Jun You Ji Fou

Leaving Chang'an in a deceptive way, all the way to the south, the plains were covered in a few days, and then turned into a waterway, they rented a boat like a rich man enjoying the haze, and then traveled eastward along the Tangtang River.Along the way, I only heard that Huainan was becoming more and more stable, and there were no more rebel movements.

The sky and water outside the boat were the same color, and the mist was vast, and a game of chess was placed on the low table inside the cabin, and Su Shiyu was sitting alone and playing chess with himself.The maid on the boat quietly stepped forward to refill the tea for him. Su Shiyu smiled politely at her, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Excuse me, how far is it from Xiangyang now?"

"It's very close to Xiangyang, and we will pass by tomorrow. Do you want to stop there for a day?" The maid got Su Shiyu's promise, and she voluntarily stepped back.

Chu Mingyun's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "What are you going to Xiangyang for?"

"A friend is in Xiangyang now, and I will visit him as agreed." Su Shiyu paused, then turned to look at him, "What are you eating?"

"Red bean cake." Chu Mingyun held a small celadon dish in one hand, slightly raised his chin, "Do you want to eat?"

"No need, just eat." Su Shiyu laughed, and his gaze fell back to the black and white chessboard.

Chu Mingyun casually put Xiaodie on the table, looked at the chess game with his head tilted, "Why don't I play with you?"

Su Shiyu didn't raise his eyes, just smiled lightly, "I don't play chess with people with oily hands."

"..." Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat down directly opposite him, took the black chess piece and dropped it calmly.

"..." Su Shiyu raised his eyes and took a deep look at him. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and took a piece of red bean cake into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Chu Mingyun looked at him with a smile.

"Not bad." Su Shiyu replied, looking down at the chess game, "Remember to wash the chess pieces afterward."

"Ah."

"You wash." Su Shiyu added warmly.

"……Row."

Xiangyang got its name because it is located in the Yang of the Xiangshui River. The Han River passes through the city, separating the two banks.

The sky is fine, the green poplars are inhabiting the hawks, the market is even more bustling, the paving restaurants are shouting loudly to attract customers, and the music of the zither is faintly heard from the Xiulou Music Square.

Walking leisurely in the bustling streets, Chu Mingyun looked at Su Shiyu beside him, and suddenly said with a smile: "The future of Huainan is unknown, and the government affairs of the court and China are handed over to subordinate officials, but right now you and I are here stealing leisurely, I don't know if it is considered as imperial court or not." Master Shi took me to dereliction of duty?"

"It's rare that Master Chu would have such an idea," Su Shiyu smiled, "In that case, I will definitely impeach you when I return to court."

"Tsk." Chu Mingyun said, "Are you really not worried about Huainan?"

"I just think what Master Chu said earlier is indeed reasonable," Su Shiyu said indifferently as he glanced at the woman playing the piano on the painting floor casually, "The news I heard along the way is enough to prove that the rebellion has other meanings. There will be no troubles before. And Huainan King himself has many doubts, and he can't figure it out in a short while, so it's better to find time to meet friends."

Chu Mingyun couldn't help frowning slightly, "Sounds like an important friend?"

He was about to answer when a soft voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Brother Su!"

They turned around and saw that the beautiful young girl who was waving under the shade of willows not far away suddenly smiled, and hurriedly put up her skirt and came running. When she got closer, she didn't take a step and her figure tilted. Su Shiyu quickly supported him, and the girl grabbed his arm. Standing firm, the eyebrows frowned as if twisted and hurt, but still raised his head and smiled, "Brother Su."

"Be careful." Su Shiyu withdrew his hand, "Why didn't you teach in the music workshop?"

"I came out to buy some replacement silk strings." The girl said, "I thought I was wrong just now, but I didn't expect Brother Su to really come to Xiangyang."

Su Shiyu responded, and looked at Chu Mingyun again, "This is Lan Yi, the luthier who taught in the music workshop."

"The friend you were talking about?" Chu Mingyun looked at Lan Yi and said calmly.

"It's me." Lan Yi smiled at him, then turned to look at Su Shiyu, a bit annoyed, "Brother Su is busy all day long, so now you have time to come to me?"

"Just stay for a moment." Su Shiyu said.

"So fast?" Lan Yi said, "Then don't go shopping on the street, Brother Su, come and sit with me. It happens to be a few new pieces of music, please listen to them for me."

"Alright." Su Shiyu nodded, and then saw Chu Mingyun frowning tightly. He hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then..."

"You think I'm in the way?" Chu Mingyun laughed without emotion.

"How could it be?" Su Shiyu said with a light smile, "I have something to ask Lan Yi, excuse me for a moment, Master Chu might as well take a stroll first."

"I'm not interested in shopping," Chu Mingyun looked at him, "I just want to be with you."

Clear tone.The four eyes met, and there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

The sun shines through the green willows, blurring a little soft light on his eyelashes, and there seems to be a slight wave in his eyes that is unknowable.Su Shiyu couldn't look away for a while, but he couldn't answer. He could only hear the long and thin sound of the zither on the embroidered building, and the delicate female voice sang about picking lotus in Nantangqiu.

Pedestrians come and go, and the atmosphere among them is weird, which inevitably attracts some curious eyes.Lan Yi lingered on the two of them, and finally said cautiously: "Brother Su?"

Su Shiyu came back to his senses, avoided his eyes as usual, glanced at Lan Yi, and wrote lightly: "I'll send Lan Yi back, and I'll be back later."

"...Okay." Chu Mingyun said without a tone, his eyes fell on Lan Yi, and he was still speaking to Su Shiyu, "I'll wait for you back on the boat."

Before he could respond, Chu Mingyun turned and left.

The light and shadow slid from his shoulders and shattered into mottled spots all over the ground.With a sigh of relief, Su Shiyu turned his gaze away and looked at Lan Yi, "Can I still walk by myself?"

Lan Yi lowered her head to look at her feet, she inadvertently caught a line of dark blue back from the corner of her vision, she still shook her head slowly after thinking about it.Su Shiyu sighed 'I'm impolite' in his ears, and then his body lightened, and he was picked up by the sky.Lan Yi was startled for a moment, looking over Su Shiyu's shoulder to see the man stop and look back, staring at them fixedly, he knew that the warm sun of July was covering his eyes, but he saw only the gloomy and frosty cold.

Her heart trembled in horror, and she hurriedly turned her head to avoid the cold gaze.

Stepping into the living room upstairs of the music workshop, the sound of silk and bamboo music was inaudible, and the little maid led the way to serve tea and then retreated with a blushing face, leaving only the two of them.

Lan Yi glanced at Su Shiyu who was looking around, and coughed awkwardly, "Please trouble me, sir, you can let me go down."

Su Shiyu glanced at her lightly, put her down, and straightened his sleeves, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but your acting skills are getting better and better."

"Where is it?" Lan Yi repeatedly said modestly, "It's a pity that I still didn't fall into the arms of the young master this time."

Su Shiyu laughed, "If that's the case, it's fine if I don't help you next time."

"No no no, how can it be done, the young master is such a gentleman, you still have to take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade." Lan Yi said cheekily, paused, and couldn't help asking: "The one just now should be Chu Taiwei?"

"It's him."

"...It really deserves its reputation." Lan Yi couldn't help being afraid, "Although I don't know why, but based on the way he looked at me just now, if it wasn't for the inconvenience in the market, I would definitely have died on the ground."

Su Shiyu smiled lightly, did not answer, but sat down with the tea cup, "Let's get down to business."

Lan Yi straightened her expression, lifted her robe and knelt down, respectfully said: "My subordinates will see you, Young Master."

There are countless ways to cultivate power in this world. There are shadow guards organized by Chu Mingyun, and Su Shiyu's disciples. There are not too many restraints.

"According to the rules, I will contact you when I pass by where you are. How did you come to find me this time?" Su Shiyu said.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I've already had my eyes all over the city. As soon as you show up at the ferry today, someone will notify me. I didn't dare to delay to see you."

Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "If you're in such a hurry, something happened in the court?"

Lan Yi shook her head, "There is nothing serious in the court. Steward Su Yi sent a letter saying that he lost contact with the young master, and the people he sent to deliver the letter have all disappeared. The steward is worried that something will happen to you, so he repeatedly asked me to confirm your safety."

"But I have never received a letter since I left." Su Shiyu said.

"The letter from the steward also said that three people were sent to look for you along the way at the same time. Could it be that the young master has never seen you before?" Lan Yi asked in surprise.

"...It seems that he was blocked by someone." The answer came to mind as soon as the words came out. Su Shiyu held the cup and was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and chuckled lightly, and drank the tea.

Lan Yi looked at him inexplicably, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way," she said, "This subordinate is negligent. Although it's nothing serious, the steward mentioned it in the letter. After the young master left Beijing, the court recommended As for the replacement of Wei Song’s Minister of the Household Department, the housekeeper didn’t know what the young master meant, so he dared not act on his own initiative, and after a long dispute, it finally fell into the hands of the Chu Party.”

"I see." Su Shiyu said lightly, "You can arrange it and find someone else to convey the news. I will find a way to solve the rest."

"Yes."

Su Shiyu put down the teacup, got up and said, "Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

Lan Yi got up after him, sent him two steps, and couldn't help but say in front of the door: "My lord."

"how?"

"That..." Lan Yi looked away and said hesitantly, "Master, why didn't you see Su Bai following you this time?"

Su Shiyu looked at her and said with a smile, "Do you want to see him?"

"The ghost wants to see that brainless person," Lan Yi blurted out, "I feel a lot cleaner when he's not here, so I'll just ask."

Su Shiyu smiled and said, "I also thought that you probably didn't want to see him, so I let Su Bai stay in Chang'an."

"What?" Lan Yi looked at him suddenly, "Young master, no, it can't be like this, I actually don't bother him that much..."

"The two of you quarrel as soon as you see each other, it's better to stay away from each other." Su Shiyu said with a smile.

Lan Yi stared at him for a long time, and choked out a sentence full of confusion, "Don't..."

Su Shiyu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and walked away.

"Young master!" Lan Yi said anxiously behind her.

"Su Bai and the convoy are behind, and we will probably arrive in Xiangyang in a few days." He said without looking back, his tone was gentle, and his figure had already walked a long way.

The ripples on the river surface are like broken gold, and the water reflects the mountains.Chu Mingyun's gaze seemed to fall on an unreachable place, Su Bai's fingertips tapped on the side of the boat one after another, and he was lost in thought.

Unexpected.

Or maybe it was because Su Shiyu had watched Su Shiyu's pure-hearted and ascetic appearance for a long time before he forgot this point.Not being married doesn't mean he doesn't have a lover. There are many people who have a long-standing marriage contract but have delayed it for a long time. What's more, there are always many court officials who keep their families safe and don't mention it.

Su Shiyu's heart defense is much higher than Chang'an's hundred-foot city wall, and it is more than impregnable.So he was not in a hurry, he said that the future would be long, he could not care about other people's coveting, he had enough patience to wait for Su Shiyu to believe.

But he never thought that that stone-like man would value a woman so much.

His fingers landed on the ship's side, and he clenched slightly unconsciously.

Familiar footsteps sounded from far and near, and Chu Mingyun turned around.Su Shiyu stopped, glanced into the cabin, then looked at him again, and said with a smile, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Chu Mingyun nodded, "Didn't you say I'll wait for you?"

Su Shiyu smiled faintly, and called the maid to warm the wine and serve the dishes. He and Chu Mingyun sat opposite each other at the table, but remained silent for no reason, each thinking.

After a while, Chu Mingyun suddenly said, "Are you going to stay for a few more days?"

"That's not necessary, we can continue sailing tomorrow." Su Shiyu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, the trip will not be delayed."

Chu Mingyun propped his chin, turned his head to look at him, and his gaze fell on his face carefully.

Su Shiyu coughed uncomfortably, put down his cup and stood up, "I'm going back to my room first, Master Chu should rest early."

Rubai's figure disappeared behind the door, the setting sun fell into the heart of the river outside the window, the sky was dark, the lamps were lit, and the song from the Xiulou across the river was heard in the distance.It was that Que song again, singing:

Picking lotuses in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flowers surpass people's heads.

Bow your head to get the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water.

……

The dream of sea water is long, the king is worried and I am also worried.

The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou.

Chu Mingyun leaned over the table and pillowed his arm, and suddenly reached out to take Su Shiyu's wine cup, put his lips on the cup, drank the wine slowly, feeling slightly cool.

The author has something to say: Xizhou Qu.

Reminiscing about the plums going down to Xizhou, folding the plums and sending them to Jiangbei.

The single shirt is apricot red, and the temples are the color of crows.

Where is Xizhou?Two oars cross the bridge.

Shrikes fly at dusk, and the wind blows the black mortar trees.

Under the tree is in front of the door, and there is emerald tin in the door.

If you don't come to open the door, go out to pick red lotus.

Picking lotuses in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flowers surpass people's heads.

Bow your head to get the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water.

Putting the lotus in the sleeve, the lotus heart is completely red.

Recalling that Lang Lang didn't arrive, I looked up at Feihong.

Hong Fei is all over Xizhou, and Wang Lang goes to the brothel.

The height of the building can't be seen, and the head of the railing is all day long.

There are twelve railings, and the hanging hands are as bright as jade.

The sky rises from the sky, and the sea water is empty and green.

The dream of sea water is long, the king is worried and I am also worried.

The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou.
