In the Shushan guest room, a man's long hair was wantonly spread out and draped behind him, and the whole person sat on a bamboo mat, with fair skin and very delicate skin, especially the hands, which were slender and delicate, and looked a little better than some women.

The man's expression was calm, gently playing with the fragrance on the table, and his demeanor was upright and polite, which inevitably reminded people of the word elegant.

This person is Ning Xiaochuan's fourth brother, Ning Yu, the fourth of the five sons of the Ning family, unlike his three elder brothers, Ning Yu has not liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, nor does he like to read like his second brother and third brother, on the contrary, he likes musical instruments very much.

When I was a child, I often secretly went to the palace to listen to the musician's performance, or went to the winery, or even to the Qinglou to eavesdrop, Ning He alone caught people from the Qinglou three or four times, and then Ning Zhi in desperation could only send him to the Yule Mansion to learn art.

But not to mention, Ning Yu really has a unique talent for musical instruments, in just five years, he has achieved the position of the musician of the Imperial Music Mansion, becoming the youngest musician of the Imperial Music Mansion, and has been favored by the Imperial Music Mansion Commander Wang Jinghe and became his closed disciples, and Ning Yu and his three elder brothers are also known as the four talents of the Ning family.

Not long after the Taijiajun record happened, Ning Yu went to Miaojiang on the grounds of educating the people, and Ning Xiaochuan at that time thought that his fourth brother really went to Miaojiang for this reason, until he was chatting with the third brother once, and he didn't know that it was because of a woman.

That woman is also a member of the Imperial Music Mansion, but only men can be musicians in the Imperial Music Mansion, and ordinary women, no matter how talented you are, no matter how powerful your musical instrument is, you can only be a singer, and you can never appear at a formal banquet again, and you can't be a musician.

And Ning Yu happened to fall in love with the singer, the two of them were in harmony, talented and beautiful, and it was also a good story in the Yule Mansion, but it was a pity that this matter somehow reached Ning Zhi's ears.

At that time, the Shan family had just had an accident, and countless eyes in the court were staring at the Ning family, although Ning Zhi had already made a decision not to marry with the courtiers or relatives of the king, but he didn't expect Ning Yu to fall in love with a singer.

If this was spread out, it would be his Ning Zhi's face, and then the woman was expelled from Yule Mansion, and Ning Yu left Yindu in a fit of anger and went to Miaojiang, where he has not returned.

Two years ago, there was civil strife in Miaojiang, Ning Zhi and Mrs. Ning didn't know how many letters they wrote to Ning Yu, Ning Yu was just unmoved, and until now, they would rather stay in Shushan than return to Yindu.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the letter in his hand, Ning Song wrote it, but it was not sent from Yindu, but from Qingzhou.

It turned out that after Kong Zhangxi rejected his proposal, Ning Song knew that if he was in Yindu, he would not be able to be with Kong Ying for the rest of his life, so he secretly left Yindu with Kong Ying half a year ago and returned to Qiancheng Mountain.

This letter has been written for a long time, but Ning Song didn't know where Ning Xiaochuan was, so after several tosses, it took half a year to reach Ning Xiaochuan's hands, Ning Xiaochuan looked at the letter in his hand, and sighed helplessly for a long time, "My third brother, fourth brother, all of them are big lovers." ”

Yu Xining glanced at Ning Xiaochuan silently, and Ning Xiaochuan was puzzled, "What are you looking at me?" ”

"What about you?" Yu Xining's cold words made Ning Xiaochuan a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer after thinking about it for a long time, and finally he could only prevaricate and divert the topic, "It's in front of the guest room, let's go quickly." ”

Jiujiu sneered, Yu Xining directly rolled her eyes, and stomped her foot angrily, "Wood." ”

……

"Fourth brother, fourth brother." Ning Yu, who was in a daze in the room, suddenly heard Ning Xiaochuan's voice in his ears, although he hadn't seen him for many years, he still remembered Ning Xiaochuan's voice clearly.

For a while, Ning Yu even thought that he was dreaming, this was Shushan, how could he hear Ning Xiaochuan's voice.

"Squeak."

When Ning Xiaochuan was wandering around the yard blankly, there was a sound of opening the door, making a squeaky sound.

"Ogawa."

Ning Yu, who opened the door, was stunned in place for an instant, looking at Ning Xiaochuan, who was already as tall as him in front of him, he hadn't been home for a long time, and when he saw his younger brother, he was a little afraid to recognize him.

The fourth brother in my memory is gentle, quiet, not good at smiling, and there will be a lot of rich ladies behind him every day, and now when I see the fourth brother again, I only feel that he seems to have become more mature, with long hair and a shawl, wearing a purple shirt, compared with the fourth brother in my memory, Ning Yu in front of me has lost a lot of weight.

"Fourth brother......" Ning Xiaochuan rushed directly to Ning Yu, the two brothers hugged each other tightly, and Ning Yu also had red eyes, this was the first time he had seen his family in many years since he left home.

"Grow up, grow up." Ning Yu muttered, holding back her tears from flowing.

Yu Xining looked at the scene in front of her and was also a little moved.

Everyone came to Ning Yu's room, the room was very small, the conditions were also very poor, the shabby tables and chairs, a few pots and pots were all the belongings, and a large brazier was Ning Yu's heating tool in winter, not to mention Ningfu, even the general inn could not compare.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the fourth brother distressedly, "Fourth brother, you just live here, how can this Taoist priest of Shushan let you live in such a shabby place, no, I'll go to their head theory." ”

"Don't make a fuss." Ning Yu shouted to Ning Xiaochuan, "Are you going to cause trouble just now?" Besides, it's not very good, Qingxuan Dao Chang can take me in, I'm already grateful, accommodation or something, just have an impermeable place. ”

Ning Xiaochuan pouted, and couldn't help but feel sorry for his fourth brother, "Fourth brother, when have you ever suffered like this." ”

Ning Yu smiled indifferently and gently touched Ning Xiaochuan's hair, "I'm still bitter, when I first arrived in Miaojiang, you look at the Miaojiang people in the mountains, they are really bitter." ”

Ning Xiaochuan nodded undeniably, he had been in Miao Jiang, and naturally knew the situation in Miao Jiang, especially after being harmed by Yin Yan, he was even more devastated.

"By the way, how did you know that I was in Shushan? Why don't you come and talk to me? Ning Yu asked puzzled.

So Ning Xiaochuan told Ning Yu everything about his journey along the way, including Ning Feng's letter and his own visit to Shushan.

After listening to Ning Xiaochuan's words, Ning Yu was also very surprised, although he knew that Ning Xiaochuan had left Yindu, but he didn't expect Ning Xiaochuan to actually meet Princess Shenli, and by the way, he solved the problem of Miao Jiang, which made those officials in the court have a headache and couldn't sleep, but Ning Xiaochuan solved it easily.

However, when he heard the news of the murder of the fresh boss of Huajian City, his mood was still a little heavy, "When I first arrived in Miaojiang, I was not familiar with the place and couldn't understand the words of the locals, but the high priest who took me to see was the high priest who told me that they don't have to be poor in Miaojiang, but they just lack a chance, and my arrival is equivalent to giving them a chance." ”

Ning Xiaochuan nodded and sighed, "The deceased is like Sifu, fourth brother, although Boss Xian is gone, I believe that Miaojiang will definitely get better and better, because in the land of Miaojiang, I have seen a lot of people who want to be like Boss Xian." ”

Ning Yu looked at his younger brother in front of him, and nodded with relief, he hadn't seen him for many years, and the little guy who loved to cause trouble had become an adult who could take charge of himself.

"Fourth brother, come back with me." Ning Xiaochuan saw that the time was almost up, and said directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle, Ning Yu slowly got up, took out his guqin, wiped it gently, and said while wiping, "Xiaochuan, I made up my mind when I left Yindu at that time, I will not go back, there are open and secret battles everywhere, there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring behind everything you do, you can't even choose your own feelings, they only have the so-called courtyard background in their eyes, no one considers your own feelings at all, this kind of oppressive environment I don't want to be in contact with a second time." ”

After Ning Xiaochuan heard this, he pondered for a long time, looked at Ning Yu and said, "Fourth brother, when facing the shadow that makes me annoying and timid, we all chose to escape, once I thought that as long as I left Yindu, these troubles would never find me again.

However I was wrong, and I paid a terrible price for it, and now I understand that running away will not solve the problem, it will only make us more and more cowardly. ”

The movements in Ning Yu's hand slowly stopped, and he looked up at Ning Xiaochuan, his eyes were full of tears, for Ning Yu, who had always been cold on weekdays, it was rare for him to be so emotional, "Although what you said is very right, I still can't accept your opinion, there are all kinds of situations in the world, the fourth brother just chose the most cowardly one, I'm sorry Xiaochuan, I disappointed you." ”

"Fourth brother......" Ning Xiaochuan looked at his fourth brother, somewhat distressed.

Yu Xining got up and grabbed Ning Xiaochuan, who was still about to speak, "Ning Xiaochuan, let your fourth brother be quiet alone." ”

At this moment, Kong Zhenxuan, who had been outside the door, walked in, came to Ning next time, and arched his hand, "Childe, the people from Shushan are here." ”

After Ning Yu heard this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, trying to keep himself elegant, and Ning Xiaochuan nodded and came to the door.

After a while, a white-clothed Taoist priest walked over with a long sword on his back, led by an old Taoist priest wearing a cyan Xuanwu suit, with white hair on his head but a childlike face.

The old Taoist priest came to take Ning Yu outside, and when he saw the young man in the brocade robe in front of him, he smiled politely, revealing his mouth full of white eyes, and then arched his hand and said, "Poor Dao Shushan Qingxuan has seen Ning Wugongzi. ”

"How do you know that I am the fifth son of the Ning family." Ning Xiaochuan was stunned, he had heard Kong Zhenxuan say before he went to Shu Mountain, the head of Shu Mountain was named Qingxuan, he was a generation of swordsmanship masters, his kendo attainments were unfathomable, he had lived alone in the bamboo forest for 30 years, practiced swords, and finally broke the Tianshan Mountain with a sword, stepped into the realm of gods, and became a Taoist immortal.

Ning Xiaochuan was surprised that the head of Shushan would actually come to the guest room to see him in person, which made him a little flattered, you must know that in Wudang, he also wasted some thoughts when he saw Zhang Xingrui.

This first meeting made Ning Xiaochuan have a different view of this leader.
