Spring Breeze Crossing Guanshan

A hundred miles south of Gusu City, there is a small town called Jinhua.

During the New Year's Eve of the 12th year of Chengde, Wang Jinzhi and Trip Yixuan went to Jinhua City as a guest.

They went here to meet Guan Junchen and Yan Chunxi.

Although Jinhua City is small, there is a well-known Liufangzhai.

Liufangzhai was originally a restaurant in Suzhou, but as its reputation gradually rose, it started a restaurant business again.

Wang Jinzhi also arrived at Liufangzhai, only to find out that Liufangzhai was opened by Yan Chunxi.

In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly ten years since Chang'an left, and Wang Jinzhi never expected to have the trust of Guan Junchen for a day.

When the four of them met, they couldn't help feeling very sad. Those entanglements in those years had long since vanished into thin air, but now thinking about it, it feels like a lifetime away.

Although Cheng Yixuan was not as afraid of Guan Junchen, he was still closer to Yan Chunxi.

Yan Chunxi is now a young man in his 20s, and his appearance is actually more outstanding now than when he was a teenager.

His eyebrows look like distant mountains, his nose bridge is straight, and his pair of almond eyes are narrower and longer than before, so he has a more calm and dignified bearing, and is even more handsome and eye-catching under the bright lights.

Wang Jinzhi originally thought that Liufang Pavilion was opened by Yan Chunxi, but in fact it was managed by Guan Junchen, but he didn't expect that Yan Chunxi greeted them very generously and skillfully, and he was completely like a big shopkeeper.

On the contrary, Guan Junchen's temples were still greyish and mottled due to the great changes in Chang'an that year. He has grown older over the years, and the wrinkles between his brows and eyes have deepened a little. A lazy look to take care of his life.

Not seeing each other for many years, the relationship between the two seems to be different from before.

Yan Chunxi doted on Guan Junchen very much, and would sometimes be accompanied by Guan Junchen during his conversations. When Guan Junchen wanted soup, he was the first to get up and go to the kitchen to serve it. After all, it was cold in winter. He was afraid that Guan Junchen's hands would be cold, so he reached out to shake his hand from time to time.

Cheng Yixuan watched it interestingly, opened his eyes wide as he ate, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yan, you and the lord...why, it seems that we have lost each other."

These years, he has really become much more courageous than before, he even dared to tease Guan Junchen in front of him.

Yan Chunxi had a sophisticated appearance before, but at this moment he couldn't help but lower his head and said: "Brother Cheng was used to living a good life, but it was because of me... I, I must make him live comfortably, and don't make him regret it. "

"It's good to know." Guan Junchen smiled lightly. Although he is over 40, but just such a smile, people can't help but shake their hearts. He glanced at Yan Chunxi sideways, and said slowly: "Dignified Prince , but now I live this poor life with you, you naturally have to cherish it in your heart, and you have to know how to love others."

"I know."

Yan Chunxi gave Guan Junchen a piece of stewed duck, but he didn't even argue, he seemed to be used to being bullied.

Seeing that they were having fun, Cheng Yixuan couldn't help sweeping back and forth on Guan Junchen's face and Yan Chunxi's face a few times, and then burst out laughing.

Wang Jinzhi also smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Yixuan's hand naturally.

In these years, he was not as relaxed as Guan Junchen and Yan Chunxi, but he actually took Cheng Yixuan through the rivers and lakes.

Cheng Yixuan had a hard life, and was sold into Nanguan at a very young age, and his life in the palace was miserable, so he was so timid that he was afraid of everything.

Only in the past ten years has he seen the majestic mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou properly.

He accompanied Wang Jinzhi in Jiangdong to rob the rich and help the poor, he also went to the desert to meet the ferocious bandits, and for the first time as a guest, he and Wang Jinzhi wandered back to Nanguan in the south of the Yangtze River.

You must know that Wang Jinzhi is cautious, he is timid, they thought this was their own temperament.

It wasn't until they left the palace and the strict palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and lived with their hearts like this, that they realized that their previous temperament was shaped according to the mold, and only by jumping out of that side of the world can they be considered real. Live out their own taste.

But now looking at Guan Junchen and Yan Chunxi, he knew that they were the same.

Cheng Yixuan was happy for Yan Chunxi, while Wang Jinzhi felt even more relieved for Guan Junchen.

After nightfall, Wang Jinzhi, Cheng Yixuan and Yan Chunxi went to set off firecrackers for a while.

Guan Junchen was not interested in this, so he leaned on the second floor and watched them having fun in the snow, he felt a little sleepy watching them, so he got under the covers early to read a book.

After watching like this for a while, Yan Chunxi ran back happily.

Seeing that Guan Junchen was still asleep, he blushed, sat down on the bedside and said softly, "Brother Cheng, are you still awake?"

"You expect me to sleep?" Guan Junchen put the book aside and raised his eyebrows: "You have forgotten what you promised earlier, right?"

"How could it be..." There was a hint of shame in Yan Chunxi's eyes, but then he immediately raised his head and obediently unbuttoned his clothes, stripped himself naked before getting into Guan Junchen's bed.

"I want to have fun." Guan Junchen lazily leaned against the bedpost, without any intention of moving.

Yan Chunxi lowered his eyebrows, sat across Guan Junchen's legs, and said softly: "Well, I, I will serve Brother Cheng."

This is already the third day that he has voluntarily agreed, and even his waist feels a little sore, but he is helpless after all.

A few days ago, an ignorant person came to propose marriage to Yan Chunxi, saying that the lady in the mansion valued him very much.

It's nothing else, but Guan Junchen used this as an excuse to torment him even more, asking him to do everything by himself.

But he was indeed happy, the happiness in bed between the two of them was extremely hard to come by, and now he only wanted to make Guan Junchen feel at ease.

After leaving Chang'an, he accompanied Guan Junchen to travel around the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and visited famous doctors from all over the place, but he never cured Guan Junchen's unspeakable illness.

Guan Junchen also loved him very much. At that time, he had seriously asked him if he wanted to be satisfied with that superior, but after all, he was not willing to make Guan Junchen suffer so much when he was already depressed. It's just the lingering hand and mouth with Guan Junchen.

I didn't think about it at first, but I didn't expect that in the second year after the two of them settled down in Jinhua City, Guan Junchen would suddenly regain his usual demeanor one day.

The two were overjoyed, and spent almost every day in the bed during those few months.

Later, Guan Junchen told him that when he woke up one morning, he suddenly felt relieved—the sad things in Chang'an had finally been let go.

Just let it go and it'll be fine.

Yan Chunxi thought about it, many things in the world are indeed like this, years will eventually heal people's wounds, many things don't need to be obsessed, as long as they live well year after year, that's it.

It's just that this truth must only be understood by those who are close to each other, but others don't have such a good fate.

Two years ago, Guan Shanyue also passed away quietly.

He was drunk on a painting boat in the south of the Yangtze River, and he stumbled and fell into the surging river, and was washed away in an instant.

The singer on the boat said that before the prince fell into the river, he raised his glass to Jiangyue with a smile and murmured the poems of the great poets of the previous dynasty——

Spring wave green under the bridge of sadness, was once Jinghongzhao ushered in.

It was once a shocking photo.

After Xia Baimei died, Guan Shanyue never married.

Perhaps all his life, he only dreamed about that glimpse of him when he was young.

……

At the beginning of spring in the 12th year of Chengde, Cheng Wang said goodbye to Guan Junchen and Yan Chunxi and went to the East China Sea to travel.

Just a few days after they left, Emperor Ying of Zhou passed away, and the state of Great Zhou mourned for three months.

There were only three sons behind Zhou Yingdi, but he never thought that there would be a huge disturbance due to the struggle for power. The prince was poisoned and killed, and the second son Wuzhao succeeded to the throne. He changed his year name to Yuande, but the youngest son also established himself as king in Jinling .

From then on, the rituals and music of the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, and the fortune of the country gradually declined, never to return to the prosperity of Linqing Chengde years.

What Grand Master Yan was most worried about back then has finally come.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was full of wars, and the Southern Kingdom was no longer peaceful.

Guan Junchen also left Jinhua City with Yan Chunxi, and he has not been heard from since.

A hundred years later, the Great Zhou Dynasty fell.

Later generations accidentally found a wonderful painting——

Seeing a man wearing golden armor and holding a long whip, so majestic but holding a boy in common clothes by the hand, the two of them strolled along the willow embankment in the spring breeze.

After this pair of paintings was received in the imperial palace, the current emperor thought it was interesting, and inscribed the five characters "Crossing Guanshan in the Spring Breeze", and it was collected in the big internal treasury, and it has been handed down ever since.

Heaven and earth are immortal, the sun and the moon are immortal.

On the land of China——

How much chivalry and tenderness, how much love and hatred, how many dynasties have changed, are all in the jokes.
