After that day, there were a few more times in the Imperial Privy Council. Each time, a lot of problems accumulated in the past few years have been solved, and every time Su You is waiting for Wen Lan to bring the matter of the southern expedition to the table.

But Wen Lan didn't even mention a word.

Su You had made up his mind to delay the southern expedition, and if Wen Lan didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. But what exactly is Wen Lan's idea in her heart? He couldn't guess either.

For three consecutive days in the Imperial Privy Council, the five elders and Su You were deeply tired, so they discussed and took a day off tomorrow.

Su You left the Palkhan Palace that night and returned to the "Ye Mansion". Although the palace was splendid, he couldn't get used to it. It's Ye Mansion, which can make him calm down a lot.

Wen Wen saw Su You go out of the palace, and ordered the three of the He family to serve well, and he took Steward Lin and the leaders of the three clans back to Zhongcheng, where there was naturally their mansion.

Wen Lan stayed in Xiacheng, although he did not live in the palace, he had his witch temple near the palace, and from the tall buildings there, looking down, everything in the "Ye Mansion" was in full view.

Su You had never escaped his sight.

From the time when Su You was born in Sha Keye, to the vast Wan Hua and the Taiye of the blue sea, there was not a moment when he was not under the gaze of Wen Lan.

Su You didn't know this before, but now that he knows, he must be disgusted in his heart. Wen Lan didn't want to discuss the matter of the Southern Expedition under such a hairy relationship. So, he's going to take a detour......

Early the next morning, Su You finished breakfast and made a pot of tea, planning to take a good look at "Yun Ce" in front of the window. Herin suddenly came in and said, "Lord of the country, the great witch god has something to ask to see." ”

Su You frowned unconsciously.

"Ask him to come in."

"He said that he also asked the lord of the country to move, and he waited in Zhenzhuyuan."

This Wen Lan, I don't know what the hell is going on.

Su You sighed, so he had to put away "Yun Ce" and follow Herin out of the "Ye Mansion"

Zhenzhuyuan is not far away, and there is a path from the back door of Yefu that can be passed directly.

Su You was accustomed to the cold "sunshine" underground, he looked at the shadows of the trees on the road, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the green shade of the Wanhua Imperial Capital, adding a little loneliness out of thin air.

In addition to rare trees, Zhenzhuyuan also has a large flower garden, and because it is close to the river, there are also some viewing platforms and pavilions along the river.

Su You had walked around a few times before, but he had never climbed those pavilions, and today he felt that the scenery was very good as Helin walked all the way. Looking at the river from a high place, there is a unique interest in the beautiful south of the Yangtze River. Looking at it greedily, Herring said in her ear

"Lord, this is it, the slave and maid will retreat first."

Su You looked at it and felt that the pavilion in front of him was very familiar. Looking at it again, it is exactly the same as the pavilion of Yang Huairen in the Muen Courtyard of Taiye City.

He stepped into the gazebo, and in the pavilion sat a man. I saw him in a gray cloth robe, wearing a melon skin hat, and making tea.

"Old Yang?" As soon as Su You's words came out, he felt ridiculous.

How can there be any old Yang in this world......

Yang Huairen raised his head and greeted him with a smile as always

"Da Su, you're here. Come and sit down, me

The crow that has just been brewed is not allowed to leave until you finish drinking two today. ”

It was such a sparse and ordinary sentence, and Su You suddenly almost burst into tears.

The crow is extremely bitter, frowning every time he drinks it, and it is astonishing to be able to drink a whole cup of tea. Yang Huairen once laughed at himself, "I always drink some gentle tea that meets people's expectations, and my tongue is spoiled." So he made a bet with him that he would one day be able to drink two crows in a row.

It seems that the words were just said yesterday, but the person is no longer the same person as yesterday.

Su You shook his head and said gloomily, "Wen Lan, since you have already taken off your mask, why do you have to put it on again?" It's not like I don't know your true face. ”

Yang Huairen smiled.

"Da Su, I know that you have been bored in your heart for the past few days, wouldn't it be a good thing to come to my pavilion today to relieve your boredom?"

"Boredom? How to solve it? ”

"You sit down first. Come, eat a sea buckthorn fruit, this is what Robelle just ordered this morning. ”

As he spoke, he handed one over.

Su You saw that there was still a layer of gold leaf wrapped under the fruit, and it was obvious that Rob was trying his best to please him.

Yang Huairen looked at his expression, guessed what he thought, and said with a smile, "This Luo Bu'er is really a snake." ”

"But it's this layer of gold leaf, I think it's the most real of all this."

Yang Huairen didn't pick up his stubble, and said with a smile, "Da Su, how about we make an appointment today?" I won't call you the lord of the country today, and you don't call me the Great Witch God, let's just drink tea and chat like in the past, okay? ”

Su You smiled bitterly, "Okay, you can do whatever you say, but no matter how hard you work on these details, the result will be the same." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Lao Yang, in your heart, whether it is sending me to Cangwu or disturbing the court in the blue sea, the southern expedition is the ultimate goal of your scheme, and everything is for this purpose. You wear this mask today, just because you think that I will remember the old feelings, and if you mention the matter of the Southern Expedition with me, it will be easier to talk. To be honest, I really don't know what else can stop you. I know you're good at capturing people's hearts, but there are some things that I won't be willing to do, no matter how hard you try to or force me. ”

Su You has been tossing and turning for the past few days and nights, even if he is the lord of the country, even if he racks his brains, he can't think of any way to stop Wen Lan. The whole of Imulan is in the palm of Wen Lan, he is a lord who doesn't even know the road to the palace, what can he do?

Yang Huairen laughed out loud, and smiled very heartily, "Da Su, you said it so bluntly at the beginning, it is not true that people love it, nor do they hate." ”

"Am I right?"

"Yes and no." Yang Huairen poured the teapot and shook it, poured a cup for himself first, and asked, "You know, why am I wearing this mask today?" ”

Su You shook his head.

Yang Huairen poured the teapot in his hand, shook it again, took an empty cup and put it on the side, and poured a cup on the unoccupied seat.

"Da Su, do you want to be small?"

The tip of Su You's nose was sour.

That cup of tea was for Xiao Xiao, and she always sat in that direction and drank the crow's

I always drink the second lamp. Although she always complained that Lao Yang didn't keep the best third crow for herself, in fact, she thought the third light was too bitter and didn't want to drink it.

Thinking of this, Su You's heart was already like a knife.

Why happy times are always fleeting.

"I miss her too." Yang Huairen saw that Su You didn't answer, so he replied to himself.

He picked up the teapot again, shook it, and finally poured a cup for Su You.

"Da Su, this mask I have today is not for you."

Su You looked at him and listened to him continue.

"Twenty years under Taiye City, I am almost more familiar with the grass and trees there than most of Shakoye...... I've eaten almost all of their fish, and I've ridden almost all of their boats. Before the Fuxing Terrace was built, I watched the craftsmen carry the stone and wooden beams in and out. People like Zhao Yu and Qin Daoyuan who hurriedly left the scene also watched one stubble after another. Taiye City, for me, is like a stage. If you sing one scene, you will rebuild one, and if you sing another scene, you will change your face. Every day I think about when I can take off my costume and spread it for a few days, and I won't sing anymore. But I really took off the mask, and my heart was a little empty. ”

Lao Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Da Su, I won't tell you. I didn't know what to do when I woke up in the morning in front of the bronze mirror. For decades, the first thing I did when I got up was to change my face and turn myself into someone else. It's not easy now, but I still can't help but sit in front of the mirror for a while, hesitating to change my face. So I thought this morning, it's easy to get started, so why bother with all these troubles. So, this mask is really not worn to talk to you. ”

Su You was saddened by what he said, and couldn't help but take a closer look at his face. He looks like he is in his thirties, with white skin and no signs of aging.

Lao Yang continued: "People are so strange. Whether it's good, bad, like or dislike, if you follow you for a long time, you will be inseparable. Sometimes you can't even tell if it's what you like or not. It's like this human skin mask, it's uncomfortable to stick to your face sticky. But if you wear it for a long time, you will feel at ease, and you don't care if it's comfortable. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Su You lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly felt that Lao Yang was a little pitiful.

Seeing that he was silent, Lao Yang nodded, "You should be able to understand, you and I are actually the same." For as long as you can remember, you have felt that you are a native of Cangwu, and you have grown up eating water and rice there, and no matter how tall you may be to look like an Imuran, neither you nor those around you have ever doubted that you would be a foreigner. You have been taught by the other side since you were a child, and they will teach you that the country of Imuram is one who burns, kills, and plunders all kinds of evil, and the country of Cangwu is one of kings, benevolence, ministers, wisdom, and harmony. But that's not true! They will never tell you that my people of Imuran have worked hard to fill their stomachs, nor will they tell you about the deceit between the Li clan and the Muyun clan! ”

Old Yang let out a long breath and sighed

"But yes. If it's been fake for a long time, it will really make people mistakenly think it's real. Just like when I get up early every day and look at this fake face, I look at comfort. You too, you open your eyes every day

Someone will teach you the so-called 'truth', and when you gently tell you the real truth, you will be very angry and unwilling to believe it. Over the years, in fact, you and I have been transfiguring, and the difference between me and you is only that I know and you don't. You've never taken off your mask, you thought it was your face, and now when you have to take off the mask, you feel pain! ”

When Su You heard this, he was already displeased, and he was about to refute, but was stopped by Lao Yang

"Listen to me. I know what you're trying to say, people are ruthless. No matter what Ye Zhiqiu's purpose is, no matter how Mu Yunyou teaches, they have raised you. I know all your feelings for them. I told you the story of Shawan Village and Baishui Village before, do you remember? ”
