Qizhou

There is an unnamed mountain on the outskirts of Chang'an. Naturally, that mountain is not as beautiful as the famous mountains and rivers, but since the mountain was born from the land of dragon veins, it naturally has some aura from it.Qin Ge failed to catch up with the rest today, General Bai was promoted, so naturally he would no longer patrol for him, the poor General Qin could only look at the dust raised by a few people driving away, and sighed a long time angry.

This is the promised outing, if it is delayed, I am afraid it will not be completed in summer.

When he got into the car for the first time, Ci Nian was still in good spirits. He couldn't rest his hands, and sometimes he wanted to lift the curtain to see the outside, and sometimes he wanted to mess with other things, if it wasn't because there was Xu Wenzhi in the car , he could even lie on He Qizhou's lap with a crooked body.He doesn't care about this face, but He Qizhou still wants to hang out in Chang'an anyway, after much deliberation, he had to give up after resigning. He was tired of looking at the scenery outside the window, so he opened the small car window and fell asleep unconsciously past.

Far away from the city, the road gradually became bumpy. Sitting beside him, He Qizhou watched Ci Nian's head being shaken to and fro, sometimes violently, his slightly opened mouth trembled violently, and the back molars hit hard. When they got together, they let out a crisp "heh", Chi Nian woke up with a start, and quickly touched his chin, his little face was bitterer than the tea after the night.

He Qizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took advantage of his sleepy eyes to hug him and let him continue to sleep next to his shoulder.

Xu Wenzhi was in good spirits, seeing this situation, consciously lowered his voice, and said, "Young master, are you sleepy?"

He Qizhou shook his head: "It's just too boring, he has always been like this, don't worry, he will be alive and kicking when he gets off the car."

"The relationship between the two is really good." Xu Wenzhi smiled, "It's a blessing to have a confidant like this in life."

He Qizhou said: "He has no relatives in Chang'an, only me. If you don't treat him better, wouldn't it be a bad treatment?"

"Where is the young master, I saw that day..." Xu Wenzhi suddenly remembered the scene he ran into by chance at He Qizhou's mansion that day. He only glanced at Ci Nian, and the boy hurriedly hid behind He Qizhou, no matter what. They don't want to come out again.He wanted to hide the tiny ear on the top of his head, but Xu Wenzhi still saw it.Thinking of this, Xu Wenzhi felt that these words should not be said, so he consciously stopped.

"Shuzhong." He Qizhou didn't mind, but was very open-minded, "He has a pure mind, and many things won't be so complicated, but this world is very complicated. It's really embarrassing for a person to live in Shuzhong for so many years. I only hope that this blessed land of Chang'an can benefit him."

"I understand." The meaning of these words does not need to be stated explicitly, Xu Wenzhi already understood it in his heart.The world is so big, there are still too many things that he has not seen. The novel calculation of Qin Tianjian and the unique existence of Ci Nian are all things he has never known in books before.But since you know the secret, you should keep it to the end.

Even if it's just an ordinary person, Xu Wenzhi is very clear about the principles of a gentleman.

The horses pulling the cart snorted a few times, the road under the wheels was still bumpy, but the faint scent of flowers had seeped in from every crack in the carriage.The fragrance of the flower is very light, only a little bit mixed in the air, but this fixed point, like a small hand, can always lead the person who smells it to find a more fragrant fragrance.

The destination of their trip has arrived.

The carriage came to a stop, and the driver greeted them to get out of the carriage. Xu Wenzhi had been to this place many times, so he was naturally familiar with the road. Seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, he took the initiative to pick up the food box, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. : "Young master, I'm afraid I have to wait for a while. I haven't been here for a long time. Let's explore the way first. When you come down later, call me louder."

After saying that, he put down the curtain, and called the coachman, asking him to go to the side of the mountain to explore the road together, and get some rewards by the way.

This Mr. Xu looks dull on weekdays, but when he should be shrewd, he seems to be very obedient.He Qizhou smiled, lowered his eyes, looked at the Year of Resignation hanging on him, after much deliberation, he still decided to pinch his nose maliciously.As soon as the nose was pinched, Ci Nian immediately opened his eyes a slit, opened his mouth wide, and bit He Qizhou's hand violently.

"Get up when you wake up, what's the matter if you don't want to move?" He Qizhou let him bite his hand. Although the canine teeth were sharp, he didn't use much strength, and it didn't hurt anyone if he scratched his fingertips. Just like a playful milk cat.When Ci Nian listened to what he said, he smiled, tilted his body, and simply lay down on his back.He rested his head on Mr. He's thigh, looked up at the smiling man, and suddenly said, "Qizhou...you look so good when you smile."

He Qizhou still smiled, but said, "What did you call me?"

"Can't you be called?" Ci Nian laughed, stretched out his hand, and gently tapped the corner of the man's mouth that was curled up with a smile, "That's your name, can't I?"

"Yes." He Qizhou picked him up from his lap, supported his waist with one hand, and put him in his arms with the other.Officials in the Qin Tianjian are supposed to be civil servants, but He Qizhou's arms are always full of strength.At this moment, he held Ci Nian in his arms, as if he wanted to press him tightly into his chest.Ci Nian didn't know why, but being hugged by him like this made her ears turn red.

This was obviously just an ordinary hug.

And the blush that flew from the ears to the face did not finally ease until the two of them got out of the carriage and faced the spring breeze for a while.Seeing that the two of them had come down, the coachman hurried over and drove the car aside to rest, while Xu Wenzhi was standing by the side of the mountain road, and waved at the two of them: "You can count it down, young master, I slept so soundly this time." Bar?"

It's not good to explain to him what happened just now, so I had to agree: "Yeah... I didn't sleep well last night."

Behind Xu Wen is the valley that he has mentioned countless times but has no name so far.In fact, as long as you walk to the side for a while, you can find the Royal Garden, but for some reason, this place is so beautiful and exquisite, but it is no longer within the scope of the Royal Garden.If someone hadn't led the way here once, I'm afraid he would not have noticed that such a beautiful scenery has not been favored by the royal family.

But it is not a bad thing not to be favored. If even this place is enclosed by the royal family, wouldn't they be in vain today?

The mountains are green, and from the top to the foot of the mountain, they are all covered by the unconcealable spring.The tender green of the sprouts is the most conspicuous, they press the original dark color of the green hills, showing the vitality of life.This mountain is neither high nor dangerous. Compared with the lofty mountains, this mountain seems to have lost its way and went to the wrong place. It is not as steep and majestic as the mountains in the northwest should be, but it has a bit of the gentleness of Jiangnan minor tunes.

There is a road on the side of the mountain, maybe it was built by the predecessors after visiting a lot, it is a small gravel road.Only a section of this road can be seen, the green grass on the side of the road can reach knees, Xu Wenzhi got out of the car with the driver just now, and it should have been cleaned up for a while, that's why there are so many fine grass stalks on the path.

The warm wind is late, and the comfort is just right.It's been a long time since he and He Qizhou went out to play in the mountains. When he saw this scene, all the charm and sleepiness just now were wiped away. He took He Qizhou's hand and rushed over excitedly, wishing he could plunge headfirst into the green hills , it is best to build a house and live there for three days and three nights!

Laughing and laughing all the way, the two finally, led by Xu Wenzhi, bypassed the grass and trees, and came to the open space that he said was the most suitable for sitting down and talking.It is hidden in the valley, and you only need to go around a few turns to find it smoothly.

And here, there is really a huge magnolia tree.

The tree is very tall and big, with towering branches and leaves, as if it can reach into the clouds.The huge canopy is like an open oil-paper umbrella, and the sunlight shining through the green leaves can cast a green shadow.And now it's spring, and it's blooming.The white flowers bloom in the layered green leaves. The aroma is not strong, but just right.Ci Nian sniffed hard, and sighed contentedly: "This flower is really fragrant. It would be great if we could have a tree like this in our yard."

He Qizhou spread the straw mats under the tree to sit on, and greeted Ci Nian to come over for snacks: "You want everything, but in our yard, what kind of tree is so big that it would be wronged to plant it. "

Several people formed a circle, laughing and chatting about their thoughts while eating snacks.Resigning from the year, he told them many stories in Zhuxi Village. Who's chicken secretly took someone's clothes, whose dog gnawed the chicken again, who and whose daughter secretly went down the mountain to sell embroidery... These anecdotes from the market in the countryside were unheard of by a scholar like Mr. Xu, and he was happy to hear them, and the three of them enjoyed themselves happily.

Even when facing this flower tree, the shadow of that person would always flash before Xu Wenzhi's eyes, but at this moment he knows better than anyone else that this relationship has no possibility of continuing.After hearing so many stories about Ci Nian, this little guy said he was tired, and he ate half of his snacks. He shouted that he was bored and wanted to find something fresh elsewhere. He Qizhou smiled and let him go. He only told him to watch his feet and not fell down.

Resignation got permission, and he ran away without a trace.Seeing him running away, He Qizhou looked at Xu Wenzhi, and said in a warm voice: "Brother Xu brought us here, won't you feel affectionate about the scenery and think about others when you see things?"

Xu Wenzhi said helplessly: "If you can't forget it, you won't forget it wherever you go. If you let it go, it will be the same in front of you."

As he said that, he also got up, took out the shiny bracelet from his arms, and slowly walked towards the flower tree behind him.The tree is still full of vitality, and the flowers all over the tree are in full bloom, and the fragrance is still the same.Xu Wenzhi stood under the tree for a while, finally squatted down, and gently dug a small hole with his hands.After hesitating for a moment, he put the bracelet into the pit and slowly filled it with soil.

If you can't send it out, don't worry about it anymore.

A gust of wind passed by, and the branches of the flower trees swayed with the wind, making a whisper-like rustling sound.Xu Wenzhi seemed to hear something from the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, he smiled lightly, stroked the smooth bark of the magnolia tree, and said softly: "Can you understand?"

The wind blew for a while, then gradually stopped, but the flowers on the tree took advantage of the last breath of spring breeze, jumped down from the branches, and landed steadily in Xu Wenzhi's palm.

"Everything has animism." He Qizhou said, "This tree has a destiny with Brother Xu, and it understands you."
