After the autumn of red beans was sentenced, the rain stopped, but the dark clouds were still thickly covered overhead, and they were also covered in people's hearts, and everyone was waiting for a gust of wind, maybe it could blow away this layer of haze.

The saddest thing is not Zhang Jiusheng, not Wei Man, not Yun Sheng, but Wuyi, who is now sitting in the red bean platform, looking at the sky and not knowing what he is thinking. Just like Hongdou said, she is no longer her, and she can't be her anymore, from the moment she puts on the mask, she has become the second Hongdou, replacing her, staying here until the overall situation covers the coffin.

The zither at hand was brought back from the capital by red beans, and since she was disfigured, she has never played it again, but she only took it out during the New Year's festival to take a look, like seeing things and thinking about people. Wuyi once asked about the origin of this zither, and Hongdou didn't say anything specific, only said that it was given by friends.

That friend must be an extremely important person.

Hongdou's favorite tea has been cooled, and the person she was waiting for hadn't come to see her off since she left Beijing, and he shouldn't be here now.

"Goo-Goo......

Suddenly, a white thing suddenly fell to his feet, Wuyi was stunned, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was a pigeon, with a snow-white body and smooth hair, and a small letter was carefully tied to the side of his red feet, and he took it off gently, and it was a roll of paper.

She spread it out, only to see a few words on it: After autumn, return to Beijing.

Wuyi held the note, the corners of his lips slowly raised, the arc gradually increased, his eyes moistened, and a sour feeling in his heart was like water in a spring, constantly overflowing, more and more.

It's been ten years, and after ten years of leaving the capital, the man finally plans to take her back.

There is no waiting for this decade in vain.

Wuyi clutched the note tightly, like a drowning person clutching a life-saving straw, she pinched her sleeve and wiped her face indiscriminately, got up from the ground, stumbled and ran out of the door, and slammed into a thick chest, she raised her head, it was Zhang Jiusheng.

"In the middle of the night, where are you going in such a hurry?" Zhang Jiusheng stretched out his hand to hold Wuyi's shoulders and straightened her crooked body, Wuyi was stunned, and before he could speak, he heard Zhang Jiusheng say again: "Crying? Don't cry, you're uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable, but Hongdou killed someone, and he should be beheaded according to the law, and in front of everyone, I can't protect her even if it's a county order. ”

"I know." Wuyi said sullenly, quietly tucking the note into his sleeve.

"I don't know what plans you're planning, but Zhang Chi shouldn't be damned." Zhang Jiusheng turned to Wuyi, walked to the house and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea, moving skillfully without pause.

Wuyi stood at the door and pursed his lips: "Hongdoutai hasn't opened yet, what are you doing so late?" ”

"Naturally, I'm here to ask you something, come and sit down."

"Your Excellency, please speak." Wuyi moved to sit down opposite Zhang Jiusheng.

Zhang Jiusheng looked at her, feeling quite uncomfortable, for the sake of that I don't know what kind of plan, the woman in front of me may have to wear the face of her good sister for the rest of her life, even if she is willing to accept it without clothes, but Zhang Jiusheng always feels weird, and in the future, I am afraid that I don't want to come to Hongdoutai.

"Actually, I don't believe in red beans."

As soon as Wuyi sat down, her butt was not hot yet, when she heard Zhang Jiusheng come to say this, she was shocked, but there was a smile on her face, Zhang Jiusheng looked quietly, and only spoke after a while: "Zhang Chi actually didn't see anything, he just passed by there, and then picked up something, and Hongdou mistakenly thought he saw something." Hongdou refused to say, so tell me, what did Zhang Chi pick up? ”

"Aren't they all already recruited?" The unclothed veil had already been removed, even if she was wearing a human skin mask on her face, Zhang Jiusheng couldn't see through her true expression, but he could see clearly what was revealed in those eyes.

The world said that he was stupid, that he was a waste, that he was not diligent and that he did not distinguish between grains and grains, and that he had a good skin, and that he had lost the face of the old man of his family. Otherwise, there would not be this black veil on his head.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Jiusheng thought about whether the old man of his family was afraid that he would be too arrogant and domineering and offend too many people. If he doesn't have any official title, even if he is assassinated, he can't pay attention to it, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, after all, his father is just a retired imperial doctor in the end, he has no power and no money, at most, he has a little talking status when the emperor is still there, but now that the emperor has died for so many years, if something really happens, it is estimated that few people are willing to help him.

In the end, those so-called colleagues who usually called brothers and sisters pushed cups and changed lamps, but they all avoided it one by one and shirked the relationship, and even when the prime minister's son was exiled, no one came forward to deal with it.

Throughout the ages, how many people have died in exile, they will not be unaware.

And they won't know what kind of person the prime minister is.

It was only after that case that his father had the idea of retiring, that is, a few years after he returned to his hometown, the emperor fell seriously ill, and famous doctors everywhere were helpless.

Naturally, there were people in the court who came to ask his father to go back, but his father didn't know if it was done on purpose, and he always went into the mountains to collect medicine before people came to the door, and every time he went there was a month, and no one could find it.

Over time, people stopped coming.

All ways, time, life.

Then, the first emperor died, and the throne was passed to the prince who was not very famous at that time, Li Hongzhi.

It is rumored that the prince does not understand the four books and five classics, but he can only pour all kinds of beauties;

There are also rumors that the prince does not understand the shooting of Lile, but he built a wine pond meat forest in the mansion;

There are even rumors that the crown prince covets a concubine of the former emperor and has been wanting it for a long time;

……

But in the end, it is just a rumor, and it has never been confirmed.

It's just that the prince's romance is well-known in the streets, lifelike, and envied by everyone.

However, Zhang Jiusheng felt that although he had not met the prince, he felt that if the two met, they would have to pay homage. Li Hongzhi, as the crown prince, is not clean and self-conscious, but leaves a handle everywhere, for people to eat after tea, such a behavior can still sit on the dragon chair, and he, Zhang Jiusheng, as the son of the former imperial doctor, is not good at studying his homework and testing his fame, but is merciful everywhere, and has a reputation of being an unruly embroidered pillow, even so, he wears the black yarn of the county order.

Every time he thinks about this, Zhang Jiusheng feels that this former emperor, I'm afraid it's not my brain in the water, right?

Zhang Jiusheng was silent for a long time, this kind of silence that filled the air with dead silence made Wuyi's heart beat a drum, and when he was planning to say something better, he heard Zhang Jiusheng speak: "Yes, she was recruited, and she recruited in front of so many people, and she also signed and painted the detention, so I had to sentence her to the queen of autumn, but you and I both know that what she said is not what I want to hear, and it is not the truth." ”

"If you don't think what she said can be trusted, why didn't you argue when you were in the hall that day?" Wuyi raised his head slightly, with a shallow smile on his lips, Zhang Jiusheng looked at her, and thought in a trance that he had seen red beans.

"Because I know that you are from the capital." Zhang Jiusheng only said the first half of this sentence, he looked at Wuyi fixedly, saw a little surprise in her eyes, and then slowly calmed down.

"The people of Fan County say that Zhang County has everything to eat, drink and have fun, but the mind is simple and the limbs are simpler. Originally, Wuyi also thought the same way, but now it seems that the rumors cannot be believed. She took a sip of tea, and the sweetness spread across her tongue.

The tea in Hongdoutai is extremely delicious, and many scholars do not go to the teahouse, but come to Hongdoutai, not without reason.

In the whole Fan County, the tea leaves of the red bean platform are unique, that is a tea seedling brought by the red bean from the capital, raised for so ten years, it grew into a small tree, the tea leaves picked lightly, stored year after year, the thicker the year, the tea boiled out, the stronger the taste, and the sweeter and clearer.

In the past, Wuyi didn't like to drink tea, and like Xuedian, he always drank some wine from time to time.

The two have the same temperament and are of the same age, and gradually became close friends, but when she knew about Xuedian's illness, she unconsciously began to quit drinking, and also drank tea with red beans.

And now that the red bean is gone, she suddenly drank the taste of this tea.

"Adult ......"

"Listening to you call me an adult for so many days, my ears are calloused, I still prefer to hear you call me Second Young Master." Zhang Jiusheng interrupted her words and rubbed her ears in a gesture.

Wuyi opened his mouth, and suddenly laughed: "Second Young Master, I want to meet Hongdou." ”

"Oh? You haven't seen her since she was sentenced. Why, you were in a hurry just now, did you want to find me? Zhang Jiusheng raised his eyebrows, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"To put it bluntly, although these two lives were not ended by my own hands, they are related to me. I can never see her again, and I will never be separated from her from now on, but my life is saved by her, and this can never be changed. ”

Zhang Jiusheng nodded slightly: "Well, reasonable." It's just that she is now a felon, how can she say that she will see her? Give me a reason to convince me, and I'll let you go. ”

Wuyi squinted, thinking that he would let go and stop asking about their plans, but he didn't expect to walk down a street and turn a corner and run into a trap, and he was still so clearly there, and he was really sorry for him if he didn't jump.

"Lover." Wuyi lightly spit out two words.

Zhang Jiusheng was shocked: "Really? ”

"Second Young Master, do you know why Hongdou left Beijing back then and traveled thousands of miles to such a remote place in Fan County?"

Looking at Wuyi's shining eyes that seemed to be hiding countless secrets, Zhang Jiusheng fiddled with his sleeves and said lightly: "Young Master Ben doesn't want to hear it." ”
