comeback [rebirth]

This jade pendant is not the one left by Yan Xuan's mother at all, but carved by Yan Xuan himself.

Cen Yuan stroked the surface of the jade pendant over and over again, and could almost imagine Yan Xuan sitting cross-legged by the desk, holding a carving knife and such a small jade pendant inexperiencedly under the flickering candle light, and scribbling on it. A picture of the appearance when these two words were engraved.

Patient and reverent.

At this moment, when the screen changed, Cen Yuan suddenly thought of another question——

When did Yan Xuan change the jade pendant?Was it after the frank meeting after coming out of Qingbao Tower that day?

This is not impossible, after all, Yan Xuan wakes up earlier than him every morning, and it is the same the next day, not to mention that he was drunk and fell asleep until the sun was up.

It would be easy for him to secretly change the jade pendant before he woke up, and he would not stare at the jade pendant every day when he was free, so it was indeed difficult to notice such subtle changes on the jade pendant.

What if it wasn't that day?

If we go back in time—when did Yan Xuan change his position?

... When was the jade pendant carved?

Meyena called "Mr. Yuan" several times, and seeing that the other party hadn't responded, she knocked on him twice with a chin crow: "Hello!"

Cen Yuan woke up like a dream, and suddenly withdrew his gaze from the jade pendant, and looked up at the other party in a daze: "What?"

"What'what'." Meyerna muttered, just in time to catch a glimpse of the unused hangover tea on the table, and pushed the teacup to the opposite side, "I think you are the one who wants to drink this tea, right?"

Cen Yuan: "..."

He pressed his temples, put away the jade pendant, and returned the handkerchief to the other party.

"Thank you."

Meyerna waved her hand: "Thank you, it's just a matter of little effort."

But Cen Yuan solemnly said again: "Thank you."

On the other hand, Meyerna was stunned by his "thank you", and she was a little embarrassed, but then she said, "Don't just say thank you verbally, there should be some practical expression."

Cen Yuan signaled her to say, but an idea popped up in his mind for no reason, and his forehead twitched twice.

As he expected, Meyerna's eyes narrowed, she leaned forward, and said with a look of whispering: "When Yuan Lang's birthday, if you want to celebrate him, bring me one?"

Cen Yuan: "..."

He indifferently pushed the cup of hangover tea back in front of the other party, and glanced at the teacup as a signal, as if to say: I think you are drunk and confused, and you only talk about whimsical things, drink the tea quickly Wake up to the bar.

Immediately afterwards, he drank the tea in his teacup, got up and called Xiao Er: "Leave a pot of peach wine for this girl, and send it to her room at night, so that she can have a good dream."

After finishing speaking, Meyenna burst out laughing suddenly, which immediately attracted the eyes of several people around her.Cen Yuan left her a goodbye, went to the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and left Nanxi Restaurant as if fleeing.

·

Thanks to the King of Chu, there are many musical instrument shops in Danlin County, and some of them collect some unique ethnic musical instruments.Cen Yuan searched and inquired, but he actually found a musical instrument shop selling qinwu at the end of the alley—it is said that the shopkeeper bought two of them because he saw strange ones when he was traveling.

After buying Qinwu, Cen Yuan has very little silver left.Immediately afterwards, he went to pick another piece of high-quality white jade, took the clothes left in the tailor shop last night, spent almost all his property, and then went to Xianyun Mansion.

When Uncle Zhang opened the door and saw that Cen Yuan was alone, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Master Cen alone?"

"Yes." Cen Yuan walked into the mansion, "But there should be guests coming these few days, Uncle Zhang, I have to trouble you to find two more maids temporarily."

"My lord, you must not be polite," Uncle Zhang panicked, "If you have anything else to ask, just tell me, this old servant will definitely do my best."

"It's not that exaggerated." Cen Yuan laughed, "Just prepare some drinks."

"Yes."

After a few days, Zhang Bo and several newly recruited servants have cleaned the Xianyun Mansion up and down, and bought some new furniture. The whole mansion has a new look and is so clean that it can be moved in at any time.

Cen Yuan sighed in admiration, walked towards the front hall, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "By the way, Uncle Zhang, please don't tell Yan Xuan what I've been doing here these two days."

Uncle Zhang had doubts for a moment, but he didn't show it, and immediately said "yes".

In fact, even if Cen Yuan didn't say anything, he didn't have the thought to "complain" to Yan Xuan.

Cen Yuan nodded, then stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, stopped to think for a moment: "And..."

"Sir, please speak."

Cen Yuan turned to him, eyes slightly downcast, still thinking, and asked, "Do you know of any way to get money faster?"

·

For several days in a row, after Cen Yuan and Yan Xuan finished their breakfast together, they left Changyou Mansion together, one went to the outskirts of the military camp, the other went to Xianyun Mansion, and returned to the mansion for dinner at Xushi, so peaceful and comfortable. It seems that the situation is over, and they have settled down in Danlin.

Until one day, the night fell and the moon hung high.

After Yan Xuan returned to the mansion, he didn't see the person who had been waiting for him in the yard all the time, and before he could ask, he happened to hear Uncle Liu call to stop him: "Lord Yan."

"Uncle Liu." Yan Xuan asked, "He hasn't returned yet?"

It is self-evident who this "he" refers to. Uncle Liu immediately said: "This old slave is just going to talk to you about this matter. Your Highness said that he is waiting for you in the boat with the number 25 at the pier and asked you to go directly to the boat." Boat."

"..." After Yan Xuan finished listening, there was no obvious doubt or puzzlement on his face, and he only responded, "Got it."

Since there was no accident, and the current development did not deviate from his expectations, Yan Xuan thought for a while, then turned his steps, and in a strange way, he took back the steps of going out, went back to the bathroom to wash away the dust of the day, and changed into a clean set. Clothes—the clothes were one of the silver silk white shirts that Cen Yuan brought back from the tailor shop a few days ago.

After tidying herself up, Yan Xuan didn't ride a horse, thinking about the distance between the pier and Changyou Mansion, she asked the servants in the mansion to take her to the pier.

Following the driver's shout, the carriage swayed, and Yan Xuan inadvertently fiddled with the spike of Mingyu Sword, with a smile on his face that he didn't realize.

With Yan Xuan's ability, if he couldn't guess what His Highness was doing these days, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

——Today is the eighth day of October, his birthday.

A long time ago, when his memory was immature and missing a piece here and there, he never celebrated his birthday for himself.

After all, at that time, his mother died young, and he himself was more or less influenced by the gossip in the market, always thinking that his birthday was a cursed day and not worth celebrating.

On the other hand, his father is a rough and nervous military general, he is busy with duties, and it is normal to leave early and return late. Only after being reminded by the housekeeper, did he remember that his son is going to celebrate his birthday, and hurried back home for dinner , sent someone to prepare some generous gifts, but this gift is usually either a sword or a bow.

As for other surprises, don't even think about it.

Therefore, at that time, the eighth day of October every year was nothing more than an ordinary day in his thriving life.

Until he entered the Imperial Academy, and was dragged into another completely different life by an eccentric prince.

Since then, the eighth day of October has become the day he looks forward to the most every year besides going to the palace to go to school and going to the school to practice martial arts.

First of all, the gifts never stop—every year he receives all kinds of things, ranging from rare gadgets from all over the world to rare and rare treasures. The value may be high or low, but in his eyes, they are all priceless treasures.

In addition, Cen Yuan will definitely apply to leave the palace on this day.They either go to the horse farm, or go to the hunting ground, or go northwest to the endless grassland... In short, they will definitely indulge themselves outside the palace.

He once thought: Is this His Highness just using this as an excuse to go out for fun?It just didn't take a moment for this idea to become an invisible cloud.

Excuses are just excuses, he thought at the time, if the result is the same, that's enough.

It's just a pity, it seems that all the good days in this world will eventually become a dream, and before he greedily wants more, the "result" gradually changes-not only the rituals are gone, but the blessings are also gone , even the most important people are rare.

……

Yan Xuan's eyes still fell on the concentric knot that was the spike of the sword, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

Why do you think so much about the past.

Isn't he on his way to meet someone?

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the driver called out, "My lord, we're here."

Yan Xuan tidied up her clothes, got out of the carriage and asked the driver to go back to the house directly, and found the No. 25 boat along the pier.

There was only one person standing outside the boat, and it was the little official who picked them up after they got off the cruise ship last time.Seeing Yan Xuan's figure from a distance, the small official straightened his back, and when Yan Xuan approached, he shouted, "My lord, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, please."

Yan Xuan nodded and boarded the boat.

This boat is not big in appearance, but it has three floors. After Yan Xuan stepped on the deck, someone came and pointed him to the direction of the stairs, and said, "My lord, downstairs is the place where the oars and the boatman rest. .Because there are no other servants, if there is any need, I have to ask the young master to go downstairs to order."

"Will this boat sail at night?" Yan Xuan asked.

"I will walk around Danlin County." The boatman replied, "Let's start now, and we will arrive at the pier in the south at Haishi. We will stay until Sishi tomorrow morning, and then we will go back here."

Yan Xuan nodded in understanding and let people go down.

When the curtain was lifted, Yan Xuan found that the ship was like a shrunken main house, with the living room in sight, and doors on both sides that could be opened.This night, the moon was white and the wind was clear, the door was wide open, and the lights outside the ship mixed with the moonlight spread into the cabin, suppressing the candlelight by a bit.

It's just that for some reason, there are bright red curtains everywhere in the boat.

As soon as Yan Xuan scanned it, he caught a glimpse of Cen Yuan suddenly poking his head out from behind the screen directly opposite the living room.

"Why so slow?" Cen Yuan asked, his eyes fixed on the clothes Yan Xuan was wearing, and he was taken aback suddenly: "I remember you didn't wear this when you went out this morning."

"It was changed just now." Yan Xuan said.

Cen Yuan thought that it was someone's birthday today, and it would be too tough to wear heavy clothes, so he changed into a long-sleeved long shirt.At this moment, the two of them were facing each other, as if they were a pair of immortals walking out of the same painting.

He walked a few steps closer, smelled the acacia on Yan Xuan's body, and sniffed it: "Have you bathed yet?"

"Like a puppy." A slight smile appeared on Yan Xuan's face, and he held the back of his neck with one hand and pulled him back, raising his hand to wipe off the ashes rubbed on the other's face, "Otherwise, I'll be like you, ashamed Did you come here for your birthday?"

When Cen Yuan heard the words, he whispered, and said to himself: Even if you roll in the mud, you still look good.

But he still said on the face: "I thought I was hiding it well."

Having said that, he didn't show much surprise.

However, Yan Xuan looked around: "I just didn't expect...it would be like this."

Hearing this, Cen Yuan suddenly blushed, and under the warm light of the ceiling lamp, he could see the tips of his ears turning red.

"Before I say something," he said, "this was not my idea!"

Yan Xuan: "?"

"I just told the person who registered that I wanted to rent this boat to celebrate my wife's birthday, and I asked them to help me arrange it in advance." Cen Yuan looked away, pulled his ears, trying to dispel the heat, "No Thinking about it, they directly found a boat for a wedding banquet, and I only found out when I came to see it in the morning. And there were no other vacant boats at that time, so I couldn’t just dismantle it directly.”

Yan Xuan had a panoramic view of his little movements, pulled his hand that was rough on her ear, and said with a light smile, "It's okay."

"Anyway, you are 'no problem'." Cen Yuan choked immediately and made a face at the other party, but instead he clasped Yan Xuan's hand and pushed him onto the chair, "Don't waste time , just right, I can eat your longevity noodles."
