so long

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, Dongming City was a bustling scene, and the city gate opened at Chenshi looked extremely solemn in the soft light of the morning.

There are endless streams of tourists in the bustling city, whether in rough linen clothes or blue shirts, everyone has more or less the pride unique to Dongming City people. An ordinary-looking man about 30 years old got off his horse, handed the reins to Xiao Er, and entered the teahouse by himself.

"Serve a pot of good tea!" The man said simply, and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Xiao Er moved very quickly, quickly wiped the table clean, brought a pot of tea to the man, and said to the man while pouring tea, "Your tea, please take it easy."

The man nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Little Er, do you know how to get to Ning Mansion?"

"Ning Mansion?" Xiao Er looked at the man in surprise, paused, and said, "The guest officer is talking about Master Ning Jingyao's Ning Mansion?"

"Yeah." The man was quite helpless, but his eyes were still bright, as if he mentioned the person who excited him the most, "Yes! Exactly! I was a resident in Ning Mansion for a year, and then I traveled around. Seven years have passed, and the current Dongming City is much more prosperous than before, and the roads have changed a lot, can you tell me how to get to Ningfu?"

Xiao Er showed the original expression, but then sighed, and said regretfully: "Guest officer, you have traveled for seven years and haven't returned, if you want to return to Ningfu as a guest, it's okay, but... "

"how?"

"The current Ning Mansion is no longer headed by Lord Ning, but by Young Master Ning Chongyun." The second child seemed to recall the man who was the most magnificent and talented person in the world back then, with a look of surprise but it was fleeting, " Because Master Ning suffered from dementia five years ago! He is no longer the same as before..."

"What?!" The cup in the man's hand fell back to the table, making a clear collision sound, and splashed the tea on the table, "No... no way?"

"Hey... I don't want to believe the villain either! But it's the truth..." Before Xiao Er finished speaking, another customer yelled for Xiao Er to greet him. Xiao Er bowed down to the man apologetically, and went to Greeting guests.

Later, the man inquired about the affairs of the Ning Mansion from a few kind people in the teahouse, and all he got was the story of the one night master Ning who was once a virtuous corporal and had a lot of customers five years ago.

He was a bit unbelievable, but when he stood in front of the gate of Ning Mansion now, when the Ning Mansion, which used to allow people to come in and out, and the constant stream of customers, became the current Ning Mansion with strict security and many family members, the man still let the man There was quite a shock in my heart!

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided that it was better to see it with his own eyes, so he went up to talk to the servant, explaining his identity and purpose of coming, the servant looked at the man for a while, politely told him to wait, and went in to inform.

After a while, the servant invited the man in, walked through the curved corridor he had walked through, walked through the gorgeous peony garden, and finally came to a small pavilion on a pool of spring water.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a quiet man in a light blue shirt with black hair hanging down like a waterfall and winding to the ground...

He just sat quietly on the carved stone chair, motionless, but the elegant and light temperament lingered, knowing that just by looking at him with those dark and soft eyes, he felt that his whole body was is transparent...

It's still the mature and elegant Ning Jingyao, the man thought.

But when he approached and called out 'Lord Ning', the man flinched in panic, as if frightened by a stranger.

This kind of Ning Jingyao puzzled the man. Just as he was about to speak, a clear and magnetic voice came from behind him: "Guests, don't come forward anymore, my father will be afraid..."

The man turned his head sharply, and saw a handsome man with outstanding appearance and extraordinary bearing, wearing a fox white silk gown with gold trim inlaid on the collar, a light gold belt around his waist, a charming purple ring around his waist, and a simple purple gold hair crown. A young man with tall hair, strolling along...

In a daze, the young man had already walked up to Master Ning, stood still, looked at the man with those eyes that seemed to be full of affection no matter who he looked at, and said, "The guest is my father's former retainer?"

"Exactly." The man no longer looked at the young man, but looked sadly at Lord Ning's overly quiet look, and said, "Seven years ago, I was a guest at Lord Ning's mansion and wanted to go out to study and travel. Lord Ning has given me countless money... Now I am here to visit Lord Ning... Who knows..." The man couldn't continue...

The young man smiled and said: "It's okay, my father is really crazy, many of the former diners have also left, it's hard for the guests to remember my father."

"It should be..."

"The guest's wish has been fulfilled. Do he still want to be a guest in my Ning Mansion or..." The young man said polite words, but no one could tell that these words were just 'polite'.

The man is very sensible, knowing that the 'Lord Ning' who was once known by countless people is really stupid. When he looked at the man again, he found that the man's appearance was not so amazing, he was really just an ordinary Man, a man in his late 40s...

"I'm just here to visit Lord Ning, and I'm going to visit relatives in Xizi City soon, so I won't bother you..." The man said this, and then exchanged a few words with the young man, full of unspeakable regret and melancholy ,left.

After the guests left, the not-so-deep smile on Ning Chongyun's face completely disappeared, and he looked down at the quiet man who was still sitting on the stone chair with a confused face, and said contemptuously: "It's really possible... ...Daddy, as expected, there were so many patrons back then, and even now there are still people who come to see you... Tsk..."

"But those who come to see you are all looking at your foolishness! Do you know that... the money is gone, and people are hard to find?" Ning Chongyun stretched out his hand, squeezed the man's jaw, and forced the man to raise his head. , but dismissed it disdainfully, "Forget it... I told you, but you don't understand, idiot..."

After Ning Chongyun finished talking, he asked the man to follow him, and was going to have dinner, but the man felt aggrieved and touched his red jaw, which was pinched by Ning Chongyun just now, looked up at Ning Chongyun and said in a low voice: " it hurts……"

Ning Chongyun looked at the man coldly and said nothing.

"Hmm...hug..." The man looked at the young man with red eyes, and stretched out his hand to carefully pull the corner of the young man's clothes. The breeze blew past, just enough to raise the man's unrestrained black hair, and a few black hairs caressed the young man's side. The face looks like a lover's kiss...

Although Ning Chongyun looked at the foolish man impatiently, with deep meaning in his eyes, he said: "Although you are stupid, you are much more pleasing to the eye than before..."

After finishing speaking, a man bent down and picked up the man, and walked towards the dining room
