The wind

"Tsk." Qu Yeliang snorted lightly on the other side, half mocking, and seemed to have a bit of contempt.

At a glance, Mr. Qu Yeliang, Mr. Qu was dressed in brocade clothes, his eyes were frivolous, and he had a frivolous appearance.I don't know if it's the night or what, Xiao Zhouheng only feels that there is a hint of hostility between his brows today.

Seeing that Li Xiao and Li Xiao were looking at him, Mr. Qu gave him a meaningful smile in return, then turned and left.

Xiao Zhouheng didn't care about pondering the meaning of Qu Yeliang's actions just now, seeing that Li Zhongnan was unwell at the moment, he felt a little anxious: "Are you okay, can Xiaosheng take you back to your room to rest?"

Li Zhongnan didn't answer Xiao Zhouheng's question, but pointed in the direction where Qu Yeliang left: "Who is that?"

"It's Qu Yeliang, Mr. Qu. It's the Sixth Young Master..." Xiao Zhouheng paused, not knowing how to explain the relationship between the two, he pondered for a while, and then said weakly, "My best friend."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhongnan remained silent, twisted his lips tightly, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

Seeing that he was about to die, Xiao Zhouheng hurriedly said: "Xiaosheng, go and call the doctor."

"No...no need, this is a disease from the mother's womb, it can't be cured." Li Zhongnan tried to smile, "Mr. Jueyan, don't be so nervous about me, I am a healer myself, take it easy."

Without waiting for Xiao Zhouheng to respond, the person in his arms said quietly again: "Mr. Jueyan should go change his clothes before the banquet is over. The smell of powder really hits the nose."

Xiao Zhouheng's arms froze, and he couldn't smell anything on him. When Li Zhongnan mentioned it, he remembered the conversation with Yin Jiuchu just now and all kinds of things, his heart sank immediately, and he said stiffly, "Dirty Eighth Young Master Excuse me, Xiaosheng is going to change now." Li Zhongnan glanced at him and stood up, but he didn't deny it: "You have to move faster, the banquet is about to begin."

Xiao Zhouheng cursed in his heart: This plague student, who is good-looking but speaks without mercy, has a good skin for nothing, but he can only say: "Little physiology will get it."

This tossing attracted a few maidservants, they hurriedly helped Li Zhongnan away, seeing the man walking away, Xiao Zhouheng was annoyed, and angrily went back to the room to change clothes.

What Xiao Zhouheng didn't know was that Yin Jiuchu had been standing there for a long time looking at the direction Xiao Zhouheng left after he left the hookah just now.

Behind him is the Jiaofang Secretary who looks like a phoenix singing, and in front of him is a remnant dream of lonely people.

"Why don't you go in, the wind outside is so cold." Jiang Ruli appeared behind Yin Jiuchu at some point, holding a gold thread folding fan in his hand, and lightly tapped Yin Jiuchu's shoulder, "What are you crazy about?"

Seeing that Yin Jiuchu had not returned for a long time, Jiang Ruli went out to look for him.

"I'm afraid he still blames me." Yin Jiuchu withdrew his gaze, and his gaze slowly fell on the note that Xiao Zhouheng had just handed to him.

"What does Shu Ting blame you?" Jiang Ruli naturally didn't know what happened to the two of them before, but felt a little baffled. He poked his head over, looked at the words "Xiaozhou Heng" on the rice paper, and said with a smile, "Shu Ting again Ask you to help him find books?"

"Of course, I have channels, so naturally I can only help him."

"Come on, what he wants are either orphan copies or leftover books from previous dynasties. It's easy for him to get them, but you don't know how difficult it is to find them."

"It doesn't matter." Yin Jiu Chu Feng raised his eyes, "I failed him first, so I will try my best to make up for him now."

"It's not worth it." Jiang Ruli rolled his eyes at him, "Although I don't know what is wrong with you, Shu Ting is not a narrow-minded person, and I don't think he treated you well today. If you are still worried, another day You invite him out again." Jiang Ruli paused, and then said: "But one is in Li's residence, and the other wants to get married, so it may be difficult to get together again."

How could it be so easy to disappoint him?Yin Jiuchu smiled miserably, and said in his heart: I'm afraid he will blame me for the rest of his life.

"It was my slip of the tongue first," Yin Jiuchu said, "he can't blame him for what he is doing now, he can blame me if he wants to, if it weren't for me...he wouldn't be begging for perfection in the Li residence like this."

Jiang Ruli and Xiao Zhouheng didn't know each other since they were young, so they didn't know that the man wanted to wander the world, so naturally he didn't know where this humiliation came from, and said, "You literati are so strange, I'm sorry to ask you to find books, If I don't tell you the reason, I don't believe that the son of the Li family will read those books."

"I don't know either." Yin Jiuchu shook his head, "He only told me that he is compiling a book, and then the compiled manuscripts will be handed over to Yingtian Academy at the end of each month."

Yin Jiuchu didn't take this matter to heart, he just thought it was because he had hurt his heart and he diverted his attention, and even the matter of entering Li's mansion as a teacher was angry with him, but these words naturally cannot be the same Others said, so when Jiang Ruli asked about the book, they mentioned it lightly.

Jiang Ruli seemed to be curious, and said, "Well, then I'll ask brother Huangfu when I have time."

After the two chatted some more gossips, they went back to the hall together.

Looking back at the Li Mansion, the sixth young master Li Yunyi is worthy of being a pampered son of a rich family. He is tall and tall in casual clothes, and he has a noble temperament. At this moment, he is leaning on the Sanqiu Pavilion, holding a bouquet of tea pots and half-closed a pair of peach blossoms Eyes, listen carefully to the zither played by the actors in the house.

The actor had dark eyes and pink faces, and he didn't know what tune he was playing. He saw that he was playing thirteen strings with plain hands and wrists.

"Okay, good." After the song was played, Li Yunyi couldn't help but praise, "Jialan's piano skills have improved again." The actor's name is Jialan, a woman Li Yunyi accidentally rescued a year ago, and she was born innocent. But because her family fortune was gone, she was sold into a restaurant by her father to become a singer, but Jialan refused. Li Yunyi and Qu Yeliang happened to pass by, and then helped each other, and now they have become one of Li Yunyi's concubines.

"The official praised it absurdly." Jia Lan smiled shyly, with slender eyebrows and cherry lips, bright eyes under long eyelashes peeking at Li Yunyi, and the tasseled pearl pendant jingled against her ear.

Li Yunyi lowered his eyes, and took a sip of the warm air floating in the cup.At this time, a little servant girl approached the pavilion and said softly: "Sixth Young Master, Lord Lu and Lord Lou have arrived at the main hall."

"Okay, let's go." Li Yunyi smiled at the servant girl, then looked around, "Why didn't you see Yuying?"

"Returning to the sixth young master, Yuying is serving the eighth young master. A few days ago, the fifteenth young master asked Yuying to go to Qiushui Pavilion."

"Oh?" Li Yunyi raised his eyebrows, handed the tea cup in his hand to the little maid beside him, and pursed his lips meaningfully, "Fifth Brother, this kid really knows how to make his own decisions."

After returning to the room, Xiao Zhouheng changed into a long gown casually and rushed to the hall. After stepping in, he looked around and saw the thirteenth young master Li Yunguang, the fifteenth young master Li Yunwei, the eighteenth young master Li Yunwu and the tenth young master who had just rushed back from Wuling last night. Ninth Young Master Li Yunwang, after saluting one by one with all the young masters, found a side table and sat down.There are many female family members in Li's house, it is not suitable to attend the table, and then they all eat in another hall.

Today, the main hall is extremely lively, with silver lamps and golden candles, orange, yellow and orange green, and the maidservants filed in with food.Behind the cloud screen, there was a beautiful figure, and the beautiful woman seemed to have plucked the strings with her hands, and began to play a piece of pipa.

At the beginning of the song, Xiao Zhouheng heard that it was a young man named Qu Yi, pushing, pulling, kneading and reciting a total of five sections.It roughly talks about the situation where the wanderer returns home to spend a good time with his family and friends, and gets drunk in the courtyard. It is also appropriate to put it on today's banquet.At this time, Li Yunyi, Lu Hongqiu and Lou Beiyin had just stepped into the hall and sat down together.Then Qu Yeliang also came in, and seemed to have said something to Li Yunyi, and found a seat closer to him and knelt down.After that, Li Zhongnan came late.

Xiao Zhouheng was dizzy from hunger, and only hoped that there would be fewer toasts in a while. He was thinking to himself when he was patted hard behind him, and an arm was put on his shoulder immediately, and the sound of Hong Zhong's voice pierced through his ears: "brother Xiao, long time no see."

A heart-rending pain came from the right arm, this palm hit Xiao Zhouheng's sore right shoulder in the past few days, causing his internal organs to tremble, Xiao Zhouheng cried out inwardly. Okay, but he still replied honestly: "Dong Chi, don't come here without any problems."

Han Tieyi laughed twice, just as Xiao Zhouheng wanted to remind him that his seat was not here, the man sat down beside Xiao Zhouheng calmly.Han Tieyi was originally a subordinate of General Li Yanqing Li. He was seriously injured in a battle two years ago to protect Li Yanqing. The teacher also left Li's residence, so he stayed after Han Tieyi recovered from his injuries.It's just that Han Tieyi doesn't live in the house, so Xiao Zhouheng doesn't see him often.

Han Tieyi is tall and tall. He claims to hold an ax in the left called "Sifeng" and an ax in the right called "Chuanyue". After the meat, Li Yanqing was kept intact.After Li Yanqing was rescued by him, he praised him as "fighting fast and safe, once you end up in the front, and never in the back", so he won the name of Han Dongchi, the iron father of Jidou in the army.

Xiao Zhouheng naturally did not fully believe Han Tieyi's statement when he was drunk. First, he had known Han Tieyi for a long time but had never seen his double axes. Second, his usual posture and expression seemed to have nothing to do with being brave and good at fighting. : At this moment, Han Tie's clothes were half open, and as soon as he sat down, he picked up the sheep's feet in front of him and gnawed them, making a creaking sound in his mouth. After gnawing one, he put ten thick fingers into his mouth one by one to suck. He squeezed over and over again to talk to Xiao Zhouheng, and patted Xiao Zhouheng's back while talking. The seat was so small that Xiao Zhouheng couldn't dodge it, so he simply didn't dodge it, and let Han Tieyi's will The hand walked back and forth on his back.

"Han Dongchi." Seeing everyone looking sideways at the two of them, Xiao Zhouheng felt that the handprint that Han Tieyi had just printed on his body was magnified thousands of times under everyone's gaze, and felt like a glow on his back instantly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"What?" Han Tieyi didn't notice Xiao Zhouheng's unnaturalness at all, as if he had already stretched out his hand to the second hoof, "If you don't eat such good food, my brother will eat it for you." The roasted pig's trotter The whole body was translucent, with seductive oily light oozing out from the candlelight in the courtyard, as soon as Xiao Zhouheng opened his mouth, the glutton in his stomach hooked up and let out a loud cry.

At the same time, Li Yunyi, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

"Going home late today, I kept everyone waiting for Li for a long time. If you are guilty, Li will punish yourself first." Li Yunyi held the cup, drank the wine, and called the servants around him to fill it up, and said, "Today It is a great honor to meet Lord Lu, Lord Lou, the emperor's kindness is great, the sage is wise, and the whole family of the Li family is protected from worry, this cup is toast to my dynasty, and I hope my dynasty will be safe and peaceful."

After saying that, he stood up and offered a toast to Lu Hongqiu and Lou Beiyin, and they also stood up to pay their respects.A few people chatted in an official tone for a while, Li Yunyi called the maid to fill him up, looked at Li Zhongnan's place, raised the wine cup to the direction of Li Zhongnan's seat, and said with a smile, "Today is also a welcome for my eighth brother. Xichen, it is not easy for you and my brothers to get together these years, so we must spend the whole night with you. Since you left, we have added little Shiba and Xiaojiu, and little sister Longsha. I've seen it." Li Yunyi pointed to Li Yunwu and Li Yunwang, and the two children got up immediately, replaced the wine with tea, and made a composition to Li Zhongnan's seat.

Li Zhongnan returned the salute while saying: "Thank you Sixth Brother, all the big and small things in the clan all these years depend on Sixth Brother, Zhong Nan is not able to share, I am really ashamed, I respect Sixth Brother for this cup." Li Zhongnan raised his glass and drank the wine , paused and said, "I met the eighteenth brother ten years ago, when he was less than three years old. Naturally, the nineteenth brother and the younger sister met for the first time."

The person behind the screen seemed to feel this kind of joy, and with a swipe of his fingertips, he cut to the second paragraph, occasionally having a famous wine to attract guests.

Li Yunyi accepted it without hesitation, shook the wine cup in his hand with a smile, and said: "The beauty of Zhongshan..." Li Yunyi's voice was extremely long, sweeping away everyone at the table.

Everyone looked at each other, the hand holding the cup was hanging in the air, only Li Zhongnan straightened his sleeves as if he didn't hear it.

Li Yunyi coughed dryly, and said it again: "The beauty of Zhongshan..." As he spoke, he looked at Qu Yeliang.Han Tieyi squeezed over, covered his voice and said to Xiao Zhouheng: "Brother Xiao, why is the Sixth Young Master so poor at drinking, he's drunk after just a few drinks?"

Xiao Zhouheng shook his head, signaling Han Tieyi to keep silent.

Li Yunyi said it for the third time, slamming every word, as if he was quite drunk: "Zhong, mountain, it, beauty." In the third section of the pipa song, the master cheers and persuades the guests, and the guests are drunk with joyful words; It's because the host doesn't allow it, and the guests feel uneasy.

Li Zhongnan chuckled softly: "The beauty of Zhongshan is the beauty of jade. The brilliance shines like a rainbow. A gentleman is adorned, and he looks like virtue and evil. I think this is what the sixth brother is talking about," Li Zhongnan said from He took out a piece of flannelette from his bosom and spread it out in his palm, it was a Liuyun jade pendant.Li Zhongnan handed it to the maidservant sideways, and the maidservant bowed her head and took small steps to Li Yunyi's table. Li Yunyi glanced at it and stroked it carefully with her hands. There was a strange light in his eyes - he seemed to be crying but not smiling. Looking from afar, Xiao Zhou Heng didn't understand what Li Yunyi was looking at.

Forget it, there are a lot of ignorance in this world, such as love and hate, such as the human heart, such as...

After a long time, Li Yunyi put away the jade pendant and the light and darkness in his eyes, and said, "Zhong Nan, it's fortunate that you have returned."

Xiao Zhouheng let out a long sigh of relief. He had just seen Qu Yeliang and Li Yunyi look at each other, Qu Yeliang's posture of getting up, and his right hand with distinct muscles and bones that seemed to be placed on his waist.

If Li Zhongnan can't answer, or if he doesn't have that jade pendant, I'm afraid it is, I am afraid it is...

"As the eighth son of the Li family, Zhong Nan is unable to show his filial piety. When I return home this time, I have no plans to travel far. I have nothing to do outside. Now I only want to serve a few aunts, educate my younger siblings, and wait for my father to return home in triumph." .” Before waiting for everyone’s reaction, Li Zhongnan ate a cup by himself.Li Yunyi smiled dryly, feeling stupefied. When he saw him in the afternoon, the man didn't say a word. Since he couldn't speak out in front of the guests, Li Yunyi had to cough dryly and said, "That's the best. It should be the case of the Li family. It also belongs to the name of the eighth brother, and I, the eldest son of a concubine, have been managing on behalf of the sixth brother for a few years."

Unexpectedly, Li Zhongnan waved his hands again and again: "Sixth Brother misunderstood, Zhong Nan didn't want to compete with Sixth Brother for the position of Patriarch..."

Before Li Zhongnan finished speaking, he heard a cold sneer from the banquet, followed the prestige, and saw the thirteenth young master Li Yunguang folded his arms on his chest, with a disdainful expression on his face: "It's not because he came to fight."

Xiao Zhouheng said something bad again, it was not the first time he saw Li Yunguang, that man was surly and slightly frivolous, he was really a teaser, if he opened his mouth, it would definitely be a storm.

"Thirteenth brother."

"Why, why don't you let me talk about it?" Li Yunguang rolled his eyes, "Sixth brother can't say it because of his feelings, so let me tell you, when did he take Li's mansion as his own home? Come and talk if you want Stay and stay, do you really regard Li's residence as a Goulan cottage?"

Li Yunguang had two thick eyebrows and a pair of evil eyes. He glanced at everyone at the banquet, and his anger burst out from his eyes: "Thanks to you being the eldest son of the mansion, the aunt has passed away, which young man are you fooling around with?"

Li Yunyi coughed dryly again, and winked at Li Yunguang, but unfortunately that person didn't notice it at all, and neither did Li Zhongnan, his back was straight, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.The pipa played to the fourth section, and a person in the song suddenly sang and chatted, dancing and competing for glory; this room is full of sorrow and hatred, and no one gets drunk.

Xiao Zhouheng secretly said, Li Zhongnan is really thick-skinned.

"He has ignored Li's family all these years. What's the point of showing filial piety, being glamorous and extremely beautiful? I'm not the fifteenth younger brother. Collar." After speaking, he glared at Li Yunwei who was silent beside him, "It's already past the age of curly hair, and you still look like a scumbag in everything you do!"

"Thirteenth brother!"

"Sixth brother!" Seeing Li Yunyi raised his voice, Li Yunguang was also impatient, "Before my father left, he said that he would let the prince come back this time. Didn't he come back this time in the name of the Duke? Sixth brother still doesn't know? "

"My younger brother's stubbornness made everyone laugh." Li Yunyi didn't respond directly, and apologized first, calmed his expression for a moment, and turned to Li Yunguang, "Thirteenth brother, there are some things you don't know, but you just need to know this The person at the table is your starling, aunt's own son, the eldest son of the Li family, that's all."

Li Yunguang snorted again, apparently not approving Li Yunyi's remarks.

Han Tieyi took a sip of his wine and leaned over again: "Brother Xiao, who do you think General Li's title will be passed on to?"

Xiao Zhouheng lowered his head, "What do you think?"

"I think Young Master Thirteen is a character." Han Tieyi wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Zhouheng choked on water, and was about to ask Han Tieyi why he said this, but the music behind the screen suddenly entered Xiao Zhouheng's ears.

At the same time, Li Yunyi took the case and got up angrily. Everyone thought it was Li Yunguang's words that caused the trouble just now, and they were all a little scared, but unexpectedly Li Yunyi went straight to the screen.

Only Xiao Zhouheng understood that although Xiao Zhouheng was not good at rhythm, under the influence of his friend Huangfu Chu, one of the "Three Heroes of Jinling", he could still listen a little.Just now, the song "Reminiscence of Youth" was finished, it was Dongfang Xing, and the guests were drunk; but the actor made his own decision, and continued a paragraph. Different from the previous one, which described the scene of the interplay of cups and cups, the new song was sad and beautiful. If a woman murmurs and mourns endlessly, it will inevitably make Li Yunyi unhappy, but I didn't expect that Li Yunyi would be so disrespectful regardless of the presence of everyone at the table.

"Who asked you to play this piece!"

The beautiful woman inside responded, holding pear ivory, and plucking the five strings with her hands, without gaps, gathering far away from the evening clouds, making the most subtle meaning.

Li Yunyi pulled the screen with his backhand, the woman flinched, her eyelashes filled with tears, and her hands continued to writhe.

"Who taught you this song!"

I don't know why Li Yunyi was suddenly angry, seeing Li Yunyi's ten fingers twitching and about to climb onto the woman's neck.

Qu Yeliang left the table like lightning, and went to pull the two of them away.

"It's not good, it's not good." A little servant girl from outside the hall came panting and fell to her knees on the door rail.

It was like a blow to the head, waking up everyone at the banquet.At first the servant girl was trembling and weeping, but then she could only hear a sharp mournful voice: "Yu, sister Yuying, she is dead."

After the screen was shattered, both hands shook at the same time, one of them slid their hands to the other's shoulders, looked at their sweaty hands, and sighed; one played the last song, which was abrupt and ear-piercing, the strings broke at the end of the song, and the long night was torn apart.

The author has something to say: *From Wei Jin, Guo Pu, Jin Yu Yuzan.
