Picking chrysanthemum

Gao Fan's face became even more unpredictable. He took a sip, looked at the servant with his knees on the ground tremblingly and said: "My lord, I'm so incompetent, I couldn't stop Mr. Xun."

Gao Fan covered his eyes with his hands, the sun is particularly bright today.He asked, "Did you say anything?"

The servant said: "Young Master Xun is concerned about the Grand Master and wants to go back to the mansion to serve the sick. Let the younger one explain to the prince for him what happened and forgive him for leaving the banquet halfway."

Gao Fan understood, and felt sore, lamented that that person also faltered and fled in a hurry, and lamented that such a situation was caused by himself.

After setting the tea set with her own hands, Gao Fan finally moved.The nave displays the collections that he put away at will, no matter the spoils of war or imperial gifts, those who get gifts alone take up a room.In the year of the weak crown, he has extraordinary financial resources and power, and everyone is dazzling and dangerous.

There are many people who like rare things, but Gao Fan looks at an ancient painting in a secluded place with a cold expression on his face.

He has never been an elegant scholar, and he has no intention of being arty. There are only a few places in the painting that show the general's momentum, which is particularly abrupt when you look closely. I don't know when it was written carelessly.

Gao Fan looked at his hand with curled fingers, and thought, Dongli must not pay attention to such poor calligraphy, or he will die in a hurry!

The night is as cool as water, and Donglixuan is located in the northernmost part of Xun Mansion, forming a garden of its own, avoiding the disturbance of idlers.Xun You wiped the bamboo flute that had been out for a long time, and put on his slender fingers.Somehow, I thought of the ease and leisure of traveling around in the past, so that the sound of the flute was slow, and the melody was quiet but mixed with a bit of joy.

Xun You was interrupted by the sound of stepping leaves, his heart trembled, and he said, "Who is there?"

The person came out from the dark, a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Dong Li, it's me, Wang Fan, who came to Kui Ye to disturb you."

Xun You's eyes flickered, and he stepped aside and moved a wooden stool to invite Wang Fan to sit down. He took a white porcelain cup from the tea tray, filled it with tea, and handed it to Wang Fan. Then he asked, "Why are you here?"

Going out in a hurry, Wang Fan's forehead was covered with fine sweat. It was uncomfortably hot at the moment, and he found the tea was cold, so he drank it in one gulp.After drinking, he exhaled twice and said: "I didn't see you when I went back. I heard from the abbot of Linjing Temple that you said goodbye to everyone and returned to Yecheng, so I thought about coming to see it, and it took half a month. "

Xun You smiled, and said: "Heh, why did you use the big iron gate of my Xun Mansion as a display, and didn't post it, just like the gentleman on the beam, and came in over the wall while the night was dark and the wind was high? Also, how did you know? I'm here?"

Wang Fan muttered softly, "I don't know what else you have."

"Ok?"

Wang Fan coughed dryly twice, and said, "I'm like the draft wind, which crawled over following the sound of the flute. What are you blowing——what willow?"

"Eclectic Willow."

"That's right, that's right, this is it, I knew it was you when I heard it, and ah, I'm white, and I might be thrown into a corner in a blink of an eye if I post a post, I still have to rely on my kung fu, cough—" - Just come in, it couldn't be easier."

Xun You joked: "I'm afraid it's because you have to find someone to do it for you when you write a greeting card."

Wang Fan pursed his lips and said, "I'm here to look for you, not to call on the grand master. If I can't post during the day, I climb over the wall at night. After all, I want to see you."

Xun You's heart was a little shaken, as if he felt a touch of emotion.He changed the subject and said, "It's a coincidence that you came here, the new tea has just been brewed."

"Oh? Where?"

Xun You pointed to Wang Fan: "It's already in the belly of the unintentional."

Wang Fan laughed and said: "I am a peony chewing on peony, I don't know the beauty of the country, I follow my own heart, but I don't know if the peony is willing."

"You always come up with some fallacies. Although I drink this tea tonight, it will not be available in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a heavenly thing."

Wang Fan hesitated to speak, he knew that Xun You understood his intentions, but Xun You avoided his hints in every possible way.

After a brief silence, Wang Fan sighed: "——Aren't you going back? Are you really planning to inherit your father's business? I can't imagine how you look like working hard on copywriting."

Xun Youdao: "There is no banquet in the world that never ends, but there are things that can't be helped."

"Yeah, is the three years of escape and comfort finally over?" At this moment, both of them were thinking about this sentence.

Xun You patted his friend on the shoulder and said: "Thirty miles to the east of the temple, there are ten acres of late chrysanthemums and eight post pavilions. The elegant house is next to hills and mountains, and the nameless canal goes around. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is too close to the border. Maybe one day the flames of war will burn there, you can take care of the real Donglixuan for me, and it will last as long as it lasts."

Without Xun You, how could it be considered Donglixuan, where the orphans adopted by the two of them were placed. If Xun You were not there, it would be a place for children to play and play.Wang Fan thought in frustration, he still resisted the fact that Xun You stayed in Yecheng, and even complained about Xun's father who disciplined him too much.

Xun You's tone suddenly became firm, and he said, "Ah Jiu, I've made up my mind!"

It is said that friendship between gentlemen is like a bright moon and a clear breeze. Looking up, the bright moon is so bright that it cannot illuminate the breeze, let alone keep it.

Seeing that Xun You was so determined, Wang Fan knew that this decision could not be taken back.He looked straight into the eyes of his sweetheart, and walked over in a daze.

Feeling the flashing temperature on her lips, Xun You exclaimed: "Wang Fan! You!"

Five fingerprints appeared on Wang Fan's face. He reluctantly let go of Xun You's arms, jumped up the courtyard wall, and said, "It's getting late, don't stay in Youyuan for a long time, add clothes carefully, and go to bed early." .”

The words of reprimand stuck in his chest, Xun You lowered his head and said, "I know it, and so do you."

"Dongli, I don't know what it will be like when we meet next time." After saying that, Wang Fan's figure returned to the dark night and was no longer seen.

Only Xun You stayed where he was, muttering, "Is there any possibility of meeting 'Wang Fan'?"

Know people

Early in the morning, Xun You pushed open the door and creaked, like an old wooden sob.

Swish - Swish -

In the courtyard, Lai Liu was sweeping with a broom made of twigs, and we could faintly see the delicate lines formed on the stone steps over the years.Last night he copied two pages from the scriptures and then fell down on the table to meet Zhou Gong. He slept for four full hours, and when he woke up he felt refreshed, so he copied the guy to sweep the floor to remove dust.

"Hey, son, the genius is bright, you don't have to rest for a while."

"No." Xun You's eyes were flushed, obviously not sleeping well.

Since the young master came home, he hasn't had a comfortable day. Lai Liu knew that Xun You had something on his mind, but he didn't know what it was, so he couldn't comfort him.

Xun You had already walked a few feet away, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Xiao Liu, do you want to go back to Linjing Temple?"

Lai Liu nodded and said, "Well~ Xiao Liu has nothing to worry about, but thinks that you smile more and sleep more peacefully when Prince Wang is around."

Seeing Xun You's face turned dark without saying a word, Lai Liu immediately admitted his mistake: "Hey, son, Xiao Liu knows that he was wrong, so don't be angry, it hurts your liver."

"It's pretty quick to admit a mistake, do you know—where is the mistake?"

"No, it shouldn't be—to mention the king..."

Seeing Lai Liu's bewildered and ignorant face, Xun You thought to himself: "That man acted so well that even I was fooled. How can I blame him if Xiao Liu didn't notice it? I'm so ridiculous that I got so angry Sprinkled on an innocent child."

He sighed leisurely, and didn't say anything, just said: "I didn't know that his kung fu is so high that he can enter and leave the Taishi's mansion like no one's land. You held the lamp last night and saw him coming. You are not worried but happy. You are wrong." He shouldn't be let in at that time, after all, here, this is not the lazy Donglixuan, but the Xun Mansion."

Lai Liu seemed to understand but didn't understand: "My lord, if Mr. Wang comes again tonight, can I stop him?"

"He won't come." Everything that should be tested and understood is already clear in his heart.When passing the courtyard wall, Xun You was still thinking about whether to build a layer of broken porcelain on the wall.

Lai Liu put the broom on, looked up at the sky with his hips on his hips, his face was blank, yesterday a prince said he would come again tonight, could it be?They had a fight?

In the East Market, there was a lot of hawking, Gao Fan got out of the wine shop, saw the servants of the mansion hurriedly looking for him, and reported: "Master, Mr. Yuan is back, and he is looking for you."

"The princess is back too?"

"Young Master Yuan came here by himself, saying that he has something urgent to discuss."

"You go back first."

"Yes."

Wearing plain clothes, Gao Fan strolled around the market for a few times, and finally relieved a bit of the pent-up breath in his heart. Looking at the hustle and bustle again, he suddenly wanted to laugh.Dong Li, today I know what deep talk means. There are many things that cannot be explained without reason, but they suffocate me.

At the end of the street, beggars often gather to rest.It is also a good place for those who live without a fixed place to avoid the shops and avoid the resentment and expulsion of businessmen, and it is closer to the street for begging.

Therefore, when Gao Fan passed by, a little beggar rushed towards him, his dirty hands almost grabbed the hem of Cheng Wang Jingui's clothes, and he said in an unpleasant cry, "Master, let's have some food."

"Your home—where did you live before?"

"In the west, a very big city."

It must be the refugees who escaped from Luoyang.

The copper coins were whirling in the broken pottery bowl, the sound was extremely shrill, but to the little beggar's ears it was like fairy music on earth.

He cried tearfully: "Thank you, thank you, Lord."

Gao Fan shook his head and continued on his way, thinking to himself, it is easy to support one person’s food and warmth, but it is difficult to obtain stability in the world. I have done too late and too little.

The little beggar got up from the ground, saw that the nobleman had already walked a few feet away, and hurriedly stuffed the string of money into his lapel.

However, nothing works.The whole beggar's nest saw the little beggar being rewarded.How could this beggar from the west have such good luck if he squeezed their territory?The wicked beggars were upset and surrounded the little beggars with thin arms and legs
