Qin Se Luan Feng

After all the people had dispersed, Fuquan said softly to everyone: "Everyone must be careful in what they do and say these two days. Although this family has taken us in, it is still unknown whether it is an enemy or a friend."

"Second brother, don't worry too much. Except for Mingzhu and Suo'etu, almost no one knows about our trip. They only know that we are the sons of your family, and we won't be as caring as you." Xuanye lazily Leaning on the rocking chair, he didn't care.

Fuquan frowned, and said: "That's not wrong, but when you go out, it's always better to be more careful."

As if he had never heard of it, Xuan Ye stood up from the reclining chair, walked leisurely to the door of the thatched hut, and said: "The old Shaoling's 'The Song of the Autumn Wind is Broken by the Thatched Hut' in the Tang Dynasty is not an exaggeration. With beautiful green water and a small courtyard, Hu is not at ease."

"Hehe, it's just that the girl from this small family may not be too tricky. Look at this bandage." Cao Yin raised his leg slightly, and pointed to the gauze tied around his leg.

"Pfft, this isn't a bandage, it's a bound foot." Li Dequan couldn't help interjecting.

Xuanye couldn't help laughing, and joked: "After all, it's Xiaojiabiyu, she's used to being rough, Brother Cao, don't make it difficult for her to compare her with those beautiful girls from rich families."

"What Xiaojiabiyu, what a rough habit, you are talking nonsense!" Mu Min came in with the meal, and said angrily to Xuan Ye, "How do you know that I am not the lady of a rich family? Let me tell you, I, Ama, used to be As the Deputy Counselor of the Xianghuang Banner, I can be regarded as half a lady."

Fu Quanquan froze, and tentatively said: "Just now I heard your aunt say that his surname is Zhang, but I have heard that there was a deputy commander named Zhang in the Xianghuang Banner Army. It seems that his name is Zhang Haikuan. I don't know if it is Miss Zhang. father."

Mu Min smugly said: "You don't have to ask, of course it's me, Ama. I have made a lot of military exploits, so it's not surprising that you have heard of it."

"It can't be such a coincidence that I met him here, no wonder he looks so familiar." Fuquan said to himself.

Mu Min put the food on the table, squinted at Xuan Ye and said, "I can put the food here, don't say that I, Zhang Mumin, are stingy."

"Your name is Mu Min? It's really a good name..." Xuan Ye said casually.

Mu Min was the first to refute: "What's the matter, can't you?"

"Hehe, of course." Xuan Ye sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and said, "I... just happened to be hungry, everyone, please sit down and eat."

Cao Yin limped and sat down at the table, and asked Mu Min, "Miss Zhang, why hasn't Brother Nalan come back?"

"Isn't he here?" Mu Min pointed to Rong Ruo behind him.

"Brother Cao, drink the medicine while it's hot. Miss Yaozhang has been suffering for an hour." Rong Ruo handed the medicine bowl to Cao Yin, and said to Xuan Ye, "Young Master Huang, take it slowly." Then turn around and go out.

"Brother Nalan, where are you going without lunch?" Xuan Ye asked suspiciously.

Rong Ruo turned around and smiled lightly: "I'm walking around, the weather is hot today, I don't have much appetite, everyone please take it easy."

Fu Quan said to Xuan Ye: "I don't know if the third brother has noticed that there is something wrong with Brother Nalan these days."

"No, I saw that he came all morning and didn't say a few words. It's strange that he was dull." As soon as the words fell, Mu Min turned and left.

Fuquan stared at Rong Ruo's back, and said to himself: "It's not surprising, today is already April 23." After a long sigh, Fuquan sat down with everyone.

The rain last night seemed to have not yet penetrated. At sunset, there was another dense drizzle in the sky, which turned into a torrential rain in an instant.

"Oops!" Ruoxin yelled and rushed out from the back room, "Ama, Mu Min, come out and collect the herbs."

Zhang Haikuan fetched two coir raincoats, threw one of them to Mu Min, put the other on Ruoxin, and put the herbs on the sieve into a sack in the rain.

"Ama, you'll catch a cold like this." Ruoxin took off the coir raincoat and put it on Haikuan's body. When the heavy rain hit her body like a waterfall, she felt a biting pain. Ruoxin gritted her teeth and tidied up the shelf neatly. herbs.

Rong Ruo ran out from the side room, holding a coir raincoat in his hand, and said to Ruo Xin: "Miss Zhang, put it on quickly, the girl is thin and can't get wet in the rain."

Ruoxin smiled gratefully and took the coir raincoat.Rong Ruo didn't enter the door, but walked to the shelf and asked, "But put the same kind of herbs in cloth bags."

"Young Master Nalan, let's go back to the house quickly. We can clean up here. If Young Master gets sick, we will feel really sorry."

"It's okay, it's not that easy to catch a cold." Rong Ruo echoed a few words without stopping.

Hearing the sound of rain, Fuquan also came out from inside.Holding an umbrella in each hand, holding it above the heads of Ruoxin and Mu Min.While tying up the bag, Mu Min complained, "I remember that only one of you was bitten by a snake, so what about the rest?"

"Don't worry, girl, I'll come right here." Li Dequan held up an umbrella for Zhang Haikuan from behind, and said with a playful smile, "Didn't I come here?"

Mu Min dissatisfied: "I didn't mention you, you are just a small servant, I'm talking about the idler inside."

The "idleman" inside naturally refers to Xuan Ye. Through the candlelight, Mu Min saw that he was sitting by the window drinking tea leisurely, watching the busy people outside the house like watching a play.Mu Min was very annoyed, and shouted at Xuan Ye: "You think you are really the guest we invited, and you don't know how to come out to help."

Zhang Haikuan reprimanded: "Mu Min, don't hold back your words!"

"Girl, don't be surprised, my younger brother is weak and can't get wet." Fuquan quickly smoothed things over with a smile.

After hearing this, Xuan Ye laughed at Cao Yin and said, "I have become an idler."

Cao Yin echoed: "Brother Huang Xuan is an idler, it's just that Miss Mu Min didn't know about it."

"Hehe, this Zhang Haikuan is pretty good at naming things. Mu Min, you can tell by the name that she is an untouchable girl. In my opinion, that sister knows some etiquette, but people in the mountains are always gentle and proud. .”

Fuquan joked: "The old ancestor said you were romantic, but he was not wrong at all."

Seeing that Fuquan came in dripping with water, Xuan Ye quickly took clean clothes from the bag, handed them to Fuquan, and said with a smile, "There is a saying in ancient times, 'If you don't flirt, a young man will be wasted', but the ancestors really wronged me."

"By the way, the two masters think that Miss Ruoxin looks familiar." Cao Yin said.

Xuan Ye's face darkened, Cao Yin quickly changed his words: "Oh, my dear friends."

"You don't think it if you don't say it. After you mention it, I think she really looks like a person." Xuan Ye lowered his head and thought.

"Like, but not like." Fuquan murmured, his eyes fixed.

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "That's right, I'm afraid there are only those eyes."

"Heh... indeed, only those eyes." Fuquan and Xuanye talked to each other, Cao Yin looked blank, and asked: "What does it look like? I wonder who you two are talking about?"

Xuan Ye reminded: "Brother Cao, do you know what day tomorrow is?"

"Tomorrow, April 24." Cao Yin thought for a while and suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember."

"I didn't expect a year to pass so soon." Xuan Ye was a little disappointed, then looked outside the door, and asked, "Hey, why don't you see Brother Nalan come back?"

"I'm here." Rong Ruo walked in drenched, followed by Li Dequan, holding a jug of wine in his hand.Rong Ruo didn't care about the dampness and cold at all, he walked up to Fuquan with a smile and said, "I specially ordered a jug of wine from Zhang Haikuan, it was just raining, let's drink a glass of wine to get rid of the cold."

After Rong Ruo changed his clothes, Li Dequan filled the glasses for the four of them one by one. Before Xuan Ye could make a move, Rong Ruo had already drank the wine in one gulp, and then drank a few more.When Fuquan was about to persuade him, Rong Ruo suddenly leaned over and fell to the ground.

"Brother Nalan!"

boom……

"Miss Zhang!"

It lasted all night, Rong Ruo only woke up at dawn.Sitting up from the couch, she felt groggy, Rong Ruo shook her head, put on her coat and got off the couch.Rong Ruo took out a stack of paper manuscripts from the bag, and pulled out the short flute.Just as he was about to go out, Zhang Haikuan walked in from outside the house and asked doubtfully, "Young Master Nalan's fever hasn't subsided yet, where are you going?"

Rong Ruo smiled kindly, and said, "I'll just walk around here, and Doctor Zhang can do his own work."

Zhang Haikuan waved his hands and smiled: "Hey, Doctor Zhang, he's just a villager."

"By the way, Doctor Zhang asked for altar wine yesterday, please accept the money." Rong Ruo took out a silver coin from his waist and handed it to Zhang Haikuan.

Zhang Haikuan wondered: "Young master doesn't dislike the water wine brewed at home. How can I accept this money?"

Rong Ruo took the medicine bowl in Zhang Haikuan's hand, drank the medicine juice in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Put it away, Doctor Lao Zhang is here." After saying that, Rong Ruo went out.

Zhang Haikuan shook his head helplessly, put the silver ingot on the case, accidentally caught a glimpse of the gold brush on the case, and couldn't help trembling his fingers.

"Hey, where's Brother Nalan?" Xuan Ye and Fu Hui were walking back, seeing that the couch was empty, they immediately became nervous.

Zhang Haikuan didn't go far, seeing the two of them coming back, he hurriedly said: "Master Nalan said he was going outside for a walk, you don't have to worry about it."

Fuquan nodded, and said in a consulting tone: "If Doctor Zhang is not busy, why don't you come with us to the yard, so we can taste the tea we brought from our hometown."

"Young masters, please." Zhang Haikuan was half-frightened, half-frightened, and dealt with it carefully.

Xuan Ye ordered Li Dequan to go back to the house to fetch tea, Zhang Haikuan deliberately pushed Mu Min away, fetched boiling water from the stove in the yard, and put him on the side of the stone table.Fuquan personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Haikuan, pushed it to him and said, "Doctor Zhang, try it, this is the fragrant tea we brought from our hometown."

Zhang Haikuan looked a little apprehensive, took a sip from his teacup, and suddenly frowned, looking at the two of them in surprise. "May I ask if the two sons are from the capital?" Zhang Haikuan asked.

"Exactly." Xuan Ye unfolded the folding fan, and purposely turned the painted side to face Zhang Haikuan.

"This..." Seeing the seal on the fan, Zhang Haikuan's eyes widened, and then hurriedly knelt down to salute, "The emperor is not the only one here, please forgive the grass people for their offense."

Fuquan raised his hand and ordered him to stand up, and said, "Deputy Counselor Zhang please get up quickly, I don't need to salute when I go out, not to mention that those who don't know are innocent."

Zhang Haikuan stood up and said with great fear, "Young Master is called Cao Minzhang, Deputy Counselor, may I ask you, is he Prince Yu?"

"Vice Counselor Zhang said we are Mr. Huang."

Zhang Haikuan looked nervous, neither standing nor sitting.Fuquan lowered his voice and said, "We have something to ask, and I hope Deputy Counselor Zhang will tell you the truth."

Zhang Haikuan bowed his head and said: "Prince Yu, please tell me, the grass people will know everything."

"The former leader of the Xianghuang Banner, Tu Ge, was executed for embezzling military pay. At that time, Deputy Chief Zhang was also implicated. Although I know you are innocent, I don't know whether Tuge really participated in this matter."

Zhang Haikuan let out a long sigh, and said: "Tug's participation in the collar was really wronged. At that time, he was someone else's scapegoat only because of solid evidence."

"Who is the instigator?"

"Caomin dares to ask the emperor to forgive Caomin's innocence."

Xuan Ye said: "But it's okay to say, tell me everything you know."

"It's the current leader of Ahaz."

Fuquan was amazed: "It's actually Ahhazi, who really complied with the phrase 'Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts', it's in vain that I tried my best to reuse him..."

After a storm, it was a sunny day, the sun was soft and bright.Ruoxin spread the herbs that were snatched up last night and dried them in the sieve one by one. She raised her head inadvertently, and found a person squatting in the distance in the backyard, with a faint flame burning beside her, and the white smoke that floated up was accompanied by a little haze.Puzzled, Ruoxin approached a few steps quietly, and saw that he was throwing the manuscripts of poems in his hand into the fire one by one.

Ruoxin held her breath, her heart twitched, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Curiosity prompted her to move forward slowly, and only when she got closer did she realize that the man was Rong Ruo.Ruoxin was planning to leave quietly, but Rong Ruo stood up abruptly, the melancholy sound of Xiao fluttered in the empty mountain forest, Ruoxin stopped involuntarily.

The sound of the flute is free and easy, unrestrained, but it is vaguely accompanied by bursts of worry, such as resentment and admiration, such as weeping and complaining.As soon as the song is played, the sound of the flute will stop, and the lingering sound in the empty mountain forest will linger and linger.Putting away the short flute, Rong Ruo felt someone behind him, but he didn't turn around, but quietly looked into the distance: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be a year already."

"Long lovesickness, long lovesickness. If you ask how long lovesickness has been, unless you meet each other. Long lovesickness, long lovesickness. If you want to say who lovesickness is like, shallow lovers don't know. (Note: This word comes from Yan Jidao's "Long Lovesickness".) Unexpectedly, Mr. Nalan could blend the tenderness of "Long Lovesickness" with the roughness of this mountain forest."

Hearing it was a female voice, Rong Ruo turned around, cupped his fists and said, "I don't know if it's Miss Zhang, I'm really rude."

"What's the impoliteness? I should be the one to say that I'm being impolite. I've disturbed Mr. Nalan's mood." Ruoxin walked forward with a smile, seeing the ashes of paper scattered all over the ground, she asked, " Is Mr. Nalan paying homage to his deceased?"

Rong Ruo just smiled and said nothing, picked up a branch and extinguished the sparks on the ground, and then said: "Miss Zhang, are there any gardenias around here?"

"There are none around here, but there are patches of gardenias growing down the mountain."

"I don't know if Miss Zhang is willing to be a guide for a while?"

Ruoxin nodded, smiled politely and said, "Young Master Nalan, please come with me."

Rong Ruo followed Ruoxin through the dense forest and walked all the way down the mountain. When approaching the bottom of the mountain, she suddenly heard the sound of ticking from the leaves on both sides.

"Oops, it seems to be raining." Ruoxin spread her palms, and some raindrops hit her hands.

Rong Ruo was full of apology and said: "It's good, I'm afraid I can't even find a place to hide from the rain in this mountain, and the girl came out with me."

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Nalan will follow me." Saying that, Ruoxin left Rong Ruo and quickly ran to the valley.

Rong Ruo hurriedly followed Ruo Xin, and said, "Miss Zhang, it's rainy and slippery, it's better not to wander around?"

"Follow me, I'm sure you're right." Looking back, Ruoxin was already drenched.
