine table.There was another one by the window, who was blind in one eye, and when he saw someone coming, his eyes lightly touched Ning Ruichen's body, and then he immediately looked away.Ning Ruichen has a little impression of him, it should be Chang Xi's Jin Yiwei, who seems to be called Wei Shui.

There were a dozen people at a table, and it was the most spacious private room upstairs in the theatre. Taking advantage of the time before the stage, Cui Zhu, like a caring brother, pulled Ning Ruichen to talk a lot.Because of his family background, everyone present was also interested in him, and they came to support him one after another. If Yuan Junyu hadn't interjected a few words for him, Ning Ruichen would not have been able to stay for a moment.

After a while, the play was about to start, Cui Zhu was still in high spirits: "If anyone among us is closest to Young Master Ning, it will definitely not be me, nor the prince."

Yuan Junyu knew what he was going to say, and said, "Why, Master Ning has become our lottery?"

Cui Zhu smiled and said: "No, the prince knows me, I can't hide my words all the time. It's also because Boss Xie went to the theater with me last time, so I know that these two are old acquaintances."

"Second brother Xie, I respect you." Ning Ruichen raised his cup with a smile, and said to Cui Zhu: "My family and Xie's family used to have contacts. When we were young, we were still studying together. After all these years, I thought we would never see each other again. When we arrived, I didn't expect Eunuch Cui to be so kind, and we met again."

Here, Xie Yan covered his sleeves and gulped it down. Just as he was about to say something, Yuan Junyu took Ning Ruichen's cup away: "You can't drink so much."

Cui Zhu was playing with the hand of the little actor next to him, and suddenly said "Oh!"

People around made fun of: "Eunuch Cui said that, it's not right."

As soon as the voice fell, the play started, and the song was still sung by Peony Pavilion. As soon as the tune was played, the room suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke.

There were red flowers and green calyxes on the stage, and the performance was lively. It was unknown how many hours later, the candles on the stage suddenly grew bigger, and the shadows gradually disappeared.Then the actors in emerald shirts and skirts moved onto the stage like splashing water, and bowed to take the curtain call. Ning Ruichen was still in the play, and didn't pull away for a while, when he heard a small tune for opening the door, he realized that the play was over. There is really a sense of disappointment in the mountains that does not know the age, and then look around, the visitors are all gone, only a few familiar faces are still sitting in the mess.

The cups and plates were messed up, Cui Zhu got up and greeted someone to send Wei Shui, and said: "Today's hospitality is not enough, I have only been in Nanjing for a few days, and I am looking for a theater troupe to take care of me. When the time comes, Zhang Luo will be ready, and the first one will invite Uncle Wu to come with me." Brother Wei, come to watch at home!"

Wei Shui on the other end said with a smile: "Eunuch Cui is very kind, you know Duke Du's intentions, you always have something interesting, and you will never take it all by yourself."

After speaking, they all laughed inexplicably.

Here Yuan Junyu was planning to leave, and was looking at Ning Ruichen, but before there was a response, Cui Zhu finished seeing off the guests and walked over with a smile: "Are you satisfied with today's play?"

Yuan Junyu just gave him face as a routine, and nodded slightly: "It's okay."

"The prince is an expert, so he must be able to make the prince nod at this point. It must be a bit of skill." Cui Zhu waved his fingers casually, and said to the following Huo Zhe: "I appreciate it."

He is really generous, he will reward a few gold bars if he says so, and in this spare time, Xie Yan, who had been sitting silently all night, got up and said goodbye.

"I still have chores here, so I won't stay any longer." Xie Yan put away the fan, stuck it in his back collar, and smiled.

"Boss Xie is always busy," Cui Zhu grabbed his hand, "I came here in a sedan chair, right? I'm a carriage, faster than yours, and always on the way, so I'll send you back first." He couldn't help but say, and went out Opening the curtain, "It just so happens that the crown prince came with me, so we can go back together."

"This...how dare I be with the prince..." Xie Yan said, looking at Yuan Junyu.

Yuan Junyu was noncommittal.

"Okay, don't talk about your son." Suddenly, Cui Zhu smiled, showing a mouthful of silvery teeth: "I know, Boss Xie is a respectable person, and he always only gives my fifth uncle face."

Xie Yan was shocked for a moment, yes, the two eunuchs said that they were relatives, but they were not a family after all.If he wanted to feel like a fish in water, then the water had to be leveled first.

"That's it," Xie Yan cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation, "It's better to be respectful than to obey, you two please first."

This time, Ning Ruichen became anxious and let the three of them share the car, and Cui Zhu is a bad embryo who is afraid of chaos in the world, who knows what he will say in front of Yuan Junyu.The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he blurted out: "I'll go too—"

Fortunately, Cui Zhu's carriage was spacious enough to seat the four of them, which was more than enough. Cui Zhu really put the conversation on Xie Yan on the way, asking him to tell a lot of stories about the past in Nanjing, which inevitably made Ning Ruichen Mention.

After all, those few years were happy, Ning Ruichen couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic when he heard it, Xie Yan would be able to pick up a few sentences every time he finished speaking, but Yuan Junyu was left out in the cold.

"At that time in the family school, there were a few children from the side line. We were playful and sometimes quietly put frogs under the teacher's table..."

This is something I have never heard of before, and Ning Ruichen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "Is there such a thing?"

"You don't know, there are many." Speaking of his youth, Xie Yan was also very emotional. Five or six years in a flash, it didn't last long, but Nanjing really changed, "The year I first came, I gave you Picking flowers, and falling off your ass—you don't know that, do you?"

At this moment, Ning Ruichen remembered that Yuan Junyu had come, and suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and moved back with a sneer.

Sure enough, Yuan Junyu spoke at this time.

"Speaking of this, I also remembered it." Yuan Junyu smiled and put Xie Yan on the shoulder, "I remember that time, it was still at night, I was building a ladder to fold flowers in Commander Ning's garden, and I happened to see Weiqing .”

It could be seen that Xie Yan's smile froze for a moment, but Yuan Junyu didn't care, and continued: "At that time, why didn't you come in?"
