Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, not only the Eastern Qin, but also the entire sixteen states of the world also follow similar laws. In the winter, Yecheng, the capital of Yongzhou, also showed a bit of gloom, and the winter snow fell, and the inn in Yecheng sent away the last group of merchants who were on their feet.

Similar to Chang'an, Yecheng is also in the shape of a chessboard, at the beginning of the construction of the city, the Yuwen family divided sixty-four Daofang City, Qin to the east for the respect, the Yuwen family's mansion is in the east city, the west side of the city is the barracks of the garrison at the earliest, since the establishment of the mutual market with the West Chu, the west of the Yecheng to the residence of outsiders.

The square market near the city gate is called "Ping'an Fang", the earliest residents only hope that their husbands, sons, and brothers who left home can come back safely, and the whole Fang market is a courtyard with two entrances, because the master is promoted or died several times, and gradually loses, and later the small merchants who run the business are more willing to buy houses here, the house is small, and the wages that need to be maintained are less, and the caravan of more than 20 people can live next to each other, which is much cheaper than staying in the inn.

In the innermost dwelling of Ping'an Fang, there lived a single scholar with a serving boy by his side.

Some neighbors who have stayed in Yecheng all the year round gossip about this scholar, and when they mention it, they only use the word "strange". The scholar looked at the old age, but he was alone, without a wife and children, and was frail and sickly, and the whole house was perennially filled with the bitter taste of decoction. If this is the case, many people must regard him as an ordinary poor man, but there are often Lang Jun, who is a member of the high family, who is driven by a servant to visit him in a carriage and horse.

In the old days, Ping'an Fang sent troops cheaply, the road was extremely wide, the ox cart passed slowly, and finally stopped in front of it, the graceful Lang Jun got off one after another, walked to the front, made a salute, and then the boy introduced the door, and the remaining servants took down the wine brought with the car, or the female dancer with outstanding appearance, and more often it was a young man in a dark color small sleeve round-necked robe with an urn of wine to come to the door alone.

Looking at his friends and knowing his people, although I don't know why this scholar does not move here, but the women of the market always have their own way of doing things, they began to want to come to the door to talk to the scholar for the matchmaker, that is, this scholar is weak and sick, and there is no clan to rely on to support, but he has made friends who are either rich or noble, and maybe after a few decades, he can change his court and become a nobleman.

But the scholar refused, he said that he was weak and sick, and he had to drag others down, and when he said this, the boy in a big red feather satin brocade robe standing behind him was furious, grabbed his wrist, and said sharply: "What do you say to drag others down, I will naturally have Mr. Fengyang in the future!"

At that time, scholars were just standing, and now Yuwenlang, who is famous in the world, was also a ten-year-old Xiaolangjun back then, but there was a Qingling army standing beside him, and the tall and strong men had the evil spirit of surviving countless battles, and just one glance made these talkative women unable to say anything else.

Ten years after that, the boy who was about to be tall and other chests had grown into a young man with a height of more than eight feet, and his body and bones were declining day by day, and the boy who said that he would take care of him remembered the oath he made when he was a child, but the gentleman in the green shirt was sick and broken and his temples were frosty white when he was almost confused.

"Sir, drink the medicine. Combing his hair and tying a red head rope, the boy in pine green held a vermilion lacquer tea tray with both hands, and a bowl of steaming medicine was placed on the tea tray, he took a step forward and knelt down towards Lang Jun who was lying on the bed, and his eyes were still a little red and swollen when he looked carefully.

"What are you crying about?" Yuan Su stretched out his hand to take the bowl, reached out and gently touched the boy's soft hair, and sighed: "Yesterday was not good, what happened today?"

"Sir, Anu will listen to your words and study hard in the future, and Mr. will get better soon, okay?" Anu stared at Yuan Su with tears in his voice, "Xiaohan today, why did Mr. order the servant to open the window?"

"Anu, ahem, the number of life expectancy of people is fixed, and I don't know how many days I can share my son's worries. Thorn Shi chose to join forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Emperor Lie of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a hero, and he could endure the inability of ordinary people, and the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Ao, was the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he could inherit the ambition of the Emperor Lie, and the Northern Wei Dynasty took off, just in front of him. "Yuan Su coughed while separating the cinnabar red handkerchief, and the blood soaked the silk handkerchief, mixed with the color of cinnabar red, it was not clear to distinguish, but the cold weather in winter still revealed a bit of blood," Even Kyushu is not very peaceful, there are not a few people in the family who can not be underestimated, the first recommendation is the Ji family, even if Wen Xianggong is not there, but Ji Zhou Mu is not an ordinary person, this will be the forbidden army into Jinzhou, the imperial court transferred the Qingzhou army back to defense, but never listened to the sound, I am afraid that the Zhuge family is also very big, how will the lady deal with herself? ”

"Sir, let's worry less!" Anu pouted, "It's not good to wait for the son to come back to see you, I don't know how sad it will be!"

"My body, I know it myself, you don't have to talk too much in front of your son. Yuan Su coughed for a while, and lay back slightly on the couch, his face revealing a little flush.

As the master and servant were talking, they heard a knock on the door outside, and Anu hurriedly stepped forward to answer the door.

In front of the door listened to a sheep cart, only four feet wide, decorated with silk flowers, which looked more and more beautiful.

Yecheng is dry in winter, don't say that the snow beads are scarce even the rain bucket, the sun hangs in the sky, and the sun makes people warm, but the wind blows and the face is cold, and the visiting girl is also wearing a cloak embroidered with blue and purple lotus on a white background, with a forehead inlaid with rabbit fur, only revealing a phoenix hairpin inlaid with southern pearls in the hair.

The phoenix hairpin is extremely delicate, from the phoenix's mouth to the size of the rice grain of pearls strung into a tassel, with the south bead as the knot, and the phoenix tail on the golden beads are the size of a thumb, as she bows, the beads hang down on the cheeks, more and more set off her complexion.

"Sir, it's the third lady of Mingguangfang. Anu led the girl into the door, sat down in the flower hall, and then went into the inner room to wait for Yuan Su to change his clothes, and then pushed the wheelchair over, leaned over and picked up Yuan Su and placed him in the wheelchair, and pushed the latter into the flower hall.

There are many orchids in Mingguangfang, and there are many Hu people's music, and Hu Qu is more cheerful, the Lang gentlemen drink spirits at the banquet, accompanied by the Hu girl from Persia to rotate and bend their waists, the skirt flutters like a bud blooming, and the pipa accompanying the music also enters the eyes of everyone.

Sheng Yan was a merchant woman when she was young, and she was raised like a pearl and jade, and when she was twelve years old, she once fell into the prostitution door, and her fiancé was also cut off, and it happened that Yuan Su came from Nanshi with Yuwenrui, Yuan Su took pity on her for a while, and Yuwendu transferred her to the music room, although she was also a joker, but at least she was spared the dust.

"Slave has seen sir. As soon as the beauty in brocade saw Yuan Su sinking and thin, she couldn't help but shed tears as soon as she saluted.

"What's the matter with the three ladies coming to the door today?" Sheng Yan is as her name suggests, her complexion is as bright as a peony blooming in summer, she is now in her twenties, and the pipa in one hand has caused Yecheng to be alarmed, and countless young men have thrown thousands of dollars just to see her, but Yuan Su treats her very coldly.

"The slave has saved money since he went out on the fifteenth, and now he has a few gold, and he can redeem himself, is the gentleman willing to take the slave to serve by his side?" Sheng Yan saw that his expression was cold, and he didn't think he was stunned, he knelt down in front of him, looked up at Yuan Su slightly, his voice was like a warbler's cry, and the tears on his face were still there, like a peony stained with dew after a drizzle, extremely beautiful and sad.

Anu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he heard that Mr. Sixteen years ago Mr. was also a gentleman with a super easy appearance, but now Mr. is in his thirties and has been sick for many years, and he is not handsome, and he doesn't know how this Sheng family of Guanyecheng looks down on Langjun in Yecheng, but recommends a pillow to his own husband.

"Su shoulders can't resist and can't be lifted, how can you be worthy of everyone's love?" Yuan Su lowered her eyes slightly, and did not look at the woman who was meekly kneeling beside her.

"The slave met Mr. from cardamom, and now it is ten years, if Mr. dislikes the origin of the slave, what does it matter if the slave is a concubine?"

At that time, she felt awkward in her heart, and only thought that her benefactor saw her beauty and rescued her from the fire pit. It wasn't until she was sixteen years old that she offered music at the birthday banquet of Yecheng Taishou, taught someone to change the pipa, and broke the strings between the plucks, Taishou was furious, and no one in the audience spoke, it was he who stood up and spoke for her to relieve the siege, and then she looked for a benefactor to thank her, but the latter couldn't remember her at all, she knew that although the other party was a good beauty and loved wine, he was a real gentleman.

I heard others say that he has no wife, no children, and no relatives, and only one boy is left to take care of him, which is left to him by the second son of Yuwen, and he often replaces, so she has a heart in her heart.

There was a lot of open and secret fighting in the workshop, and she gradually climbed to the top of the list. The ladies in the workshop are like epiphanyes in the night, blooming only for a moment.

When she was eighteen years old, she learned that the Taishou who had destroyed her family had lost her official position due to a crime, and she was so drunk that she fell into the peony bush at the back of the workshop, and he passed by and sent her back to the house to protect her innocence.

When she reached the age of nineteen, it was already time for her to bloom. That year, the medicinal herb merchant from Xichu hired a fine pearl to marry her to continue the string, she stood in the pavilion and looked at it, and inadvertently looked at the street, and saw him riding a donkey under the window, and the washed white green shirt was worn on him, and he knew more and more that it was empty, and a gust of wind blew as if to blow him away.

She closed the window, turned around and fell on the couch and cried, and when she got up again to freshen up and dress, she asked someone to push off the pearl, and she ran to his door alone and stood for a long time but never had the courage to knock on the door.

Later, when she reached the age of 20, she was respected by everyone, but she knew that she would not be popular for a long time, but fortunately, her mother in the teaching workshop still remembered her origin and did not practice her.

Turning her head to be twenty-one years old, she originally thought that she would just look at her benefactor from afar. But at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, she walked over from the end of the long street with a simplest river lantern, and when she got off the bridge, she saw him sitting in a wheelchair, pushing, and holding a river lantern in her hand.

At the age of twenty-two, she was in full swing, and finally enough silver taels to redeem herself, she finally dared to come to him, but she couldn't say anything.

Yuan Su couldn't help frowning when he heard her invite herself to be a concubine, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a white star outside the window, shining brightly, crossing the air, and falling suddenly!

"Falling stars in the daytime, a great omen!" Yuan Su was weak and boneless, and he was sitting in a wheelchair, but now seeing that the sky was different, he stood up suddenly, stumbled in his steps, and fell on the couch in front of the window, "Falling from the northeast, pointing directly at the Northern Wei Dynasty - Anu, it is the Northern Wei Dynasty prince Tuoba Ao who attacked Shuo Xueguan?"

"Sir!" Anu hurriedly helped him.

"Ha-the world is going to be chaotic!" Yuan Su suddenly laughed, but the next moment he fell to the ground, unconscious!
