35. Mandarin duck ground sycamore
After the fall of Rao Chengwen, Wang Yang Zhishi and Tong Jinnan were promoted to deputy ministers, and Li Xuan was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate again to be the imperial history of Zuo Yandu. In this regard, Gu Qihuai joked that for the sake of his fellow villagers, he was more relaxed during the year-end inspection. Li Xuan smiled: "Then you have to give some benefits." β
When Gu Qihuai heard this, he laughed, lined his shoulders and said, "It's easy to say." β
And the inspection at the end of the year, Li Xuan was really busy, he caught a cold at night, took a lot of medicine and did not get better, and once coughed up blood.
He clutched the veil tightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, three years.
On this day, he got up early in the morning and carried some incense wax paper candles to the outside of the city. At this time, it was the wax moon, and the wind on the lake was blowing and his face hurt. He landed and went to Tong Shuyan's grave.
Tong Shuyan's tomb has been taken care of for a long time, so it looks neat and orderly, he put the offerings one by one, and said a lot to her with a smile.
"Yan'er, have you been reincarnated into which family at this time? She's a smart little girl? He leaned against her tombstone, looked at the gloomy sky and smiled lightly, "As the saying goes, if a female junior holds gold bricks, then I must be a rich man in my next life, right?" β
As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing again, and then smiled helplessly: "If you have already gone to the next life, won't you be able to hear me?" Alas, I'm a little too miserable. β
"You wait for me, Yan'er, I'll be here soon, waiting for me."
At this time, a breeze blew, sending bursts of plum fragrance, Li Xuan smiled lightly, "Did you hear that?" Alright, I'll try to come as quickly as I can. β
When he got home, it was already evening, and Gui Sheng was about to go out to look for him, when he saw someone coming back, he shouted to the courtyard: "Master, the second master is back!" β
When Li's father heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the house on crutches, and when he saw his son, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a harmonious voice: "Wash your hands and get ready to eat." β
Since the death of his mother and sister, his father's health has deteriorated, although he is not old, but he is already faltering when he walks.
"Fatherβ"
Just thinking about it, a child flew out of the house, hugged his feet, and asked with some grievances: "Father, where have you been?" β
He looked at this little doll carved out of a mold like himself, his heart suddenly softened, he picked him up, and said with a smile: "I went out to do something." β
The little doll looked at him innocently, chattering with him about what happened today, he listened to them one by one, and at night the little doll pulled him to tell a story, and he also agreed decisively, knowing that he would lull people to sleep before he went out lightly.
When she came out, she saw Qi Chuyu waiting outside, and she asked softly, "Duan'er is asleep?" β
He nodded, glanced at her, and said in a harmonious voice, "You also rest early." Then he turned and walked away.
Qi Chuyu looked at his back and couldn't help shouting, "Husband......"
Since Tong Shuyan's death, Qi Chuyu's temperament has changed a lot, but many things are irreparable. Therefore, Li Xuan heard the husband, but did not stop at all.
Seeing this, Qi Chuyu took a deep breath, tears welled up in his eyes, and he also turned around and left.
When Li Xuan passed by his father's room, he heard a cough coming from inside the house, but when he looked up, he saw that the light had been turned off, so he didn't push the door and went in, and walked straight towards the bedroom.
Gui Sheng waited outside his house for a long time, and when he saw him return, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The Yalanto people brought a message, saying that they asked you to come over for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve." β
Since Tong Shuyan left, he automatically assumed his share of responsibility as a child, Tong Jinnan also regarded him as half a son, and the old men of the two families often moved around.
He nodded and said that he understood, and told Gui Sheng to rest early and push the door into the house, he was already very tired, but when he thought of what happened today, he had insomnia.
On the second day, he reported sick leave and did not go to the court, so he inquired around and found a famous feng shui gentleman in the city, and asked how to break the feng shui of the mandarin duck land. The gentleman looked at him, smiled a little unpredictable, stroked his goatee, and said with a smile: "The feng shui of breaking the mandarin duck land is very simple, has the prince ever heard of beating the mandarin duck?" β
When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately understood something, and said goodbye to Mr. Feng Shui with a wry smile. The next day, he planted a sycamore tree behind Tong Shuyan's grave.
The wind in the wax moon was very dry, and he knelt in front of Tong Shuyan's grave, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken.
Sycamore, not the same, not the same.
β¦β¦
"So, because you broke the feng shui of the mandarin duck land, did you live to the end of your life?" Hearing this, Meng Po couldn't help frowning and asked.
Li Xuan shook his head, "I don't know if there are mandarin ducks or not, I fell seriously ill later, and I thought I was going to die, but I came back to life." Mother-in-law, you are well-informed, I want to ask you, is there really a mandarin duck in this world? β
"The life span of a person is written in the book of life and death, except for dying unexpectedly, I have never heard of any feng shui that can harm people's lives." Meng Po said in a deep voice.
"So, I'm really inseparable from Shuyan?" He smiled wryly.
Hearing this, Li Moxin on the side couldn't help laughing, "You have abandoned others twice, and you still want to seek the next life?" β
Li Moxin's words were like a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't speak. But Meng Po understood him and explained: "He has the old and the young, as well as Tong Shuyan's father, if he dies, who will be responsible for the family?" β
Li Moxin raised his eyebrows and smiled very indifferently: "You and Gu Qihuai are interesting, one thinks he is ruthless, the other feels that he is infatuated, if you can change it, you don't have to suffer those two girls." β
Seeing that Li Xuan was puzzled, Li Moxin said something about Gu Qihuai. After Li Xuan heard this, he suddenly understood why Gu Qihuai sighed that the woman who had read the book was so unprovoked.
These women who have read books are often soft and strong, and would rather die than suffer half of the humiliation. I just don't know if it's good or bad.
"Gu Qihuai has a saying that is right, who is sincere in this life, and in the next life, you will be with others and me, don't be sad, Tong Shuyan may have found her home a long time ago." Li Moxin said with an indifferent face, "Drink the Meng Po soup, and the next life will be clean." β
Meng Po turned her eyes and smiled helplessly, this girl, coaxing words are becoming more and more fluent, so she also said in a harmonious voice: "There are countless reincarnations of life and death, where can you really not meet them?" β
Their words were reasonable, but Li Xuan listened to them like a knife, but he had to raise the bowl of Meng Po soup and frown and drink it, and go to the bridge with black and white impermanence.
Meng Po looked at Li Xuan's distant back, sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "You said that if Tong Shuyan knew that he gave up on her again, what would she think?" β
"I think it's both understanding and resentful, right?"
"Yes, it should be understanding and resentful, loving her so deeply, but also bearing her so deeply."
Li Moxin hummed absently, turned around and wanted to go back to the house to continue sleeping, but heard a heart-rending wail from the bridge, and in a blink of an eye, Meng Po had already flown over. At this time, she hated that she couldn't fly, and when she ran over slowly, she saw Li Xuan kneeling in front of Meng Po, crying so much, "Mother-in-law, I beg you, I can't help myself at all in my life, this time I beg you to let me jump, this is my only chance to see Shuyan." β
Li Moxin felt strange, he was fine just now, why did he suddenly jump into the Lechuan River?
I saw that Meng Po was also full of embarrassment, and persuaded softly: "You are destined, you will see you again, don't be in a hurry in this life." β
"No, mother-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to see her, I had no choice before, now I can make my own decisions, I want to see her, I want to see her as a life, otherwise...... Otherwise......"
Otherwise, he couldn't say anything, as soon as Meng Po soup was drunk and pushed into the path of reincarnation, what else could he do?
He crawled on the ground and wailed and wailed, like a lost dog, and the pain of body and mind could not be offset even if he died ten more times.
Black and white impermanence also looked at Meng Po helplessly, quite pleading. Actually, Meng Po didn't feel distressed, she couldn't love it herself, and she also wanted to see Shaoxuan again, so she had to nod and agree.
"You jump, I won't stop you." Meng Po said in a deep voice.
When Li Xuan heard this, he got up and thanked Meng Po, jumped into the boundless darkness, and after a while, there was a sound of falling water.
Meng Po closed her eyes and tears flowed down, took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.
Li Moxin looked at the black and white impermanence with a blank face, only to see that the two of them just shook their heads, and reincarnated with other sad ghosts. Seeing this, she was even more at a loss, and hurriedly caught up with Meng Po and asked, "Why did Li Xuan want to jump into Lechuan?" How do you get him to jump? There's no need. β
Meng Po opened her eyes and looked at her with red eyes, her expression pained, "He needs it." β
"What's the need?"
"It was he who personally cut off the love thread with Tong Shuyan in the afterlife." After that, Meng Po was already in tears.
Li Moxin didn't react for a while, looked at her and frowned and asked, "Is there really a mandarin duck land?" β
Meng Po nodded, "His marriage in the next life originally wrote Tong Shuyan's name, but Shengsheng was crossed out and Qi Chuyu's name was rewritten, maybe it was because he broke the feng shui of the mandarin duck land, and Tong Shuyan had to be reincarnated." β
Hearing this, Li Moxin was stunned for a moment, remembering what Meng Po had just asked, if Tong Shuyan knew that he had given up on her again, what would she think?
Li Moxin didn't dare to think about Tong Shuyan's mood when he went to reincarnate at that time, whether he was both understanding and resentful, or hoped that he would never meet him again for eternity?
I guess I'll never see each other again.
"It turns out that fate is no match for the impermanence of the world." Meng Po raised her eyes to look at the chaotic sky and sighed with tears.
Hearing this, Li Moxin also felt uncomfortable in his heart. Tong Shuyan originally thought that he had an afterlife with Li Xuan, but he was cut off by Li Xuan himself, Qi Chuyu originally had an afterlife with him, but he jumped into the Lechuan River. It's really impermanent.
The wind of the Lechuan River blew up again, and the wind brought all kinds of painful wails, maybe there was Li Xuan, maybe not. Compared with the pain of losing the face of children's books, the Lechuan River should be nothing.
