Chapter 22: Heartache

Qingming Festival, on the West Lake, the spring breeze is slow, the blue water is rippling, the painting boat is light, the scales are gathered, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the view is like a brocade.

The scenery of the West Lake is charming, full of traffic, bright spring clothes, and a prosperous and lively place. People come and go by the lake, shoulder to shoulder, BMW incense car, clothes and sideburns, most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, banner men and women.

Paper kites are flying in the sky, there are well-dressed people planting trees in the open space, and there are people all over the body, wine and food, writing poems and lyrics among the pavilions and pavilions, causing bursts of applause. Even if Shenzhou is stormy, even if the war in southern and eastern Zhejiang hundreds of miles away, it still can't stop people's stirring hearts in spring.

The warm breeze smokes the tourists and makes Hangzhou a ......

Everyone is full of ambition, smiles, elegant manners, and graceful and luxurious.

Wang Heyao in the crowd was in a trance for a while.

Hundreds of miles away is a hell of ruined walls, barren fields, corpses and wild dogs, and the people are displaced and in dire straits; On the other hand, it is a paradise of drunken gold fans, singing and dancing, with delicious food and wine, and moaning without illness, so ironic.

This world is mixed with ugliness, there is sunshine, there is darkness and dirt, there is singing and dancing, and there will inevitably be difficulties in people's livelihood. To bow and worship the "drinking rare and prosperous world", but ignoring the "all living beings who eat chaff" is the ultimate ugliness of the human heart.

Wang Heyao thinks that he is not a saint, but he hates this occasion, this occasion where Zhumen wine and meat stink. But he had to come again, this is the spring season, Huang Junsen came to Hangzhou City, and Gao Qing also came.

Several people traveled, as well as Zhao Guohao and Chen Zigou. Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Heyao wanted to ask Zheng Siming and Sun Jiachun to come together, but these two people were unwilling to live or die, so he had to give up.

As for Li Xingzhong, he went to Quzhou with Thin Monkey and Dong Jiayao. Li Zhifang's military order was to transfer gunners to the front to defend the city, and Li Xing was a middle-of-the-road person, so he could only follow the order.

Pulling Zhao Guohao and these guys, Wang Heyao is also helpless. No one can care, but he can't. Once there is any scandal, his future is uncertain, or even doomed.

Before you know it, night has fallen, from the Su Causeway to the river embankment, until the edge of Hangzhou, bonfires are blazing all over the West Lake, laughter, wine and food, so comfortable.

The pavilion where Wang Heyao and others are located, surrounded by colored silk walls, the governor's palace with guns and knives on guard, ordinary tourists passing by, are driven away.

On the stone table in the pavilion, it has been paved with brocade, and the wine and delicacies, fragrant tea and fruits are dazzling.

Wang Heyao secretly laughed at himself. Accidentally, he also became a powerful class.

"Wang Lao Wu, come, drink!"

Li Ruonan's face turned crimson, and the wine glass was handed directly to Wang Heyao.

As a payer and party initiator, she is the host of today.

Except for her, no one seems to call Wang Heyao the nickname, which also marks the closeness of the relationship between the two.

"Miss Li, Miss Gao, Lao Huang, I respect you!"

Wang Heyao was helpless, raised his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Li Ruonan, Gao Qing, Huang Junsen and others one by one.

Zhao Guohao and Chen Zigou also hurriedly joined in.

"Wang Lao Wu, how are you staying in the barracks? If you don't want to, forget it, it's not difficult to get an errand in Hangzhou City! ”

Li Ruonan put down the wine glass, his face was flushed, and he was slightly drunk.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood today.

"If you are a man, Wang Gongzi is eloquent and strategic, he will definitely not stay in Hangzhou City. Once the sun is red, Wang Gongzi, am I right? ”

Gao Qing whispered, and Wang Heyao felt that the air around him was gentle.

It's just that he feels that Gao Qing seems to be preoccupied this time.

"Wang Lao Wu, I told my father that you are my life-saving benefactor, and asked him not to transfer you to the battlefield as much as possible, so he trained the new army in the military camp outside Hangzhou and ran the grain and grass. In this way, not only can we good friends see each other often, but you can also be safer! ”

Li Ruonan may have drunk a few more glasses, and his voice was loud and straightforward.

Wang Heyao was dumbfounded, only shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Miss Li, you have good intentions!"

He joined the army because he wanted to go to the front of the war as soon as possible, but he didn't expect such a thing.

This is really a pig teammate, God assists.

Zhao Guohao and

"Ruonan, although your father is the governor of Zhejiang, Prince Kang should have the final say on the matter of dispatching troops. Wang Gongzi and them, I am afraid that they will go to the battlefield at any time. ”

Gao Qing's words made Li Ruonan stunned. She wasn't embarrassed or embarrassed, but a little sad.

"Wang Lao Wu, if you go out to lead the troops to fight, you must protect yourself. I'm going to wait for you to come back and drink and talk and make poems! You can't be fine! ”

Wang Heyao's head was big for a while, and he quickly changed the topic.

"Lao Huang, did you see my parents when you came? How are they? ”

"How? That's great! ”

Huang Junsen's face was flushed with drinking, but his mind was clear.

"Lao Wang, this is your father's letter, read it for yourself!"

Wang Heyao took the letter and wanted to put it in his arms to go back to read it, but Li Ruonan was full of interest and urged him.

"Wang Lao Wu, look! Peace to everyone! ”

"Old Five, look! Look! ”

"Old Five, take it apart and tell you about it!"

Zhao Guohao and Chen Zigou echoed Li Ruonan and urged one after another.

Speaking of which, they haven't heard from home for a long time.

"Don't worry, you two, your family said that they will come and see you in a few days!"

Huang Junsen laughed and persuaded Zhao Guohao and Li Xingzhong.

"Wang Lao Wu, read the letter! Tell me about it! ”

Li Ruonan urged again.

Wang Heyao had no choice but to open the letter and read it by the light of the fire.

"And Yao Wu'er:

Since you went to Hangzhou to serve in the army, your mother and father have been very worried. My son has great talent and patriotism, but the road ahead is long and dangerous. I should be cautious, don't be reckless, and ruin the good future! The family has his own father to take care of, and my son cherishes ......"

After reading the letter, Wang Heyao couldn't help but sigh for a while.

My mother may be better, but she only knows that she is in the army, and she does not know that she has "ill intentions". And my father knew that he was already timid and afraid of things, but he was not worried, and he was worried all day long.

"Wang Lao Wu, tell everyone, what did the letter say?"

Li Ruonan didn't smile and urged up.

"My grandmother booked me a family affair and urged me to go back and meet with the woman when I was free. The woman is the daughter of Ma Huayun, a wealthy businessman in Yuyao, and my aunt said in the letter that Miss Ma is both talented and beautiful, and she is called "Yuyao Shuangshu" with Miss Gao. Chen Zigou, you seem to have seen Miss Ma. ”

Wang Heyao was serious, Chen Zigou understood, and immediately followed:

"Fifth brother is right! However, in my opinion, Miss Ma is a little darker than Miss Gao, and her height is not so tall, or a little worse. ”

Gao Qing's face turned red unconsciously.

Yuyao County, is there really such a beauty?

She is so tall, is she really disliked by everyone?

Her gaze looked unnaturally at Wang Heyao. The latter had a smile on his face and only cared about drinking tea.

Gao Qing's heart was relieved and lost.

She and Wang Heyao have tasted it at a superficial level, and it seems that it is difficult to call him "Wang Lao Wu" like Li Ruonan.

It all sounds poignant!
