Chapter 516: Ginkgo

Cui Fei came back to her senses, and then she avoided under the eaves and stood far away, not daring to look at Li Jingpei.

Li Jingpei stared at the top of her head, thoughtful: "Which maid are you?"

"The slave is the one who serves the king of Huai'an. But our county gentleman is about to marry a widow. The dragonfly bowed her head and replied carefully.

Li Jingpei raised his eyebrows: "It's actually Xin Yi's person?"

"Childe knows my girl?" Cui Dragonfly was slightly happy, just looked up at Li Jingpei, but blushed inexplicably, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Li Jingpei couldn't cry or laugh: "Childe, don't you know the dragon on my clothes, don't you understand what it means?"

"Oh, this is a dragon! It's called the Big Water Snake in our village!"

Li Jingpei became more and more amused: "You are not from Chang'an?"

"I'm from Toyoshu. Last year, the flood of the big river washed away our village, and my father and mother were lost halfway, and I wandered to Beijing alone. It was Miss Xin who kindly took me in, so she has been serving the girl. Emerald Dragonfly's eyes were open, and she said seriously.

"The big river is flooding, my father and mother are gone?" Li Jingpei noticed that he was speechless, a little embarrassed, and turned his head away and stopped talking.

The rain roared, the green tiles tinkled, and the two fell into stagnation again.

Li Jingpei was still looking at the ginkgo on the horse wall, and the green dragonfly followed Li Jingpei's line of sight and looked at the ginkgo with curiosity (Note 1)

"Does Childe like Gongsun Tree very much?" (Note 2)

"Gongsun Shu, do you say this ginkgo?" Li Jingpei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, his eyes waved, "I can't say I like it." But this is the mother...... No, my mother gave me the badge, so I paid more attention than the others. ”

"How good Gongsun Shu is! It's a good sign!" Cui Dragonfly smiled, her voice as clear as a bell, "Childe has a good mother!"

Unexpectedly, Li Jingpei trembled, his eyes lost focus in an instant, and he said wildly: "Okay...... Mother?"

The dragonfly didn't notice the abnormality, and her smile became more and more bright: "Yes, although it is not as brilliant as the dome of other trees, it is not easy to fall, and no matter how big the disaster is, it can survive for a long time!

Li Jingpei pursed his lips, and thousands of thoughts surged in his heart, and finally surged to his face, only to turn into a touch of coldness between his eyebrows: "Yes, I have several brothers, two of them are the best, a third brother with a golden-winged bird as a seal, and a fourth brother with a nine-fold cloud as a seal, what a majestic thing." I am the only one who is a tree in the corner of the yard......"

"Then there is the courtyard in the corner, it is also given to you by your mother!" Cui Fei interrupted Li Jingpei, her eyebrows and eyes pure, "If you have always thought that the tree is lowly, then you have been wrong to blame your mother, how can you really understand this intention?"

It seems to be an ordinary tree, a mother's prayer, and a long-lasting worldly mind.

Li Jingpei intuitively struck a bell and hit the spiritual platform in an instant, and even his heartbeat seemed to stand still at that moment.

The ginkgo fan moved, the rain hit the flowers and fell, and the woman was vaguely surprised.

"The slave is a rough person, and she doesn't dare to assert why the son's mother gave the son ginkgo. But why doesn't Childe try to understand his mother's intentions, his mother's position, and his mother's reasons and past. ”

Cui Fei paused, and her smile was like the spring water on Yuquan Mountain, so clear that it did not cause dust in the world, but it contained a sword intent that split the mist.

"Mothers are also mortals, there will be favoritism, there will be foolishness, there will be hatred and thoughts. ”

Li Jingpei took a few steps back, his eyes widened in disbelief, his mind was blank for a moment, countless past events, obsessive old dreams, all flashed in front of his eyes.

He had heard the proverbs of the elders of the Three Dynasties Pavilion and the scriptures of the Supreme Buddha, but he never felt that the words of this country girl at this moment were half thrilling.

It's obviously rude words, it's big vernacular, but it has the power to breathe people's hearts, and there is no escape from teaching all hypocrisy in this world.

Sure enough, the firewood, rice, oil and salt are the most standing Buddhas.

Li Jingpei's heart was hot, his eyes turned red silently, and he trembled: "Why...... Tell me these ......."

Cui Dragonfly raised her head, and smiled: "Because Childe reminds me of my mother's mother...... On the way to escape, I had a younger brother who was swept down by the waves, and the current was too fast, and it was obvious that the gods could not save him, and the people around him persuaded him...... But my mother, thinking about what kind of inheritance, went crazy and wanted to jump down to save him...... As a result, neither of them came back...... I was standing on the shore at the time, but she left me... I'll be left alone from now on..."

Li Jingpei's chest was stuffy, and his voice was hoarse to the extreme: "You...... Don't you hate your mother......"

"Hate, start hating. Cui Dragonfly's tone was a little unsteady, and she snorted sharply, "But then I thought, my mother, is a big rough person, a rough person who can eat Confucius's portrait rolls and flatbreads." ”

Cui Lan bit her lower lip, held back the tears that suddenly came up, and burst into a smile: "A bowl of water is difficult to level, and the gods are not easy to do." She will naturally have selfish preferences, pressure from her father's family, and perhaps some unwillingness to be a woman in this life. She has shed no less tears than I have. ”

The green dragon bit her lower lip red, and finally couldn't help it, and a tear rolled down: "At least, I'm alive now." This heart, flesh, and torso that is still beating are all given by my mother. After hating, I am still grateful to God for making her my mother in this life. ”

Thank you God for making you my mother.

Not perfect, but the most unique mother.

In this life, the best mother.

Li Jingpei's heart was desolate, he suddenly remembered the countless sleepless long nights of the queen, countless times with the only goose hairpin left, washing his face with tears, countless times in a low voice in front of Wang Jian, twenty-four years after marrying into the emperor's family without a smile.

He never seemed to have tried to understand, his mother.

Maybe he missed it, the best mother in this life.

Li Jingpei's pupils suddenly contracted. He turned sharply, broke into the rain, and leaned against the low wall of horses, and bent slightly, staggering into the distance.

It's just that his steps are unsteady, and his back is hesitant, like a child who has not woken up from a nightmare.

"Childe, it's still raining!It's not too late to wait for the rain to stop!" Cuifei wiped away her tears and hurriedly got up and exclaimed.

Li Jingpei didn't look back, just leaned against the wall, walking alone in the rain, and a faint voice came: "Your name is ...... What's the name......"

"Emerald dragonfly!" Emerald Dragonfly raised her voice, and for some reason, looking at the departing back, her heart tingled.

“…… Remember, my name is Li Jingpei, Tianjia Li, wind and rain...... Emperor Zhao ......"

The rain suddenly increased, and the back of the man was annihilated, and it seemed that he could hear the cry in the rain curtain, but it was disrupted by the sound of the rain in a blink of an eye.

Under the eaves, there was only one green dragonfly. She stretched out her hand and caught a drop of rain, and the cold temperature seemed to spread to her heart through the palm of her hand.

She suddenly felt that this rain had written the ending for her life at that moment.

exegesis

1 Ginkgo: From the Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the ginkgo biloba was called "Pingzhong", and the poet Shen Yan in the early years of the Tang Dynasty wrote the sentence "Fangcao Pingzhong Green, and the early night Zigui cried", which shows that the Tang Dynasty also called Ginkgo biloba Pingzhong, and after the Tang Dynasty, there were also called ginkgo biloba "duck feet", all because the leaves of the ginkgo biloba resemble duck paws, because of the name duck feet. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the subjects paid tribute to the emperor with Pingzhong, and the Song Emperor greatly appreciated it, because its shape resembled apricots, and the seed shell was as white as silver, so he was given the name "Ginkgo", and Pingzhong was renamed "Ginkgo" from then on. Here the novel is needed, not delved into detail.

2 Gongsun tree: Ginkgo biloba is also known as "Gongsun tree", which means that the ginkgo tree grows slowly, but its life span is very long. Therefore, ginkgo biloba is also called Gongsun tree.
