Shen Langgui

Back to Xianmiandu, the setting sun is pulsing with water.After getting out of the carriage, Cheng Yin took away a tank of koi, Shen Yue also carried it from left to right, and leaned forward looking for a basket, but Shen Yue pushed it away: "Don't move!"

As the name suggests, Xianmian Ferry was originally an ancient ferry, and it was only after Shaou chose the site to build a courtyard here that he took such a unique name.Xun He was puzzled, and saw Shen Yue walking to the small ditch in front of the door, breaking off a twig from a willow tree by the water, inserting a thin-waisted and thin-bodied porcelain vase that he just bought, holding Xun He's palm, and placing the vase on it, Then adjust the palm of the Xunhe holding bottle to be at the same level as the chest.Just then, Xunhe was forced by Shen Yue's bad taste to change his hakama, and now he is wearing Shen Yue's silver moonlight hakama, because of the sweltering heat in the carriage, Shi Qing's official robe has long since faded, and now he is only wearing the Yunxue jacket.Shen Yue looked up and down, and finally took away the jade hairpin that tied Xun He's hair, and the black hair fell down like a waterfall in an instant. Xun He's face was like jade, and at the same time, his whole body was pure white, suddenly he didn't look like an ordinary person in the world.

"Pfft!" Although Cheng Yin covered his mouth, the laughter still slipped out.

Shen Yue squinted at him: "Like it!"

Cheng Yin hurriedly echoed: "Like! It's so similar!"

Only Qiu Langzhong who was involved was at a loss, he didn't know what was going on between the two of them, so he could only ask, "What looks like what?"

Cheng Yin didn't hold back his smile, and explained kindly: "Master Shen once told me that Mr. Qiu looks like a walking Bodhisattva in white."

Looking back at himself, it's a pity that the authorities are confused, and can't see why, Shen Yue hugged him, and comforted him: "Your right hand is not good, from now on, if you have heavy objects, you must ask Cheng Yin to do it for you." Then he straightened Xun He Holding the bottle in the palm of his hand, he said with a smile, "Leave the heavy work to us, just pretend to be a living Bodhisattva quietly. Let's go home."

At first he laughed helplessly, but Shen Yue blurted out the phrase "go home" so naturally that Xun He froze for a moment, in a trance, the time seemed to go back to six years ago, after finishing the daily official errands, Shen Yue The situation that calls for Shen carp to return home.

It's just that it's at a loss now.

The courtyard is quiet and quiet, bypassing the Phoebe Hall, entering the inner courtyard path, but seeing a figure half hidden behind the flowers and trees in front, only by the corner of the clothes, Xun He still recognized the person, calling out: "Peng Yu?"

The girl was still dressed like a prince, she rarely looked blank, Xun He thought it was cute, so she asked, "Why are you in a daze here?"

Peng Yu was frightened, and leaned out: "Master?" After recovering, he hesitated again, and said, "I..."

Xun He understood, and said to Shen Yue: "Master, you and Cheng Yin go up first, and I'll be back in a while." After the two of them walked away, Xun He pulled the girl to sit on the stone bench under the flower tree, and continued, "Today Jiuwan Have fewer errands? It's rare to see you come back early."

The girl nodded, a thin layer of blush appeared on her cheeks, and she hesitated to speak.

Xun He asked in a low voice: "Is there something on your mind?... Has something to do with Sha Ou?"

Peng Yu didn't answer, but her cheeks were even more flushed, Xun He knew it, and asked: "A good thing is near?"

Peng Yu punched Xun He with a fist, "No, it's just me... It's just that I feel like I'm negotiating deals every day, and the price is high, so I don't look like someone who can take care of the whole family." Girls...I'm like this...I shouldn't be liked..."

Xun He didn't reply immediately, but instead asked: "Shaou, he hates you like this? Or did he give a hint?"

Peng Yu could deny it: "He didn't! It's just that I was afraid of offending him. After all... after all, there is no one like me in a traditional girl's house..."

"Okay, then let me ask you, if Sha Ou is willing to marry you, the condition is that after the marriage, you can only go out of the door and never walk through the door all day long, and be a good wife who lives peacefully in the room. Think about it, such Day, are you having a good time?"

After thinking for a moment, Peng Yu said: "It's natural to be happy, but there are some regrets in this happiness."

"Since it's not Sha Ou telling you that you can't, then the first thing you should do is to strive for the best of both worlds, instead of shrinking from others." After thinking for a while, Xun He added, "It's just a matter of begging for a coincidence in the future, and then I will change into this young man's attire." , put on the palace flowers I brought you, and I will make arrangements for Sha Ou, so you two can have a good talk."

The girl poked Xun He with an elbow, and murmured: "That's why you gave me the palace flower. But..."

"Still hesitating?"

Peng Yu shook his head: "No, Young Master is always making arrangements for my affairs, but it is rare for you to worry about Yin Zhang."

Xun He was slightly taken aback, and then laughed: "Yinzhang, first of all, I feel more at ease with her, after all, she is much more lively than you. Secondly, I talked to her about Li Hai, and I persuaded her She, who cannot be resurrected after death, will cherish the person in front of her from now on. Looking at her and Yan Ru now... I guess she has figured it out."

"Yeah, Li Hai took care of everything back then, even someone as dull as me could see it. It's a pity that Yinzhang was full of worries... After all, I'm not the same now." Peng Yu laughed, and immediately relieved, "Fortunately, there is a young master, you always help us when we are in trouble. That young master... and now that the third lady is not here, you haven't thought about continuing?"

Xun He couldn't laugh or cry, everyone in Xianmiandu knew about his affair with Shen Yue, only Peng Yu was still kept in the dark.However, Xun He didn't expect to be with Shen Yue for a long time, so he didn't want to show it off, he just said: "Let's go with fate, I don't have expectations, so I won't be disappointed."

Peng Yu only thought that what Xun He said was referring to his future wife.

After saying a few more words, Xun He left and went up the mountain.

Instructing Cheng Yin to put the crock on the edge of the stream, Shen Yue went straight to the small kitchen in the backyard, and the ten balls of dough lined up on the table had all been made, and each of them swelled up a circle, and Shen Yue went down when kneading the dough. Red yeast rice, vermilion diluted with white flour, presents a delicate pink color, which is really attractive.Shen Yue took out a ball, rolled it out in the palm of his hand, put the kneaded bean paste ball in the center, wrapped it with the skin and rolled it back into a ball again. It was easy to handle, and within two quarters of an hour, ten dough balls filled with bean paste were kneaded Alright, I used a knife to draw two intersecting crosses on the surface of the sphere, cleaned the pot, and then poured oil in. Then I heard an exclamation from outside: "This..."

Xun He's voice.

Shen Yue immediately put down his work, walked outside, and saw Xun He walking leisurely into the yard.Standing side by side with Xun He for a while, still refusing to listen to his lover's judgment, Shen Yue couldn't hold back, and asked cautiously: "Is it still acceptable?"

Looking around, Xun He rarely smiled happily, "That's great." Shen Yue didn't have time to let go, and heard Xun He add, "This kind of courtyard is the place where I should live."

The joy that had just erupted suddenly died down, and Shen Yue frowned: "Is this yard built for me?" When he said that, he took Xun He's hand, quickly stepped onto the bridge deck, pushed aside the high and low round leaves, and revealed the place hidden behind the leaves. Duo Xiaohe came out with her hands in her hands, "Who said that he wanted to admire lotuses in the courtyard?"

Xun He was stunned.

Shen Yue let go, the flower buds bounced back to the leaves, turned around and hugged Xun He from behind, and said softly: "This whole yard, except for the waterway, bamboo pavilion, and grassland, was created by me. I planted it with my own hands. It’s ridiculous that you have been so busy all day long that you didn’t even notice that there was an extra viewing window in the thatched house.”

Xun He poked his hands into the layers of round leaves, stroked the lotus petals with his fingertips, and murmured, "How can I be able to get Master Shen to take care of me like this."

"Here again!" With a vicious mouth, but with actions, he squeezed Xun He's earlobe in one bite, and the tip of his tongue slid across the tender flesh behind his ear, which made the body in his arms stiff instantly, satisfied with the prank, and Shen Yue let go, "This is terrible." When will the fault of being polite be corrected? It was the same in the Shen Mansion in the past." Shen Yue lowered his head and found what was in Xun He's palm, and couldn't help laughing, "Fool! I told you to hold the bottle, but you really didn't dare to let go all the way. Carry it up the mountain?"

"Ah? Then why did Master Shen buy this bottle?" Xun He suddenly became suspicious.

Shen Yue picked up the bottle with the wicker sticks in it, leaned over and placed it on the bridge, and said, "I'm joking with you, you really took it seriously! My fish, tell me how you've been through these years, and the old problems are still alive." Change, another stupid disease has been added!"

Xun He muttered and couldn't refute it, Shen Yue didn't mean it, so he changed the topic and pointed to the pavilion: "The bamboo pavilion for viewing the scenery hasn't been named yet, so I'm waiting to ask your idea, do you have any ideas?"

"Master's knowledge is far above mine, how dare I use an ax in front of the class?"

"Come again!"

Xun He shrunk his neck, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Shen Yue's hands were wet, so he asked, "Master, you have something to do just now? Master, go back first, don't worry about me, I'll walk around the yard by myself, just thinking about how to clean the pavilion. named."

"……All right."

Although Shen Yue physically returned to the kitchen, his heart walked along with Xun He.The small kitchen opened an open window facing the garden. When handling the ingredients, one can take in the scenery by raising his eyes. However, Shen Yue didn't care about anything else at the moment, and his eyes followed Xun He closely. The bamboo pavilion behind the stream, and then circled along the fence, and then returned to the bridge.

In the pot, the dough gradually floated up in the hot oil. The original knife-cut dough rolled up and blossomed into petals. Shen Yue picked it up with a strainer, raised his head, and looked again.At this moment, Xunhe has nothing to do but hang his sleeves independently from the bridge deck.After observing for a long time, Shen Yue actually read from this back... loneliness?

Ignoring the few lotus flower cakes left in the hot oil, Shen Yue hastily threw down the sieve, walked out of the kitchen and went straight to the bridge, and stood beside Xun He, but he saw his eyes lowered, not seeing joy or sorrow , Shen Yue asked softly: "What?"

Xun He touched the petals with his fingertips and rubbed them repeatedly.At this time of sunset, the clouds gather and the evening falls, the wet mist condenses the evening dew, and the water drops slide down the lines on the petals.Xun He was unresponsive, and Er Qing shook his head: "It's nothing."

Shen Yue persisted: "Do you have something on your mind?" After thinking about it, he carefully probed, "Is it because of Zi Chong's relegation? I have entrusted someone to take care of this matter, you don't have to..."

"Master," Xun He withdrew his hand, turned around, and faced Shen Yue face to face, with a rare and sincere expression, "Master, I have already accepted too many benefits from you, and if I continue to trouble you, how can I live in peace."

"Hey, no matter how many times I say it, it doesn't work! Everything is calculated clearly, this doesn't look like a family at all."

Xun He nodded and was trained silently.

Shen Yue sighed, hugged Xun He into his arms, stroked his back, and said, "If you're worried about this, you don't have to. I can't guarantee Zi Chong's official title, but his life can be saved anyway. "

Xun He smiled lightly, pulled his hand from Shen Yue's arm, pointed at the little lotus, and said, "Zi Chong is just one aspect. I was actually thinking just now that no matter how beautiful a flower is, it will wither one day, and when it blooms there will be another day." What do you mean, you can't escape death."

After Xun He finished speaking, he remained calm, but Shen Yue sensed the meaning of disregarding life and death, secretly tightened his embrace, pressed his cheek against Xun He's, and comforted softly: "Yes, everything is mortal. But no matter what Whether you are worried or not, the days still go by as usual. Instead of worrying unnecessarily, living is like suffering, it is better to relax, bamboo sticks and straw shoes are lighter than horses." When he said that, Shen Yue turned his face, kissed Xun He's temples, and asked: "Isn't it?"

Xun He only smiled slightly.

Shen Yue is aware of Xun He's temper that everything is backlogged in his heart, even if he really has something on his mind, he will never reveal it easily, it is better to divert Xun He's attention.After making up his mind, Shen Yue loosened his arms, and then took out a small enamel box the size of a heart mirror from his arms. It was mysterious: "You said that flowers will wither one day, so you are sad. And in this enamel box It’s a thing of the world, but it’s a rare flower in the world, so you can’t thank it if you just open it.”

As expected, Xun He was aroused curiosity: "Is there such a thing as love?"

Shen Yue opened the box, but he didn't send his wrist over for Xun He to watch, Xun He had to poke his head over, and saw a few human hairs lying vertically on the white satin of the pouch reflecting the snow, Xun He looked at Shen Yue, Looking back into the box again, I was at a loss.

Shen Yue pushed away the goose who was staring into the box eagerly, closed the lid, put the small box into his chest, and then leaned closer and whispered to Xun He: "These, I collected them one by one, on your body. petals!"

It took a long time for Xun He to react, and scratched Shen Yue's chest with his head covering his face, and Shen Yue jumped back a few times before avoiding it.

"Shen Yue, you are shameless, hand over the box!" Xun He chased and yelled.

I thought that Xun He had always been polite, but now it is rare to see him show his teeth and claws, how could Shen Yue be willing to stop there, dodging all the way, and did not run fast, only jumped a few steps when Xun He was about to catch up, and then even worsened, digging Take out the small box and shake it in front of Xun He to show off, "Come on, if you can catch up with me, just hehehe..."

After circling the yard twice, Xun He still pursued to no avail, when he passed the weapon rack under the eaves, Xun He staggered and couldn't stabilize his body, and rushed forward.

But before the man touched the ground, Shen Yue hugged him.

"Fortunately, it's okay...you!" Xun He snatched the thing in Shen Yue's palm just by not paying attention.

Xun He was very self-aware, and knew that he was no match for Shen Yue in strength, so he curled up like a pangolin. Shen Yue's attempts to snatch it didn't work, and the two rolled into a ball on the grass. Finally, Shen Yue said angrily: "You In the first month outside, I worked hard to build such a big garden for you, and the result! Jin Pengyu, Yan Ru, and Huaying all brought gifts, but I didn’t. I picked up a few hairs on your body as souvenirs. Don't let it go, you are right!"

Xun He was shocked, and sat up instantly, with a stunned expression on his face: "I...Mr. Shen has never seen anything good. I thought...my trashy things must not be in the eyes of Mr. Shen. I'm afraid it will only add to the joke."

"You idiot! Do I care how much your gift is worth?! I just care about your kindness!" After a pause, Shen Yue sighed, "I was wrong in the past, I shouldn't have dismantled Shui Wuyue in a fit of anger. It’s clean, I went back to Gusu Shen’s Mansion last month, trying to find some traces of you inside, but there was no trace of you. Now I’m keeping such a little worthless thing, and you still don’t give it back!”

Xun He looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Grandpa..."

"Then return the things to me!"

Xun He obeyed and offered it with both hands obediently.

Shen Yue picked up the box, put it back in his chest, and secretly said: "It's so deceiving."

"Ah, what did you say?" Xun He was at a loss.

"It's nothing, come on, give Yexiang one, apologise!" When he said that, Shen Yue stabbed half of his face, and the next moment he felt the warmth and softness on his cheeks, Shen Yue turned his face and pressed Xunhe's kiss After a while, she rubbed the back of his head.

After Xun He calmed down, he grabbed Shen Yue's lapel and begged, "Master, give that back to me, and I'll give you something better."

"No!" Shen Yue pointed to a stream of duckweed behind him, confidently, "You admire the lotus, I'll appreciate the chrysanthemum!"

Xun He:? ? ...

Needless to say, Xun He's face was blushing after some fighting and fighting, but at this moment he was agitated by Shen Yue, and his eyes were watery, as if they were wet, Shen Yue accepted it as soon as he saw it, and comforted softly: "Okay, no Toss you. You see, after such a commotion, all the discomfort just now is gone, right? Life is only so few decades, why do you have to make a fuss about that little discomfort? You are drunk today. .Didn't you say that you are not safe, and today my father will let you have a safe life."

Xun He frowned, thinking that Shen Yue had some crooked idea again.

Shen Yue pulled the man up and patted the grass off Xun He's body: "Don't be nervous, I said I won't bother you, and I won't. I'm asking you to cook with me."

Xun He nodded, then shook his head: "But I don't know how to cook, I'm afraid..."

"It's so stupid to say you're stupid! Just now I said 'cook with me', so I don't need your 'help'!" When he said that, Shen Yue had already led Xun He to the kitchen under the big apricot tree. "I was busy just now, I was busy making your favorite food. This time, I want you to see with your own eyes how much I have put so much effort into treating you well, so that you will worry about gains and losses in the future!"
