Vast snowflakes cover the entire bustling city of Kyoto.

In the Yanyun Pavilion, the prosperous atmosphere of fat powder is still as strong as before.

King Jin sat in the center to preside over the overall situation, and at this moment, he glanced at the few people present who were in a slightly drunk state, and finally slowly focused his eyes on the figure in the corner.

"Brother Chen, why are you sullen alone?" he raised his glass at Chen Mingye on the other side of the table.

Chen Mingye turned his head when he heard his voice, his eyes were indifferent, but he also raised his glass: "The grass people are panicked, and they are a little nervous when they first enter Kyoto. ”

King Jin smiled slightly, and slowly stood up.

King Jin was together, and the people at the table naturally stood up.

"Your Highness, who are you?" Zuo Qiu's face turned a little red, and when he spoke at this moment, his tongue seemed to be a little knotted.

"It's nothing, you all sit down. King Jin smiled and shook his head.

Since King Jin exited, everyone naturally had to sit down.

Chen Mingye looked at the long figure walking towards him, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. The others stood up and sat down, but he didn't move the whole time.

Meng Che, who was already slightly drunk after drinking a few glasses, looked at him and deliberately laughed: "Brother Chen, King Jin personally came to toast you, it seems that you will be rich and noble in the future, don't forget to invite me, the leader, to dinner when the time comes." ”

Chen Mingye didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense, looked at King Jin who came over, and slowly stood up: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

King Jin smiled at him, but did not answer, but asked: "Brother Chen is from Yuzhou?"

Chen Mingye nodded: "Yes." ”

"What is there to eat and play in this Yuzhou?" King Jin said, but Shi Shiran sat down in the vacant seat beside him, raised his glass to him, and waved his hand to let him sit down, this look really looked like he came to talk.

Chen Mingye raised his glass and drank together, put down the cup and replied: "Yuzhou is a place after all, where can Kyoto gather the prosperity of the world, His Royal Highness's question is ashamed." ”

"Each region has its own characteristics," King Jin just smiled when he saw him say this, and continued, "For some reason, this website always has a sense of déjà vu when I see Brother Chen. ”

"I'm afraid it's because of my name," Chen Mingye smiled and took the initiative to say it, "When I first met those sons, they already told me about the connection, and it was really an honor to be similar to your old friends." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, King Jin looked at him deeply, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "Brother Chen's trip is not only for the imperial examination in the coming year, but also for the intention of doing deep learning." ”

"This is natural, my generation of scholars, should continue to learn from the past saints, open up the cultural context of the future generations, and live up to the ambitions in their hearts. Chen Mingye said this, and a touch of excitement appeared on his face.

"That's right," King Jin nodded, "Brother Chen has such ambitions, and this king believes that your name will definitely be on the list of this year's Spring Festival." It's just, it's a pity......"

"What is a pity?" Chen Mingye said with a puzzled face, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a pity that Brother Chen has such martial arts, but he can't make contributions to open up territory for Haoming, don't hide it from Brother Chen, today I heard that Brother Meng personally confirmed your talent, I even want to take you back to Beizhou," King Jin said, his face was also full of regret.

"Beizhou?" Chen Mingye was slightly stunned.

"Yes, now my fiefdom is in Beizhou, and my father ordered me to guard the north, which is really to prevent the Northern Desert. King Jin nodded and said, "I have always felt that there is a lack of good generals under my account, so when I see Brother Chen today, I can't help but want to express my heart." ”

"Thanks to His Royal Highness's high opinion, the one and a half moves I learned in Xia are only halfway to becoming a monk, and I can't get on the stage. It's a shame to have His Royal Highness's words!" Chen Mingye said this, but his face was full of excitement, he stood up with his wine glass in both hands, and toasted to King Jin.

King Jin hurriedly supported him with both hands and laughed: "Brother Chen is too polite, everything I say is emotional in my heart, and there is no lie." However, you are aiming for the imperial examination, but it is also a road to heaven, I only hope that you and I can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Chen Mingye naturally knew the meaning of King Jin's words, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your auspicious words, you will work hard to live up to Your Highness's expectations." ”

"Good!" King Jin nodded in satisfaction.

A wine banquet, a table full of drinks. King Jin claimed that he was not strong enough to drink, and took a few people to leave the banquet, and when he left, he greeted a few people present, and threatened that today's expenses have been all covered, and everyone will continue to enjoy themselves.

The two brothers of Zuo Qiu and Tian didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and one of them hugged a beauty and drank and had fun there.

Yan Wendao didn't take long to leave with Li Gongzi of the Chengyi Bo family, and when he was about to leave, he deliberately came around to say hello to Chen Mingye and them, and said with a smile that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had already covered the expenses, so he just had fun.

Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders helplessly, glanced at Meng Che, who was already drunk not far away, smiled bitterly, and saw that Zuo Qiu's side didn't pay attention to his meaning, pulled Meng Che up and went downstairs.

A few guards who had been guarding hurriedly followed, and Xiaohong obediently pulled the hem of his clothes, following suit.

The smell of red dust wine is greeted by a gust of cold wind. Outside the Smoke Cloud Pavilion, the snow is getting heavier and heavier.

When Chen Mingye helped Meng Che out, it was already too late.

Several guards estimated that they had listened to Meng's orders on the way back, and they were all led by him, and they did not come up to speak after them.

Chen Mingye glanced back at them a little helplessly: "Everyone, let's lead the way, I don't know your Meng family's mansion either." ”

The people behind answered as if they had just woken up from a dream and led the way to the front.

Returning home along the way, the road was safe, and there were no additional forks. Meng Che leaned on the body of the guard, his body was draped with a piece of felt, and the gusting night wind did not prevent him from sleeping soundly. Xiaohong leaned on Chen Mingye's arms, quietly looking around all the way, looking at this central city in the world.

Located in the south of the city, the Meng Mansion is a concentration of aristocratic mansions.

Chen Mingye is actually very familiar with this area, not to mention that the former Qiguo Mansion is located here, just the number of times he has visited the Meng Mansion, even if he closes his eyes, he estimates that he can touch the door of the Meng Mansion from the street.

On the bluestone slab, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the night clearly. On this road to Mengfu, it is not far along the way, and you can just see the former site of the original Qiguo Mansion.

A few of the guards walked in front of them without any stop, and walked slowly past with their horses.

Chen Mingye looked at the mansion not far away, the courtyard was cold, and the entire mansion was submerged in the night, without the slightest light.

He suddenly felt a little cold in his heart.

The snow above his head fell one after another, falling on his head, body, and hands, all over the bluestone pavement, but it didn't seem to be as cold as his heart at the moment.

Close but can't enter, look at each other and dare not forget.

Xiaohong's spiritual sense has always been keen, and at this moment it seems that he has felt something, turned around, stretched out his little hand and gently pulled his sleeve, and his voice was soft and glutinous: "Little junior brother, are you okay?"

Chen Mingye shook his head slightly, and the horses under him moved forward step by step, the sound of hooves was crisp, and one by one, it seemed to be carved into the depths of his heart.

After all, you can't calmly cover up all your emotions, and after all, when you see it, your heart will tremble inexplicably.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to turn his head away and stop looking in that direction.

It's just that in that direction, there is a figure facing him and walking towards him without dodging.

Chen Mingye didn't care, and he didn't turn his head, but he didn't expect the figure to stand still beside them and speak slowly.

"Yo, you're back?"
