Shanglin Night Snow

The twilight is all together, and the lights are just coming on.

Shuttle among the crowds, Xun Miao was somewhat nostalgic for the days when he had a car: Guo's house was only two or three miles away from Secretary's Office, and Uncle Li couldn't go back and forth between here, so these days, he came here on foot. go.But from tomorrow onwards, this labor-intensive day will come to an end. Last night I packed up all the belongings, and today I have taught someone to deliver a letter to Uncle Li. No accidents, the old man's carriage has arrived at the back door of Guo's house, and we just need to wait for him to go back and deliver the letter to Uncle Li. Just put your belongings in the car and go.Although the new house has not yet been found, there is still a vacant house in the old man's house, and it doesn't hurt to go there for a while.

Only this is not a long-term solution.He has already made up his mind to wait for the opportunity to seek a foreign post: thinking back on these three years, sitting in the pavilion day after day, it was a fluke to be relocated. , or to repair and cure diseases within the interior, it is always an opportunity for achievement.Besides, the outside world is not like Beijing, it is always easier to marry a wife and buy a house, and it can avoid frequent meetings with that person...

But when I told Xiao Tong last night that he would move out, I didn't expect that person to stay, so I just pretended to persuade him?Such indifference is really chilling... Shaking his drowsy head, he managed to remove that figure from his mind, but when he raised his eyes, that disturbing smiling face appeared before his eyes again.

Nightmare is hard to go!He stopped and closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead vigorously a few times, but when he opened his eyes, he was disappointed—the smile was still there, and it was a few feet closer than before: the man rode his horse, and the spring breeze was coming towards him with a smile on his face, with a person beside him Pianya youth.

Jiawang!

He forgot to take a step for a while, and stared blankly at the two people who were walking side by side, his chest was filled with chaos, and gradually an evil thought was about to move...

Stepping up to meet him, he straddled the road in one step, pushed away the horse's face that was almost up to the tip of its nose, and threw two smiles brewing in his eyes to the horse's back: "Brother Guo, what a coincidence? It's time to go home now." So, can you give me a ride?"

Immediately, the person took some effort to put down the raised eyebrows, his face and voice were stagnant: "It's really a coincidence!" Turning his head: "Your Highness, this is Xun Miao, Secretary Cheng. The expostulations in honor of the Empress Dowager came from His hand." A pause: "He is currently staying at Guo's home."

"It turned out to be Xun Xingcheng!" King Jia nodded, and turned to Xun Miao to show his approval, and the sentence "Jiu Yang" seemed to come from sincerity.

Xun Miao bowed back: "I have heard His Highness King Jia's good name for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. His Highness is extraordinary in demeanor and charm. He is truly a gentleman, and it is unforgettable."

Unexpectedly receiving this praise, King Jia blushed slightly.

"It's a bit difficult to get here on the way down. If you want to disturb the halfway, Your Highness doesn't mind?" Xun Miao said, he stepped forward to grab Guo Kai's saddle and climbed up.

"This..." Unexpectedly, Mu Yinche hastily agreed: "I don't know..."

Xun Miao got on the horse and sat firmly, patted the predecessor on the shoulder: "Let's go!"

The horse did not move.

"I have to escort His Highness back to the mansion first, and I will return after a while, and I said that it is less than one mile from here..." After a short pause, "If you are really tired, you might as well find a restaurant nearby to rest and return after dinner. "

Xun Miao locked the smile at the corner of his mouth: "I'm already tired of eating the restaurants nearby, and I don't feel hungry at the moment, if Your Highness thinks it's okay, I might as well go with Brother Guo on this trip, just to relax."

No matter how stupid King Jia was, he knew that there must be something inside, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions, but at the moment, a bunch of surprised eyes wandered around him, burning his face so hot, he said: "There are guards accompanying you. Waiter, Xiao Wang can go back to the mansion by himself, so I don't bother Brother Guo to go through this, and you two will return early." After saying this, he rode away on his horse.

"You..." Guo Kai turned his head with anger on his face.

Xun Miao didn't take it seriously: "Let's go, don't miss me..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a short horse neighing in front of him, looked around, and saw pedestrians gathering in one place, as if something had happened.Just curious, the person in front of him slammed his horse, and caught him off guard and leaned back. Startled, he stretched his arms around the waist of the person in front of him, only to feel the surrounding scenery receding rapidly, and he galloped for about a hundred feet before he stopped. stop.

When he came back to his senses, Xun Miao looked up and saw a person lying down on the ground in front of him, his face was covered with loose long hair, and there were faint stains on the chest of his white clothes, which looked like blood!

"What happened?" Shocked, he asked anxiously.

The predecessors said coldly: "You stop first, then I can tell you what happened."

"Huh?" Xun Miao was startled, and hurriedly followed his words, tugging at his sleeve: "He...won't...?"

"There is still breath!" The guard squatting on the ground to check raised his words, which made everyone's high-hanging hearts drop a few inches.

"Brother Guo, this..." King Jia turned his face, as if he was still confused: "I just rode my horse a little too fast, but this person suddenly passed through, I couldn't stop him, so..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, he was just stunned and fainted for a while." Guo Kai was relieved, and ordered his attendants to carry the injured to the hospital, and turned around: "Your Highness, let's go back first, I will take care of you here, it's fine .”

King Jia remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "I am the one who hurt people, I definitely can't just walk away!"

Xun Miao raised his lowered eyelids just now, and the light in his eyes is no longer contemptuous: something unexpected happens, it is rare to be daring to do something!From this point of view, King Jia really lived up to the name of a gentleman.

A group of people then went to the hospital.

Just as Guo Kai expected, the injured person was not seriously injured, only suffered a few sprains and bruises, but his face was as white as paper, and his breath was weak, so he was mistaken for his life at that time.

After bandaging the wound, the doctor ordered the apprentice and the patient to drink a cup of herbal tea. After a while, he saw him waking up slowly. Seeing many people surrounded him, but no familiar faces, he was still confused.Guo Kai roughly told him about the previous situation, even though he didn't know the identity of King Jia, he was still terrified, he only said that he was careless in his journey, and he dared not blame others for this misfortune.

Everyone saw his ragged clothes, white and thin face, but he behaved politely and spoke elegantly. They were curious and felt pity, so they asked politely and found out that he was the son of a failed candidate in the Jinshi Department the year before last. Because his parents died young, there was no one at home. At that time, he was short of money, so he simply stayed in Beijing to study hard, and wanted to try again next year, but unfortunately, the relatives who took him in had moved south with his family a few months ago. Sheng, who is currently planning to leave Beijing and return to his hometown, sell some of his family property to make ends meet until next autumn, but unexpectedly, he encounters this disaster before leaving.

Everyone was sighing, when they suddenly saw that he took out a yellow purse from his sleeve, squeezed it, and his expression was full of worry.

"You were injured due to my negligence, and I will pay the medical bill for you, so you don't need to worry." Knowing what he meant, King Jia hurriedly spoke out to relieve his worries.

After hesitating for a while, the man got up and bowed: "That's it, thank you very much!" After all the words were said, the gratitude was beyond words.After resting for a while, he bid farewell to everyone: "I'm disturbing you today because..." Before I could finish my words, the people swayed without warning, like a dead tree that had lost its roots and fell straight forward...

Seeing the pale-faced and frail man being lifted up and put back on the couch, King Jia sighed, turned around and walked out the door.

Guo Kai went out with him, until there was no one under the eaves: "Your Highness, don't bother yourself. The doctor said that his weakness is not caused by injuries, but by long-term hard work and poor diet. If Your Highness is really sympathetic to him, instead of some money It’s good to tide over the difficulties for a while.”

King Jia shook his head: "Although he is poor, he is noble. If you think about money and silk for no reason, you may not be willing to accept it."

Guo Kai frowned: "Your Highness means..."

The man seemed to have made up his mind: "Since I hurt him, I should bear the consequences, so I will take him back to the mansion and let him stay with him until he recovers."

Guo Kai narrowed his eyebrows: "The number of staff and attendants in the palace is fixed, this method is not appropriate." After thinking about it: "If His Highness does not give up, I will bring this person back. My family simply doesn't want to say anything more about him, so I will let you go." Let’s wait for him to be raised until he recovers.”

Although King Jia didn't want to harass him, he had no other way, so after thinking about it, he had to agree.

It was still early in the morning, and the wind and waves passed by, the car and horses were like weaving, and the noise was still there.

The horse's gait was smooth, but Xun Miao didn't dare to let go of the hand holding the saddle. He heard the gurgling sound coming from his belly, which made people dizzy and bored.Turning his head to look at the sedan chair on the slow-moving side, he raised his finger to poke the straight back of the person in front of him: "You brought him back like this, have you ever thought about how to arrange him?"

The man said indifferently: "The Guo family is so big, there is always a place to live." After a while, "Tonight is in a hurry, and he may be convenient for you to stay in your house for a night, and I will report to my mother tomorrow, and then I will arrange another place."

"Huh?" Xun Miao was startled, and had already rushed to his lips, "Don't bother, I'll move out tonight and vacate the house!" But after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I have a lot of things in my house, and I have a lot of things in my house. There's no space, you can find another way."

Half an hour later, the backyard of Guo's house was brightly lit, and the sound of unloading boxes and cabinets resumed, just like the night before, and lasted until late at night.

After a few knocks on the door, facing the tired face protruding from the door, the little boy handed over the food box and said contemptuously, "Didn't you say you want to move out?"

Lifting the lid of the box and taking a look, the man pursed his lips: "Next time remember to wipe the edge of the bowl after pouring out the soup, and pour out the residue on the dessert plate..."

The little boy was impatient: "You obviously cleaned up last night, why didn't you leave?"

The man lowered his face: "Yesterday, I just took the time to tidy up the household belongings and take them out to blow some air. How can I leave today?"

The little boy sneered: "Put it in a box to blow air?"

The man was disdainful: "I forgot to move out, what's wrong? Besides, your master hasn't driven me out yet, why are you so impatient?" He shrank his head and pushed the door open.

The little boy outside was angry: "That's because I didn't have the opportunity to tell the general that you were going to leave early in the morning, otherwise he would drive you away!"

"It's not too late for you to say it now!" Xun Miao said harshly as he forcefully placed the food box on the table.

The sound of footsteps outside went away, Xun Miao sighed up to the sky, and sat down leaning on the corner of the table, the scenes at night floated in front of his eyes like a picture scroll, thinking anxiously: Is it really Xun Miao who is making trouble for no reason and brazenly pestering him endlessly?

Going back on what he says and saying nothing, knowing that insisting on not leaving will only embarrass both parties, but he always inadvertently breeds obsessions, especially when he sees the way that person looks at King Jia—the undisguised admiration. Let the reason go, and the anger burns!However, even if he has unspeakable affection for King Jia, what does it have to do with him?When I asked this question, Xun Miao was at a loss.

The night was dark, and there was silence everywhere.Quietly go out, light a pile of open fire in the courtyard, there are still some papers and silks that my father bought for the festival last month, and I respect them all now.

Yin and Yang have their own way, and monsters have different paths. Passers-by are willing to collect offerings, accept bewitching to get rid of confusion, and return people to their true nature...
