The scenery of this night is indescribable, Zhu Shiyang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his physical strength is excellent, and he acted absurdly before, and he is well versed in bed sheets, Lu Wenyuan's virgin body like a blank sheet of paper, like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, is eaten and wiped clean inside and out. The two tossed from the middle of the night until dawn, Zhu Shiyang was a little slack, but Lu Wenyuan was already sore and weak, and he couldn't support it anymore, so he turned over with difficulty and fell asleep tiredly.

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the sunlight shone in through the heavy gauze tent, soft and beautiful. Lu Wenyuan moved slightly, and felt that his body was very warm, and one arm was placed on his waist through the brocade quilt, and it was Zhu Shiyang who hugged him from behind.

Lu Wenyuan turned over, and sure enough, he crashed into Zhu Shiyang's arms, looked up, and saw that he had already woken up, and was looking at himself with blazing eyes, Lu Wenyuan was a little flustered, and hurriedly lowered his head. Zhu Shiyang smiled, kissed him on the forehead, and took him deeper into his arms.

The two hugged each other for a moment, Lu Wenyuan buried his head in Zhu Shiyang's neck, and smelled a faint clear air on his body, which was the smoke he commonly used in the palace. Lu Wenyuan couldn't tell what kind of spice it was, but he thought it smelled very good, mixed with the warm breath in the bed tent, he was drunk, and soon he was a little drowsy.

When Zhu Shiyang saw him like this, he pulled him away and said, "Do you still want to sleep? It's not too late, and you're not hungry?" ”

Lu Wenyuan heard this, but suddenly came to his senses, and exclaimed: "Isn't it time? So saying, he hurriedly propped himself up from the couch and looked around for clothes.

Zhu Shiyang saw that he was flustered, a little funny, and stopped: "What are you busy with, it's delayed today, it's not too late to go tomorrow." You're going to have a good day's rest, eat, and make up for sleep, ...... last night."

Lu Wenyuan said anxiously: "How can this make the minister arrange affairs by day, and there is a progress every day." It is now August, and the emperor has been away from Beijing for nearly forty years, which is not short, so naturally the sooner he returns to Beijing, the better, and he can't afford to delay one more day. ”

Zhu Shiyang didn't care, and took him over with a smile, not letting him get out of bed: "What's the matter, it's a big deal that I let King Kangping go over and keep an eye on it." He has nothing to do all day long, and he is happy to give him some errands to do, and those chores for returning to Luan will be handed over to him from today onwards, and you will accompany me here for a good life. ”

Lu Wenyuan felt that it was inappropriate, but Zhu Shiyang refused to let him go, so he had to let Zhu Shiji do it for him for the time being. But Lu Wenyuan would never add a little trouble to others, and Zhu Shiji was the respect of the prince, so Lu Wenyuan didn't dare to bother him, and in the next day, he took over the affairs again. Zhu Shiyang didn't say anything when he saw him like this, but now he feels very sorry for him, and he doesn't want to be separated for a while, he just follows him wherever he goes. Zhu Shiji likes to follow Zhu Shiyang around, and the three of them follow me, and I follow you, and they are busy on the dock together.

It's a pity that Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji have a stubborn temperament, how can they be patient and deal with miscellaneous matters? It seems that they are busy by Lu Wenyuan's side every day, but in fact, they are just doing a disservice, and it is not as easy as Lu Wenyuan being alone. Lu Wenyuan was extremely troubled by them, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

On this day, seeing that all the affairs on the ship were almost ready, only the soft cabin was left and had not been purchased. Lu Wenyuan wanted to go to the market to buy it, but Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji were reluctant, thinking that the things of the people were crude and insisted on moving them from the palace. Lu Wenyuan couldn't, so he had to let them, and it happened that he and the craftsman had a few wages to calculate, so he stayed in the cabin to divide the accounts, and asked Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji to bring a team of guards back to the house to carry the fine soft.

When the two left, it was just after noon, Lu Wenyuan sent the two away, and then carefully calculated the accounts in the cabin, and divided the wages one by one with the craftsmen, and when the last craftsman received the reward and thanked him and left, the sun was already setting outside the cabin, but Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji had not returned.

Lu Wenyuan was inevitably anxious, walked out of the cabin to visit, and waited for about half an hour before he heard a commotion on the shore, Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji rode two tall horses and led a team of guards to talk and laugh.

Lu Wenyuan just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that what the guards were holding in their hands was not a brocade quilt soft pillow, but some bottles and cans, flowers and plants, bonsai, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and a few of them walked behind, still carrying bird cages. Lu Wenyuan was only afraid that the two brothers were going to make some trouble, and sure enough, he heard Zhu Shiyang say from afar: "It's not that I said you, the layout in the cabin when we came was also perfunctory, I looked at it in my spare time, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, except for a picture of the cold forest and plains, are all fake." ”

Zhu Shiji smiled bitterly: "It's not that the younger brother refuses to buy it, it's really that the authentic works in the antique shop in Beijing are limited, and the imperial brother refuses to take the palace out." Now that the treasures of the younger brother are about to be collected by the royal brother, the imperial brother should not blame the younger brother. ”

Zhu Shiyang snorted and said, "But I see that there are many good porcelains in your pavilion, which are more exquisite than those in my palace." It's not easy for me to take the waterway, and when I turn around, you will be sent to the capital with a good life. ”

Zhu Shiji was distressed, and bargained after him, and the two of them talked all the way before they got on the boat.

Lu Wenyuan welcomed the two into the cabin, saw them commanding the guards to put down the things in their hands, and asked, "Didn't the emperor and the prince go back to the mansion to buy a soft one? Why are you moving back to such things now?"

Zhu Shiyang was stunned by his question, and said with a smile: "Look, I forgot about business." King Kangping, you don't mention me. ”

Zhu Shiji smiled bitterly: "How can I think of it, it's too late to feel sorry for my baby." ”

Zhu Shiyang said: "That's it, I won't leave tomorrow, when those pillows and bedding can't be purchased, I don't have to rush at this moment." It is still important to arrange the furnishings in the cabin properly, and the decoration around me can be careful, so that I can make this road smooth. ”

Lu Wenyuan listened to it from the sidelines, I really don't know what the truth is, can calligraphy and painting be covered? Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji had already started to arrange, one was thinking about the position of the porcelain vase, and the other was standing on the stool to hang calligraphy and paintings. Lu Wenyuan was afraid that Zhu Shiji would fall down, so he helped him on the side, and the two of them had just hung up a straight picture, but they heard Zhu Shiyang "tsk" in the distance, and he was quite dissatisfied, and said: "Why did you choose this one? ”

Zhu Shiji looked at it for a while, and retorted: "Brother Huang's words are wrong, where is this cumbersome, it is clearly the icing on the cake." ”

Zhu Shiyang was willing to give in easily, the two insisted on their own words, and after arguing for a long time, they wanted to have a try. The two agreed, and each arranged a room according to their own wishes, and finally Lu Wenyuan judged the winners and losers.

Lu Wenyuan only said that he was the emperor on one side and the prince on the other, and he couldn't afford to offend either side, how could this be good? After worrying for a while, seeing that both of them were busy directing the guards to choose the furnishings to be used later, he took a hole and slipped off the boat. By the time Zhu Shiyang and Zhu Shiji had arranged everything and came back to look for him, he had already sneaked back to the palace for a long time.

Three days later, everything was ready to stop, and Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan set off to return to Beijing. Zhu Shiji led his subordinates to Hangzhou Ferry and set up wine practice for the two. The autumn breeze was bleak, and the two brothers were relatively good for a long time, and they thought that the next meeting was far away, and they couldn't give up.

But said that Zhu Shiyang had been very melancholy for a while since he said goodbye to Zhu Shiji, only to feel that Zhu Shiji was talking and laughing everywhere inside and outside the cabin, and he was involved in a feeling of longing.

If you have words, you will be long, and if you have no words, you will be short. Soon the boat had traveled to the vicinity of Jinan Mansion, because on the way to the road to visit Yan Yong and Shen Lun, Zhu Shiyang ordered someone to stop the boat at the ferry, and he took Lu Wenyuan and a group of guards to ride to Yanzhou Mansion.

When everyone went on the road in the early morning, they arrived at the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, inquired all the way, and it was dusk when they arrived at Yan Yong's Mansion.

Zhu Shiyang and others reported it in the concierge, and the family entered the house to report, so they got off the horse and looked around. This Yan Mansion was originally built by Zhu Shiyang personally ordered the Ministry of Industry to build, and now it is built so magnificently, it can be regarded as a demonstration of Yan Yong's past achievements, Zhu Shiyang is very satisfied, and said: "I have always been at ease with the Ministry of Industry, and this time I should reward the Ministry of Industry when I return to the palace." ”

Lu Wenyuan smiled slightly on the side, and before he could speak, he heard a sharp sound of boots in the house, and Yan Yong said in a loud voice: "I told you that you don't believe it, the emperor will definitely not forget what I am waiting for during this southern tour, isn't this coming?"

Zhu Shiyang laughed when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Lu Wenyuan, Yan Yong and Shen Lun had already come out of the mansion, and saw that the two of them were each wearing a half-worn home-style coarse cloth gown, full of joy and spirits, and stepped forward to pay respects: "The minister is Yan Yong, and the grass people Shen Lun has seen the emperor." ”

Yan Yong was only happy before, and when he heard Shen Lun calling himself a grass citizen, he remembered that he had already retired to the office, where could he still be a minister, but he blamed him for saying it smoothly when he was in the government and the opposition before, and he was busy and asked for guilt. Zhu Shiyang hugged the two of them: "It's okay, now that I am out of the palace, I don't pay attention to these, besides, Lord Yan and Lord Shen are dedicated to the country, and they are my auxiliary ministers at any time." ”

Yan Yong and Shen Lun were very happy when they heard this, and immediately led Zhu Shiyang and others into the house. After settling down, the two heard that the emperor and Lu Wenyuan were busy with the road all day, and they didn't have dinner yet, so they hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare.

In the kitchen, I heard that the current saint was here with Shousuke, solemn and abnormal, the meals were all made with excellence, no more than Yan Yong and Shen Lun's usual coarse tea and light rice, and they were busy for a while. Zhu Shiyang was not in a hurry to eat, and after going into the house with Lu Wenyuan to clean up and wash up, he went to the main hall to wait and talk about some gossip.

Yan Yong and Shen Lun also came to accompany them. Zhu Shiyang saw that although the two of them lived in a golden house and a jade hall, they were very plainly furnished, and there were only a few family members of the envoys, so he asked: "What do the two adults live on now? You refuse to accept the false position I have granted you in the Nanjing Imperial Court, and without Yulu, is the amount of money in the family still enough?"

Yan Yong accompanied Zhu Shiyang's head and said with a smile: "Emperor Lao is worried, it's really enough." The grass people and Shen Lun have ancestors handed down a few acres of thin fields, and some of them were placed when they were officials, and now they are rented to nearby tenant farmers for farming, and they will receive a few profits at the end of the year, but they will also have enough food and clothing. Nanjing's official position, even if it is a false title, also needs to go to Nanjing to take up his post, the grass people and others are old, and they just want to guard their homeland for a few years to live a quiet life, because they rejected the emperor's good intentions and hoped that the emperor would forgive their sins. ”

Zhu Shiyang said with a smile: "Lord Yan is serious, what kind of crime is this, the fallen leaves are reasonable, I can understand, I can understand." ”

Lu Wenyuan said on the side: "Some time ago, the prefect of Yanzhou also paid tribute to the two adults, originally for the two adults to rent the land to the local tenant farmers cheaply, and the rent was half lower than that on the market, which attracted the tenant farmers to compete for rent, and they were all proud of the cultivation of the fields of Yan and Shen, and there were even rich peasants and strong gentry who came to the door to bribe them. However, the two adults were unmoved, and went to the tenants' homes to investigate, and were only willing to rent the fields to those who were poor, and to help. It can be seen that whether the two adults live in the temple or in the countryside, they can share their worries for the country. ”

Zhu Shiyang nodded in praise and asked Lu Wenyuan, "How do you know so much?"

Lu Wenyuan said: "It is the prefect of Yanzhou who writes in detail, how the two adults sternly refuse the bribes of the rich peasants and strong gentry, and how they help the poor and the weak in the grassland, which is vividly depicted, as if they have seen it in person, and they are about to catch up with the wonderful script." ”

The words made everyone laugh. Yan Yong said: "The grass people and Shen Lun don't have much food and clothing on weekdays, but now there are only a few old servants who are waiting in Beijing that day, and it doesn't cost much." It is not easy for farmers to survive, and we should do our best to be compassionate. ”

Lu Wenyuan nodded slightly, thinking deeply. Zhu Shiyang remembered that he was reckless that day, and he actually drove away these two loyal ministers who cherished his family and country for Chen Yan, and couldn't help but feel very guilty, and bowed his head and said: "I was really ridiculous back then, regardless of loyalty and treachery, and let down the two adults. Are you two still weird now?"

Yan Yong and Shen Lun didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to do so, and in turn comforted Zhu Shiyang, who was a little happy. At this time, the kitchen has prepared the meal, brought it to the table, and sure enough, the wine is warm and the dishes are hot, which is very tempting.

After dinner, Zhu Shiyang saw that the sky was still bright outside, and it was already autumn, and the cool breeze was refreshing, so he proposed to sit in the courtyard. Outside the verandah of the main hall is a grapevine, lined with flower beds, in which some begonias are sparsely planted in the moon season, and when the flowers are in bloom, they are extraordinarily lively. The grape trellis is densely attached to the grape vines, the leaves are thick green, verdant and dripping, it is the season when the grapes are ripe, the bunches of grapes are hanging down, almost bending the shelf, Zhu Shiyang looks at it and likes it, so he asks someone to bring a few rattan chairs, sit under the grape trellis to relax and eat, and watch the sunset in the sky.

Yan Yong instructed his family to pick a few bunches of grapes from the shelf to wash them, and send them to the emperor to taste. After washing it for a while, it was brought to the table, and it was really full and lovely. Zhu Shiyang was very happy, put one in his mouth and ate it first, and praised: "It's so sweet, it's even better than the one in my palace!"

Everyone was happy when they saw that the emperor was happy, and they all ate a few each. Yan Yong said: "It's okay now, until the night of August 15, the grapes are stained with moon frost, and they are really ripe, and when they are eaten, it is a different taste." If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can taste it carefully after returning to the palace. ”

Zhu Shiyang smiled and said, "Okay, I remember." After a pause, seeing that this grape was really prosperous, I couldn't help but remember the legend of the meeting at the Magpie Bridge, and asked: "I heard that when I sat under the grape trellis on the day of Qixi Festival, I could hear the voice of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky, have you ever heard it?"

Yan Yong said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the emperor, I haven't heard the voice of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, I can only hear Shen Lun whispering in my ears." Shen Lun has worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate all his life, and his habits of speech and officials cannot be changed to this day, and without others to impeach him, he will come to me every day for trouble. ”

Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan saw that although he was complaining and sighing, the smile on his face was undiminished, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

At this time, Shen Lun was coming out of the hall, and Yan Yong hurriedly closed his mouth. Shen Lun walked over, took a thin blanket in his hand, bent over and covered Yan Yong's knee, and said, "It's so cold, I don't know how to cover it, tomorrow I have a problem with my legs, but don't shout pain with me." As he spoke, he couldn't straighten up. Yan Yong hurriedly helped him and sighed: "You can also take care of yourself, that old waist, you should also find a Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

As the two spoke, a group of southbound geese were chirping and flying in mid-air, their cries were clear and echoing in the darkness. Shen Lun straightened up to look, and Yan Yong also raised his head and pointed on the side. Lu Wenyuan looked at the situation of the two of them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but add a smile, but he felt that his hand was held under the sleeve robe. Lu Wenyuan turned his head to look, only to see Zhu Shiyang also looking at the two of them with a smile, seeing that he turned his head, he looked at himself and smiled, and his hands were clenched tighter under his sleeve robe. Lu Wenyuan understood, so he also shook it back firmly.

Early the next morning, Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan said goodbye to Yan Yong and Shen Lun and continued to take people north by boat. At this time, they were not far from the capital, and the two no longer stopped along the way, but only returned to Beijing. On this day, the ship was heading to the vicinity of Cangzhou Mansion in Beizhili, Zhu Shiyang woke up early in the morning, and saw that it was gloomy outside the cabin, as if it was going to rain, so he reluctantly got up, pestered Lu Wenyuan**, and wanted to sleep. Lu Wenyuan wanted to get up. Zhu Shiyang selfishly wanted him to accompany him, so he hugged him from behind and didn't let him stay, Lu Wenyuan couldn't resist him, so he had to lie down again.

Zhu Shiyang pulled the brocade to his shoulder, seeing that he lowered his eyes in his arms, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was very obedient, and he couldn't help but feel full of heart, feeling that he had never been more precious than the person in front of him in his life, and the rare treasures he had in the past were nothing at all. Thinking like this, I gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was still gloomy in the cabin, but the people around me were gone. Zhu Shiyang lifted the bed tent to inspect it, and saw that Lu Wenyuan was standing in front of the window, wearing only a single shirt on his body, and his posture became more and more thin and thin. Zhu Shiyang got off the bed, took his robe and draped it over his shoulders, and said, "It's so cold, what are you doing standing here alone?"

Lu Wenyuan came back to his senses and tilted his head slightly. Zhu Shiyang felt a hint of coolness on his face, and when he looked at it, he saw ripples on the surface of the canal, and knew that it was autumn rain. Zhu Shiyang hugged Lu Wenyuan from behind, felt his fingertips cold, and saw that he had a somewhat sad look on his face, so he asked softly, "What's wrong with you, but you have back pain?"

Lu Wenyuan shook his head lightly, leaned on Zhu Shiyang, and did not speak. Zhu Shiyang asked him again and again, and then he hesitated and said: "The minister is just worried, now that he is getting closer and closer to the capital, the minister is thinking about the relationship between the minister and the emperor, and I don't know how many tongues and wrongs will be caused in the future, so I feel that I have no bottom in my heart." ”

Zhu Shiyang hugged him and said, "There's nothing to worry about, what do you think of Yan Yonghe and Shen Lun?"

Lu Wenyuan remembered the scene of the two of them that day, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Lord Yan and Lord Shen are very good. ”

Zhu Shiyang said: "That's it, they are now the future me and you." When the two of us are old, we will go to the height of the Forbidden City with crutches together to see the prosperous world of the Ming Dynasty. Let's not be Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Dong Xian, let alone Fu Jian and Murong, but a pair of monarchs and ministers who will be praised for eternity. As he spoke, he clenched Lu Wenyuan's hand.

Lu Wenyuan smiled slightly, his eyes were distant, and the wetness like autumn rain flickered faintly in his eyes, but fortunately, Zhu Shiyang stood behind him and never saw it. The ship passed through the drizzle and continued to approach the capital not far away.
