On the fifth day of feeding Situ Zhoulan the male and female Gu, Wen Chan received an invitation from the Liang family.
Dressed upright, Wen Chan swallowed nervously, attended the appointment of the Liang couple on time, and arrived at the Liang residence.
The servant directly led Wen Chan into the side hall of the mansion, and as soon as he entered, he saw Liang Jun and Mrs. Liang sitting upright.
When Liang Jun saw him, he stood up and saluted, "I pay homage to Your Highness Ninth Prince."
Mrs. Liang also saluted, both of them were smiling, and their expressions were not as bad as Wen Chan imagined.
Wen Chan raised his hand, "Lord Liang, you don't need to be too polite."
Liang Jun waved his hands twice, all the servants in the room withdrew, and closed the door firmly, Wen Chan suddenly became stiff and stood stiffly, not knowing what to say.
"Your Highness, please sit down." Liang Jun said.
Wen Chan turned to one side and sat down, cleared his throat and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Liang is looking for me?"
Liang Jun and Mrs. Liang also took their seats. After listening to Wen Chan's question, they glanced at each other, and Liang Jun said, "I hope that your highness will forgive me for taking the liberty. This time, your highness is invited here for the banquet one thing."
As soon as he heard him mention Liang Yanbei, Wen Chan became even more nervous, and said calmly, "Master Liang, but it's okay to say."
"Yesterday, Yanbei told me that he is leaving the capital." Liang Jun said, "I thought about it for a while, and it probably has something to do with His Highness. I dare to ask, does Your Highness have any plans to leave the capital?"
Wen Chan didn't expect Liang Yanbei to tell Liang Jun so quickly, and he was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Is it possible to ask a question: What does his leaving the capital have to do with me
But Liang Jun obviously knew that his relationship with Liang Yanbei was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have invited him over directly. He could at least be 80 to 90% sure of asking this question.
Maybe it was Liang Yanbei who confessed to him
Wen Chan thought for a while, but Liang Jun still waited patiently, without the slightest sign of anxiety, and when he came back to himself, he replied, "I really have this plan."
"When are you planning to leave?" Liang Jun didn't show any surprise when he got the answer, it seemed that he had expected it long ago.
Wen Chan was quite surprised, "Master Liang allowed Liang Yan to go north?"
"It's not allowed to say it." Mrs. Liang smiled at Wen Chan with a soft expression, "Our Liang family is just a temporary habitat in Yanbei. If he wants to leave, we have no right to stop him."
He raised his eyebrows incomprehension, "After all, you are Liang Yanbei's parents, and the Liang family is also his home. How can it be called a temporary habitat?"
Liang Jun sighed and said, "Your Highness doesn't know, this is a secret of the couple. One night more than ten years ago, the minister and the minister had the same dream. In the dream was a fairy in white clothes and golden eyes. The appearance of the exiled immortal made it impossible to look directly at him, and the minister couldn't help but kneel down just by looking at him, but the immortal helped the minister up, and only said that he was the reincarnation of a god named Yanbei, who was born in the Liang family, and then I woke up from the dream."
"At first, I just thought it was a ridiculous dream, but the next day I checked the Ping'an pulse and found out the happy pulse. When the child was born in October, when the child came out of the mother's womb, he was wearing a string of simple bracelets. It is engraved with the word Yanbei, which is also the origin of Liang Yanbei's name."
Mrs. Liang said, "In the past so many years, the matter has long since passed away, so it is meaningless to investigate the truth. Back then, the minister's wife married into the Liang family and did not have a child for four years. It was the god who gave the minister's wife Heng'er, so for many years, Yan Bei in the Liang family is not only our son, but also our salvation."
"I raised Yanbei as my own son, but I always knew in my heart that the Liang family was only a temporary habitat for Yanbei. If he wants to leave, I have no right to stop him."
After hearing this, Wen Chan was so shocked that his expression was a little dull.
Originally thought that if he wanted to be with Liang Yanbei, the biggest difficulty would be the Liangs and his wife first, but he didn't think about it. The two of them had no intention of stopping the opposition. Thinking of the previous incident, he wondered, "Then why is Mrs. Liang Want to find a marriage for Liang Yanbei?"
Mrs. Liang sighed softly, "After all, it is the son who has been raised for more than ten years. It was just a weak struggle of the minister's wife. In the end, His Highness also saw it. He doesn't want it, and no one can force it."
I see.
Wen Chan understood in an instant, and the two specially invited him here, and the purpose of saying these words was probably to express to Wen Chan: We already know about the matter of you and Liang Yanbei being together, but we do not object, and support it a little bit.
The remaining nervousness in him disappeared immediately, and there was joy in his heart, and a smile in his eyes. He thought for a while and said, "Did Mrs. Liang ask Situ Zhoulan to find me?"
Mrs. Liang was extremely surprised after hearing this, "Why did Your Highness say such a thing?"
From that appearance, it seems that they don't want to lie, and with the attitude of Liang and his wife, they probably wouldn't do that kind of thing. It must be that Situ Zhoulan came to him in the name of Mrs. Liang earlier, it was nonsense.
Wen Chan shook his head lightly, "It's nothing."
But Liang Jun is so smart, he noticed something was wrong in just a moment, thinking that it is meaningless to settle accounts after the fall at this time. I know what's wrong, I still wear a veil to cover my face when I go out, and I talk to people in a trance, even if the doctor looks at it, I can't see anything wrong, I think I will return to Jinling in a few days."
Mrs. Liang followed, "She said she had some rashes on her face, so it's inconvenient to reveal her face."
Wen Chan's expression didn't change after hearing this, and he took it with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Situ, a famous genius doctor in Jinling, is coming to the capital?"
"Indeed, it will be here in about two days." Liang Jun said.
"It's good when we arrive." Wen Chan nodded meaningfully.
Liang Jun didn't dare to stay in Wenchan for too long, "Your Highness, the Liang family is traveling all over Xiliang. If Your Highness needs anything in Xiliang, just use the Liang family. Be more careful."
Wen Chan was a little moved, he nodded obediently, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, I have written it all down."
The Liangs finally gave Wen Chan a big gift and sent Wen Chan out of the mansion.
Wen Chan took a deep breath, feeling extremely relaxed physically and mentally.
He had already made up his mind that in the beginning of spring after the new year, he would leave the capital, go wherever he wanted, and be with Liang Yanbei.
——
The sound of firecrackers exploded in the capital, and the New Year came.
Every year on this day, people in the capital would go to Yanxiang Temple to pray for blessings, fly sky lanterns, and send their wishes to the sky. However, because of a fire in Yanxiang Temple, the people had to fly sky lanterns in a spare place in the capital.
Zhong Wenjin stood beside the Yufu Tower, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, with his neck tucked up, stomping his feet non-stop, "Why don't you come, are you trying to freeze me to death?"
Xie Zhaoxue saw it from the side, raised her hand to untie her cloak, and muttered, "I told you to wear thicker clothes before leaving, you must listen..."
He hurriedly stopped, "Don't, your body is just right, don't freeze to death, I'll just go and grab one."
The people standing in front of the Yufu Tower were all people, many of them heard his words, wrapped their clothes tightly around their bodies silently, and walked a little further away.
Xie Zhaoxue grabbed him, "Don't mess around."
"I'm joking." Zhong Wenjin said happily, "Do I look like that kind of person? I've been a good person for a long time!"
As he spoke, he cast his eyes and saw two people walking slowly not far away, and immediately waved and shouted, "We are here!"
It was Liang Yanbei and Wen Chan who came.
Today, Wen Chan specially wore a bright red suit to reflect the taste of the new year, which made his face pale and tender, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.
Liang Yanbei walked beside him, Jun had the usual smile on his face, but it was also obvious that he was in a good mood.
The two of them walked up to Zhong Wenjinman, and as soon as they stood still, they heard him complain, "What's the matter with you, why are you here so late, we've been waiting here for a long time."
Wen Chan glared at Liang Yanbei angrily, but said nothing.
But Liang Yanbei laughed, "It's not very cold today, why are you as cold as a shrunken bastard?"
Zhong Wenjin got angry, and stretched his neck all the way, "You can see clearly, who shrank their heads?!"
Wen Chan: "..." Don't you think you are more like a bastard
Xie Zhaoxue touched his neck and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry, let's go, let's go to the clothes shop in front and buy you a cotton coat to put on it."
"All right, all right." Zhong Wenjin's cat was patted in an instant, and he obediently followed Xie Zhaoxue.
This trip was proposed by Liang Yanbei. Last year, he invited Wen Chan to play with him on the street several times but was rejected. This was a small lump in Liang Yanbei's heart.
Now, looking at the opportunity, he made an appointment with Wen Chan as he wished. He was happy at first, but when he turned his face away, Wen Chan called Xie Zhaoxue and Zhong Wenjin again.
Liang Yanbei was angry and helpless. Before leaving, he kissed Wen Chan for a long time as punishment, and it was too late.
After the four of them went to the clothes shop to buy cotton clothes for Zhong Wenjin, they stepped on and wandered around the capital.
It was the time when the night market was in full swing, and there were laughter and laughter everywhere. Several people walked in it, and occasionally stopped in front of the stalls to have a look, which was comfortable and cozy.
A road came to an end, and when Zhong Wenjin was about to propose a U-turn, Wen Chan said, "We're leaving."
Xie Zhaoxue and Zhong Wenjin stopped at the same time, looked at Wen Chan, and listened to him say, "After the beginning of spring, we will leave the capital."
Zhong Wenjin was shocked, "Where are you going? Could it be that the emperor found out about your affairs and wants to drive you away?!"
Wen Chan was amused by his reaction, "That's not the case, it's just that Liang Yanbei and I want to leave here and go outside for a walk."
Xie Zhaoxue's reaction was calmer, and she glanced at Liang Yanbei, "Does Master Liang know?"
Liang Yanbei nodded lightly, "There are not many people who know about it, and you two are one of them. To be clear, after we leave this time, we don't know when we will come back. This is the last farewell."
After hearing this, Zhong Wenjin was stunned for a moment, and then showed a reluctance, but he couldn't say anything hypocritical, so he opened his mouth awkwardly, and said, "Are you really not coming back?"
"Not necessarily." Wen Chan said, "Liang Yanbei's home is here, maybe we will come back here in the future."
Liang Yanbei glanced at Wen Chan unexpectedly, "Didn't you say you would never come back?"
"Can I change my mind?" He replied, there are too many variables in the fate, no one can say for sure, besides, the Liang family is still here, it is impossible for Liang Yanbei to give up completely, and Wen Chan can't bear it.
Zhong Wenjin said, "You must come back."
Xie Zhaoxue embraced his shoulder, patted him comfortingly, and said to Liang Yanbei, "Brother Yanbei, be careful on the road, and you must protect His Highness the Ninth Prince."
His friendship with Liang Yanbei lies in the fact that he understands Liang Yanbei, knows what is most important to Liang Yanbei, and also knows what kind of relationship Liang Yanbei needs.
Liang Yanbei smiled and nodded, "You should also pay attention in the capital." He glanced at Zhong Wenjin and said, "There are some things, don't be too anxious."
Xie Zhaoxue also looked down at Zhong Wenjin, and smiled dotingly, "Yes."
Zhong Wenjin was staring at Wen Chan with scorching eyes, begging in his eyes, "You...will come back, right?"
Wen Chan retreated steadily, and was forced to make a promise, "Yes, yes."
"I'll wait for you." He said again.
Liang Yanbei happily said, "When you become an old man in his seventies and eighties, we will come back to see you and give you the last floor."
Zhong Wenjin's face wrinkled instantly, "Can you stop talking, every time I hear you talk, my brain hurts badly."
The two had a bad relationship in their previous life, Wen Chan hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Don't worry, we will definitely come back to see you." After thinking about it, he added, "Before you become old man Zhong."
Zhong Wenjin: "..." I don't feel very relieved.
The four of them said a few more words, and a huge firework suddenly exploded in the night sky, and the sound was heard far away, causing everyone to look up.
The gorgeous fireworks are colorful, lighting up the entire night sky, turning into thousands of small sparks, embellishing this night full of New Year flavor.
Every household's sky lanterns slowly floated into the air, converging into a long river of yellow candle lights, floating in a line to the sky, to a height beyond the reach of ordinary people. Those sky lanterns are full of blessings and hopes.
Liang Yanbei bought four sky lanterns, and several of them wrote down their wishes and let them fly together under the sky made up of sky lanterns.
Wen Chan's gaze followed the sky lantern higher and higher, farther and farther away, until it disappeared into the night, then he lowered his head, measured his face, and met Liang Yanbei's focused gaze.
Liang Yanbei, who was caught peeping, smiled generously, took Wen Chan's hand, wrapped it tightly, and warmed his palm.
Wen Chan also smiled lightly, and clasped his five fingers back.
——
Spring begins, the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month.
Wen Chan and Liang Yanbei walked out of the capital slowly, one person and one horse.
After stepping on the new shoots and walking out of the distance, Wen Chan stopped his horse and turned his head, turning around to look at the bustling capital city.
That was the place where he was born and raised. He experienced both joy and pain in that city. In the city, he met Liang Yanbei, met him, fell in love with him, and endured for half his life because of certain things. depression and bitterness.
There are dawn and darkness in the city, and the happiest happiness and the despair of being sad are all in it. It is a capital city full of Wen Chan's memories.
Fortunately, God gave him a gift and gave him a new life.
It's passed.
Wen Chan chuckled, then turned his head, and saw Liang Yanbei looking at him against the light, his handsome face couldn't see the expression clearly, and he stretched out his hand to him when he saw it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wen Chan put his hand up and shook hands with him, "Let's go."
Since then, there have been thousands of passers-by, and there is always a person who will always stand by Wen Chan's side, leading him all over the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Look at the vast mountains and rivers, look at the desert wilderness, see all the strange scenery in this world, and finally find a peaceful small town, work with Liang Yanbei, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Wen Chan will never be alone again, and Liang Yanbei will never wait again.
