Looking at the mountains and rivers

Chapter 26

Everyone was stunned, and immediately started looting. The amount of those golden melon seeds was quite impressive, and in the end everyone had a small handful of gold in their belts.The servants were obviously shocked by the young master's generosity. Even in the most luxurious princely house in Jian'an City, they had never heard of such a random throwing of gold to reward others.

Fang Ming stood aside, holding an empty plate, a little dazed.The Fang family has been in charge of the prince's mansion for generations. He has heard from his father since he was a child that these princely mansions have a huge structure and complicated relationships.These words are easy to say, but not easy to do.Until now, watching these servants change from their lazy appearance to bright eyes, scrambling to kneel at Yang Yan's feet, kowtowing, and thanking him, he suddenly understood that this is the ruler of the royal family. way.

This mid-autumn night was very lively, and the few urns of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that had been rewarded were all drunk. The servants were obviously very happy after winning the reward and winning the lottery.When the crowd dispersed, it was already after midnight, and Yang Yan, who was sitting in the seat, showed exhaustion from his smile. He leaned back on the chair with a look of sighing.

"My lord, Aunt Luolan brought all these golds some time ago. You don't feel bad for rewarding people like this," Fang Ming said with a smile, "I've never been so generous to me in the past."

Before Yang Yan could speak, Wei Changxuan, who had been silent for most of the night, said coldly, "I only ate two pieces of that smoked pork leg during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and my son didn't eat a single bite. The rest went into your stomach." .”

If others heard this, they would definitely say that pork leg can be compared with gold?But Fang Ming couldn't refute it. He knew that now they had boxes of gold and silver, and the rewards were only one out of a hundred, but at that time, they only had that one smoked pork leg.

"Fang Ming, you have been tired all day today, go and rest earlier." Yang Yan smiled and said to him.

"But..." Fang Ming hesitated, he wanted to say that I'm gone, who will wait for the young master to rest?

Wei Changxuan obviously saw his doubts, waved his hands and said, "Go, I'm here."

After Fang Ming left hesitantly, Yang Yan stood up slowly. He muttered, "I'm so tired after sitting all night."

Wei Changxuan laughed. He had been standing behind watching Yang Yan all night, seeing him sitting there calmly, talking to everyone, and then being surrounded by thanking him with a calm expression.At that time, he suddenly had an illusion that Yang Yan was very strange, as if he was sitting on a very high position, overlooking all living beings.Unexpectedly, this sentence gave up his confidence again, Yang Yan was still the child he was familiar with, and the previous ones were probably just pretending to bluff people.

"Speaking of which, those boxes of gold and silver don't actually belong to Aunt Luolan," Wei Changxuan said in a low voice, "She just followed Duke Tuoba to the capital, so why did she come here with so much money in such a big way? It must have been borrowed by Duke Tuoba." In the name of Aunt Lorraine, isn't it?"

Yang Yan obviously thought of this verse long ago, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"I heard that he also gave Yang Jue more than a dozen horses from the extreme west. With his status, there is no need to flatter Yang Jue. Sending such a generous gift is just to let him treat you kindly." Wei Changxuan sighed after finishing speaking. Said, "I guess Duke Tuoba still misses you very much."

"Maybe," Yang Yan sighed softly, "Grandpa is a person who values ​​face, he must not want to see me have a bad life, or maybe he just feels sorry for my grandma."

He lowered his head and was silent for a while: "No matter what, we really need these right now, I thought, let Fang Ming seal a few silver coins in two days, and send them together with the name cards to the residence of several captains of Habayashi Guard .”

Wei Changxuan was startled: "What are you giving them?"

Yang Yan smiled lightly, but the smile was bitter: "I know that Chen Shao intends to recommend you to the Habayashi Guard, although he is the nephew of the Great General Habayashi, and the recommendation letter is precious, but there are many children in the Habayashi Guard, so it is not necessarily Take his account. If you have no background like this, you may suffer a loss if you go in, so you'd better manage it up and down to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Hearing his tone, Wei Changxuan had planned it for a long time, and couldn't help wondering: "When did I say I was going to Habayashi Guard?"

"Didn't you have the intention of leaving before?" Yang Yan bit her lower lip, "Finding a job in the Habayashi Guard is a good prospect. Your foster father will be very happy when he finds out."

Letting myself enter the Habayashi Guard is indeed something my father has always hoped for. Wei Changxuan listened to Chen Shao's advice some time ago, and his heart was not unshakable, but...

"What will you do if I leave?" Wei Changxuan asked in a daze.

Yang Yan smiled again, the smile seemed to be forced out: "I have no worries about food and clothing now, and there are so many servants serving me, so there is nothing to worry about."

Wei Changxuan looked at him, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Yexi, I offended you last night, are you angry with me?"

Yang Yan seemed startled, he took two steps back and shook his head again and again.

In fact, although Wei Changxuan drank a lot of wine last night, Wei Changxuan has not yet lost consciousness. He woke up this morning and remembered what he did last night. bring this up.

"Are you angry with me, so you want to drive me away?" Wei Changxuan asked again.

Yang Yan looked like he was about to cry, he shook his head vigorously: "I'm not angry with you." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "How could I be angry with you."

When Wei Changxuan heard these words, his heart skipped a beat. When he recovered, he realized that he had hugged Yang Yan.Yang Yan was very thin, yet very soft in his arms. He didn't move, but buried his head on Wei Changxuan's shoulder.

"Then why do you want me to go to Habayashi Guard?" Wei Changxuan asked with a sigh, "Didn't I promise that I would always be with you?"

Yang Yan didn't speak, but trembled a little. After a long time, Wei Changxuan finally realized that something was wrong. He pulled Yang Yan's shoulders, and in the deep night, he saw big tears rolling down from his eyes.

"Because I know that you are going to leave eventually," Yang Yan said with tears on his cheeks, and his voice trembled slightly, "The treasure chest is like a dragon's chant, you are the sharpest sword in the world, one day, I will fly out of the box. Although I don't want you to leave, I can't keep you trapped like this and miss your future."

Wei Changxuan stared at him blankly, and said in a low voice, "Yexi, don't cry, if you don't want me to go, I will always be with you."

"Wei Changxuan," Yang Yan raised his head slowly, "If you really stay by my side, in this yard, to pass the time, in retrospect, are you really willing?"

Wei Changxuan was stunned, now it is no longer the same as before, he can live a life of rich clothes and fine food every day, and idle around like a son of a wealthy family in this mansion.But all his life, he was just a companion of the prince's son, doing nothing for a lifetime, and finally died peacefully on the bed, but this was definitely not the life he wanted to spend.In his dreams, he wants to hold a heavy knife handle, a sharp bow and arrow, and he wants to ride a horse and gallop in the endless wilderness without stopping.

He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head. There were no stars and no moon in the dark night, which made him almost breathless. He knew that he would not be reconciled to staying here.

From his silence, Yang Yan had already guessed the answer, and he sighed softly: "So I thought about it, instead of letting you feel resentment in the future, it is better to plan a way out for you now, maybe in the future, you will have to rely on the You are my backer."

The last sentence he said was half-truth and half-false, which seemed a bit like a joke, but Wei Changxuan's heart moved, and he subconsciously responded, and changed his tone of joke: "If I go to Habayashi Wei, you You will never see me again."

Yang Yan was slightly taken aback, and immediately retorted: "Habayashi guards are only guarding the capital. I heard that the soldiers who live in Jian'an City can leave the camp when they are not on duty. You can always come back when you have time." He seemed to be comforting He sighed softly like himself, "It's just that we rarely see each other, and Jian'an City is not big..."

What he didn't say is that Jian'an is not big, even if this small courtyard can't keep you, it's enough to keep you in Jian'an.But I still dare not let you go further to see the world. I am afraid that you will never come back to this small courtyard after seeing how big the world is.

On August 27, Jian'an City East.

It was a lively time at this time, all the shops in the market were open, and there were various stalls on the side of the road. The sound of "stinging" is endless, it is the sound of fried mustard cakes, and the gouache shop next to it is clearing the goods, and the strong fragrance of rose paste mixed with the oily fragrance in the air, it smells a bit strange and stifling.

A big car from the outskirts stopped at the entrance of Jiefang in the busy city. In the car, merchants who came to the city to sell goods came down in twos and threes, all holding heavy burdens in their hands.Suddenly, the old merchant who was getting off the car was pushed, and the person behind him seemed to be in a hurry. After pushing him away, he hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran along the road.

The old merchant scolded loudly: "Things that have lost their children and grandchildren, are you rushing to reincarnate!"

He was not wrong in cursing, the man who hurried away was dressed in the uniform of a servant, and he was indeed an eunuch who had lost all children and grandchildren.With a pale face, the little inner eunuch walked through the crowded downtown, and finally ran along a small road to the gate of the magnificent royal residence in the east of the city—Mu Wangfu.

Because of the urgency of the matter, he didn't care to pass the message to the door according to the rules, so he knocked on the side door abruptly. Fortunately, he was dressed in the color of a servant, and the servants who guarded the door thought he was from the palace, so they rushed out Asked: "I don't know what's the matter with the father-in-law?"

The little inner supervisor stammered: "Wei... Is Wei Changxuan in the residence?"

The servant was slightly taken aback. He is a new servant who entered the mansion after the replacement of King Mu. He had never heard of Wei Changxuan's name, so he immediately shook his head: "There is no such person in the mansion."

The little inner eunuch turned pale with anxiety, and said again: "Isn't he working in front of the Fourth Young Master of your mansion, why isn't he here?"

The servant hurriedly said: "The fourth young master is in the south courtyard, you go around to the right and enter the first door you see."

Hearing what he said, the little eunuch had no choice but to run over there again along the wall. He felt his throat was dry, his heart was about to jump out, and he knocked on the door without thinking.When the door was opened, everyone in the yard looked at him strangely, but he didn't care about anything, he almost threw himself in front of the familiar boy and wailed, "Brother Xuan, take care of him... something happened to him Already!"

Wei Changxuan was originally looking at the newly delivered Habayashi Guards uniform with Fang Ming and others in the yard, as well as a heavy waist badge. He planned to wear this military uniform to meet his adoptive father in two days, and he expected that he would He was so happy that he raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the little eunuch guarding the imperial mausoleum rushed in, wailing, "What happened to him, the chief!"

Before Wei Changxuan could react for a moment, he asked in a daze, "What's going on, what's wrong with Dad?"

"There was a word in the palace that the emperor was entrusted in a dream by the late emperor some time ago. The late emperor lamented that there were no servants around him, and asked a few servants who had served the imperial court to die to serve the master. Among them was the name of the chief steward. Here comes the poisoned wine." The little inner prisoner was sobbing and choking, "The people who came to announce the decree were all the people under the former chief manager, and they purposely allowed half a day to let me take Brother Xuan to see the chief manager for the last time."

When Wei Changxuan heard the last word, his face lost all color as if struck by lightning.Fang Ming beside him was also stunned, and stammered: "This... what is this, is the emperor going to bestow death upon a dream?"

"I heard... I heard..." The little inner eunuch continued to speak while trembling, but then glanced at the courtyard vigilantly. There were many people standing in the courtyard, all of whom had heard the sound, and each face was very concerned. Unfamiliar and alarming.He finally went up to grab Wei Changxuan, and whispered anxiously in his ear, "Brother Xuan, come with me, it's late...you won't be able to see the manager if you're late!"

He was about to go out with this stone-like boy, but he heard a clear voice behind him saying: "Fang Ming, bring that purple roe over from the front yard, hurry up!"

The little inner eunuch turned around, and saw a young man in a moon-white shirt walking out of the room. The young man had clear eyes and looked straight at them.A trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his anxious heart, he thought to himself, isn't the fourth son of the palace blind, why can't he see it at all, besides, he is so handsome, like a person in the clouds.

Just as he was dazed, Fang Ming quickly led the horse outside the door, and handed the reins to Wei Changxuan: "Brother Wei, get on the horse!"

Wei Changxuan's expression was somewhat frightening. Without saying a word, he stepped forward to take the reins, regardless of the little eunuch behind him, and jumped on the horse. The purple steed was a rare horse, and it disappeared in an instant .
