Jiuli Meixiang

.

There was always a mocking smile on his lips, and he walked past Mei Changsu without looking sideways.

"Dingling bells!...Dingling bells!..." He heard a series of bells echoing each other.

He really can't stop it.What reason is there to stop it?

It seemed that there were still clear and crisp silver bells floating across the night sky of Jinling City, until there was no sound at all.

The cold wind of the snowy night blows in through the open doors and windows, creating a palpitating and biting desolation.

Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui, who had just returned to the capital from Huqiu Hot Spring, were very worried when they heard that Mei Changsu was seriously ill to the point of saying goodbye behind closed doors.Today the Su Residence finally opened the door and let them in to visit, Yan Yujin didn't wait to enter the door, he had already yelled "Brother Su, Brother Su...".

Leaping forward, seeing that Mei Changsu was still a little pale, but still in good spirits, he relaxed and joked, "Jiu'er should be punished! I always vowed to take good care of Brother Su, but why did you get so angry?" A serious illness!"

The smile on Mei Changsu's lips immediately faded a little, and he put the scroll sideways on the desk, covering his face, and said softly, "It's just a little cold, it's much better."

Yan Yujin couldn't wait to say: "Brother Su, I brought a few baskets of citrus recently shipped from Lingnan. You are sick and your mouth is bitter, so it's best to eat that!"

"Okay!" Mei Changsu responded with a smile.

"Where's Jiuer and Feiliu? These two little guys must love to eat!"

"Fei Liu." Mei Changsu called softly.He took a lovely orange citrus and handed it to him.

Watching his expression, Xiao Jingrui faintly sensed something.Yan Yujin was still stabbing the knife foolishly: "Where's Jiuer?"

Mei Changsu hangs his head to peel the oranges. "She's not in the Su residence anymore."

"Not in the Su residence?" Yan Yujin raised his voice, not bothering to eat the sweet oranges, "Where did you go when you weren't in the Su residence?"

Xiao Jingrui also looked over with a puzzled face.

Mei Changsu still lowered his head, and with his long and slender fingers peeled off the white silk from the orange petals, he seemed to hear, "Brother Su's hands are so beautiful!" and said, "Sweet! "A pair of smiling eyes bent into a clear crescent spring.

Holding the peeled fat orange petals in his hand, he didn't eat them. He raised his head to meet Xiao Jingrui's and Yan Yujin's eyes, and said with a faint smile, "I guess I'm going home."

"Go home?..." Yan Yujin continued to ask, but was interrupted by Xiao Jingrui grabbing his sleeve.

Xiao Jingrui said: "Brother Su is really in good health? It's not a trivial matter to get sick in this solar term. Although the doctors in my father's house are not as good as...but they are better than other ordinary medical centers in Beijing, but I need to send him Come and have a look?"

Mei Changsu said: "It is true that there is no problem. The League has also appointed a doctor, so you don't have to worry."

Even the new doctor is invited!Yan Yujin froze for a moment, it seemed that Jiu'er had really left, and she might not come back again.He couldn't help but glance at Mei Changsu again.

Mei Changsu leaned back, reached out to put the hand stove back into his bosom.This winter, it's been a bit colder.

On this day, Mei Changsu was reading silently at the table when Zi Yanhou's mansion persuaded him to return.The booklet is in hand, and I haven't turned a page in half a day.On the desk was a half-painted painting, after a long pause, it finally unfolded, took the paintbrush and re-painted in detail.

Suddenly I heard Fei Liu yelling in the courtyard: "Jiuer! Jiuer!!"

Mei Changsu felt suffocated in his heart, and before he had time to think, he had already walked out quickly—is she back? !

Fei Liu was in the garden, and Mei Changsu didn't know why he yelled until he walked over - the original colorful garden had already decayed, and compared with the bustle of the previous moment, the current sporadic state seemed even more desolate and unsightly.Holding the empty Tianxianglu porcelain bottle, Fei Liu stood in the garden at a loss.

"Fei Liu, it's winter now, and they will slowly grow and bloom again by next spring." Mei Changsu comforted him.

But Feiliu just yelled, "Jiuer! Jiuer!"

Yes, if she is here, the flowers will bloom well, no matter it is winter or not.He will be fine, no matter whether he is in the gloomy and treacherous place of the capital or not.

Some things can't be thought of, can't think of.Hastily cupping his sleeves, covering his mouth and nose, accompanied by a violent cough, he bent down slightly, his face flushed, and he tried his best to calm the frightened Fei Liu.She was also frightened that day, but he didn't comfort her.And the wound on her hand, I don't know if it has healed.With her senior brother around, thinking about it, she would never suffer.

Mei Changsu leaned on the couch, watching Doctor Yan with his eyes closed and feeling his pulse carefully for a long time.The old doctor frowned, and there was still an expression of indignation on his face, which made people a little funny.Slowing down, he flattered him and said, "I followed your orders today, and have been resting all the time?"

Dr. Yan opened his eyes, sighed, and said bluntly: "I really want to meet that girl named Jiu'er that Li Gang was talking about. She has taken good care of your body. If you hadn't been angry these days and Too much worry, I didn't need to come here."

Mei Changsu's eyes were lowered, and the faint smile on the corners of his lips could hardly be seen.

Dr. Yan handed over the decoction, and he reached out his hand to take it from the tightly wrapped quilt, swallowed only one mouthful, and then suddenly raised his eyes to look at the hale and hearty old man sitting beside him.

Dr. Yan snorted: "Don't look at me, this soup is sent by Aunt Ji."

Mei Changsu smiled wryly: "She is closer to Aunt Ji."

Dr. Yan closed his eyes half-closed and ignored him for a while, then asked him: "Leave aside the trivial matters, you have thought it through yourself, do you really want that girl back?"

Mei Changsu was a little dazed and leaned softly on the pillow.Next to her ear is her voice like a mountain stream: "I'm here to marry Brother Su!"...

"Will you marry me?"

"meeting."

……

Did he really not see the trap buried under her sly smile? ...

No matter how chaotic the situation is, no matter how sinister people's hearts are, he can sort it out.Only this one, but he had to be confused.

Chapter 19

After being discovered by Mei Changsu, Aunt Ji simply delivered a bowl of soup every day without interruption.

At the beginning, Aunt Ji was still guarding against him asking questions, so she prepared a draft in advance and thought of all kinds of excuses.Unexpectedly, the suzerain didn't mention it at all!While letting out a sigh of relief, Aunt Ji looked at the dark brown soup, feeling a little depressed.

Another day, Aunt Ji delivered the medicine, hurriedly returned to the kitchen, and said to the empty house, "Princess Nihuang has come to our Su residence!"

"Where is it?" A red shadow floated down from the beam.

"In the study with the suzerain."

Mei Changsu was wearing a thick cloak and sat around the charcoal fire with Nihuang.Because of sitting close to each other for a long time, his always cold hands were also soaked in the warmth of the fire, with a trace of fresh warmth.

"You're in good health, you shouldn't be running around so quickly." Mei Changsu stretched out his hand, and hung it closer to the charcoal basin.

Nihuang smiled and said, "It's no rush to visit my elder brother. Besides, I'm not a delicate lady in the boudoir in the capital, and I'm already in good health."

There was a silence.Mei Changsu's hands, which looked thinner and thinner than those of ordinary women, hung lonely above the charcoal fire, and his sleeves slid down a bit, revealing the same thin wrists.

Nihuang looked at this person who was completely different from his long-term memory, and was a little dazed.

Sensing her gaze, Mei Changsu lowered his head and retracted his hands, and put them back into his sleeves.

At this time, there was a soft sound from the eaves of the porch, and the two people in the room heard it, and they all looked at the opposite door beam.After waiting for a moment, there was silence again.The midwinter gray sky embedded in the door frame is like a silent ancient painting that hangs there leisurely after more than ten years, ignoring the vicissitudes of life.

Nihuang turned her head to look at Mei Changsu, and saw him leaning over to pour tea, as if the sound just now was just erroneous, but a little smile leaked from the corner of his lips.

She guessed who it was.

Taking the teacup he handed over, Nihuang asked bluntly, "Should I go back to Yunnan?"

On weekdays, if Nihuang didn't mention it, he would persuade her to return to Yunnan.She is a female commander in the southern border, a female hero who is as elegant as a man, and she should not be stuck in the intrigue and power struggle in the capital.Now, he knew that she asked more than that.

But how should he answer?He missed her for 12 years!Could it be that he came back 12 years later just to tell her that what she clings to is actually nothing.

A hearty fire burned between them.

"Brother, do you feel ashamed of Nihuang?" She asked again.

He did feel guilty for her.In fact, acknowledging guilt is already an answer.

"Nihuang..." He couldn't say anything.There are several 12 years for a person, let alone a woman.Anything he says will be an excuse.

So, she said.

"Brother, why should you be ashamed? If it's for these 12 years of waiting, it's even more unnecessary. I have been waiting for these 12 years, not just because of brother Lin Shu. When my father died suddenly in battle, I was ordered to guard the southern border since then. I made an oath Qing'er can't bear the heavy responsibility of the king of Yunnan for a day, so I will stay in Mufu for a day until he becomes an adult and can take on the heavy responsibility." At this point, Nihuang smiled, and his brows lost a bit of courage and heroism , with a touch of femininity, even girlish innocence and beauty.

"Even without that childhood engagement, you are still my elder brother Lin Shu, the dearest person in this world to Nihuang. To me, the most important thing is that you are still alive. Standing on the ground, will elder brother be harsh and angry with Nihuang? If not, elder brother should know my state of mind at the moment, and I don't want you to feel guilty and sad."

Mei Changsu's heart seemed to have been scalded by the fire in this charcoal basin, it was warm and painful, but he couldn't say a word.If there hadn't been that great change, they would still look like they were when they were young, and if they followed the path drawn by their parents and they were willing, they might have made that youthful emotion unforgettable and become another part of each other without any suspense.However, the world
