Shen Langgui

In a blink of an eye, it is the first day of April.

In the evening in the suburbs, the surrounding area was silent, Shen Yue and Shen Chao were walking side by side on the road.Shen Yue sighed: "Since I left Shen's residence, we two brothers have never traveled together for such a long time."

With a soft voice, Shen Chao comforted his elder brother: "There will be more in the future."

Looking at the birdcage in his younger brother's hand, the two little birds in the cage were jumping endlessly. Shen Yue looked at the small wooden box he was holding. Inside the box was an old bird with whitish feathers lying quietly. Shen Yue Caressing the bird's head, the bird seemed to feel comfortable, and raised its head so that Shen Yue could play with it.After a long time, Shen Yue said: "This time I will lead the army to go to the northwest, in case, in case something happens to me, A Chao, I implore you... Please hold on to A Li."

"What are you talking about! Elder brother will be able to return triumphantly soon." Having said that, Shen Chao was worried.

Shen Yue shook his head: "It's never certain about the battlefield. What's more, this time the Jin captives are coming in a menacing manner." While speaking, the two came to an open compound, and a plaque was hung on the Zhumen gate, writing "Xianmiandu" As soon as the gatekeeper saw the person coming, he immediately opened the door and greeted: "Master Shen!"

Shen Yue nodded slightly, and said to Shen Chao: "Ah Li is probably still in the yamen, so let me take you around the house for now."

The boy who opened the door reminded: "Young Master Qiu is already at the mansion, and he came back an hour ago."

"Ah?" Shen Yue was surprised, since he was promoted, he couldn't come back until Xunhe at night.

"My little one saw that Mr. Qiu brought three or four beautiful girls back to the mansion." Everyone in the mansion knew about Shen Yue's relationship with Xun He, and knew that Shen Yue was more annoying than the real master, so the servant reported the truth.

Shen Yue: "!!!"

Shen Chao was thinking of comforting his elder brother, but Shen Yue didn't care, and hurried to the deep courtyard.

The servant girl told Xun He and his party to go to the deep forest of Lanxiu, and Shen Yue chased after them. As soon as he entered the room, he bumped into the wine pool and meat forest in the flower hall, oh no, the wine was mixed.But when he saw who was coming, Shen Yue couldn't help being astonished: "You...you?"

Looking back, Xun He was also taken aback: "Master, the second master is here too?"

Shen Chao asked directly: "Yu Shu, Hong Jin, Cui Xiu, why are you here?"

Xun He hurriedly ordered someone to clear the seats, and explained: "Back to the second master, it is rare that the Shen residence and the humble house are in Jiangning, so I thought, invite some old friends from when I was a servant in the Shen residence to come out for a gathering."

Yu Shu nodded and added: "That's right, brother Li wanted to not delay the employment of Shen's residence, so he invited us over before dinner. It's a coincidence that the second master also came."

"So that's how it is," Shen Chao looked over and saw that his brother's expression had returned to normal, but he still couldn't help laughing when he thought of his unprecedented frizzy and jumping behavior just now.

Shen Yue got angry and glared at his younger brother. Fortunately, the majesty of the past is still there. The servants who were drinking and singing just now are all silent now. Shen Yue waved his hand: "You guys play, leave me alone, I will take Shen Chao away Walk."

Xun He understood Shen Yue's thoughts, so he stepped forward and pulled Shen Yue back, and persuaded: "If you two masters don't mind, you might as well sit down and talk about the old days." These words finally settled the two big masters. Shen Yue showed mercy and ordered the servants to sit together.

Looking around the room, the faces of the old people in the room, in a trance, Xun He recalled the day when he first entered the Suzhou Shen Mansion, the whole family gathered around the big Eight Immortals table, having a lively meal.Grandmother Shen was sitting on the couch in front of her, and when she saw her eldest grandson who had come back from a long journey, she couldn't help sighing, "Just go home!" '; Two granddaughters-in-law, Tian's and Li's, one Anzhu and one Jintang; Shen Chao was careful, took Xunhe who was at a loss at the time, and arranged him to sit beside Shen's grandmother.

Even though all the eyes were staring at him, Shen Yue was used to it, and he still picked vegetables for Xunhe, but in a blink of an eye, he realized that something was wrong with the people around him, so he asked, "What's the matter, Li?"

Xun He shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered some old things in the Shen Mansion, and I feel a little sad. Forget it, let's not mention this, why did you and the second master enter the palace?"

Shen Yue remained silent, Shen Chao took the words consciously, and said: "The Jin captives are constantly provoking, and General Sun is old, and recently he was dying of illness, so he sent people thousands of miles to report to the emperor. My elder brother had promised to defend his homeland, so he recommended himself to lead the army in the northwest. Tomorrow ...Leaving tomorrow."

Not only Xunhe, but Yinzhang, Yushu and others present here were all shocked when they heard this: "Tomorrow?!!!"

Shen Yue dejectedly said: "Even if it is an urgent report of eight hundred miles, it will take seven or eight days to travel from the front line to Jiangning. I don't know Mr. Sun at this moment... Hey, Mr. Sun is also my mentor. I should go and fight for him."

Shen Chao waved his hand: "Hey, it's rare for old people from Shen's family to get together, what are you doing with such frustrating words. Come here, bring things up."

Two servant girls entered in response, one carrying a birdcage and the other carrying a wooden box.

Shen Yue cheered up, stepped forward to hug the sandalwood box, and asked Xun He: "The 'little thing' has become an old thing, do you still recognize it?"

Xun He opened his eyes wide: "Is this the "gadget" I bought back then?"

"Yes," Shen Yue caressed the parrot's back, with an exceptionally gentle voice, "Look, her feathers are so old that they have faded to white. Since last year, she has lost strength in her legs and feet. She has been taken by the queen to raise her all these years. .Actually, when I enter the palace today, another thing is to bring out the 'old stuff' for you to see."

Shen Yue's younger sister, Shen Yaoqing, has transformed from a [-]th girl to a mother of the new dynasty. One can imagine the vicissitudes of life.The so-called old horse knows the way, but now the old bird recognizes the master. When he saw Xun He, the "little thing" who had been lying on his side all the time opened his throat and howled twice, then staggered up and fell into Xun He's palm .Xun He couldn't help but burst into tears: "'Little Things' still recognizes me!! After so many years, she still recognizes me!!"

Xun He hugged the bird and put his cheek against it, while Shen Yue patted Xun He's back to comfort him.

Yushu had mixed feelings, and recalled: "I still remember the first winter when Brother Li came to Shen's mansion, he was going to go to the north with Master Shen, and found that he didn't have warm clothes. Fortunately, Master Shen had ordered me to prepare a few more. That day I Sending it over, it happened that 'Baby' flew out of the cage. Brother Li and Yinzhang were helpless under the tree. In the end, Master Shen climbed the tree to catch the little bird. I can't believe it, it's been 12 years! "

The red scarf nodded: "Yes, I still remember that every time Brother Li went on a business trip, Cui Xiu and I would ask him to bring back some fashionable makeup. In a blink of an eye, Brother Li became a high-ranking official, and even Yinzhang got married and married. I'm pregnant with Liujia."

Cuixiu wiped away tears, and said with sobs: "Brother Li may have been patient before, as long as he was around, there was always a way to make the ancestor happy. Later, the ancestor simply appointed Brother Li to come to 'Yunshou' every day to tell stories. Woolen cloth!"

Only Yinzhang found the little bird in the cage, observed it for a while, and asked in amazement, "Are these two offspring of 'Badget'?"

Shen Chao nodded: "Yes, great son and great grandson, it's still the bloodline passed down from 'Little Gadget' and 'Small Sample' back then."

Everyone sighed.

……

There are falling leaves and fragrance.The night is silent, cold and broken.Unknowingly, the whole family in Shen's mansion negotiated late into the night, and at the end of the banquet, the little maidservant brought medicine, and it was commonplace to seek a source, so she picked up the bowl and poured it down without saying a word.After drinking, Xunhe got up to send people out of the mansion, but when he went out, he saw Aunt Yin standing behind the pillar, as if she had been waiting for a long time.Xun He knew how difficult she was, so he didn't make a sound to disturb her.However, Aunt Yin gestured to Shen Yue.Seeing this, Shen Yue asked Xun He to send someone out, and stayed by himself.

After all the guests left, Aunt Yin came out from the dark.

Shen Yue asked: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Yin asked, "Has Xiaoqiu's illness recurred recently?"

After seeing the doctor that day, Xun He left Imperial Physician Zhong in the mansion for consultation, so all matters of diagnosis and treatment were entrusted to Imperial Physician Zhong. Today, Aunt Yin suddenly asked about this, and Shen Yue was surprised: "There is no recurrence, what's the matter?" ?”

Aunt Yin hesitated to speak, and finally chose her words carefully: "I think the medicine used by Mrs. Zhong is a bit dangerous..."

"Gu Yin!" It was Xun He!

Shen Yue frowned: "Why did you come back so soon?"

"I'm a little tired, so I asked the introduction to deliver it."

Xun He has always been extremely thoughtful, and he is definitely not like him in this kind of behavior, but Shen Yue felt that there was no need to question it, so he comforted: "Then rest early later."

"Master Shen..." Aunt Yin became anxious.

Xun He yawned sharply.

Shen Yue couldn't bear it, so he had to send Aunt Yin away: "Physician Zhong is an old friend of yours and my two families, and he will try his best to treat the person I entrust. The medicine is more dangerous. Presumably, Physician Zhong has his own reasons, so we just cooperate."

Aunt Yin could not refute, so Shen Yue went up the mountain with Xunhe.

The wind is high and the moon is white, which is the most suitable night, but the forest flowers are all in spring red, and a few sporadic manjusawa flowers that have not yet withered under the moonlight are almost strangely coquettish.

With Xun He by his side, even mountains of knives and seas of fire, in Shen Yue's eyes, are a beautiful scene in the world, so he didn't realize that he was there, and clasped fingers with Xun He, walking up the mountain.

A birdcage hangs under the eaves of the main entrance. Lark has not yet slept soundly. Seeing his master going up the mountain, he is flying vigorously, chirping non-stop.The moon is more beautiful than the snow, and the courtyard is as clear as stagnant water, with mottled apricot shadows in the water.Xun He probed his head and looked into the water tank. The koi at the bottom of the water found someone coming, and immediately floated up to face Xun He, bubbling and wagging their tails.

Shen Yue took the opportunity to tease: "I guess, you were probably in charge of beasts in your previous life, and you are so attracted to animals in this life."

Xun He threw some food into the water: "That's not bad either."

Shen Yue put his hips on his hips, looked around the front yard, pondered and said: "Now the mountain flowers are growing vigorously. I heard from Uncle Zhang that the flowers are Fujimoto. When I come back from this battle, I will build a porch in the front yard. After a few years , the flowers climbed all over the top of the shelf, and we will enjoy the shade below. Wow, who shares the pleasure? The soul is ecstasy under the flowers, and the soul is ecstasy under the moon."

Xun He seemed unmoved, he was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Master, I will be getting ready to go tomorrow, take a bath and rest as soon as possible."

"Yes, good."

Cheng Yin's hands and feet were nimble, and he put hot water in the room in a short while.Xun He put down the door curtain, rolled up his sleeves, and said casually, "I'll help you wash, so it's quicker."

Shen Yue frowned: "Aren't you sleepy, go to bed and sleep."

"You won't be sleepy after going up the mountain." As he said that, Xun He stepped forward and untied Shen Yue's belt, after a while he stripped off all the clothes, and Shen Yue stepped into the bucket.

Shen Yue didn't have any good intentions, and took the opportunity to get a lot of money, once Xun He pressed his hand, he turned away from scrubbing Xun He.Xun He had no choice but to let him touch it for fun.At the end, Xun He suddenly said: "By the way, I have something to discuss with you. I want to recognize Chong Yang as my adopted son. Do you think it's okay?"

This question came out of nowhere, beyond Shen Yue's expectation, Shen Yue didn't answer and asked instead: "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Xun He pondered for a while, and finally smiled: "Today, the young and old in the Shen family get together, which makes me want to get closer."

"This brat is closer to you than I am. Is it wrong to admit it?" But in the end, he couldn't bear to spoil Xun He's interest, so he agreed, "You can admit it if you want."

"Well, thank you sir."

Rolling his eyes, Shen Yue looked at Xun He, obviously with malice, "I like my son so much, why don't you give birth to me, huh?"

Xun He patted it away, annoyed: "I haven't showered and I'm dirty, come back later."

"How many times have I told you not to call yourself dirty! It seems that the lesson is not enough, and I don't have a long memory!" Shen Yue ignored his nakedness, picked up Xun He and threw it on the couch, peeled Xun He completely, and pulled out the soft tissue. The pillow is under Xun He's belly.

Xun He propped himself up vigorously, turned around and scolded angrily: "Hold it! I'll take a shower first!"

"Wash your head! The next time we meet, I don't know the year of the monkey, tell me to bear it? Lay down and let me care!"

One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.Shen Yue is worthy of being a fierce general, he took down the most critical level as soon as he came up, and made Xun He subdued.

Shen Yue is domineering by nature, wishing to keep Xun He in captivity like in the past.But he also knew that Xun He didn't like to be treated like this, so Shen Yue tried his best to restrain himself in front of others, and even he endured Sha Ou's many provocations.But after getting married, especially when it comes to sex, Shen Yue's domineering intensified, and he insisted on getting back from Xun He.Shen Yue can bear anything, but for the ecstasy under the bed, Shen Yue only allows Xun He to get it from himself.He also doesn't want Xun He to work hard to cooperate, Xun He only needs to open his legs, and Shen Yue will give him the ultimate happiness.

Several times the spring breeze played on the drapery, and the red peaches were reflected in the place where the residual red fell.Having reached the top for the second time, Xun He obviously couldn't take it any longer, she burst into tears and was panting slightly.His physical strength was also exhausted, Shen Yue heard Xun He's stomach growling, and after helping him put on his clothes, he said softly: "Get up, I'll feed you."

The two got up, Xun He's lower limbs were weak, but Shen Yue didn't want to carry it on his back, so Shen Yue could only help Xun He to walk out slowly.

The backyard is so quiet that running water can be heard, and there is an occasional breeze, which is wrapped in the fragrance of grass and trees, refreshing the nose and refreshing the spleen.When he came to the small kitchen built next to the apricot tree, Shen Yue lit the lamp, asked Xun He to sit on the bench at the door, took out the flour, added water and kneaded the dough.

While rubbing, Shen Yue said: "You are already a member of the second rank, and your status is no less than that of Shen Chao. From now on, when you see us, don't be shy. You will not only lose the closeness of your family, but also lose your love." The decency of a court official, isn't it?"

Xun He scratched his head: "I didn't flinch, I just got along with the old way."

For the convenience of kneading the dough, Shen Yue took off his shirt and tied it around his waist, exposing his strong back.Shen Yue's technique is sophisticated, and the movements of pulling noodles are done in one go. Xun He stared blankly at his back for a while, and asked in a daze: "Master, you... don't you think it's a pity? You have worked hard for half your life, but in the end you can only be with daily necessities."

"What's wrong with firewood, rice, oil and salt?! Chasing power is the only way out?" Shen Yue slammed his face until it crackled. Seeing that Xun He was silent, Shen Yue dropped the dough, squatted in front of Xun He, and patiently explained: "Power is Dead things cannot be betrayed, and people boldly chase after them. They dare not devote themselves to others, but they are afraid of being disappointed. If you really think about me, then you should be more confident and treat me dignifiedly as your husband. Of course, you You have to be scruples, it's okay to regard me as a wife, I don't care about the status."

Shen Yue raised his head, wanting to see Xun He's expression, but unexpectedly Xun He turned his eyes away in a panic, and said perfunctorily: "Understood, Master Shen, go back."

Shen Yue sighed, whenever he talked about this with Xun He, he always avoided it.Forget it, the future is long, and Xun He can live for a few years, so Shen Yue will fly with him for as many years.Shen Yue got up, and finally added: "The country is everyone, and the family is a small country. The country may not have me, but the family must have me. Do you understand?"

"Yes, got it."

After a while, the noodles were ready, Shen Yue poured oil into the hot pan, and started frying eggs. With the sound of ziraz, Shen Yue said with emotion: "Taste fresh in spring, light in summer, delicious in autumn, and nourishing in winter. Life For decades, rich and poor, no one can escape the three meals, and it would be a pity if every meal is not good." The fried egg gradually took shape, and the aroma was overflowing, Shen Yue took advantage of the situation and scooped it into the boiling water, and continued to talk to himself: "If I can come back smoothly, we will have been in Jiangning for a year by then. Have you thought about how to celebrate?"

Xun He didn't answer, but sighed to himself: "It's so soon. This year, everything went so smoothly, the days are so good... so good that it seems to be stolen."

Shen Yue put his face on the small table, rubbed Xun He's head, and comforted him: "Silly, take good care of your illness, there will be many smooth years like this in the future."

Then they each ate noodles silently, Shen Yue ate quickly, finished sucking in a while, put down his chopsticks and watched Xun He eat.Xun He felt embarrassed when he was looked at, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "I really feel sorry for you."

Shen Yue was puzzled: "What happened to me?"

"The Lord paid 3 taels to redeem me back then, but he hasn't heard me sing a piece of music so far, isn't it a loss?" Xun He's eyes narrowed, his eyes were as charming as silk.

Shen Yue thought for a while, but he didn't tell Xun He after all. He had sat under the podium of Pengmen 12 years ago, admiring Xun He's elegant demeanor amidst a full house of guests, and he didn't dare to tell Xun He that when he was sick and crazy, he was in Pengmen. Singing on the spot in the small courtyard.In a good afternoon, Shen Yue pretended to be relaxed and suggested, "Why don't you sing me a song now?"

Xun He clapped his palms together: "That's exactly what I mean. However, there are no costumes here, and there is no time to put on makeup. How about this, I will hum a piece of folk song from northern Shaanxi that I listened to in Chang'an last year for my grandfather."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "As long as it is sung by you, I will listen with all my ears."

Xun He cleared his throat and sang aloud:

Were the clouds that day expected?

So the steps are light

so as not to disturb our time

because destined so little

The wind blows the white clouds

where have you been

while missing you

i look up and smile
