Bright Moonlit Night

The power of the housekeeper was left behind, and Wang was very unwilling.But the old lady kept her word in the mansion, and Jin Yi remained indifferent to her crying request, and it was a foregone conclusion.Bystanders looked at Wang's dejected look recently, and there were almost no people who gave charcoal in the snow, but there were many people who gloated about his misfortune.

Lu Fei was happy in her heart, but her face was restrained, and Xie Lan was overjoyed. Seeing her like this, Fu Ming said, "The person who doesn't like you has fallen into the well. If that person is really hateful, just watch it for a while and then go away." Go. Don't laugh like others laughing by the well, and don't throw stones into the well." Xie Lan chewed on these words carefully, and although she still felt that Mrs. Wang deserved it, she no longer put that smug smile on her face.

The whole Fangmanting didn't seem to care much about such important matters in the mansion.

But there are always people who want to argue with Fu Ming.

Having nothing to do, the servants gathered together to have fun, and when it came to this matter, someone said: "Aunt Wang got off the horse, and logically, the next one to get on the horse should be the young master from Fangman Court, but there is no wheel. on him."

"Isn't this also expected? Although he has the name of the main family, he is still in name only. Two days ago, the old lady invited dinner, and I didn't see the young master in the seat!"

"Master Ming must be a widow... It's also pitiful. He is still a man at a young age. He has no official career, and he is not respected when he is married. Alas, a good person is ruined like this!"

……

Others babbled, although Fu Ming had heard it a little, but had no time to pay attention to it.

Ever since he got acquainted with Zhou Chengyan and others, Fu Ming was often invited out to meet him.What he saw with both eyes was the peaceful and prosperous scenery of Kyoto under the foot of the emperor. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the market is prosperous, and the scholars, farmers, and businessmen have their own activities. .After a hundred years, he will not be left in the history books as "Fu Mingzi Yexin", but his pen and ink will remember the colorful times he has experienced.

"Knowing the stop and then having a steadfastness", he has temporarily found his place to stop, and in the past few months, he has put a lot of thought and effort into it.The Zhou brothers, Cui Jing, Qingsun, etc., after knowing his thoughts, also praised and supported him, and made suggestions for him.Zhou Chengyan even made two or three visits to Jin's Mansion every month, giving him pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and asking Fu Ming if he had any new progress or ideas.Although Fu Ming felt that he was too enthusiastic, but the other party was sincere, and he was quite congenial with him, so whenever he came, he greeted him with a smile and treated him patiently.

Since Jin Yi returned to Beijing, Fu Ming not only continued to record at hand, but also had a lot of entertainment every day.

Sui Guogong's descendants were downgraded to the rank of nobility, and by Jin Yi's generation, his reputation was not enough.But Jin Yi was quite talented in martial arts and military art since he was a child, and he was loved by his grandfather. When he was dying, he went to the emperor to ask the emperor to take care of his orphaned grandson.The emperor promised that as long as Jin Yi could make meritorious deeds after becoming an adult, he would not let Sui Guogong's mansion decline.As expected, Jin Yi was greatly favored by everyone, and this time he came back with a great victory. The Holy Majesty rewarded him for his meritorious deeds. Jin Yi was promoted to an official position, and was rewarded with many things by the Holy Majesty, including sacrificial supplies. The emperor asked him to comfort the spirits of his ancestors in heaven.This is the Holy Majesty's hint to the ministers that he has not forgotten the promise that day, and it is also a sign that Jin Yi will be reused.In recent years, Jin's Mansion, which had been gradually neglected, became lively again, and there was an endless stream of visitors who came to congratulate outside the door.

As Jin Yi's official wife, Fu Ming would come out to entertain some people from time to time. He behaved generously and spoke well, which earned him a lot of good reputation for the Jin family.The old lady invited him there, although it was meant to give advice, but in fact it was more praise and praise.Jin Yi haunted Fangman's court more frequently than before he left for the expedition.Gradually, the unbearable discussions about Fu Ming in the mansion finally subsided.Everyone also saw clearly that no matter how unfavored this Young Master is, his status will not be shaken for the time being.

Fu Ming entertained guests every day, although he was not exhausted physically and mentally, he also felt a little tired.

It’s a beautiful spring day. Those who sent the post before have seen each other. Fu Ming is going to take the opportunity to go out and go to the suburbs to see the farmers’ spring plowing. The content he wants to record also includes a volume of farming affairs. Spring plowing is not to be missed. important part of.

But before going out, Bai Lu came to Fangmanting to pass a message: "Master, please wait for him to come back in the mansion today, and said that there are distinguished guests coming to visit, and come together when Master finishes his business."

The plan came to nothing, so Fu Ming had no choice but to change his clothes, and went to the yard to draw a picture of the beautiful spring.

Just as there was a piece of peach red pear snow on the paper, the door of the courtyard was heard and footsteps came.

Jin Yi brought the honored guest directly to Fangmanting, Fu Ming put down his pen, stood up and turned around, seeing the visitor clearly, his smile bloomed like a spring flower, making his brows clearer than the clear sky in an instant.

"Your old friend, Brother Xiang Xian." Jin Yi said to Fu Ming first.

Fu Ming said with a smile: "It's finally here, I thought I wouldn't come until the spring flowers withered!" Looking at Jiang Yisun, his face was full of joy, "Yisun, are you all right?"

When they were young, they all called each other by their first names, but now this address sounds very intimate.Jiang Yisun replied: "Everything is fine. Seeing your complexion, brother Ming, I think you'll have a good time here."

Fu Ming nodded, and said: "Yisun is not what he used to be. Congratulations." As he spoke, he wanted to invite him into the house.

Jiang Yisun said: "I see Brother Ming, your courtyard is very nice, let's sit at the stone table under the flower tree over there, and we won't go into the house."

Fu Ming nodded with a smile, and the three walked to the stone table and sat down. Lu Fei and others offered wine, fruit, dried meat, etc. Fu Ming signaled them to step back, and poured wine for the people on the left and right.

"What kind of wine is this?" Jiang Yisun asked after tasting a cup.

Fu Ming replied: "The plum blossom wine brewed years ago is not strong wine. It's rare for us to get together, just have a little wine to add to the fun."

Jin Yi also drank a cup and asked, "You brewed it yourself?"

Fu Mingdao: "Fang Zi, who came with Cheng Yan's brother, tried to make a mess of himself, what do you two think?"

Jiang Yisun took another drink, "It's sweet and has a delicate fragrance. Although it's not my favorite drink, the taste is okay."

Jin Yize said: "If there are any more, please give me an altar."

Fu Ming replied with a smile: "Not much, but I can leave two altars for the Lord."

The three chatted while drinking, and Jiang Yisun talked about all the experiences he had encountered in the past few years since he left the capital. They wanted to stop several times, but Fu Ming repeatedly urged them, the two sang together, just like the storyteller and the judge in the teahouse, Jin Yize became the protagonist in their dialogue, making him feel embarrassed to listen.But looking at Jiang Yisun's high spirits, Fu Ming's smile was bright, and he felt that the wine he was drinking was extraordinarily fragrant, and the warm spring sun was extraordinarily warm.

Some people laugh and sit in spring, so it is such a description.Jin Yi stretched out his hand and picked up the fallen flower that just fell on Fu Ming's shoulder, feeling that his heart seemed softer than the tip of his hand.

When it was almost dinner time, Jin Yi sent someone to pick up Zhao Yan.Zhaoyan met Jiang Yisun as a junior and called him his uncle.

Jiang Yisun heard that Zhaoyan also called Fu Ming his uncle, and asked in a low voice, "Why does the elder brother's son also call you uncle?"

Fu Ming replied: "What? Our peers call you uncle, do you call me brother?"

Seeing Fu Ming making jokes, Jiang Yisun knew he had something to hide, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Jiang Yisun accompanied Jin Yi to see the old lady.For those who married Jinlan, Chang Shengtang paid homage to his mother. Jin Yi's parents are both dead, so it is no different to visit the old lady.

When Jiang Yisun wanted to say goodbye, it was nearly Youshi, and Jin's mansion stayed for dinner, but he declined on the grounds that he still had private matters and could not stay any longer.

Fu Ming sent him out of the mansion, and asked: "Did you go to see Yan Le?"

Jiang Yisun didn't answer immediately, and when Fu Ming looked over, he said, "I've gone, but he won't meet me."

Fu Ming was silent and said, "Don't blame him."

Jiang Yisun said "Yes", and after a few steps, his tone was heavy: "I know why he refuses to see me."

"He doesn't want to trouble you. It's just me. I occasionally meet him at some banquets. In front of outsiders, he treats us politely."

Hearing this, Jiang Yisun was silent for a moment, but a smile appeared on his face.

That night, Jiang Yisun invited several generals of similar status to go to Jianlou, ordered a table of good wine and food, and spent a lot of money to invite several qin performers and singers, including Yanle.

Yan Le heard from the boy that he was invited by the military master, so he came. When he arrived at the place, he opened the curtain and walked in. The people sitting around the table were all tall and burly, with extraordinary momentum. Among them, Jiang Yisun was the most eye-catching one.

He put away the look of astonishment that appeared on his face instantly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and greeted everyone, knowing that the master this time was Jiang Yisun, he sat down beside him and asked, "What song do you want to hear? "

Jiang Yisun asked everyone: "What do you want to hear?"

"We don't listen to music very often, and we can't even remember the titles of the songs. It doesn't matter what, just pick what you are good at."

Yan Le plucked the strings on the reel, and played the song "House of Flying Daggers" with low eyebrows. He was so golden and iron, it made everyone feel like they were on the battlefield again.

At the end of the song, Yan Yue played and plucked the strings. Jiang Yisun applauded, and the guests also applauded, but someone said: "Let's come here for entertainment, let's listen to some cheerful songs."

Seeing Yan Le's shortness of breath and red fingertips, Jiang Yisun thought that the song was exhausting, so he couldn't bear to let him play it again immediately, but Yan Le smiled and said: "Men, if you want to listen to something relaxing and cheerful, then play "Green Song" Waist." After saying that, he began to play again and again.

The guests drank and talked about the mountains amidst the brisk sound of falling beads, Jiang Yisun echoed, while looking at Yan Le who lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows from time to time.

When "Green Waist" was finished, Jiang Yisun pretended to be frivolous, put his arms around Yan Le's shoulders, and said with a smile: "You play so beautifully, I will reward you. Come, see what you want to eat on this table, I will give it to you." You pinch!"

Yan Le seemed ashamed and shy, half nestled in Jiang Yisun's arms, pointed to a dish and said, "I want to eat drunken shrimp."

Jiang Yisun said: "How can you peel the shrimp with your hands! Master will peel it for you." As he said that, he really took the shrimp and peeled it. The waiter next to him wanted to do it for him, but he refused.

"What do you know, kid? It's called pity and pity." Some guests laughed, and others echoed.

Jiang Yisun peeled the shrimp generously, Yan Le took it and put it in his mouth naturally, the two of you peeled and ate, and almost emptied half of the plate of shrimp, until Yan Le said "Master, I don't want to eat", Jiang Yisun just After that, he poured another glass of wine for him, and Yan Le drank it.

Seeing that Jiang Yisun was so casual, the others simply let go of their playfulness, embraced the people around them one after another, fed them vegetables and wine, and the banquet was very lively.

While eating and drinking, Jiang Yisun got up to wash his hands, everyone urged Yan Le to follow, and Yan Le really followed.

The two stood upstairs in a secluded place, the frivolity on Jiang Yisun's face disappeared, he looked at Yan Le and said, "A Le, I finally see you."

Yan Le sighed softly, and her tone became softer: "Brother, you joined the army. Congratulations, you are also a general."

Jiang Yisun smiled, "It's just that I met a good general."

"Is it the one from Brother Ming's family?"

"Well. I went to Jin's mansion today."

"Is Brother Ming okay?"

"I think he's better than you."

Yan Le said with a smile: "You are all well, that's fine."

"But what about you?" Jiang Yisun's tone changed sharply.

Yan Le still smiled, "Me? You've seen it too, there's nothing wrong with me."

But Jiang Yisun shook his head and said: "You are still the same as before, the three of us, obviously I seem to be the strongest, but brother Ming and you, one by one, are fierce." As he spoke, he put his hands on Yan Le's shoulders, Putting effort into it, "Ale, you, are you really not going to turn back? If you turn back, in the future, if there is me, Jiang Yisun, there will be yours."

"Now, what reason do I have for not going on?" Yan Le turned around, looked at a corner of the eaves outside the porch, and after a long silence, said again: "In the future, don't waste money anymore, save up to marry a wife , don’t you really want a family? Once you marry a wife and have children, you will have a family.”

Jiang Yisun smiled wryly when he heard the words, "How many people spend a lot of money to buy a song, how can I be wronged?"

Yan Le turned her head and looked at Jiang Yisun, "You've heard the song today, but that's all."

Jiang Yisun said: "Yes, compared to the songs you played for us in the past, it's really nothing more than that."

"After so many years, your appreciation level still hasn't improved."

"I can only hear the affection in the piece, but not the skill of playing. Ale..."

Yan Le shook her head, "Forget it, let it be like this. A Le is a person from the past, and now I can no longer play the music you want to hear. If you are willing to spend a lot of money, I will accompany you to the end. But that's all It's... that's all."

Jiang Yisun looked at Yan Le, in the dark corridor, he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he could only see the dim moonlight outside, the pear petals were flying, and Yan Le brushed away with him, like a pear flower falling away , he stretched out his hand, but he didn't hold back anything.Only the darkness of the corridor engulfed his vision inch by inch.
