Jianghu a dream

A dream in the rivers and lakes.

Not long after the couple left, the teahouse welcomed a special guest.

What kind of special law?This somewhat reckless young man hurriedly interrupted the chats of other guests, and told his story as if he hadn't talked for a long time.

I'm looking for someone, have you met him?

My name is Shen Yu, and my father is a former minister of Dali Temple.Since I was a child, I decided that my son would follow my father's will to be an examiner, and be an official who earns his official salary safely and securely.

My unreliable cousin Liu Rumei always advised me not to study hard, and even brought me a bunch of scriptures, but I didn't feel much after reading it.In my opinion, a safe and stable life is good, so why bother to walk around.

When I was 20 years old, I was admitted to Tanhua.Originally, I was a proper number one scholar, but out of nowhere, Gu Duanji jumped out and squeezed me down.

At the spring boudoir banquet that year, I stood silently on the side, looking at the number one scholar and the stars holding the moon, and I was quite aggrieved.But I am a well-educated Young Master Shen, and under my father's staring eyes, I obediently respected Gu Duanji and said some flattering words against my will.

Gu Duanji glanced at me at that time and said, "Why do your words sound a little fake to me?"

My smile froze on my face, I turned around angrily and left.

Being an official in the same dynasty always had a lot of conflicts, but every time Gu Duanji was able to overwhelm me.Every time I do something, he always plugs in.At that time, I didn't understand that this was a kind of maintenance. I just kept jumping around, saying behind his back that he was causing trouble, and sometimes making trouble for him.

But one time, I quietly avoided everyone, arbitrarily asserted that I handled a matter perfectly, and who knows, I got into trouble.

In the face of the boss's punishment, Gu Duanji stood in front of me. I saw that he took my fault onto himself without changing his face, and how far away the friends who usually talk bad things behind us can shrink as far as possible. Suddenly I felt a little stupid.

The matter was not too serious, and it was resolved perfectly in the end, of course Gu Duanji solved it for me.As soon as he turned his head, he saw me standing there stupidly, like a silly quail.Gu Duanji sighed helplessly: "You child. Forget it, don't be sad, next time you do things carefully."

I grabbed his skirt and said, "Master Gu, let me treat you to a meal."

I also called Liu Rumei, hoping she could show me some face.Liu Ru's brows were shining like lotus flowers, so I shrank aside and didn't participate.But I heard Gu Duanji say: "Shen Yu is pretty cute, but she's a little childish, and she lacks understanding."

I quickly served the wine: "I will follow you from now on."

He nodded with a smile, drank the wine in one gulp, and showed me the bottom of the glass.

Gu Duanji's carriage was already waiting at the door, he opened the curtain and turned his head to signal that I could leave.

After I got home, I couldn't help opening the cellar wine and drank it to my heart's content.

When I went to the Hanlin Academy the next day, I really had a splitting headache, and I hugged my head and hummed.Gu Duanji keenly noticed my abnormality and handed me a cup of tea.

I drank it all in one gulp, and he rubbed my hair, saying: "I really didn't expect you to drink so badly, don't drink next time."

I didn't bother to correct that it was the reason I drank all night, in fact, I drink very well.

Seeing that I felt better, Gu Duanji handed me a stack of manuscripts: "You messed up yesterday, clean it up yourself."

I nodded hastily, and from then on, I became his little follower.Serving tea and pouring water, beating his back and pinching his shoulders, he looked like an eunuch.

Gu Duanji is a good person, even though I used to tease him all the time, he still helped me avoid disasters.Three years passed in a flash, Gu Duanji was promoted, and he brought me with him along the way.So, I had to put on my official uniform every morning, and consciously stood in the last row waiting for the meeting.

Gu Duanji can stand in the front, his row is full of old men who are about the same age as my father.Others say that Gu Duanji has both sides, is slick, long-sleeved and good at dancing, relying on his good skin to cling to power, squeezed between the two groups, he is a lubricant.

I think he is very powerful. After all, he played tricks with a bunch of old men who have been messing around for decades, and he played so well. He probably will be a prime minister in the future.

What I have to say is that Gu Duanji is a clear stream in the court, and sure enough, he was promoted again in this court meeting.After all, the emperor needs such a person to assist sincerely, all forces need this person to maintain order in the court, and the people need this person to uphold justice.

After the court meeting, I walked a little slower, and when he came over, I grabbed his shoulder and shook: "Great, I'm optimistic about you!"

He smiled and let me scratch the marks on his official uniform.

I said again: "Tonight, my colleagues have specially arranged a celebration banquet for you, do you want to go?"

Gu Duanji does not form a party, does not seek personal gain, is honest and upright, everyone fears him and respects him, so they sent me to invite him.

Actually, Gu Duanji has a pretty good temper.

Sure enough, he agreed.

"Okay, after finishing work today, let's go together."

In front of Linglong Pavilion, I pulled Gu Duanji and frowned: "Why did they choose this place?"

Gu Duanji said: "It seems that they chose it for you."

As soon as we entered, Yingyingyanyan was full of flowers, presumably these people took over the whole building, did they just want to please Gu Duanji?

The wine glasses kept being handed over, and unfortunately I was poured a few glasses, and my colleagues patted me: "You boy, stand in the right camp and follow the right person."

I was in a daze, and I was really drunk a lot, but it was still far from my drunkenness.

Just about to drink another glass, a hand stretched out and took the glass away forcefully, "Stop drinking, he has a poor drinker."

My colleagues were just about to say that I have a good capacity for alcohol, but Gu Duanji had already taken my glass and drank it for me.I drank so fast that I choked and coughed again and again.

I saw that his cheeks were flushed, as if he was about to get drunk, so I hurriedly shouted: "Arrange a room, Young Master Gu is drunk."

Said that he pretended to be out of alcohol and threw himself on Gu Duanji, Gu Duanji froze and carried me to the room.

I flung myself on the bed, feeling that he had wiped my face for me, and I had indeed drank a lot, so I really fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

I was awakened by rubbing, and the person who rubbed me was...

Gu Duanji was also really tired, so he simply closed his clothes and lay down next to me, but I don't know why he was so violent after drinking, he just rubbed back and forth, waking me up, and he still closed his eyes.

I touched his face, warm to the touch.I touched his long hair again, grasped it tightly, and let it go. Seeing it slipping through my fingers, I couldn't bear to let it go.

Gu Duanji turned over, his lips barely touched my neck, his breath came out, and my whole body became hot.She hugged him back and kissed him on the lips.

He opened his eyes, stared at my face for a while, and suddenly burst into tears.

Either weeping or sobbing, with tears all over my neck, I heard him repeat over and over: "Xu Shiwan... Xu Shiwan... how did you go?"

I was surprised that not all of my sister's gossip was wrong, at least this time, she was right about two things.

1 Gu Duanji is a broken sleeve

2 He really has a former lover

Gu Duanji was still reading, I blocked his mouth and kissed him frantically, I don't want to hear that name again.

He kissed me back.

I can't help it anymore.

During the process, he kept chanting that name, and I blocked his mouth over and over again.

The little beast in my heart clamored: "I am Shen Yu! Shen Yu!"

But I know it's of no use.

The next morning, when Gu Duanji broke free from my arms and stared at me, I took out the excuse I had prepared: "I drank too much, I really don't know what's going on."

He got up to get dressed and ignored me.

I took this opportunity and said cheekily: "Since it's done, you just follow me."

He looked at me with that strange look, and said half aloud: "Stop joking, let's change the story of what happened last night."

I said angrily, "What do you mean, reneging on the debt."

"You'd better go back quickly, you won't be able to marry a wife if you keep yelling."

I was choked up.

After that it was business as usual, except for me, I didn't feel like I was normal anymore.As he drank more and more, he couldn't help but glance at him.One afternoon, when I went out of the palace gate, I saw him standing under a willow tree at the head of the road. The willow branches were soft and boneless on his shoulders. His body was slender and rusty like a tree.

My heart choked up.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Don't wait for anyone, just stand there, this tree is very beautiful."

I had an epiphany, and couldn't help gritting my teeth in a low voice: "Xu Shiwan, huh?"

He turned around abruptly: "How could you?"

I didn't wait for him to finish, I jumped up and kissed him gently.

He pushed me away, "What are you doing?"

I said bluntly: "Gu Duanji, I really like you."

He seemed a little surprised, and said: "Kids, don't keep talking about whether you like it or not, go home quickly."

I do not go.

He told me in a good temper: "The person I like has passed away, and I will never be with others again."

I pestered him: "Just try, just try."

He shook off me and left without looking back.

I looked at his back and angrily tore off a willow branch.

I am not a person who is afraid of failure. My sister also said that I am not willing to die. No, I stick to my heart.So I got up early every day and went to the gate of Gu Duanji's house to go to the court meeting with him, and put a pastry in his drawer every day.

No matter how ungrateful Gu Duanji is, I still have a lot to gain.

I got a cold face.

After pestering him for three months, I managed to block him on the street with a bright smile: "Master Gu, Mr. Gu, come here and I'll take you back. Hey, don't go."

He turned away.

Maybe it's because Gu Duanji got impatient with being pestered by me, and I was dismissed from office because of my bad manners.Now that I've been relieved of the official position, I might as well be a little more promiscuous, since I don't have much restraint anymore.

Gu Duanji was very helpless: "Shen Yu, can you stop pestering me? I even said it's impossible."

I shyly said, "Just try."

Maybe it was my sincerity that moved him, and he agreed.

"There is a condition, don't move, don't make too much noise, don't tell others."

I was speechless: "There are a few of them."

From then on, Gu Duanji no longer refused my overtures, and sometimes even gave me a smile. Every time I thought of him agreeing to me, I had the urge to shake my fist and shout.Every time my sister sees my contorted smile that I show all the time, I get a big shock.

It's another year's spring election, and I'm reinstated as an official to assist Gu Duanji in reviewing the papers.

That year, there was a vigorous fraud case in the examination room.Although it had nothing to do with Gu Duanji, he was considered ineffective in supervision and should be punished.I cried and hugged my father's thigh, begging him to forgive me, but my father was merciful and only cut his position.

But during the investigation, he still had to live in the Dali Temple, in short, under house arrest.

Because of my father, I was confiscated and implicated, and I was locked up at home.

In the middle of the night, I climbed over the wall and entered Dali Temple, fearing that he would not be able to eat well, sleep well, or be bullied.

Gu Duanji was really surprised when he saw me, and I gave the jailer some broken silver before coming in.I opened the lunch box and took out all his favorite foods.

"Well, squirrel mandarin fish, sweet-scented osmanthus balls, ants climbing a tree, Yipin sauce steak, seaweed egg drop soup. Hurry up and eat it, I just packed it."

He slowly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, "Hot?"

I said: "Of course, I paid them to get up and do it. Anyway, money can make ghosts work."

Gu Duanji ate it mouthful, and I looked at him stupidly.

After he finished eating, I took out the package from behind: "This is the bedding I made with you, you make do with it. This matter will be cleared up soon, and you must be innocent."

Gu Duanji took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "The clean one cleans himself."

It's a pity that the visit time was very short. I looked back at him every step of the way. A good-looking person is also so good-looking on the broken straw of the prison.

Gu Duanji motioned for me to leave quickly, I seemed to see the corners of his mouth turned up a little.

The results of the investigation came out, and it really had nothing to do with him.On the day he came out, I picked him up and took him home.

He was in a hurry to take a shower, and I knocked on the table behind the screen and waited for him.

The table is full of his favorite things I prepared.

The moment he came out, my whole body became hot, and I rushed forward to kiss and gnaw.Gu Duan moved his hand, trying to push me away, but he didn't move, and let me kiss, but there was no response.

I kissed him passionately, and he was kissed gently by me.I grabbed his robe, pulled it away with one hand, and hugged him with the other and fell onto the bed.

He responded and hugged me tightly.

When we were in a state of confusion, I tore off his long hair with one hand, and a white jade hairpin just fell off and hit the bed with a "ding".

Gu Duanji pushed me away, struggled to sit up, and reached out to pick up the hairpin, holding it like a baby.

Afterwards, he seemed to have regained his senses, and looked at me coldly. I felt chills when he looked at me, as if a sinner was waiting for the final judgment.

Gu Duanji shook his head helplessly, tears came down from my eyes, and I cried loudly: "Xu Shiwan, Xu Shiwan, let's go with the dead, I hate you, you have the qualifications of shit, go die, die, you all go die."

Gu Duanji hugged the maddened me, and his embrace smelled of fresh tea. "Shen Yu, give me some time, please, please, I can't accept it yet, wait a minute."

"It's been three years." I said, "Gu Duanji, you are an affectionate person, but I can't afford to wait."

The first time I turned around decisively in front of him, I heard him seem to be crying behind me.My heart was frozen, and I refused to look back, fearing that if I turned around, I would spend the rest of my life on this loving man.

The willow trees at the intersection of the street seemed to have a layer of frost that day.

I locked myself at home, asked for leave and didn't go out. I said I didn't want to see him, but I was full of him in my heart.

It's finally not so sad, but I heard that Gu Duanji resigned from office and left Beijing.At that moment, I can't express the feeling in my heart.

After two or three months, I couldn't see him, and I tried to court girls, but I always felt empty in my heart, lacking a Gu Duanji.

So ah, I can't stand this anymore.I want to find him, no matter who he has in mind, I just want to love him.

The young man drank a pot of tea and left in a hurry, leaving only a room for discussion.

"This young man is really a lover."
