Chapter 83: The East Wind Is Not Far Away
Xiao Yanning stood empty for a while, and suddenly said, "Hengxiu, don't hide, come out." ”
Hengxiu was startled, turned around and ran, the green bamboo leaves quickly receded in front of her eyes, and she ran out of a bamboo forest before she stopped and gasped.
"Hengxiu? Is that you? A teenager's voice came from not far away.
Hengxiu looked up, and a big smile bloomed on his face, "Brother May? How are you here. ”
It was the young man of May who came over, "I heard that my aunt is back, I came to see Mr. Shen just now, and Mr. said that my aunt went to the plum blossom dock to get some things, so I thought about coming to the lake and waiting." ”
Hengxiu nodded and said, "My mother went to the plum blossom dock, don't let me follow, I'll go to the shore with you and wait." ”
May reached out for Hengxiu and brushed her somewhat disheveled sideburns, and said strangely: "What did you run just now?" Who's chasing you? ”
Hengxiu's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Brother May, what is the box in your hand?" ”
May sent the box in her hand to her, Hengxiu saw that the box was made of agarwood very exquisitely, and opened the lid of the box, and couldn't help but be surprised, but when she saw that there was a delicate velvet flower inside, the fluffy yellow color, the wind blew through the velvet and moved with the wind, Hengxiu couldn't help but touch it lightly with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful!" ”
May's eyes were full of smiles, "Do you like it?" ”
"I like it, my mother must like it too! Is this something you came to give to your mother? Hengxiu looked up and asked.
May looked at the pair of clear eyes, as clean as the autumn water in the deep valley, he paused, and said with some hesitation: "Yes...... Yes. ”
Hengxiu covered the box and said with a smile: "Let's go to the ferry and wait for my mother." ”
She stretched out her little hand to take May's big hand and led him forward, like a little master, "This garden is not as good as that of the Hot Spring Valley, it is easy to get lost in twists and turns, and you won't get lost if you follow me." ”
May nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow you...... You won't get lost. ”
……
"Hengxiu ......"
"Huh?"
"Do you like velvet flowers? If you like it, I'll give you another one tomorrow. ”
Hengxiu turned his head and asked, "Where did you buy it?" ”
"I ...... I'm ...... Gangneung."
"Gangneung is so far from here."
"It's okay! I'll go on a fast horse, and it won't take me ten days to go back and forth. ”
Hengxiu stuck out her tongue and smiled: "If my father knows that you went to Jiangling to buy me velvet flowers, I will definitely be scolded." Besides, my father said that my brother was fortunate in May, and he finally went back to Jinling for a trip and had a good rest. ”
May smiled, "Then if you like it, next time I come back from Gangneung, I will bring it to you." ”
Hengxiu smiled: "Okay, I like the red one." ”
"Ah...... Oh, didn't you like goose yellow before? ”
Hengxiu tilted her head and thought about it, "But I like red now." Brother May, next time you go to Gangneung, see if there is any red. ”
She remembered that Xiao Yanning used to love to wear red clothes, and people like him, with red clothes, were not as charming as mortals.
She felt that she should like the red ones too.
But she forgot that now Xiao Yanning was blind, and what he wore every day was just a blue-gray linen robe. He was a proud man, and he did not want to be served, so he did not know what kind of clothes he was wearing.
Hengxiu pulled May to the water's shore, and saw Rao Tu swaying ashore. May hurriedly stepped forward to help her moor the boat, "Auntie, why are you holding the boat alone and not having a servant with you?" ”
Rao Di looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes were full of joy and smile: "May, you are so old." "He's grown, a head taller than her.
May said: "I heard that my aunt came back, and I hurriedly came to see you, after so many years, my aunt still hasn't changed a little." It's still so gentle and beautiful. ”
Rao Tu laughed: "Flim Flam! Just say something nice to coax me. ”
Hengxiu stepped forward and said, "Mother, Brother May has prepared a gift for you." As he spoke, he picked up the agarwood box in his hand and opened it, showing the goose yellow velvet flower to Rao.
Rao Di glanced at it, and saw that May looked ashamed, so she knew what was going on, because she picked up the velvet flower and said with a smile: "With such a bright color, I must not be as good as Ah Xiu." In May, I gave your gift to Ah Xiu, are you annoyed? ”
May blushed and said, "Ah Xiu likes red." ”
Rao Di laughed, pinned the velvet flower to Ah Xiu's sideburns, and smiled at May: "Look, isn't it good-looking?" ”
May nodded stunned, "That's good." ”
Hengxiu saw that her mother and brother May were a little weird, so she couldn't help but wonder, she looked up at May, and then at Rao, and couldn't figure it out.
On the second day, Shen Zhuling prepared a family banquet, four children, Hengwen, Hengxiu, May, Xiao Yan, and two adults, Shen Zhu and Rao. When a family sits around and eats together, life is beautiful.
Hengwen Hengxiu and May have seen Rao Tu a long time ago, crying and laughing, but Xiao Yan is the first time to see Rao Tu.
Xiao Yantai stared at Rao Di with a pair of bright eyes, wondering how there could be such a good-looking aunt in the world? Rao Tu saw that Xiao Yanning's eyebrows were very similar to Xiao Yanning, and even the charm of grace and laziness was a little bit like it, but the little girl's mouth was like Lu Zhouyue.
Rao Di has never had a bad feeling for Lu Zhouyue, knowing that she gave birth to Xiao Yantai and died in childbirth. Thinking of the words that Lu Zhouyue said to her in Tongchuan back then, it was clear that she was relieved. Although that woman was born as a young lady from a wealthy family, she has no arrogance since she met Xiao Yanning.
Lu Zhouyue is a poor woman, since she met him in this life, she only lived for him and died for him, although when she died later, she didn't even earn a single tear from him. In response to the news of her death, there was only Xiao Yanning's faint "um" word. But Rao Di understands that Lu Zhouyue has actually already got what she wants.
The little inkstone has always been kept by Shen Zhu's side, and she has never seen her father, which makes Rao Di feel even more sorry for this girl, and when she eats, she holds the little inkstone by her side and keeps picking vegetables for her.
After eating, I returned to the military in May. Rao Tu and Shen Zhu were in the study, and the official documents on Shen Zhu's case had been piled up into a mountain. Rao Di couldn't understand those documents, so she could only help him grind them while muttering: "There are so many official documents for you to deal with, when will this be a head." ”
Shen Zhu said while criticizing Zhu: "Tongchuan is flat, the world is flat." ”
Rao Di's heart moved, "Zhenlong also said this sentence. ”
Shen Zhu nodded: "She is now in Jiangling with Lu Zhiming. ”
"Why does it have to be Pingchuan Shu? A few years ago in Sichuan and Shu, I saw that Xie Tangyan would govern Shu very well, he had been serving as an envoy in Western Shu for so many years, and he just wanted to be at ease in the country of Tianfu, and he would not bully an inch away from Xian Jiangshan. ”
Shen Zhu's hand holding the pen paused slightly, "Have you been to Xishu?" ”
"Yes, I've seen Xie Tangyan too."
"Xie Tangyan is Sima Zhao's heart, and he will not settle in a corner of Shu." Shen Zhu's tone was light, and he didn't plan to explain more with Rao Tu.
Rao Tu smiled helplessly, "Then Xishu is not peaceful for a day, and you will be in Jinling for a day?" ”
"Xishu will be recovered in May, and when the time comes, the world will be his."
Rao Tu lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you insist on pacifying Xishu for the sake of May?" ”
Shen Zhu put down his pen and looked at her with a smile, but did not answer.
Rao Di nodded, and suddenly said: "No wonder you have been letting May attack Sichuan and Shu, it turns out that this is what you mean, to give May a confidence." ”
Shen Zhu said slowly: "May is actually very good, Mr. Mingqi is not optimistic about May, I can't convince Mingqi, but I can always give May a chance." ”
Rao Tu smiled and said in a low voice: "Naturally, you are thoughtful, but you are just ...... It's just that in my private opinion, May seems to be interested in our Hengxiu......"
Shen Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Yes, but Hengxiu only regards May as a big brother." When he said this, his tone was actually a little proud.
Rao Tu pushed him and said, "What are you proud of?" ”
Shen Zhu pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Hengxiu is still young, so he has to accompany us for a few more years." ”
"I've never seen such a black-hearted father, who doesn't think about his daughter's life." Hengxiu's girl is very pampered, and I don't know which one can afford it in the future. If May is not the emperor, he and Hengxiu will be childhood sweethearts. It's just that Hengxiu is big, and his mind is unpredictable, so he may not be intentional ......"
"What's the hurry? You only married me at fifteen, and there are still a few years before Hengxiu leaves the pavilion. ”
Seeing him looking down at the placket of his clothes, Rao Tu felt weak in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his neck, "What do you see, the thief's eyebrows." ”
Shen Zhu was a little speechless, he asked himself if he had never been described by the words "thief eyebrows and rats", and smiled deliberately: "I'm looking at a piece of red on your neck, if you ask Hengwen Hengxiu to see it, what do you say?" ”
Rao Dijiao glanced at him, "It's not all your good work!" It's a big deal, it's a mosquito bite. ”
Shen Zhu laughed, let her go, and straightened her robe, "I'm going to read the official document, please don't talk yet." ”
Seeing that he was sitting in a serious position reading the official documents, Rao Tu felt a slight softness in her heart, knowing that he did not dare to slack off after working hard for days, and did not say anything at the moment, just stood aside and grinded for him. It's winter, and the ink can quickly turn into ice on the inkstone, Rao Tu looked at the inkstone, and thought of the girl in the little inkstone, and wanted to ask Shen Zhu, seeing him frowning and thinking carefully, he swallowed the words again.
It wasn't until twilight, when the north wind was howling outside the window, and a lamp oil was exhausted, that the full file was processed, and Shen Zhu selected a few more copies for Mr. Mingqi to see. The rest was read by the provincial squire of Zhongshu and sent back to the ministries for agreement.
Shen Zhu did this, and Rao Tu asked people to send hot porridge and a few light side dishes, and the two of them ate directly in the study. Shen Zhu said: "Just now the steward said that Hengwen was called to the military aircraft government in May, and Hengxiu went to the old mansion of the five kings. ”
Seeing that he said casually, she knew what he wanted to say, so she said, "I believe in May, and I believe in Hengwen." Hengwen has his own ideas, but his father is not an ambitious person, and neither is he. As for Hengxiu, she has been close to Xiao Yanning since she was a child, she likes to play with Xiao Yanning, and Xiao Yanning is also willing to mess around with her, but she doesn't have to be too restrained. ”
Shen Zhu didn't speak, but he knew that she was soft-hearted. Xiao Yanning was in that place, it was better to let Heng Xiu talk to him more, otherwise he would be too lonely alone.
Seeing that he stopped talking, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Ah, I think you understand that this is actually his choice."
Rao Di's heart trembled slightly, as if the child who had done something wrong was discovered, and she whispered: "Yes, it was originally his choice, he has taken revenge, he luckily did not die, and he got a peace...... However, I always felt ...... Seems to owe him something...... Feast on ice, I'm ......"
Shen Zhu said softly: "Ah Yu, you owe him his life, and I have already paid it back." ”
Rao Tu leaned into his arms and muttered, "Yes, it has already been returned, and the hundreds of injuries you suffered on the floating dungeon have long been returned." Yan Bing, I am just your person in this life and this life. ”
Shen Zhu raised her face and said in a gentle tone, "You don't owe him, and you don't owe me." ”
Rao Di shook her head: "Who said that you don't owe?" It's just that I owe you, but you owe me too. The debt between the two of us is unclear in this life, and we can only be entangled. ”
Shen Zhu smiled slightly and hugged her tightly, "One life, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
"Then the next life, the next life. Yan Bing, maybe Xiao Yanning is right, I used to be really stupid. The first time I saw you, I should have known that I would never want to run away in my life. ”
The wind outside is whistling, winter is coming, the north wind is howling, but the east wind is not far away.
The two people in the house, two hot hearts, experienced love and hate, and finally ironed each other.
The true warmth of the world is his gentleness in this scene.
Rao Tu has seen many people in her life, and she may have been moved by another person's affection at some point and at some point. But she asked herself, only Shen Zhu, only the silent power of his gentle smile, could make her fall into the abyss, and she was willing.
…… Xiao Yanning was lying on a wicker chair, and the little girl was sitting on the side, humming an out-of-tune tune in her mouth. Next to it was a stove, and the teapot hung over the stove, gurgling and steaming.
Xiao Yanning smelled the fragrance of tea, and he said slowly: "It's better to smell tea than to drink tea." ”
Hengxiu didn't seem to understand, and while shaking the rattan chair for him, he asked, "My mother said that you are the father of Xiaoyantai, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Yanning shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Huh? But my mother never lied to me. ”
"Since you believe in your mother so much, what do you ask me to do?" Xiao Yanning was faint, his breathing was almost nothing, if he wasn't still talking, it would make people wonder if he was dying.
Hengxiu muttered, "I remember that when I was a child, there was an Aunt Lu, and she seemed to like you very much. ”
Xiao Yanning smiled lightly: "Like it?" Can it be eaten as a meal? ”
Hengxiu is accustomed to his coolness, and she even discovers at some point in the future that she actually likes his coolness.
Xiao Yanning sighed: "When you come back this time, does your mother always laugh?" ”
Hengxiu tilted her head and said, "When my mother smiled, it looked good." ”
Xiao Yanning nodded and said, "Yes, I remember when she smiled, she didn't look bad." ”
"It's good-looking, not bad." Hengxiu corrected.
"That's it, but it's not bad when she's angry." Xiao Yanning's godless eyes suddenly brought some reminiscence.
Hengxiu looked at him stupidly, and suddenly asked, "What about me?" ”
"What are you?"
"Doesn't it look good when I'm angry?"
Xiao Yanning shook his head: "I don't remember." ”
Hengxiu drooped her head, a little lost, and she muttered, "Actually, I'm also very good-looking, but it's a pity that you can't see it." ”
Xiao Yanning said: "If you are like your father, you will not look good." ”
Hengxiu hurriedly said: "I'm like a mother, they all say so." ”
"Who are they?"
"My dad said it, and my brother May said it."
"May said it, that's probably true."
"Brother May also said that he would give me velvet flowers, I want red, do you want it?"
Xiao Yanning rolled his eyes, "What do I want that for?" ”
"Oh......"
Xiao Yanning hesitated for a while, and asked casually: "...... The one called the little inkstone...... Good or not? Cry or not? ”
"Don't cry, very well-behaved, she likes me, she doesn't like my brother. My brother always annoyed her. ”
"That's it......" Xiao Yanning smiled, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of tea, and stopped talking.
In the Moon Occultation Mansion, Su Gongzi, who was in charge of Qingle, Yale, and Yunshao, was sitting under the porch, with a Jiaowei piano placed horizontally in front of his lap. Everyone in the world knows that Su Zhen can play "Guangling San", but he only played it once in Tongchuan Tingxue Pavilion.
He took a piece of silk cloth and carefully wiped the body, and without touching the strings for half a minute, his strings did not tremble, but only burst out between his fingers.
The snow had fallen, spreading a thin layer on the ground. There is snow in Jinling City every year, and this year is no different from previous years. A carriage slowly drove towards the Moon Occult Mansion, and a woman dressed in a warm yellow crane stepped out of the carriage, and she looked up at the four-character plaque of the Moon Occultation Mansion.
Su Zhentong hurriedly walked to the door, and said respectfully: "Greet Mrs. below." Not only his voice, but even his whole body trembled slightly. He lowered his head and didn't see Rao's face, just looked at the half-exposed pair of embroidered shoes under her skirt.
These embroidered shoes shouldn't have been stained with slush, he thought.
"Master Su doesn't have to be polite, you came to me, what's the matter?" Rao Di's voice was soft, she received Su Zhentong's notebook this morning, inviting her to come to the Moon Cover Building to say that there was something important to discuss, so she came to the appointment.
Su Zhentong invited her to the mansion and sat down to watch the tea, which made Rao Di a little confused, and said with a smile: "Master Su, you can just say anything directly, you really don't have to be so polite." ”
Su Zhentong sat down at this time, raised his eyes and saw that she was as beautiful as seven years ago, shook his mind slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I am willing to go to Jiangling to help Mr. Shen break the situation." ”
Rao Tu frowned, "What's your plan?" ”
"The elder brother under Xia took care of a prisoner surnamed Jiang under Xie Tangyan and watched it for seven years."
"Surname Jiang?" Rao Di exclaimed: "Is it Jiang Ying? ”
"I don't know if it's Jiang Ying, but the prisoner surnamed Jiang scolded Xie Tangyan for seven years, and Xie Tangyan didn't say a word back. I heard a secret story in the next that Jiang Ying, the general of the old Xishu city guard, had a good sleeve with Xie Tangyan, and Xie Tangyan treated him differently from others, or he could break the situation. ”
Rao Di stared at him, and seeing that his expression was sincere, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't you tell Shen Zhu directly, but came to me." ”
"Mr. wants to pave the way for the prince, and the prince should take Yangguan Avenue, this kind of conspiracy, why bother to say that Mr. knows?"
Knowing that the prince in his mouth was referring to May, Rao Di pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Please Madame send me to Shu."
Rao Di thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Why do you have to risk your life? ”
"Su Zhen is the same as the filthy life, if it weren't for his wife, he wouldn't even be able to die a clean death. If it is said that it is just to repay the favor, do you believe it? ”
Rao Di glanced at Su Zhen, her expression suddenly became very cold, and she said lightly: "I have no kindness to you." ”
"Even if Madame doesn't want to send me to Tongchuan, I will try my best to enter Shu." Su Zhentong's eyes were firm.
Rao Di waved her hand, "What are you going to do in Tongchuan, I don't care, and I won't miss your affection." She got up and walked outside the house, "Su Zhentong, you should stay here to study the piano score, instead of going to a place where it is right and wrong to do stupid things." What do you think you can do? Collaborated with your brother to kidnap Jiang Ying, and then threatened Xie Tangyan to give up Tongchuan? You're thinking too simply. ”
Su Zhen took a step forward as above, "Madame......"
Rao Tu turned back to him and smiled slightly: "No need to say more. Su Gongzi, thank you for giving me this news, at least let me know that Jiang Ying is not dead, and Xie Tangyan is not to the point of losing heart. I will discuss with Shen Zhu, you still stay in this Moon Occultation Mansion, waiting to compose music for the future of the prosperous world. ”
She stepped into the snow and walked away without looking back, Su Zhentong looked at her figure in the snow in a daze, and for a moment, he felt that this woman was actually very cold. The only one who can make her eyes warm is Mr. Shen, right?
Rao Di walked to the dumplings, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at the courtyard on the side, she smiled slightly, "Nangong Yiwu, since you are here, what are you hiding?" ”
Nangong Yiwu laughed, and a shadow rolled out of the courtyard wall and landed in front of Rao Di, "How do you know it's me?" ”
"Although the steps are light, there is a vanity in the image, and the Qinglou has been going too much recently, right?" Rao Tu squinted at him.
Nangong Yiwu smiled and said, "Eldest sister, can you not have this expression that sees through everything, can't you give me some face?" ”
"Phew! "You are the only grandson of the Nangong family, be careful, be careful if you get the disease in the future, and cut off the lifeblood of the Nangong family." ”
Nangong Yiwu was dumbfounded, "...... Accumulate some virtue in your mouth. ”
Rao said: "Follow me to the Shen Mansion." ”
"What?"
"Let you clean up for a few days and recuperate your body and mind. By the way, there is something for you to do. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The beauty of stealing incense and stealing jade."
"Okay, okay, then I'm good at it. But sister, I can't be distracted. ”
"What? The heart is dead? See through the red dust? ”
"It's not! I have a crush on a girl. ”
"Another girl?"
"This time it's serious, sister, sister...... Listen to me! I'm not kidding...... Hey, you wait for me, it's amazing, it's not what I taught! ”
Rao Di took Nangong Yiwu back to the Shen Mansion and bumped into Shen Zhu walking outside the courtyard. Nangong Yiwu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Lord Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Shen Zhu let out a "hmm" and nodded to Nangong Yiwu, which made Nangong Yiwu very frustrated and too ...... Not taken seriously, right? "Lord Shen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why aren't you excited at all?"
Seeing Shen Zhu's expression, Rao Tu asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Zhudao: "Zhenlong came to report, Lu Zhiming and the monk Li Xuanzong confronted, and the two of them fought in Jiangling for a day and a night, and they didn't stop. I am afraid that there will be a big change, and I will leave for Gangneung immediately. ”
