Stigma (Yi Cong Yin)

Chapter 130: National mourning

Views:

Jiangnan is indeed a good place to go.

When they left the capital, they did not hurry on their way. They were just catching up with the March sky when the grass grows and Yingfei flew all the way to Lin'an.

Suixun had already found a place to live in Lin'an City, and with the servants who followed, he unloaded the things on the carriage one by one and moved them to the newly renovated mansion.

Sui Yan slept for three hours last night, and it took half an hour to finally recognize someone.

He yawned and jumped out of the carriage, looked at the mansion in front of him, and said with a "tsk", "It's really a good place."

Suixun said, "Go ahead and rest."

Sui Yan was already frail. A few years ago, Sui Xun dared to whip him with a whip, but now he doesn't dare. He doesn't even allow him to do any heavy work.

Sui Yan was at ease, and walked around the Xinfu with Le An, feeling very good.

There are pleasant landscapes in the south of the Yangtze River, pavilions and bridges, gurgling water, and a peach orchard was planted in the backyard.

Sui Yan and Le An walked around the huge mansion together, tsk tsk non-stop. As soon as he returned to the front yard, he saw Sui Xun holding a white letter paper wrapped in red thread in his hand, brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sui Yan stepped forward: "Brother?"

When Suixun saw him coming, he handed him the letterhead in his hand and said, "From the capital, the queen mother passed away."

Sui Yan shook his hands.

Suixun handed him another letter and said, "After we left the capital, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to restrain the crown prince, so he directly ordered the marriage, and must not disobey."

Sui Yan looked up at him blankly.

Suixun said: "And that night, the queen mother died."

When the queen mother passed away, Duan Ming Chong had to observe filial piety for three years, and the marriage date could be postponed accordingly.

Sui Yan was silent for a long time before he said, "I see."

He recalled the time he had hurriedly met with the Queen Mother before, and Duan Mingchong's seemingly false admiration when facing the kind and amiable old man, and suddenly felt a tingling in his heart.

The current Duan Mingchong…

His Royal Highness, how sad should he be

And he was so far away, thousands of miles apart, that he couldn't even give a word of comfort.

In a trance, Sui Yan suddenly understood why Duan Mingchong sent him away.

Because this feeling of being powerless is so painful.

Sui Yan held the bead on his wrist, closed his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Suifu soon settled in Lin'an City.

When Jun Jingxing first came to An'an, the first thing he did was to look for Lao Qian's medical hall, and he also caught Sui Yan in by the way.

When Sui Yan first started to go, he struggled all the way: "I'm not going! I'm not going! I went to see it yesterday, and the doctor took that big needle and wanted to stab me!"

Jun Jingxing's face was grim, and he forcibly dragged Suiyan, a weak chicken, to the hospital, where he began his cruel and inhumane medical career.

Jun Jingxing was young and fun, he always liked to study all kinds of poisons, and he had a lot of crooked ways, but the famous doctor who was taught by Qian Lao was a well-behaved medical doctor since elementary school, and naturally it was different from his treatment method.

Those doctors were all Jun Jingxing's seniors according to their seniority, and Jun Jingxing kept arguing with his seniors every day about Suiyan's treatment.

In the end, Lao Qian's direct disciple opened his mouth. The acupuncture and moxibustion medicated bath was the main thing, supplemented by a warm and nourishing medicated meal. First, Sui Yan's body was taken care of, and then he talked about the complete detoxification.

Suiyan also had a restless temperament in Lin'an City. When he first arrived, he was dragged by Jun Jingxing to Qian Laoyitang for acupuncture treatment every day.

Later, his health got better, and he no longer had the situation of waking up and not recognizing people, so he dragged Jun Jingxing out to play all day, and would never come back until sunset.

For no other reason, Sui Yan fell in love with the sweets of Jiangnan Water Village.

He went out early every day and returned late, but when he came back, he only came back with a bunch of snacks and candied fruit. Sui Xun originally let him play, but then he became more and more anxious. When Sui Yan was about to go out again, he directly stopped him.

"Forgetting to return, you've been running out all these days..." Suixun seemed a little hard to tell, and it took a long time to say with difficulty, "Could it be... that you didn't meet any fate?"

There are many beauties in Lin'an City, and he didn't believe that his young and vigorous younger brother would really not be fooled by beauty.

Sui Yan blinked and suddenly seemed to remember, clenched his fist with one hand and tapped the palm: "Oh!"

Sui Xun's eyes showed anticipation.

Suiyan said: "I found a stall with sweet-scented osmanthus cake when I was wandering around yesterday. It was very delicious. The boss saw that I was cute and cute, and gave me a box for nothing. Is this a fate?"

Suixun: "..."

Sui Yan turned around and said, "Brother, do you think I've gotten a little fatter?"

He put his hand on the top of his head again for comparison, and said, "Is it a little taller?"

Suixun didn't want to see him pretending to be stupid, so he weakly pressed his forehead.

"Go play."

Seeing that the trick had passed, Sui Yan immediately got the order and ran away.

Suiyan likes to be lively, and gathers wherever there are many people. In addition to his outstanding appearance, he can speak well, but for half a year, the entire Lin'an city has known that there is a surprisingly good-looking young man in the Sui family, and even Suiyan is walking on the road. Every time someone picks flowers and throws them into his arms.

This was the first time Sui Yan encountered such a situation, he thought that someone was going to assassinate him, so he turned around quickly and dodged the peony flower that was only rushing towards the door.

The woman throwing flowers: "… "

Sui Yan: "…"

The two stared at each other on the street, and in the end, the woman who threw the flowers burst into tears, and the pear flowers covered her face with the rain and ran away.

Sui Yan: "…"

Sui Yan didn't know what happened yet, but Jun Jingxing laughed so much that his stomach hurt.

Since then, Sui Yan has never been ostentatious anymore, recuperating peacefully and eating, drinking, and having fun.

Three years passed quickly like a horse crossing a window.

The river in the south of the Yangtze River does not freeze, the curved water flows over the stone bridge, and the sparkling waves reflect the candlelight.

The wooden boat docked on the shore swayed slightly, and several men in black clothes stepped on the edge of the boat and entered the boat.

The boatman wore a bamboo hat, propped up the long pole, shouted, and pushed aside the water waves and slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

The few guests on the boat seemed to be not good at words. The boatman received too many guests in the bustling Lin'an, so he didn't feel embarrassed. He said with a local accent: "A few young masters are from other places, right?"

The man sitting in the center of the cabin with his black hair tied in a crown, his gestures and gestures are full of extravagance, he tilted his head and looked at the scenery outside the window, and said softly: "Exactly, it is not easy to come to Jiangnan, and I almost missed it. It's a great view."

When the boatman heard someone talking, he was even more interested, and while paddling, he said with a smile: "The Lantern Festival was really lively a few days ago, and the shore was full of people, so many people, the whole lake was also full of boats. Coming and going, I also saw people bumping into each other hahaha."

The boatman laughed when he said that.

The handsome man smiled and said, "There are few people now, but it is clean."

"Yeah." The boatman said, "Unfortunately, just a few days after the Lantern Festival, there was news of the emperor's death in the capital, and the whole process had to serve Sugu, prohibiting alcohol and music, where would anyone dare to blatantly sway what."

The matter of the court is only the conversation of the common people after a meal, and the words are all casual.

The people on the boat did not speak.

The boat swayed and traveled for a while, and before it reached the middle of the lake, it encountered a painting boat, drifting faintly.

The painting boat is brightly lit, with two lanterns hanging from the bow, and when the breeze blows, you can faintly see the word "year-old".

The boatman was taken aback and said, "This... bah bah bah, this year old baby is so daring, they say it's forbidden to seek pleasure, yet dare to sit on such a painting boat so arrogantly..."

He was muttering in a low voice, but he felt the bow of the boat sway slightly, and the man who had just talked to him was standing beside him, his eyes fixed on the painting boat, and suddenly said: "You just said that the boats can collide with each other, right? ?"

Boatman: "..."

After a while, the boatman shivered and rowed the boat to the painting boat that had been parked in the middle of the lake, and persuaded: "Your Excellency, this painting boat belongs to the young master of the Sui family. He doesn't seem to have a good temper. If, if..."

The nobleman did not speak, and his eyes were still fixed on the window lattice of the painting boat.

Before waiting for the boatman to persuade him, he saw the man beside him stepping on the edge of the boat, floating on the boat like a dragon.

The people behind him also rose to the ground and quickly fell behind him.

The boatman stared at them in astonishment, and realized that he had held a bar of gold at some point in his hand.

After receiving a lot of reward, the boatman was stunned for a while, and then he said cheerfully: "Thank you very much, I hope that your heart's wishes will come true, and everything will go well."

Duan Mingchong slightly tilted his head to look at him and said with a smile, "I borrow your blessings."

Jiangnan has recovered, he untied the cloak and handed it to the guard behind him, and walked into the painting boat.

It seemed that someone was playing the piano inside, which was very pleasant.

Duan Mingchong put his hand on the carved door frame and was about to open the door when he heard someone talking inside.

Duan Mingchong held his breath and focused his attention.

"You've been clamoring for celebration since the old emperor died. How can you be like this? How long are we going to float here? I'm going to vomit."

"Seasick?" The voice was soft and soft, "Silly boy, you can choose to jump into the lake."

The sound of the piano suddenly collapsed.

When Duan Mingchong heard this sentence, he felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and he felt a little embarrassed by the nostalgia.

The person he has been thinking about for three years is just behind this door, as long as the door is opened, he will be able to see him, hold him, and will not be separated until death.

But Duan Mingchong still didn't dare.

The man in the painting boat was dressed in a purple robe and had a tall figure. His long hair was loose and he didn't seem to have time to comb it. It was extremely messy.

He was leaning on the soft couch, his eyebrows seemed to be seductive without knowing it, but it was a pity that he threw his wink at the blind man, Jun Jingxing didn't even look at him, he played the piano with a sullen face.

Sui Yan said lazily, "I made a mistake."

Jun Jingxing stroked the strings and said coldly, "Come on, come on."

Sui Yan glanced at him sideways, and said lightly, "I can't let people tell you if I play it wrong, how can you be like this?"

Jun Jingxing was almost mad at him, he pushed the qin and said coldly, "Stop playing, look at the whole of Lin'an, no, the whole of Jiangnan, during the national mourning period, where is there someone like you who deliberately played the qin on the painting boat to make fun? Aren't you afraid of being sued by someone with a heart to the new emperor?"

"The new emperor?" Sui Yan tilted his head and put the peach blossom wine in his hand on the small case. I don't know if he was drunk, he laughed for a long time before saying, "It would be nice if it really got to him. , even if you come to arrest me, hahaha…”

"Come and condemn me."

All the peach blossom wine on the painting boat was mixed with sugar water by Jun Jingxing, Sui Yan could not drink the spirits, but the sugar water was barely able to drink it.

He stumbled and sat up on the soft couch, muttering something in his mouth, staggered to the door, and said, "It's so hot, you don't mind if I open a window."

Jun Jingxing said angrily, "That's the door, don't go into the water."

Sui Yan turned back at him with a dazed look and hummed provocatively: "I won't fall if Duan Mingchong falls."

As soon as he exerted force, he pushed the door open vigorously, and suddenly there was a muffled "bang", as if hitting something.

All I heard was an exclamation and a thud, as if someone had fallen.

Sui Yan's feet floated a little, confused and the rest of the dark guards outside stared wide-eyed for a moment before facing Jun Jingxing: "Yuejian, are you looking for you?"

Jun Jingxing froze in place and muttered, "Painting Boat... It's just the two of us..."

Sui Yan scratched his hair, said "Oh", and slammed the door shut, saying vaguely, "I don't know, don't care."

Jun Jingxing: "… "

Everyone: "… "

Dark Guard: "Your Majesty!"

The author has something to say: Unexpectedly, this is three years later!

Suiyan: On the first day the prince was away, I missed him, missed him.

The second day after the prince was away, I thought... Jiangnan is so hi! ! ! ! !
