Chapter 67: Long Song: The Emperor is Ruthless
The time of departure is set in March of the following year, it is the twilight of spring, the flowers in the early spring have been gone, the green apricots have not yet been formed, the smoke willows of the city have become, if it has been drizzling in the early morning, there is the feeling of smoke willows full of the imperial capital.
Jiangli is very dissatisfied with this day, in her opinion, Meng Yan has not returned to Beijing for several years, and she should rest in the capital for a while, not to mention a year and a half, and wait until the middle of winter to meet her again, and drink a bunch of tea made in snow water, so that it can be regarded as a complete year.
"I'm afraid that someone will abandon their righteousness and kill their friends and wives." Meng Yan said with a smile, she lived with Jiang Li during this time, and Shu Caijun got up early every day and squatted at the door, looking like a resentful woman.
"Exactly." Shu Caijun took the hand that was leaving, and drove Meng Yan and Ji Yu away with joy, "Let's go." ”
"You go away." Leaving the annoyance, she walked to the side of the fierce horse and handed the purse she had prepared early in the morning to Meng Yan, "There are some snacks you like to eat in it, eat them on the way." ”
Meng Yan took the purse, not in a hurry to see the food inside, but looked at the embroidered things on the purse, "You did it." ”
"I learned it from Li'er." Jiang Li blushed, "The first time I did it." ”
So I couldn't see what it was at all, Meng Yan said silently, they all said that no one is perfect, and they will be separated from music theory, and the female celebrity will not know anything. Seeing Shu Caijun's face of envy, jealousy and hatred, she directly put her purse into her arms and said with a sincere expression, "It's beautiful." ”
"I don't know how things I make by myself are beautiful and ugly." Jiang Li said angrily, "It's sweet in your mouth." ”
"Just one sweet for you." Meng Yan said.
“……”
The vinegar jar over there has been knocked over. Ji Yu adjusted the reins in his hand, completely ignoring why Meng Yan always had to be like this, in just two months, Shu Caijun had knocked over the vinegar jar hundreds of times, and he was a little daughter-in-law.
"Okay, okay, let's go." Shu Caijun finally couldn't help it, it was okay to show affection in front of him at his home every day, and when he left, he still wanted you to be affectionate with me, did he really think he was dead?
Wrapping his arms around the waist of his beautiful girl, Shu Caijun slapped the buttocks of the fierce horse, heard the neighing of the fierce horse, and ran to the official road with Meng Yan, and disappeared with only one turn.
Seeing that the person he was going to follow was gone, Ji Yu hurriedly rushed to bundle up the talented man and the general to confess, and rode a horse to catch up with Meng Yan.
Finally gone. Shu Caijun let out a long sigh, pulled the reluctant Jiang Li and said, "I'm going home." ”
"She really doesn't want to tell us anything." Jiang Li followed behind Shu Caijun and talked about these days, "I have such a good relationship with Meng Yan, I almost have to fall asleep, every time I am intercepted by you, once or twice, every time it's like this, you don't doubt it?" ”
"What else could there be." Shu Caijun clenched his hand, "She has been in the frontier for three years, three years, how many battles have she fought, even if she is an invincible killing god, she has scars on her body that cannot be cured." ”
"Meng Yan is just afraid that you will be sad to watch." Shu Caijun comforted and left, and he was sentimental by nature, and he would cry when he saw it.
"Just because she hides it from me like this, the more I want to watch it." Jiang Li stopped and looked at Shu Caijun with tears, "I saw it that time, Meng Yan stayed in the room, holding the ointment to dye her hair black little by little. ”
"Her hair was all white, like an old man hanging down." Will leave the cry silently, "Why didn't she sue me." "The suffering you have suffered in the frontier, the bitterness in your heart, I am obviously your best friend.
"Don't cry." Shu Caijun hugged and left, so he said that Meng Yan didn't want you to see it, and they all cried into tears.
**
Maybe it's because the time is not right, there aren't many pedestrians on the official road. Ji Yu saw that the horse under Meng Yan slowed down, followed and walked side by side with Meng Yan, hesitated for a while and said, "What does the frontier look like now?" ”
"In winter, the peach blossoms on the river won't bloom until June." Meng Yan looked at Ji Yu, "But we won't go to the frontier." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go down to the south of the Yangtze River first, isn't there a poet who said that fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March." Meng Yan said, there is another Tao, with 100,000 yuan wrapped around his waist, riding a crane down to Yangzhou. If you want to go to Yangzhou, you need to have money.
"How much money do you have?" Meng Yan suddenly asked about Ji Yu's property status.
"I ......" was caught off guard by Meng Yan's question, and Ji Yu blurted out directly, "Three hundred taels of silver." ”
"It's poor." Meng Yan scoffed, this money was only enough for one night in Yangzhou, and it was a night without an oiran.
I saved up for three years. Ji Yu said silently in his heart, the master is not necessarily more than herself, why does your aunt dislike herself so much.
"Don't learn this from your master." Meng Yan said with pride, but stretched out her hand, "Why are children taking so much money, give it to me." ”
Auntie, your words and deeds are inconsistent. Ji Yu was silent for a while, and obediently handed over the silver ticket to Meng Yan, he thought that Meng Yan would return the money to him when it arrived in Yangzhou, but it turned out that there was no such thing at all.
It's just that Ji Yu doesn't know now, he followed Meng Yan to Yangzhou, and he was still sleeping in the open air, and because he didn't find a town to rest at night, Meng Yan and Ji Yu lived outside.
The place was picked by Meng Yan, upstream by the water, there is an old pine tree on the shore, evergreen all year round, Meng Yan dismounted here, threw the reins to Ji Yu, leaned on the tree, hugged his hand and said, "Make a fire to cook." ”
"Auntie." Ji Yu led the unruly horse, and finally tied it up, panting and asking Meng Yan, "Can you go and fetch water." ”
"This water is spring water, you go up and get it." Meng Yan didn't raise her eyes, just leaned there and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, as if Ji Yu had become her servant.
In line with the principle of respecting the elderly, Ji Yu swallowed this breath, went to the end of the upstream to fetch spring water, and came back to see Meng Yan motionless, so he had to swallow his anger and collect firewood by himself and make a fire there.
After the bonfire was raised, Meng Yan opened her eyes, tilted her head and asked Ji Yu, "Is it running on the ground or swimming in the water?" ”
"Swim in the water." Ji Yu understood what Meng Yan meant, she was asking herself what she wanted to eat, it was so late, I was afraid that the prey would be difficult to catch, but the fish in the water couldn't run far.
Meng Yan got up and drew her sword and walked into the distance, her figure stopped on the shore in the moonlight, the sword light became her best barrier, the cold light flashed, dangerous enough, and moving enough.
Not long after Meng Yan's sword had two more fat fish, she cleaned up the belly of the fish, and grilled the fish around the bonfire with Ji Yu, Meng Yan's expression was extremely serious, and every time she passed a stage, she sprinkled seasoning on the fish, Ji Yu was not so serious, he looked at Meng Yan from time to time with the grilled fish, and finally Meng Yan asked him impatiently.
"Do I have a flower on my face?"
"Nope." Ji Yu turned over the grilled fish in his hand, and said after half a sound, "Auntie, your sideburns are wet and wet." "The roots of the hair were dirty, and a small piece of gray hair was exposed.
"Don't tell your sister about this." Meng Yan squatted on the ground holding the grilled fish, "Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by her when I go back." ”
"Okay." Ji Yu agreed, and asked again, "In that case, can the three hundred taels of silver be ......?"
"Let's talk about it when we get to Yangzhou." Meng Yan blocked Ji Yu's rest of Ji Yu's words in one sentence, and when she saw that the fish was almost grilled, she took it over and ate it.
Give me back. Ji Yu was depressed and flipped the grilled fish, he always felt that the silver had gone and never returned.
Later, when I went to Yangzhou, it was really like this, Meng Yan and Ji Yu ran around outside for more than half a month, and hurried to Yangzhou, the first thing was to find an inn to wash, and Meng Yan, who had changed clothes, pulled Ji Yu out, it was already twilight, the sky was half bright and half bright, the lanterns were lit in the market, and there were no fewer pedestrians, still like weaving, and Yangzhou in this twilight was fried like day.
Ji Yu followed behind Meng Yan, all the way to see the style of the market, and finally swayed to the lake, and saw several painting boats floating in the lake, and saw the pedestrians on the shore closely, only put down the curtain, and lifted half of the curtain, wanting to say goodbye.
When Ji Yu saw the women in the painting boat with heavy makeup, he knew that they were dusty women, and when he saw Meng Yan's strict eyes, he naturally remembered what had happened before, and his heart was angry, "You go to the Qinglou again." ”
"I'll get down to business." Meng Yan picked a painting boat, beckoned to the person who shook the pulp, and said to Ji Yu, "By the way, I will take you to see the world." ”
"What are you doing, is it possible that the woman here is also good for you." Ji Yu laughed angrily.
"Sort of, it was divided later." Meng Yan looked like a playboy, "I didn't show mercy everywhere before I joined the army, but then I made her unhappy, and I almost didn't scratch my face with a hairpin." ”
As he was talking, the painting boat leaned over to the shore, and a person came out of it, tall, wearing bright red clothes, with a delicate Du Dan pinned to his head, it was the moment of bloom, she saw Meng Yan standing on the shore, and raised her thin eyebrows, "Who is this, dare to love the enemy who knows that the prodigal son has turned back." ”
"You remember me." Meng Yan lost her usual domineering.
"Why don't you remember, the deceitful and deceitful enemy." She pulled Meng Yan down, and when she saw that Ji Yu and Meng Yan were in a group, she ordered the maid to take Ji Yu to another painting boat, and she and Meng Yan entered the cabin alone.
Here Ji Yu wanted to see Meng Yan, but he was taken to another boat, and a group of warblers and Yanyan rushed up together, surrounding Ji Yu and his hands, so that Ji Yu didn't have the heart to find Meng Yan again, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the people in front of him.
Ji Yu was woken up by the coldness on his face, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the woman was pouring water on his face with a wine jug last night, and when he saw Ji Yu waking up, she held her cheeks and smiled, "When you wake up, go move bricks." ”
