The carriage stopped outside the mansion gate, Jin Yi and Fu Mingfang got off the car, a small figure shot over like a sword from the string, Fu Ming crouched down and picked Zhaoyan up.

With tears in Zhaoyan's eyes, he laughed and cried and said, "Daddy, you are finally back, why did you come home!"

Fu Ming hugged him and kept coaxing and persuading him, but Jin Yi pulled Zhaoyan out of Fu Ming's arms and put him down, but he still held him, two big and one small, followed by his attendants. People, go in together.

Fu Ming first returned to Fangmanting to bathe and change.

These days, summer is getting deeper and deeper, and the lotus flowers are blooming just right in Fangman Court. Xiang Lan was picking a few branches and putting them in a bottle, ready to send them to Miss Lelan. Seeing that Fu Ming and Lu Fei were waiting for their return, she hurriedly put down the vase, kept asking for warmth, helping to empty her luggage, and pouring tea and water. rest.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "We're not here these days, but we've suffocated you. Look at you, you're more like a swallow than a swallow in the mountains!"

Qianlan also smiled and said: "What am I like, you still don't know? It's you, I see, it seems that I am happier than when I went out! Is that Cuiwei Mountain too boring, and finally came back, you are happy, or it happened What good things make you so happy?"

Lu Fei pulled Xianlan aside and whispered in her ear. When Xianlan heard it, the smile on her face couldn't stop overflowing. Seeing this, Fu Ming knew what they were whispering, so he pretended not to see or hear, and after drinking the tea to relieve the heat, he stepped out of the hospital.

Lu Fei hurriedly pushed Xianglan: "Follow me, I'm tired too, let me rest today."

"Then go back to the room and sleep. If you are hungry and thirsty, tell the little girls. Let's talk about it later in the evening." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly trotted to catch up with Fu Ming.

Fang walked out of the courtyard door, and saw Jin Yizheng approaching Fangmanting not far away. Today, the old lady was setting meals in the house, and Jin Qiang came to pick up Fu Ming. In the past, where did my son get such treatment? Qianlan believed Lu Fei's words, and everything changed in January in the mountains.

When they got to the old lady's house, Ren Lan, Zhaoyan and Xinyue were all there, but Mrs Wang was not there. Fu Ming looked at Jin Yi, Jin Yi glanced back at him, Fu Mingming understood, and a faint joy grew in his heart.

Jin Yi took out the letters from the maids to each of them. The ceremony was light but affectionate. The old lady smiled and said, "Amitabha, I can't think of this for a long time. Brother Ming must have bothered."

Jin Yi replied with a slight smile: "The old lady has a bright mind, and it is indeed Brother Ming's idea." In the Liuli Temple, the figure of Fu Mingchang kneeling and praying to the Buddha appeared in Jin Yi's heart. For a moment, I really believed in gods and Buddhas.

Zhaoyan was even more delighted when he got the gift. He kept waving the wooden sword in his hand and asked Fu Ming, "What are the characters engraved on it?" incomplete.

Fu Ming pointed to the words on the top and read them one by one: "It's 'The autumn water will give you a gift, don't smash your enemies'." Then he explained to Zhaoyan the meaning of these two lines:

"The ancients said that a good sword is like autumn water, and this sword is given to Yan'er. Yan'er should be like a gentleman. Although he has a good sword in his hand, he will never use this sword for personal favors or grievances."

Jin Yi also said: "The martial artist has a way. Weapons cannot be used arbitrarily in their hands. They must be used for the most worthy people and things."

Zhaoyan seemed to understand, but only followed Fu Ming to repeat these two sentences a few times, and then waved happily again.

Seeing that Zhaoyan was no longer pestering Fu Ming, Ren Lan sniffed the sachet in her hand and asked with a smile, "This scent is very fresh, I've never smelled it before, Brother Ming, what's in here?"

Xinyue also said: "I smelled such fragrances for the first time. I can only smell one or two of them, but I don't know the others."

Fu Ming listed the types of flowers and plants in the bag one by one, and then said: "The ancients knew about these flowers and plants, and they often included them in poems and poems. Although many are unknown now, their fragrance is still undiminished. Vanilla is suitable for gifts to beautiful women. The two of you like it."

Both Renlan and Xinyue said they "liked it very much".

During the conversation, Qingwu went back and forth with the old lady, saying that the dishes were ready, and asked if the meal was ready.

The old lady said: "After traveling so far, I must be hungry and tired. Eat early and go back to rest."

After dinner at the same table, everyone dispersed. Zhaoyan also insisted to sleep with Fu Ming and Jin Yi.

Fu Ming took Zhaoyan's hand and smiled: "Okay, let's go back to Fangmanting together." He raised his head and asked Jin Yi, "Do you want to go together?"

Jin Yi stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Naturally. Asking if you know it."

Fu Ming's face was slightly hot, but he said, "Why do you ask for it knowingly? Maybe I haven't seen the old man for a long time, so I'm going to meet you!"

"You said that, it shows that my previous efforts were in vain." Jin Yi also laughed uncontrollably, "Mr. dignified, why do you say such things?"

Fu Ming's face was still red, but he couldn't help laughing, "What do I say? If you don't like it, I won't say anything in the future."

Jin Yi shook his head and smiled back: "if you want to talk about it, I don't like it. Just don't think too much about it. You know exactly what I mean."

"What do you mean, if you don't tell me, how will I know?"

"Are you sure you want me to speak in front of Yan'er?"

Fu Ming hurriedly shook his head, but Zhao Yan raised his neck and asked, "What are you going to say? Why can't you say it in front of Yan'er?"

Fu Ming was embarrassed, and quickly led Zhaoyan to speed up the pace, and changed the subject: "What have Yan'er learned these days?"

Zhaoyan obediently followed what Yueyu had learned one by one, and Jin Yi followed closely behind them, with a deep joy in his eyes unconsciously.

The next day, Jin Yi got up early to go to the court, and Zhaoyan also went to the clan school to listen to his teacher's lecture. Fu Ming had nothing to do, so he recorded what he saw in Cuiwei Mountain in Fangmanting, and prepared to draw a few more while his memory was fresh. picture.

There was a rumor from the front that the young master of the Zhou family was visiting.

The two met, and before they were seated, Zhou Chengyan said, "I'm looking forward to coming back at last! But brother Ming, you returned yesterday, and I'll be here today, so I didn't delay your rest, right?"

Fu Ming smiled back: "How come? You came so early, so it's obvious that you value my friend."

"That's right." Zhou Chengyan said, "Brother Ming went to Cuiwei Palace to escape the summer with King Xin this time. What interesting things can you tell me?"

Fu Ming picked a few things to say. Zhou Chengyan heard that Fu Ming had rehearsed a Tang Daqu, and was very pleasantly surprised, and said, "Let's get people together to rehearse another day!"

"More than a hundred skilled musicians and kabuki are not easy to find."

"Let's find Yanle and Qingsun to join the team together. With them, it's not difficult to get these people together."

However, Fu Ming still shook his head and said, "This big song originated from the palace. Let's rehearse in private, it's not in line with the rules, that's all."

Zhou Chengyan heard the words and understood, with a look of regret on his face, and said, "It's a pity that I didn't get to see it. I'm fine. If Qingsun knew about it, I still don't know how to beat my chest and feet!"

Fu Ming smiled and said, "He's not here, you can arrange him. However, since this matter is about to end, it's better not to let him know."

Zhou Chengyan nodded, looked at Fu Ming, and when Fu Ming cast a suspicious look at him, he said, "Brother Ming, I think you seem to have changed a little?"

Fu Ming asked, "It has changed? How has it changed?"

Zhou Chengyan scrutinized the person for a long time and replied, "I can't tell, but, in short, it has become more attractive and charming."

Fu Ming laughed dumbly and said, "You stop talking nonsense and make fun of me!"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhou Chengyan didn't want to explain more, so he talked about other things, and invited Fu Ming to gather with everyone another day, and Fu Ming agreed.

Zhou Chengyan still had other things to do, so it was inconvenient to stay longer. After drinking a cup of tea prepared by Fu Ming himself, Yiyi said goodbye and left.

In the evening, when Jin Yicai came back from the yamen, he didn't go back to his yard and went directly to Fangmanting.

Fu Ming asked the kitchen to re-prepare food, accompanied Jin Yi to use it, and then undressed and combed his hair for him. When he relaxed, the two sat on the bamboo couch outside the eaves to enjoy the coolness and talk, while the herbs that repelled mosquitoes were burning next to them, but a few Only Liuying didn't care about the blue smoke, flying up and down in the low sky, facing the sparse stars in the sky far away.

Fu Ming asked Jin Yi that he had been away from Beijing for such a long time that he was still busy with the accumulated official duties. Jin Yi asked Fu Ming what he did in the day. After the two said some personal words, Jin Yi told Fu Ming: "Brother Xiangxian asked to go to Liangzhou to guard the border. The court has approved it, and he will leave in a few days."

Fu Ming was quite surprised, "Why did you suddenly ask yourself to guard the border?"

Jin Yi replied: "Although the Liangzhou border has been peaceful in recent years, it has also been undercurrent. Brother Xiangxian is a man of aspirations, and he asked himself to guard the border to find opportunities for meritorious service. Besides, he often stays in the court. In the middle, it is useless after all, and it is always for him to go."

"In that case, let's say goodbye to him."

"Well." Jin Yi said, "Don't be sad, there are times when you get together."

Fu Mingdao: "I also know that there are times when we gather and disperse, but when we finally get together again, it is quicker to disperse. The short ones always gather, and the long ones always disperse."

Jin Yidao: "Everyone has their own aspirations. You can't walk together. Naturally, there are fewer gatherings and more separations. But we can always get together for a long time."

Hearing this, Fu Ming showed a faint smile, "Master is right."

Looking up at the sky, the stars are getting denser, and the stars are gradually moving closer and farther away, and some, such as Shenchen and Shangxing, will never meet, and some will fall in an instant and then annihilate.

Fu Ming and Jin Yi leaned on each other, and Fu Ming asked, "There is a saying that the dead will turn into stars in the sky, and there is also a saying that the stars in the sky are the living ones on the ground, and people die when they die. What do you think?"

Jin Yi lowered his head slightly, looked at Fu Ming, and smiled suddenly: "I don't believe these statements, I just think you are the star in my eyes."

Jiujiuwufu suddenly said such a sentence, which echoed in Fu Minger's center for a long time, making it difficult for him to think about other things.

I have read all the poems on Fengyue, and I can't even say a word of this person. It turns out that the taste of love must be tasted in person to know how ecstasy is.

Fu Ming was silent for a long time in Jin Yi's arms. A drop of water on the lotus leaf slipped quietly and fell into the pool with a loud noise. Fu Ming came back to his senses, and when he looked up again, the jade rope turned low, only to know that the time was dark and the night was deep.

The author has something to say:

"The autumn water is poured down to give you a gift, don't smash your enemies thinly" is adapted from Liu Cha, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "A piece of ancient water flows to my palm.
