Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Ideal Country Far from the World
Although he lay in the field for half a night, Shi Qingyi still felt weak, and he walked on the official road for a long time with a big living person, Shi Qingyi didn't bother to hide it, and returned to Li's mansion directly from the gate, and when he met his subordinates, he said that Li Shimin was drunk and brought him back by himself, anyway, the only witness was really unconscious, so that no one suspected her of anything.
After thinking about it, Shi Qingyi still decided to throw Li Shimin into the study where he currently lives and get him to a new house? Li Shimin doesn't know how to accept his own affection, and he obviously flatters the blind. Carrying Li Shimin to his residence, Shi Qingyi threw it on the bed, clapped his hands, and left. Li Shimin's poison has been solved by Xiaoqing, as for lethargy, it's just a side effect of dragon poison, don't worry, Shi Qingyi still feels sleepy, and wants to go back to his house to rest?
The next few days were calm, except for when Li Shimin just woke up, he ran to the Manqing Courtyard to find the Mo'er girl, of course, he wouldn't see her, the people of the Yin Sect have always been rabbits, and their ability to escape is the best in the world. Shi Qingyi was also called over by the two ladies a few days later, and was asked about what happened that day, and Shi Qingyi said it truthfully, the two ladies are very wise people, they should know the severity of this matter, and they will not publicize it in a big way. The two ladies were a little shocked when they heard this, Shi Qingyi immediately retired, since the matter has been fully said, then there is no point for her here, it is right to leave quickly. Looking at the daughter-in-law who was slowly leaving, Dou sincerely admired the wisdom of his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law is indeed far-sighted, and I am relieved to have this daughter-in-law looking at the people." Old Madam Dugu smiled, but shook her head: "If it was just that, I wouldn't value her so much, this woman is far beyond your imagination." "Oh?" This time, Mrs. Dou was puzzled. The old lady only smiled and did not explain.
The days returned to the original calm, Shi Qingyi was still quietly cultivating swords, reading and learning calligraphy, and Li Shimin lost the mentality of continuing to eat, drink and have fun because of the blow of the incident in Manqingyuan, he returned to his study, picked up the books that he threw behind his head during this period of time, and read hard. The days, just like this, passed calmly day by day, until one day, Li Shimin found that he had a lot less books, and asked the person who managed the books, only to know that it was taken by the young lady, Li Shimin thought about it again and again, and walked towards the new house where Shi Qingyi lived.
Li Shimin has been avoiding Shi Qingyi recently, because it is not a secret that Shi Qingyi sent him back, Li Shimin knew the news after waking up, although he didn't know the specific process, but he also understood that it must have been this woman who saved him, which made him feel very embarrassed, after all, he hated this woman very much, but now it was the object of his love who betrayed him, and instead asked this woman he hated to rescue, which made Li Shimin feel very embarrassed in his heart, and therefore, he often deliberately avoided Shi Qingyi.
However, hiding is not always a way, Li Shimin said in his heart, after all, the other party is his wife, can he not see each other for the rest of his life, and after all, it was the other party who saved him. If it is an irrelevant person who comes to the rescue, then Li Shimin will definitely be grateful, and then he will definitely form good friends with the other party enthusiastically, however, it is that woman. Li Shimin thought about it again and again, but decided to meet Shi Qingyi, after all, they were nominally husband and wife, so they couldn't go without seeing each other for the rest of their lives, besides, this time he also wanted to get the books under Shi Qingyi's hands.
Li Shimin came to the room where Shi Qingyi lived, knocked on the door, and a voice came from the house, "Come in, the door is not locked." Li Shimin then pushed open the door and walked into the house. The furnishings in the house are different from before, in addition to the home furnishings, the two bookshelves occupy a large space, and the bookshelves are stacked with neat books, it can be seen that Shi Qingyi's daily reading volume is very large, Li Shimin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this nominal wife is so fond of books, Shi Qingyi is practicing calligraphy, when he was in the valley, Bi Xiuxin often instructed Shi Qingyi's writing skills, but unfortunately, since Bi Xiuxin went, Shi Qingyi's mood was scattered, and the words were naturally deserted, It wasn't until recently that he was a lot more leisurely, and he picked it up again, for the results of these days' practice, Shi Qingyi was quite satisfied, although he had not reached his best level, but it was also very good, and the most important thing was that in the process of practicing words, his mood became calm, which was of great benefit to the improvement of the realm, therefore, Shi Qingyi would spend a lot of time practicing writing every day, and even reduced the time for practicing martial arts.
Li Shimin's arrival was really unexpected by Shi Qingyi, she raised her head in a little stunned, not understanding why the other party came to this place. Li Shimin coughed dryly before asking: "I heard someone say that my book is with you, so come and see if that's the case." He looked at Shi Qingyi, only to find that Shi Qingyi was writing Tao Qian's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", and couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he approached Shi Qingyi and took a closer look.
Tao Qian, that is, Tao Yuanming, because he did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, resigned and went home to farm, willing to live a poor life, many of his literary works have expressed his love for pastoral life and dissatisfaction with reality, the most famous, is "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" and "Return to the Words"
Shi Qingyi looked at the "Peach Blossom Spring" that she wrote half of it with regret, she was disturbed, and the remaining half was wasted, because of the blood refining, she was originally extremely murderous, only because she was good at hiding, so that people would not notice, but the murderous energy accumulated in the body, after all, it was not good for the body, she had to do something self-cultivation to reconcile, this Peach Blossom Spring, the artistic conception is extremely dusty and indifferent, Shi Qingyi also likes it very much, when she writes, there is no murderous spirit in her heart, therefore, Shi Qingyi's Peach Blossom Spring, The font is elegant and refined, and there is a sense of dust, no wonder Li Shimin was surprised when he saw it, and stopped to watch.
In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different, and he goes forward again, wanting to exhaust his forest.
When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy.
When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked and asked where he had come from. Answered. Then he had to return home, and set up wine to kill chickens for food. When the village heard about this person, Xian came to inquire. Since Yun Xianshi avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is today, but I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin. This person sighed for what he had said and heard. The rest of the people returned to their homes, and they all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign. The Chinese said: "It is not enough for outsiders." ”
Once he went out and got his boat, he helped him to the road, and he was determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. Taishou immediately sent people to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he got lost and lost his way.
Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended. Later, there was no interest.
A paradise without war, hunger and oppression, a fairyland on earth. Although Li Shimin didn't believe it, it didn't prevent him from imagining it for himself, "It would be nice if such a place really existed." Shi Qingyi was noncommittal, speaking of which, isn't that valley in Shu also a paradise, of course, when Bixiuxin was still alive. When that woman dies, there will be no more zài in the paradise. "Yes, it's a pity, illusory things are illusory after all, and they can never become real." It is rare that Shi Qingyi will also echo Li Shimin, although there are still many realistic factors in her tone, but after a good start, the two of them still slowly got into conversation.
Tao Yuanming's articles are excellent, "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" and "Words of Return" even if the prose of later generations is rarely exceeded, but his poems are very ordinary, returning to the garden and living in the countryside is just decent, barely considered the upper class, although the drinking has "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely appearing in Nanshan." But in contrast to the whole poem, it still looks full of ingenuity, and it obviously falls to the lower level. Although Li Shimin likes bow horses, but he has a good mother, under the enlightenment of Mrs. Dou, Li Shimin also has a great interest in reading and learning characters, so he can see at a glance that Shi Qingyi's words are different, and therefore, when it comes to Tao Yuanming, a writer of the previous dynasty (Eastern Jin Dynasty), he can explain his advantages and disadvantages, Shi Qingyi also agrees with his point of view very much, because what she likes is only those two articles.
Li Shimin came to find some military books to ask for, and after being read by Shi Qingyi, he put them on the bookshelf, Li Shimin's expression was a little strange when he got the book, as if he was strange that a woman was actually interested in these things, Shi Qingyi turned a blind eye, since Li Shimin took the book, there was no point in staying here, so he took his leave, and Shi Qingyi took out a new piece of paper and began to write on it again.
Xanadu, if there is a zài, it should be a resting place for the soul that can only be reached by the dead. It is not the abode of kings (avlon), nor the heroes of ancient times (Valhalla), but the inhabitants of it are only ordinary people who are happy to know their fate. It is an ideal place for ordinary people to stay away from the world.
