Seven days later, in the teahouse, in the noisy street, the noisy Xiao Er kept greeting the guests who came in, greeting with his loud shouting, with that false smile, seeing the guests who didn't tip, he spat at his back, the guests in front didn't notice it, and sat down happily, this scene was very clear in the eyes of everyone, but they wouldn't say it out loud.

After all, people who can't even afford a tip are really few, and they are dressed so luxuriously, even if they are very poor, they won't even be able to afford a copper plate, Li Zhouhe reduced his salary, Yan Jiong smiled knowingly, every time I saw this scene, I had to be amused by Xiao Er's eyes and actions.

"Brother Jiang, have you thought about it? Really leaving? But if Li has any inconsiderate hospitality, or something that he has done wrong, please forgive me, can you? ”

Li Zhou couldn't understand why he suddenly had to go back, in the entire Chang'an, he Li Zhou didn't have many friends, and the salary cut was one of the very cherished ones, he left, when the time came, the imperial examination was opened, Yang Jiong was also leaving, and he really had no friends in Chang'an.

Although he will leave Chang'an soon and go to Lulingfang County, he will not be more than three years at most, he doesn't want to return to Chang'an, he has no friends, he is alone, he poured a glass of wine for Li Zhou with a melancholy expression, and poured a glass for Yang Jiong, trying to control his emotions, squeezing out a smile: "Brother Li is serious, it's none of Brother Li's business, it's because I'm tired and don't want to continue to live such a frightened life, I'm left alone in my family, presumably my mother doesn't want me to continue on this road, and. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, raised his wine glass, and drank it in one gulp, the stimulating wine poured into his throat, and a hot and spicy suddenly came up, and he hiccuped, and the wine became more mellow, more exciting, and more spicy, and the salary cut didn't care too much about this, and laughed and said: "Moreover, I'm really not suitable here, you also know that although I'm usually a little nonsense and crazy, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand anything, Chang'an is really not suitable for me?" As for going to war, ....... ”

Battlefield?

This is a place where glory and death coexist, the surviving people return with glory and glory, and the dead people, the sad point can only be buried indiscriminately, a few years later, even a place to worship can not be found, and some people with a life experience, maybe they can also leave a whole corpse, and be sent back to Chang'an, such as his father Jiang Ke, when he went out, a big living person, came back with a happy smile.

The salary cut still forgot the original scene, and the father came back with a smile, comforting them with his mouth, saying that he would be back soon, but what was the result?

Dead, well-deserved.

But what did he leave behind? Not glory, not glory, not joy, but sorrow.

Just responded to that sentence: A few people came back to fight in ancient times.

He didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore, for the sake of his mother, for the sake of his wife, who had been through the door for a long time, he couldn't do anything.

"Am I being too cowardly? can't inherit everything from his father, can't face those cruel pictures, can only be a coward, and this is Jiang Jiang's best fate, which can't be changed. ”

The tragic smile contained extreme pain, the death of his father hit him too hard, he couldn't stay in this place anymore, and went back with his mother and wife to spread the branches and leaves, and strengthen the lintel of his Jiang family.

"Brother Jiang."

"Brother Jiang."

Li Zhou and Yang Jiong made a move together, wanting to comfort him, looking at the smile of the salary cut, they felt very bad in their hearts, their father died, the only pillar of the family collapsed, leaving him alone to support the whole family, he had to be responsible for himself, responsible for the family, the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy, so oppressed that he couldn't breathe, he couldn't help but bow his head.

"Hehe, Brother Li, Brother Yang, don't persuade me, I've already decided, anyway, Brother Li, aren't you going to leave Chang'an? I'm going to Luling, Brother Yang, you're about to go out, the imperial examination is about to be held, this is a good opportunity, with Brother Yang, your strength, it's not difficult to win a good future, you all have your own future, and I, it's enough to voluntarily guard that one acre and three points of land. ”

"That's all."

The last sentence of the wage cut consumed all his strength, unable to sit there, his eyelids were so heavy that he only looked at the wine glass, sparkling, blue waves, and finally could not escape that fate - to be drunk.

Seeing that the decision to reduce wages had been decided, Li Zhou and Yang Jiong didn't know how to dissuade them, so they forcibly kept him, right? It's a little bad, let him go, right? It seems that some people can't help their hearts, what teenage men want is not to fight, not to break into all directions, but to go back to get married and have children, and strengthen the family, there is no unwillingness in this, they will definitely not believe it.

However, dissuading him at this moment is not what a friend should do, what a friend should do is to support him infinitely, no matter what he does, what gives him a firm look, a reliable shoulder, for him, this is the best gift.

"If Brother Jiang wants to think about Li in the future, you can come to Chang'an to visit Li, and Luling is also OK, Li's door will be open for Brother Jiang at any time."

"Yang too, Yang has nothing to say, as long as Brother Jiang writes a letter, Yang will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up."

Yang Jiong arched his hands, Li Zhou stood indifferently, the corners of his eyes were red, the red light was brewing, blurring his eyes, the blue waves were rippling, and he nodded affectionately, the man didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't get to the sad place.

"Thank you, brothers."

…………

The next day, Yang Jiong, Li Zhou and others came to the gate of Chang'an, the group stood there, staring at the carriage in front of them, Zhao Wanshuang, Ke'er, Cao Wanrong and others stood silently beside Li Zhou, with some sad eyes, looking at the salary cut in the carriage, constantly smiling at them, the smile was very reluctant, very sad, unable to hide the sadness in their eyes.

"Brother Li, Brother Yang, don't send it anymore."

Yang Jiong took a step forward and handed over a branch, with a few leaves on it, it is not difficult to see that this is a branch of a willow tree, handed it to the hand of the wage reduction, and said: "This farewell, I don't know what to say goodbye, I hope Brother Jiang will take care of it." ”

"Qilu three autumn farewell, Qinzhou is thousands of miles long. The smoke and haze are stationed on the cover, and the strings are playing to promote the flying.

The stepped trees contain a slanting sun, and the pond breeze is cool in the morning. The gift is not over, and the tears are sudden. ”

Yang Jiong chanted a poem, turned around and left, the back of the departure flashed a little tears, couldn't bear to let everyone see him in tears, walked back to Chang'an City, Li Zhou looked at his lonely figure, the tip of his nose was sour, and an inexplicable sense of parting arose, before he always thought that parting was just for the next encounter, and he would not be sad, but now, he only hesitated, sad, heartache, and reluctantly.

This time parting, I don't know when to see each other again, Chang'an only has a carriage, Qinzhou came to Chang'an, a trip is more than ten days, one back and forth, I don't know the years, and the time they see each other, it seems that there is even less, and it is impossible for him to go to Qinzhou casually, he is the prince, every word and deed is observed by the ministers, if you are not careful, you will be impeached in the book.

If you don't have time to come to Chang'an, then this parting is really a permanent parting, her expression darkened, she stepped forward and looked at the salary reduction, the salary reduction contained endless sadness in her eyes, Yang Jiong's return, Li Zhou's send-off, I really don't know when we will meet, maybe I will never see each other again.

"Brother Li."

"Brother Jiang, take care of yourself, remember to find Li if you have something, as long as it is within Li's ability, you will agree." Li Zhou suppressed the salary reduction, didn't let him speak, handed over a bag in his hand, couldn't catch the salary reduction with one hand, took it in with both hands, didn't think much about it, stared at Li Zhou affectionately, Li Zhou patted him on the shoulder, and said: "After many years, I don't know when we will see each other again, Brother Jiang take care." ”

Affectionate parting since ancient times. More Nakan. Snubbing the Qingqiu Festival. ”

After chanting two sentences, Li Zhou Xiaose left, dragged his wife's hand, and slowly walked into Chang'an City, his eyes were blurred by tears, and when Li Zhou and others disappeared completely, he walked into the carriage, the carriage was driving, and the group set off towards Qinzhou.

A few hours later, the carriage on the road, the people in the carriage, and the bag in the hands of the people were slowly opened, and the slender hands carefully opened it, Mrs. Jiang opened the bag in her hand, opened it, and saw that there were white flowers, which blinded her eyes, a pile of silver, at least a few hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount, all their silver combined, it is only this number, Li Zhou made a move, completely frightened them.

"Husband, ......?"

It's too precious to bear, a thought flashed in her heart, the old lady came over to take a look, took a deep breath, Rao is she is well-informed, and she was also frightened by Li Zhou's generosity, and hesitated to look at the salary cut: "Jiang'er, did His Highness take the wrong bag?" Shall we? ”

Go back, this is a hot potato, staring at the pile of silver, it is not a taste in my heart, it is fake not to be moved, this is a few hundred taels of silver, enough for him to stand firm in Qinzhou, there is no need to worry about the things in Qinzhou, waved his hand and said: "No need, mother, take it, since he sent it, we can't refute his kindness." ”

"This?" The old lady still hesitated, it wasn't that she didn't want the silver, she really didn't dare to ask for it, was the royal money so easy to take?

"Mother, madam, you don't have to worry, what Brother Li gave us, it will be fine, don't worry."

The salary cut accepted the silver indifferently, thinking that the opportunity to repay Li Zhou's favor in the future would be good, and the old lady and the two of them let go of their worries a little after hearing the words of the salary cut, bandaged up the silver, collected it well, and did not show their wealth in vain.

The carriage drove away, and inside the palace, another scene was played.
