Chapter 55: Freemasonry
Chang Liu knew that Ning Zhiyuan couldn't get along with his brothers, and seeing that Ning Chaoge had no intention of leaving, he said again: "His Royal Highness King Rui, I will make medicinal soup later!" I'll get you ready first! ”
"The fourth brother's wedding is approaching, I want the fourth brother to have a deep affection, this wish comes true, and he will definitely be a good husband and father in the future!" Ning Chaoge ignored these words, and just laughed.
"Thank you for your kind words, second brother." Ning Zhiyuan bowed politely.
"It's just that Du Yiyi has a perverse temperament and a flamboyant personality, and he has a deep love for Shen Ke, and he is just worried about his brother, and in the future, Du Yiyi ............" Ning Chaoge raised his eyebrows.
"It's not a bother for the second brother." Ning Zhiyuan answered.
"It's true that I'm thinking too much, fourth brother, take care, second brother is leaving!" Ning Chao Gehaha smiled, and without waiting for Ning Zhiyuan to get up to see him off, he got up and brushed his sleeves and turned to leave.
knew that his marriage would not go so smoothly, Ning Zhiyuan had already prepared in his heart, Ning Chaoge's two words were not painful or itchy, but it could be seen that he was jealous, of course Ning Zhiyuan would not go to his heart.
"Chang Liu, do you know why I have to marry Du Yiyi?" Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly smiled.
"I don't know."
"It's a secret!" Ning Zhiyuan seemed to be very satisfied with what he sold, laughed and got up and went to the back hall, he wanted to marry Du Yiyi, but one of the reasons was that he wanted to compete with the sky, but the second reason was that no one would know.
Of course, it has nothing to do with love, and it is impossible to have love between people who have never met and have never crossed paths, which is a secret. And now is not the time to uncover this secret.
In everyone's heart, there will be a secret, Du Yiyi's secret is not her love for Shen Ke, but her soul from another time and space, Ning Zhiyuan's secret is not her love for Du Yiyi, but the past that goes deeper, and he also has a secret.
For love, Du Yiyi has the decisiveness to jump off the city tower, and Ning Zhiyuan has the determination to give up the health of years of long-term treatment, but he has no in the world, he just treats this as a secret and buries it in his heart.
The dead Fan Yushi is his father's old friend, his amiable and respectable uncle, but he did not blame Du Yiyi like a scholar in the world, in his study, Du Yiyi's letter was sandwiched in his favorite hardcover poetry book, on his waist, Du Yiyi's peony petals sent by someone to make a sachet made of spices hung there, and that unforgettable shadow was hidden in his heart by him, lingering in his mind for a long time.
The literati have arrogance and high spirits, Du Yiyi's jump, most people only see despicable love, but he sees her bravery, look at the world from a different angle, black and white are actually just upside down, he likes her, from the time when he was in awe of her jump.
He hoped that she would respect herself and cherish herself, but she replied to him with a provocative word, his stubbornness and paranoia began to compete with him from that time, from the agitated generals at that time, to the later marriage proposal and then to the later rejection, between the ups and downs, he fell into the mud.
Her perverseness seems to him to be straightforward and free, in his eyes, everything is good, the only bad thing is that she is about to become someone else's wife.
When he heard those rumors, he would rather be ridiculed to explain for her, when Fan Yushi died, he ran between the Shen Mansion and the Fan Mansion, which was indeed a bit silly, but he was very stupid.
Although he didn't dare to confess his heart, he used his actions to maintain his love.
That gray flower that has long bloomed but will never see the light is his love.
He was thinking that if he hadn't been nosy, maybe he wouldn't have gotten into a quagmire! But fate has always made if not maybe these words appeared.
"I don't know what to do, I go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born and cannot be resurrected, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not lovely. ”
Putting down the thick ink pen in his hand, he held the yellowed rice paper high, and the sunlight hit the rice paper through the half-open flower window, casting a grid of shadows.
Yesterday he went to listen to the play with his friends, and listened to a play "The Peony Pavilion", this sentence is his favorite, and today's interest is prominent, so he wrote it down with a wave, and he doesn't know what to do, and he is deeply in love, if he is like this, it is!
"Childe, Childe!" A small guy stood outside the house, and behind the little guy, stood a handsome boy dressed in white and tied with a jade belt around his waist. "Young Master Yang is visiting!"
"Hurry up and let Yang Gongzi in!" Yan Xinglu hurriedly put down the paper in his hand, stroked his forehead, straightened his clothes, and walked.
The little guy outside the window respectfully made a gesture of invitation to the handsome boy behind him, and led him into the study.
The handsome boy just stepped into the threshold, and Yan Xinglu stretched out his hands to meet him. "Brother Yang, don't come unharmed!"
The boy hurriedly grabbed Yan Xinglu's arm, stared at Yan Xinglu excitedly and said, "After a while, Brother Yan is still the same as the spring breeze at the beginning!" ”
Yan Xinglu made a gesture of invitation and invited people into the house, and asked the little maid to serve tea, and when the people were seated, he said: "Brother Yang, if it wasn't for the fetters I had at the beginning, I would have traveled to Shuzhou with you, didn't you say that you would come back in a year?" How can it be so fast? ”
"Li Guogong's matter, my father was nervous, so he repaired the book and summoned me back, I just arrived yesterday, and I was still thinking about Brother Yan in my heart, so I came to visit!"
"Li Guogong's incident has made the people in the capital panic, Cangming Gongcai, you will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and I am afraid that you will have something to do outside, Brother Yang, what have you gained after half a year?"
This handsome son is not an ordinary person, it is Yang Huaijin, the second son of Cangming Gong, because he was excluded by his eldest brother, he traveled to Shuzhou half a year ago, and half planned to return after a year, but now he was recalled to Beijing by a letter from Cangming Gong.
"Shuzhou is close to the sea, and the scenery is not comparable to that of Jingshi, Brother Yan, if you have time, you should also go and see. Wealth is arrogant, immersed in Beijing all day long, sooner or later it will be the same stream, only mountains and rivers can wash away the copper smell and pedantic gas of my body! Yang Huaijin took the teacup presented by the little servant and took a sip.
"The floating sky is far away from the sea, the death of the boat is light, this kind of scenery, I have not tasted it, I have not walked in the world, Brother Yang said that he was not tied to the boat, and the pride of the sea was full of ups and downs, and it still resounded in my ears!" Yan Xinglu stared at Yang Huaijin with a smile, with a bit of envy in his eyes.
"If Brother Yan is willing, we can travel the mountains and rivers side by side with swords, but such days are really short, and when I come back this time, I don't know when I will be able to leave!" Yang Huaijin sighed and lowered his head.
"Brother Yang doesn't have to be sentimental, when the wind is calm for a while, he can be ready to go."
"It's just that this storm and waves, but it won't be calm, from An Guogong ten years ago to the current Li Guogong, the Holy Ancestor will be the founder of the country's ten meritorious Tiger will be crowned the prince, this is to show the emperor's grace, blessed and enjoy the same hardship, but now the Holy Ancestor has passed away, the ancestors have also been feathered, that is, to the hard-working Li Guogong Li Xian is a quick knife to cut through the mess, our remaining five meritorious families, the future is confused!"
A sip of tea, a sigh, a handsome son, can be dyed with a trace of decadence and sadness.
"At the beginning, the Holy Ancestor was awarded the title of Meritorious Prince, and the land rewarded accounted for one-third of Dahe, and the emperor wanted to promote land reform, so you naturally bore the brunt of it, Brother Yang, you are not a person who loves wealth and nobility, why don't you persuade Cangming to dedicate land to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters?"
"Brother Yan, although I don't want to be rich and unrestrained, but the foundation laid down by my ancestors, I am willing to give up, but my father and brother can't give up, offering land can avoid a temporary disaster, but it can't eliminate a lifetime of disasters, Brother Yan doesn't know, these years the meritorious family only covers the sky with one hand, most of the children in the clan hold important positions in the court, and the people also rely on the power of the family to monopolize the trading of some businesses, the emperor wants to reform, naturally, these are to be cut off, hey!"
The Holy Ancestor is very caring and tolerant of these meritorious families, and with more than 50 years of development, these meritorious families have reached out not only in the court but also in all walks of life.
"And what are you going to do?" Yang Huaijin is the second son of Duke Cangming, and it is his brother who inherits the title of the family, Yang Huaijin is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not seek wealth and wealth, and it has nothing to do with him whether he fights for power or not, but if Duke Cangming is punished by the emperor, he is a male in the family, and he will not be able to escape, thinking about the sons of Li Guogong............
"A family, of course, has to be in the same breath, and can only take one step at a time, Li Guogong's death has just caused an uproar in the capital, and the emperor should not be in a hurry to start at a moment." Yang Huaijin shook his head and sighed, stood up with his body propped up, walked to the flower window and saw those lines, but he paused involuntarily, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know what to do, I am in love, Brother Yan, have you met the beautiful woman you like in the past half a year?" ”
"Brother Yang, don't laugh, this is yesterday when I went to listen to "The Peony Pavilion", and I was touched for a while, so I wrote it down."
Although he answered like this, Yan Xinglu's somewhat panicked gaze did not escape Yang Huaijin's attention. "It's a beautiful woman with a heart that will have this feeling, Brother Yan, you are so embarrassed, even this has to be hidden from me!"
"Brother Yang laughed and laughed! If so, you'll be the first one to tell! Yan Xinglu smiled and walked to Yang Huaijin's side.
"This has to be counted, in fact, I don't hide it from Brother Yan, this time my father asked me to come back, in fact, he also wanted me to marry!"
"That's a good thing!"
"Brother Yan, I only want to tell you this, you can't spread it!" Yang Huaijin didn't see any joy on his face, but became solemn.
Yan Xinglu put away his banter, drove the little guy out and closed the door.
"This time in Shuzhou, I met a young lady, a young lady from a small family in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am like-minded, I have actually promised her that she will tell her parents when she returns to Beijing this time, and the eight sedan chairs are marrying her back, but ............"
Yang Huaijin shook his head.
"Cangming Gong doesn't agree?" Yan Xinglu and Yang Huaijin have been playmates who have grown up together since childhood, and he is the one who knows Yang Huaijin best.
"Not only did he agree, but he also reprimanded me, this time I just felt distressed, so I came to find Brother Yan to relieve my sorrows!"
Since Duke Cangming wants Yang Huaijin to marry, he naturally has already fallen in love with his daughter-in-law, and the marriage between time has always been about the right person, how could the young lady of a small family in Jiangnan get into the eyes of Duke Cangming! Looking at Yang Huaijin with a bitter face in front of him, Yan Xinglu's sadness that he had finally suppressed surfaced again, he and this good brother really sympathized with each other.
