Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Yan Ci turned his head to look at Yu Qiao. Since the two of them left the dense forest together, Yan Ci always felt that Yu Qiao seemed to be different from before.

At this moment, these words seem to be abrupt, but they seem to be sincere.Yan Ci was slightly silent and stopped talking.

In the sunny season, Yu Qiao stood on the bustling long street with a smile on her face.

Yan Ci's heart froze, but what he thought of was another person.The man also had a pair of handsome eyes.Speaking of it, it is also so beautiful.

Yan Ci smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go. Go and look at the vendors in the market ahead to see if there are any commonly used items to buy."

Yu Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay..."

Yan Ci and Yu Qiao stopped and walked on the busy long street, until they met a small vendor selling rattles, and Yan Ci stopped.

Du Zijin once gave him a rattle, but he left him in the capital mansion. When he came to Languan, he thought that the past was over.

At the end of the fate, I thought I could let go easily, so I came to Languan alone.Unfortunately, I overestimated myself too much.

Thousands of miles away, not only did it not help me let go of that relationship, but it made me miss the other party even more.

In the dead of night, the beautiful dreams that show your thoughts are the deep-seated thoughts that no one can understand.

Yan Ci handed out two copper coins and took the smallest rattle.

Yu Qiao laughed when she saw it, "How can you like this at your age?"

Yan Ci smiled slightly and said, "It's just fun to watch."

Seeing that Yan Ci seemed to have something on his mind, Yu Qiao didn't say any more.He just accompanied Yan Ci around the streets, buying some insignificant things.

Day after day passed, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye.On the day of Liqiu, Yan Ci slept soundly, and the heat subsided, leaving only the cool and peaceful night sky.

Yan Ci had a good night's sleep, and went out of the room to the front hall. This is a compound set up by the local government for officials, and Yu Qiao has been living here with her for the past few months.

The setting and direction of the courtyard are similar to those of the number one scholar's mansion in the capital.

Nowadays, most of the master craftsmen responsible for garden construction learn from each other, which makes Yan Ci feel familiar and friendly.

Walking through a long verandah, there is the flower hall. Yan Ci just stepped in, and then stopped.

He looked at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the flower hall.I haven't seen him for a few months, but the man seems to have lost a lot of weight. A long robe with dark cloud patterns and carved silk brocade, with a line of tears running down Yan Ci's face, seems to have roots on the soles of his feet, and he can no longer move. Sound, turn around.

Although it was not like the last time we met in a hurry in the dense forest, Du Zijin's beard was shaved clean, but he still felt tired from running around.

Du Zijin walked slowly in front of Yan Ci, stretched out his hand to wipe off the tears on Yan Ci's face, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying again?"

With Yan Ci's familiar temperature, his fingertips lightly touched Yan Ci's skin, like Luo Tie that had been scorched by fire. The strong emotions suppressed by Yan Ci's self-assessment seemed to be summoned with that light touch.Craziness grew in Yan Ci's heart.

"You... why are you here?" Yan Ci asked, tears rolled down again.

"Because I miss you so much. That's why I came here. I can only stay here for one day, and I have to go back before dark." Du Zijin took the trouble to wipe Yan Ci's continuous tears.

"Why didn't you wake me up." Yan Ci's eyes were red, there was only one day, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.

"Reluctance." Du Zijin smiled slightly, her own eyes blushing.

Both will look at each other, and neither will say a word.After about a quarter of an hour, Du Zijin just asked, "I came here overnight, and I haven't eaten yet, can Ah Ci accompany me to eat something?"

"En." Yan Ci nodded, but tears splashed down like a handful of broken beads.All the tortuous emotions in my heart collapsed and out of control with the appearance of the person in front of me.

Du Zijin lowered his head gently, put his forehead against Yan Ci's brow, and said, "Good Ci. Stop crying. Once you shed tears, my heart will die of pain. I promise you. Within three days Within a month, I will definitely take you back to Beijing."

Yan Ci gently raised his hand. He seldom took the initiative to do anything to Du Zijin, but at this moment he stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Zijin's wide robe sleeve, his voice was slightly broken because of crying, and said, "I want to drink red bean porridge .”

Du Zijin kissed Yan Ci lightly on the chin, and said, "Okay, have red bean porridge."

After Du Zijin finished speaking, Yan Ci still did not move. The two stood on the flower hall, and time passed slowly in the silent silence.

After a long time, Du Zijin raised his head slightly and led Yan Ci to the side hall.A yamen servant in the state capital had prepared meals a long time ago, and Du Zijin, already a crown prince, came to such a bitter and cold place.

The yamen servants tried their best to show their skills, so when Yan Ci entered the side hall, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "A lot of eccentric servants, why don't the food cook so deliciously on weekdays."

There was a boy in the kitchen who was in charge of the spoon. He immediately lost his face when he heard the words, and said, "Yo, Master Yan, you are really wronged. Your appetite is always not good, and the villain weighs your appetite. Good. So the diet is inevitably lighter.

Today, after ordering, I only mentioned a few dishes that you would like to eat, and the little ones made them carefully. Don't worry, the little ones will write down the names of these dishes in the future, and they will be indispensable every day.No more suffering for grown-ups. "

"Don't tell me, my lord. Don't you know how to ask? You are a rigid slave." Du Zijin scolded with a smile.

The young man scratched his head and said, "Hey, my Highness the Crown Prince. You guys are not hard-hearted, so why don't you know how to ask? During the past few months since your lord took office, you are getting worse every day. Thin, me and the big brother of the cook are almost dying of worry."

The boy said helplessly, "But, the little ones asked and asked, guessed, and the adults didn't say which ones they like to eat. The adults can't eat anything."

Yan Ci smiled from the side, "Okay, I just said something, look at you, you shouted loudly, and I didn't say anything, but you are suing me here."

The little servant hastily made a bow and said with a smile, "The villain dare not, the villain dare not."

Seeing that Yan Ci was in a good mood, Du Zijin said, "Okay, okay. You will write down today's dishes in the future and cook them well. When the king comes next time, if Master Yan is fatter than today If there are some, this king will reward you heavily."

The young man had looked at the two of them a long time ago, and felt that after the golden and precious crown prince came down, Mr. Yan seemed to be a dead tree in spring, and in a blink of an eye he regained his vitality, and saw that the crown prince came all the way to this remote place , and asked him to take care of him in every possible way, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Master Yan looked at the clouds and the wind, but he didn't expect to be such a powerful character. He climbed such a high position as His Royal Highness, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in this Languan for too long. .

The little servant changed his mind, saluted, and said, "Yes, yes. Don't worry, Your Highness. I promise that Lord Yan will be much fatter when His Highness the Crown Prince comes next time. Your Highness and Your Excellency will invite you to dinner first. What is your order?" Just give orders. The little ones will leave first."

Du Zijin was very satisfied with this clever boy, nodded with a smile, and pulled Yan Ci to sit down at the round table.

Holding the spoon in his own hands, he served Yan Ci a bowl of red bean porridge.The plump beans were boiled together with red dates for an hour. They were soft and delicious, nourishing the stomach and nourishing the body. Yan Ci reached out to get the spoon, but Du Zijin snatched it away.

Nine folds of the brocade screen depicting emerald greens surround the small table into a separate space. Several branches of begonias are inserted obliquely in the vase next to it. It looks a little clear, but it looks very good.

Yan Ci was seriously fed half a bowl of red bean porridge by Du Zijin, and then he stuffed a few mouthfuls of chicken strips in ginger sauce before he stopped.

Yan Ci wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief himself, while Du Zijin was eating the porridge that Yan Ci had not finished with the bowl and spoon that Yan Ci had just used.

"Could it be that what happened in Beijing is extremely dangerous?" Yan Ci tried his best to make a small talk.

Du Zijin raised his neck and drank the porridge in the bowl upside down.Satisfied, he smiled and said, "Where Ah Ci is, even the red beans grow exceptionally well. I don't know if it's because Ah Ci misses me too much."

Yan Ci blushed, and said, "Your Highness is also a person of Wen Tao and Wu Lue, why can't you tell the difference between red beans for cooking porridge and red beans for lovesickness?"

Du Zijin just smiled and didn't speak. After watching Yan Ci's face getting redder and redder for a long time, he was afraid that he was going to be annoyed. Then he became serious and said, "It is dangerous to seek power and usurp the throne. But since I am the prince , whether it's for Ah Ci or for the common people in the world. Either way, I can no longer let my father stay in that position."

Yan Ci turned his head to look at Du Zijin, his expression was a bit twitchy, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked, "You... you took Ye An with you, is it because...to prevent me from..."

The conversation he heard that day really made Yan Ci unable to let go. He would rather leave himself alone than let Ye An be by his side.He...how did he figure out all the secrets.

Du Zijin didn't seem to be surprised. Yan Ci asked him this way, as long as he expected.

Du Zijin suddenly leaned forward and asked, "What do you think, Ah Ci? How do you think I treat you? Do you think I am such a cruel person?"

The aroma of ambergris always seems to make Yan Ci feel psychedelic, and Yan Ci only feels dizzy one after another. When he is by his side, especially the distance between breaths can be felt.He can always lose his thinking ability in an instant.

Yan Ci retreated instinctively, supported the back of the chair, and stammered, "I...I don't know. I think you treat me. No...you shouldn't be so cruel."

Du Zijin suddenly smiled and said, "Well, Ah Ci's words don't make me sad, but as for what you heard that day, Ah Ci should just look at you. I suddenly remembered that if I wanted to save Ye An, let him stay by your side, and I lost my life in this palace change, maybe it can make Ah Ci miss me all his life.

This method is not bad.As for which method to use, it depends on what I think when my life is really hanging by a thread. "

Yan Ci swallowed his saliva and looked at Du Zijin speechless. If the person in front of him died, would he still have the courage to live in this joyless world?

Tears slowly welled up in Yan Ci's eyes.Feeling uneasy for a moment, but just gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Du Zijin lowered his head and reached out to grab Yan Ci's hand, and asked softly, "Are you scared? Why are your hands so cold?"
