A bucket of Jiangshan [Rebirth]

"Miss Fang, go slowly!"

The shopkeeper raised his voice, causing the two people who were still struggling awkwardly to bounce their hands away like an electric shock.It turned out that Fang Yuyan had finished shopping for jewelry and was about to get into the carriage.

Yan Shulou glared at Du Mingqian, then turned his head and winked at the beggar who was squatting beside Fang Yuyan, the beggar understood, went up to pester Fang Yuyan, and asked her to reward him with some money.

Fang Yuyan was also a kind-hearted person. Seeing the beggar in ragged clothes and skinny as dry wood, she couldn't bear it and asked someone to donate some money to him.But the beggar got the money and hadn't left yet, so he kept pestering Fang Yuyan, and said contemptuously that Fang Yuyan is so rich, but who knows that she is a stingy person. , leading her straight to the road.Poor Fang Yuyan, she came out today with only a maidservant and a coachman of some age, neither old nor weak could help, Fang Yuyan was so wronged that she shed tears on the spot.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Yan Shulou gave Qi'er a wink, and Qi'er immediately spat at Fang Yuyan pretendingly, and walked away in a hurry.At the same moment, a wild horse at the end of the long street suddenly broke free from the rein and galloped forward. The audience fled in surprise, while Fang Yuyan was still in a trance, and when she heard the sound approaching, her face turned pale with fright. , both feet stared at the spot in disobedience, even the maid could not move.

Yan Shulou tipped his toes, and was about to rush towards Fang Yuyan, but who knew that he was faster than the people beside him, only the corners of his eyes turned white, and when he came back to his senses, Du Mingqian had already nimbly embraced Fang Yuyan in his arms, leading him Dodged the runaway horse.

When a strange fragrance came out of his bosom, Du Mingqian was taken aback and yelled in his heart.Just now, he was afraid that Yan Shulou would be in danger, so he rushed out before him. He completely forgot how he, a frail and sick person, could have such agility and move one step faster than Yan Shulou...

Forget it, people have been saved, and then it will be enough to find an excuse to fool around.Du Mingqian stood firm, gently pushed the person in his arms away, straightened his clothes, and bowed politely: "Miss, I'm sorry."

Fang Yuyan was shocked, but she just glanced at Du Mingqian blankly, and then she was amazed: "You..." His eyes were like spring water, his lips were like vermilion, and even his handsome self was astonished.

Seeing Fang Yuyan's obsessed look, Du Mingqian sighed, thinking about his face, it really attracted him, but maybe it had another effect.He raised his eyes and slanted towards Yan Shulou who was rushing over, and sure enough, he saw Yan Shulou's angry face, staring at Fang Yuyan with a huge fire in his eyes.

It was rare to see Yan Shulou's eating, Du Mingqian felt a little secretly happy, and deliberately smiled and said a few more words with Fang Yuyan, which caused Fang Yuyan, who had just fallen in love, to blush completely.

Yan Shulou pulled Du Mingqian away from Fang Yuyan, and reprimanded angrily: "Mingyu! If you rush out at this time, do you want to die?!"

Du Mingqian curled his lips, thinking that this was not your idea.Thinking in his heart, he pressed his hands on Yan Shulou's shoulders with wit and ingratiation, and said flatteringly: "Isn't this minister doing well? Ah, the minister's clothes are dirty, look, my lord..."

The white clothes were stained with a thin layer of dust due to the large movements. Yan Shulou frowned, and regardless of his purpose of "saving people", he took Du Mingqian's hand and walked in the direction of the palace: "Go quickly, go back and see See if you're injured!" Three steps combined into two, and he walked cleanly in no time.He didn't want to stay here any longer and let this woman see his princess.

Du Mingqian smiled softly, turned his hand back to Yan Shulou's, and clasped his fingers tightly together without any gaps, and walked away facing the red sun.

Behind him, Miss Fang Yuyan was still staring at Du Mingqian's back in ecstasy, and murmured, "Xiaoyu, who is this young master who saved me?"

Xiaoyu couldn't come up with an answer, she persuaded Fang Yuyan a few words, and the two went back home.

Fang Yuyan is sixteen years old, the age at which love begins. All these years, because her father has not picked a good son-in-law, and he is afraid that she will choose a man who is not good, so he has always raised her deep in his boudoir, and even if he goes out, he often rides in a carriage. , so that she seldom contacts men, so when she meets a handsome gentleman today, she gets confused.

After returning home, Fang Yuyan was still listless, not even able to call her father.Fang Qianyun was so strange that after asking, she asked again: "Father, do you know a person named Mingyu?"

Fang Qianyun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, expressing that he didn't recognize it—Ming Yu was Du Mingqian's character, and anyone who was close to him didn't know it, so it was normal that Fang Qianyun didn't know it.

Fang Yuyan went back to her room in a daze, and didn't answer Fang Qianyun's questioning again.

On the other side, back to the palace, Yan Shulou took Du Mingqian's arm, looked him up and down, and asked carefully: "Mingyu, where does it hurt you?"

Du Mingqian smiled indifferently, and pressed Yan Shulou's hand back: "What can I do? On the contrary, you, the prince, went out in a hurry and didn't think about your own safety."

"Mingyu, are you concerned about me?"

Du Mingqian held the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a secretive smile: "I am concerned that Miss Fang will be hurt by the wild horse arranged by the prince."

Yan Shulou lost his temper in an instant: "You don't care about me?!"

Seeing Yan Shulou's staring eyes, Du Mingqian felt inexplicably happy: "Miss Fang is so beautiful. As a man, it's normal for me to care about her. Besides, the original intention of the prince is to save people. As the prince's concubine, what's wrong with saving people before the prince?"

Yan Shulou was blocked, he hesitated for a while, but couldn't say what he liked, he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left: "It's a pity that I still care about you so much, but you care about others!"

The fun was almost over, Du Mingqian also stopped playing, stepped forward and hugged Yan Shulou from behind, and apologized with a smile: "I also care about the prince, so I will go to save people first. The prince is also, your idea I don't want to tell my ministers, what should I do if there is an emergency in this matter?"

"What could happen!" Yan Shulou was still angry, broke free from Du Mingqian's arms, and said indignantly, "I have made all the arrangements. When I save Fang Yuyan, she will owe me a favor. In the future, I will approach Zhongzhong Wouldn't it be much easier to write the order?"

Du Mingqian thought about it carefully, and what Yan Shulou said made some sense, but since he had already saved someone, he had to find a reasonable excuse for what he did.

"My lord, based on your status, why do you want to save a woman you have never met? If Zhong Shuling thinks of you, wouldn't he think that you did it on purpose? And I am a mere princess who is not involved in government affairs. But no worries."

Yan Shulou was stunned for a moment, Du Mingqian's concern was indeed good, it was his own lack of consideration: "So, you saved her because of me?"

Du Mingqian just smiled and said nothing.

Sweetness overflowed from the tip of his heart, Yan Shulou turned into a smile, holding Du Mingqian's face, and took a sip: "Mingyu, you are really my good assistant!"

Yan Shulou was full of smiles, and inadvertently swept the other hairpin on Du Mingqian's head, and found that this hairpin was probably old and looked a little old.Think about it, since the two got married, he didn't seem to have given Du Mingqian anything other than "heartwarming", so why not take this opportunity and give him a hairpin.Thinking like this, he called someone to bring up some men's accessories given by the emperor some time ago, and after carefully selecting for a long time, he picked out a hairpin made of jade. The cold touch perfectly matched Du Mingqian's fair complexion.

Yan Shulou took off Du Mingqian's original hairpin, and put the hosta on it with his own hands. Unfortunately, because he didn't wear the hairpin, he moved clumsily, and he messed up Du Mingqian's hair in just three or two strokes. It's all gone.

"Tsk, why is your hair so slippery! Restless!"

Du Mingqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to coil up the hair by himself, holding the coiled hair in both hands, and asked Yan Shulou to put the hairpin in.

"It's smooth this time, good boy!"

Du Mingqian was full of smiles, and pulled Yan Shulou's hand with downcast eyes, and inserted five fingers together along the joints of his fingers. His palm was hot, and his heart was like a furnace.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Du Mingqian was still sleeping peacefully curled up in the bed, when Yan Shulou, who woke up early to go to court, woke him up.

"Ming Yu Ming Yu, get up and help me!"

Drowsy, Du Mingqian woke up in a daze, saw Yan Shulou's messy hair, and burst out laughing: "My lord, what are you doing? How did you mess up your hair like this?"

Yan Shulou glared at Du Mingqian, and stuffed the hairpin into his hand: "Help me!"

At first glance, this hairpin was actually the old hairpin that Yan Shulou walked away with yesterday. Du Mingqian's heart brightened. It turned out that Yan Shulou wanted to use the hairpin he had used before, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use it, so he made a fuss. Wake yourself up and help him.

Du Mingqian smiled knowingly, put on a pair of clogs, led Yan Shulou to the dressing table, took a comb and carefully grabbed Yan Shulou's messy hair, and helped him comb the messy hair.

"Hiss, take it easy, it hurts!" Yan Shulou yelled after being pulled to the scalp, and after a long while seemed to realize that his tone was too aggressive, he softened again, "Be gentle, be gentle..."

"I'm afraid of pain, and I even made my hair look like this. Isn't Yan Xin here? Why don't you let him comb it for you?" Du Mingqian softened his movements and continued to Yan Shu in a slow manner. Comb your hair.

Yan Shulou muttered, and said reluctantly: "I want to comb by myself."

"Then why does the prince still want to comb?" Du Mingqian froze, looking with satisfaction at Yan Shulou's blushing face after this question.

"You are my princess, you are me, and I am you. If you comb for me, I will comb myself!"

Du Mingqian gently pressed his lips against Yan Shulou's hair, the faint fragrance of hair overflowed, fascinated his eyes, his voice became hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "So, if I serve the prince, it means that the prince is serving the minister." ?”

"Huh?" Yan Shulou was very suspicious. After thinking for a moment, he felt that the words were reasonable, and nodded, "Yeah." This should be calm, but the evil fire in Du Mingqian's heart was burning: "My lord, this is your own mouth." As I said, at that time... when the minister serves the prince, the prince should not blame the minister."

"What's your fault?"

"It's nothing." Putting the hairpin in his hair, Du Mingqian shaved the broken hair on his sideburns, and with a deep smile in his eyes, he changed the topic: "My lord, you are going to court today, goodbye Hairpin, how to wear a crown?"

"What's the hurry! I'll change back when I get on the carriage in a while, hurry up, teach me how to comb."

Du Mingqian's dexterous hands fiddled with the messy hair, and it was quickly tidied up. Yan Shulou looked at his hair triumphantly, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I have learned it. Next time I will help you." comb!"

"..." Du Mingqian looked at the broken hair on the ground that was torn off by Yan Shulou, suddenly his scalp tightened, and he became worried about his hair.

After Yan Shulou left, Du Mingqian didn't feel sleepy anymore.Seeing that it was still early, I went to the dining room and told the chef what Yan Shulou liked to eat when I went out yesterday, and asked him to learn how to make it for Yan Shulou to taste.

After Yan Shu went downstairs, he would stay at Yan Zhaoqi's place until noon before returning, so Du Mingqian didn't have much energy staying at the mansion alone, thinking that it was still early, after dinner, he walked slowly to get rid of his drunkenness. Look at the business.

Looking around all the way, I bought something new when I saw it, and waited for Yan Shulou to return home, and let him play with it.He looked around with great interest, and when he didn't pay attention, he bumped into a woman in a trance.

After supporting the woman, Du Mingqian asked apologetically, "Miss, are you alright?"

The woman raised her head abruptly when she heard the sound, and said in surprise, "Young Master, it's you!" Blush climbed up her face, her eyes lowered, her hair drooped, and she showed the coquettish attitude of a shy woman in a half-covered manner.

Du Mingqian's head turned into two big ones. This woman is none other than Fang Yuyan who was rescued by him yesterday.

It turned out that after yesterday's farewell, Fang Yuyan never forgot about Du Mingqian, thinking that she still owed him a favor, she took her maidservant and went out secretly, followed the place where they met yesterday, but happened to be opposite to the direction Du Mingqian came from. Du Mingqian bumped into it.

"Young master, thank you for your life-saving grace yesterday. I have not had time to repay you in the future. My little girl is here to thank you."

Du Mingqian didn't want to get entangled with her, so he took a few steps back and said with a light smile: "It's okay, it's just a matter of little effort. Did the girl get hurt yesterday?"

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."

"If that's the case, then..."

"My lord's life-saving grace, my little girl, is unforgettable. My lord is not something in the pool. If you give me an ordinary gift in return for your kindness, you will ruin my lord. If you don't mind, could you please move to a nearby restaurant and let my little girl do it?" Dong, invite the young master to drink to repay the young master for saving his life."

Jing Chao's folk customs are civilized, and it is not uncommon for women to invite men to drink, but Du Mingqian has no intention of entangled with Fang Yuyan, who has burning eyes, and he smiled stiffly and moved the corners of his lips: "No need, girl is interested, I can't drink."

But Fang Yuyan didn't let him go, she boldly took a step forward, blocking Du Mingqian's path, her twisted handkerchief showed her timidity: "My lord, how can I not repay you for saving my life, if you can't drink, Then let's drink tea."

Du Mingqian sighed loudly. He would lose face if he didn't appreciate the invitation. Thinking of Yan Shulou, whose plan failed due to his own fault yesterday, his heart shuddered, and he nodded in response to Fang Yuyan's request: "Miss is so kind, how can Du A certain person was disrespectful."

So, the two picked the nearest Zuifeng Tower and entered.When they arrived at the place where Du Mingqian usually sat, he ordered some side dishes, poured some pots of tea, and chatted softly.

Du Mingqian didn't want to have a deep friendship with Fang Yuyan, but when he thought of Yan Shulou's purpose, he had to show a stiff smile and say a few words in a flattering manner.Du Mingqian was knowledgeable, insightful, and conversant, but just a few words made Fang Yuyan's heart drunk.

Fang Yuyan couldn't help asking: "Mr. Du has such knowledge, why doesn't he become an official and seek benefits for the people?"

The corner of Du Mingqian's mouth was raised, and there was a calculating arc: "I am not in good health, and my family does not allow me to be an official, so as not to be too tired."

"So...that's really a pity," Fang Yuyan's eyes darkened, and her voice was deep and mixed with a sigh, "If the son is an official, it will definitely benefit the people of the world."

"The girl is too famous. Du is just an ordinary person. If you can benefit the common people, it's good if you don't worry your family. Besides," Du Mingqian's eyes flashed, "my father and brothers are all officials in the palace. If I go on an official career again, wouldn’t it attract criticism. Being an official, with Du’s body, Du doesn’t dare to expect extravagance, and can only look to my father and brother, hoping that they can carry on my ambition and benefit the people. It’s just a pity, Du This wish of a certain person may not be fulfilled until death."

"What do you say, sir?

"Alas," Du Mingqian lamented, three parts acting and seven parts sincerity, "my father and brother are honest people and don't know how to flatter them. They have been in this officialdom for many years, but they have never been able to climb to a high position and be appreciated by others."

Fang Yuyan looked at Du Mingqian's injured expression infatuatedly, with a mournful expression, like a tender flower thanking him, looking at him, he felt sad for the spring and autumn.Everything was on her mind, Mr. Du avoided her again and again, if she could make her father promote Mr. Du's elder brother, would Mr. Du be interested in him?

Seeing Fang Yuyan thoughtful and knowing that he had achieved his goal, Du Mingqian smiled meaningfully, raised his teacup, and paid respects to Fang Yuyan: "Forget it, let's not talk about such unhappy things, come on, girl, let's go!" Ask Du to replace the wine with tea, and offer you a toast, girl please."

"My lord, please be polite, my lord."

The fragrance of tea was leisurely, unknowingly it had passed with time, and when it came to the next court, Du Mingqian was afraid that he would be blamed by Yan Shulou, so he took the first step to leave.And Fang Yuyan sent him out of the restaurant, staring at his back for a moment, her heart fluctuating like duckweed.When I saw him today, except for the young master's surname Du from his self-proclaimed name, I couldn't get any other information. It can be seen that this man has a good speech and will not deliberately please, but he is also a gentleman with courtesy. give him a hand...

While in a trance, Fang Yuyan suddenly bumped into someone head-on.
