Pei Gonggui

The morning light of the next day shone into the pavilion through the window sills, passed through the bed drapery, and caressed Pei Jun's bare back warmly.

Pei Jun was laying on the soft quilt that was still wet, and woke up from the mist. He touched his hand, and found it was empty. The drowsiness was cleared immediately, and he looked intently, only to see that what he was holding in his arms was just a lump. There were piles of embroidered quilts, and Jiang Yue, who went to Wushan together with him in the bed last night, disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the scattered shirt beside the bed and got up, regardless of the fact that Jiang Yue took off the shirt the night before, he just wrapped it up and put on a robe casually, and walked to outside room.

As the morning light entered the pavilion, Pei Jun seemed to see a figure in the bamboo forest soaking in the hot spring pool by the window. From a distance, he recognized that it was Jiang Yue, and he was relieved, saying that he had found someone.

The greenery in the forest covers the sun shadow with a layer of cyan, and the oil penetrates into the water, which makes Jiang Yue soaked in it look like a jade complexion and have strong brachial muscles. Jun Xian in Tianchi.

This scene was a beautiful man stacking bamboos looking over the fence, and it easily reminded Pei Jun of the first time he climbed over the wall of Baochan Palace and hit Jiang Yue by mistake when he was a teenager. He took off his robe, put on his soft boots and went out of the pavilion, brushed aside the purple flowers of the bamboo clump, walked slowly to Jiang Yue's side, squatted down and turned his head to look at him:

"When did you start? Why didn't you call me?"

Jiang Yue heard him coming out early in the morning, so he followed him closer, and moved a little deeper into the water. Seeing him approaching now, he seemed to want to lower his body: "Just got up. I saw that you were not sleeping well, so I didn't disturb you." you."

Pei Jun kicked off the soft boots on his feet, and also supported the edge of the pool to get into the water. With the warm hot spring, he approached Jiang Yue, put his arms around Jiang Yue's thin and narrow waist, and leaned forward Rou kissed him briefly, and parted, saying: "I didn't see you when I got up this morning, I thought it was because you thought I was bad and didn't want me..."

Jiang Yue let him wrap his arms around him, pecked his side cheek lightly, and smiled softly: "Why?"

"Then did you sleep well?" Pei Jun poked at the tip of his nose, smiled, leaned closer to his ear and said, "Did you feel comfortable last night?"

Jiang Yue's face was already flushed by the heat of the hot spring, but it became more obvious after hearing Pei Jun's words now, and his voice became even deeper: "Fortunately..."

"It's okay, how did it happen?" Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Pei Jun suddenly lifted him up from the water.Jiang Yue was so startled that he clasped his arm with a low cry. Just as he stabilized his body, his bare shoulders were already exposed to the bright morning light.For a moment, all the red marks of love on his chest, back and neck appeared, seeing it in Pei Jun's eyes, causing Pei Jun to smile evilly, and quickly leaned towards his neck contentedly, adding another mark for him.

"Pei Jun!" Jiang Yue scolded in embarrassment, clutching his neck and breaking away from Pei Jun, Ying brows raised helplessness, "Stop making trouble, I have to go to the front to discuss matters later, if someone sees it, what is it like... ..."

"Then I don't want to be seen by others, so I just don't discuss the matter." Pei Jun continued to pester him and joked, "Let's continue what happened last night—"

"Master!"

Before Pei Jun finished speaking, there was a sudden shout from outside the courtyard: "Master! Master Mei is here!"

This sound immediately made Pei Jun hiss, and secretly scolded Mei Linyu in his heart why he was not late for an hour and a half, it made it so difficult for him to get close to Jiang Yue, and he was disturbed again early in the morning.

"Maybe it's a matter of arrangement in Beijing." Seeing that he frowned helplessly, Jiang Yue separated him a little funny and said, "Let's go, let's go see Young Master Mei first. The matter in Beijing is still pending. I can't rest easy here."

Naturally, Pei Jun also accepted this reasoning, so the two of them washed, wiped and put on their clothes. They walked to the outside of the courtyard one after the other, and they saw Mei Linyu standing among the counselors in the courtyard. Laughing and saying something.

"How's Beijing and China these two days?" Pei Jun stepped forward and put his arms around his neck.

Mei Linyu struggled in his arms and said: "After today is the palace examination, the common people are looking forward to the fireworks at the Qionglin Banquet, there is no other major event."

Seeing Pei Jun and Jiang Yue approaching, everyone simply greeted them.At this time, Mei Linyu broke away from Pei Jun and was about to salute Jiang Yue, but she seemed to have heard something, wrinkled her nose, looked suspiciously at Pei Jun, and then at Jiang Yue, with a hint of ambiguity in her eyes, and suddenly Laughing, he coughed twice and raised his hand to cover it up, first said: "This time my elder brother left Beijing with an illness, so I brought two doctors with me, Quan Zuo came to take care of my elder brother's illness, so as not to be in Beijing. suspicious."

Then Pei Jun instructed everyone to enter the living room for a detailed chat, and Mei Linyu followed behind him and grabbed him, leaned into his ear and asked in surprise, "Brother! Did you punish Prince Jin?"

Pei Jun really felt that Mei Linyu's eyes and nose were sharper than a dog's, so he asked strangely, "You know again?"

Mei Linyu narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Hey, both of you smell like sulfur from the hot spring! I don't believe that you two even discussed and lined up to take a bath. If you say it's okay, the devil will believe it." Said Then he asked for credit again, "What's the matter? I installed a hot spring pool for you back then, and you still scolded me after working on it for half a year. Now it can be regarded as a great achievement?"

Pei Jun raised his hand and beat him on the brain: "Is this a trick? Then let me tell you a trick too?"

Mei Linyu covered her forehead and stared at him: "What?"

Pei Jun said: "Cai Yan is pushed into a hurry by me. Now that he wants to protect his son, it will probably not be difficult for Pei Yan's case anymore."

"What!" Mei Linyu became very happy, danced around in a circle, and hugged Pei Jun's arm, "Brother, you are really first-class! So, sister Yan is going to come out?"

Seeing his happy appearance, Pei Jun felt a bit sad for him: "Maybe it is, but it's hard for you to run for her."

But Mei Linyu waved her hand and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, I feel sweet in my heart to be able to run for Sister Yan. Brother, you see, all these good deeds are useful, and Sister Yan will come out now?"

Pei Jun raised his hand and touched his head. He didn't know what to say about the scene, and heard Jiang Yue calling him in front of him at this time, so he pulled Mei Linyu into the hall and sat down to discuss the matter.

At night, after everyone finished their preparations, Mei Linyu was also there because he bumped into Li Shunan, thinking that although the two families of Mei and Li were rivals, the rivalry was only a matter of the fathers, and there were still some who were the leaders of the two sons and nephews. It's easy to chat with young people, so they sat down and drank together.Later, Li Shunan was dragged by Mr. Zhao to talk about the shipping. Mei Linyu drank too much by herself, and finally got drunk and pulled Pei Jun's sleeves, and said in a daze what she dared not say when she was not drunk:

"Brother, this time when Sister Yan comes out, it's just...it's really good. Tell me, this time, will it be possible for me...to be with her?"

Hearing the words, Pei Jun exchanged a glance with Jiang Yue and said nothing.After all, after experiencing King Rui's abuse and the royal family's ruthlessness, no one can know for sure how Pei Yan will feel when she gets out of prison, let alone whether she can accept another person's feelings pouring into her again.Pei Jun knew that Pei Yan always thought that she was a burden to Mei Linyu, and even if she was not in prison, she would not be able to change this thought easily.

But these are all things for later.Mei Linyu was already drunk, humming in her mouth, talking for a while about how she first met Pei Yan at Pei Jun's house when Mei's father kicked him out of the house, and even sang the most popular opera in the capital right now. , called "Jade Goulou":

"Thousands of miles to go to a fate under the moon, the concubine wants to change her eyes, go through the changes of yin and yang, and share the beauty with you for thousands of miles..."

Pei Jun grew up drinking and drinking with this man, and used to know that as long as Mei Linyu, who is tone-deficient, starts singing, it is time to stop, so he didn't pretend to be a hand, and just put Mei Linyu's arm on his shoulder. Pick up the frame, pick him up and send him to the guest room in the inner courtyard.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Jiang Yue said goodbye to all the gentlemen who went with him for the time being. Now he was walking behind him, and seeing his friendly appearance with Mei Linyu, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You and Master Mei seem very close. It's like a real brother."

Entering the room at this time, Pei Jun threw the drunk and paralyzed Mei Linyu on the bed, threw it inside, and pulled the quilt to cover it, just like a butcher unloading freshly slaughtered pork and covering it with a layer of sackcloth to keep flies away.

Seeing that Mei Linyu was sleeping soundly, Pei Jun snorted, took Jiang Yue's fingers, and led him to brush away Mei Linyu's hair, saying: "Jiang Yue, look."

Jiang Yue looked down and saw three curls in Mei Linyu's hair, and suddenly laughed: "I dare say that Young Master Mei is a monkey spirit."

"That's not it." Pei Jun also laughed with him, and raised his finger to smooth Mei Linyu's temple hair, "This kid has been skinny since he was a child, and he is very cute. No one who has met him doesn't like him. He sees He is a clever little ghost who flatters all the gentlemen in the capital, but he is actually just a child in private, sometimes so innocent. If you had known him earlier, you could have kissed him."

Jiang Yue smiled and looked at him: "How did you meet him?"

"It's not a big deal, I just met him while drinking, and we've only been together for more than ten years." Pei Jun took him by the hand and walked out of the house, and said leisurely, "It's just that on the wine table, the mouth There are so many mixed-minded people, how many people can live with everything...Maybe only Meiliu and I are stubborn, we are the same kind of people, and we are not necessarily the same as Lao Cao."

Jiang Yue frowned and stood still: "Why is it unusual?"

Pei Jun thought for a while, then sighed softly: "Let's put it this way... For example, Lao Cao seemed to have someone in his heart back then, but he killed him and never said it. Later, I don't know what happened. She still married Lin, and with Xuanxuan, she can live happily ever after. Let me and Meiliu go but it won't work after all." Pei Jun smiled and pulled Jiang Yue's back to kiss, his eyes lingering Looking at Jiang Yue's eyebrows, he said softly, "For people like us, we have to close our eyes to survive, otherwise we will feel aggrieved every day."

Jiang Yue shook hands with him, lowered his head and smiled, but after thinking about it, he still asked him: "What are you going to do with Cao Luan?"

Pei Chuiyan covered Mei Linyu with a quilt, his eyes flickered slightly, he frowned for a moment, and then sighed again:

"I hope it's just a quick knife to cut through the mess. Saving him like this... can be regarded as saving me."

In this way, for another three days in Zhuangzhong, the arrangements in the capital became more and more comprehensive, but it was hard for Mei Linyu to ride a fast horse at both ends day and night.But he seemed to be able to bear it all the more, with joy on his face, he wrote back one day, saying that there was indeed a document in Pei Yan's case - Dali Temple pointed out that Wu Taiyi's testimony had been bribed, and then gave the bribe King Rui's concubine, Qin Shi, was blamed for the crime. She turned black and white, and put Qin Shi in prison that day to await trial.

Cao Luan is still looking after Pei Yan's case in Jingzhong, and Cao Luan's subordinates are also running the documents.Mei Linyu looked at Cao Luan as if she was doing her best, but it was only once in a while that she talked to him strangely.Because of the presence of his black-clothed guards, Mei Linyu didn't want to ask too many questions. Now that he was rushing to bring King Jin back to life, he could only take care of one end first, and the rest would have to be discussed after returning to Beijing.

When Mei Linyu said this, she was drinking tea with Pei Junli on the corridor in the backyard. Seeing what Pei Jun was thinking after speaking, she suddenly thought of another thing, and said in a low voice: "The emperor will get married in the morning, brother you……?"

When he said this, Pei Jun's eyes were falling on the garden, looking at Jiang Yue who was talking and laughing with the gentlemen.At this moment, I saw Jiang Yue sitting under the green shade in the garden, his moon-white robe covered the upper half of his body, and his half body was bright. The soft smile between his brows and eyes was like the melting water in early spring, exuding a breath warmer than the warm sun.Then he raised his head and met Pei Jun's eyes, and then raised the corners of his lips to share a smile with him, but he didn't seem to care much, but the sense of peace and happiness overflowed from his eyes, although he was talking about urgent world affairs, his whole body was still The look of being at ease.

Even in the turbulent past, Pei Jun had never seen such a relaxed Jiang Yue, he could not help but sigh with a smile, some gloom or depression in his eyes seemed to disappear with this sigh, and when he was young, he only looked back at Jiang Yue. Mei Linyu said:

"The past is the past, let's look back."

On the sixth day of staying in the village, in the evening, the sky suddenly became overcast, and there was a heavy rain in the countryside.The crackling rain on the eaves accompanied by the rumbling thunder, seemed to turn the attic where Pei Jun and Jiang Yue lived together into a unique place in the world.

That night, Jiang Yue was awakened by a loud thunder. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the room was stuffy and sweaty. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Pei Jun was sleeping beside him with his arms tightly wrapped around him, as if he didn't feel any heat at all. Sweat drenched the pajamas and ignored it.

Jiang Yue saw that Pei Jun was invulnerable, so he couldn't help laughing. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a silver light flashing under Pei Jun's pillow. Suspiciously, he took a look, and saw that it was a silver-faced short knife with intricate carvings.

Jiang Yue frowned, and looked at Pei Jun, who was sleeping soundly with a frown on his forehead. For a moment, he threw the knife far away on the ground with his backhand, then turned around and hugged Pei Jun tightly, and buried his head in a light peck on Pei Jun's neck. He closed his eyes again.

The dagger thrown by him slammed loudly on the stone floor tiles, causing Pei Jun's eyebrows to tremble. He opened his eyes under Jiang Yue's movement, and asked in a daze as he stood up, "Jiang Yue...how can I?" Hear a noise?"

Jiang Yue grabbed him, looked into his eyes and said with relief: "It's nothing, it's just Dao Lei. Go to sleep."

Hearing the words, Pei Jun slipped into his arms, kissed him, trapped him contentedly, fixed his eyes on the jade in front of him, and finally fell asleep as promised.

It rained all night until early morning.The next morning, the two woke up and were about to get dressed, but while talking and laughing, they heard someone calling outside. When they tied up their clothes and walked out of the yard, they saw Mei Linyu running into the village with a tired face and a broken heart.

Seeing that Mei Linyu came here overnight, her face was full of panic.The servants in the Zhuangzi just woke up to work, and they were all frightened by his yelling. They all stood on the corridor and looked up to watch him run wildly all the way to the backyard.

Most of his body was drenched by the rain, and he broke into the moon gate of the backyard like a drowned rat, just as Pei Jun and Jiang Yue hurried out.Seeing Mei Linyu at this time, Pei Jun immediately asked him what was wrong, but saw Mei Linyu's red phoenix eyes widened with tears, and cried violently to him:

"Brother, hurry back to Beijing with me! Sister Yan is under punishment!"
