088 days
Zhang Qiyue turned her head and looked at the man she had deeply admired at the bow of the boat, standing at this moment, silver and white, calm as a stone, never giving in, such a he, even if he has not yet grown up, is already like a fairy fruit exuding bursts of fragrance.
It's a pity that such a man can't withstand the slightest ripple from her at this moment, whether she has become deserted, or the palace has killed her most enthusiastic back.
"Sister Yue." Wan Jing happily ran forward and grabbed Qi Yue's arm, looking at the beautiful scenery. The dock where people came and went, his eyes were full of surprise: "There are so many people, Sister Yue, I have never seen so many people, are they all here to participate in the cultural meeting?" ”
Zhang Qiyue bowed his head to Jiuyan, walked forward with Wan Jing, and his crisp voice sounded in the flowers on the beautiful mountain road: "Wenhui, also known as the Longmen Meeting, is a grand event in Yanjing, and of course there are many people coming. ”
After Jiu Yan came to power, the influence of the Longmen Society was even greater, and it almost became another shortcut for all the scribes to ascend to the branch, and she had only heard of it before, but she had not been here.
Jiu Yanluo hurriedly followed, standing behind Zhang Qiyue step by step.
Tang Zhi and Xuanyuan Jia ran the fastest, and they couldn't see their figures for a while.
Zhang Qiyue walked step by step, strolling among the green willow trees, the red shirt accidentally fell on the grass, breathing the quiet air, enjoying the unique scenery of the green mountains in spring: "Sure enough, it is wonderful, no wonder it has been in business for many years, and the boss is worthy of being the richest businessman in Yanjing." ”
Zhang Qiyue said, remembering the chubby figure back then.
Wan Jing didn't understand, just looking at so many people, childishly happy: "Sister Yue, you see the water pavilion in front, wow!" Today's water pavilion is actually flowing water, so beautiful. ”
Water Pavilion in the first stage of Qingshan, weekdays is a nine-meter-high man-made attic, sparkling jasper, reflecting the lake below the water flashing, if a fine art, fascinating, today, this boutique jade building outside the waterfall flows, such as looking at the moon in the air, beautiful and better.
Jiu Yanluo explained: "The Nine Pavilion reflects the moon, and it is only revealed on the day of the Wenhui, symbolizing the momentum of the fish leaping into the dragon gate and soaring into the sky, does Sister Yue want to go up and take a walk?" ”
Wan Jing nodded expectantly: "Okay, it looks so beautiful." ”
"The waterfall is more beautiful when viewed from a height of nine meters in the air."
Zhang Qiyue said with a smile: "You guys go, you have to climb the mountain in a while, I'll rest here for a while, Thirteen is optimistic about Jing'er, there are many people here, don't let her get separated." ”
Wan Jing's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this.
Jiu Yanluo looked at Sister Yue, not worrying that she and the servant would stay here: "I'll accompany my sister here, and let Grandpa Sun take Wan Jing up." ”
Wan Jing looked at Jiu Yanluo, the smile on her face decreased by one point, and she lowered her head and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Qi Yue held her hand and smiled at Jiu Yanluo: "Jing'er is willing to go and see, where do you come from so many words, it is your honor to be able to escort beautiful women, and you are still picky." Qi Yue stroked the falling flowers on Wan Jing's shoulders and said dotingly: "Take her with you, come back and tell me how beautiful it is." ”
Jiu Yanluo was reluctant to move, and looked up to say something, but seeing that Sister Yue seemed to be displeased, she hurriedly closed her mouth and motioned for Wan Jing to follow him on stage.
Wan Jing smiled happily at Sister Yue, lifted her dress slightly to prevent the skirt from staining the water on the steps, and walked happily behind Jiu Yanluo.
Zhang Qiyue looked at her and smiled slightly, but the smile was inexplicably disapproving, such Wan Jing is really not suitable for entering the palace, and I hope that Jiu Yanluo will take care of Wan Jing in the friendship of Chuhui Palace.
He found a smooth stone and put a fur on it: "Miss, come and sit, it will take a long time for them to come down." ”
Zhang Qiyue did not shirk, avoided the stone road where people came and went, and sat down, there are many people in the Nine Pavilion Reflecting the Moon Spring, and it is said that touching the water here can bring good luck, and every student who boarded the boat came here to take a turn whether they believed it or not, even if it was to see a scene.
Zhang Qiyue's gaze fell on the people coming and going, talking a little loudly about what was going on at the time; Some told interesting stories about the country's eunuchs; Some walk alone; Some call friends to accompany them, and the crowds are never interrupted, which shows that there are many people in the literary meeting.
It happened that there was a sudden ah, and it was immediately silenced.
Zhang Qiyue also saw it, it was Zhang Qiyang and a handsome scholar dressed as a man, it was Zhang Qiying, and Qimu was also there, he was arguing with Qiying about something, which made Qiying very unhappy, and walked ahead with a pout.
It happened that they waited for them to walk far before they looked at Miss.
Zhang Qiyue was indifferent, it was strange that they didn't come on this occasion, but it was impossible for Zhang Qiyang's literary talent to be a blockbuster in a place where all Confucians gathered, how old is he, if he can soar into the sky, it is inevitable that he will not take the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty in his eyes.
It's just that if he performs well, he is expected to be favored by Da Neng, and it is true that he is accepted as a disciple, and with his status as the concubine of the left minister, the future is limitless.
"Miss, aren't you afraid that they will say anything more? Miss Six's noble theory turmoil hasn't passed yet, Miss Six just came out like this, does Mrs. know what to do? There are so many people here, if something happens, Madame can't tell if she has a mouth. ”
"No problem." Zhang Qiyue just noticed that they were followed by guards, and this was Qingshan, and the most unfortunate thing was that the master would take care of them for the sake of their surname Zhang.
If there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, something happens on the lake, and a good thing is drowned, it will be unbearable, and who can stop the accident.
Zhang Qiyue was stunned suddenly, and Jiuyan fell on it? Zhang Qiyang also went up? They won't meet them, but looking at so many people around, it shouldn't be, even if they meet someone who knows whom.
Zhang Qiyue continued to hide in the shade and look at the people passing by, some of them she had an impression, one of the women she had definitely seen passing by, it was the prostitute beauty she had seen when she ran away with Qi Dian that time, she covered her face with purple gauze today, less charming, and soft like a lady.
There is also a woman who is a real lady, the daughter of the chief of the Guozijian and the daughter of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
These are the only three women she has seen, but she found that they are all celebrities, Zhang Qiyue admired the scenery, did these girls also participate in the Qingshan Cultural Association before? For what, Zhang Qiying appeared here to meet Zhang Qiyang or was it instructed by his father?
Zhang Qiyue immediately thought of countless possibilities, it shouldn't be easy for Zhang Qiying to appear here, if the daughters of these great writers are going to come here to show their talents, then Qiying must be instructed by her father, and it is difficult for her father to skip the daughter invited by his concubine wherever he goes.
If Qiying doesn't fight to catch a golden turtle for his old man, he can't stand his father's hard work.
Zhang Qiyue sat leisurely, her eyes were leisurely, her manners were elegant, the red dress fell on the green grass, the color was bright, her skin was like jade sitting in the dark still like the brightest bright moon, the beauty of the sea of flowers, absolutely beautiful and dust-free, when she admired the pedestrians coming and going, she didn't know that the best delicacy of looking down on the high platform was already her smile.
Jiu Yanluo climbed the attic, and before he had time to stand still, he found that it was extremely quiet, although there were many people, it was very orderly, some people stopped down frequently, and someone had already written a poem to praise something.
Jiu Yanluo ascended the stairs, Wan Jing followed behind him, his tired little face was flushed, and he gasped: "You, you slow down...... I'm tired ...... can't even walk: "I'm going to sit for a while......"
The jade pavilion is not a building, but a large artificially excavated open space, the sea of flowers, pavilions are countless, Wan Jing found a place, sit down and rest.
Jiu Yanluo did not follow the past, puzzled followed the crowd to look down, she did not have the incomparable prosperity of the spring moon and autumn flowers around her, but she smiled lightly, the world was silver, the clear eyes looked curiously at the pedestrians on the stone road, the gentleness of the national color and fragrance nourished her body bones, she was like a child who secretly peeked into the sky, thinking that no one had found it, dexterous and moving.
Those who pass by, how fortunate they are, are seen by it, through their minds, and those passers-by are so unfortunate, just a turn back, you can see the peerless beauty sitting alone in the bustling place, shocking people's hearts.
Jiu Yanluo suddenly felt his blood surging up, and he was furious! Like a gust of wind rushing towards the lower part of the mountain, he Yue sister can be watched casually!
Wan Jing hurriedly got up, wanting to shout but didn't know what to shout, so she could only drag her tired legs and follow closely.
Zhang Qimu was hit: "Run, run!" People can't come and go slowly! It hurts me to death. ”
"I'm sorry." Jiu Yanluo slowed down, but he didn't mean to stop: "Li Mo, whatever amount of silver you want, I'll pay for it." ”
When Zhang Qimu heard this, he suddenly grabbed him: "What are you talking about!" Master, I sent you that little silver. ”
Zhang Qiying hurriedly grabbed his brother's hand: "He may be in a hurry, forget it." ”
Jiu Yanluo instantly broke away from his arm and ran towards Lu without looking back.
Wan Jing was like a wisp of fragrant wind, and chased away: "Wait for me, wait for me." ”
Xiao Lizi took out ten taels of silver, his voice was as hoarse as grinding, just like the boy had just changed his voice, his attitude was respectful, and his tone was kind: "The three sons are really sorry, my young master didn't mean it, there was really an emergency, this son was injured?" Whether it's a doctor or compensation, we have no opinion. ”
Zhang Qimu's stomach was on fire, and his arm was shocked by that person, especially the one just now, which almost broke his arm: "Compensation!" Repay! Can you afford it? If my arm has three long and two short, you can't afford to lose your family! Don't you want to pay! Bring a hundred taels of gold! ”
Xiao Li Zi didn't say a word, he took out the silver from his chest, remembered that he was wearing a cardigan today, and hurriedly took out ten silver tickets from his sleeve, and was about to hand them over.
Zhang Qiyang took a step forward and said: "Let the little brother laugh, the younger brother is not sensible, there is a lot of offense, when no one is in a hurry, the younger brother has nothing to do, we don't care." ”
Xiao Lizi frowned slightly, and thought, you should still care, I lost the silver and left: "Where, it is my young master who is reckless, this is a thousand taels of silver, all when our young master is shocking the son." ”
Zhang Qimu suddenly grew his mouth when he heard this, one thousand taels of silver! Just give it! It's just a thousand taels if you hit it once, and if you hit it twice, it's not two thousand taels!
But he is not stupid, seeing that the other party is so happy to give out the money, he knows that the identity of Lu Dao is not simple, and he wants to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Zhang Qimu stopped talking and looked at the eldest brother.
Zhang Qiying looked at this person in surprise, one thousand taels, with him, so rich.
Xiao Lizi is actually very heartbroken, and it is very important to know that silver is very important, but it is precisely because of the suffering that some things are more important than silver.
Zhang Qiyang smiled gently and elegantly: "Misunderstanding, this is my brother, our surname is Zhang, maybe we still have a relationship with Young Master Ling's family, so we don't have to break the bank." ”
Xiao Li Zi said: "Zhang? That Zhang? ”
Zhang Qiyang heard that there was a play, it should be his father's old time: "Establish the morning chapter, Zhang Zuoxiang is the father." He said very vaguely, and did not mention whether he was a concubine or not, if the other party was really a servant of his father's friend, he would mention it to his master when he returned, and his father would naturally think of him.
Xiao Lizi sighed, it was Miss Zhang's brother-in-law, maybe it was still the pair of brothers and sisters that Master Zhang often talked about that Mrs. Zhang didn't like, so Xiao Lizi put away the silver ticket: "Since this Zhang Gongzi doesn't pursue, in the next generation of young master Xie Lu Xie Gongzi, I will say goodbye." ”
After speaking, he quickly chased after the master, and disappeared in the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Qimu and Zhang Qiyang looked at the person who suddenly disappeared in a daze, and they couldn't react for a long time.
Just gone? Don't ask who they are from the Zhang family? Don't you introduce your identity yourself, and you heard them report to the left and leave so lightly?
Zhang Qiyang's eyes fell on Qi Ying, although she was wearing men's clothes today, a discerning person could know that she was a woman at a glance, and Zhang Qiyue's character was famous, and Qi Ying didn't accept much, she was definitely beautiful and lovely, shouldn't that person think that they were from the main house!
With the sensation caused by Zhang Qiyue a few days ago, even if the other party is his father's political enemy, he shouldn't leave so ungreeted?
Zhang Qiying looked at the two eldest brothers puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Qimu said suddenly: "Maybe he is in a hurry, just now his young master ran very fast, and he chased a girl behind, probably because he was afraid that the young master would be caught up and pulled to sit in the village to suppress the father-in-law, hehe." ”
Zhang Qiyang didn't smile, that person's identity is very unusual, he just subconsciously took the silver ticket, there are only two kinds of people can, one is the long follow, only the long follower will wear the placket, and the other is the eunuch, the former is impossible, because this person is close to the master, so it may be used all the time.
Who can use eunuchs? is undoubtedly a noble person, he naturally wants to have a good fate, and his guess is very correct, the other party is indifferent when he hears their identity, but unfortunately, the other party seems to have something urgent, otherwise he can know a thing or two.
"Let's go, you pay attention, maybe you will offend someone who shouldn't be offended."
Zhang Qimu nodded with palpitations, the person just now was definitely not simple: "It hurts so much when he shook me off just now." ”
Zhang Qiyang said: "There are not many princes of his age, but they are all powerful people who are competing for that position now, you should be glad that he didn't abolish your arm." ”
Zhang Qimu took a deep breath: "It's so terrifying, then will my grievances today be cheap for Zhang Qidian." "If that kind of big man counts his today's 'not to blame' as a favor to Zhang Qidian, he will be very unlucky.
Zhang Qiyang couldn't say for sure, so he frowned and said, "Take a look, if there is fate, we will meet it later." ”
Zhang Qiying obediently followed between the two brothers, tilting his cute head, thinking about the anxious figure just now, would he really be as noble as the eldest brother thought?
Jiu Yanluo ran down from the Jade Pavilion, dragged Zhang Qiyue with a black face and left.
Zhang Qiyue didn't know why: "Hey, my silk handkerchief." ”
Wanting hurriedly picked it up and followed.
"What are you doing, Wan Jing? Why did you come down on your own, what happened, and your face was so ugly? ”
Jiu Yanluo didn't answer, and pulled her away.
Zhang Qiyue could only hurriedly follow, and did not stop until he walked far away, far away from the position of the Jade Nine Pavilion.
Zhang Qiyue was a little displeased, but because of the other party's identity, she didn't say anything: "What about Wan Jing?" How did you get down on your own? Saying that, he rubbed his wrist that was being grabbed red, and hurriedly moved, his strength was really big, just like a brute bull, Jiuyanluo's friendship was really not easy to earn, and he was ignored at every turn.
Jiu Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled her arm, feeling guilty: "Does it hurt? ”
Zhang Qiyue wanted to say, if you let go, it won't hurt, do you want to add another trace to her with so much strength!
Zhang Qiyue just thought about it, and thought of his mother with a kind expression: "It's okay, don't worry, what about Wan Jing?" ”
"She ......" Jiu Yanluo hurriedly looked back, not knowing what to say, but he didn't dare to say: "That, I'll go find ......"
Before Jiu Yanluo finished speaking, Wan Jing couldn't breathe and ran from a distance: "Yue...... Sister Yue...... Your Highness...... Run...... Running too fast. After finishing speaking, she sat paralyzed on the grass on the side, tired to death, and didn't want to leave, even if Jiu Yanluo ran again, she wouldn't chase it, she was too tired.
Zhang Qiyue looked at her red cheeks and the tired girl beside her, and hurriedly asked Wan Jing to drink water, and helped her to a clean place to rest: "What are you running, he runs his, you walk slowly, look at you're tired." ”
After speaking, Zhang Qiyue looked at Jiu Yanluo in confusion: "What are you running, who can't chase you!" Wan Jing is a girl, how dangerous it is for you to throw her in the crowd. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat for Wan Jing.
Wan Jing leaned on Qi Yue's shoulder, she didn't want to move, she had never run such a long way since she was a child, she couldn't breathe, she was so tired.
Jiu Yanluo's gaze fell on Qi Yue, he didn't look at Wan Jing, thinking that everyone in the pavilion was looking at her, he was very angry! What qualifications do those people have to judge Sister Yue and write poems, so they are not worthy of making poems for Sister Yue.
Above the Nine Pavilions, the three brothers and sisters of Zhang Qiyang also glared at them.
Groups of people were sighing regretfully: "It's a pity that I was taken away." ”
"Elegant and tactful, leisurely, look at it again, you can also make a masterpiece."
Someone discovered Zhang Qiyang, and the relationship between him and Zhang Qiyang in Guozijian is acceptable, one is a concubine and the other is the son of Pingming, and the two have a good relationship.
He wore a non-noble dress and walked regretfully: "Brother Zhang, you have come and gone, take a step faster, and ensure that you can see the fairy scene." ”
Zhang Qiying's eyes widened curiously, her long eyelashes covered her eyes, and she scratched people's hearts with a flash: "What fairyland?" Is it good-looking? ”
Baixi Xiangxue looked at her in surprise, if he hadn't been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the girl just now, he must have thought that the woman in front of him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Baixi Xiangxue hurriedly looked away, and looked at it incivilly: "Go back to ...... Back to the girl, no, it's nothing ......" In front of the girls, Baixi Xiangxue restrained the man's newly formed hobby of talking about beautiful women.
Zhang Qiying saw that the other party said that she was a girl at a glance, and immediately blushed and pushed behind the eldest brother.
Zhang Qiyang smiled bitterly, the little sister herself is beautiful, it is difficult to hide her elegance, she didn't intend to hide anything when she was dressed in men's clothes, it just made it easier for her to walk: "Qiying, this is a friend of the eldest brother, Baixi Xiangxue." ”
Baixi greeted Xuewen respectfully with the other party.
Zhang Qiying returned the salute slightly, even if he had said hello, he hid behind the eldest brother with a red face and did not come out.
Baixi Xiangxue has an average background, but there is a way to enter the Guozijian no matter how general it is, his sister married a member of the court as the side wife, it was his sister who begged the wife, Baixi Xiangxue had a chance to take the Guozijian exam, and he didn't expect to be admitted.
But his identity is really unbearable, worse than Zhang Qiyang, Zhang Qiyang took the initiative to play with him has already lowered his status, so Baixi Xiangxue didn't dare to be rude to Zhang Qiying, and he didn't dare to look at the other party.
Zhang Qiyang dared to ask with interest: "What fairy scene?" ”
Baixi Xiangxue didn't hide it, everyone was talking about it and couldn't hide it: "Just now I looked down from the pavilion, there was a woman sitting below, her demeanor was like the wind, ethereal like a fairy, many people were shocked and hurriedly wrote a poem to show praise, those who couldn't write poetry and literary style, said that the girl stayed too short and spoke a little disrespectful." ”
Zhang Qiyang's jaw is headed.
Zhang Qiying said more curiously: "Is it really beautiful?" How beautiful is it? She was very curious.
Zhang Qimu said: "You girls are always interested in those unwarranted things, how beautiful they can be, it's just a literary meeting, an excuse for those literati to write poems with inscriptions, if you sit down, people here are even more thoughtful." ”
Zhang Qiying glared at the second brother with disgust: "Just talk nonsense." ”
Baixi shook his head solemnly when he heard this: "I saw it, it's really beautiful." "He is true that the girl is very beautiful, but compared to that girl, it seems that she is not beautiful.
Zhang Qiyang's expression moved slightly, so that the other party could praise the beautiful after seeing the little sister, there are not many people in Yanjing, could it be that Zhang Qiyue came out? It is impossible that Zhang Qiyue has already made a marriage, and she will not come out to see it today.
Even if she really comes out to be a generation of writers, she won't sit down alone, maybe he thinks too much, there are a lot of women here today, maybe some are not worse than Zhang Qiyue.
"What does Brother Zhang think?"
"Nothing."
Baixi Xiang Xue said: "Let's touch the Divine Spring and go to Liutaitian, the Wenhui is about to enter, and the later we go, the more impossible it is to enter." ”
In order to limit the number of people, a simple question is set up for the entrance to the Wenhui, but each answer cannot be the same as the previous one, so the later you go, the more you suffer, and sometimes even if you are the first, you will be blocked by the questions that have already been answered.
Wan Jing slowed down for a long time before she helped Sister Yue's hand up.
Jiu Yanluo was not embarrassed at all, but just signaled to Jinxiu to help Wan Jing, so as not to pressure Wan Jing to his sister Yue.
Qingshan has a total of nine heavens, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, higher and higher, consumption is more and more expensive, the nine pavilions reflect the moon on the first day, it is one of the most worthless scenery in Qingshan.
Each day is quite a level, and the second day is 'full of flowers', which is a must-go place to enjoy spring;
The third day is 'Horse Stepping on Qianbi', which is also a place where Qi Yue and Tang Zhi often go, a good place to bet on horses.
As soon as Zhang Qiyue landed on the third stage, Tang Zhi and Xuanyuan Jia followed dejectedly: "It's closed." ”
Zhang Qiyue was not surprised: "Today is the Wenhui Day, it must be closed here, if it is the Wuhui Day, the Wentai on the sixth floor will also be closed." You wait for the day of the martial arts meeting to come back, hehe. ”
"You're still laughing, I'm almost rusty."
"Rust in such a large space? You'll go on a boat. ”
Tang Zhi suddenly had nothing to say, it was better to be here than to be stuffed on the boat.
The fourth day is 'prosperity and peace'.
Today, barriers have been erected, and with the exception of a short stretch of road that allows pedestrians to walk up the hill, many places are full of people blocking the area and not allowing idlers to enter.
Wan Jing never came up.
Xuanyuan Jia didn't either, neither did Zhang Qiyue, she walked to the horse farm every time, which didn't belong to their pastime, and it was said to be very expensive, ridiculously expensive.
"What is here?" Wan Jing pointed to the words 'prosperous and peaceful', unable to understand what this floor was, and why there were so many people watching.
Zhang Qiyue also looked at Jiu Yanluo suspiciously.
Jiu Yanluo had never been here, how did he know Lu Dao, and then looked at Xiao Lizi.
Generally, personal eunuchs are omnipotent.
Xiao Lizi didn't know the Dao, which was beyond the scope of what he wanted to know.
Tang Zhi said, but he was only embarrassed for a moment and said: "Fireworks Holy Land, there are all kinds of beauties that you can't imagine here, and they are much more expensive than those pretentious Oiran in Yanjing City."
It is said that the Oiran of Yanjing came here, at most to be a girl for the girls here, and the people who received it here are also extraordinary, all of whom are capable of moving the clouds and rain.
You don't have to think about it, I will never let you in, I still sneaked in at the time, but, hehe, I was caught halfway, today's situation, it is impossible for you to sneak in! ”
"Who's going in! The land of fireworks, how could we want to go in, only people with dirty ideas like you would come to this kind of place, hum! ”
Tang Zhi didn't take Wan Jing's words at ease, what happened to going in and out of the land of fireworks, and he didn't do anything, and he didn't have a lady, can he manage it.
"Let's go." Zhang Qiyue felt that it was not good for so many girls to stand here after all, so it was better to go up first. A girl's reputation is always more important than curiosity, and no one is curious about it.
Zhang Qiyue and the others had no intention of staying, followed the crowd, walked towards the Lu, and when several people were about to reach the fifth platform, Zhang Qiyue suddenly turned around and saw a familiar figure entering the 'prosperous world of peace' under the support of everyone.
Zhang Qiyue suddenly frowned: Rui Fengye! He's here to meet people today, too?
Tang Zhi had already started to chirp, looking down from above, the pomp and circumstance when Rui Fengye entered was clearer, and it was definitely not wrong that it was Brother Rui: "Wow! Amazing! It's Rego! The access control or something is all false! When will I get to the point where I get to the point of Riggo. ”
Xuanyuan Jia suddenly looked at Zhang Qiyue: "What is he doing there!" Didn't he sell Wei Chi's explanation, he was distressed? ”
Was Wei Chi Jieyu sold? Zhang Qiyue couldn't figure it out at all, how could it be?
------Off topic------
Today is the last day of the month, everyone rummages through their pockets to see if there is a monthly pass, and if there is one, one will be rewarded, and if not, forget it. Not this month, just reward at the beginning of the month (blush and run away)
That, there are two late
