Jincheng flower hour

Liu Hong has been in Shu for many days, he has the responsibility to investigate the reality of Shu, not to mention his elder brother's wedding needs to be taken care of, he wants to get along well with Zhuang Yang and accompany him day and night before parting, but there is nothing he can do .

Taking advantage of this trip to visit Zhou Jing, I will meet Zhuang Yang here by the way.

In the backyard of Zhou's residence, there are delicate plum blossoms and colorful fallen petals.The two kneeling on the seats looked at each other a lot, and fell silent for a while.

Naturally, this place is not as secluded as Zhuang Yang's dormitory, although Zhou Jing has left, there are only the two of them in the backyard.Hugs and kisses are not allowed, Liu Hong dare not offend here, and Zhuang Yang will not allow it.

"Erlang, I want to invite you to Chang'an to go with Mr. Zhou. I wonder if Erlang is willing."

When Liu Hong said these words to Zhuang Yang, his demeanor seemed to be respectful to a famous person, not a close relative.

"Ken, I can escort Mr. there."

After all, Zhuang Yang is Zhou Jing's protégé, and he also has a strong interest in the books in the secret mansion. Moreover, he also wants to see what the Han Kingdom established by Liu Hong's father is like.

"Well, Erlang, I have a talisman here. You can carry it with you when you enter the Han Kingdom. Show it, and soldiers will escort you to the capital Chang'an."

Liu Hong took out a copper talisman from his bosom, which was the envoy's token.

He must protect Zhuang Yang, so before Zhuang Yang enters the Han border, he will order the county lieutenant in Bian County to send troops to meet them.

Zhuang Yang took the talisman and held it in his hand. Facing the graceful Liu Hong, Zhuang Yang really realized for the first time that he was already a king's heir.

"Ah Hong, how have you been over there this year?"

The two of them were too hasty when they got along before, and they didn't have time to ask him about many things.

"We're fighting all day long, and we can't tell whether it's good or bad. Erlang don't worry, all the battles we fight are sure."

There were no obvious scars on Liu Hong's body. He was highly skilled in martial arts, not to mention he spared his life and was never reckless.

"Erlang arrives in Chang'an, and I will walk with you in Shanglinyuan."

"it is good."

Zhuang Yang replied with a smile, he knew that Shanglin Garden was the garden of Emperor Xinchao.It was only later that the Xin Dynasty declined, and this huge garden was left unattended, and it was probably abandoned. The mountains, rivers, flowers, plants, and wild birds gathered together, and the scenery should be very beautiful.

The two sat under the plum tree and talked peacefully. Their words and deeds would not be too intimate, and they would never make any difference.

When Zhou Jing came over, he saw Zhuang Yang raising his hand and sweeping off the two plum petals on his head. Liu Hong's gaze stayed on Zhuang Yang and never moved away.

"A follower came to report outside the door, saying that there is something urgent to ask the young master to go back."

Zhou Jing was calm and calm, and stepped forward to report.

Liu Hong stood up and said, "Mr. Lao will inform you."

"Sir, Erlang, see you in Chang'an."

Liu Hong saluted and bid farewell to Zhou Jing and Zhuang Yang.

Zhuang Yang returned the salute. He raised his head and looked at Liu Hong with gentle eyes and affection in his eyes.Liu Hong's eyes fell on the gold belt hook on Zhuang Yang's waist. He smiled contemptuously at Zhuang Yang, then he restrained his expression, strode away, and walked towards the courtyard gate without hesitation.

They can't hug each other today, say goodbye, and there won't be a night that belongs to them.

Zhuang Yang and Zhou Jing sent Liu Hong out of the courtyard. Liu Hong got into the carriage and left with two or three servants.

The carriage went away and disappeared at the end of the road, Zhou Jingcai said: "A Yang, why don't you stay in Han to compile documents with me as a teacher."

"The disciple will not serve in the Han Kingdom."

Zhuang Yang said softly, he had his own persistence in his heart.

"As a teacher, I see that he is a person who misses old love, is a calm person, and can entrust great responsibilities. Why do you want to stay in this hopeless Shu land?"

Zhou Jing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the neat but bleak courtyard, feeling disappointed.

Zhuang Yang didn't say a word of excuse, but knelt down to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing is such a smart person, seeing Zhuang Yang's behavior, he knows that he has a difficult heart.Look at the wrong gold belt hook on his waist, it is the style of the Central Plains, probably a gift from Liu Hong.

What kind of unspeakable thing is there?Zhou Jing felt uneasy.

During the few days of living in Zhuli, Zhou Jing discovered that Zhuang Yang would stand in front of the railing every morning and look at Liu Hong who was practicing martial arts on the other side.At that time, Liu Hong was just a poor farm boy.Not to mention the things that must be done early in the morning every day, but in the conversation, this neighbor's son was mentioned many times.

Zhuang Yang is a disciple of Zhou Jing, he is familiar with Zhuang Yang's temperament, Zhuang Yang is easy to deal with, and treats others like a spring breeze, except for his family, there are very few outsiders who can make him care so much.

"Get up, even if you don't say anything, the teacher won't be able to punish you."

Zhou Jing called Zhuang Yang to stand up, he knew that this disciple was calm and introverted, and it must not be because of any serious matter, most likely he just wanted to stay in Shu to take care of his family.

On the afternoon of the second day, Zhuang Yang bid farewell to Liu Hong at the city gate.The bustling welcoming team left, and the streets were filled with excitedly watching people.

Liu Hong, dressed in crown and sword, left calmly and solemnly just like when he came.He was young and handsome, with a noble status, and he just passed by in a flash, and his body also attracted the attention of many women in the market.

I don't know if he is in the Central Plains, how many young girls should have taken a fancy to him.

Zhuang Yang withdrew his gaze from Liu Hong. He hoped that Liu Hong's infatuation with him would gradually dissipate with age and experience.If he stayed in the Han Dynasty to serve as an official, it would bring the two of them into an extremely difficult situation.This is something that Zhuang Yang doesn't want to see, and should be carefully avoided.

The carriage carrying Liu Hong was gradually covered by the people behind until he couldn't see it. Zhuang Yang felt that it was time for him to leave.Dachun's wife, who followed Zhuang Yang, wept sadly, but Zhuang Yang's heart was very quiet. The separation between him and Liu Hong was inevitable.

In the team, Dachun wore the clothes of soldiers, full of heroic spirit and full of ambition.In the crowd, he couldn't see his thin wife. He touched his chest from time to time, and he held two eggs boiled by his wife in his arms.

Dachun and his wife, Yue Nuo, will come to pick up the spring wife when he is in his prime.Not to mention that the young woman has been pregnant for several months, and it is inconvenient to travel long distances, not to mention that the wives of soldiers accompanying the army have extremely difficult lives.Keep her in the dealer, the dealer is kind and will treat her well.

"Erlang, sister-in-law Chun, let's go back."

Ah Yi pushed through the crowd and came to urge him.

"Let's go."

Zhuang Yang held the belt hook in his hand, feeling the coolness from it.That night in the study room, it was really too hasty, Zhuang Yang didn't ask Liu Hong the meaning of the hook, Zhuang Yang vaguely felt that it was a promise Liu Hong didn't say to him, and it was a long-term promise.

I hope it's not as I thought.

Not long after Liu Hong left, Zhuang Yang went to the county mansion to resign, and met the wounded Dudu Pirate, with cloth strips wrapped around his chest and no leather armor—probably in pain.

Zhuang Yang thought that most of the time he was injured while catching the bandit, but he didn't think he should bandage the bandit or give a few words of comfort, just pretending that he didn't see him.

Because of the entanglement of Du Du and the robbers, Zhuang Yang had the idea of ​​resigning from office last winter.It's just that there are many sacrifices in winter, thinking about this trip, I feel a little ashamed of the gods who have been with me for a year.

There is a beginning and an end, that is, one year has passed, so resign and let the county guard find someone else.

Since Zhou's house was renovated, the surrounding residents knew that the owner of the house had returned, and gradually the news about Mr. Zimu living here spread.

It doesn't matter if you have a lot of literary friends - Zhuang Yang didn't intend to hide it from them all the time, the carriages of rich people from Jinguan City who didn't know each other, and the envoys of the county guard also came from time to time, Zhou Jing was really annoyed.

"I'll send some soldiers over to guard your gate, and no one is allowed to come in."

One day, Wei Jia saw that Zhou Jing had no place to hide because of the noise from the visitors, so he helped Zhou Jing find a way.

"I'm going to blame you for this matter. You shouldn't have shoveled the weeds in the yard, and the wall can't be repaired."

Zhou Jing squatted behind the plum tree in the corner reading a book, and complained quite a bit when he saw Wei Jia.Let the house keep the appearance of a haunted house, and no one would have guessed that there are people living in it, so it's good.

"What's the use of blaming me, walk around, move to my general's mansion quickly, not to mention the county guard, even the king of Shu, I will block him from the door."

Wei Jia pulled Zhou Jing up. He sized up his old friend and felt that Zhou Jing had obviously lost weight after living in this run-down house for these days, and he looked even more immortal in his green clothes.

"Just bear with it for a few more days."

Zhou Jing sat on the ground, not letting go of the scroll.

"Endure it for a few days and move to my house?"

Wei Jia patted the petals and soil on the bamboo mat and sat down.His sitting posture is rude, Zhou Jing's sitting posture is standard upright.

"I'm going to the Kingdom of Han. The King of Han accepted the ancient books of the Xinchao Shishi and invited me to sort them out."

There was silence for a while, only the plum blossoms falling silently in front of the two of them.

Zhou Jing thought he would hear Wei Jia's objection, but he didn't want him to remain silent.Zhou Jing put down the scroll and looked up at Wei Jia.Wei Jia left his seat early, stood on the thick root system of the plum tree, looked up at Luoying.

After a long, long time, Wei Jia said, "I'll see you off. When are you going to travel?"

When Zhou Jing was young, he was famous in Jinguan City as a child prodigy, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was famous in the capital for his good writing.He had little ambition, but unfortunately suffered a lot of fate, and his family was broken and his family was destroyed.When it was a little longer, he refused to become an official because of concerns, wasting years.

Wei Jia knew Zhou Jing's talent best, he stayed with Zhou Jing because he wanted to retain talents for the Kingdom of Shu, and he didn't want to see the two of them meeting each other in battle in the future.

Although the two of them have the same literary skills and martial arts, if they are in the same position, Wei Jia would die for him without any complaints.If the two become enemies in the future, it will be extremely painful.

It's just that Zhou Jing is not someone he can keep.

"Ten days later."

Zhou Jing got up and stood beside Wei Jia, his words were normal.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have killed you for the King of Shu."

"It's not too late, General Wei."

The two smiled at each other.

A plum blossom lightly fell on General Wei's head, Zhou Jing raised his hand and gently brushed it away.

After Zhuang Yang resigned, he almost stayed at home, occasionally visiting Zhou Jing.Zhang Yushi and Qin Shuzuo also came to him and asked why Zhuang Yang resigned suddenly.Zhuang Yang told them that he was going to Han with Mr. Zimu, and that there were classics in the Xinchao Shishi in Han.Envious of these two colleagues, they said in unison: "There is such a good thing, how can I miss it."

Zhuang's life is peaceful and peaceful, and both Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Lan have grown up.Zhuang Yang left his family for the first time, but only temporarily, he went to Han, and he will come back soon.
