Chapter 134: Cause and Effect
Chapter 134: Cause and Effect
The wind blows through the hall, and the rain hits the plantains.
At first, it only took three or two drops of rain, followed by the raindrops strung together in a line, and fell in the courtyard dripping.
A few drops of rain splashed in the verandah, Meng Tuo turned his head to look, and could only see the dim yellow lantern hanging outside the Yanguang Building in the hazy smoke and rain, Meng Tuo was very keen to capture the loneliness of the long pavilion, such a look, he had never seen it on the face of the long pavilion.
Even when he was on the run, the long pavilion was rarely depressed, and it seemed that he was always in high spirits.
"Wait for half a month, wait for half a month for the dust to settle, and your life with A-Ning will be back on track."
Meng Tuo was so relieved.
The wine is still boiling.
Changting raised his wrist and waved his hand, then put it down, and smiled, "You don't care about me, in the dead of night, people are easy to go crazy, think about it, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more you fall into it..."
Meng Tuo put down the cup, and looked like he was willing to hear it.
That night, Changting entrusted him to go to Youzhou to kill Lu Fan, and he knew in his heart that the eldest princess might shake her decision, and Changting would take precautions.
That night, Changting and the eldest princess Zhending didn't say it clearly, but he saw Zhending's struggle and guilt at a glance.
After someone really sent him out, he kept an eye on it, and personally got on his horse and went out of the city to track, but he didn't know that he would catch up with General Xiao Qin with a large team of men and horses after traveling a hundred miles.
General Xiao Qin is loyal to Lu Sui, Lu Sui is gone, and Lu Changying is loyal.
No matter what, it will not be General Xiao Qin's turn to do things loyally for that Lu Fan.
Seeing General Xiao Qin rushing to Youzhou with his own eyes, he finally felt at ease.
Then enter the city and count the time when the fire broke out and the secret trip with General Xiao Qin. The two were only half an hour apart, almost at the same time, and what happened in that time?
Meng Tuo is not surnamed Lu. He was excluded from the Heisei circle.
He had to speculate carefully, the point was, where was the eldest princess that night?
It should not be in the Guangde Hall.
If Zhending was in Guangde Hall that night, no matter how brave Changting was, it would be impossible for Manxiu to call him, and when Zhending pushed open the door of Yanguang Building, he smelled a very faint bloody smell.
There is also an almost negligible mush taste.
Other words. That night it must have been in the Guangde Hall where the fire started, and if you were a little bolder, you should speculate that the fire was ordered by the eldest princess. After setting fire to the front foot, Zhending ordered General Xiao Qin to go to Youzhou to settle the land conflict in advance. Changting thought that the fire would hold him back, and he was really determined to kill Lu Fan, but as everyone knows, the fire was a catalyst.
Meng Tuo thought about it again, but he couldn't think of any of the joints.
Raindrops fall.
Changting raised his head and drank the wine. Whispered. "Monto, you know what? From time to time, I feel pitiful for Lu Fan... I sometimes pity him... He's also crazy, I'm crazy too, sometimes I don't dare to go to Rongxi Courtyard to serve the sick, I'm afraid I can't stand seeing the appearance of the eldest princess... It's obviously your own brother, it's obviously a blood relative, why bother? It's a pity for Lu Fan, it's a pity for my father. It's a pity for my brother, it's a pity for us..."
The sake brewing is obviously not good.
Changting buried his head and rubbed the corners of his forehead again. "There must be a cause for everything, and I found the cause, but I don't understand where the effect is. I really don't understand whether the life of a person lives for a lifetime is to create and make people, or the reincarnation of cause and effect..."Changting laughed as he spoke, "In the past, Aya always said that I was not happy to think about things, but now I think about it, but it is in vain. The young man is worried about the new words, and I try to tell myself not to think too much. You say that victory is justice, but now that the times are in trouble, and the people are not living well, I can't help but fall into my own trivial thoughts -- I understand these things, but I can't restrain them. ”
Cause and effect...
Meng Tuo held the lamp in one hand, the wine was still warm, and the rain fell down the eaves.
"A woman's heart is too soft."
Meng Tuo returned to his senses and said in a muffled voice, "This world is to create and make people, and it is also the reincarnation of cause and effect. Lu Gongke died in a foreign land, this is creation and making people, but Lu Fan should be cut by a thousand knives, this is his reincarnation of cause and effect, and he is to blame. I don't know where he is pitiful, but I understand that no matter what happened to him, as long as Lu Gong has not humiliated his dignity and endangered his life, he is not qualified to ask for Lu Gong's life, he has done it. There is no need for you to feel guilty about the eldest princess Zhending, after all, it is not only her son who has passed away, but also your father. ”
As always, the board is upright.
Changting looked at him and laughed slowly.
Sure enough, the sorrows she cared about, the sorrows she felt guilty about, were nothing in his eyes.
"What kind of person are you a mother?"
Changting's chin rested on his wrist, "Yu Junjun is very awake and capable, although the Yu family has a reputation among the scholars..." ”
Meng Tuo tugged at his face and smiled.
He said that he was bored, and he wouldn't be angry.
"Not really."
Meng Tuo's tone was light, "Actually, my mother is not like my aunt, my aunt's wrist is also exquisite, my mother is a little like your second lady, oh, she is also a little like you, she likes to think about things, and her heart is very careful... It was colder in winter than in Sekinai, so she sewed two calfskins together to make me a pair of small gloves, and the stitches were so thin that I couldn't even see them when I put them together. ”
Like the second lady Chen?
That's personality and softness.
Like her again?
Maybe Mrs. Xiaoyu is a soft-hearted, sentimental woman...
Changting said softly, "What about your father?" ”
Meng Tuo's father was a Hu person.
It was the only thing Changting knew about his father.
If his father's family hadn't died, why did Meng Tuo enter the customs to join Shi Meng's family? If the father's family is destroyed, it is destroyed, and most of the Hu people who can marry the daughter of the Yu family are dignitaries, and there has been no turmoil in the beard recently, and there is no dispute between the princes, so it is impossible for a family of dignitaries to be destroyed.
Meng Tuo made a movement in his hand and slowly put the cup down.
Nothing for a long time.
You can only listen to the sound of rain and wind at night.
After a long time, Changting thought that Meng Tuo would not answer, but Meng Tuo opened his mouth. The tone is unexciting, calm and slow.
"My father, it's a Hu person. He was ten years older than my mother, and when my mother got married, he already had three sons, all of whom were the sons of the first lady. He worked with the king, and was in charge of the king's soldiers, horses, grain, and grass, and he also had men under him, and my eldest brother Meng Kuang was nine years old. When I was governor, he was already my father's right and left hand. ”
The Lu family is a steproom!?
The first time I've heard of Nagatei!
The daughter of the Lu family married the beard as a continuation!?
Changting looked at Meng Tuo, and suddenly understood how difficult his childhood should be, his mother was a scholar of the Great Jin Dynasty. And his father is an official of the Hu people, and he already has an eldest brother who is quite important, and his blood is embarrassing and he is difficult to act.
The night is dark and the wind is high. Meng Tuo seemed to be talking.
"My mother had a gentle personality. The nobility and sensitivity of the Keshi woman are also clearly visible in her. He wanted a bowl of water to be level, but the three eldest brothers and the concubine in the backyard didn't give him this opportunity. Do you know how many tricks women have to grind women? A woman's world is so small, and a casual pick is a battle. The knife is not bloody, and it kills the enemy in front of the battle. Mother had a lifetime of time to grind with them, but he broke his mother's longing and dependence with his own hands. ”
He...
Maybe it's Monto's father?
No, it must be Mengtuo's father.
Changting thought that he would hear a disaster under the familiar battle of the inner house, but Meng Tuo buried his head and softly shattered her expectations.
"My mother went on her own, and she wasn't too sick. But I can't get it back. Mother said that she couldn't bear to fight with this group of women for a lifetime for a man who didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and her heart was too high. I can't bear to eat, drink, laugh and laugh with this group of laymen in the tent, and spend this life in a fake way. ”
She said... She doesn't see any hope..."
Meng Tuo's voice was calm.
Changting covered his mouth with one hand, tears swirled in his eyes, Changting raised his head and cleared his throat, and his eyes blinked vigorously to hold back the tears.
I don't see any hope...
Not even her children can give her any hope?
Changting's voice was suffocated, and her tone was sour, she suddenly hated the Shi family's arrogance and senseless persistence for no reason.
Strength...
What is Wind Bone?!
Fenggu is not afraid of death, but should not be afraid of life!
I'm not even afraid to live, are you still afraid of death!?
Changting wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, but he heard Meng Tuo laugh in a muffled voice, "... Don't cry, every time I talk to you, I will tell you not to be angry, or not to make you sad, which is not what I want. ”
Changting sniffled twice.
Meng Tuo raised his head, wanting to reach out and rub Changting's head, but he could only look at her and smile, he hadn't smiled for a long time, and his face was a little stiff.
"When my mother actually left, I was just ten years old, the day before my birthday. Without my mother, my father is dispensable, I am full of hunger, and it is a letter from the maid left by my mother before her death to die out of the city. The good uncle-in-law held the soldiers in his hands, and the dominant side could speak, so he coerced and lured me to go back to Jizhou to raise. The Shi family treats me well, and the grace of the dripping water is reciprocated, and I will definitely live up to the Shi family. ”
Meng Tuo said lightly.
Changting heard the meaning of the promise in the words.
The candle burned in half, and when the wind blew, it seemed that the light was about to be cut off, Meng Tuo leaned in from the window and stretched out his hand to cover it, "Tonight, I did it as an inappropriate thing, and when I said something inappropriate, I did and said it, and if the eldest girl complained about a certain Meng Lang, she would forgive this experience." I won't do it or say it from now on. ”
Indeed it is.
Rare Meng Lang.
Rare casualness.
Rare approachability.
The ghost envoy of the long pavilion blinked his eyes and looked at him, and asked more, "How long is your birthday?" ”
Meng Tuo was stunned for a moment, and took advantage of Bai Chun to relight the candle on the candlestick, Meng Tuo replied lightly, "Tomorrow... It's tomorrow..."
Changting suddenly realized.
His mother died the day before his birthday, and today is his mother's death day.
That's why a person with a decent personality like him will let himself hold a wine jug and climb over the wall to the Yanguang Building...
"Bang Bang Bang Bang - "
The sound of beating the watch came in from afar.
It's midnight.
Changting Chong Meng Tuo smiled very brightly, "Midnight is over, it's tomorrow!" Happy birthday, Ato! The noodles I ordered to go down are crooked, so it should be the longevity noodles for your birthday this year! ”
Meng Tuo was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked away.
The noodle line takes time, the small kitchen has already turned off the light, and it is kneaded and boiled with broth and stir-fried ingredients by Bai Chun, Guangdetang's food has always been fine, and it has never been said that it has been dealt with, and there is a yellow poached egg lying on the bottom of the two bowls of noodles, sprinkled with verdant green onions, and then splashed with a spoonful of peanut oil poured on the soup, and suddenly "sizzle" sound.
Man Xiu brought a large bowl and a small bowl of vegetarian noodles, still steaming hot, Changting picked up the silver chopsticks and picked them in a small spoon and used them slowly in small bites, while Meng Tuo ate the sea bowl with soup and noodles in a few bites.
Two people, one wall.
Two pairs of chopsticks, two bowls.
The heads of the two people were facing each other, the smoke and rain were gradually hazy, the hot soup was fragrant, and the lanterns hanging outside the Yanguang Building were gently blown by the whispering breeze, and the soft and faint light also moved slowly and shook slowly.
Shake on the shadows cast by the boy and the girl on the ground.
If all the coincidences and intentional encounters in the world are the causes, then what will be the result of this encounter? Are you happy to see each other, or are you tired of seeing each other? Is it fate, or is it fate?
No one knows what the future holds.
No one would have predicted that this encounter would be auspicious or misfortune.
Life is not a drama, every qiē can follow the number of roads written in the book, how many turns will life take, how many people will meet, how many scenery will be seen, no one knows.
At least a year ago, Changting would not have imagined that a year later, she would talk to a reckless teenager through the window and have a good time.
If I meet you in the middle of nowhere, it's because.
Then I gradually believe in you, rely on you, rely on you, protect you, and love you, will this be the result?
Changting can't figure out the cause and effect, but someone can figure it out.
Heisei is gentle and drizzling, but Youzhou is windy and thunderous and rainy.
The tents are placed at the southern foot of Yanchou Mountain, and when the wind blows, the wind whirls through the tent, the oil lamps are hung high, and the horses neigh.
War horses are more expensive than ordinary soldiers, but now that there is no place for people to stand, where should horses stay?
Now the sky is going to be dark, and it is a difficult night, if you get through, there is a grass market ahead, if you can't get through, I am afraid that you will lose the soldiers and horses.
They didn't know that the thief was so difficult to deal with, and the ambush of the snake led them to this cliff! Along the way, nearly a thousand soldiers have been lost, and the soldiers are tired and discouraged, knowing that the front will only be more difficult, and they can only move forward, because they can't see where the back road is!
Lu Fan knew very well that if he came on this trip, if he went back without gaining anything, it would only make him more stable in Yuzhou, so how could he be asked to sit firmly in that position!?
He can't afford to lose it!
The cost of soldiers and horses was nearly 1,000, which was not a big deal, and it was really only a small amount on the battlefield.
Don't forget!
He only managed six thousand sergeants in a hurry!
Get through it!
After the grass market, the food and armaments were replenished, and Youzhou was ahead!
Although Shi Meng'er was arrogant, he didn't dare to turn away the Lu family's military horses!
As long as they break through the situation from the southern foothills, their future will be bright! (To be continued......)
