Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 14 Farewell to the Long Pavilion
The wind in the mountains was very light, surrounded by the chirping of starry frogs, Chen Ziye stood by the pool, letting the clear water from the fish beat the hem of his clothes.
The folding fan in his hand opened unconsciously, fanning the cicadas.
Lu Yunlu's arrival was something he didn't expect, and he originally thought that he could take this opportunity to add some chips to that person, but the arrival of the young master of the Lu family with the holy decree really disrupted everything. If Chu Yi could be let go directly that day and not drag on for so many days, then there might still be a chance for everything, but now, it is a foregone conclusion, and the two families are fighting, it is better for Lu Hou to enter the palace and get the will.
Chen Ziye was very angry and wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, this feeling was like leaving that person a few years ago.
"Is it just to wait for his arrival for so many days?"
Chu Yi didn't speak, looking at Chen Ziye quietly without any expression. It may be that you don't bother to answer, or you may not know how to answer. This matter is indeed his fault, the original agreement with that person was to let Chen Ziye take it back, even if it was the team that picked up the Kamata family, but the sudden arrival of the holy decree really overwhelmed this martial arts sword venerable.
If you insist on letting Chen Ziye take him away, it is a protest and not to give the emperor face, then what Li Xiao is facing in Beijing is not only that side, but also the anger from the emperor, weighing left and right, can only let Li Xiao follow the people of the Lu family.
"Your Excellency, you can know that Yu Gong's status in Beijing has deteriorated, and now if it weren't for His Majesty's old feelings, Yu Gong is afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Beijing." Seeing that Chu Yi didn't speak, Chen Ziye sighed and turned to leave, "What your lord is doing now really makes Yu Gong's heart cold. ”
Looking at Chen Ziye's back, Chu Yi thought of the person in Jingshi, once upon a time, that person was so similar to the person in front of him, scholarly and literary, but now, he is caught in a conspiracy, maybe this time the plan can add some political chips to that person, maybe this time it can really overturn the case for the things of the year, maybe it ...... Everything is unknown, everything has been set, everything is irretrievable.
"Alas. Everything can only look at Xiao'er. Chu Yi looked at the north, sighed, and walked to the study with his hands in his hands.
The breeze blowing in the mountains ruffled some messy sideburns, and the traces of time made the man look a little rickety.
…………
Li Xiao didn't pack up much, just a few clothes and a few old books, so he cleaned up quickly, but the little maid on the side kept wiping her eyes when she helped.
He couldn't stand the girl's crying the most, so he had to stop what he was doing, pulled the little maid to sit down, and explained in a serious voice that he was only going for a few days this time and would be back soon, but how did he know that creatures made of water were so easy to stop?
In desperation, I could only take out the poems that were originally performed at the banquet, put them in the box, and said, this is a surprise prepared by the young master, as long as you don't cry, I will give it to you, and only give it to you.
Finally, the little maid stopped her tears, took the rough wooden box in Li Xiao's hand suspiciously, carefully carried it in her arms, hid aside and began to fantasize about what kind of strange story the young master wrote, the most important thing is that the young master only gave it to himself, so it seems that he is still the young master's favorite.
The little girl who had no experience in the world was quickly coaxed, and Li Xiao looked at the little girl who was secretly happy on the side, and suddenly felt that she was condescending if she didn't take the kindergarten teacher certificate.
After packing his luggage, he will leave, and the emperor's personal decree is naturally not good to delay.
This is the first time Li Xiao has gone far since he came to this world, and it is also the first time to go out to see the great rivers and mountains of this world. He couldn't help but feel an unconcealable excitement, but when he thought that he would not see his sister for a long time, he had a sense of nostalgia that was difficult to let go.
As for Lu Yunlu, after he identified himself, he was surrounded by a group of officials, and then under the leadership of the officials, he walked around Suzhou City, enjoyed a lot of scenery, and unreasonably changed Chen Ziye's horse in the stable of Chu Mansion, and finally led the cavalry to wait for Li Xiao's arrival outside the city.
This day should be the most beautiful day since Lu Yunlu was born, the joy on his face can not be suppressed at all, as the sun spreads everywhere, this day is also his most rewarding day, the red envelopes given to him by a group of officials are directly stuffed with money bags, and some even roll at will on the carriage, of course, the horseman who has been busy for more than ten days has also gained a lot of money.
The two of them smiled, it seemed that they had forgotten the fatigue when they came.
————
The long pavilion outside the city, Chu Xin'er arrived here early, as the young master of the Chu Mansion, he naturally had to say goodbye to the maids in the mansion and the uncles and mothers-in-law in the city who watched Li Xiao grow up.
From a distance, Chu Xin'er in the long pavilion was as graceful as a young girl by the Seine Lake, gentle and dignified, sitting quietly, and the sea breeze gently blew through the waving hair, which added a kind of fairy spirit.
It's just that at this time, she leaned against the stone table in the pavilion with one slender hand on her cheek, and looked at the river flowing in front of her with a pair of beautiful eyes, not knowing what to think.
The maid standing next to her looked at the young lady's godless expression, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, since the day the letter from the master came from Jingshi, the young lady would be so godless from time to time, and when Chen Ziye came, the situation was even more serious, they knew that the young lady would be like this because the young master was leaving, and this kind of thing could not be done as a maid who wanted to share it for the master.
Time passed minute by minute, Li Xiao had not yet appeared, and Lu Yunlu, who was originally excited, was also annoyed by the long wait at this time, and complained from time to time about why Li Xiao was so slow.
But Chu Xin'er hoped that her younger brother would not appear, and hoped that this moment could stay forever.
There is no such thing as time standing still, when the sky is a little dark, Li Xiao appeared in everyone's sight, the package behind him is not large, and there is no one to follow, beckoning to Chu Xin'er from a distance, and trotting into the long pavilion alone.
"Sister, the uncle in the city is a little reluctant, and it took some time."
Looking at Li Xiao, who was a little panting, Chu Xin'er couldn't help but worry again, and stretched out her slender hand to sort out the messy hair on her younger brother's head a little, "Xiao'er, this is going to Beijing, the road is far away, you have to take care of yourself, your sister is not around, don't be bitter about yourself." ”
"If the money is not enough, tell my sister, and my sister will send it to you."
"Sister." Looking at the sister in front of him, for some reason, Li Xiao was suddenly a little reluctant to leave, and he was looking forward to the day of leaving, but when it came to this day, he was reluctant. "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of myself, I will come back as soon as the matter is done, my sister also needs to take care of herself at home, and remember to drink the medicinal food prepared."
Chu Xin'er sorted out Li Xiao's somewhat wrinkled collar and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry about this, it's you, if you have some difficulties in Beijing, just go home, although there is nothing you can do in Beijing, but in Jiangnan Province, Sister can still keep you safe." ”
Listening to Chu Xin'er's words, Li Xiao's nose couldn't help but be sore, and her eyes were a little moist, she grew up with her sister since she was a child, how could she not know that the sister in front of her was just laughing at the moment, from childhood to adulthood, her sister was thinking about herself, she was leaving, and her sister was reluctant to show her worries, in order to let herself go with peace of mind, and she didn't have to worry about her family, but how could this be possible.
Turning around, with the package on his back, he walked towards Lu Yunlu step by step, not wanting Chu Xin'er to see the changes on his face, "Sister, I'm leaving." ”
"Come back early." Chu Xin'er said hoarsely towards Li Xiao, who was a little far away.
The sea breeze was blowing freely, wandering among the mountains, the leaves on the trees rustling in the wind, and the seagulls in the distance were also hovering on the seashore in the wind. Chu Xin'er's voice was very soft and soft, caught in the wind, lingering in Li Xiao's ears, and could not be dispersed for a long time. The sun on the horizon stretched Li Xiao's shadow very long and thin, and the white tidbits floating from the reeds next to the long pavilion drifted around with the wind.
Li Xiao walked to the front of the convoy, stopped for a long time, didn't know what to think, Lu Yunlu looked at the young man in front of him with his head down, wondering if this guy wanted to resist the decree and was about to speak, when suddenly Li Xiao turned around, towards the mansion at the end of Suzhou City, knelt down suddenly, kowtowed, did not move for a long time, and let the scattered tidbits fall on him.
The sunset is red, and the cicadas in the mountains are a little lighter, but the wind blowing from the sea is still there. Standing up, Li Xiao didn't see tears on his face, waved his hand at Chu Xin'er, and said in a somewhat naughty tone, "It's getting dark, sister, go back early, don't catch a cold." ”
Chu Xin'er waved her hand lightly, but did not move her footsteps, until Li Xiao got into the carriage and the black shadow of the Lu family's convoy disappeared on the winding official road before leaning tiredly on the pillar of the long pavilion. The maid on the side looked at the young lady, and was busy going over to help, "Miss, it's dark, are you going home?" ”
"The green mountains are separated, the sparse forest is not beautiful, and the light smoke and twilight cover each other. No one is silent on the ancient road of the sunset, and the autumn wind listens to the neighing of horses. Why am I so lazy to get in the car, why am I in a hurry, and why am I too late to go? Chu Xin'er sat on the stone bench with the support of the maid, and read in a hoarse voice. This is the word that Li Xiao wrote on paper in the study a few days ago, and she saw it unexpectedly at that time, as if she was aware of this day, and remembered this word firmly. Now this situation and this scene can't help but read it. Just a few crosses, with white tidbits, drifted into the distance.
In the backyard of Chu Mansion, there is silence in the cave mansion at this moment. A tidbit floated here from outside the city, landed on the small pond, and disappeared as the fish fluttered.
Inside the room, Chu Yi, who was originally sitting quietly, looked at the broken sword on the table and was silent for a long time.
Rome on the side was the same, the tea in his hand was already cold, but he seemed to be stunned and didn't move.
"You say, Xiao'er, can you come back?"
The sentence was not answered, and it just dissipated with the wind.
The cicadas stopped neighing, the tidbits stopped fluttering, the sea breeze stopped howling, and everything was peaceful, except for the chariots and horses moving towards the north step by step.
