Chapter 35: The Lotus Pond by the Bamboo Forest (2)
Cheng Xuan was silent for a long time, so long that he felt that he was standing in the pavilion as if waiting for the sweat on his body to slowly seep out and be slowly dried, before he said to Shen Jinyu: "To be honest, these news are all true, but sometimes there are too many coincidences, which makes people wonder how there can be such a lucky person in the world, and there is no need to do anything, good things will fall on him." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info As for the emperor's grandson, he is just a nominal one, and the emperor didn't give him anything except a name. He and I are like a pair of outcasts, looking glamorous on the outside and a bag of grass on the inside. ”
Shen Jinyu said with a smile: "Yesterday's wood in the mountains was not able to end its life; Now the master's goose is not dead. Where will the gentleman be? ”
Cheng Xuan was puzzled, and Shen Jinyu said again: "In the dark night, the moth fights the fire, thinking that they are working hard to go to the light, how not to wait for the night to pass, not all efforts can go to the dawn." ”
At this time, Cheng Wan got down from the wooden boat, carrying shoes and socks barefoot, she walked to the bamboo pavilion and said: "I like this pool of lotus flowers so much." When did my brother plant it. ”
Cheng Xuan didn't ask any further, and said to Fluttershy, "After returning from Lingnan last year, I ordered someone to start planting the whole plant, and planting it like this makes it look much more vibrant." ”
Shen Jinyu smiled and saw Cheng Wan sitting on the railing, throwing her feet around in the air, and then put her socks on until they were dry, and said, "You are tired from playing for a long time, the sour plum juice I cooked in the morning is still hanging in the well and icing." ”
Cheng Xuan was not surprised to see Fluttershy's unruly appearance, she was lively by nature, and the Cheng family did not restrain her.
Cheng Wan pulled Cheng Xuan and said, "Brother, let's go drink sour plum juice together." ”
At this time, it was already evening, they were walking leisurely on the way back, the sunset shone obliquely, stretching the shadows of the three of them long, this day the summer heat was finally coming to an end, the clouds on the horizon were red, and there were cicadas and insects in the trees on the side of the road.
Shen Jinyu finished dinner, and when she returned to Jinyue Xuan, Biyu had already returned, she saw that Biyu's face was not good, so she sent Yuheng back to the room, and asked Biyu softly, "Are you tired?" Why is your face so bad? ”
Biyu bowed her head and was silent, and after a long time, she asked Shen Jinyu: "I've been dreaming lately, dreaming about things before, it's been so long, and the dream is still so clear, every time I wake up, I feel that I only experienced something yesterday, how can it all change today." ”
Shen Jinyu took her hand and said, "Are you tired today?" How could you suddenly talk about this? ”
Biyu shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay miss, I'm just thinking about it for a while." ”
Shen Jinyu comforted: "No matter how painful the days are, you have to go on, and it is useless to force them." The Buddhist scriptures ask: Purify your heart and keep your will, and you will reach the Tao. For example, grinding the mirror, the dirt is clear, and there is no desire to stop it, and it deserves fate. Otherwise, all the pain will be inflicted on you, and one day you will be crushed. ”
Shen Jinyu thought for a while and then continued: "Consumed in memories, there is no way to live a lifetime. Some burdens, slowly moving forward will be thrown away, the world is distressed, you start copying Buddhist scriptures with me today, I don't know if I can help you, so I can calm down. ”
Biyu nodded, lit the lamp with Shen Jinyu, found paper and ink, and copied the scriptures.
Shen Jinyu guessed that Biyu was only afraid that she had some scruples about moving out, and lived in Chengfu, although she had to be careful in everything, but she didn't have to worry about the money, Biyu had suffered, and she was worried that life after leaving the house was normal, she opened the suitcase and found a small agarwood jewelry box, this box was originally given by her grandfather, and it was the last thing she could do.
Shen Jinyu handed the agarwood box to Biyu and said: "You help me take this tomorrow, we have to move out, you are naturally a little apprehensive in your heart, this is done, first go to buy some good land, rely on land rent, it is enough to live, if there are reliable old servants of the Han Mansion, we can help them if they are not doing well, don't worry." ”
Jasper's eyes were red, and she took the agarwood box and did not refuse.
I was sleepy at night, and Shen Jinyu slept a little later the next morning, and Cheng Wan was thinking about the wooden boat in the morning, and got up before dawn.
Cheng Wan walked to the wooden boat, took off her shoes and socks, pulled up her trousers high, and wore a rouge-colored Chu Gexiang gauze dress, which looked good in the misty and misty in the blue boundless.
She didn't know how to paddle, she just relied on her understanding of water to shake around, the mist covered the lotus leaves, and she walked aimlessly.
Cheng Wan struggled to remove the lotus leaves in front of her to see where she looked, but found that the scene in front of her was not familiar, she was wondering, there was still a place in her own home that she didn't know, and after looking at it for a while, she found that not far from the shore, there was a young man in dark clothes, that son seemed to see her, she faintly heard the poem in the wind: "The lotus Luo skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song. ”
Cheng Wan was shocked, she looked like a ghost now, it was really unsightly, but fortunately, the fog was big and the lotus leaves were also big.
She hurriedly squatted down, hiding herself in the lotus leaves to paddle, just now she didn't know if she was seen clearly when she was looking at the scenery indiscriminately, she panicked, she didn't know where she went, after paddling for a while, she felt that she had been completely hidden in the vast lotus leaves, no matter which direction she was on the shore, she couldn't see her, so she quickly put down her trouser legs and put on her shoes and socks.
Cheng Wan put on her shoes and socks and hid in the lotus pond for a while before she cautiously leaned towards the shore, she didn't care what place this was, she climbed up when she got to the shore, and hurried back to her yard all the way.
Shen Jinyu went to Cheng Wan's yard to look for her, and when she saw that Cheng Wan's state was very wrong today, she often stayed up, and she asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Cheng Wan shook her head hurriedly: "Where is it, it's just a daze." ”
Shen Jinyu said: "It's weirdly hot this day, why don't we go to the lotus pond to enjoy the coolness, you pick some lotus leaves, and I'll make you some snacks." ”
Cheng Wan smiled reluctantly: "Naturally, it's good, you wait for me to change my clothes." ”
Shen Jinyu brought a small bamboo basket and small silver scissors, and the lotus pond was really much cooler, Shen Jinyu asked with a smile: "Where is your wooden boat, why haven't you seen it?" ”
Cheng Wan showed a hint of panic on her face and said, "It's stopped in the distance, and someone has been called to bring it." ”
It didn't take long to say that. Sure enough, a servant sent the boat over, and Shen Jinyu saw that her face was different, so she didn't ask how the boat went elsewhere, but only got on the boat in turn and began to row slowly.
said that it was rowing, but it didn't make any effort, the wooden boat went out not far, swaying and floating on the lotus pond, Cheng Wan was unusually silent, Shen Jinyu and her had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while.
