Zhuoying

The rain hit her cheek, and Shaozhen was drenched thoroughly.He walked from the pier to the store, his back was sore, he had to help himself, and stood in the rain for a while before continuing.

The cargo was heavy, and he followed a group of burly men to grab the cargo. After a month, his body would naturally be overwhelmed.But relying on his young age, he thought about going back to order a bowl of noodles at night, so he had the right to make up for it.

Suddenly an umbrella tilted above his head, protecting Shaozhen from the rain.But this umbrella should have been exchanged for a few copper coins on the street, and the core leaked in this heavy rain.

Shaozhen avoided the pouring, but was still splashed all over his face.He wiped his face coldly, and said helplessly, "Zhong Ruchen."

Zhong Xie just came out of the Mongolian Pavilion and wanted to find a place to live along the street.Shi Yu left him to live in the Mongolian Pavilion, and he felt that something was wrong, so he came out.Unexpectedly, that night, the inn was full of customers, he searched and turned around for a few streets, and found this kid.

Zhong Xie adjusted the umbrella core, barely blocking half of the water.He said: "Let's just make do with it. Are you going back to the museum? By the way."

"It's work."

Shaozhen and Zhong Xie walked together.After walking a few steps, he realized that this person was also taller than him.In the courtyard, Su Zhou, Pu Cheng and Rongyang were all taller than him, but how come they came out to touch one, they were still taller than him.Shaozhen straightened her back secretly, her size is a heart disease for young people.

Zhong Xie said in the sound of the rain: "I didn't see you last time, but the shopkeeper said he went to the academy to study. Is Mr. Zhong Baiou?"

"Ah." Shaozhen walked a few steps and said suddenly, "Are you brothers with Mr.?"

Zhong Xie turned his head to him and said, "I think so, but it's a pity that I voted in a hurry and went to the wrong family."

The two were speechless for a while, the shoes were soaked in the rain, and Shaozhen realized that the man was wearing a pair of ordinary shoes without soap boots.

Zhong Xie didn't know where he was looking, but he just wanted to say something to him, and said, "Baiou is a good gentleman, and it is fate that you follow him. Reading and commenting on the world, commenting on scriptures and learning, in the future, no matter which direction you go The roads are all good."

Shaozhen said: "You also study, why did you become an official?"

Zhong Xie turned down the handle of the umbrella, letting the water splash on his temples.He said: "The cold window and the lonely lamp, for several years. I have ambitions of the world in my arms, but the moment I walked out of the academy, I felt that the mountains and rivers are picturesque. It's my turn to add something." He smiled and sighed at Shaozhen : "It's a pity that your husband doesn't want to be with me. Going alone will inevitably be lonely. You will be discharged from the hospital in the future, have you thought about where you want to go?"

The dull pain in Shaozhen's lower back recurred. He watched the raindrops rolling down the curtain and said, "Let's see again."

When the two arrived at the door of Rongcheng Noodle Restaurant, Shaozhen opened the door, saw Zhong Xie standing in the rain with a leaky umbrella, and asked, "Where are you going?" Clothes, he said to him: "If you only want one night, then stay here. I will give you a room to sleep, and it will be half of the money in the inn."

Zhong Xie crossed the door to close the umbrella, shook the water in his sleeve, and said, "We know each other so well, aren't we considered friends?"

"If you are a friend, you have to count money." Shaozhen gave him a dry handkerchief, and said, "I want to eat, do you want to eat?" Zhong Xie took out the money bag, and Shaozhen turned to the kitchen, "I invite you to meet me. "

There was ginger soup left by Rong Yang on the kitchen stove, and Shaozhen filled a bowl for Zhong Xie, but he didn't drink it himself.He ordered ordinary Yangchun noodles, the only extravagance was adding an egg.The two ate together, and after clearing away the dishes, Shaozhen took Zhong Xie upstairs.

There is a hut next to the upstairs, facing the sun from the street.The bed is not big, but more than enough to sleep one person.The quilts are clean and tidy, and a small table is set up by the window, with neatly stacked old books.It can be seen that they were all scoured by Shaozhen from the floor, and he reworn some of the wool and frayed threads.

Zhong Xie looked at it and said unexpectedly: "You can still repair old books."

Shaozhen made the bed, and said in response: "Rong Yang taught me." Then he got up and let him out of the bed, saying: "Just sleep here."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhong Xie said: "The lobby is below, do you plan to sleep on the benches or the stove?" Before Shaozhen could reply, Zhong Xie pointed to the bed and said, "You are small, sleep in it. "

A quilt is attached at night.Shaozhen faced the wall, wanting to hear the sound of rain, but found that it was covered by the breathing of the person behind him.Zhong Xie fell asleep very quickly, he should be used to falling asleep like this.Shaozhen was lying on her side stiff, with the pressure on her shoulders uncomfortable.The soreness of trying to be brave was all over his body, Shaozhen closed his eyes, and after an unknown period of time, he felt the person behind him turn over softly, and his broad back was against him.

Shaozhen lay down slowly, feeling a little more comfortable.

He was thinking of Zhong Xie's question "Where are we going", but when he closed his eyes, it was the face of his master's old villain.

Where do you want to go in the future?He will part with Rong Yang one day, he can't rely on Rong Yang to help him all the time.He finally stepped on the solid ground, but he was a little dazed and didn't know where to go.

Zhong Xie's breathing was deep, pressing against Shaozhen's chest.Shaozhen put his hands on his shoulders, the cargo was rough and heavy, and the underside of his clothes were worn out.He looked at Zhong Xie's back and fell into a long trance until he fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, the quilt was all over her body, and Shaozhen was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.Zhong Xie had already left, and he left a thank you on the table for lending him paper and ink, and pressed the money.

That character is not like Zhong Xie, who writes wantonly and madly.Shaozhen collected the money, and the paper was pinched with his fingertips to be rubbed off, but somehow, it was neatly folded flat and pressed under the pillow.

a few days later.

"boom!"

Su Zhou fell down the ladder and hit his back on the stone slab so hard that he curled up suddenly.Su Shuo was taken aback for a moment, Shi Yu jumped down first and half-supported Su Zhou.

"Nothing." Su Zhou wiped the blood on his palm, he pinched it, blocked Shi Yu's gaze, and kept saying, "Nothing Sixth Brother."

Tomorrow, we should wait for the start of school. Today, people from the Mengguan came to repair the original platform of the academy.Su Zhou has always been a good hand at delivering things, but this time, for some reason, there have been several stumbles.

"Go and rest on the side, sir will bring cold soup later, you stay with sir." Shi Yuzhen left his hand and let him get up by himself.

Su Zhou practiced boxing and climbing with them when he was young, and he was never coquettish.Brothers are not used to it, what he can do by himself has always been supported by himself.

Su Zhou slowed down, and Su Shuo from above also came down.He squatted beside Su Zhou and asked him, "What did you do last night? I've been in a trance today. Dao'er is messing with you again, isn't she?"

Su Zhou raised his head and smiled, "No." He didn't sleep well recently, his eyes were blue, he helped the railing on the side, stood up, and said: "This ladder is slippery, bro, be careful when going up and down. "

Shi Yu patted him on the back, "If you feel uncomfortable, you should raise your voice to Sixth Brother."

"Hey." Su Zhou lowered his eyes.After the two went up again, they wiped off the blood from their palms.He leaned against the railing for a while, the sun was scorching hot, he basked in the sun for a while, and looked a little tired.

Start school one day later, no new students are added, everyone is familiar with each other, and return to the dormitory according to the original housing.Su Zhou mentioned to go home to live, and his house is at the head of the village, so it is convenient to go back and forth.Zhong You asked him why, and he said that there was an old man in his family, so he could no longer ask Mrs. Su to run at both ends like in the first half of the year, so Zhong You agreed.

Su Zhou's house is vacant, and the person who lives with him wants to transfer to another house.It happened that Pu Cheng was willing to live alone, so he gave it to this person. He lived in Su Zhou's original house by himself, so he was comfortable alone.Su Zhou will live in this house occasionally if he doesn't come back.On weekdays, the four of them return home and get together, and they are all here.

Shi Yu went to look for Aunt Xu once, but found no one, only Miss Su.Su Niangzi whispered: "Xu Qingsheng should have run away. A few days ago, Lan fell ill and didn't see her aunt as a thing again. She should have saved herself. Now Lan Sheng has also taken on some embroidery work, and there is a shop to take care of you. And don't worry."

Shi Yu responded, before leaving, he said: "What I said to my sister-in-law earlier, I want to mention it again now. Lan Sheng is a good girl, since Xu Qingsheng has run away, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back, I will support her as a dowry. There are quite a few talented young people in the museum, please trouble my sister-in-law to check."

"I also feel sorry for Lan Sheng, and I must do my best in this matter."

Shi Yu thanked him, turned around and went to the Mongolian Pavilion.The original gambling hall has already opened up, and a new tobacco store has opened nearby, all of which are Pu's business.Shi Yuguo saw a lot of people coming and going, his face was expressionless, he didn't know what he was thinking.He went back to the hall, and Meng Chen was waiting.

"The person ran away?" Meng Chen pinched the walnuts and prune the flowers and plants in his yard. He said: "If he doesn't run away, how can he survive if he meets you in Liu Town."

"He has always been sloppy, but this time he ran away without getting any money." Shi Yu raised his hand to support the branch, "He must have caused trouble."

"His old creditors have all run away, and there is no one to support him." Meng Chen threw him a walnut, and said, "Pu Song really started the tobacco and millet business." The old man sighed: "I am sorry for Pu Cheng .”

"There is also Su Zhou." Shi Yu said lightly, "Although he is not as talented as Pu Cheng, he has the temper of a big brother."

"Can you see it?" Meng Chen turned his hands back and looked at him, "You can see a bullshit. Ah Zhou has learned three points from Su Shuo, two points from you, and the remaining five points are more like 'soft'. There is kindness in his heart, but he doesn't pay attention to softness when dealing with this guy. If he can't cultivate his vigor, he won't even be able to compare with your elder brother in the future." Meng Chen saw that the new branches in the pot were wilting, and took some water Sprinkle it on, and said: "It's too late, a good sword must be sharpened. However, the young man is the most despised in this world. Look at the students of Mr., there are many good seedlings, but in the end there will be a few successful ones, it depends on good luck .”

But the good fortune of this world has always been difficult to understand.

As soon as Zhong Xie returned to Qingping Mansion, he first set up the Bell Mansion in Kyoto.After getting his letter, Zhong Ziming thought it over again, took advantage of one day to play chess with the emperor, and raised Yansu a little.

There is a reason why Xin Ming's chess skills are bad. King Pingding and Taishanghuang both failed in the chess game, but he has a powerful teacher named He Anchang, who insists on teaching him some skills.Because of this, Xin Ming loves to play chess, and often finds people to play, and Zhong Ziming is a frequent visitor.

Xin Ming heard the old man talking about Jiangtang from Jingzhen, so he guessed that he was going to pick up Yansu, but it was as it should be.He tapped the chess pieces with his fingertips, and instead of replying, he said, "Ruchen has been out for a year, and he's doing well in Qingping."

Zhong Ziming pleaded guilty, and said: "Your Majesty Qiannian, he is always a fool, what can he achieve?"

"Qi Yike mentioned it many times at the annual meeting, and Mr. Zhong is fooling me again." Xin Ming lightly pressed his chess piece on it, "There is no grade, so I have to do grades. He went to Xuhang, checked Yansu, but he didn't Only go to Mengchen."

Xin Ming raised his eyes, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "There is a problem with Yansu, I know it. Because the book of Prince Pingding came to the desk last night, I was just thinking about Meng Chen's boldness, disturbing the emperor's meditation time and time again, Unexpectedly, Zhong Xie was also added here." He dropped the chess piece and said in a deep voice, "It should be said that Zhong's family has been added."

It is well known that Meng Chen was disarmed and returned to the fields.But everyone below understands that Meng Chen is a person who will be loyal to the Supreme Emperor even if he dies.He withdrew, but whether he retreated cleanly or not, no one mentioned it before, but now Xin Ming himself remembers it clearly.The Supreme Emperor retreated to Nan Sui Mountain, where Xin Ming was the biggest in the world.Since he ascended the throne, he has fulfilled his duties and is full of ambition. How can he tolerate Meng Chen passing him, the new emperor, to the Supreme Emperor again and again?

There is a problem with Yansu, why not pass it on to him?Zhong Xie went to Changhe Town, while Meng Chen only passed on Nansui Mountain.Zhong Xie was in charge of the Zhong family in Kyoto, and he was close to Meng Chen. Didn't Zhong Ziming signal after him?

Xin Ming sneered coldly: "Bad intentions! Meng Chen dared to cross me to reach his father. He didn't recognize my position, or he didn't believe me. Zhong Xie is an official in the government. He didn't report what he knew, but he was waiting to report to him who!"

Zhong Ziming knelt down, kowtowed violently, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty!" He said quickly, "Your Majesty must not dare! The matter of Yansu will drag the canal again, and Zhong Xie risked his life to investigate in person for the purpose of Let Your Majesty understand! Don't call me a despicable Xiaoniang to cover up the sage's hearing! Meng Chen has always been different from the first-class ministers, and the generals of Jingzhe disdain the private virtues of the ministers! How can he be close to the Zhong family! Your Majesty, Mr. He—— My lord is still in Jingzhen, if Meng Chen has selfish intentions, Lord He will definitely play first!"

Zhong Ziming's chest jumped violently, and his head was knocked heavily.After all, he was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he never formed a clique for selfishness on weekdays, but he immediately raised Qingliu Ruxu. Xin Ming was still angry, but calmed down a little.

It is not wrong for Xin Ming to be too persistent in his ambition of ZTE.But his life experience is taboo, and he has an unexplainable relationship with the criminal prince of the previous dynasty, so the more he is in position, the more he wants to prove his identity.Once people indulge in paranoia, it is easy to cover their eyes and shut their ears.As for the emperor, what he wants is a person who listens and understands.

No hurry.

Xin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and said, "Get up and talk."

Chang Lehou, who was thousands of miles away, just pinched the tail of the incense, and said coldly to the empty tablet: "Just look, no one can escape."
