Chapter 11: Long Hair Strikes the Wind
As the saying goes, "if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure".
Zhang Ruoxu's analysis, although it may not be 100% accurate, at least, has reduced the pressure in Zhang Qian's heart by more than half. And the news that Bi Gou had been recalled by the imperial court from the road of debasement made his spirits even more uplifted.
"After all, I still influenced history." Walking on the way home, Zhang Qian couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart, "Even if it only affects the part of the part, it can't leave any record in the end." ”
In the official history of another time and space, Zhang Qian is not clear about the ending of Bi Gou. However, in the time and space he is in now, Bi Gou has avoided the fate of being degraded for thousands of miles and going to Liuzhou to be accompanied by the white flower snake.
As for after coming back, this person still couldn't enter the court to participate in state affairs, but took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the Dushui prison to set up windmills and machine wells in the world. At the very least, the old man with a good temper can temporarily avoid the whirlpool in the court, lest even the chair of the ambassador of the capital water supervisor go to Qiongzhou again before he sits on the hot! (Note: On Hainan Island, officials in the Tang Dynasty basically went and never returned.) )
When people are in a good mood, they see everything that is pleasing to the eye. Although it is already winter, the snow on the top of the mountains in the distance and the bare branches at the end suddenly look picturesque.
Even the sun in mid-air was much brighter than the previous few days, shining on people's backs, making people feel warm, and they couldn't wait to sing immediately.
"If you want to sing me to you, while you are as young as a flower now, the flowers will bloom quietly, decorate your years and my branches......" looked back and forth, confirmed that there was no one around, and was sure that the wolf would not be invited, Zhang Qian moved his arm to do a few chest expansion movements, and then sang in a low voice. (Note: Old Wolf's "Sing Me to You", a classic that has been circulated for more than 20 years)
The clouds stopped, the wind was calm, and the sun shone through the branches on the wet mud floor, mottled and gilded.
He grinned lightly at the stagnant water formed after the snow melted. His voice gradually turned higher, with a faint sense of longing, "Who can replace you, love while you are young......"
It's a pity that I didn't see the ruby girl at Zhang Ruoxu's house today. Originally, when Zhang Qian walked on the dirt road leading to Zhang Ruoxu's house, he still had a little expectation in his heart. Although, although he also clearly knows that the probability of meeting the Ruby Girl is actually similar to being struck by lightning in the winter.
But apart from Zhang Ruoxu's family, Zhang Qian didn't know where he was, and he still had the opportunity to meet her.
Princess Jincheng is said to live in the palace, and with his current skills, there is no possibility of sneaking in. And the Yang family in the service is also heavily guarded, and no one can guarantee that the granddaughter will definitely live in the same courtyard as her grandfather.
"I'll sing me to you, give me your innocent smile! We should have happy, happy, sunny times......" He raised his head violently, and with strong unwillingness, he let out a shout of joy at the sky. Although I am sure that at this moment, no one can hear it except myself.
Did she know she had met her grandfather?
Does she know she's trying to change her fate?
She knew that from the first time she saw her, she had engraved her figure in her heart, and she couldn't forget it?
She knows......
The answer, I'm afraid, is mostly no. But so what? If you work hard, what will change in the future will be more than her fate!
What I asked for was originally not to let her know and move her. I just want to beg for myself to try to feel happy and passionate for her when she does these things.
"Quack, quack, quack......" Several jackdaws, frightened by the song, flapped their wings and flew from the treetops, screaming and grazing over the heads of the singers.
The singing stopped abruptly, and Zhang Qian shook his head with tears and laughter. Is Lao Tzu singing so badly? I've practiced dozens of times on my phone, although my voice is incomplete......
"Boom, boom, boom......" A chaotic sound of horses' hooves, followed by the crow's call, reached his ears. Looking into the distance, I saw a string of vigorous figures quickly from far to near under the blue sky.
Red, green, blue, white, rose-colored ......, like blooming spring flowers, gently swaying on horseback.
"Is that her?" Zhang Qian instinctively stopped, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to make sure that what he was seeing was not an illusion. When the hand was lowered, the figure on horseback was already close at hand.
It's her, that's right! Red boots, white fur, long hair. In a large group of flower-like girls, dazzling.
After blinking vigorously a few more times, Zhang Qian finally determined that what he was seeing was not an illusion. The ruby step was still the same as it had been on the day of the first meeting, pinned in her hair, beating up and down with the undulations of the horse's back, like a beating flame!
He quickly raised his hand and tried to say hello to her. However, halfway through the hand, he hesitated to put it down.
She was accompanied by at least ten people, looking at the dress, either the young lady of the eunuch's house, or, her cronies. Whether it is the former or the latter, the act of raising their hands to say hello will clearly fall on their eyes.
For her, this action is not only abrupt and rude, but also brings a series of troubles, and even pushes her into the abyss from which she will never recover!
Trying to take two steps back into the mud on the side of the road, Zhang Qian retracted his arms, trying to make himself a stranger.
Try not to look at her, not to see all the maidens, not to see the long hair fluttering in the wind and the dancing flames. Although, although the flame always burned deep in his heart, it burned his heart hot and painful.
"Ahead is my uncle's Zhuangzi, let's go in and let the servants help feed the mount, and drink some tea to nourish our spirits!" A familiar voice came through the cracks of the horse's hooves, and every word was unusually clear.
"Sister, great idea!"
"Very good! Well, my horse can't run anymore! ”
"Young lady, let's go ......"
On the mountain road, a crisp response sounded, like a yellow bird coming out of the valley.
She didn't see me, and even if she did, she couldn't stop! With his head down and exhaling softly, Zhang Qian turned his body sideways and slowly walked towards his Zhuangzi, leaving behind him the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of a girl like a yellow oriole.
This is the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, not China in the 21st century. His songs, his wishes, were destined not to be sung to her in front of many people.
Although, although at this moment, they are all as young as flowers.
The sound of the horse's hooves behind him became farther and farther away, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely.
The sound of the yellow bird's speech also lingered, and finally it was inaudible.
"Huh-" raised his head, facing the blue sky and white clouds, Zhang Qian spit out a long white mist. Then gritted his teeth and resolutely turned around!
There is only one chance, and if you miss it, you don't know when you will have to wait until the next time.
She had said that she would take the girls to her uncle's house to drink horses. Then, if I go to see Zhang Ruoxu now, I will have a great chance to meet her.
When you arrive at your uncle's house, you can't help but say hello to your uncle, right?
Uncle's New Year's friend, and she happened to meet, it's not a rude to say a word, right?
Even if you don't speak, it's good to see her one more time. At least, at least the shadow in your heart can be clearer!
Even if......
There was a hot air, which quickly filled Zhang Qian's limbs and hundreds of remains. Taking a big stride, he ran towards Zhang Ruoxu's house at a gallop. I'm afraid I'll run slower and miss the Ruby Maiden again.
"Bang, bang, bang......" Running, running, there was another sound of horses' hooves, clearly coming from the opposite side.
"It's a step too late!" The strength of the whole body quickly disappeared. Zhang Qian stopped in despair and looked up in a daze.
But I saw a cyan mount quickly coming up from the opposite side.
On horseback, there was a young girl with red boots, white fur, and long hair.
