Eleven
If Xiaoxiangyuan is the largest green building in Ning Ao Country, then Gu Yue Zhai is the largest restaurant in Ning Ao Country.
Guyuezhai Restaurant is not divided into three, six, nine and so on, as long as there is money, it is a guest. There are almost no ordinary people in Guyuezhai, because the decoration is luxurious, the decoration is exquisite, every house brick and tile is inlaid with gold and silver, and a casual pot of tea in it is not something ordinary people can afford. Therefore, the people who come to Guyuezhai are either royal relatives and nobles or rich businessmen.
And today, on the second floor of Gu Yuezhai, leaning on the railing, Ning Yihan is sitting on it eating peanuts and getting drunk alone. And next to him sat a prostitute dressed in cloth, who didn't look very big, about seventeen or eight years old. I saw her holding the pipa and singing with a pair of slender jade hands. The prostitute's voice is sweet, delicate and ethereal, and it is very good. I only heard the prostitute sing, "When you see, you see not when you see." Seeing is still far away, and seeing is unreachable. Falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water is ruthless in love with the falling flowers......"
Ning Yihan listened very seriously and was very satisfied with her playing and singing. After a while, he looked at the sun outside, and it was already noon.
Ning Yihan took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the prostitute, after the prostitute took it, he hurriedly bent down and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, son!" ”
Ning Yihan smiled: "You go down first!" ”
When the prostitute heard this, she silently retreated.
After a while, Ning Hao came to him in a plain clothes and sat next to Ning Yihan.
Ning Yihan raised his hand, picked up the teapot, politely poured a cup of tea for Ning Hao in front of him, and slowly said, "Brother Emperor, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't come to harm?" ”
Ning Hao smiled: "Thanks to the third brother, everything is fine!" ”
Ning Yihan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "The eldest brother has been fine in Ning Aoguo for ten years, but in the past ten years in Yongchun Kingdom, every day is a day when life is worse than death!" ”
Although Ning Yihan's tone was calm, there was a chill in his words, and Ning Hao had to be suspicious when he heard it, but he still calmly comforted him: "The third brother has been in Yongchun Country for ten years and has suffered. However, the third brother is also for the country and the people, and this responsibility is really ashamed of the brother! ”
The corners of Ning Yihan's mouth curled, and he laughed leisurely, "Brother Emperor, my brother has returned to Ning Aoguo, and the days to come will be much more lively." ”
After Ning Yihan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The Shadow Palace is the palace of the second prince Ning Yuchen, the ancient trees in the palace courtyard are towering, the green willows are yin, the red wall is golden tiles, and the gold is brilliant.
In the palace courtyard, next to a large tree, there is a swing made of hemp rope planks, and a soft cushion is placed on the swing.
At this time, there was a girl in purple sitting on the swing, and the girl was as bright as a spring flower, as bright as an autumn moon. A pair of apricot eyes, the eyes are shining, the eye waves are flowing, and the care is shining. The figure is slender and the legs are long, and she is delicate and elegant.
The girl was swaying up and down on the swing, and I saw her laughing and playing with relish. The breeze blew the hem of her purple dress, fluttering. Behind her, two palace maids in purple palace clothes were standing with their heads bowed and respectfully standing at her.
I don't know how long I played, and a man in a dark robe walked out of the palace. The man had long, plump and flowing hair, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, a nose like a gall, a snow-white complexion, and a long and thin body.
The man slowly walked to the girl's side, and joked with a smile: "I'm still thinking, who would have the courage to come to me at noon, and when I went out, it turned out to be your little girl." ”
The girl got off the swing and said with a smile: "Second cousin, don't make fun of me." As she spoke, the little girl walked to the dormitory with a big grin, she didn't look back, and said unceremoniously, "Second cousin, I've been playing for a long time, I'm hungry, and my second cousin hurriedly prepared something for me to eat." ”
As he spoke, the man approached the palace, and the two maidservants followed the little girl in. Seeing her like this, the man smiled and shook his head helplessly.
On the mahogany table, there are many delicacies, melons and fruit snacks. The girl and the man sit opposite each other. The girl picked up the chopsticks and began to eat them generously, causing the man sitting opposite her to chuckle a few times because of her indecent appearance.
The man raised his hand, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a few sips.
"Second cousin, I heard that the third cousin has returned from Yongchun Kingdom, is it true?" The girl asked as she stopped eating.
"yes!"
"Did the second cousin go to see him?"
The man shook his head, "No! ”
The girl put down the food in her hand, picked up the handkerchief next to the table and wiped the grease stains on her hands, and said, "Second cousin, third cousin has been working as a proton in Yongchun Country for ten years, and now that he has finally returned, I think you should take the time to see him." ”
The man sighed lightly, "Don't worry, I'll go see him when I'm free." It's just Zidan, you haven't seen your third cousin for ten years, don't you go and take a look? ”
"I haven't seen him for ten years, and I'm definitely going to see him. Second cousin, wait for tomorrow, I'll go to see him tomorrow, so, do you want to be with the second cousin? The girl asked
The man shook his head again, "No need, you can go first tomorrow!" I'll go when I'm free. ”
The girl nodded and said with a smile, "Good! ”
After finishing speaking, he buried his head in the feast.
Yongchun country
After a few days of rain, Yongchun finally ushered in a sunny day. On this day, at the entrance of Qingfeng Village, Chun Yuyi stood at the entrance of the village wearing a plain clothes. He looked at the inside of Qingfeng Village, which was still as poor as ever, and the people of Qingfeng Village, everyone was dressed in rags, but they were still alive and strong.
Ling'er, since that day of farewell, has not seen each other for five years. I wonder if you still remember the promise you made five years ago?
Chun Yuyi was conflicted in his heart, and he walked towards the village with heavy steps. My heart is sad and joyful. Because five years is too long, long enough to change a lot of things. I don't know if Gu Ling has forgotten him now?
Before he arrived at Gu Ling's house, he saw a man in civilian clothes appear in Qingfeng Village, this man was dressed in blue, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a slender figure. Chun Yuyi looked at it, isn't this his eldest brother - Chun Yudang?
Since he was out of the palace, he couldn't call the eldest brother so openly outside the palace. Chun Yuyi changed his words and said with a surprised face: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”
Chun Yudang smiled and replied, "Eleventh brother, I'm here to take care of the girl." ”
"What the eldest brother said about Miss Gu, isn't it?" Chun Yuyi was shocked.
"Exactly!" Chun Yudang said indifferently
Chun Yudang looked at Chun Yuyi's puzzled expression, and before Chun Yuyi could ask, he explained to himself: "Eleventh brother, I'm really sorry." Five years ago, since you saved Gu Ling, didn't you promise to send her supplies every month? In the last month of the first year of the year in which these things were delivered to her, I sent someone to deliver them, and I followed them for that. When I first met Gu Ling, her eyes were not good, that was the first time I sent her something, I also chatted with her, and found her very interesting. After that time, I doubled the number of things I sent to her every month, so I sent all the supplies and other things for the past five years. It's just unfortunate that after five years of getting along, I fell in love with Gu Ling, and Gu Ling also fell in love with me. ”
After these words, Chun Yuyi only felt a chill in his heart. He was also prepared for Gu Ling to choose someone else, but he didn't expect that when Gu Ling really liked someone else, his heart was about to suffocate. Because of the three months of getting along at that time, Chun Yuyi was sincere to Gu Ling.
Chun Yuyi's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, his fingertips were embedded in the flesh of his palms, and the blood flowed, and he didn't feel pain.
He gritted his teeth and word by word, "Big brother, do you know that she is the woman I fancy first?" ”
Chun Yudang put one hand on Chun Yuyi's shoulder, as if to comfort him.
"I'm sorry, my eldest brother also knows that Gu Ling is the woman you fancie. But, I think you should let him go? ”
"Why?" Chun Yuyi's tone was a little cold
"Because, she doesn't like you, but, she loves me. If you force her, I don't think any of us will be happy. ”
Chun Yudang's words couldn't help but make Chun Yuyi smile bitterly in his heart, although he couldn't leave the palace, he missed and worried about Gu Ling day and night for five years, and these five years of worries were replaced by others, and it was really a creation to make people. In the past five years, how many young ladies of the family and the daughters of princes and ministers came to him to express their intentions, but for the sake of Gu Ling, Chun Yuyi refused them all.
Because Gu Ling is Chun Yuyi's reason for rejecting all women! But in the end, this is the end.
I have to admit that Chun Yuyi has a deep affection for Gu Ling, but I also have to admit that what Chun Yudang said is right, the twisted melon is not sweet, so blindly forcing it will only backfire. At the end of the day, it's just three people who suffer.
Chun Yuyi eased his mood, "Big brother, I like Gu Ling, I like it very much." Chun Yuyi said, he swallowed a few more times, a little reluctant, a little embarrassed to say: "But for the sake of her happiness, I still choose to hand her over to you." ”
Chun Yudang ignored his emotions and said, "Thank you!" ”
Chun Yuyi looked at Chun Yudang's eyes directly, and warned word by word: "Big brother, leave it to you, you have to treat her well." Although you and I are brothers, if you treat her badly, then I will not only take her away, but I will also not let you go! ”
After Chun Yuyi finished speaking, he didn't give Chun Yudang a chance to speak, and quickly turned around and left.
