"Brother Rong fool is showing off in front of the eldest prince." Yang Su raised his head to look at Gao Cheng, and then said: "This tea is a sacred object from the monk's family hundreds of years ago. The first test in the day once said that the name of this tea is Mengding, because the monks of the Han Dynasty planted it on the top of Mengshan Mountain, and the tea trees planted have gone through life and death but have never refused to be extinct, and finally got this Mengding tea. ”

Gao Cheng didn't know why Yang Su suddenly told the story, but he knew in his heart that Yang Su was by no means a shallow literati who really intended to show off, so he also listened carefully.

Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's uncle and nephew are naturally smart people, and it is expected that Yang Yu will never make a special trip from Yecheng to tell the story.

Yang Yu stopped and stared at the tea mist in the lamplight. The atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. Fortunately, after a while, Yang Su continued, "Mengding tea is rare, and I like it very much in the first exam but I don't have the opportunity to drink more." When Yu was young, he served his father to drink tea, and the room was full of fragrant atmosphere, and his father called it fairy tea. Yang Su raised his head and said suddenly, "The Erzhu clan killed his father and exterminated the clan, but fortunately he was rescued by the prime minister, and he worked hard to pull it out." In the future, I will repay the grace of the prime minister's rebirth with a sincere heart, but if I get Mengding tea again, I don't know who to offer. ”

Yang Su's voice fell, but it was no longer as good as the usual talk just now, and a faint sadness unconsciously revealed uncontrollably.

There is so much in this statement. Cui Xian was alert, and his heart immediately lit up, and he rarely spoke, "Yang Changshi's loyal heart will live up to the prime minister, but the feeling of missing his father makes people feel even more nostalgic." He said as he looked at Gao Cheng. He sat on Yang Su's side, only to see that the eldest prince sitting opposite was quite silent, obviously arousing his heart.

Cui Jishu sat next to Gao Cheng, looked sideways at Gao Cheng and said, "The prime minister has never mentioned Lord Lang, and An Zhi is not thinking too much about it." ”

For a long time, Gao Cheng raised his head and said lightly, "Brother Zunyan's family was all killed by the Erzhu clan, and now they are alone, no one is scared, and it is inevitable that they will miss their father and brother." There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

Cui Jishu looked at the half-light and half-dark silhouette of Gao Cheng in the shadow of the lamp, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart. In the past, the son of the world would never hide his thoughts like this, nor would he be so inconsistent. I don't know whether to say that Lord Lang has grown up and matured, or should I say that he is becoming more and more like his father, the prime minister? And Lord Lang's delicate and deep mind also surprised him even more.

Instead, Yang Su laughed and said, "Why should the eldest prince worry so much. Treating his father as a father and his brother as a brother, the eldest prince has always had the world in his heart, why did he suddenly think about it sensitively? ”

Gao Cheng also laughed, "Brother Zunyan laughed, it's not that I'm sensitive and thoughtful, I'm just afraid that someone will be sensitive and thoughtful." ”

Yang Su looked at him and smiled, "It's someone else's business that others are sensitive and thoughtful, why should the eldest prince be led away." The eldest prince will not be able to tolerate his brother if he will be above ten thousand people in the future? ”

Yang Su's words were too straightforward, and no one in Er Cui continued to speak.

Although Gao Cheng's heart moved, he laughed loudly on the surface, "I have heard for a long time that Brother Zunyan is a talented son of Hongnong, and his reputation is well deserved. ”

When did the feast disperse? How many polite words were said between the staggered ones? All four of them are scheming smart people, and no one mentioned anything before. When did it get completely dark? When did Yang Changshi leave the hotel and return to his study? I heard my nephew Cui Xian say that it was the first time in several months that he saw Lord Lang drinking, and he was still drinking excessively.

The Manyun Pavilion Pavilion was completely silent. The night has come in the middle of the night, when it is all quiet and dark. I don't know why, Cui Jishu didn't feel sleepy, he just wanted to sit in the Chaolu Pavilion on the top of the mountain for a while, and think about the things that have happened these days.

He was fat and big, and he was climbing the mountain in the dark, which was really laborious. Along the way, I always felt that something seemed to be moving in the bushes and among the weeds. I thought maybe it was a fox, a rabbit, or something like that, so I didn't care about it. The late autumn night was quite chilly, but by the time he reached the top of the mountain, he was already sweating profusely.

Cui Jishu just walked towards the Chaolu Pavilion by himself, and when he inadvertently looked up, he suddenly found a person sitting in the pavilion, and shouted, "Who is here?" ”

"What's the shouting about? With no one in his eyes, he doesn't even recognize your lord? Gao Cheng, who was sitting in the pavilion, was extremely calm, obviously he had already recognized Cui Jishu in the dark.

Cui Jishu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Gao Cheng's voice, walked in and sat down next to Gao Cheng, and asked, "Is it because Lord Lang doesn't sleep late at night?" He smelled the strong smell of wine, and also remembered the way Gao Cheng drank one after another during the banquet just now.

In the dark, he also saw that Gao Cheng was still wearing a thin and unrefined hakama, and his silky hair was still scattered. Cui Jishu suddenly blurted out as if he couldn't control himself, "The prince has never been like this before. At this time, the cold wind was blowing, and Cui Jishu, who was still in a hot sweat just now, couldn't help but tremble a little.

Hearing him blurt out "Shizi", Gao Cheng was also stunned. It seems that he has lost something, and someone has told him that he can find it. But is this thing really what he wants?

Neither of them spoke.

Gao Cheng stood up and walked outside, without looking back, "Let's go down the mountain." ”

Cui Jishu followed behind Gao Cheng, and the two of them walked slowly down the mountain without being in a hurry at this time. They tacitly walked to the platform of the Tianyi Pavilion study one after the other.

Gao Cheng suddenly said, "Shuzheng, it's inconvenient for you to stay here for a long time, so come back to Yecheng with me this time." ”

Although Cui Jishu was a little surprised in his heart, he was still thinking about it, but he replied very naturally, "What Lord Lang said is that the prime minister also loves Mengding tea very much. ”

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the trees on the edge of the platform. Gao Cheng settled down, walked there, and suddenly felt something brushing on his cheeks, reached out and touched it but didn't touch it, and looked down to see a huge maple leaf falling to the ground, which was very different. For a few days, he always felt that there were people around him, and at this moment he leaned over to pick up the leaves.

Gao Cheng's eyes were excellent, and he had vaguely seen words on the leaves in the dark, so he hurriedly took the leaves and walked into the study, while greeting Cui Jishu, "Uncle Zheng!" ”

Cui Jishu also hurriedly followed.

There are still lights on inside Tianyi Pavilion. Gao Cheng took the big maple leaf and took advantage of the bright light to take a closer look. Cui Jishu also came up behind him to watch. Written on it are crooked two lines of Chinese characters, "Flowers will bloom, things will come true, I will wait for you to come." ”

"Master?!" Gao Cheng blurted out.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from inside the low-hanging bed, and she seemed to be a little panicked.

Gao Cheng then remembered that Moonlight was still sleeping in his bed. He turned around and pushed Cui Jishu out.

"Lord Lang, you ......" Cui Jishu was pushed out of the door by him, staggering, and almost fell. He had just remembered it, too.

Gao Cheng closed the door. Seeing that he was locked out of the study, Cui Jishu stood firm and muttered to himself, "Master Lang, why do you have to do this? It's not like I don't know who you are. ”

Gao Cheng closed the door, turned around again, and said softly, "It's me." ”

"The eldest prince?" The sound of the moonlight came from inside again, this time much calmer. "Why is the eldest prince here?" As she spoke, she had already picked up a brocade tent embroidered with birds and trees.

Gao Cheng had already walked to the edge of the couch, sat down, pressed her shoulder, and signaled that she didn't have to stay. I could see the moonlight in the light and my hair was scattered, but there was no sign of sleep. Without waiting for her to speak, Gao Cheng said, "I have something to do and I'm going to leave for Yecheng immediately." In a day or two, when your injury is healed, the person arranged by Cui Jishu will send you back. He is always unpredictable in private, and you don't have to take it personally. I'm offended to make fun of you during the day. ”

Moonlight looked at him with big watery eyes, and she didn't respond for a while after listening to his words, which surprised her too much. After thinking about it, I understood what Gao Cheng meant.

Gao Cheng sat across from her, and there was not enough between the two. Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, he didn't say a word, and just looked at her like this. I only thought that her eyes were very beautiful, but suddenly I noticed that she was crying, so I wondered, "What's wrong?" Why are you crying again? ”

Moonlight said ruthlessly, "I don't return late at night, I'm afraid that my mother will miss me." ”

Gao Cheng really thought so, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that she was still a child, and raised his hand to help her wipe her tears and said, "You just have to sleep here." Someone has already reported to your mother. With that, he stood up, turned and walked outside, and said, "If there is a fate in the future, there will be a chance to see you again." If anything happens to you, and I am not there, let the slave and maid go and tell my wife. ”

Moonlight watched his vanishing back and the door closed by him, and the study fell silent again. His wife, his wife, yes, he already has a wife, I remember hearing that it was the lord's sister, Princess Feng Yi. The princess was the same age as her, and she was married to him at a young age.

At the door of the Manyun Pavilion Pavilion, Cui Jishu and Cui Xian had already arranged everything.

Gao Cheng stroked Princess Feng Yi's hand as if no one was around, "It's so cold, Your Highness is wearing very little, and Ah Cheng and the others must not serve wholeheartedly." ”

"I know my husband's thoughts, and I just hope that you will go back quickly." Seeing Er Cui not far away, Yuan Zhonghua was very shy, and only whispered in Gao Cheng's ear, "I know that my husband is thinking about me in his heart, but he didn't see anyone else, so he forgot about me." Her voice was so low that only Gao Cheng could hear it.

"Your temperament is getting more and more supple, I have gained so much, how dare the lower officials forget?" Gao Cheng was already holding her hand, and at this time, he stretched out his other arm with great pity and stroked her weak shoulder. "Your Highness, rest assured, there is you and me, and there is you and I have you, and we don't distinguish between each other, how can we forget each other?"

Yecheng on the north bank of the Zhanghe River is actually a veritable ancient city. A few times Qi Henggong, a few Wei Wenhou, and a few Hu Han country names were all passing clouds and smoke, and they dispersed with the wind. At the end of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao's official victory over Yuan Shao, he built the capital according to Yecheng. Later, there was a popular Tongque Terrace scenic spot and a joke about "taking two Qiao in the southeast".

Tongquetai survives the catastrophe in the prosperous red dust, and now the Tongquetai is alone in the barren grass under the sunset. Coming from the north, you can see this strange scene in the dusk from afar: when the village is scarce until there are none, and the vertical and horizontal traffic of Tian Mo is completely gone, it is an endless emptiness in front and back. It's just that there are many places with wild grass, and some of them are as high as people's lives. There are also small roads that are as chaotic as silk nets, all of which are stepped on by people who walk. Further south, the grass gradually fell into disarray, followed by scattered ruins. And then to the south is a large puddle hidden in the wild grass, which makes people feel unfathomable.

Bypassing the puddle and further south, there are gradually more pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions, but almost all of them are a corner and a half, and there is no complete one. At this time, I saw that there was a high platform not far to the south. You can see the stone stairs that wind up the high platform. It was so tall that it required effort to look up, and the pavilion had three floors. Although the third layer only has a pedestal and a broken fence, and I don't know how many layers there are when it is complete, even this existing one already gives people the majestic feeling of reaching out to pluck the stars in the sky.

At this moment, under the sunset, the person standing on the ruined pavilion was actually the prime minister.

Only by standing on it can you know that because of the topography and this pavilion, this is the highest place on the north bank of the Zhanghe River. Standing here, you can overlook the entire Yecheng, and occasionally because of the sparkling flickering, it seems that you can see the Zhanghe River. Is Yecheng at his feet, or the entire Great Wei, or the history of the past few hundred years?

Gao Huan has been standing here for a long time. He had never felt such a sense of desolation in his heart. Talking to his heart alone, will he even be afraid? For the place on which he stands is so high that it is the target of all eyes. If you are ruined, not only will you be like powder, but your descendants will never be able to turn over.

Suddenly, his expression relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel a smile on his lips, and he felt great comfort in his heart, and blurted out, "Anu...... You're late......"

Gao Cheng knelt down behind his father, and for a while the sour heat welled up in his heart, "It turned out that I always thought that Grandpa liked Mengding tea, and in order to wait for someone to bring tea, I came late." It is the son's fault to treat the small as the big and leave the important things aside. His voice trembled slightly.

Gao Huan slowly turned around and looked at his son kneeling in front of him, everything could not be hidden from his eyes. Sighing slowly and deeply, he said, "Anu, you shouldn't have come. ”

"Whether it should be or not is not something that the son has to think about, the son only knows that he must come, and has no choice." Gao Cheng knelt in front of his father, and for the first time he really felt heavy in his heart.

Gao Huan walked over slowly, put his hand on his son's shoulder, patted it gently, and then stroked it again, as if he wanted to test whether his son's shoulder was strong enough, but he couldn't help but show pity. This is his son, the heir who has never changed in his heart, who knows what kind of contradictions he has in his heart? It was because of this son that he had great comfort in his heart that it was worth it to take the risk of doing everything. But he is so reluctant, and he is so unavoidable, it is inevitable that he will feel sorry for his son.

Above the temple, he could not lead the crowd to kill alone, as his father, he had to help him get on the horse and give him a ride. Only by letting his son step on his shoulders can he get on the horse steadily, and he can help him stand up. When he is swaying and has no roots, the sharpness to kill him is a must. And now, it is also necessary to help him take root and grow into a towering tree.
