Zixu Changqing

Chapter 13 Returning

The sun rose and set, the clouds gathered and dispersed, from the dawn of the red sun to the light of the stars, when the moon was on the willow branches, Sun Changqing was lying on Wu Zixu's roof, enjoying the shade.

The sound of insects chirping, the night wind blowing.Sun Changqing put his hands on the back of his head, crossed his legs, and let out a sigh: "It's still cool here. I don't know which bastard built the West Court, and even the wind can't blow in."

Wu Zixu lay beside him, and said in a cool tone, "You are a little warrior, what a nice house you want to live in."

This bastard looks like a dog, and he has nothing good to say.Sun Changqing rolled his eyes, but his voice was serious: "It doesn't have to be too good, a white jade bed, a mink blanket, and there is a woman in the room, so I don't think about anything."

Wu Zixu nodded in agreement: "The requirements are too low. If this woman is a stunning beauty, I don't think so."

"That's not necessary." Sun Changqun laughed, and slowly drew a circle with her raised feet: "It doesn't matter if you are beautiful or not, as long as you look pleasing to the eye, and know that cold and hot will hurt people, I am really satisfied." Yes. After all—"

Sun Changqing leisurely: "Don't be too greedy in life."

"You are content and happy."

Wu Zixu raised the corners of his mouth and squinted at the Ying Huo Xing in the east. The star followed its name and emitted a faint light, like a firefly.

Sun Changqing sat up and took off the wine gourd on his waist. This gourd wine was won by betting with others when he first came to Yanling.

Sun Changqing took a sip, smacked his tongue, and handed it over: "Old Wu, try it."

Wu Zixu reached out to take it, shook it, and said with distaste, "So little?"

Sun Changqing bared him: "It's good to drink some, don't be particular about it!"

In normal times, it doesn't matter how much wine there is, but now in Yanling, wine is especially rare.Wu Zixu flashed a smile: "Forget it, I'll save face for you today." He raised his head and drank it, looking very satisfied: "Good wine!"

Sun Changqing glared at him and asked expectantly, "What's the best way?"

Wu Zixu: "The aftertaste is lingering, the taste is straight and clear, and it is a good product in wine."

"Sure enough!"

Sun Changqing was overjoyed. When he took the gourd, he heard the sound of water swaying. He didn't expect that there was still some left in it, so he finished it casually: "This wine is really good. Although it is made from lotus flowers, it has no astringent taste at all. I don't know why. Made."

Wu Zixu smiled and said: "This wine is rare in Yanling, but it's not particularly good. The Lihuabai I brewed myself is three points better than this."

Sun Changqing's heart moved slightly: "Old Wu, when are you leaving?"

Wu Zixu said: "Tomorrow night, I will ask Ji Zi to resign, and I plan to leave early the morning after tomorrow."

Wu Zixu is serious about taking on the role of a pedestrian, and the busyness of this official position is closely related to the seasons. It is very simple. If the season is suitable for the envoys to travel, busy; if it is not suitable, idle.

The envoys of various countries do not have the habit of being abused, so the dog days and the three or nine days are the most idle.

The summer is not over yet, and there are few envoys, but he still has a lot of things to do in promoting iron implements and building a new city. It is long enough to stay in Yanling for half a month.

Sun Changqing was surprised: "Why so fast?"

Wu Zixu: "There are other things to be busy."

Sun Changqing nodded. Wu Zixu has always been responsible and rigorous in doing things, and he pays attention to being prepared. After getting along for half a month, he also understands something.

It's just that although he and Wu Zixu didn't know each other for long, they hit it off right away, with very similar views, insights and temperaments. Before meeting this person, even in Sun Changqing's dreams, he would never have imagined that someone would be so compatible with him.

When I heard that he was going to leave the next day, I felt a little lost.

Wu Zixu smiled and said, "Changqing, I still owe you a drink, why don't you come to Meili with me and taste the wine I brewed myself?"

Sun Changqing was a little moved when he heard the words, he was really reluctant to part with Wu Zixu, the time we spent together was too short, this time we parted, and he didn't know when we would see each other again.

Wu Zixu said again: "If you don't come, forget it. It's just—"

Wu Zixu sighed: "The water for making wine is all the flower dew I picked a little bit by myself, and it has been buried under the pear tree. There were two jars at the beginning, but now there is only one jar left. I just think that good wine should be given to a confidant. If the last jug of wine can be given to you to drink, it will be worth it."

If a friend talks about this, then there is nothing to push!

A burst of pride surged in Sun Changqing's chest: "Okay, I'll go with you and drink your wine when the time comes, so don't feel bad!"

Wu Zixu replied, "It's fine if you drink up!"

Ji Zha was very familiar with government affairs in the court. After Wu Zixu and Sun Changqing asked to resign, Ji Zha immediately agreed, and Wu Zixu also quickly asked to resign the night before, and set off at dawn the next day.

Before leaving, Jizha looked at Zixu with gentle eyes, and said, "Wu Zixu, don't let the past ruin your future life."

Wu Zixu responded politely: "I don't need this sentence."

So Wu Zixu went down the river in a boat and returned to the capital Meili.There are more than a dozen craftsmen who have returned to Meili, as well as the warrior Sun Changqing and the female medical worker Qingling.

Sun Changqing had never been on a boat for such a long time, and he never knew that he was so seasick.Qingling gave him acupuncture along the way, but it didn't work.

"Hic—" Sun Changqing covered his mouth, facing Qingling facelessly.God is pitiful, he feels uncomfortable in his stomach, he doesn't want to eat anything, just forced to eat a little dried millet, and now he hiccups.

Qingling smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll give you an injection and you'll be fine."

She stuck two needles at the Cuanzhu point above Sun Changqing's brow bone. Sun Changqing blinked and waited for a while, but the next hiccup didn't come.

"That's great." Sun Changqing was overjoyed, and praised: "Miss Qing is brilliant."

Qingling packed up the medical box and stood up: "Next time you hiccup, just tap the Cuanzhu acupoint, and that will relieve it too."

Sun Changqing sat up from the couch, feeling weak all over: "Remember, thank you Miss Qing."

Qingling carried the medicine box and left the cabin, and saw Wu Zixu standing alone at the bow, with his back straight, his green clothes fluttering, and his figure very broad and lofty.

What was he thinking about?

Qingling withdrew her gaze, and walked slowly towards the stern, followed by her boat.She walked very slowly, but when she got back to her boat and glanced back secretly, Wu Zixu didn't turn around.

Qingling let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the cabin in frustration.

In a trance, Wu Zixu suddenly felt his eyes fall on him, and looked back, just in time to see Sun Changqing lift the curtain over.

Wu Zixu: "Why did you come out?"

"It's uncomfortable to lie down." Sun Changqing approached lazily, "I see you are out of your mind, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Wu Zixu smelled a strange smell, looked at Sun Changqing, and said with concern, "Seeing that you are haggard, you should go back and sit in the cabin, it will feel better that way."

Sun Changqing was full of sorrow: "I have been in the cabin for two days."

Wu Zixu helped Sun Changqing back to the cabin: "There are not many days left, at this time we should rest well, and don't move around if there is nothing to do."

Sun Changqing tried to struggle: "...let me stand a little longer"

Wu Zixu said seriously, "I can't stand anymore, I'll be even more dizzy if I stand any longer."

Sun Changqing: "..."

Wu Zixu helped Sun Changqing back to the cabin and lay down. Just as he was about to leave, Sun Changqing yelled, "Stop!"

"Huh?" Wu Zixu paused.

Sun Changqing said with a smile, "Brother Zixu, I can't use my strength. You can cut some slices of ginger on the table for me."

This was a very reasonable request, Wu Zixu was dragged back abruptly, went to the table, cut two slices of ginger and handed it over.

Sun Changqing said again: "Brother Zixu, what are you talking about with Jizi? We talked all night?"

This is a very serious question, Wu Zixu replied: "It's nothing, just say that manpower is exhausted, there must be omissions, it is better to complete relevant laws and regulations, so as to take care of more people."

Sun Changqing was full of curiosity: "Can you tell me how to complete it?"

Wu Zixu: "It didn't happen overnight... Changqing, let's talk slowly when you feel better."

Wu Zixu almost finished the last few words, and Sun Changqing said, "Let's talk now..."

Before finishing speaking, Wu Zixu pressed his head and threw him on the couch. Sun Changqing couldn't use his strength, so he beat him a few times, Sun Changqing struggled and smiled, "Stop beating!"

"Brother Zixu, brother Zixu!"

Wu Zixu turned a deaf ear to it, but Sun Changqing blurted out: "Stop beating me, I'm not feeling well, I have it!"

Wu Zixu was startled, and looked at this shameless man: "Really? How many months?"

Sun Changqing smiled: "It's been two months."

Wu Zixu breathed like blue: "Whose bastard?"

Sun Changqing thought: "...yours?"

Wu Zixu: "Fart!"

After arguing for a while, Wu Zixu rubbed his hair into a chicken coop, took his hands away and left.Sun Changqing shouted from behind: "The officials will come again next time!"

Wu Zixu returned to the bow with a smile. The river was surging, the air was clear and clean, and he was in a good mood for a while.
