The autumn wind rolled up the leaves and ran on the streets of Bianliang City. Some leaves fell on the river beside the road, constantly making slight ripples. Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng, who met by chance, were chatting in the restaurant while looking at the couple on the road below.
The young scholar in green robe and the beautiful woman in white walked side by side and talked softly, and they seemed to be a very affectionate young couple. However, Yu Hezhong knew the scholar, so he knew that the woman beside him was actually a concubine.
Autumn is getting stronger, but the temperature has not cooled down, and there are many pedestrians on the streets of Bianliang City. Seeing this couple in a glimpse, Yu Hezhong's thoughts are hard to tell clearly. He was chatting with Chen Sifeng, and his thoughts were interrupted a little. The topic was said.
Chen Sifeng also knew the scholars on the street, but for some reason, Yu Hezhong did not remind him. The two were childhood friends, but after coming to Bianliang, most of the connections that occurred were due to teachers. At this time, both of them have married and established their own businesses, and both have positions as petty officials and officials in Beijing, but they do not communicate frequently. Today is considered a chance encounter, but the topics of the two people are also trivial and trivial among their parents. It's almost enough for someone to mention it seemingly at random.
"... She refused Zhou Bangyan in the summer, it was a little strange."
"... Teacher's mind, I'm not very good at guessing."
"... Recently, there have been many proposals to marry her, but she has also rejected them. Could it be that she wants to become a monk."
"... It's not impossible."
The two shook their heads and sighed. Turning the topic away for a while, Chen Sifeng said, "She and Liheng have a different relationship."
"Liheng is too powerful. You and I can't participate in what you do. It makes sense that the teacher will ask him to discuss anything."
"Do you think Shishi wants to marry him?"
Chen Sifeng's question was casual, and Yu Hezhong also smiled casually: "Although Liheng is powerful, there is no difference between them."
"Well. The lady in Liheng's family is very powerful." Chen Sifeng nodded.
"Um?"
"It's the one named Su Tan'er. Li Heng was not in Beijing recently. She helped with Zhuji's business. I heard people say. She had a head-to-head with Zuo Houwen. Finally someone came forward. A draw. I don't know the exact process, but then a lot of messy things were dug up."
Chen Sifeng's official rank in Beijing is higher than that of Yu Hezhong, a small official in the household department, and he has some inside information. Knowing a lot more, he shook his head at this time: "I heard that when Liheng and his wife came to the capital, Zuo Houwen once suppressed her family's cloth line, and now it's only a mere year, the two sides can already fight directly, and It was when Liheng was not in Beijing. That woman, who doesn't seem to be very old, is the mother of a two-year-old child, but in fact, it's really hard to mess with."
"So, if Shishi really wants to marry into the Ning family, there will be a good show to watch."
"As Brother Yu said, things are not like that, and I don't think Shishi is so unwise."
When the two talked about it at this time, they were calm and indifferent, but only they knew how they felt after speaking. Not long after, the two who met by chance made an appointment to meet in the future, and then parted ways. Chen Sifeng left first, and Yu Hezhong did not go downstairs until he left.
He sighed and walked all the way to the direction of Fanlou. There are all kinds of pedestrians on the side of the road. Ning Yi and his concubine Yunzhu, who I saw earlier, have no idea where they have returned, and Chen Sifeng does not know where they have gone, and even he himself does not know where to go to Fanlou. What can you do.
A few days ago, when he found an opportunity, he also asked his teacher for a kiss. The original intention of opening his mouth was based on a momentary brain fever, and it was also an obsession in his heart for many years, but after opening his mouth, he knew that it was impossible to have a definite answer. Shishi's refusal was very tactful, and he was very considerate of his emotions, not to mention shameful, but... everything is gone with the autumn...
Over the years, from the once high-spirited, to now married, married, and had children, life is not very interesting, but fortunately, there are teachers and teachers. He, Chen Sifeng and others accompanied her together, growing up together, partying together, and celebrating together. Even if they were married, as long as there were such things, life would not be completely colorless. However, everything has an end.
With his boring wife and children, he could not find the feeling of being in Fanlou, and most importantly, it was impossible to find the feeling of being next to Shishi. However, in the past two years, it has become more and more clear that the teacher has to get married after all. Once she leaves, everything will be like a mirror, and everything will be gone.
At that time, where is the thing that can prove that the previous self existed
He stood outside the Fanlou for a while, and when he raised his head slightly, cold raindrops fell on his face.
It's really cool and autumn...
****************
The autumn rain suddenly came and fell on the city of Bianliang, and Momo went underground all night. The next morning, rain clouds still covered the sky, making the city's light a little darker. When Shishi came to Ning Mansion, some rooms in the courtyard were still lit with lights, and in the rain curtain, the lights seemed moist and warm.
It was Su Tan'er who received her. As the eldest woman in the family, at first glance, she didn't feel too oppressive. In terms of stature, she is slightly shorter than Yunzhu, with a plain woman's bun on her head, and an autumn blue skirt decorated with flowers. Hold your hands slightly and place them on your legs. Generally speaking, if you put your hands together, you will feel more repelling, but if you put them apart, they will appear undefended, soft, and even childish.
But Shishi still remembered that when she saw her a few times before, she was not like this. She was able to go to Fanlou to talk business with Li's mother when Ning Yi was away, and she was not at all disadvantaged in her calmness, and she was able to control Zhuji's forces during operations and fought against Zuo Houwen. When going out of the city to pray for blessings, I saw her on the stairs outside Daxing Temple. The woman crouched on the ground and stretched out a hand to let the child named Ning Xi run over. She was just as thin, and her smile was warm and soft, but the teacher knew that this woman had strength.
But at this time, she has restrained everything. Maybe Ning Yi has already gone home... After thinking about it, I know what happened...
"... Liheng rushed to the prime minister's mansion early in the morning, but there shouldn't be a lot of business today, and he will be back soon. It's raining again now, the teacher should stay here and wait for him."
In the warm light and the autumn rain that enveloped everything, Tan'er said this, and then someone served tea...
In the prime minister's mansion, in the study, Ning Yi met Qin Siyuan, Yao Zunian, Ji Kun and others, and said hello.
"... That person named Luo Jinyan committed suicide after being imprisoned. Speaking of which, Liheng really had foresight towards Qin Huizhi..."
The topic started with small talk. After speaking, everyone's emotions were not necessarily high-pitched, and their faces showed complex expressions, either silent or sneering. After a while, Qin Siyuan laughed.
"No matter what, Liheng is finally back. Sit, all sit down, there are a lot of things accumulated, let's discuss it..."
The convoluted rain clouds stretched across thousands of miles of land to the south of the land, next to a small town called Qinkou. The rain was falling, and the ground was covered with yellow leaves.
Fresh blood flowed in the water and was immediately diluted. In the morning, on the long street in the rain, a figure with a burden stood there, facing the green sedan chair carried by four men at the other end of the street.
The long baggage that was pulled behind the back with one hand, swords, spears, swords, and halberds, all kinds of weapons showed their edge. On the wall not far from the street, there was a woman with a pair of swords on her back, slowly walking over the earth wall. .
This is a stronghold of the Great Light Cult.
"Chen Fan." In the green sedan chair, the old woman's voice said the name slowly, "You are really tired of living."
"Sikongnan." In the rain, a man named Chen Fan faced the female master who had been famous for decades, and said with a smile, "As you said, people in the rivers and lakes are always buried by a new generation. Old man. You may be mistaken, our husband and wife were not intercepted by you, this time we are here for you... to avenge my master."
"Fang Qifo..." Sikong Nan said the name, "To avenge him, do you think your martial arts are enough?"
"I don't know." Chen Fan started to walk forward with the burden on his back, "But you are old, I am still young... I will not give you the chance to die of old age."
Stepping across the running water, the chilling atmosphere has solidified around. The clothes on Chen Fan's body have long been wet by the rain, but the figure below him is well-proportioned and sturdy, and every step he takes, he appears more calm and firm. For a moment, he tilted his head.
"Oh, yes, there is something I think I should tell you. Master sometimes mentions to me about taking over Manichaeism. He usually doesn't talk about you, but if he has to mention it sometimes, I think he has a lot to say about you. I feel very strange. I think he likes you. This is a matter of your older generation. The saint has left, the master is gone, and you are leaving too, but I still feel compelled to tell you this before going into the earth. ."
The green sedan was silent for a moment.
"But I think now, Master's taste is really bad. Because the last time I saw you, I wanted to say... old woman, you are really ugly-"
At the moment when the roar sounded, and the burden behind him was hurled forcefully forward, a figure rushed out from the green terry sedan: "Presumptuous—"
The cloth unfolded, knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, whips and hammers... All kinds of weapons flew into the sky, Sikong Nan's figure slashed the rain curtain, dashed away the weapons, and in mid-air, it was like a trace of an ancient demon's savage claws. , whizzing down!
Chen Fan has also rushed forward and caught the first weapon that rushed towards him. The next moment, the attack was like a furious tornado hurricane, colliding with Sikong Nan... (Please search Piao astronomy, better and faster!
