Gusu snow

When Qin Mei rushed over, Yunfeng was already waiting on horseback.There was a hint of doubt between Qin's sisters, but she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she quickly ate her breakfast, gave Yun Shen and Qian Qiu a few words, and got into the carriage.The carriage galloped all the way, and soon disappeared away from Yunfu.

"Isn't the general not required to go to court?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully.

He knew that because the king of Qi had issued an imperial decree, Yunfeng had made great military achievements, and he was not required to go to court with the special permission, so they moved to Lin'an.

However, Yunfeng would also go to the court several times in the months when there was no war, in order to dispel King Qi's suspicion and court rumors, to show his loyalty, and to avoid being accused of being arrogant.

"It's not going to court." Yun Shen turned and walked into the mansion, "The second prince's letter said that he went back to Gusu first. Because, when he got up early in the morning, he found that the prince and his guards had disappeared overnight, so he asked Only then did I know that they had already left before midnight last night."

"Ah!" Qianqiu suddenly said, "No wonder Suyu said last night that the guards are not strict, so it was all a cover!" His mind suddenly turned quickly: "But what is all this for? That masked man you said People are probably a cover, they are afraid that you will find Xiuxiu in person and discover their purpose.

That's why they asked you out, testing you was just an excuse for them, the real purpose was to... return to Beijing early? "

"It's almost inseparable." Yun Shen slightly sipped his tea ceremony, "If the crown prince and Shen Yue plan to rebel, of course it's better to go back to Beijing to take the initiative before everyone's eyes and ears. Xiu heard about their plan, and kidnapped Yunxiu because she was afraid that things would be revealed."

"Testing me should be their idea of ​​taking advantage of the sheep. Of course, it is also a cover to make us mistakenly kidnap Yunxiu to get me to join them..."

Yun Shen said, "It's hard for us to think too much when we are in a hurry. When we think about it, they have already left Lin'an safely. But we can't catch any evidence of them."

Qian Qiu opened his mouth slightly: "Didn't you never pay attention to these things?"

"Of course I don't care." Yun Shen motioned to Zhu Jiang to exchange tea, "So they rebelled or not, and I have nothing to do with it."

Qianqiu bulged her cheeks.

Only Yun Shen said indifferently: "The imperial court, something important will happen in the next few months."

In the morning, Qianqiu took care of Yunxiu, played with her to make her happy, and Yun Shen was painting in the study, while watching the two people playing around.

He is painting Begonia at the moment, which is No. 80 of his Hundred Flowers Picture, and let Zhu Jiang put away the other paintings properly.

During the period, except that the Mu family sent someone to say that the Mu family originally wanted to come to apologize, but they couldn't come because they were suddenly anxious to go back to Gusu, nothing else happened.

It was night in a flash, Qianqiu still remembered the punishment of kneeling, put on his clothes and sighed, and went to the ancestral hall.

The closer he got to the ancestral hall, the more he felt pain and weakness in his knees. It wasn't because he had never kneeled before, but because he had kneeled out of the shadows. Besides, it was such a terrifying number of three hours.

Yun Shen was wearing a dark blue coat and a white cloak, standing outside the ancestral hall, and waved when he saw him coming.

After setting up two round cushions in the ancestral hall, Yun Shen lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down first.Qianqiu looked at the dimly lit ancestral hall, and then knelt down.

Kneeling as punishment requires introspection.The two of them consciously kept their mouths closed, Yun Shen closed his eyes, and knelt motionless, Qian Qiu was restless, and couldn't kneel for a while.

He glanced cautiously at Yunshen who had his eyes closed, held his breath and turned back, only to see a very cold moon hidden behind the thin clouds, then turned his head and moved his sore knees, imitating Yun Shen closed his eyes.

Suddenly a cold wind blows.

Qian Qiu closed his eyes for a long time and began to doze off, caught off guard by the cold wind, he woke up with a jolt, and felt chilly all over his body.

Yun Shen opened his eyes, looking at Qianqiu with clear eyes: "Is Qianqiu cold?"

Qianqiu tried hard to hold back the desire to tremble: "Fortunately..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another gust of cold wind blew in, Qian Qiu's body trembled violently, and he looked up at Yun Shen in embarrassment.

Yun Shen had already started to untie the cloak on his body, and handed it to Qianqiu: "How many times have I told you that you can't stand the cold, you need to wear more clothes."

Qian Qiu embarrassedly put on the cloak that kept Yun Shen's body temperature, and suddenly felt a lot warmer on his body: "I was not afraid of this wind..."

Sensing Yun Shen's increasingly gentle gaze, he hurriedly coughed, "I'm wearing less clothes."

"En." Yun Shen looked away, looked at the tablet in the ancestral hall and said, "It's still an hour and a half."

After talking, Qianqiu couldn't keep his mouth shut for an hour and a half.

He moved his numb knee again, trying to make himself more comfortable, and said, "Yun Shen..."

"Ok?"

"I once thought about one thing, what would have happened to me if you hadn't rescued me from the snow that year..." Qian Qiu smiled slightly, "Actually, the answer is very simple, it is death. But you, You rescued me and gave me such a good life, and the general and his wife treated me like their own son. I never thought of such a life, so I am very satisfied and thank you very much."

Yun Shen listened intently.

"You hate the imperial court and officialdom. I don't envy wealth and vanity. I just want to be by your side." Qianqiu said, "My talent is not as outstanding as yours, and my martial arts can't match, but I have nothing else to ask for, at least know how to be content and be happy Live in the moment." After speaking, he sighed deeply, but he was not discouraged: "This way, it will be very good."

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Qianqiu don't need to underestimate yourself, you still have your own advantages."

"What is it?" Qianqiu looked at him expectantly.

Yun Shen said: "We value love and righteousness."

Qianqiu looked at himself: "Where did you see it?"

Yun Shen said with a smile in his eyes, "You don't envy vanity and wealth, because you are willing to stay by my side who doesn't want to be an official because of the grace of saving your life, which is enough to show that you value friendship."

Qian Qiu was a little dissatisfied and said: "Then, isn't that Su Yu also willing to repay the spring for saving his life?"

"It's different." Yun Shen turned his head sideways, "He's a quack, and he has his own pursuits. Besides, it's hard to guarantee that the quack will not sell his so-called friendship for profit."

"Hmm." Qianqiu nodded, "I'm a little hungry."

"I don't have anything to eat." Yun Shen Shi suddenly turned his head.

"I have." After saying that, Qianqiu took out two steamed buns from his bosom, "Yun Shen, do you want it?"

Yun Shen: "..."

He suddenly remembered that Qianqiu asked him if he could eat in the ancestral hall when he was punished to kneel last year. At that time, he nodded his head when he saw how horrible his kneeling was. Unexpectedly, he remembered it very well, and brought the steamed buns before the rainy day.

Yun Shen thought about it, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Forget it, he himself is not a pedantic person, so let him eat when he is hungry.

An hour and a half passed quickly.Yun Shen stood up slowly, his knees were sore and difficult to move.

He looked at Qian Qiu beside him, who had already fallen asleep on his knees.Zhu Jiang quickly ran over, reaching out his hand to help Yunshen: "My lord..."

Yun Shen raised his hand: "Go and help Qianqiu."

Zhu Jiang looked at Qianqiu from behind, then went around to the front, and carefully pushed Qianqiu: "Master?"

"Huh? Is it time?" Qianqiu opened his sleepy eyes, stretched his waist and stood up abruptly, and immediately screamed a few times in pain, so frightened that Zhu Jiang hurriedly held his hand: "Master, are you alright?"

Qianqiu rubbed his knees and gasped for air-conditioning, with tears in his eyes, his expression was very miserable: "It's okay, it's okay, then, Zhu Jiang, I miss my bed very much now, please help me go back first, okay?"

"Oh, slow down, young master." Zhu Jiangdao, "Young master, are you alright?"

Yun Shen's knees were indeed sore and weak, but he still insisted: "It's nothing serious..."

Zhu Jiang hurriedly supported Qianqiu to leave, settled Qianqiu and turned back, but Yun Shen came out from the other side and handed Zhu Jiang a bottle of wound medicine: "Give it to Qianqiu tomorrow, let him apply it."

Zhu Jiang nodded and accepted, supported Yun Shen and said, "Young Master, be careful."

The sun was rising three poles, Qianqiu finally woke up.

He looked out the window and slowly recovered his sanity, remembering the pain of last night.He moved his knees under the quilt, but still felt the pain was unbearable, and he didn't want to get up even more. He slowly turned over and saw the white cloak folded on the shelf.Qian Qiu blinked, lifted the quilt and sat up, but decided to get out of bed.

However, thinking is easier than doing, Qianqiu never thought that one day getting out of bed would be a big pain.

As soon as Zhu Jiang opened the door, he saw Qianqiu almost paralyzed on the ground: "..."

Qianqiu felt very embarrassed: "..."

Zhu Jiang swallowed his saliva: "Master, what are you doing?"

Qian Qiu said: "Didn't you see it? I'm walking."

"But how did I see you crawling?"

"That can only prove that there is something wrong with your eyes, why don't you go see a doctor."

"Uh..." Zhu Jiang frantically helped Qian Qiu up and sat on the edge of the bed, and took off the cloak from the shelf under his signal.Zhu Jiang took out a bottle of wound medicine from his bosom and handed it to Qianqiu, "Young master, this was given to you by the young master last night."

"Thank you." Qian Qiu grinned in pain, and hurriedly stopped when Zhu Jiang was about to leave, "Hey, I'll give this cloak myself."

Zhu Jiang glanced suspiciously at Qianqiu's knee: "Are you sure?"

Qianqiu: "Uh, I can walk."

Zhu Jiang had no choice but to go back and give him the cloak in his hand: "I don't think you can walk, but you can move it?"

Qian Qiu moved to the lobby and had lunch with Yun Shen who was walking slowly, Yun Xiu kept giggling and smiling at Qian Qiu.

"Is it funny?" Qian Qiu was dissatisfied.

"Funny." Yunxiu was overjoyed.

Qianqiu glanced at Yun Shen: "Why don't you laugh at Yun Shen but want to laugh at me?"

Yunxiu raised her eyebrows mischievously: "Because my brother is not as embarrassed as you are."

Qianqiu: "..."

Yun Shen finally said, "What does Xiuxiu want to do today?"

Yunxiu crossed her hips and thought for a while: "I'm fine, but I feel bored staying at home."

She clapped her hands suddenly: "Ah, by the way, there is a storyteller in Minglou today. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I'll go and listen."

"Then let's go." Yun Shen nodded in agreement.

"Call a few servants who know some hands and feet to go with you." Qian Qiu hurriedly added, "The martial arts of the servants in our general's mansion will not be too bad. Call a few more to prevent problems before they happen."

Yunxiu squinted at him: "Brother Qianqiu, at least I know martial arts."

Qian Qiu said: "Who caused Yun Shen and I to kneel for three hours?"

Yunxiu compromised: "Okay, okay, I'll bring a few more, then I'll go first!"

Zhu Jiang came in to clean up the dishes and offered two cups of tea.Yun Shen lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, "New tea?"

"Yes, what do you think, son?"

"It's okay." Yun Shen put down his teacup and asked gently, "What is Qianqiu planning to do?"

Qian Qiu shrugged: "You see, my legs can't move, what can I do? It's better to practice calligraphy."

Yun Shen was slightly surprised, and said with a smile, "It's rare..."

Qian Qiu muttered: "Why do I not want to study in your heart?"

Yun Shen laughed: "Since Qianqiu wants to practice calligraphy, then come to my study."
