In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn, the air is cold in early winter, the birds have already migrated south, and there is no insect song in the capital at this time. As soon as Yang Chiyu opened the door of Cui Fuping's room, he shouted loudly: "Fuping, come and see my new work." ”

The person at the desk shook his hand in shock, and the carving knife scratched her hand, "If you don't come sooner or later, do you deliberately choose this time to dismantle my signboard?" ”

"I'd like to see what makes you so proud," she put down what she was holding, strode over and snatched it from him, and put it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully, "Yes, a few bits of jade are reasonably dotted between the flowing silver lines, and this arm is much more aura than your bastard brother." ”

Yang Chiyu, who heard the praise, was happy, but saw that the man returned to the desk with a cold face and started the work in his hand again.

"What, you obviously said you were going to teach me, but now you're busy by yourself," Chi Yu, who was snubbed, snorted and walked over, "I also want to see what kind of object you are upside down." ”

As soon as the end of the note fell, he widened his mouth and enlarged his eyes to watch her drop the last sword, only to see a translucent white ball sandwiched between the white and yellow jade ring, and the ball was wrapped in a touch of red.

"It's amazing, Fuping, this red doesn't look like the texture of the jade itself, how did you get in?"

"Ahem, I'm thirsty."

He quickly poured a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said respectfully, "You are great, you are the best, so you can be merciful and tell me." ”

She took a slow sip, handed him the things in her hand, and said, "Put the red bean in two halves of jade, and then carve a jade ring to inlay this ball in it, and it's done." ”

"Hey! I didn't expect this seemingly simple method to be not simple at all, it will fall out if you loosen it, and you can't settle in if you tighten it," he looked at the steady hanging ornament in the palm of his hand, and shook his head, "With such craftsmanship, I can capitalize 10,000 words in my heart!" It's just that how did you come to have such an ingenious idea as An Hongdou? ”

"Didn't you forget the day Lord Yuanyuan came?"

"Linglong An red bean, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bone," Yang Chiyu saw her smiling very proudly, but his face sank to the ground, "Aren't you going to give this acacia bean to the county lord of Yuanyuan?" ”

At this time, Yang Chimu, who was holding the brocade box in his hand, stopped by the window, covered the box with the other hand, lowered his eyebrows, turned around and left.

"What are you thinking," she rubbed Yang Chiyu's forehead, and took back the accessories by the way, but looked out the window with a serious face, "Senior brother is here"

Yang Chiyu was stunned and withdrew his arm, walked outside, saw that the courtyard was empty, and turned around and said, "It's you who are too careful." ”

However, she clearly heard the footsteps of her senior brother, how could she hear such a familiar voice.

When she took the acacia pendant to look for him, it was the next day. She thought that when he saw this red bean pendant, he would naturally understand his mind, although she was apprehensive, she took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to open the door.

The room was empty, except for the desk, which contained a brocade box and a letter.

"Damn senior brother, it's not good to keep anything, you have to learn what letter Chi Yu left, and bully me for not being literate."

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box, and when he saw the two safety buckles, his eyes were stunned in surprise, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

The autumn wind blew off a few fallen leaves, and Cui Fuping lowered his face when he looked at the pendant on Chu Jiu's neck. I have a lot of feelings.

"The one that the girl wore around her neck was also attached in this way. It's just that the thing is the stuff of the shogunate, but this technique is somewhere else. ”

"There's no need to be in a hurry to argue," Chu Jiu looked at the heroic Cui Fuping, and actually had a look of listening to the play, "It's not too late to talk about it when the story is over." ”

"Ah Jiu, aren't you here to check your own background, why are you taking care of other people's affairs again?"

Chu Jiu leaned on the railing and looked at him, the two cinnabar moles at the corners of his mouth smiled beautifully, "Don't listen to gossip and be a vain person, empty, how did this Yang Chimu get the infamy of killing his junior brother, aren't you curious at all?"

Tan Yingkong nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally accompanied her to continue to look lively.

"Yang Chiyu, you are talking, senior brother, what did he say," she shook Yang Chiyu, who was stunned, and was very anxious in her heart, "Don't be stunned, you are talking." ”

"A pair of peace buckles is a token of the handover of the heirs of the shokusai."

"This is known to all of our disciples of the Shokusai, you should pick the key points," she closed the brocade box, her originally impatient face suddenly sank, and she clutched the carved brocade box of agarwood.

"Senior brother said that the imperial court came to the holy decree the day before yesterday, and he wanted to marry the lord of Yuanyuan to the heir of Makusai," he ran to the bookshelf like crazy, opened the bright yellow holy decree, and looked at Cui Fuping with a desolate look, "This is actually true, it is true." ”

"What about Senior Brother? Did he ever say where he went, and why did he take out the peace buckle that his master had passed on to him for no reason? ”

Yang Chiyu lowered his eyebrows, thoughtful in his heart, his eyes suddenly lit up and he tightly tugged at the corner of Cui Fuping's clothes, "My brother, he said that for the wedding of the county lord of Yuanyuan, he will go to the south to find the most beautiful kingfisher to create a unique emerald hairpin for her." But this ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already run out of the house.

How did she forget, the pair of peace buckles is also a token given by the heirs of Makusai to the other half on the day of marriage. In order to express, the meaning of peace and joy. Even that sentence was said to the lord of Yuanyuan, even if it was so, now he wanted to pass the curtain to her? No, she had to ask him for clarification.

"Exquisite dice and red beans, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones. The county lord's penmanship is more chic, but I don't know which young man made the county lord lovesick to such an extent? ”

When she heard this, she was pulled away by Yang Chiyu, and now that she thinks about it, the senior brother is very special to this county lord, and she can't reach it just by responding to her needs!

She said that she wanted a golden arm, and he immediately built it for her overnight without saying a word; She said that she was going to enjoy the lotus flowers, and the senior brother who didn't close her eyes for a day and a night went out without complaining, so forget it, the senior brother had to pull himself.

It was the second time she had walked on the Jiuqu Kong Bridge, and there was not a single lotus in the pond in the autumn breeze.

Looking at the withered and fallen lotus leaves in the pond, Cui Fuping said angrily: "If you want to enjoy the lotus flowers and keep a good summer day, you have to choose the autumn season, the remnants of the flowers and willows may also be able to see a few petals and a few stump branches, and what is there to see about the dead branches and leaves of this pool?" ”

"Since the sentence 'leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain' resounded throughout the capital, the people of the world have left the residual lotus of the pond, just to listen to the sound of the rain falling in the autumn, although it is not as prosperous as the willow green, but it has a unique flavor," Yang Chi looked at the withered lotus leaves in the pond, and then rubbed Cui Fuping's forehead, "You, you only know how to teach Chi Yu to carve knives every day, but don't you know how to learn some poetry from him?" ”

"Since Senior Brother acquiesced to Chi Yu joining Makusai, why did he force him to take any official career?" She put her hands across her chest, "Besides, his jade making skills are not inferior to those of his senior brother back then, wouldn't it be good to teach him more skills?" ”

"You taught him the craft, not me. Therefore, he is not yet a member of the Makusai. Even if Chi Yu's ability in this area surpasses that of the master, I still won't teach him a knife and a method," he said resolutely, turned around and walked towards the pavilion in front of him, stopping step by step, his steps were heavy, "As the so-called unknown life and death, I don't even know the origin of the residual lotus, no matter how high my ability in this area is, I can't appreciate the beauty of this life, so what's there to envy?" ”

"If you don't want to teach him, forget it, why take the opportunity to sarcastically mock me, what is not the source, I think that beauty is such a thing as not asking the source." She slapped the fence by the bridge angrily, and raised her slender neck with disdain, "Once you die, there is nothing, and since you can't be envied alive, it's better to die." What's more, such a major event as life and death, how can you understand it in a few words? ”

He was startled, and his feet were frozen in place, and the rain began to fall, and the wooden bridge deck made a little splash.

He, the junior brother, was really speechless, he stepped on the heel on the board, and entered the pavilion with a helpless but good-looking smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he turned around, he saw the Lord of Yuanyuan County who appeared at some point holding an umbrella.

"I was going to invite two of you to accompany me to be vassal, but I didn't expect that one of you was more talented than the other, which made me, the host, a little discouraged," the lord of Yuanyuan County entered the pavilion with a smile, "Brother Chimu, seeing that you are a busy person, I will make a long story short." ”

"When did the county lord be so polite to me?"

As soon as he took back the umbrella, he saw Yang Chimu take off his cloak and put it on the county lord's body, smiling lightly and tying the knot.

"It's not a big deal," Yuan Yuan glanced at Cui Fuping, turned around and smiled brightly, "I just thought, if I can wear a little emerald hairpin to marry like your mother, I will be satisfied." ”

Cui Fuping saw that the county lord lowered his head slightly, but the senior brother, who had always been serious, replied very softly, "It's really not a big deal, so I answered you." ”

is so obedient, if you don't like her, senior brother, I can't find any reason. The people who accompanied the remnants and listened to the sound of the rain were afraid that they didn't want to be there.

"I suddenly remembered that there was still something to be done, so I took my leave."

After that, she turned around and ran into the rain, around the Jiuqukong Bridge, she only saw the vast withered lotus leaves in front of her showing a cold meaning, and the raindrops slid down her face, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

Listening to the sound of the rain, I'm afraid it's just an excuse for people to feel sorry for themselves. What is the feeling of suffering and desolation in pairs? It's just that the bleakness of the autumn wind and cold rain, how much is the lotus leaf willing to bear?

The first snow of the year fell, and there were few insects and pedestrians everywhere in the capital, and dots of white were scattered on the withered yellow ground like goose feathers.

Cui Fuping, who had left the city gate, looked for a remote place, and turned into a green kingfisher, its wings shining blue, and flew towards the south in the cold air.

Senior brother, do you know that our kingfishers go to the south in autumn, but the fairy mountain, how can you find it?
