Chapter 123: storytelling

Gannhe looked at him speechlessly, and was about to put him down when a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

Sui Yan squatted beside Jiang Enhe, lifted the veil to the upper half of the hat, looked at the young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and said, "I like listening to it very much. Say it again."

The boy: "..."

Gannhe: "… "

Gannhe cried out with an almost "Ow" voice and stared at the elusive Sui Yan: "You... When did you come?"

Sui Yan stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Enhe's head, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Mr. Jiang is really majestic, it's an eye-opener for me."

Gan Enhe murmured: "Who told him to be rude, he really dared to speak at the feet of the emperor - what are you looking at, hurry up, do you still want to be beaten?"

Gann and Chaofei, those noble young men who were beaten with bruises and bruises got up in a hurry and ran away.

Before leaving, probably feeling embarrassed, he ran and said harshly backwards: "You, you, wait for me!"

Gan Enhe: "Bah! Grandpa is waiting here!"

With a few words of effort, he raised himself to a senior level.

Sui Yan was quite regretful: "Although that person is quite rude, but what he said just now is very insightful, and I want to hear it again."

Gan Enhe didn't listen to his nonsense, he pulled Sui Yan's hand and ran out: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

Sui Yan stopped him: "Wait a while."

He turned his head and gave Wu Wu a wink, Wu Wu looked at Wu Mo, who was squatting aside, nibbling on melon seeds, and nodded without words.

Gannhe pulled him: "Come on."

A few people came out of the Banhua Building and walked to a side street, before Sui Yan and Geng Xue took down the hat.

Gan Enhe was about to talk to Sui Yan, but when he saw Geng Xue, his eyes almost went out of his sockets.

"Great Master?!"

Geng Xue saluted with a smile: "Young Master Jiang."

Gan Enhe hurriedly returned the salute, and with hindsight, it seemed that Geng Xue and Sui Yan came out of Wanhua Building together.

Gannhe: "… "

Thunderbolt, but that's it.

It was probably Jiang Enhe's terrified expression, "Buddha sent a thunderbolt to kill me, the monk went to Hualou."

He turned the Buddha beads on his wrist, and tried his best to remain calm, and said, "The poor monk happened to meet Lord Hou on the street today, so he casually looked for a nearby restaurant to catch up."

Gannhe didn't know whether to believe it or not, and his face was full of horror - Xu was afraid of being silenced by the Buddha, and he nodded desperately in horror, indicating that he believed it.

Sui Yan did not explain wickedly on the side, and he couldn't bear to laugh until his face was a little sour.

Geng Xue: "… "

Geng Xue folded her hands together and recited the name of the Dharma a few times with difficulty before she said to Sui Yan, "Master Hou, this is what the poor monk said, and I hope you make a decision sooner."

Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you Master for this trip."

Geng Xue finished speaking, lest Gann and Zai misunderstand too much, and hurried away.

As soon as Geng Xue left, Gan Enhe immediately "tsk tsk tsk", almost licking his tongue out without finding a suitable word to express the shock in his heart at this time.

Sui Yan was afraid that he would dehydrate himself, and said, "What did you just say?"

Only at this moment did Gan Enhe remember the business, and he hurriedly walked away with his arms around Sui Yan's shoulders where there were few people: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Sui Yan said: "Don't talk nonsense, just say it."

Gan Enhe looked left and right, and then whispered, "When you go back, don't tell my second sister about my fight with someone else today, or she will definitely go back to the house and beat me."

Sui Yan looked at him speechlessly: "I see that the second sister has a good temperament, and she has already married into our family. How can you care about the life and death of your money-losing brother, don't worry."

Gannhe: "… "

Gan Enhe threw his hands away angrily, and said, "I'll go back to the same-year-old general later and tell me about your visit to Hualou today!"

He thought about it for a while, and then added: "I haven't bought the steamed buns yet!"

Sui Yan came to Hualou to buy steamed buns. Sui Xun knew that he knew, but every time he beat him up to the point of screaming. He's gone, and it doesn't matter if the prince comes.

Sui Yan immediately stood on tiptoe and walked to Gan Enhe and embraced his shoulders: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The two cowards with extremely guilty conscience stayed outside for a long time, and agreed not to tell Suixun and Jiang Ning what happened today, so they separated.

Sui Yan returned to Hou's mansion in a carriage, and Haitang greeted him as soon as he entered the door.

"Master."

Sui Yan said: "Huh? What's wrong? What about the second brother and the others?"

Haitang said: "Uncle Zhao suddenly disappeared this morning for some unknown reason. He only left a letter saying that he was returning home. The second young master has already sent someone to look for him, and he has not returned yet."

Suiyan paused for a while before saying, "Okay, I see."

Haitang's eyes were slightly red: "Master, will Uncle Zhao not come back, or say something? Otherwise, how could he just leave without saying a word?"

Sui Yan pursed her pale lips, forced a smile, and said, "Don't worry."

Haitang's eyes turned even redder.

Sui Yan touched his head and said softly, "It's okay."

Haitang nodded.

When Suiyan returned to the side courtyard, Wumo had been caught and trained by Wuxian for a long time.

Although Wu Mo looked rebellious and didn't even pay attention to the little master, he was very listening to Wu Shi's words. He sat on the small stool and was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to get angry and listen to Wu Shi. He bang bang bang.

Wu Shi was saying, "The little master is the flesh and blood of the old marquis, have you forgotten what he entrusted to you before his death?" Sui Yan pushed open the door and entered.

Wu Xian suddenly fell silent, and forcibly pulled Wu Mo, who was sitting upright, from the stool, and saluted Sui Yan, "Young master."

Sui Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite."

Wu Mo's forehead was red and swollen, and he even smeared some medicinal powder on it, which looked very funny. He glanced at Sui Yan reluctantly and said, "Little young master, my household registration document, His Royal Highness Prince Prince, has been given to me. I'm not used to eating this kind of food, so can't you let me live?"

Wuxiao looked at him anxiously and whispered, "Shut up!"

Sui Yan sat on the soft couch beside him and looked at him lazily with his chin on his back: "Everyone has their own ambitions? This is a good sentence. Then I ask you, is your ambition to make steamed buns and tell stories?"

Momoji rubbed his neck and said, "That's right! I love these two!"

He was so anxious that he almost went up to cover his mouth.

Wu Mo originally thought that Sui Yan would retreat in spite of the difficulties and fulfill his dream of eating and waiting for death, but Sui Yan heard it and smiled lightly, admiring: "Okay!"

Wumo wondered if this Marquis was stupid.

Suiyan said: "My Houfu is lacking someone who can make steamed buns and tell stories. Look, both of them are in line with your ideals, and they are not tired, and their wages will never treat you badly, how about that?"

No ink: "… "

Sui Yan blinked at him.

Wu Mo couldn't find a reason to refute, and it took a long time to say with difficulty: "But I'm used to freedom, I'm afraid I can't stay in the same place for too long."

Sui Yan said: "Nonsense, you have been staying in Banhualou for so many years!"

No ink: "… "

Wu Mo was about to be persuaded, and looked at nothing with some pleading.

Wuwu is also very clear about Wumo's nature, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Master, his nature is unrestrained, and his mouth is poisonous and bad. If you want him to stay in the Hou residence, it is better to block yourself."

Sui Yan frowned, and Wu Shi immediately added: "If you want to eat steamed buns, Wu Mo will naturally be there on call, and there is no need for wages. This is good for both parties."

Sui Yan looked at Wu Mo.

Wu Mo retorted: "I still want the wages... uh!"

Unable to bear, he covered his mouth.

Seeing that he had made up his mind to leave, Sui Yan did not force him to stay, so he let him go.

Wumo looked overjoyed, and was about to speak when he heard Sui Yan say, "Tell me first, how did the prince know that you are mine?"

Wumo said sincerely: "Young master, when you encounter a problem in the East Palace, you only ask the cook and don't use the strange behavior of the palace servants. If His Royal Highness is not blind, he will find out sooner or later."

Sui Yan: "…"

Sui Yan didn't want to hide from Duan Mingchong, but when Wumo came out so little, he suddenly became angry and said, "Get out!"

Wu Mo Le Dian Dian was about to leave, but Sui Yan regretted it again.

"and many more."

Wu Mo froze all over, fearing that Sui Yan would go back on his promises, and looked at him with fear.

Sui Yan leaned back, leaned on the soft chair, and looked at him with his legs crossed with a half-smile: "Today I just want to hear that Shu eats steamed buns, you've come here, and you can leave after you're done."

No ink: "… "

Sui Yan added: "No wages."

Wumo glared at Wuxiao angrily, if it wasn't for Wuxiao who couldn't beat him, he would definitely beat him up and say it again.

But there was nothing he could do if his skills were inferior to others, so Wu Mo had to endure the humiliation and asked, "Then what paragraph do you want to hear?"

Sui Yan was very excited: "Just the part you talked about in Banhualou today!"

No ink: "… "

Wu Mo's face was expressionless: "The protagonist of the play is yourself, can you listen to it?"

If other people heard the storybook written by him as the protagonist, they would have blushed with shame and anger, why is this person different from ordinary people

Sui Yan said calmly: "Yes, of course, you can talk about it, and I can give you a reward after talking about it!"

Wu Mo, the iron rooster who fell into Qian's eyes, immediately cast aside his many worries, touched his fan in a dignified manner, and started talking.

He spit all over until it was dark, and finally finished the story of "The Crown Prince Falls in Love with Lord Qiaohou", which he had even heard and made up.

Sui Yan was satisfied after listening to the book, but he did what he said, and rewarded him with the two begonia flowers he pinched on the street this morning.

No ink: "… "

Wumo walked out of the room with a blank face, stood under the night sky, silent for a long time, and was about to smash the two flowers on the ground with a roar, but was stopped by nothing.

Wu Mo held his breath and said angrily: "What's wrong with me smashing a flower?! This is what I deserve, I can deal with it how I want! What kind of ecstasy soup have you been poured into by him, even this should be protected? With him?!"

Wu Xia said with a good temper: "I just remind you to keep this flower well. The next time you meet His Royal Highness, he said that this flower was given by the Hou Ye as a reward, and it will definitely be exchanged for a large amount of money."

No ink: "… "

Wu Mo was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously, "Are you making fun of me?"

Wu Shi said: "I have said all this, whether I listen to you or not."

Ever since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that folding flowers and sending you to the monarch represented a heartfelt heart, he would not let Sui Yan give flowers to others casually, even if it was a reward.

No ink: "… "

Wu Mo pondered for a moment, then said sincerely: "These two really know how to play, let's not talk about it, I suddenly have inspiration again, I have to go back and write quickly, and I must tell a new and interesting book."

nothing:"… "

roll!

·

Suiyan was elated when he heard Wumo's nonsense, and even Junjing acted indirect revenge and was unwilling to add several bitter medicines to his bowl, but he didn't drink it.

Before going to bed, Jun Jingxing felt a little worried about his pulse, but he didn't find any reason for it after a long time.

Sui Yan casually fiddled with the beads in his hands, one bumped into the other, making a slight sound in the silence.

Jun Jingxing retracted his hand and frowned, "What's wrong with you today? Are you uncomfortable?"

Sui Yan regained his senses and shook his head: "No, go back to sleep."

Sui Yan's sleep became more and more restless, and he was so fainted yesterday that he was still awakened by a nightmare, how dare Jun Jingxing let him fall asleep, he would stay and watch him at all times.

Sui Yan looked at him faintly: "The prince will come over when the son is over, are you going to listen to the good news between us?"

Jun Jingxing: "… "

Jun Jingxing didn't say a word, his face was ashen, and he walked away.

Sui Yan guessed right.

He slept groggy in the middle of the night, and after being woken up by a nightmare, he felt that he was leaning against someone's arms, the warm breath wrapped around him, and his nose was covered with the cold fragrance of green wood like frost.

Sui Yan raised his head slightly, and saw Duan Mingchong, who was sleeping soundly.

Sui Yan: "…"

It was said that Zi Shi was not allowed to come, and that he would come again after Zi Shi was really something Duan Mingchong could do.

Sui Yan sighed softly, leaned back against Duan Ming Chong's arms, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

I don't know if Duan Mingchong was by his side, but Sui Yan didn't have any more nightmares—perhaps he did and then forgot. Anyway, when he woke up, he was no longer tired from the previous days.

When he first woke up, he was a little stunned, and he took care of getting up and dressing himself, until he washed his face with clean water and realized something later.

Um? What about Duan Mingchong

Sui Yan wiped his face with a dry towel and said loudly, "Haitang? Haitang!"

Soon, the door was pushed open, and Duan Mingchong walked in slowly, holding a string of sugar skewers.

Sui Yan: "Your Highness?"

Duan Mingchong said lightly: "I just came out of the palace, and I immediately bought candied fruit to see you. Look, it didn't melt."

Sui Yan: "…"

So what I saw last night was a ghost

Sui Yan looked at him speechlessly.

Duan Mingchong said hurriedly: "You said that tomorrow is tomorrow, I really have to wait for the dawn to come back."

Sui Yan didn't believe it, but he was too lazy to pierce him, so he reached out to him and said, "Give it to me, don't change it."

Then Duan Mingchong walked in with a smile and handed him the candy string.

Although Sui Yan was eating candy skewers, his eyes were a little absent-mindedly looking at the void, and he didn't know what to think.

Duan Mingchong stared at Sui Yan, drooping his eyes and biting the hawthorn fruit slowly, and said cautiously, "Is this a punishment?"

Suiyan spit out the seeds and said vaguely, "Forget it, if you hang me for so long next time, then you will be punished by waiting for as long as I hang and we won't meet for as long as possible."

Duan Mingchong breathed a sigh of relief and assured: "There will definitely be no next time."

Sui Yan was holding the hawthorn and tilted his head to look at Duan Mingchong's serious expression.

Duan Mingchong saw that Sui Yan had been staring at him, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Sui Yan put the wooden sign aside, and after thinking about it, he gently leaned against Duan Mingchong's chest.

Duan Mingchong originally thought that he would be left out for another while, but when Sui Yan was so close to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was flattered and hugged him back.

Sui Yan listened to Duan Mingchong's slow heartbeat and thought, "Wait a minute, wait a minute and talk about it."

Duan Mingchong stayed with him for half a day in the Hou Mansion before being called away by the people in the palace.

Knowing that there are still two princes' fiefdoms in the palace to be decided, Sui Yan did not let him be tempered, so he obediently drank the medicine and went to bed at night.

Yesterday, Jun Jingxing was angry and didn't come to look for him all day, but even though he was angry, Jun Jingxing could still sense that something was wrong with Sui Yan.

He tossed and turned in the guest room of the side courtyard in the middle of the night, and then reluctantly got up and put on his clothes, intending to visit the uneasy little ancestor.

Jun Jingxing carried the candlestick to the side courtyard, the lights in Sui Yan's room were on as always, and under the blanket of the bed, only a shadowy human figure could be seen inside, which seemed to be sitting with his head down.

Jun Jingxing frowned and whispered, "Master Hou, haven't you slept yet?"

The person inside moved slightly before reaching out a pale hand to lift the bed curtain.

Sui Yan's long hair was loose, and he sat with one hand on his knees, his face was almost terrifyingly pale, like a ghost returning to the world in the dead of night.

He looked at Jun Jingxing blankly, his eyes were full of nothingness, and he seemed to be unrecognizable.

Jun Jingxing was staring at him like this, he shuddered unconsciously, walked over with the lamp in hand, and whispered, "Have you had a nightmare?"

Sui Yan retracted his hands, hugged his calf with both hands, put his chin on his knee, tilted his head and looked at him blankly, "See you in the moon?"

Jun Jingxing sat down, looked at Sui Yan's somewhat scattered eyes, and said softly, "It's me."

Sui Yan's voice was soft and soft: "I just went to look for you, why are you not here?"
