Man Xilan
Chapter 1: Big Wedding
For those who choose a very 'tragic' ending, the odds are only one to one.
"So everyone thinks the same thing." Ye Yuanluo picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky: "How can there be a long relationship between them?"
The gambling incident did not leave much deep traces in Ye Yuanluo's heart.
After all, not long after that, she fell into a gorgeous dreamland.
Su Xuan's enthusiasm for her is like fireworks in the sky during the Chinese New Year, people who are shining can't open their eyes.
The joyful songs all night long...the ever-present tenderness...the oath when there is no one in the middle of the night...
Ye Yuanluo likes to eat grapes, and the hard-working BMW, one of a million, specially transports truckloads of fresh grapes from the production area for her...
Ye Yuanluo felt unwell occasionally, and Su Xuan didn't even go to the morning court, and stayed by her side wholeheartedly.
Ye Yuanluo was like a farmer who only wanted good weather so that he could harvest more grain, but suddenly found a large piece of gold in the field... That kind of surprise was enough to make her dizzy.
She noticed the name Liu Lan again when the Liu family rebelled.
That accident made her, who lived in the palace, feel the bloody wind.
That's when she discovered a secret.
That day, when Su Xuan came back from the court hall, he had a bad expression on his face, and when he entered the door, he said to Ye Yuanluo: "I will bring all the good wines, concubine Ai, to me!"
Knowing that he was in a bad mood recently, Ye Yuanluo hurriedly greeted the little maids to bring wine and prepare dishes, and she also accompanied Su Xuan to hold the wine glass.
She had never seen Su Xuan drinking like that, as if he was desperate, cup after cup, pot after pot...
The maid who delivered the wine went back and forth several times...the appetizers were also delivered several times...
Ye Yuanluo couldn't help being a little startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the flagon from Su Xuan's hand, and then softly called: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
Su Xuan's drunken eyes were hazy, he stared at Ye Yuanluo in a daze and shouted: "Qi Zhi?"
"I'm not the fourth prince, I'm Yuanluo."
As if Su Xuan didn't hear it, he hugged Ye Yuanluo and muttered to himself: "Qi Zhi... Qi Zhi... why don't you..." The rest of the words were vague, confused, repeated and repeated, Ye Yuanluo Holding my breath, I tried my best to listen to the whole sentence: "Qizhi, why don't you turn around?"
Thinking about it afterwards, Ye Yuanluo was surprised that she could listen to Su Xuan's drunken words very calmly, without yelling or fainting from sadness... In fact, she just stared at a plate of soft and juicy meatballs on the table. Grapes, counting one by one, there are 67 in total, Ye Yuanluo feels that she will never forget this number.
A few years later, in that luxurious but cold palace, she rejected his father and brother's proposal to take her away.
Looking at their determined backs, Ye Yuanluo fell to the ground crying, and it was then that she suddenly understood that knowing the secret, sooner or later, there would always be a price to pay.
During the long and lonely years, Su Siqi was her only comfort and sustenance.
One afternoon, Su Siqi raised her face and asked her, "Why doesn't Father come to see me?"
Ye Yuanluo laughed quickly: "Because he likes you so much. He is afraid of attracting hatred for you, so he arranged us here..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ye Yuanluo suddenly remembered that many years ago, her mother explained to herself in this way...
Same rhetoric, same fate.
Maybe her mother's mother said the same thing, maybe Su Siqi will make the same excuse to her own daughter one day.
The vines and vines in the deep palace have the same fate, but they are endless.
This is the curse deeply buried in their blood, which no one can break.
After a long time, Ye Yuanluo sat beside Su Xuan in a queen's formal attire.
The door of the main hall opened slowly, and Ye Mingxuan walked in with several generals in armor.
Su Xuan smiled at Ye Mingxuan, "His Majesty Xuan, long time no see."
Ye Mingxuan also smiled: "Long time no see."
The sudden sunlight stung Ye Yuanluo's eyes, she turned her head quickly, looked at Su Xuan's side face, smiled, then stretched out her hand underneath and quietly held Su Xuan's hand, and gently squeezed it .
That is to tell the other party: I will be here with you, always with you.
When I Return, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance ([-])
When Su Huai had had enough fun and slipped down from the tree, it happened to be the hottest time of the day.
"Why is it so hot?" He raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead twice, wiping away the sweat, and then walked to the yard where he lived, wondering if he could get some sour plum soup from Madam Wang: it's refreshing and delicious The taste is light red, and if you are lucky, you can get some ice cubes... Su Huai's mouth is watering when he thinks about it.
When he was still some distance away from the courtyard, he couldn't wait to start calling: "Mommy Wang, Mommy Wang..."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of his eyes, which startled him a lot.
The person in front of him was dressed in a black robe and a noble purple gold crown on his head. He looked majestic and looked at Su Huai like he was looking at a small ant.
"Who are you?" The visitor asked loftily.
"My name is Su Huai."
"Su Huai?" The visitor repeated the name, with a playful expression on his face: "So, you are a prince?"
"I don't know." Su Huai said, "Maybe, anyway, Mother Wang said so."
"I am the emperor," the man said with a smile, "Of course, I am also your father."
After a few simple conversations, Su Huai followed Su Xuan to Qingyun Palace.
Of course, at that time, Su Huai didn't know how much impact this meeting would have on his life.
The days when he first arrived at Qingyun Palace were very novel, there were countless rare gadgets, countless exquisite foods, and groups of court ladies and eunuchs accompanying him, Su Huai had hundreds of games to play, not necessarily Climb up and down that old tree.
Su Xuan, that is, his father, was also very conniving towards him.
From the expressions and conversations of others, one could feel how much Su Xuan doted on him... It's just that this kind of doting was always taken by the Fourth Prince as a reference.
A court lady exclaimed: "That Pearl Linglong Pagoda! This is the fourth prince's favorite... His Majesty actually rewarded you with it?"
Su Huai was a little puzzled: "Why can't my father reward me?"
"Because that's what the fourth prince likes!!!" Such a natural tone.
Another little eunuch turned pale with shock: "Why did Prince Su Huai break the fourth prince's favorite vase???"
An old nanny in the palace said to him: "Your Majesty treats you so well, almost surpassing the Fourth Prince."
Su Huai ran over and asked Su Xuan: "Why do everyone like to compare me with Brother Four?"
Su Xuan was obviously taken aback, then sneered and said: "That man, what can he compare with you? Mentioning his name is an insult to your identity!"
So, Su Huai seemed a little complacent.
When meeting Su Qizhi for the first time, he was really showing off.
Nesting in Su Xuan's arms, looking at Su Qizhi provocatively, like a proud little peacock announcing to the other party: Look, all the favors of my father are mine.
It's just that the result is really embarrassing.
Su Qizhi dismissed him, and the second emperor's brother, Su Yuzhi, was very angry with him... Su Xuan turned coldly towards him, and even the kindest father-in-law, Fuer, didn't defend him anymore...
From then on, Su Huai felt that the fourth prince Su Qizhi had messed up his life.
The emperor always reprimanded: Why are you not like him?
'Why aren't you as smart as him? '
"Why aren't you as proud as he is?"
"Why aren't you as proficient at the piano as he is?"
……
Even if you don't say who that 'he' is, even if your father occasionally mentions him on weekdays, he still speaks sarcastically and looks impatient...but Su Huai knows that that 'he' is definitely the fourth prince.
When I Return, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance ([-])
Su Huai has a heartfelt, instinctive dislike for Su Qizhi.
He was young, but he also knew that it was hard to live in another person's shadow.
After Su Xuan reprimanded Su Huai for not being proficient in qin art for the first time, he sent someone to bring him a rare guqin, and invited famous musicians from all over the country to teach him.
After studying with the musician for a few days, the musician said to Su Xuan: "Prince Su Huai is talented and intelligent, as long as he perseveres, he will surely become a master."
Su Huai hid behind the screen and overheard the musician's words.
But he wasn't happy at all.
He always felt that the 'qin' belonged to Su Qizhi, and he always rejected Su Qizhi's things.
He ran over to Su Xuan and said, "Father, I don't want to learn the piano anymore."
Su Xuanzheng looked down at the memorial, and asked casually without raising his head: "Why?"
"I prefer calligraphy and painting and Go."
"Then invite other masters to teach you calligraphy, painting and Go." Su Xuan said, "You have to learn Qin."
"But…"
Su Xuan raised his head and glanced at Su Huai coldly, Su Huai was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.
Therefore, what Su Huai wanted to get rid of had always been carried on his shoulders.
No matter where he goes, Su Qizhi's influence is always with him. Sometimes, those influences are nightmares, and sometimes they become a kind of protection.
For example, when he does not do well in a certain aspect, he says to others: "Anyway, my fourth brother is not doing well." This can solve many problems.
Su Huai grew up slowly day by day, and his feelings towards Brother Four became more and more complicated.
There are too many comparisons with Su Qizhi. Regarding this topic, Su Huai is not as sensitive as he was at the beginning. He is used to it, or in other words, he is numb.
Sometimes, he would think to himself: "If I am the fourth brother..." or: "Why am I so stupid? I can't compare to the fourth brother at all?" However, the next moment he had such a thought, he would usually work hard Shaking his head, he seemed to want to shake out the thoughts just now: "Why did I have that kind of thought? What's so good about that Fourth Emperor brother, that it deserves everyone to say that about him?"
There is jealousy, unwillingness, envy, admiration, and intimacy... Su Huai's feelings for Su Qizhi are like a bowl of water in the open air. With the change of the weather, it sometimes turns into ice, sometimes warm... a kind of ups and downs emotion.
Before the relationship between Su Qizhi and Liu Lan was complicated and rumors spread, Su Huai had heard Liu Lan's name many times—all of them came from his third brother Su Ruizhi.
At that time, Su Huai liked Su Ruizhi very much, and naturally developed a friendship with Su Ruizhi's 'best in the world' cousin.
It's just... I didn't expect Brother Sanhuang's cousin to bring such a big surprise...
Su Huai ran over to gossip with Su Ruizhi: "Brother Sanhuang, I heard that your cousin and brother Sihuang..." After saying that, Su Huai began to wink at Su Ruizhi.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruizhi's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and went straight out.
Su Huai ran up to Su Xuan, and said with ulterior motives: "Father, I heard that Brother Sihuang and the young master of Liu's House..." The following words also disappeared under Su Xuan's increasingly cold eyes.
Fortunately, there are also a group of boring ministers who are equally curious.
The gray-haired Minister of the Household Department came over and asked with a smile: "In this game, do you want Prince Su Huai to bet a few taels of silver to join in the fun?"
Bet!Of course you have to bet!
The small calculations in Su Huai's mind were crackling, and he wished to take out all his private money and put it all on the 'tragic' ending~
But in the end, after dawdling a few times, he still only took out a 50 tael bank note and handed it over, and said in a strange way, "I'll bet on the long-term one!"
Hubu Shangshu was very surprised: "This... is absolutely unpopular."
"That's the only way to make money." Su Huai said, walking away arrogantly.
When I Returned, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance (End)
In the huge palace, there are many people who are kind to Su Huai, but few are sincere.
The elderly Wang Momo is the first one, and Eunuch Fuer barely counts as one...Su Xuan is moody, but Su Huai still counts him in...there is another one, the concubine Ye Yuanluo from Qi Country.
Ye Yuanluo's situation in the palace was similar to that of Su Huai. If Su Huai was shrouded in Su Qizhi's shadow, then Ye Yuanluo was completely covered by Ye Liu's light.
To a certain extent, Su Huai and Ye Yuanluo still have some feelings of sympathy connected with their fate.
Most people in the palace thought that Ye Yuanluo was a bit hypocritical, but Su Huai totally disagreed with them.
He felt that Ye Yuanluo's kindness was genuine kindness, and he often said good things about Ye Yuanluo to others: "The concubine Ye has a tolerant heart...The concubine Ye is very kind..."
He likes to stay with Yeyuanluo.
When he was free, Su Huai would go to Ye Yuanluo's palace to pass the time.
The two chat together, read a book... or deal with other concubines who come to visit together.
Su Huai was a staunch supporter of Ye Yuanluo's every step in the palace, and sometimes he acted more anxious than the Lord.
I'm afraid even Ye Yuanluo couldn't have expected that the little warmth she gave Su Huai would be rewarded so much.
As the years passed, Su Huai was also growing slowly.
He learned introspection and recollection, and he often hoped that those embarrassing fragments in his memory could be replayed...
For example, when he saw Su Xuan for the first time, he should be well-dressed and look like a little nobleman, instead of just climbing down from the tree in sweat and shouting at the top of his voice...
For another example, he never ran up to Su Qizhi, and asked in confusion: "What should I do to be like you?" When he faced Su Qizhi, he should be calm and calm, with an extraordinary bearing...
Even some tiny details became very important in my mind: I should have chosen to wear a purple gold crown instead of a simple hairpin for that banquet...
It's a pity that no matter what Su Huai expected, the past is the past after all, and no one can change it.
Before Su Huai met Su Xuan, he was a crazy kid who was ignored, and Su Qizhi would never run up to him, asking in a low voice: "How can I be like Emperor Su Huai?"
Fortunately, although the dead cannot be chased, there is always something to look forward to.
When Su Siqi was born, Su Huai was the happiest person in the whole palace.
His excitement even surpassed Su Siqi's mother: because when Ye Yuanluo heard her daughter's name, her eyes were blank and she leaned against the head of the bed blankly.
Su Huai hugged the flushed and wrinkled Su Siqi and smiled: "How can there be such a beautiful and cute child?" The maids around all snickered.
When Su Siqi stretched out his hand to hold Su Huai's thumb for the first time, Su Huai suddenly understood the significance of this sister to him and his responsibility as an elder brother: his past had been incomplete in one way or another, but everything about Su Siqi was perfect. Is brand new, and he will do his best to make her life trouble-free.
The most beautiful and beloved little princess...has the most luxurious costumes...has the best master to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...When she grows up, there will be countless princes who will fall in love with her...this is the Su Siqi that Su Huai hopes for Life is also the life he thinks Su Shiqi should have.
When Su Huai went to Yuan Country for his sister, his thoughts were actually very simple.
Although Su Siqi did not collect thousands of loves as he expected, although Su Siqi also has various regrets in his life, but it is better to stay in the motherland and stay with his mother than to go out and make friends...isn't it?
The ruts on the official road stretch into the distance... there seems to be no end in sight.
The carriage that Su Huai was riding in creaked and covered the faded marks, leaving traces of his passing.
Yuan Country, arrived amidst this boredom.
It coincided with the troubled times, and the Yuan Kingdom itself was also precarious... When Su Huai arrived at the palace, he handed Su Xuan's documents to a certain prince of the Yuan Kingdom, and was immediately taken away.
When leaving the hall, Su Huai heard a voice behind him:
"Send a prince? Qingguo is really generous..."
"What to do with those? Let's discuss how many troops to send and what is appropriate..."
Su Huai was taken to a secluded small yard and stopped. The yard was not big, and clusters of bright yellow flowers were blooming around the fence.
The guide said politely: "This is where Prince Su Huai lives."
'It's a little bit better than I thought. Su Huai thanked the guide with a smile, and then entered the house by himself.
Due to the exhaustion of the journey, Su Huai fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that hot afternoon. As soon as he slipped down from the tree, someone smiled and said to him: "Su Huai Prince, you have to dress nicely, you will meet a noble person in a while..."
So, Su Huai finally met the scene that changed his life when he was dressed the most.
When returning home, Man Xilan's extra heartbeat ([-])
The friendship between Wen Siming and Liu Lan can be traced back to before they were born.
They were all born in Bicheng. Although it is prosperous there, it is still incomparable to the country.
Walking around the streets of the capital, you can see the sedan chairs of many important officials of the imperial court. If you go to a small restaurant for dinner, Xiaoer may recommend this dish to you with a smile on his face, but it is Master XX’s favorite... if you are lucky , the person who passed you by may be the emperor who left the palace in micro-clothes...
In Bicheng, there are only a few people who can be regarded as "high-class people".
Liu Lan's father is the richest man in Qingguo, of course he is one, and Wen Siming's father is a world-famous Confucian, of course he is also one.
Therefore, Liu Lan and Wen Siming's fathers were always indispensable guests at the most numerous banquets in Bicheng. After coming and going, they became good friends, and even their respective wives became acquainted.
When Mrs. Wen was pregnant, she had the idea that if she and Mrs. Liu had a son and a daughter, they would become in-laws, and if they had two men and two women, they would marry each other... But as soon as she wanted to say such an idea, Madam Liu would With a calm expression, he swallowed it into his stomach.
Madam Liu's appearance is not glamorous, but her demeanor has a bit of indifference, especially those calm and uncontested eyes, which seem to be able to attract all people's thoughts.Among the charming, rich, or noisy group of official wives, wealthy businessmen, Mrs. Liu is definitely an outlier.
"She's just a piece of ice..." Someone whispered from behind, "I don't know what Mr. Liu values about her~~"
Which point do you fancy?
Mrs. Wen also often thinks about this question: Which of those so-called prominent families is not a group of wives and concubines?Children get along?Even her own master had a few romantic affairs, which were passed down as good stories... But Liu Jiyun, for so many years, insisted on keeping his life clean, guarding his first wife and only son...
Mrs. Wen remembered that Wen Siming's father had been guarding the gate of the temple for several days, just to see himself who went to the temple to fulfill his wish. I have to stutter... Mrs. Wen herself was a good story back then, but it is a pity that as she gets older, she gradually loses her beauty and retreats to the back to watch other people and her husband's 'good story'.
Maybe it was because those few years were too happy and consumed all the luck later... Mrs. Wen thought so more than once: If she got along as calmly as Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu at the beginning, then there may be more days of respecting each other as guests several years…
In Mrs. Wen's heart, she was not envious of Liu Lan's mother.
When it comes to Wen Siming, things are much simpler: Liu Lan and I are brothers, no matter what happens, we are brothers.
When we were young, we were so angry that the beards of the private school teachers turned up, and we went to the pond to play together. When Wen Siming got into trouble, it was Liu Lan who helped to excuse in front of Mrs. Wen. Things that Liu Lan didn't want to do, Wen Siming rolled up his sleeves rush…
Such a carefree life lasted until Liu Lan was 11 years old.
One afternoon, Liu Lan said to Wen Siming, who was hanging upside down on a big tree in his yard, "My father told me that our family is moving to the capital."
"What?" Wen Siming panicked and almost fell from the tree: "It's fine, why did you move away?"
Regarding this question, Liu Lan was also a little confused: "I don't know very well, it should be for business matters."
There are 1 people in Wen Siming who don't want Liu Lan to leave, and Liu Lan doesn't want to leave Bicheng, but Liu Jiyun's decision can't be influenced by the wishes of the two children, and the Liu family still left.
One day, Wen Siming who stayed in Bicheng received a letter from Liu Lan again.
Wen Siming left the group of playmates behind, and ran to the side with great interest to open it. Like the usual letters, it contained some daily trivial matters. Liu Lan led his cousin, the third prince, to play... Liu Lan Going to inspect the store with Liu Jiyun...
At the end of the letter, Liu Lan wrote without thinking: Siming, I met the fourth prince.
Man Xilan's extra heartbeat when returning home ([-])
'So it's gone? Wen Siming turned the letter over and over, read the corners several times, and finally believed that the letter was over.
'What's so strange about meeting the Fourth Prince? 'Wen Siming didn't understand.
When he wrote back to Liu Lan, he also added a sentence: I just met the young girl of the city lord, she is childish and cute.
After a while, Liu Lan's letter came from the capital again and was handed to Wen Siming.
Liu Lan wrote that he and the fourth prince went to the river to catch fish, and next time they made an appointment to play in the woods...
Wen Siming said that he met the daughter of the captain of the city guards yesterday, and when he grows up, he wants her to be his bride...
Liu Lan wrote about what the fourth prince said to him one day...
Wen Siming's reply seemed extremely excited: Liu Lan!I just realized that my little cousin is so beautiful! !I must make her my bride! !
In the end, Wen Siming still followed his father's romantic temperament, and there was a tendency to carry it forward.
He was born handsome, his family was prominent, his temperament was extremely flamboyant, but he was extremely loyal, especially charismatic and provocative. All the princes and young masters in Bicheng were centered on him. Raise your arms and call out, and you will immediately attract countless followers, and your life can be described as turbulent and wanton.
Whenever he walks on the streets of Bicheng waving his fan lightly, he can attract the affectionate gazes of a group of young girls. There must be at least ten or eight of his confidante.
When civilization faced them, it looked another way.
Boating under the moon, stepping on the snow to find plum blossoms, showing love with fireworks, thrushing eyebrows in the mirror... all kinds of tricks that make the little girls blush and heartbeat, Wen Siming is very skilled.
Father Wen stroked his beard and sighed, "Si Ming has the demeanor of his father back then."
Mrs. Wen on the side snorted coldly: "That's called style? That's called a stinky body!"
Father Wen immediately submissive, not daring to refute.
Wen Siming has become a handsome noble son, but his father is gradually getting old and has become a veritable "Mr. Wen". Those "good stories" naturally leave him and turn to younger talents.
Father Wen misses the warmth of his family and his first wife...but that warmth has some cracks after all. No matter how hard Mrs. Wen sees it, there will be resentment and jealousy emerging from the bottom of her heart. Many bitter words were not intentionally made by her. It's just that I can't control myself... I can't help it, some injuries are too deep, and I can't cover them up.
Wen Siming watched coldly, and suddenly remembered that in the early years, it was his father who was arrogant at home, and his mother was by the side to be careful... Now it can be said that Feng Shui turns...
But what's the point of all this?Wen Siming sneered, left the dining room, and continued to have fun with those friends outside.
One day, Liu Lan, who hadn't heard from her for a long time, suddenly sent another letter, saying that he had returned from a trip and would come to Bicheng to visit him.
Wen Siming was overjoyed. After all, he and Liu Lan hadn't seen each other for eight or nine years.
On the appointed day, he deliberately got up early and rushed to the gate of Bicheng to meet Liu Lan.
Needless to say, when friends meet again, there are all kinds of feelings in my heart. Wen Siming patted Liu Lan on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, smiling all the time?"
Liu Lan also smiled and said, "Aren't you the same? You're still so pushy."
When he arrived in Bicheng, Liu Lan naturally wanted to live in Wenfu.
After everything was tidied up, Liu Lan pointed to a box: "The things inside are all for you."
Wen Siming opened it and saw that it was full of special things from various places: tea from water towns, bone carvings from deserts, wood carvings from Qi country...
Wen Siming said: "This trip is really easy for you."
"Pretty much the whole continent goes around in one circle."
Wen Siming asked again: "Why did you think of traveling early? I remember your father said that you have to wait until you are 15 years old?"
"I just think it's good to go out early, anyway, I have to go this way sooner or later."
"That's right." Wen Siming nodded: "Since we're back in Bicheng, let's stay for a while longer, for a year or so."
Liu Lan refused with a smile: "I can only stay here for a few days, and then I have to go to the capital."
Wen Siming was a little puzzled: "Then what are you in a hurry for?"
Liu Lan smiled and said, "I want to take some gifts back to the Fourth Prince sooner."
When I Returned, Man Xilan's Heartbeat ([-])
"Just for this reason?" Wen Siming yelled strangely: "When can't the gift be delivered?"
Liu Lan explained: "Some things will go bad after a while."
"Then send a few servants to transport it back first."
Liu Lan sighed: "But I want to give it to him myself."
Wen Siming finally heard something was wrong, and looked at Liu Lan strangely: "The more you say this, the more outrageous it is~"
"Where is the outrageous?"
"I never knew you were a person who valued sex over friends." Wen Siming and his brother put Liu Lan's shoulders nicely: "I remember you mentioned the name of the fourth prince in every letter..."
Liu Lan interjected, "I also remember that you changed dozens of brides..."
"That's different!" Wen Siming emphasized: "That's the fourth prince! Everyone says that the fourth prince is arrogant and unreasonable..."
"They were all wrong." Liu Lan said flatly, "They don't even understand."
Looking at Liu Lan's expression, Wen Siming knew that he couldn't persuade him.
Liu Lan looks gentle and elegant, but he is still very stubborn in his bones. If he decides something, he will not turn back.
After Liu Lan returned to the capital, she began to write letters to Wen Siming on time.
Of the three pages, the four princes can take up two pages.
Wen Siming looked at the letter in his hand, and listened to the rumors spread from the capital to Bicheng: all kinds of things between the fourth prince and the young master of the Liu family... Occasionally, he smiled knowingly.
Such days continued until the day when the Liu family incident happened.
It was that incident that made Wen Siming fully understand why Liu Jiyun was so determined back then to move his family to the capital.
Hearing the news of Liu Lan's accident, Wen Siming traveled day and night and rushed to the capital as quickly as possible.
All the shops belonging to Liu's family that I saw along the way were smashed and destroyed, and all the shelves that had been dazzling in the past were all looted...Ven Siming was terrified by all kinds of scenes.
When you arrive in the capital, you can't go to places related to the Liu family. Wen Siming thought about it and went straight to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Then, he met Su Yuzhi at the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The first meeting between two people is actually very bad, a bit like fighting cocks.
Su Yuzhi desperately wanted to maintain his position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but Wen Siming, who had always been used to making publicity, naturally refused to give up an inch.
Amidst the noise, the two saw Su Qizhi together.
Worried about the affairs of the Liu family, Su Qizhi's complexion was not very good.
Su Yuzhi immediately asked Han Wennuan, "Have you eaten?" "Would you like some tea?" "What do you want to eat, tell brother, I'll get it for you..."
Wen Siming looked amused: "I've never seen such a mother-in-law as a brother."
Su Yuzhi raised his head: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Love brother!" Wen Siming snorted coldly.
"That's better than your peacock!" Naturally, Su Yuzhi was not willing to be defeated.
Wen Siming asked about the current progress of the Liu family's case, and Su Yuzhi sneered at the side: "Looking at you, you can only do a disservice!"
When Su Yuzhi mentioned Liu Lan, Wen Siming sneered at the side: "Hypocrisy!"
However, there are a lot of things going on recently, for Su Yuzhi's convenience, Su Qizhi specially prepared a residence for him in the Fourth Prince's Mansion - just next to Wen Siming's.
In this way, the two people met more frequently, and they also disliked each other even more. As soon as they met, wars began to rage.
It caused people around to complain again and again.
Man Xilan's extra heartbeat when returning home ([-])
After a long time, Wen Siming thinks that Su Yuzhi is quite interesting: carefree, when encountering matters related to Su Qizhi, he becomes cautious again, and sometimes he looks silly when doing things... But, sometimes And extraordinarily shrewd...
Sometimes Su Yuzhi was quite generous, and he would ignore the excessive ridicule. Of course, Wen Siming was suspicious of those puns, but the second prince didn't understand.
Looking at Su Yuzhi's various performances, Wen Siming felt that he seemed to have not grown up, and his temper had not yet settled down. Today he likes to go east, and tomorrow he likes to go west. Anyway, he has a noble status, has time and money, and countless servants Spend with him...
There is only one thing: the rumor about Su Qizhi, every time it is mentioned, Su Yuzhi will immediately jump up like fur.Su Yuzhi always supported and trusted his younger brother unconditionally.Although a discerning person can understand at a glance, his younger brother is much more imposing than him in all aspects...
"What do they know?" Su Yuzhi said seriously, "They don't understand my fourth brother at all."
"That's not all people have to know the fourth prince." Wen Siming said: "Many couples who have been together for many years don't know each other, let alone those outsiders?"
"If you don't understand, then don't talk nonsense."
"Yes," Wen Siming quickly echoed: "For example, if I say you love your brother, it's because you really have a little love for your brother..."
"Then you are still a peacock!!" Su Yuzhi stood up, said angrily, and strode away.
Wen Siming looked at his back, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The case of the Liu family is so involved, it seems that a haze hangs over everyone's heart.
Su Qizhi was running around for this case, and his frail body quickly lost weight. Not only did Su Yuzhi's heart skip a beat when he saw that pale face, even Wen Siming's heart palpitations when he saw it.
Bringing a bowl of old ginseng soup and putting it in front of Su Qizhi, Wen Siming persuaded: "This soup is very nourishing for the body, the Fourth Prince must try it."
Su Qizhi looked at the soup bowl and gently pushed it aside: "I don't feel like I have any appetite."
"Then try a little bit," Wen Siming thought for a while, and said, "This soup...Liu Lan used to like to drink it when she was in Bicheng."
Su Qizhi also thought for a while, and finally picked up the soup bowl.
Seeing Su Qizhi finish drinking the soup and put down the soup bowl, Wen Siming asked again: "What happened to the Liu family's case?"
"The situation is not very good." Su Qizhi said: "There are too many people involved, the crimes are too big, and the time is too tight. I seem to have thought of a thousand ways, but I feel that we have nowhere to go."
Wen Siming forced a smile: "It's okay, think slowly, and you will always come up with a solution."
Su Qizhi sighed: "But I'm afraid it will be too late."
It is indeed too late.
Rao Su Qizhi's amazing talent, Rao Wen Siming and Su Yuzhi's full cooperation... Rao the hard work of so many people... In the end, it turned into a sigh, a regret.
The glory of the Liu family was like a flash in the pan in Qingguo's history, and then withered quickly.
All the property of the Liu family was taken to the state treasury, Liu Jiyun was sentenced to death... and Liu Lan... also chose a decisive way...
For a long time after that, Wen Siming
"So everyone thinks the same thing." Ye Yuanluo picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky: "How can there be a long relationship between them?"
The gambling incident did not leave much deep traces in Ye Yuanluo's heart.
After all, not long after that, she fell into a gorgeous dreamland.
Su Xuan's enthusiasm for her is like fireworks in the sky during the Chinese New Year, people who are shining can't open their eyes.
The joyful songs all night long...the ever-present tenderness...the oath when there is no one in the middle of the night...
Ye Yuanluo likes to eat grapes, and the hard-working BMW, one of a million, specially transports truckloads of fresh grapes from the production area for her...
Ye Yuanluo felt unwell occasionally, and Su Xuan didn't even go to the morning court, and stayed by her side wholeheartedly.
Ye Yuanluo was like a farmer who only wanted good weather so that he could harvest more grain, but suddenly found a large piece of gold in the field... That kind of surprise was enough to make her dizzy.
She noticed the name Liu Lan again when the Liu family rebelled.
That accident made her, who lived in the palace, feel the bloody wind.
That's when she discovered a secret.
That day, when Su Xuan came back from the court hall, he had a bad expression on his face, and when he entered the door, he said to Ye Yuanluo: "I will bring all the good wines, concubine Ai, to me!"
Knowing that he was in a bad mood recently, Ye Yuanluo hurriedly greeted the little maids to bring wine and prepare dishes, and she also accompanied Su Xuan to hold the wine glass.
She had never seen Su Xuan drinking like that, as if he was desperate, cup after cup, pot after pot...
The maid who delivered the wine went back and forth several times...the appetizers were also delivered several times...
Ye Yuanluo couldn't help being a little startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the flagon from Su Xuan's hand, and then softly called: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
Su Xuan's drunken eyes were hazy, he stared at Ye Yuanluo in a daze and shouted: "Qi Zhi?"
"I'm not the fourth prince, I'm Yuanluo."
As if Su Xuan didn't hear it, he hugged Ye Yuanluo and muttered to himself: "Qi Zhi... Qi Zhi... why don't you..." The rest of the words were vague, confused, repeated and repeated, Ye Yuanluo Holding my breath, I tried my best to listen to the whole sentence: "Qizhi, why don't you turn around?"
Thinking about it afterwards, Ye Yuanluo was surprised that she could listen to Su Xuan's drunken words very calmly, without yelling or fainting from sadness... In fact, she just stared at a plate of soft and juicy meatballs on the table. Grapes, counting one by one, there are 67 in total, Ye Yuanluo feels that she will never forget this number.
A few years later, in that luxurious but cold palace, she rejected his father and brother's proposal to take her away.
Looking at their determined backs, Ye Yuanluo fell to the ground crying, and it was then that she suddenly understood that knowing the secret, sooner or later, there would always be a price to pay.
During the long and lonely years, Su Siqi was her only comfort and sustenance.
One afternoon, Su Siqi raised her face and asked her, "Why doesn't Father come to see me?"
Ye Yuanluo laughed quickly: "Because he likes you so much. He is afraid of attracting hatred for you, so he arranged us here..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ye Yuanluo suddenly remembered that many years ago, her mother explained to herself in this way...
Same rhetoric, same fate.
Maybe her mother's mother said the same thing, maybe Su Siqi will make the same excuse to her own daughter one day.
The vines and vines in the deep palace have the same fate, but they are endless.
This is the curse deeply buried in their blood, which no one can break.
After a long time, Ye Yuanluo sat beside Su Xuan in a queen's formal attire.
The door of the main hall opened slowly, and Ye Mingxuan walked in with several generals in armor.
Su Xuan smiled at Ye Mingxuan, "His Majesty Xuan, long time no see."
Ye Mingxuan also smiled: "Long time no see."
The sudden sunlight stung Ye Yuanluo's eyes, she turned her head quickly, looked at Su Xuan's side face, smiled, then stretched out her hand underneath and quietly held Su Xuan's hand, and gently squeezed it .
That is to tell the other party: I will be here with you, always with you.
When I Return, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance ([-])
When Su Huai had had enough fun and slipped down from the tree, it happened to be the hottest time of the day.
"Why is it so hot?" He raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead twice, wiping away the sweat, and then walked to the yard where he lived, wondering if he could get some sour plum soup from Madam Wang: it's refreshing and delicious The taste is light red, and if you are lucky, you can get some ice cubes... Su Huai's mouth is watering when he thinks about it.
When he was still some distance away from the courtyard, he couldn't wait to start calling: "Mommy Wang, Mommy Wang..."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of his eyes, which startled him a lot.
The person in front of him was dressed in a black robe and a noble purple gold crown on his head. He looked majestic and looked at Su Huai like he was looking at a small ant.
"Who are you?" The visitor asked loftily.
"My name is Su Huai."
"Su Huai?" The visitor repeated the name, with a playful expression on his face: "So, you are a prince?"
"I don't know." Su Huai said, "Maybe, anyway, Mother Wang said so."
"I am the emperor," the man said with a smile, "Of course, I am also your father."
After a few simple conversations, Su Huai followed Su Xuan to Qingyun Palace.
Of course, at that time, Su Huai didn't know how much impact this meeting would have on his life.
The days when he first arrived at Qingyun Palace were very novel, there were countless rare gadgets, countless exquisite foods, and groups of court ladies and eunuchs accompanying him, Su Huai had hundreds of games to play, not necessarily Climb up and down that old tree.
Su Xuan, that is, his father, was also very conniving towards him.
From the expressions and conversations of others, one could feel how much Su Xuan doted on him... It's just that this kind of doting was always taken by the Fourth Prince as a reference.
A court lady exclaimed: "That Pearl Linglong Pagoda! This is the fourth prince's favorite... His Majesty actually rewarded you with it?"
Su Huai was a little puzzled: "Why can't my father reward me?"
"Because that's what the fourth prince likes!!!" Such a natural tone.
Another little eunuch turned pale with shock: "Why did Prince Su Huai break the fourth prince's favorite vase???"
An old nanny in the palace said to him: "Your Majesty treats you so well, almost surpassing the Fourth Prince."
Su Huai ran over and asked Su Xuan: "Why do everyone like to compare me with Brother Four?"
Su Xuan was obviously taken aback, then sneered and said: "That man, what can he compare with you? Mentioning his name is an insult to your identity!"
So, Su Huai seemed a little complacent.
When meeting Su Qizhi for the first time, he was really showing off.
Nesting in Su Xuan's arms, looking at Su Qizhi provocatively, like a proud little peacock announcing to the other party: Look, all the favors of my father are mine.
It's just that the result is really embarrassing.
Su Qizhi dismissed him, and the second emperor's brother, Su Yuzhi, was very angry with him... Su Xuan turned coldly towards him, and even the kindest father-in-law, Fuer, didn't defend him anymore...
From then on, Su Huai felt that the fourth prince Su Qizhi had messed up his life.
The emperor always reprimanded: Why are you not like him?
'Why aren't you as smart as him? '
"Why aren't you as proud as he is?"
"Why aren't you as proficient at the piano as he is?"
……
Even if you don't say who that 'he' is, even if your father occasionally mentions him on weekdays, he still speaks sarcastically and looks impatient...but Su Huai knows that that 'he' is definitely the fourth prince.
When I Return, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance ([-])
Su Huai has a heartfelt, instinctive dislike for Su Qizhi.
He was young, but he also knew that it was hard to live in another person's shadow.
After Su Xuan reprimanded Su Huai for not being proficient in qin art for the first time, he sent someone to bring him a rare guqin, and invited famous musicians from all over the country to teach him.
After studying with the musician for a few days, the musician said to Su Xuan: "Prince Su Huai is talented and intelligent, as long as he perseveres, he will surely become a master."
Su Huai hid behind the screen and overheard the musician's words.
But he wasn't happy at all.
He always felt that the 'qin' belonged to Su Qizhi, and he always rejected Su Qizhi's things.
He ran over to Su Xuan and said, "Father, I don't want to learn the piano anymore."
Su Xuanzheng looked down at the memorial, and asked casually without raising his head: "Why?"
"I prefer calligraphy and painting and Go."
"Then invite other masters to teach you calligraphy, painting and Go." Su Xuan said, "You have to learn Qin."
"But…"
Su Xuan raised his head and glanced at Su Huai coldly, Su Huai was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.
Therefore, what Su Huai wanted to get rid of had always been carried on his shoulders.
No matter where he goes, Su Qizhi's influence is always with him. Sometimes, those influences are nightmares, and sometimes they become a kind of protection.
For example, when he does not do well in a certain aspect, he says to others: "Anyway, my fourth brother is not doing well." This can solve many problems.
Su Huai grew up slowly day by day, and his feelings towards Brother Four became more and more complicated.
There are too many comparisons with Su Qizhi. Regarding this topic, Su Huai is not as sensitive as he was at the beginning. He is used to it, or in other words, he is numb.
Sometimes, he would think to himself: "If I am the fourth brother..." or: "Why am I so stupid? I can't compare to the fourth brother at all?" However, the next moment he had such a thought, he would usually work hard Shaking his head, he seemed to want to shake out the thoughts just now: "Why did I have that kind of thought? What's so good about that Fourth Emperor brother, that it deserves everyone to say that about him?"
There is jealousy, unwillingness, envy, admiration, and intimacy... Su Huai's feelings for Su Qizhi are like a bowl of water in the open air. With the change of the weather, it sometimes turns into ice, sometimes warm... a kind of ups and downs emotion.
Before the relationship between Su Qizhi and Liu Lan was complicated and rumors spread, Su Huai had heard Liu Lan's name many times—all of them came from his third brother Su Ruizhi.
At that time, Su Huai liked Su Ruizhi very much, and naturally developed a friendship with Su Ruizhi's 'best in the world' cousin.
It's just... I didn't expect Brother Sanhuang's cousin to bring such a big surprise...
Su Huai ran over to gossip with Su Ruizhi: "Brother Sanhuang, I heard that your cousin and brother Sihuang..." After saying that, Su Huai began to wink at Su Ruizhi.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruizhi's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and went straight out.
Su Huai ran up to Su Xuan, and said with ulterior motives: "Father, I heard that Brother Sihuang and the young master of Liu's House..." The following words also disappeared under Su Xuan's increasingly cold eyes.
Fortunately, there are also a group of boring ministers who are equally curious.
The gray-haired Minister of the Household Department came over and asked with a smile: "In this game, do you want Prince Su Huai to bet a few taels of silver to join in the fun?"
Bet!Of course you have to bet!
The small calculations in Su Huai's mind were crackling, and he wished to take out all his private money and put it all on the 'tragic' ending~
But in the end, after dawdling a few times, he still only took out a 50 tael bank note and handed it over, and said in a strange way, "I'll bet on the long-term one!"
Hubu Shangshu was very surprised: "This... is absolutely unpopular."
"That's the only way to make money." Su Huai said, walking away arrogantly.
When I Returned, Man Xilan's Special Remembrance (End)
In the huge palace, there are many people who are kind to Su Huai, but few are sincere.
The elderly Wang Momo is the first one, and Eunuch Fuer barely counts as one...Su Xuan is moody, but Su Huai still counts him in...there is another one, the concubine Ye Yuanluo from Qi Country.
Ye Yuanluo's situation in the palace was similar to that of Su Huai. If Su Huai was shrouded in Su Qizhi's shadow, then Ye Yuanluo was completely covered by Ye Liu's light.
To a certain extent, Su Huai and Ye Yuanluo still have some feelings of sympathy connected with their fate.
Most people in the palace thought that Ye Yuanluo was a bit hypocritical, but Su Huai totally disagreed with them.
He felt that Ye Yuanluo's kindness was genuine kindness, and he often said good things about Ye Yuanluo to others: "The concubine Ye has a tolerant heart...The concubine Ye is very kind..."
He likes to stay with Yeyuanluo.
When he was free, Su Huai would go to Ye Yuanluo's palace to pass the time.
The two chat together, read a book... or deal with other concubines who come to visit together.
Su Huai was a staunch supporter of Ye Yuanluo's every step in the palace, and sometimes he acted more anxious than the Lord.
I'm afraid even Ye Yuanluo couldn't have expected that the little warmth she gave Su Huai would be rewarded so much.
As the years passed, Su Huai was also growing slowly.
He learned introspection and recollection, and he often hoped that those embarrassing fragments in his memory could be replayed...
For example, when he saw Su Xuan for the first time, he should be well-dressed and look like a little nobleman, instead of just climbing down from the tree in sweat and shouting at the top of his voice...
For another example, he never ran up to Su Qizhi, and asked in confusion: "What should I do to be like you?" When he faced Su Qizhi, he should be calm and calm, with an extraordinary bearing...
Even some tiny details became very important in my mind: I should have chosen to wear a purple gold crown instead of a simple hairpin for that banquet...
It's a pity that no matter what Su Huai expected, the past is the past after all, and no one can change it.
Before Su Huai met Su Xuan, he was a crazy kid who was ignored, and Su Qizhi would never run up to him, asking in a low voice: "How can I be like Emperor Su Huai?"
Fortunately, although the dead cannot be chased, there is always something to look forward to.
When Su Siqi was born, Su Huai was the happiest person in the whole palace.
His excitement even surpassed Su Siqi's mother: because when Ye Yuanluo heard her daughter's name, her eyes were blank and she leaned against the head of the bed blankly.
Su Huai hugged the flushed and wrinkled Su Siqi and smiled: "How can there be such a beautiful and cute child?" The maids around all snickered.
When Su Siqi stretched out his hand to hold Su Huai's thumb for the first time, Su Huai suddenly understood the significance of this sister to him and his responsibility as an elder brother: his past had been incomplete in one way or another, but everything about Su Siqi was perfect. Is brand new, and he will do his best to make her life trouble-free.
The most beautiful and beloved little princess...has the most luxurious costumes...has the best master to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...When she grows up, there will be countless princes who will fall in love with her...this is the Su Siqi that Su Huai hopes for Life is also the life he thinks Su Shiqi should have.
When Su Huai went to Yuan Country for his sister, his thoughts were actually very simple.
Although Su Siqi did not collect thousands of loves as he expected, although Su Siqi also has various regrets in his life, but it is better to stay in the motherland and stay with his mother than to go out and make friends...isn't it?
The ruts on the official road stretch into the distance... there seems to be no end in sight.
The carriage that Su Huai was riding in creaked and covered the faded marks, leaving traces of his passing.
Yuan Country, arrived amidst this boredom.
It coincided with the troubled times, and the Yuan Kingdom itself was also precarious... When Su Huai arrived at the palace, he handed Su Xuan's documents to a certain prince of the Yuan Kingdom, and was immediately taken away.
When leaving the hall, Su Huai heard a voice behind him:
"Send a prince? Qingguo is really generous..."
"What to do with those? Let's discuss how many troops to send and what is appropriate..."
Su Huai was taken to a secluded small yard and stopped. The yard was not big, and clusters of bright yellow flowers were blooming around the fence.
The guide said politely: "This is where Prince Su Huai lives."
'It's a little bit better than I thought. Su Huai thanked the guide with a smile, and then entered the house by himself.
Due to the exhaustion of the journey, Su Huai fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that hot afternoon. As soon as he slipped down from the tree, someone smiled and said to him: "Su Huai Prince, you have to dress nicely, you will meet a noble person in a while..."
So, Su Huai finally met the scene that changed his life when he was dressed the most.
When returning home, Man Xilan's extra heartbeat ([-])
The friendship between Wen Siming and Liu Lan can be traced back to before they were born.
They were all born in Bicheng. Although it is prosperous there, it is still incomparable to the country.
Walking around the streets of the capital, you can see the sedan chairs of many important officials of the imperial court. If you go to a small restaurant for dinner, Xiaoer may recommend this dish to you with a smile on his face, but it is Master XX’s favorite... if you are lucky , the person who passed you by may be the emperor who left the palace in micro-clothes...
In Bicheng, there are only a few people who can be regarded as "high-class people".
Liu Lan's father is the richest man in Qingguo, of course he is one, and Wen Siming's father is a world-famous Confucian, of course he is also one.
Therefore, Liu Lan and Wen Siming's fathers were always indispensable guests at the most numerous banquets in Bicheng. After coming and going, they became good friends, and even their respective wives became acquainted.
When Mrs. Wen was pregnant, she had the idea that if she and Mrs. Liu had a son and a daughter, they would become in-laws, and if they had two men and two women, they would marry each other... But as soon as she wanted to say such an idea, Madam Liu would With a calm expression, he swallowed it into his stomach.
Madam Liu's appearance is not glamorous, but her demeanor has a bit of indifference, especially those calm and uncontested eyes, which seem to be able to attract all people's thoughts.Among the charming, rich, or noisy group of official wives, wealthy businessmen, Mrs. Liu is definitely an outlier.
"She's just a piece of ice..." Someone whispered from behind, "I don't know what Mr. Liu values about her~~"
Which point do you fancy?
Mrs. Wen also often thinks about this question: Which of those so-called prominent families is not a group of wives and concubines?Children get along?Even her own master had a few romantic affairs, which were passed down as good stories... But Liu Jiyun, for so many years, insisted on keeping his life clean, guarding his first wife and only son...
Mrs. Wen remembered that Wen Siming's father had been guarding the gate of the temple for several days, just to see himself who went to the temple to fulfill his wish. I have to stutter... Mrs. Wen herself was a good story back then, but it is a pity that as she gets older, she gradually loses her beauty and retreats to the back to watch other people and her husband's 'good story'.
Maybe it was because those few years were too happy and consumed all the luck later... Mrs. Wen thought so more than once: If she got along as calmly as Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu at the beginning, then there may be more days of respecting each other as guests several years…
In Mrs. Wen's heart, she was not envious of Liu Lan's mother.
When it comes to Wen Siming, things are much simpler: Liu Lan and I are brothers, no matter what happens, we are brothers.
When we were young, we were so angry that the beards of the private school teachers turned up, and we went to the pond to play together. When Wen Siming got into trouble, it was Liu Lan who helped to excuse in front of Mrs. Wen. Things that Liu Lan didn't want to do, Wen Siming rolled up his sleeves rush…
Such a carefree life lasted until Liu Lan was 11 years old.
One afternoon, Liu Lan said to Wen Siming, who was hanging upside down on a big tree in his yard, "My father told me that our family is moving to the capital."
"What?" Wen Siming panicked and almost fell from the tree: "It's fine, why did you move away?"
Regarding this question, Liu Lan was also a little confused: "I don't know very well, it should be for business matters."
There are 1 people in Wen Siming who don't want Liu Lan to leave, and Liu Lan doesn't want to leave Bicheng, but Liu Jiyun's decision can't be influenced by the wishes of the two children, and the Liu family still left.
One day, Wen Siming who stayed in Bicheng received a letter from Liu Lan again.
Wen Siming left the group of playmates behind, and ran to the side with great interest to open it. Like the usual letters, it contained some daily trivial matters. Liu Lan led his cousin, the third prince, to play... Liu Lan Going to inspect the store with Liu Jiyun...
At the end of the letter, Liu Lan wrote without thinking: Siming, I met the fourth prince.
Man Xilan's extra heartbeat when returning home ([-])
'So it's gone? Wen Siming turned the letter over and over, read the corners several times, and finally believed that the letter was over.
'What's so strange about meeting the Fourth Prince? 'Wen Siming didn't understand.
When he wrote back to Liu Lan, he also added a sentence: I just met the young girl of the city lord, she is childish and cute.
After a while, Liu Lan's letter came from the capital again and was handed to Wen Siming.
Liu Lan wrote that he and the fourth prince went to the river to catch fish, and next time they made an appointment to play in the woods...
Wen Siming said that he met the daughter of the captain of the city guards yesterday, and when he grows up, he wants her to be his bride...
Liu Lan wrote about what the fourth prince said to him one day...
Wen Siming's reply seemed extremely excited: Liu Lan!I just realized that my little cousin is so beautiful! !I must make her my bride! !
In the end, Wen Siming still followed his father's romantic temperament, and there was a tendency to carry it forward.
He was born handsome, his family was prominent, his temperament was extremely flamboyant, but he was extremely loyal, especially charismatic and provocative. All the princes and young masters in Bicheng were centered on him. Raise your arms and call out, and you will immediately attract countless followers, and your life can be described as turbulent and wanton.
Whenever he walks on the streets of Bicheng waving his fan lightly, he can attract the affectionate gazes of a group of young girls. There must be at least ten or eight of his confidante.
When civilization faced them, it looked another way.
Boating under the moon, stepping on the snow to find plum blossoms, showing love with fireworks, thrushing eyebrows in the mirror... all kinds of tricks that make the little girls blush and heartbeat, Wen Siming is very skilled.
Father Wen stroked his beard and sighed, "Si Ming has the demeanor of his father back then."
Mrs. Wen on the side snorted coldly: "That's called style? That's called a stinky body!"
Father Wen immediately submissive, not daring to refute.
Wen Siming has become a handsome noble son, but his father is gradually getting old and has become a veritable "Mr. Wen". Those "good stories" naturally leave him and turn to younger talents.
Father Wen misses the warmth of his family and his first wife...but that warmth has some cracks after all. No matter how hard Mrs. Wen sees it, there will be resentment and jealousy emerging from the bottom of her heart. Many bitter words were not intentionally made by her. It's just that I can't control myself... I can't help it, some injuries are too deep, and I can't cover them up.
Wen Siming watched coldly, and suddenly remembered that in the early years, it was his father who was arrogant at home, and his mother was by the side to be careful... Now it can be said that Feng Shui turns...
But what's the point of all this?Wen Siming sneered, left the dining room, and continued to have fun with those friends outside.
One day, Liu Lan, who hadn't heard from her for a long time, suddenly sent another letter, saying that he had returned from a trip and would come to Bicheng to visit him.
Wen Siming was overjoyed. After all, he and Liu Lan hadn't seen each other for eight or nine years.
On the appointed day, he deliberately got up early and rushed to the gate of Bicheng to meet Liu Lan.
Needless to say, when friends meet again, there are all kinds of feelings in my heart. Wen Siming patted Liu Lan on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, smiling all the time?"
Liu Lan also smiled and said, "Aren't you the same? You're still so pushy."
When he arrived in Bicheng, Liu Lan naturally wanted to live in Wenfu.
After everything was tidied up, Liu Lan pointed to a box: "The things inside are all for you."
Wen Siming opened it and saw that it was full of special things from various places: tea from water towns, bone carvings from deserts, wood carvings from Qi country...
Wen Siming said: "This trip is really easy for you."
"Pretty much the whole continent goes around in one circle."
Wen Siming asked again: "Why did you think of traveling early? I remember your father said that you have to wait until you are 15 years old?"
"I just think it's good to go out early, anyway, I have to go this way sooner or later."
"That's right." Wen Siming nodded: "Since we're back in Bicheng, let's stay for a while longer, for a year or so."
Liu Lan refused with a smile: "I can only stay here for a few days, and then I have to go to the capital."
Wen Siming was a little puzzled: "Then what are you in a hurry for?"
Liu Lan smiled and said, "I want to take some gifts back to the Fourth Prince sooner."
When I Returned, Man Xilan's Heartbeat ([-])
"Just for this reason?" Wen Siming yelled strangely: "When can't the gift be delivered?"
Liu Lan explained: "Some things will go bad after a while."
"Then send a few servants to transport it back first."
Liu Lan sighed: "But I want to give it to him myself."
Wen Siming finally heard something was wrong, and looked at Liu Lan strangely: "The more you say this, the more outrageous it is~"
"Where is the outrageous?"
"I never knew you were a person who valued sex over friends." Wen Siming and his brother put Liu Lan's shoulders nicely: "I remember you mentioned the name of the fourth prince in every letter..."
Liu Lan interjected, "I also remember that you changed dozens of brides..."
"That's different!" Wen Siming emphasized: "That's the fourth prince! Everyone says that the fourth prince is arrogant and unreasonable..."
"They were all wrong." Liu Lan said flatly, "They don't even understand."
Looking at Liu Lan's expression, Wen Siming knew that he couldn't persuade him.
Liu Lan looks gentle and elegant, but he is still very stubborn in his bones. If he decides something, he will not turn back.
After Liu Lan returned to the capital, she began to write letters to Wen Siming on time.
Of the three pages, the four princes can take up two pages.
Wen Siming looked at the letter in his hand, and listened to the rumors spread from the capital to Bicheng: all kinds of things between the fourth prince and the young master of the Liu family... Occasionally, he smiled knowingly.
Such days continued until the day when the Liu family incident happened.
It was that incident that made Wen Siming fully understand why Liu Jiyun was so determined back then to move his family to the capital.
Hearing the news of Liu Lan's accident, Wen Siming traveled day and night and rushed to the capital as quickly as possible.
All the shops belonging to Liu's family that I saw along the way were smashed and destroyed, and all the shelves that had been dazzling in the past were all looted...Ven Siming was terrified by all kinds of scenes.
When you arrive in the capital, you can't go to places related to the Liu family. Wen Siming thought about it and went straight to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Then, he met Su Yuzhi at the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The first meeting between two people is actually very bad, a bit like fighting cocks.
Su Yuzhi desperately wanted to maintain his position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but Wen Siming, who had always been used to making publicity, naturally refused to give up an inch.
Amidst the noise, the two saw Su Qizhi together.
Worried about the affairs of the Liu family, Su Qizhi's complexion was not very good.
Su Yuzhi immediately asked Han Wennuan, "Have you eaten?" "Would you like some tea?" "What do you want to eat, tell brother, I'll get it for you..."
Wen Siming looked amused: "I've never seen such a mother-in-law as a brother."
Su Yuzhi raised his head: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Love brother!" Wen Siming snorted coldly.
"That's better than your peacock!" Naturally, Su Yuzhi was not willing to be defeated.
Wen Siming asked about the current progress of the Liu family's case, and Su Yuzhi sneered at the side: "Looking at you, you can only do a disservice!"
When Su Yuzhi mentioned Liu Lan, Wen Siming sneered at the side: "Hypocrisy!"
However, there are a lot of things going on recently, for Su Yuzhi's convenience, Su Qizhi specially prepared a residence for him in the Fourth Prince's Mansion - just next to Wen Siming's.
In this way, the two people met more frequently, and they also disliked each other even more. As soon as they met, wars began to rage.
It caused people around to complain again and again.
Man Xilan's extra heartbeat when returning home ([-])
After a long time, Wen Siming thinks that Su Yuzhi is quite interesting: carefree, when encountering matters related to Su Qizhi, he becomes cautious again, and sometimes he looks silly when doing things... But, sometimes And extraordinarily shrewd...
Sometimes Su Yuzhi was quite generous, and he would ignore the excessive ridicule. Of course, Wen Siming was suspicious of those puns, but the second prince didn't understand.
Looking at Su Yuzhi's various performances, Wen Siming felt that he seemed to have not grown up, and his temper had not yet settled down. Today he likes to go east, and tomorrow he likes to go west. Anyway, he has a noble status, has time and money, and countless servants Spend with him...
There is only one thing: the rumor about Su Qizhi, every time it is mentioned, Su Yuzhi will immediately jump up like fur.Su Yuzhi always supported and trusted his younger brother unconditionally.Although a discerning person can understand at a glance, his younger brother is much more imposing than him in all aspects...
"What do they know?" Su Yuzhi said seriously, "They don't understand my fourth brother at all."
"That's not all people have to know the fourth prince." Wen Siming said: "Many couples who have been together for many years don't know each other, let alone those outsiders?"
"If you don't understand, then don't talk nonsense."
"Yes," Wen Siming quickly echoed: "For example, if I say you love your brother, it's because you really have a little love for your brother..."
"Then you are still a peacock!!" Su Yuzhi stood up, said angrily, and strode away.
Wen Siming looked at his back, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The case of the Liu family is so involved, it seems that a haze hangs over everyone's heart.
Su Qizhi was running around for this case, and his frail body quickly lost weight. Not only did Su Yuzhi's heart skip a beat when he saw that pale face, even Wen Siming's heart palpitations when he saw it.
Bringing a bowl of old ginseng soup and putting it in front of Su Qizhi, Wen Siming persuaded: "This soup is very nourishing for the body, the Fourth Prince must try it."
Su Qizhi looked at the soup bowl and gently pushed it aside: "I don't feel like I have any appetite."
"Then try a little bit," Wen Siming thought for a while, and said, "This soup...Liu Lan used to like to drink it when she was in Bicheng."
Su Qizhi also thought for a while, and finally picked up the soup bowl.
Seeing Su Qizhi finish drinking the soup and put down the soup bowl, Wen Siming asked again: "What happened to the Liu family's case?"
"The situation is not very good." Su Qizhi said: "There are too many people involved, the crimes are too big, and the time is too tight. I seem to have thought of a thousand ways, but I feel that we have nowhere to go."
Wen Siming forced a smile: "It's okay, think slowly, and you will always come up with a solution."
Su Qizhi sighed: "But I'm afraid it will be too late."
It is indeed too late.
Rao Su Qizhi's amazing talent, Rao Wen Siming and Su Yuzhi's full cooperation... Rao the hard work of so many people... In the end, it turned into a sigh, a regret.
The glory of the Liu family was like a flash in the pan in Qingguo's history, and then withered quickly.
All the property of the Liu family was taken to the state treasury, Liu Jiyun was sentenced to death... and Liu Lan... also chose a decisive way...
For a long time after that, Wen Siming
