Chapter 26

It seems as if the wind has passed through the peach forest, and the spring is green in the south of the Yangtze River. This taboo sweetness makes Lu Jingyun's heart tremble. He was thinking about it secretly, but he heard the sound of a few servants running around outside the tree, and he rushed his fingers in a panic. He came out from the back of the hall.

When the servants saw him, they said that when they were unloading the goods at the back door, they saw something slipping in. It might be Huang Daxian. Now the housekeeper is calling for him. Don't let it run into the backyard and startle the wives. When he arrived, he asked him if he had seen it.

Lu Jingyun shook his head in denial, and after helping him for a while, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and seeing that the time was almost there, he went back to the front yard and brought the hot shepherd's purse dumplings from the kitchen to Xu Jiangmian. Looking up at the courtyard, Xu Jiangmian was still standing in front of the piano, waiting, with gauze iodine in his hand.

"Where did you go?" Xu Jiangmian waited for a long time, but there was a trace of sullenness, but he didn't break out. He pulled him into the room and asked him to put the dumplings down first, "Today you are injured, so don't do the other work. Now, give me your hand."

Lu Jingyun let him smear iodine on himself, and when he saw Xu Jiangmian's nervous look, he couldn't help but pulled the corner of his mouth. This was a pain that couldn't be lighter for him - when he was in Ludi, because of his mother's affairs, he was arrested. The adults on that street were sneering and humiliating, and those children were powerful. Although they were not his opponents, they could team up to bully him. His forehead was swollen like an egg, and his knees and elbows fell. It's broken... Compared to the hole in my hand today, it's really nothing...

Seeing that he was still smiling, Xu Jiangmian felt distressed and angry. He couldn't help but put down the half-wrapped gauze and said, "It's okay, you don't care, I'll be busy with you." I sat down at the table to eat dumplings, and listened to the movement behind me while I ate.

Seeing that he was really angry, Lu Jingyun panicked in his heart. He stood up, only to think that it was neither to leave nor to stay. After thinking about the words for a long time, he whispered to his sitting back, "Second Young Master, You think for me, I am grateful... It's just that some things have been delayed, don't be angry. "

Yuan Zhao, why don't you call me by my first name...Xu Jiangmian knows that he doesn't like words, and his temperament is arrogant. It's not easy to say such soft words, but he still has new expectations. The two were separated by an invisible wall, which made him gamble in his heart.

"Can you not call me young master?" Xu Jiangmian hesitated for a long time before turning his head and said. When he saw the empty room, he realized that Lu Jingyun had quietly left the room before he could respond.

This fool! Xu Jiangmian couldn't eat any more, so he picked up a copy of "New Moon", got up and walked to the bed on the shelf, pulled down the tent, and hid inside to read a magazine.

Recently, there was a flood in Huainan. According to a reporter from Crescent Moon, people in various counties were displaced and the government was slow to act, resulting in the damage of large tracts of fertile fields and the destruction of houses. The reporter criticized the incompetence of the troops of the South Soviet government in an exaggerated and angry tone. as.

Looking at this way of writing, it is probably a political struggle between the parties. Xu Jiangmian gave this manuscript a characterization in his heart, and out of curiosity, he went to look up the topographic map of Huainan area, and read some other newspaper reports... He couldn't find out the truth, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He thought that if his father and the others went to Jiangnan again in the future, they should ask about the real situation, and then ask Butler Zhou to buy some southern newspapers to have a look.

Spring afternoons are the most sleepy, Xu Jiangmian fell asleep in the tent, and when he woke up, the slanting sun was already low, reflecting on his quilt through the thin window screen, the shadow of the hanging orchid bamboo by the window. He also printed it in a staggered way. He heard the gurgling sound of water outside the window. He thought it was the housekeeper calling someone to add water to the pond, but the more he listened, the more wrong he felt. The rippling and clear sound of water seemed to surround his house. In the room, he smelled the aroma of algae and wet mud, and even heard the koi jumping and swimming around the house... Xu Jiangmian opened the curtain and walked out of the house. He saw the tall and thin boy standing by the side of the house. He put away the white water pipe, and his blue clothes were soaked through his body, showing the outline of a healthy and straight back. The sweat on his forehead was crystal clear, and the brilliant sunset shrouded him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Jiangmian. Jun Yi's face was a little red, he moved his lower lip slightly, wanting to say something, then silently lowered his eyes and only pointed to the front.

Xu Jiangmian walked in front of him, looked at the side of his house, and couldn't help being stunned. Before that, Lu Jingyun had dug a deep trench between the house wall and the courtyard wall, and it was surrounded by bricks. He said it was to plant some flowers and plants and put some It was used for the emergency water tank, but it was full of water at this time, and some fish in the pond were touched. A tiny wooden boat was rippling with the microwave, and the pear flowers were leaning against the wall, and some rustling fell In the water, the warm wind blew some sweet fragrance, and he was almost intoxicated by the smell. Just looking at this corner, it had the charm of a Suzhou mountain pond, but the waterway was half narrower than there.

"Yuanzhao you..." Xu Jiangmian was so happy that he almost burst into tears. He knew why Lu Jingyun put so much effort into doing this. When he was reading a book before, he had inadvertently said that he liked water, like boats, and wanted to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Venice, Italy... What he said inadvertently, he didn't want him to remember...

"The boat is a little smaller, and it's only big enough for you to lie down. Go up and try it?" Knowing that he liked it, Lu Jingyun urged him to get on the boat.

"You and I sit on each other, that's enough." Xu Jiangmian took his hand lightly, carefully avoiding the wound on his finger, "You do this, my father and housekeeper Zhou agree?"

"It's just this section of the waterway, and it doesn't affect others. Besides, they can make you happy. They don't have any opinion." Lu Jingyun let him hold hands, and after a while of silence, he said, "Although it's wrong for your father to imprison you, he does love you. of."

Xu Jiangmian didn't say a word, he just turned to one side and stepped on the boat. Although the two of them were young, they were not low in stature. It was a little crowded in this boat, so the two pairs of long legs could only be overlapped and scattered. Next to each other, Xu Jiangmian picked up the oar and rowed twice, then rowed the boat to the back of the house. A magpie jumped from the eaves to the courtyard wall, and through the bottle-shaped black-edged leaking window, he could see the abundant tender willows. Ya, Lu Jingyun didn't cut off the original bamboo poles, and the boat made a slight "squeak" sound as it rubbed past.

At this time, the world seemed to be extremely quiet. Looking up at the narrow blue sky, the floating clouds drifted slowly, and the water waves under them swelled and spilled onto their arms and clothes from time to time. The yellow koi quickly moved Adapting to the new environment, wandering freely beside him...Xu Jiangmian glanced at Lu Jingyun, and only said softly, Yuan Zhao, thank you, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Why are you crying, I saw you were angry, and I poured water today to make you happy." Lu Jingyun leaned over to wipe his tears, but didn't want Xu Jiangmian to raise his body too, buried his head in his arms, and put his arms in his arms. Clutching tightly around his waist, Lu Jingyun was stunned for a long time, and he didn't dare to hug Xu Jiangmian's shoulders... At this time, he smelled the fragrance of the grass and trees on the boy's body again, and his breathing was involuntarily rapid.

"Will you be my brother? Don't call me second young master..." Xu Jiangmian said with a little pleading, his voice was gentle and choked, even if a hard-hearted person listened to it, his heart would soften.

"It's not good... There is a difference between honor and inferiority, and the rules and etiquette are broken... What should I do if I ask your father to hear it?" Why didn't Lu Jingyun want to hear him call him brother, and he didn't know how long he remembered his words in front of the stable that day... But since he cared about him, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, how could he dare to promise like this.

"Do you care about this person of high and low rank?" Xu Jiangmian raised his head from his arms and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "If you are such a person, I will never be your friend."

Lu Jingyun was speechless, his heart was higher than the sky, but all the compromises in this yard were for the sake of his grandmother and for Xu Jiangmian not to be hurt.

"I know that you are an eagle that can fly out of this courtyard wall. Should I be treated as a canary and kept in this cage?" Xu Jiangmian reluctantly let go of his clothes, "Yuan Zhao Brother, the first time we went to Songjiang, I told you about my distress. Although you have not responded positively, I think you are a smart person and should understand... I know that you take care of your grandmother, and you will not You have fallen into unfilial piety, but if one day these obstacles are gone, I hope..."

Xu Jiangmian didn't say any more, but Lu Jingyun already understood what he meant. An emotion surged in his heart, which made it difficult for him to control himself, so he leaned forward and embraced Xu Jiangmian's shoulder, "I will, don't worry. "He never makes promises easily, and since he responded at this time, he has made up his mind to do his best for him.

"I want to go to university... I don't know if I can pass the exam with the level of 'illiterate' in my private school. Brother Yuanzhao, do you want to join the army?"

Lu Jingyun withdrew and looked at him in surprise. He didn't remember that he had made this wish to him.

Xu Jiangmian was still a little nostalgic for his warm chest, so he was embarrassed to lean on him again, looking at him in surprise, because he said, "I know your expectations if you like to read those books... Besides, your appearance and temperament should have been expected in ancient times. He is a character like Zhou Gongjin."

Lu Jingyun couldn't help but smile slightly, his handsome brows seemed to be covered with warmth, "It's too prestigious."

When Xu Jiangmian looked at him, he remembered the words: Thinking of Gongjin's time when Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, she was majestic. Feather fan and scarf, in chatting and laughing, the ashes vanished...

When he thought about it, his heart suddenly became sour again, what kind of woman would his "Xiao Qiao" from brother Yuanzhao be? Thinking about it, it must be shrewd fish and geese, elegant and charming. This must have happened many years later. He refused to think about it any more, but some pictures couldn't help but appear in his mind... Such a warm embrace, such a thoughtful mind , I'm afraid he won't be able to appreciate it anymore... When he remembered the affection and admiration of the maids in the yard for Lu Jingyun, he didn't know what it was like until he finished dinner and lay in the tent to sleep. The mood is still going on... Xu Jiangmian suddenly felt that he was a little hypocritical, but when he thought about the future, he still felt a lot of sadness, and he seemed to be inseparable from him.

Xu Jiangmian put on his clothes and got up, and burned the soothing sandalwood in front of the stove. He habitually looked out the window. The light in the front room where Lu Jingyun lived had been turned off. He turned to look at his empty bed. Dao, it would be great if he could come to my room to live in... But how could he say this, he was also secretly surprised. In the past few years, he wished that the servants would not come in and give himself a quiet and undisturbed study space, How can I be separated from him for a while now, like a hundred ants eating my heart...

Xu Jiangmian read some books at the table before falling asleep. When he was about to get up, he realized that Lu Jingyun had left the blue jacket in his room when he was leaving at night. Xu Jiangmian hesitated for a while, then he took his jacket into his arms, walked to the bed, covered him with the jacket as a quilt, and gradually fell asleep.

After sleeping for a while, he heard a movement at the door, and was about to sit up when Lu Jingyun walked into the room, naked, showing a strong chest and back, opened the curtain and smiled when he saw him, "Why are you covering my clothes?"

Xu Jiangmian was so ashamed, he hurriedly defended, "My quilt is too thick, and it's hot at night. Help me change it tomorrow."

Lu Jingyun nodded, but didn't leave. Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled his hand up. Xu Jiangmian felt that his hand was a little wet. He looked down and saw that Lu Jingyun's wound was bleeding again. He didn't say anything, he just touched his thigh, and then scratched his cheek lightly...Xu Jiangmian felt itchy so much that the hairs all over his body stood up, but it was unexpectedly comfortable, he seemed to remember that he had secretly seen Some chapters of the ancient opera, what is "entering Hong Kong", what is "stealing jade and blowing flute"... When he came back to his senses and saw that Lu Jingyun's hand was still there, he felt that his whole body was getting hot, and then he wanted to take a break from Lu Jingyun. His hand went to look for the chamber pot, but he couldn't find it. In the end, his body became hot, and Xu Jiangmian woke up suddenly.

The young master is also grown up, hahaha
