The bright moon sits on the ground

Qin Rongchong didn't say a word about the person he had in mind.

Along the way, Ren Tian Wan Yan secretly inquired, his tone was strict, and he refused to disclose even the slightest information.

It wasn't until one time, when Tan Hongchong was not around, that Tian Wan smoked for a long time before the coachman told her the destination.

Suifeng faction.

Living in the vast mountains, with clear springs washing their bodies and revealing fruit belly, they are accompanied by cranes and weaving clouds as clothes. They are like a group of Taoist priests who are not stained with dust. Although they practice Taoism, they are not the same as those alchemists in the palace. A group of people don't like to lie to people by talking about gods on weekdays. They go after accepting the banquet post, and never shy away from worldly things.

Therefore, the Emperor set up the invitation platform not far from Suifeng Peak, and they also bowed their heads to lead the ceremony, and accepted the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

In the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor is headed and faces south, the priest sits in the middle, the imperial guards in the palace face east, the Suifeng faction faces west, and the rest face north.

As a descendant of the Tian family, Tian Wanyan is naturally familiar with these customary rules.

What puzzled her was, how did Tan Rongchong, as the head of the Qin family and thousands of miles away in Xiayan City, get in touch with the Suifeng faction at the foot of the imperial city?What happened to make him fall in love with the disciples of Suifeng sect at first sight?

Also, is the jade pendant with the lotus titled by Chihu on his waist that he would never take off easily, was it a gift from his ideal person?

These questions were circling in Tian Wanyan's mind, but she didn't linger too long, guessing that Qin Rongchong should have finished eating with the Demon Sect leader and the right protector, she smiled at the shy coachman and turned back. The inn went.

Related to Lian, he is a disciple of Suifeng Sect, about the same age as Tan Rongchong, like a deer in a dense forest, different from ordinary people.

Tian Wanyan gradually had the answer in her heart. Once this kind of thought surfaced, it would become clearer as she deepened her thinking. Even if she felt absurd again, she had to admit that that person, honestly, was the type that Tan Rongchong would like. .

Ethereal like Xiao Cui, cold like Ning Qing, sharp like her eyebrows and eyes...

All the girls in Qin Rongchong's mansion could vaguely see a star.

He himself didn't notice it, and said that the onlookers can tell, but Tian Wanyan didn't think about it at all before thinking of this possibility, because the two of them have completely different temperaments, status, and backgrounds.

Then she felt ridiculous again.

I knew that Tan Rongchong was not jealous of men and women, didn't I, Tian Wanyan gritted his teeth and thought.

Qin Rongchong has always liked people with good looks, she is one, and the former Mr. Nie is another.

It would be fine if he had wishful thinking, but that person also gave him a jade pendant that was close to him, what does that mean?

Although the Suifeng faction is not a group of old antiques, they are known for being conservative and reserved, not to mention the person who is known as "Hua Guang of the Suifeng faction" and "Fuqu taoist priest". Although he became famous at a young age, he has never Hearing that he has had any lovers, it can be seen that he is clean and self-sufficient.

However, it seems that no news has been heard about him for a long time.

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Tian Wanyan's thoughts. She came back to her senses and guessed that Qin Rongchong had come back. She put on her robe hastily, got up and opened the door, and asked with her usual expression, "Have you already Have you talked to the two of them?"

Tan Rongchong coughed lightly when he heard the words, Tian Wanyan noticed that there was something strange in his eyes, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

She subconsciously wanted to touch Tan Hongchong's brows with her fingertips as usual, and then remembered that it is unnecessary to be so close now, it is a bad thing for her, and it is also a bad thing for Tan Hongchong, she will only call them It's disgusting to see each other.

So Tian Wanyan bit her lower lip lightly, moved her fingertips, but did not lift them up after all.

"It's not a formal meeting, it's just a catch-up and a chat." Perhaps because of something on his mind, Tan Rongchong didn't notice her slight movement, waved his hand, and said, "We're leaving here soon."

After being away from the person he likes for a long time, he is very impatient and has a little joy that is hard to detect.

Tian Wanyan said "Okay", and then, at the moment when Tan Rongchong turned around, silently, as if unable to suppress the pain, he took a few violent breaths, feeling palpitations, nausea, The feeling of suffocation surged up overwhelmingly, she could even clearly feel her legs trembling, and the bones all over her body seemed to be pulled out, almost limp on the ground.

However, she is Tian Wanyan.

She never regrets any decision, and never fears the unknown future.

So she quickly packed up her emotions properly, forced herself to swallow back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, suppressed the shattered sobs in her throat, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she changed back to the person she used to be. Refusing to show a weak expression, she is proud and confident, her sharpness and brilliance remain the same——

"It's not shameful to like someone." Tian Wanyan said softly, "Even if you admit that you really want to see him, I won't laugh."

As for Tan Rongchong's expressions and words of comfort, she couldn't even listen.

It doesn't matter anymore, Tian Wanyan thought, everything is coming to an end, what a pity, why did she fall in love with Tan Rongchong.

After leaving the Qin Mansion, she can go back to be her oiran and choose someone who is pleasing to the eye from those who admire her, or, even if she throws away the name of Yuehua and picks up the identity of the descendant of the Tian family again, she You can also become a celestial astrologer who is full of stars.

Whether he can meet the head of the Qin family again is a story after a long time.

"Let's go." Tian Wanyan said, walking forward, passing Tan Rongchong, "Go to meet the person you want to see."

Also let her see if that former Suifeng sect disciple is as bright as a flower in his rumors.

On the way to Suifeng faction, Tan Rongchong's words became less, maybe because he didn't want Tian Wanyan to notice his emotions, maybe because he still felt ashamed of her in his heart, but at this juncture, everything is gone significance.

The breeze lifted a corner of the bead curtain, Tian Wanyan supported her chin with her palm, leaned against the small window lattice, looked sideways at the scenery outside the carriage, and saw the mountains at the foot of the imperial city, the famous The Wangshan Inn is bustling with people, peddlers hawking by the roadside, young girls who bowed their heads and giggled, and ignorant teenagers, no matter if it was the sound of yelling or snickering, the sound of stammering strike-ups or the sound of the clear wind, they all seemed to be melting at this moment. The mighty flowing water that has flowed eastward will never return.

She remembered the interesting stories she heard from the chats of her elders when she was young.

The big disciple of the Suifeng sect was chosen by the head himself.

There is a saying in "Shanju Fu", "Although the beauty of all things is beautiful, the Huaxian of Fuqu canal alone" is taken as the character of Fuqu, and the name of Hua and Zhi.

Therefore, the descendants of the Suifeng School all call him "Fuqu Daoist", and Fuqu Tongfu is actually referring to lotus.

As for "Gu Huazhi", few people know about it, and no one calls him by his name like that on weekdays.

The Suifeng faction does not shy away from worldly things, and the head of the sect intends to cultivate him, so he often asks him to accept posts for banquets in the imperial city.

In such a noisy scene, a fairy-like figure in the painting suddenly appeared, which inevitably aroused the frequent glances of others.

Gu Huazhi seems to have the temperament of Xijing. Someone observed him secretly and found that every time he went back to the banquet, he only exchanged a few words with others, and soon sat in a seat in the corner, neither drinking nor touching meat. Fishy, ​​just drink some light white water.

If someone wanted to toast him, he would pick up a wine glass that he had never touched before, hold the glass in both hands, lower his head, close his eyes, and slightly purse his lips. Go down, and rinse your mouth with water after saluting.

Almost everyone thought that people from the Suifeng sect looked like this, and they got used to it over time.

It wasn't until one time that Gu Huazhi was ill and another disciple of the Suifeng Sect came to the banquet, that they later realized that it wasn't that the Suifeng Sect had such rules, it was just Gu Huazhi's habit.

It's not that no one can't understand it, and they want to embarrass him intentionally or unintentionally, but under the eyes of everyone, the emperor is partial to the Suifeng faction. Seeing a flaw, so I had to give up.

After that, for a long time, Gu Huazhi did not appear in the sight of everyone.

The head of the Suifeng sect changed, but it wasn't him, but another disciple.

I heard that the former sect leader still praised him very much, and all the disciples in the sect had a preference for him, but why he was not the one who became the sect master, no one knows these reasons, the only thing that is known is that since After that, Gu Huazhi gradually faded out of everyone's sight, and quietly disappeared, just as quiet and mysterious as he came, leaving no trace when he left.

Tan Rongchong said that he was like a deer that lost its way in the dense forest, startled by the sound of the wind, and soon hid in the forest again.

It is indeed very similar, Tian Wanyan thought, except for the deer, except for the flower, there is no other thing that can describe Gu Huazhi so aptly.

This may be a drama of reunion after a long absence and mutual love.

If... If it wasn't because Gu Huazhi had passed away.

He was still so temperamental, born from silence, and died from silence, even refusing to take away the cries of others.

The carriage slowly stopped at the foot of Suifeng Peak. Looking up, the mountains and rivers are quiet, like a splashed ink landscape painting, falling into a shallow sleep in the steaming clouds. If it weren't for the alarm of the horse's hooves, it seemed that it would never wake up , always waiting there.

Tan Rongchong avoided the driver's support, got out of the carriage, forgot even the folding fan he always carried, and walked forward on his own.

Tian Wanyan raised her hand to stop the driver's movement, shook her head at him, and gently opened the bead curtain so that the outside scene could come in.

At that time, they all thought that if they could see Gu Huazhi, even if the process was a bit bumpy, the result would be the same.

However, after hearing who Tan Rongchong was going to meet, the boy who sent the message showed a strange expression, hesitated, and said incoherently: "Then, then I will go to Master Xu Fengzi, you wait here for a while." , I'll be right back."

After he finished speaking, before Tan Rongchong could react, he disappeared as if oil was being applied to the soles of his feet.

The person called "Xu Fengzi" didn't make them wait too long, and quickly followed the messenger boy to the mountain gate.

Tian Wanyan originally thought that this person was the head of the Suifeng sect, but Qin Rongchong seemed to recognize him, saluted him, and asked with a little excitement and joy that could not be concealed, "It's been many years since I came here to bother you. I don't know if your senior brother is still willing to see me?"

Xu Fengzi paused for a moment, and after the messenger boy left obediently, he also bowed to Qin Rongchong, and then said: "Mr. Qin came at an unfortunate time, brother, he left the Suifeng sect a few years ago, and now he is probably living with his children and grandchildren." Let’s have a leisurely day.”

From Tian Wanyan's perspective, he could only see Tan Rongchong's back.

She didn't know what Tan Rongchong's expression was at this moment, whether it was pain or loss, disbelief or anger.

Afraid that he would not believe it, Xu Fengzi took out a yellowed letter from his sleeve, rolled up the sleeve with his right hand, and stretched forward with the left hand holding the letter—Tan Rongchong took a step back as if he had been burned suddenly However, Xu Fengzi seemed to be ignorant of this, and walked a few steps forward, let the letter break into his sight arrogantly, and said: "Senior brother still misses you, so before he leaves I left this letter and asked me to hand it over to you. Now, since you are here, please accept the letter."

Tan Rongchong's silence lasted for a long time, as if he was repeatedly confirming something. After the long silence, he opened his mouth, his voice was dry and hoarse, and said: "After so many years, he is unwilling to personally send a letter to tell me, I will I already know what he's thinking, Xu Fengzi, please keep this letter and don't tell him that I've been here. I've troubled you to take care of him all these years."

Xu Fengzi resisted him for a while, but he couldn't resist him after all, sighed, and put away the old yellowed letter again.

Tian Wanyan watched coldly in the carriage, did not make a sound, but suddenly asked loudly at this moment: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will really marry a wife and have children? Are you afraid that he doesn't care about you at all? I know Qin Rongchong, you are not such a timid person, right and wrong, only for future generations to decide, it has nothing to do with what you are going to do now."

"Think about it carefully, what is the reason why you came here all the way? Is it just to visit the mountains and rivers?"

With such a clumsy cover-up, the subconscious reactions of these Suifeng sect disciples were already obvious, so why didn't Qin Rongchong notice it?She was inexplicably annoyed. Could it be that her liking for Gu Huazhi was so strong that it made him lose his mind?

Xu Fengzi raised his eyes to look at Tian Wanyan in the carriage, Tian Wanyan also looked back, meeting that sharp point without hesitation.

Maybe it's because she doesn't want Tan Rongchong to have a chance to take chances, or maybe it's because of the little bit of selfish desire in her heart.

Let her be presumptuous once, Tian Wanyan thought, ignoring Xu Fengzi's eyes, and said: "Tan Rongchong, accept the letter."

At that time, she thought that the turmoil had come to an end here, and maybe Tan Rongchong thought so too.

However, none of them could have imagined that the letter Gu Huazhi left was unwritten, like an unresolved mystery.

Gradually, they were all involved in this long and long memory.
