In the late autumn morning, there is a faint fog, with a little dampness and cold. It seems to be wrestling with the rising sun in the sky, trying to block the warm light. Unfortunately, although the autumn sun has lost its fiery temper of summer, the heavy brilliance is not something that the white fog can stop, but is slowly dispersed as time passes.

When the sun shines through the fog, through the window, into the house. Wang Xu unconsciously rubbed his eyes, turned over and wanted to sleep again. But this action seemed to anger the sun in the sky, and the light became stronger and stronger, shaking Wang Xu's eyes.

Finally, Wang Xu still couldn't resist the alarm clock of nature, and involuntarily woke up from his deep sleep. His eyes closed hard, and then they opened suddenly, and his hands scratched at his hair unnaturally.

"Whew!" Slowly exhaling a turbid breath, Wang Xu shook his head a little dizzy, the feeling after a hangover was really not very comfortable.

Lying quietly for a while, his head has recalled what happened yesterday, but how he came back, but it was a little vague, it felt like Zhang Jing came back with his back, but it seemed that he remembered walking back.

After a long time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. I was really wronged by the candle night in this cave room, and I got drunk in a daze.

However, thinking that today was the first day after the wedding, although Wang Xu wanted to turn over and continue to sleep, he still had to turn over and sit up. "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! Prepare hot water for me to freshen up. ”

With Wang Xu's call, Xiao Yu's sweet laughter suddenly came from outside the door. "Huh! The master waited, and the slave and maid quickly brought water. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was not in a hurry, because he felt a little top-heavy, so he sat on the edge of the bed and was distracted.

However, after a while, Xu Shu, who had changed back into her usual outfit, walked in abruptly and said with a smile: "Husband, you're awake!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu, who came back to his senses, turned his head to see Xu Shu, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Yes!" I just woke up, but where did you go early in the morning? ”

"Oh! I went to the VIP courtyard just now to take a look at Cai Wenji. With that, Xu Shu had already walked in, went to the side of the closet, and picked out today's clothes for Wang Xu.

But Wang Xu was shocked by Xu Shu's words, and it took a long time to react, looking at Xu Shu who was rummaging in the tall special wardrobe, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Which Cai Wenji?" ”

"Who else? It's Cai Yan and Cai Wenji, Cai Yong's daughter! Xu Shutou didn't go back to the tunnel.

"She's in the VIP courtyard now?" Wang Xu asked in disbelief.

"yes!" Saying that, Xu Shu seemed to have found her clothes, closed the wardrobe door, and walked over. "Alright, get up, I'll help you put on your clothes first. There are still a lot of things to do today, how can those guests who come from afar not make arrangements? ”

"Oh! Good. Although Wang Xu was still thinking about Cai Wenji, he immediately stood up, stretched out his hands, and waited for Xu Shu to change his clothes. Wife, what's going on with this Cai Wenji? How did I not know she was coming? ”

"How could you not know that you didn't arrange people to wait in your study? And then I don't know if you forgot it, or what, anyway, people have been waiting there until late. It's still the food that Zhang Yao brought to them, otherwise there would be no one to greet them, how rude! Xu Shu said suspiciously while helping Wang Xu get dressed.

Wang Xu suddenly remembered that when Yang Xu first arrived yesterday, he told him that there was a mysterious guest, and he arranged to wait in the study first. I planned to go over to see it after the wedding ceremony, but after the cumbersome etiquette and sending Xu Shu back to the room, I forgot about it.

I didn't expect it to be Cai Yong's father and daughter? I was going to Nanyang to inquire, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to come. Immediately, he couldn't help but say: "Oops! Look at me, I've forgotten about it, quick, I'll wash up, and I'll go and make amends right away. ”

Seeing his anxious look, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile and gave a big roll of his eyes. "You're embarrassed to say that they waited late last night. You get drunk, and when you come back and pass by the study, you finally don't wait any longer. Later, I asked Xiao Min and Xiao Ling to take them over to rest. ”

"Hey!" Wang Xu suddenly sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head.

However, then he said strangely: "Wife, since they came mysteriously, Yang Xu directly let me receive them, and they must not want to be known by others, after all, they are now in the period of escape." In this case, how can I tell you who you are? ”

"Stupid! My brother and Dian Wei know each other! Saying that, Xu Shu sneered: "Because they have never revealed their identities, although I asked Sister Zhang Yao to greet the maids, I didn't dare to arrange it randomly, and I always thought that you deliberately made them wait." It wasn't until you got drunk at night that I realized maybe you forgot. ”

Saying that, Xu Shu had already finished dressing Wang Xu, gently fastened the belt, took a step back to see that there was no problem, and then smiled and continued: "Because I don't know this person, and the person I don't know can only be met when you have been out for more than two years." So, after washing your hands and feet and getting into bed, I'll let Dian Wei recognize you. Although he was also drunk, he was not very powerful, and he recognized the identities of the two after a few glances. ”

"Oh! Well, who else knows about this? Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry! At present, only Dian Wei and I know, and Dian Wei is there, and I also asked him not to talk to anyone. ”

"That's good." Wang Xu nodded reassuringly.

"Master, hot water came. Dishes and utensils for gargling were also brought along the way. While the two were talking, Xiao Yu walked in with a large plate with a copper basin for water and a mouthwash utensil. Seeing that Xu Shu was also there, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Madame is also back, do you need to eat?" ”

"Not for now, wait a minute!" Xu Shu smiled and shook her head.

"Hmmm! That's nothing, so I went out to help, and I packed a lot of things today. Xiaoyu smiled.

"Okay, there you go!" Wang Xu nodded immediately, and only after Xiaoyu went out did he wash up.

After applying hot water to my face for a while, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable, and the grogginess after the hangover was much less. immediately smiled at Xu Shu, then left the house quickly and rushed to the VIP courtyard to find Cai Yong.

I have to say that Xu Shu is getting smarter and smarter, knowing that Cai Yong has a special identity, he did not arrange to go to the post house like everyone else, but let him rest in the VIP courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the VIP courtyard, I immediately heard a long piano sound, but the artistic conception was sometimes happy and sad, and there was a faint conflict, as if the person playing was very conflicted in his heart. Especially with the fog that has not yet dissipated around it, it really has a unique charm.

Don't think about it, there is absolutely no one in the house who has such attainments. And Guo Jia has already had his own mansion and moved out from here, so the person who plays is either Cai Yong or Cai Wenji.

At such a time, hearing such a piano sound, Wang Xu involuntarily stopped and quietly appreciated it. The maid who passed by suddenly saw him and immediately stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by him waving his hand. Smile and signal him to leave alone.

After listening quietly for a long time, when the sound of the piano gradually died down and was about to end, a soft sigh could not help but come from the hall.

It's a female voice! Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately reacted, it must be Cai Wenji playing the piano. Thinking of the gentle and lively little Cai Yan a few years ago, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile and walked over quickly.

"Sister Yan, I didn't expect you to have such a Yaxing early in the morning!"

With Wang Xu's voice, the sound of the piano in the hall that was at the end suddenly became chaotic, "Bell!" After two murmurs, it stopped abruptly.

Before he could walk to the room where the sound of the piano sounded, a person had suddenly walked out next to him, it was Cai Yong.

It's just that just one glance has surprised Wang Xu, because in just over three years, Cai Yong has become even older, his temples are white, and his forehead is wrinkled. He was only in his fifties, but he looked like he was in his sixties.

"Haha! Wang Ziyang. Because when Wang Xu got married, he used his own words in the invitation, so Cai Yong directly called his words.

"Cai Gong!" Wang Xu was also very happy, and even walked up quickly to greet him and bowed.

At the same time, the room where the sound of the piano came out just now also instantly walked out of a beautiful girl, quiet and indifferent, quite a dusty temperament. The moment he saw Wang Xu, he was obviously a little excited, but he immediately restrained himself, and bowed very ladylike and said, "Cai Yan greets General Wang!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately glanced at Cai Yan reproachfully. "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you have forgotten the friendship of the year? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Wang Xu to ask such a question, Cai Yan was a little at a loss, and said hurriedly: "Yan'er didn't mean this, it's just ...... Just ......"

Seeing that she just didn't come out for a long time, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, and took over the words: "Okay, since you haven't forgotten the friendship of the year, then don't use such a raw name, unless you look down on me." ”

"Yan'er doesn't dare!" Hearing this, Cai Yan immediately bowed slightly, which can be regarded as an apology.

smiled slightly, in order not to embarrass Cai Yan again, Wang Xu did not continue. immediately turned his head and said to Cai Yong, who was smiling: "Cai Gong, I bothered in the early morning, and I came to apologize for yesterday's incident." ”

said, without waiting for Cai Yong to answer, he had already rushed to explain: "I don't know who Yang Taishou said first, I am very puzzled, and I want to wait for the salute to be completed before receiving it." But later, he was busy with the wedding ceremony, and he forgot about it, making Cai Gongkong wait for a long time, which was really a sin. This morning, I heard about the cause and effect before and after, so I rushed to apologize, and I hope that Cai Gong will forgive me. ”

Hearing this, Cai Yong laughed and shook his head: "Haha...... Ziyang, you don't have to be so polite. At the time of marriage, there are a lot of etiquette, and Ziyang is already in a high position at a young age, full of guests and friends, so it is naturally difficult to withdraw. ”

"Thank you Cai Gong for your understanding." Wang Xu arched his hand.

Cai Yong smiled, but he didn't want to say more, so he couldn't help but point to the room and said, "I don't know if I can go into the house and talk about it?" ”

"Absolutely!" As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the house.

After the two of them sat down, Cai Yan, who came in closely, gently sat on Cai Yong's side.

Cai Yong looked at Wang Xu, and then took the lead in praising it: "Ziyang, after three years, your demeanor is even more than in the past!" ”

"Where, Cai Gong has won the award."

"This is not boasting! I'm telling the truth. Saying that, Cai Yong let out a long sigh and slowly continued: "You are young now, you have done this, and your future is unlimited!" ”

"Huh! Cai Gong doesn't want to praise it so much, he can have the present in the next, it is just due to fate, and he can't be called capable. After speaking, Wang Xu didn't want to be polite with Cai Yong anymore, so he immediately changed the topic and asked curiously: "By the way, isn't Cai Gong in Jiangdong?" How did you come to Jingzhou? ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Cai Yong looked at Wang Xu with a smile, but he didn't hide it. "It's a long story, because Yang Xu and I are close friends, and we have relied on his support to survive all these years. Therefore, in addition to avoiding disasters in Jiangdong, I often go to Yang's house to stay for a while. More than half a month ago, I happened to be in Nanyang with the sheep to continue to be a companion, and when I heard about your wedding, I wanted to come over to say hello to you. So, I quietly followed. ”

Saying that, Cai Yong paused, and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that you also know my situation, so you can't give a congratulatory gift." I wanted to send a congratulatory message, but I felt ashamed when I thought of Ziyang's talent, so I came empty-handed. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu's eyes suddenly widened, and he shook his head again and again: "What is Gong Cai talking about?" It is the greatest blessing for you to be here in person, so why do you need a gift? Those gold, silver and jewelry are just things outside the body, how can they have the pain of Cai Gong's thousands of miles of travel? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Cai Yong to answer, he already answered frankly: "Cai Gong, don't hide it, I was looking for you." If it weren't for my father's urging for marriage, I'm afraid I would have set off. ”

"Oh? Ziyang, but what's the matter? Hearing this, Cai Yong was surprised, obviously puzzled by Wang Xu looking for him.

"Cai Gong, you were persecuted by eunuchs, so that you are leading today. Now that you are getting older, running away is not an option, but you still need to find a safe place to live for a long time. Now, as the general of Zhennan and the governor of Jingnan Military Administration, I want to take you over, at least to keep you safe and take care of each other. Moreover, this Jingnan is remote, and no one will notice it, which is far better than living in seclusion in Jiangdong. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong was stunned and looked at Wang Xu in surprise. It took a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes were full of tears, and he sighed: "Hey! In the past 11 years, my family and I have traveled all over the world, and we are used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people. Although the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, although the old friends all turned a blind eye and let me escape with my life, few dared to support them, let alone take them in. Only the sheep will help me through the tribulation. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Yong's face was already full of old tears, and the vicissitudes of life could not be explained. "I didn't expect that! Unexpected! I didn't know Ziyang for a long time, and I have done it so far, and their friendship is far beyond the friendship of decades. ”

chattered to himself for a long time, but Cai Yong suddenly burst into laughter, tears sliding down his cheeks, not only did not make people feel undeserved, but added to the vicissitudes of life and touched people's hearts.

After a while, Cai Yongcai took a deep breath, but said unexpectedly calmly: "I can't hide it, in addition to my sincere blessings, I also have the idea of becoming a good general and deepening the relationship." It was originally to make more loyal ministers and good generals, so that there would be a day when grievances would be snowed in the future. But the general treats me so kindly, how can Cai Yong add impurities to this pure kindness, and would rather die than die. ”

As he spoke, Cai Yong looked at Wang Xu deeply, his face full of determination. The general has this heart, Cai Yong is grateful, so he told him everything, I just hope that the general will not blame. As for the matter hidden in Jingnan, Cai Yong will not do it, and he will never drag down the general. With this friendship in my heart, what is the pity of dying? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Xu to answer, Cai Yong stood up suddenly, turned his head and said: "Yan'er, I feel guilty for my father, and I have no shame to face the general, let's go!" ”
