Meng Qiqi glanced at Sheng Jiayan apologetically, but Sheng Jiayan had nothing but a bowl of hot chicken soup for her.
Seeing this, Xiang Dingchen also wanted to give Meng Eqi a chopstick to eat her favorite green bamboo shoots, which chopsticks walked into the air, Xiang Dingchen met Sheng Jiayan's gaze, and he changed the direction of the chopsticks unexpectedly. , put the green bamboo shoots into Mo Chunfeng's bowl.
Mo Chunfeng pouted and glanced at Xiang Dingchen: "I don't like eating green bamboo shoots!"
Having said that, he still ate it honestly.
Meng Eqi couldn't wait to know more about his past, Mo Chunfeng also spoke eloquently, and Xiang Dingchen echoed a few words from time to time. When she was dancing, she pushed the tableware and chopsticks in front of her a little further, so as not to overturn the soup bowl with her hands and burn herself.
When the four of them talked about being happy, Meng Eqi was also a little drunk, and she raised her glass abruptly: "I wish the four of us live and die together, never leave or give up."
"Who wants to live and die with you, but I want to live a hundred years!" Mo Chunfeng stopped, raised his head and smothered his glass of wine. His eyes were bright, and he was obviously a little drunk: "Meng Qiqi, Meng Qiqi, why are you so lucky? Your Highness doesn't like anyone, just like... uh..."
Mo Chunfeng covered his mouth by Xiang Dingchen, who was still calm, and said to Sheng Jiayan: "My lord, Chunfeng has drunk too much. Shall we go back to the Gao Mansion first or?"
Only then did Sheng Jiayan put down his chopsticks and said lightly, "You take him back first, I'm going to take Qiqi to a place."
Mo Chunfeng pushed Xiang Dingchen's hand away and spat: "You fool, your hands are too stinky."
Mo Chunfeng was scolded and carried away by Xiang Dingchen. Meng Eqi was slightly drunk and her cheeks were red and hot. She looked at Sheng Jiayan with eyes like a rabbit, and Sheng Jiayan's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.
"Ayan, where are we going?" She stopped, grabbing Sheng Jiayan's sleeves with both hands.
Sheng Jiayan looked down at her slender hand, and slowly held it in his palm: "Youzhou City has a famous large-scale dry building, which is four stories high. Would you like to go and have a look?"
Meng Qiqi nodded as if pecking at rice, and forgot to resist the hand that Sheng Jiayan grabbed.
Sheng Jiayan led Meng Eqi to walk on the endless street with people coming and going, Meng Eqi only felt that Sheng Jiayan was holding her tightly, and later Sheng Jiayan simply half-protected her in his arms.
At this time, the color has darkened, the bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are counting.
"I seem to remember." Meng Qiqi scratched her head, as if trying to recall: "One year you seemed to be holding me like this, wandering the streets. It seems like... Shangyuan Festival?"
Sheng Jiayan slightly curved his lips: "Yes, continue to think, do you remember the future?"
Meng Qiqi frowned and recalled carefully. She remembered that she was setting lanterns by the river, and finally fell into the water accidentally, and was picked up by Sheng Jiayan and held in his arms. It seemed that when Sheng Jiayan was holding her, he also brought Shaking slightly with fear.
"I don't remember." It was rare that Meng Qiqi, although slightly drunk, actually lied to Sheng Jiayan subconsciously.
Sheng Jiayan didn't mind: "It's all a matter, it doesn't matter if you don't remember."
He stopped and bought a bunch of white and tender wildflowers for Meng Qiqi from the stall beside him. Meng Qiqi took it and smelled it with joy: "It smells so good! How could you think of sending me flowers?"
Sheng Jiayan took her and continued to move forward slowly: "Because someone once did this for you."
"Who? Is it someone I know?"
Sheng Jiayan was noncommittal: "Yes."
Gui Langzhong, who was far away in the underworld, sneezed. He rubbed his nose by mistake. Did he catch a cold
The Dahan Building lives up to its name and is the tallest observation building in the entire Youzhou City. There are special guards at the bottom, and the number of people who go up must be controlled within ten people. Of course, if you want to go upstairs, you have to pay. The price is different for the first to the fourth floor. Dahan Building has another nickname, called Baijin Building.
Sheng Jiayan gave so much money to the guards lightly, and Meng Qiqi stared at the golds who were far away from her with a slight pain in her flesh. The guards tied purple ribbons belonging to the fourth floor on both her and Sheng Jiayan's wrists, and the two were released upstairs.
While climbing the stairs, Meng Eqi looked at the ribbon on her wrist and sighed, "What a business-minded person must have thought of this, but the name of this observation tower is too strange. Why is it called Dahan? Woolen cloth?"
Sheng Jiayan replied in a deep voice: "Because this was built by a woman for the man she loves, the man's name is Dahan, and the woman's name is Yunni. The name of this pair of lovers comes from "Mencius: The Second King of Liang Hui", the full The sentence is 'the people look to them, just as the drought looks to the clouds'."
"Wow..." Meng Eqi sighed, "That woman must be rich."
Sheng Jiayan thought about it carefully, and then nodded noncommittally.
"So what happened to them in the end?"
"Yunni committed suicide on the Dahan Building." Sheng Jiayan said lightly.
Meng Qiqi's eyes widened: "Si... commit suicide!?"
"It is rumored that Dahan is a general. He never came back after an expedition, and there was no bones left. Yun Ni couldn't accept it and committed suicide on the Dahan Building to forever remember his lover."
Meng Qiqi shook her head sadly: "I hope they can meet in the next life, and come back to this big dry building to look at the scenery together."
"It should be impossible." Sheng Jiayan looked down at Meng Qiqi: "Those who commit suicide will suffer forever from the blood and will not be able to reincarnate. Yun Ni may never meet her general again."
"How do you know so clearly?"
Sheng Jiayan paused and retracted his gaze: "It's just hearsay."
When the two climbed to the fourth floor, they had a panoramic view of the night view of Youzhou City. Meng Eqi cheered and cheered, leaning on the railing to look at the farthest mountains in the night. Looking closer, it is a lively market, the lights are dancing with fish and dragons, and red round lanterns are hung on the cornices on the fourth floor.
Meng Eqi could see the gate of Youzhou City from her direction. She boldly guessed that maybe Yun Ni was standing here looking at the gate of the city, waiting for her silver-armored general with a red tassel to return triumphantly. Then what kind of mood should she decide to die, and have no nostalgia in this world
"Ayan, if I die, will you feel uncomfortable?"
Sheng Jiayan looked over coldly: "Are you confused?"
"You answer me. Will you be sad? I have no relatives in this world, only you and Chunfeng Dingchen. If I die, someone should be sad. Isn't that right?" Meng Eqi opened a pair of crystals. Bright eyes, looking at Sheng Jiayan.
Sheng Jiayan didn't want to pay attention to her, just turned her head away when she was talking nonsense.
Meng Eqi saw that he was ignoring her, and the night wind brought a refreshing breath to her face. Maybe it was the night that made people timid, and she suddenly had a bold idea.
She leaned forward slightly, and the whole person was about to fall from the upstairs.
Sheng Jiayan grabbed her by the shoulders, and his always calm face showed a bit of shock at this moment, and he scolded Meng Qiqi rarely: "What are you crazy!"
Meng Eqi smiled lightly: "You really are afraid of my death! You think I'm stupid and really fell, and I'm grabbing the railing with my other hand!"
Sheng Jiayan's chest heaved slightly, obviously out of breath.
Only then did Meng Eqi come back to his senses, and quickly pulled on his sleeve: "Don't be angry, it's my fault, I shouldn't tease you."
Sheng Jiayan snorted coldly: "I wanted to bring you here to relax, but you don't know what to do, that's all, go back now."
Meng Eqi hurriedly begged for mercy, but Sheng Jiayan just pretended to be deaf.
How could he not be afraid? With the character of Yue Lao, Sheng Jiayan was only afraid that Meng Qiqi would not have a smooth life. The big accidents in her life can kill her. Every time Meng Eqi fell into the water and was injured, it made him feel like a mess. He thinks that his concentration is very good, and he will become irritable and anxious in those moments when Meng Eqi is in a coma.
Because she's just a mortal now...
Sheng Jiayan doesn't like mortals at all, they are so, so fragile...
He had no idea when Meng Eqi, who was also young and fragile, would really close his eyes and leave him. And he has to endure decades of loneliness and continue to endure this dull world before returning to the underworld to be reunited with her.
Just looking forward to the evening of parting.
When Meng Eqi and the others returned to the mansion, it was late at night.
She was probably very tired, she was grabbed by Sheng Jiayan and washed her face hastily, and then she fell into the bed and fell asleep. Sheng Jiayan changed her clothes for her, covered the quilt, and sat beside her bed and read the book.
The two maids sent by Gao Xian to serve Meng Qiqi looked at each other outside the door, and both felt that the relationship between this son Sheng and Miss Meng was not easy.
…
Over there, Gao Lan was dressed in a full-fledged dress, with a delicate aqua blue skirt, two white hairpins rolled up in her hair, and two round pearls hanging from her earlobes. Against the background of the lights, the beauty becomes more and more like a warm jade and a fragrance, and the thin white neck exudes a seductive luster. A vermilion mouth is like a sweet and delicious cherry, waiting for someone to pick it.
In order to see Sheng Jiayan, Gao Lan specially bathed in incense in advance today, and deliberately did not wear obscene pants.
She was looking forward to the arrival of Zishi, and seeing that the time was coming, Gao Lan suddenly remembered something: "Master Sheng just came to Youzhou City, how could he know about Yunshen Pavilion? What's more, the surroundings of Yunshen Pavilion are deserted for a long time. The temple, ordinary people really don’t know that.”
After hearing this, Ruan was shocked, and calmly calmed Gao Lan's hair on his face: "Look at what Sister said, this is to see our future uncle. How can the young master dare to meet you in Gao's mansion? He You also need to take care of your reputation and avoid that Meng girl. Although Yunshen Pavilion has been abandoned for a long time, it is a good place to reminisce about the old times. Young Master Sheng will know it after a little inquiries? Are you?"
Gao Lan felt that Ruan was reasonable, but she didn't know why she was still a little uneasy, so she sent Liu Yin to the house where Sheng Jiayan lived to see if he was in the room.
Liu Yin quietly went to Xiyuan, avoiding the patrolling servants. From a distance, she saw the two maids serving Meng Eqi chatting at the door. She walked over slowly and coughed, "Miss Meng sleeping?"
The two maids quickly fell silent. They all knew that Liu Yin was the first-class maid next to her sister, and she was still very respectable.
"Yes, Sister Liu Yin, Miss Meng has already fallen asleep."
Liu Yin's eyes circled around Sheng Jiayan's room, and found that the room was so dark that it didn't even light up the lights.
"Is Young Master Sheng not in the house?"
The two maids looked at each other. If the eldest sister knew that they were negligent in their duties and let Young Master Sheng sleep with Miss Meng, wouldn't they suffer
So one of the maids hurriedly said, "The slaves don't know."
Liu Yin strode to the window of Sheng Jiayan's house, took a look inside, glanced around by the moonlight, and found that there was indeed no one in the room. Then he turned around and instructed the two maids, "I tell you, Young Master Sheng is one of the nobles. If anyone dares to spread the word about him not in the room, I will ask my sister to cut your tongues! Do you understand?"
The two maids nodded again and again: "Sister, don't worry."
Only then did Liu Yin leave with satisfaction, and went back to return to Gao Lan: "Sister, Young Master Sheng is really not in the room, thinking about it, he has already gone to Yunshen Pavilion."
Gao Lan hooked her lips with satisfaction: "Very good, prepare for this sister, I'm going to Yunshen Pavilion now."
Before leaving, she left Ruan in the room to watch and cover for her. Wouldn't it be shameful to be found out if she didn't return all night? Gao Lan even thought about how to provoke Sheng Jiayan's **** to her later.
Clothed in the moonlight, Gao Lan took Liu Yin and the other two maids to Gao's carriage from the back door, and swayed to the outskirts of Yunshen Pavilion.
