When Qi Yue resigned from office, he kept it from Song Cheng. Song Cheng didn't know that Qi Yue was no longer an official until someone from the palace came to clean up the things of the Imperial City Secretary.Song Cheng and Lady Qi were quite frightened, and they waited until it was dark before Qi Yue entered the door in a cloth shirt, with food in his hands.

As soon as Qi Yue entered the door, Song Cheng smelled a scent of zi, Qi Yue greeted with a smile: "Come on, Cheng Zi, take it quickly, serve the wine and let's have a good meal."

Song Cheng and Lady Qi looked at each other speechlessly, Qi Yue saw that Song Cheng hadn't moved, and urged with a smile, "Hurry up and get it, what are you doing here?"

Only then did Song Cheng step forward to take the things in Qi Yue's hands. Seeing her son smiling happily, Lady Qi felt relieved, punched Qi Yue hard and said, "It's okay, why don't you just tell me and Chengzi about it?" I have resigned, I should have let you know."

Qi Yue rubbed Lady Qi's shoulders with a smile and said with a flattering smile, "Mother, are you scared today?"

Lady Qi stared at Qi Yue and said nothing, she reached out to take the chopsticks handed over by Song Cheng to eat, Song Cheng said with a smile: "You don't say a word, there are people coming from the palace today, my mother and I thought you were demoted It's time to distribute to the frontier."

"Nonsense." Qi Yue said with a smile. Song Cheng peeked at Qi Yue and found that Qi Yue seemed to be really relieved today. A few strands of his usually tightly bundled hair were floating casually, and the skirt of his clothes was also opened slightly. With a wanton arc, Song Cheng smiled and said: "It seems that you are fine, you really scared my mother and me today."

"Chengzi, get that piece of meat for your mother." Lady Qi ignored Qi Yue, pointed at a piece of meat with her chopsticks and said to Song Cheng. Song Cheng heard the words and gave the meat to Lady Qi, and Lady Qi happily took it. Song Cheng I always feel that Mrs. Qi has been a little childish lately, and sometimes forgets what she is doing, which makes Song Cheng secretly worried.

Qi Yue also seemed to have noticed, he extended his chopsticks to Lady Qi and said, "Mother, eat more."

After dinner, Qi Yue and Song Cheng went back to the house to discuss the next thing. After all, Qi Yue's resignation will bring great changes to their family. Qi Yue originally wanted to go to Songzhou or Jiangnan, but Song Cheng felt that Qi Niangzi was too old to leave her homeland to go to other places. Qi Yue thought about it too, so he no longer mentioned the matter of leaving the capital.

Qi Yue has been busy for ten years, and has never been so free at night, but now that he has resigned from office, he has long since lost his usual official uniform. Qi Yue has been sitting in the study for a long time and can't find anything to do. , Song Cheng waited in the room for a long time but did not see Qi Yue coming back, and looked for it curiously, only to see Qi Yue sitting in the study in a daze.

"Qi Yue." Song Cheng yelled at the door, and walked in. Hearing Song Cheng's voice, Qi Yue turned around and smiled, took Song Cheng into his arms, vacated half of the chair, and let Song Cheng Sitting beside him, Song Cheng followed Qi Yue's wishes, and Qi Yue stretched out his hand to open the window. He pointed to the sky with a smile and said, "Chengzi, do you still remember what I promised you?"

"What?" Song Cheng was puzzled, the moonlight poured in, and a star as bright as a half moon shone outside. Song Cheng stretched his neck to take a look, then looked at Qi Yue in puzzlement and said, "What's wrong? This star is on the moon It just appeared."

Qi Yue knocked on the table and said with a smile: "It's so fast, many years ago, when we lived the first year, you once said that there would be stars as bright as the moon, and you bet me, I didn't expect It really came true." Qi Yue looked at Song Cheng with a smile, with an indistinct emotion flashing in his eyes, Song Cheng was taken aback for a moment before he remembered what he said back then.

"Qi Yue..." Song Cheng felt that Qi Yue felt something, but he didn't dare to ask directly, he asked tentatively, "Why did you suddenly remember this?"

"Chengzi, sometimes I feel that you are different from us, you are different from everyone here." Qi Yue hugged Song Cheng into his arms, "Sometimes I feel that I really can't catch you. One day you want to leave, so what should I do?" Qi Yue leaned on Song Cheng's shoulders, the two of them got older, and it's been a long time since they have been so innocently intimate.

"Why do you think this way? I've always been by your side." Song Cheng smiled and leaned against Qi Yue. He interlocked his hands with Qi Yue's ten fingers. He clasped all his hands in his palms and said, "It's because I was thinking too much today. Chengzi, the Imperial City Department is not comparable to other places. If we are in the capital, we may never be at peace."

"I understand, it's just my mother's situation, it's really not suitable for me to leave home." Song Cheng sighed.Speaking of Mrs. Qi, Qi Yue also knew it was wrong, he put Song Cheng's hand on his lap and said: "Listen to you.

After Qi Yue resigned, he ran Jingxiang Bookstore together with Song Cheng. It wasn't until Lady Qi passed away that Qi Yue brought Song Cheng to Songzhou, which had already been promoted to Yingtian Mansion.

Song Cheng shouldered the burden of Limen alone. After he and Qi Yue had nothing to worry about, he traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty, and wrote the travel notes himself. Song Cheng wanted to leave the most authentic historical materials for Song Che, so Not only did he describe the scenery and people he had seen in detail with pen and ink, many of them also left sketches. Without a pencil, Song Cheng tried to use a brush to outline the most realistic appearance.

"Qi Yue, raise your head up, don't move, I'll draw a picture for you." It's time for sunrise on Mount Tai, when Qi Yue heard the words and turned around, he saw Song Cheng had already picked up the brush and ink, and Song Cheng was usually seen painting with black ink , Today is full of colors, Qi Yue asked curiously: "Do you want to do meticulous painting?"

Song Cheng smiled, and said, "Don't move, just sit there."

In the first half of his life, Qi Yue fought in the battlefield, was ups and downs in the officialdom, and traveled the world in the second half of his life. His demeanor was beyond comparison with ordinary people, and he was more charming than himself at every moment in the past. His untied hair fluttered in the wind, Song Cheng tilted his head and smiled, "You're so handsome."

Qi Yue smiled.

On the last page of "Travel of the Great Song Dynasty", there is a scholar of outstanding demeanor, when the sun rises on Mount Tai, he looks down at the mountains and seas.

When Song Cheng was in his later years, he taught children in a small academy not far from home. Every time Qi Yue saw him co-authoring a book and telling stories to the children, it was as if he had seen Master Xu from the past, with thousands of kinds of knowledge. , Mr. Xu and Song Cheng, but they are the noncommittal ones.Few people in the world can match Song Cheng's knowledge, but he never wrote a book, and only had the "Journey to the Song Dynasty" in his life.

The Liangyue Pavilion next to the small bamboo house is Song Cheng's favorite place.The moon waxes and wanes, and people experience joys and sorrows. When Song Cheng passed away, Qi Yue was already in his seventies.The two have no children, only their adopted son Qi Chun.Qi Chun was the child picked up by Song Cheng. Seeing that the child was familiar with Song Cheng, Qi Yue immediately recognized him as his adopted son and changed his name to Qi Chun.

After Song Cheng passed away, Qi Yue never left Songzhou again. He built a house next to Song Cheng's cemetery. He watched Qi Chun marry a wife and have children, full of children and grandchildren. Can live so long.

Qi Chun inherited the Limen, and further developed the bookstore. Qi Yue only entertained his grandchildren at home. The affairs of the imperial city secretary would always be buried under the glorious light and blood of the imperial city. After three generations, No one will ever remember such a grown-up ever again.Recently, Qi Yue always went to Song Cheng's cemetery. Qi Chun was in his prime and was away all year round. There was only his wife and eldest son Qi Nan at home.

Qi Yue has been sleeping restlessly for the past few days, often getting up and going out before dawn, and he is unwilling to let his family follow him. Qi Nan and his mother have been frightened several times. The old man in his family has always been stubborn and old. , what if there is an accident outside?Qi Yue went to Song Cheng's cemetery again today, and the cemetery was a bit deserted, Qi Yue cleaned it up for two days before clearing the weeds.

Qi Chun was originally doing business in Jiangnan, but when he received a letter from his eldest son, Qi Nan, he felt that his father was not in the right place these days, so he rushed over from Jiangnan, and Xu Fuzhi's youngest son, Xu Zhao, who is now in his 40s, also followed Qi Chun. Chun came to Songzhou from Jiangnan together.

Xu Zhao is Xu Fuzhi's old son, he was very spoiled when he was a child, Xu Fuzhi liked this child the most.When Xu Zhao and Qi Chun came back, Qi Yue was still in good spirits. Qi Yue was very happy to see Xu Zhao, and pulled Xu Zhao to say many things, some of which were for Xu Zhao, and some were for Xu Fuzhi. , and some are for himself.

That night Qi Yue ate a home-cooked meal and went to bed early, but Qi Chun and Xu Zhao played chess for half the night.When the sky was about to dawn, there was a sudden light outside, and Qi Yue woke up from a light sleep, he put on his outer robe and went out.He looked up to the sky, only to see a star like half a moon, more dazzling than what he and Chengzi saw back then.

Qi Yue got up together, and immediately someone ran to inform Qi Chun, Qi Chun also saw the vision when he woke up, and after a while, everyone in the yard got up.Qi Chun, Xu Zhao and Qi Nan all went to Qi Yue's yard.As soon as Qi Chun entered the door, he called out to Dad, Qi Yue looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and didn't recover, Qi Nan took a chair and put it beside Qi Yue and said, "Grandpa, sit down."

Qi Yue turned around, smiled and sat down, he patted his legs, and the three juniors sat down beside him.Qi Yue pointed to the stars in the sky and said with a smile: "Chengzi and I have seen such a heart back then, but that heart was not so bright. Chengzi said that the stars in the sky are the souls of people on the earth. Ban Liang, did I live too long, Cheng Zi misses me too much?"

Qi Chun and Xu Zhao looked at each other, the old man might have expected something, he said this as if the time was coming.

The starlight seemed to have washed Qi Yue's old and cloudy eyes, his eyes were surprisingly bright, he looked at the stars in the sky almost obsessively, none of the three juniors dared to speak.

After some time, Qi Yue spoke, and he said to Qi Nan: "You haven't seen your Grandpa Song, when I first saw him, he was younger than you, thin and small, with a round face, looking Obediently, but I know that he is a ghost, clever. He loves to sue my mother, my mother is hot-tempered, and she hates me bullying Chengzi. At that time, our house had a small yard, and there was a broom at the door. Whenever my mother got angry, she picked me up and cleaned me up."

"Haha, grandpa, did grandma often beat you when you were young?" Qi Nan asked with a smile.

"Often beatings. When I was your age, I was beaten." Qi Yue said with a smile, "When Cheng Zi was your age, he already opened the bookstore by himself. At that time, the bookstore had just started. The sun and the moon come back from the top of the tip."

"We've never been apart for so long." Qi Yue slowly closed his eyes, and he continued to speak intermittently. After a long pause, Qi Chun and the three realized that Qi Yue had stopped breathing. Qi Chun and the three were heartbroken and burst into tears.

Qi Yue was 86 years old.
