old friends return

How many years ago was that? 20 years ago or 19 years ago?

Xiao Changfeng Hanchuang studied hard for decades.

The so-called spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

On the day when the imperial examinations were released that year, the weather was very good, the sky was blue and clear, and people felt refreshed, the grass was green and the flowers were fragrant, and the wind was soft and sunny. Xiao Changfeng felt that Shengjing on that day was really more prosperous and beautiful than ever before.

Maybe the weather on that day was not as good, or it was a different day, but in Xiao Changfeng's memory, this moment was like this.

The tall horse, the number one scholar in the red robe, in an unprecedented way, was envious of everyone on the bustling streets of Shengjing.

He thought he could go and marry his bride.It's justifiable.

If you get the honor and fame in the exam, you will return with both the gifted scholar and the beautiful woman, and life is enough.

But this seems to be a law, the poor boy and the lady from the famous family, no matter how happy the two are, they are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, and there is never a possibility of being together.

She was given a marriage and became the queen of a country.

He is the champion of the new division, but he has not been reused.But Xiao Changfeng still stayed in the imperial court and in Shengjing. He always felt that as long as he got closer slowly, there would always be a chance to meet again.

One day three years later, it snowed in Shengjing in July.

A decree is like a bolt from the blue.

The Lin family collapsed completely.

Empress Lin Wanxuan was found to be having an affair with others, and the harem was filthy and thrown into limbo. The prince was also imprisoned and lived with the proton sent by the barbarians.

Xiao Changfeng received a letter.

The queen is innocent, it's just a bureau set up by the front court and the harem.

The child is innocent, the mother died, the father was eccentric, and he suffered a lot at a young age.

In the letter, he begged him to take good care of the prince who was unable to protect himself.

He resigned from office.

Originally, the eyes were fine, but when I woke up suddenly one day, a thick layer of cloud formed on the eyes, and after it was cleaned up, the eye was completely blind.

When Xiao Changfeng talked about this, he chuckled, "Perhaps God opened my eyes. From then on, I switched to fortune-telling."

"In fact, although Cheng Muzhi's fate is hard, he is a good one. He met you, and he was his noble person."

It is always not so pleasant to bring up old things again. When the story of this chapter is turned over, the pot of old wine has bottomed out.Reopened a jar of wine, but the mouth was muddy.

Xiao Changfeng seemed to be drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

When Liu Qingyan looked at him again, his temples were gray, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeply cut into the skin, and there were many gray-brown age spots on his cheeks.That blind eye was a horror.

But this person was also a handsome young man 20 years ago, if there was no such accident, he would be more romantic.

You see, this story is such a cliché.Talented scholars and beautiful ladies are always on their own side, how many innocent people are always involved in the court and harem.

The clichéd story is still so sad.

Because the things that were supposed to be extremely beautiful were abruptly destroyed and placed in front of you.

The more tragic, the more dramatic.

Liu Qingyan got up, helped Xiao Changfeng back into the house, carefully took off his robe and covered him with a thin quilt.

And have a good dream.

All stories often have such a tacky beginning.You see, the Lin family was ruined, and the Yan family was in power. Back then, he entered the palace to accompany the prince, but 17 years later, the Liu family was gone.

The situation between him and Cheng Mu was also in an embarrassing situation.What is a step back?What's next?No one knows, and no one can know.

Mu Zhi, I'm not in a hurry to do something.I'm just afraid that if I don't do something, it will be too late to help you.

Liu Qingyan walked out of the alley, it was almost dusk.

He didn't notice that he had been sitting in the room with Xiao Changfeng all afternoon.

Liu Qingyan's depressed mood became calmer.Walk through the long street and arrive at the bustling street in Shengjing.

At this time, the sky slowly darkened, and the lights began to come on.After all, it is the imperial city, before the Qiqiao Festival, it has already begun to slowly become lively.Along the way, there are more and more novelty gadgets selling lanterns and gold, silver, jewelry, silk handkerchiefs.

Liu Qingyan stopped beside the wonton shop by the small bridge.

"Boss, here is a bowl of wontons. Put more chili oil, no green onions, no coriander, more balsamic vinegar and more dried shrimps."

"Okay, the guest officer will wait for you to sit first!" The boss is still a couple of old people three years ago.

Liu Qingyan was stunned suddenly, some things have changed, but some things have always been there.

Suddenly there was a familiar voice with a bit of chill in the night, "Boss, add another bowl of wontons, everything."

Liu Qingyan watched Cheng Muzhi sit down opposite her.

Suddenly Liu Qingyan felt a little embarrassed.Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind and I finally spoke, "Why is Your Highness coming out to eat wontons on the street so late?"

Cheng Muzhi smiled, and asked without answering, "Isn't Yan Shangshu the same? Isn't the dinner in Shangshu's mansion delicious?"

Liu Qingyan nodded, then shook his head again, "It's delicious, the steward of the Shangshu Mansion cooks first-class soup, didn't the prince try it last time?"

Liu Qingyan was smiling, and her mood became better and better. It seemed that she was very happy to meet Cheng Muzhi tonight. "Your official just heard that the wontons here are very famous, so I came here just because of the name."

Seeing his answer, Cheng Muzhi also nodded, "The old man in the palace also liked the wontons from this store, and he suddenly wanted to eat them today, and he came here just after he came out of the palace. It's a coincidence."

After speaking, he smiled inexplicably.

Liu Qingyan held the teacup in his hands and kept silent. He kept saying that he was an old friend. Didn't he force himself to admit that he was Liu Qingyan?Now I am in the mood to play this specious superficial game with myself.

Not long after, two bowls of hot wontons were served.

"Tell me, is this called wonton or Chaoshou?" Cheng Muzhi was chewing on a wonton, and he was so hot that he breathed out.

"Perhaps these two are the same thing. Huh—hey, why did you grab my wonton?" Liu Qingyan scooped up a wonton and was blowing hot air, but Cheng Muzhi suddenly stretched his neck and swallowed it in one gulp.

Cheng Muzhi's eyes sparkled, "Eat it and see what it tastes like if you add more vinegar."

While speaking, he generously picked one from his own bowl and put it to Liu Qingyan's mouth.

Liu Qingyan glared at him, then turned her head to protect her bowl.

Inexplicably more childish, he took the vinegar bottle next to him and poured a lot into Cheng Muzhi's bowl.

Cheng Muzhi shook his head with a smile, "Ah Yan..."

Liu Qingyan was shocked. Has it been a long time since he was called that?

Still, it's been a long time since he called himself in such a cheerful tone.

Liu Qingyan answered him.

"Mu Zhi..."

"Father asked me to go to Cangzhou with you." Cheng Muzhi said suddenly.

Liu Qingyan's hand holding the spoon to drink the soup paused slightly, "Isn't this in the original plan?"

"Yes." Cheng Muzhi nodded, "It's much easier than I imagined."
