Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 27 The Pursuit of Tranquility
The sound of the piano is continuous, and the joy is as enthusiastic and unrestrained as the mountains and flowing waters, and when it is low, it is just like the spring water tinkling winter, like crying and complaining.
Nan Ying barely cheered up, and bowed deeply to the back of the person sitting on the side of the pool: "Madame Wan'an! When he heard the call, the kid was still worried about Madame's noble body. Now it seems that it is too much to worry about! ”
"Oh?" Ma Lun stopped the sound of the piano and turned his head elegantly, "Nan Shaojun only sees the back of the old body, can he find out the condition?" ”
Nanying shook his head and said, "How can the kid have such means? It's just that from the sound of the lady's piano, you can feel the vitality and the revival of everything, presumably the lady is refreshed both physically and emotionally! ”
Ma Lun's crescent-like moth raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that Shaojun is also a bosom friend!" It's rare to be so young, but so knowledgeable! Admirable! ”
Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "Madame is here to make fun of you again!" What rhythm does the kid dare to understand? It was the lady who had just recovered from a serious illness, and the piano played the sound of heaven from the heart! I believe that not only the boy, but anyone can also feel the joyful mood in the lady's song! ”
Maren lowered his head and said softly, "Is that so?" Maybe the old body can survive his life, and he is really excited! ”
She raised her head and said with a sudden smile: "But Shaojun! The old body saw you today, but he was preoccupied! ”
Nan Ying's heart jumped, and he stretched out his hand to touch his face and said, "Could it be that Madame is good at face-to-face?" Could it be that the brat's sad face made you see it? ”
Ma Lun didn't answer, she stood up, stretched out her hand and pointed to the gazebo not far away, and said, "Young gentleman, please!" ”
Nanying had no choice but to follow her and follow suit.
The servants retreated far away, and only the two sat opposite each other in the pavilion.
Ma Lun stared at Nanying and said solemnly: "Meng Shaojun has healed, the old body has been recuperated for seven or eight days, and he has already felt that the pain is gradually gone!" This kindness, my Yuan family is all grateful! ”
Nan Ying smiled slightly: "Madam, you summoned the kid here today, it shouldn't be to say this!" ”
"Not bad!" Maren said with a smile, "How can you show sincerity if you thank each other with empty words?" If you have any needs, just open your mouth, and the old man should do it for Shaojun! ”
Nanying smiled and said, "How is Madam going to thank you?" ”
Ma Lun sighed slightly: "Shaojun is a master of the world, he definitely doesn't like money and other things outside the body, the old man has a granddaughter, who is waiting in the boudoir, and has a good appearance, I don't know if Shaojun has a good match?" ”
Nan Ying was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Madame!" Although the kid has no wife, he is also grateful for not being sensitive! This matter will never be mentioned again! ”
Maren nodded, "Sure enough! Shaojun is neither willing to indulge in the gentle township, nor willing to marry my Yuan family, is he afraid that others will say that you tend to be inflammatory? ”
Nan Ying raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I am me!" What do others think of me! I won't pay attention to those short and long flights! ”
"What a spirit!" Ma Lun clapped his hands lightly, "Then Shaojun must have great ambitions in his heart, and he doesn't want to be bound by his family, right?" Good! Although I don't know if Shaojun is a scholar? But with the ability of my Yuan family, it is not a problem to arrange a position for Shaojun! ”
Nanying couldn't help frowning when he heard this, why did he talk about the Shi clan again? Is this world only for scholars? If you want to be an official, you must be a soldier?
He was unhappy in his heart, and his tone was unconsciously a little stiff: "Madam! The kid hasn't heard that Emperor Gaozu is also a scholar? ”
Malen was stunned, and couldn't help but chuckle, the laughter was crisp and pleasant, like a girl, people couldn't believe that she was nearly sixty years old.
Nan Ying also felt out of shape, and said embarrassedly: "Madam, forgive me!" The kid is open-mouthed, but he is offended! ”
Ma Lun put away his smile, looked at Nan Ying fixedly, and sighed: "After all, the young gentleman is young, and when he was provoked by a few words from the old body, he revealed all the thoughts in his heart!" ”
Nanying was shocked: "What! Has Madame always been tempting the boy? ”
Mullen looked at the pool, stunned as to what he was thinking.
After a long time, she spoke: "It's not entirely a temptation, if Shaojun is willing, the thank you gift proposed by the old body just now will also be done for Shaojun!" That's it! ”
She stopped and sighed softly.
Nanying said nervously: "What will happen in this way?" ”
Ma Lun said quietly: "The old body will not dare to meet the young monarch again!" ”
Nan Ying was shocked and said, "Madam, you, you!" ”
Ma Lun's clear eyes seemed to have been looking into Nanying's heart: "Shaojun Hugh wants to deceive himself!" You can't fool me! From the first time you see the old body, you actually feel the same as the old body! ”
Nanying was dumbfounded: "Madame can see it?" How is this possible! I ........."
Ma Lun said softly: "Shaojun must have had no parents since he was a child, right?" The strong admiration in your eyes makes even the old body tremble! When I look at you again, it's like seeing my long-lost son! ”
Nanying said uncontrollably: "Yes! It's the feeling of a mother, no, and a sister! ”
Ma Lun chuckled and said, "So, if Shaojun is the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, how dare the old man want a son and younger brother like you?" ”
Nan Ying recovered, spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Dare to ask Madame, is the kid too scheming, or is he too superficial?" Otherwise, how could Madame see my heart in her eyes? ”
Ma Lun smiled slyly and said, "This is my Ma's unique secret, but it can't be easily revealed!" ”
Nan Ying suddenly felt that the estrangement between the two had been broken unconsciously, and the lazy psychology of being coquettish to his mother arose in his heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, Madame still hasn't cultivated the secret of the Ma family to the realm of transformation, otherwise she will definitely see that the kid actually has something to ask for!" ”
Ma Lun raised his hand lightly and said, "Shaojun, just say it!" Let's see if the old body can do it for the young gentleman! ”
Nan Ying suddenly got up and walked outside the pavilion, moved the long piano by the pool into the pavilion, and said with a smile: "The kid is in a bad mood today, but listening to the lady's song is like a spring breeze!" Can you bother Madame to play another song for the boy? ”
Marlen's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay! The old body must live up to the mission! ”
The beautiful sound of the piano sounded again, and Nanying listened quietly.
Mullen's slender fingers beat rapidly, and simple notes converged into a gurgling stream, flowing endlessly.
Nanying's heart was peaceful, as if soaking in a hot spring, and his limbs were all relaxed.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano fell, gradually becoming lower, and there was a thick sadness, which made Nanying involuntarily think of the people on the verge of death in Yiyang City, in the face of that ruthless disaster, how many people wandered helplessly between life and death, how many people were buried by relatives whose hearts were like knives, the sound of countless cries, and numb faces..........
The sound of the piano gradually rose high, like a golden iron horse, the war drums were excited, it was like thousands of troops and horses fighting and galloping, the soldiers were roaring and shouting, Nanying clenched his fists, this is what will happen soon! He will inevitably fall into it, leading his brothers to fight bloodily for the people behind him until they succeed, but they may also shed their blood.
In the confusion, he seemed to see familiar figures moving forward bravely, but they fell one after another, including Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, and even himself.
He suddenly jumped up and roared, "No! ”
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and all the illusions in front of him disappeared.
Nanying only felt that his face was wet, and he was unconsciously full of tears.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and apologized to the surprised Maren, "What a sin to interrupt Madame's good news!" It seems that I am not a confidant! ”
Ma Lun looked at Nanying blankly, and sighed for a while: "Shaojun is too humble!" In decades, you were the first person to indulge in the sound of my piano and not be able to extricate yourself! ”
She suddenly said faintly: "Shaojun! Are you going to participate in the court's war to destroy the Taiping Dao? ”
Nanying seemed to be pushed hard, and took a few steps back before he shouted, "How does Madame know?" ”
Ma Lun said slowly: "The old body is still old-eyed, and even Zhang Ji bows his head to you, and the person who sent you to the mansion today is still a royal guard, so you are the person of the Son of Heaven, right?" ”
"Recently, Luoyang has been stormy, although the news has been tightly sealed, but the old body can still feel the intention of killing, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict to completely eradicate the Taiping Dao, you are afraid that you will not stay out of the matter, right?"
Nanying looked at Maren in disbelief, and a chill welled up from the bottom of his heart: "Madam, since you can guess it, then ........."
Mullen suddenly smiled: "You are wrong! It should be said that no one knows your secret except me! Zhang Ji is Zhang Bozu's senior apprentice, it's ridiculous that he doesn't know that I am friends with his master, and Zhang Bozu has never had such a number one apprentice as you! So, you're clearly masking your identity! ”
"A few months ago, the plague that shook the world was cracked by Zhang Ji and another unknown miracle doctor in Yiyang, and soon after, I heard from a secret way that the Son of Heaven was assassinated in Yiyang when he visited Weifu! When I saw you reprimanding Zhang Ji a few days ago, wouldn't I think about it? ”
Nan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't give up: "But madam, how do you know that the person escorting me is the Son of Heaven Guard?" ”
Maren covered his mouth and smiled: "Look! Scarewn, right? In fact, this answer is even less worth mentioning! Because, the maidservant who welcomes you at the door is He Zhen's relative! ”
Nanying said foolishly: "It's that simple? ”
"It's that simple!" Ma Lun was still laughing, "It's a pity that Shaojun is cautious everywhere, but he never imagined that he would show his feet in this regard!" ”
Nanying was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help laughing. In fact, his back was covered with sweat, this Mullen is really amazing!
Ma Lun smiled: "Shaojun seems to be in a much better mood!" So can it be said that Yu Lao Shen knows? What is it that makes a determined person like Shaojun a little masterless? ”
She stared at Nan Ying and said, "There is a little bit of Shaojun who can rest assured!" I will keep my mouth shut about everything you do, and no third person will ever know about your conversation with me! ”
Nanying sat back and said distressedly: "I chose a path, or I have to take this road, because it is related to the life and death and honor of many people, but if this road goes on, I am destined to hurt many people!" Alas, am I a little upside down and can't get up to my point? ”
Maren nodded, "I see! Then when the old body was playing just now, it must have attracted the demons in Shaojun's heart, and you saw some of the most terrifying scenes. That's exactly what you're most worried about, right? ”
Nan Ying couldn't believe it: "Madame can really see through people's hearts? ”
Maren pursed his lips and smiled: "That's not it! It's just that people are old, they see a lot, and of course they understand a lot! Isn't this true of most things in the world? ”
She gently placed a celadon tea bowl in front of Nanying and said, "Young gentleman, please see, what is this?" ”
Nanying said inexplicably: "Is it an empty bowl?" ”
Maren shook his head and said, "No, this is your heart!" ”
Nanying blurted out, "What? Is this my heart? ”
Ma Lun didn't answer, and after gently pouring the tea into the tea bowl, he said, "Shaojun, look at it again, what is this?" ”
Nanying somewhat understood that this talented woman must express her intentions to herself in a manner similar to Zen machines.
He said respectfully: "Please teach Madame!" ”
Mullen looked at the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, and said leisurely: "The reason why people live is because they have hearts!" And the emptiness of the heart can be loaded! Just like this tea bowl, it can only be filled with water when it is empty, and it will be full. But if there is no water in the bowl, it is empty! But just because there is nothing in the heart doesn't mean that a person is dead! Is that right? ”
Nanying was confused and had to nod.
Mullen's deep eyes looked at Nanying: "Everything comes into being from nothing, and everything starts from nothing. If Shaojun's heart is filled with not only water, but also nothingness, your heart can accommodate all things in heaven and earth! In this way, you can naturally see the root and cause of everything, and of course, you can make the right choice! You'll never say it again, and you'll have to choose this path! ”
"Nothingness?" Nanying said dumbfoundedly, "But how can you reach this realm?" ”
"If you want to put nothingness, you have to be at peace of mind!"
"What is tranquility?"
"Have you ever heard a word from Shaojun? There is no virtue without indifference, and there is no far-reaching without tranquility! ”
"I've never heard of it, but I seem to understand what Madame means! Are you telling me to let go of all my complicated thoughts and face the future calmly? ”
"Not bad! Life is born with twists and turns, and there are often difficulties and ups and downs. If we don't have a broad mind and a firm will, how can we win without arrogance and defeat? Pampering and humiliation are not shocked, rich and poor are not moved, good times are not obvious, difficulties are not depressed, dangers are not all over, adversity is not frustrated, this is tranquility! ”
"I, I thought that tranquility was no quarrel with the world!"
"Shaojun, you are wrong! What is Contentious? To live and live long is to fight against the heavens. What is there that is not in contention in the mortal world? ”
Maren casually popped up a few chapter symbols and said with a smile: "Look! I use the same finger power, but the sound of the strings is different, and even they are fighting! ”
Nanying hugged his heart with a thousand thoughts, and he said in a low voice: "I understand!" Whatever a person wants to do, as long as he has a quiet heart, then he must choose the right path! ”
Ma Lun happily stroked his palm and said, "Shaojun is really extraordinary!" No matter what you do, no matter how far you go in the future, even your hands are covered in blood. But as long as you always pursue the peace of mind, there will be no more confusion and guilt! Just because, you must be right! This is also the true meaning of 'no indifference can not be enlightened, and no tranquility can go far'! ”
Nan Ying's eyes lit up: "Dare to ask Madame, who said this?" ”
Maren said lightly: "This is a royal person!" He is the grandson of Gaozu mentioned by Shaojun earlier, Liu An, the king of Huainan! ”
Nanying shook violently: "What? Liu An? ”
Marench said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Shaojun has anything to do with this King of Huainan? ”
Nan Ying was stunned for a long time, and suddenly got up and took a long look: "Thank you Madame for your teachings!" The boy only healed his wife's body, but his wife's words healed my heart! Today's love, the boy will never forget! ”
After speaking, she turned around and left.
Maren looked at his distant figure, and a touching smile appeared on his lips: "What a good boy!" ”
She wouldn't know what kind of turbulent waves were being set off in Nanying's heart at this moment? Liu An, Liu An! Daddy, Daddy! The world is full of wonder and confusion! Is this your spirit in heaven continuing to guide me, a child lost in another time and space, in such a bizarre way?
