70 Chapter 70
July 15, the Midyear Festival, a month has passed since the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Rong Tang occasionally went out to walk around Suzhou City a few times in the evening with Su Huaijing or Ke Hongxue.
The shadow of the disaster is still there, but more of it is ordinary people who have returned to their normal lives.
Wu Nong's soft words sounded leisurely again, the shops on the street were selling, and the Lianhu painting boat lit up the warm yellow lights at the starting point.
They walked leisurely along the street, and they also met Lu Jiaxi, who was in a hurry and running quickly, and the baby fat on the face of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was clean, and only the mature experience practiced by this trip to Jiangnan remained.
But Ke Hongxue would still stop him every time, buy two pancakes or a string of candy people at the stall next to him, and stuff them for Lu Jiaxi.
Lord Xiao Lu was thin-skinned, embarrassed to ask for this kind of food that was a little like coaxing a child, so Ke Shaofu smiled and pointed to Mu Jingxu who was pulled out by him to relax: "What is this?" When your senior brother Mu first entered the court, he was so tired that he didn't even know how to sleep, which time didn't I feed him a mouthful of porridge and a piece of sugar next to him? ”
Lu Jiaxi blinked, quite unbelievable, Mu Jingxu still looked awe-inspiring, only a pair of cold peach blossom eyes glanced at Ke Hongxue, and there was a rare sense of annoyance in the flow of his eyes.
Ke Hongxue smiled like a fox, and when he stared at him like this, he was not afraid at all, but stuck it with a smile, and the senior brother and senior brother began to cry out again.
Mu Jingxu ignored him, and only said to Lu Jiaxi: "No matter how busy you are on official business, don't forget to eat." ”
Lu Jiaxi and Ke Hongxue still dared to be coquettish, but Mu Jingxu's words had always been a holy decree in his ears, and when he heard this, he didn't care whether Ke Shaofu was holding a roasted cake wonton or a candied candied fruit with sugar paintings, so he took it all over and smiled at a few people who could be his brothers.
Su Huaijing rarely participated in their array of teasing Xiao Lu, and usually stood aside holding Rong Tang's hand, seeing what delicious and fun there were on the vendors, he had to give Rong Tang a look, and then happily bought it in one go.
If Ke Hongxue hadn't let Lu Jiaxi go after buying it, he would have reminded him without saltiness: "I heard that there are not enough medicinal materials in the epidemic quarantine area in the west of the city, where are you going this time, Lord Lu?" ”
Lu Jiaxi would immediately remember what he was in such a hurry, and immediately said goodbye with a pat on his head, not daring to delay for a minute.
Su Huaijing knew more about the resettlement of victims and the repair of the embankment in Suzhou than the officials in charge, and Rong Tang sometimes woke up in the middle of the night and saw candles lit in his room until dawn, and he was worried that he would faint from overwork.
But Su Huaijing doesn't care at all, in front of Rong Tang, he always looks like he has nothing to do, and all his energy is shared with his sweetheart, as if he is so tired and hard in an unknown place, just to squeeze out more free time to accompany Rong Tang.
The city of Suzhou during the Midyear Festival is full of paper money, and the smell of soot wafts in the air. Pedestrians on the long street return home early, shops are locked, and every few steps on both sides of the road will see piles of burned yellow paper money, some of which are faintly bubbling with a faint red light, apparently just finished worshipping.
Rong Tang walked out of the house and bought two stacks of paper money and ingots, he also wanted to buy a few pairs of golden boys and girls in the paper hall, and he also wanted to buy the carriage and horse mansion, but in the end he still did it.
It's strange that it's too grand, so he only picks a few that won't come out
The wrong white supplies, settled the account and let Shuangfu take it back, and he slowly went to the state capital Yamen to pick up Huaijing.
Su Huaijing is not a regular official, and he has never come to the state capital very often, but it happened that the disaster relief money came down a few days ago, and Lu Junxian was also escorted back to Beijing, and Jiang Shanxing still couldn't come back in Hangzhou. Sheng Chengming really didn't know how to deal with such a huge project as the disaster relief of the entire Suzhou Mansion, there was no way, he had to run to the courtyard where Rong Tang lived every morning to say hello these days, and pulled Su Huaijing out of Lin Garden with a smile.
Rong Tang is indispensable, Sheng Chengming has a smile on his face, and both of them are in a normal mood. Only Su Huaijing, who was dragged by the second prince every morning, and then driven by Rong Tang, looked at Rong Tang with a sad face and looked back at Rong Tang with a sad face, which made him particularly uneasy.
There was no way, Rong Tang could only go to the Suzhou prefect at dusk every day to pick up Huaijing, and then walk back together.
The humanistic customs in Suzhou City were infiltrated into their minds little by little in their short journey home at dusk day after day.
Rong Tang walked to the yamen of the state capital, and the guards guarding the door were already familiar with him, and when he saw this, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and was about to welcome him in.
Rong Tang waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to bother, and after staying at the door for a short while, several people in official uniforms walked out together, still talking as they walked, and the verbal conversation was full of discussions about the latest policies in Suzhou.
The person who was surrounded by them in the middle was Su Huaijing, he was the only one who didn't wear an official uniform, but everyone else would look at him intentionally or unintentionally every time he finished speaking, and he didn't know whether he wanted to get his response or refute, anyway, he just wanted him to give a response.
Su Huaijing raised his head slightly, and the person who was talking was immediately emotional, as if he was encouraged, and immediately spat and gushed endlessly. When the excitement was over, and he looked at Su Huaijing with bright eyes, the latter walked out of the yamen of the state capital with fast steps, trotted to Rong Tang's side, lowered his head and asked gently: "Have you waited for a long time?" ”
Rong Tang handed him a look, Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, smiled helplessly, turned around and gave a little insight on what the adult said just now, and then said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, my husband has come to pick me up, see you tomorrow." ”
The sunset melted gold, and the fireworks and sunset were scattered accordingly, after Su Huaijing finished speaking, regardless of whether they reacted or not, he turned around and took Rong Tang's hand and walked towards Lin Yuan together.
Rong Tang was stunned, his ears were slightly red, he looked at Su Huaijing with some grievances, endured and endured, and asked, "Why do you have to emphasize to them that I am your husband every time?" ”
Su Huaijing was even more surprised than him, and asked: "I'm telling the truth, how can I emphasize it?" ”
Rong Tang: "......"
Dayu men can marry, and male wives can enter the court as officials, which is a rule handed down a hundred years ago, but in fact, it is quite rare for men to stand in the court as male wives.
After Emperor Renshou ascended the throne, there were even officials who played in the court, saying that when a man marries a wife, he lacks manhood. What's more, the male wife is a man with a male sexual orientation, and she is not at home every day, but gets along with male officials day and night, and is afraid of doing things that are not harmonious in the family, so it is recommended to abolish the system that male wives can enter the court as officials.
Although this proposal was scolded back by a group of officials headed by Ke Wenrui in court, it was always a bomb, and it would be pulled out and mentioned from time to time, and it was hard to guarantee that it would not be raised
Adopted by Emperor Renshou.
Although Rong Tang felt that this was nonsense,
But it is inevitable that the days will go by,
There will be some kind of invisible chain of contempt formed in the court, and he is afraid that Su Huaijing will tell Sheng Chengming's subordinates again and again about his identity as a male wife, and they will be disrespectful to him.
Su Huaijing saw his thoughts clearly, and said with a slight smile: "The rules related to the ancestral system, Your Majesty is absolutely impossible to change, he cares too much about the evaluation of him in the history books a hundred years later, Tang Tang doesn't have to worry about me." As for the respect of others, it has nothing to do with identity, I am a reckless one, living in a broken temple every day, and there is a way to make them respect me, which is never difficult. ”
He paused and said with a smile: "Compared with those, how to make Tang Tang open his heart to me is a difficult thing. ”
The villain's smile was very faint, and he chatted casually, but Rong Tang immediately felt that the palms he was shaking were a little hot, which made him want to pull it back.
The long summer is melting, and after the middle yuan, it is about to enter autumn, and the air has a little cool wind, and Rong Tang has been silent for a long time.
He couldn't convince himself, so he had to give up.
"Go back," he said, "the kitchen has boiled Sydney white fungus soup today." ”
Su Huaijing's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he still responded with a smile, pretending that he was not at all lost.

late
The meal was used in Rong Tang's courtyard, Ke Hongxue had eaten here a few times, and then came over when he was free.
When Rong Tang returned to the courtyard, Ke Hongxue was already sitting at the dining table, peeling nuts for Mu Jingxu to quench his hunger, and when he saw people, he smiled and said, "Lord Shizi, you are back, I am dying of hunger." ”
Rong Tang glanced at him: "Why don't you go to your own yard to eat when you're hungry?" ”
"That's not going to work." Ke Hongxue bent a pair of peach blossom tricks and chuckled: "Today, Zhongyuan, the family should have a meal together." ”
Su Huaijing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, raised his eyes to look over, and saw that Mu Jingxu also frowned and looked at Ke Hongxue, and the two of them looked shallowly and staggered, and then moved away.
Rong Tang didn't understand Young Master Ke's crooked reasoning, and frowned and said: "Zhongyuan is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can there be a family reunion, let alone who is with your family?" ”
Ke Hongxue: "We have been struggling together in this disaster city for so long, how can we not be considered sharing hardships?" ”
Rong Tang ruthlessly pierced him: "Your struggle is to listen to music and drink in Suzhou City every day?" ”
"I'll give you a lot of silver." Ke Hongxue said bitterly, "That's my life." ”
“……”
Rong Tang can't say that he can't say that Young Master Ke always has countless crooked reasons.
The four of them were eating in the restaurant, the door was open, Shuangfu cleaned up the weeds in the corner of the courtyard, and circled a vacant lot, Ke Hongxue asked, "What is this doing?" ”
Rong Tang glanced lazily at the past, and replied casually: "Zhongyuan, buy some paper money, and worship the ancestors for a while." ”
Ke Hongxue was surprised: "Is it for Old Lady Rong?" ”
Rong Tang was slightly stunned, almost didn't react, and then pretended to be casual for a moment and said, "Well, some of them are for my grandfather, and some of them are bought for Huaijing's parents." ”
Su Huaijing and Mu Jingxu froze at the same time, and the two inadvertently looked at each other, and then Su Huaijing asked Rong Tang: "Bought it for me?" ”
Rong Tang was a little flustered in his heart, but his face was not obvious: "I heard you say that your parents, brothers and sisters all passed away early, and I want to come except for you."
No one will remember to worship, but you are busy these days, so I have prepared it for you. ”
He paused, and forced a smile to himself: "Can't everyone else have descendants to pay respects underground, leaving your parents alone to look at others greedy, right?" ”
Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's hard work." ”
Rong Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be." ”
Ke Hongxue had eaten, and when she saw the two stacks of paper money that Shuangfu had brought out, she cheekily asked Rong Tang: "Lord Shizi, can you give me a little?" ”
Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously, Ke Hongxue smiled: "It's not a secret, my senior brother was poor in his early years, and he was fostered in a rich family, and the owner of the family took good care of him, but unfortunately he was killed later, and the whole family died, and there was no descendant to pay tribute." I just heard you say that, I thought about the other ghosts in the underworld are celebrating the New Year, and their pitiful appearance is really uncomfortable. ”
Rong Tang didn't believe him very much, but anyway, he bought too much paper money, so he gave a lot to Ke Hongxue.
The moonlight is cold, the full moon hangs high in the sky, the night of the Midyear Festival is particularly desolate, the two piles of yellow paper money are burning, Su Huaijing put them on the fire one by one, as if he was climbing at will, and asked: "Lord Mu, what is the surname of the family you live in?" ”
Rong Tang was a little suspicious when he heard his question, Su Huaijing has never been a gossip person.
But Mu Jingxu's answer surprised him even more: "It's the same as you, surnamed Su." ”
Rong Tang was slightly stunned, looked at Su Huaijing, and strange emotions kept surging up in his heart.
Su Huaijing lowered his eyebrows, didn't look at him, burned paper money ingots one by one with his plain white and clean hands, and asked, "Are there any brothers and sisters?" ”
"Yes."
"How many?"
"Two older brothers, four younger brothers, four younger sisters." Mu Jingxu replied slowly.
Rong Tang stood by the pile of paper money burned to Mrs. Rong, and looked down at Su Huaijing.
His face was reflected by the firelight, half bright and half dark, and the emotions in his eyes were all blocked, and he couldn't see clearly at all, but Rong Tang just felt that it should be a dark sea, churning over the turbulent waves.
Su Huaijing smiled softly: "What a coincidence, I happen to have six brothers and four sisters in my family. ”
"Among the men, I have seven lines, the eldest brother and I have a mother, the second brother has been raised outside the house since childhood, and the second brother is ...... It's a liar. Su Huaijing said.
Mu Jingxu's Adam's apple moved slightly, and a trace of broken emotion appeared on his expression that had not changed all year round, he lowered his eyes and mechanically burned paper on the tongue of fire: "Yes, that's really an incompetent brother." ”
He responded to Su Huaijing's words, but who knew that the latter's face was gloomy and not very happy, so he was silent for a while and then asked him, "What about Master Mu?" ”
Mu Jingxu: "My brother is majestic, my little sister is delicate, and my younger brother is smart, and he is a very ordinary person. ”
"The eldest brother is majestic, the younger sister is delicate, and the younger brother is smart...... Su Huaijing repeated in a low voice, laughing softly, saying that it is not ironic not to liquidate.
The more Rong Tang listened, the more strange he became, there seemed to be a mess of threads in his head, the threads were hiding in Tibet, and whenever they were about to appear in front of him, they drilled back again, and he was never sure.
Until the paper money burned out, Mu Jingxu looked down at the grass and wood ashes stained on his hands, and asked, "Master Su, can you take me to the bathroom?" ”
Rong Tang subconsciously wanted to follow, but Ke Hongxue pulled him.
He frowned and turned his head, Ke Hongxue's face was rare and serious, and his expression was obscure
Dark. ()

Rong Tang turned around.
Ke Hongxue smiled desolately, looked at Mu Jingxu's back, and said softly: "Do you know, I used to think that my senior brother should be the most beautiful person in the world. ”
He drank the cold wind of Saibei and walked through the worm valley of Lingnan; He has seen jewels sunken on the Jinfan River in Yujing, and he has also seen tea estates flooded in Huizhou.
He is a wanderer in the game world, a natural poet, a nobleman, and an amorous talent.
He can lead troops to fight when he enters, he can recite poems against him, he never leaves the fan in his hand, he must drink at meals, he must smile when he speaks, and his peach blossom eyes will always be full of scorching brilliance.
He is the most amorous prodigal son in the world, and he has attracted countless noble women in and out; He is also the most naughty and naughty prince in the Yujing Palace, full of glory and favor, but he yearns for the wind of freedom.
And he died forever in Yuanxing for twenty-five years.
He gets the freedom he wants, but step by step he returns to the cage he had dreamed of leaving from.
……
Rong Tang froze in place, and in an instant, all the conclusions had the original reason.
-
There was no light in the room, the water was in the jar, Mu Jingxu bent over, scooped out a scoop of water and washed his hands, and then instinctively scooped out another scoop and turned around, wanting to clean Su Huaijing's hands.
The latter stood still, his figure hidden in the darkness, like a pine and cypress for many years, tall and majestic.
After staring at each other wordlessly for a long time, the moonlight broke into the window, and Mu Jingxu's voice was slightly hoarse: "Xiao Qi, you have grown up." ”
So Songbai trembled, Su Huaijing smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes turned red.
He was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, where is my rabbit?" ”
You promised to take me to the hunting ground to catch rabbits when you came back.!
