Hypocrites

Chapter 16

Although Shen Yu is also habitual to speak the truth on weekdays, everyone knows what he means to defend Liang Heng inside and out, but today he does not know what is wrong with his face, Deng Yang didn't dare ask.

"What do you think happened to Bei Chao?" Shen Yu signaled Cui Ji to continue.

"..." Cui Ji had no choice but to say, "It's not a big deal. I heard that Crown Prince Jun was demoted, and the East Palace has no owner. The old and new nobles in the court are gradually confronting each other. The south is exhausted, and the north is in conflict. It's really troublesome. Yes. By the way, last time you said you would bring a friend with you, where is he?"

Shen Yu ruthlessly denied: "I never said that, you remembered wrongly."

Three people: "..."

"That Gao Jun in the north, I heard that he has a good brain, and he will return to the court to take power in a few days." Shen Yu picked up the topic abruptly.

The people didn't know what kind of anger he had caused, so they had no choice but to follow his wishes and continue the chat as if nothing had happened.

The sun is setting, and the sunset is like steaming.The owner of the book shop invited four of them to have a home-cooked meal, bought some dishes from the nearby West Market, served brown rice, and had a hearty meal.

When the market was almost closed, pedestrians left one after another, and there were very few people on the street.However, it started to rain, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and it was gradually pouring down.

The four helped collect the bookstall, but were trapped in the bookstore by the rain and could not leave.

There was no umbrella in the store. Fortunately, the boss saw that the sky was getting dark and the rain was not stopping, so he kindly took the four of them to spend the night in the bookstore.

The storehouse where the books were collected was cleaned up, a layer of hay was spread, and a layer of quilt was put up.The store was usually full of people, and the boss couldn't hold more things. The quilt he slept on was covered with hay, so the four of them could only unfold each other's outer robes to form a simple quilt.

The torrential rain clattered on the roof and the ground.It's the season of autumn rain and cold, and the coolness seeps into the small warehouse.

On a rainy night, the four scholars were locked in the library, unable to sleep no matter what, they read their volumes under the oil lamp.

Deng Yang found a copy of "Pictures of Beautiful Men in Wangdu", which is still in stock.Song Jun then read a volume of slips recording Nan Qi Guanren's merit test, it didn't seem to be written by folks, it probably came out of the palace.The owner of the bookshop is also a well-connected person.

I don't know how long it has passed, only the beeping sound of the wick burning, and the time is silently counted.

The boss suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master Shen, someone is looking for you outside."

Through a slanting wind and torrential rain, Shen Yu followed the boss to the shop while putting on his outer robe.At this time, those who come to look for people are nothing more than the doorman at home, or Shen Jin himself.

However, when I went to the store, I saw the dripping soaked chicken wringing his clothes sadly with his face on his shoulders.

If it's not Liang Heng, who else is it?

"The rain came suddenly, and many people on the street got wet. Here, let's use this to wipe off."

The boss pulled out a cloth strip that was usually used to wipe the dust off the books.Liang Heng pursed his lips and didn't want to answer, but Shen Yu roughly wrapped his head with a dry cloth.

"I don't want..." Liang Heng sneezed without any strength in his voice.

Shen Yu burst into anger: "What do you want? Don't want to study and drink flowers, don't want me to want Duan Yanling? Do you want to have a good rain and continue to lie on the sick bed for ten days?"

Liang Heng was aggrieved by his scolding, and immediately became angry: "What are you doing! I'll come back after talking for a while, isn't this coming back?!"

The sun sets from the top of the mountain in the east to the foot of the mountain in the west, and it takes a while.

Shen Yu's chest was burning hotly, and he kept reminding himself not to exceed the courtier's etiquette, so Liang Heng's ass did not bloom.

Liang Heng's clothes were completely soaked, and there was a puddle of water at his feet. He had just recovered from a serious illness, so it was not appropriate to toss about.Shen Yu told him to take off his clothes.

"All of them?" Liang Heng asked in a low voice.

The boss snores politely behind the counter.

Shen Yu didn't speak, Liang Heng didn't dare to offend the old man, so he honestly took off his clothes.In the dim hut, even the expression on the other side couldn't be seen clearly, only Liang Heng's skin was so white and shiny, like a jade carving.

The air was filled with the smell of scrolls and old pens and inks, and Shen Yu smelled the cold fragrance of the rainy night on Liang Heng's body.

Shen Yu's palms were hot and pressed against Liang Heng's shoulder blades, which startled him.

"I'll do it myself!" Liang Heng said hastily.Xinzhou is his servant, and Shen Yu is his subject. There are many things that Xinzhou can do for him, but Shen Yu is not suitable.

However, Shen Yu didn't say a word, after wiping the water marks on his shoulders and back, he knelt on the ground again, and wiped his feet for him.In the dark, Shen Yu's loose hair before going to sleep slipped to the ground and drifted into the accumulated rain, Liang Heng tied it up for him.

"You put on my clothes first." Shen Yu took off his dry inner clothes to Liang Heng, and he was only wearing a outer robe.

The wet clothes were wrung out by Shen Yu, the rain was slanting, and it was impossible to dry them, so they had to put His Highness's silk and satin on the haystack.

Back in the library, Deng Yang and Cui Ji went nowhere, and only Song Jun was there. Seeing Liang Heng, he didn't recognize this down-and-out person at first, and then he straightened up and sat up: "Dian Dian Dian!"

"What's the matter in the hall, are you not satisfied with the haystack?" Shen Yu said.

Liang Heng guessed that he didn't know that haystacks could sleep on people since he was a child: "Wow..."

"Wow what?" Shen Yu said again, "Sleep."

After extinguishing the two people's desire to communicate, Shen Yu moved away the volumes scattered on the haystack, and signaled Liang Heng to sleep beside him.

Song Jun was dumbfounded, watching the two of them lie down.At this time, Deng Yang and Cui Ji, who had gone out to solve the problem, also came back, and found that there were more people on the already shabby floor.

Cui Ji: "..."

Deng Yang didn't know him yet, so he joked, "Hey, is that the little friend that the childless brother said he brought to meet? You don't come during the day, but you come to sleep at night."

Song Jun desperately gestured to silence.

Deng Yang: "???"

Cui Ji had no expression on his face, and made a mouth shape.

Deng Yang: "!!!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you..." Liang Heng lifted half of his body, wanting to say hello to Deng Yang, but was pushed back by Shen Yu.

"Sleep." Shen Yu gave an order, and Song Jun blew out the candles.

Across the quilt, the dry grass also made Liang Heng itchy all over, writhing around, unable to sleep well.

Deng Yang was also very disturbed, it was gossip behind someone's back, one day the real master came to him, he tossed and turned, not daring to close his eyes, making the haystack rustle.

"Is it over?" Shen Yu asked.

Deng Yang didn't dare to move.

There was a few breaths of silence in the library, and Liang Heng said aggrievedly: "Why do you sleep in the haystack?"

The three huddled together, didn't dare to glance around, only heard a movement from Shen Yu's direction, not knowing what he had done, Liang Heng calmed down.

"You said, why didn't His Highness go back to the palace?" Deng Yang finally couldn't help it, and just as he made a gasp, Song Jun stabbed him in the back.

Being too close, the young man's clean and warm breath continuously drilled into every pore of Shen Yu's body, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.Liang Heng was held in his arms, with his head resting on his arm, and finally he stopped making noise.Shen Yu pressed his chin against Liang Heng's damp hair, and heard Liang Heng whisper in his heart: "Duan Yanling..."

Shen Yu rolled his eyes.

"They are still in the Xie Ling Pavilion. When I left, it hadn't rained yet. On normal rainy days, we would all sleep in the pavilion for the night."

Sleeping overnight with hay in the library, of course it is incomparable to the tenderness of Xie Ling Pavilion.However, Shen Yu remained silent, knowing that the most important thing in Liang Heng's words was that it hadn't rained when he left.

"I said I would come back to find you." Liang Heng said, breathing into Shen Yu's chest.

"Got it." Shen Yu replied, stroking his hair.

On the other side of the haystack, Deng Yang couldn't help it again: "Tell me, do you know that your Highness knows that we can hear him talking there?" He was attacked again by Song Jun's waist and eyes.

A night of autumn rain caused the leaves of Wangdu City to wither one after another. Get up early to see that the bare branches are left, announcing the arrival of the north wind, and everything is dormant.

The rough and humid night not only made Liang Heng drink the bitter medicine for a while, but also caused Shen Yu to be severely criticized by Shen Jin.

Shen Jin is used to being nice and nice, and rarely speaks harshly, but when she saw Liang Heng coming to attend the class sickly, she still threw the slip of paper at Shen Yu.

"It's the easiest to catch cold when it rains at night in autumn! Do you know?"

Shen Yu respectfully bowed his head and stood: "I know."

"His Royal Highness is just recovering from a serious illness, don't you know?!"

Shen Yu was scolded, but Liang Heng was terrified: "Sir, it's me..."

"A gentleman should be frugal to cultivate his character, and quiet to cultivate his body." Shen Jin still scolded Shen Yu, "I don't live in the main hall, but I commit myself to the thatched cottage. I don't know if I'm wrong?!"

Liang Heng: "..."

From then on, Shen Jin seemed to have grasped Liang Heng's life, and whenever he made a mistake, Shen Yu must be blamed.This made Liang Heng very at a loss, and was forced to be honest for quite a while.

In a blink of an eye, autumn and winter come, the dragon dives into the cold pool, and the mid-month frost falls.

The two stone beasts in front of the palace gate are covered with a layer of floating white.

Duan Yanling hadn't seen Liang Heng for several months, and when he came to his door today, all the insects were gone in the winter, and the huge palace was silent, which was very different from Duan Yanling's long-lasting memory.

It was so easy to meet a little yellow door.

"Where is Your Highness?"

"Morning attendance and evening worship are also worshiping books."

When I was feeding a horse again, the donkey's head was not right for the horse's mouth, saying that it was impossible to learn.When I met a raccoon woman again, she said that a gentleman must choose his hometown when he lives, and he must be a scholar when he travels.

All the ministers he met were dissatisfied, and Duan Yanling was confused, thinking that he had entered the monastery by mistake.

There was no one in the pavilion in the lake, no one in the bedroom hall, no one in the Qingliang hall, the greenhouse hall, no one anywhere. Finally, Duan Yanling passed by the side hall, and saw Liang Heng's silhouette endorsing the book through the open window.

Mr. Duan who never listened to a class seriously: "..."

"If you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; if you don't face a deep stream, you don't know the depth of the earth; if you don't hear the last words of the ancient kings, you don't know the greatness of learning..."

Liang Heng's endorsement was done in one go without a single pause.

"Hello, Your Highness!" Duan Yanling called to him through the bushes along the steps.

Liang Heng turned a deaf ear to it: "The sons of Qian, Yue, Yi, and raccoon dogs are born with the same voice, but they grow up different from the customs, and they are taught to make it so."

"Your Highness! It's me!" Duan Yanling picked up a small stone and smashed it on the window sill of the study with a loud bang.

Liang Heng suddenly went crazy: "I'm so annoying, stop arguing! Where did I recite?!"

Another person appeared by the window.For the rest of his life, Duan Yanling's impression of Shen Yu remained on this mocking face - Shen Yu closed the screen window in front of him.
