Chapter 155: The Love Torch Turns to Ashes
Cheng Yin had lived here for eight years and was fully adapted to the climate here, so he took the route of the caravan and rushed all the way back to Yumen Pass.
The guard of Yumen Pass has been replaced by an old general to a major general, but his face is still somewhat useful.
"I don't dare to trouble you about anything else, I just want to ask, are there villages and towns around here with a humid climate and abundant water and grass?" Cheng Yin smiled and arched his hand to the guard.
"Huh? What does this do, you ask? The Keeper was a little curious.
"To tell you the truth, I promised someone to give her red flowers, but unfortunately, if it was moved from Chang'an to where she was, it would have already withered...... Only try it at this jade gate. Seung-yin explained with a smile.
"Huh? Flower? Aha, Hou Ye is really leisurely and elegant, which one is this to smile? The guards stroked their palms and laughed, their generals have never thought much about these Fengyue things, and they really can't do this thing of sending flowers thousands of miles away.
Cheng Yin didn't mind his slightly mocking smile, and arched his hand and said: "I wait for men, whether literary or martial, all serve the Tang Dynasty, since we are for the country, there are always things that can't be let go, people who can't be let go...... And had to put it down. ”
"If you can make up for it, you have to give it a try."
He said it sincerely, and the guards were also moved.
Who doesn't have someone they can't let go?
Only when there is no obstacle can we be truly chic...... One. Root. Read. The novel xstxt has a heart, so naturally it can't be put down.
"Hou Ye is also an infatuated lover, okay, let me tell you, in the northeast of Yumen Pass, there is a grassland with abundant water and grass, where some people form villages and towns, and in spring and summer, the grass is full of scattered small flowers, which should be able to plant flowers." The guard casually pointed to the map.
Cheng Yin nodded and said, "I have to rush back to Chang'an to restore my life, and I will send someone to send me to spend money in the coming day, please ask the adults to arrange it for me." ”
"Arrange what?"
"Please ask the people on that side to plant flowers for me, and the flowers planted will be sent to Yumen Pass, and I will take them back at a high price...... After that, I will arrange someone to deal with it, and I will ask the adults to arrange it for me in the early work, and I will be thanked. ”
"Thank you, but I don't need to." The guard touched his chin and said with a smile: "Which beautiful woman is worthy of such a stirring of the Hou Ye?" Xia Guan was quite interested. ”
Cheng Yin smiled and waved his hand, "I don't know yet, and I haven't seen her yet...... Forget it, let's take my leave. ”
“…… Master Hou, please stay. ”
"Huh?"
"Recently...... It's a bit ...... over there in Chang'an Ahem, Master Hou, it's better to plan ahead. ”
Cheng Yin was stunned, over the years, he didn't know anything about Chang'an, every time a caravan came to Yumen Pass, his servants who stayed in Yumen Pass would use some special ways to bring the letter in the cargo.
It is nothing more than Fan Yang's Lord An, who is powerful and wants to do something rebellious, but unfortunately, most people can see that the son of heaven who is high up is mediocre in his old age.
The feeling is also useless, and under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it has also begun to decay.
Chengyin left the servant at Yumen Pass and returned to Chang'an alone.
After eight years of parting, Gao Tang was naturally sad and heartbroken, only the wife from a famous family saluted silently and had no words.
One of his sons and a daughter, all of whom have reached the age of the chief horn, Chengyin appeased them one by one, and returned to the palace the next day to face the saint and resume his life.
The Son of Heaven was in a good mood, gave him many treasures and property, and praised him for not falling into the prestige of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away.
Cheng Yin just smiled and agreed, he saw the prosperity of Chang'an and the extravagance of the palace, and he already had a premonition in his heart.
The prestige of this Tang Dynasty may not last long.
He lived in the study, and he always held the half of the jade huang to play, and the broken edges and corners were actually sharpened by him until they lost their sharpness.
“…… Husband. The gentle woman saluted outside the study.
"Huh? Something? Cheng Yin came back to his senses and looked at her.
“…… It's nothing, but I just feel that my husband has worked hard. ”
Cheng Yin shook his head and said, "It's not hard." ”
"How can it not be hard? Although the husband and you are back, your heart has fallen outside, and this feeling can be experienced by the concubine. The woman smiled brightly and whispered.
How smart is Chengyin? immediately lifted his eyelids and said with a smile: "So, Madame empathizes?" ”
The woman smiled frankly and said, "I am from a famous family, and my husband is also a prince's family, and I will not do anything that insults the family, and the concubine will not do it...... Just like a husband, he can control his own people, but he can't control his own heart. ”
Cheng Yin nodded, "Yes, Madame is a smart woman. ”
"Husband has won the award...... The concubine is just here to comfort her husband. She smiled lightly, "The concubine can't make her own decisions, she can only follow her fate, why is she still trapped in love?" ”
“……”
"The concubine body is not an intolerable person, there were many concubines in the husband, and the concubine body did not have half a color for them and made the husband embarrassed, why didn't the husband bring her back?" She asked with a smile.
Cheng Yin shook his head with a smile, opened his mouth, and finally only sighed, "I can't bring it." ”
The woman looked at his expression for a moment, wanting to see something, Cheng Yin raised her eyes and looked at her, and said, "Don't look at it, you are so smart, I will be seen through by you." ”
She grinned and said, "The flower candle in the cave room, we can't make friends yet, just look, how can we see what the husband thinks in his heart?" No matter what, if it's sad, the concubine doesn't ask. ”
She owes a debt and turns to leave.
"Wait." Chengyin stopped her, paused, and said, "You can tolerate people because you don't love, since you don't love, why did you enter my house so obediently in the first place?" If you don't want to, I will persuade my parents and will not force you. ”
"Nope." She shook her head and said, "The husband is the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can the concubine be unwilling...... It's all because the concubine can't love the person she loves. Since you can't love, it doesn't matter who you marry. ”
Cheng Yin narrowed his eyes, smiled, and sighed: "In this way, we are really a pair of 'mandarin ducks with the same fate', haha, the love is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten!" ”
The woman smiled, still bowing her head, her eyebrows were obedient, and when she turned around, Chengyin saw that kind of light and light that she didn't have.
The house is peaceful.
Cheng Yin experienced this statement for the first time.
It is indeed peaceful, those flowery concubines have long gone their separate ways, even the musician and piano boy are nowhere to be seen, and there is a high hall at home and a wife who is more free and easy than himself.
Free and easy, how much helplessness is contained in this word.
The torch of love turned to ashes.
The fiery feelings burn to the point that the heart is like ashes, and you can smile lightly, such a state of mind is admirable.
He didn't ask his wife, who the person you couldn't love.
It doesn't really make a difference who it is.
There is a person in my heart.
A grave was buried in my heart.
……
"Husband, my mother asked the concubine to persuade you to rest, so late at night, why are you still sighing in the atrium?" The woman took a maid carrying a lantern to Chengyin, who was standing under the porch and watching the moon.
“…… State affairs, you know? Cheng Yin asked with a smile.
"I don't understand." She shook her head, "The concubine doesn't understand men's affairs, but it is precisely because you don't understand that you can talk to the concubine, anyway, the concubine can't understand it, and she won't talk nonsense." ”
Cheng Yin smiled and shook his head, "You're too smart." ”
The woman turned around, took the lantern from the maid's hand, waved the maid away, and stood beside Chengyin.
“…… Lord Geshu, he is in very bad health. Chengyin said, "I went to see him just now, and he can only lie on the bed and talk......
The woman nodded and said, "Lord Geshu has a temperament, indulges in wine, and is ...... age."
Cheng Yin glanced at her again and said, "You really know a lot...... How nice it would be if you were a man, you could stand side by side with me without being locked up by a big family. ”
The woman smiled shallowly, "The concubine is still willing to be a woman, if it is a man, wouldn't she not be able to love that person?" ”
Cheng Yin laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "Zitong, even if I connive at you, you can't always mention other men in front of me, right?" ”
The woman also smiled and said softly: "Husband, in the order of first come, first served, you can be at the back, here ......" She pointed to her heart.
"I have buried a person, I hope you, husband, don't repeat my mistakes."
Cheng Yin lowered his head and groaned, "When I go back to Chang'an this time, I always have a bad premonition...... The feeling of mountain rain coming. ”
"Lord Geshu can only stay in bed now, he is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a ...... Who can still deter the aliens? The prestige of the Shence Army is about to fall in half...... And that one...... Alas, in an eventful season, where can I still take care of my personal feelings. Cheng Yin was a little irritable and sighed heavily.
The woman did not speak again, but carried the lantern and stood with him in the atrium.
Eventful period...... It is indeed an eventful autumn, when this autumn is over and the winter snow is beginning to fall.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty ushered in a change.
……
"Suyang waits for Li Chengyin, the emperor orders you to immediately move your family to follow the Holy Saint Xingshu!" The internal affairs officer who gave the order didn't care about etiquette, and his shrill voice sounded in Suyang Houfu.
Chengyin took over the will, and the people in the family were panicked, no, not only the family, but the entire world of Datang was about to rain.
"Husband......
"Zitong, you take your parents and children first, all the wealth, money, and food in the house, you can give it up, and only leave the things that live and live, on the way, I want to serve the emperor around, I can't take care of you." Cheng Yin bowed his hand to the woman and bowed.
"The concubine knows, the husband does men's things, don't think about the family, the concubine will judge the situation." The woman owes a gift in return.
Chengyin nodded and said, "Although you are a woman, your mind and insight are no less than that of men, and my family is fortunate to ...... Although the relationship between you and my husband and wife is weak, we have a friendship with each other, which is very fortunate. ”
The woman smiled and said, "The concubine is going to pack up her things and send her subordinates...... What do you have to ask your husband? ”
“…… If, only if, there is no goodbye period after we part, you will send someone with the wealth to find the little servant I left at the Yumen Pass next spring, and he knows what I have commanded. Cheng Yin reminded with a smile.
The woman tilted her head, not quite understanding, but she did not ask any more questions, and after bowing, she hurried back to the inner courtyard.
It was the year of June 13, and the Son of Heaven left Beijing.
