The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Waking up early in the morning, the sky is overcast and rainy, so dark that it is covered with lead clouds hanging down all over the sky.After Yan Zun finished his breakfast, he stood in the corridor and watched the sky with his hands behind his back for a while, then ordered his servants to prepare a carriage and go to his servant's mansion.

The Minister's Mansion is a well-established establishment, not too ostentatious, nor shabby.There are no flowers and plants in the mansion, and there are many evergreen plants and trees, which are sparse and bright. In addition to books, there are also books, and famous swords and weapons of various colors are hung on the walls.

As soon as he entered the door, seven or eight handsome young men greeted him. They were all Yan Zun's pets at home.Yan Zun hasn't come home for a long time since he went to Youwu under the order, these little pets naturally rushed up one by one like hungry wolves seeing meat.

However, Yan Zun's first sentence made them freeze in place. Yan Zun said: "You guys pick out the gold and silver treasures in the treasury by yourself. After you pick them up, let them go."

A man said: "The servant suddenly wants to drive us away, did we do something wrong?"

Yan Zun shook his head, "You didn't do anything wrong. But even if you leave here, I can help you with whatever you want in the future."

Da Jinshan, who is wealthy and handsome, suddenly said that he would be gone if he didn’t have it. Several beautiful men were depressed, but they had no choice but to hesitate for a while, and went to the warehouse to choose things pitifully.

Yan Zun glanced at them, then walked east into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a man in a red gauze suit sitting in the courtyard, with a qin and a cup of tea.His appearance is not as charming as Bai Yu's at a glance, nor is it very dazzling, but it is very gentle and soft, making people want to get close for no reason.

When he heard Yan Zun's footsteps, he didn't greet Yan Zun with a smile on his face like the others, but played his piano as if he hadn't heard of it.

Yan Zun didn't disturb him, but sat down opposite him and listened quietly.

After the song ended, the man poured tea for Yan Zun, and said softly, "You haven't been back for a long time."

Yan Zun fiddled with the teacup for a while and was silent for a while before saying: "I just asked them..." I couldn't continue, Yan Zun couldn't bear it, "Jin Zhi, I can buy you a house in the city, and your food and clothing costs They are all supplied by the Minister's Mansion, and they will never treat you badly."

Tang Jinzhi looked at Yan Zun Youyou, "You haven't come back for a long time, and when you came back, you vacated the servant's mansion. Is there a real master coming?"

Yan Zun nodded, then shook his head after a while, "It's still early. He hasn't promised me yet."

Tang Jinzhi was stunned, "There are times when you can't get what you want?" Bi Bi was slightly sad, and sighed: "I don't know what kind of fairy-like person that is."

Thinking of Bai Yu, Yan Zun finally had a smile on his face, "I really haven't seen him more..." He paused, glanced at Tang Jin, and stopped talking.

Tang Jinzhi looked at his expression, and his heart was clear, "It seems that you really like him."

Yan Zun acquiesced with a smile.

Tang Jinzhi was slightly distracted, looking at the vegetation in the courtyard, feeling a little lost, "When I was brought into this mansion four years ago, because I coughed whenever I smelled the fragrance of flowers, the minister ordered people to dig up all the flowers and plants in the mansion. Go, plant plants. At that time, I also thought that you really liked me."

Yan Zun avoided his gaze, and was silent for a moment, feeling somewhat ashamed, "I'm the one who failed you."

"I know, I don't blame you, I only blame myself, not as good as others."

Yan Zun had nothing to say, so he could only say apologetically: "I will make it up to you, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I can give it to you."

Tang Jinzhi's eyes became serious, he fixedly looked at Yan Zun, and smiled wryly, "If it's for money, why don't I serve the biggest rich man in Shangjing?" He said decisively: "Nagato has no grooming, why bother with pearls to comfort the lonely .”

Yan Zun was silent.

Tang Jinzhi made a swift move and forcibly broke the seven strings on the qin. The strings drew blood from his hand, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, and without frowning, he said lightly: "This is your What was given to me back then, there is no need to keep it now.”

Yan Zun looked at the dark red blood dripping from his fingers, and felt soft-hearted, but he was helpless, "Why are you bothering?"

Tang Jinzhi stood up, knelt on the ground with a calm face, "I have one last request."

Yan Zun helped him up and said, "Just talk."

Tang Jinzhi's eyes were moist, but not a single tear fell, "Your birthday is one month later, and we met on that day four years ago. I want to celebrate your birthday with you one last time, and then leave immediately without disturbing you."

Yan Zun finally agreed.Tang Jinzhi accompanied him for four years and was the one who stayed by his side the longest.He could feel that Tang Jinzhi was sincere to him and didn't come for money, so he felt the most apologetic towards him.

But isn't that true of all people's hearts?It's all love is new, love is not obtained.We all hope that our relationship can remain unchanged, but we don't know that people are constantly changing from birth.Yan Zun feels guilty, but there is nothing he can do.

As soon as Yan Zun returned to Yan's mansion, the sky began to rain heavily. In the yard, Princess Chunyi took Wan Wan's hand and ran quickly to the corridor. Wan Wan held a bird cage in her hand, and the parrot in the cage kept barking Saying, "It's raining, it's raining!"

Princess Chunyi took a silk handkerchief, squatted down and wiped off the few drops of rain on Wan Wan's face, "Hey, it's raining, we can't go fly a kite today."

Yan Zun said from the side: "It's okay, let's go another day, the kite can't run."

Wan Wan nodded and handed him the birdcage.

Princess Chunyi said: "It rained suddenly just now, the bird cage was hung on the branch and let the rain drenched for a while, the bird food is wet, go and replace it with a new one."

Yan Zun gave a "tsk" and left with the cage in hand, "Well, with a little girl, my son will be more compliant."

Princess Chunyi's eldest daughter, Yan Fu, has been married for a long time, and she likes Wan Wan very much when she sees her cute appearance, so she adopts her as a foster daughter and raises her by her side.

Yan Zun took out the starling's food box, poured out the wet bird food, and added new ones in.Princess Chunyi walked up behind him and said: "This morning the imperial doctor came to treat the hands of the Sanren, and I suddenly remembered what happened to Wan Wan, so I asked the imperial doctor to show her too. The imperial doctor said that there should be no problem with Wan Wan's throat , but why can't she speak?"

Yan Zun said: "She was born with it. The imperial doctor said that there is no problem with the throat. It should mean that there was no injury to the throat after birth."

Princess Chunyi said: "No, the imperial doctor said that Wanwan can understand other people's words very clearly, and can read and write, which shows that she is not deaf, nor is she a fool. Although most dumb people can't speak, they still can't speak. She can make some ah ah ah sounds, but Wan Wan... No matter what the imperial doctor and I say, she can't even make a little bit of this sound. But haven't you noticed that she clearly has a sound when she laughs. "

Yan Zun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, she does make a sound when she laughs." Yan Zun turned to look at her: "Then what do you mean?"

Princess Chunyi hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm just guessing, could it be...she could talk, but what happened later made her afraid to speak, or unwilling to speak?"

Yan Zun frowned and said: "I'm not very clear about this little girl's life experience, I only know a few words from others. But before she was taken away by Li Guang, she really had a miserable life, so these days Li Guang and I I never asked her about the past, for fear that she would be sad."

Princess Chunyi sighed, "It's really a crime. I want her to be like ordinary people, but I'm afraid to mention something that makes her sad. It's really embarrassing."

Yan Zun said: "It's okay, let's wait a little longer, after getting along for a long time, Wanwan will get closer to us before we can think of a way. Anyway, she is very smart, if she can really talk, she will recover quickly."

The rain gradually became heavier, and the spring rain was as expensive as oil. The servants of Yan's mansion lifted the lids of several large water tanks in the courtyard to catch the rootless water.There is such a custom in Dazhou that using rootless water to irrigate flowers and trees, sprinkle and sweep the garden can bring blessings to the family.

It was raining and it was inconvenient to go out, Yan Zun had nothing to do, so he tidied up the bookshelves in the study, found a few books with simple and easy-to-understand contents, and ordered someone to take them for Wanwan.When he passed by the main gate of Kui, he quietly went in to take a look. Kui was sleeping soundly, and his complexion had improved a lot these days after he arrived in Shangjing.

Yan Zun was bored wandering around the house and couldn't find anything to do. After finally waiting for the rain to subside, he wanted to enter the palace to see Baiyu.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he was stunned by the drenched red figure on the opposite side.

Tang Jinzhi stood opposite the gate of Yan Mansion for an unknown how long, his whole body was wet as if he had just been fished out of the lake, his lips were pale and bloodless from the cold.

Yan Zun came back to his senses, and hurried over with an umbrella, "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you hold an umbrella?"

Tang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "Follow you all the way back, I want to see what that person looks like."

Yan Zun hesitated to speak, and sighed silently.Tang Jinzhi's appearance was probably because of the cold, so he couldn't send him back to the Minister's Mansion, so Yan Zun had no choice but to bring him into Yan's Mansion, ordered someone to boil water for him to bathe and change clothes, and let the kitchen cook it. The medicine for the cold is coming.

Tang Jinzhi's complexion was as pale as paper, and he seemed to have collapsed, lying limp on the bed.His body has always been not very good, and he would catch a cold if he didn't pay attention, but now he was caught in a sudden heavy rain, which really made him unable to resist.

The servant brought the medicine, Yan Zun subconsciously was about to take it, then retracted his hand and stepped aside, saying: "Go and feed him."

Tang Jinzhiqiang sat up propped up, took the medicine bowl from the servant, and drank the medicine by himself without saying a word.

Yan Zun felt that he was a little too indifferent again, and was about to say something to make up for it, when he heard someone outside the door say: "I want to report to the servant, Mr. Bai has returned from the palace, and he said he came to see his master."

In an instant, a thunderbolt struck, Yan Zun's heart went cold.
