Chu Yang tried his best to suppress the excitement in his eyes and the curl of his lips. He let out a breath of cold air, tightly grasped the saber at his waist, and followed the servant steadily, step by step.

Finally, before he was about to meet the person whom he had been thinking about day and night for a long time, Chu Yang couldn't help asking, "How are you doing these past few months, my lord?"

The road from the front door of the small courtyard to the main house was not long, but the handsome servant walked very slowly.

Pursing his lips, the servant paused, and suddenly turned sideways and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Chu has been in the capital for a long time, and he still doesn't know what's going on in the water town today."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yang was puzzled and a little upset when asked by the servant.

The handsome little servant smiled, and started to walk again, Chu Yang walked two steps ahead, and said in a low voice, "Da Chu is suffering from a drought, and there are many refugees in the north who escaped from there, and the emperor is in charge of the capital." , Those people naturally dare not make trouble, but our Tianshui Town is different..." At this point, the boy's face changed, he sighed softly, and shook his head again, "The court said it was disaster relief, but the embezzlement There are not a few officials who provide disaster relief and money. Seeing that more and more people are dying of starvation every day, the young man is kind, and he is opening a warehouse to release food and giving porridge... This is how he was stable before the court came. It won the hearts of the people. In those few months, the young master was afraid that someone would make trouble at the mansion, so he sent several young masters and girls from the backyard to the Zhuangzi for shelter."

Hearing this, Chu Yang froze in place.

The servant couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he turned his head and said, "Young Master Chu, why don't you leave?"

"It's hard work." There was some trembling and self-blame in his voice, Chu Yang lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, "He must have worked hard."

"Yeah." The boy recalled, "Before entering Beijing, Young Master hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time."

……

The main room in the small courtyard is very simple, with only two square chairs made of huanghuali wood, and a small but clean square table.There is a stack of snacks on the square table, and a not-so-fresh red plum blossom sticks in the white porcelain vase next to it.The pastry was brought back by Feng Zecha from a pastry shop on the street. It doesn't look very delicate, but its taste is sweet but not greasy.

"Son."

Feng Ze squeezed the fingertips of Dim Sum, and when he heard the sound, he couldn't help squinting towards the door.

Still dressed in white, his handsome and elegant figure seemed to be much taller than before. Standing in front of the door ten steps away from him, Chu Yang was standing in front of the door ten steps away from him. The winter sun hit his back, as if giving this young man Plated with a warm glow.

"It's grown taller." Feng Ze looked at him for a while, then said in a calm voice.

Little did he know that looking at each other was mutual, since that day when he was in the general's mansion, Chu Yang was full of guilt and self-blame.Seeing him again, Chu Yang could only see the straight body of the young man sitting on the square chair——

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Even though the winter clothes were heavy, his figure still appeared to be very thin.However, his slightly raised chin and raised eyebrows when he saw himself still had a haughty posture, together with the indifference and alienation that flashed in his long and narrow eyes, it made him full of deep feelings. Familiarity.

"Son."

Like a sigh, Chu Yang walked forward quickly, and slowly knelt down at the young man's feet.

"Chu Yang, do you think I will forgive you for doing this?"

There was a touch of indifference in the young man's voice, Chu Yang raised his head, but saw a soft color in those eyes that should have been indifferent.

"Chu Yang never wanted to ask for your forgiveness." Chu Yang looked directly into the young man's eyes and said word by word.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

Feng Ze almost laughed angrily at his righteousness.

Oh, my mother rescued you from the gate of hell, brought you to the mansion to feed you with food and drink for three years, but you disappeared for no reason and made him worry for three months. Someone in the house has hooked up.

Not to mention the relationship between Chu Yang and Gu Yue, but since Gu Yue disappeared and took Chu Yang away at the same time, Feng Ze felt inexplicably uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable.

So, he looked at Chu Yang who was kneeling in front of him, and he was extremely indifferent as he handed the knife over.

Chu Yang endured his oppression and knelt on the ground motionless.

Although there was a charcoal fire in the house, it was very cold in winter, but there was still a puff of air-conditioning on the ground.Although Feng Ze was angry in his heart, he still couldn't help but was reluctant to embarrass this handsome little Shuang'er.

As long as it was just a snack, Feng Ze said coldly, "Get up, you are a member of the General's Mansion after all, I dare not let you walk in here standing, but you were carried out in the end. "

He can't afford to mess with the General's Mansion.

But Chu Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, was taken aback, raised his head and said, "...What kind of people from the general's mansion? Young master, did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding?" Feng Ze raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yang looked at his expression and was suddenly a little confused, "Master, haven't you read the letter that Chu Yang sent back to you?"

"What letter?" Feng Ze frowned.

"Didn't you receive it? Impossible." Chu Yang frowned as he murmured, "Brother once told me that he was the one who specially asked someone to bring the letter back to Tianshui Town, and handed it to the university himself. In the hands of the steward."

"Give it to the steward?" Seeing that Chu Yang's expression did not seem to be fake, Feng Ze pointed his finger at the corner of the table and suddenly smiled, "Chu Yang, do you know that the steward of the house I sent him to the house as early as the day you disappeared?" Get kicked out of the house? Even if it's a lie, you have to make it up in a more tactful way. You really let me down..."

"...What?!" Chu Yang turned pale all of a sudden, with shock in his eyes, "No, why, how could it be like this."

The letters he wrote to the young master have always been handled by Shang Yun's people.He trusted Shang Yun, but he never thought that... so the senior brother would also deceive him.

Yes, but why?

Not only did he walk out of the small courtyard in a daze, the biting cold wind blew down his back, and when he returned to the Shang Mansion in a daze, Chu Yang stared at the plaque in front of the door for a long time, but he still I can't figure it out...

Why is it?

Why did Shang Yun lie to herself? !

In the small courtyard, Feng Ze absent-mindedly ate all the dim sum on the plate, patted his finger that was stained with dim sum, and ordered the servant to take the plate down.

The handsome young man was carrying the plate, and before leaving, he suddenly whispered, "Master, when Mr. Chu left just now, he seemed to be in a very bad condition..."

"Whether he's good or not is none of my business." Feng Ze cast a cold glance, and his voice was flat.

When the young servant heard the words, he immediately fell silent, not daring to mention it again.

On the other side, Gu Yue walked out of the palace wearing a court dress with a dark complexion.

The fourth prince, Chu Dan, followed him, and kept saying, "Hey, I didn't expect my father to order the marriage suddenly. I thought... the matter between you and Twelve will happen in the next year." .”

"There is no difference between years and years."

Seeing his friend's calm face, as if he had nothing to do with the bridegroom who is about to become the son-in-law, Chu Dan didn't say anything, "Why is there no difference, there are only nine days left, this married man How hasty it was! Twelve is my only direct brother, his marriage must not be so hasty!"

Seeing his agitated expression, Gu Yue couldn't help but look at Chu Dan inexplicably, "You know that there is no relationship between me and Chu Yi."

"What's the matter if you don't have feelings? You can't wrong my brother if you don't have feelings!"

After a moment of silence, Gu Yue looked at Chu Dan's excitement as if he was protecting a calf, but a handsome and elegant face appeared in front of him.His eyes darkened, he strode towards the carriage outside the palace gate, and said, "It's up to you."

The news that Gu Yue and the twelve princes were ordered by the emperor to get married as soon as possible and be conferred titles quickly spread throughout the capital after Gu Yue left the palace.

After Shang Yun heard the news, he waited at the door of Gu Yue's study.

He and Gu Yue were fateful brothers when they were on the battlefield, and they had a very good relationship. When he saw Gu Yue came back from the palace with a bad expression on his face, he just stepped forward and teased, "General , Congratulations on embracing the beauty."

Gu Yue glanced at him, and walked into the study without saying a word.

Shang Yun followed behind him, still sighing, "It's different to marry the prince. Not only will you be granted a title, but you will become a relative of the emperor in the future. Tsk, I'm really envious of a lot of people?"

"... Envious?" Suddenly, Gu Yue sneered, turned around, and looked at him indifferently, "If you are envious, then you will be this son-in-law."

"Eh?" Shang Yun was taken aback by his look, thinking of his junior brother, he quickly waved his hands with a wry smile, and refused, "Come on, my general, you know that I already have a sweetheart." After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "But it's okay, when you get married, I... I guess it will be sooner."

Gu Yue stared at Shang Yun, looked at the smile on his face, and suddenly smiled himself, "I remember that the little brother who had been separated from you for three years was also found from Tianshui Town?"

Hearing this, Shang Yun was taken aback and nodded.

Meaningfully, Gu Yue looked at Shang Yun, as if he was suddenly interested in this person, and said in a light tone, "Bring him to meet me some other day, since he was found in Tianshui Town, it is also a predestined relationship."

----

Although he had brought Chu Yang to the General's Mansion several times, to be honest, Shang Yun was not willing to let Chu Yang meet Gu Yue.

When he returned to his mansion, the servant spontaneously reported Chu Yang's itinerary to him in detail today.Still went to that person's yard alone, and returned to the mansion before noon.

However, he heard another servant say that Chu Yang's complexion was not very good, so he panicked and walked faster.

At that time Chu Yang was hiding in his room, he thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Shang Yun wanted to deceive him.

When the door was suddenly pushed open, Chu Yang's eyes were already full of vigilance when he saw Shang Yun's next moment.

Shang Yun looked at Chu Yang's flickering and avoided his eyes, couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "I heard from my servant that you don't have a good appetite for lunch... What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Chu Yang was very upset, he just turned his head away, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to Shang Yun now.

Seeing Chu Yang's attitude, Shang Yun couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and approached him, asking in a low voice, "Did you... see him today?"

Who this "he" refers to is tacitly understood by both of them.

Chu Yang didn't nod or shake his head, but just gave a faint "hmm".

A trace of ambiguity flashed in Shang Yun's eyes, "What did he tell you?"

After saying these words, the air suddenly became stagnant.

After being silent for a while, Chu Yang looked straight into Shang Yun's eyes, and suddenly asked, "...what can you say to me, my lord?"

"I thought he would embarrass you..." Shang Yun looked into Chu Yang's eyes and couldn't help feeling guilty.

Seeing his eyes dodging, Chu Yang suddenly said mockingly, "Embarrassing me? Brother, is the person who is really embarrassing me really the young master?" He asked this sentence, as if waiting for Shang Yun's answer , but before Shang Yun could speak, he said again, "When you brought me out of the Fengfu that day, did you really leave any letters? The letters I entrust you to send to the young master every month, do you really Is it sent out?"

"Naturally." Shang Yun's heart shuddered.

Chu Yang shook his head, "Who did you give the letter to?"

"All the letters were handed over to the chief steward of the Feng mansion... Could it be that Mr. Feng didn't receive it?" Shang Yun quickly discovered the disappointment in Chu Yang's words, his thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately put on a worried expression. With a slightly puzzled and unbelievable tone, he said, "Could it be that those letters... were all concealed by that servant..."

"Enough!" The usually indifferent voice suddenly became thinner, and Chu Yang's eyes were red, and he swung the porcelain bottle that was close at hand to Shang Yun's feet, "Senior Brother, do you know that the steward of the Fengfu has long since Was kicked out of the mansion by the young master? Did you—”

"How long are you going to lie to me!"
