Chapter 43 Falling Leaves Know Autumn
Now let's say that the tea is cool on this case, and the eyes are the day when Emperor Xiao returns to Beijing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, the holy capital city started from the south, and the main gate of the road was opened, and the Nanhua Gate, Yonghe Gate, and Cheng'an Gate were opened to the Jinque City to welcome Emperor Xiao's holy drive.
The people on the street knew that on this day, not only Emperor Xiao returned to Beijing, but also accompanied the dragon to return to the court, and they all knelt on both sides of the main street, shouting long live to welcome Emperor Xiao and congratulate the triumphant return of the army.
First, a pair of ironclad guards came quickly, standing on both sides of the street with solemn faces. After a while, I heard the sound of fine music coming from afar, and I saw Emperor Xiao's honor guard slowly coming from outside the city.
After the deacon and Emperor Xiao drove over, he saw the civil and military ministers who accompanied the dragon and followed him. Among them, there is a young man with a silver saddle and a white horse, who is the only son of Shao Changyun, the Duke of Dingguo, and Shao Zimu is also.
That Shao Zimu wore a plain white robe with bamboo leaves and plum blossom patterns, and there was no ornament on his body, and he sat on a horse with the reins and walked slowly. Looking at its appearance, the color is better than the snow plum, and it is like a spirit deer. Although he is young, he already has his father's style.
At that time, there were occasionally one or two whispers between the crowd, and at some point, a few bold girls picked the fragrant flowers on the sideburns and threw them with their hands. That Shao Zimu just raised his eyebrows and smiled back.
When the banner-bearers behind the cart and horses drove away, they saw the army of conquest following them approaching. The soldiers who were able to enter the city were all meritorious men, all of them had straight chests and backs, strutted with their heads held high, and they were indescribably proud.
Now, not to mention the flowers on this street, there is a grand appearance of sheng songs, and the Dingguo Mansion is also a lot of bustle.
Everyone in the house knew that Shao Zimu had returned to the house, and everyone up and down was smiling. The boy who listened to the letter outside didn't know how many groups he had sent, waiting to send a message to the inner house.
Shen Xinyi got up early in the morning and was busy checking everywhere, and he couldn't rest for half a moment.
Shao Zijiang saw it and persuaded from the side: "Mother is in such a hurry to do something, even if she is in a hurry, she will not be able to come back until noon." If there is anything, just tell those maids and mothers-in-law, why do everything yourself. ”
Qiu Yu smiled and said with a smile: "No, Madame didn't sleep well all night last night." While it was still early, the lady went back to her room to rest first, and when the hour came, it was not too late to get up again. ”
Shao Ziqi saw Qiu Yu winking at her, hurriedly climbed Shen Xinyi's arm, and said, "I asked Sister Daixue to quarrel early today, can my mother accompany me to sleep?" ”
"No matter how old you are, you don't know how ashamed you are." Shen Xinyi had already seen the careful thinking of the three of them, and said angrily.
Just as everyone was talking and laughing, a little girl suddenly ran in to deliver a message, saying that there was a seat in the palace and that she would not be able to come back until the afternoon, so that the lady and the two girls did not have to worry.
Shen Xinyi got the letter, so he had to give up, and he had to be accompanied by the two sisters.
It turned out that because it was Emperor Xiao's banquet, Shao Changyun and Shao Zimu were inconvenient to refuse. First, he knew that the rules of the palace banquet had always been cumbersome, so he sent someone to send a message back, so that everyone in the palace did not have to wait dryly.
For a while, the wine was in full swing, and everyone in the palace had finished eating, and it was the beginning of the unitary period. And because of the close time of the palace gate, the ministers did not dare to stay, and after thanking the banquet in unison, they each withdrew. Shao Changyun and Shao Zimu also followed closely behind everyone and slowly walked out of the hall.
Shao Changyun saw that Xiao Yuan, the king of Lian, was walking alone on the road of the imperial city, so he took Shao Zimu to march forward to pay tribute.
Xiao Yuan bowed in return, did not suppress him with the power of a prince, and said with a smile: "Brother Changyun has been fine recently, but I haven't seen him for a few months, but his demeanor is better than before." ”
Shao Changyun's face was indifferent, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty is a disciple of the White House, and His Royal Highness King Lao Lian has a memory. ”
"Well, that's what I said. It's really a slap in the face for us laymen. Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "In this world, whoever sees Brother Changyun can't praise 'a famous man in the world, Wei Jin in the world'." Brother Changyun, you are too modest. ”
"It's just a name." Shao Changyun replied lightly, and said to Shao Zimu sideways: "It's been a long delay outside today, you go back to the house first to say hello, so as not to worry about them." ”
"Yes." Shao Zimugong complied and bowed.
Xiao Yuan saw Shao Changyun looking for Shao Zimu to take away, he hid his eyes from the side, and said unhurriedly: "Brother Changyun, seeing that the gate of this palace is about to be locked, let's go tightly, so as not to call someone out when we get it." Although this king has always been so accustomed to it, he is afraid that he will tarnish the reputation of Brother Changyun at that time. ”
"The prince's daughter doesn't care, how can a villain be afraid." Shao Changyun saw that Xiao Yuan deliberately opened the conversation and didn't want to talk to him in detail, so he took a step sideways and stopped Xiao Yuan without moving.
"It's really getting late today, and this king also made an appointment with the flower master of Qifeng Pavilion." Xiao Yuan talked about him left and right. "If you make the beauty wait for a long time, you will lose the bearing of the king."
Seeing Xiao Yuan's attitude, Shao Changyun had no choice but to get straight to the point and said, "Is the prince really willing?" ”
"What is willingness? What is unwillingness? Idle clouds and wild cranes, free and romantic, but this king's pursuit in his life. Xiao Yuan was calm, his tone was flat, and he looked directly at Shao Changyun and said.
"Heh......" Shao Changyun chuckled lightly and looked sideways. I saw three or four palace people in the distance sweeping the fallen leaves under the steps with brooms, and a few rustling sounds came with the wind.
Xiao Yuan followed Shao Changyun's gaze and said with a smile: "Brother Changyun stopped me here, shouldn't he invite me to enjoy this late summer scene." ”
"The prince said that he laughed, autumn is coming, how can I be greedy for the scenery of the past." Shao Changyun hooked his lips and chuckled, speaking freely.
"It's just a few dead leaves falling off the branches." Xiao Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said. "It's hard to grow up Brother Yun is still a person who cherishes flowers and leaves, and he can't see a trace of bleak autumn scenery."
"When the leaves fall to dust, there will be empty branches waiting for new leaves." The smile on the corner of Shao Changyun's lips never dissipated, and he said lightly. "The old leaves of the past, even if the petioles are as new as ever and better than in the past, how can they resist this autumn wind."
"Although the leaves fall and the autumn is known, Brother Chang Yun's words are inevitably a little decisive."
"The cycle of heaven is endless. This autumn day is the harvest season. Shao Changyun's eyes were deep, and his face did not change. If you have planted a tree, why don't you seek fruit? ”
Xiao Yuan's face was calm and calm, his eyes were like deep pools, and he said slowly: "Although autumn can be fruitful, who knows if this fruit can withstand this cold winter and snow?" ”
"What if someone is willing to give charcoal in the snow?" Shao Changyun said slowly.
"Brother Changyun's words are wrong. This person has nine streams, and charcoal also has a difference between upper, middle and lower grades. Although it is a good intention to send charcoal in the snow, if the charcoal is not suitable for its use, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be worse in the end. Xiao Yuan's eyes were full of light, and his gaze was as sharp as an arrow shooting at Shao Changyun.
"Charcoal is a high-quality charcoal, it depends on whether anyone dares to use it." Shao Changyun looked at him calmly, with a light smile on his lips from beginning to end.
"Oh, it's a coincidence that there is a shortage of good silver bone charcoal in this palace, but I don't know if Brother Chang Yun is the one who sent the charcoal." Xiao Yuan said with great interest.
Shao Changyun smiled lightly, bowed down and said: "Holding the bamboo broom for a long time, the flowers are falling, how can the flowers love the branches, and they refuse to fall in the wind." ”
"It's just because it's not time for the wild goose to return." Xiao Yuan said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and dispersed.
To know the profound meaning of the words of the two today, and listen to the details later.
