"Childe, childe, Mrs. is about to give birth" A small guy came running from afar, waving his hand constantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I was sitting in a small pavilion next to an avenue resting, feeling a little confused in my thoughts, how could I be here, a memory gradually came to my mind. I am a native of Puyang County, Baiyun County, and now it is the triennial imperial examination, and I am the Xiucai who entered Beijing to take the exam, and my surname is Ye Mingnian.
I put down the book in my hand and listened to the words of the visitor, and another memory came to my mind, "By the way, calculate the time, the lady is about to give birth in the past two days." ”
The little guy stopped the carriage, ran towards me in small steps, panted and said, "Young master, Madame is about to give birth, you go back and take a look, this imperial examination will be completed next time." ”
I put away the book in my hand, put the basket on my back and continued on the road, and the little servant stepped out of the carriage. Lead the horse, constantly following behind me. I felt inexplicably upset in my heart, always feeling that something was wrong, but I didn't think about it carefully.
"No, I'm almost in the capital, the imperial examination will start in three days, and I will definitely be able to top the high school this time." Let the lady wait for me at home, I have made up my mind, you don't want to stop me" I couldn't help but speed up a little bit as I moved forward. Originally, I wanted to go home, but I couldn't help but say this, the little guy kept calling behind me, but I didn't react, as if I was hard-hearted.
At last I arrived in the capital after dark, and the little servant finally gave up persuading me to go home, and drove back in a carriage. Looking at his back, I instinctively felt that something was wrong, what I thought and did in my heart, and the actions I made seemed to be arranged, and the voice in my heart told me that I could only do this.
When I entered the capital, everyone came and went, and I found an inn to stay in before it was completely dark, and the imperial examination was held three days later.
On the first day, let Xiao Er send some food to the room and study hard behind closed doors.
On the second day, I felt a little depressed, I had no intention of studying, and walked on the streets of the capital to play and relax, but I saw a beautiful woman shopping there, surrounded by rich children. I found someone along the way and asked, "Little brother, who is that?" ”
Passers-by looked at it and said: "You don't know this, the most beloved youngest daughter of the Ming Wangfu Ming Wang, "Zhaoyang County Lord", is 16 years old this year, and has been Xu Match's family so far, I heard that the Ming King once said that no matter who the Zhaoyang County Lord fancies, no matter who he likes, he can be the son-in-law of the palace. ”
"I see, thank you, little brother," I thanked the man, and turned to leave. I stayed in this kind of lively place for a short time, and when I saw the county lord of Zhaoyang, I instinctively felt something.
Call!
A gust of wind blew, and I had just taken two steps and a fragrant wind struck, and a silk scarf crossed my head and fell into my hand. The silk scarf exudes a faint fragrance, a orchid blooms on the silk scarf, embroidered lifelike, if the orchid really blooms on the silk scarf, it is obviously from the embroidery master.
When I saw this orchid, I suddenly thought of my wife who gave birth at home, and I didn't know whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, and she loved orchids the most. Thinking of this, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"This is mine," cried a woman behind me, her voice like a nightingale, crisp and melodious, waking me up from my reply. The moment I turned around, I met a pair of autumn eyes, and I saw the girl laughing, and a hint of crimson flashed on her cheeks.
I stretched out my hand, handed the silk scarf to the girl, and said, "I'm sorry, I just saw this orchid, I thought of some of the past, I didn't deliberately take the girl's things, and I looked at Haihan if I was offended." ”
"Hmm" The county lord of Zhaoyang subconsciously took the silk scarf, I smiled kindly, and turned my head and walked towards the inn.
I couldn't help but think of Tang Yanqian, a literati in the Tang Dynasty, who wrote "Yunqi bamboo trees are very lush and full of orchids", and unconsciously whispered: "The mountain paths are soothing, and the sound of the stream is heard everywhere." The bamboo is deep and cloudy, and the wood is dry and cloudy. Lean on the threshold to listen to the birds, climb the cliff and pick different fragrances. Shaohua is halfway through spring, and everything is thriving. ”
Walking all the way back to the inn, he had no intention of reading, so he prepared a roll of blank paper on the stage, but his thoughts wandered out of the world. When I came back to my senses, I saw a woman painted on the white paper, it was the lord of Chaoyang, and an orchid bloomed on the side, setting off a fresh and elegant atmosphere.
The hand unconsciously touched the painting, and the figure of his wife flashed in his mind, grabbed the painting, grabbed it in three or two strokes, and threw it aside. Clapping your cheeks with both hands, trying to restrain your thoughts. I don't have the heart to read after dinner, so it's better to go to bed early and have a good rest.
At night, there was a call in my ears "Nian Lang, Nian Lang". A woman's soft, soft voice grew clearer and clearer, and I opened my eyes. I saw a woman sitting on the edge of the bed in plain clothes, her face was a little pale, but it revealed another kind of elegance and refinement.
"Nian Lang, may you be well," the woman said, a stream of blood flowed from her body, and her figure began to fade away.
"Nian Lang..."
"Qiu Niang" I exclaimed, I woke up from the dream, and cold sweat broke out on my body, how was Qiu Niang covered in blood just now. A feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I washed up and picked up the book but couldn't read it.
Creak!
The door was opened, Xiao Er walked in with the food, and said, "The guest officer is still studying, the food is here, it's not good if it's cold." ”
Put down the book, but there is no appetite in the mouth, and the mind is full of Qiu Niang, that dream is because...
Xiao Er put all the food on the table and was about to go out, I opened my mouth and asked, "Xiao Er, I want to ask, is there any place to relax around here, I am bored from reading today, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
Xiao Er thought for a long time and said: "There is a temple on the ancient road outside the city, it is the season of peach blossoms, many literati love to enjoy the flowers, some candidates will also go, pray for the title of the gold list, the son may wish to go and see." ”
"Thank you" After I thanked him, Xiao Er also withdrew from the room, now in the rainy season, I have to prepare well.
With a basket on his back and an oil-paper umbrella, he went downstairs to the door of the inn. Before leaving, Xiao Er ran and said, "Wait a minute, the guest officer just cared about telling you where to go, and forgot to say the distance." ”
Xiao Er pulled me, walked on the street, pointed in a direction and said: "From here out, it is the south gate of the ancient city, there is a road up the mountain outside the door, where is there a plank road up the mountain." ”
I politely said, "Thank you." ”
"The guest officer is good"
Following the route that Xiao Er said, out of the south gate, many people went up the mountain along the ancient plank road, many of them were dressed like me and rushed to take the exam. The scenery along the road is beautiful, but I also feel much better, and I know in my heart that it is not okay to read dead books, and I have to use them flexibly after reading, and I have to wait for another three years if I fail the imperial examination.
After walking up the mountain for a long time, I saw a large area of pink in the middle of the mountain, where should it be a peach blossom forest. I couldn't help but speed up the pace, the ethereal atmosphere in the mountains made people feel refreshed, and the troubles in their hearts disappeared at this moment, no wonder many literati loved to travel.
I took out the bamboo tube from my backpack and took some mountain spring water from the mountain spring on the side of the road, which was cool and sweet. Looking at his reflection in the water, his black hair is on the top of his head, a wooden hairpin is fixed, and his delicate face is reflected in the pool, reflecting a perfect side face, which has a bit of the temperament of a child. Walk into the peach blossom forest, put the basket aside, enjoy the peach blossoms in the forest, there are many kinds of flowers in the forest, is it a few bees flying out of the flowers.
"Hey, it's a coincidence that why are you here" A female voice sounded behind her, which sounded a little familiar. Turning my head to look, it was the county lord of Zhaoyang, and I greeted: "Hello county lord, I didn't expect to meet again." ”
The county lord of Zhaoyang turned red, and the little girl on the side spoke: "The son has appeared, but the county lord of our family is to you..." ”
"Xiao Tao, don't say it" The county lord of Zhaoyang's face became redder and redder, and there was a hint of shyness in his eyes, but he didn't refute it.
I waved my hand and said, "I'm sorry for the county lord, I already have a wife in the next place, thank you for the good intentions, and I will say goodbye in the next place." ”
The maid kept calling, and I didn't listen carefully, and listening to it only added to my troubles.
Walking towards the depths of the peach blossom forest, all the way up the mountain, I didn't dare to look back at the Zhaoyang County Lord. Gradually going deeper along the peach blossom forest, I saw a small temple, and many people walked towards the temple. Watching everyone burn incense and worship, I sighed in front of the door, the appearance of the county lord of Zhaoyang did not make my mood better, but a little more upset. If you don't worship sincerely, you won't be blessed, so let's go down the mountain.
"That little brother, do you want to come over and drink a glass of water and wine, the peach blossom wine made in the spring last year" An old man sat on the edge of the peach blossom forest, with wine glasses placed on the stone platform, drank by himself, poured water and wine and raised a glass to me and said.
I walked to the stone table, thought that it would be good to have a drink now, and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man." ”
"What's the trouble, look at your sigh, but it's because of this imperial examination," the old man asked.
I took a sip of peach blossom wine, it was indeed a good wine, the color was ruddy and clear, the taste was mellow and sweet, I couldn't help but say: "I have many thoughts, but I always feel that there are small things that don't need to be bothered, but I often think about them." ”
"A lot of small things are just small things before they become big things, and if they become big things, it's not so simple for you to solve them," said the old man, revealing a wise temperament as he spoke.
I felt that I had seen through my thoughts, and I couldn't help but be a little panicked, so I hurriedly finished drinking and said politely: "Thank you for the water and wine, and I will retire next." ”
Although it was a bit rude, I didn't like the feeling of being seen through, and I was like a blank sheet of paper in front of the old man, and all my thoughts were understood by him. After thinking about it carefully, what the old man said also has some truth in it.
I had just taken two steps when the old man said aloud: "Pay attention to the details, handle the matter, and be worthy of your heart." “
