I looked up, I didn't expect that there were people who couldn't sleep like me at such a late hour, and Monk Zhiyue didn't know when he came, leaning quietly against a pillar under the corridor.

I took the sword and arched my hand towards Monk Zhiyue, "Master is still restless at such a late hour?" ”

Zhiyue smiled: "Didn't the donor sleep either?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's very elegant here, and the younger generation likes it very much, so ...... Reluctant to sleep. ”

Zhiyue listened to my words, laughed in a low voice twice, and said: "The environment is born from the heart, and the donor is elegant, so that it can complement this environment, it seems that Mr. Ziyi is still a little worse." ”

I didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask to understand, but he yawned and smiled: "Hey, the moon has sunk in the west, and the poor monk is a little sleepy, so he will go to rest first." ”

My words stopped at my lips without exiting, and when Zhi Yue walked farther away, he turned his head to look at the whitening sky in the east, and the mountains and forests in the distance were covered with a layer of fog in a blurred morning light, and the ground was covered with frost. When I came back to my senses, I felt that the cold was oppressive, and I forgot that it was already the depths of winter, and hurried back to the house.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when I returned to Luoyang City, and on the way back, I was already thinking about when I would be able to visit the old man Ziyi again. Thinking of this, I felt a panic again, if everything is already doomed, no matter what the variables can't change, then what should I do? This problem, which had existed from the beginning, flashed back to my mind, casting a shadow over the otherwise pleasant mood.

The construction of Luoyang City was very smooth under the supervision of Yang Su, and when I left, Luoyang City had begun to take shape, and Yang Guang summoned me back to Beijing, saying that I didn't have to ask about Luoyang City.

I haven't returned to the Tang Mansion yet, only at the door I saw a few carriages parked, and I was still thinking about who was so attentive I didn't come back to visit me, who knew that a small guy came out of the door to see me, and said respectfully, "I've seen the eldest son", I looked, isn't this a kid Xu Shixu that my father once saved? How did he end up here? Don't......

I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran towards the house in three steps and two steps, and came to the front hall through several doors, and sure enough, I saw my father and mother sitting in the hall, and there were a few little hairy children standing on the left side of the head.

When my mother saw me flying, she got up and took my hand and looked around, and said with a smile, "Grown so tall?" It's so big, and this impatient temperament hasn't changed? "She seems to have changed into a different person, in the past, my teacher felt that she was high and had a natural majesty there, and I easily did not dare to provoke it, but today it is unusual, she has no saloon at all, and she is very kind everywhere.

Dad said: "Have you ever entered the palace to face the saint?" ”

I replied, "Back to my father, I've already been there." ”

Daddy nodded, and said to the little hairy children on the left, "I've come to see my brother." ”

I looked carefully for a long time, pointed to the first twelve or thirteen-year-old child and said, "Sanniang?!" Why do you look like this? ”

She, like the two children behind, is dressed as a boy, and she can't tell that she is a girl if she doesn't look carefully.

Dad smiled: "Your sister is not simple, you can busy your master in the Qizhou military camp." ”

Sanniang smiled and said, "Father, it was all tossed by the master and his old man." ”

Daddy glared at her angrily, she stuck out her tongue at me, and glanced at me again, I followed her eyes, and saw the two little hairy children behind her arching their hands at me and saying, "I've seen big brother." ”

I took a closer look at the little hairy child behind Sanniang, I haven't seen him for a few years, Li Shimin has grown from a little baby to a little adult, although his face is also pink, but his complexion is yellowish, his eyebrows are sparse, his eyes are not big, and his nose is very straight, I saw him inexplicably have a sense of superiority - he is not as white as me, and he is not as handsome as me.

Li Xuanba, the little hairy boy behind Li Shimin, is the same, his eyes are not small, but he always rolls around, as if he is beating me with some idea, I don't have a good impression of these two younger brothers.

As for the other younger brother Li Yuanji, because he was too young, he couldn't even walk steadily, so he didn't come out of the bedroom in the back.

I've lived alone in Daxing City for so long, and I actually hope that they can come back. But when they came back, I was disgusted again, and felt that the house was a little too noisy.

Of course, the leader must be my sister Sanniang, who can't even take her father and mother, and the other two younger brothers like to fool around behind her. But I have already seen the power struggle in the court, the killing methods of Emperor Yang Guang, it is impossible to be a carefree child like them, I am already an adult, and it is impossible to mix with them at all.

But Sanniang is an exception, she is a big ghost, and she is also famous for being eccentric. When I was studying in the Ink Hall, she was making trouble next to me.

"Big brother, you see that the weather outside is so good, why don't you go out for a walk?" She pointed to the sky outside the Ink Preservation Hall and said to me.

I reluctantly put down the book and said, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Sanniang pulled my lichen sleeve and smiled: "I haven't been back to Daxing City for a long time, as long as I can go out for a walk, I can go anywhere." ”

I touched her head, suddenly remembered something, and smiled: "Do you remember when I was ten years old, you gave me a parrot that can't speak?" Do you want to see it? ”

Sanniang's eyes flashed, and she shouted, "It's still alive?" ”

I nodded and said, "Not only alive, but alive and well." ”

"Then you take me to take a look." Sanniang dragged me out straightforwardly.

I took her for a small walk around Daxing City before finally arriving at Wei Ting's house. Of course, I didn't go through the main entrance, since he told me there was a back door that led to the garden, and I went through this back door when I was looking for him alone, which saved me a lot of trouble, and this time was the same.

We crossed a path and came to Wei Ting's study, the parrot was still green and fat, and it was very moist at first glance, Sanniang couldn't help but ask, "Is this the one I gave you?" How do I remember that the one I gave you was thinner than this one, and not as big as this one? ”

I couldn't help but feel funny, and said, "After so many years, even Sanniang, you have grown up a lot." Is it only for you to grow and not for it to grow fat? ”

Sanniang continued to tease the parrot while I walked around outside Wei Ting's study.

Suddenly, from far and near, only Wei Ting's voice was heard: "I also thought about it this in the lower world, and it's a pity to say it." ”

Then a slightly unfamiliar voice said: "The rebellion of the King of Han, negligent planning, is a sure defeat, even if you cross the river and go straight into it as you say, it will not succeed." ”

Sanniang listened to the conversation between these two people, suddenly stunned, her eyes lit up and said to me: "It's Chai Shao!" ”

I looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two young people entering the backyard one after the other, who was not Chai Shao walking in front? followed by Wei Ting pacing on the trail.

I didn't wait for them to approach, and shouted, "Brother Chai has been gone for a long time. ”

When the two of them heard my words and looked up, Wei Ting didn't feel anything, after all, I was in and out of their house, he had long been used to it, but Chai Shao was different, he saw me, opened his eyes vigorously, and replied as if he couldn't believe it: "Why are you here?" As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Sanniang.

Sanniang stepped forward and knocked off his outstretched fingers with a "snap", and said with a smile: "What? How can you come, we can't come? ”

Chai Shao's face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, no, it's just ......" This heroic young man was speechless in front of Sanniang.

Seeing this, I quickly explained: "I often go in and out of Wei Ting's house, and there is a back door in his backyard, and we came in from there. ”

Chai Shao suddenly realized: "I see." ”

Sanniang said again: "You are the Wei Ting that the eldest brother often mentions?" My eldest brother's bird, you raise it well. ”

Wei Ting saw such an unruly Sanniang, and he didn't know how to deal with it, I saw that Sanniang made both of them very embarrassed, and I was really a little uneasy, so I had to change the topic and asked, "When did Brother Chai return to the capital?" ”

Chai Shao replied: "Although the rebellion of the Han King has been largely pacified, there are still rebels in the north of the annexed state. After Yue Guogong returned to the division, we stayed to suppress the rebellion, and only returned two days ago, I heard that you went to Luoyang, why did you come back again? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know what the emperor means. ”

Wei Ting interjected on the side and asked: "Yang Su originally announced his personal vendetta, you have been by his side for the past few months, he hasn't done anything to you, right?" ”

Chai Shao said again: "I heard my uncle say, you are now deeply favored by the emperor, how does it feel to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven?" ”

As soon as he said this question, my heart sank suddenly, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven are simply an errand that may lose their heads at any time, I am now more and more repulsed, but in the face of Chai Shao and Wei Ting, I don't know how to say, so I have to say perfunctorily: "It's just to keep to yourself, and it's nothing special." ”

My answer, of course, is nonsense.

On the way back to the Tang Guogong Mansion from Wei Ting's house, Sanniang stared at me for a long time and asked, "Big brother, just now Chai Shao asked you how it feels to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I saw that your face has changed, isn't it very difficult to do?" Or is it hard? I heard my father say that you were beaten by Yang Su in the Bingzhou military camp, what is going on? ”

Her series of questions made me feel as uncomfortable as if I had knocked over something, and I suddenly had a very familiar feeling when I looked at Sanniang, that was the feeling I had when I joined forces with her in the school field to teach Yu Wenhua and.

No matter how many people I know, whether it is Wei Ting, Yu Wenhuaji, or those people in Qingyu Pavilion, or the people from the old man in the north of Luoyang City, no one has ever asked me these questions.
