Another extra chapter
"Is this joking again?"
Xu Pei walked over from another table with a glass of wine and patted Yang Ruo on the shoulder: "It's okay for others, you-I still know something."
I'm afraid I'm too arrogant?
If you lower it, let alone a wife, you can get married even if you are ten or eight."
He and Yang Ruo touched the wine glass and smiled: "I have an unmarried legitimate sister. I don't even think about it. I admire you the most... How about it, do you want me to get a thread?"
"The daughter of the Marquis's family is so noble. Yang cannot afford to support him..." Yang Ruo picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go: "Little Marquis, you are a married man, so naturally you don't understand my suffering."
He smiled unconsciously, his eyes were slightly bent and his eyes were circling.
He is like a naturally romantic and affectionate person... he is partial, and his inner and outer body are exactly the opposite.
Xu Pei looked at him and coughed softly: "You can't have someone you like, right?"
Yang Ruo seemed to have not heard his question and poured wine on his own.
"really."
Xu Pei pushed Yang Ruo aside, sat on the bench, and toasted Zhang Juling again: "Gemaster Zhang, it's been a long time since we saw each other..." He looked down at Zhang Juling's right foot, "Are you all done?"
When I went to see you some time ago, you were still on a crutch."
Since the battle outside the Meridian Gate, he and Zhang Juling and Yang Ruo have had a life-long friendship. They have become much more casual and are more friendly than others.
Zhang Juling said "yes" and drank a glass of wine.
Zhang Juling is not a talkative person, and Xu Pei didn't mind, so he chatted with Gu Shu again.
His illusion sister is about to marry into the Gu family's big house, so she should pay more or less attention to it.
Gu Xuan stood up and saluted Xu Pei: "Good good luck to Mr. Xiao."
Xu Pei looked at him and waved his hand: "I know you, sit down."
The marriage of the husband sister was settled, so he naturally knew Gu Xuan.
At this time, the girl from Lingboyuan came to find Zhang Juling: "Mr. Aunt, Miss Six is ​​a little uncomfortable. The old lady asked me to come and invite you to come."
Before Zhang Juling could ask, Yang Ruo stood up suddenly: "...What happened?"
Her body has always been delicate and often sick.
Zhang Juling also stood up and looked up at him lightly, "Yuexi, why are you panic?"
Yang Ruo's reaction was very strange, but combined with the clips he had suspected and his seemingly ordinary but vague concern for his wife... it was not surprising at all.
In the flash, Zhang Juling was almost sure-Yang Ruo liked his wife.
People at the table were stunned when they saw such an emergency.
He glanced at Yang Ruo and looked at Zhang Juling again.
"I'm the burden..."
Yang Ruo looked at Zhang Juling, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and swallowed a word into her stomach.
In an instant, a thunder exploded in my mind, and a loud bang.
The two have been friends for many years, and they know each other and cherish each other.
What do you think between each other can be a rough idea with a little guess.
The strong wine covered his face, and for a moment, he really wanted to ignore it.
Be honest with everything.
The wife of a loving friend, he felt guilty and dirty... He had been reading the books of sages for so many years.
But if you love, you love.
What can I do?
It's hard to look back.
All diseases in the world can be cured, but lovesickness is difficult to resolve.
The lovesickness of a crush on someone is even more difficult to resolve.
“…He’s drunk, drunk.”
Xu Pei felt something was wrong, so he frowned and pulled Yang Ruo.
“…”
Yang Ruo reacted and had a layer of sweat on his back. He almost...he almost hurt Gu Han.
If he really said it without hesitation, what should Gu Han do, a woman?
On such an occasion, do I want to ruin her reputation?
The more Yang Ruo thought about it, the more scared he became, so that his handsome face was distorted as he forced a smile and shame... He let out a long sigh and changed the sentence in his heart: "I am worried that I will have a headache if I drink too much wine."
Zhang Juling looked around everyone and slowly said, "Don't drink anymore if you are afraid of a headache, it's not a good thing."
As soon as the words came to the ground, he left the seat.
Yang Ruo looked at his friend's back and also used the excuse of drinking too much and wanted to go out for a breath of wind.
The sun is very bright near noon.
The sky also looks very high and clear.
Gu Family Garden is one of the best in Beijing, and the layout of Jiangnan gardens is imitated, with the most exquisite and quiet places.
Yang Ruo left the flower hall, walked casually in the front yard, and stopped in front of a plum blossom forest.
Fence wall, fence door.
Compared with the beautiful places elsewhere, it has a unique flavor.
He looked at the colorful plum blossoms in the garden, pushed open the fence door, and walked in.
The pink petals stand proudly, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky.
Deshun followed from afar and did not dare to go forward to disturb him.
He is the one who serves the young master in person... he knows some of the young masters' thoughts.
"This body is hidden in the ice and snow forest, and the peaches and plums are mixed with the fragrance of the fragrance.
Suddenly, the fragrance burst out overnight, spreading into the world and the spring of thousands of miles."
Yang Ruo’s depression was not just about love but not getting it, thinking but not being able to... and also about his father’s death and the decline of his family.
His empty talk of ideals and ambitions.
“The poem is pretty good.”
I don’t know when, but Xu Pei followed him alone.
"The little marquis laughed."
Yang Ruo turned to look at him: "I didn't write this poem."
Xu Pei said "Yeah", "I know.
This poem was written by Wang Mian, using the plum blossom to express his inner conflicted emotions."
Yang Ruo raised his eyebrows: "Yes."
I thought you hadn't read a book."
"You think it's right."
Xu Pei laughed: "...I just read a few poems with my mother when I was a child."
He looked at Yang Ruo, "You are successful in your youth, and then you will be the third generation to the next... Yuexi, you are an extremely smart person.
Almost everyone who has dealt with you has this feeling…”
"But, how could you fall in love with Zhang Juling's wife?
You know better than me what kind of person Zhang Juling is.
He can climb to such a high position at such an age, and his cruelty and ruthlessness cannot be finished in just one sentence."
He paused: "There is no fragrant grass in the world.
He is now in great honor.
You shouldn't make a fuss."
The Yang family is in decline. If Zhang Juling makes another move, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Yang Ruo was silent for a moment, but he really didn't expect Xu Pei to see through him and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your advice, I understand it all.
There is no intention to have a quarrel with Su Zhi.”
If he hadn't pulled himself just now, it might have caused an irreversible situation.
"……That's good."
Xu Pei waved his hand, "I still have to drink with you, I won't talk to you anymore."
He walked halfway and turned back: "Yang Ruo, are we considered reconciliation?"
Yang Ruo was stunned for a moment, knowing what he meant by reconciliation, and smiled slightly and said firmly: "See."
Although Xu Pei had harmed his father, he also helped the Yang family and helped him a lot...
There is no unchanging person or thing that is changing.
Life always needs to go on, just look forward.
"readily."
Xu Pei raised his hand at him and left with ease.
On this day, until the sun set, Yang Ruo never saw Zhang Juling again.
When he said goodbye and returned to Yang's house, he went to see his third sister.
As the mistress of the Gu family, Yang was welcomed and sent off all day long. He was busy with the sip of water and didn't even bother to take a sip of water.
After finally returning to the house for a while, his own brother came over again.
"What happened?"
Yang looked at Yang Ruo who wanted to speak but stopped, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"No."
Yang Ruo shook his head. He wanted to ask Gu Han how he was doing, but he couldn't ask.
The sister was suspicious, "Just come and see you."
Gu Xia was very happy when he heard that his uncle had come.
Regardless of the girl's obstacle, he straightened up and walked into the house, bowed and bowed: "Good mother, good uncle."
"Look at the sweat..."
Yang Ruo rubbed her hair: "You are a girl's house and don't know any etiquette."
Yang also sighed: "It's not possible to teach every day, and I always don't have a memory."
She took out a veil from the cuff, asked the girl to come over, wiped her sweat on her head, and scolded her: "It's winter, I don't know how to sweat?"
Everyone else is cold, but your body is hot.”
Gu Xia wrinkled his little nose mischievously and talked to his mother: "Fifth sister and sixth sister have all come home, and Xia Jie'er also meets Shun Ge'er and Man Ge'er... Shun Ge'er will call her aunt."
She was excited as she said: "Mother, I'm all my aunt."
Yang's forehead was lit up by the girl: "Silly girl, Brother Shun is the son of your fifth sister. Why don't you call your aunt?"
"I know."
Gu Xia continued: "Brother Man is also cute and tight, and she looks good. I can't bear to let go even if I hold her."
She showed a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets on her wrist to Yang: "Mother, this is given to me by the fifth sister.
Sister Six also gave me a set of gold jewelry."
As he spoke, he asked the close-fitting girl to open the brocade box for Yang to see.
All are excellent good things.
Yang patted the girl's hand: "You sisters have a good relationship, this is a good thing.
We can help each other in the future.”
Several children from the second wife all have a bright future. The two sisters married well, and one brother also passed the Jinshi... They were all thankful for their kindness, and she was also relieved.
It’s worth the subsidy for their third bedroom over the years.
Yang Ruo kept listening to his niece's words, and when he saw Gu Han mentioned, his eyebrows moved: "Xia Jie, Su Wen, your sixth sister has been in poor health. What's going on now?"
"Better than before."
Gu Xia thought for a while and said, "Dr. Han came over to take his pulse, but said it was okay.
It must be fine."
Yang said "Alas", "Jess Han is so pitiful. She was born with weak symptoms. She suffered a lot more than others... Fortunately, she has raised her well in recent years."
Yang Ruo's right hand tightened with the bowl, but stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, it's getting late, I'll go back now."
My mother is alone at home, and I will be worried if I go back late.”
"Um?"
I was fine just now, but I just left.
Yang then remembered that his mother was alone at home, so he nodded: "Be careful on the road.
I went back and told my mother that I would take Sister Xia to the house to see her in a few days."
Yang Ruo said "um" and disappeared in the courtyard in a few steps.
It was dark and the north wind blew.
In the cold winter, the colder the days pass.
During the Chinese New Year, pouring some water on the ground can turn into ice.
On the afternoon of the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, all households were busy.
When you go to the grave, you invite your ancestors to offer sacrifices, steam buns, prepare banquets, fruits and food, etc., to facilitate the cost of New Year's Eve.
Zhang Juling was watching his wife write couplets, but the tree tweeted out, "San Young Master, Lord Yang is here... waiting for you in the study in the front yard."
Zhang Juling narrowed his starry eyes, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and walked down the steps and walked over.
Yang Ruo was sitting in the study drinking tea. When he saw Zhang Juling coming, he stood up and smiled and said, "Shuzhi, I'll give you an early life."
"It's really early enough?"
Zhang Juling looked at him, "Do you have something to ask me for?"
"You said this, I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do..." Yang Ruo smiled and sat on the chair, drinking all the tea in the bowl: "However, I'm here to visit, except to wish you a New Year's greetings."
Zhang Juling didn't say anything.
Yang Ruo knew Zhang Juling's temper very well, and didn't care: "After New Year's Eve, I'm going to go on a study tour.
With his former classmates, heading south, first go to worship Confucius Temple, and then look at the mountains and rivers..." This was something he had thought about for a long time, and he had to do it and had to do it.
Zhang Juling is his good friend and brother who has lived and died together.
But Gu Han is the person he likes.
Fate was a big joke with him, and then forced him to face it.
Time may be the best medicine, wait three years later.
Perhaps, he might even forget Gu Han.
Or maybe, you can meet a suitable girl on the way.
The bamboo planted outside the study is no longer as green as in summer, with branches and leaves drooping and depressing.
"Why is this?"
Zhang Juling smiled and said, "You and I will have a fight between you and me, and I won't be because..." He is a man and will not allow anyone to covet his wife.
Of course, he believed in their relationship more.
Have enough confidence in yourself.
Yang Ruo quickly interrupted him: "It's not just because of that thing.
Once my father dies, I will have to worry for three years. Instead of spending time at home, it is better to go out and gain knowledge."
Zhang Juling looked up at Yang Ruo and found that Yang Ruo was also looking at him.
After a long time, he said, "...If you encounter any difficult things on the way.
Fei Ge sent me a letter."
Yang Ruotao's eyes bent and said solemnly: "If you don't tell me... I will bother you too.
After all, today is different from the past. With the thick thighs like Master Pavilion, who wouldn't hold him or her will be a fool."
Zhang Juling may not forgive him, but his words were sincere.
