Song and Tang Youyan

Not long after entering the house, the servants came to summon, "Young master, a man outside the door who claims to be Gu Mengyan wants to see you." I stood up and sighed, the one who should come could not hide after all.Song Qing asked with concern, "Brother, what's the matter? Sigh, if you don't want to see him, just avoid it." My heart warmed up, there is family love in the world.But this person had to be seen.

As soon as he went out, he saw him, dressed in plain clothes, his face was as cold as ever, with a sickly whiteness.

"Brother Song, don't come here without any problems." He actually took the initiative to greet me, and I replied, "Brother Gu, why are you here today?"

He smiled slightly, "For some reason, I won the list. Zhang Yuanwai from the capital sent someone to apologize to me, saying that he was too drunk to see me and missed me. It's really unpredictable." I felt relieved. , "That's really great."

He looked at me again, "When will Brother Song plan to enter the provincial capital to enter the Imperial College?" I felt cold, so I had to bite the bullet and say, "I haven't thought about it yet." He suddenly roared, "Song Yuan Dynasty! You still want to How long will you hide it from me?"

I panicked, "Why hide it from you?" He snorted coldly, and said, "Song Tang, you and I went all the way to Beijing to rush for the exam and took good care of me all the way. I thought you were different from those dudes after all, but who knew you were the same He flicked his sleeves, looking upright, and then said, "I didn't make the list because I'm not good at academics, so why do you have to go back and ask for me? Do you think I will be grateful to you?" I looked ugly, "No Not trying to thank you, just feeling—"

"What do you think? Do you think I'm pitiful?" Then changed the subject, "Since you have done it, I will accept it, but you and I don't have to meet each other in the future, so let's leave now." After saying that, he walked away, I stayed where I was, and before I knew why, I lost a friend. I just thought he was upright and didn't want to be in the company of people like me.

Turning around, all the maids in the mansion were lying behind the door, and must have overheard nine out of ten, "What are you doing here? No work to do?" I pretended to be angry, "Son, what he said is true ?” It was my father Song Jin who walked up the trail, “It’s true, it’s because my son is not good enough in academics, and he will definitely do his best to get on the list next time in the scientific examination.”

Unexpectedly, he waved his hand, "It's fine if you don't pass the exam. Everyone in the world seeks official career, fame, and fortune, but it may not be counterproductive. I don't ask you to do something on this road. It's okay, an official needs to resist many temptations." , my son will definitely be able to make a difference in other industries, father will not force you." For some reason, I could only hear infinite helplessness, and upon closer inspection, he was also old, with wrinkles engraved around the corners of his eyes, and his roots were white. The hair is clearly interspersed in the black hair, which is especially conspicuous. I have been traveling for many years, and when it comes to doing business, the scenery in front of outsiders is so beautiful, how much hard work is involved in it?

I shouted anxiously, "Father, where are you going? Are you going to leave again after returning?" Song Qing replied behind him, "There is a batch of goods detained at the dock, I have to go and see, brother, it's just that you can't study well, just change the road." Walking may be another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright?"

"Doing business with you?"

"Hahaha," he laughed twice, "it's not bad, but the mother at home still needs your attention." I thought about it, so I gave up, watched them go away, and turned back to the house.

I felt like playing in the mansion for a few days, I had nothing to do, so I went out for a stroll, walking on the street, I heard so many unbearable words, I just pretended not to hear them.

Sitting in the teahouse, I had to listen to those words.

"How dare this Song and Yuan Dynasty go out? To gain fame and belittle Gu Mengyan, how dare they sit down and drink tea in such a leisurely way?" said a person.

"That's what you said wrong. The fact is, the two of them went to Beijing to take the exam together as brothers and sisters. The Song and Yuan dynasties were jealous of Gu Mengyan's knowledge, so they resorted to low-handed means, which caused Gu Mengyan to lose his reputation. Song Yuanchao's conscience discovered that So Ah gave up his quota to Gu Mengyan, and Gu Mengyan was upright and unwilling to accept the food that came, so he came to find Song Yuanchao's theory, and the two had a big quarrel, and it was only because of their kindness and righteousness that this situation happened today." Listening to this man What I said was still [-]% true, and I was actually a little moved.

Suddenly a person next to him unsealed his sword and slapped the table, "Nonsense, Song Yuanchao won't use such tricks." I was shocked, and looked at the person who spoke out, and someone believed me, "It's obviously Song Yuanchao, this person is short-sleeved! Fame tempts the examiner, talent makes him on the list "I"..."

Everyone echoed again and again, looking like this.

I finished drinking the wine in my hands with downcast eyes, and a pair of white boots appeared in my sight, which were not stained with dust.

"Don't you refute at all? Those words?" Without raising your head, you knew who it was, and replied, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Besides, what they said is not without fault. It is true that I robbed you of your quota." Follow-up matters." He snorted coldly and walked away quickly.I put the money for the wine on the table, and walked away, but he was still waiting at the door when I went out. Only now did I see clearly that he was actually wearing a long gauze hat, probably because he was afraid of gossip on the street.

I wanted to ignore it and walk away, but he grabbed my hand with such strength that I almost doubted if it was me. He didn't let me go until I entered a remote courtyard.

"Brother Gu first said not to provoke each other, but now, why?" He took off his bamboo hat, sat on the stone bench, and poured a cup of tea slowly, obviously not ready to answer my question. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." He stood up again. "Wait a minute," he walked up to me quickly and looked at me. "Do you think I, Gu Mengyan, value fame the most?"

I didn't expect him to ask this question, "Everyone cares about different things, so I don't dare to speculate on what Brother Gu is thinking." He snorted again, "The agreement that day is void, you can go back." Said Before I could react, he pushed me out of the door. I was at a loss. What agreement?Could it be the agreement that we will never meet again?So childish like when you didn't like me when we were young, did he take it seriously?I smiled and walked back to the house.

There was no lack of gossip along the way, and I also felt that it seemed not so ugly.

A few days later, I was in the mansion to hear the news that Gu Mengyan had passed the Juren examination. I was not at all surprised. His knowledge should be put to good use, but he did not disappoint my kindness.

I came to my mother's door with my lunch, reached out and knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in, "Mom, it's lunch time, I'll come in." I didn't expect half a response.I went to my mother's bed and put down the food box. It has been three years, and my mother has been in a coma for three years. She lives on gruel every day, and her body is getting shriveled day by day. Saved my mother's life, but never woke up again. The doctor meant that my mother could never wake up again, but my father didn't believe it. After crying a lot, my memory stayed in the self-hypnosis that my mother was still alive. My elder brother and I have been keeping silent.

I looked at the person lying quietly on the bed. Everyone praised my mother for being blessed to marry my father. In the best years of my life, I enjoyed my father's love. People seem to be getting younger and more radiant. , the immature and beautiful girl in those days has matured and become more beautiful.But now, there is only a yellow and thin face left, and there is no half-beautiful shadow to be found. "Mother, when will you wake up? Father, I can't hold it any longer." I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, picked up the porridge and started feeding it spoon by spoon. Tell her interesting stories, if mother is still conscious, she will find it interesting.

When I came out of my mother's room, the servants reported that a woman wanted to see me.After thinking about it, I haven't met any woman recently, but I couldn't bear to be curious, so I replied, "Let her sit in the living room, remember to pour tea, and I will go there later."
