Qiao Tianya sank back into the rattan chair, biting a red thread between his lips and twirling his fingers dexterously. The moonlight was very thin when he was ugly, and it slipped past the bridge of his nose, making his drooping eyes look very lonely.
The violin was placed on the table, covered with silk, which had not been touched for several days.
Yao Wenyu didn't make a sound when he woke up, he looked sideways at Qiao Tianya.
Qiao Tianya is like a lonely moon stagnating in an empty valley after a shower, clear and distant. That wanton wind became an old dream from last night, leaving an afterimage on him. Yao Wenyu still retains the splendor of that day, but she has long understood that she will not be able to walk by his side.
This is the spring of March without a problem.
Qiao Tianya took off the red thread and closed the tail beautifully. He reached over and touched Yao Wenyu's hand, and put the braided red thread on Yao Wenyu's wrist.
Yuan Zhuo was hidden in the hanging curtain, peeping at the person who was close at hand through the gap. He laughed silently, but in a daze, the pillow was wet.
Qiao Tianya didn't lift the curtain, and they only used their fingers to transmit the temperature, as if this was the most intimate intimacy, and it would disappear if they got closer.
Yao Wenyu never spoke, as if she had never woken up.

When Shen Zechuan came the next day, Yao Wenyu had already stood up, and he leaned slightly towards Shen Zechuan as a salute.
"Yesterday I fell ill suddenly, and I delayed my official business," Yao Wenyu pointed, picking up the disorganized chess pieces. "Today, while you are still in good spirits, it is time to finish talking to the mansion."
Shen Zechuan took his seat and said, "Your illness has only improved, so it doesn't matter if you rest for half a month and then talk again."
"Idle while sick is idle." Yao Wenyu pondered for a while, and said, "Liuzhou port is really an important task. With the ruler here, it's like having a place to talk in Juexi."
Yao Wenyu thinks differently from Kong Ling and others. He sees farther. In the current situation of incompatibility, he is more willing to accept the talents for Shen Zechuan than to kill all the courtiers of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Fu-kun thought he was lacking generals, but in my opinion it's the exact opposite," Yao Wenyu put away the chess pieces, "In the future, the most important thing in the three eastern borders is the generals, whether it's Wu Ziyu or Tantaihu, they can all be on their own. Generals, until the war subsides, they will be stationed on the border, and the lord of the house will have no worries. In the future, the lord will be short of capable ministers and generals. Although Chengfeng is good, he will not leave Zhongbo; Zhou Gui is loyal, but he can't take on the big responsibility. After several years, the thirteen cities of Juexi have not fallen into the hands of the noble family, precisely because there is a capable minister Jiang Qingshan here."
"Xue Yanqing can make waves in the court, and the prince is just an opportunity. The real reason is to support his practical faction. These people are not high-ranking, but they are the key to determining whether the reform can be implemented. They are in Juexi to benefit the people and want to It is necessary to cheer up the Li family's country and restore Yongyi Zhongxing. They are scholars who are far more ambitious than the capital officials, and they are also the last good ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "
Jiuzhongtian is not easy to go up, and changing the dynasty means that countless scholars have to dream of breaking the past. The court situation was so bad that neither Hai Liangyi nor Xue Xiuzhuo had any idea of replacing the Li family, because it was a crime comparable to the murder of a father. The ruler, the minister, the father and the son constitute the ethical guideline. For hundreds of years, the Li family has been the emperor. This not only means that long live the emperor should be shouted in the mouth, but also means that generations of people are following an orthodoxy.
If Shen Zechuan stepped into the capital again, the "Fu Jun" would defeat the orthodox emperor standing tall. He had to get the right to kill the monarch given by God to take off the hat of "chaotic minister and thief", but this was not enough, he had to use The suitable way is to let Li's surviving officials willingly allow him to drive, otherwise, even if he conquers thousands of miles, he will not be able to achieve the prosperity of the world that Qi Huilian once said.
"Xue Yanqing eliminated the field tax in Bacheng, which was a good thing, but he did it too hastily. The most important tax in Xuedu now lies in the field tax in Bacheng. He resolutely removed the Pan family in Dancheng, and now there are only two ways. You can go, one is to continue to press the remaining seven cities to reclaim the land at the fastest speed; the other is to slow down the speed and give the remaining seven cities a chance to pay the land tax. The former has to return the fields to the people, but the people of the eight cities have long since left their homes. Going to Zhongbo, if he re-records his household registration, he will delay his work this year, so that the problem of eating on Wednesday after the autumn will be solved by Juexi and Hezhou. Naturally, it will continue to spread to the people, and the tyranny is as fierce as a tiger, so it is no different from before."
"When Juexi is exhausted by the expedition, the people of the Thirteen Cities will not have enough to eat. If Fujun takes the opportunity of Liuzhou port to build an east-west waterway to connect the north-south horse road, Hezhou and Zhongbo can relieve the burden of Juexi."
Yao Wenyu said here, the sun has already reached the eaves. He held the chess piece slowly, and said, "Fu Jun must have planned to kill Yan Heru."
"Hezhou is next to Qidong," Shen Zechuan followed Yao Wenyu to play chess pieces, "If this place is not included in the bag, I can't sleep at night."
Yan Heru thought about business, but Shen Zechuan thought about more than business. Qi Zhuyin joined forces with Xue Xiuzhuo in the Dancheng case. The prince wanted to give her a title, so she would be the marquis of Da Zhou in the future. The garrison of the five counties in Qidong was in the south of Zhongbo, and Shen Zechuan had to seize the important line of transportation from Qidong to the west, and Hezhou was the only way to go.
Shen Zechuan said bluntly, if Qi Zhuyin tried to protect the Li family, then Zhongbo Dengzhou would be the key to Shen Zechuan. He had to hold on to Hezhou, which was more important to Qidong, so that he could sit at the same table with Qi Zhuyin all the time.
"Qi Shiyu is very old, and Qi Zhuyin is far more suitable to be a commander than others." Shen Zechuan continued, "Lu Guangbai stayed in Libei, just because he didn't want to be a general of Zhou again. Qidong left the gap in Bianjun, and Qi Zhuyin had to make up for it himself. I want her to be the escort soldier, but she has to run past."
Qi Zhuyin might really be able to run past, so Shen Zechuan blocked the road.
"The commander has been troubled by money in recent years, and this time he is willing to send troops to the Rat Division to examine the situation." Yao Wenyu coughed softly.
Shen Zechuan no longer mentioned official duties, but said: "Qiao Tianya is now in charge of Jinyiqi and stays on the school grounds during the day. It is inevitable that he will be negligent. I wrote a letter to Master, asking him to come to Duanzhou to take care of you."
Yao Wenyu didn't refuse, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "It's so far away, the hard-working master makes a special trip."
Shen Zechuan saw a red rope hanging from Yuan Zhuo's wrist, and it was hidden into his sleeve with the movement of raising his hand. He didn't ask, and saw Hu Nu woke up and was walking towards the door.
"Qie is the old place," Shen Zechuan said, "I heard Xi Hongxuan say that you will return to the capital every spring and March, next year... or a few years later, you can take a good look at the spring scene."
Yao Wenyu knew that Shen Zechuan was comforting herself, she smiled slightly, and did not answer this sentence, but said, "Since the Dancheng case is about to be closed, where is Pan Lin exiled?"
Shen Zechuan hung a folding fan to block Hu Nu, and said, "Kong Qiu wanted to exile him to Huaizhou, but he committed suicide by hunger strike at the Qedu Station."
Yao Wenyu sat quietly for a while.
Pan Lin was proud of his youth and had a smooth career. What he said to Xue Xiuyi at the Fenghou Banquet was a prophecy, but he ended up starving to death. He was tired of his family, and now he is finally free.
All are hometowns.
Yao Wenyu turned to look at the courtyard.
But there was nothing worth going back to see.
