Since I met you, people are dying every day

Chapter 14 The Adventure of Taoyuan

A ray of sunlight slanted into the window and fell on the person at the desk.

His skin was originally too pale, but the warm sunlight reflected a yellowish color, which gave him a little warmth.His eyelashes are long and long, casting two curved shadows on the eyelids.A pair of phoenix eyes are clear and bright, opening and closing like a stream of light, a high nose bridge, and tight red lips, all of which show majesty.

Ye Sirui was rarely at leisure, and it was the right time in the afternoon, so he deliberately entered the study room, told everyone to leave, took a lake brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote freely on the paper. , and then lost his mind, his mind drifted, and his writing became more casual.

"...things can't be found, but thoughts can also be reached. The sun and the moon flow, and the cold and heat replace the breath. Life and death are different, and life and death have a domain." Ye Sirui murmured out the words he just wrote, his brows furrowed a little, and he was stunned After a while, he threw the pen, balled up the whole piece of paper, and directly immersed it in the brush wash, and the ink on the water surface spread out quickly.

He turned away from the servants in the study, but at this moment a servant said through the curtain: "Master, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time to send someone to pick up Young Master Kuang?"

"It's like this every day, why do you still ask me?" Ye Sirui replied angrily.

The boy felt wronged and didn't dare to say anything.In the past, before the time came, the master hurriedly prepared the carriage and went to pick up the young master in person, but today he was in the study and did not give orders, so he only spoke back and forth.

Sure enough, Ye Sirui called him in after he calmed down a bit.The boy bowed his head and entered the room to salute.Ye Sirui said: "Ask someone to prepare a carriage, and I'll go to pick up Kuang'er." The young servant thought otherwise, and respectfully agreed.Ye Sirui paused, and then said as if nothing had happened: "Ask someone to clean up the study again, put away the poems I transcribed, and just throw away the useless ones."

Ye Kuang went to Xia Shu's house to study martial arts every day. If he hadn't picked him up on time, let alone studying, he would have forgotten his uncle if he was so happy.

Ye Sirui thought to himself, he still had to choose a teacher for him as soon as possible.

The car creaked and stopped, Ye Sirui jumped down and walked towards the house familiarly.The door was ajar, and the voices in the room could be heard clearly.

There was no sound of fighting as expected, but the sound of a flute came slowly.

Ye Sirui was taken aback, walked quickly, and finally stopped at the door of the main house.Ye Kuang was lying on the couch facing the door of the house, looking up at the opposite side.He looked over, and there was a tall and thin figure standing by the window in the room, holding a bamboo flute, the sound of which was crisp and clear, it was hard for him to blow such a melodious melody out of whines.

After the song, Ye Kuang slapped his face with joy, "It sounds good, it sounds good!" Xia Shu lowered his hands and turned around.Ye Sirui walked into the room with a calm smile, "Brother Tian Shu is a wonderful song, but I didn't realize that my brother still has the talent of Zhou Lang and Gu Qu."

Xia Shu didn't show any politeness to him, and looked straight at him with a pair of black eyes that were spotless.

Ye Sirui was uncomfortable and a little bit ashamed, cupped his hands, "I'm bothering Brother Tianshu, Kuang'er, why don't you come to say goodbye to Uncle Shi?"

Ye Kuang quickly got up from the couch, called himself a disciple, and bid farewell to Xia Shu.Only then did Ye Sirui realize his slip of the tongue.Xia Shu didn't say much, but simply ordered: "Practicing martial arts is exhausting, don't be too tired." Ye Kuang's fair face flashed with joy, and he agreed repeatedly.

After getting into the carriage, Ye Sirui asked about what he had just seen.Ye Kuang's watery eyes were filled with admiration and admiration, "After practicing for a while today, the master said that I had made great progress, and told me to rest for a while. I said I was bored lying down, so the master played the flute to relieve my boredom... Master You play the flute really well!"

Ye Sirui listened with a smile, a little absent-minded.He really cared about Xia Shu's identity. Whether it was his amazing lightness kung fu or his ability to detoxify Ye Kuang easily, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people. They killed their uncles and nephews several times, so it should be harmless.But today I heard him play the music, the sentimental meaning in the music is definitely not false.With his keen hearing, he could naturally see that he was outside the door, but he didn't make a sound to point it out.Even though this person's identity is unknown, he can be regarded as a gentleman in his actions, but he has groundless suspicions and his tolerance is too small.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Ye Sirui ordered someone to fetch a brocade box from the warehouse.Curious, Ye Kuang leaned over to watch. Ye Sirui carefully opened the box, which contained a jade flute wrapped in silk.The flute is made of mutton fat jade, polished brightly, crystal clear and white, the seed material is fine and shiny, it is famous and expensive at first glance.

Ye Kuang liked it when he saw it, and reached out to take it, but Ye Sirui quickly stopped him, "I can't play with it." He wrapped the jade flute again, brushed the dust off the box, and ordered the servant to send it to Xia Shu's residence.

Although Ye Kuang was reluctant, he heard that it was given to Xia Shu, so he didn't complain, but was just curious: "Why did you give the flute to Master?"

Ye Sirui touched his head tenderly, "You have already become a teacher, and I haven't sent Shu Xiu to someone yet."

"Then why do you have to send a flute? Wouldn't it be better to send a sword?" Ye Kuang continued to ask.

Ye Sirui patiently explained: "It's more appropriate for you to learn martial arts from a teacher, but your master must have a weapon he is familiar with, so we may not be so happy when we pick it up. I don't know much about swords. Sending a flashy sword, wouldn’t it be ridiculous? I’m worried, but today I saw your master is good at playing the flute, so I gave you a jade flute, which has a better meaning, and it couldn’t be more elegant.”

Ye Kuang was persuaded, nodded quickly, and meticulously ordered the boys who were going to give gifts, "You must be careful, don't bump it, and deliver it to my master intact." The boys agreed.Seeing that he looked like an adult, Ye Sirui couldn't help laughing, then thought about it, and said with a straight face: "Do the math, you go to learn martial arts, have you not studied for a few days?"

Ye Kuang trembled in fright, and said aggrievedly: "I don't have a husband..."

"Don't study without a husband? I can't tell you?" Ye Sirui said coldly, the servants were fine, but silently lowered their heads and pretended they didn't hear anything.Ye Kuang had never seen Ye Sirui talking to him like this, and his eye circles turned red. "Don't you really want to play with guns and sticks for the rest of your life?!"

"I didn't!" Ye Kuang blurted out, he didn't dare to refute, but continued to mutter with red eyes: "But Uncle Rui is so busy..."

Ye Sirui had just made up his mind to discipline him strictly, but at first hearing it, his heart softened again.Forget it, even if Kuang'er is a boy, he is only seven or eight years old, and he lives with him, he doesn't pay much attention, and he doesn't seek fame and wealth.Come to think of it, even if he is a dude all his life, it's fine if he doesn't cause a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Ye Sirui patted his head, "It's Uncle Rui's fault, Uncle Rui must spend more time with you."

Ye Kuang lowered his head, and his eye circles became redder.

Ye Sirui was a little distressed and regretful, and slowly stroked his back, "You are my only relative, how can I not love you? Just because you are a boy, I hope you will read more books and understand some things, You won’t be deceived by others. It used to be deserted, but now the requirements are naturally stricter. Well, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to read the book, you just need to know how to read and write now.”

He intentionally stabbed him with the last sentence, Ye Kuang really ignored the grievance and suddenly raised his head, straightened his chest and said loudly: "Uncle Rui, I want to study!"

Ye Sirui was very satisfied, and patted him on the shoulder, "This is my boy." His mind was spinning quickly, and he just said slowly: "Your master has saved your life, and he has real skills Yes, you have to respect him well. It is good to learn some kung fu to strengthen your body, but you must not show off your fists."

"Kuang'er has been taught."

Ye Sirui immediately became concerned about finding a husband for Ye Kuang.Ordinarily, the magistrate's teacher is also a noble job, but Dong'an County is not a big county, and there are many scholars, but those who have some skills have gone to the capital to try their luck, and they hit the wall frequently.As for the self-recommended ones, Ye Sirui either thinks that he is ignorant, or he is worried that he is greedy for wealth and has no good intentions.

The husband couldn't find it, so Ye Sirui had to teach Ye Kuang to read by himself.He thought about it, pointed to "The Great Learning", and asked Ye Kuang to read every sentence by heart, and then he would explain it to him.

Ye Sirui's heart hung on the inner curtain, and he didn't dare to relax in the affairs of the yamen, so he was very tired for a while.

Although Ye Kuang is young, he also knows how to love others.One day when Ye Sirui was watching him practicing calligraphy, he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Master said that there is a Zhuangzi in the south of the city whose peach blossoms are blooming very well. Uncle Rui, can we go and have a look?"

Ye Sirui said: "How many months has it been? The peach blossoms are still in full bloom?"

"Yes." Ye Kuang replied, "It's just on the mountain. 'The world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms on the mountain begin to bloom', right?".

Ye Sirui smiled and said, "Then I must agree."

On the day of Xiumu, Ye Sirui really prepared the carriage, asked his servants to change Ye Kuang into new clothes, and carried him into the carriage.

The carriage walked for a while, and Ye Sirui suddenly stopped.

"My lord? What's the matter?" asked the coachman.Ye Kuang, who was sitting by the side, twisted his body uneasily.

Ye Sirui lifted the curtain on the car window, "Where is Brother Tianshu going?"

Just passing by Xia Shu's house, Xia Shu was standing at the gate, dressed in black clothes, ready to go out. "Outing." He answered briefly.

"Do you need to borrow a horse?" Ye Sirui raised his voice and asked.

Xia Shu seemed to be about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said, "Thank you."

This time Ye Sirui and Ye Kuang didn't bring anyone with them when they went out, they only took a carriage, Ye Sirui ordered the servants to go to the county government to drive a horse for Xia Shu.Xia Shu thanked her and left.

Ye Kuang dragged him and asked, "Why don't you ask Master to go to Taozhuang together?"

Ye Sirui nodded his head, "Why don't you think that it's rare for your master to go out, maybe he has something important to do? You ask for an invitation, but he is not good at words. If you refuse for a long time, it will make you sad again, so I will give him more money." How much trouble?"

Ye Kuang stuck out his tongue and remained silent.

But Ye Sirui thought in his heart, Kuang'er is still innocent, and it's too easy to deceive.
