King's Landing [Rebirth]

Mei Zhenghan had a dream. In the dream, he and Liang Jian lived in a secluded house. He was in poor health and had to drink medicine every day. , Don't allow him to do this, don't allow him to do that, his temper is very bad, and he is also very unfamiliar.

But Mei Zhenghan was not angry at all, on the contrary, he was very distressed.Because he was full of worries about Liang Jian when he saw Liang Jian carrying him behind his back, and because of him, he stayed up late to read medical classics and pharmacopoeias, and learned medical skills from the doctors who visited him.He locked himself in an impenetrable high-walled compound, and only opened a crack in his heart when he silently paid for Mei Zhenghan, but once he found that Mei Zhenghan was approaching, he closed it again.

Like an awkward child, clumsy and doesn't know how to get along with the person he likes.

Even in the dream, Mei Zhenghan still felt uncomfortable, he couldn't control his body to give Liang Jian a hug, he could only watch Liang Jian and himself living an awkward life in this yard like a bystander.

Dreams are like fragments of a revolving lantern, what you see is not the complete story.The last moment was leisurely in the small courtyard, the next moment it was swords and swords.Wearing armor to protect Liang Jian, he pushed him out through the back door of the yard.

"It's enough for you to treat me as a friend. You know where my old department is. If you can escape, please take care of them for me."

The door was closed, and Mei Zhenghan saw himself blocking the door with a spear, and the officers and soldiers who couldn't see their faces rushed up like a flood. He blocked everyone at the door and bought time for Liang Jian to leave.

The weapon pierced into flesh and blood filled his vision. Mei Zhenghan held on to the end, as if someone had come to him and swung a long knife. His eyes hurt and were gouged out.

The inexplicable stabbing pain woke Mei Zhenghan up from his dream. He gasped and stared at the house of the post house, his eyes hurt like needles.He turned over from the bed and got up to find the mirror of the dressing table. His eyes were the same in the bronze mirror, but the tingling sensation did not dissipate.It doesn't look like an illusion in a dream, but it seems to be deeply engraved on his soul.

Mei Zhenghan rubbed his eyes, the feeling from the dream had not faded away, and he was still a little shocked.Everything that happened in the dream was too real. He and Liang Jian looked much older than now, and their positions seemed to be different.The old ministry he mentioned when he pushed Liang Jian away at the end was even more unbelievable. He became a traitor, and Liang Jian hid him at home to recuperate from his injuries.

Mei Zhenghan covered his eyes and laughed at himself, this dream was not pleasant at all.

It was already blue sky and daylight outside the house, and Liang Jian was not seen in the house, so Mei Zhenghan rested for a while and waited for the uncomfortable feeling to fade away before dressing and going out.The courtyard was very quiet, only Guard A was there, and no one else was there.

Seeing Mei Zhenghan going out, Guard A asked him if he wanted breakfast.

Mei Zhenghan shook his head, stretched his waist, and asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

Guard A replied: "Your Majesty was announced by the emperor to enter the palace. The second lady said she wanted to go to the Hanshan Temple outside the city. The Mayor asked Wen Yao to accompany her. Xiao Yi was sent by the City Lord to look for Wuxin. When the City Lord left Tell us not to disturb you and let you rest well."

Hearing that Liang Jian was announced into the palace again by the emperor, Mei Zhenghan's face was not very good-looking, and the first guard hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry about the city lord. I asked, but it was actually the meaning of the eldest princess. It is said that it is because of the epidemic in Hongye City." The Eldest Princess wants to ask about the situation."

That is to say, it wasn't that Liang Jian met the emperor alone, Mei Zhenghan felt better because of this, he wasn't worried about what was going on between Liang Jian and the emperor, what he was afraid of was that the rumors outside would be bad for Liang Jian.With the Eldest Princess around, those people outside couldn't chew their tongues.

Mei Zhenghan had eaten too early and Liang Jian hadn't come back yet. A guard asked him if he wanted to go out for a walk. Mei Zhenghan didn't go after thinking about it, but went out to find Shan Chongfei next door.There were many dangers yesterday, and it was not easy for Liang Jian to deal with it alone. Mei Zhenghan didn't say anything, but he had other thoughts in his heart.Coupled with the fact that the ominous dream this morning cast a haze on his heart, he is not in the mood to play around at all.

He didn't come to Wangcheng to hide under Liang Jian's wings and steal leisurely, he can also do something for Liang Jian.

The Hanshan Temple outside the city is full of incense, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims. The surrounding terrain is open, and vendors gather here to form a market.Over time, there will be an extra street with all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation for people who come to incense to play and rest.

Every winter, there will be more people in Hanshan Temple than before, and believers who make wishes come to pray for auspiciousness for the next year.The lady will also come to donate incense money for a year and light an everlasting lamp for the family.

Jiang Shengxue walked through the crowd, looking here and there, interested in everything in the market, but she didn't buy anything.Wen Yao could tell that she was not in high spirits and didn't know how to make her happy.

The aunt selling rouge gouache was yelling at the side of the road. The faint fragrance attracted Jiang Shengxue to walk over. She picked up a box of rouge and smelled it. The elegant floral fragrance made people feel good.

"Girl, buy a box. This is a rouge gouache brought from the south of the Yangtze River. After applying it, it not only has a long-lasting fragrance, but also makes the skin smoother." The aunt set up a stall in the market and met many ladies and Xiaojiabiyu. , but was still attracted by Jiang Shengxue.Jiang Shengxue doesn't use makeup, and her skin is fair and delicate, which can be broken by blowing bombs.

Wen Yao was standing next to Jiang Shengxue, and when he heard what the aunt said, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Shengxue. In his impression, Jiang Shengxue seldom used makeup, even the dresses were more elegant, and the hair accessories on his head hadn't been changed for a long time. Made a new one.

Jiang Shengxue was unmoved by the aunt's flattery, she took the rouge box, smiled and said: "The rouge powder I used before was brought back by my brother from other places, since I stayed with Brother Liang in Hongye City , and he never bought it for me again.”

Jiang Shengxue put down the rouge box, a look of foreboding flashed across her face, her brother would soon no longer belong to her.Wen Yao couldn't help feeling distressed, picked up the box that Jiang Shengxue had just put down, and asked, "How much is this, I bought it."

Jiang Shengxue looked at Wen Yao in amazement, and said with a smile, "Ah Yao, don't you have a girl you like?"

Wen Yao blushed and stammered, "No, I...I want to give it to you."

Jiang Shengxue was taken aback, and immediately said, "I don't want it."

After speaking, he stopped Wen Yao from giving him money, and dragged him away.Auntie is not willing to give up the money she got, stopped Jiang Shengxue and said: "Hey, I said what is the girl doing, it's rare to have a lover|Man, don't rush to refuse. My gouache is also loved by ladies from rich families. After you put it on, your skin will be smooth and smooth like a peach blossom."

Jiang Shengxue raised her eyebrows, glared at the aunt displeasedly, looked at Wen Yao with her hips akimbo, and asked, "Do you want to listen to her or mine."

Wen Yao was a little hesitant, but then he thought about the difference between his and Jiang Shengxue's identities, the name of the gift was unfair, and it was understandable for Jiang Shengxue not to accept it.He felt a little sad in his heart, and bowed his head without saying a word.

Jiang Shengxue stamped her feet angrily, turned around and left.

Wen Yao became impatient and hurried to catch up, but Jiang Shengxue ignored him and walked forward alone.Suddenly the crowd became crowded, someone was galloping in the market, everyone ran away one after another, Jiang Shengxue couldn't avoid being pushed, Wen Yao immediately stepped forward to protect her in his arms, and took her to hide aside.

The man on the horse ran away, and someone was trampled by the pushing just now, lying on the ground and howling.The people around shook their heads sympathetically and talked a lot.

"It's a crime, it's a crime."

"Is there any law for the emperor to hurt people by riding a horse under his feet?"

"Keep your voice down, after all, you are the son of a family, and we small families can't afford to offend you."

Jiang Shengxue frowned slightly when she heard the people's remarks and looked in the direction where the horse disappeared.It's not peaceful inside the royal city, and it's not so good outside the royal city.

Wen Yao let go of Jiang Shengxue with lingering fear, if she had been slower just now, she would have been the one who got hurt.Jiang Shengxue was used to Wen Yaohu, so he didn't think it was too scary.After being made such a fuss, her arrogance just now was extinguished, and she sighed faintly.

Wen Yao still remembered what happened just now, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, did I offend you?"

Jiang Shengxue said: "Hmph, you still know, I said no, why don't you leave."

Wen Yao was speechless at this question, and fell silent for a while.He has practiced martial arts all year round, and he is tall and burly, but standing next to Jiang Shengxue, he looks like a child who has made a mistake, so clumsy that he can't even explain.

Jiang Shengxue looked at him helplessly, and said: "I will buy what I want by myself, your monthly salary is not as much as mine, how can I let you buy things for me."

Wen Yao was startled, raised his head and said, "That's different."

Although he didn't know how to explain that feeling, Wen Yao still felt that what Jiang Shengxue said about buying was different from what he wanted to buy.He just wanted to give Jiang Shengxue a gift to make her happy, no matter how much it cost.What he cares about is not things, but Jiang Shengxue's mood.

Xu Shi saw something she shouldn't have seen last night, Jiang Shengxue's thoughts today were a little strange, seeing Wen Yao anxiously trying to explain the difference, she suddenly became enlightened.She was a little dumbfounded, and stared blankly at Wen Yao for a long time, then looked away when her face was hot, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's different, and I don't like that kind of thing at all. That aunt who lied to you is not from Jiangnan." Rouge gouache."

"Isn't it?" Wen Yao didn't know much about this thing, and he was shaken when he heard Jiang Shengxue say that.No wonder Jiang Shengxue didn't want it. It turned out that he didn't like it, so he wanted to find someone Jiang Shengxue liked.Rouge and gouache are not good, but jewelry can also be used.Taking advantage of his height, Wen Yao looked around and said, "You don't like rouge and gouache, how about hairpins?"

"not good."

"bracelet?"

"No."

"earrings?"

Fei Yunxia, ​​who Jiang Shengxue was questioning, grabbed Wen Yao's lapel and said, "Wen Yao, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

Wen Yao hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, don't be angry. I want you to be happy, but I don't know much about it."

Wen Yao was a little disappointed, Jiang Shengxue's heart was beating like thunder, and she snorted: "Because you are stupid, there is no reason for you to ask the girl for something before giving it to you. It seems that the girl's family asked you for it."

Wen Yao's eyes lit up, and he understood the meaning of this sentence unexpectedly.No matter how informal Jiang Shengxue is, she still has the reserve of a girl. If he keeps asking questions in public, she will definitely feel embarrassed.

As for gifts, as long as the sender has a heart, the recipient will naturally be happy.Jiang Shengxue acquiesced in giving him a gift and did not refuse.

A smile appeared on Wen Yao's face, his eyebrows softened, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.Jiang Shengxue twisted her sleeves, regretting what she said just now, but seeing that Wen Yao was happy because of one sentence, she couldn't bear to say anything else to spoil the scenery.At worst, if Wen Yao really gave her something, she would give the same in return.

But after this visit, it was like exchanging tokens of love.

Jiang Shengxue's cheeks were hot, and she regretted it, she shouldn't have gone out today.I don't want Wen Yao's gift, but what will he give?He is so stupid, will he be cheated when he buys something?The more Jiang Shengxue thought about it, the more entangled she became, she threw Wen Yao off angrily and left.Wen Yao hurriedly followed her, contentedly working hard without complaint.

In the restaurant on the side of the market, someone saw all the scenes just now.The girl's pretty face was like returning from an old friend, which aroused a lot of melancholy in his heart.

"Old Chen, what are you looking at?"

Mu Cheng poured a glass of wine for the elder in front of him. Seeing him staring out of the window, he couldn't help being curious, but when he looked over, he didn't find anything unusual.But the man on the horse made him frown slightly, thinking that the rules of the royal city must be re-established.

Chen Rushen stroked his snow-white goatee, and said: "Just now there was a girl downstairs who looked like Qiuniang when she was young, and I took a second look at it, making you laugh."

Hearing Chen Rushen mentioning Luo Qiu, Mu Cheng's eyes dimmed, he looked at Hanshan Temple in the light snow, and recalled: "I don't know how they have been these years, our Mu family has dragged them down."

"General, you don't have to blame yourself. You are forced to. If you have a choice, you don't want to be separated from your own flesh and blood. As fathers, we can only hope that they will live happily and well in other places."
