little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 221
If there is a barrier between people's hearts, it can be as high as a mountain and unfathomable as the sea. No matter how good the wine is, no matter how delicious the food is, it will be completely tasteless in your mouth.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao, who came in a hurry after hearing the news, played around, Fan Chengxiu and Zhao Shizhen, friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, finally held on to the end of the meal.

This meal can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the host and guest are not happy at all.

Until the end of the meal, Fan Chengxiu's gloomy face barely had a gleam of sunshine, and he said to the worried Mrs. Zhao: "There are a lot of nagging today, and if you offend me, please don't blame me, Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Although she didn't know why the two were arguing, Mrs. Zhao knew that the elegant Mr. Fan in front of her was indeed a good friend of your husband's who talked about it from time to time over the years, so she quickly replied politely: "My lord said that, but my husband has a bad temper. Dryness, often offending people, please respect the friendship between the general manager, don't be offended."

An acquaintance with the general manager brought back the old things in his heart, and his eyes turned to Zhao Shizhen who was standing aside. Fan Chengxiu hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a light sigh, turned and left.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Zhao Fu, it's still raining outside, hurry up and get the car, and take Mr. Fan out."

Zhao Fu was the one who knocked on the door just now to ask questions. Seeing the mistress speaking, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully led Fan Chengxiu.However, he suddenly realized that Master Fan was walking so fast, without touching the ground, that Zhao Fu almost jogged after him, completely bewildered.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Shizhen kept his face dark and did not speak, a pair of brows almost twisted into knots between his foreheads.

Looking at the backs of the two going away until they turned a corner and disappeared, Mrs. Zhao, who withdrew her gaze, put her hands on her hips, opened her eyes wide, and shouted, "Say, what's going on!"

A lion's roar made Zhao Shizhen, who had been dazed in a daze, tremble all over his body, suddenly remembered something, stomped his feet, and pushed away Mrs. Zhao who was standing in front of him with wide-eyed eyes, and ran away in an instant out.

Mrs. Zhao stomped her feet angrily: "Old man, if you run away so much that the monk can't escape the temple, if you don't explain clearly to my old lady when you come back, I won't be able to deal with you later!"

Standing in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, he realized that it was raining at some time, and the rain was densely entangled like countless threads, and fell on the ground with a soft, swishing sound.

Zhao Fu took a careful look at his face, panting, and said, "My lord, wait for a while, and I'll go get you a car." After speaking, he handed him the umbrella in his hand, Fan Chengxiu nodded, and Zhao Fu hurried down to get ready do not mention.

The raindrops turned into raindrops, hitting the open umbrella surface with a bit of noise.

Looking up to the sky and looking at the continuous drizzle, Fan Chengxiu felt that her mood at this moment was just like this weather, indescribably gloomy and depressed.

After this rain, the weather in the capital should be hotter, but it is estimated that Liaodong has just started spring at this moment. Thinking of Liaodong, Fan Chengxiu's eyes are gray... This matter is completely messed up, and I did not pull Zhao Shizhen When he arrived in Liaodong, he could use various reasons to push back in front of Li Chengliang, but Fan Chengxiu knew that no matter what he said, after this incident, he would be labeled as a useless person in Li Chengliang's eyes.After all, conditions exist objectively, but everything is possible. Those who cannot complete the task are incompetent. Any reason is equivalent to an excuse. In one word, there is nothing wrong with it: explanation is to cover up.

Fan Chengxiu, who was standing in the wind and rain, suddenly shuddered when he thought of the growing smoldering anger in Li Chengliang's eyes since the New Year.

Thinking of this, Fan Chengxiu, who was dying of remorse, raised his hand and gave himself a big mouth, and let out a heavy hey. He originally asked for this job to avoid Li Chengliang, but he didn't expect that this time, he was smart enough to see what he had seen. It became a self-inflicted disaster.

Thinking of all the situations after returning to Liaodong, Fan Chengxiu's heart was like rolling in a frying pan. Distraught, he casually threw the umbrella in his hand to the ground, and instead of waiting for a carriage, he stepped into the rain and left. .

When Zhao Fu appeared in the coir raincoat and the carriage, he found that there was no one at the gate.

When he was in a daze, there was the sound of footsteps from behind, and he turned around to see his master running over in a hurry, grabbed Zhao Fu, and shouted anxiously, "...where is that guy?" Sweep around.

Zhao Fu didn't dare to lie, and told the truth about the situation just now. Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shizhen's eyes had already seen the oil-paper umbrella rolling around in the rain, and there was still something he didn't understand. He hated it. After stomping his feet a few times, he pushed Zhao Fu away, turned around and rushed into the rain.

The rain was thin and dense. At first it was like the gentle hand of a sympathizer, but after a while it was soaked all over. Fan Chengxiu, who had been shivering because of the cold, suddenly remembered a joke: rainy days, days when guests stay, days when no one stays Ah...Looking up at the sky, the rain didn't seem to stop at all, and suddenly heard an angry cry from behind: "Fan Chengxiu, you fucking stop!"

Hearing the voice, Fan Chengxiu turned around in astonishment, and saw a figure rushing out of the rain curtain, soaked like a soaked chicken like himself, it was Zhao Shizhen, the dead enemy who broke up unhappy just now.

By this time, Zhao Shizhen had already chased him up, his beard and hair were washed by the rain and stuck to his face, and he was in an indescribably embarrassed state.The two stared at each other for a while, like fighting cocks, and suddenly each pointed their fingers at each other and burst out laughing. The cheerful and joyful laughter spread far and wide in the rainy long street. The unhappiness and depression of this night, All disappeared in this smile.

"Hey, this is for you!"

Zhao Shizhen, who stopped laughing, didn't talk nonsense, reached out and took out an oiled paper package from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Fan Chengxiu's hand.

"You old man, we have only met once in ten years, why make it so awkward. We met once today, and I don't know if we will meet again next time. The friendship we grew up with cannot just be broken like this!" I don't know if it was because of the weather, but Zhao Shizhen's tone became quite sentimental.

Fan Chengxiu felt inexplicably sour in his heart, "It's me who made it difficult for others. You are right. Anything can be broken, but our brotherhood cannot be broken."

For a moment, the haze in my heart dissipated, and the whole person became suddenly enlightened. He weighed the things in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why, you feel sorry for me, do you want to send me a bank note?"

"If I didn't have the banknotes you often bring over these years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live until now." Zhao Shizhen gave him a pale look, restraining Fan Chengxiu who wanted to open the oiled paper, "So, don't dream Yes, there is no silver ticket, let’s see what’s in it when we get back.”

What he said made Fan Chengxiu laugh out loud, very happy.

Zhao Shizhen suddenly said seriously: "Old Fan, after today's farewell, I have something from my heart to give you."

When Fan Chengxiu heard him confide in his heart, he was quite moved: "Speak up if you have something to say, I'll listen, don't be too pretentious."

"Although I have been unsuccessful for a long time, at least I have been in the court for so many years. For a long time, I have seen and heard a lot. You have made countless achievements with that Uncle Li these years. You have a rich family and blessings. Zhu Zi, since the Wanli Dynasty, it is really rare! But cooking oil with a strong fire is a good scene, but I heard that he ran amok in Liaodong, and the officials and censors were often impeached. If it was the emperor in the past, it would be fine, but Now Prince Shengming..." At this point, Zhao Shizhen had nothing to say, and finally sighed: "You...you have to be more careful when you follow him."

Although it is not so pleasing to the ear, Fan Chengxiu can tell the difference between good and bad words. There is no trace of worry on the old friend's face. He knows that Zhao Shizhen is really worried about himself. Flying into a few drops of rain, I felt a little sore for a moment, turned my head quickly, wiped my face with my sleeve randomly, and muttered: "What the hell is this weather, the rain keeps falling..."

Turning around, he forced a smile, and jokingly said: "Don't worry about me, let's take care of you first, go back and prepare to kneel on the washboard."

Zhao Shizhen glared at him bitterly: "It's not all your fault."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Wen Xin was in their hearts.

At this time, there was a sound of hoofbeats, but it was Zhao Fu who came galloping with several family members and a carriage.

Until Fan Chengxiu got into the carriage, Zhao Shizhen stood motionless in the rain, and Zhao Fu held an umbrella beside him with a disturbed expression on his face.

Fan Chengxiu, who put down the curtain of the car, felt sore and uncomfortable, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and opened the oil-paper bag casually... After only one glance, he couldn't hold back in an instant, tears came rushing down like money, ruthlessly He pulled the curtains of the car hard, and howled at the rain curtain that had long made it impossible to see people clearly: "Zhao Shizhen...you old bastard is not a human!"

Turning around and hugging the piece of paper, I burst into tears. The first three words on the piece of paper are eye-catching: Xunlei Gun.

On the same rainy night, everyone's heart is very different.God doesn't care about these things, he only cares about his own emotions and wantonly venting.

The raindrops hit the bluestone long street, washing away the thick dust, revealing the solid road surface glistening with water.

Gu Xiancheng walked forward aimlessly, step by step slowly and firmly, as if there were memories in every step.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of his eyes, and Gu Xianqian's footsteps finally stopped...

As if feeling something, he raised his head, and a figure as straight as a sword stood in front of him.

A pair of eyes are like cold stars shining in the dark night sky, but now they are full of murderous aura. After a moment of hesitation, Gu Xiancheng recognized these eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "He sent you here?" His tone was a little surprised, a little disconcerted Believe it, everything turned into nature in the end... Sure enough, he still refused to let himself go, Gu Xiancheng laughed, and his face became mocking: "Please young master Ye He to have a good time!"

Hearing what he said, Ye He's eyebrows frowned, and his voice, soaked in snow and melting ice, was extremely cold: "I'm not here to kill you, I'm just here to ask you something."

The eyes that were originally closed slowly opened at this moment, and the expression became a little puzzled: "I have told His Royal Highness what I should say, I wonder if Young Master Ye He has anything else to do?"

Ye He's expression was obviously hesitant, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Xiancheng stared at him strangely, "Young master?"

Ye He exhaled, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes dissipated: "Let me ask you, did you give her the red pill in Concubine Zheng's hand?"

When the word Hongwan was mentioned, it seemed as if an iron red wire entered from the top of the head and pierced out from the heart. The feeling of unbearable pain piercing into the bone marrow made his face a little fierce and hideous at the moment, and he was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled Said: "... If I were you, I would just turn around and leave, and never mind this matter again."

The rain that hadn't stopped all night finally showed signs of slowing down at this moment, but Gu Xiancheng's strange tone, which seemed to be pointed and full of deep meaning, fell into Ye He's ears, like a thunderbolt ringing in his ears, thrilling He lost his voice and said, "What do you mean?"

Contrary to the slump just now, Gu Xiancheng's eyes sparkled, and he smiled proudly: "What else can you say about me, little brother?"

To Ye He, a little junior brother is like being punched hard in the chest. Ye He, who was a little dazed for a moment, couldn't help but staggered back a few steps. His face was inexplicably shocked, and he stared at him with wide-eyed shock. Gu Xiancheng.

"Eldest brother, it really is you!"

In the middle of the night, a voice came from both vicissitudes and surprises, but the meaning of joy and joy in it was sincere.

"I did not meet the wrong person on the night of Shangyuan Festival this year, it was you!"
