Chapter 448: Practice
Yuehua naturally knew what the two conditions that Mo Guhan promised Shao Ziqing were at the beginning, and she immediately noticed the subtlety of the moment between the two, and smiled lightly: "You two come and go, are you flattering each other?" ”
Shao Ziqing and Mo Guhan looked at each other and smiled.
Mo Guhan took the lead in seizing the style of speech, and joked: "You brought Rui'er and Hui'er to apprentice today, naturally you must be sincere, don't compliment Shao Xiang much, what if he dislikes the two children for being dull and refuses to teach them?" ”
Shao Ziqing was stunned: "Apprenticeship? ”
Mo Guhan nodded solemnly: "I want to ask on behalf of Rui'er and Hui'er, so that Shao Ying's permission can be the mentor of the two children." I hope you can not abandon the stupidity of the two children, accept them as disciples, and teach you one or two of your peerless learning. ”
Shao Ziqing lowered his head, didn't speak, his subordinates didn't stop, and lifted the teapot on the stove to pour it high.
"Isn't Shao Xiang willing?" Yuehua asked bluntly.
"Hui'er and Rui'er are so pleasing, anyone who sees them will love it."
Shao Ziqing smiled slightly, and presented the freshly brewed tea to Mo Guhan with both hands: "The emperor is a person who understands tea, can you taste it, is there any difference between this tea and the tea a few years ago?" ”
Mo Guhan took the cup, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, then still took a sip, the tip of his tongue turned, then swallowed, and gently closed his eyes.
"The tea is extremely good tea, and the tea making technique is even more impeccable, but the taste is indeed slightly different."
"What's the difference?"
Mo Guhan looked left and right at the teacup in his hand: "It seems that this tea has some life, but if the original tea set is cooked, even the tea set is full of mellow tea fragrance." Today's tea is sweet in the mouth, but when it is returned, it is stained with the earthiness of this purple sand. ”
Shao Ziqing nodded: "I am good at tea ceremony, and I have pursued the quality of tea, the sweetness of water, and the pleasing of tea sets, but now I don't have the mood of idle clouds and wild cranes." The tea set is placed here, the case is laborious, the state affairs are laborious, and often you may not be able to drink the tea you brew by yourself once a month.
Even if I brew it once, what is in this tea is not only the earthy smell of the tea set, but also my own impetuousness that has been tainted by the mortal world, all of which have fallen into this urn of tea, and I no longer have a pure heart. ”
Mo Guhan was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to make it clear: "Do you want to leave?" ”
Shao Ziqing nodded: "The emperor promised Ziqing." ”
Mo Guhan nodded: "I promised you that when you want to leave the court, I will let you go; If you Shao Ziqing commit any crime, I will spare your life. ”
The atmosphere became heavy for a while, Yuehua got up and stepped forward to take Hui'er: "Let's play in another place." ”
She took the nurse girl straight away, and the two people in front of the tea table fell silent for a while.
"Your Majesty has never envied this power and wealth, but just wants to be a landscape and a crane in the clouds. At that time, the emperor sincerely invited, for the sake of the people of Chang'an, for the sake of the country and the people, Ziqing promised to go out of the mountain to help the emperor.
Now, the volunteer you and I made together has been completed, the country is unified, and there are no worries, I believe that as long as the emperor works hard, the country is rich and the people are strong, and a hundred dynasties are just around the corner. Ziqing, you can say it without shame, and retire after success. ”
Mo Guhan raised his head: "Can't you go if you don't go?" I'll admit that you've worked hard all these years. In the future, I can give you freedom, you don't have to go to court every day, you just need to assist me and guide you to good policies for governing the country. ”
Shao Ziqing shook his head firmly: "The emperor now has King Chen, Wu has Chu Mubai, Dingguo Anbang and Han Yuchu, who is a strange person, and now he selects talents in an eclectic manner, Chang'an is full of talents, and the emperor no longer needs Ziqing." ”
"But you have merit for my splendid country, and I still want to share wealth and power with you."
Shao Ziqing looked at Mo Guhan through the heat: "The emperor promised Ziqing that you would not keep it." ”
Mo Guhan lowered his head again and said solemnly: "Is there really no room for maneuver?" ”
Shao Ziqing shook his head categorically: "I just want to leave the court and hide in the landscape, Ziqing is still the emperor's people, and we still have the opportunity to taste tea together." ”
Mo Guhan drank the tea in the cup as a spirit: "Okay! When to leave. ”
Shao Ziqing smiled slightly: "As soon as possible." ”
"Chu Mubai, do they know?"
Shao Ziqing shook his head: "No one said anything, for fear that they would be noisy." ”
Mo Guhan smiled: "I also want to set up a banquet for you to see you off." ”
"Let's go, go quietly, lest everyone be sad."
"And where are you going? Have you thought about it? ”
"The sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, so it is natural to travel to the mountains and rivers first, free and easy for some time, and then find a good landscape to settle down."
"To tell you the truth, I envy you."
"People all over the world are envious of the emperor, but the emperor is not satisfied. Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, what a carefree, what a domineering spirit? ”
Mo Guhan smiled helplessly: "How much power there is, how heavy the burden on his body must be, otherwise how could Shao Xiang become a deserter halfway?" ”
Shao Ziqing was noncommittal to Mo Guhan's words, and lowered his eyes.
"Changing bars?" Mo Guhan proposed: "Count me as your practice." This tea is always too bland, not as good as a few glasses of wine, heroic and generous. ”
Shao Ziqing nodded: "Okay!" ”
Immediately, the tea table was transformed into a wine table, and the tandoor where the tea was cooked began to boil wine. The two staggered, recalling the ups and downs they had fought side by side over the years and experienced together, and sighed with emotion.
Mo Guhan drank openly, the wine was dry, and the sweet wine entered his throat, turning into a heroic thousand clouds, turning into a difficult step in the past few years, painstakingly and bloodlessly, evoking the memories of fighting side by side in the past.
Between men, there is not too much gossip, as soon as you lift the cup and look at it, it is enough to understand.
When Yuehua pushed the door in, the two of them were already drunk, and the empty wine jars were scattered on the ground, filling the room with the smell of wine.
She shook her head helplessly: "How can you all be drunk like this?" ”
Mo Guhan picked up the wine jar in his hand and drank heavily: "How many years, I haven't drunk so much." ”
Yuehua snatched the jar in his hand and rested it on the tea table: "No matter how happy you are in your heart, you can't be so greedy and drunk like mud." ”
Mo Guhan frowned and looked at her, his body had already begun to shake: "Shao Xiang wants to leave, I can't keep it." He also said unashamedly that he loves beauty and not the country, and I have been deliberately searching for peerless beauty for him, so that he can have a nostalgia. Who knows, all those vulgar fans, he didn't see them all, he rejected them all, and now he is finally leaving. ”
"A mouthful of drunken talk." Yuehua smiled and said, "Shao Xiang is safe and sound, but you drank too much." ”
"I'm not drunk, where did the drunken talk come from?"
He shook his body twice, supported his forehead with his hands, his eyes were blurred, barely opened, and finally fell heavily.
Yuehua shook her head helplessly and pushed his shoulder: "You are good to sit down, I'll ask someone to help you get into the carriage." ”
Mo Guhan didn't move at all, and he was quite drunk.
Yuehua straightened his body uneasily, and when he turned around, his wrist was caught coldly by Shao Ziqing on the opposite side.
His palms were extremely hot, burning Yuehua's wrists, and it hurt a little.
Yuehua turned her face and saw Shao Ziqing looking at her with blazing eyes, without blinking, like two flames jumping, blazing and affectionate. His cheeks were flushed as well, and it was obvious that he was already eight points drunk.
"I'm leaving in two days." Shao Ziqing said in a low voice.
Yuehua quietly wanted to break free from Shao Ziqing's grip, his hands were very tight.
"I already expected that."
Yuehua only thought that he was drunk and lost his temper, and frowned slightly: "The emperor regards you as a hero of Chang'an, and he is very reluctant." But we all respect your choice. ”
Shao Ziqing let go of his hand gloomily, curled his hand tightly into his cuffs, and trembled slightly.
"In the future, I'm afraid that the sky will be separated, and I will never see each other again in this life."
Yuehua pretended to smile lightly: "Where is this?" The gates of the Forbidden City are still open to you Shao Xiang. You can come to the capital at any time to stay and talk to the emperor. ”
Shao Ziqing smiled bitterly, and that smile kept lingering on his lips, far-fetched and lonely: "When I turned around, I was already close to the end of the world, two worlds." Now goodbye, it is the real end of the cape. When we meet again, I don't know what kind of mood it will be. Perhaps, it is the sword facing each other. ”
Yuehua was extremely afraid of the serious Shao Ziqing, and even more worried about what he said every time he made a serious face. Especially today, Shao Ziqing's eyes were red, and every word she said was trembling slightly, as if she was choked at the tip of her throat and squeezed out with difficulty, which made her heart a little heavy and flustered for no reason.
Yuehua said angrily: "If you are really drunk, your mouth is full of nonsense, how can you suddenly talk nonsense." You are Shao Ziqing, the Shao Xiang of my Chang'an Dynasty, and the eternal meritorious and good minister. ”
Shao Ziqing let out a low "um", half-jokingly: "It's good that you won't forget Ziqing." ”
Yuehua was afraid that he would say something overstepping the wine again, so she was embarrassed and raised her voice to call: "Shui You, Yushu, call two guards in." ”
Outside the hall, Yushu heard the order, and then went out to find someone.
Shao Ziqing stood up suddenly: "It is enough to have a confidant in life." Ziqing was able to meet the emperor in Chang'an, get to know Chu Mubai, and meet you again, which can be described as a great blessing in life, but it is also a great regret in his life, and he regrets it. ”
Yuehua knew the meaning of his words, and was silent for a moment: "You are drunk." ”
"Really? ...... You can do what you say, I listen to you. ”
Shao Ziqing glanced at her deeply, and his burning gaze carefully traced her eyebrows, eyes, and lips. This glance seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body, he slumped his shoulders, curled the corners of his lips with difficulty, smiled bitterly, turned around and staggered out.
"The soul of the dark country, chasing the travels, night and night, good dreams leave people to sleep. The bright moon building is high and rests alone, and the wine is sad. Turn into lovesick tears! ”
