The moon comes to take pictures
Chapter 53
It was nightfall, and the lights in Nanjing's garrison house were always on. Chang Xi was wearing gauze singles, holding a pipa, carefully tuning the strings, whispering a few words to the little actor next to him from time to time, pinching his buttocks and kissing.
After a while, there was a commotion outside, the sound of footsteps approaching steadily, the curtain opened left and right, and it was Wei Shui, who was wearing ordinary clothes, reeking of alcohol.
"Here we come." Chang Xi took a long look, loosened the little actor's waist, and let him go out, "You must have drunk a lot, here is some sobering tea for you."
"Thank you, Dugong." Wei Shui sat down, his eyes swept over the back of the actor who left, and he quickly returned to normal.
Chang Xi pretended not to notice, and asked with a smile: "Cui Zhu's banquet, how was the food?"
Wei Shui drank sober tea: "Honestly speaking, it's no worse than the one here."
Because it's a confidant, it's an ordinary joke, Chang Xi won't get angry, and kicks his chair with his legs: "Our family has to thank you for not being too happy to leave, right?"
"I'm wronged, the humble officer has the supervisor in mind, and he rushed back right after eating." Wei Shui made a begging gesture, "Today's dinner, that's really interesting."
Chang Xi stepped on the chair, her arms resting casually on her knees: "Tell me."
"It's not the eldest son of Zhongyi, nor the second head of the Songjiang Chamber of Commerce, but the youngest son of Ningji—"
"Him?" When it comes to Ning Ji, Chang Xi might listen to it, but Ning Ruichen, a kid who can see the bottom line at a glance, Chang Xi loses interest and shakes his hands: "Don't mention those gossips, talk about business."
Wei Shui drank tea leisurely: "I see that Shizi and Xie Yan get along well, but who would have thought that the atmosphere would be different once Ning Ruichen arrived."
Chang Xi was surprised: "Cui Zhu's banquet, why invite him?"
"I happened to meet him, that Eunuch Cui, he intends to win over the boy surnamed Ning." Wei Shui put down the hangover tea, his eyes were deep: "Could it be that Ning Ji has already been taken by him..."
"Impossible," Chang Xi blurted out in an instant, "No matter how depraved he is, he won't... Hmph, Cui Zhu is just sent by my good third brother to keep an eye on my every move in Nanjing Well, I was in Nanjing to contain Ning Ji for them, and he would never dare to do such a thing."
"Then Cui Zhu's move—"
"Cui Zhu," Chang Xi suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid it hurts the scene."
Wei Shui didn't know the past of these eunuchs, so he didn't say anything.
When Chang Xi said this, she looked like a woman with a broken mouth: "Before he entered the palace a few years ago, his family was the same as the Ning family, with brocade clothes and tiki, how majestic..."
While chatting, a man dressed in green clothes and a hat came in behind the inner door. He must have come back from the street outside. He was sweating from running in the beginning of autumn. When he met Wei Shui, he saluted hastily, then looked at Chang Xi, and waited for a long time his instructions.
Chang Xi hooked her fingers: "Come here."
The man held his breath, walked over in small steps, and whispered something beside Chang Xi.
Suddenly, Chang Xi's face turned cold.
When Wei Shui saw the messenger leave, he leaned forward and asked, "Duke Gong, what happened?"
"It's hard to say." Chang Xi stood up, walked around and around, and then stood still, looking at Wei Shui.
"The Japanese pirates... The Japanese pirates have made moves." Chang Xi didn't mention what the move was, so he pondered for a while before asking, "Did Xie Yan go to Zhejiang a few days ago?"
Wei Shui got up and was about to answer, when suddenly the eunuch outside came to report: "Eunuch Cui came to visit and brought a letter from the third grandpa in the palace."
"Cui Cui Cui, the reminder is here." Chang Xi spat, shook off the cloak on the shelf, put it on her body, and hurried out, while walking, she turned her head and told: "You go through the back door, go back, and keep an eye on Mr. Yuan." Yu, remember, if Xie Yan is invited, don't go."
Wei Shui got up and turned to the inner door. After exiting the small door, there was a black mountain with white walls. He went down the climbing corridor and walked through the back garden with lush vegetation. Among the shadows of Chuo Song stood a graceful figure.
"It's you." Wei Shui curled one corner of his mouth.
Xiao Langan let out an "hey" and half-hid his face behind the rockery, like a fox fairy that would only appear in the wilderness, with an indescribable charm: "Wei Tongzhi is leaving now?"
"It's getting late, and there's business tomorrow."
Xiao Langan let go of the hand holding the rockery, and walked down slowly holding the hem of the skirt, like a peony flower with dew, stretched out his fingers, and touched Wei Shui's chest: "It's so late, Dugong didn't leave a friend Overnight? Anyway, not once or twice..."
Wei Shui grabbed his slender fingers, causing Xiao Langan to cry out in shock, and fell into his arms, "What are you doing!"
"Follow me, how?"
Xiao Langan touched his chest, it was a real man, and turned his eyes sadly: "I want to go with him, but the Duke won't let me."
Wei Shui was like an impatient reckless man: "The governor thinks highly of me, I asked him for it, and this matter can be done."
Xiao Langan's waist became weak, and he was half paralyzed in Wei Shui's arms, and his voice became rough: "Tongzhi is so courageous."
"Whether it's big or not, we'll find out later..."
"Ah..."
Wei Shui didn't stay long, and the backyard quickly quieted down. Xiao Langan lazily lifted up the silk skirt, hummed softly, and walked back after shedding all her makeup, when she suddenly saw a tall and His similar child stood there, motionless, with big eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets.
Yutuan'er looked at him in shock: "Brother, you, what did you just say?"
Xiao Langgan glanced at the place where Wei Shui left with apricot eyes, as if the wandering just now had never happened, thought for a moment, and took Yu Tuan'er's hand: "Let's go, let's go back and talk."
Uncle Zhongyi’s mansion was about to fall asleep, but the lights in the main room were still on. Two people inside were undressing, and a few eunuchs waiting on undressing were meticulously holding a golden collar with a lock, carefully placing it in the On the offering tray, I wiped it back and forth three times with a fine flannel cloth before locking it into the box.
Ning Ruichen was wearing a pair of brand new clogs, sitting on the edge of the couch, leaning against the fence and shaking his feet.There are more rules in Uncle Zhongyi's mansion than he imagined, and Yuan Junyu will not be treated leniently just because he is the only one in charge. Fortunately, the eunuchs are all busy back and forth outside the screen now, and they have no free time to examine him, a loose boy.
There was the sound of pattering water outside the screen. It was Yuan Junyu washing his hands. Through the blurry screen, he could still see that tall figure. Ning Ruichen still remembered the drama he watched today. Du Liniang and Yuan Junyu overlapped again, he hastily lowered his head and swung it twice.
With a sound of "squeak", it was the eunuch of the sink who went out, and there was no one else in the room.
The candles were dim, and when Ning Ruichen looked up, he saw Yuan Junyu approaching, quickly put away his wobbly feet, and sat cross-legged on the temporary couch: "Brother Yu, let's sleep."
Yuan Junyu brushed his hair back a little, and glanced at the couch he was sitting on: "They're all gone, why are you still sitting there?"
He was referring to those eunuchs, Ning Ruichen blushed: "Let people know."
"I can sleep well in your house, but I can't sleep in my house?" Yuan Junyu held up the candlestick, and just glanced at Ning Ruichen lightly, and Ning Ruichen came down obediently, stepping on the soft floor with bare feet On the carpet, follow him all the way to the big bed inside, bend your knees and climb up.
"In a while," Yuan Junyu looked at him suddenly, "in a while, you don't have to be so restrained when you are at my house."
"Why?" Ning Ruichen lay on his back inside, stretched out the thin quilt, and in a blink of an eye, saw Yuan Junyu's lowered eyes revealing the mole on his eyelid, he drew back his feet, and quietly turned his face away.
"Wait until they all listen to me." There was bitterness in this sentence, Yuan Junyu put the candlestick aside, did not blow it out, and lay down on it herself.
I don't know why, this is not the first time they have slept together in the same bed, but Ning Ruichen felt a little weird, when he turned his face, it was Yuan Junyu's jet-black hair hanging down in front of his eyes like satin.
Yuan Junyu noticed it, and seemed to be smiling: "Like today's play?"
"It's not bad, the appearance, the appearance is beautiful."
"Like danjiao?"
Ning Ruichen wanted to say that he liked your danjiao, but he didn't dare: "It's okay..."
"How about the drama?"
"The drama is also elegant."
"I can't keep a Yueqi at home yet, I'll invite you to see it another day."
Ning Ruichen turned over and couldn't hold back: "Brother Yu, are you really not singing anymore?"
Yuan Junyu didn't speak for a long time, he had a calculation in his heart, and now he was familiar with Ning Ruichen, this little idiot, if he just shook his face, he wouldn't understand it, he only knew that he was angry and didn't understand it. I don't know where the gas comes from.If you explain why you are angry, there is no point in it. You can only use some means to coax him so that he will no longer feel that others are better.
"Brother Yu?" Under the blanket, Ning Ruichen tentatively squeezed Yuan Junyu's hand, "If you're not happy, then pretend I didn't say anything..."
"You know, what do other people think of as an actor?"
Ning Ruichen knew that treating it as a plaything or livestock, he didn't dare to say it, and pulled Yuan Junyu nervously, for fear that he would drive him out.
Yuan Junyu patted his head: "That's why I don't sing, I climb dragons and phoenixes and seek refuge with eunuchs, because I don't want to be treated as a lowly thing."
"When you saw me, did you think I was inferior?"
"No, no." Ning Ruichen curled up into a ball, huddled in the quilt and shook his head, the words in his stomach poured out: "Brother Yu, you don't know, I saw you in Lanquan Temple. I feel good about you."
Yuan Junyu wanted to say something more, but she was stunned when she heard the words, and choked for a moment after the finished manuscript, and Ning Ruichen, who was stuffed under the quilt, continued: "At first, I might feel sorry for you, but later, I put Is it because of fate that you are friends? I think it is true, the fate bestowed on us by the Bodhisattva, otherwise, why did we meet in the temple?"
Yuan Junyu wanted to interrupt, but Ning Ruichen was still rambling: "I never thought you were cheap, so don't mention it again, okay? You have a bad temper and are always sentimental, but I have a good temper. The Bodhisattva must know, so he gave us this fate..." As he spoke, he revealed a pair of eyes from the quilt, and blinked, as if pleading: "Bodhisattva, Brother Yu, don't be angry with me..."
I don't know why, but at this moment, the throbbing in Yuan Junyu's chest became really agitated, and he stammered instead: "You, you said so much, I really..."
Ning Ruichen called out cautiously: "Brother Yu?"
"Who said I have a bad temper?" Yuan Junyu rubbed his face and said in a vicious voice, "Go to sleep quickly."
Ning Ruichen was already tired after a day of trouble, and muttered a few words, Yuan Junyu's breathing became long after turning over.
"Sleep so fast." Yuan Junyu stood up and blew out the candles, and sat for a while, frowning and staring at Ning Ruichen for a while, pointing his fingertips between his brows: "If you want to sing, you have to sing it to someone," he said. Only then did I say what I hadn't said just now, "It doesn't matter if it's a bosom friend."
After the lamp was blown, Yuan Junyu was still tossing and turning, her heart full of turmoil.
How could Ning Ruichen know that Yuan Junyu actually knew about the time at Lanquan Temple. He had already inquired about the dignitaries in Nanjing. As soon as he saw Ning Ruichen, he turned around and told Chang Xi.
For Ning Ruichen, he has always been very scheming, he is not a good person, if he wants to keep Ning Ruichen by his side, he just needs someone who can tell the truth, and he is reluctant to leave.
But what are these words today, and those words in the past?
In the past, Yuan Junyu was involuntary, didn't have time to think, and didn't have the courage to think about it, but Ning Ruichen favored him like this, and did everything he could to please him. He really didn't want anything else, he really just thought he was good?Yuan Junyu stretched his eyelids, feeling complicated. He hardly closed his eyes that night. He heard the cock crowing three times in the middle of the night.
