Chapter 92
On the second day, as soon as the city gate opened, King Cheng rushed to the Qingfeng Temple of the West Mountain, and arrived at the attic behind the Taoist Temple, and looked, Zhao Shijiao slept with his head covered in broad daylight, sighed, and stepped forward to shake him awake, Zhao Shijiao opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that it was King Cheng, and said strangely: "You are not gone, why are you back again?" ”
"Third brother, the Queen Mother is looking for you, go back quickly, the Queen Mother and her old man should be angry. Look at the latest novel on -_-!Le-_-!Wen-_-!Xiao-_-!say-_-!Net ()"King Cheng pulled him up."
Zhao Shijiao was a little hesitant, King Cheng couldn't help but say, and dragged him away.
King Anyang and King Cheng entered the city gate with a horse, and King Cheng stood still, as if he had something to say, he wanted to say something and stopped, and he took two steps to beat the horse, or turned back and said: "Forgive the little brother for saying something that should not be said, if the Queen Mother knows that Mrs. Zhan Shao, her life will not be long." ”
Let's say, King Cheng beat the horse and ran to the palace, and the horse ran not far away, and his voice came, "Brother Huang, the younger brother is not accompanied." "I walked away.
As soon as Zhao Shijiao stepped into the threshold of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's displeased voice came out, "Where are you going?" Leave the two side concubines behind? ”
Concubine Han and Concubine Xue stepped forward and saluted, "Concubine to participate in the prince." ”
"Excuse me." Zhao Shijiao strode in and didn't look at the two.
The two stayed in Cining Palace last night, and the queen mother gave enough face to comfort the second concubine who was snubbed by her son, and the second concubine had a family background.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." After the salute, stand aside.
"Frame, where have you been in the past two days?" The Queen Mother looked at her son and seemed a little haggard, her eyes flashed, and she was a little suspicious.
"I lived in the suburbs of the capital for two days, and the air in the mountains was good in summer." Zhao Shijiao deliberately hid the Taoist temple.
"Frame, you have passed the weak crown, and the two side concubines have been in the house for many days, and you are not seen, what is the reason?" The queen mother was obviously displeased, and she didn't say anything in front of these two side concubines, whether her son was dissatisfied with the two side concubines she chose, and hid from her.
Zhao Shijiao glanced at Xue Jin and Han Lan, and the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Don't look at them, they didn't say it, they covered it up for you, thinking that I didn't know anything." ”
Zhao Shijiao stopped talking.
"You don't have a heart for me as a mother, if you snub the two side concubines, I don't know how to follow it." Empress Dowager Guo's words were also deliberately said to the two side concubines.
"The mother is serious, the sons dare not dare, and the sons are not filial." The Queen Mother said something heavy, Zhao Shijiao knelt down, and as soon as he knelt down, the two side concubines also knelt down.
"Get up, kneel like what?" When the queen mother saw her son, her anger disappeared, and her face became kind, and she was a loving mother.
"Take the two of her back, make trouble with me for the past two days, let my ears be clean and pure, don't let me know that you will go out of the palace again, kneel down!"
Let's say, the queen mother helped the eunuch to get up and went to the apse, here Zhao Shijiao and the two side concubines sent the queen mother's figure to disappear behind the red sandalwood hollow jade landscape screen, and then went out of the palace, out of the palace gate, Zhao Shijiao rode back to the palace first, and the two side concubines returned to the palace in a sedan chair.
Zhao Shijiao was lying in the blue wave pool made of jade, and the woman crouched on the wall in his mind, smiling at him, the laughter lingered, and the corners of his lips raised.
A eunuch came in and said, "Back to the prince, Concubine Han and Concubine Xue have returned to the mansion to meet the prince." ”
"Let them go back." Zhao Shijiao was suddenly interrupted, and his face turned grim.
Xue Jin and Han Lan heard that the prince didn't want to see them, their mood was a little low, and they each went back to the dormitory.
It turned out that she went to Shen Wanzhu's house, Shen Wanzhu heard the maid report that Xue Jin was coming, smiled, and snorted softly, when Xue Jin entered the house, her expression had changed a few times, and she was replaced with the most decent smile, "The concubine has seen the side concubine." "If you feel uncomfortable, you can't be rude.
"Why should my sister be polite, you and my sister are still the same as before, my sister forgot to enter the palace draft, the family instructed us to support each other, and we are still relatives, we should be closer than others, how to enter the palace, we are alienated from each other." Xue Jin took Shen Wanzhu's hand, and the two entered the inner room hand in hand.
Shen Wanzhu instructed Yan'er and Xiao Saucer to make tea, Yan'er and Xiao Saucer saw Xue Jin and was not restrained, Yan'er brought the tea, first held it to Xue Jin, and said with a smile: "When Miss Xue and my girl were not out of the pavilion, how good it was, and now I am glad to be together, so as not to be alone with my girl." ”
Shen Wanzhu smiled and said: "What else is your name Miss Xue, Concubine Xue is right, this girl has never seen the world, and she can't figure it out." ”
Yan'er made a gesture and smacked her mouth, "The slave should be damned, as soon as she is happy, she forgets it, Concubine Xue." ”
"Fortunately, Concubine Xue is not to blame, if you change others, you can't afford to be guilty." Shen Wanzhu said sourly.
"Look at what my sister said, what is the concubine Xue Fang, no one will call you and my sister the same as the original in the future, if my sister is loved by the prince, I must not forget my sister, and if my sister has the blue eyes of the prince, don't forget to bring my sister." Xue Jin came to the palace for the first time, and Shen Wanzhu was familiar with her, so she pulled her over first, the prince did not have a concubine, and the palace belonged to her and Concubine Han's most honorable status, and they were bound to fight each other, and they went their own way, Shen Wanzhu was the first object she attracted and made an offensive and defensive alliance.
Shen Wanzhu originally saw that she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she was sneering, unlike the original two of them who were kind-hearted, Xue Jin's words, she pondered, too, the princess's concubine is not only the two of her, but also the two of them in the palace in the future, it is better than one person not taking care of each other, Xue Jin obviously also means this, Concubine Han is unfathomable, Xiao Wenxiu boasts of being high, on the surface like fireworks that do not eat the world, and has already stored the heart of hooking up with the prince in her bones, and the princess's concubine Mrs. Xiao Han, the fox is very charming, Mrs. Yan has excellent dancing skills, and she looks like a fairy, And Miss Murong...... The opponent is like a cloud, even if the side concubine is not Xue Jin, she is also Wang Jin and Zhang Jin, she is not as good as her, she has had a relationship, she is familiar with each other, and she can think of going together.
Thinking of this, his attitude became intimate, "What my sister said is that the prince and concubines are in groups, each of them is beautiful and versatile, you and I sisters will mention each other in the future, and the prince will take care of it." ”
When Xue Jin heard this, he put down the teacup, grabbed Shen Wanzhu's hand, and whispered: "Sister is right to think so, I'll tell you ......" Say it, look left and right, see Yan'er and Xiao Die'er also listen with their ears, knowing that it is Shen Wanzhu's henchman to marry the maid, so he continued: "You and I have something to discuss in the future, and we are in the same step." ”
Shen Wanzhu nodded, "Okay, just follow my sister, and my sister will listen to my sister." ”
Xue Jin smiled, what she was about to hear was, "The prince rarely lives in the mansion?" "Xue Jin has been here for a few days, and King Anyang is not in the mansion, so she can't figure it out, so she wants to inquire and understand.
Shen Wanzhu remembered that the prince went back to her parents' house with her and went to Zhan Bo's mansion, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Cheng Ri is in the mansion." "Let's talk about it, peek at her, and see Xue Jin holding the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, tightened.
"Does the prince often go to the West Mountain Qingfeng Temple?" Xue Jin vaguely heard that he wanted to inquire as much as possible, so that he could deal with it.
"Xishan, Qingfeng View, is it ......." Shen Wanzhu suddenly thought of the Baoyue Nunnery, which was not far from Qingfeng Temple, thought about it, and shook his head, impossible, how could it be.
"Could it be what?" Xue Jin saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and asked.
"Nothing, think of something else." Shen Wanzhu covered up and said, such a major event that is immoral and related to the reputation and festival, there is no real evidence, and I dare not make assumptions.
Shen Xuanzhen was holding a handful of wildflowers, the embroidered chrysanthemum behind her was holding a dog's tail grass in her hand, Qiao Shan only picked up a large handful of bright wildflowers, and the three of the master and servant entered the courtyard door with a smile.
Wang Yuerong put on a cloak, came out of the west house, followed by the two girls, as if she was going out, and saw Shen Wanzhen hurriedly say hello, "Sister, morning!" ”
Shen Wanzhen smiled: "My sister is going out?" ”
Wang Yuerong hummed, did not stop, and went out of the hospital.
Shen Wanzhen entered the house and instructed Xiuju to turn out a crystal long-necked bottle, wash it with water and arrange flowers.
A Dao aunt followed a neat mother-in-law into the courtyard, and the mother-in-law entered the house, and Shen Jiazhen was matching the colors, "The young lady is leisurely." The woman came over with a smile.
Shen Wanzhen looked up and saw that it was Chen Sheng's family who had a face next to her mother-in-law, and muttered in her heart, what is she going to do, she was wary of her mother-in-law, but a smile bloomed on her face, "Why does my mother have to come all the way today?" ”
Chen Shengjia stepped forward and squatted down respectfully and saluted, smiling, "How is the third aunt and grandmother?" The old slave kept thinking about it, but Mrs. Qiao sent an errand. ”
Shen Wanzhen's flowers have been arranged and placed on the windowsill, and Chen Sheng's family looked around, "Grandma's house is clean and tidy." ”
At this time, Xiuju came out of the back room and squatted, "Hello Mom!" ”
"Hello girl! The girl became more and more energetic. Chen Shengjia said with a smile, and Xiuju blushed as he spoke, "Mom is really good at complimenting." "Let's say, rushing Chen Sheng's house to give up his seat and pour tea.
Chen Sheng's family didn't dare to sit, but in the fourth place, only half of her ass was stained with a dwarf stick, and she didn't dare to sit honestly, this is her cautious etiquette, so she won the trust of the master than others.
Chen Shengjia took the tea handed to him by Xiuju, and owed his body, "Girl, rest!" ”
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Shen Wanzhen handed her a pu fan, and she shook it a few times, "It's really hot this year, and the nunnery is cooler than the capital. ”
Shen Wanzhen shook a palace fan and said with a smile: "Mom's hot day, what's the matter?" ”
Chen Sheng's house sat for a while, the room was cool, the sweat on his body fell, and said, "Mrs. ordered the old slave to come and see my aunt and grandmother, and asked my aunt if she was used to living there?" If my aunt and grandmother feel that the nunnery is bitter and regret it, my wife said it, she went out for my aunt and grandmother to discuss with her in-laws, and set up a clean room in the Bofu, which is cheap and worry-free, and it is important to be sincere, and the practice there is the same. ”
Shen Wanzhen sneered in her heart, she didn't give up yet, she was still beating her idea, her expression was a little colder, "I'm very good here, mother doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"But there's one more thing to come back to." As he spoke, Chen Shengjia took out a slip from his arms, got up and respectfully presented it to Shen Wanzhen with both hands, "This is a letter from Miss Wu Cousin." ”
Shen Wanzhen heard that Wu Yulian asked someone to bring the letter, and saw that the letter was burned with fire, and it was not opened, so she hurriedly opened it, browsed it quickly, and then closed it.
Chen Shengjia said: "Is the cousin girl good? ”
Shen Wanzhen nodded, and "good" didn't elaborate.
Chen Sheng's family talked about gossip again, and then left.
Xiuju sent her out, turned back, Shen Wanzhen unfolded the flower note, looked at it carefully, and Xiuju said: "What did Miss Wu say in the letter?" ”
Shen Wanzhen said happily: "Miss Wu is married." ”
"What kind of people?" Xiuju asked with interest.
"The letter said that there is a rich family in the local area, and there is only one son in the family, and the son-in-law is honest and responsible."
"The girl is relieved this time"
Shen Wanzhen carefully folded the flower note, and locked it in the lotus box wrapped with sour branches.
The drizzle continued, and it rained for five or six days in a row, and finally cleared, Shen Wanzhen stood under the eaves after the rain, the plantain was new green under the window, and a small vegetable patch in the yard arched out of the green shoots.
Wang Yuerong appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and in just five or six days, he had lost a lot, and the people had withered, and his demeanor was completely gone.
"My sister is back." Shen Wanzhen greeted warmly, Wang Yuerong was not in these days, Su Niangzi also moved to the place where the sisters-in-law lived, just a few Shen Wanzhen's masters and servants, this small courtyard was a lot deserted in vain, Qiao Shan loved to talk, no one was around, and she felt a little lonely.
"My sister will drink some wine with me." Wang Yuerong walked up to her and looked at her with blank eyes.
"I'll take some snacks, and my sister will go back to the house and wait for me first." A few days ago, Mama Yan came to see her and brought a lot of food, which happened to be used to invite Wang Yuerong.
Shen Wanzhen went back to the house and wrapped a big bun, and then passed Wang Yuerong's west room, the two took off their embroidered shoes and went to the kang, Xiaoqing put them on the kang table, Wang Yuerong instructed Xiaohong, "Bring the altar I left behind." ”
Xiaohong didn't know where to take a small jar of wine, the mouth of the altar was sealed, it didn't seem to have been touched, and she washed two sweet white glazed orchid grass pattern bowls, and poured wine for the two of them, Shen Wanzhen opened the oil paper bag, which was sliced sauce beef and her favorite pig's trotters.
When Mrs. Qian heard Xiuju say that the two of them wanted to drink, she picked cucumbers, mixed them with shallots, mixed a refreshing cucumber shreds and shallots and sesame oil mixed with tofu, and served them.
Xiuju went to the gate of the courtyard to look at people, the nunnery is a clean place, there are many rules and precepts, avoid drinking wine and eating meat, let people see, although they don't say anything, it will only increase embarrassment.
Wang Yuerong didn't let Shen Wanzhen either, she picked up the jar and poured the wine, drank the bowl in a big gulp, she was in a hurry, almost choked, coughed twice, Xiaohong climbed onto the kang and patted the master on the back, Shen Wanzhen wanted to take off her wine bowl, she shook her hand, "It's not in the way." He took two more sips.
Shen Wanzhen was afraid that she would get drunk and couldn't stop her, so she diverted the conversation, "Sister has something on her mind, you might as well talk to your sister, drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Wang Yuerong was overwhelmed by alcohol, her cheeks were flushed, she smiled bitterly, and spit out a sentence, "I made peace with him." ”
Shen Wanzhen was stunned, "This time you went back to do this, not to go back to your parents' house?" ”
"He wants to remarry, he doesn't want to, he is still in love with the concubine, but his parents don't agree, my mother fell ill when she heard this letter, my father broke off the relationship with me for this matter, saying that he would not provide for it in the future, and let me fend for myself." Wang Yuerong had a drunken smile on her face, and slowly her eyes were filled with mist.
"When I went back this time, I saw him, and I saw that he hated me and didn't want to tell me anything, he just wanted to get rid of me quickly, sister, you know his indifferent eyes, I saw how my heart hurt, and it was more uncomfortable than killing me with ......a knife."
Wang Yuerong's tears fell into the wine bowl she was holding, and Shen Wanzhen stretched out her hand from the table and held her cold fingertips, "It's all over, forget it!" ”
"My heart is tearing, does my sister know that it hurts? My sister can't be as stupid as me, right? Wang Yuerong said, tears falling down vigorously, like beads with broken threads.
Shen Wanzhen shook her head, "If your lover is like this, it's better not to love it." ”
"But my heart is gone, and I can't take it back, sister." Wang Yuerong lay on the table and cried, Shen Wanzhen saw that her shoulders were shaking, walked over to the ground, and hugged her tightly.
Shen Wanzhen accompanied her for one night and slept in the west room. Wang Yuerong was so drunk that she was in a mess.
The next day, when she woke up, Wang Yuerong seemed to be a completely different person, and her hearty laughter could no longer be heard in the small courtyard, most of the time she was silent, sitting and thinking about her thoughts.
Wang Yuerong's two little maids were young, afraid that their master would be aggrieved and sick, so they came to beg Shen Wanzhen to persuade her master, Shen Wanzhen shook her head, unless she put it down by herself, no one could help.
Slightly annoying heat. When she got up in the morning, she went to the small courtyard to watch Mrs. Qian tending to her small vegetable garden, picking up fat shallots, stroked a handful, and said to Shen Wanzhen happily: "Young lady, I don't eat this pickle for a day, I can't eat any tasteless food, and I can't eat it." ”
"The open space outside the nunnery will stay in the coming year, and the old slave will start early, and he will pick it up, and he will have enough food for the summer, and he can also provide some food for the master in the nunnery." Mrs. Qian smiled, her mouth never closed.
"What does Mom want to plant?" Shen Wanzhen looked at the courtyard was green, cucumbers, small green onions, lettuce, and sharp peppers were rising gratifyingly, and she also fell in love with this small vegetable garden.
"Miss Wang also got up." Mama Qian looked past her and asked with a smile on her face behind her.
Shen Xuanzhen turned around and saw Wang Yuerong standing quietly behind her at some point, quietly looking at the small vegetable garden, not knowing what to think?
At this moment, there was a 'click', and I saw a stone thrown into the western wall, making a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, two stones fell into the root of the west wall, Xiaohong came out of the house, and went straight to the corner door on the west side.
After a while, Xiaohong came in with a smile, holding a large bag of things in her hand, and she didn't shy away from Shen Wanzhen, Shen Wanzhen knew some reasons from Qiao Shan's mouth, "This is what he sent, a big bag of dim sum, he went down the mountain to buy it yesterday, and Tete sent it to the girl while it was fresh." ”
Wang Yuerong's face was as calm as washing, the corners of her lips moved, and Shen Wanzhen knew that she couldn't forget that person, but this person outside the door couldn't forget her either.
She knew the Tao from Qiao Shan's mouth, often looking for her is a Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple, not a serious Taoist priest, also considered a halfway monk, no shaving, with hair practice, Qiao Shan said very touching, the Taoist priest was originally a scholar, no father and no mother at home, alone, from the province to the capital relatives, to the breeze into the incense, in the surrounding mountains to play, encountered a poisonous snake, the leg was bitten, this snake is highly poisonous, if the bite half an hour will die, it happened that Wang Yuerong saw it, dragged him back to the nunnery, timely treatment, he was spared a death, Nor do I go home. became a monk and became a Taoist priest, and from time to time he came to deliver things and take a look at her.
The autumn color becomes thicker, the grass and trees gradually turn yellow, and a gust of autumn wind sweeps away the dead leaves of the branches and leaves, and falls to the golden yellow.
The night is cool in the mountains, and the charcoal brazier is lit in the house in the morning, and the embroidered chrysanthemum guards the candle flame, and the soles of the shoes are made for the master to wear this winter.
Shen Wanzhen held a scroll in her hand, read a book under the lamp, occasionally raised her head, looked out the window blankly, and thought of that person, where he is now, whether he is doing well or not, and there is a burst of heat in her heart.
The next morning, she got up, opened the door and went out, walked leisurely to the backyard, quietly, only stepping on the yellow leaves under her feet, rustling, she climbed the wall again, looked out of the wall, the ground was golden, the autumn wind passed, the fallen leaves were flying like rain, she sighed softly, a corner of her heart, reserved for him.
Shen Wanzhen walked to the front yard lonely, watched a little nun sweeping the yard, and chatted: "The master hasn't seen him for a few days?" ”
"Go up the hill to chop firewood and grass, leave it for cooking in the winter, and pile up half of the yard."
Autumn is coming to an end, and Chen Sheng's family came again to send some cotton clothes for the winter. Wang Yuerong's mother's family never came again.
On this day, Mrs. Yan came, bringing the net money earned by the two shops for half a year, and went to the capital, which was enough to have fifty taels of silver, Mrs. Yan said: "The business of the tofu shop is good, the money is generous, the reputation is good, people are willing to go to him to buy tofu, and the grocery store is much better than the original business. ”
Shen Wanzhen was glad that Bofu didn't pay attention to her dowry, she had some subsidies, and her life was better.
Shen Wanzhen put away the money, put it in a box, locked it, and ate and lived in the nunnery, so that it didn't cost much, and the filling point was limited.
"Is my sister in the house?" Wang Yuerong's voice came through the curtain.
"Yes, sister, come in." Shen Wanzhen pulled the account book with her hand and hurriedly cleaned it up.
Mrs. Yan opened the curtain with a look in her eyes, Wang Yuerong came in, and when she saw Mrs. Yan, she said, "Mother is here?" “
Mrs. Yan bowed dignifiedly, "Hello girl! Wang Yuerong has reconciled and left, and everyone has changed their words to call the girl.
Mrs. Yan saw that she was in trouble, and she went out with interest, so Shen Wanzhen beckoned her to sit on the kang, and the kang was hot.
Wang Yuerong touched the kang and was hot, "My sister is on fire?" ”
"Ward off the cold." Shen Wanzhen doesn't like cold and damp the most, and lets people heat the kang early.
Shen Wanzhen was afraid that she would be too hot, so she pulled over a small mattress and put her under her, and Xiuju was not in front of her, so she personally poured her a bowl of hot tea and handed it to her.
Wang Yuerong held the teacup with both hands and said hesitantly: "Sister, I'm leaving." ”
Shen Wanzhen was stunned for a moment, "Where is my sister going?" ”
"Go live in the country." Wang Yue is low and authentic.
Shen Wanzhen knew that her mother was gone last autumn, she had to write back, her father would not allow her to see her, and she cried to death.
As soon as her mother didn't, she completely cut off contact with her mother's family, and the nunnery was not for nothing, and she paid money every month.
"Have relatives in the country?"
"A distant relative." Wang Yuerong bit her lip and said.
"When are you leaving?"
"The Great Queen."
"Will Xiaohong and Xiaoqing go with you?"
Wang Yuerong shook her head, now she is no longer a big lady, and she is worthy of two girls, she is worse than the girl's life.
"Sister Hou'er will send you."
Shen Wanzhen thought about giving her some clothes, silver taels.
It was night, after a tiring day, the people in the nunnery were asleep, and no one thought that a terrible disaster had struck.
Separated not far from the Taoist temple, a small Taoist priest came out to Gong, suddenly, found that the sky in the direction of the Baoyue Nunnery was red, the firelight illuminated half of the sky, frightened to run to the Taoist temple, this autumn is dry, a fire, it is out of control.
The fire burned all night, and if it weren't for the autumn rain after the morning rain, I am afraid that the whole mountain would not be spared
Cining Palace
Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, entered the palace early in the morning to ask for peace, and it happened that the emperor Zhao Shixian and the empress Li also came to greet the queen mother.
Zhao Shijiao saluted his mother and met the emperor's brother and sister-in-law.
As soon as he sat down and said a word, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, panting and pouting, and knelt down in the hall, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, it's not good, the Xishan Baoyue Nunnery caught fire in the middle of the night last night, and the fire was not extinguished until dawn." ”
"How's it burning, people?" The queen asked with concern.
"The entire Baoyue Nunnery burned down, in ruins, and people were nowhere to be found."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Such a big fire, people are afraid that it is..."
The queen mother's voice fell, and she saw Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, rushing out of the hall without greeting, the queen mother and the queen were stunned, and the emperor reacted and called urgently: "Quick, quick, follow him......"
Zhao Shijiao rushed out of the palace, pulled the horse outside the palace gate, turned over on the horse, and beat the horse fiercely, snow-white
The red rabbit horse flew into the air with four hooves, galloped out of the air, and the guards who chased him out wanted to stop him, seeing that he seemed crazy, he was so frightened that he quickly got out of the way, and then got on the horse and followed.
There was a light rain in the sky, Zhao Shijiao completely ignored it, beat the horse and galloped, the red rabbit horse
The four hooves are like flying, the mountain wind is whistling in his ears, the rain is hitting his face, and he is unaware of it, there is only one thought in his head, you can't have anything, you can't have anything, a voice in his heart shouted wildly, "You must not have ....... anything"
Zhao Shijiao rushed to Baoyue Nunnery in one breath, rolled off the horse, looked around, his body was motionless, and he was fixed there.
The whole is a piece of ashes, the ruins in front of you, there is no shadow of the Huyue Nunnery, and there is a dead silence around.
At this time, the rain was pouring down, and he stood, like a wood carved clay sculpture, letting the rain flow down his cheeks and body.
After a long time, the palace guards arrived, and he was still standing there, and everyone rushed forward and called, "Lord Wang"
He fell straight back.
