The moon comes to take pictures

How did you say "kiss again", Yuan Junyu didn't have time to think, just felt that there was no moment better than this moment, what kind of kiss is it? He opened his mouth and sucked it in, teased for a moment, and then hugged him in his arms.

It's nothing after that, but Wen Cun said something for a long time, when he was half awake, he felt the coolness of the quilt pillow beside him, and knew that this Wen Cun was a dream, and then fell back to sleep.

Another dream, and I don't know what I'm doing, it's a flock of geese flying across, rustling the autumn mountains, the ground is falling yellow, I only know that I am walking in front, and there is someone's footsteps behind me, suddenly distant and near.After a while, the man caught up panting, and blamed again in his tone: "Brother Yu, wait for me."

Yuan Junyu looked back with a stampede, gave him a cool smile, and extended his hand to him.Liang Xiaoxiao's dream suddenly dissipated, and when he was awake, he couldn't see the person chasing after him, and he felt a little disappointed.

Every few days early in the morning, Yuan Junyu received a letter from Zhejiang, and Zhang Shenxiu wanted to return it.

The letter was delivered in a hurry. According to the estimate of the itinerary, there are still a few days left. After the letter, there are some local products from Quanzhou and Fuzhi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Usually, Yuan Junyu didn't like these things, but he thought they were rare in Nanjing, so he made room for them and asked Ning Ruichen to come and pick out some that he liked.

It's so rare to be free today, and while waiting for others, Yuan Junyu listened to the report of the big and small things in the mansion, and it was the eunuch: "Last month, the Chamber of Commerce's dividends just arrived, and they are being counted by the accountant. The head of the house came and said a few words Let's go."

Yuan Junyu read two southeast mansion newspapers, folded them casually, wiped the emerald ring on his index finger, took two sips of tea, and said casually, "When did you come?"

"Yesterday, when the Lord went to Dugong's place, the slaves made their own decisions and let him in."

Yesterday Chang Xi had a banquet in the officialdom, and he would not be able to go home for a while, presumably Xie Yan chose this day because he wanted to avoid him.No matter how dizzy Xie Yan was, he wouldn't have trouble with money, Yuan Junyu didn't take it seriously: "The account is settled, let me see."

"Yes." The old eunuch blinked his old eyes and hesitated for a moment: "My lord, you were not here yesterday morning, and Eunuch Cui also sent someone to ask about the affairs in the backyard."

Yuan Junyu frowned: "Are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I asked the people in the house about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and didn't say anything else."

"Okay, I see." Yuan Junyu raised his hand to find a piece of paper on the case, wrote a few words, and it was sealed, and it was better to tear it up and burn it. In addition, he told the old eunuch : "The day before yesterday, someone sent you a full set of wishes. Find someone to deliver to Eunuch Cui."

"Yes."

"Also, when I have something to go out later, Second Master Ning is coming, so you entertain me first. If he is bored, you can lead him around."

"Yes." The old eunuch bowed his waist and quietly withdrew.

When Ning Ruichen got the news, he went out, and when he arrived at Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, he was received by an elderly eunuch.He knows this person, and he handles all the chores in the uncle's residence.

The eunuch said: "Master, please tell me, the second master will take a stroll around first, and stay for dinner later."

Ning Ruichen was dazzled by those gadgets, and nodded casually: "Go down, I'll walk by myself."

The eunuch said again: "The pomegranates in the mansion bear fruit. The second master is fine, so why not pick some for fun."

As the eunuch said, you can't walk ten steps from the flower hall. If you look along the moon gate, you can see red fruit the size of a fist.

Ning Ruichen picked two, held them in his palm, and played while walking.To say that the courtyard of Bo’s Mansion is indeed complicated, he wandered around for a while, and then turned around, only to see overlapping clouds and branches stretching out from the edge of the wall. Beyond the layers of mountains, it was clear that every return road was the same, so he knew I'm just afraid of getting lost.

Anyway, I'm still in the uncle's mansion, where can I find a waiter, just call and ask.Ning Ruichen dialed the watch his elder brother gave him, and saw that it was still early, and he was not in any hurry, so he wandered aimlessly.

Walking along the pomegranate tree, there are still some pomegranate flowers on the ground that have not been swept away. Going forward, there is a small clean courtyard. When you first enter, the doors and windows are open, and the windows inside are bright and clean.

I don't know what kind of painting this is.Ning Ruichen went into the courtyard and looked at the display on the table.

There are two hanging scrolls on the wall, a pot of research stones and silk flowers on the desk, and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Not to mention very exquisite, it is also much more refined than ordinary people.Gu Pan came down, this is not like Yuan Junyu's style, it is probably Qing Ke's residence.Those who want to come and stay here are always treated with courtesy.

Ning Ruichen paused for a while, thinking that it would be important to find someone to take him out first. When he was poking his head, he suddenly heard a hum, which sounded like chanting scriptures in a temple. It's just ridiculous and weird.

Ning Ruichen felt strange, and walked eastward out of the yard. There was a rockery cluster, and there was a small hallway in front of it. There was a vat of dried lotus in front of the door. With his waist bent, he squeezed a bald pen, dipped his hand in the water in the tank for a while, and raised his arms to draw something in the air.

This person was indeed familiar, Ning Ruichen tensed up and wanted to leave quickly, but that person had already noticed it, humming something, turned around all of a sudden, stretched his limbs, and stood up straight.

I hadn't noticed it just now, this man was tall, his face was thin and out of shape, his eyes were sunken into the bones, his eyes were dark, and the thin folds extended to the corners of his eyes, he hadn't slept for many days and nights.

"Little brother," the man saw someone approaching, his eyes lit up, he smiled, staggered forward, and held out his empty hands, "Look at the article I wrote? It's a good thing, but it's just useless." You know, I've been writing for ten years..."

Ning Ruichen screamed, took several steps back, and pressed his back against the jagged rocks placed outside the hall: "You, who are you..."

"Me? The skinny man was thinking hard, and suddenly he patted his chest: "I am a Jinshi Jidi, and I was praised by the emperor in the Golden Palace last spring..."

Ning Ruichen was confused: "But last year... there was no big competition."

"Why? You remembered it wrong." The skinny man didn't believe it, and slapped the non-existent book in front of Ning Ruichen a few times: "You don't know any Jinshi from last year, do you? Look, I still have some register--"

He turned the air around again, Ning Ruichen couldn't bear to be entangled, so he hid and asked: "Since you are a Jinshi, why don't you become an official?"

"I can't do it, I can't do it." The thin man jumped three feet high, and pulled Ning Ruichen to shrink between the rocks. While hiding, he warned: "The officialdom is full of miasma and monsters are rampant! I am afraid that my talents are not enough. They have a bite!"

This is a lunatic, Ning Ruichen knew it well, and pulled out his hand vigorously: "Then you can hide here at ease, I will go first."

"You haven't read my book—"

He still wanted to pester him, but Ning Ruichen didn't turn his head back, and ran away with the wind on his feet.While running, he turned his head and vaguely saw two eunuchs with white leather boots coming out from somewhere, strangled the lunatic by both arms, wrestled and shoved him back into the small room.

Uncle Zhongyi's mansion is quite big, and Ning Ruichen ran out two doors in a hurry, and it was another courtyard he had never seen before. He was thinking of finding an eunuch to ask the way, but when he turned around, there were two men in green clothes, so he hurriedly pulled Zhu: "It's just right. Just now, your son has something to do. I just wandered around and couldn't find the way back. Take me to his study. I'll wait for him to come back."

The two fire fighters led him to turn left and right, Ning Ruichen couldn't hold back his curiosity when he thought about what he had just seen, and asked them: "Is there any cleanser living in your mansion?"

One answered: "No, in the past, someone came to recommend themselves, and the prince declined all of them."

Since he is not a Qingke, who is the lunatic that he saw just now?

"And no other friends came to visit?"

"No."

Ning Ruichen became more and more confused, and wanted to ask again, when someone behind him asked, "Where did you go shopping?"

"I don't know," Ning Ruichen laughed when he heard the voice, forgot all the doubts in his heart, and walked over without the two fire fighters, "Your house is too big, I just need to come a few more times .”

Yuan Junyu deliberately teased him: "If you come here a few more times, I still need to find someone to plant a few more plantains."

As soon as Basho was mentioned, Ning Ruichen blushed and walked forward awkwardly.

That night's "why pay Fuluan infatuatedly" was a secret between the two of them, and it was also Ning Ruichen's unspeakable thoughts.Yuan Junyu chased after him: "Then don't grow plantains, but red beans?"

It's getting more and more out of shape!

Ning Ruichen stopped, and he didn't care if anyone was watching, he thumped Yuan Junyu: "You're just bullying me."

A few days later, a large ship landed by the Songjiang River, and it was Zhang Shenxiu who returned to Nanzhili.

As soon as he got home, Zhang Shenxiu first sent messages to a few people who worked with him, and then friends like Ning Ruichen.According to the appointment, Ning Ruichen went to Lianzhou Garden that day, Liu Jiao was a little tanned, but his teeth were still sharp, talking and laughing, while pulling him to show him the good things he brought back.

"I've been here for more than a month this time, and it's been about fifty days." Liu Jiao commanded his servants to move things, as if he had the courage to be in charge, "Shuzhou got some goods, and I kept a few for myself. Palm Eye, if you like it, I will give you one or two."

Ning Ruichen heard him say a lot of things, and said fascinatedly: "It's really interesting, it's a hundred times more thrilling than the legendary stories I've read before."

Liu Jiao smiled nonchalantly: "What you said just now is nothing, our ship stopped in Zhoushan, and we encountered Japanese pirates a few times..." Zhang Shenxiu happened to hear it, and stopped him: "It's not a good thing, saying it will scare the second master .”

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, just talk about the few days when we go south, to Fuzhou. The further south we go, the hotter it really is..." Liu Jiao squinted his eyes and smiled, showing his small white teeth and talking vividly.

"When you left, at least it was already August, even though the autumn tiger is still mighty, it's still as hot as the dog days?" Ning Ruichen didn't believe it.

"I'm not going to lie to you." Liu Jiao took a look at the young master and felt sorry for him for a moment, so he took his hand: "Let's go, don't talk about this, let's go to the back, I will show you something else."

The latter ones are nothing new, they are just musicians holding bamboo qin. Liu Jiao greeted them, and a few musicians came up holding the qin and holding the drums. Ning Ruichen asked frequently: "What kind of book is this?"

"It's Quanqiang," Liu Jiao handed him the opera brochure, "The Quanshang who lives in Fuzhou brought it here, even though he couldn't understand the words, you see them perform, isn't it new?"

Ning Ruichen opened it and found that even if he translated it face to face, he still couldn't understand it. He thought that China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the differences between the north and the south are so huge. If there is a chance in the future, he must go around to enjoy it.

Hearing this all afternoon, he was really tired. Although Liu Jiao still wanted to stay overnight with Ning Ruichen, but there were still some guests coming tomorrow, it would be embarrassing to meet each other, so he asked someone to see them off.The gate of Xizhou Garden was lively, and there were servants carrying gifts coming and going, Ning Ruichen avoided people and called his own sedan chair, and when he was about to go up, he saw a few strong men walking towards the garden.

There was nothing else noticeable about these people, but their behavior was rather strange, their skin was rough, their palms were often pressed against their empty waists, they were not like any kind of people Ning Ruichen usually saw.

He didn't pay much attention, the sedan chair walked to Tianfei Lane, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a mess in front of the Wenjin Bridge in the distance, there were soldiers and civilians, and he didn't know what was going on.Suddenly, someone yelled, and the crowd suddenly exploded. First, the literati in scarves and shirts broke out, and then it was the soldiers with tasseled guns who split the crowd.

The crowd in front of them was also in chaos, and they fled in all directions. Those literati walked faster, and slipped into the streets and alleys extending in all directions through the barrier of civilians.In an instant, the congested road ahead was unimpeded, and there were still traffickers carrying burdens singing long tunes, and the chaos just now seemed to have never happened.

Although the people dispersed, Ning Ruichen still put caution first, stopped the sedan chair, and asked the sedan chair bearer to check the situation.

After a while, the bearer came back and reported, "Just now some literati were traveling and bumped into a group of soldiers, and the two groups started to quarrel. Small fights, don't interfere with crossing the bridge."

"It's fine, why are they arguing?"

"This... said that the group of people who were studying scolded the guard eunuch, and they heard it."

"Go back." Ning Ruichen pulled down the curtain at once, but what he was thinking about was the few literati who rushed out first that he saw just now.

He had seen that face before, so he should be very close to Yuan Junyu.What happened when they ran out to scold Chang Xi?Ning Ruichen knew that there had always been some scholars in Jiangnan who could not understand the domineering and arrogance of eunuchs, and there were always people in the court who wrote books and scolded eunuchs for being domineering.It was their business for these people to scold the eunuchs, but Chang Xi would definitely not make Yuan Junyu feel better.

At one time, the Ministry of War was mobilizing troops, and at another time, the civil society was restless. Ning Ruichen closed his eyes with a headache. It was autumn, and there was no place in Jinling that made people feel at ease.

Back to the Cardamom Pavilion full of worries, Ning Ruichen still asked someone to report to the Bofu, wrote a note and handed it to him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.Just as I was looking for something to pass the time, I suddenly heard a report from my servant: "Master is here."

"My brother?" Ning Ruichen was surprised, hurriedly changed into an outer shirt, and went to the flower hall in the atrium to find someone.
