Hypocrites

Liang Heng didn't know why Duan Yanling was depressed. After recovering from his injury, he moved into the deep forest of Zhangshan Mountain to hide from the world and temporarily lived in Dong Xian's house.Recently he has another annoyance.

Dong Xian originally wanted to connect Shen Yu and recommend him to be a lecturer in the newly-built academy in Zhangshan County, but the squire who agreed to pay for the house was bankrupt because his son gambled, and the government was unwilling to pay the money, so he built the academy. The matter was put on hold.The county sheriff, who is in desperate need of success, and Shen Yu, a jobless vagrant, have a headache.

"If I want to be rich, I'll buy this mountain and make it my backyard. Do you think I look rich?" Dong Xian said anxiously, and put a finger into the broken shoe that hadn't been changed in ten years. pick feet.

Ding Kou suggested from the side: "I still have some capital, I will lend you some money to build the academy."

Shen Yu hurriedly said, "Sister Ding, I can't take your money."

Dong Xiandao: "Uh, should I say it or not, in fact, the old man Cui's family is quite rich, even though he and your family are both in the business of scholars, the family is rich..."

Shen Yu: "The Cui family's money cannot be borrowed!"

"Look," Dong Xian said, "he is anxious when it comes to money, just like your single-minded father! Is there anything you can't borrow? You saved his grandson and he gave you a house. Isn't it a fair deal?" ?”

"That's different!"

"What's the difference? Will you renege on your debt?"

The two insisted on their own words, arguing endlessly.Ding Kou heard that his ears were callused, and invited Liang Heng to prepare dinner with her. Shen Yu took time out of the quarrel to remind: "He is still taking care of his body, don't let him do heavy work."

"Understood." Ding Kou rolled his eyes back.

Ding Kou took Liang Heng to a lake a mile away to fetch water and came back with vegetables. The sunset glow turned from red to purple, tired birds returned to their nests, and the forest became lively.

"Are you Mr. Cui's grandson?" Ding Ko asked casually, "The son of his family doesn't seem to be your father's age."

Liang Heng said: "You are talking about my uncle, I am... I am the eldest son."

"I heard Mr. Shen always called you Heng'er, your name is Cui Heng?"

"..."

Ding Kou smiled and said, "Master Cui, you and Mr. Shen are so close, how about lending him some money to start an academy? Don't think he refuses to ask for help. In fact, when people are in trouble, they always need someone to help them." It is very difficult for one person to survive alone, so we live in groups and take care of each other. When there are no parents to rely on, can't we only rely on friends?"

Liang Heng didn't answer, but said in his heart: Of course I know he worked hard.

The lake is embedded in the mountain depression, with no wind or waves, it is as calm as a piece of glass, and the clouds roll in it, revealing the shape of time.

Liang Heng suddenly remembered, and asked Ding Kou, "I heard that Mr. Dong found a huge stone inlaid with gemstones in this lake?"

"This matter, the old man is very proud, and he will boast about it after drinking. But don't believe it, if gemstones can be found in the lake, Ruyang would have been bought by him long ago. Guess he was in the lake that day What are you doing?"

"Do what?"

"Taking a bath." Ding Koo blinked mysteriously.

Ding Kou took the water, and the two went back to the house. When they went to the courtyard, they heard Shen Yu say to Dong Xian: "I want to sell the academy in Ruyang, but I won't need it anyway."

"Absolutely not! That's your ancestral house, don't be an unworthy descendant!"

The Shen family originally had a ready-made academy in Ruyang, and the revival of the family business was smooth sailing, at least not worrying about money.But everyone there knew Shen Yu, knew the address of Shen's family, and even the assassins were familiar with it.For Liang Heng's convenience, Shen Yu planned to take root in a strange place.

The harsh sound of bearings at the courtyard door interrupted the conversation, Shen Yu glanced out and stopped talking.

Liang Heng pretended he didn't hear it, and pushed the door open, "I can't catch rabbits."

"I'll go." Shen Yu stood up, with a natural demeanor, without any apparent concern.The two tacitly went to the shed to catch rabbits, waiting to eat rabbit meat soup pot at night.

Resting in the mountains at night is not as quiet as in the city. There are always insects singing, which is because the weather is getting warmer.People's hearts were also disturbed by the noise, and they tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so Liang Heng rolled over and straddled Shen Yu.Dong Xian is next door to them, and the wall has been drilled many holes by termites, so don't expect sound insulation.

Shen Yu held his wrist and asked in an airy voice: What are you doing?

do it.Liang Heng answered him with his lips, his lips pressed against his chest, his tongue nimbly rolled away the hem of his clothes, wetly slid along the skin texture to his Adam's apple, like teasing a shy fruit, licking it up and down at times.

Shen Yu's hand supporting Liang Heng's back/hip was as stiff as a stone.

Because the medical officer ordered that he should not work hard while recuperating, he had the intention of offering up Liang Heng, hoping that he would not be able to eat it.Eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name for a month is no problem, but eating meat at someone's house at night is very problematic.

Liang Heng felt like a snake demon seducing an eminent monk, lingeringly crawling up to the monk's ear and blowing: You listen to how others sleep to death...

Dong Xian snorted loudly.

Shen Yu pressed the back of his head and kissed him. At first, only the complaining sound of the bed frame was heard in the room, and then there were two quick breaths.The bed sighed, and stared at the piles of clothes on the ground until midnight.

After being injured once, Liang Heng's body was not much flesh, and it was brittle everywhere. As soon as Shen Yu pinched him, he made a low nasal sound, like pain and pleasure.A happy bird flew into his body, bumping around, until Liang Heng couldn't help but open his mouth, Shen Yu came up to kiss him, turned him over while kissing, and smiled at him on his back: Shhh ,keep your voice down.

The sound of Dong Xian's snoring was like a signal mastered by Shen Yu, Liang Heng was blown up into the clouds with his snoring, and then fell down in silence.Shen Yu's hot chest pressed against his back, trying to burn him to death: counting by himself, one two, one two...

Liang Heng was about to bite through the quilt, with tears in his eyes, and only one thought in his mind - how can he snore so rhythmically!

People stay up late at night for their own reasons.Looking at the capital city, all the bureaucrats came back from the wine shop, and they crowded into Nanlu with all smiles on their faces.Ting Lieutenant Huo Liang took Jiang Zhi's arm and was very kind: "Master Jiang, Master Jiang! I always admire you very much! Since I have you in the office, my work has been relieved a lot! Today I respect you Three cups is really too little, I want to toast you six cups!"

All the officials made fun of him: "Master Huo was so drunk that he was talking nonsense after drinking three cups. After drinking six cups, we had to ask Madam to carry him back!"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Huo Liang said drunkenly, "A while ago, Pei Hui brought more than 20 bandits from Shixing, and handed them over to Lao Tzu to deal with. I can handle it alone? Thanks to Mr. Jiang for sharing ! Otherwise, I will stay in the yamen every day and night, and my wife will stay alone in the empty boudoir!"

Everyone was laughing up and down.

"Hey, don't talk about government affairs," Jiang Zhi smiled, "Don't talk about government affairs."

Don't wait for everyone to return to their homes, and the hall is still lit.Jiang Zhi saw that the long line of animals in the stables were still grazing leisurely, so she scolded the servants, "Why haven't you set off yet? Didn't you order them to be sent out of the city earlier?"

Madam came down to greet her: "That family must wait until you come back, and thank you before they are willing to leave."

There were two elderly people in the hall, they would kneel when they saw Jiang Zhi.

"It's absolutely impossible," Jiang Zhi evaded, "I do things according to my conscience, not for anyone, and I have never bestowed favors on anyone."

The old woman was not very old, but her face was full of wind and frost. Tears filled the gullies, and she said: "Without Mr. Jiang's help, our family would be ruined at the feet of the emperor. Mr. Jiang's kindness, our husband and wife will never forget it!"

Jiang Zhi said: "Those who commit crimes with evil intentions should be punished; those who are coerced to do wrong things should pay him back justice. You don't need to thank me. In fact, it is inconvenient for me to hear this case publicly, so I can only rely on my position. It’s shameful to do such a thing, to rescue each other in secret.”

"My lord, please don't say that. No one in this world cares about little people like us except adults..."

Who else?

A figure of a young man appeared in front of Jiang Zhi's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Of course there are. If he hadn't written to me begging me, I wouldn't have made up my mind to risk myself, let alone come up with such a cunning scheme. In short, for the sake of If there are no side effects, you should go far away quickly!"

The servants harnessed the horses to the cart and opened the curtain.Several people quietly walked out of the side gate of Jiangfu, the second elder got into the car, and picked up another man wrapped in a cloak.

"Master Jiang, the grace of saving life can only be repaid in the next life!"

"Come on."

Jiang Zhi waved goodbye to the carriage.In the twilight, houses, streets, carriages, and travelers all merge into chaos.

The madam breathed a sigh of relief: "You hid me in the mansion. I really feel restless every day and can't sleep at night. I'm always worried that my house will be ransacked."

Jiang Zhi said flatly: "From now on, we have nothing to do, the emperor and the prime minister still can't take care of themselves."

"How did that happen?"

"It's just because of a blood letter," Jiang Zhi replied, "When the prime minister received this blood letter and rushed to the dungeon, what was waiting for him was a dumb and disabled prisoner. He didn't know that this person was no longer that person, let alone that the letter The blood letter was not written in prison, but sent out from my house. This letter was not only sent to the prime minister, but in a sense, it was also sent to the emperor. Just one letter caused the two people to be suspicious and fight endlessly... ..."

Jiang Zhi shook his head: "It's fortunate that this son's ambition is not to fight for power and profit."

Madam said: "I don't understand."

"Forget it if you don't understand, it has nothing to do with us, go back home and sleep. Look, the Sophora japonica is blooming, let's make Sophora japonica cake tomorrow..."

One night of east wind, flowers cover the branches.

Duan Yanling carried a jug of wine and poured it under the beam of Zhu Hong's door, thinking that he had arrived at his own home, but when he looked up, it was "Lian Zhai".

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Ouch!" The night watchman took a look, isn't this Mr. Duan or Mr. Duan?Hurry up and call the master.

Duan Yanling drunkenly embraced the stone pier in front of the steps, dimly saw Lian Zhen coming out to meet him.

"Liansha, little fool, come and drink, you can only rest when you're drunk!"

I was so dizzy that I couldn't hold my hands steady, and the wine pot was poured on the stone steps.Wine and floral aromas brewing and fermenting.

"You're drinking again!" Lian Zhen scolded him, "Let's find your father to get the family law! I've already been demoted, and I'm white, so I'm not worthy of drinking with your lord!"

Lian Zhen was about to dump him and go back to the house, but Duan Yanling hugged his legs tightly: "Don't go, don't go! I'll treat you to a drink! Let's go to the Xie Ling Pavilion! Send someone to bring my cousin over, and let the people Have fun, hiccup..."

Lian Zhen was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "I'll give you a ride and let you go down to meet him!"

"Don't go! Let's drink together!"

"Don't make noise at my door!" Lian Zhen was very angry, "Woke up my father! I finally fell asleep after being injured!"

Duan Yanling showed loving eyes: "You fool, how pitiful, I love you, I love you fool!"

Lian Zhen got goosebumps all over his body, took great effort to pull Duan Yanling down, and said to the night watchman: "You go to Duan's house and call someone!" After saying that, he threw Duan Yanling down and closed the door.

"Don't go! Don't go!" Duan Yanling didn't answer the knock on the door, and slipped to the ground along the crack of the door. The jug was smashed into pieces, and a lot of fine liquid flowed out. The broken porcelain shone with a sharp and crystal luster, like falling Xiao Stars, ride the wind and drop a few Sophora japonica flowers...

The fragrance of flowers filled Shen Yu's chest when he pushed the door open.

In the yard, pheasants ran all over the ground, and rabbits and hares walked beside them.Ding Ko rolled up his sleeves to sift the beans, and when he saw Shen Yu going out, he asked, "Where is Mr. Cui?"

Shen Yu reacted for a while, and realized that she was asking Liang Heng.Liang Heng disappeared early in the morning, and Shen Yu also felt strange, he slept well, but he couldn't wake up when he didn't see anyone in the morning, and besides, where could he go in the mountains?

"If you have nothing to do, come and help me sift the beans."

The two of them sat on the mat, each holding a handful of beans, and blowing air along the way when they were evenly leaking, blowing away the mixed ash.Shen Yu is very clever, but he is not as sharp as Ding Kou in his work. He blows beans while blowing, which makes his body uncoordinated. Ding Kou teased him and said: "Mr. Woolen cloth?"

Shen Yu was taught: "What you said is that I will go down the mountain to work to earn money immediately, and strive to save enough to buy the academy as soon as possible."

After a while, Ding Kou was done, and there was still a pile of beans in front of Shen Yu, so she clapped her hands and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, leaving Shen Yu alone in the yard.

After the morning mist dissipated, Liang Heng returned slowly, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand.

"Where did you go to play?" Shen Yu asked.

Liang Heng found a place beside him and sat on the ground: "The town at the foot of the mountain. The morning market is really lively. Do you want to eat?"

He handed the candied haws to Shen Yu's mouth, and Shen Yu calmly refused: "Wait until I finish my work."

Liang Heng quietly accompanied him to blow the beans, the soft sound of the icing being bitten by him was like the dewy leaves scratching one's ankle in the morning.After blowing the beans, the candied haws have also been eaten.

Shen Yu looked at him with folded arms, meaning, what are you giving me now?

Liang Heng took out a heavy money bag from his sleeve pocket, threw it to Shen Yu, and opened it to see that it was full of white silver ingots.

"The last time I pawned the jade crown to someone who didn't know the goods, I just exchanged it for a bowl of ginseng soup," Liang Heng said disdainfully, "This time it's worth the price. Well, don't talk about an academy, I can also give you one Sanjin's mansion."

Shen Yu held the money bag and didn't speak for a long time, then suddenly leaned over and kissed Liang Heng's mouth.

"Sweet."

"I didn't eat my mouth full."

"It's Sophora japonica," Shen Yu said, "Sophora japonica is in bloom, I picked it to make scented tea for you."
