In March 955, ten years had passed since Shi Jingjiao invaded Tokyo and established the Jin Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the INFO period, there was also a change of dynasties and a change of emperor. It is now the second year of Guangshun and the second year of Zhou Shizong's accession to the throne.

In March, everything has grown, and the thin spring rain has finally stopped today after falling for half a month. The willows are swaying, fiddling with the wind, the rhododendrons all over the mountains compete to let go, a pinch of red and a white cluster, the bees are busy collecting honey, and the butterflies are flying in the bushes, which is like a lively and extraordinary palace feast. According to legend, in ancient times, there were cuckoo birds, crying day and night and hemoptysis, dyed red all over the mountain flowers, rhododendrons got their name from this, because its color is dyed by the rhododendron's blood, so the red azalea, also known as the blood rhododendron. It is also said that the cuckoo's wailing voice is too sad, and blood is an ominous thing, so the cuckoo is also called the ominous flower.

It's just a pity that this place is far away from Tokyo, and few people know about it, so no one cares, and even if some young ladies in the capital know about such a place, they don't want to go to the trouble of climbing this halfway up the mountain to enjoy what azaleas are in full bloom.

However, in this untouched mountain, there are two teenagers walking side by side. One of them was dressed in blue, with his left hand in front of him and his right hand behind him, and he was holding a folding fan in his left hand, shaking it intentionally or unconsciously. He wears a tiger-shaped jade pendant around his waist, a crown inlaid with sapphires on his head, thick eyebrows, eyes as bright as wolves, and his whole body exudes a strong yang atmosphere; Another dressed in purple, wearing a jade carving with a pattern on his waist, the jade carving looks ordinary, but if you look closely, its texture is very fine, touch the tentacles, you may feel a warm air coming out of it, with a purple jade crown to tie her hair, the bridge of her nose is high, a pair of eyes that seem to know everything are shining, and her hands are clenched behind her back, not angry and mighty. The two of them walked in the mountains, like a well-retouched dynamic figure walking picture, and everything around them became their embellishment.

"I didn't expect that there was such a place on the outskirts of the capital, but unfortunately, no one came." The man in purple said.

"I heard from the people at the foot of the mountain that this mountain is called Wuyan Mountain, and it seems that there are people living in this mountain, and they often come down the mountain to see their doctors." The man in blue explained.

The man in purple was curious, what kind of people would live here, ordinary hunters generally don't go out of the mountains, they all support themselves and send things to the mountains, is there any high-ranking person living in this mountain? "Oh?"

The man in blue continued to speculate, "Maybe there is a Taoist temple on the mountain!" There are high-ranking people who practice here, and occasionally they will go down the mountain to make good connections. ”

"Then we'll really have to take a look."

Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has implemented a policy of returning monks to the laity. In the previous dynasty, Taoism was embraced, and as a result, the number of Taoist temples and temples continued to increase, and some men shaved their homes to avoid military service and taxes, resulting in a decrease in the number of soldiers and no one to cultivate the land, which hindered the development of agriculture. Today's emperor has long seen this drawback, since the day of his accession to the throne, he has closed some Taoist temples, forced monks to return to the laity, should carry a knife to the battlefield to the battlefield, should be farming, should do business, should take the imperial examination to take the examination.

Could it be that there is any Taoist temple that hides in the mountains in order to avoid the policies of the imperial court? The two of them were curious, and walked towards the mountain one after the other.

"Actually, there are many places like the capital, but the emperor has a lot of opportunities, so he naturally has no time to appreciate them." The man in blue said as he walked.

"I would like to go out and walk more, but unfortunately, none of the officials in the DPRK and China have made me feel at ease. Today, I am annoyed to death by crying about where the drought needs money, or which official framed him in order to seek a higher position. Hey, by the way, how long has it been since the night has passed? ”

The man in blue didn't say a word about the previous words, and only answered the latter words. "It's been two or three days."

"It's been two or three days." The man in purple looked at the more and more azalea clusters in front of him, and couldn't help but groan: "The mud road in the Yunzhong Taidian is not only blocking the same lazy but still returning." It will be said that the loneliness is still the rain, and I don't know how much I have found the mountain. should go to Qianfeng, only to come to school for half a day. The most regrettable azalea is splendid, and the spring breeze blows into different climbs. ”

"The emperor is so Yaxing."

"Hehe, your writing is much better than mine. Compared to my current life, I miss the days when we used to study together. "At that time, I was in my prime, and I was open-minded. Since his accession to the throne, some relationships have changed subtly.

The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be surpassed. The man in blue smiled silently, and the two continued on their way.

Looking at Wuyan Mountain from the foot of the mountain, you will think that it is continuous with the surrounding peaks, but when you reach the mountainside, you will find that it actually exists independently. There are steep cliffs on three sides, and only to the east, there is a path leading to the base of the mountain.

To the mountainside, suddenly heard a pleasant flute sound, the flute sound is crisp and elegant, resounding through the mountains, the echo is curling, and the scene is here. I haven't seen it, but I already know that the piper is a master in the mountains, and his attainments are extremely high.

The sound of the flute came from the mountain, and the two continued along the bluestone path. Walking to a relatively gentle place, the two couldn't help but light up. The flat ground is full of all kinds of rhododendrons, white as clouds, red as blood, and irregularly competing in a competitive manner. There is a stone path in the middle, and at the end of the road is a jungle, which is spring, and the jungle is full of green, and a white brick tile is hidden in the green leaves, looming.

Both of them smiled, and they were really said by the man in blue, there are really people living here, and they are not ordinary people. The sound of the flute came from the courtyard, and it was certainly not improvised by some tourist who traveled here. The two looked at each other, and they both wanted to find out, who are the people in this garden?

Walk to the front of the door, the stairs are very clean, a few fallen leaves are scattered, it should be often cleaned, and the door sign says "return to the garden". The two walked to the door, and the man in blue knocked on the door. "Excuse me, anyone?"

About half a cup of tea, the door opened, and it was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, dressed in pink clothes that suited the occasion. When I saw the two of them, I was a little surprised, probably because I didn't expect someone to come to this deep mountain and forest.

The little girl first dressed herself, and then said, "Who are the two sons?" ”

The two nodded secretly, spoke clearly and neatly, and were courteous and thoughtful, they must not be ordinary people. The man in blue asked, "Hello girl, you're polite." My surname is Wen, this is my friend, surname Xu. The two of us went up the mountain to play, and we were a little tired, so I don't know if it would be convenient for us to go in and ask for water? ”

"This ......" The little girl looked at the man in blue, and then at the man in purple behind him, a little hesitant.

"Is it inconvenient?" The man surnamed Wen continued to ask.

The little girl smiled, "Two sons, that's the case, we still have a lady living here, can you let me ask my young lady first." ”

The man surnamed Wen made a gesture, "There is a labor girl." ”

The little girl returned the courtesy, closed the door, and went to find his young lady.

After the people left, the man surnamed Xu looked at the plaque above his head. Returning to the garden is very suitable for the name of this mountain forest, retreat, return...... The man surnamed Wen said suspiciously: "What kind of person will live in this deep mountain and wild forest, look at the little girl dressed just now, she should be the maidservant of a rich and noble family, with her age, her young lady should not be too old, what kind of person, young people want to live here?" ”

"Why do you think that the young lady is a young woman, in case she is not married at the age of thirty? I'm curious, who could be the owner of that flute just now? ”

The son surnamed Wen leaned over a little, opened the folding fan with a "brush", and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't we gamble with the two?" ”

The son surnamed Xu, who was called the emperor, raised his hand and pushed his face to the side, "Bet, bet, if you lose, when you come back at night, you will send him a month's dinner." ”

Gongzi surnamed Wen crooked his mouth and complained very reluctantly: "A month? It's been too long! ”

"Do you think you're going to lose before you even start? Haha......"

The two chatted, and after a cup of tea, the door opened again, and it was the little girl who opened the door just now.

The little girl opened the door, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Two sons, my young lady invites you to go in and rest." ”

"Thank you." Young Xu thanked him and took the lead in entering the courtyard.

The courtyard is very clean, compared with the outside of the courtyard, the inside seems a little empty, there are no flowers and no trees, and you can vaguely smell the smell of incense. In front is a one-room hall, the room hall is not very large, for a Buddha statue, the smell of incense is emitted from this.

"This is a temple, why is it called Guiyuan?" The young man surnamed Xu asked puzzled.

The little girl led the way in front, and when she heard the question from behind, she replied, "Childe is right, this place used to be a temple, called Yunzhong Temple, and there was a master who practiced here, but soon the immortal died. After we moved in, my young lady changed the Yunzhong Temple to a return garden. ”

"Your young lady didn't come to this temple to practice, but it was fresh."

The little girl is also not brainless about the laughter of this son surnamed Xu. "My young lady said, practice in the heart, if you have a heart, even if you are in the city, you can sit quietly and participate in Zen, and you may not recite sutras and burn incense every morning and evening. On the other hand, if you don't have the intention to practice, even if you are trapped in this deep mountain temple, it will only be three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. ”

What he said was indeed reasonable, and the two stopped talking, and let the little girl lead the way in front.

Bypass the Buddha statue and you'll find the backyard. Unlike the front yard, it is not empty, and there are flowers and plants on both sides. But it is not rhododendrons, but all kinds of medicinal herbs, and some flowers and plants that cannot be named. The two followed behind the little girl, and the man surnamed Xu found that on a branch of medicinal herbs, a piece of white yarn silk was tied, which should be used to fix the branch, and two red and yellow rhododendrons were embroidered on it. After walking dozens of steps, I came to the place where the guests were entertained, called "Guiyuan". The little girl led the two sons to sit down, and a small servant brought up the tea that had been brewed.

"Thank you, I forgot to ask just now, what is the girl's name?" The son surnamed Wen sat down and asked.

The little girl was slightly subdued, "Slave Yunsheng." "I poured the tea while talking, and made a gesture of invitation after finishing." Two sons please. ”

"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look. Hehe. I think you should have another girl named Xiangrong! ”

After pouring the tea, Yunshang stepped aside and stood, looking delicate. "The son is very literate, and the name of the slave comes from this poem."

The son surnamed Xu first picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and was silently shocked. This spring just picked spring tea, this tea can only be drunk by the rich and noble people in the capital, I didn't expect that in this deep mountain, this tea was casually taken out to entertain guests, it seems that the owner here is not simple!

"This name is given by your young lady!" The son surnamed Xu's fluttering voice came.

"Childe guessed correctly, it was my young lady who started it."

The corners of the child's mouth rose up, and it seemed that he was still a talented young lady who understood pharmacology.

The man surnamed Wen saw that the man surnamed Xu had an uncomfortable face, and hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Hey, this courtyard is called Guiyuan, why is there no laurel tree here?" ”

"Childe may not have noticed before entering the door, and the laurel tree was planted outside the gate." The little girl saw that their teacups were empty, and stepped forward to continue to refill them.

"Why is it planted outside?" The man surnamed Wen asked again.

The little girl put down the teapot and returned to the original position, "This is what my young lady means, my young lady said, the fragrance of osmanthus is very good, but if the distance is too close, the taste is too strong, and the smoke is uncomfortable. ”

"Your young lady is very knowledgeable about this. By the way, when the two of us went up the mountain, we heard the sound of a flute, but your young lady blew it? The man surnamed Xu asked.

"Yes."

"I personally know a little bit about the rhythm of music, so I can listen to the sound of the flute, which is clear and pleasant, can you take the liberty of letting us meet your young lady, and thank her for her hospitality in person." The man surnamed Xu continued to ask.

Yunshang thought that Miss didn't just give them a pot of tea, where did she get the hospitality, but she still said naturally on her face: "I'm very sorry, my young lady has lived here for many years, and she rarely sees people, so it is a little inconvenient, and I ask the two sons to forgive me." After saying that, I took it to apologize.

The son surnamed Xu sneered in his heart, what kind of shelf. "What if I insist!"

Yunshang just smiled, not angry, and there was no trace of displeasure in her gentle tone. "Looking at the son's dress, he must be a rich and noble family, elegant in speech and demeanor, and he has an excellent upbringing. The slave and maid believe that the son will not be strong. ”

The implication is that if they come hard, it will appear that they are reckless and uneducated. The son surnamed Xu sneered, no one dared not to buy his face. "Good toothy girl."

Yunshang bowed her head, as if she accepted his praise, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for the compliment." If the two sons have rested, they can go to the mountains to walk around, and this is the time when the azaleas are in full bloom, and it is beautiful. ”

This is a disguised eviction order, since the master doesn't want to see them anymore, it's boring to talk any longer, so he got up and said goodbye. Seeing that his boss was leaving, the son surnamed Wen was embarrassed to stay, so he had to stand up and say goodbye.

The little girl sent them to the door, still looking delicate. "The two sons go slowly."

The two finally turned their heads to look at the courtyard, but they still didn't see the person they wanted to see, so they had to step out of the door.

When he was far away, the man surnamed Xu said to the man surnamed Wen, "What kind of person do you think the owner of this garden will be?" ”

"Chen thought, maybe it's a middle-aged woman, why did she live here!"

Monarchs and ministers, sometimes, in front of the king, as a courtier, he should pretend to be stupid, and it may not be a good thing to be too smart.

The man surnamed Xu only smiled slightly, but did not expose him, "You guessed wrong this time, the young lady in the maid's mouth must be a woman about the same age as her, and the middle-aged woman can't play such a tune, besides, the piece of yarn tied to the medicinal herbs just now is used by a young woman, and it can be seen that this young lady is also a little knowledgeable about medicine." It's just a pity that I didn't see anyone. ”

"If the emperor wants to see him, it would be good to explain his identity directly."

"Sikong, forget it, people don't want to see each other for their own reasons, and we don't need to force people to make things difficult and disturb people's cultivation." If there is a fate, we will meet again, if there is no fate, it is a forcible request, and there is no result.

The two of them walked down the hill as they spoke, and at this time, the sun was in the sky. However, it was spring, and even at noon, the temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold. The azalea scenery should be compared with the chrysanthemums of Daxiangguo Temple. It's just a pity that the reputation of the cuckoo is far from the chrysanthemum!
