Looking at the bright moon

On the third day when Yongtang was struggling for her marriage, Shang Ying finally sent a messenger to deliver a message, asking Yongtang to meet him in his house.

Yongtang originally wanted to show his temper, but also asked the other party to taste what it was like to be left alone.But he thought about it again, if Shang Ying continued to fight with him like this, he would have missed an opportunity to vent his anger, and he might as well come to the door to ask for clarification.Besides, after not seeing him for a while, he did miss Shang Ying a little.

When he got out of the car, he saw Shang Ying waiting inside the gate himself.Now that the weather is getting warmer, Shang Ying puts a cloak on her shoulders and wears a blue camel hair robe underneath, as if she is afraid of the cold.After getting closer, Yongtang realized that the other person's complexion was not very good, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he had not slept well.

It was rare for Shangying to be so haggard, Yongtang was taken aback, he forgot to even ask Xingshi about his crimes, and quickly asked: "Are you sick?"

"Oh, you've really grown up." Shang Ying exclaimed pretending to be surprised: "I thought you would scold me as soon as you saw me."

Yongtang often hears the elders blame him for being ignorant, but it is the first time that he is exaggerated for growing up.A burst of heat rolled across his cheeks, a little joy, but also a little annoyed for no reason, he couldn't help saying: "You really don't know what's good and what's wrong, I want to care about you, but you come to mock me instead."

"Then you have wronged me." Shang Ying stretched out his hand to hold him, coaxing: "It's windy outside, let's come in and talk."

Yongtang glanced down, and suddenly saw that the opponent's left hand hidden in the cloak was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, wrapping all the way to the back of the hand, not knowing what kind of injury it was.This discovery immediately raised Yongtang's heart. Before he could ask any questions, Shang Ying was the first to notice his strangeness, and said, "Don't make a fuss. I injured my hand when I was riding a horse a few days ago. It's not serious. be healed."

This is obviously not all the truth. When Shang Ying joined the army as a young man, it was common for his skin to bleed.If the injury was really as minor as he said, how could it make him unable to sleep well, and he lost a little weight.Although Yongtang was very concerned about the other party, he didn't want to show weakness, he just said: "You don't even want to tell me about the injury, so you don't regard me as a very good friend."

Shang Ying was not provoked by him at all, and said with a smile: "I don't want you to know about such a shameful thing." After speaking, he squeezed Yongtang's thumb and added meaningfully: "As for what I regard you as? , don't you know very well?"

Shangying kissed him that day, but he didn't pursue anything, so now the sequelae are showing.Shangying became more and more unscrupulous towards him, she could say whatever she wanted, regardless of whether Yongtang would be angry if she heard it.Yongtang doesn't like the feeling of being firmly controlled, and he can't leave Shangying's company.The other party's small jokes are also a means of showing goodwill, Yong Tang hates him for being frivolous, but at the same time enjoys it, he is born to like to be courted, the more he likes the object, the more he enjoys the other party's compliments.

Yongtang said: "I'm not interested in knowing your thoughts."

Shang Ying laughed at his pretentiousness, and led him into a small guest room beside him.When Yongtang came here, he felt more at ease than in his own home, kicked off his shoes, and fell to the side hugging the cushions on the sofa.Shang Ying ignored him, and ordered his servants to heat up the milk, and asked the kitchen to make some of Yong Tang's favorite snacks.After he finished his work, Yong Tang crawled towards Shang Ying and said, "Brother Seven, I have something I want you to advise me on."

When he spoke, his voice was small, and his face was rarely embarrassed.Shang Ying only thought that he had caused some trouble again, and agreed indifferently, saying: "Let's listen to it."

"Uncle Yue came to talk to me again, saying that he wanted to marry your sister to me." Yongtang said hesitantly: "I think his reasoning is very good. After marrying Shangzhi, he can become a family member with your family. Real relatives, who can help the elders' career, did not refuse. But after I told my uncle, he refused to agree and even taught me a lesson. Do you think I made a mistake in agreeing?"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the other party: "Hey, if Shang Zhi really married me, wouldn't you call me brother-in-law? Let's see how you will use your seniority to suppress me in the future."

Yongtang thought he had made a very funny joke, but before Shangying could reply, he laughed himself first.Unexpectedly, when his gaze fell on the other person's face, he realized that Shangying's expression was gloomy, there was no smile in his eyes, and his gaze was coldly cast on him.The two had known each other for more than ten years, and it was the first time that Yongtang was treated like this by the other party, and he couldn't help but shrink back in fright, not even daring to breathe, just staring blankly at the other party.

This silence was really unbearable, Yongtang didn't dare to speak out first, so he pondered the reason for Shangying's anger in his heart.After much deliberation, there is only one that is the most reasonable, that is, Shangying is interested in him, and she doesn't want to see herself marrying someone else.However, the other party's expression at the moment does not seem to be emotionally hurt at all. Even if Yongtang doesn't wink, he can see that Shangying doesn't mean to be sad at all, he is just angry, maybe more serious than angry.

"Your benefits, the benefits of the elders." Shang Ying's tone was very flat: "Then what are the benefits of Shang Zhi, have you thought about it?"

Hearing this sentence, Yongtang's first reaction was not introspection, but surprise.Since he knew Shang Ying, he has long been used to being the first in the other party's heart. He never expected that someone would be able to squeeze in front of him. Even if that person is Shang Ying's own sister, he still can't adapt.Yongtang turned his head and said with some resentment: "She is your own sister, how could I treat her badly?"

In order to show that she was angry, Yongtang turned her back wherever Shang Ying set her eyes, looking like an angry child.Shangying didn't try to coax him as usual, but just sat quietly, Yongtang was only willing to show him his back, and he only looked at Yongtang's back.After a long time, the anger on Shang Ying's face gradually faded, and turned into a playful joke.He took the initiative to get close to Yongtang, hugged him from behind, and asked with a half-smile: "Why are you angry? You know my feelings for you, but you still let me be a consultant for your marriage with other people. But there is no second person who is more excessive than you."

Just as Yongtang wanted to break him away, he heard Shangying snort, and said again: "Still moving around, do you want to break my hand again?"

Knowing that it was her who was at fault, Yong Tang didn't dare to make too much noise, so she lowered her voice and replied, "I haven't decided to marry her."

"Then don't marry." Shangying bent her index finger and stroked Yongtang's chin lightly: "I can't stand you marrying Shangzhi. If you don't listen to me, I won't care about you in the future."

Yongtang didn't see the other person's expression at the moment, thought Shangying was teasing him again, couldn't help but blushed, turned his back and pushed him: "Speak as you speak, why do you always move around?"

After a few pushes, the other party suddenly lowered his head and bit his earlobe.Yongtang cried out in pain, and was shivered by Shangying's warm breath, his whole body went limp for a moment, and he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to.Shangying bit down along his neck, and waited until Yongtang's whole body collapsed into his arms, then said with a smile: "You are afraid of being lonely, I can accompany you. You are afraid of losing your support, I can take care of you for the rest of your life, with me here, What else do you have to worry about?"

He really knew Yongtang, no matter how nice the words were, it would not be more worthy of Yongtang's heart than the current guarantee.Yong Tang even forgot to be angry when he heard it, and asked in a daze: "Are you really going to stay with me for the rest of your life?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Shang Ying held his hand with a very gentle tone.If Yongtang raised his head, he could see the smile on Shangying's face, Shangying had never smiled like this in front of him, and Shangying at this moment was also someone he had never known before.

Yongtang didn't look up.

At the beginning of March, the He family finally ushered in the first good thing after the new year.

Chunqiao formally took Qing Rong back to the He mansion. Although the wedding date has not been set yet, no one raised any objections to their future relationship.The first thing he did when he took over as the leader of the Jing Gang was to pay a personal visit to Hu Likun, and persuade this great man to accept Qing Rong as his adopted daughter.The officers of the Jing gang would naturally like to have a powerful helper, and dare not care about Qing Rong's background.But the thoughts of the two younger sisters in the family are not old-fashioned, and they both support the freedom of marriage.Seeing that Chunqiao was willing to do this for Qingrong, they knew that if they objected again, they would be inconsiderate of elder brother, so they changed their attitude and agreed to accept the new sister-in-law.

He Lingshan finally fulfilled a wish, feeling very relaxed.When handing over the matter to Chunqiao, he suddenly remembered the safe that his adoptive father had mentioned to him. He was busy with things recently, so he forgot about it.Afraid that there was something important in it, He Lingshan hurried to find Chunqiao, and went with him to He Zongkui's room to find the safe.

After only two attempts, the two tried out the password of the safe.There was only a thick paper bag in the box, which was tightly sealed, and there was a letter under the paper bag. The envelope was clean and unsigned. I don't know who it was for.

He Lingshan and Chunqiao looked at each other, and both felt that it would be more appropriate to open the letter first.He Lingshan cut open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and the first line that came into view was: My son Chunqiao read it.

He immediately handed the letter to Chunqiao and said, "It was given to you by foster father."

It was the first time for Chunqiao to see his father write a letter to him at such a big age, and he seemed very surprised.He didn't avoid He Lingshan, so he watched He Lingshan next to him.He Zongkui did not read many books when he was young, and he was very careless in his letters, and his wording was no different from his spoken words.When Chunqiao read the letter, he realized that he hadn't heard his father speak for a long time, and now with these words, he could recall He Zongkui's appearance when he was healthy.In the letter, He Zongkui deviated from his usual style of stern words to Chunqiao, telling him his worries back and forth, and the instructions to his children took up a whole page, and he wished to worry about them as if they were a ten-year-old child.When Chunqiao saw half of it, his eyes turned red and he couldn't stop sighing.

Turning to the end, I looked at He Zongkui again and said: You have a stubborn temper, and you have your own opinions in doing things. Even if I object, you will not obey.Thinking about it now, I will not be able to restrain you for the rest of my life after all. Now that you will see this letter, I must be useless at this time.If you have something you want to do and someone you like, just go ahead and do it while you can, and I won't interfere with you anymore.

I can't tell whether the last sentence is a complaint or an indulgence, but it makes people feel very sad.Chunqiao didn't want to lose face in front of his younger brother, tried his best to suppress the turbulent emotions, and said, "He said, he has already done what you asked him to do the first time, and here are all the documents."

His voice was obviously a little hoarse, He Lingshan knew that it was not appropriate for Ying Chunqiao to continue talking at this moment, so he slapped the other party's shoulder heavily, picked up the paper bag and walked out the door alone.

Even without opening it, He Lingshan knew what was in the paper bag.When he made this request to He Zongkui, He Zongkui asked him to wait a little longer. After all, it is not easy to create a new identity certificate for a person who appeared out of thin air.Before he returned to Yannan, this kind of thing hadn't been fully prepared. He Zongkui must have spent a lot of thought on getting it done in this month.

He Lingshan sighed, and was about to take out the documents in the bag to have a look, when he suddenly saw a person coming in from the courtyard door in a hurry, turned his head to look around, and immediately called out after finding him: "Young master, you have a letter."

That person was Xu Shuhe, He Lingshan didn't realize it for a while, just thought why he suddenly took on such a small job as delivering the letter, so he just asked: "What letter and where did it come from?"

Xu Shuhe smiled and said, "It's from Yannan."

Hearing the word Yannan, He Lingshan didn't even have time to reply, he just snatched the letter from the other party's hand.Fortunately, Uncle Xu was a sensible person, so he said hello and left without asking too many questions.

It was obvious that the study was just a few steps away, but He Lingshan didn't even want to wait for this time, and opened the letter halfway.The person who wrote the letter was obviously very careful, and even the letter paper was specially selected, and there was still some faint fragrance on it.He Lingshan leaned over to sniff it, his ears felt hot instantly, this scent was familiar to him, mixed with the faint smell of ink, there was an inexplicable tenderness.

The letter written by Wen Mingyu is not long, and most of the first part is his statement of the recent situation, the words are concise and there is no sense of intimacy or ambiguity.He Lingshan really likes to see the other party talking about these things. After reading it carefully, he saw the writing at the end: Wandering in the garden in the middle of the night, seeing the moonlight is clear, it is better than the autumn evening.Now we are two places away from you, and there is only one round of beauty to share. It is a pity that the moon is incomprehensible, and the night is less bright. I don't know if the date of your return is set at this time in the coming month?

This person is indeed very reserved in matters of love, and he refuses to express his thoughts clearly.He Lingshan looked helplessly and funny, took the letter back to the study, took out a piece of letter paper, and wrote the first sentence without any concealment: "I miss you, I've finished my work, and I'll be back soon."
