piece?
Leaving the sullen young man in place, Shen Mu turned around and left without saying a word.
Xiao Fan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyes with a hint of frustration; just as he was about to stand up, he heard the sound of distant footsteps approaching again.
"Give me your hand."
Before the consciousness could react, Xiao Fan first instinctively passed his hand over, looked down at Shen Mu's long and thin white jade fingertips, smeared the medicine, and gently circled the slightly swollen area of his right wrist, moving slowly and focusing on it .
Only Shen Mu continued, his voice was not fluctuating as usual, "Xiao Fan, don't get hurt again."
"Otherwise I really can't help but get angry with you."
Shen Mu only felt that Xiao Fan had given Xiao Fan all his life's patience. He didn't know where the young man's inexplicable question came from, so he took deep breaths repeatedly to calm his emotions, "As for the relationship His Majesty mentioned, I just want to say."
Looking up at Xiao Fan's black eyes, Shen Mu's voice was soft but firm, "No one will worry about a whole night because of a chess piece being injured."
"No one would be so angry that he could curse at someone because a chess piece was injured."
Xiao Fan was taken aback for a moment, and almost subconsciously grabbed Shen Mu's slender wrist, with a hint of urgency in his tone, "Then Yafu was worried about Gu because—"
"No," Shen Mu held his breath in his heart, interrupted with a flat expression, and with the other hand opened Xiao Fan's fingers one by one, smiling politely, "Because the late emperor specially entrusted His Majesty to the minister before his death. "
"Your Majesty grew up under the watchful eyes of the minister." Shen Mu felt that his whole body was filled with the radiance of love from his father, "How can I not feel heartbroken when you are hurt?"
"..."
Gritting his back teeth lightly, Xiao Fan felt sullen and had nowhere to vent, "It turns out that Father Ya only treats Gu as a junior."
"I don't dare, it's just that His Majesty said it himself." The metacarpal joints were still in pain, and Shen Mu spread the last bit of ointment evenly, "We are political enemies, monarchs and ministers, and a relationship of playing and manipulating. "
Xiao Fan: "... Gu Na is asking a question."
"Oh yes, I don't believe it."
Worrying about the final confirmation of the wounds on both eyes, Shen Mu turned around to leave with the medicine jar in hand, the sound of a chair scraping against the wooden floor came from behind, the young man's tall body leaned close to him, his strong forearms encircled him, Almost close to his ear, he murmured dissatisfiedly, "It's not right just now, I shouldn't be angry with you."
"But Shen Zinian, don't treat me like a child."
"Otherwise, one day, you will definitely regret it."
When the two came to the front hall, they found that Granny Tian was already waiting. They immediately smiled when they saw Xiao Fan, but instead of beckoning people over as usual, they stood up with the wooden chair and waited for Shen Mu and Xiao Fan to sit down before sitting down again. Down.
Shen Mu briefly talked with the old man about the evening arrangement, and habitually turned his head to ask Xiao Fan's opinion; but the young man kept looking down at the medicated wrist, and called twice before agreeing.
"I can do it, Zi Nian and Grandma can figure it out."
Looking between the two of them several times, Granny Tian suddenly shook her head and sighed, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your troubles, but unfortunately, the old woman's leg hurts so much today that she may not be able to go out."
"Otherwise, Mr. Shen and Xiao... you two go together?"
The familiar matching tone, but the old man's cautious tone made Shen Mu frowned, and Xiao Fan beside him responded lightly without any surprise.
Ah Qing was obviously the most excited person in the room. Seeing that Shen Mu had not given up on his plan to go out, his round eyes blinked with excitement: "It is said that there will be a comet passing by tonight. Wishing is very effective!"
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't stop looking out.
Jing Wen, who came from the front hall, was holding a stack of memorials in his hands. In order not to be seen by the old man, he could only stand behind the stone pillar, and met Ah Qing's radiant eyes.
"Mr. Shen, tell the old lady the truth." After Xiao Fan returned to the house to deal with political affairs, Granny Tian deliberately left Shen Mu behind, and asked in a low voice when she saw no one around, "Are you and Xiao Fan really friends? "
The fingertips under the long sleeve paused, Shen Mu felt that the old man was a little strange recently, and asked tentatively, "Why did Grandma suddenly ask this?"
"It's nothing, nothing," the old man waved his hands again and again, and sighed after thinking for a moment, "I just think he's always away from home, and I'm afraid you might mind."
"..."
Hearing the cautiousness and eagerness in the old man's tone, Shen Mu couldn't say a word of denial, and finally could only deal with it vaguely, and after carefully helping him back to the room, he went to find Xiao Fan.
The two adults were discussing government affairs in the room, and Ah Qing consciously closed the door, walked out along the corridor and looked around; after searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone, his face was slumped in frustration with.
The sound of pigeons flapping their wings suddenly sounded from the eaves. Ah Qing was startled, and quickly raised her head to look diagonally upwards.
The young man with broad shoulders and narrow waist was lazily lying on his back on the eaves, with the green sword casually placed by his hand, just in a position where he could observe every move around the bedroom.
Being glanced at by someone, Ah Qing hurriedly blushed, twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with both hands, and asked softly, "What are you doing up there?"
Jing Yan sat up straight, put his right hand casually on his bent leg, picked up a small bag of kraft paper beside him with his right hand, and said expressionlessly, "Eat candy."
Xiao Fan spent the whole afternoon reviewing the memorial in his room, without saying a few words during the whole process.
At first, Shen Mu was too embarrassed to rest by himself, but later seeing that Xiao Fan didn't even have time to raise his head, he picked up a volume from the bookshelf, and went directly to lie down on the recliner by the window.
The warm sunlight slanted into the house, Shen Mu looked at the hand-painted drawings full of landscapes and seascapes in his hand, and his heart moved slightly.
Except for the previous two rushes to the medicine formation, he has never even seen the world outside the capital, and he lives a two-point and one-line life in the palace every day.
Ben is a person who likes to be close to nature, so he naturally wants to see the beautiful landscapes on the scrolls one by one.
"What is Yafu looking at, so happy?"
Shen Mu was watching intently, and didn't notice when Xiao Fan appeared behind him; put down the scroll and stood up, Shen Mu saw that it was still early, and suggested that Xiao Fan should rest for a while before returning to the palace.
"Going back to the palace? Didn't you mean to go to the river?" The young man frowned, his face was a little tired, but his black eyes were still dark and bright, "Yafu clearly promised that he would go out of the palace and set off lanterns after finishing the political affairs. "
The tone is serious, like a child who can't wait to beg someone for candy after finishing his homework desperately.
Amused by his absurd idea, Shen Mu went out of the house to order Ah Qing to prepare the carriage; then Jing Wen entered the house, picked up the two stacks of memorials and prepared to take them back to the palace, and asked at the same time,
"Several ministers are meeting in front of the imperial study, whether His Majesty wants to go back to the palace first—"
"Tell those people to come back tomorrow." When Xiao Fan raised his head again, his eyes were already heavy, and he couldn't find the shadow of Dao just now, "I don't see anyone today."
As night fell, the last rays of the setting sun slanted into the sky. When Shen and Xiao went out in casual clothes, small merchants had already set up shops at their respective stalls, and nearby residents also walked out of their homes one after another, dragging their families out to celebrate.
Ah Qing always likes to be playful, and he was so suffocated in the palace on weekdays that he finally went out for a visit, looking left and right, so he couldn't take it easy; Shen Mu saw that he was as excited as a rabbit, and told him to go back to the mansion as soon as possible Let him go to play by himself.
In addition to Jing Fan, the three people who were not interested in novelty could only wander around in various ways; there were more and more people on the street, and after a while, the group began to move slowly along the flow of people/flow, and finally reached a crowded place cross street.
The place is overcrowded, and there are chattering exclamations from time to time. Taking advantage of his height, Shen Mu can barely see a thin young man in the center of the crowd. He is sitting cross-legged on the back of a wooden chair, holding a charcoal pen, and is struggling to write paint.
Standing in front of the man was a loving young couple. The plainly dressed couple seemed unfit to express their love in public. Even though the people around them kept booing, the simple and honest young man only dared to put his arm around his wife's shoulders. His wheat-colored skin glowed. red.
The man's hand speed was extremely fast, but with a wave of his hand, he picked up a charcoal drawing and handed it to the couple. Although the charcoal drawing was not as fine as the fine brushwork of ink and wash, the charm of the outline of the eyebrows and eyes of the characters was fully reflected. It drew a burst of admiration from the surrounding people.
Shen Mu watched with relish.
He naturally knew that this was a simple sketch portrait, but in this dynasty, to see charcoal pens and such westernized art, the painter must have traveled to many places.
He suddenly knew what this man looked like.
Judging from his attire, the painter should not be short of money, but after collecting ten cents from the couple, the man carefully selected among the crowd, and slowly turned around amidst waves of volunteers. over body.
Seeing this person's appearance, Shen Mu and Xiao Fan at the side were both stunned by coincidence, with a trace of surprise in their eyes.
Isn't this...Chu Pingting?
The girl disguised herself as a man, and added a beard to cover her face. When she bumped into Shen Mu and the two of them, she was startled. Then Shui Lingling's big eyes rolled, and she rushed to the two of them through the crowd. Intentionally lowering the voice:
"The two young masters look so pretty, do you want to draw one too?"
Regardless of their dignified identities, Shen Mu and Xiao Fan can win the hearts of many little girls with just their appearances; and the feeling of broken sleeves is really common in Daqi, and the two handsome young men who are traveling together happen to be black As soon as Bai, the crowd who joined in the fun burst into cheers when they saw this.
Just as Shen Mu was about to wave his hand to refuse, someone grabbed his wrist, and was pulled all the way to the center of the crowd.
Chu Pingting tilted her head with a smile, "You two don't need to be too nervous, just be casual."
Just like the young couple, the people around them started booing loudly at the same time:
"Both young masters, get closer!"
"Yes, yes! Why are you more shy than the pair just now!"
"Hey! The tall one in black! You can't stand so far away!"
The familiar sandalwood scent came from the tip of his nose, Shen Mu subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at the person, but Xiao Fan took a step forward and gently held his shoulders to prevent him from moving, and whispered softly, "Don't turn around."
"......I am nervous."
With their backs touching their chests, Shen Mu could even vaguely hear Xiao Fan's heartbeat pounding violently. He clearly felt that the young man was extremely stiff at this moment, and even the hand on his shoulder was stiff and motionless.
Throughout history, the portraits left by a generation of monarchs to future generations are naturally indispensable. Now it is just a public painting, and it should be prepared in advance for the future.
"Don't be nervous." Patting that hand reassuringly, Shen Mu encouraged softly, "Believe in yourself, you can do it."
There was a hint of surprise and hesitation in the voice next to my ear, "Then...do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe—"
Shen Mu only discovered today that he is actually very talented in guiding people; before he finished speaking, the stiff hand on his shoulder suddenly became flexible, quickly and accurately wrapped his arms around his waist, and then effortlessly Go forward.
Staggering half a step, Shen Mu just raised his head, Xiao Fan's face with profound features suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes.
Then he carefully and extremely gently placed a gentle and warm kiss on Shen Mu's forehead.
