Chapter 155: Hidden Arrow Behind You
At the place where the lotus lantern of Qingyuan Temple is put into the river, there is a six-storey Wangjiang tower towering. Different from the solemnity of the monks in front of the Buddhist temple and the deep hatred and sorrow of the men and women who put the lamps, most of the people looking at Xiangxia from the upper floor have the same high-spirited faces.
The lotus lanterns that form a river carry the sorrows of men and women in the world and slowly flow into the sea, and in the pen of the genius who is looking for chapters and words to record the beautiful scenery, this is just a spectacular and beautiful scenery.
"Although it is said to be the mercy of Buddhism, but now when I look at the people who put the lamp, there are always some resentful women and idiots openly sacrificing those evil babies who should not have been born into the world, and people can't help but lament that the world is declining and the people's hearts are not ......."
The young man who was on the verge of breaking the railing sighed loudly, and looked at his companion with contempt in his eyes, wishing that the glances cast around him would immediately understand what he meant.
"Brother Jing Cheng is extremely right!" Gao Wei echoed aloud with great grace, and his eyes overlooking the river bank were clear, the wind was high and the clouds were light, as if the sea of lights in front of him was just a natural scenery.
"Not to mention, there are always some women who come to the riverside every year to put lights on the riverside, and there are always some ...... with outstanding and bright colors", the peacemaker heard the wind and secretly squeezed to Gao Wei and the others, and smiled and pointed to some beautiful and ugly women who could be seen from the upper floor.
In the river of people flowing downstairs, Xiao Hong glanced up at the tall building that made him feel very uncomfortable, and there were many people upstairs, guessing that it was some boring people who were full of food and panicked.
"All the rituals of the ancient temples and famous temples, if there are pious worshippers, they will have their own scenery to see the lively. It's none of your business, why force others to ......", Man Yun comforted softly. The slender hand that stretched out took the initiative to grasp Xiao Hong's palm tighter.
She once used the relics left by Song Zhe to smuggle them, and she felt that her inner respect was greater than her superficial courtesy. It's never demanding, but it's only tonight. Manyun strives for perfection without regrets.
Xiao Hong's originally stiff face was immediately full of warmth. One hand carefully protected the lotus lantern, and the other palm that shook with Man Yun was stretched open one by one and then firmly held Man Yun's fingers one by one, and continued to move forward.
It wasn't until he walked to the waterfront that he reluctantly let go of his hand under Man Yun's prompting.
The lotus lantern in the river water is quiet, and the candlelight dyes the dusk of the river, and the bank of the river is like day.
Standing on the shore, Man Yun's right index finger trembled lightly and touched the two golden characters on the lotus lamp holder. Lowered his eyelashes and gently lowered the lotus lamp into the water.
"Xiao Zhongsheng died at dusk, and his life was short. Pray that you will get rid of the red dust as soon as possible and go to the pure land of the lotus pond, without hindrance, without any vain and without disaster......"
In the muffled sound of prayer, the small lotus lantern slowly floated forward along the water, but it was pulled back by an outstretched arm not far away.
The murmur in Manyun's mouth stopped. stared at Xiao Hong, who came back from pulling the lotus lantern with big eyes in astonishment.
Xiao Hong ignored her, and solemnly lowered his head to the glimmer of the lotus lamp that was hooked by his fingers and said, "Xiao Zhong! Don't listen to this stupid woman. Listen to Daddy! Your name is the bell of love at first sight, the bell of love. If you are tired of the Buddha Kingdom, you might as well re-enter reincarnation. It's not always lucky......"
As soon as the slender fingers were raised, the small lotus lantern jumped with the waves, and galloped all the way into the companions of Hao Hao Tangtang.
"Zhou Manyun! You see. He listens to me! Xiao Hong turned around and smiled at Man Yun's shoulder. The other hand nudged briskly between her tightly knit brows.
I can't complain and I can't force it! Zhou Manyun sighed lightly and said goodbye. She is pressing the past in her heart and wants to break out of the cocoon, but Xiao Hong in front of her is doing everything from her heart without any obstacles.
"Don't do that again. Zhou Manyun! ”。 The sigh of the beautiful woman in his arms made Xiao Hong's heart throb slightly, and he leaned into her ear and asked softly: "Previously, you did not hesitate to defile yourself and resist marriage, were you afraid that you would not be able to meet the responsibilities of being a wife and mother?" ”
Man Yun, who was stunned when he heard this, grabbed Xiao Hong's shirt tightly, stared at Denghe for a while, and then nodded lightly.
The little lights floating on the surface of the river and the sad faces that were seen all the way, even Xiao Hong, who has always been optimistic, also felt a lot of pressure.
Whether it is the result of the evil fate of the golden wind and jade dew, or the inheritance of the heirs that the husband and wife are looking forward to, those stars that seem to be extinguished at any time in the wind and waves remind that it is easy to have a upside-down entertainment in the world, and it is difficult to take on the responsibility of being a parent.
"Zhou Manyun, I don't know how to be a good husband and father. Honestly, if you want to get a real child in front of me now, I guess I'll be able to scare it away right away. But...... Let's try it together, shall we? ”
A gentle kiss quickly touched Man Yun's forehead, followed by a tighter hug.
Man Yun nodded imperceptibly.
"In public, what a shameless slut!" Not far away, a woman's sharp voice blew piercingly.
"Let's go back!" , Zhou Manyun stood up with the help of Xiao Hong, lowered his eyes, and his face was flat, as if the evil words he had just entered were commenting on others.
Quietly walked back a few steps, getting closer and closer to the middle-aged woman who was anxious for justice and righteousness just now, the woman rolled her eyes and looked at Man Yun, and her mouth was still chattering around a few cheap words.
"What do we have to do with you?" , Man Yun couldn't help but stand still, and asked the stranger he didn't know word by word.
There was ice in her eyes, and her momentum was terrifying, which made the woman dumbfounded for a while.
With a heavy snort between his noses, Zhou Manyun dragged Xiao Hong with his backhand, but his steps were more steady and he walked through the crowd and cut straight to the point.
"We're husband and wife?" After avoiding Wangjiang Tower, seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Hong simply stopped his steps, and took Man Yun, who had reappeared with an embarrassed face, in his arms.
As if the two pairs of eyes that were still reflecting the glow of the river lantern were touching sparks in the night, Zhou Manyun, who raised his hot and pretty face, smiled, stood on tiptoe, and hit the man's lips.
A hint of flattered joy flashed in Xiao Hong's eyes, and he simply closed his eyes and hugged Man Yun's waist tightly, enjoying the sweetness between his lips and teeth.
After a long time of separation, the two looked at each other and spoke out in unison.
The elopement at the end of the road can be regarded as running out of the sea and the sky. A lotus lantern drifting away from afar. She remembered it, but she wasn't going to let that flame burn anymore.
Man Yun, who smiled first, looked around. deliberately looked up at the tall building in front of him, and walked home while holding Xiao Hong's hand. While complaining softly: "Keep up with you madman, I'm crazy too." Who knows how many people will be scolding behind my back tonight and breaking my backbone. ”
"Yun Jinfan's principal, the thief, will she still be afraid of being scolded?" , Xiao Hong breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed happily: "Man Yun! Zhou Manyun, how good you are like this! The other day, I thought I was going to drown in your tears. ”
"What if I've always been like that? Are you just leaving? ”
"Nor will it! I will make mistakes and keep making mistakes with you, and one day we can make mistakes together again. ”
A pair of beautiful shadows whispered side by side, holding hands. Walk farther and farther in the darkness......
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a team of chariots and horses with a simple appearance and a real interior traveled from Qingyuan County to Qingyuan Town, stopped for a while in front of an inn, picked up the people who wanted to follow the team, and continued to go south.
Mrs. Gao, who was sitting in the car, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then stroked the cheeks of her second son Gao Wei, and sighed with relief: "Wei'er, you can figure it out and go to Huocheng with your mother, that's good!" ”
Gao Wei Wenton smiled. Between the unfolded eyebrows, the decadence of the past few months has been swept away.
"Actually, our family is so prostrate to go to Huocheng to ask for relatives, and your father is also planning for you. If you and the daughter of the Xue family are not caught, they are naturally innocent, and your father insists on saying to relatives and friends that you were planted, so we have to make the marriage of Gao Zhou even more real. ”
"Mother! I understand. Xue Sujun's matter was originally made when he was discussing marriage with the Zhou family, if the Zhou family should be married, in the eyes of the world, they recognized the innocence of the child. ”
"Hmm. It's good to understand! Wei'er, you won't object to the marriage this time, right? ”
"The child is determined by his mother!"
The Huang family, who was relieved, bowed his head even more happily. Gao Wei, who was sitting beside her, rubbed his shoulders and neck for his mother in filial piety.
"Mother! I remember that my father once mentioned that Old Lady Zhou and Jingguo Mansion have always had a disagreement with each other since the time of Wu Zong? Huang's expression, which waited for his eyes to be closed, was calm. Gao Weicai whispered in her ear, as if unintentionally mentioning old things.
"Yes! It's not only the Zhou family, but also our Gao family. It's a pity that Emperor Wuzong and your grandfather went early. Huang's sigh was full of regret, if it weren't for the fact that the elders had not survived for a long time, her husband Gao Gong would not have worked so hard for the Gao family.
Wu Zong regarded the Xiao family in Yanzhou as a big problem in Japan. On the face, Empress Ciren, who was surnamed Xiao, was vain and wronged, but in fact, she accepted the plan of her confidants, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the border land to conquer the Xiao family in person.
But Zuihou, it was Wuzong who was killed by the acting king's calculations on the northern patrol road, and the old Jingguo Gong led his troops into Luojing and helped Xiaozong ascend the throne, and Xiaozong also welcomed the daughter of the Xiao family as the queen under the advice of Zhou Xian and other ministers.
Another Empress Xiao, even if she left many good stories of the emperor's deep love in the eyes of the world. In fact, it is just a victim of imperial power calculations. First the crown prince died, and then she died with two lives, which is inseparable from her emperor's husband.
Zhou Xian and other "imperial parties" who have always stood on the side of Wuzong and Xiaozong have done, and several alliance families with the same spirit are clear to each other, and the Gao family is no exception.
It's just that Gao Wei's grandfather went early, Gao Gong was young, and after he couldn't get his hands on it, he broke away from the core, but he also lost a lot of money in power.
Gao Gong, who had great hopes for his two sons, had also told them in detail before, but Gao Wei was young and had not touched political affairs, so he did not think deeply.
But at this moment, he had an enemy from the Jingguo Mansion, and Gao Wei fell in love.
After thinking about it again and again, Gao Wei, who didn't dare to assert himself like before, still hesitated and said: "Mother! The child still remembers that the first emperor had made it clear that Jingguo Gongchang was stationed in Yunzhou without an edict and was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, and even his children were the same......"
Huang opened his eyes in confusion and looked at his son, Gao Wei, who kept talking about the topic to the Jingguo Mansion, felt very strange to her, but he still nodded and encouraged his son to finish speaking.
"Mother! If the child finds out that the son of Jing Guogong is secretly in Jiangnan, can he report to the government and arrest him? ”
The excitement that flickered faintly in Gao Wei's eyes made Huang, who realized that this was true, sit up straight and cough violently. (To be continued......)
