Wolf Dysprosium

The winter solstice in November is a grand festival second only to the Chinese New Year.The snow fell early in Liang Jing this year, and on the day of the winter solstice, there were goose-feather-like snowflakes, which fell from morning to noon before stopping for a while.The sky is still gloomy, with thick clouds lingering.

In previous years, Emperor Renzheng would go to Dayuan Temple to open an altar to offer sacrifices during the winter solstice.This sacrificial ceremony is very solemn and grand, and Jin Yan has participated in it several times. Because he is too young, he only feels that the ceremony is cumbersome, sleepy and boring.

But this year's ceremony is a bit unusual.Three days ago, Jin Yan planned to go to the inner city to find Ji Chunming, but he was stopped outside the city gate.The eight city gates between the inner and outer cities were all tightly closed.Jin Yan was surprised, the people of Mingye Hall kept checking, and it was not until night that the news came: the inner city was only closed, but the palace was heavily guarded, even more heavily guarded than before.

The gates of the city were closed, and even Ji Chunming couldn't get out.Jin Yan waited anxiously.On this day of the winter solstice, the gates of the inner and outer cities of Liang Jing finally opened.News came from the streets: The emperor's sacrificial convoy left the city yesterday and headed for Dayuan Temple.According to the usual practice, the six ministers must follow closely, and even the Shaoqing of Changlu Temple like Wei Yan must not leave the team.If I want to see Ji Chunming, I can only wait for him to return to the city.

Jin Yan felt more and more wrong.Something has happened, but he has no idea. "Go see sir." Jin Yan got up and said.

He and Chen Shuang walked out of the room when the tree in the corner suddenly rustled, and Yue Lianlou, whom they had not seen for a long time, jumped over the wall and fell to the ground.He came directly from the Ming Ye hall, and he didn't even bother to leave the door.

After not seeing him for a few days, both Chen Shuang and Jin Yan thought something happened to him, and they were greatly relieved to see him intact now.But Yue Lianlou looked strange: when he saw Chen Shuang and Jin Yan in the past, he always had a silly smile on his face, but now he was serious and gloomy.The person who loves cleanliness the most, his clothes are full of dust, his hair is not combed well, there are a few scratches on his ears, his eyes are blue and black, and his complexion is extremely haggard.

Without saying a word, he dragged Jin Yan into the house.After Chen Shuang entered the door, she quickly closed the door, and when she turned her head, she heard Yue Lianlou's voice hoarse: "The emperor is seriously ill, unable to get out of bed, unable to speak, only one hand and one pair of eyes can move. Now it is the third prince. Cen Rong is in charge of state affairs, including this sacrificial ceremony."

Jin Yan grabbed him: "Who said that?!"

Yue Lianlou: "When I returned to the city, I ran into Ji Chunming who was leaving the city, and secretly spoke to him a few words. He told me to tell you about it."

"How could this be..." Jin Yan immediately reacted, "Wait, that's not right! Even if the official is too ill to manage state affairs, Grand Master Liang should be the one who takes care of the state affairs. Now that foot is confined in Grand Master Liang's mansion, Yushitai should manage state affairs Cen Rong is not the heir, how could he..."

"It is said that the emperor fell in Cen Rong's mother's palace. The emperor played a few games of chess with him, and then suddenly fell. Before he fell, he said that he would make Cen Rong the emperor after his death." Yue Lianlou put it bluntly. , "Ji Chunming didn't dare to tell me too much, the convoy was heavily guarded, it was very weird."

Jin Yan resolutely said: "Impossible! Didn't you have an order?"

Yue Lianlou: "No, so Ji Chunming is also very suspicious. But I don't know the specific situation."

Jin Yan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is there any father-in-law Yang Zhiyuan in the convoy?"

Yue Lianlou: "I don't know, I don't know."

Jin Yan: "Eunuch Yang is the closest and most trusted person around the official family."

Chen Shuang said suddenly: "I recognize it. I'm going to visit Dayuan Temple right now. What do you want to ask?"

Jin Yan didn't have time to think about why he knew Yang Zhiyuan, so he picked up a pen and paper and wrote a note in a hurry: "When you see Eunuch Yang, you give this note to him. He knows you are someone I sent. Between you and Cen Rong...he should tell you. Remember to tell him to take care."

Chen Shuang left with the note.Yue Lianlou looked at his back and said, "Third cousin of yours, you are really brave."

Jin Yan felt anxious and tormented.The official's condition suddenly turned serious, and Cen Rong's presumptuousness was not related to the trap he set before.

Yue Lianlou suddenly said seriously: "Jin Yan, I came to see you to bid farewell to you."

Jin Yan was startled: "Where are you going?"

Yue Lianlou: "Go to Chiyan."

***

It got dark early, and when He Lansone and Jin Yunying arrived at Jin Yan's house, the snow fell again.

According to the custom, everyone should buy new clothes and shoes on the day of the winter solstice.How could Jin Yan still have time to think about these things, Jin Yunying thought about him, bought his clothes and shoes early and put them away.She wanted He Lansone to bring it along, fearing that she would run into someone who knew her on the road.But now the snow is thick and the wind is strong, and there are few people on the road. He Lansong put on a hat and cloak for her, and no one can see her appearance.

The gang members of Mingyetang already recognized He Lansone, and knew that he was the one who stood at the door of his house every day for punishment.A few days ago, I could only stand in the snow, but these days I can sit under the eaves and bake sweet potatoes with them.

Yue Lianlou just came out.When he saw Jin Yunying for the first time, he immediately wiped his dirty face and saluted Jin Yunying respectfully.Jin Yunying had heard many things about this handsome young man, she was very grateful, and held his hand tightly.She brought new clothes and shoes to both Jin Yan and Chen Shuang, but Yue Lianlou was not prepared, so she hurriedly took out a small hand stove with hot charcoal from her bag and handed it to Yue Lianlou.

Yue Lianlou accepted it with great care.Seeing that He Lansone was following Jin Yunying and wanted to go into the house, he immediately reached out and held him back: "Follow me to drink."

He Lansone: "Don't drink."

Yue Lianlou ignored him, grabbed the man's neck and dragged him away.

"Sister Jin Yan bought the clothes on you, right?" Yue Lianlou said with a smile, "You really look like a dog in new clothes."

This time he didn't bring Helansulfone to Chunfeng Chunyu Tower, but walked straight to the inner city, heading straight for Yufeng Tower.He Lansone didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Seeing him ordering food casually, he quickly reminded: "I don't have any money."

"I invite you today." Yue Lianlou waved his hand, "You can order whatever you want. By the way, I will also have a portion of the mountain and sea soup that the little general likes to eat. Don't want it now. I will borrow a food box from you. When you leave, let this green-eyed young man take him back to the little general."

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled again: "Hero Yue, it's rare to see him so generous."

Yue Lianlou laughed and scolded: "Be careful, I will beat you."

He Lansone couldn't figure it out and just looked at him.Yue Lianlou's haggardness is obvious, even the happiness at this moment seems to be faked, completely different from his usual style.

"When are you going to the Northwest Army?" Yue Lianlou asked him.

One of the reasons why Cen Jin brought He Lansone back was to recruit him into the Northwest Army and follow him like Ning Yuancheng.He Lansone has met people from the Ministry of War a few times, and he has no problem with his household registration status, and he is also good at martial arts.Originally, this matter has already been settled, and the Minister of the Ministry of War has also agreed, and He Lansone will be granted military registration in the near future.Unexpectedly, news came suddenly a few days ago: He Lansone's military registration has been crossed out.

He Lansone didn't know the inside story, but Cen Jin rarely appeared during that time, Ning Yuancheng went out early and returned late every day, and his words flickered, it seemed that something happened in the palace.

Yue Lianlou sneered: "I see. Now that Cen Rong is in power, how could he give you military status and let you stay in Dayu and Fenghu City in an open and honest manner. Fenghu City is the place Jin Ye longs for, if it is given to you Permit, if you go to seal the fox, Jin Yan has to go to seal the fox too."

He Lansone paused while drinking. "He won't go to Fenghu with me."

Yue Lianlou: "Impossible."

He Lansone: "My elder brother is related to the death of General Jin and the defeat of Baiqueguan. He is angry with me."

Yue Lianlou: "He didn't."

He Lansone endured for a moment, then said in a low voice, "He ignored me."

Yue Lianlou pinched his face, but He Lansone dodged it. "It's not cute." Yue Lianlou snorted, "No matter who it is, anyone who has heard what he said to Cen Rong can't doubt his true feelings for you."

He Lansone: "What did he say?"

Yue Lianlou was only listening outside the window.Cen Rong wanted to take his deer head from Jin Ye, but Jin Ye refused to let him. After Cen Rong raised his hand and threw it away, Jin Ye was even more furious. "I've never seen him lose his temper like this. He regards the deer head you gave him as a treasure in the world. I can't even touch it, and only Chen Shuang can occasionally pick it up and have a look."

He Lansone still asked: "What did he say?"

"He said that even if you kill him, he still likes you." Yue Lianlou played with the chopsticks between his fingers, "Even if he is dead, as long as you call his name in front of his grave, he will stand up immediately , follow you."

How unbelievable this sounds at first glance.Only those who are ignorant of the world can speak, reckless and lonely, making people laugh.Yue Lianlou felt the same way when she heard it.He just felt that Jin Yan still didn't understand anything, and those were just angry words.

But he couldn't forget it.Every time he encounters such a reckless and lonely brave, he wants to open his hands after laughing, stop in front of the turbulent world, and protect that little childishness.

"How fierce he was back then, but it's really funny how fierce he is." Yue Lianlou looked at the dumbfounded He Lansone and laughed, "Why are you so dumb? Don't you understand?"

"I understand." After He Lansone drank the wine in his glass, he felt as if there was steam billowing in his chest, and his tense shoulders and back relaxed.Perhaps it was due to alcohol, his ears were reddish, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.Rubbing the clean white porcelain cup with his fingertips, it took him a long time to whisper: "But he still ignores me."

"Wait a little longer." Yue Lianlou said, "He has some hurdles in his heart. But those hurdles have nothing to do with you, they are his own business."

He Lansone had more contact with Yue Lianlou, and gradually changed his previous impression.Yue Lianlou, who doesn't make fun of others and doesn't make fun of others, is very similar to Zhang Mo.

"Where is the hall master?" He Lansone said, "Has he found Jin Yan's mother in Chiyan?"

As soon as he spoke, Yue Lianlou's eyebrows twitched, showing pain and anxiety.

"I bid farewell to Jin Yan today." Yue Lianlou said, "Before Zhang Mo went to Chiyan, he told me to protect Jin Yan and help him solve the matter of Youjun Mountain. I didn't do it well, I didn't do it. But there are some things Urgent matters hold me back. After drinking this wine with you, I have to go. "

He clinked glasses with He Lansone and poured down a glass of wine with his neck raised.

"I'm going to Chiyan." Yue Lianlou said, "Zhang Mo is gone."

The author has something to say:

In fact, every year during the winter solstice, Mingyetang will distribute new clothes and shoes to the gang members.It's just that Yue Lianlou's taste is very different from others, he only wears the clothes Zhang Mo chooses for him.

Zhang Mo: No money, no buying.
