Xia Yan knew all these three things, and he couldn't afford Song Ran too much to say, but in the end, Song Ran frowned rarely, and said in a low voice: "Jun Li, I know that there is a reason for this incident, but-don't let outsiders go straight to me next time." ”

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, knowing that the "outsider" he said meant Shen Fengming. As far as the deacon is concerned, only the leader of the black bamboo is his own person, and everyone else can only be called an outsider. "But Fengming, he ......," he tried, "he knows you—he has known your Song family's identity for a long time." Otherwise, I know that according to Heizhu's rules, I can't let him come to you. ”

"Blame my dad for this, when he accidentally led us to the gold medal wall, he saw him. Song Ran showed a muttering expression, "But one thing is the same thing - that year is that year." Now I am the deacac, and I am also for the sake of Heizhu, so I have to make it clear to you earlier—you are good friends with him, so I believe him, but I have nothing to do with him. There are already too many guards to deal with in this capital, and suddenly another person comes to me, I really don't have three heads and six arms, but I am very frightened. ”

"I just thought...... Even if you don't see it now, turn back to the 'Guining Banquet'......" Xia Yan thought for a while, "That's it, it's me who doesn't think about it—in the future, I will be the only one to connect with you." ”

Song Ran raised his hand to thank him, "I'm definitely not targeting Feng Ming alone—it's not that I don't believe him, it's just that everything is prudent." I've deliberately lived in a remote area, not so much to avoid people's eyes and ears as to see more clearly, after all, if a person deliberately runs so far, he will leave more traces. But on the other hand, he is easy to be watched by people who come here. If you really look for clues, you can't tell. ”

"Got it. I wasn't going to ask anyone to run to you. Xia Yan said, "I still have something to ask you......

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to get the black jade wrench, but as soon as his hand touched it, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Ping coming back outside, so he had to let go of his hand again, exchanged a look with Song Ran, and stopped talking.

Cheng Ping sat down and asked Song Ran to finish the last stanza, it was already noon. How was he willing to treat the two of them slowly, so he called for a meal, left the two of them to use it together in the house, and then invited him to drink tea before he was reluctant to send them out.

"I think King Yi is really lonely. Song Ran smiled and said, "I don't have any friends in this forbidden city, so I can't wait to keep you for a whole day." It's good to marry a concubine. ”

Xia Yan originally planned to take advantage of the no-man's place on the way to leave and ask him about the black jade wrench, but when he looked up, he saw that Shao Xuan was also waiting outside the mansion. Seeing him come out, Shao Xuan also stepped forward and saluted him: "Lord Xia." But he didn't know Song Ran, so he nodded arrogantly and didn't put it in his eyes.

Song Ran didn't care. It is not surprising that literati often ridicule martial artists, and martial artists do not give face to literati.

"Lord Shao......" Xia Yan was a little surprised, "Aren't you ......?"

"Lord Xia said in the morning that there may be a place to find Shao, because Shao has been waiting here since the morning of the morning dispersion. Shao Xuan also said the truth.

"I ...... I don't know that the lord has been ......here all along" Xia Yan originally thought that he said in the morning that he was going to go to the Vertical Arch Hall to guard the outside of the arch hall was an excuse to refuse, but he really came back, not without intention, Song Ran saw this, and already resigned: "Since Lord Xia still has important matters, I will take the next step first." ”

Xia Yan knew that if he was strong and waited by the side and didn't leave, he would be rude and suspicious, so he had to return the gift and let him go.

Shao Xuan also said: "Lord Xia seems that everything is going well, and there is no need for Shao to contribute." ”

Xia Yan only apologized again and again, and Shao Xuan only said: "Shao is on duty today, and waiting outside King Yi's mansion is the same as waiting elsewhere - there is less wind and cold here." ”

The two walked out for a while, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Cheng Ping's marriage to a concubine on the way, Xia Yan remembered that last year, King Gong chose a concubine, and the miscellaneous affairs of the matter were still handed over to Xia Zheng, this year according to Shao Xuan, this princess seems to have a candidate, and she doesn't plan to make it so lively, just wait for all parties to decide and do it.

After a few words, it was mostly silent. Shao Xuan also seemed to be unhappy all along, and he didn't say anything or feel embarrassed when he didn't have a topic. After being cold for a long time, Xia Yan spoke: "It is said that Lord Shao and Lord Xia Yifeng are very good friends?"

Shao Xuan was also completely silent, only asked and answered, "It's still good." ”

"I heard my master say—Lord Xia—a while ago, I handed over the letter and asked him to return to Beijing. Xia Yan looked at the ground, "Does Lord Shao know about this?"

"Of course. Shao Xuan also said, "I heard that the emperor has approved it." ”

"Already?" Xia Yan stood and looked at him, his face surprised, "Has the edict been issued?"

"I don't know, I just heard it outside the Arch Temple. Shao Xuan also said, "Lord Xia went to a foreign land in a hurry to take office, and his heart was still in the capital. It's been more than half a year, and if anyone who celebrates the New Year and holidays is not allowed to save his relatives, it will be a great loss of humanity. ”

"New Year's holidays......?" Xia Yan said, "No...... Isn't it coming in October?"

"He seems to have invited him back to Beijing in October, but Liangguang Lingnan, this season must not be empty - the emperor knew that he was homesick, so he was allowed to come back to report on his work in the lunar month, and after the New Year, he returned to his post after the fifteenth day of the first month, which is also considered to be generous. ”

Xia Yan didn't say anything more. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief - as long as he didn't come back in late October.

- Although, none of those regrets that exist will be reduced by this.

------

Xia Yan listened to the Suzaku dispatch in the Forbidden City, and Shen Fengming left the Vermilion Bird Mansion that night, only to feel that he had drunk a lot all day - in front of the Suzaku Bird, where did he dare not do enough, that is, the Suzaku only drank half a sip, and he would have to return to him with a full cup - so when he went out and called the wind to blow, the stamina was only counted, and he couldn't hold his spirit after taking a few more steps.

Although Suzaku called the little maid to send him, but he couldn't send it far, he swayed alone and didn't know how to get to the south of the city, fortunately a drunken pavilion of those few waited for the heart, to the inner city gate near the probe brain, far to see him step by step out of the way, and said what's wrong, I knew that it was drunk when I got close, and hurriedly carried a few back to a drunken pavilion.

He really woke up at noon on the second day—his eyes were white, his mouth was dry, he touched a bowl of water at the head of the bed and drank it, and drank it more comfortably, only to see that there was no shadow guarding the side, staring at him silently After drinking the water, he said upside down: "I'll go add it." ”

Shen Fengming drank alcohol regularly, but he was so drunk that he didn't remember when. At that moment, he sat on the couch for a while, and the shadow of the wall compartment came in again, followed by the old shopkeeper. "I woke up. The old shopkeeper complained, "What? I said that you should wait for a long time, and Xia Gongzi will probably come, but you can't wait—this is good, you must have eaten someone and poured wine, so drunk that you don't even recognize the old man." It's cheap for you, just pouring wine. I was afraid that you were going to die. ”

Shen Fengming was silent, took the water in Wuying's hand and drank it again, wiped his mouth, and said, "No one poured me, I drank it myself." He got out of bed after putting down the bowl, remembered something, and turned to him again: "-That's her father, even if it's my life, I have to go, don't you?" You have been married to more than ten daughters, and you still don't understand this reason?"

"It's a pity that my daughters are married, so I don't have to be with you. The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss Qiu is okay?"

Shen Fengming glared at him. This month is almost every day with okra, even if she still makes the appearance of not far away, but people always raise their eyes and raise their heads, as if they can touch it at any time. This time she went back to the forbidden city, but she really couldn't touch it. He drank happily and chatted happily with Suzaku again, but in the end he still refused to let okra live in the outer city. Shen Fengming's heart fell empty at this moment, as if he had lost, he didn't want to respond to this, and walked out.

After waking up, he was hungry, he ate a meal, and he talked to Ahe and a few people, and suddenly received a quick letter from the forbidden city. The letter was naturally sent by Xia Yan. When he saw him in a hurry last night, he didn't have time to explain everything clearly, and now that he planned to stay by Suzaku's side for a while, the matter of Heizhu could only be entrusted to Shen Fengming.

Shen Fengming frowned and finished reading the letter, snorted, and took it into his arms. The others were also expected, only Xia Yan told him not to go to Zhilu in private for the time being, which seemed abrupt. Needless to say, nine times out of ten this is what Song Ran meant—at least the last time Xia Yan asked himself to look for Song Ran, it wasn't this tone.

Hey, Song Ran. He said secretly in his heart. I should have known that the family surnamed Song was very annoying, and he and his younger brother Song Ke were really unpleasant.

It was also that he was in a bad mood at the moment, knowing that even if it was really Song Ran's meaning, it was not malicious, but he still thought about it, especially when he talked to Song Ran that day, it was actually very smooth, but the more this was the case, the more unhappy he felt at this time, and he even thought that he had agreed to the inexplicable Guining banquet afterwards, and he would have to feast the two brothers plus Lou Qianshan, and he became more and more irritable.

He got up and kicked away the stool, and without greeting anyone, he went out of the city.

Go outside the city - in fact, go to the "Houtu Hall" on the Niren Ridge. Xia Yan handed over a matter to him to take over, and the one thing he cared about the most was this Hoututang. Even if there will be no more big weddings on October 26, no matter when he and Thorn get married in the future, this place will always be useful, and it will be an important matter for Heizhu to build it early.

Moreover, just as Xia Yan hid in the forbidden city to escape all kinds of thoughts about the stabs, why wasn't Shen Fengming hiding from some kind of thoughts? Compared to a drunken pavilion, compared to his own home, this place is still much more pure-hearted and less desired.

However, Shen Fengming's temperament is still not quite the same as Xia Yan's. On the sixth day of the Governor of Hoututang, he was so depressed that he could not stay any longer, and after noon he returned to the city, and when he entered a drunken pavilion, he asked if there was anything new in the next day. Ah He looked very hesitant, and approached Ai Ai and said, "There is no one on the side, it's just ...... Shadowless and his mother both ran away. ”

Before Shen Fengming could sit down, he looked up at him suspiciously, Ah He hurriedly sat down and approached, "His father is back." ”

"Are you back so soon?" Shen Fengming thought in his heart that Wu Tiantong and the others were seriously injured, and they should still be recuperating in Dongting, but they were also thinking about their families, and they couldn't stay away for a long time.

"Yes, just this morning, I heard that a few of the brothers in our meeting came back, and Wuying said that his father and master also came back, and the injuries were not light. I said that I would come to a drunken pavilion and take care of it, but I didn't know that his father would not come, which was good, but they refused to come, and of course they had to go without a shadow - I couldn't stop it. ”

"Thorn and okra are no longer here, and there is nothing to do with their mother and son. Shen Fengming said, "Just let them go." ”

As he was talking, he saw Wuying leading a woman to the door, and saw Shen Fengming sitting in the hall, as if he was stunned for a moment, and then he became happy, ran in and said, "Brother Shen, you are the best......!

Before he finished speaking, the woman also stepped in, "Yo, this son, is in charge here, right?"

"I? I'm not. - There's an old man in charge here. Shen Fengming pointed up at the counter, but his eyes honestly and unceremoniously looked her up and down twice, and saw that the woman was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, but her figure was very slender and slender, and she couldn't help but smile, "...... But I'm not here at this time, if my sister wants to buy wine, I can give you two catties. ”
