Knowing this, there was no plan later, and he forced the happy period. As if it were a farewell, the plough fell to the west and the moon. - "Picking Mulberries" Qing Nalan Rongruo.
**
The black shadow that suddenly and silently fell from the sky in front of the twelve-step bluestone steps in the Korean courtyard, and the black shadow that was reflected like a ghost by the bright moonlight of the sky was wrapped in black clothes and black boots, and even the face of the black shadow was wrapped in layers of black scarves, leaving only a pair of dark eyes reflecting the pure moonlight.
Such a tight attire made it impossible to peek into the face of the dark shadow, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
Standing in front of the twelve-step bluestone steps, the black shadow only had to raise his eyes slightly, and he could see that in the floor below the two-story building built on the twelve-step bluestone steps, there was still a candle flame in the outermost wing on the left.
Even though it looked like a bean in the room from the open window, it was enough to pierce the darkness of the night.
Suddenly, I saw the black shadow take a step, quietly step on the twelve bluestone steps, and go straight to the door of the outermost wing room on the left.
Under the bright moonlight, in front of the door of the study of the Han Academy, I saw the black shadow raise his hand and push the door straight in.
Through the moonlight projected into the study through the wide open doorway, you can see that the door is the outer room of the study, and there is a round pear blossom wood tea table on the ground in the middle of the outer room, and a set of purple sand teapots and teacups are placed on the table. On the floor next to the tea table, there is a circle of round stools, also made of pear blossom wood.
The tea table passed. It is a long couch of pear blossom wood placed against the wall, and in the middle of the couch is a rectangular low table of pear blossom wood. On the left and right sides of the low table are rectangular cushions embroidered with mountain motifs. It's very simple.
Although there were many lampposts on the floor of the outer room of the study, none of them were lit at the moment, so that there was no light in the empty outer room except the moonlight that was cast into the room through the doorway and the veiled window.
The shadow's steps turned, and through the hollowed-out and carved moon-shaped arch that separated the inner and outer rooms of the study, was the inner room of the study.
Walking through the hollowed-out carved moon-shaped arch that separates the inner and outer rooms of the study, a bookshelf the size of an entire wall is visible. On the huge bookshelves, almost every layer and every grid is filled with paper books, as well as all kinds of bamboo slips that look many years old with the naked eye.
Behind the bookshelves. Facing the full moon-shaped arch is a bookcase made of pure mahogany with the four treasures of the study, as well as several neatly arranged books and bamboo slips.
In the upper left corner of the bookcase, near the pile of books and bamboo slips. There is a golden candlestick. The candle in the candlestick was trying to cast light around it. And the lamp I saw in the Korean courtyard before was the light emitted by this candle.
Although it was midnight at this time, on the chair behind the bookcase, there was a man wearing a light blue Confucian shirt and three thousand green silks.
Because the man was already covered with three thousand green silks, and the man's face was still slightly drooping, so that he could not see the man's face clearly, and could only judge from the figure. The man was supposed to be a slender man.
And at this moment, the man was by the light of the only candle burning on the desk in front of him. Intently looking at a slightly old scroll of bamboo slips spread out on the bookcase.
At this time, I saw that the black shadow saw the man who was sitting quietly on the bookcase, hanging his face, and quietly looking at the bamboo slips, and the black shadow knelt down on one knee without saying a word towards the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, hanging his face, and looking at the bamboo slips quietly.
I saw the black shadow kneeling on one knee towards the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, drooping his face, and quietly looking at the bamboo slips, respectfully clasping his hands into fists, and then, in the quiet study, a cold woman's voice sounded: "Subordinates see the master!" According to the master's instructions, the congratulatory gift will be delivered to the Prince of Chibing Guoxu in person around noon tomorrow. ”
The black shadow is the shadow of the Butterfly Shadow Troupe, and the shadow of the Butterfly Shadow Regiment is all a woman. However, after the shadow said this, the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, with his face hanging down, quietly looking at the bamboo slips, did not answer.
The man with his face hanging down and not seeing his face clearly did not speak, and the shadow on the ground kneeling in front of the bookcase did not dare to speak in vain, so he could only bow his head and kneel in silence. So, the study fell silent again.
The silence of the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, with his face hanging down, and watching the bamboo slip quietly, saw that the shadow had raised his fist in the air, and his hands had been slowly lowered.
As she lowered her hands, the Shadow placed one of her hands on the knee of her bent leg, and the other on the ground beside her.
Although the shadow was wrapped in a black coat and black boots all over his body, and even the shadow's face was wrapped in layers of black scarves, leaving only a pair of dark eyes, it was not difficult to see the shadow's respect for the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, hanging his face, and quietly looking at the bamboo slips.
After lowering his fist-clasped hands, the shadow did not make any other movements, nor did he make a sound, but quietly knelt on one knee, quietly waiting for the man who was sitting quietly behind the bookcase, his face down, and quietly watching the bamboo slips speak.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, the man who had been sitting quietly behind the bookcase, looking at the bamboo slips with his face down, finally moved-
But I saw that the man who was originally sitting quietly behind the bookcase, hanging his face, and looking at the bamboo slips quietly, suddenly raised his hand, and slowly rolled up the bamboo slips that were spread out on the bookcase in front of him, and then the man slowly stood up with the rolled bamboo slips......
It's a pity that even though the man has stood up, the man's face is still drooping, as if he is looking at the scroll of bamboo slips he is holding in his hand and thinking about something.
But it was also because the man's face hung down so much that his hair was draped with three thousand green threads hanging down from the sides of his cheeks. The man's face was obscured so that no one could see the geometry of his face.
There was only a light in the quiet study, but when he saw the man stand up, he turned around unhurriedly. After leaving the pure mahogany bookcase, the man walked to the bookshelf behind him the size of an entire wall.
Then the man placed the scroll of bamboo slips he had rolled in his hand on a certain compartment on a certain level of the bookshelf. Instead, the man picked out a blue-covered book from the bookshelf in front of him and held it in his hand.
At this moment, the head-to-foot shadow was still bowed. Silently kneeling on one knee in front of the bookcase.
If it weren't for the place where the shadow knelt, within the range of light that the candle on the bookcase could illuminate, the silent shadow would have merged with the darkness in the study.
And that compartment. In front of the bookshelf the size of an entire wall, the man slowly turned around after putting away the bamboo slip in his hand and picking out a book with a blue cover and holding it in his hand.
Until the man turned completely and looked up at the man kneeling on the ground in front of the bookcase, with his head bowed. Silent Shadows. Only then did I see the man's face clearly through the candle flame in the inner room of the study.
Some of them tend to be bronzed, and the contours of their faces are like those carved out by a knife, but they are just with a touch of softness; A pair of thick ink eyebrows have a slight twist at the brow bone at the tail end, revealing a bit of fortitude; Danfeng's eyes are not too narrow and have obsidian-like eyes, the high nose has a bit of northerners' taste, and the peach-colored lips are neither thin nor thick......
Such a face, although it is not like a crown of jade. But it's handsome with a masculine air, if you really want to talk about it. This can also be regarded as a handsome face comparable to Yan Ziming's face.
And the owner of this handsome face with a masculine spirit is the owner of this Korean courtyard - Zhu Zimo.
Whether it is the Great Liang Kingdom, the Chibing Kingdom, the Dazhang Kingdom, or the Fengming Kingdom, or even the other five small countries, on the Tiancheng Continent, the people of all countries have the saying that "if the parents die, keep filial piety for three years".
Of course, for various reasons, there are many people who are not willing to honestly keep filial piety for three years, but in any case, for children, at least one year of filial piety must be kept.
Because the "parents" in "Parents are dead, keep filial piety for three years" refers to the biological parents of the person who keeps filial piety, therefore, although Chen Rou is Zhu Zimo's mother-in-law, Chen Rou is not counted among Zhu Zimo's filial piety objects.
And although Zhu Hui is Zhu Zimo's real biological father, he was born but not raised, and he is not a father! Zhu Zimo can be filial piety for Zhu Hui, or he may not be filial piety for Zhu Hui, it depends on Zhu Zimo's intentions.
As for Zhu Ziyao...... Putting aside the fact that Zhu Ziyao is not Zhu Hui's bloodline, even if Zhu Ziyao is Zhu Hui's bloodline, Zhu Ziyao is only Zhu Zimo's brother, and Zhu Zimo is the same generation, and Zhu Ziyao is not among Zhu Zimo's filial piety objects.
It is true that Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, and Zhu Ziyao, Zhu Zimo can not keep filial piety for them, but no matter what, Zhu Zimo has to keep filial piety for Liu Ruyun.
Liu Ruyun only has Zhu Zimo's son, although Liu Ruyun did not fulfill his responsibilities as a mother to Zhu Zimo because of his own weak body after giving birth to Zhu Zimo, but there is no doubt that Liu Ruyun loves and cares about Zhu Zimo very much.
Moreover, in essence, Liu Ruyun's death is actually inseparable from Zhu Zimo. If it weren't for Zhu Zimo forcing Zhu Hui to death with words that day, Liu Ruyun would not have ......
Therefore, whether it is because Zhu Zimo only has Liu Ruyun, or out of guilt for Liu Ruyun, there is no doubt that Zhu Zimo will keep filial piety for Liu Ruyun.
Not to mention whether Zhu Zimo will keep filial piety for Liu Ruyun for three years, at least one year of filial piety, Zhu Zimo will guard for Liu Ruyun.
And so far, it has only been two months since Liu Ruyun's death, even if Zhu Zimo only kept filial piety for Liu Ruyun for one year, this filial piety period has only passed one-fifth.
Not to mention that Zhu Zimo is still in the period of filial piety, that is, since Liu Ruyun's death, Zhu Zimo only wears a light plain clothes on weekdays, and today he only wears a light blue Confucian shirt, and the three thousand green silk is not even tied with a crown, so casually draped.
Although Zhu Zimo's clothes are simple, and even Zhu Zimo's three thousand green silks are scattered without any image, they can't hide Zhu Zimo's luxurious temperament that comes out of his bones.
However, even if it is just plain clothes, with the current financial resources of Zhu Mansion, Zhu Zimo's current status in Zhu Mansion, the clothing must be a high-quality silk material, which undoubtedly enhances Zhu Zimo's luxurious temperament.
In that room, in front of a bookshelf as big as a whole wall, I saw Zhu Zimo, who was wearing an elegant light blue Confucian shirt, holding a book with a blue cover in his hand, and raised his eyes and glanced faintly at the dark shadow of the person kneeling on the ground in front of the bookcase with his head lowered and silent, Zhu Zimo did not return to the chair behind the bookcase made of pure mahogany and sat down, but directly held the book in his hand and walked towards the open window on the wall next to the bookshelf.
With Zhu Zimo's steps moving forward, Zhu Zimo's figure was gradually bathed in the pure moonlight, and the elegant light blue Confucian shirt on Zhu Zimo's body dyed the pure moonlight halo projected on him into a faint halo.
When Zhu Zimo's whole person was shrouded by the pure moonlight projected into the inner room of the study from the window, whether he looked at it from a distance or up close, Zhu Zimo's figure looked hazy and illusory, like a fairy.
After standing still in front of the open window, Zhu Zimo did not look at the blue-covered book in his hand, but raised his eyes to meet the pure moonlight projected into the inner room of the study from the wide open window, and looked at the confused night outside the window.
The boundless silence of the night was just like his state of mind at this time......
Time passed quietly, and after a long time, Zhu Zimo, who stood motionless in front of the window with a book in his hand, looked at the confused night outside the window, and asked, "How is the situation in Jiangnan?" Is Vice Lin okay with them? ”
"Back to the master, since Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi walked with the Netherworld Palace, between the Netherworld Palace's notorious reputation in the rivers and lakes, all the martial arts people who went to Jiangnan to participate in the martial arts conference saw that they all took a detour, and Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi were much safer than when only the two of them traveled before.
The day before yesterday, Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi and his party from the Netherworld Palace had entered Jinyi Province in the south of the Yangtze River, and if nothing else, around the middle of this month, Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi and his party from the Netherworld Palace would arrive in Nanling County safely. In the empty study, only Zhu Zimo and the shadow were there, as soon as Zhu Zimo's question came out, the shadow who knelt on the ground in front of the bookcase lowered his head and had been silent, and immediately took over the words and reported to Zhu Zimo in a respectful tone.
