Easy exchange of gold

Good days always pass quickly, Zuo Xuan and Pei Yi lived happily together for another two years, this year Zuo Xuan was 17 years old and Pei Yi was 20 years old.

Zuo Xuan's painting skills are very good, so he drew a picture for Pei Yi and gave it to Pei Yi as an adult gift.

After Zuo Xuan finished his painting, he happily took his painting to find Pei Yi, and showed it to Pei Yi in a very ostentatious manner.

"Look! How is my painting? Are you satisfied?"

"very satisfied."

"That's right! When I take the Jinshi examination next year and then take part in the imperial examination and win the laurel crown, this painting will definitely be worth a thousand gold. I'm giving it to you now, and you have earned it!"

Pei Yi loved seeing Zuo Xuan's confident appearance very much, and smiled accommodatingly, "Yes, the painting Zuo Sanlang gave me will not be exchanged for a thousand dollars."

Zuo Xuan smiled happily, "I just like your upright appearance, thank you!"

Pei Yi asked him, "What reward?"

Zuo Xuan's eyes rolled around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he stood on tiptoe, hugged Pei Yi's neck with both hands, kissed Pei Yi's cheek with a bang, and said with a smile: "Give me a kiss from my son!" ,how?"

Zuo Xuan didn't understand, but Pei Yi understood.The smile on his face faded a lot, he tore off Zuo Xuan's arm, and warned him, "Don't do this next time."

Pei Yi hasn't been indifferent to himself for a long time, Zuo Xuan didn't understand what he did wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

"Can't we kiss?"

"Friends can't kiss each other."

Zuo Xuan was pampered at home. His parents and brothers thought he was too young and had never talked to him about his feelings. Zuo Xuan was only relying on his instinct to get close to Pei Yi, so he didn't Realize that there is something wrong with "friends and relatives."But since Pei Yi said it, he accepted it.

"Sorry, not next time."

"Ah."

Although Pei Yi forgave himself, Zuo Xuan still noticed that Pei Yi's joy was not as good as before.So he racked his brains thinking about how to make Pei Yi happy, and after a while, he suddenly remembered the little trick he thought of a few days ago.

"Hey, do you remember my birthday?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"A little trick I thought of two days ago, do you want to hear it?"

"You said."

"Didn't the ancients have acrostic poems? But sometimes the acrostic poems contain too little information, so we can add our birthdays, counting the two characters of your birthday, and counting the two characters of my birthday backwards, and then Add the character of Zangtou, so that we can use it when we need to exchange secrets. And even if it falls into the hands of others, it is guessed that it is Zangtou, and there is no way to make it coherent without four characters."

Pei Yi smiled and asked, "Do we need to pass the letter so much trouble?"

"What if? No one knows what will happen in the future."

"you're right."

"Right! Let's practice from now on!"

Pei Yi had no choice but to let Zuo Xuan mess around. Every time they wanted to go out to play, Zuo Xuan would send a servant to deliver a letter next door, write the time and place in it, and then wait for Pei Yi at the place early. The two of them had a great time playing the small game.

But this year is destined not to pass so happily. Pei Yi has already grown up, and he will also leave the capital Ruian to go to the northwest border.

Zuo Xuan always knew that they would face separation, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

On the day Pei Yi left, Zuo Xuan talked to him a lot outside the city, telling Pei Yi to take good care of himself in the northwest and not get hurt like an adult, and also said that he would write to him often, telling him that as long as he Write back to yourself when you are not busy.

Zuo Xuan was very reluctant to leave Pei Yi, and the two kept tugging on Pei Yi's sleeve when they were talking.

Pei Yi also had a faint feeling of parting, but he thought more about making contributions, so he pulled Zuo Xuan's hand away cruelly.

"Okay, don't be too sad, it's not like I won't see you later."

"Then you must take care of yourself, I don't want you to see a scarred Pei Yi when you come back."

"rest assured."

"When will you be back?"

"Three years. I will come back in three years. As for whether I will go again, it depends on what will happen in the future."

"Three years..."

Pei Yi patted Zuo Xuan's head, "Three years will come soon."

"Then can you fulfill my small request?"

"what?"

Zuo Xuan stood on tiptoe and kissed Pei Yi's cheek again.

"Don't think about me too much."

When they were about to part, Pei Yi didn't want to preach to him, so he wrapped his arms around the other's waist and gave him a hug.

"Ah."

In the end, Pei Yi still rode the horse farther and farther. Zuo Xuan stood where he was, watching him gradually disappear from his field of vision.

Zuo Xuan murmured: "My lord...wouldn't miss you..."

But he stood there but did not leave for a long time.

After Pei Yi left, Zuo Xuan maintained a quiet appearance in the eyes of outsiders. He had no other entertainment except reading every day. Occasionally when he was tired from reading, he would run to the plane tree where he and Pei Yi used to go, but there was no one there. Hold him up.He had no choice but to climb up the trunk of the old tree by himself.

But when he got to the top, Zuo Xuan found that it was the same scenery, but he didn't have the joy he saw before. It was indeed different without one person.

Zuo Xuan spent a year by himself in such a boring way, and it came to the spring season once every three years.

This time Zuo Xuan was finally able to take the Jinshi examination, and as expected, Zuo Xuan entered the imperial examination.In the palace examination, although Zuo Xuan was not the number one scholar, he was also among the top three and won the title of Tanhua.

For a while, in Rui'an City, the name of Saburo from the Zuo family aroused the hearts of many girls in the boudoir.

Zuo Xuan also had a lot of friends to chat with, but Pei Yi was the only one who could chat with him.

Zuo Xuan would send a letter to Pei Yi every half a month, but Pei Yi's busy schedule exceeded Zuo Xuan's expectations.Every time he sent four or five letters, he could only receive a reply from the other party.

Although Zuo Xuan was dissatisfied, he still treasured every reply letter from Pei Yi.

This time Zuo Xuan's spring, he wrote a long letter to Pei Yi, and then began to wait eagerly for Pei Yi's reply.

After waiting for almost three months, finally a letter from Pei Yi came.

There were only a few words in the letter, but Zuo Xuan read it over and over again, with a smile all over his face.

During those few days, he started thinking about Pei Yi again, thinking about what he was doing in the northwest, wondering if he had lost weight, and then started thinking about when Pei Yi would come back, and whether he would be different when he came back.All these, the thoughts are messy, distressed and sweet.

After becoming a Jinshi, Zuo Xuan could officially become an official. He started to get busy, but he was still able to send letters to Pei Yi at the frequency of three letters in two months.However, he didn't know how busy Pei Yi was. Even at the beginning, the replies that would come once every three months at most gradually decreased. By the time Zuo Xuan had been an official for almost two years, Pei Yi's replies had already been sent. There is only one letter in a year.
