Shen Langgui

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the holy family descended from heaven.Xunhe's biological father, Qiu Zijin, had made great contributions in escorting his family in the past, and was promoted to the title of Marquis of Yunli, enjoying a salary of the second rank, and hereditary succession. In addition, Mrs. Qiu was also posthumously named the wife of the second rank, setting an example for the world.However, Qiu Zijin passed away many years ago, so the actual recipient of the marquis was looking for his son Qiu.

Emperor Cheng originally planned to give Shen Yue a rank nine title, and asked him to assist in the reform of Yong'an and Xinxiu counties, but the commission was delayed.Shen Yue recalled that he had entrusted Xian Tao to express his loyalty, so he speculated that Emperor Cheng's refusal to appoint him was to let him do things cheaply.After clarifying the reason, Shen Yue galloped to Yongkang and Xinxiu counties the next day to assist in the implementation of the reform policy.

The two got busy again.

The plan for a year lies in spring, and farming pays special attention to the beginning of spring.Driven by Shen Yue's spare no effort last year, the mulberry seedlings were kept warm in a timely and effective manner, and [-] mu of mulberry fields survived the winter smoothly.Introduced by Xunhe, Shen Yue went to Hangzhou to invite a group of old women raising silkworms to prepare for the hatching of silkworms in the spring.Sunrise and sunset, when he came to his senses, a late ten-day had passed with such busy work, Shen Yue hurried back to Jiangning, only spent half a day with Xun He, and Xun He had to return to the government due to business.

Until the fourth day of February, Shen Yue was busy working in the field, when suddenly Cheng Yin came to deliver the letter.Shen Yue Zhanxin learned that Xunhe went south to Nanyue on a business trip, so he asked Cheng Yin why he didn't go with him.Cheng Yin had no choice but to tell the truth: Xun He deliberately left behind his personal entourage this time, and secretly hired an escort agency to set off.

Xunhe's "solitary tour" that he wanted to kill first and then play was so ruined, he was overtaken by Shen Yue who was galloping on a light horse before he got down to Hangzhou.

Shen Yue jumped on the horse, jumped straight into the carriage, lifted the curtain and cursed: "Shen Li, what are you doing!!"

Xun He was thinking a lot, Shen Yue's sudden appearance made Xun He jump up in fright, and when he regained his senses, Xun He asked: "Why are you here?!"

Shen Yue ignored what Xun He said, and still asked: "I don't take anyone with me when I go out, what should I do if something happens!"

"I...there are people outside!"

"People?! You invited all the idiots, right? No one stopped me when I broke in."

Xun He: "..."

Several bodyguards raised the curtain and saw that although the two people in the car were arguing fiercely, they behaved very intimately. In the end, their heads were pressed together and they kissed together, and they immediately fell off the curtain like hot hands.

After intertwining lips and tongue for a while, Shen Yue let go, but the tip of his nose was still pressed against Xun He, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to Nanyue?"

Xun He thought for a while before answering: "Simon asked for 150 styles this year. Although there are many changes in Su embroidery patterns, they are always changing. I spent some time in South Vietnam in the early years, and I still miss Cantonese embroidery. , while it was too early to hand over the work, I went to Nanyue to ask for orders to take a look and absorb it."

Shen Yue sneered, slipped one hand into the lap of his clothes, pressed it against Xun He's chest, pinched the little spot and rubbed it, Xun He tried to dodge, but Shen Yue's other arm firmly held him back, there was no way to retreat, Xun He I have to remind: "There are people outside!"

"Hmph, I only care about my own happiness, what do people outside have to do with me. If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you now." Shen Yue spoke more recklessly, and even untied Xun He's belt.

Xun He blushed and asked, "I...I didn't hide anything..."

Shen Yue pushed Xun He away, and said angrily: "I'm not hiding anything?! Just because of the yamen's affairs, do you need to send away all the followers? Do you need to make every effort to sneak south while I'm not around?! I know you're hiding it It won't be harmful, but this is what scares me the most. How many times have I told you that we must be honest! Honest! Honest! Since you plan to live together, if you have any difficulties, you should tell them. Let's face it together!" After yelling the last word, Shen Yue said helplessly as if exhausted, "Forget it, I think you don't want to be with me for a long time at all, so forgive me for being sentimental, and leave." After saying that, Shen Yue stood up I'm about to get off.

Xun He's clothes were messy, but he didn't have time to tidy them up, he jumped up and grabbed Shen Yue: "Don't go, I said yes. I went to Nanyue to invite my mother back."

Shen Yue calmed down, looked at Xun He, and asked, "Is your mother still there?"

Xun He shook his head and smiled miserably: "My mother went there when I was nine years old, and I didn't save enough money to set up a memorial tablet for her at the Lingguang Temple until I was 15 years old. Unfortunately, there are no ashes or anything like that for a long time. I don't want to say it, it's... Nanyue is the place where I got stuck in the mud, I don't want you... Even I don't want to look back on those dirty things."

Shen Yue hugged Xun He tightly in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Since I recognize you, I won't care about your past, and don't think about it in the future. You can carry everything by yourself. Think about my aching heart."

There was starlight flickering in Xun He's eyes, but it was a pity that it didn't take a moment for the light to go out, and Xun He regained his usual indifferent and almost numb expression, and snuggled into Shen Yue's arms cooperatively.

Xun He had already met on an auspicious day, and on the day he arrived in Nanyue, he climbed up to Peach Blossom Mountain and invited out the tablet of his mother who was enshrined in Lingguang Temple.Afterwards, while collecting winds everywhere, I did not forget to search for rare treasures.Among them, several pieces of frosty white ambergris were collected, and Xunhe prepared to wait for the imperial court to move south, and presented it to Emperor Cheng as an auspicious omen.

One late night, all the people working in the workshop went back, and Xun He was still studying the weaving technique. Shen Yue thought that Xun He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, so he thought about going to a nearby restaurant to bring Xun He a bowl of hot porridge.When he stepped out of the threshold, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door, and a small servant came down, Shen Yue felt inexplicably familiar.The boy didn't react much when he saw Shen Yue, and went into the workshop.

Besides Xun He, who else could be in the workshop now?Shen Yue then followed in.

"Young Master Bailing?...Young Master Bailing!"

Bai Ling was Xun He's stage name when he sold himself in Pengmen in the past. It has been a long time, and he has not heard anyone call him for several years, so he is inevitably a stranger.The servant called twice before Xun He raised his head and asked, "Call me?"

Seeing Xun He, the boy said happily, "Although there are some changes, the model is still the same. Mr. Bai Ling, I am Bo Xi, do you remember me?"

"Bo Xi?..." Xun He suddenly reflected, "You were sent by the young master?!"

Bo Xi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, my master heard that you have come to Nanyue, please move to meet if you are short."

Xun He hurriedly stood up: "I am afraid that I will offend Lord Hou, so I didn't dare to pay a visit. I didn't think of Lord Hou, and I am sincerely terrified."

"Young Master Bailing is the most intimate old friend of Lord Hou. You are welcome, please come with me."

When Xun He left, he remembered that Shen Yue was following, and wanted to send him back, but as a lesson learned from the past, Shen Yue turned around and blamed himself for hiding, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the appointment.

Lianxiang Building, private room on the third floor.Xun He pushed the door open, and saw three people in the room, two of them were standing by the window, and one was looking through the window.

"Little... Marquis?" Xun He called out tentatively.

The man looking out from the window immediately jumped up and returned to his senses, staring intently, only to feel that this man is exactly the same as the one in memory, there is no edge or corner on his face, round and fat, just like a porcelain doll placed on a New Year's Eve.

I haven't seen you for many years, but this porcelain doll rushed forward and hugged Xun He's neck like before: "Bailing!! I miss you so much!!"

For the indiscriminate intimacy of the young master, Xun He only felt creepy. Even if he didn't look back, Xun He could still sense the murderous look behind him at this moment, so he found an excuse to pull the young master down: "The young master has been away for a long time. Alright, let's go to the house to catch up on the old days."

"Oh, I don't know if I don't hug you. I'm scared when I hug you. Bailing, you are now a fourth-rank official. I heard that you have been granted the title of Marquis recently. Is it because there is too little money in the government or because you have worked too much, why are you still as thin as firewood?" of?"

The young master's no taboos were the same as in the past, Xun He hurriedly put his index finger to his lips, pushed the young master inside, and said: "It's no different than Lord Hou, I was born with no blessings, no matter how rich or noble I am, , the body can't take it anymore."

"Nonsense again... Hey, Bai Ling, is your guard behind you? Hey, boy, why are you staring at Bai Ling like this?"

Seeing that the young master was about to step forward to question him, Xun He hurriedly ran between the two of them to stop him, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the young master, this is the guard of my house, his eyes are born like this, don't be as knowledgeable as him .Ah, I haven't seen you for many years. I have a lot to say to you. Let's sit down quickly."

After finally putting a certain distance between the young master and Shen Yue, Xun He heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the young master sat down, he was still restless, pinched Xun He's wrist and sighed: "You are so thin! Last year I met some refugees from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They were only dirty and haggard, but they didn't have you. It's so dry!"

Xun He: "..."

"Hey, I shouldn't have let you follow that Shen who was called... well, I can't remember the name, so let's call it Shen Wangba. I shouldn't have let you follow Shen Wangba back then. That guy was so cruel that even himself Brothers can kill you, they are comparable to beasts! Although this lonely Marquis's mansion is not good, but no matter how much money can be made to redeem you, it's a pity that you don't want to."

Xun He: "..." The folding fan screen was pulled open, although the two were separated, Xun He could still see Shen Yue's expression at this moment.

The little marquis continued to chatter: "Also, it's rare for you to go to South Vietnam next time, and you don't want to tell Gu, just plan to come here secretly and leave quietly?!"

Xun He thought to himself that he originally planned to go south alone in order to avoid suspicion of Shen Yue and to meet his old friend, but since Shen Yue followed, Xun He had to worry about his feelings, so he pretended to be deaf after arriving for a few days Being dumb, he never visited Hou Ye's mansion.After deliberating for a while, Xun He said: "The Marquis took good care of me in the past, and his kindness was as heavy as a mountain. Qiu never forgot, so why did he ignore it. It's just that I was notorious in the past, so I visited my house for fear of damaging the reputation of the Marquis. .”

"Tch, I don't care what other people think of me. You don't understand. Hey, why are you still the same as before? Everything seems to be random, but when you get closer, you find that you look forward and backward, and think a lot. What is the meaning of life? As long as it doesn’t harm the nature, just do what you want, so why worry so much!” Then, the young master poured a full glass of wine for Xun He, and proudly introduced, “This is the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus wine that Siam paid tribute to. I begged for a few altars with the emperor alone, but I was reluctant to drink it. It just so happens that you are here, hurry up and taste it!"

Xun He drank it all in one gulp, and the young master filled another cup, Xun He quickly waved his hand: "No, no, one cup is for drinking, and the second cup is for a thirst-quenching idiot. This wine is good wine, I can't make him become Stupid." That's what he said, but Xun He was actually concerned about Shen Yue who made three chapters with him behind the screen.

The little marquis disdained: "Hey, tell the truth, are you afraid to drink because Gu just said that you are reluctant to drink it? Don't take it seriously, this jar of wine is specially brought for you by Gu, and you must drink it tonight. Drink it to the bottom!"

Xun He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain truthfully but tactfully: "My family has reminded me, don't drink too much when you go out."

"Hey, you married a powerful daughter-in-law?! The emperor hasn't told Gu yet! Tell me, which daughter-in-law is it!"

Xun He was at a loss for words when asked, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty laughed. I don't have a wife in my house, but the house is very harmonious, and we care about each other."

"Oh, that's how it is. Okay, then I won't force you. But then again, do you know why Danggu protects you everywhere?"

Xun He pondered for a while, then shook his head: "I implore Lord Hou to give me advice."

The little marquis got closer, and revealed the secret, "It's the meaning of today's majesty."

"?!" Xun He gasped in fright.I only heard the young master continue to say: "Brother Wang didn't explain the reason to Gu back then, but only asked Gu to take care of you. It's a pity that at that time you were already the number one young lady in Pengmen, rich and powerful, and you came here at your fingertips. Yes, it was just to redeem you, but unexpectedly you declined. I can't help you much, but every time I talk to you, I can feel at ease for a few days. Hey, although it is caring, it is actually like On the contrary, you are taking care of Gu."

It seems that the emperor has found out or is investigating his own details after the incident.Xun He restrained his thoughts, and replied to the little Hou Ye: "Your Honor is serious. To say a word that does not know the heights of heaven and earth, Lord Hou is one of the few confidantes in Nanyue. If it weren't for Lord Hou's bright light, I'm afraid Xun He... I'm afraid there would be no Xun He in the world today."

"Xunhe... yes, I remember that your surname is Qiu, and your name is Xunhe. The name is really nice. It is both slim and tall for Xunhe, and it is also rugged for passing through the hills. Presumably your parents hope that you will be the same no matter whether it is Xunhe or Jingqiu. Go on well. So, from now on, don't have the above despondent thoughts. By the way, in fact, if it's just the emperor's order, Gu Da doesn't need to talk to you. Do you know why Gu is so close to you?"

Xun He thought for a while, then smiled helplessly and said, "I still hope that Lord Hou will make it clear."

"Do you know why your plays were the best sellers in the past?"

Xun He shook his head.

The young master took a sip of his drink, and said politely: "There were rumors in the folks back then, saying that 'other actors are acting on stage; while Bailing from Pengmen is' he is the play, and the play is him, and there is no distinction between people and plays. , Heaven and man are one. When we met for the first time, you were standing on the stage. At that time, you were playing "The Biography of Liu Yi". Concluded an agreement of equal eyebrows and became a husband and wife. I don’t like to go to theaters, but after listening to a part of your libretto, the lonely soul just asked you to be hooked away....The time I said to redeem you, except for the entrustment of the Holy One In fact, Gu actually has some selfish intentions. You should be a bird in the forest, but you were imprisoned in Pengmen to sell and sing. Therefore, Gu wanted to redeem you at that time and build a stage for you, so that you can sing freely and freely. to sing."

It's a pity that good fortune tricked people, Hou Ye was afraid that the bird would be frightened, so he gritted his teeth and retracted his outstretched hand.

After the young master confessed, Xun He not only didn't feel favored at all, but felt creepy instead.Firstly, Xunhe knew that when he was young, he had a girl he liked, but she was not born with Longyang. This was also one of the reasons why Xunhe refused the young master to redeem his body at the beginning. The two hearts both went off the rails, so there was an accident; secondly, Shen Yue was separated from him by a screen at the moment, and Xun He was afraid that Shen Yue would be agitated and rush over to cause some trouble.

Fortunately, Shen Yue did not.

But Xun He couldn't imagine how this guy would react when he went back, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

'Goo! ' Xun He's stomach growled inappropriately.

The little Hou Ye stared round and looked at Xun He, and then apologized: "Look at me, I was so busy talking to you that I even forgot to order the food, come here, Guangfu chicken feet, crab roe shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, Carrot cake, taro cake, beef sausage, ginger milk...these are all your favorite food back then, Gu even remembered that you didn't eat pork, haha. Come on, hurry up and serve Gu!"

……

The little lord chatted with Xun He all night, until the sky turned white, the little lord let Xun He go back.

Xun He seemed a little excited, waved back the carriage, and insisted on walking back to the hotel.In Revlon early in the morning, Shen Yue took off his outer robe and put it on Xun He, and the two walked silently hand in hand.

Dingling, Dingling, came from the depths of the street shrouded in morning mist, Xun He was slightly drunk, wrapped his arms around Shen Yue's, and explained by sticking to his earlobe, "Hurry up for the street vendors in the morning market to push their carts out."

The bell sounded closer, and a middle-aged man appeared in the clouds. It was cold and cold, but he was shirtless, with a scar on his chest. Behind him was a cart that had been slaughtered and shaved and cut in half. One of the pigs had a knuckle. Stretching out the car floor, dangling the bloody flesh.

Xun He's breathing was gradually constricted, and his eyes looked out of control, and he looked at the man's cloudy eyes.

"what!!!"

Without any warning, Xun He roared suddenly, before Shen Yue could react, Xun He fell straight up, unconscious...
