You remember son

Liu Cai respectfully knocked on the door three times and came in: "Young Master, Mr. Yuan invites you to go to Xiangchun."

"I'm not going." Murong Jiu stood in front of the painting of thorns with Xiao Hei in his arms.

Ever since Jiang Yulou left, he always felt a little lost, and occasionally closed the doors and windows to try to see if that person would show up again, but he knew he wouldn't.But the emptiness in his heart made him uncomfortable.

Liu Cai looked at his young master strangely, feeling unbelievable, and insisted on confirming again: "Young master...won't you go?"

Murong Jiu rushed him away impatiently: "If you don't want to go, you won't go. Are you still expecting me to go to that prodigal place?"

Liucai smiled and said: "Of course not!" Then he said: "By the way, young master, the wife of Mr. Yuan's family is born, and the master will go to congratulate her with his wife tomorrow, so that you don't have to study tomorrow, and you should also prepare gifts to wish Nongzhang's happiness. Madam has already picked out a gift for you to take with you."

"Mr. Yuan? When did the wife of Yuan Sheng's family get pregnant? Why didn't I hear him mention it?" Murong Jiuxin said, this kid Yuan Sheng has been wandering around all day, could it be that he brought Mrs. Ru back?

"No, no, she's the wife of Prince Yuan's family."

"Oh, it's from Yuan Sheng's elder brother's house." He touched Xiao Hei knowingly, and said with a smile, "Okay, that young master should also go to congratulate him."

Murong's family and Yuan, Song and Qiao's families are merchant families connected by bone and muscle, so Murong Jiu and those three are fooling around all day long, and the two elders of Murong's family only have a headache but they can't keep those three away from him.

Among the three sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Sheng is the third.This time it was Yuan Huiyuan, the eldest son of Yuan, who had his first child.It was the first time that the Yuan family had an eldest grandson, and it was a grand thing to think about it.

Murong Jiu then asked: "What kind of gift are you preparing?"

"Except for the red envelope, there are other etiquette items, and I also brought a pair of auspicious silver bracelets and a wealth and longevity lock."

"Silver bracelet? It's the first time the Yuan family got a baby girl."

Liu Cai chuckled and said: "No, this is the first time for the Yuan family to treat the auspicious twins, and the old man's smile is crooked."

"Really, congratulations." Murong Jiu said with a smile, "Prepare another pair of Ruyi, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

-

The little dragon and phoenix of the Yuan family that I saw that day was really cute. I never expected that the eldest son Yuan Hui would give birth to such a beautiful pair of children.

When Murong Jiu congratulated her on her return, she sighed and felt sad at the same time, because from then on, the elders in the family became jealous, fearing that the only child in the family would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, they planned to marry their daughter-in-law all day long.

Time flies by January, and the river embankment on the outskirts of the city is full of greenery, and the crabapple and peach blossoms are lovely.Murong Jiu then slipped out of the mansion for a walk.

I wanted to go to the temple on the mountain to chat about gossip, but when I went to the temple, the boy at the gate of the temple said that my uncle went on a trip a month ago, and I don't know when he will come back?

It's just that during the decades when I was young, I liked to travel around the world. After I met Murong Jiu, every time I came back, I would go to his Murong Mansion to drink tea and have a meal, and tell him about my travels in various countries. thing.

When I came back this time, I talked about the legend of the King of Daye and the eldest son of Yousu, the great achievements of General Zhao Guoxinwei, and the even more outrageous tragedy of love between a ladyboy and a monster...

Murong Jiu listened to it every time, but he only listened to it as if he was talking nonsense.This time, after he finished eating and drinking, he hurriedly drove him away.It's just that he was very reluctant to be kicked out every time, so Murong Jiu had no choice but to send him another jar of good wine.I really don't know what is the benefit of looking forward to his return?

Ever since Jiang Yulou left, he felt more and more that these years were turbulent and lifeless. Whenever he was troubled and depressed, he still liked to chat with this old monk.

One day later, he went to Yuan Sheng's for a drink, and saw him teasing his little nephew on his lap in the courtyard, the half-year-old child could cry and laugh.

Murong Jiu saw that he was holding a silver bracelet, so he smiled at Yuan Sheng: "Yuan Sheng, your nephew is wearing a bracelet, so the lock I gave you must have been worn by that girl, right?" ?”

Yuan Sheng laughed and said: "Oh! This little brat caught Zhou the day before yesterday. He didn't choose gold and silver treasures all over the floor, and he didn't pick documents and martial arts swords. He just picked up the worthless bracelet beside him and didn't let it go. A man, don't choose It's a girl's thing to play with. My eldest grandnephew..."

"If you don't know the goods, how do you know the benefits of this bracelet?"

"How good a bracelet can be is just a moral."

Murong Jiu rolled his eyes at him, Yuan Sheng coughed twice and spread his hands: "You continue."

Murong Jiu took a sip of tea, and said: "This bracelet was specially given by my mother. Although it is not as good as the jade wat sword, nor is it as good as your family's jade gold abacus, but it is my grandmother who wears it. It has been passed down. Our Murong Song Yuanqiao, the children of the four families are all males, and they are destined not to be in-laws. The meaning of my mother asking me to give this is to make a grandchildren in-law with your little niece. You I don’t know the goods.”

Yuan Sheng nodded with the original expression: "Then my nephew insists on this bracelet, has he already agreed to such a marriage?"

Murong Jiu hugged his nephew, teased his little mouth, and said with a smile: "Your nephew looks good, and he will be a good match to marry my Murong family in the future."

"That's right! My nephew Jun, Miao'er from our Yuan family is good!" Yuan Sheng was extremely proud, and asked again: "Then when will you have a daughter? If your Murong family is late, then Song Qiao's family will not be able to give birth to you." Think about it."

"Speaking of me? What about you? Haven't you never been married?"

"Me?" Yuan Sheng smiled, but his voice became smaller and smaller, like a mosquito: "I already have a sweetheart, surnamed Song..."

"My surname is Song? Why didn't I hear you mention it, which Song girl?"

"He's not an aunt..." Yuan Sheng suddenly gave him a blank look: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Murong Jiu felt that he was baffled, so he didn't ask anymore, instead he went to tease the child in his arms, and said, "What's the name of this child?"

"It's A Li."

"Yuanli? The meaning of this name is not good. Why did you choose such a name?"

"Hey, it's not my brother who said that the night before the child was born, my sister-in-law had a dream. She dreamed that she was standing on the Li River, with reeds growing by the river, and singing in the distance."

"Sing what?" Murong Jiuqi asked.

Yuan Sheng tilted his head and thought about it, but he couldn't remember clearly: "It seems to be singing "Chu Ci"?"

"Chu Ci?"

Murong Jiu hadn't thought about it yet, Ah Li in his arms was looking at him with big eyes, and smiled rawly, Murong Jiu teased his little cheeks, and the other's fleshy little hands grabbed his fingers. Let it go, and the other hand is still holding the bracelet, which is very cute.

Murong Jiu then set his eyes on the silver bracelet held by the child.At that time, the bracelet was packaged and delivered, and he had never seen it once before, but now that he saw it, he felt very familiar, so he grabbed Ah Li's little hand and took a closer look... He was stunned , The momentary emotions surged like a surging river!

Yuan Sheng was still leaning on the chair, playing with the jade beads in his hand, and asked him: "By the way, Xiaojiu, those two guys already have wives and concubines, why are you silent? I saw you in the past knowing how to play in Xiangchun, you How did you not lose a single one? According to me, the second elder of your family should also let go of your impossible dream of being the number one scholar. Your Murong family incense... Hey, are you talking to me, do you listen to me? Hey! Where are you going..."

The silver bracelets in Yuanli's hand were originally a pair, but he was only holding one at the moment, and that one was engraved with patterns of koi and auspicious grass...

Murong Jiu suddenly remembered the past of this bracelet.

He remembers...he remembers, he remembers that he once saved a silver fox.

Jiang Yulou said that in one life, Li Chenglin was reincarnated as a girl, and when he was holding him, he wore a silver bracelet carved with fish...

Murong Jiu ran back to his home, along the way, the past and the past were turbulent and chaotic...

He hurriedly rushed into the house and closed the doors and windows to block out all the glare of the light, and ran around the room in a hurry, almost crying.

"Yulou! Yulou, come out, come out and meet me! Come out! I beg you to come out, don't go..." He staggered and knelt on the ground: "I don't just want to keep your name, why do you only keep one and two Words and I miss... why? Why didn't you see me back then? Why...you don't ask me when you see me in this life..."

Jiang Yulou didn't know that Li Chenglin had left him a letter back then, but it wasn't the one he saw. The empress killed the person who the prince had left the message for, and replaced the real letter.

Murong Jiu looked at the dim air, he knew that all explanations were explained too late, 300 years late.

He felt extremely remorseful.He once followed him silently for the eighth life, but he didn't know him in the eighth life. Fortunately, he was able to see him in this life, but he still didn't know him. He told himself everything, but he still couldn't know him.He...can he blame himself?

That night when the moon was full in mid-autumn, he stood in front of his window all night, but wanted to tell himself everything?But...he couldn't bear it after all.

At the last moment of helplessness and pain, he called out his own name, Cheng Lin, Cheng Lin... Was he blaming himself?

The light in the room was very dark, Murong Jiu lit the lamp and went to the painting, standing there in a daze, a few lines of words appeared on the painting...

A brushstroke of red ink pays thorns, Nine worlds alone return to the dust and things disappear, green shirts don't remember things about Danqing, who remembers Su Yingli Midnight?

The painting is signed by Yulou, and the Polygonum spinosa in the painting is still there, born between the Canggu mountain stream, in the quiet, self-prosperous.

-

Murong Jiu found Jiang Yulou's former residence. After a hundred years, the pear tree in the garden has become a canopy.It's just that the courtyard is already full of weeds and weeds, wild vines are crawling around, the door will fall down without pushing, the window sills are dilapidated, and the inside is full of spiders and webs, which is infinitely desolate.

I can no longer see the calligraphy in front of the case where Jiang Yulou and Li Chenglin accompanied each other in the past. The calligraphy case of Yulou's research and painting in the old year is still there, and the dust has accumulated a lot.

Feeling lost in his heart, it was no longer a pleasure for him to stay for a while, and he left the house in panic.

The broken window paper behind him rustled a few times, as if to persuade him to stay...

Turning around suddenly, in a trance, he seemed to be able to see a young man in green shirt standing in front of the mahogany carved window. Li Chenglin approached with a smile. The jade building was still cold and cold. With a smile that has never been noticed by the people beside him.

When the wind blows, the pear trees in the courtyard are flying all over the courtyard, spinning like falling snow. Yulou seems to be standing under the shade of the pear trees, always with a rare smile on his pale face.

And Li Chenglin always had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and leaned leisurely by the tree.

At this moment, he was all in front of his eyes.

Murong Jiu looked at Li Yuan, feeling sad: "This life will be... thinking about you when you sit, thinking about you when you walk..."
