At first, Jiang Yi thought that his body was chilled by the cold weather, but when he got into the carriage, he realized that it was not just the cold.

His hands and feet were very weak, and his consciousness also became blurred. He only felt that the breath from his mouth and nose was getting hotter and hotter.

He sat sluggishly for a while, and then his muddy mind realized——

I'm afraid it was because I stood outside the Imperial Study Room for too long just now that I got sick from standing there.

After Jiang Yi figured this out, he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

It's really delicate.

It was not yet noon when he left home, and it was almost evening when he came back.It gets dark early in winter, but now the late sunset can hang half of its face in the sky, leaving only a piece of orange red like ink.

There are no pedestrians on the road except for the snow. The big family decorated the doors and windows of the mansion with window grilles, and even hung delicately shaped lanterns under the eaves. .

The layout of the Jiang Mansion is much more low-key, but only lanterns are used to decorate the two sides of the gate, and the rest of the unlit areas are full of dark shadows, which is a bit counterproductive, like a haunted house.

Compared with the flowers, red willows and greenery in the distance, it is much shabby, and it looks like Father Jiang's handwriting.

Jiang Yi helped the car to get out of the carriage, and suddenly became dizzy, which made him quickly support a tree next to the carriage to stand still, so that he did not fall to the ground.

The thirst at the mouthpiece became stronger and itched, making him want to cough uncontrollably.

He rested for a while, and after the dizziness disappeared, he walked slowly towards the mansion. Before walking far, he saw a group of black shadows on the steps under the gate.

Jiang Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the glowing red lantern for a moment before he recognized the person sitting there.

Pei Xiangyun had been sitting outside the door since he applied for it, and he has sat down until now.Li Youchuan was busy tossing about what to eat and the tribute to pay for the New Year's Eve, so he came to persuade him once.

"Brother Pei, what are you waiting for?" Li Youchuan's hands were still full of flour, so it was hard to pat him on the shoulder, "It's so cold outside, come in and sit down."

Pei Xiangyun shook his head silently, and stubbornly looked at the avenue leading to the distance.

There were not many people on the road, and if there was a carriage coming back...he would definitely see it.

Li Youchuan didn't know what he was thinking, or he had never figured out what the students his young master took in were thinking.

He only knew that this person got up early in the morning and went out, and then came back in the afternoon, walked around the house, and then sat at the door like a stone statue, as if he would not leave no matter what happened.

Li Youchuan's persuasion was fruitless, so he had no choice but to say: "Then if you get cold, go into the house and find a cloak to wear, don't freeze it during the Chinese New Year."

Pei Xiangyun gave a low "um" and clenched the things in his hands, still looking stubbornly at the street not far away.

When I went to the teacher's room at noon today, I found that the teacher was not in the room.

At that time, he felt like a thunderbolt, half of the sky above his head collapsed, and he wanted to go out to find someone in a panic, but when he rushed to the door, he realized that he didn't know where the teacher had gone.

In other words, rushing out now is like a headless chicken, it is useless at all.

Pei Xiangyun turned around a few times, and simply sat down at the door.

In this way, when the teacher returns home, the first thing he sees is himself, and he can also see the teacher at first sight.

What if... Jiang Yi left him and left?

He thought of this possibility for no reason, and his heart suddenly went cold.

But if Jiang Yi really wanted to abandon himself and leave, he didn't seem to have anything to do.

Pei Xiangyun sat at the door with these wild thoughts in his mind, and sat for several hours, from the time when the sun hung over his head until the night was dark.

His nerves were a little tired after being tense for a day, and when the sky darkened, he finally couldn't help it, and closed his eyes against the courtyard wall on one side.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the "creak" sound of someone stepping on the snow, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked forward in panic.

Then I saw the person who was thinking about it.

Jiang Yi gathered his collar and looked at him with a frown. He didn't expect that the wolf cub was sitting at the door.

"What are you doing sitting here?" he asked. "Get up and get out of the way."

Pei Xiangyun hurriedly got up from the ground, and said falteringly: "Master, I, I..."

"what happened to you?"

Jiang Yi was about to reach out to push the door, but someone grabbed his wrist.

The young man's palm was hot, and when it touched his skin, his heart trembled violently.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yi frowned, curled his fingertips, "let me go..."

Pei Xiangyun's Adam's apple twitched, and his eyes were filled with unresolved haze, as if he hadn't recovered from the previous nightmare.

"Master..." he whispered, "Where have you been?"

I... have been waiting for you for a long time.

Jiang Yi looked at him as if he was going crazy again, and was too lazy to answer his question, so he turned to push the door to enter the house.

But the wrist was still tightly held by the wolf cub, which made his wrist hurt.

Jiang Yi was already a little uncomfortable, but now an unknown fire rose in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy again? Let go."

Pei Xiangyun could hear the anger in his voice, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally let go of his hand slowly.

Jiang Yi lowered his eyes and found that there was a circle of red marks on his wrist as expected.

He didn't look at Pei Xiangyun any more, and walked straight into the house, but he heard the rebel calling himself from behind: "Master, take a look at me."

The wolf cub's voice was full of grievances, as if he was about to cry the next moment.

How come I didn't find him acting like a baby in my previous life?

Jiang Yi's movements only paused for a moment, and then continued to walk forward without mercy.

The person behind him hesitated in the same place for a while, but in the end he still stepped on the snow and stuck tightly behind him.

On an unusual day, the mansion is already brightly lit, and a little noise of human voices can be heard.

Jiang Yi was wondering why this year's New Year's Eve was so lively, when a small blue whirlwind crashed into his arms.

"Master!"

The little whirlwind's voice was crisp and clear, and he didn't let go after holding him: "Master, Su'er misses you so much."

Jiang Yi was stunned, and looked up into the dining room, the first thing he saw was the fifteenth prince whose face was flushed from drinking, followed by the woman sitting beside Lu Yifeng.

Old General Zhang was stationed in Longxi, so naturally he couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year.The general's wife came to Jiang's house, firstly because his son said he missed the teacher, and secondly because he thought that the two families would be more lively together, but he didn't want to meet the fifteenth prince who had the same plan.

Father Jiang seemed to be in high spirits today. The peach blossom wine that had been hidden in the cellar for a long time was placed on the table. When he saw Jiang Yi coming back, he raised his face and said, "Why are you so slow? The whole family is waiting for you."

Before she got married, the general's wife was also a general's tiger girl. Unlike ordinary ladies, she didn't have so many rules. She was a little unhappy at once: "What do you do when you train your children for the Chinese New Year?"

As a family friend of the two families, she also watched Jiang Yi grow up, so she naturally wanted to protect her.

Jiang's father snorted coldly, seeing Jiang Yi walking slowly towards the table with Zhang Su in his arms, he was delighted in his heart.

His wife died young, and it may be a long time since he sat down at the table with his son to have a decent New Year's Eve.

The heat in the house dissipated all the chills in the body, and even the plausible symptoms of typhoid fever seemed to disappear.

He smiled and bowed to the general's wife: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I wonder if your wife is still in good health?"

The general's wife said: "You are in good health, but don't be too tired, your face will look bad, it's good to rest for a few more days when you come back."

Zhang Su stuck close to him, and after listening to his mother's words, he stuffed the sugar cake in his hand into the teacher's hand, as if the teacher would recover if he ate his own sugar cake.

Pei Xiangyun stood outside the door in a daze, looking at the happy atmosphere in the room.

The general's wife not only brought her son, she also accompanied her two nephews and nephews, both of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old. One of them just passed the Jinshi examination last year, and the other will go to Ningbei to join the army in a few years.

He is about the same age as him, but he is much better than himself.

Pei Xiangyun once again clearly recognized the huge gap between himself and others.

Ashamed of himself, he couldn't help but examine his ridiculous greed and stubbornness again.

There are so many people of all kinds around the teacher, some are full of poetry and books, some are literary and martial arts, and some are delicate in mind, no matter which one, I can't compare.

Standing by the teacher's side, you are causing him trouble, right?

Would he...would he feel ashamed to have a student like himself?

Pei Xiangyun bit his lip, moved to one side, and hid his body behind the doorpost, not wanting others to find out that he was here.

The room inside the door is brightly lit, and the warm yellow candlelight is accompanied by the aroma of food, spreading out, and a wisp of white smoke is scattered in the dark blue night sky.

Outside the door, there was a lot of snow at dusk, and the north wind blew dry branches of trees with a "creaking" sound, which made people feel painful when they hit the face, and the limbs and bones were cold, as if they would be swept away by the wind in the next moment Same.

They are clearly so close, but only a hundred steps away, but in his eyes, he can't see the end like a catastrophe.

Pei Xiangyun moved his already stiff fingers, and hid the red paper in his arms deeper.

Sure enough, I am not the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the teacher.

If he was in his previous life, he would already be burning with anger at this moment, and he would definitely rush into the house to drag the teacher out and lock him by his side, never allowing the teacher's eyes and tenderness to fall on others.

But now he felt a bit of inexplicable joy in his sadness.

The teacher looks happy.

If the teacher can be happy because he is with his family and friends, even if he is alone and left alone, he is willing.

Pei Xiangyun sniffed, pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, swept his longing eyes over the man again, and then slowly backed away.

He saw the teacher glanced outside the door, then bent slightly and said something to Zhang Su next to him.

Seeing him getting close to others, Pei Xiangyun felt a pain like a needle in his heart. He made up his mind and turned around to leave, but he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Zhang Su, who was wrapped into a ball by his mother, ran towards him, nearly tripped over the threshold in a hurry, looked up at him, and whispered, "Junior brother, why don't you go into the house? Come in quickly, I'm getting hungry."

The author says:

Some people have few good days, I won't say who they are;

Recently, I have been listening to the code words of the old ancient wind song. I really feel it.

That's right, it's the source of the phrase "I have an old friend who went away with a sword, but refused to return after all the spring breeze" qwq
