Chapter 257: Opening
Princess Jinyang looked at her shining eyes, obviously full of joke-like smiles, and she shuddered for some reason.
Noticing that his speech might have scared the child, Zhu Luan smiled, stopped mentioning the past, and looked outside.
The snow outside was getting tighter and tighter, and my eyes were white.
"It seems that there is really no going back now." Zhu Luan smiled.
"What about at night? Stay here? Princess Jinyang asked.
"Well, before I went out, I thought there should be snow, and I told my family that if the snow is too big, I won't go back to the mountains." Zhu Luan said.
"You know it's going to snow heavily today and you're still running to me," Princess Jinyang looked at her with a confused expression, "I really don't know what you're thinking." ”
Zhu Luan lowered her gaze, since she got up this morning, she had an indescribable premonition, after learning what day it was, this premonition became even stronger, in order to avoid this premonition, she went up the mountain to see her sister in advance.
"Recently, there have been more people visiting the British Mansion," Zhu Luan looked at Princess Jinyang and smiled, "I don't know why many people I don't know want to see me by name, so I came to you to hide and be clean." ”
"I don't know if there is a ghost," Princess Jinyang glared at her, "If you have the courage to do it, don't hide, if you want to hide in your own house." ”
"You risked your life to save that kid, don't tell me that he can't even help you stop someone," Princess Jinyang said with a look of disgust.
"Cousin has helped me cover up," Zhu Luan said with a smile, but then she looked at the silver-covered mountains outside again, not knowing what she was thinking, and said lightly, "But there are some people that he can't stop." ”
"Some? Who is it? Princess Jinyang looked confused
"I don't know," Zhu Luan looked up at the gray sky, "I hope I'm thinking too much." ”
……
……
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, the whole Huizhou city is plunged into tranquility, most of the people stay at home to bake the fire and chat, there are few cars and horses on the road, even the hawkers who originally walked through the alleys are gone, such a heavy snowy day, even the birds are hidden, and there is no business to be doomed.
As the so-called thousands of paths and people disappear, thousands of mountains and birds fly away. And on the road outside the city of Huizhou, the smooth snow is printed with thick rut marks, and a horse-drawn carriage parked on the side of the road looks particularly eye-catching.
There were two men standing beside the carriage, both dressed in big hats, standing straight, even if they couldn't see their faces clearly, their figures were pleasing to the eye, and they became a bright color in the snowstorm.
The shorter of the two men was bowing to the tall man.
"Big brother, have a nice trip." Duan Lizheng looked at the man in front of him and said sincerely.
The last time he left from Shendu, it was his eldest brother who saw him off, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before it was time for him to see off his brother.
"Well, it's okay to send it here, Zhiyun is still waiting for you to go back at home." Duan Haochu nodded, hesitated, raised his hand and touched his brother's head, "You prepare well, I'm waiting for you to come back to participate in the exam." ”
"Well," Duan Lizheng laughed, "I will definitely be like a big brother and bring another Xie Yuan back for our Duan family," after speaking, he seemed to remember something, "Oh, no, it's two." ”
The young man raised two fingers and said, "I can take the literary test and the martial arts test at the same time, and the goal is to get two Xie Yuan." ”
"Ambitious," Duan Haochu looked at the high-spirited younger brother in front of him and laughed, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”
Duan Lizheng nodded. Then the young man showed a hesitant look on his face, and saluted Duan Haochu again, "This time, it's really hard for my brother to go back and forth, I will advise my mother not to send such messy family letters." ”
Duan Haochu looked at his younger brother in front of him, his eyes became dark, "You don't know about this matter, so I don't blame you." ”
"What happened to Sima Hao before, in case the eldest brother returned to the imperial court, His Majesty will blame ......" Duan Lizheng stared into his brother's eyes and said.
"Now you know you're scared?" Duan Haochu asked with a smile.
Duan Lizheng's eyes were complicated, "I can be responsible for my own actions, but if it affects the eldest brother, I will ......"
"I understand," Duan Haochu interrupted him, "You don't have to worry about this matter, they can't grasp what to do, until you return to the Divine Capital, this matter will only be hidden," he said in a deep voice, "But when you return to the Divine Capital, you must be prepared to withstand the wind and rain." ”
Duan Lizheng's eyes became firm, "I understand, I don't regret doing this." ”
"Okay, as long as you don't regret it, I won't say anything, I'm leaving, you take care, the family is handed over to you," Duan Haochu glanced at his younger brother and turned around and walked towards the carriage.
"I don't regret coming back." He turned his back to Duan Lizheng and said suddenly.
"Huh? Big brother, what do you say? Duan Lizheng heard his words clearly, but he didn't understand what he meant.
Duan Haochu didn't look back and boarded the carriage.
The coachman whipped up, and with the creaking of the wheels pressing the snow, the carriage departed.
Duan Lizheng watched his brother's carriage leave, then he turned around, walked in the opposite direction of the carriage, and returned to Huizhou City.
He didn't see that the carriage, after going some distance, changed direction.
"Go to the place I said earlier," Duan Haochu commanded while sitting in the carriage.
In the ice and snow, a young man dressed in a brown short beat appeared at the front of the carriage, replaced the coachman, and took the whip and raised it high.
……
……
The snow was falling silently, and it was already completely dark.
The evening bell of the temple rings not far away, melodiously echoing in the mountains.
In the meditation room of Lingyan Temple, the snow in the courtyard illuminated by the lanterns hanging under the eaves became more and more crystalline. The palace lamps brought by the female officials from the Shendu were also lit in the house, and dinner was set up in the meditation room, and Zhu Luan and Princess Jinyang had dinner together.
After the meal, the two of them washed up separately, and after everything stopped, Zhu Luan leaned on the head of the bed and flipped through the books that he had brought down from the rock wall before, while Princess Jinyang was bored flipping through the Buddhist scriptures, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
The room was filled with the sweet fragrance of pears, and the two sisters were lying on a bed, one occupying one head, and a red sword hung at the head of the bed.
Both of them scattered their hair and wore small jackets, Princess Jinyang's head became lower and lower, and it didn't take long for a snap to hear, the Buddhist scriptures in Princess Jinyang's hand slipped to the ground, and the person leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.
The palace maids were all outside, Zhu Luan saw the scene in front of him, smiled, got up gently, walked to Princess Jinyang's side, helped her lie down, took her hand outside to the brocade quilt, and then carefully folded the quilt.
After doing all this, Zhu Luan picked up the Buddhist scriptures on the ground and straightened up, and was about to return to bed.
Suddenly, there was the sound of snow falling on a tree outside the window.
Zhu Luan stopped.
