bright sheath

The sound of bamboo leaves rustled, the birds on the eaves, it was late spring, the weather was suitable, Ling Yanchi hummed a ditty and was about to go back to her room to pack her things, when she saw Chen Yunyu plastering her books through the window, she turned around as soon as she turned her footsteps Turning around, he walked to his door and knocked twice, and he went in without waiting for a reply, flipped through the books he had written, and said, "You don't mean to take all this pile of things away, do you?" ?” There are ten or twenty books here.

Chen Yunyu didn't care at all, "Is it possible, I will go by horse-drawn carriage."

"Hey~ I said my son, do you think that you go to the capital to cultivate your sentiments? The speed of the carriage is worrying, and there are many showers in the approaching summer. If we are delayed a few times on the road, the emperor's birthday will have passed by the time we arrive in the capital. , come to see me?"

Chen Yunyu thought it made some sense when she heard it, and finally found a few books after picking and picking. Ling Yanchi's eyelids twitched suddenly when she saw a very familiar book.

Chen Yunyu was still tidying up with her head down, and said, "Then I'll take these three military books with me to the head office, they're not heavy, and a few changes of clothes will be enough later."

Ling Yanchi was speechless for a while, just staring at the notebook, Chen Yunyu, who did not wait for a reply, cast a glance at him, saw that there was something strange in his eyes, took out the notebook, shook it in his hand and said: "Do you want to see it?" ? A thing that can be called a military book.”

He shook his head, wandered out again, and waved at him: "It's a beautiful spring day, who wants to see something like that...it's really disappointing."

At dawn on the second day, the two led their horses towards the city gate, Chen Nian followed behind in a rare silence, Cui Yan also held Wang Ning's face with a worried face, the little guy was quite good at assessing the situation, and just opened his eyes in ignorance Big eyes, eyeballs rolling around.

Chen Yunyu really didn't like the dead atmosphere, so she said: "If you really can't laugh, go back first, we will come back after the left and right things are over."

"I think the lord got up very early this morning." Chen Nian spat out these words.

Chen Yunyu glanced back in the direction of the palace, and said, "You watch him more in the mansion, and hide all the messy wine."

"Then...won't the prince say goodbye to the prince?" He hesitated.

"Just tell him that I don't blame him, and he will naturally understand. He was unhappy when I insisted on going to Beijing, so why bother to make him unhappy now." He stretched out his hand, and Chen Nian handed him the burdens of the two of them. He stabilized his figure and said lightly: "Go back, if there is anything in the house, write to me. Girl Cuiyan, Ning Zhi will trouble you."

Cuiyan nodded.

It didn't take long for the two of them to lead the horse out of the city. It is forbidden to ride horses quickly in the city, so the two of them led the horse and walked slowly. Ling Yanchi was a little silent today and didn't say a word all the way. Chen Yunyu gave him a few sideways glances. Noticing that his eyes were a little gray, he asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Ling Yanchi scratched his head, and said happily: "When I think of going to the Great Chen Jingshi, I'm so excited that I can't sleep..."

Chen Yunyu tilted her head to look at him, and said to him with a clear expression: "You have a little habit, do you know?"

Ling Yanchi looked at him in surprise, and then Chen Yunyu turned her head back and said calmly: "You scratch your head when you want to avoid something or lie."

"..." Ling Yanchi was stunned, touched his face and said, "Am I like this?"

"So tell me the truth, what were you thinking last night?" Chen Yunyu squinted at him, with a look of "if you keep talking nonsense, I won't punish you".

Ling Yanchi wanted to scratch his head again, when he thought of the topic just now, he stretched out his fingers to pick at his face, and soon his face turned red, suddenly he had an idea, and said worriedly: "I don't have any medicine, I don't know if you are on the way." What can I do if I get sick, this is prepared in Daxia."

Chen Yunyu blinked quickly a few times, and all these subtle movements fell into Ling Yanchi's eyes - he guessed right, this person knew there was something wrong with the medicine.

When he found the medicine bottle last night, he found that it was empty. At this moment, he realized that something was wrong. He went out with a whole bottle of medicine. Except for a few pills that were knocked over when the two met for the first time, they were basically untouched.And now Chen Yunyu's sudden silence is enough to explain the problem. After all, there is no evidence more powerful than sudden silence.

He was suddenly very touched, and he was also puzzled by his obvious feeling, because if Chen Yunyu asked him about this matter, he really didn't know how to answer...

What can I say, what can I say?

Chen Yunyu's expression returned to normal, and he took out a jar of medicine from his bag and said, "I accidentally knocked over your medicine, and I asked the old doctor to make it up for you again."

That's right, it's in a can.

Ling Yanchi's twisted and twisted thoughts were swept away in an instant, he unscrewed the lid and smelled it dumbfoundingly, the bitter taste gushed out, he quickly covered it, held it far away, wrinkled his face and said in pain: " Tell me the truth, is this doctor envious of my appearance so much that he can come up with such a painful thing to harm me!"

Chen Yunyu sneered: "Shut up, you can't eat you to death."

Ling Yanchi ignored him, just opened his bag and stuffed it back.

From Liaodong to the capital, the mountains are high and the water is far away, the road is difficult and difficult, and the emperor's birthday is only half a month away, so the two people walk mostly on small roads, along the way, on both sides are weeds that have not had time to grow high, mixed with small flowers of various colors , full of wildness, there are many weeping willows along this road, April is when catkins bloom, bit by bit, they are all over the two people, forcing Ling Yanchi to finally put on the mask.

Chen Yunyu saw the unique shape of the face, couldn't help touching it, and then retracted her hand in shock and said: "If this is night, I definitely don't know that you are wearing a mask!"

Ling Yanchi rolled his eyes and looked proud, and said: "I don't know, the tribute from a foreign land is the only one in the world, not stuffy but thin, the point is that these random things won't get into my nose. "

Chen Yunyu nodded bluntly, "Still showing off!"

"My lord, you have changed, and you actually use such words!"

"I'm sorry, those who are close to ink are black."

The two made jokes all the way to the capital before May [-]th. It was noon at this time, and it was already hot. Naturally, the prosperity of the capital could not be compared with this remote place on the border of Liaodong. The clothes of the passers-by on the road were different. , are all brocade silk, bright colors, the crowds are bustling, the two walk through the road, the road here is spacious, all kinds of shops emerge in endlessly on both sides of the road, umbrella shop, folding fan shop, rouge shop, jewelry shop, sugar man shop, cloth shop, Pawnshops, Danqing shops, teahouses, restaurants... From time to time, there will be sedan chairs passing through the middle of the road, and the wind blows a corner of the heavy curtain, which is a young lady.

Ling Yanchi originally glanced casually, but this young lady suddenly opened the curtain, staring at Chen Yunyu next to her with her almond eyes.

"Stop the car!" The young lady's voice was also crisp and sweet.

As soon as she picked up her skirt and moved her lotus steps slightly, she came towards them. Ling Yanchi raised her arms and squeezed Chen Yunyu, who was studying a pair of calligraphy and painting, and whispered: "Come and see, is this yours?" A little friend recognized you..."

"What?" Chen Yunyu looked back in a daze.

Ling Yanchi covered her mouth and just laughed.

"You're Brother Yu, right?" She walked up to the two of them, looking up at them slightly with her hands behind her back.

Judging by her appearance and body shape, this girl should be less than [-] years old. She is at a young age, with almond eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, small nose, cherry mouth, and a round face, based on the agility between girls and women. .

Chen Yunyu still didn't recognize the hero he was, she looked puzzled, but the girl grabbed his wrist excitedly as if seeing a relative, "I'm Wenxuan, have you forgotten?"

Ling Yanchi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were filled with interest, did he really know what to say?

Almost at the same time as he thought about it, Chen Yunyu's back felt a chill, he broke free from her quickly, pulled Ling Yanchi and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Girl, you mistaken me!"

The girl stomped her feet angrily, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn, she pointed in the direction of the two and shouted quickly: "Come on! Catch up to those two!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of people suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, all of them showed their faces, and chased in Chen Yunyu's direction.

"Hey! Be careful, he is my elder cousin!" The little girl jumped up and confessed, almost forgetting to explain the most important point.

Chen Yunyu came to the capital several times when she was a child, and was deeply impressed by the prosperity here, so she could feel the roads very clearly, and soon got rid of a group of pursuers, and leaned against the wall of the alley to breathe.It was bustling with people outside, it seemed to be isolated from the world, like a pure land, Ling Yanchi was smiling in front of his eyes, slightly sweating, Chen Yunyu suddenly felt very close to him...

Ling Yanchi supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath while laughing, bent over as if out of breath, blushed slightly and said: "Don't say you don't know her, that's not the reaction of not knowing her. "

"To be honest, I advise you to go around her the next time you see her... She is the eldest daughter of the eldest princess, the Royal Princess Qinghe. Don't look at her quiet and elegant title, but it's really because her nature is too stubborn. The Eldest Princess asked the Holy Majesty to confer on her..."

Ling Yanchi smiled narrowly, "I think she seems to like you..."

"Stop, stop, please don't, you will cause me to have nightmares at night!" Chen Yunyu stretched out her hand to him and rejected the speculation righteously, saying indignantly, "You don't know how naughty she was when she was young, she liked Digging out bird nests, fighting grasshoppers, and catching earthworms. If we hadn’t tried our best to dissuade her and wanted to catch hedgehogs, she would still have to throw away weapons, mess up the arsenal, and let me take the blame! The teacher came to her and she would still Life and death don't admit it, pretending to be cute and pitiful, by the way, I heard from my father that she has a new hobby now, visiting brothels..."

"...Didn't your father tell you why she went to the brothel?" I don't know why, but it wasn't Ling Yanchi who wanted to laugh when he heard him keep scolding the little princess, because he looked deeply hurt by it and avoided it like a snake and a scorpion The appearance is really lively and cute.

"She said that the woman in the brothel twisted her waist and smiled charmingly. She loved it so much, so she had to go and see it every few days. If she didn't go, she would feel itchy..."

Ling Yanchi laughed and trembled, Chen Yunyu realized that his hand was still on Ling Yanchi's wrist, and hurriedly withdrew it, her face seemed to turn redder, Ling Yanchi rubbed her wrist indifferently.

"Cousin! I finally found you," a petite girl with her hands on her hips appeared at the end of the alley, whoever she was, she smiled innocently and said, "Cousin, can you do it... ...I haven't seen you for so many years, how come you haven't become smarter, it's still the same place, hehe, did it hurt when you fell from the top?"

Chen Yunyu raised his forehead, and said helplessly: "Can we not mention this matter, I didn't report you, why do you have the nerve to talk about it every day? Let me tell you first, if you continue to play tricks on me, I will not go with you to the princess mansion ..."

"I'm trying to make it up to you~ But you ran away as soon as you saw me, and it made me sad..." She turned sideways and lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

"Don't pretend, this trick won't work for me, come here and introduce someone to you." Chen Yunyu waved at her.

Sure enough, the little girl ran a few steps forward, stared at Ling Yanchi and said, "Is that you?"

Ling Yanchi only held back his laughter and coughed and did not speak, Chen Yunyu said: "His name is Ling Yanchi, he is my friend."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Qi Wenxuan, and I'm the princess here. Don't offend me~ Be careful, I'll beat you." After she finished speaking, she waved her little fist.

Ling Yanchi smiled faintly, and said: "It's easy, it's easy, if the princess wants to visit the brothel next time, you can call me, and I'll be your bodyguard."

Qi Wenxuan's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"really."

The two of them reached a united front in an instant, making Chen Yunyu feel as if he had mistakenly made a bad friend, and said coldly from the side: "Could it be that you treat me as a dead person?"

"Yoyo~ Cousin is angry, go, come with me to the princess mansion, my mother was still talking about you a few days ago."

The author has something to say:

I feel it in my heart, but I am also puzzled.

It's really the sweetest thing I can think of.
