"Hands are good, don't hold them tight." Jiang Weiyan separated his fingers one by one and pinched them lightly, "If you don't want to, we will be like before. You have never heard these words. You can put I can be a friend, a comrade-in-arms, or a brother, as long as you don't hide from me. Bianjing is only a big place, where can you hide?"

"I didn't hide..."

Jiang Weiyan followed him and said, "Yes, you didn't hide, you just didn't see me in front of you."

"..."

"I won't tease you anymore." Jiang Weiyan said seriously, "After the spring search, I will go to Jiangnan."

"What to do?"

"To inspect the barracks, I will go for a month, and you don't have to bother to hide from me during this month."

Bai Lian pulled out his hand calmly, turned around and adjusted the neatly placed tributes on the desk, and said, "Oh, I see."

Jiang Weiyan raised his eyebrows, "Is this the only reaction? Why don't you say anything else?"

Bai Lian looked back at him, "What else?"

Jiang Weiyan pondered for a moment, pretending to be serious and said: "For example, go early and return early? Don't make me miss it for too long? Do you want to miss me every day?"

"..." Baili Eucalyptus looked at him with a blank face, "You started again, right?"

After Jiang Weiyan left, Bai Lian let out a heavy breath. He looked at Mu Jingyan's spiritual seat, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I'm sorry, it has involved your sadness, just blame me."

Rime Mountain.

Yuan Yu leaned against the door with folded arms, looked at Bai Lian standing under the eaves watching the rain, and said, "Are you here to be a statue?"

Bai Lian: "Master was joking."

Yuan Yu laughed and said, "Hey, you can talk. Master thought your heart and mouth flew to the south of the Yangtze River together."

Bai Lian turned around and said calmly: "It's nothing."

Yuan Yu stared into his eyes, "Say more."

Thyme Eucalyptus: "...a little bit."

Yuan Yu sighed helplessly, and said: "One likes it to death but dare not say it, and the other obviously likes it but pretends not to like it, you two are really awkward compared to one another."

"I do not have."

"I don't like him, you can stare at the chessboard he sent all morning? Can you stand here for an hour?" Yuan Yu put his shoulders, "Don't deceive yourself."

Bai Lian lowered his eyes and whispered: "Master, you know, I don't have much time."

Yuan Yu said solemnly: "It's not the end yet, Master will not give up, and you are not allowed to give up either."

"Master, I always think, he said he likes me, but if I die, how long will he remember me? One year or two years?"

"How long do you want him to remember?"

"I hope he will forget it quickly." Bai Lian smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, it will be too bitter to keep remembering a person I will never see again."

Yuan Yu looked into the distance and lamented, "Yes, it's very bitter."

"When I think of this possibility, I will start to waver." Bai Lian said, "I shouldn't be shaken. Does it mean that I just need to cut off all possibilities from the beginning?"

"Master can't answer this question for you. But you can think about it, what would you do if Ah Yan had only a few years left to live?" Yuan Yu dropped the question, patted him on the back, turned and went back into the house .

Bai Lian stretched out his hand, and the rain gradually became heavier, and the palm of the hand would hurt when the raindrops hit it.

He suddenly thought that if Jiang Weiyan was by his side, he would grab it back the moment he stretched out his hand, and he would keep holding it in his hand without letting go.

After an unknown amount of time, his hands were cold from the rain, and he murmured in a deep voice.

"I would like to remember him."

***

The day Jiang Weiyan went to Jiangnan happened to be Grain Rain, and the weather was gloomy. It rained for several days in a row, which made Baili Eucalyptus feel inexplicably depressed.

"Master? Master!"

"Ah?" Bai Lian came back to his senses, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Zhi pointed to the paper on the table, "What is master thinking? I have been holding the pen for a long time, but I still haven't written it. The paper is soaked in ink."

Bai Lian looked down, gave a "tsk", depressedly crumpled the paper and threw it into the wastebasket, propped his head and sighed heavily.

"Master has always been in a state of mind these days, but he is not feeling well, do you need me to ask Yuan Yu's doctor to take a look?"

"No need, I'm fine." Bai Lian looked out the window and asked, "Is it 25 today?"

Feng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Bai Lian looked irritable, "It's been raining for five days, and it hasn't stopped."

"Master doesn't like rainy days, why don't I close the window, so I won't be bothered if I can't see it."

"No, just leave it on." Bai Lian muttered in a daze, "It has been raining since Grain Rain, and I don't know if it is also raining in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Jiangnan..." Feng Zhi suddenly realized, "Oh! Master is thinking about Young Lord Jiang!"

Hearing a "click", Bai Lian snapped the Langhao brush in his hand. He pretended to be calm and covered up, "When did I say that I miss him?"

Feng Zhi pursed his lips, and muttered softly: "Didn't you still mention Jiangnan just now..."

"I, did I say Jiangnan..." Bai Lian rubbed the tip of his nose, did he speak his mind just now?

He coughed and said awkwardly, "That..."

Feng Zhi responded: "What's wrong?"

Bai Lian hesitated to speak, opened his mouth but hesitated to speak, waved his hand after a while, and said: "It's okay, you go to the backyard to see the crescent moon, don't let it get wet in the rain."

"Oh, I'm going now." After finishing speaking, Feng Zhi turned around and left.

"and many more."

Feng Zhi was about to go crazy, he turned around, looked at Bai Lian unrequitedly, and said sadly: "Master, what exactly are you trying to say?!"

Bai Lian tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "Is there anything I need to go to Jiangnan to do recently?"

Feng Zhi thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Uh...it seems not."

"Really?" Bai Lian said with disbelief on his face, "Isn't it? In the past years, there were always officials going to Jiangnan to do business. How come they are all right here?"

"My master said that if the officials under the Zhongshumen are officials, they would indeed go to the south of the Yangtze River every year. But there are very few Privy Councils, especially the Privy Council Envoys will hardly leave Bianjing, and the long-distance travel is done by the Privy Council Deputy Envoys or the Privy Council. "

"That's it..." Bai Lian mused, "I'm not someone who doesn't care about my subordinates, I should be able to do things myself."

Feng Zhi: "..."

Bai Lian frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "The deputy privy envoy inspected the barracks, and the privy envoy went to help, is there no problem?"

Feng Zhi didn't dare to have a problem, "No, as long as the master is happy."

Bai Liyan made a final decision, "Okay, then we will leave tomorrow. Go to the Privy Council and tell Li Yuan about it, and say that I have something to leave Bianjing, and he will do all the official duties of the Privy Council before I come back."

Baili An got up and walked towards the backyard in a happy mood, "Bring an osmanthus cake when you come back. The road is slippery in rainy days, so be careful on the road."

***

Three days later, Lin'an.

Lin'an Yanliu Painting Bridge, wind curtain and emerald curtain, people are bustling along the way, and the noise is endless.

Before coming here, Feng Zhi had inquired about Jiang Weiyan's whereabouts, almost every day at two o'clock and one line, "Master, are we going to Xuanyu Camp or Leng's house now?"

"Go to eat first, and then go around Lin'an City."

"Ah?" Feng Zhi couldn't understand, the master rushed to Lin'an non-stop, but he had dinner first?

Bai Lian found a restaurant, "I'm here to inspect and play, don't make it seem like I'm here specifically to find him."

Feng Zhi whispered: "...it would be best."

Bai Lian said that he wanted to visit Lin'an, but he sat in the restaurant until sunset.

Baili Eucalyptus finally got up, "Go for a walk outside."

At sunset, the whole of Lin'an was shrouded in a light golden halo.

Bai Lian walked unhurriedly, seeming to be wandering, but in fact, he bypassed the streets with a strong purpose. He didn't even know whether the owners of the stalls on the street were men or women, or what they were selling. .

It was Fengzhi's first time in An'an, and he was not familiar with the streets and alleys here at all, and he didn't know where Bai Lian was going, so he didn't answer when asked, so he could only follow behind him with his burden on his back.

After rounding a corner, Bai Lian finally stopped.

His face was calm, the corners of his mouth were still straight, as usual, no emotion could be seen, but his deep and beautiful eyebrows softened in an instant.

He saw the man appearing in the fading afterglow, walking towards him step by step.

His heart was a little uncontrollable, Bai Lian hated himself like this, but couldn't help but want to get closer.

Not promising.Bai Lian scolded herself in her heart.

It was very unexpected to see Baili Eucalyptus here, but I haven't seen him for a few days, but Jiang Weiyan feels as if he hasn't seen him for a long, long time, and misses him so much.

Jiang Weiyan paused, then quickly walked over.

The two stood at the door of Leng's house and looked at each other.

Bai Lian decided to strike first, and immediately said, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Weiyan: "???"

"I remember I told Your Highness to come and inspect it? And this is my mother's mansion, isn't it normal for me to appear here?" Jiang Weiyan stared at his eyes like the morning light of autumn, and said with a smile, "I don't know why Your Highness Will you be here? Come to me?"

Baili An's face remained unchanged, "...I'm here for an outing."

Standing aside, Feng Zhi had already raised his hand to cover his forehead, and couldn't bear to look directly at him, "..."

Jiang Weiyan: "???"

It seemed that he didn't expect this answer. After a while, he laughed lowly, "What are you stepping on? I shouldn't have heard wrong, right?"

"Traveling. I heard that Lin'an is picturesque in spring. It just so happens that I don't have any business to do recently, so I'm going out for a walk."

Feng Zhi: Hehe, if Li Yuan hears this, he can rush from Bianjing to Lin'an immediately, and throw a few stacks of papers in front of the master.

Bai Lian began to talk seriously again, "Master told me not to stay in the house all day long, it's good for my health to go out for a walk, I just listen to his old man's words. You also know the words 'respect the teacher and respect the way'" I've always had it in my heart..."

Jiang Weiyan interrupted him with a smile: "All right, all right, I'll treat you as an outing, so I won't make it difficult for you to make up nonsense."

Thyme Eucalyptus: "..."

Thank you so much, I really can't make it up.

Jiang Weiyan saw the things in Feng's hand, and asked, "Why are you still carrying the burden? Didn't find a place to stay?"

"Ah?" Bai Lian didn't expect to make up a new one, "Yes, yes, I have been searching for an inn all afternoon but I haven't found one that suits me, so I am going to continue looking."

Feng Zhi: "..."

All right, the master will do whatever he says, it's hard for Young Master Jiang to listen to so much nonsense.

Jiang Weiyan pressed Bailian and turned to the side, facing Leng's house, said: "Look, is this mansion satisfactory?"

"Alright."

"Can you condescend to stay here?"

"It seems to be okay."

Jiang Weiyan smiled, turned back and said to Feng Yi: "Go and tidy up the two wing rooms and come out, and light tranquilizing incense in His Highness's room."

Feng Yi: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Jiang Weiyan embraced the person, feeling extremely happy, "Let's go, Your Highness."

The sky gradually darkened, and no one noticed the slightly raised corners of Thyme's mouth.
