He walked deeper into the crowd of people in the street, and soon drowned in the endless crowd. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, at this time, the sound of dance and music had not yet sounded in the window, and several people sat quietly, waiting for Li Can's arrival.

The fourth floor of the observation tower is not a compartment, but a huge through-room, extravagant but elegant, is the first choice for many dignitaries and nobles in the city.

What's even better is that through the windows on the fourth floor, you can see the most prosperous Suzaku Street in Chang'an City.

After the bored Shangguan Xueyu drank a cup of tea, she still felt tasteless in her mouth, and in order to avoid Shen Jun's excessive jokes, she pretended to be watching the scenery and leaned against the window.

The golden sunlight came from the sky of the street, breaking through the clouds and fog, like a golden thread with a needle piercing people's hearts at once. The scattered light slowly gathered, forming a golden ribbon, spread on the ground as if to welcome distinguished guests, and the people of Chang'an stepped on the light and stepped on the sun-lit splendid street leisurely.

The trivial and mediocre market life in Shangguan Xueyu, who was born in Zhumen, still seemed to be quite interesting, and she looked down at the change of the crowd with relish at the window.

Shen Jun couldn't be idle for a moment, kept gagging, saying some vulgar or elegant jokes, Gu Chaomin had a cold temperament, was not good at words, and didn't know how to answer, only occasionally smiled, which made Shen Jun quite unhappy.

Shi Jiaheng is fluent in writing, and has been fluent in the answer to the Shengshang's policy, and is praised as not inferior to Hanlin students, and is also a famous young talent in the forbidden army. It's a pity that every time he encounters a banquet and entertainment, he looks like he is not in good spirits, and sits quietly in a corner, if there are occasional amazing words during the game, but he always refuses to say a word, but he is by no means unfamiliar with the world, wooden and conceited, but seems calm and steady.

But this was not the case when he was at the border, he was not a restrained person, and his personality was also arrogant, often drinking and joking with the soldiers in the barracks, and he was full of poetry and books, and his behavior was well-founded. He was brilliant in wisdom and wisdom, and he served the public with his real talent and learning, and was loved by the whole army. In the barracks, he was not only the commander of the soldiers, but also the brother who was born and died with them. Every day, I drank the desert sand, watched the sunset on the grassland, and threw the blood in my heart, how enjoyable it was. But now he is trapped like a small canary in this splendid and prosperous Chang'an City, although there are endless delicious delicacies, endless splendor and dazzling, but the power center under the cover of this peaceful world is surging everywhere, full of dangers, far more treacherous and unpredictable than the battlefield fighting, he can only stay away from strife and live a quiet life in order to protect himself and his father on the front line.

The first battle of Xunbao made him famous, and those who had good deeds ranked him with several prominent aristocratic sons in Chang'an, so he naturally became friends with the three of them, and through Gu Chaomin's relationship, he met Shangguan Xueyu. The flood entered the book of ten thousand words, so that the saint benefited the people, so that the prime minister won the reputation of bearing the worries of the king, so it was more appreciated, and even more, it was rumored that the prime minister wanted to recruit him as a fast son-in-law of the dragon, but he had to pretend to be stupid and confused because of the prime minister's face. In the eyes of outsiders, this year he can be described as cooking oil with fire and flowers, but in fact, he really has unspeakable suffering, like suffering on fire.

He also knows that the emperor's reliance is accompanied by temptation and restraint, and his situation in Chang'an is really one with his father's actions at the border, and he does not dare to make a mistake in half a line, so he always deliberately hides his strength and strives to show his ordinary side.

But after a long time, he was tired of doing nothing like this, wasting time and resurrecting his flesh. He should have clenched his steel spear to fight the enemy, but he could only hang a richly decorated sword and do nothing in the night. What terrified him even more was that one day he would indulge in this glitzy and empty life, and his ambitions, grand ideals, and sharp edges and corners would be consumed in this meaningless human struggle, until he became a splendid ornament made of gold and pearls, a rich and mundane thing that had lost his will and was depressed and useless.

His perfunctory attitude made Shen Jun have to turn his gaze to Shangguan Xueyu, who is knowledgeable and interesting.

He pretended to be curious and lay next to Shangguan Xueyu and smiled, "What good things are you looking at?" ”

His hand rubbed her shoulder, he always liked to take advantage of her like this, consciously or unconsciously, although she hated it in her heart, but she never showed a trace of real annoyance, she smiled and turned to the side, dodging him further closer, and said with a smile: "I'm watching the birds fight, it's all your fault, you scared the birds away as soon as you came." ”

Shen Jun knew that she was laughing, and he didn't ask any further, Shangguan Xueyu simply walked around in order to get rid of his entanglement, pretending to appreciate the furnishings in the house.

She saw that the walls were as new and spotless, apparently repainted, and the calligraphy and paintings on the walls had also been replaced. In the room, tables, chairs, benches, and coffee tables are arranged in a circle, and by the window is a large table, on which lies the Nanyin pipa that Yu Yu will play later. Each coffee table is filled with tea, seasonal fruits and snacks.

Shen Jun seemed to be sticky and pestered her, and the other two had long been accustomed to his thick-skinned appearance, so they didn't act as obstruction, but secretly laughed. She was upset, and although she let him follow suit, she was still reluctant to talk, so she walked to the front of the calligraphy and painting, pretending to enjoy the painting with peace of mind.

These paintings are not masterpieces, and some of them don't even know who the author is, but they are all excellent works, each with its own merits, and it is comparable to the non-stereotypical painting academy. There were a few very interesting ones, and she looked at them carefully, until she saw a picture of chrysanthemums, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

In the cold wind in front of the hedge, a cluster of chrysanthemums, yellow, red and white are contrasting with each other, the painting style is simple, the pen is sophisticated, the coloring is bright, there is no dull and thin atmosphere, especially commendable is that the painter actually painted the chrysanthemum swaying with the wind, like the waist of the dancing girl, delicate and tenacious, the vitality that wants to come out seems to gush up from the root of the chrysanthemum, straight into each petal, from a distance it seems that the chrysanthemum is really like dancing in the wind.

Shangguan Xueyu was very surprised, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and the blank space in the upper right corner of the picture was inscribed with Zheng Sixiao's Han Ju poem: "Flowers do not bloom and a hundred flowers are thick, and independent sparse hedges are infinitely interesting." I'd rather die with incense on the branches, and how could he have blown down in the north wind. Shangguan Xueyu's eyes were sharp, and she soon saw that the painting and the words were from two different people. But the cursive writing can be described as a pen walking dragon and snake, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, quite chic atmosphere, but also extraordinary handwriting. Looking at the seal again, the signature is "melancholy guest".

This name is unheard of, Shangguan Xueyu thought for a while, groaned slightly, and doubts gradually appeared, and couldn't help but take a closer look again, always feeling that this painting was deeply mysterious.

Shen Jun also pretended to comment a few words, but it was all a lie.

He intended to make her laugh, but she was deeply annoyed, and in an instant she lost the Yaxing who was looking at the painting, so she returned to her seat and sat down.

After she sat down, she uncovered the tea cup in front of her, and suddenly the water vapor overflowed, and a few wisps of tea leaves floated on the bright red and bright tea water, and a sweet orchid fragrance wafted in. It turned out to be my favorite Keemun black tea.

Shangguan Xueyu nodded with satisfaction, casually picked up the tea lid, and dialed the tea leaves on the tea water.

Li Can and Xuan Xuan were late in arriving, which made Shen Jun gradually impatient, he rubbed his cheeks, fiddled with the teacup boringly, and muttered: "Did these two people forget today or something, when is this time not yet, I knew that they were so late, I couldn't have been so early." He yawned as he spoke.

Shen Jun looked Shangguan Xueyu up and down carefully with her eyes half-open and half-closed, her body was slightly stiff, as if she had been poked out of countless holes by his gaze. He moved to her side, reached out and touched the pattern on her sleeve and smiled, "You are so beautiful today." ”

Shangguan Xueyu pursed her lips and hated to turn around and slap him, but she still held back her anger and forced out a smile to sneer: "There is a dinner party in the palace tonight, so naturally I have to wear something fresh." When the time comes, the princess and the beautiful women take turns to appear on the stage to compete for beauty, and I will be compared. She said that her eyes drifted to Shi Jiaheng, intending to ask for help, but she saw him sitting on the side, rubbing the teacup in his hand and being stunned.

Shen Jun saw her eyes slanted, her arms propped up on the desk, sitting loosely sideways, staring at her with straight eyes, snapping his fingers with his right hand and laughing: "Who dares to compare with you now, you haven't heard that people outside say that you are the first beauty in Chang'an City, even Brother Chaomin's sister Miss Mengying and your second sister can't keep up with your limelight." You see that a few of the people in the crowd outside are coming for us, and they don't want to see your Miss Shangguan. ”

Shangguan Xueyu pretended not to see his eyes, her eyes rolled around, and she smiled prevaricatingly: "Thanks to the promotion, the reputation is excessive, and the little girl is ashamed." ”

Gu Chaomin took in this subtle scene, sneered without a trace in front of people, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and drank it.

Shen Jun looked at Shangguan Xueyu while quietly observing Shi Jiaheng. Shangguan Xueyu also glanced at him from time to time. But Shi Ergongzi, who was the focus of attention, didn't seem to notice it, and just lowered his head to look at the teacup.

Shangguan Xueyu frowned slightly and glanced at him uneasily. Fortunately, Shi Jiaheng finally raised his head, he understood, picked up his tea bowl and handed it to Shen Jun's direction, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, I don't know what kind of tea you have in your cup, mine is Junshan Silver Needle, I can't get used to this, how about we change them one by one?" ”

Shangguan Xueyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and laughed and said, "That's no better." My favorite thing on weekdays is the Junshan Silver Needle. ”

After the two tasted the exchanged tea, they each praised each other's tea, and then discussed various famous teas along the topic. Shangguan Xueyu, who was on the side, was a lady, gentle and quiet, smiling lightly, and couldn't help but interject when she heard something interesting: "I don't know Shi Gongzi, which one do you prefer the most?" ”

Gu Chaomin was not interested in this topic, and put the cup on the table impatiently and said: "It's just tea, in my opinion, it's all the same, it's just something to quench your thirst, and it's worth it." ”

Shen Jun looked like Gu Chaomin, you only know one and don't know the other, crossed his legs and said: "Brother Gu, you are really a layman, tea is like a woman, of course different women have different charms, how can it be the same." ”

Any elegant topic changed its taste when it came to his mouth, Shi Jiaheng stopped answering with reserve, and Shangguan Xueyu only Gu Chaomin snorted coldly with a little ignorance: "Woman? Brother Shen is wrong, women are not tea, at best they are just water for making tea, and they are all the same taste when they are drunk in their mouths. ”

Shen Jun said with a smile: "Oh, only a wood like you who doesn't understand the amorous and doesn't get close to women will say such a thing, because you haven't married yet, if you become your wife in the future, I don't know how much you will be snubbed, and how many empty rooms will be guarded." Isn't it, Brother Jiaheng? ”

Shi Jiaheng said with a straight face: "Two, the female guest is here, let's say a few words." ”

Shangguan Xueyu hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm tired of hearing the shortcomings of the young lady's parents, and I can't ask for it when I can hear the high opinions of several talented people in the world." ”

Shen Jun smiled lightly: "Yo, I didn't expect that Miss Shangguan had a man's heart." ”

Shangguan Xueyu spread her hands and said: "Don't dare to be, Shen Gongzi, you have read all the beauties in the world and know the hearts of women, but it is a pity that you look like a man, but you can't understand the mind of a man." The more cold-hearted someone is on the surface, the more affectionate he is inside. He is now blinded, and he sees the water of disaster but does not see his face. ”

Shen Jun smiled aggrievedly: "You godbrother and sister family, how can I, an outsider, have you understand?" ”

Shangguan Xueyu didn't want to pay attention to him, and resumed the topic just now: "Shi Gongzi, you haven't answered me yet?" ”

Gu Chaomin held the teacup in his hand, shook the cup back and forth, and smiled casually while admiring the patterns on the cup wall: "Are you asking him about tea, or about women?" ”

Shi Jiaheng felt that the feeling of discomfort was getting stronger and stronger, and he really wished that there would be some chaos in the Shenjie Army, so that he could find an excuse to quit early. It happened that Gu Chaomin was also a little irritable and complained a few words, and he immediately got up and said, "If I go out to greet the Hou Ye, by the way, I will go to Fengyalou to inquire, it is better than waiting here." ”

Shen Jun nodded listlessly, and Shangguan Xueyu became more and more annoyed when she saw him leave like this.

Shangguan Xueyu watched Shi Jiaheng leave, Shen Jun saw the affectionate style that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide, and she was affectionate, half-jokingly pinched her orchid finger and pointed at her and then pointed to his back, and sang softly while learning to play: "The falling flowers have danced before the style, and the flowing water is still only going east." ”

After he walked away, Shangguan Xueyu took a large sip of tea in her mouth as if she were retaliating, and looked at him affectionately.

Shen Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, playing with her magnificent eyebrows. She smiled charmingly, her fingers slowly supported Shen Jun's neck, but at this moment of warmth, the corners of her eyes suddenly lengthened, her face was cold, and in an instant, a mouthful of tea was like a downpour, and she sprayed at him with water and tea on his face, pouring water and tea all over his face, looking at his embarrassed appearance, Shangguan Xueyu leaned back and closed with a mischievous smile. Even Gu Chaomin, who had a cold face next to him, couldn't hold back his laughter.

He was not angry or angry, he smiled for a while, stretched out his tongue and licked the tea on his lips without leaking, and looked at her with a pair of evil peach blossom eyes.
