Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 1178 Six Dynasties Gold Powder Land, Jinling Emperor State (4)

The mansion is just as in memory.

It's just that the plaque is mottled, and the green embroidered on the brass animal head, which is obviously old, but to him, it looks like a treasure lost in the years.

He goes up the steps.

Su Jiu was not accompanied.

She watched him push the door and enter, the people of Xie's mansion went to the empty building, even the old servants were gone, only the bleak and snowy mansion was left, the bright and empty snow light made people's eyes sour.

Xie Rongjing stepped across the threshold.

"Brother, I'm back."

he whispered.

Su Jiu rubbed his eyes.

In a trance, he seemed to see that young man in fresh clothes and angry horse walking towards his elder brother.

……

This year's Jinling City, snow fell one after another.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Xie Rongjing booked an elegant seat at the Begonia Restaurant in the old courtyard, and invited Xiao Tingchen and Su Jiu to have a dinner there on New Year's Eve.

Before setting off at dusk, Su Jiu sat in front of the makeup mirror and carefully took a look at her makeup.

She wanted to keep filial piety for Xiao Yu, so she wore a relatively plain jacket and skirt, with bright red peonies embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, adding some festiveness to the New Year.

Xiao Tingchen leaned outside the door, folded his arms and smiled at her: "What are you doing, an old acquaintance, dressed so delicately for a meal? You are already old, and Xie Rongjing doesn't like you."

Su Jiu was stupefied.

She picked up the mahogany comb and slammed it heavily at the dumb dog man.

Xiao Tingchen caught it with a smile, strode in, and put the wooden comb back into the dowry.

He took Su Jiu's hand, "If you don't leave, the snowstorm will be severe."

Su Jiu followed him across the threshold, holding her skirt with one hand, and looked up at his profile.

She takes care of herself all the time, so she looks like a young girl in her twenties or eight years.

But Xiao Tingchen didn't even put on powder, but he still looked handsome.

She thought about what he said just now that she was "a little old", and she felt very uncomfortable.

She said softly: "There will always be a day when I will grow old and ugly... Doesn't brother care?"

"You won't be ugly when you are old, but you are a bit ugly when you cry. So don't cry again in the future." The man's tone was casual.

Su Jiu listened, feeling a little angry, and inexplicably sweet.

She pursed her lips and leaned on the man's arm dependently.

Xiao Tingchen lowered his eyes to look at her, feeling a little more calculating in his heart.

Perhaps, he shouldn't continue to eat those peach blossoms that are tainted with poison.

His appearance had to age with her.

When the two arrived at the old courtyard in a carriage, it was completely dark.

The whole old courtyard is brightly lit and full of laughter, and the Begonia Pavilion is even more resplendent.

They boarded the private seats on the fourth floor, the big round table had already been rolled out, and there was even a card table in the corner.

Xie Rongjing had probably just arrived not long ago, and was warming up with a cup of hot tea.

Su Jiu was curious: "There are only three of us, what are we doing with such a big round table?"

Xie Rongjing smiled, "You will know after a while."

While talking, there was a knock on the carved door.

Su Jiu opened the door himself, and the middle-aged man with the medicine box on his back squeezed in with a smile on his face.

He took off the bamboo hat covered with fine snow, "It has been snowing too much these days, and the official road is very difficult to walk, almost delaying New Year's Eve."

It's Wu Lingzhi.

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Aren't you a court judge in Chang'an?"

Wu Lingzhi took the hot ginger soup from Xie Rongjing, "Chang'an is expensive, how can it be as comfortable as Jiangnan? I just want to open a medical clinic in Jinling City to treat diseases and save people, and live a relaxed life." day."

There was another knock on the door outside.

Su Jiu opened the door, and Zhou Fengxian and Mo Shisan squeezed in.

Mo Shisan complained with a black face: "I said the carriage is small, the carriage is small, you insisted on bringing so many things back, making us two big men squeezed together, I'm really mad!"

Zhou Fengxian was aggrieved: "Didn't I go back to Jinling because I was thinking about Xiaojiu, maybe I would miss Chang'an's specialties, so I brought some back? Besides, the wheel you made also takes up a lot of space!"

"What kind of wheels, that's my invention! Two wheels are spliced ​​forward and backward, and then interspersed with iron chains. People sit on it and can step forward. I call it a bicycle!"

"Come on, return the bicycle, I think you look like a bicycle!"

When the two met, it was like dry wood meeting fire, and they quarreled like fire.

But they were really reluctant to tell them to separate.

Classmates and brothers for decades, even quarrels are affectionate.

Su Jiu was full of smiles.

She never expected that these people would come back from Chang'an.

Xiao Tingchen took his seat first and ordered the maid to serve the dishes.

The round table was quickly filled with delicious food and wine.

Anyway, it was Xie Rongjing's treat, so Xiao Tingchen chose the most expensive ones.

Just as the cups were being toasted, there was another knock on the door outside the private seat.

Su Jiu walked over to open the door, and the man standing outside in the bamboo hat and coir raincoat smiled honestly: "You don't know me?"

"Ah?!" Zhou Fengxian lost his voice.

Ah Tan took off the snow-covered bamboo hat and coir raincoat, "I heard that you were going to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, so I rushed here. I have been doing odd jobs in Jinling Academy all these years, thinking that you will come back sooner or later, and someone must watch over you." guard our academy, and guard our Jinling City."

Seeing his vicissitudes, Su Jiu couldn't help crying.

No wonder there are no weeds around Shechang and Huarourou's graves, it must be that Aman is cleaning them up.

The maid added the bowls and chopsticks.

After ten years, the classmates reunited.

The hot wine is dense, and you talk to each other on the table, as if it is more lively than before.

Midnight came quietly, and the moment the new year came, the whole old courtyard and the Qinhuai River were jubilant.

The fireworks outside the window were like buckets, continuously blooming on the pitch-black sky, illuminating the Qinhuai River and most of Jinling City.

Xiao Tingchen raised his glass domineeringly: "Respect to the old man in Jinling, 20 years of heart and soul."

Su Jiu was gentle: "Respect the wind and snow in the old year, and respect the new year in the coming year."

Xie Rongjing laughed loudly: "Respect the year after year, and the original intention remains the same!"

Spirits enter the throat, spicy and bitter.

On the round table, there were still several pairs of empty bowls and chopsticks, as well as fine wine that no one drank.

From outside the window came the soft and ethereal singing of the singers of the Qinhuai River:

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is this eve.

"I want to go back by the wind, but I'm afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows, it seems to be in the world.

"Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, a low-key household, and sleepless nights. There should be no hatred. Why do you want to go farewell?"
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes, and this matter has never been complete in ancient times.

"Nung, moon and new moon……"
