Don't go back to hometown

Fire in July, golden autumn in August.

Yangzhou Academy's bell rang for the end of school in the evening, Jiang Xianyu and Tan Yunhan walked out of the classroom, and subconsciously glanced at the direction of Class A of the scholar.

It has been half a month since Xie Cheng went to Jinling to participate in the scientific examination, and it has been more than a month since he and Xie Cheng had an argument.

Tan Yunhan whispered in Jiang Xianyu's ear, but the latter didn't listen.

"Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu!" Tan Yunhan waved his hand in front of him, "Are you going?"

Jiang Xianyu: "Where are you going?"

Qin Yunhan: "Take a rest tomorrow and go to Daming Temple to pray together."

"No." Jiang Xianyu rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you like a little girl, believing in gods, Buddhas and ghosts?"

"How can I!" Tan Yunhan argued for himself angrily, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, my mother is going to take my sister to Daming Temple to pray for blessings, and she also invited a few wives and ladies, so she must ask me to go with her. That's why I I want to call a few classmates, lest I be alone in the crowd of girls, how embarrassing."

Jiang Xianyu was not interested, and turned to the stable to lead the horse, "You call Wen Qing to go with you."

Tan Yunhan saw that please don't move him, and began to think about the possibility of taking Wen Qing there, "Wen Qing believes in his family, can he go?"

"I don't know... you can ask him." Jiang Xianyu was not in high spirits, and was a little bit indifferent to Tan Yunhan.

Tan Yunhan didn't catch up, looked at his background and sighed, "As soon as Brother Xie left, why did he look like he lost his soul?"

Jiang Xianyu rode his horse back home, met Jiang's father at the door coming back from the escort agency, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, when will big brother come back?"

Father Jiang asked him in surprise, "Miss your brother?"

Jiang Xianyu pursed his mouth: "No, it's not the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, I'm just asking."

Seeing his listless look, Jiang's father knew very clearly that Jiang Baizhou went to Jinling on business and left with Xie Cheng.But Jiang Baizhou had never gone out before, but Jiang Xianyu had never been so worried.

"Is that worried about Xie Cheng?"

"Who is worried about him!"

Father Jiang snorted lightly, and poked him on the forehead with a smile, "You said you, why are you so awkward with him? Last time when you ran away from home, you blamed others for reporting. Are you short tempered?"

"I didn't." Jiang Xianyu slapped his forehead, feeling depressed.

He wanted to say that Xie Cheng felt that he was indeterminate and lacking in character, so he didn't care to be friends with him.He was also afraid of his father's questioning, knowing that Xie Cheng was disappointed because he couldn't continue taking the martial arts exam.

Ever since the family told him about his grandfather, their attitude towards him has become more conniving and loving. On the one hand, he was worried that he would hate the royal family and make some impulsive actions; Live, so he occasionally loses his temper and the family obeys him and indulges him.

It's not that he didn't feel it, but because of this, he didn't dare to let his parents know the reason for his quarrel with Xie Cheng, for fear of making them worry about him.

Seeing that he bowed his head and didn't speak, Jiang's father couldn't bear it anymore, and patted his head: "Okay, let you go to Jinling with your brother and you won't go, and you will secretly send it off on the day of departure. Your brother takes good care of Xie Cheng, doesn't your brother know?"

"Don't worry, Xie Cheng is more calm and sensible than you, you will definitely be able to take care of yourself, maybe you can get a Jie Yuan back."

"I know..." Jiang Xianyu also knew that his worries were unnecessary, but his heart was still restless.

On the day he went to see Jiang Baizhou off, Xie Cheng saw him on the boat, and their eyes met, but he still got angry and didn't talk to Xie Cheng, didn't say goodbye, and didn't wish him immediate success.

Before he could pass, Xie Cheng turned around and entered the cabin.Just like on the night of Qixi Festival, she turned around decisively and stopped looking at him.

Jiang Xianyu has been dreaming of Xie Cheng's eyes recently, which makes him feel that they really don't seem to be the same people from now on.

……

Jiang Xianyu went to Daming Temple the next day.

Jiang's mother saw that he was sleeping at home as soon as he took a bath, looking sluggish, and forced him to come out to relax.

Tan Yunhan was very happy to see him, and waved to him among a group of little girls.

Jiang Xianyu shook his head, and hurriedly avoided going to the mountain behind the temple.

There is a small stream hidden in a bamboo forest, and there is a pavilion beside the stream.

Jiang Xianyu strolled past and saw a monk chatting with pilgrims in the pavilion. He didn't intend to disturb him, so he turned around and walked away.

But because of his extraordinary hearing, the voice of the pilgrim who turned his back was somewhat familiar.

He couldn't help but stop, seeing the pilgrim standing up and bowing to the master: "This time sending the master back to his hometown, Ren's mission has been completed. I only hope that the master will be safe and smooth, and everything will be safe."

The master smiled lightly: "Thank you, Shaoxia Ren."

When the pilgrim turned around, Jiang Xianyu finally confirmed the other party's identity: "Brother Ren!"

Ren Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, and after saying goodbye to the master, he walked towards Jiang Xianyu.

Jiang Xianyu couldn't wait to meet him: "Brother Ren, didn't you go to the capital? When did you return to Yangzhou?"

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "I went to the capital to pick up Master Huici, and I just returned to Yangzhou yesterday."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Xianyu glanced into the pavilion, and Master Huici smiled kindly at him while performing the Buddhist ceremony.

Jiang Xianyu smiled back and looked at Ren Xiaoyao: "Is Master Huici the friend Brother Ren mentioned? Will he stay in Daming Temple from now on? What about you, Brother Ren?"

Ren Xiaoyao did not answer the first two questions, but said: "Now that I have met you, I naturally want to stay in Yangzhou for a while."

Jiang Xianyu, who was so bored, couldn't wish for more, his eyes lit up, "That's great!"

With a faint smile on Ren Xiaoyao's lips, he asked him, "Why did you come to Daming Temple today? Where is Xie Cheng? He wasn't with you?"

Jiang Xianyu's expression froze, "He went to Jinling to take the scientific examination, and I came with my mother."

Ren Xiaoyao noticed the loneliness in his eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "You didn't go with him?"

Jiang Xianyu snorted rebelliously, "Why should I go with him?"

"Did you quarrel?"

"No!"

Ren Xiaoyao laughed loudly, and patted Jiang Xianyu's shoulder, "Look at you, I don't know, I thought you were his quarrelsome little daughter-in-law. Tell me, have you and him settled down since childhood?" relative?"

Jiang Xianyu's face turned green: "Nonsense! Who is his little wife now? I... He and I are both men, so how can we have baby kisses!"

Ren Xiaoyao: "What's the matter with men and men? It's not that there are no men and men who cut off their sleeves in unofficial history stories. If you didn't see it and didn't get the hang of it, I would have thought that the two of you had made a private decision for life last time."

"How is it possible?!" Jiang Xianyu stared at him in disbelief, feeling that every word he said was shocking and sensational.

Ren Xiaoyao: "How is that impossible? He warned me not to take you truant to play all day long. He was afraid that you would delay your studies, and he was also worried that I would abduct you and guard you like a treasure. Isn't it like protecting a wife? "

Just as Jiang Xianyu wanted to refute that Xie Cheng only regarded him as his own brother, not his daughter-in-law, he let Ren Xiaoyao say: "There is still you."

"He persuaded you to take the martial arts exam and enter the court with him, but you immediately changed your mind and didn't leave with me. It's more effective than talking to your parents. Tell me, is his position in your heart unusual?"

Jiang Xianyu was surrounded by him, blinked blankly, and his cheeks became more and more red.

Then he swung Ren Xiaoyao's arm away angrily, and retorted: "You are wrong!"

I can't tell what's wrong with him, I only know that he and Xie Chengcai are not what Ren Xiaoyao said...not innocent!

They are brothers, siblings, family——

But there are no brothers and sisters who feel bad because the other party recruits a girl, no brothers and sisters who are worried when they are separated, and no brothers and sisters who are at odds with each other and worry about being strangers and brooding.

Not so with him and his brother.

Although I am a little sorry for his brother, but his brother will not personally sort out the military manuals for him, will not supervise his reading day after day, and will not lie with him regardless of each other when he is sleepy...

He suddenly understood why he was "jealous" Xie accepted the girl's welcome on the night of Qixi Festival.

He wasn't jealous of Xie Cheng, he was jealous of those girls.Jealous that they can show love to Xie Cheng openly, and even fantasize about becoming his wife.Apart from not being too reserved, no one would feel that there was anything wrong.

I also understand why I would fabricate that Xie Cheng had a sweetheart and reject Tan Fanghao for him on his own initiative.

Because he doesn't want Xie Cheng to like any girl!

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, and his thoughts became chaotic.

Seeing his solemn expression, Ren Xiaoyao thumped in his heart, and quickly patted him on the shoulder to persuade him: "Hey, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Don't be fooled by some of his jokes.

Jiang Xianyu looked at him, dazed and at a loss: "...I don't know."

Ren Xiaoyao supported his forehead, feeling deeply that he had sinned deeply, so he could only try his best to make up for it.

"Then what, don't think about it. You are brothers, you grew up together, and you are used to being inseparable and inseparable, but that's not the case, do you understand me?"

Jiang Xianyu glanced at him, "You have said everything, which one is true?"

Ren Xiaoyao: "..." Isn't it okay for me to be cheap?

"Then let me ask you." Ren Xiaoyao looked at him solemnly, "If Xie Cheng kisses you, what will happen to you...would you be disgusted?"

Jiang Xianyu frowned and substituted his description, his face flushed suddenly, and he turned his eyes away.

Ren Xiaoyao's heart is not good, and he wants to make it up again, "Then if he doesn't mean that to you and wants to marry a wife and have children, what will you think?"

Jiang Xianyu frowned even tighter, a thorn pierced his head, and there was a sharp pain.

Ren Xiaoyao wanted to ask again, but Jiang Xianyu stopped him: "Brother Ren, stop talking, let me think about it myself."

Think about it.

……

Ren Xiaoyao visited Jiang's house again, but he didn't have time to play around with Jiang Xianyu, but accompanied him to think about life's major events.

He collected some Duanxiu scripts, and wanted to tell Jiang Xianyu that men and men are not tolerated by the world, and most of them end in tragedy, so that he can be persuaded to change his mind in time and be right.

Jiang Xianyu frowned frequently as he read it, and just when Ren Xiaoyao thought he finally realized the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Xianyu threw away the script and said plausibly, "Xie Cheng wouldn't do that! I'm not like him!"

It's not like this kind of impulsiveness, only caring about physical pleasure, and then marrying a wife and having children, while keeping secrets.

This can only be called making ends meet, not liking!

He doesn't covet Xie Cheng's body, he only cares about the long-term company and staying together, and Xie Cheng's care.

He is not willing to let Xie Cheng go to the temple alone, but he can only live in seclusion in the countryside, and he is not willing to let Xie Cheng marry a wife and have children in the future. Sleep together.

But what if you are not reconciled?

He is a man, and he is a criminal minister. No matter what the basis is, his existence will block Xie Cheng's path to Qingyun.

After Ren Xiaoyao saw that he lost the script and muttered a few words, his eyes turned red, and he was shocked, "Don't cry!"

He hasn't tried to explain his relationship problems to others, and he has been confused, so he can only come up with blind ideas: "If you are really interested in him, go and ask him what he thinks. It's better for us to have an accurate sentence than to be blind yourself think."

Jiang Xianyu shook his head: "...No way."

It can't be like that, there is no turning back after saying that.

"Why not?" Ren Xiaoyao said, "If he has no intentions of you, you can still be brothers. If he also has feelings for you, at worst, you can elope. There is always a place for you at the end of the world."

Jiang Xianyu was startled, then shook his head again: "He won't go with me."

Ren Xiaoyao said anxiously: "How do you know if you don't ask?"

Jiang Xianyu still didn't speak, and lowered his head.

Ren Xiaoyao was also helpless.He is a big man, and he has never tasted love. How could he understand the entangled emotions of a person who is moved because of love, who is unwilling to retreat and dare not speak out.

He also felt bored, and after a few days, he proposed to leave Yangzhou.

Jiang Xianyu didn't say anything at first, but wished him a smooth journey.

Unexpectedly, on the day of departure, Jiang Xianyu suddenly followed up and said, "I...I want to go to Jinling to find him."

Ask him if he wants to come with me.
