Volume 2: The Golden Scroll Chapter 25 Temptation

The moon hangs high and the stars shine. Under the same starry sky, there are people who are leisurely and some people who are busy. Seeing the common people rushing around like ants, I wonder if Mingyue will smile indifferently?

Outside several courtyards, a man lay comfortably on his back with his hands behind his head, beside a cluster of reddish-purple peony flowers. But seeing that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his high legs were lightly tapped, as if he was humming a little song silently.

Beside him, there was another person, whose demeanor and movements were completely opposite.

Yinxia circled around Gongzi at night, and I don't know how many circles she went back and forth.

"Tell me, what the hell are you bringing me here?" Yinxia finally stood still after another round of anxiety, staring viciously at the people on the ground.

"The scenery is beautiful. Childe Ye held a straw stick in his mouth and replied vaguely.

"Nonsense, the sky is blocked by the eaves, and nothing can be seen at all. Yinxia crouched down and pulled out his straw stick with a grunt.

"That's what you can't see. Childe slowly pulled out a straw stick and put it back in his mouth.

"Hmph, pretend. Aren't you afraid that the patrol will come back to chase you away?" Yinxia pulled out his straw stick again, leaving it far away.

"No, they have something to do, and they won't be back here for a while. Childe turned sideways and changed to a more comfortable position.

"Don't tell me why you brought me here, be careful I'll tell you now!" Silverxia lost all her patience and kicked him viciously.

"Ouch~" Childe sat up in pain.

Rubbing his nose, he took out something from his sleeve and coaxed him well: "Don't worry, eat something to quench the fire." ”

"I don't want it. Yinxia didn't answer, but he stuffed it into his hand. If you look closely, it's a bunch of lychees. She wanted to throw it, but she didn't want to.

Childe peeled off a lychee, put it in his mouth and tasted it beautifully, "Do you know? If the lychee is not ripe, it tastes extremely sour, and there is a kind of lychee that is even poisonous when it is not ripe." If you want to eat delicious lychees, you have to learn to be patient. Waiting is also part of doing things, but it is often overlooked. He smiled lightly, as if nothing was a problem for him.

Seeing him like this, Yinxia hesitantly peeled off a lychee and put it in her mouth. As the sweet juice enters the mouth, the tense heartstrings seem to relax.

"Come, sit here. Childe Ye pulled her to sit beside her and raised her finger, "Look over there." ”

Yinxia looked at it as she said, under the night sky, in a corner of the eaves, several strings of hanging bells were gently blown by the wind. A few stars poked their heads out of the corners of the eaves, as if whispering something.

"Sit in front of the steps of the sleepless night for a long night, and listen quietly to the dreams of the galaxy. Childe's words gently drifted with the fragrance of peony, "I didn't lie to you, is this a beautiful scenery?"

The sound of the bell came quietly, and Yinxia was in a trance. For a moment, she felt as if she was in the midst of a caravan of camels marching silently under the night.

She nodded slightly, "Although it is different from the desert, you can't see all the night, but it is indeed beautiful." ”

Childe smiled lightly, "The desert is vast and vast, and the desert people have a straightforward personality, but in this Jiangnan, what is particular is the hazy poetry. Just like the dance you dance, the enthusiasm is intense, but the Jiangnan people like soft and melodious tunes. It's not about the merits, it's just a difference in preferences. It would be best if we could face it calmly, appreciate each other, and learn from each other's strengths. ”

"You're quite right. Yinxia's heart moved, and she thought carefully, "Just like this Guanhui City, there are many kinds of goods and developed commerce. Although the types of goods in our castle are very different from those here, there are many varieties. If you can learn from each other's strengths, that's the best. If one day there is such a developed business in Yidu Hucheng, then the matter of tribute and silver should not be a problem. ”

Have you been thinking about the affairs of the clan again?Gongzi Ye curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Let me ask you, if you don't be a princess and don't have to take care of the affairs of the clan, what will you do?"

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the clan?" Yinxia was stunned, "I haven't thought about it. ”

"Then think about it. Childe's soft words seemed to be near and far away.

Think about it...... Yinxia stared at the starry sky in a daze.

If you don't want to be a princess, there is one thing you want to do......

In the past desert night, who have you seen the scenery with?

I used to think that I was dancing alone under the moon, but in fact, someone has always been silently accompanying me.

Because I'm used to that kind of company, I stupidly thought that the person would always be by my side.

Because of this, now that the person is gone, he feels so uncomfortable in his heart as if a piece has been cut off.

This is actually just a loss, right?

Her eyes were blurry, and the stars seemed to fall into her eyes, twinkling and shining, always trying to sneak out of them. She kept her eyes wide open, trying not to let them slip away, but she couldn't close them.

Beside him, Childe Night was also staring at the night sky. Raising his hands behind his head, he slowly lay back, "...... Do you say it's better to be strong or weak?"

"Be strong, of course. Yinxia raised her sleeves to cover her eyes and broke free from her thoughts. yes, be strong, now is not the time to think about those things at all.

"Is it good to be strong enough to lose your favorite thing?" Childe asked very softly, as if muttering to himself.

"What do you mean by that?" Yinxia turned her head sharply, staring at him fiercely.

Childe didn't look at her at night, her eyes were still staring straight at the night sky, and her voice seemed to float from the sky, "My mother...... is a very strong person. She is gifted and unforgettable, and the elders of the family are proud of her. But she lived up to the expectations of her elders and was seduced by a foreign man in the best years of her youth. My mother betrayed the family for the sake of that foreign man and disowned my grandfather. When she followed the foreign man back to his house, she found that the foreign man already had a wife. My mother refused to bow down and be small, and finally broke up with that foreign man. However, she found that she, a single woman who had lost everything, had a child like me. ”

Yinxia pondered for a while and understood, "What foreign man, that foreign man is your father, right?" That's why he did all kinds of bad deeds, just deliberately trying to embarrass his father?

Childe didn't answer, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes.

For some reason, his appearance at this time made Yinxia feel very uncomfortable. In order to break the atmosphere, she deliberately angered him, "I heard that Master Wen Zhuang was the first son of martial arts back then, I see that he is personable and looks like a decent gentleman, which is really different from someone who is bad." ”

"Hmph, but what did the personable, upright and gentleman first son of martial arts do behind his back!" Childe Ye sneered, uncharacteristically excited, "My mother is very strong in front of people, but when I was a child, I often saw her crying secretly when she was alone. I asked her why she was crying, but she just shook her head. Later, I realized that she was thinking about that man! No powerful martial arts in the world can hurt people compared to the word 'love'. At that time, I secretly swore in my heart: I will never let my woman cry. Whatever the reason, a man who makes a woman cry is not a good man. ”

When she heard the words "my woman", Yinxia's heart jumped suddenly, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged: This is the reason why he is very gentle with all women?

After understanding his reason, for some reason, her heart was faintly uneasy. She sneered deliberately, "So you're gentle with all women? Do you think it's good to do that? You're just a good person." ”

"So do you like people who make you cry, or do you like to abuse good people?" Childe stared at her at night. In the darkness, his eyes suddenly sparkled.

Seeing his bright eyes, Yinxia's heart suddenly became confused, and she said, "It's different, I respect him like a teacher and a brother...... He was very different from my clan and taught me a lot of knowledge that my clan did not have...... For me, he's different. ”

"Isn't this son different enough?" Childe muttered at night, propping himself up with his hands, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "So do you like his difference, or do you like him as a person?"

"Of course I like him as a person. As if to prove something, Yinxia said hurriedly.

"That's because you can't see the good in anyone else except him. Gongzi Ye snorted lightly, and lay back with his head in his hands, "The starry sky in the desert is the scenery, and there is no scenery in the courtyard of the south of the Yangtze River?" Women like ambitious men, but that kind of man will never bow his head for a woman, and he will not care about a woman's tears. I secretly saw my mother sad behind someone's back, and I was thinking at that time, that kind of man, even if you cry dry tears for him, he won't see it, and he may be laughing with other women. It's not worth it at all to cry for that kind of man. ”

Yinxia was stunned for a while, and then said: "I cry when I want to cry, where will I consider whether it is worth it." It's like if you like it, you like it, how can you control it?"

Childe turned sideways and faced her, "Then I'll ask you again, if you can't have both the person you like and the person you like, which one will you choose?"

"Certainly someone I like. Yinxia replied without hesitation.

"Sure enough, it's the answer that a fool like you would choose. Childe sighed long, "It's very difficult to change others, especially people who don't like you. Yugong moves mountains to his children and grandchildren, but a person's life is only a few decades. Why waste it on someone who doesn't like you? It's not easy to change others, but it's much easier to change yourself. The smart way to do this is to try to like people who like you, so that everyone can be happy. ”

Yinxia was stunned for a moment, "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, how can you change it." ”

After a moment of silence, Childe Ye said again: "Let's ask you in a different way." What should you do if someone you like insults you, cheats you, or undertakes you?"

The heart seemed to be stabbed by a sudden sharp cone, Yinxia endured the severe pain, and her expression was stubborn, "...... If he has a reason for me to accept, I will trust him and help him, rightly or wrongly. ”

"Foolish. Childe sighed softly and turned his face away, but there was no sarcasm in his tone.

"Perhaps......" Yinxia lowered her head and sighed softly.

The night is silent, and the stars are indescribable. The two of them thought about each other and were speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long later, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the sound of weapons intersecting was hidden not far away.

Gongzi Ye stood up abruptly and said to Yinxia, "Lend you a long whip." ”

Yinxia froze and reacted, "What's wrong?"

Childe said, "Do you see that tree?" Take me up, there's a good show!"

Hearing this, Yinxia took out a long whip, flicked her wrist, and wrapped the tip of the whip around the trunk. She picked up Childe Ye and flew straight to the branches.

The front of the Star Picking Tower was illuminated by a light of light, and I don't know what kind of device was used, but the lights did not diverge outward, but converged in the field.

“...... What's that?" Yinxia looked at the field, her gaze in a daze.
