Ting'an's spirit was not very good on this day, and he planned to walk over alone, by the way, but because he had never been to their small courtyard, he didn't know the road, but he was a road idiot, and he still didn't find anyone after asking, so he braved the scorching sun to go around all afternoon, and when he finally arrived at his destination, it was almost dark, and his face was white.

Although he has not been in Xuncheng for several years, the news is not blocked, and he knows everything that happened here, even if he didn't know it when he was in Nanjing, he heard it when he came back.

Huai'an's identity caused an uproar in Xuncheng at that time, and his marriage to Siqing was still talked about by the people in the Meng family, and he listened to these things, so he just listened to them, and didn't care too much.

He and Huai'an have been brothers for more than 20 years, even if they know that they are not related by blood, they are still brothers, and there is nothing to hesitate about.

There was just a small question, which really made him hesitate for a while: should he be called Second Brother Huai'an or brother-in-law now?

Or to put it another way, Huai'an has called him the third brother for so many years, does he have to change his name to the third brother now?

When you think about it, it seems quite interesting.

He laughed and knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

After knocking for a long time, no one came to open it, but the door was locked from the inside, and it should be someone.

He thought that it was not easy for him to come, and looked back, thinking that if they didn't show the way later, maybe he didn't know how to go back, and he had to knock it open now.

He persevered, knocked halfway through, and provoked the neighbors to come out to watch.

In the past few years, the neighbors have really seen what the couple is busy with, and the previous prejudice is completely gone, but they admire the talents of the two of them and respect them more and more.

I don't know how long it took to knock, but the door of the small courtyard finally opened.

The two of them came to open the door together, their faces flushed and gasping slightly.

Ting An stared at the two of them in surprise: "Why is it so long?"

"That...... I didn't hear that. The two said in unison.

"Didn't you hear such a loud voice, what are you doing inside?" Ting An asked solemnly.

The two of them didn't answer, but they heard the neighbors covering their mouths and laughing.

The two of them turned redder and pulled him in a little, and they were about to close the door.

Before closing the door, the neighbors who had not dispersed heard their guest say again: "Brother, is your shirt buttoned wrong, what were you doing just now?"

There was a lot of laughter outside.

Huai'an slammed the door of the courtyard shut, turned around and said to Siqing angrily: "Does he look like Shen Wei No. 2?"

Siqing's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and went in to make tea for them.

Huai'an and Ting'an sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and greeted each other.

Ting An thanked him first and thanked him for returning his name with enamel porcelain, and Huai An also thanked him, saying that it was because of his paintings that he was able to get out of prison.

There is no need to see each other, both of them were on the verge of death at that time, and it was mutually beneficial to be able to escape death.

"Third brother. ”

"Huh?" Ting An naturally responded, and then found that it was useless to think about what to call when he came, they were still them, how they were before, and what they will be in the future.

Listen to Huai'an: "What are your plans?"

"I'm painting a new piece and it's going to take a long time. He replied.

"Your father...... Have I told you what the Meng family will do in the future?"

He shook his head: "Dad knows that I am not here, and never talks to me about this. Then, he sighed softly, "I know, now, I am the only son of the Meng family, but I really can't do what they expect, but I will cooperate, if they have any requests, I will cooperate, and if I can't do it, I will do it." ”

These words made Huai'an feel distressed for no reason, a person who is in the clouds, he may be able to fall into the quagmire, and the big deal will be over from now on, but to pull him into the fireworks of the world and integrate into this world of flowers, it can only be an inescapable torture for this person.

But there is nothing Huai'an can do now.

He smiled and said, "It's best that you can think like this, but you don't have to be too wronged yourself." ”

Ting An said lightly: "It's okay. ”

At this time, Siqing came out with a teacup, and Ting An took a cup, but his hand shook absentmindedly and poured most of it.

Without waiting for Siqing to bring him a towel, he flipped through it, took out a silk handkerchief in his pocket, and gently wiped the tea stains on his cuffs.

This action surprised the two opposite sides for a moment, not for anything else, just because the silk handkerchief was embroidered with red plums, as if it was an object that only women carry.

Seeing their strange looks, Ting An simply calmly stretched the veil and showed it in front of them: "This is what a girl gave me on my way to you today." ”

"The girl sent it?" the two looked at each other.

And Ting An lowered his eyebrows: "Yes, I haven't been able to find your place here, I was tired halfway, and I rested on the side of the road for a while, and a girl came over and gave me this thing...... The appearance is clear, the eyebrows are very gentle, and it is very good. ”

"Oh?"

Ting'an's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, different from Huai'an's chic and handsome, he is more of an elegant bookishness, like a Qionghua jade tree, which makes people feel holy at first sight, and they can't take their eyes off.

has such a appearance, and he became famous at a young age, the girl who admires him in Xuncheng can go to the suburbs, he goes out every day, and it is not uncommon for a girl to follow.

But the strange thing is that he never glanced at those girls, and he didn't pay attention to what the parents looked like, even the clothes he dressed.

But today he looked at the person who sent the silk handkerchief differently, and said that people have gentle eyebrows?

This is the first time in the world!

Before asking more, Meng Ting'an seemed to see through their thoughts, shook the silk handkerchief again, glanced at the embroidered words on the corner, and said lightly: "This girl, if you guess correctly, it should be Miss Gu." ”

"Gu family?"

"Yes, this morning, my father told me something. Ting An put the silk handkerchief on the stone table and didn't look at it again, "They said, the Meng family can't be without a queen, I am not young, I have to marry a wife and take a concubine." ”

"So......" The two of them have understood by now, "The Meng family said a family affair for you, is it this Miss Gu?"

It is not difficult to understand why Ting An has an impression of that girl, he saw the embroidered words on the silk handkerchief, and realized that this was his future wife, so he paid more attention to it.

"Hmm. Seeing that they understood, Ting An nodded and emphasized again, "It's good." ”

But there was no hint of "good" in his face and expression.

Perhaps seeing the questioning looks of the two, Ting An continued to explain: "The door is right, and the knowledge is reasonable, so it is enough." ”

He said this, but Siqing was silent.

Listening to what he said, Miss Gu was able to follow all the way, and handed over the silk handkerchief in time when she saw him tired, but she followed his wishes and never came close to disturb her, probably because she had already been deeply rooted, but she probably didn't know that what she got in exchange was just a good match.

Siqing couldn't help but interject: "Third brother, if you don't have any intention of others, don't delay......"

When she said this, she didn't feel right, this was not Ting An delaying Miss Gu, he himself was unhappy, they were delaying each other.

But Ting'an was forced by his family to marry a wife and have children, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't shirk it.

After thinking about it, Siqing only asked: "Since you have to get married, the right person is not the key, why don't you choose the one you like, third brother, what kind of person do you like?"

Ting An was stunned for a moment, raised his head silently, and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was pondering, but his eyes were blank.

Seeing that he was silent, Siqing thought about it, and asked again: "Could it be that third brother, you actually already have someone you like?"

Ting An was silent again, and then asked, "What do you like?"

"Huh?"

"What does it mean to like it?" he asked.

"This ......" made the two people on the other side embarrassed.

I want to watch him all the time, I want to have him, I want to have a skin-to-skin relationship with him, that feeling can only be understood and indescribable.

They were red-faced when asked, but the person in front of them did not intend to give up: "What kind of feelings do you feel about a person to be considered liking?"

Si Qing took a long breath and asked him, "When you were helpless, the first thing you thought of was, who gave you courage?"

Meng Tingan thought for a while: "The first time I felt helpless, when I just returned to China, I wanted to hold an art exhibition in Sigu Xuan, but because I was late, Si Gu Xuan refused to accept my paintings, at that time I remember that we went to Cheng Gongzi to help, and I thought of him first." ”

Siqing let out a soft sigh, but Huai'an next to him let out a big "ah".

Siqing continued to ask: "When you encounter danger, who is the first person who can sacrifice yourself to save you?"

"Dangerous?" Ting An said slowly, "When the Porcelain Art Society opened for the first time, it was smashed by someone, and at that time, Boss Weng led people to trap us inside, and it was the ...... who protected me Cheng Gongzi, he also broke two fingers for this, and the first thing I thought of was him. ”

"Huh?" Huai'an's eyes widened.

And Siqing's face was calm, not surprised at all.

She then asked, "Whether you are sought after or criticized, who do you think will always identify with you?"

"There is a person who told me that in this world, there will always be one person who will appreciate my paintings, and this person is also Cheng Gongzi. ”

"So when you are in trouble and can't sleep at night, who do you want to show up in front of you?"

"I didn't expect to see anyone, but I was delighted to have someone who came out of nowhere late at night when I was lost. ”

"Who is that that can make you secretly happy, but also make you anxious, and make you difficult to let go?"

"Cheng Gongzi came to visit late at night, saying that he was returning for me, and I was selfishly happy, but he was arrested because of this, and I was exhausted, and I heard that he defected and almost killed his second brother, which has always made me difficult to let go......"

Before Ting An finished speaking, he suddenly paused and stopped abruptly.

He looked at Siqing in a daze, and then glanced at Huai'an's stunned look, after a long time, his eyes drifted to a plum tree outside the courtyard, it was the height of summer, and the plum tree was only a light pole, which looked desolate and desolate.

There are also plum trees in his yard, and in winter, there is a dark fragrance floating, which is his exclusive property, and the entire house of the Meng family, only in his yard, there is a tree and flowers every winter.

He came back to his senses, put the silk handkerchief on the stone table back in his pocket, regained his indifferent expression, and spit out a few words softly.

"Ridiculous. ”
