Chapter 23 Two Three. Twins

Liang Jiqing added some charcoal fire to the charcoal basin, and the charcoal basin burned more and more vigorously, with scorching heat waves.

"Brother, it's too early to use charcoal in this weather, isn't it?" Although Liang Jixuan felt warm and drove away the moisture all over his body, he still had some lingering fears when he thought of the profuse sweat he got up this morning.

"It's been raining a lot lately, and it's still very cold in Beiping at night," Liang Jiqing smiled, pursing his lips. "You've been running around during the day, and you've inevitably caught the cold air on your body. Let's burn it for a while."

Liang Jixuan sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. He hadn't slept with his brother for a long time, so he was a little nervous for a while.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time since you left home for Germany four years ago," Liang Jiqing couldn't help sighing, "Although we haven't seen each other, I feel that you have always been by my side and never left. The mirror feels like you are looking at me."

Liang Jixuan was amused, he closed his eyes and gesticulated Liang Jiqing's eyebrows.Although he hadn't seen him for four years, every inch and every inch of it matched the image of Liang Jiqing in his heart, exactly.

Even if they were placed in twins, they belonged to a pair with extremely similar appearance.It's similar to the fact that when he was a child, Mr. Liang would mistake them both.

When Liang Jiqing and Liang Jixuan were born, it happened to be midsummer.That year, the lotus flowers in Yonghe Town were in full bloom. The verdant and green lotus leaves stretched as far as the eye could see, covering the surface of the pool. The petals can be used as small bowls for water.The snow-white spread out, overlapping, it was a grand scene that was difficult to replicate.But that piece of white is too pure, from the root of the petals to the top, it is all white in a row, unlike ordinary lotus flowers, with some soft powder on the tip, this piece of lotus flower is stiff white, transparent white, There is no transition from start to finish.

At that time, Mrs. Liang was greedy, and especially loved the lotus pods in this pond.The lotus pods are huge and plump, one by one, in clusters, pointing up to the sky. The thumb-sized lotus seeds are locked in the raw green lotus tray, and the green stems are bent when they fall.She likes to sit on a small chair by the pool, fold a lotus pod, open it sparsely, and the round lotus seeds roll around the hem of her skirt.The lotus seeds are fresh, and raw food is also delicious. Knead the green skin and remove the lotus heart. The white flesh is stuffed into the mouth, and the whole midsummer is hidden in the juicy juice.

The grand scene of this film, however, withered and withered overnight.Mrs. Liang wailed all night until Chuguang climbed to the window, and they fell to the ground.The snow-white lotus flowers in the pond all withered without warning, but in the middle of the pond, a blood-red lotus blossomed.The branches are straight and extremely high, and on the top is a red lotus with two pedicles that is like blood coagulation, and the flower discs stand opposite each other.That spot was red, as if it had drained all the blood on the top of the pond full of white lotus, and he was pierced in the green eyes, boiling the whole town.Some people said that it was a vision from heaven, which was a rare auspicious omen; but others said that it was a strange phenomenon, which was an absolute omen.There are different opinions, but they all point to the new young masters of the Liang family.

Later, it was Mr. Liang who invited Master Keats from Wuyou Temple to put an end to all the gossip. "Bingdilian and these two young masters are naturally auspicious, but Bingdi is also a red lotus. There is blood in her bones, and she needs to be restrained."

The "Yi Qing" and "Xuan" in their names are also to suppress the so-called blood in their bones.

I don't know if it's because of the twins, they were born with more similar appearances and more similar emotions than ordinary twins.Their stand-in trees were also planted closer to each other, standing side by side on one side and one on the other.Mrs. Liang hugged them who were still young, and liked to call them by the position of the tree.Liang Jiqing's is on the left, she calls him 'Xiaozuo', and Liang Jixuan's is on the right, she calls him 'Xiaoyou'.Although they were born on the same day in the same year, but Liang Jiqing, who was born a few minutes earlier, is obviously much more lively and mischievous than Liang Jixuan, who was born later. Holding a mouth with missing teeth, he likes to hug his soft younger brother, vaguely Call him 'Little Grapefruit' and bite him with teeth marks on his face.

"You're not as soft as you were when you were young, little pomelo." Liang Jiqing poked Liang Jixuan who was next to him, and couldn't help laughing at him, he also remembered that when he was a child.Liang Jixuan was very cute when he was a child, he was soft and soft, he didn't like to laugh or make trouble, he looked like a little bun just out of the pot, he liked to sit on the small bed in a daze, he always liked to make trouble with him, make trouble He is happy when he laughs, and he is also happy when he is crying.Crying brother, he was caught and spanked by Mr. Liang, he rolled and cried on the big bed, Liang Jixuan would crawl over softly and kiss him.Liang Jiqing tutted and shook his head, "Now you are not as fun as you were when you were young."

"Hey, Brother Qing, it's agreed that we won't reveal our faults!" Liang Jixuan's ears turned red with embarrassment.

"Hey, what is this?" Liang Jiqing hung up his coat for him, and something rolled out of his pocket.

"Ah...this is the pocket watch I was going to give back to you," Liang Jixuan looked at the pocket watch, and suddenly thought of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, his mood suddenly collapsed, he With a forced smile, "I didn't expect it to be broken on the way, and it can't be repaired." He spread his hands pretending to be helpless, "It seems that God won't let me return the watch to you, probably because I owe you Forever."

"What nonsense, you never owe me anything," Liang Jiqing stroked the watch cover, looked at the twelve o'clock fixed on the dial, couldn't help but twitched, he turned his head and smiled at Liang Jixuan, "But since it's you Give it to me, then I will accept it."

Liang Jiqing stroked his hair, there was something in his eyes that he didn't quite understand.

Full of confusion, Liang Jixuan fell into a dreamland and stayed beside Liang Jiqing. He had a rare and peaceful sleep. He had a long memory dream:

'Click, click', because of the silence in the bedroom, the sound of the iron scissors opening and closing was particularly eye-catching.Liang Jiqing, who had just passed his birthday, was excitedly cutting the newspaper of the day in front of the candle lamp. He had a large cowhide-bound stamp album, which was given to him by his uncle as a birthday present the year before last. Thin tapes, which he specially used to collect small material for drama reports.

Liang Jixuan sat next to him to read medical books, looking at them rather than flipping through them. Flipping through the lanterns, he didn't read a few words, and the sound of flipping was loud. He looked up at Liang Jiqing, and opened his mouth to say something. What to order, hesitated for a long time, and then swallowed the words that rolled to the lips.

Liang Jiqing seemed to be in a good mood. He shook his head and fiddled with the stamp album on the table, and praised him a few times, but refused to pay attention to Liang Jixuan who was on the sidelines.

Liang Jixuan pursed his lips and slumped his shoulders in frustration, looking very aggrieved.

Seeing his younger brother's aggrieved appearance, Liang Jiqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.Putting down the scissors in his hand, he hugged him affectionately, and took out the two tickets in his arms to show him, "In a few days, Boss Baixiangdiebai from the Shaoping class in Beijing is going to go to work. Yutangchun, you, come with me."

Liang Jixuan plunged into Liang Jiqing's arms, as excited as a puppy that had just been fed.Liang Jiqing hugged his younger brother, who was about the same age as him, and shook his head with a smile.The one who knows Liang Jixuan best is of course Liang Jiqing.

Although it was expected, I was very happy to pass the exam.But after the ecstasy, problems also followed.Although Liang Jixuan is a public-funded student in the exam, he can pass with a little savings in food and lodging, but he always has to subsidize the boat ticket to Germany, and the one-time large expenditure is not an easy task for him.

"Brother, what do you think should I do?" Liang Jixuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "I can't borrow such a large sum from my classmates."

"That's right, what should we do?" Liang Jiqing propped his head to eat melon seeds with a smile, and looked at Liang Jixuan anxiously.

"Brother, be serious!" Liang Jixuan circled Liang Jiqing angrily, "I'm really in a hurry, help me find a solution!"

"Okay, okay," Liang Jiqing patted the empty seat next to him, and comforted Liang Jixuan to sit down. "Take it," he took out a ticket, and pointed to the empty space on his chest under Liang Jixuan's astonished eyes. Liang Jiqing teased him, "When you come back from your studies, remember to owe me a pocket watch, little pomelo."

......

pocket watch...pocket watch...

When he woke up, it was already daylight. "Wake up," Liang Jiqing smiled at him. He was sitting by the side flipping through newspapers, a metal chain was exposed in his chest pocket, and the pocket watch he gave him was safely placed inside.

Liang Jixuan felt guilty, and he secretly promised to find a good pocket watch for Liang Jiqing.But now, he has more important things to do first, he has to go to the Du Mansion to find out.
