I heard that he will die soon

From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, it took Yan Qiu almost a month to arrive in the capital by water, and he stayed directly at the inn. On the second day, someone came to deliver invitations.

Li Yanqiu's name is not only famous in Jiangnan area, but also in the capital city.

Since ancient times, there have been many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and many young people from the south of the Yangtze River come to Beijing every year for scientific research. Although Li Yanqiu has never been to the capital, the name has many followers. In addition, it has caused quite a stir in the past few years, and many people know about it. .

Li Yanqiu's name became even more famous especially after the Taifu of the current court praised his painting in person.

Yan Qiu went to Beijing as Li Yanqiu, and did not deliberately publicize it, but his movements were not secretive.

He wants others to know what's going on, and those who are interested will naturally know.

However, Yan Qiu considered various other possibilities, but he never expected that the sixth prince would be the first to visit.

What does the sixth prince want Li Yanqiu to do?

The sixth prince also didn't want the eldest prince and the second prince to be able to compete in literary talents, but not to be compared to the fourth and fifth princes in martial arts competitions, and not to be favored by the third and seventh princes in terms of favor, their status was very embarrassing.

When Yan Qiu was still Yan Qiu, he had confronted the sixth prince on the street. At that time, Yan Qiu was wearing a red dress, which was ridiculed by the other party as a wedding dress, and his words were often teased.Yan Qiu has encountered this kind of verbal teasing many times since he was a child. Some people don't know that he is the young master of the Yan family, and some people know, but they do it on purpose.

It's not enough to be really angry, Yan Qiu regarded these people as fools from the beginning, and as he got older, these people made him look down on them even more.

So, that time when he was molested by the sixth prince, the other party might not recognize him, but Yan Qiu did.It was because of the recognition of the sixth prince that Yan Qiu was so 'flame' that he led a group of guards to push the sixth prince to the ground and beat him in spite of everyone's obstruction.

Because of this matter, the matter was even brought up in front of the emperor, but in the end the sixth prince apologized to Yan Qiu. On the contrary, Yan Qiu was favored by the emperor, and he would invite him to the palace to meet him from time to time.

Because of this incident, Yan Qiu became enmity with the sixth prince.But what's strange is that the sixth prince is obviously the son of the emperor, but every time there is any conflict between the two, the emperor seems to favor Yan Qiu.

As a result, the conflict between the two became more and more serious. Yan Qiu reckoned that when he died, the sixth prince would be the happiest.

Knowing that the sixth prince invited him, Yan Qiu took a look at the invitation and found that he was thinking too much.

The sixth prince didn't come to invite him with his eyes on him, but he didn't know what he was doing recently. He invited scholars of letters in Beijing every ten days and a half months.Counting the time, there is still some time before the scientific examination, the significance of the Sixth Prince's wooing the literati in Beijing with such a big fanfare...

Yan Qiu: "Could it be that you suddenly figured it out and decided to be an elegant idle king?"

Sibao stood behind him and asked softly: "Master, is this asparagus feast?"

"I won't go this time." Yan Qiu casually tossed the invitation to the side, opened the folding fan, and fanned it slowly, "For the reason that he didn't interfere with the matter of the Fourth Prince this time, I won't look for it for him." Trouble."

The only purpose of Yan Qiu's coming to Beijing this time was to cause trouble, he had absolutely no idea of ​​pulling people to reminisce about the old days, and he was not in the mood to have a drink with people.

"If the sixth prince asks..."

"we'll talk about it then."

"Yes."

Yan Qiu tilted his head and looked out the window. He saw the familiar street scene, but he didn't see any acquaintances.

Yan Qiu: "How is the situation of the fourth prince?"

"I have woken up, and I am currently recuperating in the mansion."

"Has the letter been delivered?"

"Sent over."

"Yeah." Yan Qiu responded in a low voice, looked away, propped his head, and looked lazily, "It took a lot of time to hurry, he should wake up."

"master……"

"Ok?"

"Since the fourth prince is awake, what happened in the middle?"

"It's already here, it's always not good not to give him a little gift." Yan Qiu thought about it in his heart, and said: "The eldest prince still likes my paintings recently?"

"Yes, the eldest prince will send people to Jiangnan every year to inquire about your works."

"Go and spread the news, saying that Li Yanqiu came to Beijing to visit a friend, but learned that the friend has passed away and is currently staying in a hotel."

"Yes."

Sibao turned around and went to arrange these things. Yan Qiu waved and called Liansheng to the front, "Go and find out about the situation of the Yan family and the Wei family."

"Yes."

After Liansheng left, two people knocked on the door lightly, and after getting Yan Qiu's permission, they entered with their heads down.

Yan Qiu glanced at the letters in their hands, chuckled, "Who sent it?" Needless to say, he also knew that one of them was from Jun Yan, because he recognized Jun Yan's handwriting.

"Return to master, this letter is from the leader."

"Master, this is sent by Pavilion Master Xiao."

Yan Qiu stretched out his hand to take it, stroked Jun Yan's letter with his fingertips, and said, "If you haven't stepped back beforehand, let me sit alone."

"Yes."

Everyone backed out, Yan Qiu looked at the letter in his hand, remained silent for a long time, but finally opened Xiao Hangyi's letter first.

The content of the letter was nothing more than the whereabouts of those two people whom he asked to be stuffed in. Even if Xiao Hang didn't say anything about it, Yan Qiu could know it if he wanted to.This was the only incident in the letter, Yan Qiu quickly read it and threw it aside uninterested.

After he opened Jun Yan's letter, he found that the two men were talking about the same thing.However, Jun Yan also briefly talked about the origins of those two people, besides, there were Ning Qiaoqiao and Ning Wuxian.

Earlier, Ning Qiaoqiao wrote a letter to Yan Qiu, which actually said that they had met their father Chi Bai, and the three planned to surprise Ning Yao together.To Yan Qiu, just tell him in advance not to tell Ning Yao.

He is better informed, Yan Qiu said second and no one said first, if Ning Yao sensed something was wrong, Yan Qiu must be the first to ask.

What Jun Yan said in the letter is that the three of them are already on their way back, and they still have some 'sacred medicine', which should be for Yan Qiu to use.

There are always some things in this world that claim to cure all kinds of poisons, and the so-called 'sacred medicine' brought back by Ning Qiaoqiao and Ning Wuxian when they went out this time is this kind of thing.

Knowing that Ning Qiaoqiao and the others were going back, Yan Qiu smiled, "This little girl..."

Carefully folded Jun Yan's letter and put it back in his sleeve, while Xiao Hangyi tore up the letter and soaked it in a teacup, and someone would clean it up for him later.

I thought that there were only these two letters today, and I could get Jun Yan's letter as soon as I arrived in the capital, Yan Qiu was still in a good mood.

Unexpectedly, at night, Xiao Hangyi sent another letter, saying that Jun Yan also seemed to be heading for the capital.

There were only two sentences in the letter, and Yan Qiu read it three times to make sure he read it correctly.

Jun Yan going to Beijing?

Yan Qiu was a little surprised.

Forget it, since everyone has come, Jun Yan probably has already arrived when the letter is delivered.He can go back at this time to stop it.

So Yan Qiu put the matter aside, and just told his subordinates that if they saw Jun Yan, they would welcome him in directly.

The next morning, Yan Qiu got up before dawn.

With a bunch of things for painting, he went out after eating something early in the morning, heading towards Xuantian Temple outside the capital.

Li Yanqiu is a painter as well as a scholar, he has nothing else to do when he comes to the capital, and his friend is gone, so he has to draw a picture to remember.

But for Yan Qiu, going to Xuantian Temple can meet old friends by the way.

He always got up late, but if he went to Xuantian Temple late, it would be inconvenient.

Yan Qiu fell asleep when he got in the carriage, and when he got there, Sibao woke him up again.

In the early morning, people had already come to the temple to offer incense. When they saw Yan Qiu and his party coming in, they glanced at them and looked away indifferently if they didn't recognize them.

With a faint smile on the corner of Yan Qiu's mouth, he burnt incense according to the procedure, and then handed a copper coin to the young monk beside him, but it was not the currency used in the market, but engraved with the word "God's Virtue", I don't know what the meaning is.

Yan Qiu: "Please pass this over to you to host, saying it's an old friend's visit."

The little monk was very cute. He looked at the things in his hands in a daze, clasped his hands together, "Hold on a moment, benefactor."

"Ah."

After a while, the little monk came out again, and said to Yan Qiu with a confused face: "The abbot invites the benefactor to come over, and the benefactor is here."

Yan Qiu agreed with a smile, and left with him with a group of people.

When he saw the host, Yan Qiu squinted his eyes, "It's been a long time since I saw the host, but the host is still the same."

Host Fang looked at him with a kind face, and smiled at him, pointing to the futon opposite, "Sit."

The two sat opposite each other, and Yan Qiu waved his hands to let the people behind him back out. Watching the middle-aged host pouring tea for him, he said, "Xuantian Temple is quiet as usual."

"Peace of mind, it's the same everywhere."

"exactly."

The host looked up and smiled at him, "The benefactor has always been smart."

Yan Qiu shook his head lightly, and said, "It's not smart, it's just a little more self-knowledge than others."

"Ha ha."

The two stayed in the house for at least two hours, and when they came out, Yan Qiu's expression remained the same as before.

"The wedding is in mid-August. It's a pity that the host can't go there."

"It's okay." The host smiled kindly, looking at Yan Qiu with gentle eyes, "It's a good thing if you can find someone you know well. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"Thanks."

Host: "This string of beads will be given to the benefactor."

Never thinking that he could get a gift, Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment, watching the other party take the string of Buddhist beads from his hand, paused, did not refuse, and took it with a smile.

"Thank you."

"People who become monks have nothing beside them, and those things are of no use to the donor, so I will send a heart."

"The host has such a heart." Yan Qiu smiled lightly, but it was very sincere, "Ziqiu is already very grateful."

Xuantian Temple was the imperial temple of the previous dynasty. After the change of dynasty, today's people don't really believe in it, only the queen mother in the palace believes it very much, so they didn't push him directly.At present, there is no such thing as an imperial temple in Xuantian Temple, but there are also many pilgrims, and there is no shortage of money in the temple.

But the two were familiar. Yan Qiu lived in Xuantian Temple for a while when he was young, and he and the host were quite familiar with each other.The money of Xuantian Temple, apart from being used to support these monks, is kept and donated to help the surrounding people when natural and man-made disasters occur.

This money cannot be moved.

It's funny to say, Yan Qiu wanted to become a monk for a while when he was a child, but this host blocked him from doing so.

Yan Qiu always remembered what the host said to him at that time - escape can't solve anything.

That was the most stressful time for Yan Qiu, to the point where he began to doubt the meaning of his own existence.

Of course, he finally found a solution, grew up normally and abnormally, and lived until he met Jun Yan.

The Buddhist beads in his hand still carried the temperature of the other party, warm and smooth, Yan Qiu looked down and said with a smile: "Today I will paint in the temple, after today, I probably won't come here again."

The host's smile remained unchanged, "That's a good thing."

Yan Qiu: "Well, good thing."

In life, there are always some obsessions, but the most evaluation Yan Qiu received from this host before was that he had no obsessions.

Because there is no obsession, he can control his emotions perfectly, to a daunting level.

But he said that Yan Qiu had no obsessions, but he didn't let Yan Qiu escape into Buddhism.For a while, Yan Qiu would come to the temple to drink tea with him when he had nothing to do, just sit quietly for an afternoon and then leave without saying or doing anything.

It is indeed a good thing that Yan Qiu will not come back.

Yan Qiu already has such a thing as obsession.
