Chapter Ninety-Six: Meeting is Reunion
Jiang Chengzi replied "intuition", and naturally he didn't tell the truth. But she thought that since Yang Chen had said that he wanted to know everything about her, should he tell himself that he was Li Ke, the current third prince?
thought that he might be Li Ke, the person who had traveled through time and space, and absurdly occupied her heart with just a few lines of words in historical classics. Jiang Chengzi was unexpectedly very nervous, as nervous as he was when he was dealing with a group of vicious drug dealers in the first jungle battle. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, a little numb in her grip. The whole person stood there quietly, waiting for the handsome young man with a picturesque face to answer.
He pursed his lips and exhaled softly, before he said slowly: "Regarding my identity, I can't reveal it to you today. ”
Jiang Chengzi heard him say this, although he was very disappointed, but he was unconsciously relieved.
In fact, when Jiang Chengzi learned that she came to the early Tang Dynasty and was in the same time and space as Li Ke, she knew that according to her obsession and character, she would meet Li Ke sooner or later, even if she didn't have a chance, she would create an opportunity.
But she never thought that she would meet him so soon, nor did she expect to meet him at this time of crisis at the end of the road. At this moment, she was not mentally prepared to meet him. She hadn't rehearsed the breathing and eye-catching posture she should have when she met him, and she hadn't rehearsed what to say when she met this person who had been thinking about him for a long time.
The only thing left for her was nervousness, and an empty head.
Fortunately, he didn't reveal his identity, so Jiang Chengzi was a little relieved, but he was inevitably a little disappointed. Just a faint "oh".
"Ah Zhi, don't bother me. His tone was as low as the weeds on a windswept field.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head. said: "Earlier, Yun Ge and Ah Nian also said that Gongzi is a noble person, and he must be on guard when he is outside. ”
That's right. But I've never been wary of Ah Zhi!" Yang Chen became anxious, and his tone and expression were very eager.
Jiang Chengzi looked at the anxious appearance, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't blindly trust anyone." In a high position, you need to lift it a lot. It's a big taboo for you to trust me like that. ”
He said "um" in agreement. The next sentence was said with a smile: "However, I can mention it all day, and I will not mention Ah Zhi." ”
"But you don't want to tell me who you are. Jiang Chengzi didn't want to say this, but he didn't know why. At this moment. It's said in a lonely tone.
When Yang Chen heard this, his expression became anxious, and he said, "No, Ah Zhi, it's not that I don't want to tell you." It's me, I'm not prepared for how to tell you. Because—" He said this, and seemed unable to continue. just pursed his lips blindly, looking anxious.
"Alright. I don't embarrass you, don't be troubled, and I'll talk to you when you can talk to me. Jiang Chengzi couldn't bear to see him like that.
He looked at her suspiciously, trying to see from her look whether she was angry or not. Jiang Chengzi looked at him like that and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're not angry?" he asked in a low voice.
Jiang Chengzi laughed and said, "Why are you angry?"
"I'm not honest. He said in a lonely tone.
"You are very honest, tell me that it is not the time, how can I be a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong?" Jiang Chengzi said frankly.
Yang Chen said "um", and then said: "Actually, I was not prepared for how to face you with my true identity." ”
"Then we'll wait until you're ready. Jiang Chengzi is not attached at this time. Anyway, even if this Yang Chen is not Li Ke, he is also a nobleman of the imperial court, and his eldest brother's future cannot be run. Now, what Yang's six rooms need is to recuperate in Jinyuan County. Fortunately, she is here to make Yang Qing famous, and of course, the most important thing is to accumulate some wealth for the Yang family's sixth room. Otherwise, with the economic situation of Yang's sixth room, don't say anything, even if it is difficult to eat and dress, life is tight.
"Thank you, Azhi. Yang Chen solemnly bowed.
Jiang Chengzi hid his face and smiled, and said, "You don't have to be so formal, speaking of which, you are my savior." ”
He was a little embarrassed, and then changed the topic, saying that this mountain villa is just the right spring, whether you can walk around at will. Jiang Chengzi accompanied him to go out in this villa. This house is really heroic, every grass and tree is carefully prepared, if this house is still in more than a thousand years later, then the major gardens in Suzhou are eclipsed.
The two walked around casually, not knowing what to say to each other, and there was a long silence. Later, when the two walked to a curved bridge, Yang Chen stopped under a flower tree and asked, "Ah Zhi, do you recognize this flower?"
Jiang Chengzi also had some research on flowers and trees, so he stepped forward to take a look, the flowers and trees did not bloom, and there were no flower bones, so he couldn't tell what flowers were. But looking at the color and veins of the leaves, it looks like a gardenia planted in every household in southern China.
"Is it a gardenia?" Jiang Chengzi asked uncertainly.
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and thought to herself: She really didn't remember the events of her previous life, and even called the wrong name of her favorite flower.
"Isn't it?" she asked softly, seeing that he had not answered.
He shook his head and said, "This is Fleur." ”
"Furong looks like this?" Jiang Chengzi looked at suspiciously. In her previous life, she also spent a period of time in Sichuan, and at that time she was training in the Shu Mountains. Therefore, I am also a little familiar with the customs of Sichuan. She knows that Chengdu is known as Rongcheng, and the city flower is the hibiscus flower. At that time, hibiscus flowers were planted on both sides of the Chengdu section of the 318 National Highway, and in Chengdu, people always had hibiscus flowers in front of and behind their houses. Because of the three-color flowers of one tree, she also specially checked the three-color hibiscus on the Internet called "color-colored wood hibiscus". The appearance of the hibiscus flower and the gardenia is very different, even the leaves are very different, the leaves of the hibiscus flower have fine hairs, while the gardenia is very smooth.
"Mu Hibiscus?" Jiang Chengzi asked suspiciously.
"Grow here, natural wood hibiscus. Yang Chen couldn't help but glance at her, secretly thinking that she was so smart, how could she ask such a non-standard question.
"What color does the flower bloom?" Jiang Chengzi was even more puzzled, she could be sure that this was a gardenia.
"Big red. Yang Chen replied, and then gently stroked the leaves. "This flower is not easy to grow and not easy to survive. It is therefore extremely precious. In the past, I was fortunate to carry a plant from Shu into Chang'an, one year the flowers were in full bloom, full of red and green leaves, very amazing. However, immediately after that, it withered and withered. No matter how skilled you are, you can't keep it alive. ”
He said it lightly, and he said it with pity. But that year comes to mind. She was stabbed to death and left him. The carefully cultivated hibiscus in her courtyard bloomed throughout the autumn and died that year, never to be reversed. He thought she was mad at him. Take every last thought away.
He sat in a small courtyard where she usually moved. I didn't eat or drink, and for more than half a month, I finally fell down and fell ill. Since then, he has moved into a place that looks like a cold palace in the eyes of everyone in the palace. Only the woman's personal maid was left to serve, and every day of leisure, he talked about her with the maid. Those things before he met her, and her life and mood in this courtyard.
However. The more he talked about her, the more he felt that he was too beastly. Too self-righteous. thought he could control the whole world, but he was stupid.
"Lord, don't think about the girl anymore, she will do her best to protect you, and she will not want you to live like this. In the end, the maid couldn't stand it, and the persuasion was ineffective, so she cut off her tongue and left a letter: I wish for my own girl, and I will not speak again.
He was silent, moved out of the small courtyard, and became the heroic King Wu again. But he was so disgusted with fighting in his heart that he began to plot to retreat. Because even if you reign over the world, it is meaningless, because the person you want to protect is no longer there.
When he remembered that time, his expression unconsciously became sad and sad, and he fell into deep thought. At that time, the little bits and pieces of pain hit again, and he only felt that there was a never-ending rain in his heart.
Jiang Chengzi listened to his voice, at first it was very calm, but later there was a kind of sadness, she was startled, and looked carefully at his expression and posture, it was actually sad. She expected that this flower must be a sad story, and at this time she must have remembered unhappy things, which aroused the pain in her heart.
It's just a child, but a teenager, where does such a deep sadness come from?
Jiang Chengzi was puzzled, but he didn't ask, he just pretended not to know and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, life is normal, there is life and death." Yang Gongzi is so concerned, it is not the husband's doing. ”
"Let Ah Zhi laugh. Yang Chen was startled, turned his face, and saw her eyebrows, although compared with the first time I saw her in my previous life, the description was still small, and she had not fully grown, but that face, that look and eyebrows were very similar to that time. Even when she looked at him, she would tilt her head slightly.
"Childe is a man of temperament, and if Ah Zhi laughs at this matter, he is shallow. Jiang Chengzi chuckled, then changed the topic and said, "Actually, this wood hibiscus is also called gardenia, most of the flowers are white, and red is really rare." Gardenia is used as medicine, stops bleeding and swelling, calms and protects the liver. ”
"And white?" Yang Chen asked.
"Of course, it's just a white job, and it should be planted, and it is not a challenge for the gardener. Moreover, the color of the flower is white and unlucky, and the gardener does not dare to dedicate it to the rich family. Jiang Chengzi continued to discuss this gardenia, diverting Yang Chen's attention.
"I see. Yang Chen nodded, and then praised: "Ah Zhi knows so much." ”
"Where. But he grew up in the countryside. In addition, following Master's cultivation on NeverIsland Island, Master also advocated that all things have spirituality and should be attributed to nature. Human beings are born as members of nature, and all of them come from the gifts of nature. Jiang Chengzi replied, and as she spoke, she felt that it was necessary to mention her own "master", otherwise others would think that she knew so much, almost demonic.
"Master Pan's remarks are really superior. Yang Chen replied. He didn't believe in any gods and ghosts in the past, and he was not very polite to Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in his previous life, and he didn't look good at Qin Tianjian's group of people. But after being reborn, although he once suspected that what happened to him was a dream of Nan Ke, it was so real that it was terrifying. Moreover, he verified several things, and all of them happened, which had to make him feel that there were really ghosts and gods in this heaven and earth.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he said: "Master has always been a master, erudite, wise and indifferent. It's a pity that he said that his fate with me and my master and apprentice has ended. In the past, he made up for the mistake of not disciplining Luan Niao strictly. I will never see Master again. ”
Jiang Chengzi This is just a lie, but at this time, she only felt that her nose was very sore when she thought that she would never be able to return to her own time and space, not be able to see her dear comrades-in-arms, and not be able to see her grandfather who was dying of old age. Recently, when I went home, I personally cooked for my grandfather, although my grandfather still couldn't forgive her for leaving the army and didn't give her a good look, but after the two relatives who had passed away, they still felt a lot of emotion.
While eating silently, Jiang Chengzi saw that his grandfather had gray hair. Later, when he finished eating and strode up the stairs, his back was also rickety.
Thinking of grandpa, of those people who will never see each other again. Jiang Chengzi suddenly couldn't help himself, and tears rained down.
Seeing her like this, Yang Chen was a little at a loss, and he was so anxious that he didn't know how to comfort her, so he hugged her all of a sudden and said, "Ah Zhi, be good, don't cry, don't cry, Master must be lying to you and asking you to work hard." Like my parents always said, I won't help you anymore, but in fact, they always lend a helping hand when I am in danger. Your master should be the same. ”
"Hmm. She was already sad, but now she leaned into his arms, and was comforted by his doting patting on the back, and she had a second person in her life besides her grandmother who really spoiled her so much. In an instant, all the strength she had been strong in her life collapsed. So, she whined and cried unscrupulously.
Yang Chen stopped talking, only patted her back gently, like a younger brother coaxing in the cradle, extremely gentle.
Jiang Chengzi cried for a while, and his emotions were almost cathartic, before he stopped crying, and found that his snot and tears had wrinkled and wet his white robes. She was very embarrassed, quickly got up from his arms, and whispered, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being disrespectful." ”
"I like people of temperament very much. He quipped under his breath.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, only bowed his head. He then said: "It's just that Azhi Mo wants to be so sad, for a better reunion, and all encounters in the world are reunions." ”
"All encounters in the world are reunions?" Jiang Chengzi felt that this sentence was quite zen, and he couldn't help repeating it.
"Yes. He smiled and thought to himself: Isn't my encounter with you in this life the reunion of parting in the previous life?
"Then we met, and it was also a reunion?" Jiang Chengzi asked, thinking of those dreams for no reason. Some people say: too weird dreams, or memories of past lives. So, if those dreams are true, isn't the encounter with him in this life a reunion?
"Yes. He still smiled.
Jiang Chengzi squinted his eyes slightly, in the sunlight falling from the city, the handsome young man in white and jade smiled slightly, and the spring breeze carried flying flowers, blowing his flying clothes. Jiang Chengzi suddenly felt as if he had lived so long just to meet such a person. (To be continued......)
