A traitor

There are two daughters in Changshan Palace, one is Li Yanyan, the owner of Qingyang County, and the other is Li Saisai, the owner of Wuyang County.

Princess Qingyang inherited her mother's beauty, and she has been the same as Su Qinglang since she was a child. Because of her appearance, she is well-known in Chang'an City, and she is versatile. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , placed in the generals of Manjiazi, like a porcelain doll that will break if you are not careful.

In the end, as expected, the confidante's fate was unlucky, and she died before the double tenth.

Princess Wuyang is more like her father, King Chang Shan, with a victorious and strong personality. He never wants to lose to men when doing things. He often holds a steel whip and shows his face on the street.

If you encounter local hooligans who bully the weak, you will definitely beat them to their knees and beg for mercy before giving up.

Moreover, for some reason, she hates the children of officials and eunuchs in the imperial city very much. When the daughters of other families meet young masters who are similar to her own age, they are all shy and reserved, charming and charming. Willing to take a look at others.

Over time, the rumors about Princess Wuyang became violent and withdrawn. Some even asserted that no man would dare to marry her if the imperial city was turned upside down.

Because Li Saisai hates the sons of officials, especially the sons of officials like Su Qinglang who show off and show off.

Therefore, although the Changshan Prince's Mansion had contacts with the Su family, at first, Su Qinglang and her were not close, they were just acquaintances who grew up together.

Whenever he heard someone talking about Li Saisai, there was only one thought in his mind, the sister next door was too extreme, and even he would stay away from him.

What really brought them together was a chance encounter.

At that time, a dandy in the city made fun of a little beggar on the side of the road, drew a turtle on paper, asked him to give it to a famous bully on the street, and promised to give him cakes in return, but the little beggar was beaten up Well, that dude didn't fulfill his promise, instead he pointed at the little beggar in public and said, "Whether he looks like a stray dog ​​or not."

Everyone roared with laughter, before they finished laughing, they saw the guards outside were thrown in the center of the restaurant.All of a sudden, the tables, chairs and benches were broken into pieces.

Li Saisai learned what had happened from the street, and saw them bullying the weak, so he couldn't help but stand up for the little beggar, and beat up that dude and several people walking with him, especially the little beggar. Dude, she struck so hard that she knocked out a few of her front teeth, and there was blood splattering from her mouth and nose.

Which of the young masters in the city is not spoiled and spoiled, usually even parents are not willing to touch their fingers?

Being beaten like this, not only disfigured, but also lost face, so he ignored it and insulted Li Saisai in public as a meddling tigress.

Li Saisai was furious for a moment and was about to make a move when he heard a burst of laughter from upstairs.

A young man was leaning on the railing, smiling sweetly, and there seemed to be thousands of peach blossoms blooming on his lips, shaking a folding fan in one hand, and said leisurely: "Brother, what you said is wrong, daughters in this world are all priceless treasures, aren't they?" No one wants it, but they dare not want it, and they can't afford it.

You say the princess is not good, but I feel that the princess is generous and honest, she is a kind-hearted person, and I admire him very much, but I am vulgar and ashamed of myself. Knowing that the princess is such a noble figure, even if I have cultivated for eight lifetimes, it is impossible for me to be worthy of it. afford it. "

It wasn't anyone else who interrupted suddenly, but Su Qinglang, the pimple-like young master of the Su family.

At that time, Su Qinglang was not a treacherous minister whom everyone shouted for beatings, but a well-known talent.

He is a talented person, and his face is too beautiful, which naturally arouses many people's pursuit. When it is more intense, Young Master Su only needs to take his time and walk on the street, and he will stand by the windows of the buildings on both sides of the street. Full of girls waving handkerchiefs.

He said this in order to support Li Saisai. After all, he also heard and saw what happened just now, and he was successfully popularized by those people.

Just as he picked up a bench in his hand and was about to throw it down at them, Li Saisai arrived first.

Seeing him come out to speak for Li Saisai, the young master was furious immediately, and shouted at Su Qinglang: "Su Qinglang, we don't violate the river water, what's the matter with you, do you have to intervene?"

Although Su Qinglang is not familiar with Li Saisai, after all, the two families have some friendship, and Li Saisai can be regarded as his half sister. Seeing his sister being said so, he naturally felt protective.

So he leaned on the railing on the second floor and retorted: "This is strange. You said that the princess will not be wanted in the future, but I admire the princess and feel that what you said is wrong. Why is it hindering you? I like it. I like it. What's in your heart can't be controlled by you, and it can't be controlled by me, do you want me to say that I don't like it in order to promise that what brother said is correct?"

Seeing his unreasonable words, the man was very angry, pointed at Su Qinglang and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense, you said you like her, do you dare to swear?"

Being forced to such an extent, Su Qinglang was also on the verge of riding a tiger. Seeing both inside and outside the restaurant, all eyes were looking at them, as if it was unbelievable, how could Su Qinglang, who is a fan of thousands of people, fall in love with Princess Wuyang who is like a dominatrix.

Seeing them like this, Su Qinglang became even more angry, with a cold expression, folded his fan, and said loudly: "Today, I will leave my words here. I, Su Qinglang, have admired the princess all my life. From now on, if she is willing to Marry, I dare to marry."

At that time, young and frivolous, I didn't know what it was, let alone lovesickness deeply.

He just wanted to gain the upper hand first, and he must not let himself and Li Saisai become the laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.

It wasn't until later that Li Saisai fell in love with him and he fell in love with Xie Yu that he realized how wrong he had done.

"If she is willing to marry, I will dare to marry." These eight words have become the catastrophe that plagued Li Saisai's life.

In fact, the lingering longing and turning back and forth did not bring him a trace of love. She understood that he understood that taking a step back, or taking a step further, could lead to a brighter future, but they couldn't stand each other like this, and they looked at each other for so long for many years.

After sending Li Saisai away, Su Qinglang was about to return to the gate of the mansion when he saw Sun Zizhong standing not far away.

It was already the third watch. According to the rules of Sun Zizhong's family, he should sleep at home instead of wandering on the street.

What's more, he was holding two jars of wine in his hand!

Su Qinglang thought he had read it wrong, and was confused for a moment: "Zi Zhong?"

Sun Tzuzhong smiled, raised the wine jar in his hand and said, "I've come to drink with you."

Hearing what he said, Su Qinglang was even more surprised, looked at him for a while, and then extended his arms to invite him into the house.

The two were sitting in the courtyard, Su Qinglang was just about to order someone to bring a cup, but saw Sun Tzuzhong hand him one of the jars of wine, uncorked it himself, raised his head and drank.

Su Qinglang held the wine jar in his hand, looked at him silently for a while, and then asked: "Zizhong, are you in a bad mood today?"

Sun Zizhong responded vaguely, and said lightly: "Some things can't be figured out, so I argued with my grandfather for a few more words."

This is strange, the most obedient and good-looking baby in the world would argue with the grandfather he has always respected and admired, and now he even ran out to drink with him in the middle of the night. It seemed that what troubled him was definitely not an ordinary thing.

Grandson Zhongben is not good at drinking, just now he took two gulps and was choked by the spicy taste so that he coughed.

Su Qinglang reached out and patted him on the back, and said: "What's bothering you, if you don't mind, just tell me about it, maybe it will make you feel better."

Sun Tzuzhong shook his head, coughed a few more times before recovering, and asked, "The one just now is the Princess, right?"

Su Qinglang hummed, thought of something, and asked, "Why were you standing there just now, why didn't you come over?"

The Sun family also had contacts with Changshan Prince's Mansion. Although Sun Zizhong and Li Saisai were not familiar with each other, they were not so far apart that they didn't even say hello.

But Sun Zizhong smiled wryly and said: "With her temperament, except for you, I'm afraid she doesn't want others to see her cry. If that's the case, why should I come here and embarrass her?"

After finishing speaking, he started drinking again. Su Qinglang knew how much he could drink, and even more knew what kind of virtue he was when he was drunk.

So he quickly stopped it and said: "You can't drink, you should stop drinking."

Sun Tzuzhong lowered his head. Under the moonlight, he couldn't see what expression he had on his face. He just said in a low voice: "Qinglang..."

He seemed to be muttering to himself: "Since I was a child, I have always been unable to do this or that. In fact, think about it. At the beginning of life, there are so many rules and regulations. Smile when you are happy, and leave when you are unhappy." Crying, Haishi is just a time, no one has to sleep at this time, can't drink, it doesn't mean not to drink, just like now, even if I don't sleep in the middle of the night and run out of the house, even if I drink so much, I feel very sad It’s uncomfortable, but I’m still me, but I’m no longer the one you think I am…”

Su Qinglang looked at him, vaguely feeling that something must have happened to Sun Zizhong today.

He also heard him say: "I have done an extremely despicable thing in my life. That thing is a heinous and irreversible crime. To this day, even in this poor life, I can't wash it away. Whenever I think of it, I hate it." I have penetrated deep into my bones, and even living, I feel it is a crime... Grandpa taught me to be a gentleman, but I am definitely not a gentleman..."

"That's the thing I regret the most, other than that..."

Sun Zizhong raised his head, looked at Su Qinglang, and said in a daze, "It's been more than 20 years, and I've never really lived..."

Su Qinglang was also dizzy after hearing what he said, not knowing what could make him feel so self-loathing, let alone how to comfort him.

However, there is one thing he knows, although alcohol can't solve the problem, it can temporarily escape the problem, and this kind of escape happens to be what he needs.

So, he raised the wine jar and said to him straightforwardly: "Don't you just want to drink, come, I will accompany you today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return."
