Advise you not to help the willows

The weather is getting hotter, and the green bamboos that Lian Song planted in the yard are now in full bloom. The two of them set up a stall in the morning and evening, and at noon, when the heat is so hot that they feel lazy, they enjoy the coolness in the bamboo forest to cool off.It was like this every day, Li Fuliu simply moved his own desk case over with Lian Song's calligraphy stand.

Although the thick bamboo leaves covered the scorching sun, they couldn't stop the heat on the ground. In less than an hour, Lian Song poured cold water on the ground four times to feel better.

Lian Song was sitting on a bamboo chair, holding a gamboge folding fan in his hand, which was exactly the one that Li Fuliu always held in his hand, and he fanned it one after another.Li Fuliu was still lying on his usual bamboo couch, holding a pair of yellow and gray cattail fans.A small table was placed between the two of them, on which were freshly cut watermelons taken from the well water and sour plum soup from the grandmother next door.

The cattail leaf fan in Li Fuliu's hand was originally picked up by Lian Song in the kitchen, and it was inevitably stained with soot when used to fan the fire on weekdays, so he wanted to use it at night to drive away mosquitoes.Unexpectedly, when Li Fuliu saw it, he first teased Lian Song, saying that he is a dignified gentleman but he doesn't even have a decent fan, and then he insisted on replacing his cattail fan with his own folding fan, saying that he is not a gentleman if he wants to experience it a feeling of.

Lian Song wanted to explain, but the more he refused to give the cattail fan to Li Fuliu, the more Li Fuliu wanted to grab it. Seeing him holding the cattail fan in his hand, with a look of great interest, after thinking about it, he thought it better not to tell .

"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is your birthday, right?" Li Fuliu kept moving his hands, frowned slightly, and looked at the fan in his hand suspiciously. How could he smell a smell of plant ash? It's really strange ?

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget it." Lian Song poured out a bowl of sour plum soup and handed it to Li Fuliu when he waved his hand, took a sip and said, "How does Fuliu know my birthday?"

"On the seventh day of the seventh month of that year, it was the birthday of Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang. I don't know how many girls sent tokens of love to your house! It's true that there is no one to reward the lanterns for ten miles, and the lover is expected in front of the Zhuangyuan's mansion". What a good story about you, my lord!" Li Fuliu laughed, but recalled the scene of that year in his heart.

The street in front of Zhuangyuan's Mansion was full of women of all kinds and ages, ranging from grey-haired old women to girls with drooping hair. There were also some men among them, all for the purpose of being able to have a good time on the night of the Qixi Festival. Seeing this rumored new champion with outstanding talent and appearance, of course the most important thing is "appearance".In addition, knowing that the champion's birthday is on the seventh day of the seventh month, everyone became more confident, and the euphemistic name was: Congratulations by giving gifts.

If the Holy Majesty hadn't specially dispatched people from the Ministry of War, the gate of the Zhuangyuan Mansion would have been smashed.In the end, they had to forcibly clear the way, lined up everyone in two teams, and gave gifts in order in front of the Zhuangyuan Mansion. That night, there were piles of fruits, vegetables and fragrant flowers in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and the purses were all in baskets, not to mention other various gifts. .

Li Fuliu thought it was funny when he thought about it, but when he looked at the person sitting in front of him, he clearly didn't take it seriously, so he couldn't help curling his lips, so he wouldn't say that he also gave a gift at that time!

Hearing these words, Lian Song almost choked on a mouthful of sour plum soup, and said with a wry smile, "Oh~ I didn't sleep all night!

"Haha, I thought Zhuangyuan Lang didn't take it seriously at all! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it~~" Li Fuliu laughed, and the bamboo couch under him also shook.

The two were chatting, but this time they were mostly talking about the grand scene of the capital in the past.Lian Song originally thought that Li Fuliu, as a court painter, lived in a deep palace, so he should not know the outside world, but when talking with him, he found that Li Fuliu knew more things than himself, and it was more specific, even many things that few outsiders knew clearly.

For a while, which family had an illegitimate child, and for a while, which minister lied about the disaster, and some things are even confidential now.Li Fuliu spoke calmly, but Lian Song was both shocked and puzzled, how did Fuliu know this?

During the period, someone asked Lian Song to write a letter for him, and Lian Song hurried out.On the one hand, he digested the news he received, and on the other hand, he wondered why Fu Liu told him.

"Hey, are you going to write or not?" The man couldn't help urging when he saw that Lian Song hadn't finished writing. He was already hot and anxious.

"Ah, write, write." Lian Song suppressed his thoughts and quickly finished the letter.

Lian Song frowned, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth, after thinking about it, he decided to ask Fu Liu himself.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that Li Fuliu was holding the wooden bucket he had just poured water on, preparing to pour water on himself.

"Fuliu! What are you doing?" Lian Song was shocked, shouting and ran towards Li Fuliu.

Who would have thought that this shout would startle Li Fuliu, his hands trembled, and he was soaked from head to toe.

"Well, what?" Li Fuliu didn't care, turned his head and smiled at Lian Song.

"You, what are you doing?" Lian Song took the wooden barrel from Li Fuliu's hand and put it away, and hurriedly wiped the water stains on Li Fuliu's face with his sleeve.

"It's too hot." Li Fuliu stood with a smile on her face, letting Lian Song wipe it for herself.

"Here, well, the well water is shady, and your body is thin. If the cold enters your body, you may get sick. You can't do this in the future." Lian Song tried to wring Li Fuliu's clothes dry, but Li Fuliu gently pushed him away. .

"Understood, Master Lian~" Li Fuliu picked up the cattail leaf fan on the bamboo couch again, and sat with a smile on his face.

Originally it was supposed to be called Lian Song, but after getting acquainted with him, Li Fuliu would often make fun of it, and Lian Song didn't care, so he kept calling him that.

Lian Song sat on the bamboo chair, still looking at Li Fuliu worriedly.It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you just feel that your blood is surging, and your body is hot all of a sudden, so you can only keep using the fan to fan the wind.

Xia Tian was already dressed lightly, but today Li Fuliu was wearing a white dress again, when the water was splashed on it, most of it was soaked through, only two red spots on his chest were looming, but Li Fuliu didn't care, he took a cattail fan, his figure was covered It is clearly outlined.

"Hey, Fuliu, you'd better go change your clothes." Lian Song tugged at his collar, wondering why it's so hot today?

"What's the matter?" Li Fuliu glanced at Lian Song, seeing the latter's eyes dodging, asked suspiciously.

Lian Song: "...It's not good for your health."

Li Fuliu: "But I'm not hot like this!"

Lian Song: "I'm hot..."

Li Fuliu: "...?...!"

Li Fuliu bewilderedly looked at Lian Song's reddened ear tips, followed his gaze to look at his chest, suddenly realized.I am still very happy in my heart, after all, it can be seen from this that Lian Song really treats himself differently from other men.Otherwise, if you are both men, why should you be so scrupulous.

"Indeed. It's not good for your health~" Li Fuliu held back his smile, and looked at a certain part of Lian Song meaningfully, which made Lian Song flustered.

Li Fuliu casually covered his chest with a cattail fan, turned his back to Lian Song and walked out, smiling happily.
