I was reborn with amnesia and was picked up by Lao Gong
Chapter 97: Unstoppable
Then, mother, Yan'er wants to hear a story!You haven't finished talking about yesterday's—"
"Okay, okay. Hey, what did you talk about yesterday?"
Yue Han stood in front of the courtyard, looking at the figure reflected on the paper lattice door.Those figures swayed with the wind, and they overlapped with the other people unconsciously...
Seven years ago, when he had just turned thirteen, he was appointed as the moon judge, and in his own body, he undertook the duty of day and night patrol.
At first, he was not familiar with the streets in the city, and only knew how to walk around, but after a long time of exploration, he gradually got used to it—and this was not entirely a good thing.
"East of the city, three miles north of Pinminglou..."
That night, Yue Han finally couldn't help it, and followed the route in his memory to a courtyard.
However, when he hesitated for a long time and finally decided to knock on the door, he heard an exclamation directly:
"Ghost - there is a ghost!"
Mother?
Yue Huan's heart trembled, and she turned her head with joy, only to see the screen window closing with a "bang" in front of her eyes, and even the fork of the window fell to the ground, rolling away.
He raised his head in a daze, but saw that the room was flickering, and the figure reflected on the door was also shaking: "What are you yelling about? Where did the ghost come from?"
"Master, I, I just saw, saw Xu'er..."
"What nonsense are you talking about at night? That little monster died a few years ago, how could it appear here?"
"Precisely because of this, it is even more terrifying! Tell me, he came here to claim his life..."
The woman's voice was trembling, while the man smacked his lips impatiently, and said, "You must be tired from weaving, have you missed it? I've been busy all day, and I don't have the time to mess around with you."
"No, that's definitely Xu'er..."
"Okay, if you keep arguing, Heng'er will wake up."
With a creak, the window opened again, revealing a man's head.He looked around for a while, shrank his head, and closed the window again.
"Just say you read it wrong, right? It's the middle of the night, who can be there?"
"But, but, maybe it's not a human..."
The voices in the room fell silent, and after a while, a man's voice came out: "I'm going to move in three days, so don't make a fuss at this juncture. By the way, have you confirmed with your cousin? Over there in Yijia Country, Is it really better than Sulan?"
"This... Anyway, Heng'er doesn't have any talent for conjuration, so if he stays in Sulan, he will never see his day..."
"Hey, then you should inquire quickly. It's not so easy to come back after leaving the city."
"it is good."
The voices of people in the room gradually died down, and Yue Han, who was hiding behind the tree, slowly walked out of the shadow.
He didn't know why he wanted to hide, but he did so subconsciously.
"Father...mother..."
Yuehan shouted in a daze, but her voice was so small that it was barely audible.
"Xu'er... is here."
Looking at the suddenly dark room, he seemed to taste the bitter loess in his mouth.
"Cuckoo..."
A bird's song came from the sky, waking Yuehan from his thoughts.He glanced at the dim wooden house, took a few steps back, turned around and ran back.
"You monster, let's see how I beat you to death!!"
A curse came from next to his ear, as clear as before.
Yue Han stumbled and fell against the wall of the laneway.He closed his eyes, trying to dispel the memories in his mind, but it became clearer——
He remembered that when he was not good that day, he secretly hugged his younger brother, and after being punished by his father, he half-delayed and left the door.
"Father...Xu'er is so dizzy..."
The sun was shining brightly that day.Dad grabbed his arm and led him away for a long time.
"Don't worry, you won't be dizzy in a while."
He remembered that when Dad said this, he had a smile on his face.
"Xu'er, I've told you not to touch my younger brother--you're disobedient, so Father hit harder. In fact, Father himself felt uncomfortable beating you, so he took Xu'er out to relax, It's compensation."
"Let's relax..."
Yue Han walked in a daze, although her body was in severe pain, a trace of joy floated in her heart.
——It’s rare to have the opportunity to go out, this discomfort, just bear it.
He thought so.So when Father took him into the forest and let him jump into the dug hole, he did so without hesitation.
"Father, staying in this cave, I really don't feel so dizzy!"
He touched the wet soil around him and waved his arms excitedly.
"Look, Dad didn't lie to you, did he?"
A head protruded above the pothole, and the backlit face made it hard to see the expression.
"You stay here, daddy is going to buy candy for you, and I'll be back later."
"Okay! Thank you Dad!"
Yuehan thanked happily, and then sat down at the bottom of the pit.He took the thin grass on the side and turned it lightly, and picked up a few stones to play with.
"Father is so slow..."
He waited for a long time, and fell asleep unconsciously. It was not until the rain hit his body that he woke up from the cold.
"Father, where are you?"
Looking at the darkness, Yue Han couldn't help feeling a little scared.
The wet and cold rain kept falling, and the surrounding soil became sticky and slippery.
"Daddy?"
When the muddy water began to flood his calf, his survival instinct made him start to crazily grab the cave wall and shouted loudly.
"Father, Xu'er knows I'm wrong... Please pull me out, will you?"
The only response to him was torrential rain and the rolling loess.The clammy air invaded the lungs, and the smell of earth filled the nostrils——
A piece of adobe collapsed, pressing Yueyin into the muddy water.
"Cough, cough!"
Struggling in the mud, he managed to poke his head out, only to be submerged again by the freshly fallen sand.
This went on and on several times, and when he was finally exhausted and about to give up—the rain stopped.
"sun……"
It was the first time for the moon, so I hope to see the sun.
Under the sunshine, the rain slowly receded.The mud under his feet also slowly condensed into loess lumps.
"Father..."
Yuehan yelled in a daze, feeling pain everywhere in her body, and her throat hurt like a fire.
He stood up staggeringly, stretched out his hand to grab the protruding stones beside him, stepped on the loess under his feet, and tried his best to climb up.
After he finally walked out of the pothole and climbed under the shade of the tree with the remaining will, he completely lost consciousness.
This land is too unfamiliar to Yue Han who hasn't been out for a long time.He circled in the mountains, quickly lost his sense of direction, and only relied on his survival instinct to pick some bark and wild fruits to eat.
He found a stream, washed the dirt off his body, and then stared at the reflection on the water, thinking that he might as well not wash.
"monster……"
He looked at himself reflected in the water——silver hair, purple pupils, white and thin face, completely different from ordinary people.
"monster……"
He murmured, took a step back, picked up a stone, and threw it forward.
"Go away!!"
The stream was stirred up into a splash, and then shook out circles of ripples.
Looking at the water waves, Yuehan walked slowly to the stream and knelt down.Holding his breath, he bent down slowly, but only saw the white shadow broken into several pieces, each of which reflected ugly purple eyes.
"Do not……"
He pressed the ground back a few steps, then stood up abruptly, and ran back frantically.
Dad, mother, brother...
Why... only me, a monster?
As he ran, he felt his head was in a mess, and his body couldn't help being stabbed—but what did it matter?
If I was born and destined to be rejected by others, then...
The author has something to say:
The hair color (ochre) that Yue Kuan imagined later was the color of his younger brother's fetal hair that he saw last.
100. Chapter [-]: Peach's Yaoyao
"You are...Xiaoyuepan? What are you doing here?"
The sudden human voice startled Yue Han.He wiped his eyes with his hand, took a step back, and bowed to the person who came:
"Flower judgment is good for seniors."
"Wow, this name is really new-although you are younger than me, you don't want to call me that old."
Hearing this, Yue Han froze for a moment, then raised her head to look at the smiling person in front of her.
"Senior...does it sound old?"
"Of course. Think of me as a beautiful young man in the blooming season. If I am called by seniors long and short, what a bargain! You should follow Brother Hua and call me Huafan, or remove the word "senior" from the back and call me Huafan." I'll just pay the judgment. "
"Okay, sorry."
Yue Han didn't know how to respond, so she had to choose to apologize.But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man pressing his forehead, with a sad and troubled expression on his face:
"Hey, why is he a serious guy again—forget it, what's your name?"
He jumped up the topic very quickly, Yue An was slightly startled, and then replied: "Huapan, my name is Yue An."
"Yue, mute, um, what a good name."
Hua Fan rolled her eyes and said, "However, you and I are regarded as equals, so don't use those boring etiquette titles anymore—hey, what's wrong with you?"
Yue Han was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she didn't know when she shed tears.He wiped away the tears in embarrassment, and said, "Sorry, it's too windy here."
Hua Fan glanced at the courtyard in the distance, then smirked, and said, "That's right. You are so small, so you are naturally weaker."
Moon was silent.
In order not to contradict his senior, he carefully picked a topic to respond: "Hua Pan, I'm not called Hanan..."
"Ah? I know, this is just a way to shorten the distance between people. It's like I call Xuehua Brother Hua, and he occasionally calls me crazy, haha."
Moonlight fell silent again.He looked at the cheerful person in front of him, thinking about the possibility that the other person was mentally ill.
"Okay, since it's very windy here, let's take shelter from the wind."
As Hua Fan said, she directly took Yue Han's hand, and was about to walk forward.
Yue Han felt a strange touch coming from the palm of his hand, and was taken aback, and immediately flicked it vigorously, and slapped the opponent's hand away.
After he realized what he had done, he was flustered and apologized hastily.
"Sorry, I……"
"it hurts."
Hua Fan touched her hand with an aggrieved expression on her face: "Silence, why are you so cruel——"
"Sorry, I was wrong. If you are angry, you can punch me a few times."
Yue Han thought about the way to deal with Father in the past, and closed her eyes passively.
Suddenly, warmth came from the palm of my hand again;
And the body was pulled hard, and it left the ground in an instant.
Yuehan opened her eyes in horror, only to see Huafan smiling and pulling her, floating in the silvery moonlight.
"It's fine to apologize. Since you feel guilty, you can have dinner with me."
"But, but, I still have to watch at night..."
"Is this important? Eating is more important than the sky. If you refuse to accompany me, I will not forgive you."
Before Yue Han could think of a way to refute, she was pulled by Hua Fan and flew straight to the bustling street.
After that day, Hua Fan used all kinds of excuses to stop the person who set out for the night patrol, and then stalked him for dinner.
"Hua Pan, I can no longer neglect my duties."
"What are you afraid of, your magic weapon is very fine, just let it wander around the city by itself."
"Can……"
"Okay, so what are you doing seriously? You have to enjoy life to the fullest. If the Palace Master blames you, I will help you."
From Yuehan's point of view, it is a serious problem, but when it comes to Huafan, it is only an understatement, not worth mentioning.
He can go to the right hall to look for people on a whim, just to let Yue Kuan take a look at the new sprouts, or admire the Hongqiao in the sky.
For example, on this day, after the silent night patrol, he was woken up by someone not long after he rested.
"Duh, hurry up, something big happened outside the palace!"
"what happened?"
"I can't explain clearly in a few words. You wash and change clothes quickly, and see you at the gate of the palace later."
"Ah."
Yuehan rubbed her red eyes, left the bed where she had just been lying down for a while, cleaned herself up as quickly as possible, and then went to the gate of the palace.
However, after Huafan eagerly dragged him to take off, the last place he arrived at was the Pinminglou in the east of the city.
"This is... the big thing you're talking about?"
Yue Han sat in the teahouse full of people, looked at the elegant tea-sipping person opposite, and once again had the cognition of "this person is an asshole".
"That's right. After half a year, Pinminglou finally launched new pastries! If I hadn't made an agreement with the shopkeeper in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this teahouse after waiting half a day!"
For the eighteenth time this month, Yue Han, who was dragged out of bed by someone, silently thought about the contents of today's black book.
Perhaps out of concern, the palace lord once gave Yueyin two booklets, asking him to record anecdotes about life so that he could have an outlet for his suppressed emotions.
Although this move was well-intentioned, Yue Mu only repeated between night patrols and rest, and every day was the same, so he really couldn't think of anything to write about.
And ever since I got to know Hua Fan, that black and white brochure began to come into play.I just don't know if this is luck or misfortune.
"Hey, don't you want to eat?"
"Sorry, I have no appetite."
Yue huddled in the shadows in the corner of the wall, trying to fight against the gradually rising sleepiness.
The person in front of him raised his eyebrows, then stood up suddenly, and stuffed a piece of emerald green pastry into his mouth.
"Well……"
Yue Mu felt that her mouth was overflowing with fragrance, and her drowsiness dissipated a lot immediately.He swallowed the pastry, then looked at the man who was smiling and said, "Hua Pan, you—"
"What, isn't it delicious? I remember you like the fragrance of wormwood, and if you want to make it into a pastry, it will also suit your taste."
"I……"
Yue Wei was startled for a while, before she could respond, another piece was stuffed in her mouth.
"This mugwort cake has a thin skin and lots of fillings, and the bean paste inside is soft and glutinous. It's delicious."
Hua Fan said with a smile, she also ate a piece, and then showed a satisfied smile.
"Hey, don't you really like it? If you don't eat it, I'll pay for it all?"
"like."
Yuehan lowered her head and chewed quietly.
"It's good if you like it. It's worth it. I begged Shopkeeper Luo for half a month—how is it? Are you very touched?"
"Hmm. Thank you."
Yue Han thanked him honestly, while Hua Fan beamed with joy and smiled brightly: "Mu Han, close your eyes."
Although Yue Han had doubts in her heart, she still obediently complied.
He felt Hua Fan walk behind him all at once, stroked his neck with both hands, and pulled up the drooping hair.
"With your long hair hanging around, it's very inconvenient to move around. Why don't you tie it up high and look more refreshed."
Yue Huan opened her eyes, only to feel a slight chill on the back of her neck, she was really not used to it.He stretched out his hand to reach back, and just as he touched the edge of the hair tie, he was caught by another hand.
"I heard from Brother Hua that there have been rumors of ocher-haired ghosts circulating in the city recently. If you don't want to be misunderstood again, just accept it obediently."
Yue Han was silent for a long time, and said: "Hua Pan, do you always meddle in other people's business like this?"
"Well... not really. You called me senior, I should take care of you more, shouldn't I?"
"Then, if you compare me with Senior Xuehua, then..."
"Stupid boy, what do you compare with him? Brother Hua is so big, why do I need to worry about it? Even so, there is still a need to worry about it, haha."
Yue Huan looked at the man who was laughing heartlessly, and fell into speechlessness again.
"Okay, it's time for me to patrol the city. Do you want to go back by yourself, or should I give you a ride?"
Hua Fan put a few pieces of silver on the side of the table, then stretched comfortably, got up and asked.
"It's important to patrol the city, I can go back by myself."
"Okay, then..."
"Flowers."
Yuehan interrupted, stood up and walked to Huafan.
"I'm-wait a minute, why did you suddenly call my name? It's scary."
Hua Fan patted his heart and said, "What's the matter? If you have any request, just say it boldly. Even if I can't do it, I can leave it to Brother Hua to do it."
Yuehan raised her head, stood on tiptoes, looked at the person who was still half a head taller than herself, and said word by word: "I will work hard."
"What? It's just going back to the palace. If it doesn't work, I can send you back."
"That's not what I meant...forget it."
Yue Han pursed her lips and said, "I'm going back first, see you at dinner time."
"Huh? Didn't you refuse a long time ago..."
"I've changed my mind. That's it."
This time, it was Hua Fan's turn to be speechless.He looked at the person running downstairs quickly, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "This kid, doesn't he want to learn from Brother Hua? I've worked so hard, why haven't I straightened him..."
He was talking to himself, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the sunlight outside the window, and his mood improved again.
"Forget it, the sun is shining today, just right for going out for a walk."
So, with brisk steps, he stepped out of the teahouse happily to welcome the enthusiastic people.
"Anyway, the days are still long. First of all, where should I take Hanan tonight..."
"To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest, don't let the gold gourd face the moon."
"it is good!"
Inside the Yangliu residence, a person is playing the pipa, singing in various styles.The sons and brothers who came to join us continued to applaud and applaud, and threw pieces of silver ingots to the feet of the other side.
"Luo Luo, why don't you sing another song? If you sing well, even if I spend all my money, I will—"
"Luo Luo also has this intention, but the time has come, I'm afraid I can't continue to sing for the young master."
That face stood up, bowed slightly, and left with light steps.The other faces who were crowded at the fence and watched also turned and walked into the inner room.
"What? It's only been half an hour, why didn't you sing?"
The young master who spoke just now was a little bit surprised, while the young man at the side looked him up and explained kindly: "Brother, is this your first time here? A few years ago, a nobleman took over Yangliu Residence. It will be cleared at Youshi, and it will be opened again at Xushi. We have long been used to it, anyway, we just have dinner at this time, and we will be back in an hour."
"What, isn't my money wasted? I knew it would be such a trouble, so I went to the opposite door to listen to Kunqu Opera."
"Hey, keep your voice down. The other party is Mr. Wen Judgment, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford to offend him."
"Hmph, isn't it just a civil judgment? What's so great about it?"
The young master cursed and cursed, but seeing that everyone else had left, he had no choice but to endure the resentment in his heart and left resentfully.
After the crowd dispersed, the face-to-face who sang the song just now twisted his waist and went upstairs, walking in front of the only guest.
"My lord, is it still the same tonight?"
"Well, it's work."
The sitting person responded, then turned his head and looked out the window.
"Okay, my lord, please wait a moment."
Luo Luo walked away in small steps, and after a while, he took a jug and two wine glasses and put them on the table lightly.
He glanced at the guest, and saw that the guest ignored him, so he retreated wisely.
"Forgetful Wine..."
Yue Han picked up the jug and filled the two wine glasses.
Downstairs, the sound of pipa came faintly again.The singer sang softly, with a low and hoarse voice, which made people feel jerky: "A jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows become three people—"
Yue closed her eyes and thought of the paper lanterns blowing in the wind in front of Shicai's courtyard.He squeezed the empty sachet at his waist, opened his eyes again, and looked at the empty seat across from him.
"Look, the wine is cold again."
He whispered, moved his fingertips to another sachet, and untied the string on it.
After the lock bag was opened, what appeared in Yue Huan's hand was a small porcelain jar.
He held the jar, gently placed it on the table, and placed the wine glass in front of the porcelain jar.
"If you don't come back, I won't be able to afford this wine."
Yue Han said to herself, picked up the wine glass, and poured it directly into her mouth.Feeling the bitter taste running through his throat, he couldn't help coughing, then filled the wine glass again, closed his eyes and downed it again.
"Now, I can at least drink three glasses with you. Don't you like wine the most? Why are you willing to let me drink alone..."
He opened his gradually hazy eyes, as if he saw himself three years ago.
After Hua Fan left, nothing was added to his two pamphlets.In contrast, there are still increasing water marks and wrinkles despite careful browsing.
His memory is not good, and he can recall many things by turning the pages like this.
He remembered what other people said, and what kind of expression he had, and handed the jar containing Tumi to himself.
He couldn't bear to expose those white lies, but he couldn't continue to live as if nothing had happened.
So, after suffering alone for half a year, he also went to find the Palace Mistress, and asked him seriously: "When I was in a coma, I had a nightmare... The content of the dream was related to this flower."
He spoke with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.His always dull eyes were filled with tears.
"That's not true...is it?"
At that time, the palace lord did not speak, but looked at him with pity, and then shook his head gently.
He is not a fool, so he naturally understands what that means - so that night, he skipped the night patrol in despair, rushed to Yangliu Residence to get himself drunk, and was dragged back to the palace by Xuehua for education.
Now, three years later, his alcohol intake has inexplicably improved, but the feeling of longing in his heart has not decreased but increased.
Yuehan thought vaguely, drank the last glass of wine, and then got up, ready to face another night of cold wind——
"Huh? It's just one night, how did you grow taller? Could it be that I used too much force?"
……
The familiar frivolous tone made Yuehan startled severely.
He withdrew his hand reaching for the porcelain pot, slowly raised his head, and met a pink figure...
"Tsk tsk, even though you're taller, you're still not as tall as me. Besides, this thin look still hasn't changed—hey, I'm just talking casually, why are you crying again?"
Yue Han rubbed her eyes, the corners of her lips trembled for a while, and suddenly she threw herself forward with all her might, and fell straight into the man's arms.
The wooden table shook, and the wine vessel on it fell to the ground, shattering a scent of wine.
The singing downstairs stopped abruptly, and only the sound of sobbing remained in the entire Yangliu House.
"Dumb?"
Hua Fan was a little overwhelmed, while Yue Han slowly raised her head, revealing the most brilliant and sincere smile she had ever seen in her life:
"Welcome back."
101. Part Three: Li Song
"Do you know that yin and yang are different, how can you and I walk together?"
……
In the end, he heard a long-lost familiar voice.
Suddenly, he saw two small figures, a man and a woman, one gray and one white.
They were wearing adults' robes, and each held a notebook in their hands, which was densely written with words.
The boy in white looked at him, with a little embarrassment and a trace of embarrassment on his delicate face: "Ah Cheng, it's your turn, read quickly."
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
The white silk around his neck was tense, taking away his voice and the remaining air.
He felt the sharp pain in his chest, and while thinking, he held back for a long time before he said the lines:
"I would like to take the body of a girl and serve the fairy all my life."
"No, okay, you read too rigidly, you need to show some emotion! Do you understand emotion?"
He saw the girl stomp her feet and pouted in dissatisfaction;
The boy beside him smiled dotingly, and reached out to pat the girl's head.
"Sisi, don't embarrass Ah Cheng. Let's go and eat."
"What—you always turn to him."
The girl complained, but didn't continue to lose her temper.Holding the script in one hand, and the long gray robe in the other, she ran excitedly into the house.
"Dinner—"
"Sisi, wait... oh."
The boy sighed helplessly, then shook his head and stepped towards him.
"Let's go, go back to my house first, and change these clothes."
"it is good."
He heard himself respond, and put his hand on the boy's.
Then he...
He closed his eyes and saw his light.
"Father."
Ning Cheng walked into the study room slowly, bowed respectfully, and then stood there silently as usual.
He watched his father holding a wolf brush, writing intently, every stroke with care, for fear of ruining the precious silk cloth.
……
After a long time, Ning Shan just put down his pen, looked at his own handwriting with satisfaction, then waved his sleeves, and said to Ning Cheng: "Cheng'er, from the beginning of next month, you can go to Lanyan Hall to practice."
"Lan Yantang?"
Ning Cheng was a little taken aback.He raised his eyes and said, "Father, that's not a high-ranking official or a son of a rich family, that's why..."
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged for my father. Over the years, I have managed the grain store and saved a lot of silver, which is enough for you to enter the Lanyan Hall."
Ning Shan interrupted, got up and walked to Ning Cheng, lovingly touching his little head.
"You have been smart since you were young, and you have a talent for magic. You shouldn't be buried here. I discussed with your mother. Even if you have to go bankrupt, you must ensure your future is bright. You, you must listen to your master and study hard. In the future A magic weapon craftsman, honor your ancestors well."
"I……"
"The Hualin family is not far behind. What Sulan lacks the most is a craftsman. Back then, I seized the opportunity and started from scratch to have the Ning's grain store today. As long as you are willing to study hard and work hard, you will surely be able to break through. Out of another sky."
"But, baby, don't—"
"Cheng'er is good. I spent a lot of effort for my father. I hope you will have a good life in the future. You are still young and don't understand anything. When you grow up, you will be grateful for everything your father has done for you."
Ning Shan patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to the desk to sit down.
"When you go to Lanyan Hall, remember to make good friends with the children of the family, it will be good for the future."
"I……"
Ning Cheng stood dumbfounded for a while, then said with difficulty: "But, Ayan and the others..."
"Yu Yan, Meng Si and the others, although they don't have the talent to practice magic, but they have the inheritance passed down from their ancestors, so naturally they don't have to worry about their future livelihood. Instead of wasting time messing around with them, why don't you focus on your studies?" .”
Ning Shan stared at his son's face and spoke earnestly.
"Your mother is not in good health and can no longer bear children. As the only child of the Ning family, you must always remember your responsibilities."
"Yes."
Ning Cheng responded in a low voice, and said, "Then, baby first... pack your bags and prepare for departure."
Hearing this, Ning Shan loosened his frowning brows, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay! Cheng'er is so sensible, so I don't have to worry about being a father. You clean up first, and tomorrow my father will take you shopping."
Ning Cheng lowered his head and pursed his lower lip almost invisibly.He raised his hand and bowed respectfully again: "Thank you father, my son will leave."
After finishing speaking, he slowly exited the study and slowly returned to his room.
Then, he slowly took out the half-written script and quickly tore it into pieces.
"Hey, it was agreed that you will treat the whole process, why didn't you bring enough money?"
"Sorry, but I really only have one copper plate left."
Ning Cheng looked at the menacing students around him, and felt apprehensive in his heart.
"Ha, he said he had no money."
The leading student sneered, and the rest of them chimed in angrily: "Isn't it? I just hired a meal, so I have no money?"
"What are you putting here? Everyone knows that your father gave up a lot of money to get you in."
"Really? But how did I hear that his father begged all the masters for a long time, and knelt down from house to house before he begged for this student quota?"
"Tsk tsk, why do you only listen to half of it? His father obviously knelt for a long time holding the silver, trying to talk—"
……
Ning Cheng's mind was in a mess, and he saw the rest of the people whispering to each other, then laughed loudly, and finally threw a few pieces of silver, leaving him in the teahouse.
Similar situations have been repeated many times and lasted for a long time. After a long time, Ning Cheng began to suspect that they just wanted to use this to make fun of themselves, and it was right to use it as a pastime.
He was a little reconciled, and comforted himself that it would be good to leave the teacher as soon as possible.However, Lan Yantang's master is full of snobbish eyes, and he is full of desire to get more oil from others, so how can he seriously guide him, the son of a small businessman with no background and no family background?
So later, even though he managed to learn some cooking skills and worked as a small helper in a teahouse, what he earned was more ridicule from the students and the copper coins that were looted.
Fortunately, even though Lan Yantang was careful and careful, he still provided meals for the students.
If it weren't for this, Ning Cheng couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would end up in.
Forget it, it's good to be able to live.
So, every late night, Ning Cheng would keep his eyes wide open and curl himself up under the blanket.
——If you encounter a bottleneck in learning, it is because you are not working hard enough.
I can't make friends because I'm too gloomy.
Go to sleep, go to sleep... Fear of the dark is just a hypocrisy.
sleep, sleep...
Only when you fall asleep can you leave here temporarily.
"One bows to heaven and earth, two bows to high halls, and three, husband and wife bow to each other!"
With the high-sounding libretto, another pair of Bi people got married.
The bridegroom's smile was a bit shy, and the bride next to him, after the ceremony officer finished speaking, eagerly lifted the red hijab, grabbed the hand of the person next to her with her backhand, and kissed on tiptoe.
"Oh--"
Several young masters clapped their hands and booed, and there was applause in an instant.
"Wow, sister Sisi is so beautiful!"
"Brother Yu, let's go first, so we won't delay you and sister-in-law's Spring Festival evening!"
The face of the groom's official turned into a ripe persimmon.He listened to the banter and applause from the guests, and secretly glanced at his father who was sitting in the master chair——
"Huh!"
Old Man Yu's face turned black with anger, but he was concerned about his family's face, so he just pursed his lips, and didn't make a sound to scold his daughter-in-law who had just passed the door.
Seeing this, the groom's eyes dodged, and then he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he took the bride into his arms, closed his eyes and kissed her.
"Groom officer, great job!"
The people watching the ceremony were either applauding or talking about the newcomers in front of the hall, all of them were full of smiles.
No one noticed that a figure quietly appeared at the door.The man was wearing a light blue student uniform, with a few drops of sweat on his face, and his body was shaking slightly due to panting.
He stared at the newlyweds who were hugging each other tightly, his eyes were blank for a moment.But soon, a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth, and the original lonely expression quickly changed into a festive one that was appropriate for the time.
He quietly walked to the corner of the room and sat in the most inconspicuous position.
"Hey, isn't this the Ning family's doll? I haven't seen her for a few years, and her appearance has changed a lot."
The aunt next to him stared at him for a long time, then patted his head, showing a sudden realization expression.
"Why, don't you recognize Aunt Yu? I served Mrs. Ning before, and I followed my old man a few years ago, and came to this Yu's house to help."
"Junior remember."
Ning Cheng whispered something, nodded slightly, and said, "Aunt Yu, long time no see, how are you?"
"Hey, those of us old people, we don't live in the next few years, so there is nothing to worry about."
Aunt Yu touched her weathered face and said with some emotion.She was immersed in her own memories, and finally came to her senses, and patted the other person's shoulder.
Ning Cheng trembled and couldn't help coughing.He moved his shoulders calmly and pulled down his sleeves to cover up the purple bruises.
"Mr. Ning, you are still young, so you won't understand. The master has had a hard time sending you to Lanyan Hall. In the future, you will be successful in your studies. Remember to honor the elders and don't let them worry about it anymore."
"Yes, the junior remembers."
"Remember, it's better to take it to heart. Back then, my son also said, "You must be filial to your mother", but later... Sigh. "
Aunt Yu was talking to herself, seeing the people around her nodding silently, smacking their lips in dissatisfaction, picked up a few side dishes and put them on the other's plate.
"Mr. Ning, don't think Aunt Yu is nagging. You have been so gloomy since you were a child. Could it be that you have to look bitter even at the wedding banquet of your old friends?"
"I……"
Ning Cheng paused unnaturally, then smiled: "I'm sorry, this junior came here just now, and I'm really tired."
"Hey, okay, let's eat something."
Aunt Yu didn't make things difficult for him, she turned around and went to chat with her wife.
Ning Cheng stared at the plate in front of him, he had no appetite to eat chopsticks at all.As soon as he was in a daze for a while, the old man sitting on the right looked over with drunken eyes, and "cracked" the wine glass in his hand.
"Okay, okay. Hey, what did you talk about yesterday?"
Yue Han stood in front of the courtyard, looking at the figure reflected on the paper lattice door.Those figures swayed with the wind, and they overlapped with the other people unconsciously...
Seven years ago, when he had just turned thirteen, he was appointed as the moon judge, and in his own body, he undertook the duty of day and night patrol.
At first, he was not familiar with the streets in the city, and only knew how to walk around, but after a long time of exploration, he gradually got used to it—and this was not entirely a good thing.
"East of the city, three miles north of Pinminglou..."
That night, Yue Han finally couldn't help it, and followed the route in his memory to a courtyard.
However, when he hesitated for a long time and finally decided to knock on the door, he heard an exclamation directly:
"Ghost - there is a ghost!"
Mother?
Yue Huan's heart trembled, and she turned her head with joy, only to see the screen window closing with a "bang" in front of her eyes, and even the fork of the window fell to the ground, rolling away.
He raised his head in a daze, but saw that the room was flickering, and the figure reflected on the door was also shaking: "What are you yelling about? Where did the ghost come from?"
"Master, I, I just saw, saw Xu'er..."
"What nonsense are you talking about at night? That little monster died a few years ago, how could it appear here?"
"Precisely because of this, it is even more terrifying! Tell me, he came here to claim his life..."
The woman's voice was trembling, while the man smacked his lips impatiently, and said, "You must be tired from weaving, have you missed it? I've been busy all day, and I don't have the time to mess around with you."
"No, that's definitely Xu'er..."
"Okay, if you keep arguing, Heng'er will wake up."
With a creak, the window opened again, revealing a man's head.He looked around for a while, shrank his head, and closed the window again.
"Just say you read it wrong, right? It's the middle of the night, who can be there?"
"But, but, maybe it's not a human..."
The voices in the room fell silent, and after a while, a man's voice came out: "I'm going to move in three days, so don't make a fuss at this juncture. By the way, have you confirmed with your cousin? Over there in Yijia Country, Is it really better than Sulan?"
"This... Anyway, Heng'er doesn't have any talent for conjuration, so if he stays in Sulan, he will never see his day..."
"Hey, then you should inquire quickly. It's not so easy to come back after leaving the city."
"it is good."
The voices of people in the room gradually died down, and Yue Han, who was hiding behind the tree, slowly walked out of the shadow.
He didn't know why he wanted to hide, but he did so subconsciously.
"Father...mother..."
Yuehan shouted in a daze, but her voice was so small that it was barely audible.
"Xu'er... is here."
Looking at the suddenly dark room, he seemed to taste the bitter loess in his mouth.
"Cuckoo..."
A bird's song came from the sky, waking Yuehan from his thoughts.He glanced at the dim wooden house, took a few steps back, turned around and ran back.
"You monster, let's see how I beat you to death!!"
A curse came from next to his ear, as clear as before.
Yue Han stumbled and fell against the wall of the laneway.He closed his eyes, trying to dispel the memories in his mind, but it became clearer——
He remembered that when he was not good that day, he secretly hugged his younger brother, and after being punished by his father, he half-delayed and left the door.
"Father...Xu'er is so dizzy..."
The sun was shining brightly that day.Dad grabbed his arm and led him away for a long time.
"Don't worry, you won't be dizzy in a while."
He remembered that when Dad said this, he had a smile on his face.
"Xu'er, I've told you not to touch my younger brother--you're disobedient, so Father hit harder. In fact, Father himself felt uncomfortable beating you, so he took Xu'er out to relax, It's compensation."
"Let's relax..."
Yue Han walked in a daze, although her body was in severe pain, a trace of joy floated in her heart.
——It’s rare to have the opportunity to go out, this discomfort, just bear it.
He thought so.So when Father took him into the forest and let him jump into the dug hole, he did so without hesitation.
"Father, staying in this cave, I really don't feel so dizzy!"
He touched the wet soil around him and waved his arms excitedly.
"Look, Dad didn't lie to you, did he?"
A head protruded above the pothole, and the backlit face made it hard to see the expression.
"You stay here, daddy is going to buy candy for you, and I'll be back later."
"Okay! Thank you Dad!"
Yuehan thanked happily, and then sat down at the bottom of the pit.He took the thin grass on the side and turned it lightly, and picked up a few stones to play with.
"Father is so slow..."
He waited for a long time, and fell asleep unconsciously. It was not until the rain hit his body that he woke up from the cold.
"Father, where are you?"
Looking at the darkness, Yue Han couldn't help feeling a little scared.
The wet and cold rain kept falling, and the surrounding soil became sticky and slippery.
"Daddy?"
When the muddy water began to flood his calf, his survival instinct made him start to crazily grab the cave wall and shouted loudly.
"Father, Xu'er knows I'm wrong... Please pull me out, will you?"
The only response to him was torrential rain and the rolling loess.The clammy air invaded the lungs, and the smell of earth filled the nostrils——
A piece of adobe collapsed, pressing Yueyin into the muddy water.
"Cough, cough!"
Struggling in the mud, he managed to poke his head out, only to be submerged again by the freshly fallen sand.
This went on and on several times, and when he was finally exhausted and about to give up—the rain stopped.
"sun……"
It was the first time for the moon, so I hope to see the sun.
Under the sunshine, the rain slowly receded.The mud under his feet also slowly condensed into loess lumps.
"Father..."
Yuehan yelled in a daze, feeling pain everywhere in her body, and her throat hurt like a fire.
He stood up staggeringly, stretched out his hand to grab the protruding stones beside him, stepped on the loess under his feet, and tried his best to climb up.
After he finally walked out of the pothole and climbed under the shade of the tree with the remaining will, he completely lost consciousness.
This land is too unfamiliar to Yue Han who hasn't been out for a long time.He circled in the mountains, quickly lost his sense of direction, and only relied on his survival instinct to pick some bark and wild fruits to eat.
He found a stream, washed the dirt off his body, and then stared at the reflection on the water, thinking that he might as well not wash.
"monster……"
He looked at himself reflected in the water——silver hair, purple pupils, white and thin face, completely different from ordinary people.
"monster……"
He murmured, took a step back, picked up a stone, and threw it forward.
"Go away!!"
The stream was stirred up into a splash, and then shook out circles of ripples.
Looking at the water waves, Yuehan walked slowly to the stream and knelt down.Holding his breath, he bent down slowly, but only saw the white shadow broken into several pieces, each of which reflected ugly purple eyes.
"Do not……"
He pressed the ground back a few steps, then stood up abruptly, and ran back frantically.
Dad, mother, brother...
Why... only me, a monster?
As he ran, he felt his head was in a mess, and his body couldn't help being stabbed—but what did it matter?
If I was born and destined to be rejected by others, then...
The author has something to say:
The hair color (ochre) that Yue Kuan imagined later was the color of his younger brother's fetal hair that he saw last.
100. Chapter [-]: Peach's Yaoyao
"You are...Xiaoyuepan? What are you doing here?"
The sudden human voice startled Yue Han.He wiped his eyes with his hand, took a step back, and bowed to the person who came:
"Flower judgment is good for seniors."
"Wow, this name is really new-although you are younger than me, you don't want to call me that old."
Hearing this, Yue Han froze for a moment, then raised her head to look at the smiling person in front of her.
"Senior...does it sound old?"
"Of course. Think of me as a beautiful young man in the blooming season. If I am called by seniors long and short, what a bargain! You should follow Brother Hua and call me Huafan, or remove the word "senior" from the back and call me Huafan." I'll just pay the judgment. "
"Okay, sorry."
Yue Han didn't know how to respond, so she had to choose to apologize.But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man pressing his forehead, with a sad and troubled expression on his face:
"Hey, why is he a serious guy again—forget it, what's your name?"
He jumped up the topic very quickly, Yue An was slightly startled, and then replied: "Huapan, my name is Yue An."
"Yue, mute, um, what a good name."
Hua Fan rolled her eyes and said, "However, you and I are regarded as equals, so don't use those boring etiquette titles anymore—hey, what's wrong with you?"
Yue Han was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she didn't know when she shed tears.He wiped away the tears in embarrassment, and said, "Sorry, it's too windy here."
Hua Fan glanced at the courtyard in the distance, then smirked, and said, "That's right. You are so small, so you are naturally weaker."
Moon was silent.
In order not to contradict his senior, he carefully picked a topic to respond: "Hua Pan, I'm not called Hanan..."
"Ah? I know, this is just a way to shorten the distance between people. It's like I call Xuehua Brother Hua, and he occasionally calls me crazy, haha."
Moonlight fell silent again.He looked at the cheerful person in front of him, thinking about the possibility that the other person was mentally ill.
"Okay, since it's very windy here, let's take shelter from the wind."
As Hua Fan said, she directly took Yue Han's hand, and was about to walk forward.
Yue Han felt a strange touch coming from the palm of his hand, and was taken aback, and immediately flicked it vigorously, and slapped the opponent's hand away.
After he realized what he had done, he was flustered and apologized hastily.
"Sorry, I……"
"it hurts."
Hua Fan touched her hand with an aggrieved expression on her face: "Silence, why are you so cruel——"
"Sorry, I was wrong. If you are angry, you can punch me a few times."
Yue Han thought about the way to deal with Father in the past, and closed her eyes passively.
Suddenly, warmth came from the palm of my hand again;
And the body was pulled hard, and it left the ground in an instant.
Yuehan opened her eyes in horror, only to see Huafan smiling and pulling her, floating in the silvery moonlight.
"It's fine to apologize. Since you feel guilty, you can have dinner with me."
"But, but, I still have to watch at night..."
"Is this important? Eating is more important than the sky. If you refuse to accompany me, I will not forgive you."
Before Yue Han could think of a way to refute, she was pulled by Hua Fan and flew straight to the bustling street.
After that day, Hua Fan used all kinds of excuses to stop the person who set out for the night patrol, and then stalked him for dinner.
"Hua Pan, I can no longer neglect my duties."
"What are you afraid of, your magic weapon is very fine, just let it wander around the city by itself."
"Can……"
"Okay, so what are you doing seriously? You have to enjoy life to the fullest. If the Palace Master blames you, I will help you."
From Yuehan's point of view, it is a serious problem, but when it comes to Huafan, it is only an understatement, not worth mentioning.
He can go to the right hall to look for people on a whim, just to let Yue Kuan take a look at the new sprouts, or admire the Hongqiao in the sky.
For example, on this day, after the silent night patrol, he was woken up by someone not long after he rested.
"Duh, hurry up, something big happened outside the palace!"
"what happened?"
"I can't explain clearly in a few words. You wash and change clothes quickly, and see you at the gate of the palace later."
"Ah."
Yuehan rubbed her red eyes, left the bed where she had just been lying down for a while, cleaned herself up as quickly as possible, and then went to the gate of the palace.
However, after Huafan eagerly dragged him to take off, the last place he arrived at was the Pinminglou in the east of the city.
"This is... the big thing you're talking about?"
Yue Han sat in the teahouse full of people, looked at the elegant tea-sipping person opposite, and once again had the cognition of "this person is an asshole".
"That's right. After half a year, Pinminglou finally launched new pastries! If I hadn't made an agreement with the shopkeeper in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this teahouse after waiting half a day!"
For the eighteenth time this month, Yue Han, who was dragged out of bed by someone, silently thought about the contents of today's black book.
Perhaps out of concern, the palace lord once gave Yueyin two booklets, asking him to record anecdotes about life so that he could have an outlet for his suppressed emotions.
Although this move was well-intentioned, Yue Mu only repeated between night patrols and rest, and every day was the same, so he really couldn't think of anything to write about.
And ever since I got to know Hua Fan, that black and white brochure began to come into play.I just don't know if this is luck or misfortune.
"Hey, don't you want to eat?"
"Sorry, I have no appetite."
Yue huddled in the shadows in the corner of the wall, trying to fight against the gradually rising sleepiness.
The person in front of him raised his eyebrows, then stood up suddenly, and stuffed a piece of emerald green pastry into his mouth.
"Well……"
Yue Mu felt that her mouth was overflowing with fragrance, and her drowsiness dissipated a lot immediately.He swallowed the pastry, then looked at the man who was smiling and said, "Hua Pan, you—"
"What, isn't it delicious? I remember you like the fragrance of wormwood, and if you want to make it into a pastry, it will also suit your taste."
"I……"
Yue Wei was startled for a while, before she could respond, another piece was stuffed in her mouth.
"This mugwort cake has a thin skin and lots of fillings, and the bean paste inside is soft and glutinous. It's delicious."
Hua Fan said with a smile, she also ate a piece, and then showed a satisfied smile.
"Hey, don't you really like it? If you don't eat it, I'll pay for it all?"
"like."
Yuehan lowered her head and chewed quietly.
"It's good if you like it. It's worth it. I begged Shopkeeper Luo for half a month—how is it? Are you very touched?"
"Hmm. Thank you."
Yue Han thanked him honestly, while Hua Fan beamed with joy and smiled brightly: "Mu Han, close your eyes."
Although Yue Han had doubts in her heart, she still obediently complied.
He felt Hua Fan walk behind him all at once, stroked his neck with both hands, and pulled up the drooping hair.
"With your long hair hanging around, it's very inconvenient to move around. Why don't you tie it up high and look more refreshed."
Yue Huan opened her eyes, only to feel a slight chill on the back of her neck, she was really not used to it.He stretched out his hand to reach back, and just as he touched the edge of the hair tie, he was caught by another hand.
"I heard from Brother Hua that there have been rumors of ocher-haired ghosts circulating in the city recently. If you don't want to be misunderstood again, just accept it obediently."
Yue Han was silent for a long time, and said: "Hua Pan, do you always meddle in other people's business like this?"
"Well... not really. You called me senior, I should take care of you more, shouldn't I?"
"Then, if you compare me with Senior Xuehua, then..."
"Stupid boy, what do you compare with him? Brother Hua is so big, why do I need to worry about it? Even so, there is still a need to worry about it, haha."
Yue Huan looked at the man who was laughing heartlessly, and fell into speechlessness again.
"Okay, it's time for me to patrol the city. Do you want to go back by yourself, or should I give you a ride?"
Hua Fan put a few pieces of silver on the side of the table, then stretched comfortably, got up and asked.
"It's important to patrol the city, I can go back by myself."
"Okay, then..."
"Flowers."
Yuehan interrupted, stood up and walked to Huafan.
"I'm-wait a minute, why did you suddenly call my name? It's scary."
Hua Fan patted his heart and said, "What's the matter? If you have any request, just say it boldly. Even if I can't do it, I can leave it to Brother Hua to do it."
Yuehan raised her head, stood on tiptoes, looked at the person who was still half a head taller than herself, and said word by word: "I will work hard."
"What? It's just going back to the palace. If it doesn't work, I can send you back."
"That's not what I meant...forget it."
Yue Han pursed her lips and said, "I'm going back first, see you at dinner time."
"Huh? Didn't you refuse a long time ago..."
"I've changed my mind. That's it."
This time, it was Hua Fan's turn to be speechless.He looked at the person running downstairs quickly, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "This kid, doesn't he want to learn from Brother Hua? I've worked so hard, why haven't I straightened him..."
He was talking to himself, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the sunlight outside the window, and his mood improved again.
"Forget it, the sun is shining today, just right for going out for a walk."
So, with brisk steps, he stepped out of the teahouse happily to welcome the enthusiastic people.
"Anyway, the days are still long. First of all, where should I take Hanan tonight..."
"To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest, don't let the gold gourd face the moon."
"it is good!"
Inside the Yangliu residence, a person is playing the pipa, singing in various styles.The sons and brothers who came to join us continued to applaud and applaud, and threw pieces of silver ingots to the feet of the other side.
"Luo Luo, why don't you sing another song? If you sing well, even if I spend all my money, I will—"
"Luo Luo also has this intention, but the time has come, I'm afraid I can't continue to sing for the young master."
That face stood up, bowed slightly, and left with light steps.The other faces who were crowded at the fence and watched also turned and walked into the inner room.
"What? It's only been half an hour, why didn't you sing?"
The young master who spoke just now was a little bit surprised, while the young man at the side looked him up and explained kindly: "Brother, is this your first time here? A few years ago, a nobleman took over Yangliu Residence. It will be cleared at Youshi, and it will be opened again at Xushi. We have long been used to it, anyway, we just have dinner at this time, and we will be back in an hour."
"What, isn't my money wasted? I knew it would be such a trouble, so I went to the opposite door to listen to Kunqu Opera."
"Hey, keep your voice down. The other party is Mr. Wen Judgment, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford to offend him."
"Hmph, isn't it just a civil judgment? What's so great about it?"
The young master cursed and cursed, but seeing that everyone else had left, he had no choice but to endure the resentment in his heart and left resentfully.
After the crowd dispersed, the face-to-face who sang the song just now twisted his waist and went upstairs, walking in front of the only guest.
"My lord, is it still the same tonight?"
"Well, it's work."
The sitting person responded, then turned his head and looked out the window.
"Okay, my lord, please wait a moment."
Luo Luo walked away in small steps, and after a while, he took a jug and two wine glasses and put them on the table lightly.
He glanced at the guest, and saw that the guest ignored him, so he retreated wisely.
"Forgetful Wine..."
Yue Han picked up the jug and filled the two wine glasses.
Downstairs, the sound of pipa came faintly again.The singer sang softly, with a low and hoarse voice, which made people feel jerky: "A jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows become three people—"
Yue closed her eyes and thought of the paper lanterns blowing in the wind in front of Shicai's courtyard.He squeezed the empty sachet at his waist, opened his eyes again, and looked at the empty seat across from him.
"Look, the wine is cold again."
He whispered, moved his fingertips to another sachet, and untied the string on it.
After the lock bag was opened, what appeared in Yue Huan's hand was a small porcelain jar.
He held the jar, gently placed it on the table, and placed the wine glass in front of the porcelain jar.
"If you don't come back, I won't be able to afford this wine."
Yue Han said to herself, picked up the wine glass, and poured it directly into her mouth.Feeling the bitter taste running through his throat, he couldn't help coughing, then filled the wine glass again, closed his eyes and downed it again.
"Now, I can at least drink three glasses with you. Don't you like wine the most? Why are you willing to let me drink alone..."
He opened his gradually hazy eyes, as if he saw himself three years ago.
After Hua Fan left, nothing was added to his two pamphlets.In contrast, there are still increasing water marks and wrinkles despite careful browsing.
His memory is not good, and he can recall many things by turning the pages like this.
He remembered what other people said, and what kind of expression he had, and handed the jar containing Tumi to himself.
He couldn't bear to expose those white lies, but he couldn't continue to live as if nothing had happened.
So, after suffering alone for half a year, he also went to find the Palace Mistress, and asked him seriously: "When I was in a coma, I had a nightmare... The content of the dream was related to this flower."
He spoke with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.His always dull eyes were filled with tears.
"That's not true...is it?"
At that time, the palace lord did not speak, but looked at him with pity, and then shook his head gently.
He is not a fool, so he naturally understands what that means - so that night, he skipped the night patrol in despair, rushed to Yangliu Residence to get himself drunk, and was dragged back to the palace by Xuehua for education.
Now, three years later, his alcohol intake has inexplicably improved, but the feeling of longing in his heart has not decreased but increased.
Yuehan thought vaguely, drank the last glass of wine, and then got up, ready to face another night of cold wind——
"Huh? It's just one night, how did you grow taller? Could it be that I used too much force?"
……
The familiar frivolous tone made Yuehan startled severely.
He withdrew his hand reaching for the porcelain pot, slowly raised his head, and met a pink figure...
"Tsk tsk, even though you're taller, you're still not as tall as me. Besides, this thin look still hasn't changed—hey, I'm just talking casually, why are you crying again?"
Yue Han rubbed her eyes, the corners of her lips trembled for a while, and suddenly she threw herself forward with all her might, and fell straight into the man's arms.
The wooden table shook, and the wine vessel on it fell to the ground, shattering a scent of wine.
The singing downstairs stopped abruptly, and only the sound of sobbing remained in the entire Yangliu House.
"Dumb?"
Hua Fan was a little overwhelmed, while Yue Han slowly raised her head, revealing the most brilliant and sincere smile she had ever seen in her life:
"Welcome back."
101. Part Three: Li Song
"Do you know that yin and yang are different, how can you and I walk together?"
……
In the end, he heard a long-lost familiar voice.
Suddenly, he saw two small figures, a man and a woman, one gray and one white.
They were wearing adults' robes, and each held a notebook in their hands, which was densely written with words.
The boy in white looked at him, with a little embarrassment and a trace of embarrassment on his delicate face: "Ah Cheng, it's your turn, read quickly."
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
The white silk around his neck was tense, taking away his voice and the remaining air.
He felt the sharp pain in his chest, and while thinking, he held back for a long time before he said the lines:
"I would like to take the body of a girl and serve the fairy all my life."
"No, okay, you read too rigidly, you need to show some emotion! Do you understand emotion?"
He saw the girl stomp her feet and pouted in dissatisfaction;
The boy beside him smiled dotingly, and reached out to pat the girl's head.
"Sisi, don't embarrass Ah Cheng. Let's go and eat."
"What—you always turn to him."
The girl complained, but didn't continue to lose her temper.Holding the script in one hand, and the long gray robe in the other, she ran excitedly into the house.
"Dinner—"
"Sisi, wait... oh."
The boy sighed helplessly, then shook his head and stepped towards him.
"Let's go, go back to my house first, and change these clothes."
"it is good."
He heard himself respond, and put his hand on the boy's.
Then he...
He closed his eyes and saw his light.
"Father."
Ning Cheng walked into the study room slowly, bowed respectfully, and then stood there silently as usual.
He watched his father holding a wolf brush, writing intently, every stroke with care, for fear of ruining the precious silk cloth.
……
After a long time, Ning Shan just put down his pen, looked at his own handwriting with satisfaction, then waved his sleeves, and said to Ning Cheng: "Cheng'er, from the beginning of next month, you can go to Lanyan Hall to practice."
"Lan Yantang?"
Ning Cheng was a little taken aback.He raised his eyes and said, "Father, that's not a high-ranking official or a son of a rich family, that's why..."
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged for my father. Over the years, I have managed the grain store and saved a lot of silver, which is enough for you to enter the Lanyan Hall."
Ning Shan interrupted, got up and walked to Ning Cheng, lovingly touching his little head.
"You have been smart since you were young, and you have a talent for magic. You shouldn't be buried here. I discussed with your mother. Even if you have to go bankrupt, you must ensure your future is bright. You, you must listen to your master and study hard. In the future A magic weapon craftsman, honor your ancestors well."
"I……"
"The Hualin family is not far behind. What Sulan lacks the most is a craftsman. Back then, I seized the opportunity and started from scratch to have the Ning's grain store today. As long as you are willing to study hard and work hard, you will surely be able to break through. Out of another sky."
"But, baby, don't—"
"Cheng'er is good. I spent a lot of effort for my father. I hope you will have a good life in the future. You are still young and don't understand anything. When you grow up, you will be grateful for everything your father has done for you."
Ning Shan patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to the desk to sit down.
"When you go to Lanyan Hall, remember to make good friends with the children of the family, it will be good for the future."
"I……"
Ning Cheng stood dumbfounded for a while, then said with difficulty: "But, Ayan and the others..."
"Yu Yan, Meng Si and the others, although they don't have the talent to practice magic, but they have the inheritance passed down from their ancestors, so naturally they don't have to worry about their future livelihood. Instead of wasting time messing around with them, why don't you focus on your studies?" .”
Ning Shan stared at his son's face and spoke earnestly.
"Your mother is not in good health and can no longer bear children. As the only child of the Ning family, you must always remember your responsibilities."
"Yes."
Ning Cheng responded in a low voice, and said, "Then, baby first... pack your bags and prepare for departure."
Hearing this, Ning Shan loosened his frowning brows, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay! Cheng'er is so sensible, so I don't have to worry about being a father. You clean up first, and tomorrow my father will take you shopping."
Ning Cheng lowered his head and pursed his lower lip almost invisibly.He raised his hand and bowed respectfully again: "Thank you father, my son will leave."
After finishing speaking, he slowly exited the study and slowly returned to his room.
Then, he slowly took out the half-written script and quickly tore it into pieces.
"Hey, it was agreed that you will treat the whole process, why didn't you bring enough money?"
"Sorry, but I really only have one copper plate left."
Ning Cheng looked at the menacing students around him, and felt apprehensive in his heart.
"Ha, he said he had no money."
The leading student sneered, and the rest of them chimed in angrily: "Isn't it? I just hired a meal, so I have no money?"
"What are you putting here? Everyone knows that your father gave up a lot of money to get you in."
"Really? But how did I hear that his father begged all the masters for a long time, and knelt down from house to house before he begged for this student quota?"
"Tsk tsk, why do you only listen to half of it? His father obviously knelt for a long time holding the silver, trying to talk—"
……
Ning Cheng's mind was in a mess, and he saw the rest of the people whispering to each other, then laughed loudly, and finally threw a few pieces of silver, leaving him in the teahouse.
Similar situations have been repeated many times and lasted for a long time. After a long time, Ning Cheng began to suspect that they just wanted to use this to make fun of themselves, and it was right to use it as a pastime.
He was a little reconciled, and comforted himself that it would be good to leave the teacher as soon as possible.However, Lan Yantang's master is full of snobbish eyes, and he is full of desire to get more oil from others, so how can he seriously guide him, the son of a small businessman with no background and no family background?
So later, even though he managed to learn some cooking skills and worked as a small helper in a teahouse, what he earned was more ridicule from the students and the copper coins that were looted.
Fortunately, even though Lan Yantang was careful and careful, he still provided meals for the students.
If it weren't for this, Ning Cheng couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would end up in.
Forget it, it's good to be able to live.
So, every late night, Ning Cheng would keep his eyes wide open and curl himself up under the blanket.
——If you encounter a bottleneck in learning, it is because you are not working hard enough.
I can't make friends because I'm too gloomy.
Go to sleep, go to sleep... Fear of the dark is just a hypocrisy.
sleep, sleep...
Only when you fall asleep can you leave here temporarily.
"One bows to heaven and earth, two bows to high halls, and three, husband and wife bow to each other!"
With the high-sounding libretto, another pair of Bi people got married.
The bridegroom's smile was a bit shy, and the bride next to him, after the ceremony officer finished speaking, eagerly lifted the red hijab, grabbed the hand of the person next to her with her backhand, and kissed on tiptoe.
"Oh--"
Several young masters clapped their hands and booed, and there was applause in an instant.
"Wow, sister Sisi is so beautiful!"
"Brother Yu, let's go first, so we won't delay you and sister-in-law's Spring Festival evening!"
The face of the groom's official turned into a ripe persimmon.He listened to the banter and applause from the guests, and secretly glanced at his father who was sitting in the master chair——
"Huh!"
Old Man Yu's face turned black with anger, but he was concerned about his family's face, so he just pursed his lips, and didn't make a sound to scold his daughter-in-law who had just passed the door.
Seeing this, the groom's eyes dodged, and then he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he took the bride into his arms, closed his eyes and kissed her.
"Groom officer, great job!"
The people watching the ceremony were either applauding or talking about the newcomers in front of the hall, all of them were full of smiles.
No one noticed that a figure quietly appeared at the door.The man was wearing a light blue student uniform, with a few drops of sweat on his face, and his body was shaking slightly due to panting.
He stared at the newlyweds who were hugging each other tightly, his eyes were blank for a moment.But soon, a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth, and the original lonely expression quickly changed into a festive one that was appropriate for the time.
He quietly walked to the corner of the room and sat in the most inconspicuous position.
"Hey, isn't this the Ning family's doll? I haven't seen her for a few years, and her appearance has changed a lot."
The aunt next to him stared at him for a long time, then patted his head, showing a sudden realization expression.
"Why, don't you recognize Aunt Yu? I served Mrs. Ning before, and I followed my old man a few years ago, and came to this Yu's house to help."
"Junior remember."
Ning Cheng whispered something, nodded slightly, and said, "Aunt Yu, long time no see, how are you?"
"Hey, those of us old people, we don't live in the next few years, so there is nothing to worry about."
Aunt Yu touched her weathered face and said with some emotion.She was immersed in her own memories, and finally came to her senses, and patted the other person's shoulder.
Ning Cheng trembled and couldn't help coughing.He moved his shoulders calmly and pulled down his sleeves to cover up the purple bruises.
"Mr. Ning, you are still young, so you won't understand. The master has had a hard time sending you to Lanyan Hall. In the future, you will be successful in your studies. Remember to honor the elders and don't let them worry about it anymore."
"Yes, the junior remembers."
"Remember, it's better to take it to heart. Back then, my son also said, "You must be filial to your mother", but later... Sigh. "
Aunt Yu was talking to herself, seeing the people around her nodding silently, smacking their lips in dissatisfaction, picked up a few side dishes and put them on the other's plate.
"Mr. Ning, don't think Aunt Yu is nagging. You have been so gloomy since you were a child. Could it be that you have to look bitter even at the wedding banquet of your old friends?"
"I……"
Ning Cheng paused unnaturally, then smiled: "I'm sorry, this junior came here just now, and I'm really tired."
"Hey, okay, let's eat something."
Aunt Yu didn't make things difficult for him, she turned around and went to chat with her wife.
Ning Cheng stared at the plate in front of him, he had no appetite to eat chopsticks at all.As soon as he was in a daze for a while, the old man sitting on the right looked over with drunken eyes, and "cracked" the wine glass in his hand.
