twenty-three

Chu Liuxiang kept looking at Ye Changsheng's back as he ran away, and was relieved to see that he hadn't gone very far.

Shen Rushan looked at him with such a worried look and snorted coldly: "It's useless for you to look at it again, this kid's time is running out, at most it won't be more than a year." ”

Chu Liuxiang's hand trembled violently, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother Shen...... Is there any way to do it? He traveled thousands of miles to bring people here, in addition to inquiring about the news of Pingzhou, he still wanted to ask him to help Ye Changsheng take a look at his body. Although he doesn't know how to see a doctor, he is very good at reading faces, and maybe he can help think of a way.

"As I said, I won't answer any of your questions today." Shen Rushan said arrogantly, "Besides, when are you going to marry my daughter?" Qingqing, that girl looks forward to you every day. ”

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Qingqing is uncertain and loves to mess around, how can his words as a child be taken seriously?" What's more, I watched her grow up, and I really didn't have that mind. ”

Shen Rushan took the wine glass and snorted coldly: "Oh? Then why are you merciful to your little doll? ”

"Brother Shen, don't talk nonsense, I am just a brother and a brother to Changsheng, and I have no personal feelings." Chu Liuxiang's face was □□, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Shen Rushan sneered: "Hypocrisy." ”

Chu Liuxiang touched her nose helplessly: "Chu never lies about this kind of thing. ”

"Hmph, if you say that now, you may not be able to refer to it in the future!" Shen Rushan elegantly took a sip of plum blossom wine and mocked.

Knowing that this old friend has always been so cynical, Chu Liuxiang is also used to it, so he only picked up his wine glass and drank it all.

It's just that I'm a little confused in my heart. Shen Rushan has always had a strange ability to predict, could it be that he really saw something, and he would have a different mind about Changsheng in the future?

As soon as she had such a thought, Chu Liuxiang shook her head secretly. Mo said that he liked a woman with a warm fragrance of nephrite, even if it was a man, but how old was Changsheng?

With her own thoughts, Chu Liuxiang could only accompany this eccentric old man to drink, and leave the problem to be solved tomorrow.

On the other end, Ye Changsheng ran to the small garden not very far from the pavilion, holding a plate of peach blossom cakes and playing with himself.

He crouched on the ground and studied the flowers and plants, and then watched a group of fat ants fight with fascination.

Take a bite of the cake and look at it for a long time.

Take another bite and look again.

Just when the ants were fighting the most fiercely, a strange girl's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Hey! Who are you and why are you in my house? ”

Ye Changsheng was taken aback, and looked back with the cake in his mouth.

I saw a very good-looking little girl of at most sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a long aqua blue skirt, combing two sideburns, looking at him proudly, and a beautiful and round little face was full of vigilance.

"Y-Hello." Ye Changsheng stood up, didn't forget to take out the peach blossom cake in his mouth, and saluted uprightly.

When the little girl saw what he was holding, she thrust into her waist even more angrily: "Who are you, why do you eat the bread made by my father!" ”

Ye Changsheng looked down at the dim sum in his hand, "Your father?" Is your dad that really good guy? I came as a guest with Brother Chu, and he gave it to me. ”

The little girl looked at him suspiciously, "Of course my father is invincible in the world!" However, which Brother Chu brother are you talking about? ”

"It's Chu Liuxiang, he's famous." When it came to Chu Liuxiang, Ye Changsheng seemed to be honored, and couldn't help but praise, "He is talking to your father over there." ”

As soon as she heard Chu Liuxiang's name, the girl's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Really? Brother Chu is also here? I'm going to find him! "Then you have to run over.

Ye Changsheng grabbed her: "Hey, no, Brother Chu said that he wanted to talk to your father, and it was inconvenient for someone to come over." ”

"Why not? My dad loves me the most, what is there that I can't listen to! The little girl was not pleased, "I'm going to go!" She stomped her foot unconvinced.

Ye Changsheng looked down and hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't move, don't move!" My hussar general will be trampled to death by you! ”

"What?" The girl looked nervous when she saw him, and she was also startled, so she quickly looked down, but she didn't find any shadow of the "general" for a long time.

"Shhhhh Ye Changsheng squatted down again, raised his head and beckoned to her, "Come on." ”

Seeing his mysterious appearance, the girl squatted down in confusion, "Look, there's nothing here, just a swarm of ants." ”

"yes, these ants are fighting." Ye Changsheng took a bite of the cake and explained to her, "These ants are black, those are slightly lighter, they are two groups of people, and they made an appointment to fight here today." You see, this fattest and biggest is my hussar general, and he can fight three at a time! ”

"So what?" The girl's face was disgusted, "These black bugs are annoying." ”

"They're fighting for turf, and the winner will be able to decide before sunset today, and the winning side will kick out the losing side and leave them homeless."

"Huh? Really? But it's going to rain, and what if they don't have a home? The girl didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when she heard that the ants who lost were going to be driven away, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and she had always hated insects.

Ye Changsheng shook his head: "It's okay, they will go somewhere else to find a home again." Guess who of the two sides will win? ”

The girl held her small chin and looked at the ants on the ground seriously for a long time, "I think it must be the black ones that win, they are fat and big, and they are very powerful at first glance." ”

"But I think the gray ones will win." Ye Changsheng said, "The gray group will fight, and they are very united, they are all two to one. ”

Hearing him say this, the girl was upset: "I said that the black one wins the black one." ”

"Then we are divided into two factions, you are the black faction, I am the gray faction, let's see who will win, okay?" Ye Changsheng thought for a while and then mentioned.

"Hmph, it's better than that, then I must win!" The girl snorted proudly, and unconsciously brought into the role.

The two of them were children with tempers, squatting there side by side with their heads holding their breath to watch the two groups of ants on the ground fighting, Ye Changsheng ate cakes while watching, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of his new friend.

"My name is Ye Changsheng, what's your name?"

"You don't even know my name and dare to come to my house.!" The girl was angry for a while but introduced herself, "My name is Shen Qing, cyan Qing, you must not forget." She thought for a moment, and then continued: "However, your name is so ugly, and the soil bun is called Changsheng." She was disgusted again.

"But I like it so much." Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at her, "I've always been in poor health, and the doctors said that I won't live to be eighteen years old, so my mother said that this name can bring me good luck." He picked up a branch from the ground and wrote his name on another piece of clean, ant-free ground: "Look, this is my name, Changsheng Changsheng, it sounds good." ”

Shen Qing has long developed an arrogant and tricky temperament because of her father's extreme doting over the years, but in the end, she is still a kind and innocent girl, and when she heard Ye Changsheng say that she might not live long, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"What about you, are you afraid?" She asked softly.

"A little." Ye Changsheng nodded, "However, because I have been mentally prepared for a long time, it is actually not so terrifying." ”

"I'm just worried, my parents, and my brothers and sisters are sad." He took the branch and cut it next to the word "Changsheng" on the ground, and his tone was low.

Shen Qing didn't know how to comfort him, and he was silent.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Ye Changsheng suddenly raised his head and smiled at her: "It's okay, isn't there still three or two years, I can still live for a long time!" ”

Shen Qing looked at his eyebrows and eyes in a daze, smiling with crooked eyes, obviously feeling sad and trying to comfort himself, and suddenly blushed: "Know, know, don't look at me, you look so ugly!" ”

Ye Changsheng touched his face and was happy: "No, after looking at it for a long time, this face is actually quite good-looking." ”

"Where it's beautiful, it's all pockmarks!" Shen Qing said such words, but he still couldn't help but take a peek with his eyes from time to time.

"Don't be afraid, my dad is amazing, I will definitely find a way to let him help you!"

"Okay." Ye Changsheng laughed again, "You're still very good." ”

Shen Qing's face turned even redder, she looked down at the name he wrote, and couldn't help but say, "The words you write are really beautiful." ”

At the mention of this, Ye Changsheng was a little proud that he couldn't hold back: "Let me tell you, my calligraphy and paintings are famous in the capital, and the emperor and the queen can like it, I can sell a lot of silver for a word, and many people are lining up to buy it." ”

"Liar, you brag." Shen Qing actually believed it in his heart, but he still had to refute a few words.

Ye Changsheng patted his chest and promised: "It's true, if you come to the capital to find me in the future, I will take you to see it, it's really worth a lot of money!" ”

As soon as he heard about the capital, Shen Qing asked curiously, "Is the capital so far away?" Is it fun there? Where do you live? ”

Speaking of the capital, it was really something to talk about, Ye Changsheng gushed endlessly.

"My family lives in the north of the capital, sitting north and facing south, it is a very big house, and there are many people."

"I have two older brothers and two sisters, and they both love me very much. My eldest brother is a general of the dynasty, and he is so majestic that he can beat five strong men by himself! And he is especially good at fighting, in the northwest battalion, there are 300,000 troops who listen to him! ”

Shen Qing held his face and listened to him, and from time to time there were one or two exclamations in his mouth. She felt that she was really a frog at the bottom of the well compared to Changsheng, a lone horned rose, like a fool who didn't understand anything, and felt more and more that Changsheng was well-informed and well-read, and the little sprouts belonging to the girl gradually broke out quietly.

When Chu Liuxiang accompanied Shen Rushan to drink until the sunset and the moon rose in the western mountains, and came to find Changsheng with a body of alcohol, what he saw was the pair of young men in the moonlight.

The right age, the right character, the right looks, and they are all flower-like years.

Two people are talking by the flower bed under the moon, one is gentle and chuckling, the other is full of energy, it is really a beautiful painting, anyone who looks at it will admire a good pair of beautiful people.

However, Chu Liuxiang was not happy when she saw it.
