Red Dust Inn

Everyone will encounter all kinds of difficulties on the road of life, big or small, more or less a little bit.A person who has no desires and desires like Xue Tingyun occasionally feels that Tianshanxue is tired of drinking, and if he wants to change, he can't find a favorite tea, so he can only make do with it.The cloud is light and the wind is as light as Liu Shisan, and occasionally when he feels that the money is not enough, he feels very uncomfortable.Covering the sky with one hand like Xue Yuhan, even in the dead of night, you will feel empty in your heart, as if something is missing.Life goes as smoothly as Xue Jinshan, and she will rack her brains about An Qingyu's affairs.Not to mention those people who are alone, poorly clothed, hungry, have no fixed place to live, have a rough life, bad luck, and unrecognized talents, if they occupy one of them, it will be a big ups and downs.

But there was one exception, and that person was An Qingyu.

An Qingyu has never encountered any troubles since he was a child. He doesn't know how others think of him, at least he thinks so.The first 12 years of his life were really smooth, and even when he thinks about it now, he can't find anything that went wrong.

An Qingyu has lived with his mother and concubine in the most remote part of the palace since he was born, and he has been planting flowers since he could walk, because he knows that there are steamed buns to eat when planting flowers. Before the age of 12, he had never seen anyone other than his mother, had never eaten anything other than porridge, side dishes, white noodles and steamed buns, and had never done anything other than grow flowers.His life is like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves, day after day, year after year, sunrise and sunset, no hope, no disappointment, no expectation, no loss, no happiness, no pain and sorrow.In the eyes of others, he is the most pitiful person, but in his eyes, oh!He has no idea at all, just like a blank sheet of paper.

An Qingyu, who was like a blank sheet of paper, naturally never thought about getting out of that dilapidated palace, let alone fighting for the throne.He was finally able to see the sun again, thanks to his hard-fated imperial brothers.

It may be that God is helping him, his brothers are all short-lived ghosts, his father watched his beloved sons leave one after another, and when there was only one sick nine prince left, he finally remembered An Qingyu's mother and son.

Xiliang is a bit different from other countries. The vassal kings are very powerful. In order to consolidate the throne, the emperor always married the daughters of the clan.Although the emperors of all dynasties had many heirs, few of them grew up healthy and healthy.Especially this generation of emperor, who only favors the current empress, who is his own cousin.The Empress also worked very hard for successors in Xiliang, and she gave birth to a dragon son in three to five years.These princes have been cared for meticulously since they were young, but they still cannot avoid the fate of premature death. Occasionally, some of them are in their twenties, and they cannot avoid the bad luck of dying young.

An Qingyu was able to grow up healthily, thanks to his mother being a maid.When the emperor was drunk and waiting for the queen, he saw that the little maid was very handsome, so he got An Qingyu on a whim.In order to keep the fetus in his womb, his maid's mother made a poisonous oath that she would never step out of Liangyuan in this life.

When the King of Xiliang saw An Qingyu for the first time, he sighed, "I'm afraid this child won't live long." It can't be blamed for his father cursing him, but because he was skinny at that time, his eyes were hollow, and he didn't have any eyes. no business.And timid and timid, don't know anything, don't know anything, and can't even speak clearly.Although the king of Xiliang was extremely disappointed, he did not give up on him. He found an imperial doctor and a teacher for him.

Two years later, when An Qingyu appeared in front of the king of Xiliang in vain and fat, the king of Xiliang shed tears of excitement.When An Qingyu was able to memorize a book of war by heart, he was even more pleasantly surprised.Since then, An Qingyu's life has been on the right track, and he has been singing all the way on his road to prince.

He didn't complain, but he felt that his life was both a joke and a myth. He had encountered both the most unlucky and the luckiest things, so there was nothing for him to take to heart.

Until he came to Donggan.

He felt that meeting Murong Feixue was more fortunate than his inexplicable transformation from an unknown abandoned son to the most respected prince.And meeting Xue Jinshan is even more unlucky than living like a puppet in Liangyuan for 12 years.

He changed into clean clothes and was about to take a look at his nominal fiancée, but he was punched by someone as soon as he went out, and the person who shot him was Xue Tingyun, who was always gentle and elegant.He asked angrily, "Why does Jinshan fall into the water every time she is with you? Do you want to murder Jinshan, and then break off the engagement and marry Feixue as a matter of course?"

This remark surprised the other three young masters who didn't know about it. Xue Yuyun seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, and continued to ask, "Why don't you take good care of Jinshan, and let her fall into the water every time."

An Qingyu lowered her head slightly to apologize, and said sincerely, "I swear, next time I let myself fall into the water, I will never let her fall into the water."

"It's about the same." Xue Yuyun clapped his hands, stroked the hair that fell on his shoulders and said, "Then go and see her, I'll go find Shisan."

Xue Jinshan kept staring at Murong Feixue, and Murong Feixue felt uncomfortable under her stare, so he pushed her and said, "Have you seen enough?"

Xue Jinshan shook his head, looked left and right at Murong Feixue, stroked his chin and said, "Let me see how you are prettier than me, which fascinates An Qingyu so much."

Murong Feixue stretched out her index finger, paused, retracted her index finger, replaced it with her little finger, poked her forehead and said, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

Xue Jinshan silently pressed his forehead, and asked curiously, "Why did you poke me with your little finger?"

Feixue smiled, "Because your thinking is different from ordinary people, so my behavior is different from ordinary people."

Xue Jinshan rolled his eyes, "Then do you like him?"

Murong Feixue quickly shook her head, she said firmly, "I don't like it."

Xue Jinshan's originally hanging heart finally let go, and she felt relaxed all over. As long as Feixue doesn't like An Qingyu, she still has a chance.She said coquettishly, "Feixue, help me figure out how to make An Qingyu like me. Why does he like you? Can't I learn it?"

Murong Feixue thought about it carefully, and really didn't know what An Qingyu liked about her. She was about to speak, but Xue Jinshan said first, "Do you think there is any difference between us? He might like that."

Murong Feixue just wanted to say that she didn't know, but Xue Jinshan continued, "I know, you are gentler than me, do you think he likes girls who are gentle and gentle like you?" She seemed to know something Like a secret, dancing happily, like a child.

After dancing twice, she stopped immediately, folded her hands on her lap, closed her mouth, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly, "Be gentle, gentle." She looked at Murong Feixue, "Look Can I do this?"

Murong Feixue twitched the corners of her mouth, "Okay, okay."

There was a knock on the door, and An Qingyu's voice came, "Fifth Princess, are you okay? May I come in?"

"Here we come. An Qingyu came to see me." Xue Jinshan swallowed nervously, quickly put his movements together, and said, "Feixue, go back first and wait for my good news."

Murong Feixue met An Qingyu at the door, ignored An Qingyu's fiery gaze, and walked straight out.An Qingyu withdrew her gaze in dismay, strode to the bed, and asked, "Fifth Princess, how is your health?"

Xue Jinshan smiled shyly, tucked her chin slightly, shifted her gaze to the blanket covering her lap, rubbed the corner of the blanket with both hands, and said softly, "It's much better."

Seeing her like this, An Qingyu frowned, and asked weakly, "Are you out of your mind?"

"En?" Xue Jinshan raised his head abruptly, looked at him with wide eyes, thought for a while, then lowered his head, and said softly, "En, maybe it is, after falling into the water twice, water will inevitably enter the head."

An Qingyu let out a "puchi" laugh, and thoughtfully helped her tuck the corner of the quilt, holding back her smile and said, "Since your head is flooded, you should take a rest quickly, and I won't bother you."

Seeing that An Qingyu was about to leave, Xue Jinshan grabbed him quickly, blinked his eyes, and tried to squeeze out tears, "It is said that this mountain is haunted at night, it is getting late, you can stay with me again."

An Qingyu said helplessly, "What are you thinking about?"

Xue Jinshan said solemnly, "I was thinking about you."

An Qingyu was choked by her words, and after a while, she said, "You have a rest, I'll go first."

Xue Jinshan saw that it was impossible to persuade him to stay, so he had no choice but to get up and follow.

Liu Shisan slept all day, feeling refreshed, drank tea with Xue Tingyun for a while, and said, "Didn't you say that there is a temple on the mountain? Let's not go and see it?"

Xue Yuyun looked outside, the night was just right, the moon and stars were sparse, he stretched his waist, "Then what are you waiting for? I'll call others."

A group of people were preparing to set off in a mighty way, just in time to bump into An Qingyu, and saw Xue Jinshan hurriedly chasing him out.Seeing the crowd, Xue Jinshan said excitedly, "Fourth brother, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Bodhi Temple, you don't want to go." Xue Tingyun was worried that she would not be able to bear it, but how could Xue Jinshan miss this kind of excitement, so he wanted to go, Xue Tingyun had no choice but to take her with him.

The Bodhi Temple is full of incense, and there are slightly fewer people at night.

Xue Jinshan excitedly ran to the Marriage Tree, pointed to the fluttering red ribbon and said, "I have always heard that this Marriage Tree is very effective, but I have never tried it. Today I will test whether it is really effective. ,"

An Qingyu looked at the tree with great interest, and asked, "Is this a marriage tree? How do you seek marriage?"

"It's not easy." Xue Jinshan said, "We go to the temple to ask for a marriage lottery, and then take a red ribbon there, write the names of ourselves and our sweetheart on the tree, and if we hang it on the tree, It means that the two can be united forever, and if it doesn’t work out, it means that the two are destined to be together.”

After finishing speaking, she dragged Murong Feixue to the temple, An Qingyu and Mo Jin also followed.

Liu Shisan walked into the marriage tree to have a look, and said, "Ah Yun, don't you want to ask for the root stick?" Xue Tiaoyun closed the Yunchou fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "This woman in the world has not yet One person can get into the eyes of me, Xue Tingyun, so please wait until you meet him."

Murong Qi snorted coldly, "It's really shameless."

Xue Yuyun glanced at him, still smiled and said, "Brother Murong can ask for it, maybe the eldest lady in the prime minister's mansion has figured it out?"

"It's just nonsense." Murong Qi was a little uncomfortable being talked about, he knew that Xue Yuyun was eloquent, and he couldn't speak to him, so he stopped talking.Xue Yuyun felt that he was boring, so he changed his target and began to tease Xia Jinbo, "Brother Jin, I saw Miss Mo Jin following you all the way this afternoon, why don't you tell me you didn't notice?"

Xia Jinbo made a bow, and said solemnly, "Miss Mo Jin and I are old acquaintances, so we naturally know about it."

"Oh? Then whose name do you think Miss Mo Jin will write on the red ribbon later?" Xue Yuyun asked again.

"This..." Xia Jinbo felt that this question was beyond his ability to answer, so he said, "I don't know, but it must be her sweetheart."

Li Yuanjing shook his head like iron and steel, "You go to see people dance in rain or shine, and it's rare for people to respond to you once, but they don't notice it, they are indifferent, you really don't know how to do it."

While a few people were chatting, people from the temple came out.

Holding the red ribbon, Xue Jinshan carefully wrote his name, then pursed his lips and looked at An Qingyu, secretly smiling.After writing the name, she held the red ribbon in the palm of her hand, praying to God to bless the red ribbon to hang on the tree.After a while, she opened her eyes, found a branch, and swung it vigorously. The ribbon brushed past the branch and fell down unsteadily.Xue Jinshan frowned, stretched out his hand to catch the falling ribbon, and threw it again, one end of the ribbon slipped across the branches, Xue Jinshan stared at it intently, his heart was in his throat.At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the silk ribbon that was not hung securely fell down with the wind, Xue Jinshan saw it and was anxious in his heart.She firmly believed that An Qingyu would be hers in the end, picked up the ribbon, closed her eyes and threw it vigorously.I prayed over and over in my heart before I dared to open my eyes.

hung up.

"Mine's up, it's up," she cheered.

Murong Feixue and Mo Jin looked at the silk ribbon fluttering in the wind, and rarely showed a smile.

Only An Qingyu's belt couldn't be hung up no matter what, he didn't struggle anymore, put the ribbon into his clothes, and said angrily, "I don't believe in this evil, it's just a tree."
