Geng Shu didn't know where to get another quilt. From this day on, the two brothers will no longer have to be cold. The weather is gradually warming up.
"Mother said that she will come to see us in three years." At nightfall, Jiang Heng shrank into the quilt and said to Geng Shu.
The spring mist was damp, and Geng Shu made a miscalculation. After washing, the two clothes were not dry, and they were still hanging outside. The two had to be naked and huddled under the covers.
"Well, three years." Geng Shu said, "Sleep."
Jiang Heng rested on Geng Shu's arm, he always thought he was still in Xundong, anyway, looking around the high walls, there was not much difference, just from one cricket jar to another cricket jar.
Of course, Geng Shu's arrival and company made him no longer lonely. He sincerely thanked God for letting the two brothers recognize each other. your own side.
Geng Shu put his arms around him, exerting a little force, the hot skin touched, Jiang Heng touched the jade in front of his chest again, with warm body temperature on it.
"Brother." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu was in a trance, and when he heard Jiang Heng call him, he looked down at him sadly.
Jiang Heng said, "What is your mother doing now?"
"Healing," Geng Shu whispered, "drinking medicine. Lord Gongsun is very good, and he will definitely be able to cure her."
Jiang Heng didn't speak any more, but Geng Shu suddenly let go of him and changed to lie down.
"Don't play..." Geng Shu patted his hand on his stomach and said, "Don't play with your own, why do you always like to play with sticks."
Jiang Heng laughed. He didn't understand anything, he just thought it was interesting. On weekdays, Geng Shu always liked to touch his head, put his hand in his hair and touched it, and sometimes he would hold him in his arms. Killing him until he begged for mercy, as if it were tacit entertainment for the two brothers.
His mother almost never got close to him, Jiang Heng's love for Geng Shu was very useful, and sometimes he would touch Geng Shu's back, or hold his hand, and from time to time he couldn't help but want to take revenge on him.
But Geng Shu was not at all ticklish and looked at him blankly.
But as long as Jiang Heng played with Geng Shu's for a while, Geng Shu couldn't take it anymore, so he wouldn't let him touch it. Jiang Heng would shake it at first, but once Geng Shu found out, he would not let him touch it again. If he continued to tease him, Geng Shu would become fierce and bite him until Jiang Heng ran away and Geng Shu sat down again with a flushed face.
"Sleep," Geng Shu said, "don't make trouble."
"Turn around and hug me." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu had no choice but to turn around again, breathing quickly, hugging Jiang Heng, while Jiang Heng curled up comfortably in his arms.
In spring, the peach blossoms are all in bloom. They bloom all the way from Yuedi to Xundong, and then to Luoyang. As the weather gradually warms, they will slowly open out of the Great Wall to Longcheng, Yongdu, covering the land of Shenzhou.
When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, they are the apricot blossoms.
Geng Shu knew that they needed money and couldn't always ask the emperor for it. After all, they depended on others and often looked at their faces. They had to earn money to support himself and Jiang Heng. So when he saw the carpenter who repaired the palace, he followed suit. The carpenter saw that he went up to the house and lifted the tiles like walking on the ground. After a few days, he let him do some work and paid him some wages.
Geng Shu finally had some money. After all, when they left Xundong, their home was burnt down by a fire. He used his wages to make two clothes for Jiang Heng, and was surprised to find something.
"You've grown taller!" Geng Shu said, "You've grown so tall!"
"Aren't you?" Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and asked Geng Shu to measure with a ruler, "You grow faster than me."
Geng Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The clothes he brought from Xundong last year will not be able to be worn until this summer. Naturally, Geng Shu himself grew faster, but sometimes the guards would give him old clothes, and the lining could be patched up and still able to wear.
It doesn't matter what he wears, but he can't let Jiang Heng wear old clothes. Geng Shu just didn't realize that behind his shock, Jiang Heng grew up.
He was no longer the seven-year-old child. Thinking of this, Geng Shu felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
From winter to spring, they spent their first year in Luoyang. The life was so peaceful. Geng Shu often went to work as a carpenter to subsidize himself and Jiang Heng, and occasionally bought some food from outside, but Jiang Heng was not allowed to leave the palace.
Jiang Heng read books all day long. At the end of the reading, he didn't know why he read so many books, as if reading had become a part of the longevity, a habit no different from eating and sleeping.
When Geng Shu was in the palace, they would stay together.
Once Geng Shu went out, Jiang Heng would peek at the court from time to time. Every day, the Son of Heaven would come to court before noon, saying that it was to convene civil and military officials, but there were very few people.
However, the previous court was still very solemn and solemn. Zhao Jie took the lead, and the rest were old men of old age such as Taichang and Taipu. They sat tremblingly in the court, holding a jade board, and slowly sent messengers from all over the world. The affairs of the world brought by him are repaid to the titular master of Shenzhou, the emperor of Jin.
Sometimes while talking, the old men fell asleep even halfway up, and Ji Xun, who was sitting on the throne, was not in a hurry, yawned, and waited for him slowly. Zhao Jie would occasionally go forward and shake people to wake them up.
Jiang Heng only found it interesting at first, but the more he read history, the more he understood the current situation in Luoyang.
Since a hundred years ago, Jinzhong's general Jui Ying led the army. After he left and never returned, the world fell apart, and the princes embraced their troops and respected themselves. Dynasty is like a dying old man, waiting for its inevitable death.
Thinking of the current situation, Jiang Heng felt very sad again.
Another summer, this is the second year that Jiang Zhao has left.
Everything seemed to have never happened. The moon was full and the moon was missing. Jiang Heng counted the days with his fingers. In seventeen months, he would be able to see his mother.
Jiang Heng wiped his sweat and said, "It wasn't so hot last year."
"Drink some sour plum soup." Geng Shu was also dying of heat. You Qi had just returned from work, and he was shirtless and wearing only a pair of underpants, and rinsed with well water.
He is already thirteen years old, the boy's stature is almost as tall as the palace guards, the hairy beard grows on his lips, and his voice has changed a lot.
"You drink," Jiang Heng said, wearing a single shirt, "don't get hot after sweating a lot."
Geng Shu bought a large piece of ice from the city and came back, and wanted to make iced sour plum soup for Jiang Heng, but it was too hot, and when he returned to the palace, there was only a little bit left, and it was almost finished, and he was sweating. He put one hand on Jiang Heng's shoulder and realized that it was too hot to hug him, so he put his hand down subconsciously and landed on his waist.
Then, he slipped his hand into his thin coat again, and touched the scald on his waist, as if it had become his habit.

"A penny." Geng Shu felt a little regretful, and knew that he would not buy this ice.
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Is ice still sold in Luoyang City?"
"It was stolen from the palace and sold." Geng Shu had already recognized all the servants, guards and maids in the palace, but he didn't want to expose it in person, so that person naturally recognized Geng Shu. Eating less and less day by day.
Geng Shu finished drinking the sour plum soup, calmed down, and said, "I'll go get some more."
Jiang Heng said, "Don't steal anything."
Geng Shu said: "If they don't steal, they will steal."
Jiang Heng: "They steal and let them steal, we can't steal."
Geng Shu couldn't help Jiang Heng every day, so he had to say, "Then I'll go take a look, it's alright."
Jiang Heng thought for a while and said, "I know where the ice cellar is. It's cool there. It's always alright to sit there. Bring your clothes, so you don't catch a cold."
Geng Shu then took the single shirt in his hand, still shirtless, and followed Jiang Heng across the corridor.
"Don't go there tomorrow," Jiang Heng said. "The emperor hasn't gone to court for a few days. It's too hot."
"Well," Geng Shu listened to Jiang Heng's words very much in this kind of matter. "It's all old men. It's not for fun if you get dizzy."
Jiang Heng didn't expect that the summer in Luoyang would be so difficult, but they are all young people. It would be good to dig more well water to take a bath. When the night comes, it will always be cooler. I just don't know God...
When passing Hyogo, Jiang Heng suddenly heard a strange sound.
Jiang Heng: "?"
Geng Shu stopped, and the two looked suspiciously into the hall.
It was Ji Xun, and Ji Xun seemed to be crying and pleading.
"It's the king!" Jiang Heng whispered, "What is he doing here?"
The Hyogo is a little cooler than the main hall, but it is a place for storing weapons, which is cool and ventilated. The two immediately quickened their pace and went to the door to take a look.
Jiang Hengsheng was afraid that Ji Xun was in danger, so he was about to enter, but was pulled by Geng Shu.
Geng Shu: "?"
Jiang Heng: "???"
Geng Shu: ""
Jiang Heng saw a scene that was extremely difficult to explain, but the scene was so shocking that he was instantly dumbfounded.
The door was ajar, and inside was Ji Xun, who was disheveled. Ji Xun's skin was snow-white, kneeling on the ground, while Zhao Jie's hair was loose, and he was half leaning on the couch.
Jiang Heng: "!!!"
Geng Shu: "..."
Then, Zhao Jie grabbed Ji Xun's hair and asked him to stand up. Standing in front, Ji Xun was trembling, and behind him was Zhao Jie, who was thin but muscular and showed strong lines.
Zhao Ji turned his back to the two outside the Hyogo, put one arm around Ji Xun's waist, pulled him towards him, and savagely sucked his lips.
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jiang Heng and Geng Shu were still holding hands. The two were a little puzzled at first. Hearing the voice from the Hyogo, Ji Xun seemed to be in extreme pain and kept begging for mercy.
"Take it easy..." Ji Xun was about to cry, "It hurts! Take it easy!"
Zhao Jie ignored it, forcibly turned Ji Xun's head, made him turn to him, sealed his lips, and with a little force, Ji Xun made a pleading sound.
Geng Shu and Jiang Heng opened their mouths slightly, Geng Shu was the first to come back to his senses, and pulled Jiang Heng to let him go.
"What are they doing?" Jiang Heng made a mouth shape.
Geng Shu didn't explain, there was a dazed and complicated expression on his face, as if vaguely aware of something, he pulled Jiang Heng across the flowers and made a little noise.
Zhao Jie stopped, glanced back, pushed Ji Xun away, pushed him onto the couch, turned around again, and walked out of the Hyogo.
Empty.
Zhao Jie looked around, went in again, closed the door of the library, locked it, and there was a clicking sound.
Jiang Heng was stunned and looked at Geng Shu. After the two of them hid in the flowers, Geng Shu glanced at Jiang Heng and immediately turned his eyes away.
"He took that stick..." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu: "Well... they... they... "
Jiang Heng said, "What are they doing? General Zhao's... stick is so scary!"
Ji Xun's plea seemed to carry a little pain and struggle, and Jiang Heng immediately asked, "Why did he do this to the king?!"
Geng Shu said, "I don't know, don't ask me."
The two looked at each other, and Geng Shu suddenly asked again, "Did he see us? Probably not."
Jiang Heng's first thought was: What kind of punishment is Zhao Jie using for the emperor, but what kind of punishment is this? How could he do such a thing? !
"Don't ask," Geng Shu said, "don't mention anything, just pretend you haven't seen anything, don't mention it."
Jiang Heng said: "Wang He... must be very sad..."
"Don't mention it!" Geng Shu reiterated, "Do you understand? Don't say anything!"
Jiang Heng had no choice but to nod, the two of them lightly walked into the ice cellar, and immediately cooled down a lot.
Geng Shu put on a single shirt, let out a sigh of relief, put his arms on his back, and lay down in the ice cave. Jiang Heng was still full of that scene, looking at Geng Shu strangely.
Geng Shu said, "I'm going to sleep for a while, I'm sleepy."
Jiang Heng also lay down beside him and yawned. In this weather, taking a nap in the cool ice cellar is the most comfortable.
But soon, the guards found them both.
