The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 721 Leave
Zhao Huhu called him into the Buddhist hall.

There was a piece of sandalwood stuck in the incense burner, and white smoke was curling up. Zhao Huxu was sitting cross-legged in front of the small table, serving tea.

Seeing him coming, Zhao Huxu motioned for him to sit down and then handed him a cup of tea.

When he took the tea, he felt the aroma overflowing.

"My husband taught me how to divide tea."

Zhao Fox took a sip and said calmly:
"Tea has three flavors, one is strong, one is flat, and one is light. Tea floats, tea sinks, tea warms, tea cools, tea is strong, tea is light. They are all tastes, and you have to taste them to know them."

He looked at Zhao Fox, who had wrinkles accumulating at the corners of his eyes.

"It's like when you play the piano, the joy and anger in the piano can only be appreciated after listening to it completely. I'm sorry, Chengfeng, you have been by my side for three years, and I haven't finished listening to a single piece of music."

Zhao Fox glanced at the envelope on the table.

"Here is my recommendation letter. There is a vacancy in Liangzhou. If you are interested, go and experience the officialdom."

Liangzhou is the closest province to his hometown, and Zhao Fox's actions shocked him.

"Why help me?"

"You shouldn't just be a luthier."

He pushed the envelope back, "I'm not interested in being an official."

"Don't you dare!"

"Is there anything else that I, Dong Chengfeng, don't dare to do?"

He thought he was leaving anyway, and Zhao Huhu didn't dare to do anything to him. "I think the people and things there are dirty."

Zhao Huxu picked up the envelope and tore it hard.

"It can be seen that there is no such thing as an untamed wild horse in this world. After being trapped for three years, he no longer has the courage to come out of the cage. The violinist who played with the Tan brothers and sisters is dead."

"What nonsense?"

Dong Chengfeng hated it when others brought up this issue, "Rewrite a letter and Grandpa Dong will report it right now!"

"I can rewrite it, but I have to make a request."

Three years later, the fox still likes to play this trick.

"Tell me, what's your request?"

"I heard that you and Dr. Shen get along very well."

Dong Chengfeng's eyes suddenly became wary, "What... do you mean?"

"If she is in trouble in the future, please help her. This is what I ask."

Dong Chengfeng was excited: "What difficulties can she have?"

"I'm just planning ahead."

"You are the crown prince. There is nothing to prepare for before it rains. In a few years from now, the world will be yours."

“Before you seek victory, seek defeat first.”

Zhao Fox took a sip of tea: "Don't you understand this?"

not understand!
Your tone sounds like you want to drive her out of the Prince's Mansion.

Dong Chengfeng mustered up his courage and said, "Old fox, do you know she..."

"Chengfeng."

Zhao Huxu interrupted him: "It's getting late, go ahead, I won't see you off tomorrow, and we'll never see you again!"

At this time, Xiao Ze pushed the door open and came in, making a gesture of invitation.

He walked out of the yard in a daze, and when he turned the corner, he grabbed Xiao Ze's hand:
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Tell me the truth. Does your master know about Shen Duruo..."

“Mind your own business and stop minding other people’s business.”

Xiao Ze spoke for the first time: "I'll see you off tomorrow morning."

Without waiting for the next day, he packed up that night, said hello to Xiao Ze, and went to Shen Duruo's small house in the capital in the dark.

In the three years since he came to Beijing, he had never even left the gate of the Prince's Mansion. He couldn't tell the east, west, and west of the capital, and it took him a full hour to find him.

Shen Duruo was shocked when he saw him, "Don't you just leave tomorrow?"

"I can't let you go. Come and have a look. I'll sleep here tonight."

He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Cherish this night, maybe we won't see you again in the future."

Shen Duruo led him into the house and pointed to a pile of herbs on the ground.

"I'm giving you some medicine. Just take it with you just in case." "What's the use? You'll have to finish it all."

He said with a playful smile: "I'll take you with me just in case."

"Don't be rude."

She glared at him, "Have you had dinner?"

"No, what do you have to eat here?"

"There's no fire in this house."

"Just in time, I'll drive it for once."

He untied one of the bundles, which was full of lettuce brought from the prince's palace, and a jar of rice wine he brewed himself.

"Let's make four dishes and one soup, and you can try my cooking skills."

We need to start the fire, but there is no firewood in the kitchen.

By the time Shen Duruo went to his neighbor's house next door to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt, he had already cut and washed the vegetables and cleaned the pot.

Make a fire, put the oil in the pan, swing the shovel...

When they were in the mountains, he cooked all the meals for the master and the apprentice. The master often said that he was originally a cook but was kidnapped to play the piano.

Four dishes and one soup were put on the table. Shen Duruo picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a few glasses of wine, he spoke.

"Shen Duruo, come with me to the Qinhuai River. I'll play the piano while you treat the doctor. Let's make money from the rich people in Jinling Mansion. How about that?"

Shen Duruo: "It's a joke, but you should take it seriously."

"really."

As long as it's your words, I'll take them seriously.

"There is my father and my mother in the capital, and there are so many things that I can't even put them down."

The one I can’t let go of the most is him!

"Didn't you tell me that your greatest wish in this life is to see the scenery of the world and cure all diseases in the world? If you don't like Jinling Mansion, let's find another place."

Shen Duruo shook his head.

"After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

She still shook her head.

He patted the table lightly and smiled deliberately: "You... don't have anyone you care about anymore, right?"

The expression on Shen Duruo's face was very subtle. He pursed his lips and said softly after a long while:
"Have it!"

Shen Duruo only said these two words to him, and he didn't ask any more questions.

That night, they just sat there, talking about the past and the future, and slowly drank a jar of wine. "

When the wine is gone, it's dawn.

She walked him to the alley.

He reached out and rubbed her head for the first time, "Du Ruo, goodbye."

She smiled at him and said, "Chengfeng, I'll see you again."

hope so!
He smiled back and turned to leave.

"I didn't look back, but I could notice that there was a line of sight following me behind me. Just like many years ago, when I followed my master, my mother chased him out and watched him off from a distance."

Dong Chengfeng took a deep breath.

"People on the Qinhuai River say that I am like a wild horse, and no one can contain my heart. Do you want to contain your heart? No. As soon as she stops there, my heart naturally goes away.

Unfortunately, she doesn't want to.

Later, I went to Liangzhou and relied on Zhao Huhu's relationship to become a moderate official. I was as busy as anything every day, but I would wake up at night for no reason.

When I wake up, I can't sleep. I think about her, Zhao Huhu, and whether she has become one of his many concubines.

As I thought about it, I suddenly felt that those three years were like a dream.

When I woke up from the dream, my heart was empty. "

There was a sense of desolation in these words, which made Yan Sanhe feel sad.

"So, when you left the capital, you didn't know how far the relationship between the two of them had developed?"
