It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Facts have proved that the result of saying that you only taste a little bit is to drink like a jade mountain in the end.

And the consequence of getting drunk was that the two of Taixue were collectively late the next morning.

The morning chanting had already started for a quarter of an hour before Shen Jinghe and Shen Zhuoxuan moved to their seats with their heads lowered in shame.Fortunately, it was Fang Zi Ai Fang Taichang who led the recitation today, and he just turned a blind eye to these two students he loved very much, and let them go gently.

Fang Taichang passed that level easily, but this level of the person next to him...

Shen Jinghe quietly turned his eyes away and looked at Liang Yan, who was sternly on his side, and didn't even look at him, so he was a little at a loss.After thinking for a while, he still lightly touched him with his elbow, and called out tentatively, "Liang Yan?"

Liang Yan wanted to leave him alone for a while longer, but after being called out so pitifully by him, he couldn't help but look sideways at him, with his lips pursed into a straight line.

Slightly disheveled temple hair, obviously unrested complexion, and a faint smell of alcohol wafting from his body...

A look of annoyance flashed across Liang Yan's eyes. He knew that he was too young to drink, and the winter was cold and prone to wind and cold. Why didn't he know how to cherish his body?

"Did you go to drink?" His voice was a little cold.

"Hmm..." Under the pressure of Liang Yanjian's sharp eyes, Shen Jinghe somehow felt a little weak.After thinking about it, he decided to betray Shen Zhuoxuan, the culprit, "Fifth Brother dragged me to drink it!"

The thorny gaze finally shifted away.Shen Zhuoxuan still sat and listened to Fang Taichang's lecture without realizing it, but in the next second, he suddenly shivered.

Winter is indeed a lot colder...

As Shen Zhuoxuan thought about it, he couldn't help but tighten his sleeves.

Liang Yan looked at Shen Jinghe with some headaches, and wanted to teach him a lesson by telling him a lesson, but looking at his cautious glance, he couldn't bear to say a serious word.

"You want to drink, don't you?" After thinking for a while, Liang Yan stared at him with an inexplicable expression, "Okay, come to my house after school, and I'll have a drink with you."

Shen Jinghe was taken aback for a moment - it seemed that it was different from what he had imagined?

……

The whole day's class passed in such a muddle in his hard thinking and meditation. It was not until he stood outside the majestic vermilion gate and looked up at the flamboyant plaque on it that Shen Jinghe really realized that he really followed Liang Yan back. The general's mansion.

Xiao Ning's words at that time came to his ears by accident.

"You took me back to the mansion to meet your father Lingtang, won't the development be too fast?"

Bah, bah, bah, where did this mess come from?

Shen Jinghe almost didn't make himself half dead with anger, but secretly hated that unscrupulous genius doctor for making himself extremely strange.What's more, Liang Yan's parents passed away a few years ago, and now he is the only one left in this huge general's mansion.

Liang Yanzheng ordered Cheng Mo to park the carriage in the open space in the back alley, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Jinghe was still sulking with himself, but he didn't know what to think of, and his mood suddenly sank down.He couldn't help being a little amused, and took him to the yard with one arm on his back.

"Uncle Zhang, please display the two jars of wine in my wine cellar on the left side of the entrance door."

The old housekeeper responded, and immediately ordered his servants to do so.After a while, the two small altars saw that some years old wine was presented on the stone table in the courtyard, and Shen Jinghe and Liang Yan were also seated opposite each other on both sides.

Liang Yanxin took the altar in front of him, and patted the Kaifeng mud casually, a mellow and rich aroma of wine quickly permeated the air.Shen Jinghe sniffed it, and had to admit that it was indeed a rare good wine.

only……

He wrinkled his nose wrinkled by the pungent smell of wine, and frowned a little embarrassedly as he looked at the obviously extremely strong brown-yellow wine syrup.

"Why, don't you want to drink to your heart's content?" Liang Yan looked at his slightly retreating appearance, and raised one corner of his lips, "This is a burning knife that is abundant in the northern border, drink it down, and you will come tomorrow even better than today Night."

Shen Jinghe raised his eyes and glanced at him, only then did he realize that Liang Yan's drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to take the opportunity to make him remember well.However, being so provoked by him, the arrogance in my heart suddenly rose up.

He deliberately raised his eyebrows at Liang Yan in a provocative manner, picked up the wine cup and was about to lean it to his mouth, "Since Little General Liang is so kind, I can't refuse anymore."

When Liang Yan saw that he was seriously about to drink, his pupils shrank, and before the cup touched his lips, he grabbed his wrist, gritted his teeth, and said, "Have you thought about it? My general's mansion is so dilapidated that even the guest room is empty." There’s no room to tidy up. If you’re really drunk, you’ll have to make do with me all night.”

Shen Jinghe's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe that Liang Yan could open his eyes and talk nonsense without frowning.He also laughed angrily, "Do I look so easy to deceive?"

Liang Yan remained silent, but after a while he waved his hand to call the butler, "Uncle Zhang, tell him, is what I said true?"

"This, this..." The poor old housekeeper kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead between the same sharp gazes of the two of them.He wanted to obey his little master, but he couldn't get over the condemnation of his conscience. His old face was wrinkled like a bitter melon, and he begged for mercy to the guest who seemed to be more talkative.

Shen Jinghe struggled for his arm, but failed to break free from Liang Yan's shackles, so he could only squint at him, "Don't embarrass the old man, let me tell you, even if there is only one room today, I still have to drink!"

As he spoke, he took advantage of the moment when Liang Yan was in a daze, and suddenly pulled out his hand, and was about to forcefully and gracefully raise his head to drink the brew in the cup.Liang Yan's reaction was faster than he expected, and he snatched the wine cup with his hands, and put the cup heavily on the table angrily.

"Uncle Zhang, please take away these wine jars and exchange them for a bowl of hangover soup!"

Shen Jinghe's wine cup was taken away, but he didn't react much, he just shrugged helplessly, and when he turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Liang Yan keenly caught the smile on his lips, squinted his eyes, and quickly reacted in the next second.He leaned close to Shen Jinghe, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you're provoking me on purpose, huh?"

"Why can't I seem to understand what General Liang is talking about?" Shen Jinghe looked back in surprise, with a righteous look on his face.

Liang Yan lowered his eyes to look at him deeply, and Shen Jinghe looked back without hesitation.After a while, Liang Yan turned his eyes away as if discouraged, "You little bastard, you just rely on me..."

The words at the end of the sentence seemed to be swallowed by him, making it difficult for people to hear clearly.

Shen Jinghe looked at the way he turned his head sullenly, and finally felt a trace of guilt in his conscience.He knew that Liang Yan was worried about him, so he deliberately used this trick to make him remember, but he was still relieved by himself.

Reaching out and gently tugging at Liang Yan's sleeve, he softened his tone a bit, "... Liang Yan? I just got together with my fourth sister and fifth brother yesterday, so I just had a few more drinks for fun."

How could Liang Yan be willing to really get angry with him.Sighing, he turned his head and looked at his face with concern, "Drinking so much wine, do you have a headache today?"

"Fortunately, just a little." Shen Jinghe saw that he was finally willing to turn his head, and there was a bright smile in his eyes.

There was a light snowfall last night, and the courtyard was soft and white as far as the eye could see.Liang Yan looked at Shen Jinghe's half face huddled in the white fox fur cloak, his eyes obediently looking at him, and felt that his heart had softened a lot.

Resigned to his fate, he sat down in front of Shen Jinghe, put one hand on the acupuncture point between his forehead, and kneaded it with moderate strength, with a serious and focused expression on the reaction of his subordinates.

Shen Jinghe had blown some wind after drinking, and his head was more or less drowsy, but he half-closed his eyes so comfortably that he was gently pressed by his warm and dry fingers.Seeing him sitting quietly, Liang Yan couldn't help but lower his tone, "Don't drink so much in the future, you know? You don't drink well, and you will inevitably feel bad when you wake up the next day."

"Isn't the amount of alcohol to be practiced by drinking more..." Shen Jinghe didn't open his eyes, and muttered in his mouth.

Liang Yan was angry and funny at the same time, "Okay, next time you want to practice drinking, my general's mansion will open the door for you at any time. I, Liang Yan, will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, and I will never stop getting drunk with you!"

Only then did Shen Jinghe open his eyes with a smile, and purposely leaned forward and teased: "The beauty is under the drunken lamp, and there are waves flowing left and right. Wangsun is drunk on the bed, sleeping upside down."

He raised his chin again, and his eyes looked at Liang Yan with a half-rogue and seven-point smile.

"...Jun Jin persuaded me to get drunk, how about persuading me to get drunk?"

He originally wanted to see Liang Yan scold him with a smile, or raise his eyebrows to retaliate, so that the two of them could laugh and continue the conversation just now.

However, Liang Yan did nothing.

He just sat stiffly on the spot with his back tensed, those jet-black pupils that seemed to be able to suck people into a vortex stared at him for a moment, and the eyes were full of dark and complicated emotions.

With such an undisguised deep gaze, Shen Jinghe only felt that the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and even his breathing became a little short for some reason.

Liang Yan picked up a lock of black hair that fell on the side of his face, and rubbed it in his palm to play with it.Shen Jinghe froze on the spot with a stiff body, unable to move his limbs, he could only watch helplessly as he lowered his body slightly, the warm breath seemed to touch his face.

"What do you mean? Naturally..."

"General, hangover soup is here!"

Following the old housekeeper's respectful call as he stepped into the courtyard door, the two retreated quickly as if they had just woken up from a dream, and turned their faces away as if they were hiding something.

Liang Yan squeezed his knuckles hard, with annoyance and disbelief on his face.He closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice became hoarse, "...just put it on the table."

Shen Jinghe stared blankly at the old butler serving the hangover soup, then bowed his hands respectfully and withdrew.His chest was still heaving up and down, as if he wanted to replenish all the air he forgot to breathe when he was too nervous just now.

"Drink quickly." Liang Yan looked sideways at the rime under the eaves, and took a deep breath, "After drinking, I can take you around the General's Mansion."

Shen Jinghe responded sullenly, picked up the hangover soup and brought it to his lips, but the hand holding the rim of the bowl trembled slightly.

No, it's too wrong...

He closed his eyes tightly, covering the moment of bewilderment that flashed in between.

Why, didn't I think about pushing him away?

On the way of strolling around the general's mansion, the two of them were silent in tacit understanding at first, until Liang Yan took the initiative to speak up and introduced interesting stories about Kazuki's origin to him, and the unbearable atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Shen Jinghe also suppressed the confusion deeply in his heart, smiled again on his face, and followed Liang Yan with a natural attitude, listening to him talk one by one with a calm and magnetic voice.

The General's Mansion is not as solemn and dignified as it looks from the outside. Although the lines of the halls in the mansion are mostly cold and straightforward, the occasional interspersed with trees and nine-curved corridors also make the mansion look a bit graceful.

"Father added these specially for mother later." Seeing Shen Jinghe caressing the exquisitely carved vermilion pillars curiously, Liang Yan said softly, "Mother always dislikes the cold and impersonal mansion in the mansion, father So I tried every means to find some exquisite decorations to make her happy."

Shen Jinghe was silent for a moment, "My father thinks that Lingtang is also deeply affectionate and very affectionate."

Liang Yan chuckled, and there was an inexplicable self-mockery in his expression.

"Yeah, they are indeed very affectionate..." He stretched out his hand and pointed to a small courtyard with closed doors in the distance, "When I heard the sad news that my father died in the battle, my mother committed suicide by drinking poison in her room that night. .”

There was no superfluous emotion in his distant eyes, but his voice fell into a very light memory, "That year, I was just 15 years old."

Shen Jinghe was shaken all over, he raised his head to look at Liang Yan, who was expressionless, and felt pain in his heart.

The sad news of his father's death in battle was a bolt from the blue, but his mother resolutely chose to go to Huangquan together, leaving a lonely boy in the world.How cruel and unacceptable is it for a 15-year-old child to lose his parents overnight?

However, Liang Yan did not completely collapse as ordinary people imagined. Instead, he gritted his teeth and followed his father's path. He survived all winds, frosts, rains and snows, and used his own flesh and blood to protect the northern border for three years. .

He reached out to caress Liang Yan's forearm, hoping to bring him some silent comfort.

Looking down to see the pain in his eyes, Liang Yan gently opened the corner of his mouth, "I'm fine, and I don't blame my mother."

He took one last look at the courtyard half covered by snow, "Maybe, she just loves my father too much."

"But she must also love you." Shen Jinghe took a step forward and looked into his eyes seriously, "Have I ever told you about my mother? When she first met Royal Father, because His liking desperately wants to get closer. After he has me, he is worried that he won't be able to protect me, so he refuses to reveal my true background no matter what."

"Although she thinks this is the only way to protect me, she has always been very guilty of me, thinking that because of her selfishness, I have suffered a lot from childhood that I shouldn't have suffered." He paused and continued, "So Her last wish before she left was for me to return to my biological father and regain my identity."

Shen Jinghe exhaled, and looked sideways at the small quiet courtyard in the distance, "However, she doesn't know that I have never been interested in the name of the so-called prince from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, in the deep palace cage Struggling to survive just makes me tired every day."

Liang Yan caressed his hair silently, Shen Jinghe turned his head to look at him, showing a very shallow smile, "Look, if you say that my mother loves me, but her love forces me to choose A very difficult and dangerous road. But can you say that she doesn’t love me? She took good care of me in the past ten years, and she would rather endure hardships than make me live as comfortably as possible. , I just feel very moved.”

The wind carried a few strands of snow fluttering between the sky and the earth, and the corridor was an inch away, but it blocked the chill in all directions.

"So..." He took a step forward, looking straight at Liang Yan's contemplative face, "Our mothers are all the same. They may have given us the wrong direction or ignored us for various reasons. Feelings, but I know, they must love us."

"Liang Yan, your mother loves your father very much, but she also loves you." Shen Jinghe said softly, the heavy determination in his eyes made Liang Yan's eyes twitch for no reason.

"En." He was silent for a moment, gently took Shen Jinghe's hand, and when he raised his eyes again, there was pure gentleness in his eyes, "It seems that a little snow has started to fall in the sky, the road is difficult, I will hold you. "

"Ah? Oh..." Shen Jinghe responded in a daze, lowering his inexplicably hot face.

The sound of falling snow made the world even quieter. He lowered his head, looking at the footprints left by Liang Yan with every step he was stepping on in front of him, feeling a strange sense of tranquility in his heart.

Liang Yan's palm was very warm, and his steps were very slow. Although it was a narrow road that was not long, he seemed to keep walking until the end of the years.

As if a lifetime had passed, Liang Yan's footsteps suddenly stopped.Shen Jinghe couldn't stop, his forehead almost hit his back.

He quickly let go of his hand, took a step back, and looked up at the small garden in front of him that was somewhat withered due to the winter.

This garden has a lot of vegetation planted in a patchwork manner, and it is a cold year, only the flying frost and the first snow swirl and fall on the branches.However, it is not difficult to imagine that when everything recovers in spring and summer, what kind of flourishing and brilliant colors will bloom among the branches.

"Follow me quickly." Liang Yan turned his head and urged him with a smile, and after Shen Jinghe followed, he skillfully walked through the flowers and trees.After bypassing the high and low slanting branches, he reached out and pushed aside a group of half-dried grass vines, revealing a hidden path in between.

"This is?" Shen Jinghe's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect that there was another world hidden in this small garden.

Liang Yan led him carefully across the path, and there was a small open space at the other end of the path.There is an old swing in the open space, next to the swing is an iron frame with all kinds of wooden weapons hanging, and there are several heavy copper boxes beside it.

Brushing away the falling snow on the swing, Liang Yan pulled him to sit on the swing.He caressed the hard wooden frame full of nostalgia, looked down at Shen Jinghe and chuckled, "This can be regarded as...my secret world when I was a child? Every time I got angry with my father, I always I hid in this place, and waited until they couldn’t find me and screamed anxiously, then I sneaked out from the path. Now if my father wants to take care of me, my mother will definitely stop him.”

Shen Jinghe didn't expect that the little general who was always as calm as a mountain in front of him would be so mischievous and rascal, so he couldn't help but smile aloud.

"Don't think I'll just hide from my father here." Liang Yan looked at Shen Jinghe with a smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, "Did you see the weapon rack over there? Thinking about every move and style here, this practice often takes most of the day."

Shen Jinghe looked around this small world, and in a daze, he seemed to see Liang Yan, who was still a child, practicing martial arts here, and he seemed to see him hiding among the branches and leaves, quietly looking at the house. Do people feel uneasy when they find this place?

"What's in those boxes over there?" He asked curiously.

Hearing the sound, Liang Yan led him to squat down in front of the copper box.He fiddled with it a couple of times, and the lid of the copper box popped open.

There was not a lot of smoke and dust splashed, and the owner of this copper box should also come to take care of it frequently.

Shen Jinghe turned his head to look inside, but couldn't help being taken aback.

——He originally thought that there were some strange and curiosities inside, but all he could see were some half-worn toys and sundries, ordinary and nothing special.

Liang Yan carefully picked up a grasshopper, held it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Shen Jinghe, raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "This is the first grasshopper I learned to weave with the boy. Don't look at the crooked half of it." At that time, my baby was broken, and others would not even touch me."

Shen Jinghe also stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the crooked head of the grasshopper. The rough blades of grass ran across his fingertips, and a feeling that he didn't know how to describe suddenly surged in his heart.

"Isn't it cute?" Liang Yan looked at Shen Jinghe and Grasshopper's first contact with Shen Youshen, and asked amusedly.

"En." Shen Jinghe replied softly.

"There are still many such old objects." Liang Yan continued to rummage through the copper box, explaining one by one to Shen Jinghe, "This is the earliest seal I carved, and I was not careful at the time. I made a cut on my finger, which almost didn't hurt my mother. This is my favorite paper-cut in the Spring Festival that year. This is the clay figurine from the second alley on the left. And this, this is the first time I have written seriously. The published article..."

Shen Jinghe stared at him blankly, his eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.He only felt that his heart was floating in a pool of softly rippling warm water, sour and astringent from the soak.

He knew what Liang Yan was doing - he was using an extremely clumsy and sincere way to spread out his past years little by little, flattened out, warmed by the sun, and carefully held him in front of him.

The years when they had no intersection before, the life that he had never participated in before, now he looks at him with a pair of gentle smiling eyes, welcomes himself into it with his own hands, and shares his childish past without reservation.

"Liang Yan." He called hoarsely.

Panic intertwined with joy made his heart swell, he didn't know why he wanted to call his name all of a sudden, he only knew that he wanted to do this, so he opened his mouth logically.

Liang Yan was taken aback by his call, turned his head to look at him for a moment, then seemed to wake up suddenly, and lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry...I've babbled so much on my own, you should be annoyed too. right?"

He reached out his hand to close the box, but Shen Jinghe pressed his hand and shook his head stubbornly, "No, I like to listen very much."

"Tell me more." Shen Jinghe looked at his slightly surprised face, his eyes were as clear as the moonlight in Pinghu Lake, and all the reflections were his shadow.

Liang Yan looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "It's okay, I'll tell you one by one when I have a chance in the future."

He stood up and reached out to support Shen Jinghe to stand still.After restoring things to their original state, they walked out along the path they had come from.When he came to the garden, Liang Yan seemed to have remembered something, and turned his head to the side and whispered to Shen Jinghe.

"Little He'er, you have to keep a secret for me." His eyes shone like starlight, "After all, you are the first person I want to bring in for so many years."

That strange and inexplicable feeling ran unscrupulously in his chest again, Shen Jinghe covered his heart, desperately trying to push it back, but was a little horrified to find that it didn't obey his command at all.

"...Okay." He tried for a long time before finally finding his voice.

Liang Yan approached on his own, and naturally took his hand again.

"Come on, I'll take you to my bedroom."

The gravel road ahead became a bit slippery due to a thin layer of falling snow. Liang Yan led him and carefully avoided the difficult places.

Seeing that Shen Jinghe still straightened his body a little nervously, he stood still and turned around, raised their tightly connected hands, and the corners of his lips slightly hooked into a warm arc.

"Don't be afraid, little He'er. I won't let you go until the snow stops."
