Epilogue (2) People should be in pairs

  ?

  As Ah Wu took a big step forward to welcome that young man, the young man stepped out of the crowd with strides as swift as wind and soon arrived at Ah Wu's side.

  Abu took a step forward, just about to bow, when suddenly the young man turned his head and stared at him fixedly.

  After a glance, the young man mischievously blinked his eyes and suddenly said: "Is your husband's surname Xiao Mo? You are someone by his side, named Ah Wu. Ah Wu, am I right?"

  Can't help but say, the young man's words were too sudden and direct, Ah Wu didn't dare to believe. To Ah Wu who had just opened his big mouth, the young man pursed his lips and said lightly: "Your master has been in Hangzhou for more than half a month, I know he is not surprised."

  Isn't it strange? How can it not be strange? Ah Wu stared at the young man in front of him, who seemed to have everything under control, with eyes wide as cowbells.

  The young man seemed uninterested in talking to him, he cupped his hands and slowly said: "The Gao residence is just on the left alley, go forward two hundred steps and turn left fifty steps to enter. A real man born into this world, how can there be so many things you want to do but don't dare to do? Ah Wu, in my opinion, your Xiaolang can completely visit with a big smile, seeing old friends, my parents will only have joy."

  As he spoke, the young man walked straight past Ah Wu and took a few steps forward before stopping in his tracks and turning back to say: "By the way, Su, the official from Sui State who is in charge of laws and regulations, also brought two good friends to Jiankang Street. They should arrive in Hangzhou around tomorrow. I wonder if General Xiao would be interested in meeting them?"

  After grandly inviting Xiao Mo, the young man hummed a tune and continued walking forward.

  After walking for a while, the young man stopped and glanced back at a corner, then pretended to wipe away tears and said with extreme sadness: "There's a saying that goes 'lonely yin does not give birth, solitary yang does not grow', people are meant to be in pairs, geese are meant to fly in formation. Alas, alas. Heaven gave me life, it must know that I worry about the world and want me to bring salvation to all people."

  Cheng Shi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but mutter, "You're obviously the son of the Duke and Duchess, what does this have to do with Guan Cangtian?"

  He was stirred up by him, and the young man turned back to glare at him. However, he soon looked towards that corner again, raised his head, and said in a melancholic tone: "Cheng Shu, call that little girl over."

  The youth referred to was a young girl standing in the corner not far away, staring blankly at Xiao Mo who was buying wine in the tavern.

  That girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and beautiful face, revealing a few hints of English spirit. In this southern land, she wore the boots that northern girls liked. Her long and straight legs, as well as the short sword hidden at her slender waist, could all tell that this girl was not one to be trifled with. Yet her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes gazed at Xiao Mo with a mixture of sadness and deep affection, as if just looking from afar was enough for her.

  Regarding this girl who was also in Hangzhou City for over half a month, just like Xiao Mo. Cheng Shi also knew about it. He nodded and walked towards the girl with big strides.

  Before long, the girl came over.

  Xiao Mo sat in the wine house, staring blankly at Ah Wu's statement. As he listened, he saw a familiar face of a girl and a boy whispering to her. He frowned and said in a low voice: "What is he doing?"

  Xiao Mo smiled wryly and said, "He's so clear about me, but I know nothing about him. It's a terrible feeling. Ah Shi, go gather information on what this young master from the Gao family has been up to."

  "Yes."

  As soon as Ah Shi walked away, Xiao Mo turned his head and saw that the girl who was always quietly following him had listened to the young man's words, bitten her lip, and then took a step in his direction.

  What is that rascal doing!

  Xiao Mo was extremely vigilant, his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he took a big gulp of wine.

  Before long, the girl entered the wine house. There were over a hundred diners in the wine house, with people coming and going constantly, but her eyes only saw one person.

  Dazedly staring at Xiao Mo, the young girl bit her lip and mustered up the courage to come before him.

  Lowering her head to look at Xiao Mo, before he could even open his mouth, the young girl's face turned red as she loudly said: "Xiao Lang, I've come to find you." At this moment, it was exactly noon, when customers were coming and going, and the tavern was at its most bustling. Even with the surrounding noise being so loud, the girl's voice was surprisingly not small, and it clearly overpowered all the other sounds.

  Just as Xiao Mo was about to say something unpleasant, the blushing girl, ignoring the gazes from all around, loudly said to Xiao Mo: "Xiao Lang, A Yin is delighted in you. For three years now, A Yin has been infatuated with you and followed you for three years! In these three years, A Yin chased after you from Jingzhou to Jiankang, and then from Jiankang to Hangzhou."

  In a clear and crisp, loud voice, she said up to here, the girl A Yin suddenly turned red around her eyes, and her voice also weakened abruptly. She lowered her head, choking with sobs, saying: "Xiao Lang, don't ignore me. A Yin doesn't know what it means to love because of appearance, nor does she know what it means to be sad because of love. A Yin only knows that if she can't see Xiao Lang, this life will only have sorrow! Among thousands and millions of people, there is only one Xiao Lang! Even if A Yin dies tomorrow, even if A Yin's life is destined to be lonely, A Yin feels that only being with Xiao Lang is true happiness!"

  A drop by drop of round tears, in the sunlight drawn out colorful stripes, slowly splashing on the table...

  This is Chen Guo, this is Hangzhou.

  For thousands of years, there have been many talented scholars and beautiful women in the south, literati and poets, who are full of sorrows and emotions, with a multitude of worries.

  For thousands of years, there have been plenty of lovesick men and resentful women, but not a single girl has dared to openly present her own lovesick heart in front of everyone to a man.

  The words are full of resentment and grievance, moving heaven with their emotions.

  Unbeknownst to me, among the diners around us, there were actually those with red-rimmed eyes.

  Unconsciously, many people have been looking at Xiao Mo with pleading eyes, asking him to give some response to this lovesick and pitiful girl.

  If it is said that Jiangnan has many talented scholars, then Xiao Mo, as a member of this aristocratic family, is also one of them.

  He never thought that one day, there would be someone who would say it so bluntly and foolishly in front of him, in front of everyone, what was on her mind.

  How ridiculous!

  Suddenly, Xiao Mo felt a kind of suffocating pain!

  He slowly raised his head.

  For a moment, Xiao Mo stared at A Yin without blinking, his lips moved slightly, and then moved again, but no sound came out.

  After a while, he said in a low voice: "Don't stand there, come and pour me some wine."

  He beckoned her to come closer! He finally stopped rejecting her from afar!

  A Yin lifted her head in disbelief, her eyes red as she stared foolishly at Xiao Mo. Only when she was certain she wasn't mishearing did she joyfully and tremblingly reply: "Good."

  She nodded at him with a smile, her eyes red-rimmed, gazing at him happily and replied foolishly: "Good."

  She wanted to smile, but as soon as she showed her face, it was a string of tears again. Afraid that Xiao Mo would dislike her, A Yin hastily pulled out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears in a hurry before carefully walking over to Xiao Mo's side.

  Just standing beside him, A Yin smiled, and this smile was like the clouds breaking through the moon, with a radiant glow that was too beautiful to be described.

  Looking at the couple sitting together, Cheng Shi couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it was Young Master who had a way with words and brought this lovely couple together."

  The young man smiled with satisfaction at the words, and was just about to say something when he heard a sudden rush of footsteps coming from afar. He turned his head to look, and it was two guards from the High Manor hurrying over in haste.

  Two guards rushed to the young man's front, bowed their hands and panted: "Young master, the lady is coming, she is very angry, and ordered the maids to bring the teaching stone."

  This is the son-disciplining stone, created by Zhang Gui. It's actually just a stone slab with countless small protrusions the size of beehives, which can cause unbearable pain to those kneeling on it, even if that child has exceptional martial arts skills.

  As soon as the guard's voice fell, the young man's self-satisfied smile stiffened.

  Seeing him hastily retreating, another guard said: "The lord has also given orders. He said that if the young master knows his mistakes and honestly returns to the mansion, it's fine; otherwise, he will seal off the city gate and make it difficult for the young master to fly."

  At this point, the young man stuttered and asked, "What's the point of them being so angry with each other?" He was indignant and frustrated. "I'm their only son, born to them! This time when I returned to Qi, I even erected a monument in front of my father's tomb. Just for the inscription on that monument, I invited four famous scholars and spent hundreds of taels of gold, taking half a year to complete it. Do you know that on the day we placed the stone monument in front of the tomb, the people of Qi cried so miserably? The scene of tens of thousands of people wailing together was enough to bring tears to heaven itself! Have you ever seen such a filial son as me? Have you? I suppose not?"

  As soon as the words came out, several pairs of eyes looked at the young man with a mixture of helplessness and depression. Cheng Shu took a step forward and reminded him carefully: "Young master, isn't it your actions in Zhou's place that have been passed on to Hangzhou...
