Yanyun Fengyue

That night, Lu Jingyun slept very restlessly. He attributed the reason to the sudden heavy snowfall in the second half of the night, but in fact, the goose-feather-like snowflakes were layered on top of each other, and their small gaps actually absorbed the little noise in the mountains. .The more lonely the world was, the more he felt the sound of his heartbeat was chaotic.Lying on his side on the pillow, the sound of his temples beating up and down disturbed him; lying on his back, he unconsciously looked at the sparkling snowflakes flying outside the window, and then, the beautiful face of the young master of the Xu family, and the soft and calm tone of voice when he spoke, There is also the melodious sound of the piano in the house, turning around in his mind like a revolving lantern...

Feeling that the light in front of him was getting brighter, Lu Jingyun finally sat up a little annoyed. He put on his clothes, went down to push the wooden door, only to find that the snow had fallen so much that it was difficult to push the door.

Grandmother had just come to the kitchen to cook the pot. Perhaps the wife had praised her craftsmanship in front of the master. Today, she prepared the breakfast for the hosts. She had prepared fungus, day lily, dried shiitake mushrooms, frozen persimmons, eggs and other ingredients. Ready, Lu Jingyun chopped some firewood for her, then took the bamboo broom and the load and walked to the stable.

The snowy sky is bright and green, the morning sun is bright and friendly, and the soft falling snow, which no one has stepped on, is first stepped on under his feet, making a creaking sound, bringing a unique pleasure.Lu Jingyun took two deep breaths of the cold air and felt refreshed. He should have been preparing to escape, but at this moment he was overwhelmed by a kind of unreasonable laziness, so he temporarily put the matter of leaving behind him.

He first poured warm water that had not yet frozen into the stone trough, mixed it with a few egg whites, and after the horses had finished drinking, he carried the fodder into the trough, climbed up the ladder by himself, and swept the snow off the roof of the stable. Then he took them to the snow, brushed and combed the dirt and dry knots on the ponytails and hair for them.His handling is skillful and gentle, and the horse's eyes are half-closed softly and comfortably. Lu Jingyun did take care of the horse, but it was only one or two of his own when he was in Ludi, and the bloodline and breed were not so rare.

"This is the old lady's grandson?" Lu Jingyun was picking up the hair that fell on the ground, when he heard this thick voice, he raised his eyes, and saw that the butler had come slowly on the snow, accompanied by a graceful middle-aged man , I think that is the master of the Xu family.

"Exactly." Housekeeper Zhou replied, he looked around and said with a smile, "Look, he does things very neatly."

Master Xu nodded slightly, glanced at Lu Jingyun, felt that the boy was handsome and familiar, so he couldn't help but stop, "Have you served a horse before?"

"En." Lu Jingyun only responded, and continued to work on her own business.

Seeing that he cherishes words like gold, young and mature, Mr. Xu couldn't help smiling a little appreciatively. He went forward to lead away the most energetic black horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back. The housekeeper found a horse and went with him. He patted Lu Jingyun's shoulders to show encouragement, several pairs of horseshoes galloped, blowing up waves of snow and mist with the wind, and splashed on Lu Jingyun's face.

When he returned to the courtyard, the stewed noodles were ready and brought to the inner courtyard. The aroma of fried sauce still lingered in the air. Several servants sniffed their noses and sneaked into the kitchen to inquire if there were any leftovers. Give them a taste of the brine.

Lu Jingyun is not picky about food, he just ate a steamed bun with pickled potherb mustard and pickles, the master and the housekeeper came back talking and laughing, and he went to the stable to settle the horses, so the day's tasks would be easy When he was almost finished, he walked into the kitchen, where his grandmother was staring absently at the empty bowl left after eating the noodles.

"Ru Xing can eat two big bowls of this kind of noodles at a time." The old lady muttered, tears streaming down the furrows, then she sobbed softly, and Lu Jingyun stood beside her without moving, because according to the old Temperament, she must scold him again to vent her resentment towards her daughter-in-law, but at this time there was another noisy voice outside, interrupting the depressing and sad atmosphere between them, "Oh, what is this snow?" Sweeping? There are still dead tree leaves curling up here, don’t you see? Also, what are you doing sitting here? Don’t you know you want to cook bird’s nest? The fourth grandma is waiting!”

The old lady Lu still saves face, seeing those maids running in to boil water, she wiped away her tears and washed the pot. Lu Jingyun stepped out and saw that it was the young servant who screamed strangely yesterday. The little eunuch.

When the little eunuch saw Lu Jingyun, his face changed, he was a little curious, but also a little excited, he walked up to Lu Jingyun and muttered: "Hey, you changed your clothes, you still look... pretty handsome Tsk tsk, it really is that people depend on clothes, and horses depend on saddles!"

Lu Jingyun thought he was noisy, so he didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the yard. The little eunuch stomped his feet angrily, but couldn't help following, "Hey, you are just a horseman, why are you arrogant. I don't praise people easily of!"

Lu Jingyun still ignored him. He had no interest in the Xu family at first, but after last night he began to observe everything around him, and became curious about the depths of the house. He wanted to know about the young master of the Xu family from the eunuch. , but his strong self-esteem did not allow him to take the initiative to inquire about his boss.

He ignored the follower behind him, and just walked slowly and aimlessly under the brick wall. At this moment, the sound of the piano sounded appropriately inside the wall again, confirming the thoughts of the young man here. Lu Jingyun stopped and looked up, a branch of red The plum protruded obliquely from the eaves, and landed on the gray wall like a painting with too much blank space. A magpie tilted its long tail up and down on the branch, and then spread its wings and flew away. Dingdong flowing out like spring water.

"You..." The little eunuch leaned in front of him, saw him make a gesture of silencing himself, and lowered his voice knowingly, "You won't want to peek at our young master again, will you?"

"Why should I take a peek." Lu Jingyun quickly turned around and walked away quickly, the back of his ears were slightly red, but luckily he was wearing a hat, his panic was not seen by others.

"It's normal to take a peek." The little eunuch rubbed his chin proudly, "'If you want to find the rare culture of Liaobei, the Xu Mansion in Qishan has a lot of it." Their appearance and talent can also surpass the southerners!"

"It's not very clear, but, doesn't your young master usually go out?" Lu Jingyun couldn't help asking after thinking about what happened last night.

"Hey, you've never heard of this! No, even though you can't enter the inner courtyard, I have to find a chance for you to see what is the beauty of the world!" The little eunuch is not so loose on weekdays, but he Bewitched by Lu Jingyun's handsome appearance, and with admiration for his young master, he started talking endlessly.

It turned out that the Xu family had four wives and two sons. The eldest master Xu Fengmian followed the family tradition many years ago, but died in the line of duty. Master Xu was hit. After the second wife gave birth to the second son 14 years ago, the family moved In Shanyuanli, on weekdays, the second young master is only asked to practice some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and read some ancient books. I'm pregnant, and it's time to give birth in a few days. Whether it's a man or a woman, I think it's another treasure of Master Xu's heart.

"Our young master's paintings have to be auctioned in the city if we want to get them." The little eunuch didn't stop talking about his young master's attainments in "qin, chess, and books", especially his talent in paintings. When the sound of the zither stopped abruptly, there was also the sound of screams and confusion from the courtyard, and the maids outside all ran in in a panic, only one ran from the inside to the outside and panted and called the little eunuch, "Qiu Li, hurry up!" Go back and help, fourth grandma is about to give birth!"

The mansion that had just finished bustling last night suddenly became noisy again. The Xu family used to have a private doctor, but it was still early, and the doctor was not in the mansion, so the housekeeper drove to look for it. At that time, the cry of the baby finally resounded loudly in the house, and everyone was overjoyed, telling each other that the mother and child were safe.

The fourth wife gave birth to a girl. Although Mr. Xu favored sons over daughters and was somewhat disappointed, he still expressed strong joy and consideration because of his doting on her. He stayed in the room with the doll in his arms and did not come out. Prepared supplements for the parturient, Lu Jingyun looked at the panic in the mansion this afternoon, and couldn't tell what it was like, he couldn't help but think of his own mother - after suffering the pain of pregnancy and bringing him into the world, how could he be so ruthless? What about abandoning yourself?Since he and his father used to be in harmony with each other and raised eyebrows in the same case, why did they find someone else a month after his death?

How easy is it to change the word love?Family affection is like this, how can love be as solid as a rock?She is really cruel hearted.Lu Jingyun thought silently, holding back again and again, the fire of sorrow and anger still filled his heart, he went back to the kitchen to scoop some water to drink, only to see the little eunuch running in and waving at him, "Hey, you Come with me."

As if Lu Jingyun had received a secret hint, he followed the little eunuch to a secluded place, and the little eunuch took out a narrow note and stuffed it into his hand, "You are really strict, I have been talking to you for so long this morning. , I dare you to meet the young master! This is from the young master, remember to keep it secret!" After he finished speaking, he hurried back to the inner courtyard, Lu Jingyun took the ink-scented note, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, looking forward to , unbelievable, and unknown anxiety swept him dizzy, and he mustered up the courage to quickly unfold it and take a look, only to see the words Luan Xiang Feng Zhu on it, just like the astonishment of the person who wrote it: I wish to see you in front of the stable in the middle of the night. Jun.

The goose-yellow full moon is like a layer of veil, hazy and half hidden behind the clouds, and the snow particles on the wilderness are shining endlessly moving silver light, which seems to echo with the distant stars. Lu Jingyun walked to the stable At that time, Xu Jiangmian was already waiting there. Today, instead of wearing the black clothes he intended to escape, he was wrapped in an ermine coat that matched the white snow. The legging trousers were tucked into the leather boots. Although he was a bit bulky, it made him appear to have a long waist and thin legs. When Lu Jingyun looked at his appearance again, he could taste the endless elegance. After finally calming down, his mood was in a mess again.

"I was prepared to wait all night, but fortunately you came as promised." The young man said with a smile, his two dimples were shining, but there was a trace of unique sadness hidden, so the originally bright and dazzling appearance was also coated with a touch of sadness. cool.

"Why did you call me here?" Lu Jingyun asked.

"Don't worry, I just want to ask you to teach me how to ride a horse. It's also good to go for a walk in the mountains at midnight." Xu Jiangmian smiled and pointed behind him, and said, "You walk with me on the horse, and I have silver dollars as a gift."

When Lu Jingyun heard the previous sentence, he was still harboring anticipation, and when he heard that he was going to give him silver dollars, he suddenly felt unhappy, so he turned around and walked back, "I am not short of silver dollars, Second Young Master, please ask another wise man."

"Please stay." Xu Jiangmian was secretly startled by this person's aloofness, and quickly stepped forward to grab his arm, "I'm asking for advice sincerely, and I don't have any other intentions... I really don't know what you lack, and I'm afraid it will be in vain. Time for strength... I was the one who was abrupt just now, so I have to apologize to my brother first."

He was not very old, and it was at the time when the boy's voice changed, with some unavoidable hoarseness, but he still couldn't hide his clear and pleasant voice. This brother's call went straight into Lu Jingyun's heart, and he couldn't bear to shake off the young master's hand. Thinking about it again, he felt that he was sensitive. In his heart, he was more willing to treat him as a partner of the same age, but they are still just master and servant. There is nothing wrong with Xu Jiangmian paying silver dollars.

Seeing him stop, Xu Jiangmian seemed to be loosening up, and hurriedly said, "Don't you know my elder brother's name is Taifu?"

"My surname is Lu, and my surname is Yuanzhao." After all, he is the owner. Lu Jingyun also got off the donkey along the slope, turned around and walked towards the stable, unlocked the door, and led out the third red horse from the left. You have a stable and gentle temperament, go up and try."

"Okay." After Lu Jingyun stabilized the harness and instructed the key points of grasping the hoop and holding the rein tightly, Xu Jiangmian carefully climbed onto the horse's back with nervousness, and Lu Jingyun stretched his arms under the horse to protect him. He also told him some methods of self-protection, but seeing that the young man's movements were erratic after all, he thought that if something happened, he would not be responsible for it, so he proposed to change to a longer saddle, and the two of them rode on the same horse.

"Brother Yuanzhao is protecting you, that would be great." Xu Jiangmian jumped off the horse, and the two of them tied the saddle together. Lu Jingyun took the reins and helped him up. He wrapped his arms around his arms, swung the whip with his right arm to urge the horse to move forward, and when the horse was sent away, he suddenly felt that there was almost no gap between him and Xu Jiangmian, and the fragrance of grass and trees drifted over from the young man, making him feel He was secretly fascinated, and the boy looked thin, but his hips were round and plump, and he was rubbing against his own place...

In the cold night, Lu Jingyun's face turned red and hot. He suddenly felt that his lower body was swollen, and he wanted to urinate, and every time he touched Master Xu's buttocks through thick clothes, he would feel a feeling that he had never felt before. There was an indescribably strange sense of comfort, and he wanted to lean closer... He suppressed the desire in his heart, and moved back a little distance without a trace.
