Chapter 10 The First Encounter on the Shanhai Tower

Chen's house was right in front of him, and the door was brightly lit. Zhao Yousheng stopped and looked up at the building.The housekeeper of the Chen family, Pan Shun, came out with a smile on his face, and said courteously: Please come in quickly, it's cold outside.

A servant came to take away Zhao Yousheng's horse, and led his servant Wu Chu to keep warm.

A little boy carried a lamp to light the way, and followed Zhao Yousheng to the courtyard where Chen Yu lived.When You Sheng came to Chen Yu's house, he saw that the door was closed and he didn't push the door. At this moment, Mo Yu came over, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Young Lord is looking forward to it every day, but Sheren is here."

"I heard that Xiaoyu is sick, is he better?" Zhao Youcheng lowered his voice.

Mo Yu pushed the door open, the room was silent, Chen Yu was lying on the bed, with his back to the door, motionless, apparently asleep.

"Let the family worry, it will be much better, Xiao Lang will be able to go to school tomorrow." Mo Yu knew that he was concerned, but he didn't tell him about Chen Yu's "strange disease" in detail.

The people living in Chen's house naturally heard about the rumors that Chen Yu was the son of a shark girl. Mo Yu always felt that this disease was strange and afraid of causing speculation.

"Let me take a look at him." Zhao Yousheng walked towards the bed lightly.

Mo Yu followed, she put her hand on Chen Yu's shoulder, trying to shake him awake, but was stopped by Zhao Yousheng.Mo Yu looked at Chen Yu's sleeping face, and said with a smile, "I just took a rest, but I'm tired after staying in the room for the past two days."

Zhao Yousheng sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Chen Yu's sleeping face, and said softly: "It's okay, don't wake him up."

Today, Chen Yu went to bed earlier than before, but it would be better for Zhao Youcheng if he fell asleep.

Mo Yu left Zhao Youcheng and the sleeping Chen Yu in the room. When she went out of the room, she didn't forget to look back. Through the window, she could see the figure of Zhao Youcheng sitting by the bed, which was motionless.

Looking at that figure, there is an inexplicable gloomy taste.

It may be that Zhao Yousheng didn't come to Chen's house for many days, and he felt that he was a little strange. Mo Yu thought that he might be thinking wildly.But according to the past, he must wake up Chen Yu so that he can talk with him.

The voices of the two young men would come from the room, and Chen Yu always laughed and laughed with him.

Hearing the sound of Mo Yu's footsteps going away, Zhao Yousheng lowered his head and leaned against Chen Yu's face, listening to his breathing.The breath was low and even, and the eyebrows and eyes under the orange candlelight were soft.

Zhao Yousheng's eyelids drooped, and his facial features under the light and shadow looked profound and serene, which didn't look like a teenager should have.

Chen Yu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know that Zhao Yousheng had been looking at him for a long time, and he was stuck in a dream.

His dreams include sea tides, big ships, and sharks sitting on the sea cliffs singing under the bright moon.The singing is so soft and sweet, like a mother's nocturne, like a breeze caressing the carefree flowers.

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Zhao Yousheng quietly took out an incense box from his arms, a small wooden carved incense box, and put it beside Chen Yu's pillow.Chen Yu Aixiang, with his father's status as a big merchant, he has no shortage of good fragrances.

However, the seal incense that Zong Zhengsi distributed to the eldest son was very well made, and it came from the best incense maker in the capital, no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it.

Zhao Yousheng knew what was going on with Chen Yu's illness. He would stay in bed again and again, and he couldn't visit him all the time like in his last life, so he could only let this box of incense accompany him.

Zhao Yousheng touched Chen Yu's cheek with a very light movement, and quickly retracted his fingers, leaving his warmth in his fingertips.Only living people can have warmth. Zhao Yousheng's most real feeling when he comes back to life is that Chen Yu is still alive.

He was still a young boy, he had never suffered any pain, he would never lose all his loved ones again, and in the end he was alone, wandering in the sea.

Zhao Youcheng got up to leave, when he heard voices in the courtyard, it was Chen Fan talking to Mo Yu.As Chen Yu's elder brother, Chen Fan actually often came to the courtyard where Chen Yu lived, because Chen's father also lived in this courtyard.

But Chen Fan seldom stepped into Chen Yu's room, after all the two brothers were estranged.

Chen Fan was asking about Chen Yu's situation, Mo Yu said that he had gone to bed early, and that Zhao Youcheng was in the room when he came over tonight.

Hearing the approaching footsteps and voices, Zhao Youcheng guessed that Chen Fan was going to come in. Sure enough, after a while, Chen Fan had already arrived at the door, and pushed the door open. Seeing Zhao Youcheng, he casually arched his hand and spoke in a bad tone. : "It turned out that Sheren was inside, and it was intentional to come here overnight."

He was a thick-limbed man and tall, with an air of coarseness and contempt.

"Fortunately, it's so late, the member is coming back after drinking." Zhao Yousheng symbolically returned the salute. At the age of 16, he was obviously shorter than Chen Fan, but he had an imposing manner, not losing a bit to the other party.

Mo Yu, who followed step by step into the house, saw the two people looking at each other, their faces were hard and smelly, and thought: there is never a good time, the two have always disliked each other.

Chen Fan was 23 years old. He was old enough to socialize. He went out to drink and have fun almost every night. At this time, he still smelled of alcohol and balsam.He snorted lightly, walked past Zhao Youcheng, and went to visit Chen Yu himself.

The two of them seemed unwilling to leave first, they both stood by the bed, giving Mo Yu a feeling of vigilance against each other.It seems that the other party will do something to Chen Yu, Mo Yu thinks it should be an illusion.

Fortunately, Chen Fan didn't stay for long, he just came and ended.

After Chen Fan left, Zhao Yousheng followed suit.

Mo Yu sent Zhao Youcheng to the gate of the courtyard with a lantern, and said to him in a low voice: "It's also a coincidence, Mr. Da Lang just came here tonight." Zhao Youcheng smiled lightly, and replied: "Mo Yu is probably worried that we will fight."

Just now Moyu's expression in the room was extremely nervous.

Mo Yu said that she was joking, and there was no grievance or enmity, so how could they fight.

Zhao Yousheng was still just smiling, and the smile under the lights was a bit permeable in Mo Yu's eyes.Watching Zhao Youcheng leave with the lights, and gradually drifting away, Mo Yu thought behind, could there be any hatred between the two of them in private?

Alas, isn't it hard for Mr. Xiaolang, an elder brother and a close friend, to be incompatible with each other.

Mo Yu returned to Chen Yu's house, confirmed that he was sleeping well, closed the doors and windows, and went to sleep in his own room.She took care of Chen Yu with all her heart, and even came to visit Chen Yu once or twice at night.She was the daughter of a poor family, and she was sold into Chen's house and became Chen Ying's maid. Chen Ying treated her very well.When Chen Ying got married, she was not allowed to be a dowry, and she was left in Chen's house because Chen Ying was worried about her younger brother.

Chen Ying and Chen Fan are brothers and sisters. What's interesting is that Chen Ying loves Chen Yu very much, while Chen Fan doesn't seem to accept this younger brother very much.

The night wind howled, and the cold wind penetrated directly into the seams of the clothes. Being close to the ocean, the night wind in autumn and winter was not only cold, but also strong enough to sweep people away.Before Wu Chu left Chen's house, he had just drank a bowl of hot soup, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he shrank back, put his sleeve in one hand, and held a lantern in the other.Zhao Yousheng rode on a horse, wearing a windbreaker, and marched slowly. His family has lived by the sea since his grandfather, and he has long been accustomed to the sea breeze.

"It's really cold. When I get back inside, I'll have a warm glass of wine. It's so pleasant!" Wu Chu was older than Zhao Yousheng, and his grandfather Wu Xin liked to drink a little wine. Obviously, he also had this preference.

Zhao Yousheng saw the lights of his own house from a distance, and said, "It's more comfortable than the master's house." His mother was not strict with him, and he was not allowed to drink alone.

Wu Chu immediately stood up, "I'll just secretly buy you a pot for Mr. Lang."

This is not the first time to drink secretly. In the past, Zhao Yousheng dared to drink under the eyes of his mother, and dared to fight outside the walls of the Zongyuan Academy. He was probably a worthless dude in others' mouths.

Arriving at Chen's house, the house was quiet, mother and younger brother had already fallen asleep, Zhao Yousheng gave Wu Chu some money to buy wine.

When Wu Chu came back from buying wine, he slipped into Zhao Yousheng's bedroom and couldn't find him, but there was a light in the study. He leaned out of the window and saw his little master sitting at the table, looking at a chart.

There are several nautical charts in the study room, which are the relics of Sheng’s grandfather. During his lifetime, he was one of the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Shipbuilding (Customs) in Guangzhou. Then, I got in touch with maritime merchants, and recorded the overseas geography and customs described by the maritime merchants, and wrote a book "Haifanzhi", which can be bought even in today's bookstores.

Zhao Yousheng watched intently, pressed his fingertips on the chart, moved along the needle path drawn on the chart, and described the route.Wu Chu didn't call him, but passed the jug of wine in through the window and put it on the table. He raised his body and met Zhao Youcheng's eyes, so as not to call him again to say that the wine is here.

Whether it's fighting and drinking, or reading miscellaneous books at night, Wu Chu is very familiar with the idle master.So he has never felt that Zhao Yousheng has changed, even Wu Xin said that Da Lang has become more sensible recently.

When Zhao Yousheng was browsing the charts while drinking, Chen Yu woke up in his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and smelled the strange fragrance beside his pillow. By the moonlight, he recognized a wooden incense box.

Originally he was drowsy, but when he picked up the incense box and recognized the words engraved on the incense box, he murmured: Ah Left.

This is the Gongxiang that only the eldest son has, obviously Zhao Yousheng has been here.

The incense box was held in Chen Yu's hand, and he handed it to his nose, and took a deep breath, the fragrance was very wonderful.Except for the moonlight shining through the window, the four corners of the room were dim. Chen Yu didn't know what time it was, but it was obviously late at night, and there was no sound.

He felt depressed in his heart, when Yu Sheng came, it was obvious that he was asleep, and no one woke him up.Only the scent of the incense box comforted him, and the invisible incense seemed to curl up in front of his eyes, creating the appearance of such a handsome young man.

Holding the incense box, Chen Yu gradually fell asleep again. He dreamed of Guangzhou Port. On the bustling Shanhai Restaurant, dozens of sea merchants were entertained by the officials of the Maritime Department.It was a big reward banquet for the return of the sea ship. Chen Yu's father sat with the officials of the Maritime Ship Department. At the banquet, Xiao Chen Yu saw Xiao Yousheng who followed his grandfather to the banquet for the first time.

Surrounded by adults, only two children, so they were arranged together.

When he returned to China for the first time, Chen Yu could only speak Mandarin, and he and You Sheng stared at each other.Seeing that he was dull and soft, looking easy to bully, You Sheng found out a green straw snake out of nowhere, put it in his sleeve, fiddled with the snake's head, and frightened him.

However, Chen Yu, who saw the snake charmer on the boat, not only didn't cry, but laughed.

When he smiled, Zhao Yousheng was stunned.

After the banquet, the two children happily played together, even though they couldn't speak the language.

The author has something to say: Director: I understand that, in your last life, you often sent him incense, right?What about the straight guy?
