Chapter 12: Parting
After a few days of quiet, I gradually forgot the episode of that day, and life returned to turbulence.
Although I don't know who is secretly defending himself, since that person does not show up, he can certainly endure his curiosity.
On the side of Willow Garden, it is full of spring.
What is rare is that between Mrs. Zhu and King Xun, the ice that has been raging for many years has gradually melted, which makes Ran quite gratified.
Since that visit to Willow Garden, King Xun will go to Willow Garden every three or five days. Huan'er didn't come with him, it is said that he has something at home, and now he has left Sanyang Town. I originally wanted to thank Aunt Wang in person, but now that I have left, I have to give up, but I feel a little regretful in my heart, after all, I owe him a lot of favors.
And when King Xun came, Mrs. Zhu often pulled Ran to accompany her, which was really stuffy.
These two lovers, who have been stumbling for many years, did not take the opportunity to complain about their affection, but did something irrelevant. In the previous life, although he was proficient in chess, he didn't know anything about the way of black and white.
However, King Xun and Mrs. Zhu are still used to being silent when they play against each other, so no one can guide her at all. In fact, I didn't know that King Xun and Mrs. Zhu had already seen her boredom, and every time she secretly hid her face and yawned, the two people who played the game unconsciously quietly snickered.
Sitting on the sidelines, it was actually an important concoction between King Xun and Mrs. Zhu. If it weren't for her, these two people would still be twisting and twisting, and I don't know when they will be able to really break the deep estrangement that has lasted for more than ten years.
After a long time, King Xun and Mrs. Zhu couldn't bear to play tricks on such a child after all, so King Xun simply forcibly accepted Ran as his apprentice and taught her to play.
But in just a few days, the clear qualifications made King Xun secretly frightened. I saw that at the beginning, it was clear that the children were still out of order from time to time, and they were even suspected of falling off willingly. But after a few times, it gradually did not leak, and often came up with unexpected tricks. King Xun considered himself a veteran in chess, and he had to deal with it calmly.
In fact, although he first knew Go, he had put a lot of effort into studying chess in his previous life, and even familiarized himself with the art of war such as the Thirty-six Strategies, and encirclement, pursuit, and interception was his forte. Now that he is familiar with the rules of Go, he quickly feels that the principles of chess are compatible, so he unconsciously uses the ingenuity of playing chess in the previous life, and then from time to time he plays some ways of the art of war.
The well-known Dong Xiao skills have also been instructed by King Xun, and they have made considerable progress. King Xun chatted with Mrs. Zhu in private, and often praised Ran Ran's talent, and his skillful playing was just a matter of time, but the artistic conception in his flute sound was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Although the two Xun Wang are now only nearly unconfused, after all, they have been lonely for a long time, and their conscious mentality is ten years old. Now with such a highly talented child by his side, he unconsciously stirred up the old heart again, and each other felt that life was a little more vigorous, and it was quite a feeling of returning to the earth in spring.
By the way, the two of them also cherished it very much. Not parents, but already have the love of parents. The two of them will never cherish themselves, and they are willing to teach each other their talents.
In addition, although there are often idle people such as Ran in the middle, it is obvious that the knot that has been circling the hearts of Mrs. Zhu and King Xun for many years has gradually opened. Now the ensemble of the two of them has the meaning of a blind date between the mountains and the flowing water, the piano and the song, the heart is harmonious, and the heart is warm.
And there is another person, who has only seen two sides before, but he has inadvertently integrated into Ran's life little by little. Although Huan'er has never appeared again, he will send someone to Ran to send some gadgets every once in a while, which is said to be exchanged for him when he walked around the place, and gave Ran a relief from boredom.
The person who came never left a reply address, and he couldn't say thank you to Huan'er, so he didn't care anymore, just as it was a sixteen-year-old boy's care for his sister.
In early summer, one day, just after finishing a lunch break, I heard Bizhu come to spread that Mrs. Bamboo and King Xun were summoned.
As soon as I entered Mrs. Zhu's main house, I was very relieved to see that the two of them were happy in the house, but I never thought that this was the time to part with King Xun and the master.
It turns out that King Xun has gone through these days, and finally put aside the mustard for many years.
Although she was only a twelve-year-old girl, King Xun knew that her talent and mind were different from ordinary people, so he did not regard her as a child, but frankly told him what he thought and felt.
King Xun sighed, since he had already abandoned the throne back then, he had already made a choice, so why should he be cocooned for so many years? not only hurt himself, but also hurt Mrs. Bamboo. Moreover, thinking that he and Liu Zhu are already at this age, they can no longer withstand any trouble. Therefore, King Xun decided not to waste the rest of his life, he wanted to travel around with willow bamboo, ask about the mountains and rivers, and be a pair of fairy couples from now on.
"Your master has also nodded, since we have the same heart, we don't want to delay any longer, and we plan to leave tomorrow." King Xun paused, and then said clearly: "When you talked eloquently in this king's garden that day, you hinted that I had the name of a free prince, but I was actually ashamed of the world. Now that I think about it, that was exactly the case. However, after all, this king is old, and he does not have the ambition to benefit the world back then. But this king also owes it to you, and if I and your master come across something manageable on the way, he will not turn a blind eye. ”
The master and King Xun can finally let go of the fetters for many years and fulfill the promise of "holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son", and of course they are happy for the two. It's just that, after all, I have been with the two of them for many days, and now when I hear the news that I want to separate from them, I feel a little reluctant in my heart.
In fact, I didn't realize that the matter between Mrs. Zhu and King Xun had somewhat affected my attitude towards the relationship between men and women in this life.
I used to have no confidence in human feelings, but now?
That night, I carefully packed a few pieces of clothes that I had sewn for the master for several days, and personally delivered them to Mrs. Zhu as a parting gift. Mrs. Zhu saw the embroidery work on the dress, and knew her mind very much, and was very moved.
"Master, there is a clear sentence, I don't know if I should ask it?" After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to find out the master's mind.
"What?" Mrs. Zhu is now relieved of her sorrows, and her style is very different from the past, and she is very gentle.
"Since the master has decided to be with King Xun for the rest of his life, why not decide on his name first?" After all, in her opinion, the ancients attached great importance to the word name. If Mrs. Zhu cared about this matter, King Xun ignored it, and in any case, she had to ask King Xun about his attitude before they left.
"Silly boy, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful," Madame Bamboo chuckled, "We're no longer young. After suffering for more than ten years, I realized that the things I was obsessed with back then were actually just like a passing cloud. Now that we can travel together and spend the rest of our lives together, we are satisfied, so why do we care about those common names? ”
After listening to the master's words, I knew that now the master has really seen it, and he is also down-to-earth.
However, he never expected that he would not be able to see off the two in the end. The next morning, Bizhu came in and told her that Mrs. Zhu had been picked up by King Xun early in the morning. King Xun instructed that traveling far away was a happy thing, and he didn't want to make each other sad for the parting disciples, so he didn't send it.
Thinking to himself, King Xun and Mrs. Zhu left in a dashing manner, leaving them alone in the willow garden to experience this strange amazement. In fact, how can she know that the current pair of fairy couples is willing to give her?
And Liuyuan, who has been grinding for three years, is about to go to the empty building. Before leaving, King Xun had already arranged a place to go. According to the rules of Yiluo Fang, after the girls learn the arts, they will generally choose a rich and noble family, and worship under the door of dignitaries and nobles as righteous daughters, in fact, it is also to be more decent when they get married in the future.
Now that she has reached the age of twelve, although she is still a little girl in the end, she may be because of a few years of martial arts, her stature is higher, and she seems to be a slim girl, and it is time to worship her father-in-law.
King Xun informed Ran that he decided to travel with Liu Zhu on the day he decided to travel far away, and also explained the candidate for his father-in-law arranged by Ran. In fact, King Xun and Ran got along for many days, and he was very fond of it, and he originally had the intention of personally accepting Ran as a righteous daughter, but considering that he was about to travel far away after all, he might delay Ran, so he considered other candidates.
But King Xun also really put a lot of thought into where to go. It is clear that the father-in-law who will be recognized now used to be a veteran who had a lot of support for King Xun back then, and he is upright, not only brave and witty on the battlefield, but also considerate to his wife and children at home. Entrusting it to him, King Xun is also relieved.
Being able to worship under the gate is very compatible. She is most afraid that she will have to face a sour and rotten literati or an officialdom moth from now on, and when the time comes, how can she shout "father-in-law" against her will?
In fact, if you can choose, you would rather live alone in this already familiar willow garden. The so-called high-ranking families, high-ranking officials and nobles, know that they are not much interested in this. She was an orphan in her last life, although she had parents in this life, she and her mother had only been together for a few days, and her father had never met, so she was not familiar with her parents' affection, nor did she desire it.
What's more, now she only wants to worship her stepparents who are used as temporary pedals, and she doesn't expect to gain much warmth from the two people who are about to meet. Thinking about the days to come, I am afraid that I will have to restrain my true temperament from now on and pursue a life of compromise, so I will have more attachment to Liu Yuan.
But in any case, it is clear that he has no room to control his own destiny now.
As soon as Mrs. Zhu left, she began to pack her luggage and prepare to go to Beijing to meet her father-in-law.
And unexpectedly, it was not only Mrs. Zhu and King Xun who left behind, but now, Mama Yao is also leaving. Although she is always called Mama in name, in her heart, this old woman is a real master. In the past few years, she has done far more than Mrs. Bamboo.
Moreover, it is precisely because Mama Yao taught her martial arts that she has a little more confidence in her heart, and she can face this world that is still very strange today, and her life that may be manipulated by others in the future.
Mama Yao was reluctant to part with Ran, after all, after a few years, this cold-faced grandmother with a cold face had already regarded Ran as her own child.
Although she hoped that Mama Yao could enter Beijing with her, she saw that she seemed to have a great unfinished business in her heart, and she was no longer reluctant, and she only hoped that Mama Yao would be healthy and would see each other again in the future.
"Girl, Mama shouldn't have been raised, but knowing that you are a child who values affection, she said bluntly, if you have the opportunity to go to the old body's hometown in the future, I hope that the girl can come to the door to see the old body, and the old body is also looking forward to the day when the girl will see the girl again." Mama Yao left first.
I heard that Mama Yao's hometown was far away from the local area, and although I was worried about whether she could withstand the fatigue of the journey at her age, she thought that Mama was a martial arts practitioner after all, unlike ordinary old people, so she also forced herself to settle down.
Once upon a time, there was so much concern in my heart? He shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a little warm in his heart. In the last life, she had tasted enough of being alone, and she had more thoughts in this life, and she finally felt that she had not come in vain for a few years, nor had she lived up to this inexplicable life.
On the side of Yiluofang, Bizhu told her after asking for instructions, saying that she didn't need to go to resign, and just go to the capital to meet her father-in-law. There is less red tape, but it is right in the heart, but it also cuts off the opportunity to get together with the sisters who have been thinking about it for several years, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.
The luggage to bring into Beijing is actually very simple, these last few days, Ran and Bizhu have been trying their best to return to the Willow Garden, and they only hope that no matter which Willow Garden people come back in the future, they can feel the same as before.
A few days later, he finally embarked on a journey to Beijing with Bizhu. It's just that there are some mixed tastes in my heart.
