roses and lilies

King Liang didn't put on airs, just like visiting an old friend in Shangshu Mansion.He speaks elegantly, has an extraordinary appearance, and is very polite in his speech and manner.

"My lord Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you! It's a pleasure to meet you! I heard that you are coming to the manor, so I hurried over to pay a visit! How is it? Are you still used to it? If you need anything, just tell me! I'll arrange someone to take care of it!" Although King Liang didn't speak much, he started from the heart and was so approachable.

Master Xuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thousands! I never expected you to come here. It's really disappointing, but it makes this house full of brilliance."

When the two of you spoke, and I spoke, they began to chat.

This Yuanyu was standing behind King Liang, and when he saw these two grey-haired ministers of the Ministry of Rites, he felt contemptuous of the elders in his heart.He thought to himself, this person is so old, he just won the exam, he must be extremely stupid, his father is the body of a dragon, but he condescends to visit him so much, it is really disrespectful, and he chatted so lively.It really gave the old man enough face.What is he!
Yuanyu thought in her heart that she was going to look beside Master Xuan, if she didn't look at it, she was quite surprised!What is the reason?He found a beautiful and charming woman standing beside Master Xuan.

But seeing that he was born with a handsome face, a small egg-shaped face, with a pair of big black eyes inlaid, a pointed nose, as elegant as a portrait of a court maid, and a small vermilion mouth that is slightly upturned, showing the playfulness Slightly and exquisitely beautiful, the straight long hair hangs down, and the light blue long sleeve dress shows her virtuous temperament even more.

For a while, Yuanyu's eyes never left this charming woman.He likes to look for flowers and ask willows on weekdays, and there are clouds of beauties in his house, who accompany him to have fun every day. It can be said that he has seen countless women. What beautiful women have you never seen?However, when I saw Xuanya today, she was definitely not comparable to those women, so I couldn't help but be impressed by her beauty.So he secretly calculated that if he could get such a beautiful woman as his wife, then he would have no regrets in this life!
Yuan Yu quietly listened to Master Xuan's introduction to her father, and only then did she know that the beautiful woman beside her was her daughter Xuan Ya.In this way, he had some respect for Master Xuan, and he randomly calculated in his mind that it is very likely that Master Xuan will become his old father-in-law in the future.Therefore, those previous contemptuous thoughts disappeared.

Liang Wang had a very happy chat with Lao Xuan. He felt that although this new imperial examination candidate was a little older, he was very eloquent, elegant and modest, but possessed great talent and general vision. Therefore, he was very optimistic about him.This Ministry of Rituals is the most important thing, but it needs an experienced person to handle these complicated affairs well.After thinking about it, they chatted a few more words before leaving, after all, they were also visited by other newly promoted officials.

Lao Xuan took his daughter Xuanya and sent King Liang and his son Yuanyu out of the gate of the mansion. After watching the two get on the sedan chair and go far away, they returned to the mansion to continue welcoming guests.

Only then did Lao Xuan know that it was extremely hard work to be an official in the court!The key is to be tired!Although he doesn't worry about his livelihood, he has to deal with the relationship with these court officials every day.It has just been a day since entering the mansion, but many people have been greeted and sent. Of course, the Liang Wang Qiansui is the most important person among these many people. I feel exhausted physically and mentally.

These days, although Xuanya and her father are busy, she misses her lover Zhan Rong all the time. She eats delicious food and drinks spicy food in this Shangshu Mansion, and enjoys endless glory and wealth. At that moment, she wondered if Zhan Rong was eating bran swallowed vegetables again at this moment?Whenever she browses in this huge study room, although she has an endless array of books, she finds it boring, and she no longer has the fun of stealing books and reading secretly.This may be that even if the lover is by his side, even if he suffers and suffers a little bit, at least the mood is happy.

The endless thoughts piled up together, and they turned from heartbeats into actions. On that cool and pleasant morning, Xuanya ordered people to prepare carriages, and brought a large number of beautifully bound books and some delicious pastries and fruits prepared in advance. Then he headed towards the big tree at the entrance of the village.That place used to be the warm little home of the two. They played there as childhood sweethearts since they were young.She could think how much Zhan Rong missed her these days.This feeling is also what she experienced.But at this time, she once again thought of the song Untitled by Li Shangyin:

"When we meet, it's hard to say goodbye. The east wind is weak and the flowers are gone. The silkworms in spring will die when they die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry. The mirror at dawn, but the clouds change at the temples, and the moonlight is cold when singing at night. Pengshan has no way to go. , the blue bird is hospitable to visit."

She just wanted to step over to her lover Zhan Rong's side and confide in her longing.

When the luanling carriage drove into the entrance of the village, she once again saw the dilapidated village, the shabby houses riddled with holes, where the carriage passed by, there was a large blur of mud and dust. The scene, the big tree at the entrance of the village is still standing on the slope with luxuriant branches and leaves.Looking from a distance, their loving hut turned out to be so beautiful and moving, which made her yearn for it. How much she wished to return to this remote and remote place and live the carefree life of ordinary people.Stay together with Zhan Rong for a lifetime in this love hut.

But whoever wants to come, there is one person under the big tree.This person was sitting under a tree, holding a thick book, and was studying it carefully.She is very familiar with that book that has long been yellowed. It is the "Historical Records" that they both love to read most.

At this moment, Xuanya couldn't hide her excitement, and she stepped out of the sedan chair, tears streaming out of her eyelids involuntarily.All kinds of memories from the past came back to her heart, and she had mixed feelings for a while, looking at Zhan Rong's serious expression, she knew that he was probably thinking of himself in the distance while reading.And he must know it well, waiting here hard, knowing that one day, his lover will return to the hut they love to meet him.

The sound of the carriage's luan bell disturbed Zhan Rong who was studying. He subconsciously looked up, and in front of him was a beautiful court lady with a handsome face, a small egg-shaped face, and a pair of big black eyes embedded in it. Eyes, pointed nose, vermilion mouth slightly upturned, straight long hair hanging down, swaying in the wind, light gold long sleeve dress, fluttering, big red sable shawl, gold hairpin on head, wearing a gold belt Jade, graceful and luxurious, can be seen at a glance as the official lady in the court.

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and it was indeed his lover Xuanya. Then he looked at the well-dressed and gorgeous horse sedan chair. This person was no longer the simple and lively little girl before, but seemed to be a different person.This made him feel deeply that there was an insurmountable sense of distance.

He knew that Xuanya's identity was no longer what it used to be, she was just the daughter of a poor scholar.Her current identity is the daughter of Shang Shuxuan, the official of the imperial court, and she has a noble status.Thinking about being a child of a poor man, he had thought very well before, hoping to marry his lover Xuanya home in a good manner.But that's just my own wishful thinking, now her status is not what it used to be, she's no longer the sour little girl she used to be, but how can she be able to climb up to that phoenix body.

This made his first reaction after seeing Xuanya be both excited and excited.However, she became indifferent for a moment, but this Xuanya was still full of enthusiasm, rushing forward to hug her lover whom she had been thinking about day and night tightly with a sense of relief, and she burst into tears like rain.

"Brother Zhan Rong! Are you okay?" Xuanya couldn't hide her excitement and asked with concern.

But Zhan Rong said very coldly: "I'm still the same! How about you? Are you still used to living in the Shangshu Mansion?" Zhan Rong's hands drooped and he didn't hug his lover tightly.Instead, he is passively embraced by his lover.

Xuanya had already noticed the change in her lover Zhan Rong's expression when she saw her just now.She didn't think too much, but Zhan Rong was not as enthusiastic about her as she imagined.On the contrary, it seemed extremely cold.This caused her burning enthusiasm to be extinguished in an instant.She let go of her hands at a loss, and looked into the eyes of her lover Zhan Rong face to face, "Brother Zhan Rong! Don't you miss me at all?" Zhan Rong still said coldly: "Miss Xuanya! As a The daughter of Master Shangshu, I am very grateful to come to see me at the expense of traveling so far! As for whether I miss it or not, I don’t think I have the right to hope for anything. I am just a person from a poor family, and I have no Those who are qualified to associate with the eldest lady, from now on, you should stop running this way! I accept this kind of intention, and it is really beyond the reach. Please come back!"

Xuanya never imagined that her beloved would say such words so heartlessly. The sudden change in her attitude made her at a loss, as if she had eaten ice cubes, but her heart was not small.

However, after thinking about it, what Zhan Rong said just now, inside and outside the words, is actually to feel that the family background of the two of them has undergone a qualitative change.In other words, the reason why he said this was because he was helpless at the beginning.As long as she dispels his worries, this problem can be easily solved.

"Brother Zhan Rong! You may have misunderstood! My father was named on the gold list and became an official in the court. This is indeed a fact. Our family has also entered the trajectory of an official family. The feelings between us have nothing to do with each other. You should understand my feelings for you!
For you, I can give up all the affluent life, and I would rather live a life of chaff and vegetables with you. These glory and wealth are really not worth mentioning to me.Do you feel that my identity has changed, and my heart has also changed, right?
I will tell you today, my heart for you will never change!Now you should understand!Not only that, but when I settle down, I will tell my father to bring you and your parents to the house, and quickly arrange the marriage between you and me, and I will never let you suffer here again. "Xuanya's words were very sincere, and Zhan Rong was moved by her heartfelt words.

After hearing this, Zhan Rong burst into tears, and hugged Xuanya's weak body tightly, "Sister Xuanya! I had no choice but to say those words! Since you left, I have been Riri Cha I don’t think, I don’t want to eat, I can’t sleep at night, my mind is full of you, I really don’t know what my life will be like if I don’t see you!”

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, the two hug each other tightly, and the whole world is condensed into this sweet little house of love.
