Yanyun Fengyue

The coolness in summer evenings is extremely rare. No matter how sticky the maemis are in the garden, they still seem to be hidden in the canopy of the trees.During the interval between their wings flapping, the wall courtyard became extremely quiet. Lu Jingyun walked into the courtyard with a bowl of fresh and smooth cold noodles. Since Miss Ren came, Lu Jingyun has not seen Xu Jiangmian, if it was not for the latter at night If he didn't eat, he might not come today.

Across the rockery around the corridor, he could hear the slow swaying of the oars, and the night wind sent the lotus fragrance, as if carrying a long and distant feeling. After a few steps forward, he saw the boy sitting alone on the boat, His fingertips lightly touched the cold water beside him, drawing lines of flowing lines, and the little yellow dog Youyou was already sleeping soundly on his lap.

"Meals should be eaten on time." Lu Jingyun stood still on the shore, waiting for him to get off the boat. Xu Jiangmian raised his head, and the thin moon behind the cloud silently fell on the ivory red on the edge of the wall, overflowing with some elegant dandelions. Fei, smeared on his face like rouge half-transparent.

"If it weren't for that, you probably wouldn't have come today." He sighed softly and put You You on the boat. Even though they didn't meet today, Xu Jiangmian could feel Lu Jingyun's deliberate alienation from him.

"A mare gave birth today, and we need help in the stable." Lu Jingyun was almost driven crazy by his own thoughts, but he refrained from asking about Miss Ren, perhaps because he was unwilling to accept the result in his heart, and wandered around Woke up early, it smelled the aroma of cold noodles, and happily circled around his feet greedily.

"I haven't been out for a few days. Going to the riverside?" Xu Jiangmian stood up from the boat and asked with a smile.

Lu Jingyun nodded, tapped the porcelain bowl with his fingers, "Eat the noodles first."

After Xu Jiangmian finished eating, the two of them sneaked out of the courtyard wall from the old place and walked into the stable. The horse's snorting heat came in waves, and Xu Jiangmian was sweating lightly for some reason. Squeeze a horse by yourself, and just sit on the horse and walk out.

In midsummer, there are clusters of flowers, the forest is deep and the grass is luxuriant. The cool and fragrant night mist penetrates through the clothes, and the body becomes moist, which soothes Xu Jiangmian's nervous mood. The road on the mountain is steep and narrow, but they are already very familiar with this place, silently Pulling the reins carefully, the horse also landed its hooves on the stone road accurately and steadily, making a rattling sound, and the sound of water in the distance seemed to wash away people's souls.

When the fight turns out of the mountains and forests, there is Yiyi on the reed bank and the misty Songjiang River. The abundant rain in spring and summer endows it with a wider water surface and more exciting power. In the past, Xu Jiang Mian got off his horse and stood on the bank. When he pushed aside the reeds around him, he saw a grass nest built by a few ducks, and couldn't help smiling softly.At this time, the quiet clouds in the sky suddenly flowed. It turned out to be the south wind. The corner of the boy's gown was thrown high. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the people behind him. Lu Jingyun met his eyes and felt that he had already integrated into this summer In the evening wind.

When he came back to his senses, the young man had already walked in front of him, took out a scroll from his arms, and gently unfolded it, "Yuan Zhao, happy birthday... No, it should be said that every day from now on is safe and joyful."

Lu Jingyun couldn't help being surprised and surprised, "How do you know my birthday?"

"Anyway, I know, June [-]th." Xu Jiangmian smiled triumphantly. A long time ago, he specially asked Qiu Li to go to the outer hall to find out from Grandma Lu. Fortunately, he did not miss it this year. He handed the bamboo tube for the painting to Lu Jingyun ,"It's for you."

Lu Jingyun looked down at the painting, and it was all filled in. Even the rustling red leaves in autumn were already vivid on the paper. A horse and a pair of people were standing by the Songjiang River at the turn of spring and summer.

Although he was delighted that the other party secretly inquired about his birthday, but this painting should not be completed in such a hurry. He had a vague premonition, and then felt that the weight of the bamboo tube was extraordinarily heavy. Stack silver dollars. "This is……"

"Yuanzhao has reached the age to be admitted to university and military academy from today..." Xu Jiangmian smiled, "Why don't you give it a try? Grandma Lu is in Xu's house... I will take care of you."

Lu Jingyun thought about the intention of Xu Jiangmian's words, but he still couldn't figure it out. He stared at him blankly and said, "Didn't I say it before, we want to go together."

Seeing his expression, Xu Jiangmian felt aching and sour in his heart. He had already seen the request for military academy registration in the newspaper, so he sighed heavily, "You and I will go together, I'm afraid grandma won't be able to stay in Xu's house...in two more days. In [-], the age to enter the Guoan Military Academy will be over. After thinking about it, this is the only way. As for the letter of introduction for joining the army, I can imitate my father's handwriting and send one to Commander Shen of the Liaobei Chen'an Army." He added cruelly. The last sentence was, "Brother Yuanzhao, I met Miss Ren today, and I feel that we are suitable for each other. After all, I am going to get married in a year or two. If you want to leave...you can go at ease."

Suddenly there was a sound of thunder in his ears, and the flowing clouds that had just left unintentionally condensed together at some point, and were severely split by lightning. Lu Jingyun fell into the most difficult situation since he was born in the dark purple light. The situation, Xu Jiangmian is steady and kind-hearted. Since he promised to take care of his grandmother, he must have no worries... But his expression of satisfaction with the Ren family lady just now is really heart-wrenching... Lu Jingyun is completely at the moment. I understand, in fact, he didn't want to leave these few months, but how could he let go of the young man in front of him, and he didn't want to see him sticking to this compound like this... But now that he has a future partner, it's just You really don't need yourself anymore.

"Do you really think it's suitable for her?" After the words came out, Lu Jingyun felt that he was being stupid. Xu Jiangmian's meaning was very clear, and Miss Ren was indeed beautiful, so what was he still doubting.

"Personalities complement each other, so we can get along with each other." Xu Jiangmian lowered his eyes, but his pupils couldn't help getting wet. He was still thinking silently in his heart, "Weak water is three thousand, I only take your scoop... But I'm really sorry, this time I can't say what I want to say.

"Thank you for your painting." Late at night, Lu Jingyun carefully rolled up the painting. He poured out the silver dollars from the bamboo tube and put them back in Xu Jiangmian's palm. His self-esteem did not allow him to accept Xu Jiangmian's help. No need, there is no need to open a letter of introduction, I don't have to go to military school."

"Yuanzhao, I don't need silver dollars at all when I'm in the house every day, and I keep them as long as I keep them, you..." Before Xu Jiangmian finished speaking, Lu Jingyun decided to go away, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the big raindrops were rushing In the fall, Lu Jingyun tightly protected the bamboo tube in front of his chest, jumped on the back of the horse, turned the horse around, walked a few steps, and finally couldn't help taking off his coat and throwing it behind him, "Use this to cover your head, don't catch a cold .”

Xu Jiangmian smelled the familiar scent on his gown, and finally couldn't help the tears dripping down. Fortunately, the wind and rain were dark, his cheeks were already wet, and the people in front didn't look back.

They rode their horses one after the other and trotted towards the direction of the house. Xu Jiangmian lowered his head all the way, his hand holding the rein was trembling unconsciously. He thought it was a good thing to push him away. He had already thought through the decision, but he really wanted to say goodbye at this time, but he was very reluctant in his heart, because if Lu Jingyun really went, the time to see each other would be very few in the future.

Xu Jiangmian was thinking wildly, but when he heard the commotion in front of him, he raised his eyes and couldn't help being surprised. The front two horses were all his servants. The two leading horses were his father and housekeeper Zhou, and Lu Jingyun's horse had already been blocked by them.

Xu Jiangmian's heart was beating wildly. Before he could ride his horse, several servants rushed up and dragged Lu Jingyun off the horse.

Xu Jiangmian got off his horse and ran over. In the heavy rain, he saw his father's flushed and furious face. Since he could remember, he had never seen his father's expression like this. He heard him shouting loudly, "Okay, You really have grown up and are promising! No wonder you like this kid so much, it turns out that he has been taking you out at night!!"

Xu Jiangmian immediately stood in front of Lu Jingyun, "It's because I'm depressed that I insist on him accompanying me, and it has nothing to do with him!"

"Irrelevant?! Then when did your horse ride so neatly?" Xu Yiqin was so angry that his hands trembled, he stared at Lu Jingyun fiercely and said, "After all, you are a wolf cub who can't be raised and tamed. It's a waste of bad ideas. I have a lot of trust! Come, call me!!"

Because of Lu Jingyun's handsome appearance, he always attracted the admiration of the young maids in the courtyard, and the master behind him also transferred him to the inner courtyard. Hit Lu Jingyun's back, buttocks, and legs so hard that Xu Jiangmian's eyes were bloodshot. He desperately broke free from the servant's grasp and defended Lu Jingyun, "Why do you hit someone! He is not from the old days. Slave! Didn't sign the contract of sale!"

Lu Jingyun was hit hard by a few sticks, and the pain was already painful. In the mud stirred up by the rain, he felt his thin and warm body tightly covering him, so he pushed him away subconsciously. , that person is willing to block a block, he is extremely satisfied.

"What's the point of beating someone? Even if I kill this lowly kid, no one in Liaobei City would dare to do anything to me!" Xu Yiqin was furious when he saw his son protecting him without knowing how serious it was, and raised his hand, There was even a servant who restrained Xu Jiangmian to death. During Xu Jiangmian's struggle, the silver coins on his body fell to the ground, and everyone was stunned.

Xu Yiqin realized in a moment, mistakenly thinking that he was going to flee tonight, and was even more furious. With a loud shout, the wooden sticks fell down one after another, and the puddle under Lu Jingyun's body was already fainted with blood.

When Xu Jiangmian saw the red, he felt that a hole had been severely gouged out in his heart. Self-blame and despair made him almost collapse. In the confusion, he snatched the wooden halberd from a servant, and pointed the iron blade at himself. It turned out that at this time he could only use the most helpless and ridiculous way to protect him, "Father, you give him the silver dollar and let him go with Grandma Lu, or I'll stick it like this!"

"Are you crazy?!" Seeing the courage and determination of his always gentle and gentle son, Master Xu was once again shocked, "I can't blame you for ignoring Miss Ren today, so it turned out that he led me to ruin it! I want to run away!"

"Father, I have been trapped in this house since I was a child. You don't know the pain. He is my only friend. Do you understand..." The halberd in Xu Jiangmian's hand had already touched his neck, At this time, no matter who comes to snatch the iron blade, he may be scratched, his tears flowed freely on his fair cheeks with the torrential rain, "You let him go, I will never step out of the house again in my life! "

Hearing this, Xu Yiqin's anger calmed down a little. He looked at the young man who was lying on the ground in front of him. He knew how hard it was to beat someone with a hard stick. One type of prisoner, a sturdy man in his 50s or [-]s, would scream after being beaten ten times, but this boy gritted his teeth and closed his eyes without saying a word, he really has a bit of a strong backbone...

"Master, that's all, just drive him out." Steward Zhou was so frightened that he was drenched in sweat. At this moment, he dared to open his mouth when he saw Xu Yiqin's face softened. .

"I've spared his life, do you still want to be in a daze here?" Xu Yiqin asked his son coldly.

"If you agree to this matter, I will keep my word." Xu Jiangmian threw the wooden halberd to the ground vigorously.
