Chapter 403: The Same (Three More: Rarely Read Chinese+)
In the early spring morning of the grassland, it is no less cold than in the middle of winter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cold wind swept from the endless grassland, and the teeth of the two children who were protected by their father and mother in the middle chattered.
But no one complained, they just hugged their father's waist more tightly, and put their heads on his father's back, to avoid the knife-like cold wind on the horse's back.
Fortunately, after the sun rises in the east, the temperature gradually rises after the golden light shines on the grassland.
The wind also warmed up with the sun, blowing through the endless grassland, rolling up the waves.
The two children didn't sleep all night, and when they finally warmed up, how could they not fall asleep in A-Niang's arms?
Zhang Qian was sleepless, and he looked into the distance hoping to find a water source.
Men can travel day and night, but horses cannot, and they count on these two horses all the way.
In the afternoon, Zhang Qian and his entourage finally found a lake.
The turquoise and clear lake shimmered white in the sun, and the group breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the water source, dismounted from their horses, let go of their horses, and let it go to drink.
After the horses had drunk enough water happily, they buried their heads in the green grass and nibbled on the tender green grass.
During this time of feeding the horses, the people also stopped to rest, had some dry food, and then fell on the warm grass to make up for sleep.
When the horses are full of food and drink, it is time to return to their journey.
Even if the Xiongnu royal court has no intention of caring about anything else now, they can't take it lightly, and they must not be arrested again.
Zhang Qian filled the water bladder and tied it to the horse's back.
When he turned around, he saw that his wife Efuya was still sitting on the grass in a daze, and he patted his son Zhang Mian's head, "Ask Uncle Gan to carry you on horseback." ”
The child obediently went, and Zhang Qian sat down beside Eveya, and saw that she was staring intently at a Gesang flower that was in full bloom, unaware of the chaos around her.
In the breeze, yellow Gesang flowers bloomed all over the grassland.
The glamorous but not delicate Gesang flower has always been regarded as a holy flower by the grassland peoples, and it is the divine flower of the grassland.
This is goodbye, and Efuya is also inseparable from her homeland.
Zhang Qian sighed in his heart, he gently hugged Eveya, reached out and picked a Gesang flower and put it on her head.
Eveya smiled, and she asked her husband, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Zhang Qian nodded affirmatively, and Eveya's smile became even sweeter, but tears flashed at the corners of her eyes.
Zhang Qian wanted to say something to comfort her, but Efuya pulled him up and urged: "We have to leave quickly, the royal court will have to send people to arrest us." ”
Two families, two horses, became a moving black dot under the blue sky and white clouds again.
Eveya's song floated softly across the grassland, like a heavenly sound.
"Who brings the flock, drive it up to heaven?
Who gives the blue sky, sprinkled with starlight.
Who gives the sound of the piano, puts wings.
Whose horses pass by my yurt.
…………
Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain.
The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses.
…………
A thousand miles of horses without borders
…………”
Zhang Qian listened very carefully, and he knew that this was the last time Efuya could sing the Xiongnu song so freely.
After hearing this, his eyes were already red.
Efuya sang her favorite song several times in the Hun dialect before finally stopping.
She hugged her son, grabbed her husband's shirt and whispered: "Give me a Han family name, I like the kind of weeping willow you say, I will be surnamed Liu." ”
Zhang Qian didn't look back, only nodded on horseback, and only replied to his wife in a hoarse voice for a long time: "It's the same, so is Liu." Good no good? ”
Efuya smiled and pronounced the name, but the tears in her eyes could not be held back any longer.
After following her husband seriously for a year of studying Han culture, she has awakened to her husband's deep meaning.
He understood her worries about the road ahead, and he understood her apprehensions.
He told her by name that even though she was of a different race, she was still my wife.
*****
Su Su tidbits are late, and Fei Fei is light.
Unconsciously, it has reached the middle of spring, and the weather is so good that people are reluctant to rest for lunch.
The blue sky is as intoxicating as the quiet sea, there is not a single cloud to be found in the sky, and the golden sun shines with thousands of dazzling white rays.
The wind is light, the sun is warm, and the light fragrance of flowers is wafting in the air.
The verandah of the greenhouse hall is full of flower pots from the four blessings, which are already blooming and lively.
Yuan Wei is a lover of flowers, and Gillian is also a lover of flowers, and the mother and daughter are in a good mood when they see this full of flowers.
Liu Che said with a smile, as if the spring light of Chang'an has gathered in this court.
He looked at the mother and daughter who were smiling more than Huajiao, and he was in a very good mood, and when he opened his mouth, he called for four blessings.
Chuntuo couldn't help but be a little jealous of Sifu's good life, this is an honest man, if he doesn't have any scheming, he will plant flowers.
But I can't stand the good luck of others, the queen loves flowers, and the eldest princess also loves flowers.
Chuntuo sighed, remembering that Yang proudly told him that in the early years, everyone had a life, and he really had to believe it.
He retracted his mind and looked at the emperor and queen who taught the eldest princess Yuan Shu to walk in the court.
The eldest princess of Yuanhui has an impatient temperament and always has to walk with two feet.
One and a half years old and still can't walk, so His Majesty, who told the queen that the child will naturally be when he is older, also began to be anxious.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do this afternoon, the emperor and queen both taught the eldest princess to walk in the court.
As for the little prince, he was already running smoothly in the court, and the snow lion followed him in front and behind, causing the little prince to run out of breath.
When the eldest princess saw her brother playing with the snow lion, she became more and more impatient, and she didn't want to study hard at all.
"Right...... Don't move...... Why do you want to move the two of them together......"
The queen also had some temperament, glared at His Majesty, whispered that she didn't know what to say, and sent the eldest princess of Yuanhui to His Majesty's arms.
His Majesty took over the eldest princess of Yuan Xuan in amazement, and was not angry, and patiently taught her to walk.
"Come on...... Move your left foot first......"
Chuntuo stood aside and watched for more than an hour, seeing that the eldest princess of Yuan Xuan was about to get impatient again, and knew that today was just going to be in vain.
He couldn't help but wonder a little, where did the eldest princess of Yuanyu come from with such a stubborn and impatient appearance?
His Majesty has a bad temper, but he is not impatient, and he is the most able to sink his heart in the first place.
Although the queen has a little temper, she is not arrogant and short-tempered.
Liu Che is also thinking about this question, why is Yuan Hui so tough?
It's not that she doesn't understand what they teach her, but she just sticks to what she believes in, and she just thinks that she can run directly with two feet together.
Hui'er happily ran to her father with small steps, and stretched out her hand to hug her.
Liu Che also had a headache with Yuan Xuanzheng, and was about to hug him when he saw his son, but Hui'er changed his mind again.
He stretched out his hand to his sister who was pouting and losing his temper, and patted the snow lion's leg behind him, signaling her not to let the nurse hold her, and come down to play with the snow lion.
