Thick clouds and showers roll (22) He talked about the old day (II)

In the clear water, the blood droplets of the two were entangled, but they were not compatible. Hengyue only felt dizzy and dizzy, raised his hand and smashed the bowl, and ran out of the mansion regardless of the shouts of the people behind him.

Just running, there is no end, no direction. Shouting all the way, crying all the way, running all the way.

When the sun sinks over the horizon, the last rays of the sun are on the horizon. Everything was silent under the deep blue sky. Yokogaku eventually ran to the teahouse.

The old Taoist priest sat at the wooden table in the teahouse and looked at Hengyue quietly.

Later, I followed him to practice kung fu and sharpened my temperament. My arrogance is also gone with my identity as a son. Later, the master said that my father had been kind to him before. When I was born, my name was Cheng Bofeng, and it was my master who started it. ”

Xiao Hengyue recalled the past, raised his head and poured another glass of wine. Close your eyes and shake your head.

"My whole family is dead, and the Cheng family has a hundred people, and all of them are killed by the emperor. I was two years old. Originally, I couldn't live, the Xiao family was loyal and loyal, gave me a way to live, said that I was the second child of the Xiao family, and I hid it from the emperor and me for more than ten years. ”

After speaking, he took a long breath. Han Lingxiang gently held Xiao Hengyue's hand. "Brother Xiao, don't be sad about the past. No more talking. Xiao Hengyue's eyes were misty and he looked at Han Lingxiang.

Xue Yuyan saw that the atmosphere was gloomy, and the people at the table did not speak. So he leaned in and asked, "The master." How did you marry Master Han? ”

"Your master...... Hey, hey, there's a story. Speaking of Han Lingxiang, Xiao Hengyue was no longer low, shook his head and said slowly.

"Your sister, she was a great beauty at that time, she could write, she could endorse, and she was still the eldest lady of the Han family. Is that...... Summer? Han Lingxiang nodded lightly and slowly leaned beside Xiao Hengyue.

"Well...... I'm just out of school......"

Xiao Hengyue, who had just learned his stunt, was twenty-six years old. I haven't been home for nearly eight years. The way back to the hometown is far away, and the boat is fast. Passing through Suzhou on the way, it happened that Suzhou Taishou and the Xiao family were old friends, and Xiao Hengyue planned to spend a few days and go back to his hometown after a while.

Early that morning, Xiao Hengyue took care of it and prepared to travel. As soon as I left the door of the house, I saw two girls walking slowly.

From afar, I saw the two girls laughing and walking, the young lady who was a little ahead of her, wearing a lacquered silk jade crown, and Qingluo embroidered as Zhai Yi. A little closer, I saw that the girl's facial features were delicate and beautiful, her eyes were like autumn water, and her jade face and lips were red. Walking in the crowd is like a green lotus out of the water, and the surroundings of the girl are eclipsed.

The girl in the back is dressed as a maid, holding a few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings in her arms. Pouted as if complaining about something.

The girls passed by Xiao Hengyue and entered the mansion, leaving only a burst of fragrant flowers. Xiao Hengyue only felt that his heart was ape, and he no longer had the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers, so he hesitated for a moment and returned to the mansion.

Outside the private school, Chen Taishou looked at the children reading aloud from the window, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. Xiao Hengyue stood beside Taishou, and through the window, he saw that the girl who looked like a daughter was teaching the child to read.

"It's actually a female gentleman......

Chen Taishou looked at Xiao Hengyue sideways, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, although it is a daughter, this knowledge is not inferior, and it also shocked the old man at the beginning......"

"This look, this knowledge...... It should be the daughter of a big family...... How did you become a teacher? ”

Chen Taishou made a gesture, and Xiao Hengyue leaned over and listened carefully. Chen Taishou whispered: "The old man also thinks it's strange, and he has already sent someone to inquire." This is the daughter of the Han family, the right secretary of Han Qi. I don't know how to be a gentleman. Since people don't want to talk about it, let's stop asking. ”

"Oh............" Xiao Hengyue thought for a while, watching the beautiful woman teach the children to read, and the book was loud, and he couldn't help but fall into a trance.

After watching it for a while, Chen Taishou turned around and left the house to deal with business. Xiao Hengyue didn't even feel it, and he was still looking at it in a daze.

Wait until noon, and the study hall will be over. Xiao Hengyue ran out of the house, went to the market to make plans, picked left and right, and spent thirty taels to buy an imitation of "Snow Creek Map" with a wave of his sleeves.

I wanted to buy another beautiful jade pendant, but I always felt that the jade ornaments in the world were too vulgar and not worthy of the beauty of Luoshen. Eventually, I went to a jade shop and bought a piece of tourmaline that was bright and transparent. I went to find the master who carved jade, and specially carved a piece of Xinyi.

Xiao Hengyue's demanding master shook his gray beard: not only to tattoo fine silk, but also to be majestic, and to say what to say about a small jasper, in short, the appropriate words, the inappropriate words are all used.

Fortunately, the master has excellent skills, and the next day he carved out a "phoenix sycamore" pendant. When the delivery was made, Xiao Hengyue, who didn't sleep well that night, had two dark circles under his eyes, playing with Pei Changle, like a child.

When Xiao Hengyue took the pendant and returned to the house with the painting scroll, he saw Han Lingxiang in the pavilion resting with tea, chatting and laughing with the maid beside him. Xiao Hengyue was momentarily distracted.

Xiao Hengyue stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Mr. Jiuwen is erudite, can you help me look at the painting?" Han Lingxiang smiled and nodded, Xiao Hengyue spread out the scroll, it was a "Snow Creek Map".

Han Lingxiang's eyes lit up when she saw the famous painting, her willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she looked at the painting carefully, sometimes thinking about it, sometimes looking at the painting.

After a while, Han Lingxiang said lightly: ""Snow Creek Picture" was originally a silk ink stroke by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, and this should be an imitation. ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Well, you see, it is very good at outlining trees, rocks, and houses, using rigid brushes and inks to outline, and using simple and agile brushes to draw the effect of the original ink." ”

After that, he pointed again: "But when outlining the outline of the mountain stone, Wang Wei's soft and refreshing feeling is missing." There is no such ...... The light and heavy are natural, the feeling of changing at random, and the use of the "ink breaking method" is also relatively jerky, and the whole painting lacks some sense of Xiao and distant.

Xiao Hengyue nodded stiffly, only feeling that Han Lingxiang was like a book of words. I secretly hated that I didn't learn when I went to private school.

Han Lingxiang smiled calmly and looked at the young man in front of her with interest. The teenager's crampedness, uneasiness, joy, and seemingly understanding look are all in full view. didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

The maid next to her also looked at Xiao Hengyue with a smile, but obviously didn't notice Xiao Hengyue's demeanor, and said lazily: "To put it bluntly, this painting is fake, an imitation." Don't believe it, our eldest lady of the Han family ......"

"Ahem" Han Lingxiang coughed softly in a low voice, and looked at the maid with low eyebrows. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes.

"Ah...... Well...... I mean, our Mr. Zhang, who is very knowledgeable, will definitely not look away. The maid hurriedly changed her words.

Han Lingxiang was satisfied, revealing a sweet smile, and two dimples loomed. This smile was burned on Xiao Hengyue's heart. For a while, Xiao Hengyue only felt that this moment was like an eternity.

Han Lingxiang is also quite interested in the crazy young man in front of him, if he is from an ordinary family background, how can he stay in the house as a guest and be so friendly with Taishou?

If you are a gentleman, you have seen too much. But there is no one like him, simple and simple. Neither domineering nor cunning. The eight-foot man, who is as strong as a tiger and leopard, is cramped with a red face at the moment, and he is a little cute. Han Lingxiang felt that her heartstrings had a hint of tugging.

Han Lingxiang smiled gracefully and took the lead in breaking the silence. "The little girl is fortunate to be appreciated by the son. Unexpectedly, the son is also an elegant person, who likes calligraphy and painting. Don't know what to call it? ”

Xiao Hengyue only felt his heart pounding, and his face was red all the way to his neck. If it was before, he would have bluntly said that he was the second son of the Xiao family, but now that he has a bright and Qing background, he has long since faded from arrogance.

Xiao Hengyue smiled helplessly and said: "My surname is Xiao, and I am the second son in the family. Just call me Xiao Hengyue, the name of the son is really unworthy. ”

"Xiao Jia...... Second son? Well, I knew that there was a second son in the Jiangmen of the town border house, and he was jealous and hateful. Seeing it today is a little girl's luck. "After Han Lingxiang became an important minister, he also heard about things in the DPRK and China. I had heard that the Xiao Mansion was unfortunate, and the second son, Hengyue, was domineering and domineering, bullying the people and poisoning the party.

But look at the cramped and gentle big boy in front of him, but there is no frame behind the famous family. Rustic and gentle. Han Lingxiang sighed secretly in her heart, the gossip is really not credible.

Xiao Hengyue heard Han Lingxiang's praise, thinking about his past, he only felt ashamed. The face was even redder, down the neck all the way to the heels.

"Girl...... What do you call a girl? Xiao Hengyue asked with a red face, his voice was so small that only he could hear it.

"Little girl's surname ......"

"My surname is Zhang, and I am a teacher." The maid said.

Han Lingxiang frowned, and glared at the maid resentfully. The maid was bitter in her heart, so she had to cry out silently. said that her real name is not, and her pseudonym is not, what kind of temper does the eldest lady have today.

"The little girl's surname is Han, her name is Lingxiang, and her name is Yaming. Just call me Lingxiang. The father is Han Qi, and the official residence is the right director. ”

When Xiao Hengyue heard it, it was actually after the famous minister. That Han Qi is upright, upright, and well-known in the government and the opposition. The girl in front of her turned out to be Han Qi's daughter. I just feel a little shorter. It's so low that it's in the cracks in the ground.

Han Lingxiang regretted slightly, after the famous generals, there was no shelf. I reported to my family but mentioned my father. It's as if you're dominating others with your name.

In the distance, a few children came running and said, "Sir, sir, can I not study today?" Han Lingxiang remembered when she saw the child, and she missed the time when she was chatting. Hurriedly got up and gave Xiao Hengyue a blessing gift. Turn around and go to class.

"Wait a minute, that, girl!" Xiao Hengyue plucked up his courage and said, "This." It's for you...... The ......" said and took out the tourmaline pendant.

Han Lingxiang looked back and smiled, turned around and stepped forward quickly, and took Pei down, "Then, the little girl is better to be respectful than to obey her fate~"

When he accepted the jade pendant, the hands of the two touched, and the soft touch almost melted Xiao Hengyue. I watched Han Lingxiang go away with the maid in a daze, and left for a long time.

All night, Xiao Hengyue turned over and couldn't sleep. My heart beat all night, and I didn't want to sleep at all.

In the days that followed, the two met from time to time. A conversation is an hour.

Han Lingxiang's shadow has been deeply embedded in Xiao Hengyue's mind. Before the appointment, I only felt that the food was tasteless and the tea was not fragrant. After the date, I only blamed the time flying, and my performance was not good enough to talk.

"Alas, the little girl originally secretly ran out in the name of going to her uncle's house to escape the summer. With the maid Ming'er, I quietly came to Suzhou and Hangzhou, just to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I love children and want to stay in a good place. I'm going to be a gentleman~"

Under the moonlight, Han Lingxiang sat on the corridor, facing the moonlight, looking at the scattered starry sky, and said softly. Xiao Hengyue sat next to Han Lingxiang and asked lightly, "That's ...... How long will you stay here? ......" can't hide the reluctance in his voice.

"Probably...... Stay for another month, right? Han Lingxiang looked at the boy in front of her and sneered: "Why be so sad, it's not like you'll never see you again." If you're looking for me, come to Hanfu. If you're a good general, my father won't mind. ”

"That's right......" Xiao Hengyue secretly hated what he had done in the past, if he had left a good reputation, he would not be so worried about not being treated by Han Qi now. That...... Can I drop you off when I leave? ”

"Hmmm! At that time, there will be a young man Lao~" Han Ling smiled sweetly.

Xiao Hengyue lightly touched Han Lingxiang's hand, and Han Lingxiang pretended not to know. The two silently felt each other's body temperatures.
