In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month, the capital has been raining for three days in a row, the streets and alleys are almost everywhere with stagnant water as pits, the rich and refreshing earthy fragrance is more obvious, and to the far south, it has been raining for nearly half a month, although the rain is small and like a pearl, not as strong as the north, but more lingering and gentle in the south. is like a beauty with a slender waist, light veil, and still holding a pipa, which makes people even more intoxicated.

"Drive—"

In front of an official post station that was simple to repair and did not lose the majesty of the official house, in the distance, I saw a man wrapped in a robe, riding a fast horse hurried towards this place, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves stepping over the waterlogged stone bricks, and suddenly splashed countless scattered water droplets, falling on the horse's legs, or farther away.

Until the door of the inn, the man almost did not wait for the horse to stop, and then he turned over, only to see that the horse also stopped quite spiritually, and was already wet in the rain, and the oily and long mane was sticking together because of the dampness, although it became a handful, but it did not lose the horse's heroic spirit.

I saw that this horse Xu was tired of hurrying, and he only lightly beat his nose, and occasionally stepped on the ground under his feet, and gradually a lot of water rose.

The person who received the reception at the gate of the post station came up, and saw the man in the robes raise his hand and put the reins in his hands at will, and the person in front hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and then saw the man in the man's clothes walking in with his feet raised and walked in without looking back and ordered: "Lead the horse to the stable, feed the best horse grass, and wait carefully, I will have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

The man who took the reins nodded his head hurriedly, and then another man followed the man in the coat and walked quickly through the corridor.

"After this station, the next place will be to Zhejiang. ”

The man in the lily robe walked towards the inside of the station, unbuttoned the lily robe he was wearing, took off the hat and inquired.

The person who followed closely behind heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Exactly, this is the last post station to Zhejiang." ”

The man who walked in front of him was stunned when he heard this, and then threw the hat and coat in his hand to the man beside him, and then said in a loud voice: "Then according to the distance, prepare enough horse grass for me, and ask for the best." ”

When the attendant behind him heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "That's nature, that's nature." ”

As soon as the words fell, he arrived at the door of the guest house, and the man walked in with his feet raised, and then another post station staff dressed as walked over.

"To get the best in the room. ”

Hearing the guest's command, the man immediately said, "Okay, please." ”

I saw that the man then went up to the second floor, put down a very simple package on his body, and then heard a "sonorous sound", and saw a saber being casually placed on the side of the package.

When the hot water was brought and the man was familiar with it, he turned downstairs and chose a seat in the hall to sit down, and then turned to a loud voice: "Warm a pot of wine, and serve a few side dishes." ”

When the people in the post station brought the wine and food, they put it down with the same care, and then turned to bend down and took out the warm wine jug, respectfully poured it into the wine glass, and said: "I'm afraid of the cold when I travel in the rain, so hurry up and warm up." ”

The man said "um" with satisfaction, then took the wine glass and raised his head to see one, and when he saw that the man was about to serve the wine again, he saw the man raise his hand to block the wine glass and said, "Okay, you go down, I'll come by myself." ”

Seeing this, the man paused slightly, raised his eyes as if to remind something, the man raised his head silently, and did not ask much, reached out and poked out some broken silver from his sleeve, and threw it casually, and was picked up by the man, and immediately smiled even more flatteringly: "Thank you, Lord reward." ”

When the man retreated, the man poured himself a drink, and his body gradually warmed up a lot, and he listened to the sound of the rain outside the door, and the stagnant water slowly slid down from the eaves, and when he reached the eaves, he couldn't stand it and fell, and practiced a string of broken bead curtains, and smashed onto the platform under the eaves, and there were bursts of clear water.

As it was getting late outside, candles had been lit in the hall, and the dim light illuminated the whole room, faintly revealing a bit of warmth and comfort, which made people feel relieved.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door again, and then someone came to ask, "Is there still a place to live?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Seeing that the people in the post station went to answer, the man who was drinking looked up and looked at it, but his eyes were fixed, and the next moment, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was even more difficult to hide his excitement in his words.

"Brother Yu Cheng?"

The man who entered the hall heard the sound and looked over, and when he saw the drinker standing up slowly, his eyes were also slightly shining, and he raised his hand as if he was an old acquaintance and pointed incredulously: "Brother Wende." ”

Before the people in the post station could react, they saw the drinking man immediately take a few steps forward and said excitedly: "I never thought that you and I would meet here." ”

The person who was called Brother Yu Cheng also had a happy smile in his eyebrows, and then arched his hand and said: "It has been several years since you and I met again. ”

During the conversation between the two, they immediately became interested, changed the guest room on the second floor, put all the wine and food on the table, closed the door, and talked happily.

It turned out that these two people studied under one person in their early years, and the friendship between classmates was quite deep, until they both left the academy later, and they gradually lost contact.

Now a few years later, although time has passed, it has not worn away the affection between the two.

Under the candle in the rain, the two of them recalled the past with a lot of emotion, and couldn't help but drink a few pots of wine, until late at night, even the people in the post station were almost resting, the man who was called Brother Wende was drunk, and suddenly, he only felt that the people and things in front of him were wrapped in a heavy blurred shadow, the more he wanted to see clearly, but he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and in the end, he couldn't hold it anymore, "Bang dang-" Lying on the table and falling asleep.

"Brother Wende, let's have another drink. ”

The person on the other side seemed to be unaware, smiled and picked up a glass of wine to invite again, but even called a few times, but did not get a response, until the probe touched it, but only heard the deep sound of the person on the other side, the person's smile gradually froze, and little by little it was retracted.

"Wow, blahh—"

I only heard the man knock on the table under his hand three times, and the next moment, I saw the door of the room that was closed slowly pushed open, and then I saw a man in an ink coat walking in, although he looked young, he could not hide his heroic spirit.

"Lord Mu. ”

As the door behind him was closed again, the man who entered the door answered lightly, turned to look at the person lying there, and heard the person who was called Brother Yu Cheng say unhurriedly: "The medicine in the wine is enough for him to sleep until tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Frame walked in coldly and calmly, saw the package at a glance, opened it casually, and sure enough, he saw a letter covered with ink clay lying in it, Mu Frame did not pause at all, took out an extremely sharp silver piece from his sleeve, put the ink clay on the candle flame and roasted it, seeing that the ink clay was a little thinner, the next moment he quickly cut the seal with a silver piece, and when his fingertips easily pulled out the letterhead that was as thin as a cicada's wings, Mu Frame slowly opened, looked down, and the corners of his lips were almost imperceptible.

Sure enough, as His Highness said.

There was silence in the room, Mu Frame turned to bring a copper basin, poured all the unfinished wine on the table into the basin, and then someone who followed walked in with warm water, and gently poured it into the basin.

Just when the man on the other side was surprised, he saw that Mu Frame had already gently spread the letter in his hand in the wine, and he heard the man's surprised voice, but Mu Frame was unmoved.

Gradually, something strange happened, and I saw that the letter was completely immersed in the wine, but the words on it were not blurred at all, and it was even more blurred, as if there was nothing unusual.

Today's Chinese courtiers and inkers are more elegant and elegant, holding the Tong smoke ink of the An clan as the most treasure, listening to His Royal Highness, the quality of the Tong smoke ink is delicate, not only has a faint pine fragrance, but the words written are not dizzy and do not melt when encountering water.

Now that I see it, it's true.

After the letterhead was soaked for a while, Mu Frame picked it up lightly, and then handed it to the person who followed him: "Unfold it flat, dry it raw, and you will keep it well tonight, what does this letterhead look like originally, and what will it look like tomorrow, there must be no wrinkles, let alone change color." ”

"Yes. ”

When the man heard this, he immediately gave up, took the thing and retreated, Mu Frame turned to look at the man opposite, and then looked at the man who was asleep right now: "You can continue to drink with him, and I will deliver the letter untouched tomorrow." ”

The man on the other side nodded when he heard this, and then said respectfully, "Yes." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Frame turned around and walked out, leaving the two people who were drinking, as if nothing had happened in the silence.
