The gate of the Jingguo Mansion is very grand, not to mention, the door plaque written by the emperor Taizu is already an honor that is beyond the reach of the great families. There are two side doors on each side of the main entrance with vermilion gold nails, eight large red-lacquered pillars, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and two white marble lions on the left and right with their heads held high.
Dan Yu wandered around in front of the side door for several times. Originally, he wanted to go in directly to find the Second Master Chu, but he had neither invitation card nor name badge, and was not even qualified to enter the door, so he was stopped by the door servant.
He thought, then wait outside, it will always come out, right
This waited for several hours, until the sun was shining on the top of the head, Dan Yu felt his stomach rumbling, and he was very hungry. He had no choice but to buy a bowl of noodles on the corner of the street, the kind with cracked eggs. He was also afraid that he would not be able to squat with Second Master Chu after leaving, so he simply took a bowl after buying noodles and continued squatting at the gate to eat and wait.
He just lowered his head and took two bites when he saw someone coming out from the side door. The one walking in front was a slender young man, wearing a vermilion flower official uniform with a navy blue bamboo pattern cloak, he looked handsome and tall.
A little boy led a horse and followed behind. The man turned around and said something to the little boy, and took the reins of the horse. As if aware of a gaze that had been falling on him, he suddenly turned his head and met Shang Danyu's intent gaze.
The sun at the head was a bit dazzling, reflecting a thin layer of gold on the people in front of the door, his handsome face was like polished and round jade, not sharp but full of reassuring comfort, Dan Yu suddenly couldn't swallow it while holding his face Already...
Li Xun originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but as soon as he went out, he saw someone squatting across the road staring at him. Half of the chopsticks were still stuffing the noodles in his mouth, and his twinkling eyes did not blink. I don't know how long he squatted, his face was covered with Zeng Bohong, and the fine beads of sweat glistened under his forehead hair.
"Over there..." Just as Li Xun wanted to ask the doorman who that person was, he saw the young man who had been squatting solidly stand up suddenly and walked a few steps towards him.
He was still not willing to let go of the blue and white bowl.
"That, that..." Dan Yu plucked up the courage to walk in front of Li Xun, raised his head, stared at him with what he thought were very imposing eyes, and said word by word: "Maybe I can take a step to speak?"
Li Xi was not very clear when he was far away, but now when he is standing in front of him, he can see clearly that the boy is not weak, his appearance is beautiful and pleasant, and his black and white eyes are clear to the bottom at a glance. He hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know who you are?"
Dan Yu squeezed the edge of the bowl tightly, turned his heart, and said: "I saw you coming out of the mansion, and the door servants looked respectful to you, I think you are the owner of this mansion, Chu Qing, the second master of the Chu family, said goodbye Is it? Can I... May I just take you a moment to talk about what happened between you and my brother. "
"Your brother?" Li Zi was taken aback, but he never thought that this young man had mistaken him.
Dan Yu nodded and said, "My brother is Zhenbeihou, General Yunhui Qin Zheng."
As soon as the name came to his ears, Li Xi's expression darkened a bit, and he said, "Are you his younger brother?"
Dan Yu nodded again.
Li Zi took a step back and said: "You have found the wrong person, Chu Qingci is my teacher, but if you want to talk to him about your brother, I think there is no need, please go back."
Dan Yu was stunned, did he admit to the wrong person after so long of mental construction? Seeing the person in front of him get on his horse and want to leave, he wanted to grab his sleeve and tell him to wait a little longer. Just at this time Li Xun was about to get on the horse, when Dan Yu accidentally grabbed his trouser waist, the force of this tugging was beyond imagination, there was only a slap, the waist button opened, and half of his trousers were brutally murdered...
…
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
Dan Yu Nana withdrew his hand, trembling for a while, raised the bowl in his hand: "Are you hungry... I, I'll give you my noodles..."
Li Xun: ...
After living for nearly twenty years, it was the first time that she couldn't make a choice between covering her face and covering her buttocks, and because of this, she began to doubt life.
Dan Yu felt very guilty, seeing that Li Xun was motionless, she was so frightened that she hurriedly helped him lift his pants, this trembling was unreasonable, he forgot that he was still holding half a bowl of noodles in his hand, and splashed Li Xun's crotch with a bang.
"Brother..." Dan Yu was about to cry, "I didn't mean to..."
Li Xun nodded stiffly: "Little brother, I don't blame you, maybe it's my fate..."
Dan Yu held Li Xun's trouser waist in one hand and the bowl in the other, choked up and said, "Brother, what should we do?"
"How about this, you let go first, and take a few steps back." Li Xi was glad that the ones who were stripped off were only the nephews and not the obscene pants, so that he wouldn't hurt his morals in the street.
Dan Yu let go of his hand obediently, and said in a crying voice, "Brother, how far back, how far?"
Li Xun took a deep breath, and thought to himself, let's step back thirty-nine meters.
A canopy carriage came out of the mansion and was parked in front of the door.
A slightly thin hand opened the curtain of mist hanging on the window, first the sharp jaw, then the thin lips lightly pursed into an arc, and then the cold and charming eyes. The shocking beauty and unobstructed paleness make people feel palpitations for no reason.
"Is there... a friend?" Chu Yu looked at the two people outside the car, and was rarely able to figure out what was going on.
Thinking about it, the sun was too poisonous, Li Xi and Dan Yu were sweating at the same time.
"A misunderstanding... Mister, let's go to the household department first, I... I'll go back and change clothes..." Li Wei just now felt that he might have encountered the most desperate moment in his life, but at this moment he realized that despair has never happened before. bottom line. It was as if Chu Yu saw the scene in front of him clearly.
After saying that, Li Xun turned around and ran with his trousers in one hand, what was spilled all the way was not noodles, but a withered heart.
Chu Yu's uncontrollable chuckle came from behind him: "Qing Yu, you are a very interesting kid, why don't you come and sit at home?"
"No, there's no need..." Li Xun squeezed out a word, and walked away without looking back.
"Chi..." Chu Yu bent his elbows and leaned on the window sill, shaking wildly with laughter. After a long time, he barely stopped talking, and hooked his fingers at Dan Yu, who was stupidly aside, with great interest.
The slightly thin fingertips looked like beautiful jade that had been measured and polished inch by inch, with every hook and pick, half of the soul was pulled away.
When Dan Yu came back to his senses, he had already walked to the carriage and looked at the beauty leaning against the window through the window.
Chu Yu was rarely interested, looked at the young man in front of him, and said after a long while: "My family, Qingyu, is the most knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and has a gentleman's demeanor. Today is an eye-opener for me to see such a different side from the past. , your child is quite powerful."
Dan Yu blushed suddenly, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I, I didn't do it on purpose... I... I came to find Second Master Chu..."
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows lightly: "Huh? Looking for me?"
Dan Yu suddenly raised his head, then quickly lowered his head, wrinkling his pockets with his fingertips.
"Why are you looking for me?" Chu Yu asked.
Standing outside the carriage, Dan Yu looked up to see Chu Yu, saw his fingertips that were white and transparent under the sun, saw his black hair hanging outside the carriage, and saw the flakes cast by his drooping eyelashes. In the shadows, there are unparalleled eyes hidden. Originally, the words that I had thought about countless times were fragmentary and I couldn't say them.
Chu Yu tapped on the window twice lightly, and said, "Master has something to go to the household department at the moment, if you really have something to tell me, why don't you come up and talk about it?"
Dan Yu nodded in a daze, but obediently climbed into the car.
After entering the car, I found that there is a hidden cave, deerskin wall, tiger pattern blanket, pear wood table, brocade couch, exquisite purple sand pot, nine lotus gilt stove, and a faint medicinal fragrance permeates the car.
"Polygonatum odoratum, Cornus officinalis, Eclipta chinensis... The second master of Chu is weak and cold, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently?" Dan Yu asked softly.
Chu Yu was leaning halfway on the couch, holding a volume of idle books in his hand to pass the time. Hearing this, he smiled faintly: "I can't tell, but he is actually a little doctor."
Dan Yu was a little dazed by this smile, only then did he know what to do to be a heavenly man, he nodded and said: "My grandfather is a military doctor, my father is a military doctor, and I am also a military doctor..."
Chu Yu suppressed half of her smile when she heard the words, lightly pressed the scroll in her hand to her chin, and slightly closed her eyes: "Oh? Military doctor."
Dan Yu nodded and announced his family name.
Before he finished talking, Chu Yu interrupted with a sneer.
Dan Yu was startled, and said, "I'm here today because of my brother."
Chu Yu pursed her lips, put down the scroll in her hand, and said in a cool tone, "There is nothing to talk about."
"Why is Second Master Chu so unfeeling!" Dan Yu was a little anxious, and said straightaway: "Although my brother and Second Master have reconciled, isn't there an old saying that a husband and wife once a day is a hundred days of kindness? Besides, brother's love for the Second Master There is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. The second master does not know how my brother survived that year. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and who knows when he will never return. Every time before going to the battlefield, my brother always reads the name of the second master. Several times He came down from the battlefield with only one breath... But he survived again and again, just because he had a clear resignation in his heart! He was born as a convict, and what he has paid to get to where he is today is unimaginable for ordinary people... "
In the end, Dan Yu's voice was trembling, and he almost burst into tears because of disappointment. He choked up and said, "Seeing someone like Second Master today, I understand why my brother is so devoted to each other. I just beg Second Master to show mercy. My brother has his own heart, at least... at least don't... trample on his sincerity in vain."
The incense of traditional Chinese medicine curled up in the furnace, and white smoke lingered around.
Chu Yu stood up, and slowly said: "You said that one day is a husband and wife, one hundred days of kindness, but you can count the days when he and I can still be called husband and wife. It's over too."
Dan Yu tightened his fingers and said, "But now..."
"You said that he is good in every way, but if he doesn't have you in his heart, what's the use?" Chu Yu couldn't help chuckling. It took him decades to understand this truth, which is really stupid.
"No, that's not the case." Dan Yu shook his head and said, "If he can get well, the rest is not important."
Chu Yu pursed her lips: "He is a gifted romantic, and in the bitter cold days in the frontier, I still have you to cherish him."
Dan Yu jumped up like a fury: "I didn't!"
"Huh?" Chu Yu's nasal voice was full of bone-chilling laziness.
Under the gaze of this gaze, Dan Yu gradually couldn't sit still, his heart was exposed, he simply gritted his teeth and admitted: "I, I like him..."
Chu Yu didn't speak, making it difficult for people to see his emotions clearly.
Dan Yu bit the bullet and said: "Although you are unparalleled in appearance, you are an official of the court, you are also from a famous family, and you have a noble title... But, but I also..." After a long while, he couldn't say "not bad".
After holding back for a long time, Dan Yu was extremely depressed, so he could only say: "I can't compare to... one star and a half..."
A low laugh came, causing Dan Yu to raise his head and meet Chu Yu's gaze.
Chu Yu didn't mean to be sarcastic. In those years, she encountered too many provocations. Either they are scheming, or they are arrogant, or they are eccentric, and so on... The one who is straightforward and stupid is the first one.
Dan Yu blushed even more: "I only hope that my brother can get what he wants, that's all."
Chu Yu looked away, it was the autumn season outside the window, and the wind was blowing red, floating in the palm of his hand. A long sigh, scattered in the boundless autumn scenery: "There is no saying that everything goes smoothly in one's life."
Dan Yu looked at the person in front of him, but couldn't say a word. People always heard how the Second Master Chu was arrogant, fierce, and arrogant, but all he saw was the boundless loneliness and the indifference of others. The pale palm catches the red and residual flowers falling outside the window, how can a thin person be at home.
Chu Yu gently squeezed the palms together, kneaded the residual flowers on the fingertips, squeezed out the pink flower juice and dyed the pale fingertips red, like a touch of rouge melted in the snow, with an intoxicating fragrance. He looked at Dan Yu, and said: "It's good that you are here, lest the master send someone to go again. This, please pass it on to him for me."
A brocade box was taken out from the desk drawer, on which were carved a lotus with twining branches and leaves, very delicate.
Dan Yu glanced at the brocade box, nodded and took it...
The sound of horseshoes stopped abruptly, and they were about to reach the Ministry of Households, so this meeting was a temporary farewell.
※
Qin Zheng's palms were covered with sweat.
After Dan Yu finished talking, he pushed the brocade box in front of him, and said, "Second Master only talked so much to me, and he entrusted me to bring this box to my brother."
Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and gently opened the golden lock with the crane pattern on the box, and gently opened the lid.
There was a faint medicinal fragrance, and the wall of the box was inlaid with cat's-eye jade, reflecting the extraordinary brilliance in the box. Gold velvet cloth is used as a low lining, and a jade pendant is placed in the middle.
With slender eyebrows and boundless compassion, holding flowers with a smile and not asking the world, it is a Jade Avalokitesvara.
Qin Zheng's heart gradually cooled down, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen, and he smiled bitterly for a long time: "He still refuses to..."
Under the jade pendant is half a pair of peach blossom paper, which reads:
I never think about it, you don't think about me, give your heart to me at this moment, and give it to others.
A few strokes, elegant and clear, flowing and flowing, is the standard Chu family's style of writing.
