The wind

Injured wrist?Xiao Zhouheng was deeply puzzled and didn't understand what it meant. He didn't need to think about it, but he heard someone stop behind him.

"Fifteenth brother."

Xiao Zhouheng turned around and saw Li Zhongnan after the light rain - wearing a blue satin gown with turtle back patterns and emerald grass coiled with gold thread, and a hairpin pinned to his high hair crown. A beautiful ivory hairpin set off the man's clear eyes, icy muscles and fine bones.

The light at noon softened Li Zhongnan's inconspicuousness in the autumn, and he saw four eyes facing each other, with fire, light and stone, and there was nothing to hide.

"Mr. Absolutely Beautiful." Li Zhongnan said with a smile, "What a coincidence."

Xiao Zhouheng stared at the smile on the corner of Li Zhongnan's mouth, unable to move his eyes away.

Even though he really cared about the embarrassment that Li Zhongnan gave him just now, this smile should only be seen as a painting, it is not in the world of dust.

If the person in front of him were fatter, he might be some kind of immortal dreaming, so don't talk about the old duck soup, maybe it will really work.

Xiao Zhouheng's thoughts gradually blurred, seeing Li Zhongnan and Li Yunwei opening and closing their mouths, they didn't listen to what they said at all.

When Xiao Zhouheng came back to his senses, he saw the two of them boarded a soft sedan chair and went to the depths of the inner mansion.

Leaving myself to walk through the flowers alone, with a full body and empty hands.

In the next two days, the mansion was safe and sound, Xiao Zhouheng did not see Li Zhongnan again, even though he lived not far from Li Zhongnan.

If there is anything worth mentioning, it would be General Li's successive victories outside the pass, and he will probably return home at the end of the year.

Xiao Zhouheng heard from Li Yunwei again that after Li Zhongnan showed Mrs. Zeng some belongings, Mrs. Zeng believed Li Zhongnan's identity, but Li Yunwei didn't know what those objects were. The attitude of the eighth young master is also ambiguous, especially Mrs. Zeng, no matter whether that person is the eighth young master of the Li family, it is not good for his son anyway. Besides, before the sixth young master Li Yunyi comes back, no one can jump to conclusions like this, saying This Li Zhongnan is the Eighth Young Master of the Li Mansion, so his heart hangs in his throat, for fear that Li Yunyi will say no when he comes back, and drive this dubious man out of the mansion. .

Li Zhongnan also seemed to be interested, and stayed in his Qiushui Pavilion all the time, not walking around casually.

On the third day of Li Zhongnan's return to the Li Mansion, Xiao Zhouheng finished his lunch and copied a few ancient poems in his room, put on new clothes that had just been cut, and went to the stables to find his horse named The "understanding" Hua Congma left the mansion.Xiao Zhouheng got on his horse, and against the background of the drizzle in Jinling City, he jumped out of the forest and left in the dust.

After detouring for a few miles in the alleys of Jinling City, Xiao Zhouheng stopped outside a small house with an unattractive appearance, got off his horse, but didn't rush to knock on the door, but tidied up his clothes and took a deep breath , with a smile on his face, he slammed the door and said in a loud voice, "Yin Xiyun, your stunning grandpa is here."

After a while, the door opened, and a man about the same age as Xiao Zhouheng leaned out, pretending to be angry and said: "Shu Ting, you came here when you came, what are you doing so loudly?" With eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he is actually a handsome young man comparable to Xiao Zhouheng.

"Let grandpa go in." Xiao Zhouheng squeezed into the door, threw the rein into Yin Jiuchu's hand, but didn't look at him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, I'm not thinking about you."

Yin Jiuchu frowned, called his servants to lead the horse, opened his lips and said, "You idiot, is my hand holding something like this?" Xiao Zhouheng walked into the depths of the house, lazily Yang Yang said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so angry?"

That's right, this Yin Jiuchu, whose style name is Xiyun, is from Jinling. He has known Xiao Zhouheng since childhood. He is different from Xiao Zhouheng who works in poetry and poetry. One of the "Three Heroes of Jinling" who rode alongside Xiao Zhouheng, was bestowed the reputation of "Hao Dian Luan Piao" by Jinling people.

Because it is very important to pay attention to his hands - in order to protect them from the wind and sun, the cuffs must be extended by an inch when making clothes. These behaviors were often ridiculed by Xiao Zhouheng and his group, asking if he was just as particular about doing those things with his hands.

Without waiting for Yin Jiuchu, Xiao Zhouheng followed the servant up the stairs, but he couldn't restrain his beating heart, and secretly scolded himself for being worthless, but after hearing Yin Jiuchu's words, his face It's a bit dry.After climbing a few steps, I could faintly hear the sound of footsteps approaching and the murmurs of men and women.

When Xiao Zhouheng went up to the second floor, everything became clear—this was not an ordinary house, but the backyard of a house called Shisha Meiqing House.Xiao Zhouheng was familiar with the road, pushed the door and entered a private room, a maid immediately took off his coat for him, and swept the few people surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan in the room, all of them were familiar faces:

"Isn't this the beautiful son-in-law of our Li family?" The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was drinking to the top of his head, with a delicate lady on the left and right in his arms, Xiao Zhouheng sat down on his own, and knew it without looking up , the person who spoke was Jiang Ruli, the youngest son of Master Jiang Huaijiang, the prefect of Songjiang, whose name was Jianjue.

"Don't laugh at me, if it's not for making a living, where would you go to that kind of place?"

"You have been in the mansion for a long time, not to mention how many women you have met, what are you worrying about with your appearance? If you put them on the bed and show the guys out, wouldn't you be honored as the Jade Emperor old man?" Jiang Ruli laughs together with the gangsters around him.

"Nonsense! Don't be afraid of offending the Li family and losing your head! Let's not talk about the Li family today. We are congratulating Brother Xiyun today." The speaker was Ding Zhongchou, who was paralyzed on a velvet blanket embroidered with colorful peonies. The word Kongjie, his grandfather had been a prince and grand teacher, but at the moment he seems to have nothing to do with what his grandfather taught. "If you want me to say, what's so good about the women in Li's mansion, but these sisters in the hall are good-looking?" Ding Zhongchou said, then took a jade hand that had sprung up and put it in his own, rubbing it. It caused a lot of people to laugh.

Xiao Zhouheng raised his head and looked around, but this group of men and women did not see the last one of the three heroes of Jinling, so he asked, "Why didn't you see Yu Xing?"

Jiang Ruli said: "He's going to teach piano at Yingtianfu Academy, so he won't be free today."

Xiao Zhouheng was surprised and said: "He just came back from his travels and found an errand, isn't he leaving here?"

"I don't know." Ding Zhongchou took the words, "I'm also very curious. I wanted to ask him today, but he asked someone to bring me a message saying that I can't come today."

Huangfu Chu, whose style name is Yuxing, has a leisurely rhythm, is good at playing the piano, is endowed with chivalry, and likes to travel all over the world. Not only Jinling City, but the entire eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are well-known luthiers.

While everyone was talking, Yin Jiuchu also entered the private room, and handed a square package from behind Xiao Zhouheng.

"It's all inside, let's see if it's there."

Xiao Zhouheng unwrapped the package, and there were a few dilapidated books inside, but it could be seen that the corners of the books had been carefully pressed down, keeping the most impressive appearance as possible.

"Thank you." Xiao Zhouheng flipped through the package, wrapped it back again, smiled at Yin Jiuchu, and handed a note, "This is for next month, I really trouble you."

Yin Jiuchu said: "It's too far-fetched for you and me to talk about this."

Xiao Zhouheng also laughed, took the wine cup in front of Yin Jiuchu, filled it up and handed it to him: "Yes."

Yin Jiuchufeng raised his eyes, and went to pick up the small cup, but Qianqiansu finger brushed the back of Xiao Zhouheng's hand indistinctly, so agitated, Xiao Zhouheng felt that his face was unbearably hot, and quickly withdrew his hand, Only Yin Jiuchu said leisurely: "I am the only one who treats you like this in this world, you treat me like this, huh?"

The tone raised at the end was extremely seductive, Xiao Zhouheng felt blushing, and didn't know how to respond, only to hear Ding Zhongchou interject: "Xiyun, is the date set?"

"It's natural." Yin Jiuchu looked away from Xiao Zhouheng, his face was full of unconcealable joy, and said, "The fifteenth day of next month."

"Unexpectedly, among the five of us, Xiyun was the first to get married. It was unexpected." Jiang Ruli said, "It's an auspicious day, even the Mid-Autumn Festival is also the wedding night. It's a coincidence."

"That's right, I specially picked auspicious days." Yin Jiuchu paused, and then said, "Jianjue, why are you telling me about those who are married or not? You never had a concubine?"

"Ah, Xiyun, how can a beautiful wife compare to a concubine?" Jiang Ruli put a hand into the breast of a waiter, and squeezed it hard, causing the woman to cry out, "How many times is that?" A concubine is not as versatile as these sisters."

"At that time, my son will naturally send a big gift." Ding Zhongchou took a mouthful of the candied fruit handed by Hongsu beside him, and his words were a little vague, "Do you like Korean singers or Persian catgirls?" Son?"

"Boast." Yin Jiuchu said, "I like the concubine your old man took last month the most."

Xiao Zhouheng also laughed together, but his heart was really in a mess, with one glass after another in his hand, the waitress who poured wine beside him couldn't help but persuade, "Sir, you'd better drink slowly."

Xiao Zhouheng only felt that today's wine was extremely full-bodied, but after a few cups, the things in front of him became a little ethereal.

"Why is the wine so good today?" Xiao Zhouheng took another sip, feeling like he was choking and tearing up, "Did you secretly give this hookah's mother money?"

"What the hell! Is there such a good wine in this place? Kong Jie stole it from his old man!" Jiang Ruli raised his jaw, and his voice was resonant with the strength of the wine.

"Hey, why don't you bring wine with me when you come out? Now that Xiyun is getting married, you are willing to take it out. You are really stingy."

"It's not that Xiyun will be controlled by the main house in the future, and pity that he will be controlled from top to bottom."

Several people laughed and made a fuss, but Xiao Zhouheng felt Yin Jiuchu's gaze on him, so hot that he didn't dare to turn his head. He was very close, but he felt that the Milky Way was far away.

Yes, he is getting married.

What have you got to do with yourself?

Over the years, his inexplicable teasing was vaguely pathetic.

In the final analysis, isn't it just that I have complied with my own wishes.

Unknowingly, his face was a little wet, Xiao Zhouheng raised his head and looked out the window, the sky was getting dark, just remembered that before sunrise, Bie Hong said that the sixth young master Li Yunyi would return home later today, most of the wine immediately woke up.As an outsider, he was not able to attend the banquet, but Li Yunyi always treated him like a guest.

After wiping his cheeks carelessly, Xiao Zhouheng stood up and bid farewell to several friends, put on his coat, took Yin Jiuchu's package, and was about to leave, but Yin Jiuchu grabbed his sleeves: "I'll see you off."

Xiao Zhouheng nodded, and the two went downstairs together.The tortoise slave in the hall brought the horse, the two of them didn't speak during the period, they just felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, Xiao Zhouheng held the saddle, turned sideways and said: "You go back, I'm leaving."

"Shu Ting, I have something to tell you." Suddenly hearing this sentence, Xiao Zhouheng did not respond, staring at Yin Jiuchu under the dim light, the person who had been through his entire youth, motioned him to continue talking.Only Yin Jiuchu said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Shu Ting, the previous agreement... You also know why I don't want to have a qin wine with you, Yunyue's love? It's just..."

"I understand that Lejia Shanshui's covenant is all childish jokes, nothing to count." Xiao Zhouheng raised his hand to stop the second half of Yin Jiuchu's sentence, smiled and shook his head.Yin Jiuchu saw the loveliness in Xiao Zhouheng's eyes completely, and felt a little guilty, suddenly there was a desire/desire to hold that person's hand, but he was discouraged in an instant, the hand under the sleeve was only tightened, not stick out.

"Xiyun, this search for books is the last time I'll nag you. The marriage is coming soon, and everything is cumbersome, so it's not suitable to run around."

Yin Jiuchu carefully asked: "Will you come on the wedding day?"

"What are you talking about? You and I have known each other for several years, so we will definitely come, and there will be no less congratulations." Xiao Zhouheng said while getting on his horse, "Are you still afraid that I will run away?"

Yin Jiuchu laughed and said, "If you run away, I'll dig you out three feet from the ground."

Xiao Zhouheng waved his hand, left a sentence in a cool and easy manner, and pulled the rein of the horse out of the hookah.

Xiao Zhouheng, who left Tangzi, walked all the way, only felt that the autumn evening wind was biting, and his eye sockets were dry and astringent.

This love has been cut off long ago, and now I am deceiving myself and mourning for something here.

Originally, I and him were like the moon in the water, like a mirror image, why I didn't understand.

Ten years have passed, how to realize the clearing of the river?

The sky was getting dark, and looking from a distance, a lantern was held outside the gate of Li's residence. It seemed that Li Yunyi had returned to the residence.

Li Yunyi was appointed as the privy envoy, responsible for supervising the army, horses, food and grass in the south and north of the Yangtze River. The official name is famous but it is a idle job. On weekdays, he patrols various places and reports to the chief envoy.If he is not going to patrol the prison, Li Yunyi will stay at the mansion to deal with big and small matters, sophisticated and calm, he seems to be the best candidate to inherit the title of Li Yanqing and General Li among the male heirs of the Li mansion.

After entering the door, Xiao Zhouheng looked around and saw the maidservants busy, and saw a few children from Li's family, but there was no sign of Li Yunyi or Li Zhongnan.

After going to the room to properly place the books in the package, Xiao Zhouheng came out to inquire, and found out that Li Yunyi was listening to the piano in the Sanqiu Pavilion in the outer mansion. Xiao Zhouheng wanted to find Li Yunyi to make amends, after all, he was still late when he came back , while walking, he secretly blamed himself for the ink scribble with Yin Jiuchu just now. He was thinking about his rhetoric for a while, but unexpectedly bumped into a black shadow at the corner of the corridor.

Xiao Zhouheng's eyes were full of stares when he hit Xiaozhouheng, and he was already tainted with drunken wine, and now he was a little dizzy, and was about to blame some servant girl who didn't have eyes and a lamp, but when he took a closer look, it was actually Li Zhongnan.

For some reason, Li Zhongnan's eyes were red, he bowed his waist, leaning on the wall, his whole body convulsed uncontrollably.

"Eighth young master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xiao Zhouheng panicked and hurried to help.

"It's nothing." Li Zhongnan smiled at him, "I have heart palpitations."

Seeing that Li Zhongnan's hair crown was slightly scattered, Xiao Zhouheng helped him and stretched out his hand to wrap his hair around his forehead, where he touched it was full of sweat, and Li Zhongnan's tears rolled in circles around his eyes It whirled in the air, making the eyes covered with a thin layer of mist, looking very pitiful.

Li Zhongnan's feet went limp, and he fell straight into Xiao Zhouheng's arms.

Li Zhongnan's face was as white as paper, his eyes looked like blood holes pierced by the night, staring straight behind him, Xiao Zhouheng turned his head subconsciously, and saw a person standing not far away looking at the two of them.

The lights of the Li Mansion illuminated the night like a sunny day, the cool breeze blew past, and the faint sound of a zither could be heard in the distance.

"Isn't that... Mr. Qu Yeliang, Qu Yeliang?"
