Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Wei Chongrong also wore a mask, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed: "Besides me, could it be someone else?"

Junhua covered his mouth, giggling and laughing non-stop, but did not speak, his dark eyes were shining, as if stars had fallen into them.

Wei Chongrong looked at him quietly, his eyes became more gentle.He thought, even if he fancied it all his life, he shouldn't get tired of it.

After a while, he held Junhua's hand and said softly, "Let's go and see the lamps. I'll buy what you like."

Junhua stood still and refused to move, Wei Chongrong glanced at him puzzled, he said in a very low voice: "Brother Rong, don't you have anything to say to me?" If you take off the mask at this time, You can see that Junhua's face is already blushing.

Wei Chongrong raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood instantly, he lowered his head, put his mouth close to Junhua's ear, and said in a low but clear voice: "Little monkey, I think I like you too, just like you like me. "

Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Junhua was still extremely disturbed when he heard Wei Chongrong say this with his own ears.He froze for a moment at a loss, then suddenly reached out his hand to remove the mask, threw himself on Wei Chongrong, and kissed him on the neck.

Junhua's movements were quick, but after a little bit of water, he hurriedly backed away, looking very embarrassed.

Wei Chongrong raised his hand, took off the mask on his face, stretched out his hand to embrace Junhua, bowed his head and kissed his lips.

"Brother Rong, you..." Junhua didn't expect Wei Chongrong to act like this at all, and he was stunned.

It was a passionate and straightforward kiss. Wei Chongrong stuck his tongue in while Junhua was talking, and licked it around.Junhua has never had such an experience, and he doesn't know how to react, so he can only passively accept Wei Chongrong's wanton but gentle kiss.

The kiss ended very quickly, and before Junhua recovered, Wei Chongrong withdrew and looked at him with unsatisfied interest.

Originally, Wei Chongrong didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Junhua.However, Dongfang's fight against injustice reminded him and made him confirm that his possessive desire for Junhua is different from ordinary people, which cannot be explained by family affection and friendship.

Junhua once said that if he married someone else, he would be very sad.Wei Chongrong changed his mind, imagined the scene of Xia Junhua getting married and having children with other people, and found that it was not acceptable to him, and immediately understood his intentions.

He has a decisive personality and acts swiftly and resolutely. The same is true for his confession. Now that he has thought about it, he must speak it out without dragging his feet.

Seeing Junhua looking straight at him, with a little bewilderment in his eyes, and not speaking for a long time, Wei Chongrong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, but without any response, he patted his cheek lightly and called out in a low voice: : "Little monkey, the soul has returned..."

Junhua came to his senses, and said, "Brother Rong, is what you said true?" The change of things happened too suddenly, a bit beyond Junhua's expectations, and he couldn't believe it for a while. I'm dreaming.

Wei Chongrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he laughed and said, "Little monkey, ask yourself, when did I ever lie to you?"

Without hesitation, Jun Hua quickly shook his head.Indeed, Wei Chongrong never lied to him, not once.

Wei Chongrong smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "Can we go to see the lanterns now?"

Junhua nodded with a smile, first put on his own mask, and then helped Wei Chongrong put on his mask as well.The masks made by Wei Chongrong are the legendary sun gods and moon gods. They are also sold on the street, but they are not as exquisite as his ones. Junhua is very proud of this.

They held hands and walked slowly back along the road they had walked before.Qingjia is located in Beidi, which is far less prosperous than the cities in Guannei. Most of the lanterns sold on the street are relatively simple, just to create a festive atmosphere, but they are not exquisite and gorgeous.

Junhua looked at it all the way, but he didn't like the one he liked, but on the Qixi Festival, if he didn't buy a lantern and carry it in his hand, it seemed like something was missing.Junhua secretly thought, if there is no lantern he likes after walking the street, just take one and forget it.

When passing a very inconspicuous stall, Wei Chongrong stopped suddenly, and Junhua turned his head to look at him in puzzlement.There are very few lanterns in this stall, and the styles are also very ordinary, not as good as what they saw before, Brother Rong wanted to buy something.

Wei Chongrong bent slightly, pointed to the innermost part of the stall and said, "Old man, please give me the lamp in the corner. Yes, it is the one that is not lit, and I want it." Junhua followed him Looking in the direction of the finger, I couldn't see anything clearly.

After the old man who set up the stall knew which lamp Wei Chongrong wanted, he said to him with apology: "Young master, I'm really sorry. There is a small hole in that lamp. I don't plan to sell it. No, do you want another one?"

Wei Chongrong frowned and asked, "Do you still have the same lamp? If not, it's fine, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Wei Chongrong had a special liking for that lamp, the old man generously gave him a favor: "I'm sorry, it's gone, it's the last one, if you really like it, son, I'll give it to you, no money required. "After speaking, he took out the lamp.

It was a lantern in the shape of a monkey. A small koala monkey was holding a big fairy peach. Although the style was very simple and the workmanship was a bit rough, when Junhua saw it, he knew why Wei Chongrong insisted on it. This lamp is gone.

The old man helped them light the candle stubs in the fairy peaches, and said with a smile, "Young master, I don't know. This lantern originally had a tail. My little grandson was naughty and pulled it off. There was a hole in the back. When I went out I didn’t pay attention, I brought them here together.”

"It's okay, it's okay, just treat it as a monkey without a tail, it's quite cute." Junhua waved his hands indifferently, and smiled from ear to ear. Seeing that Wei Chongrong's hands were empty, he asked again: "Rong Brother, which lamp do you want, I will give it to you."

Wei Chongrong understood that Junhua didn't want to take advantage of the old man, so he pointed to a lotus lantern. Junhua bought it for ten renminbi, and the two held a lamp in each hand and waved at the old man. , keep going.

Walking around the corner, Junhua said he was hungry, so Wei Chongrong bought some Qiqiao fruits on the street, and the two of them ate while walking.

While eating, Jun Hua raised his finger and pointed to the front, and said in surprise, "Brother Rong, are those Xiaodongzi and Gu Tanhua?"

Gu Tanhua is none other than Gu Chuan, Wei Chongrong's best classmate in Gong Xue.Gu Chuan was a Tanhua Lang in Tai'an for six years. He came to Qingjia that year to replace Xie Qiu, who was promoted to Beijing, as the sheriff. He came a few months earlier than Wei Chongrong.

Wei Chongrong looked up, and sure enough, he saw Dongfang and Gu Chuan walking hand in hand not far away.Before he could look back, Dongfang saw them, and he turned sideways and said something to Gu Chuan, and the two of them walked towards this side.

Dongfang and Gu Chuan also wore masks, but they were so familiar that they could recognize people just by their body shape, not their faces.

"You two are lonely, but you will have fun for yourself." Wei Chongrong joked with a smile.

Gu Chuan took off his mask and sighed: "Is there any way, I can't compare with the company of a beautiful woman, but on the Qixi Festival, the official is to experience the people's feelings, and I am too embarrassed to go out alone, so I can only call the guards of the East to accompany me gone."

Hearing this, Wei Chongrong burst out laughing, took off his mask and said, "Little Gu, what you said is not authentic. I remember that when you hit Tanhua, you almost missed being caught by others. It's up to you to see." No, how can it be said that there is no one to accompany the person who invited the decree to come to celebrate."

As the saying goes, women's colleges have changed at eighteen, and the more they change, the better they look.But Wei Chongrong felt that this sentence was also applicable to some men, such as Gu Chuan.

In the past, he was obviously a chubby little chubby, with all the facial features squeezed together, cute is cute, but to say he looks good, it would be a bit against his will.Unexpectedly, when he grew up, Gu Chuan became one of the four great princes in the capital, and he was the kind that all the ladies of the family wanted to marry.

When Gu Chuanzhong was visiting Hua, Wei Chongrong was also in Yujing, and he heard a lot of rumors about him.The most exaggerated thing is that on the day of the new champion, the second place and the Tanhua Dama parade, the imperial guards in the capital were all dispatched to maintain order.

Who made the champion be an old man with white beard and hair, and the second place is a rigid and serious middle-aged man, only Gu Tanhua, young and handsome, with a personable demeanor, has aroused the enthusiastic pursuit of all the girls in the city—perhaps including some teenagers.

On the streets they walked, there were countless sachets and purses scattered, and the last time such a grand event happened was 12 years ago.Coincidentally, that person is also Tanhua, his name is Xie Qiu, and he is Wei Chongrong's cousin.

Seeing that Wei Chongrong took off his mask, Junhua also took off his mask, and asked curiously, "Brother Rong, why did Qingjia's previous eunuchs come from Tanhualang? Is this a coincidence or did His Majesty do it on purpose?"

Wei Chongrong didn't expect Junhua to ask such a question, so he couldn't help being stunned, and then smiled: "There is a coincidence, but there is also an inevitability."

Lingzhou is a place of bitter cold, if the imperial court does not offer extra preferential treatment, no one would be willing to come here to be an official.Therefore, during the period of the first emperor, many subsidy policies for Lingzhou officials were introduced, with salary in the second place, and the point is that the future official career will be much smoother.

Qingjia's first sheriff was Xie Qiu, and her second was Gu Chuan. However, Tanhua's background was not enough to get the official position of Qingjia sheriff. Their respective family backgrounds also played a huge role. As a result, Xie Qiu is the only son of Princess Yuankang, and Gu Chuan is the eldest son of Gu Yu, Duke of Qi.Another point is that with the strength of Xie Qiu and Gu Chuan, it is not unusual for them to be among the top in the imperial examination. It just so happens that they are all Tanhua, which is inseparable from their handsome appearance. Since ancient times, Tanhua has produced teenagers.

Jun Hua nodded with a half understanding, and didn't ask any more questions.Gu Chuan picked up the mask again and put it on again, and said with a light smile, "With such a beautiful day and beautiful scenery, I won't disturb Shi Ziye's elegant mood, excuse me."

"Go, continue to experience your people's sentiments." Wei Chongrong said and waved outward.

Gu Chuan bowed his hands and said goodbye, and called Dongfang by the way.Dongfang never took off his mask from the beginning to the end, so it was convenient to leave at this time, he directly cupped his hands at Wei Chongrong and Junhua, and followed Gu Chuan.

When the two of them walked away, Jun Hua exclaimed: "Brother Rong, did you notice that Xiao Dongzi didn't say a word today."

Wei Chongrong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "He will go deep twice from time to time, and he will be fine tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about him."

"Oh." Junhua responded casually, and dragged Wei Chongrong into the alley selling barbecue. Neither of them put on their masks.

A quarter of an hour later, Junhua came out of the alley with a bunch of kebabs and walked in front, and Wei Chongrong followed behind with two lanterns.Junhua ate while walking, occasionally feeding Wei Chongrong with twigs, and the two ate happily.

On the way back home, Jun Hua thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Brother Rong, have you ever thought about marrying me?" He asked very calmly, without any hint of shyness.

Wei Chongrong was stunned, thought for a moment and then said: "Little monkey, don't worry about this matter. First of all, you are still young, so we don't need to rush for a while; second, my father didn't know about it, so he definitely didn't give it to me. Prepare dowry gifts and the like; last, and most importantly, your father doesn’t know yet, do you think that if King Changning found out about us, would he kill me with a knife?” Ever since Junhua was born, Ji Xin Seeing Wei Chongrong became very unpleasant, because his precious son seemed to be closer to Wei Chongrong than to him.

After hearing what Wei Chongrong said, Junhua frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Brother Rong, it doesn't matter, if the father really wants to chop you with a knife, I will stand in front of you, and he won't dare to chop you." gone."

Wei Chongrong curled his lips speechlessly, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to chop it up, and it would be even more unpleasant to just look at me.

Seeing that Wei Chongrong's face was still grim, Junhua comforted him and said: "Actually, as long as daddy nods to my marriage, my father will not refuse to agree. As for my daddy, you ask His Royal Highness King Qin to send someone to him Propose marriage, he will definitely agree."

"That's what you said. I'll write a letter to my dad when I get back and tell him about our affairs." In Wei Chongrong's view, there is no need to worry about his and Junhua's marriage, and it will not be too late to prepare for it in two years. We are together, we still have to tell Wei Zhao.

Junhua laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, he rushed over and hugged Wei Chongrong, and kissed him on both sides of the face, causing Wei Chongrong to scream: "Little monkey, all the oil on your hands has rubbed on my clothes!" up."

"Then I'll clean it up for you tomorrow." Jun Hua didn't care, and simply wiped Wei Chongrong twice.

Wei Chongrong shook his head helplessly, he had nothing to do with Junhua's occasional childishness, but his eyes were filled with doting.

The next day, Wei Chongrong did not ask Junhua to wash his clothes, because he felt that if he handed them over to the laundry lady, there might be room for his clothes to be saved, but if he gave them to Junhua, he might never wash them again. The dress is out of sight.

However, he did not forget to write a letter to Wei Zhao. Whether he can pass the test of Junqing and Ji Xin in the future depends on his father.

Four days later, Wei Chongrong received Wei Zhao's letter from Feige.He was still a little puzzled at the time, his letter must not have been delivered yet.

After Wei Chongrong read the letter, his face turned pale instantly.There were only twelve words in the letter, "Longevity Feast, East Palace was assassinated, life is in danger."
