This sleeve is broken secretly

The news that Third Young Master Xie and Mr. Shen accidentally fell into the water while rafting quickly spread throughout the capital.Both are important officials of the imperial court, but fortunately, neither of them is in danger of life.Fortunately at that time, Mr. Shen, who was born in a southern water town, was very good at water and rescued Mr. Xie who was drowning, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.

Everyone couldn't help feeling that "Langyu Tinglan" was really a pair of close friends who risked their lives to save people like this.But there was another rumor that Xie Ling fell into the water that day because he had a meeting with Shen Bing.And the reason why Shen Bing saved people was that he was forced to do so because of the influence of Xie's family.

Both of these two are young men with outstanding looks and high positions, so they will naturally be in the vortex of all kinds of gossip from time to time.The people who gossip don't know the truth, and all kinds of bizarre hypotheses spread more and more fiercely.

And Xie Jin didn't have a chance to come out and clarify in person.After falling into the water, he probably caught a cold, and he was frightened and furious, and fell ill the next day, and the illness lasted for less than half a month.

----

Xie Hua rubbed the center of his brows, and quickly walked through the Jiuqu corridor of Xie Mansion to the backyard.He stayed up all night last night because of the errands of the Ministry of War, and finally came back this morning, and now he just wants to change his clothes, wash his face, and relax.In this room, he had just turned a corner with big strides, and almost bumped into Shen Bing who came out of the gravel path under the banana leaf next to him.

"Liangqing?" Xie Hua was stunned when he turned his head.

Shen Bing was also a little surprised.He was carrying a bamboo food box in his hand, and he knew who it was for, needless to say.At this time, he took two steps back to avoid people, and he was standing under the shade of a plantain that was as tall as a person.The emerald green shade just covered his head, and he looked up and down under this clump of graceful broad leaves, his beautiful eyes were faintly stained with blue.

"Helping and sparse is like a tree, but its quality is not wood, and it is tall and comfortable and shady." The imitation of plantains can also imitate the people in front of you.

Even Xie Hua, who had always been familiar with him, felt palpitating for a moment at this glamorous look.

"Brother Xie." Shen Bing called out, raised his hand and pushed aside the drooping broad leaves of the plantain, walked forward slowly, and saluted him, "I'm sorry."

Xie Hua hurriedly replied: "How could Liang Qing... come to find Ren Zhi?"

"That's right." Shen Yan smiled, "Rangzhi's appetite has been poor since he fell ill, and he only likes tofu. So I made some and brought them here to appetize him."

Xie Hua was surprised: "Liangqing, did you do it yourself?"

Shen Bing froze, looked away in embarrassment, cleared his voice and said, "Ahh...it's nothing. I used to see my mother do it when I was in my hometown, but now I'm pretty familiar with it myself."

Xie Hua looked at him with a complicated expression, and nodded slowly.

Shen Bing always felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly left after exchanging a few words of greeting.

After Xie Ling fell ill, he once clamored to move out to his own other hospital.However, Xie's mother is worried about this son who has never been sick once in 800 years, and she firmly forbids him to sleep out during this period of time. Every day, she sends a maid and cook to Xie Ling's room to deliver tonic ingredients. The tofu scoops up everything else and makes me want to vomit.

At this time, Shen Yi carried the food box into the yard where Xie Ling lived, but saw the shadow of flowers and trees were silent, only the sound of koi wagging its tail in the lotus pond under the corridor could be heard.There was no one on the left or right, only a servant standing at the door of the dormitory, who got up quickly when he saw Shen Bing approaching.

"My lord, it's fine for the young master to let you come in." After saying that, even the servant also retreated.

Every time Shen Yan came to visit, Xie Ling would send out the servants of the first hospital in advance.Shen Bing knew that he was thinking for himself, but the fire couldn't be covered with paper, and he didn't know how long this method could hide for them.

The bamboo curtains in the house were drawn, not a ray of light could come in.Incense was burned somewhere, and there was a smell of sinking sandalwood in the air, which made people drowsy after smelling it.Shen Bing gently put the food box in his hand on the table, looked inside, and sure enough, the bed curtain was drawn tightly, and the people in the room seemed to be still in a deep sleep.

Shen Yan shook his head helplessly, and walked over to ask him to get up and eat the tofu while it was hot.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand to lift the bed curtain, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from inside and pulled him in. Before Shen Bing let out a scream, he fell into a fiery chest.

"I've got you." Xie Qin wrapped himself around him tightly like a koala, and buried his head in the socket of his neck affectionately.

The tent was full of the restless smell of an adult man, and Xie Ling was running a fever again, and when he was carried up, he looked like a small stove, making Shen Bing almost out of breath.Shen Bing mercilessly twisted his side waist, struggled to sit up: "I'm not well yet, what are you messing around with?"

Xie Ling was naked, lazily hugging Shen Bi's slender waist to prevent him from walking, humming in his mouth.Shen Bing patted him again, got up and hung up the bed curtain for him, went over to fetch the still hot porcelain cup and handed it to his eyes: "Stop making trouble, eat while it's hot."

Xie Ling didn't answer, and asked with a smile, "Did you do it yourself?"

Shen Bing was embarrassed, and said "hmm".

He just told Xie Hua that he knew how to make tofu before, but he was actually lying.His family is rigid and strict, and he most adheres to the idea of ​​"a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", so naturally he will not have the opportunity to let him cook.It was also this time when Xie Ling fell ill that he thought of making something to appetize Xie Ling himself.However, the hands that are good at writing good words and poems are extremely clumsy in a pile of kitchen utensils, either burning the pot or cutting the flesh.With a blushing face, he tried more than a dozen times under the guidance of the cook at home, before he managed to make a bowl of Tofu Lao which was considered a success.

Xie Ling accepted it with a smile.However, the soup in the bowl is rich in orange and gold, and the shredded tofu is scattered like flowing clouds, supplemented by more than ten kinds of condiments such as dried shrimp, mustard, fungus, chopped green onion, chili oil, sesame oil, etc. move.Xie Ling picked up the porcelain spoon and tasted it. It was sour and pungent.Shen Bing brought him another bowl of white rice, which was also crystal clear and plump.Xie Ling was eating, and after a while, he finished a bowl of soup. He was sweating profusely and refreshed after eating.

"What a pleasure!" He put down the spoon and sighed comfortably after eating the last bite, "I haven't eaten so happily for a long time."

Shen Bing made himself a cup of fragrant tea. At this time, he walked over slowly and handed the cup to him to rinse his mouth: "It's good after you finish eating. I should go back. I still have business to do today."

"Don't go." Xie Jin hurriedly pulled him, "Just skip work once. Stay with me and lie down here for a while."

Shen Yan was helpless: "You have been stealing enough these days, do you still want me to be with you?"

But he couldn't rely on Xie Jin's trickery, so he had no choice but to take off his coat and lie down in the curtain with him.

The bed curtain was made of thick brocade, and when it was pulled up, it was dark inside the bed, and only the outline of the person next to it could be vaguely seen.The two leaned together, the atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, chatting slowly about homework.

"Gu Xiang's marriage is settled?" Shen Yan asked.

"Yeah." Xie Qin leaned his head against his chest, picked up a lock of his black hair and combed it with his five fingers, "I have reported to the emperor, and there is also interest in it, and it is estimated that a marriage will be granted in a while .”

Xie Ling arranged for Princess Guxiang to be a Jinshi who was in the same discipline as them. Shen Yi had worked with him in the Imperial Academy, so they knew each other.This person is ranked first, and he is also considered talented, but he is not considered to have any economical talents.Compared with governing the country and assisting the emperor, he is better at writing poems and Fu, and reciting classics.In addition, he was born in a well-known scholarly family in the capital, and he grew up with rich clothes and good food. He has a generous and peaceful temper, neither spoiled nor aggressive.Even if there are geniuses like Xie Ling and Shen Bing in the same class, this person has never been jealous or clinging deliberately, and has always kept a close distance.

Noble, talented, good-natured, well-born, but without too lofty aspirations.Such a person must be a good match for the princess.

Hearing that the two of them were about to achieve a positive result, Shen Yan couldn't help laughing: "That's good... I will definitely send a congratulatory gift on a good day in the future."

Xie Ling knew that Shen Yi had always felt guilty towards the mother and daughter because she rejected the in-laws offered by Concubine Duan.Although he knew it in his heart, he still couldn't help joking: "In fact, if you go to your aunt now and say that you are willing to marry Gu Xiang, she will definitely replace that dear friend without blinking an eye."

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yan saw at a glance that he was trying to eat sour vinegar again, and said with a calm smile, "The princess has her own good match... besides, don't I also have you?"

Xie Ling was so happy that he hugged him tightly, and asked warmly in his ear: "So, you are also my good match?"

"if not?"

"Red make-up on the ten-mile long street, the bridal chamber master stopped to celebrate." Xie Qin grinned and rubbed against him, "When will my lover come and marry me away?"

Shen Bing smiled and didn't answer, Xie Ling relentlessly rubbed over and insisted on giving him a good life.Shen Yu originally wanted him to stop asking, but remembering that the two of them had just quarreled about the future, if they don't answer at this time, it will inevitably leave a knot in their hearts.Forced to the point of helplessness by Xie Ling, he had no choice but to say casually: "Hongwu's 29th year."

It's only 27 years now.Xie Ling couldn't help being a little disappointed after hearing this: "It will take so long?"

Shen Yanqing coughed, and said with a low smile: "The family is poor, and it takes such a long time to raise the betrothal gift before we can marry your precious son."

Xie Ling was joking with him at first, but when he heard Shen Ting's serious answer, he couldn't help feeling a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, as if one day two years later, the two of them would really be able to enter the wedding room together under the blessings of everyone. Life is divided into seats, and death is also in the same room.He was thinking in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "What about that day? When was Hong Wu's 29th year?"

Shen Bing thought for a while: "December?"

"So cold? Is it not good for Yinghua in March, thick shade in July, and golden autumn in September?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and smiled, as if a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "You and I... When we are in love, it is the season of heavy snow. Besides, it is not very beautiful to be covered in silver and dressed in red makeup. Is it?"

Intense joy and affection surged into Xie Jin's heart, he couldn't help lowering his head back and forth, kissing the forehead of the person in his arms, and said with a low laugh: "My husband is right... remember to come to December next year. Marry me……"

In the midst of tenderness and sweetness, the two cuddled together, laughed and whispered for a while, and then both were sleepy again, leaning on each other's arms and falling asleep.
