Wang Yuan ate a whirlwind, and ate two plates of side dishes, a bowl of hot soup and a large bowl of rice in an instant, feeling that this was the most comfortable meal he had eaten when he came to Datang. Facing the empty dishes, Wang Yuan suddenly found that Gongsun Lan didn't seem to have eaten at all, scratched his head and said: "Oh, I'm too rude, the master's family didn't eat a bite, but taught me to eat clean, rude, rude, too rude." ”

Gongsun Lan Yanran smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, I don't eat at night, just drink a bowl of vegetarian soup before going to bed." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Lose weight?" Datang is also popular for weight loss? ”

Gongsun Lan said strangely: "What weight loss? ”

Wang Yuan was busy shutting up, losing weight or something is not popular at this time, the women on the street are plump, the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty are plump, and the women in the homes of ordinary people are all slender, but that is not an enviable figure.

"Is the food still delicious?" Gongsun Lan asked with a smile.

"It's not just delicious, it's so delicious, if you can eat such a meal every day, you won't change it for an emperor." Wang Yuan began to praise uncontrollably.

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "Such words are not sincere, can't you compose poems?" If that's the case, you should write a poem and praise it. ”

Wang Yuan felt that this was a big problem, it was not easy to write poems in response to the situation, and there were no ready-made poems in his stomach. But seeing Gongsun Lan gloating at herself, she suddenly became competitive, frowned and thought for a moment, and finally racked her brains to chant four sentences.

"White lotus root, green bamboo shoots, red rice, clay pot Tianshui plum soup; If there is no fairy dexterity, how can there be delicious food in the world. ”

Gongsun Lan was slightly surprised, she actually wanted to embarrass Wang Yuan, and she didn't really want Wang Yuan to write any decent verses; is saying that writing poems is all about elegant scenes and moods, which has nothing to do with coarse tea and light rice, but Wang Yuan really wrote it decently.

Although these poems are not shocking, it is very rare to be able to respond to the situation in such an instant, not to mention comparing himself to a fairy in the sky, although there is an obvious suspicion of patting on the back, but who doesn't like to hear people compliment themselves as a fairy in the sky? Especially women.

"Even if you're still a little anxious, you didn't waste my bowls of food." Gongsun Lan smiled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and took them away, Wang Yuan was in a good mood, and he was a lot more casual, he made himself a bowl of thick tea, sat at the door, and drank tea beautifully in front of the fragrant plum blossoms in the courtyard.

Gongsun Lan didn't come out of the room again, Wang Yuan wanted to talk to her, but he was embarrassed to call her, after wandering around boredly for a while, Wang Yuan saw a bamboo flute with tassels hanging on the wall, so he took it down and played with it. When I remembered that when I was in college, I spent all night studying the skills of playing the flute in order to catch up with a female classmate who liked to play the flute, so that I could have a common language, and I couldn't help but laugh.

There was nothing to do left and right, Wang Yuan gently tried the flute, and he was able to blow it, so he put the flute in his mouth and played it slowly. The melodious and tactful sound of the flute echoed in the sky above the plum garden, and it also attracted Gongsun Lanwei, who was meditating and resting in the room, to listen quietly with his eyes.

After getting along for half a day, Gongsun Lan's understanding of Wang Yuan has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she feels that there is indeed something unusual about this young man, what it is, but it is difficult to understand. I just feel that he seems to be different from everyone he has ever met, how can such a person be reduced to the market?

……

After the third watch, Gongsun Lan finally came out of the wing, Wang Yuan was curled up on the futon by the fire and napping, when he heard the footsteps, he immediately woke up, and saw Gongsun Lan dressed in black and standing in front of him with a black hood, knowing that he was going out.

"Wang Gongzi, send you back to Yong'an Fang, you can put on this cloak." Gongsun Lan wore a black cloak on her arm.

Wang Yuan took it and put it on, Gongsun Lan blew out the candle, and the two went out of the house, but they saw that the air outside was cold, the stars were twinkling in the sky, and there was silence in all directions.

"Let's go." Gongsun Lan whispered softly and stepped onto the snowy path among the plum trees. Wang Yuan followed, and soon came to the north wall of the Great Ci'en Temple, and he didn't see how Gongsun Lan behaved, and he went up to the wall with his toes like a soft cloud.

Wang Yuan stood below and looked up, only to see Gongsun Lan drop a black ribbon, Wang Yuan hurriedly grabbed it, and under the traction of Gongsun Lan, his body was as easy as a cloud and a fog to the top of the wall. When he went down, Gongsun Lan grabbed Wang Yuan's arm and took him to the ground. When he was in the air, Wang Yuan couldn't help but glance at the woman beside him, and when he saw the beautiful silhouette of Gongsun Lan as marble, he couldn't help but feel moved.

There are no dangers along the way, Gongsun Lan seems to have calculated the law of Wuhou on the street, every time he pulls Wang Yuan to hide behind a tree or in the shadow under the wall, there must be Jin Wuwei patrolling the street Wuhou to appear near the left, and after they disappear, they will take Wang Yuan's arm and run on the street. Wang Yuan actually didn't use any strength at all, most of it was Gongsun Lan's support, but even so, when he arrived at Yong'an Fang, he was still out of breath, but Gongsun Lan's face was like a sinking water, his breath was calm, and Wang Yuan was like pinching a goose feather. Wang Yuan originally didn't believe that martial arts were so magical, and the heroes and masters of later generations of movies and television were all clips, but now Wang Yuan really believes in martial arts.

Quietly entered the Yong'an Fang, and in the shadows inside the Fang wall, Gongsun Lan stood up and said softly: "Wang Gongzi, that's it, you can go home safely." ”

Wang Yuan bowed and said: "Thank you Aunt Gongsun, today's rude is too much to disturb, please bear with me." ”

Gongsun Lan returned the salute slightly, took out an object from his waist and handed it to Wang Yuandao: "I don't know when we will be able to meet, I see that the son is proficient in music and rhythm, and this Xiangfei bamboo flute will be given to the son as a souvenir." ”

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, hurriedly took the thank you with both hands, and felt all over his body to find something in return, but found that there was nothing on his body except for the clothes he was wearing.

Gongsun Lan turned around lightly and said, "Don't leave it at that." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "I don't know if I still have the opportunity to see Aunt Gongsun again." ”

Gongsun Lan looked back and smiled: "Didn't you say that gathering and dispersing are all fate?" Let it be. One last word of advice to Childe at the time of parting. The wind and rain of the court are worse than the mountains and fields, and if the prince is determined to accept Li Shizhi's invitation, he needs to see and listen to all directions, and he can't trust anyone. ”

Wang Yuan bowed ninety degrees and said in a low voice: "Keep in mind below." ”

Gongsun Lan turned around and jumped up, like a black cloud floating on the top of the wall, and after a while, disappeared.

Wang Yuan stood in place for a long time, until the footsteps of the night patrol came and the light of the lantern shone from afar, so he hurriedly went into the alley and quickly returned to his small courtyard.

It was dark in the house, and when he came back at night, he could see Li Xin'er waiting for him in the house, but when he entered the room, he turned on the light and saw the empty room, and the things that were packed in the afternoon were messy and still the same, Wang Yuan felt slightly disappointed.

Pack up your mood, go to bed with your clothes, and before you know it, you fall asleep.

……

The sound of the morning drum woke Wang Yuan up, Wang Yuan turned over and got up, washed his face with cold and biting water, and after tying his hair in a bun, Huang San's call came from outside the door. Wang Yuan opened the door and saw Huang San and the eldest sister of the Huang family standing at the door, presumably to help Wang Yuan pack up his things and bid farewell to Wang Yuan.

The faces of the three brothers and sisters of the Huang family are not very good, especially Huang Ying, whose eye bubbles seem to be a little swollen, as if they have cried, and Huang San also looks like a bitter gourd face.

Wang Yuan knew that they were sad that they were about to leave, and they were reluctant to give up this decision because of this, so he greeted the three of them with a smile to dilute the atmosphere of parting.

Huang Ying boiled the water, put the food she brought with her on the table and asked Wang Yuan to eat, and then turned around, then she came over and asked suspiciously: "Brother Wang, why is Xin'er's sister-in-law not here?" ”

Wang Yuan gnawed on the sesame cake and waved his hand: "I was sent to my cousin's house in Dongcheng yesterday evening, I am afraid that it will be difficult to settle down these days, and I am afraid that she will be affected, so I sent it to my cousin's house to live for a few days." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Huang family had no doubt, when Wang Yuan was eating, Huang San was busy in the side room, Wang Yuan rushed over to take a look, Huang San was trying to move the big bed out, Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped, and pulled the three brothers and sisters who were busy to the hall and sat down.

"I've packed everything I should have packed, and the three packages at the base of the wall are the ones, and I don't have to move anything else. Yesterday, the willow steward said that it was enough to bring a change of clothes, and the other furniture and bedding were all ready. ”

Huang San smacked his tongue and said: "Sure enough, it is the left phase, and the style is really big." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Our small family uses furniture and bedding as money, and people don't take it seriously, so it's okay, these things are just left for you to use." Saburo, this is the key to the house, you take it. ”

Huang San was stunned and said, "What is Erlang doing?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have already thought about it, your family is really cramped in the two rooms of your house. The eldest sister and the younger sister are all older, so I can't squeeze together with you, it's too inconvenient. It's not good for this yard to be empty, San Lang, you can live by yourself, or let the eldest sister and younger sister come to live. Or simply move in with your whole family, one for the eldest sister and the younger sister, one for you and Daddy Huang, although my house is dilapidated, it is much better than your house. ”

Huang San hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can this be done?" Won't you sell this yard? ”

Wang Yuan glared and said, "What did you do when you sold it?" This is also an ancestral property, how much do you think I am a loser? From now on, Erlang and I will never sell a piece of ancestral business again. In this way, the eldest sister and the father moved in, and San Lang and the younger sister still live in your own yard, so that both houses are occupied and popular. If I can't get along in the future, won't I come back? Do you want me to come home and have a man's tall artemisia growing in the yard and house? Just do me a favor. ”

Huang Ying clapped her hands happily and said, "Great, I like that dresser so much, I haven't sat in front of the dresser to comb my hair when I'm so big." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's all yours, the new house, the new bed, the new dresser, and those rouge gouache or something, you use them all." ”

Huang Ying said: "Don't you use those things, sister-in-law Xin'er?" ”

Before Wang Yuan could answer, the little sister hurriedly replied: "The big official who has taken a fancy to Brother Wang must have prepared a better one." ”

Huang Ying suddenly realized, her pretty face was flushed with a smile, and her eyes were shining.

After breakfast, Huang San. Went to the cross street to wait for the carriage to pick up Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan stood in the courtyard and looked around, he had lived here for more than a month, and he hadn't even taken a closer look at this small courtyard. Although it was dilapidated and not big, and the corners were still full of gravel and weeds and tattered debris buried in the half-melted snowdrift, Wang Yuan felt a little embarrassed at this time. For more than a month, I have gone from being at a loss to being able to face the world calmly, this dilapidated courtyard is the most reassuring place for me, and now I am leaving, but I am still a little reluctant.

"Brother Wang, sit down." Huang Ying brought a stool and placed it behind Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan turned around and smiled: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Huang Ying twisted the corner of his clothes and peeked at Wang Yuandao: "Brother Wang, let me ask you something, are you really not coming back this time?" ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe I won't come back." ”

Huang Ying lowered his head, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and Wang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Are you crying?" I saw your eyes red and swollen just now, did you cry last night? Can't you bear the brother of the Wang family? ”

Huang Ying nodded, tears dripping: "Brother said last night, maybe we won't see each other again, I ...... I feel sad when I think about it, and I want to cry when I can't help it. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Silly girl, your brother is not a fairy, how can he calculate whether we will meet or not?" I promise you, no matter what, I will come back to see you; And maybe I'll pick you up and go out with you when I get the chance. Don't cry, how unlucky. ”

Huang Ying hurriedly wiped away her tears and said: "Yes, yes, today is the big day of the Wang family's brother, the court officials are heavy, and the future is bright, how many people think that there is no such day, but the sister is not sensible but crying here, it really shouldn't be." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's it, smile." ”

Huang Ying smiled brightly, although she was dressed in a hairpin skirt, although she was young, this smile was still bright and moving, which made Wang Yuan's heart warm.

"Brother Wang, your hair is not in a good bun, I'll comb your hair and tie it in a bun. It's a gift for you. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not possible, it is not suitable." ”

Huang Ying tilted his head and said, "Why is it inappropriate?" I also help my brother comb his hair at home. ”

Only then did Wang Yuan understand why every time he saw Huang San, no matter how tattered he was, his hair bun was meticulous, and it didn't look coordinated at all, it turned out to be Huang Ying's handwriting.

Huang Ying had already taken off the wooden comb that was stuck in the hairpin on her head, came behind Wang Yuan, and while untying Wang Yuan's hair bun, she called at the little sister in the house to get a basin of water.

Wang Yuan was helpless, and felt that this move was not appropriate, but he was still gracious, and let Huang Ying's little hand tinker on his head, feeling comfortable and wanting to sigh. Finally put his hair in a bun and took a look at the bronze mirror, Wang Yuan also felt that Huang Ying's ability to comb his hair was quite good, and he immediately looked much more energetic. When Huang Ying, who was praising him, was embarrassed, Huang San took a few people into the courtyard gate, and Wang Yuan saw Steward Liu in a black robe with a smile on his face.

"Prince Wang, are you ready?" Steward Liu smiled.

Wang Yuan also saluted: "I'm tired of managing Liu, and I'm already ready for it." ”

Steward Liu waved his hand and said to the four young men in green clothes and hats behind him: "Why don't you go and get the package for Wang Gongzi and ask Wang Gongzi to get in the car?" ”

Several small servants hurriedly stepped forward and lifted a few packages at the door, and a handsome young man smiled in front of Wang Yuan and said, "Please get into the carriage of Wang Gongzi, just outside the courtyard." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, followed everyone out, and Steward Liu asked, "What about Mrs. Zun?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Send it to my mother's house to live, and then pick it up after settling down." ”

Steward Liu smiled: "It's okay, it's a lot of trouble these days, and it's okay to pick it up after the poetry meeting, but your husband and wife will be separated when they get married, but it's a little unkind." ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

At the moment, under the support of Steward Liu and the small servants, he went out of the courtyard gate, and at the entrance of the alley in front of the door, two black carriages were waiting, and several horses stood around; Many people in Yong'an Fang saw such a battle and watched around.

Everyone came to the carriage, a small servant set up a horse stool at the wheel, and asked Wang Yuan to enter the car, Wang Yuan stepped on the horse stool, got on the wheel, and looked back into the alley before getting into the carriage, but saw the three brothers and sisters of the Huang family standing silently at the mouth of the alley, looking at themselves. Huang San's face was serious, and Huang Ying and Huang Xing, the little sister of the Huang family, were already in tears.

"San Lang, I'm leaving, there will be a date later." Wang Yuan waved his hand.

Huang San shouted, "Erlang take care." ”

Huang Ying cried: "Brother Wang, come back to see us more often." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "It must be." ”

The people of Yong'an Fang, who were watching on the sidelines, were surprised to talk one after another.

"Is Wang Jiaerlang doing something?" A horse-faced woman asked, with her hands in her apron.

"Are you really a woman with a short period of knowledge, and if you commit an accident, you will send a carriage to meet the officials? Yesterday, there was a lot of excitement in the workshop, and Wang Jiaerlang called Li Shizhi, the left minister of the dynasty, to take a fancy to him and ask him to be an official. An old man replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Yesterday my Jiulang had smallpox, and I watched him at home all day and didn't let him go out to see the wind, how do I know about it? Wang Jiaerlang, this is a collision of luck, is this not developed? I knew that I should have been kind to him on weekdays. ”

"What's the use of you saying that now? You pointed at his nose and scolded the loser in front of him last year, have you forgotten? Wang Jiaerlang will become a big official in the future, but you can bear it. ”

"Ah...... Amitabha, please ask the Buddha to teach him to forget about this, I still have porridge boiling on the stove, so I have to leave quickly. The woman hurriedly turned around and fled, fearing that Wang Yuan would see her and remember the past.

Wang Yuan looked around, bowed his hand to the surrounding people for a week, and then got into the carport to lower the curtain, and after Steward Liu got into another carriage, several attendants jumped on horseback.

The chauffeur whipped and shouted, "Dear ...... Drive! The carriage started with the neighing of the horses, and soon went up the cross street and went straight to the Dongfang Gate.

The three brothers and sisters of the Huang family chased to the intersection, only to see the vague back of the carriage disappearing at the end of the street.
