Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Yan Ci sat on the carriage leaving Beijing with a clear mind.The carriage rumbled away, as if singing a sad parting song.

Yan Ci sat in the carriage, gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the sky with white clouds floating in the capital.

These days, he spends quite a lot of time in the carriage.The trees growing between the banks have already grown verdant and luxuriant in this season.Among the lush trees, there is a faint fragrance of green grass.

Yan Ci looked around and gently lowered the curtain of the carriage.He took out a book from the package and read it.

The carriage drove for another hour, and it had already arrived at Yanyuepo outside the south city. The bearer who was driving the carriage let out a long shout, and the carriage was pulled to a stop immediately.

Soon, the coachman returned from outside the carriage and said, "My lord, Master Ruan is here to see you off."

Yan Ci was taken aback, he had just entered the court as an official, and he boldly said that officials in Beijing, no matter how big or small, seldom interacted with him after he was relegated.I never imagined that Mr. Ruan would be willing to come and see him off when he was in such a situation.

Yan resigned from the carriage, and saw a thin figure on the slope, as thin as a bamboo shadow.Leading the horse and standing under the shade of the tree, with fluttering robes, like a heavenly being.

Yan Ci wore a lavender official uniform today, and his demeanor remained undiminished and added to his charm.

Yan Ci got off the carriage and walked slowly up the slope.But Ruan Wenyan led the horse and watched Yan Ci silently.Yan Ci stood half a step away from Ruan Wenyan, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ruan, how are you doing now?"

"Not good." Ruan Wenyan replied, his eyes were fixed on Yan Ci, his tears flowed, but he was about to shed tears.

Yan Ci had a lot of affection for Ruan Wenyan. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help worrying, "What's wrong with Brother Ruan? Why are you so wronged?"

It’s okay if Yan Ci didn’t say anything, but after Yan Ci said it, Ruan Wenyan’s tears kept falling like broken beads, Yan Ci was flustered, and hurriedly asked, “Brother Ruan, what is the unspeakable suffering? ?”

Ruan Wenyan pushed away Yan Ci's hand that was helping him, and said, "Even if I tell you that there is unspeakable suffering, Lord Yan may not be able to save me!"

Yan Ci was taken aback, he had rarely seen Ruan Wenyan like this, and couldn't help saying, "Brother Ruan said yes. Yan is demoted now, but he is just a fifth-rank official who is released from the district. What power does he have to help Ruan? brother."

Yan Ci paused for a moment, then continued, "But even if you can't help much, you can still be a listener to Brother Ruan. Brother Ruan, why don't you come and listen, at least let Yan know about Brother Ruan's suffering."

Ruan Wenyan walked a few steps to the side, and there were a few lush willow trees mixed in the lush forest. Ruan Wenyan picked a beautiful thin willow branch, folded it off gently, and walked in front of Yan Ci.

"I bid farewell today. I don't know when I can see you again. I hope you will cherish this willow farewell."

Ruan Wenyan handed the willow branch to Yan Ci, and when Yan Ci reached out to take it, Ruan Wenyan did not let go.

Yan Ci was puzzled, so he looked up to see Ruan Wenyan's expression, only to see that Ruan Wenyan's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.Tears fell on Yan Ci's hands drop by drop.

"Brother Ruan, what are you—" Yan Ci was puzzled, so he asked aloud.

Ruan Wenyan was caught by Yan Ci's questioning, and just now he let go of his hand, but suddenly he rushed forward and hugged Yan Ci. He was already slightly shorter than Yan Ci, and he was born extraordinarily thin, and at this moment he was even more like a woman Crouching in front of Yan Ci's chest, Yan Ci was in a hurry, and he couldn't help patting Ruan Wenyan's back lightly, comforting him, "Brother Ruan, what are you doing? Don't cry anymore, don't hurt your eyes. This will be a day The head is big, so what should I do if I catch the heat."

Ruan Wenyan was only lying in Yan Ci's arms, crying loudly and intermittently, until Yan Ci's clothes were wet, then Ruan Wenyan raised his head from Yan Ci's arms, but his eyes were a little more serious, and said, "My lord, do you want Ruan to go with you?"

That Ruan Wenyan is also a high-quality official of the court, so he can go wherever he wants, Yan Ci said with a smile, "Brother Ruan, why are you making such a joke? Yan is going here, it is a place of bitter cold, Yueling Languan. It's not a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. You are an official of the imperial court, so how can you go away with me?"

Ruan Wenyan raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and said, "What if I resign and go with my lord?"

Yan Ci smiled and said, "Brother Ruan was joking, okay, why did Brother Ruan resign and follow me to that kind of place?"

But Ruan Wenyan suddenly became anxious, and said, "How can I live well, how can I live well, you are not in the capital for three days, how can I live well!"

White clouds rolled in the sky and willow leaves fluttered on the ground. Yan Ci could only feel a thunderclap in the blue sky and white day. Ruan Wenyan had seen the emotion in his eyes before.

When facing that person, he himself is the same.I often feel wronged, and I often feel that even if I have no worries about food and clothing, I can't live the rest of my life well.

Yan Ci paused, and said, "Brother Ruan. Could it be that you...to me..." Yan Ci didn't know how to speak so as to prevent the other party from being hurt. Ruan Wenyan was kind-hearted and didn't ask for much.

Today, when he was about to leave, he mustered up the courage to come and see him off. Yan Ci didn't know how to explain it for a while, and it was hard to judge with common sense about emotional matters.Now that the situation is like this, how can he speak.

Ruan Wenyan made up his mind, wiped away his tears, and said, "My lord, I have known each other in the Golden Palace. Your words, deeds, deeds, and appearance are all carved into my heart. Now that we are parting, I don't know when we will see you again. If your lord If you are willing, Wen Yan will resign now and accompany you to Languan."

Yan Ci sighed softly, why is the fate of the world so wonderful? He thought that he had hurt Du Zijin's heart alone, but he didn't want to, but created another karma.Yan Ci smiled and said, "Brother Ruan, what was the purpose of studying in the first place?" Yan Ci asked.

"Get fame and fame. Benefit the people." Ruan Wenyan replied, and then added another sentence before Yan Ci spoke, "But, that was the idea when I was studying. Nowadays, classical Chinese is only willing to follow the adults. What benefits the people, I don't even know." I'm having a bad time myself."

"What is Yan's virtue and how can he win Brother Ruan's favor? It's just that Yan Zuoqian has already offended the emperor, so how dare he bring Brother Ruan with him? If His Majesty makes other orders one day, won't it implicate Ruan? Brother is involved with me."

"No. I'm not afraid. All I want is a word from Lord Yan. As long as... as long as you nod your head and let me follow you, you will not be afraid of classical Chinese."

Ruan Wenyan looked flimsy, but at the moment he was rather determined. Yan Ci only felt guilty in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. At this moment, he weighed it a little and said, "Yan, I'm sorry."

That Ruan Wenyan took a step back, and suddenly smiled wryly, tears streaming down his face, but he just gently wiped his sleeves, "I'm overthinking myself, a man as rich and handsome as your lord is only as good as His Royal Highness To be able to match it, classical Chinese is arrogant."

"No, it's not." Seeing Ruan Wenyan's words, Yan Ci belittled himself. For a moment, he only felt that he had sinned a lot, and why he hurt people's hearts. What a blessing, Yan Mou really doesn't want to miss Brother Ruan's life. What's more, if there is an opportunity, Yan Mou will definitely return to the capital. Why don't Brother Ruan stay in the capital and wait quietly, so that Brother Ruan's safety can be guaranteed. Secondly, it can also save me from worrying about it next time, Brother Ruan, just treat it as loving me."

"Okay. Okay. I won't force you. I'll wait for you in Beijing. But you have to keep your word and remember that when the time comes, please come back quickly." Ruan Wenyan asked aloud.

"Well, don't worry, brother Ruan, I will definitely return on time, and please take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Although it's just a tactic to delay the attack, it's better than letting Ruan Wenyan be heartbroken for a while, or follow him to Languan and take a life.

"It's getting late, my lord, let's go. The journey is long, my lord, take care."

Ruan Wenyan stopped the tears, and earnestly asked, like a virtuous wife entrusting a husband who is going to war.

Yan Ci felt quite guilty, but there was no other way, so he cupped his hands lightly, turned around and left, leaving Ruan Wenyan standing under the shade of a tree, weeping loudly.

Some people don't even know how important their own existence is to another person.

Yan Ci was sitting in the carriage, chanting the Buddha's name all the time, and only hoped that Ruan Wenyan could put it down, and if he left, his life would be a great gift, so how could he have the chance to return to Beijing.Yan Ci closed his eyes and only said Amitabha.

The carriage drove towards the distance, and the capital city became a landscape, and was left behind. Yan Ci only felt extremely tired, so he closed his eyes and rested on the carriage.

Not long after, the sky gradually darkened, the coachman said, "My lord, there is an inn in front, it's getting late today, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the inn, why don't we stay in front."

Yan Ci didn't care about anything at all, and said, "Stay over there, and I will trouble the elder brother to feed the horses later, so as to avoid delaying the journey tomorrow."

"Come on, don't worry." The driver raised his whip and urged the horse.The carriage rushed towards the inn.

The shopkeeper of the inn is a very lively person. When he saw Yan Ci coming in, he rushed forward in a panic and said, "Hey, this guest officer, do you want to stay at the inn or not?"

"Stay in the hotel, please arrange it with the younger brother."

The person in the showcase said with a smile, "Hey, unfortunately, the guest room has already been taken up by an adult, but that adult is quite good-tempered. Let me tell you something, maybe I can free up a room." Here you are. Sit here for a while and wait for a while."

"Please trouble me, little brother. Thank you." Yan Ci sat down at a square table, slowly drinking a cup of tea.

Suddenly there was a voice from the stairs behind him, and he said with a smile, "Who am I supposed to be, so it's Brother Yan."

Yan Ci turned his head, only to see that man's face was like a crown of jade, and he was dressed in a purple brocade suit.There was a bit of elegance in his demeanor, but Yan Ci couldn't help but laugh when seeing her again in such a situation.
