Looking at the bright moon

Not long after, Xu Hancheng mentioned to Wen Mingyu what Sheng Huan did that day, and described everything in detail, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

According to him, Sheng Huan not only settled Zhao Siniang's debts neatly, but also redeemed his good friend and his sister.The madam of the two brothers and sisters refused to let them go, and quoted an unreasonable price, but Sheng Huan let them detain her, and asked her to use an arm to make up for the harsh treatment of Jiang Li and his sister. Out of courage, the original price gave up the two siblings.

Hearing what Xu Hancheng said, Wen Mingyu put down the half-drinked medicine and interrupted him: "But he dared to be so bold after giving him four people. Hancheng, did you say something more to him?"

"I dare to say anything." Xu Hancheng looked at him like this, even if he did not say anything, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Young master has done things cleanly, making the two people in Chunhua Lane think that he has a powerful backer , dare not pursue it lightly. As for the identity of this backer, even if they search for it for a lifetime, they will not be able to find it."

Wen Mingyu sneered and said, "Did I promise to be his backer?"

Xu Hancheng has been with Wen Mingyu for more than [-] years, and he is no longer afraid of him like others. He only said: "Young master didn't recognize you as his backer. He still borrowed money from me for hiring thugs. The third master wants to make peace with you." It would be too stingy for a child to care about this."

Wen Mingyu was not angry at being accused by his subordinates like this.He closed his eyes, propped his head on one hand, slowly rubbed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "You like him."

Xu Hancheng hesitated to speak, finally smiled and said, "It's not easy for that child."

He waited for a while, seeing that Wen Mingyu didn't express anything, he tentatively said a word: "Young master looks introverted, but he is actually a person who can handle it well, and it is very suitable for our line of work." A casual demeanor: "What he is suitable for is his business, and you are too lenient."

Wen Mingyu only asked these few questions, and didn't mention Shenghuan again.Xu Han wanted to ease the relationship between the father and son, but it was difficult to speak - he knew the reason for Wen Mingyu's estrangement from Shenghuan, and anyone who had experienced such a thing could not help it.Sheng Huan was indeed pitiful, but Xu Hancheng grew up with Wen Mingyu, and his heart would naturally be partial to this young master. Even if he knew that Sheng Huan would continue to be neglected, he couldn't bear to expose Wen Mingyu's scars.

Not long after, Sheng Welcomed his first New Year in Longyuan.

The intermittent sound of firecrackers woke him up from his dream. Shenghuan didn't sleep very well last night, having nightmares over and over again, so that he couldn't help but fell down when he just opened his eyes, hiding in the quilt and not wanting to move.

If it were changed to Chunhua Lane, on New Year's Eve, you would hear firecrackers crackling and crackling, but Longyuan was quiet, but after a few perfunctory rings, it was the voices of people who made the noise again.Sheng Huan didn't need to get up to know that it was the servants in other yards who were busy, maybe they were preparing a banquet, or maybe they were cleaning the road, but it was all bustle that had nothing to do with him.

Mama Zhang knocked on the door soon after, she was dressed up very energetically, with a smile on her face, she greeted Sheng Huan as soon as she opened her mouth.

According to the usual practice, if a servant speaks auspicious words in front of his master on this day, he can get a lot of rewards.But Sheng Huan was new here and didn't understand this rule, so he didn't mention a word. Zhang Ma didn't expect the young master to show anything, but just said a few words to make Sheng Huan happy.

While preparing the new clothes for Sheng Huan, Zhang Ma said in a fluttering voice: "Young master, after you have had breakfast, go and pay New Year's greetings to the young master. Although the young master has not ordered this matter, as a junior, You should abide by this rule, even if you don’t say anything, it’s good to let him know that you have this intention.”

This was the third time Zhang's mother brought up this matter after she came in. Even today, she still feels that there are no fathers and sons who are not on a blind date, so she tried her best to persuade Sheng Huan to please Wen Mingyu.Sheng Huan used to pretend that he didn't hear it, but now that the season is special, he couldn't help secretly contradicting it.

Because of Wen Mingyu, he lived a happy life in Longyuan for several months without worrying about food and clothing. If he didn't even say hello on this day, he really seemed too ignorant.But Wen Mingyu didn't like him so much, if he went, he was afraid that it would ruin the other party's interest, Sheng Huan just thought about it, and felt that he was particularly annoying.

With such doubts in his arms, he finally walked out of Beiyuan.Just passing by the main entrance, I suddenly heard a clear and clear voice saying cheerfully: "Miss Fifth is back!"

This sentence immediately caused a lot of excitement, many servants rushed outside, long and short yells mixed with the sound of car horns, the scene was almost the same as when Wen Mingyu returned home.Sheng Huan was a little curious about the title "Miss Fifth", so he stopped and watched for a while, and saw the servants huddled outside the gate scattered, and there was a sound of rattling leather shoes from far to near, a slender and tall woman was Surrounded by back and forth, they walked in his direction.

This woman is very young, with long hair coiled up, wearing a snow-blue cheongsam with a coat draped between her elbows.She has black eyebrows like double crescents, and her eyes are watery, as if she has a bit of resentment, but when she smiles, her face immediately looks like a white hibiscus in full bloom, extremely bright and beautiful.

After talking to the steward for a few words, the woman suddenly turned her head and saw Sheng Huan standing behind the pillar. She stopped, pointed at him and asked curiously, "Who is that?"

The butler also noticed Sheng Huan, and frowned slightly at him, a little displeased, and soon put on a smile again, and replied to the woman: "Miss Fifth, he is the young master's child."

The woman let out an ah, showing a slightly surprised expression.Sheng Huan became the focus of their attention for no reason, felt very uncomfortable, and immediately took a few steps back and fled.His behavior was quite disrespectful, and the housekeeper said awkwardly: "Young master is afraid of strangers, I am embarrassed to see you."

"It's not someone who was disciplined by the third brother." The woman smiled, as if she had already understood the origin of Sheng Huan: "Let the servants put the luggage in my room, and you take me to see the third brother Bar."

Mr. Wen had five children in total. The eldest died suddenly, the second died young, and the fourth died in the hands of his brothers. Only Wen Mingyu and Wen Peiling were left.However, this fifth young lady is not used to loving her family very much, she lives in Yungang all year round, and only returns to Yancheng at the end of the year, so naturally she can't get close to her brother.

It's just that this estrangement doesn't mean how bad their relationship is, but the tacit understanding between the two brothers and sisters.Wen Peiling knew that her elder brother had a heart that couldn't be warmed up since she was a child, and she would get bored if she walked around in front of him every day, so she spontaneously moved to another city.She spends her days in Yungang, has a lot of male friends, and is backed by her elder brother's power, so she is naturally reluctant to go back to her hometown.

When Wen Peiling saw her elder brother, he was talking with two subordinates in the reception room.Probably because of the Chinese New Year, Wen Mingyu seldom drank some wine, leaned on the sofa as if without bones, and played with an empty cup slowly.This posture, which looks very lazy on ordinary people, has a special kind of coquettishness when it is done by Wen Mingyu. Wen Peiling can't help sighing after a long time: such a good-looking man, it's a pity that he is her own brother.

Seeing Wen Peiling walking in, Wen Mingyu didn't seem surprised at all, and only smiled slightly.The smile was neither intimate nor warm, but the "experienced" Wen Peiling was caught by those deep phoenix eyes, her heart jumped suddenly, her cheeks flushed like a girl, and she whispered angrily: " Third brother, you really haven't changed at all!"

Wen Mingyu smiled and said: "Should I take this sentence as a compliment?" He waved his hand, and the two men behind him bowed to him, turned and left together.

After all these years, Wen Peiling was still a little afraid of being alone with this elder brother.She took her seat gracefully, took a cup of tea from Wen Mingyu, and said jokingly: "How dare you work hard, I haven't seen you for so long, I should be the one who serves tea to third brother."

In this host-guest atmosphere, as an elder, Wen Mingyu briefly asked about the younger sister's recent life.Wen Peiling didn't dare to talk about her romantic affairs in front of the third brother, but she had nothing to say other than these things, so she took the initiative to change the subject: "Is Yongtang not here?"

Mentioning Yongtang, Wen Mingyu's smile finally became a little more real, and he replied: "He has troubled me all morning, and he is probably in the yard now, saying that he is going to build a snowman."

For this nephew, Wen Peiling actually has the same worries as Xu Hancheng. The elder brother is such a powerful person, but the child he taught is an ignorant young master, and Wen Mingyu herself has no plans to marry a wife. Who will inherit the country that has been built with great effort?

Thinking of this, a face suddenly flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Third brother, when I came, I saw a young man..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Mingyu suddenly got up and walked out the door.

In fact, Sheng Huan didn't want to eavesdrop, he hesitated for a long time in Dongyuan alone, and finally summoned up the courage to say hello to Wen Mingyu.Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard the other party's voice from the window, firecrackers exploded in his mind, and he completely forgot what to do next.

Since that incident happened, he never had contact with Wen Mingyu again.As soon as Sheng Huan saw the other person's face, she would uncontrollably think of that night.At first he thought he was just ashamed, but after having a weird dream, Sheng Huan realized that the truth was far from that simple.

After waking up from the dream, Sheng Huan changed into the sweaty pajamas in a daze, then secretly burned them all, and spent the rest of the night with his eyes open.This dream is too terrible and too beautiful, like a colorful poisonous snake hidden under flowers.He tried to convince himself that it was just an accidental, absurd and illogical nightmare.

However, on the second night, when Sheng Huan closed his eyes, the picture of the dream reappeared clearly.He is like an animal that has stepped into quicksand, the more he resists, the faster he will fall.Even though he was conscious and frightened, his body was bound by joy. After he soiled his clothes again, Sheng Huan finally realized that it was not a dream, but his delusion.

If it is said that his longing for Wen Mingyu in the past was only out of curiosity, what happened that night is like paint dripping into the water, completely polluting his pure curiosity, if it can be presented in front of people, it must be very filthy.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, one was really calm, the other was pretending to be calm, and they didn't speak to each other for a long time.In the end it was Wen Mingyu who broke the silence: "You seem to like being a mouse very much."

The sky cleared up, and the thin sunlight crossed the eaves and shone on Wen Mingyu's face, reflecting him like a transparent jade statue.In Sheng Huan's eyes, it seemed that this person always had light on him, like a bright moon, which occasionally cast a ray of light toward the corner where he was hiding, driving away the darkness that had bound him for a long time.

But instead of repaying his kindness, he violated ethics and developed a desire to profane this moon, which was so unbearable that he felt ashamed.

Sheng Huan bowed his head deeply and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Wen Mingyu didn't mean to pursue it, but from Sheng Huan's tone, it seemed that he had done something very wrong, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious.But he soon felt relieved, only knowing that Sheng Huan was still brooding over the last mischief, so he said, "Okay, what can you do with me?"

Even though he couldn't see each other's face, now that they were so close, Sheng Huan could still smell Wen Mingyu's breath.The smell was also mixed with a little wine aroma, which made it seem to have a temperature, which made the feast so chaotic, that it forgot what to say for a moment.

At the moment when he was distracted, Wen Mingyu suddenly turned his head away and coughed a few times. Then Sheng Huan remembered that the other party's health had always been poor, and he was tired. He stood in the cold wind for a long time, and couldn't help feeling annoyed and panicked , Said: "I'm leaving, you go in quickly."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Wen Mingyu would not leave, he took a few steps back to prove his intention to go.

This kind of action has to be done by others, it will make Wen Mingyu feel that she has been teased.Of course he knew that Sheng Huan didn't dare to tease him, so he felt that something was wrong.Wen Mingyu thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to worry about Shenghuan's abnormality, so she turned around and walked in the door without saying a word.

He had just stepped into the door when he heard a voice behind him: "Happy New Year, Mr. Wen."

The tone was blunt, and the content was dry and pale. It was the most boring congratulations Wen Ming had ever heard.But he stopped for some reason, looked back, and saw Sheng Huan kneeling on the ground, with his head slightly raised, his black and white eyes fixedly looking at him without blinking.

Wen Mingyu thought: If this kid really wants to please someone, it's too easy. Even if he doesn't say a word, he just needs to show his current expression and look at the other person. There are not many people who can resist.

He chuckled, ignored Shenghuan, and went inside.
