On the sixth day of the first month of September, the Qin Mansion put up lanterns, beat gongs and drums, danced dragons and lions, and was not publicized. The full-text and ad-free novels are all in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info there are endless cars and horses in front of the Qin Mansion, all of them are luxurious, the Qin Mansion family guards outside the gate, respectfully greets the colorful old masters, young masters and ladies and ladies, all of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, many women are gorgeously dressed and bright, wearing jewelry is heavy and mixed, and the fat powder is thicker than the skin, which is a lively scene outside the rivers and lakes.

Feng Xiaoyin, Man Jianghong and Sheng Nan stood in the crowd, seeing this scene, they understood that this was incompatible with the rivers and lakes, but they were still close to the edge of the rivers and lakes, but why did Chuan Yu face two completely different roads and environments?

Perhaps, this environment really created zào out of his character.

Today is Qin Chuanyu's eighteenth birthday.

Yin'er glanced at the man beside her: it was also his eighteenth birthday. However, Shengnan himself never had his birthday once, and was almost forgotten by fate.

The extravagance of the banquet can be imagined, Chuan Yu sits in the most conspicuous position, these things, he has been used to since he was a child, and he does not show his likes or dislikes, if he can, is it just that, four years ago to support Xu Yuan, four years to support Lin Qian?

So in the past half a month, he has been establishing his prestige in the literary world?

This is the real Lin Mo's mission...... Chuan Yu sighed, enjoying the staggering.

A long-bearded petty official sat beside Qin Xiangchao and toasted and flattered: "Lord Qin, Mrs. Qin is a blessing, the eldest young master is not only a talent, but also a well-known civil and military talent, and the young master has a bright future in the future." The future is bright!"

Yu Ziyan glanced at Chuan Yu, she was from the rivers and lakes, and she understood what had happened in recent days, with pity and affirmation in her eyes.

Maybe the son is older, and he doesn't understand, he cares about what he doesn't care about, this praise doesn't make his expression change in any way, he always keeps smiling, and seems to be tolerant of all qiē.

She gently sandwiched a chopstick dish for him, and as a mother, what she could grasp the most was her son's appetite.

Another official praised even more fiercely: "Xiang Chao, I heard that Chuan Yu's ability has surpassed you! The thieves in Jiankang City have been reduced by ninety percent in half a month!"

Qin Xiangchao laughed: "There is a gang that gathers people to make trouble, and I have been unable to suppress it several times, and soon after Chuan Yu came back, the incident was calmed down." There was a sound of surprise all around, and everyone's eyes focused on Chuan Yu, and the officials among them discussed: "This gang seems to be Xiao Qinhuai, right?"

"It's not, Xiao Qinhuai has been making a lot of trouble in the past few years!"

Qin Xiangchao turned his head to another official: "Lord Zhuo was the magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture two years ago, so he should have suffered the most, right!?" Lord Zhuo skimmed his beard: "Yes, little Qin Huai was founded in Pingjiang many years ago, and he sang and harmonized with Murong Villa, and made trouble at two ends for three days, and said that he was an anti-gold organization, and he was obviously working against the imperial court!" "Yes, I have been to Lin'an, and Lin'an also has it! This little Qin Huai is lawless and can't be suppressed at all!" "How did the young master suppress it?"

Chuan Yu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Although Xiao Qinhuai is an enemy of the imperial court, it is also the imperial court that has a contradiction first, for them, of course, it is not suppressed but appeased, is it that everyone is an official and regards the people as enemies?"

Many people's faces were blue and white, embarrassed. Qin Chuanyu smiled, Lord Zhuo hurriedly took a sip of wine, and another official hurriedly diverted the topic: "Young Master Qin is worthy of being a person who has been in the martial arts before, of course anti-gold must be put in the first place!"

Lord Zhuo improvised, and rolled his eyes a few times to cover the previous embarrassment: "Young Master Qin will be the age of a weak crown next year, shouldn't he get married?"

The guests came with interest: "Yes, Su Yumei from Su Mansion is slim and slim, and she is very worthy of the young master!"

"Miss Wei Chi is not bad!"

When Su Yumei and Wei Chixue heard this, they all blushed and bowed their heads, and Mrs. Qin looked over at the woman and smiled: "Actually, I have been preparing for a long time...... Moreover, you can get married in just a few days......"

Lord Zhuo sighed: "Then forget it, but I heard that Chen Yuan, the most brilliant talented woman in Qin Huai, is not only beautiful, but also talented and virtuous, and her reputation for cold and glamorous has been passed to Gusu, and she has not been moved by anyone in Jiankang for many years, but she admires Young Master Qin alone, and all other men are rejected thousands of miles away......"

Qin Chuanyu didn't seem to care about getting married in a few days, and said softly: "It's a pity that Chen Yuan has seen a lot in the land of fireworks after all, sinking into the world and falling into the cliché. Lord Zhuo's evaluation of her is too high. ”

Lord Zhuo's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't dare to provoke him again, so he had to gather like things and drink with others.

Mrs. Qin looked at her son with a smile: "In a few days, as long as you nod your head, we will do it." Chuan Yu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't drift around in the future, of course, I am in Jiankang, first start a family and then start a business, for the rest of my life." ”

She heard some desolation in the words, and felt even more guilty in her heart - her departure had killed her two sons......

Chuan Yu held her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll handle this qiē well." ”

????

Outside the window, there was a faint layer of clouds in the sky, covering the sky below the crescent moon, and two or three stars hung very incongruously above the canopy, very bright and dazzling.

Chuan Yu listened to the toasts and guessing fists in the room, ignored it, smiled, but suppressed, is this officialdom?

The second time I looked out the window, the clouds gradually covered the moon, the moon was bright, and the clouds were cut into several layers, the outer layer was light, the middle layer was thin, and the inner layer was empty and ethereal.

The sound of firecrackers fills the ears, mixed with silk and bamboo, and the beautiful music appears here, but it is vulgar.

The third time outward, the clouds had moved away, and were scattered for a long time, like white satin on black silk, and the stars twinkled on the silk, flickering and flickering, flickering and flickering.

People were drunk, and the sight was a mess of cups and plates.

Chuan Yu suddenly thought of the rivers and lakes that had been isolated for two or three years, yes, there was no old man, and there was no deep friendship in the world at that time, but the martial arts conference four years ago, the sword and sword shadow four years ago...... There is also the double knife that his father took him by the hand and walked on the mountain road more than ten years ago and asked him if he dared to mention it, but more than ten years later, it appeared in the hands of another person...... The rivers and lakes have been close, but they have gone far......

However, although there is no old man in the rivers and lakes, it hides the deepest thoughts in his heart!

The moment he knew, was it too late......

When the banquet was dispersed, the dignitaries and nobles drunkenly dragged their bloated bodies out, leaning in two steps and falling in five steps, and their servants were terrified, for fear that they would have a drunken attack. Mrs. Qin also helped the old man who was too drunk to leave.

Chuan Yu got up and went out, a few musicians and technical troupes were evacuating, and then looked at the sky, the clouds dispersed, everything was silent, the sky was dark and deep, the moon was like a brand in it, the color of white jade, hollow, but precious.

Chuan Yu turned around and went back to the house, the servants were cleaning the house, most of the dishes in the house were not finished, but they were so polluted that they could no longer eat, despite this, they were still quietly hidden in the pockets of the servants, Chuan Yu pretended to turn a blind eye, and did not want to see these jade plate delicacies again.

Turning around, he suddenly heard a sobbing, and a six or seven-year-old boy servant was wiping his tears while cleaning up, Chuan Yu felt pity and stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?"

When the little boy saw him, he stopped crying, and quickly wiped his snot and tears with his sleeve: "It's okay, young master, it's okay!"

Chuan Yu handed over his hand tokerchief: "Is there something going on at home?"

The little boy said, "My brother has been sick for many days! The doctor said he wanted to drink chicken soup...... I can't afford to buy chicken soup at home......" said while not daring to take the handkerchief, Chuan Yu frowned: "What's your name?"

The little boy servant sobbed: "The little one is called Chongli, ......write it like this" Chuan Yu saw his hand wipe a few crooked black marks on the ground, and stroked his head: "Chongli, bring this bowl of chicken soup back and heat it for my brother, the young master has some silver here, you go buy something to replenish your brother's body......"

Chongli's eyes widened, and he said happily: "Young master......"

Qin Chuanyu put the money in his pocket: "Go home early today, my brother is still waiting to eat......"

Chongli stayed where he was, he was so thin that it was pitiful, his head was bigger than his body, and he was not well developed.

Qin Chuanyu smiled: "Go back!" Chongli burst into tears again, and kowtowed to thank him while crying: "Thank you, young master!" got up again, carefully holding the chicken soup and leaving......

Chuan Yu watched his thin figure go away, and his nose was sour: If I have a son, I must love him well......

Suddenly, I thought of something, yes, if we grew up together in the Short Knife Valley, wouldn't he and his brother be like now, they didn't have the slightest family affection at all, but they had to advance and retreat for the rivers and lakes!

In fact, he didn't admit that Lin Shengnan was his brother, the sentence "It turned out to be you" was his own concession and the reward he deserved!

Iron-hearted, out of the Qin Mansion, walking on the riverside, I can hear the song from afar, vaguely "Yushu Backyard Flower", the more ironic, the more widespread, far-reaching, cool breeze, he looked at the clear moon shadow in the water, yes, the deeper the hidden person, the greater the pressure in his heart, but there is no one to talk to, nowhere to vent......

By the Qinhuai River, there are a lot of pedestrians, behind him, constantly shuttling back and forth, he was standing by the bridge to watch the scenery, but he heard two words behind him in an instant, "Lin Qian", a brush, he was startled, called the name of more than ten years, Lin Qian, the fact that it has been deep in the blood, he turned his head and went to pursue, the lights were dim, leaving only the figures of two drunks, he wanted to chase, but he couldn't move his footsteps, Lin Qian, it was fleeting......

Chuan Yu was stunned in place, Lin Qian, who are you talking about?

In the sea of people, that name still tugged at his heartstrings, so that in the noisy streets, he immediately heard the conversation between the two people later-

"Alas, Lin Shengnan, what a fortune, he was originally a spy who had nothing, but as a result, he became Lin Qian!"

"What's the solution? Not everyone is so lucky! But then again, this Lin Qian is better than the one in the past!"

Chuan Yu was stunned and stepped forward unconsciously.

"In the past, the sword technique was not as proficient as it is now, although it was not bad, but after all, he did not hone much more, and the city government was afraid that he was not as deep! Tianjiao's vision would not be wrong, I heard that Tianjiao praised Lin Shengnan before and after people, saying that he would definitely lead the Short Knife Valley to go well in the future. ”

"Tianjiao has said so, that's right! No wonder Lin Chujiang hid his son before, originally because he was worried that his son was not qualified to compete with Tianjiao, so now this, is it okay to ......?"

"It's hard to say, wait until he enters the Short Knife Valley, and then look at it! Anyway, Tianjiao values this one more, of course he has to sacrifice the previous one!"

Suddenly understood this qiē, although it was said by two inconsequential people. Sacrifice the previous one...... At that time, who forced himself to remove his hand from the scroll and hold the sword, and at that time, who let himself put aside a qiē and go to the country of Jin for the sake of the rivers and lakes? At that time, he didn't understand anything, he only hoped to be able to stick to his ideals, and when the ideals had just been transferred to the anti-Jin, suddenly they sacrificed their love for the rivers and lakes!

He didn't know how to get home, pushed open the door, saw Yu Ziyan sitting in the room waiting for him, and said softly: "Mother." ”

Yu Ziyan stepped forward happily: "You're finally back!Chuanyu, where have you been?"

He didn't know how to ask her, but he couldn't help asking: "Mother, who should I give the knife to?"

She didn't notice the helplessness in his eyes, and smiled: "Haven't you already decided to give it to your brother?"

Qin Chuanyu understood her answer in an instant, and said softly: "Let it be given to him, so sacrifice me?"

Yu Ziyan's body was shocked, and he suddenly felt cold: "No, it's not like this Chuanyu, he hasn't lived a good life, he ......"

"Because I feel guilty about him, all the people in the rivers and lakes refuse to seek my opinion and give him the knife of drinking and hating, but I only hope that my mother will remain neutral, don't think like this, and don't feel guilty about him anymore. When Chuan Yu spoke, there was an age-inappropriate sadness on his face.

Wuyi Lane.

A few swallows occasionally flew in the air.

The setting sun dotted the road reddish, and in the old days, Wang Xie Tang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Qin Chuanyu sighed: "The changes in the dynasty are really too big. ”

He Siyuan smiled: "Cousin, what direction does our country think will go in the future?"

Qin Chuanyu caressed the old traces: "I always have a hunch that in my lifetime, I will see the Song family perish." ”

Yu Chixue was shocked and looked around: "How can Brother Qin say this?"

He Siyuan smiled lightly: "Sister Wei Chi, why should she deceive herself?"

Yu Chixue was stunned for a moment, and Qin Chuanyu smiled bitterly: "Another year of looking at the king of the south." ”

Turning around, He Siyuan looked at his faint shadow in the sunset, these days, she followed his footsteps, and where she passed, she only saw the smoke and moon of the Qinhuai River, the swagger of Taoyedu, and the stream island of Bailuzhou, so as to experience the rise and fall of Jiankang, the ups and downs of the world, and the scenery she browsed, all of which had nothing to do with the rivers and lakes.

"Cousin, you seem to have been wandering around Jiankang City, playing with this life...... "He Siyuan said.

"Playing this life, you don't use the right words, it should be called, game. Chuan Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, cousin likes this kind of life very much, doesn't he?" He Siyuan looked at him with a smile, "There is only one Appreciation Pavilion left in Jiankang City to play......

Love this life?

Qin Chuanyu sighed and said softly: "In this world, the deepest feeling is not liking, but nostalgia. ”

He Siyuan and Wei Chixue must not have understood the thoughts in his heart.

Xu Yuan stood in the corner of the alley not far away, and when he heard this sentence, he could finally understand that Chuan Yu's loneliness at this time, and Shengnan's scruples in the future, the wind in the sunset was a little hurtful, and I hope that we would not lose both.

Drinking and hating the knife, the blank space between Lin Qian and Lin Mo.

Some pain, everyone understands.
