Chapter Fifty-Six: The Clouds and the Moon Are Indistinguishable

Miaoyu looked at the flames outside the cabin, and Wu Sangui was so anxious that he jumped like thunder and smiled coldly.

She told the lame Taoist priest that she was just a princess, and she didn't know where she came from, in fact, she remembered everything that happened to her, she remembered that Emperor Chongzhen cut off her sister's arm, she remembered that the lame Taoist priest took her away from the palace all the way, remembered that the Qing army pressed the border to hunt down her and several elder brothers, remembered that her half-brother was killed by the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and remembered that she broke her liver and intestines outside the execution ground on the day the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Nine Kings. I remember that after escaping from the Hengwang Mansion, for his own safety, the lame Taoist priest led away Liu Liangzuo's pursuers, and there was no news after that. He was taken in by his sister-in-law, and he became a tool for Yucuian to make money externally. A sixteen-year-old girl, in the face of such a life, she can only be cold. Wrap yourself in an icy crust. But in this coldness, she opened her heart to Lin Daiyu, Daiyu Xiangyun, a partner who was born and died together when she was a girl, understood her character, Xiangyun and her still had quarrels from time to time, only Daiyu, although she was young, she always had a friendship with herself. She knew she was in pain when it happened last night, but there was someone who must have been just as uncomfortable as she was. Good sister. She looked at the full moon on the river after the artillery fire calmed down, yesterday was a moon and a half, is this moon the same as yesterday's?

Yesterday I knew the excitement of the Grand View Garden, because Baochai was afraid that she would be lonely, so she sent some wine and food, and in the evening she wanted to thank Baochai, who was passing from Huashu, but saw Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu on the shore of the couplet, Shi Xiangyun was very happy to see her, and said Sister Miaoyu, come and join us in the couplet. Daiyu smiled: "Yun Yatou has slept enough in this peony bush in the afternoon, and this will be a great poetry." It doesn't matter if people haven't rested today, pull me to accompany her. ”

Shi Xiangyun smiled: "Tomorrow, the Wei family is going to pick me up, but I can't come often in the future, Sister Bao went to bed strangely early today, saying that she was going to be drafted tomorrow, and she didn't let me accompany her, I only grabbed Sister Lin, and I wasn't allowed to sleep tonight, and I went crazy with me." ”

Daiyu laughed: "Seriously, this girl is crazy, Sister Miao helps me deal with her." We're all going to wake up early tomorrow, and I can't afford to be with her. ”

"If you don't accompany me, I'll go to Sister Bao." Daiyu said: "That's it, even if I'm afraid of you, Sister Bao is really not available today." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Hmph, I just want to be the imperial concubine, I'm afraid that I won't look good if I sleep." ”

Daiyu said: "Yun girl, don't talk nonsense, everyone has their own difficulties, she used to keep you to live with her, today must have her own affairs, you can make a good connection, don't lose to me." ”

Miaoyu said: "I was going to go to her, so it seems that it is inconvenient for me to go today." Why don't you go to my temple, and Miss Lin and I will alternate with the crazy girl. ”

Daiyu said: "It's better to be in my Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the three of them can still rest." You can ask the girls to get some snacks. ”

Miaoyu said: "Where will you let us enjoy the girl's mother, it's better for me to let the two sisters-in-law sleep, no one cares, the whole Lucui Nunnery is our world." ”

Shi Xiangyun laughed: "The three heroes and girls are making trouble in Lucui'an, this is not bad, there are three heroes and five righteousness." ”

Daiyu chuckled and said, "Good Zhanzhao"

Shi Xiangyun was happy, "I like Zhanzhao the most, Sister Lin really knows my heart." Miaoyu smiled: "You are Zhanzhao, Sister Lin is Bao Zheng, if this Bao Zheng grows into his sister, then he is not the first judge of the ages, but the first beauty of the ages." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: The word judge is also novel, what is the source.

Daiyu laughed: It is the book of the Legalists of the Warring States Period, "The Book of Shang Jun, Dingfen", but it is not used much by later generations. There are many translations of this in John Tong's books. Miaoyu smiled: "This Mr. Tang, I saw it in the harem this time, he looks so curious, his hair is silver, and there are big curls, and the Beijing accent he said is very positive, just like a sliding wheel." I didn't know he had written such a good book. Daiyu smiled: "You don't know, these books are the rewards that Baoyu and Mingyan asked for from the emperor, let me see them." Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin doesn't like the things that Shitu economics asks the most, how to read this book by John Tang. Daiyu said with a smile: "Those eight-strand articles, naturally, I can't like them, but astronomy, geography, history, and medicine are very wonderful, and Westerners have other ways to study them." Sometimes it's fascinating to think about. ”

Shi Xiangyun laughed: "This erudite and strong memory is you, except for Sister Bao, no one can compare with you." ”

Daiyu smiled: "How can I be stronger than her, she remembers the smallest things the most, I only remember the big picture." Daiyu remembered that she had gotten this book by John Tang, but there was a little story. It turned out that the little emperor wanted to provide disaster relief a few years ago, because a group of princes blocked it, the emperor could not find support, and also came to the temple to find Baoyu, it happened that day Baoyu pulled her to drink tea here in Miaoyu, the little emperor Fulin said this, seeing that the little emperor was worried, Baoyu was also worried and sweaty, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to Baoyu: "Look at your urgency, the sweat has come out, and it is not difficult to find someone to help." Both of them asked her what she had to do, and Baoyu was even more anxious to grab her sleeve, because Miaoyu was there, she was ashamed, shook off her hand and said: "People don't want to help the emperor speak, the sky can speak to people, your prime minister is in charge of the observatory, if you make something different, naturally someone will support it." Fu Lin had a slight realization in his heart. Clapped his hands and said: Let's go find John Tang. Baoyu asked again and again, but he didn't have a brain, but when he heard that he went to find Tang Ruowang, he was overjoyed and asked Daiyu and Miaoyu to go together, Jian Daiyu's face changed, and he said coldly: If you want to go to you, I can't get out of this high wall. I was stunned for a moment, and remembered that Daiyu seemed to have another reason, so I had to let Miaoyu and Fu Lin go. As soon as they left, Daiyu saw that Baoyu was sullen, and sneered: "You will forget all about what you said on weekdays, and when you see this brother, you forget your sister, how do you let the emperor know the identity of me and Sister Miao, be careful that your family is not peaceful." "As long as you're afraid, I see that Sister Miao is not afraid at all, so I'll go. If she talks to the emperor about you, you can't hide it, and I can't see your strength in hiding. Daiyu saw that he was really annoyed, smiled, stretched out his hand to pull him, and crossed the wall, Baoyu only felt that the clouds were in the fog, and stumbled: "Let me down" Daiyu smiled: It turns out that you are so useless, and the little light skill you taught you has been returned to the master. Baoyu remembered the old things in Jinshan Temple, and immediately became extremely happy again, and followed Daiyu to ride a white horse and roar away. This night, the observatory was red to the sky, and all the civil and military officials were awakened, but they saw a piece of white silk thrown in the sky, and the Queen Mother saw a picture of a woman who was cutting meat to feed a bird. Let Tang Ruowang come to see, and the prime minister said: This is to ask the Queen Mother to open a warehouse for disaster relief. No one would have thought that this was a trap set by Baoyu Daiyu and Tang Ruowang. As a result, Baoyu got this set of treasures from John Tang.

The three of them came to the Kutsui Nunnery, but when they entered the house, they saw that there were a number of colored boxes piled up outside the meditation room, and Miaoyu didn't pay attention, but Daiyu took a look at it carefully. Miaoyu pulled the two into her room, but saw a few plates of snacks and fruits on the table, which were rare things in Beijing.

"Who sent this?"

Nizi said: "It was the king of Pingxi who came over in the afternoon, waited for the layman here for an afternoon, and asked people to prepare snacks, saying that he was going to leave tomorrow, and he had something to say to the layman." ”

"He didn't say what it was."

"Didn't say anything, just put some gifts in the vestibule." The three of them saw that the flame of the niche was still green, and the incense of the furnace was not embered. Several old ladies also slept, and only the little maid was dozing on the futon. Miaoyu called him up and went to make tea.

Miaoyu let the laughing maid get tea. Let the girl sleep by herself, and don't come and disturb them. The three of them chose the rhyme, but it was the limit of thirteen yuan, and Daiyu started the sentence

In the middle of March and May, Xiangyun thought about it and said:

Qingyou intends to go to the yuan. Scattering the sky and fighting can, Lin Daiyu smiled:

The ramps are complicated. A few crazy flying lamps, Xiangyun smiled: "This sentence 'a few crazy flying lamps' has some meaning. This reminds me of the Luoying swordsmanship you told me last time, and it seems that there is this sentence in it.

Who doesn't open the house. The light cold wind cut and cut, Daiyu said: "It's better than mine, how is it a couplet in kung fu, do you want to couplet or practice martial arts" Xiangyun said: "The poem has a lot of rhyme, and it should also be laid out. There are good ones in the formula, and they will be kept for later. Daiyu smiled: "There is no good one in the future, I see if you are ashamed." "Inlink said:

Good night view. Fighting for cakes and mocking the yellow hair, Xiangyun smiled: "This sentence is not good, you made it up, and you used mundane things to make it difficult for me." Daiyu smiled: "I said you have never seen a book. Eating bread is an old classic, Tang Shu Tang Zhi, you will talk about it after reading it. Xiangyun smiled: "This doesn't bother me, I have it too." "Inlink said:

"Divide and laugh. Xiang Xinrong Cinnamon," Daiyu smiled: "You really made it up to divide the melon." Xiangyun said with a smile: "The world is in chaos, and it is impossible to say that it is divided." "Miaoyu, you also connect.

Miaoyu smiled: "You two fight first, I have to change into home-cooked clothes." ”

"Don't delay your work." Daiyu laughed, and was about to make a couplet, when she suddenly heard that Miaoyu seemed to have knocked over something in the inner room, Daiyu flew over, but saw a few masked people, grabbed Miaoyu, and was about to stuff it into a cloth bag. Daiyu hurriedly threw the candlestick in the room, and the candle oil splashed the man's face. Daiyu grabbed the candlestick and fought with them. These people's martial arts are not weak, and their light skills are also very good, the room is small, but they haven't touched anything, obviously they don't want anyone to know. Daiyu immediately understood their intentions, and regardless of it, Ping Pong Chang deliberately made a big move.

Xiangyun hurriedly went to help Miaoyu, and saw that two people on the other side rushed over to grab Miaoyu, and he was anxious, but he was so bare that he hurriedly called Sister Lin. Daiyu smiled, kicked up a stool to block the man, and pulled out the sword of a person next to him and threw it to Xiangyun. Miaoyu also struggled to get up at this time.

"No, Sister Lin, I don't know how to use a sword."

Daiyu smiled, "Why did you forget the Luoying swordsmanship you just learned the day before yesterday." ”

"You only taught me a few formulas" "It's not the right time to use it," Daiyu laughed

"Se Jian Mao Jin Xuan. Candle Hui Qiong Banquet, look, you are like me, and the style of toasting the sword towards the door is this trick. ”

Xiangyun said with a smile: "Does the word 'Jin Xuan' save effort?"

Daiyu said: "No, it's exactly what it means." Just be strong and don't swing around. ”

Xiangyun was given a sword by Daiyu in his hand, and it turned out that Daiyu had another person.

Xiangyun said: "I have these two iron guys, but where can I beat people." ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "You stupid girl, the sword qi is laid out with some richness, and the sword edge has a real point, the two swords can be combined and divided, and the heart can be used for two purposes, I don't know this way of playing, I have taught you for so long in vain." ”

Xiangyun tried and tried again, and it worked. Happy and connected:

"Messing up the garden. Divide Cao Zun's order," Daiyu smiled: "Fortunately, you remember this mantra quickly, the sword goes to the center, disassemble the two, and concentrate on one place"

Because he thought about it, he said:

"Shoot and listen to the three Xuan. "Throw the dim sum on the plate on the offering table at the three masked men, whose eyes are covered by the dim sum and become flowery." Xiangyun smiled: "It turns out that this is my sister's dice skill, and it can also be used here." ”

"Spread the flower drum and make a lot of noise. Qingguang shook the courtyard," Xiangyun had an idea, and knocked the vase and drum on the offering table directly to the lips of one person. The man squatted down in pain and covered his mouth.

Daiyu smiled: "This can be used lively, the next sentence slipped again, your sword light is so scattered, and then try a little more to suit your poetry" Xiangyun said: "I'm a little hungry here, put down a sword, stuff that snack in my mouth a little, and use the rest as a secret weapon to beat people." Miaoyu couldn't help but smile when she saw these two people like this, and she went to use it to whisk the dust to participate in the battle.

"Su Cai picks up the world. Reward and punish no guest host," Daiyu wrapped the ribbon in the room around a person's hands and feet, and hung the person on the roof, Xiangyun applauded: "It's time." "Nailiandao:

"More remnants of joy have been. Gradually hearing the silence, "Use a cloth to stuff the mouth of one of the people in uniform."

Daiyu said: "At this time, Hou Ke knows that one step is as difficult as one step. "Inlink said:

"There are snow and frost marks left. "One person was pointed."

Xiangyun smiled: "How to rhyme with this sentence, let me think about it." Because he got up and took his hand, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Enough, fortunately I came up with a word, and I almost failed." "Inlink said:

"The silver toad is angry. The medicine is pounded by the spirit rabbit," Daiyu nodded silently, seeing that Shi Xiangyun had tried this trick, and said casually for a long time:

"People run to the cold. Guilty of fighting and inviting the bull girl," the two fought and said, Xiangyun also nodded at the moon, and said:

"Wait for the emperor's grandson. The void is uncertain," Daiyu said with a smile: "I use the comparison again, forget the emperor word in my heart, and let go of the heart to make progress." Miaoyu said: "This sentence really speaks to my heart." ”

One of them took advantage of their unpreparedness and jumped out of the window to escape. The two chased to the window,

I saw a loud sound in the dark shadow, but a big white crane flew up and flew straight towards the lotus lotus champs.

Daiyu smiled: "This person has come and gone like a white crane, how can he be so familiar."

Pondering on your own. Xiangyun smiled: "This crane is interesting, it has helped me." "Inlink said:

"The windows are dimmed. Hantang crosses the crane shadow," Lin Daiyu heard this, applauded again, stomped his feet again, and said: "It's amazing, this crane really helped him!" Couplet, you win. This sentence is so natural, so ready-made, so beautiful and fresh, I have to put down my pen. Xiangyun said with a smile: "You put aside your sword then, and today you are fighting and coupling, it's really hard" Daiyu only looked at the sky, ignored him, and suddenly smiled for a long time: "You don't have to say anything, I have it too, you listen." "Because of the right word:

"Cold Moon Buries Flower Souls." Xiangyun clapped his hands and praised: "It's really good! Otherwise, it can't be right. What a 'funeral flower soul'! Because he sighed again: "The poem is novel, but it is too depressed. You are sick now, and you should not make such a strange and treacherous statement. Daiyu smiled: "How can I overwhelm you if I don't do this. The next sentence hasn't been obtained yet, just for the employment in this sentence. ”

Before she could say a word, Miaoyu smiled and said, "Good poetry, good poetry, it's really too sad. There is no need to go down, if you only go like this at the bottom, you won't show these two sentences, but I think it's far-fetched. Seeing Miaoyu's spirit, the two laughed, and said that who will tie you up, you don't go to divinate a hexagram, but care about my two sentences, and interrogate the tied person carefully, and they were startled when they asked, but it turned out that Wu Sangui asked them to pick up Miaoyu.

"This old puppet," Shi Xiangyun was angry, "such a big traitor who is almost forty has come to kidnap a little girl in her teens." ”

Suddenly he heard a knock at the door, and hurriedly stuffed the man into the cupboard. When the little maid hurriedly opened the door to look, it was Zijuan and a few old grandmothers who came to find his sisters. When they came in and saw that they were eating tea, they all smiled and said, "If we want to find it easily, we have walked all over the garden, and even my aunt and wife have found it. It turns out that it is really here. Miaoyu was busy with the little maid and led them over there to sit and rest and eat tea.

He took out the pen and inkstone, and read the poem of Fang Cai, and then wrote it from the beginning. Daiyu saw that he was very happy today, so she smiled and said, "I have never seen you so happy. I don't dare to ask for advice abruptly, but whether we are swordsmanship or couplets, why don't you do the last paragraph. Miaoyu smiled, I remembered the sentence behind Luo Ying's swordsmanship, plus my dusty notes, so I picked up the pen and waved it, and handed it to him and the two of them: "Don't want to see a smile. I have to

Incense seal pins golden tripod, greasy jade pot.

The dew is more slippery, and the frost is heavy.......

Zhenlin thousand tree birds, crying valley ape.

Forget the path, the spring knows the source.

Zhong Ming Cui Temple, chicken singing Daoxiang Village.

There is joy and sorrow, and there is no sorrow.

Fang Qing only self-sufficiency, who to say to the taste.

Later book: "Thirty-five Rhymes of Xiangyun Dancing Sword Instant Couplet in the History of the Grand View Garden".

Daiyu laughed: It can't be called Shi Xiangyun dancing the sword, it must be changed to Mrs. Ruolan's sword dancing couplet with thirty-five rhymes.

At this time, the rooster crowed, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Xiangyun Gege laughed. "After all, you stayed with me all night."

Daiyu was about to hand over these people to the old lady of the Lucui'an to punish the crime, but she saw a few people with crossbows and swords and halberds to guard the Lucui'an, and a person walked in with a stern face, followed by several generals and eunuchs. But it was Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and the eunuch Xiaobao, Xiaobao passed the decree: "The emperor's edict said, and the Miaoyu of the Lucui'an received the decree: The king of Pingxi is the pillar of our society, and he has fought in the north and south, and has made many military exploits; Miaoyu was born different, and she was the princess of Pingxi, named Concubine Jingde, and from now on she went to western Sichuan with the king of Pingxi, looking forward to the meritorious service of the thief. ”

Miaoyu stood and didn't move, but Wu Sangui had already knelt down. He laughed, "You don't want your friends to help me fight." My army is guarding the gate outside the temple, and you won't let this mansion suffer a catastrophe. ”

Everyone was solemn, except for Daiyu Shi Xiangyun, they all knelt down together. Miaoyu slowly knelt down. Shi Xiangyun burst into tears. Daiyu took a step back, only to feel that she couldn't catch it in one breath, and spit out a mouthful of blood. Zijuan hurriedly helped her into the room. It turned out that Daiyu's injuries and poison had not been perfect, and she had a hard fight tonight, but she got such a result, so she naturally couldn't stand it. Miaoyu looked at Daiyu and was very distressed. I can't be stubborn, how to give up Daiyu Xiangyun sisters, and I'm afraid that they will be affected, seeing the army pressing, thousands of people are guarding the door, lighting the torches, and lighting a cui nunnery like daylight, I am dressed in plain clothes, walking in it, behind Daiyu I don't know if it is dumb, and finally can't help but turn back, but see Daiyu sitting on the embroidery stool brought by Zijuan, already soft, that Shi Xiangyun cried like a tearful person.

Miaoyu thought of this, thinking of being forced to get married by this person on the boat, and she couldn't beg for death, but she felt that all thoughts were lost. Seeing that Wu Sangui's military salary was stolen from the ship, he was annoyed there, and said in his heart: "You have ruined the Han family's country and ruined me, as long as there is an opportunity, don't blame me for ruining you." With a breath of blood, he smiled coldly. Wu Sangui saw her sitting on the bow of the boat alone, and slowly paced over.
