This sleeve is broken secretly

The two of them were busy from early morning to evening, before tidying up the whole yard, and rushing to put all the books into boxes before the arrival of the night humidity, so they could barely rest for a while.

The old servant cooked dinner, which consisted of two simple bowls of plain rice, one plate of fried rice, and one plate of cut beef.Xie Ling has eaten a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas since he was a child, but it seems that only meat and vegetables are the most suitable for his appetite at this moment.

After dinner, the two sat on the porch and saw the branches on the moon, which were covered with silver light like a jade plate. When they became interested, they blew out the candles and moved two bamboo chairs to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to watch the moon while drinking.The wine is the fruit wine brewed by the old servant. The white wine is soaked in fresh green olives picked in March. The taste is strong and the aftertaste is green and sweet.Both of them didn't drink well, and after a while, they became a little smoked.

Xie Ling bit the green olive core with his back teeth, took advantage of the drunkenness and said with a low smile: "You don't know, when I first saw you, I already admired you very much—"

"Nonsense." Shen Bian propped his forehead with his hands, resisting the waves of dizziness and alcohol, and snorted softly, "During the gold list, you still misunderstood that I tore up your invitation card, and you were very angry with me..."

"No, no, no." Xie Jin waved his hands again and again, "That, that's not the first time I met you—at least, it's not the first time I saw you."

Shen Yan was surprised, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Jin, but saw him shaking the wine in the glass, looking up at the moon shadow on the treetops, narrowing his eyes slightly and smiling: "Yangzhou, the talk meeting at Haopu Waterside Pavilion...that is The first time I saw you..."

Hao Pu Water Pavilion?Shen Yan racked his brains, and finally vaguely recalled some scenes at that time:

At that time, he was invited by a famous Confucianist in Yangzhou to participate in the symposium on "body and function".However, he was still young at that time, and the people sitting with him were all famous seniors, so he didn't distinguish well.After the talk was over, he deeply felt that he knew little and learned little, so he resigned all the people who came to visit him and went to the mountain to listen to the scriptures and enlighten Zen, so he missed Xie Jin's invitation.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ling was also in the waterside pavilion in Haopu that time.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help laughing: "It was that time? At that time, I was young and energetic, and my argument was so bad. How dare you say you admire me?"

Xie Ling smiled lowly and said: "...It's because of youth and vigor."

At that time, you stood among a group of wise men and scholars with long beards and gorgeous hair, but you were not afraid at all. You raised your head and talked loudly, as if there were mountains and valleys in your chest and rivers between your eyebrows.That day, although there were other people whose literary thinking was superb, but in terms of high-spirited spirit, you were the only one.

The place of understanding does not have to be far away, if there are forests and waters in the shade, you can think about it between Hao and Pu. ("Shi Shuo Xin Yu")

And the love and moon that I couldn't find in the mountains and seas, when I look back, it's all in your eyebrows, lips and smiles.

Hearing the admiration in Xie Ling's words, Shen Yan smiled and waved his hands, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't talk anymore, a gentleman should be as modest as he is, but if you chase after you every day, I will become a Arrogant... That day the teacher also said that I have been a little 'arrogant' recently, and I am not as humble and cautious as before."

Xie Ling secretly thought that it was because Li Chenfu had something in his words, but he was too embarrassed to say it clearly, so he could only point fingers at Sang and scold Huai.It sounds like you are scolding, but in fact you are scolding me.

At this time, the moon has moved past the mid-heaven, the warmth accumulated in the yard during the day has dissipated, and the dew chill begins to rise, and if you stay outside, you will be backlashed by the cold.Shen Bing stretched himself in the bamboo chair, yawned and said, "It's getting late, let's have a glass of wine."

Xie Ling was lying on the bamboo chair, one thousand and ten thousand were unwilling to leave, and Lai coquettishly said, "I'm drunk, it's dangerous to ride a horse by myself. Liangqing, let me stay today."

Shen Yan was a little hesitant: "What if I let the boy from the mansion come to pick me up?"

"It's so late, how long will it take before they come to pick me up?" Xie Jin said dissatisfied, "Liangqing, why are you so stingy, I cleaned up the yard for you all day, and you can't even stay overnight?"

Shen Yan sighed helplessly: "Yes, yes, but if there is an extra guest room in the yard, I can only wrong you and me to sleep in the same bed."

Xie Ling was really elated, but on his face he pretended to be aggrieved, "I have no choice but to do this", and Ren Chenbing came over to pick him up and walk into the house.As if all the bones in his body were softened, he half pushed and half leaned on Shen Bing's body, smelling the fragrant saponins from the end of his nose, he was simply ecstatic.

Shen Bing also drank a lot of wine, after placing him on the couch in the house, he also sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his forehead.However, Xie Qin refused to let him live in peace, leaned up and rubbed against his arm, and said in a drawn-out voice: "Liangqing——I want to take a bath."

Shen Bing now only has a wry smile: "It's so late, can't you make it right?"

"How can I do that?" Xie Ling said righteously, "I smell of alcohol all over my body, and I sweat all over while carrying books during the day, don't you think I want to sleep with you in a while?"

Shen Yan let out a long sigh, he had nothing to do with him, so he had to get up and find the old servant to boil water.After tossing and tossing for half an hour, I finally got a bucket of steaming bath water behind the screen in the bedroom.

Shen Yan said that he was going to get him soap root and incense slices, and went out of the house first.With a smile on the corner of Xie Ling's mouth, he took off his clothes and quickly soaked his whole body in the barrel.Of course, the "wine smell" and "sweat" are just excuses, his real purpose is of course——

The door creaked, and a figure walked in.Xie Ling looked up through the screen, and smiled slowly: "Liangqing, can you come in and help me? I can't rub my back with my hands."

Xie Ling admits that this move of his is a bit of a rascal... But isn't the rascal's method used to deal with an elegant gentleman like Shen Yi?

The person outside the screen seemed to stiffen for a moment, but he still walked behind him as he said.With a contented smile on Xie Jin's face, the person behind him picked up a cloth towel, wet it in the hot wooden barrel, and began to gently rub his back.The forceful rubbing against his bare skin made Xie Yin itchy and dry, and he grinned and said, "What are you doing, are you tickling me?"

The person behind paused for a moment, and Xie Jin felt bad, raised his hand to pull him, and said with a drawn-out smile: "You take off your clothes and come here, and I'll show you what a real scrub is—"

As soon as the hand holding the cloth towel failed to dodge, Xie Ling pulled him straight.At this time, Xie Ling was really restless, and his blood was boiling. He grabbed his wrist and took the opportunity to rub his skin with his thumb, thinking intoxicatedly:

As expected of my Liangqing... Look at this wrist, the hand is light and warm, and the skin is also dry and wrinkled...

Wait a moment.

Dry and wrinkled? !

What about the promised plump flesh and fat skin?

Xie Ling turned his head like an electric shock all over his body.Sure enough, at the end of the steaming mist from the wooden barrel, there was a huddled figure holding a cloth towel, frowning and looking back at him tremblingly.The figure's old face was wrinkled, his figure was hunched, and he wanted to cry without tears——

Xie Ling was furious: "Why are you here!"

The old servant was scared out of his wits long ago, and said in a sad voice: "Old, this old servant brought soap horns for your lord, and when I heard that you wanted to help me take a bath, I—"

Xie Ling was even more furious, and shouted: "My name is Liangqing! Liangqing!"

The old servant really couldn't explain it, and he didn't answer with a mournful face, but he heard another sound from the house, and the sound of clogs came beyond the screen, Shen Bing asked a little strangely: "Let it? What happened?"

The old servant said: "My lord wants someone to help rub his back, but he thinks the old servant is too weak..."

Shen Bing said: "Oh that's it, let it be, do you want me to go in and help you—"

"No!" Xie Ling sat back in the wooden barrel with a "chuckle" and said loudly, "No need, it's okay!"

Even if he had any romantic thoughts just now, he was scared back into his mother's womb by that "stunning glimpse" just now.At this time, I looked at the old servant standing next to me again, and remembered the crumpled snakeskin-like touch when I touched the wrist bone just now... Immediately, my whole body felt like a layer of goosebumps, and I wished I could chop it off. It's better to be the cheap hand just now.

Xie Rangzhi, it's a bad start.
