Just after the cool breeze in the early morning, the large and small teahouses all over the capital are very lively. Hello, talking, laughing, playing chess, each has its own fun, each has its own wonderful. Xiao Er shuttled flexibly between tables and chairs, adding tea and water, and welcoming people with a smile.

Yao Qianli came in from the main entrance, walked through the noisy lobby, and went up the stairs to the second floor, where they were all separated private rooms, and the environment was much quieter.

"Your side, please." Xiao Er led the way in front, and it was still the top room, and the plaque on the door read "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon"

Yao Qianli pushed the door and entered, and saw Mengqiu sitting by the window facing the street, holding a pastry in her hand and feeding the sparrows that had landed on the eaves.

"You're here." Mengqiu turned her head to see Yao Qianli, and a gentle smile welled up on her alienated face. He beckoned Xiao Er to come over and instructed him to prepare refreshments according to Yao Qianli's preferences.

Everything is in order, Mengqiu is still sitting by the window feeding the sparrows, wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt with all the hair tied up, today he is the heroic martial arts that a young man should have.

"I thought we wouldn't meet until then." Yao Qianli took a sip of tea and looked at Mengqiu, "What's the matter with looking for me?" ”

"I thought that before that, the third master would not come." Mengqiu looked at the joyful jumping sparrows, and couldn't take her eyes off it. "But the third master is here, are you worried about my ability to do things, or are you reluctant to give him off?"

Yao Qianli's fingertips roamed over the edge of the teacup, "I'm here to make sure nothing goes wrong." ”

Mengqiu suddenly turned her face and looked at Yao Qianli's face for a long time, "Third Master, is it serious?" ”

"I have sent you, and that is my determination. You never miss a job. ”

"Good!" Mengqiu swung her legs, jumped down from the chair, came to Yao Qianli's side and sat down, looked at him sideways, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "The hall meeting is tonight, it's all my specialty, and the fifth master will definitely like it." ”

Yao Qianli stroked his head and turned to leave. "You and I should not see each other often, after the matter is completed, we will go to Huawei Alley to make an errand."

I'm not sure what you want, I won't make a move, I don't want you to regret it, and I don't want us to be estranged from now on. If you don't hesitate, I'll hit it with one blow.

"Haruko." Mengqiu called, and a little boy entered, holding a horsewhip and a bow and arrows in his hand.

"Master, you have all the things to gallop your horse in. ”

Mengqiu walked over, put the bow and arrow open easily, and slowly let go of the blue sky outside the window. He smiled and took the whip from the boy's hand.

"What a good weather, tell the class master that I'm going to hunt a fox, and I'll be back before the church."

When Mengqiu came back, everyone was busy preparing for the evening performance. As soon as he stepped in, everyone was shocked.

He was dusty, with a torn strip at the shoulder, a slightly open collar, a few strands of hair lying in front of his face, and his always fair and delicate face was stained with mud, and although it was a very cold winter, beads of sweat ran down his flushed cheeks.

Such a bold and rough appearance, but it doesn't look like that red horn Mengqiu at all.

"Haruko." He gasped a little as he spoke, and threw the prey in his hand at the child, causing him to almost fall to the ground.

Mengqiu laughed. When the head of the class heard the sound, he saw this scene, and hurriedly sent everyone to work on their own work, and ordered someone to fetch water to change Mengqiu's clothes.

"Why did you come back at this time, the fifth master has come to see you several times." The class leader stood beside Mengqiu with a handkerchief, with an anxious face, "I have to say that the gift you brought to the fifth master was lost on the way, so I went out to find a new one." ”

Mengqiu had already changed into clean clothes, and there was warm water in the copper basin, and he picked up the water and covered his face, which was very comfortable.

The class leader was still making noise, "Oh, if you let people see you like this, you have to talk nonsense." It's not easy to get to where you are today, don't make a fool of yourself, make those old ladies unhappy, but you won't have this good life. ”

Mengqiu's hand was propped up on the edge of the copper basin, and the water dripped from his face back into the basin, and no one spoke.

The class leader was also silent, but he was a little unwilling to glance at Mengqiu with his eyes.

Haruko came in with a costume, and when she saw this scene, she obediently retreated to the door. In this place, Jiao'er is bigger than anyone else, not to mention Mengqiu, so many people like it and so many people hold it.

"Come on, don't talk about it." Mengqiu finally spoke, he took the hand towel from the head of the class, wiped his face clean, and threw it back into the basin. "I hunted an excellent fox today, the fur is complete, I will give it to the fifth master in a while, he has always liked these."

The class leader is also a knowledgeable person, and he piled up a smile at the moment, "Mengqiu is Mengqiu, and he thinks the most thoughtfully." The fifth master said that the hall will be over, and the old rule will be held at the Manxiang Causeway, so don't be late. He's going to greet a big man today, and he won't be able to pick you up. ”

Mengqiu nodded, and Haruko came over with the costume in her arms.

"Today's galloping horse, the smell on the body is heavy, and the costume has to be incense again."

Hearing Mengqiu say this, the head of the class was about to ask the child to take the costume to re-incense, but Mengqiu took it.

"I'll smoke it myself, I have a good fragrance from the fifth master here. Anyway, there are still some hours before the church, so I'll lie down for a while, so I can recharge my spirits, and put my clothes here. ”

Hearing Mengqiu say this, the head of the class naturally agreed, and immediately led the child to push the door out.

Where there is a dream of autumn, it is naturally the most lively. Yao Qianli sat in the corner tower, looking at the faint light in the distance hidden by the overlapping black eaves, where the drums and gongs were sometimes low and sharp, mixed with faintly boiling human voices, wandering wantonly in the huge night of the capital. Tonight's play will definitely be sung late.

Yao Qianli's eyes drooped, and the broken bracelet was tightly held in the palm of her hand.

On one side is a lover, on the other side is a brother, his heart has never been so heavy.

But Qianshao, why you?

When you were a child, you were born bad, and your father and mother were not hopeful, but it was my eldest brother and I who tried hard to keep you. At that time, the Yao family was just an ordinary ship merchant, and whenever the eldest brother went to sea to do errands, he would always seek medical advice for you. And I will take you with me every day, lest others will not be satisfied.

You can't speak until you are three years old, your eldest brother takes you by the hand and teaches you to write, and I take you to ride a horse and please your father and mother, and we brothers are good at that time, but why did everything become like this?

Yao Qianli sighed deeply, her eyes still looking at the dark starless night sky with deep eyes.

You used my woman to spread a huge net and encompass all of us who love you the most. It was you who made my mother misunderstand Feng'er's drama background, used the mother-son relationship to make me suspicious of Feng'er, and framed my eldest brother for having a personal relationship with her, which separated our brotherly feelings, and made me and Feng'er resentful of each other, and finally you actually killed Feng'er, an innocent person, and was extremely cold-blooded!

You got everything you wanted, but you miserably hurt me, my eldest brother, and Feng'er for no reason, causing the Yao family to be at odds with each other from now on, and there will never be peace.

I don't understand, my eldest brother and I saved your life, cared for you to grow up, and didn't give you enough? Why the hell are you doing this!

The sonorous gongs and drums sounded again, and the crowd gradually boiled a little.
