Da Deyun

This morning, the young master ate breakfast early and went out to the academy; he had to ask his master about his homework, he had to teach younger students, and he had to help plan the teaching circle for the spring. Thinking about it, he was really busy Already.

The second master does not need to go to court today after taking a rest. After eating breakfast, he is planning to ask the young master to go to the academy with him; staying in the yard alone for a long time will only get colder and colder. It is just right to go out to see the warm sun and prosperity good.

The young man guarding the courtyard said that the young master went to the academy just after dawn, and the second master ran away.I don't think there is anything, it's good if he can work hard, and he doesn't have the mind to think about other things.

When he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the sound of carpenters sawing in the yard, and there was a lot of noise and work.The second master took a look in and asked casually, "What are you busy with early in the morning?"

The boy arched his back and smiled: "Cut the bamboos! The young master told me to chop all the bamboos before going out."

The footsteps of the second master who didn't care at first seemed to be walking away.After a sharp pause, he turned his head and was about to yell, what kind of bamboo should I cut properly!But when the words came to his lips, he could only sigh, and told the boy: "Transplant it in my yard."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in response: "Okay! I'll give you an order to go, and I'll fall over for you in a while!"

The second master nodded, and walked out of the yard slowly with his hands behind his back.

The carriage was waiting at the gate of the mansion earlier, and a small guard stood by the side in a straight and solemn manner.Second Master got into the carriage, ordered to go to the academy, and then sat in the carriage frowning. .His face was unclear.

It's quick to get to the academy, but it's only on the middle of the mountain. If you don't come for a long time, you will feel that the road is a bit bumpy.It was already early when Er Ye got off the car, the students in the academy were probably eating breakfast, but few of them were studying in the academy early.

The second master didn't go to the school to see, nor did he talk to the seniors, but he nodded and smiled when he met the students; he went straight to the west courtyard familiarly.

The courtyard on the west side is already secluded, and there are green bamboos planted everywhere in the courtyard, which gives a leisurely and elegant atmosphere when walking around in summer; now it’s been a long time since I’ve seen old people, and there’s no one to visit on weekdays, and it’s another season of winter frost and snow , is full of white bleak coolness.

The second master walked into the yard, and saw a black cloak embroidered with silk beside the stone table in the yard.

The man heard footsteps and turned to look at him. .It is the young master.

Where did he get the black cloak?The stature is not strong, and it makes people look a bit dull and lifeless for no reason.The second master frowned and took two steps closer, smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Isn't this the color I stole from my closet~"

After the trip to the northwest, there was no other color in his wardrobe except for Yang Jiu's craftsmanship.

Maybe because I lost a lot of weight and didn't bother to make clothes, I bought black clothes casually; or maybe because I became king and commander, wearing darker colors looks more stable and can hold people down.

But what is this young master for?

Hearing the old uncle's ridicule, the young master smiled lightly and explained: "Xiaozhen sent it."

The second master was not there when she delivered it that day, so it's no wonder she didn't know about it; but the young master can wear it, which makes people happy for the two of them.

The second master smiled and nodded, then lifted his robe and sat on the stone chair, crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the young master: "Why are you here?"

The young master didn't intend to avoid his eyes at all, he sat in front of him generously, and said with a smile: "I should ask you first, right?"

That's right, this is Deyun Academy, the whole academy is where our young master likes to be; besides, he came first, right?Anyway, there is a first come first served.

The second master raised his eyebrows, looked indifferent, and tilted his head with a childish smile: "I thought the bamboo here would not survive~"

There are so many bamboos, all of them have been cut down... The west courtyard will become bald!There is still a little bit of scenery to see.This is obviously because he knew that he cut down the bamboo at home and used this as a joke.

The young master cracked his lips and smiled, still a little pale: "I didn't plant it, I'm not that wicked."

The bamboo at home was planted one by one by himself when he was a child, because there is bamboo in the west courtyard of the academy but not at home. He hoped that when someone came back to live in the mansion, they would feel happier seeing the bamboo.

Second Master looked at him.His eyes flickered, and he looked down at the bamboo leaves that had been wilted by the frost and snow, and said slowly: "It's cruel to cut down the ones you planted yourself."

"My old uncle..." The young master shook his head and laughed a few times, as if he felt that the words of the man in front of him were stupid: "It's just a few bamboos, don't you all expect me to be sensible? Why are you living more and more?" Going back haha..."

The young master was also a hard-working and intelligent child when he was young. He was naughty but he was decent after all, and he never did anything that insulted the family.In terms of being sensible, he has always been sensible, but this sensibleness overwhelms him; and everyone talks about being sensible. .It doesn't mean that, it's just that he wants him to take on the responsibilities he was born with.

The young master's expression was calm, and the smile on his face did not seem to be fake, as if it was no different from the way he talked and laughed happily in the past.The second master looked at him, trying to discern whether the current him was the real him.

Those who have nothing to love in their hearts are not afraid of mountains and rivers.

If you are really not afraid, why can't you tolerate that small piece of green bamboo?

I planted it myself, and saw it grow tall, lush and vibrant, and then cut it myself.

The second master smiled, not wanting to continue this unpleasant topic, and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm free today, let's go drink some soju together!"

"My little aunt still allows you to drink?" The young master teased him with a smile. .There was an indistinct envy in his eyes.

"Have a drink and enjoy yourself." The second master showed the mischievous look he had when he was a child again: "Is she still willing to beat me?"

"Who would dare!" The atmosphere became more relaxed, and the two chatted and laughed like in the past: "You will be broken if you hit it now, and everyone who goes out is afraid that you will touch the porcelain!"

The more you talk, the more fun you will have.The two walked out of the yard side by side, first greeted the teachers, and arranged the students' practice in the academy for today; after giving instructions, it was almost noon, and then they boarded the carriage and went out to the city to drink.

It was time for dinner, and the restaurant was overcrowded.Fortunately, it was our master who came, and Xiao Er packed up the private room to entertain the two masters.Coming up together, the girls at the last few tables were all dazzled. It's a pity that such a good boy got engaged early, and he will marry in the middle of the year. It's only because he is not blessed.

The young master took a look at the expressions of the girls, they were dressed in plain clothes, their expressions were shy and reddish, and they looked like they were just beginning to fall in love.Turning around and laughing with the second master: "Old uncle, you have to walk steadily, you have the hearts of many girls!"

The second master was amused by him, but he didn't slow down his steps, and replied: "It's up to you if you don't keep up!"

"I'm not that lucky." The young master shook his head with a meaningful smile: "It's just not rare."

The two of them entered the private room, Xiaoer waited with a smile on the side, and said, "What would you like to eat today?"

The second master flicked the corner of his clothes, and said casually: "Just two signature dishes, I'm here for a drink today."

"That's it!" Little Er bowed down, and he looked like he could talk when he saw a smile.Turning to our eldest young master, he asked, "Master, do you want peach blossom wine today?"

The second master lowered his eyes and smiled, but didn't speak for him.

The young master's leisurely expression along the way finally loosened a bit, he turned around and found himself stunned for a while, coughed twice, and said lightly: "Shochu."

Xiao Er nodded and bowed.With a smile on his face, he went downstairs to prepare the dishes.

The second master raised his hand and poured tea for the two of them, with a deep meaning in his smile.It turned out that the unrelenting mind at this moment had to be provoked by those casual questions.

Peach blossom wine, mellow but not intoxicating, was what Tao Yang always drank in the past.

The little second just now went back and forth, pushed open the door and came in and said, "Second Master, our small private room is full. Hall Master Meng just came, see if it is..." Xiaoer was smart, opened his mouth and clicked.

The second master immediately opened his mouth: "Let him come up quickly, we just happen to have a drink together!"

"Okay!" One more person will naturally lead to more business. .Everyone is happy to change.

The young master raised his voice and added: "Add two more dishes!"

After a while, Xiao Er led the hall master upstairs, and this time he didn't see Jiu Liang coming with him, and he looked very tired.

The second master looked at it, and the eyes of the young master and the young master met, and they both felt that something was wrong.

The hall master sat down without exchanging pleasantries, and there were not so many polite words between brothers.

The young master asked: "Brother Meng, why is this? Why didn't Jiuliang follow today?"

"Going to drink the wedding wine." The hall master raised his head and smiled, very reluctantly.

Only then did the young master see his red eyes, and he was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say.Brother Meng has always been the most cheerful, and he is always nice to his brothers. .Talking to him about something not going well together makes me feel less unhappy.

But everyone always ignores that he is also a human being, a person of flesh and blood; he will have emotions, emotions, sorrows and joys.A person who is always laughed at by others, who is not happy himself, who can make him laugh.

The second master thought for a while, and seemed to understand something, he held the hall master's wrist, trying to send some warmth to him.

The young master went to Jialing Pass a few years ago, only came back at the Lantern Festival, and then fell ill for several days, so naturally he didn't know something. ——Miss Hao's concubine is getting married today.

Feeling the temperature on the wrist, the hall master shook his head vigorously twice, raised his head and smiled at the second master: "It's okay! I'm fine at all!"

The young master looked at Brother Meng silently, but felt that the smile in front of him seemed familiar.

"There is nothing in this world that goes well all the time, and it will pass." The second master also smiled, but it didn't have the bloodshot sadness in Meng Hetang's eyes.

It's like being with a child, feeling ashamed after falling down, holding back his breath and not crying, but when an adult pays close attention, he can't hold back anymore.

The hall master looked at Yun Lei, his eyes that were originally shining like stars sparkled instantly; it wasn't until tears rolled down his face on the table that the hall master realized that he was crying.

He no longer covered up, lowered his head, and his nose became red.His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he muttered: "I hope she gets well, but I can't personally send her off."

If he goes, even if he robs the bride, he won't go with him.How can you rush to someone's wedding banquet to shed tears, and make people feel bad for no reason.

The second master didn't speak, and nodded to Dalin. He probably understood who got married and made Brother Meng cry like this.The nephew and uncle were silent in an extremely tacit understanding, listening to the man in front of him, whose heart was like broken snow, talking.

Roughly, brothers are like this, I laugh with you when you laugh, and I hear you cry when you cry.I will give you a place to let off steam, and then I will accompany you out of that place, young bamboo horses, walk side by side.

"I originally thought that I could always be with her and take care of her. Like when I was a child."

"I should go and see who is so lucky to bring her home, but I dare not, what if I can't help but say things I shouldn't say..."

"I used to expect her to be well, but now she is really well, but I am not well."

"She doesn't like me, what can I do."

People have their own aspirations and cannot be forced, fate is determined by nature, but nothing can be done.

The young master looked at him, his own eye circles were also red, his throat was stuck and his heart was sore, he didn't know what to say.If you can't comfort yourself, how can you comfort others?

The word love is most afraid of ruthless hurt; you are right, if someone doesn't love you, what can you do?

Xiao Er knocked on the door and said that the wine and food were brought.

this time. .Only the second master's voice was quite normal, so he opened his mouth to let him in; after the food and drink were served, he retreated with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, bringing him to the door.

Perhaps it was because of such an interruption that the cold wind from outside the door blew in, making the three people in the room wake up from the cold.The hall master raised his head and began to pour the wine, smiling and yelling: "Stop talking! How long has it been since we had a drink together? Don't lie down here today, don't leave!"

The second master chuckled and warmed up the scene: "That's called not drunk and not returning, you look so ignorant!"

"Whoever drinks alcohol and looks like a reader, you are the most handsome!" The tears on the corners of his cheeks and eyes have not yet dried, and the man is smiling, as if the words he said earlier are hallucinations.

The young master also picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile, "Get drunk and relieve your worries!"

The three people's wine bowls collided crisply, and they drank it all in one gulp without leaving a drop.Put down the bowl, and it's the young master's turn to refill the wine; or if you want to drink this wine, you have to drink it to your heart's content. .In the blink of an eye after adding a glass of wine, his eyes turned red again.

The hall master looked at the wine and dishes in front of him, smiled blankly, held up the wine bowl and said: "We have been together for a hundred years, with one heart and one mind."

This bowl, the second master and the young master didn't move, they sat on the side and watched him drink up the wine in the bowl.Then he put down the bowl, filled it again by himself, with a bitter smile on his face: "Come on, let's continue!"

The second master didn't move, just sat there frowning.

The young master had quick ears and hands, picked up the bowl and bumped into his brother Meng firmly, saying: "Regard the young and ignorant, never wake up from the big dream." He drank it down in one gulp.

The second master was sitting at the side, watching them bowl after bowl filled with pride; it seemed that the smell of alcohol was on the brain, and all the wine they drank turned into tears, which slid down from their eyes one after another.He felt really blocked in his heart, so blocked that he wanted to go out and fight with others to be comfortable; these are all close relatives and siblings who grew up together, and they were once bright and dazzling teenagers, and he wanted to keep them safe. The joyful acquaintance of bamboo and horses; but now all they can do is sit opposite each other in the wine hall, watching them drink happily, but tears are streaming down their faces.What turned the young man back then into this appearance, he couldn't even cry bitterly, holding a wine cup, pretending to sing and smile. .
