A cup of turbid wine is a thousand miles away, and the swallows are still unable to return, and the Qiang pipes are covered with frost.

People can't sleep, and the general's white hair and the husband's tears.

——Fan Zhongyan

Zhang Qin bowed and lit the oil lamp, and the yellow fire as big as a bean cast a faint light on his hair.

After several years of separation, the young man in his twenties actually grew white hair. Yun Qi stared at Zhang Qin's premature appearance and couldn't speak for a moment.

The mouse squeaked and rushed over Lan Mo's feet. Lan Mo whispered, picked up the wooden stick in the corner and hit it several times, knocking it into the small hole in the corner.

Tuoba Feng's eyes wandered and he glanced around. A hole was opened in the corner of the roof. Tuoba Feng looked around with his head tilted and saw a shining star in the sky.

Lan Mo moved a small wooden stool, pushed the door open and was discharged from the hospital, sat next to the well railing, knitting yarn in his hand.

Zhang Qin took two tiled bowls, placed them on the greasy table, picked up the pot, and poured some clean water into it. Yunqi saw a layer of oil flowers on the water surface with the oil lamp.

Tuoba Feng said: "Aren't you thirsty?"

Yun Qi shook his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty again."

After Tuoba Feng drank the water, Yunqi had to drink it. The smell of mud and sand in the water was mixed with rancid oil, which made him want to vomit again.

"There are no children yet?" Yun Qi asked with a smile.

Zhang Qin smiled and replied, "No, my father wanted a fat white boy before his death."

Yun Qi calmed down and then said, "Has Mr. Zhang passed away?"

Tuoba Feng said "Yes" and put the bowl on the table: "I heard that your mother is doing well and she has returned to her hometown Shanxi."

Zhang Qin nodded, Yun Qi saw the hollow rice jar in the corner of the wall from the corner of his eyes, and sighed:

"I've been able to deal with these years."

Zhang Qin smiled bitterly and said, "It's all that. He left in a hurry that day. I forgot to thank you for helping you..." As he said that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Tuoba Fengyun.

"Hey, don't!" Yun Qi hurriedly helped Zhang Qin up and said angrily: "Brother, what are you saying?"

Yun Qi briefly explained the current situation of the two. Zhang Qin listened absent-mindedly, and then said, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth. I will take the cow to the market and change the horse to give you two."

"I have money, I just want to buy it..." Yun Qi was about to pay, but Tuoba Feng held Yun Qi with one hand.

Lan Mo's sarcasm came from the courtyard: "The clay Buddha crosses the river, but he still can't eat enough..."

"Shut up the fuck!" Zhang Qin said furiously.

Yun Qi couldn't bear to listen, so he just wanted to spread his sleeves and leave.

Tuoba Feng grabbed Zhang Qin and said seriously: "Don't do this, listen to your wife's words, she is for your own good."

Zhang Qin let out a heavy sigh and said, "Listen to her? She is just farting!"

Zhang Qin shouted to the yard again: "If you don't want to go, get out as soon as possible! Don't follow me, I'll be wronged!"

Yun Qi's compassion almost turned into tears. No one could have imagined that the golden boy and jade girl who had eloped all over the capital had become a slut.

The family's life was barely barred, and the quarrel between the couple's red face and thick neck made Yun Qi feel a sense of despair.

This is Brother Qin'er, who was full of energy and gorgeous clothes back then?

Zhang Qin's face no longer looks heroic. He worked hard outside the border for many years and the oppression of three meals a day has made his skin rough, becoming like an old man, and he bent his back slightly, thinking that it was the result of being often trained by Lan Mo.

Yunqi suddenly felt indescribable regret for the reunion tonight.

Zhang Qin cleaned up the bed and buried his head, "Brother Yun and the boss are in the same shop, rest first, I'll go buy a horse tomorrow."

Yunqi couldn't help but say, "Where are you sleeping?"

Zhang Qin said embarrassedly: "There is still a room in the backyard. I slept there. Don't pay attention to her and let her sit down."

"How can this work!" Yun Qi and Tuoba Feng said angrily at the same time.

Yun Qi stopped Zhang Qin, and Tuoba Feng said to the courtyard again: "My brother and sister, I'm sorry, I'll bother you all night and I'll leave tomorrow."

Lan Mo refused to answer, Yunqi whispered: "Brother, you are trying to make me sleep soundly. We sleep in the backyard, walk, and lead the way."

Seeing Yunqi insisting, Zhang Qin had to take the two of them to the backyard, but there was a woodshed. Zhang Qin sighed again and said, "That's true, my brother, I won't say anything."

Zhang Qin and Yunqi hugged each other. Yunqi couldn't help but look up, touched Zhang Qin's head, and comforted him:

"Taizu died and the emperor succeeded to the throne. After a while, no matter who becomes the emperor, as long as Brother Yun is in power, he will send someone to pick you up the first thing he wants, and he will still be our Jinyiwei... I feel wronged and stay for a few days. Don't quarrel with your wife and live a good life, ah."

Zhang Qin nodded silently, Yun Qi felt a little warm tears beside his neck, and he didn't know what to say. After letting go of Zhang Qin, Tuoba Feng wanted to speak but stopped, as if he wanted to give Zhang Qin some encouragement.

However, Zhang Qin turned around and left.

The woodshed was quiet, leaving Tuoba Feng and Yun Qi.

Tuoba Feng suddenly said, "Senior brother won't scold you in the future, and he won't talk to you in a loud voice."

“…”

Yunqi couldn't laugh and cry: "Don't say stupid things, just go to bed."

Tuoba Feng squatted on the ground, picked up the piece of rag brought by Zhang Qin and shook it, lay down, and obediently stretched out his arm, waiting for Yun to get up and pillow.

They hugged each other tightly, and Lan Mo's sharp curses and Zhang Qin's suppressed sarcasm, but they couldn't sleep at each other.

Yunqi whispered: "My sister didn't do this back then..."

Tuoba Feng turned sideways, looked at Yunqi for a long time, and carefully kissed his eyelashes.

Yun Qi murmured, "That year my father died, and my eldest sister was kicked out of the house... The master's wife asked me to go back quickly... You can go out of the palace with me, do you remember?"

Tuoba Feng said "Yes" and said, "A small cloth bag was thrown out from the general's mansion, and the hairpin fell all over the floor with a jingle."

Yun Qi said, "I still remember her crying while picking up the things on the ground. She was so fucking evil. She was too young at that time and didn't know what she was crying. Now I feel so painful when I think about it."

"My brother-in-law was still an idle prince at that time. He wandered around in the capital every day, without any errands or salary. The prince saved two taels of silver a month, saved four years, and filled all the rituals for his father and bought coffins. He was so poor that he had no children... If you want to say it is poor or embarrassing, he is actually quite similar to Brother Qin."

"The eldest sister was going to pawn gold hairpin jewelry, but she was stopped by her brother-in-law. He went to the Ministry of Works to pay the next month's money, bought us two handfuls of braised candy, and then took her to the Baxianlouhai for a meal before delivering it to the palace gate."

Yunqi sighed and said, "How much is your money?"

Tuoba Feng said mutely: "There is no more son."

Yun Qi's voice almost grew octave higher, and he said angrily: "Spend money indiscriminately! I've spent it there!"

Tuoba Feng said anxiously: "When you sleep, you put it in your wallet, and there were no random flowers. It was seven months, fourteen taels of silver, plus fat... Last time I sold the pig 17 as a woman's ten taels, and that ten taels were silver notes. Originally, I only had five taels to ask him to give the cash silver, and the war was in chaos for a while... "

Yun Qi touched his side, touched his purse, and suddenly realized: "I said why has it become heavier."

Tuoba Feng said: "How much do you give him?"

Yun Qi said, "Let's give it to him. I'll hide under his pillow so as not to hurt his feelings."

Tuoba Feng was relieved and nodded.

The two of them fell asleep at ease.

I had no dreams all night, which was the most peaceful night when Tuoba Feng escaped from the capital.

It was noon at sunset, and the sun shone in from outside the woodshed and poured on Yunqi's sleeping face. He opened his eyes and covered his body with a piece of rag.

Tuoba Feng had already stood up and washed the clothes of the two of them and hung them.

The sun is bright in the northwest, and the outer robes hanging on two bamboo poles float gently, and the sleeves are flying, as if they are about to hug each other involuntarily.

Tuoba Feng was bare-shirting and was practicing Tai Chi intently: "You go and have breakfast, I've eaten it."

Yun Qi looked at Tuoba Feng's scarred back and smiled: "You're so embarrassed, just wear a pair of trousers and sit in the same room with his wife."

Tuoba Feng said in surprise: "Isn't she married?"

Yun Qizhi's usual thinking was: If a person becomes a relative, he will have no gender. So he was too lazy to tell him, knocked on the windowsill and smiled and said, "My brother and sister, can you please ask for some food?"

Lan Mo's mood seemed to be a little better than last night, and replied, "There is nothing good for the poor family, I'm sorry Brother Yun." Then he opened the back window and handed out a bowl and a plate.

The side dishes of Qingpong were just right in Yunqi's appetite. Yunqi ate while chatting with Lan Mo, and suddenly said, "Where is this place?"

Lan Mo replied: "The boundaries of the two states of Dening, and then heading northwest, will be Xiliang Prefecture."

Yun Qi fixed his chopsticks on his lips and said, "Xiliang Prefecture? General Rong Kang's jurisdiction?"

Lan Mo said: "Yes... My father had a good relationship with General Rong back then... Isn't his son just that? He worked in the same court as you. At that time, Rong Mansion..."

Lan Mo's tone was sighing, full of unconcealed yearning, but Yun Qi was thinking about another thing.

Lan Mo suddenly threw away the work in his hand, turned around and went to the corner to vomit. Tuoba Feng was startled and said, "You are fine, brother and sister."

Yun Qi pondered at his own thoughts and said, "Rongqing's father?"

"My brother and sister, I'm upset." Yun Qi finished drinking the porridge for a few sips and said to the room: "I think of the way, so I'll leave now, so as not to drag you down."

Lan Mo held the wooden basin and vomited for a moment. Hearing Yun Qi's words, his face pale and he didn't care about wiping the corners of his mouth. He hurriedly ran to open the back door and said anxiously:

"How is this happening? Where are the elder brother going? Zhang Qin went to the market early in the morning. After calculating the time, it's time to come back. You must not leave! Wait a little longer and have lunch before talking about it."

Yun Qi was about to say something, but Tuoba Feng had understood the meaning and interrupted: "If you want to find General Rong, don't be in a hurry. Wait until he comes back and sue someone before going."

Yunqi had to nod perfunctorily. Lan Mo felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. His hand trembled slightly when he closed the door and was caught by a sharp-eyed Yunqi.

Lan Mo returned to the room and stopped saying a word. Tuoba Feng secretly stuffed his wallet into the pane, pulled the curtain and tucked it, and whispered: "This is enough for them to buy several cows."
