Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

"Okay." Du Zijin nodded slightly, "As you said."

Yan Ci smiled and stopped talking. The two walked along the grass, bypassed a boulder, and walked forward for about a hundred steps. A lake can be glimpsed faintly, sparkling in the sunlight, extremely beautiful.

Du Zijin pointed to Yan Ci, "That's the White Crane Valley. I'll take you to see the beauty of it."

Yan Ci followed Du Zijin and walked over quickly, only to see countless wild peach trees growing between the banks of the lake, the world is full of fragrance in April, but the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom in the mountains.

Yan Ci stood with Du Zijin on a high raised earthen platform on the bank, next to a big peach tree, with its tall and straight branches growing proudly.

"Does this lake have a name?" Yan Ci asked again.

"Because the Piaoquan water gradually flows here. Everyone calls it Piaowei Lake." Du Zijin explained.

At this moment, the breeze blew, and the peach blossoms fell, and the shoulders and bodies of the two were stained with crimson flowers.Yan Ci reached out to pick a petal on his forehead, but Du Zijin suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Don't move." Du Zijin said.All the breath that came out fell on Yan Ci's face.In just a moment, Yan Ci's face turned red as if the sky was full of clouds and flying clouds.

The petals fell lightly and impartially, just right between Yan Ci's eyebrows.Yan Ci's complexion is fair, and the pink petals between his eyebrows are a perfect match.

Du Zijin looked at Yan Ci for a moment, only to see Yan Ci was dressed in white clothes that were more snowy than snow, and his black hair was flying.

The eyebrows are beautiful and picturesque, and this piece of petals is like the flower tin used to decorate the forehead of a woman, but it is more natural and elegant than ordinary flower tin.

She couldn't help laughing, "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to send a painting to my house. Just wait and see if my painting is good."

Seeing Du Zijin let go of his hand, Yan Ci gently removed the petals between his foreheads and said, "Your Highness's paintings are naturally excellent."

Du Zijin smiled without saying a word, and the two stood by the lake with their hands behind their hands, watching the water reflect the sunlight.Unparalleled.

"Yesterday, on the way back, I talked to Ye An about Shangyang Academy." Yan Ci turned to look at Du Zijin slightly, and said, "I still need to trouble your Highness to write a handwritten letter, and I will send him there .”

"Oh? He's willing to part with you?" Du Zijin seemed to be in a good mood, "The handwriting will be sent over tomorrow together with the picture of the beauty facing the lake."

Yan Ci paused, "Beauty... uh." His face was full of clouds, and Yan Ci only felt that something had been hit in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed, and hurriedly said something else, "Ye An said. As long as you can He is willing to go. In addition, he also wants Ah Jiu to teach him Kung Fu. He said that it will benefit the common people in the future."

"Hahaha." Du Zijin laughed when he heard the words, "Okay. I didn't expect him to be so ambitious at such a young age. He is indeed your cousin. Don't say Ah Jiu taught him, even if I taught him personally So what the hell."

Yan Ci bowed his hands to Du Zijin and said, "That's it, thank you Your Highness."

Du Zijin looked at Yan Ci, just smiled and said nothing.All of a sudden, the flowers are flying and the red is falling, and the flowing water is gurgling.

In the distance, a white crane drank enough water from the lake, and with a cry, it flew straight to the sky.Looking at Du Zijin, Yan Ci felt that this person was painting himself, but he didn't know that he was going to paint someone else.Feeling emotional for a moment, he just looked at Du Zijin with a smile.

The two were speechless for a while, and the mountain was silent.People's hearts have changed.But they don't know it.

On this day, the two of them walked to the sky and went back to the house in a carriage.When Yan Ci was sent back to the mansion, Du Zijin called Ah Jiu into the carriage, closed his eyes and said, "Don't kill him."

Ah Jiu remembered that on the day at Zhenxiu Pavilion, Du Zijin had asked herself.If one day, he lost his sense of propriety because of Yan Ci.Let yourself kill Yan Ci with your own hands.At this moment, what Du Zijin said, Ah Jiu immediately understood, "Yes!"

Du Zijin opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said, "Not only don't kill him, but also, if one day, I suffer at the same time as him. You should abandon me to protect him. Do you remember?"

"Your Highness!" Shocked, Ah Jiu knelt down on one knee and said, "Think twice, Your Highness."

Du Zijin signaled Ah Jiu to get up, and smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid it's useless to think about it for a long time. It's the most unreasonable thing to be willing to do this kind of thing. Don't you even listen to my words?"

Ah Jiu bit her cheeks tightly, and squeezed out a sound from between her teeth, "Yes. This subordinate obeys."

"Go on." Du Zijin leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and closed his eyes slightly.My mind is always under the peach blossom tree, beside the Piaowei Lake.

The man in white clothes is better than snow.Ink hair flying.There is a little pink petal between the eyebrows, standing quietly, like a Bodhisattva who saves all living beings.

Over the years, Du Zijin had never shown any sincerity to anyone.I also often feel lonely in life, and at this moment I have something to worry about, and suddenly feel that that person may really be a Bodhisattva.Come and cross this world of mortals by yourself.

When Yan Ci returned to the mansion, he saw Ye An was meditating in the yard with a book in his hand, he couldn't help but walked over with a smile, and asked, "But what's the problem?"

Ye An opened his eyes and saw that it was Yan Ci, and immediately threw away the book, hugged Yan Ci and said, "Brother is back."

Yan Ci sat down with a smile and nodded, picked up the book Ye An was reading, saw that it was "The Analects of Confucius", and asked, "Where have you read it?"

Ye An pointed to one of the sentences, parents are here, if you don't travel far, you must travel well.Said, "I read this sentence."

Yan Ci asked, "Do you know what it means?"

Ye An lay on Yan Ci's back, with his cheek against Yan Ci's spine, and said softly, "It means, to Ye An, his brother is still at home. Ye An should not go to Shangyang Academy to study."

Yan Ci rolled up the book, knocked Ye An's head backwards, and said, "What nonsense. I have already made an agreement with His Royal Highness. You can get His Highness's handwriting tomorrow. I will send you there the day after tomorrow. Brother Don't let your heart down.

The masters there are all people who have read poetry and books. You must work hard to make progress.You are a student introduced by the prince, so don't embarrass His Highness the prince. "

Ye An lay on Yan Ci's back. Hearing what Yan Ci said, he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly. A tear flowed down the corner of Ye An's eyes and onto Yan Ci's back, "Ye An knows."

Although Ye An agreed in his mouth, he secretly made up his mind in his heart.One day, he must surpass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.No longer let his brother.Look at His Highness's face everywhere.

Yan Ci carried Ye An on his back, only feeling heavy on his body, but quite comfortable in his heart.After asking Ye An about some food and clothing expenses, the two went to the house together.

On the second day, Yan Ci got up early to enter the court. Before dawn, Uncle Zhong got up to wait for Yan Ci to freshen up and change the court clothes.

When Uncle Zhong came in, he held a box in his hand and said, "My lord, this was just delivered by someone from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Just take a look."

Yan Ci opened the long box, only to see that there was indeed a pair of scrolls and a letter inside.

Yan Ci opened the letter.Seeing that it was Du Zijin who deliberately asked the director of Shangyang Academy to pay attention to Ye An's homework, and if there was any abnormality, he needed to report it to him and so on.

Yan Ci put down the letter, and went to get the scroll, the first-class rice paper and the first-class pen and ink.

The first-class painters saw the person in the painting, standing quietly under the peach blossom tree like an exiled fairy, with a peach petal between his eyebrows, just the right style but not half gaudy.

Yan Ci couldn't help laughing, "Put this painting away. I'll go to court. If Ye An gets up, just let him eat first, don't worry about me."

"Yes." Uncle Zhong replied, "Young master will go to school tomorrow. The villain is planning to lead him to buy some things today. Does Your Highness have any instructions?"

Yan Ci smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong is the most careful person. I can't think of anything that Uncle Zhong can't think of. You can make up your own mind. You can also ask Ye An what he means. Don't let him be wronged."

"Yes." Uncle Zhong replied, "The villain can save you."

After Yan resigned from the palace, Uncle Zhong packed up everything and was about to go to the kitchen to cook. He happened to meet Ye An who had gotten up, and said, "Young master is awake. Just wait, I'll clean your face water."

Ye An just woke up, rubbing his eyes and asking, "What is Uncle Zhong holding in his arms. Show me."

As Ye An spoke, he walked forward. Uncle Zhong thought that there was nothing special on the left and right, so he passed the long box over and said, "There is nothing, the crown prince sent it, a piece of admission paper for the young master."

Ye An grabbed the scroll first, opened it, and said, "What is this?"

When the scroll was opened and the person in the painting came into view, Ye An couldn't help saying, "Oh, why does this Bodhisattva look like my elder brother!"

Uncle Zhong also turned his head to look at the person in the painting, and saw that he was dressed like the Bodhisattva in the temple. He couldn't help saying, "Sure enough. There are words below. Take a look..."

Ye An whispered, "The Year of the Snake is the year of Guisi. On the seventh day of April, you will visit the Miao'en Ladle Spring and meet the immortals near the lake. I hereby write this as a reminder of the fleeting years." The signature was stamped with the prince's private seal.The redness stung Ye An's eyes.

Ye An quickly rolled up the scroll, stuffed it into Uncle Zhong's arms, and said, "Put it away quickly. Don't call me for breakfast. I don't have a good appetite today. I won't eat..."

"Master Ye An. Master Ye An." Uncle Zhong shook his head helplessly, feeling that Ye An had a childish temper.I don't know what's wrong.

Early the next morning, Yan Ci came back from the morning court and dragged Ye An to the school.Yan Ci was the number one scholar in the dynasty, and with Du Zijin's handwriting on his body, Ye An was taken in by the court official without further delay.

Ye An only looked at Yan Ci and said, "Brother, go back now. Ye An won't let my brother be ashamed."

Yan Ci watched Ye An go in with satisfaction, before turning back to the carriage.Let the coachman drive the carriage all the way to the direction of the Prince's Mansion. Today's work is done, and he wants to thank him face to face.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the guards of the Prince's Mansion knew that His Royal Highness came in and took a fancy to the No. [-] Scholar, so they said, "Master Yan, please sit in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and the villain will go to inform the Lord. "

Yan Ci smiled and nodded. There was indeed a small pavilion in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, and Yan Ci walked towards the small pavilion.

In the late spring of April, the vegetation in the courtyard is flourishing.The figure stands in it, if you don't elaborate, it will be difficult to distinguish.

Yan Ci saw a colony of ants coming and going next to an ant nest, and couldn't help being curious, so he squatted down to watch the colony of ants coming and going, but he heard the sound of people approaching in the distance, and just as Yan Ci was about to get up, he heard it was Ah Jiu The voice mentioned his name.

"Your Highness, the poison on Lord Yan Ci's body. When do you plan to cure him?" Ah Jiu knew that Du Zijin's mind towards Yan Ci had changed, so naturally His Royal Highness would no longer use Lord Yan's body as restraint.

poison?Suddenly a thunderbolt came from the blue sky.Before Yan Ci came back to his senses, he heard Du Zijin say, "The reason why I poisoned him that day was because—"

"Mr. Yan, why are you here!" The guard looked around for Du Zijin, and just saw it here, but he didn't want Yan Ci to squat here too.
