Chapter 36: The Dusk of the Covenant (I)
The night of the third day.
The moonlight is like water, and the evening breeze is light.
Although natural disasters have been frequent in recent years, but in the city, I still can't feel any gloomy atmosphere.
Especially tonight's temple fair, wandering the streets, the wide road is lined with lights, and there is an east wind between heaven and earth to blow away thousands of trees and flowers, blowing fireworks one after another, and the stars fall like rain. The delicate lanterns are full of light, just like the fire trees and silver flowers in Chang'an.
The so-called "thousands of lights and trees, seven branches of flowers" is nothing more than that......
And in the Jingci Nunnery in the east of the city, it is a different scene.
The bluestone paved courtyard is planted with pine and cypress on both sides, the three small temples in front of the incense candles are brilliant, the brocade tent is embroidered, the nunnery is crowded with people, the visitors are like ants, the pilgrims are like tides, but all this Liang Zheng can not feel.
At this moment, he was wearing the dress of a small servant, standing in the scripture building of Jingci Nunnery, boredly guarding several large boxes of monk's robes and nuns.
Because now he is the "little guy" seconded by Liang Zheng and Liang Gongzi to Shen Wanyue to move things.
At the beginning, Xiangyun's pun on the sentence, he felt that he understood......
Shen Wanyue wanted to see herself, but as a lady who was waiting to leave the pavilion, it was inconvenient for her to meet with the man, so she asked herself to send a "little girl" to help.
Otherwise, how can you explain the Hehe Shen Mansion, which can't even find a family member who carries items?
It's just that he really didn't expect that people called "Xiaowu" to come, and they really moved things......
At least on the way from the Shen Mansion to the Jingci Nunnery, Shen Wanyue didn't say a word to herself at all, and she didn't even reward herself with the corner of her eyes when she sat in the incense car, but let the maid and the old mother stuff two boxes full of monk's robes, nun hats, incense candles and other materials for him to carry!
A well-known talent, a regimental training chief soldier, has actually become a porter who carries his shoulders......
It's really a day dog!
Liang Zheng really couldn't cry or laugh.
But fortunately, in modern times, he also had the experience of accompanying his girlfriend Li Zhenzhen to go shopping, and worked as her ATM and porter, so he ......
"That's it, who called Shen Wanyue exactly the same as Li Zhenzhen? Just go shopping with your girlfriend. Liang Zheng comforted himself silently in his heart.
Then, his "top boss", an old mother who looked very much like Mama Rong, left him in this place, leaving a sentence of "waiting here" and left in a hurry.
It's just that......
"It's been more than half an hour now, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Liang Zheng thought silently, while casually looking at the room.
The four walls are depicted with ochre, indigo color, hideous and splendid sandstone murals, the paintings are all classic stories of Buddhism, the painting style is as sharp as a knife, people and things are vivid, each painting is engraved with poetry, like a Buddhist scripture, stretched out in front of him.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, Liang Zheng began to unconsciously walk around the room, looking at the murals and the inscriptions on the paintings one by one, and finally stood quietly in front of the last "Flying Sky".
"What are you looking at?" A woman's voice said from behind.
Liang Zheng immediately recognized this voice, looked back, and sure enough, he saw Shen Wanyue standing behind him with a smile, graceful and graceful, like a fairy; It's just that at this moment, she is wearing the costume of a maid, and there is a female nun with a delicate face behind her.
But it doesn't matter what she wears, even if it's just a maid's costume, she wears an elegant and noble temperament on her body, and she just stands there casually, and her posture is nothing special, but it seems to be born with a terrifying magic, which is not to be looked up to. Even the brilliant lights and candles in the building seemed to have lost their light due to her arrival.
People in the world like to use "a smile to the city, and then a smile to the country." To describe the peerless beauty, but her smile, even the gods and Buddhas in the sky dare not look at her, lest she fall into the mortal world with greed. By her side, the delicate nun seemed to be just dust, and she could simply ignore it.
"You, you ......" Liang Zheng looked at her in a daze, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Along the way, he originally thought that he had just misinterpreted the other party's meaning - people really just wanted a little guy who moved things, but he didn't expect Shen Wanyue to really come to see him.
"I'm Miss's maid, Akane Zi." Shen Wanyue hurriedly spoke.
This is the "plan" she designed with Xiangyun for half a day last night.
Time goes back to last night, Shen Wanyue's room.
"You go and ask Liang Gongzi to send a family member to help me move things." Shen Wanyue said, "He will understand that I am going to see him." β
"But, girl." Xiangyun hesitated and asked, "If he doesn't understand what you mean, what if he really sends a family servant?" β
"No, it won't." Shen Wanyue shook her head firmly, "We have been with him for so long, I see Liang Gongzi's character and mentality, and he will definitely be able to understand." β
When Xiangyun heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "It turns out that you have been secretly paying attention to him, girl." β
Shen Wanyue was stunned, only then did she realize that she was not paying attention to what she was saying, and she couldn't help but blush: "Dead girl, make fun of me again." Don't make a fuss, let's be serious, when we get to Jingci Nunnery, we have to change our clothes. β
Xiangyun: "Why is that?" β
"You're really stupid, if I go to see him as Shen Wanyue, won't I be able to ask anything?" Shen Wanyue gave her a big blank look.
"But haven't you met at the front door?"
"Although we walked with him all the way, I always wore a shallow dew and a veil, so that he must not have recognized me. We've talked, but he can't hear me as long as I muddy my voice - and of course I can't pretend to be you, after all, you've been dealing with him all the way, and it's a goof......"
"I see, Miss is really calculating."
β¦β¦
Time comes back to the present.
Shen Wanyue pointed to the nun behind her: "This is the heart master of Jingci'an. Miss asked me to deliver something, so open the box quickly. β
"Oh, oh."
Liang Zheng opened the box as he said, Shen Wanyue took out a set of monk's clothes from it, and handed it to the nun behind her: "There are a total of thirty-six sets of clothes and hats here, and there is a little incense and candle in it, and I still have five hundred taels of silver tickets, all of which are mine...... A little bit of Miss Home's heart. β
"Amitabha." Xinyuan clasped her hands together, "The girl is so polite." β
"It's not worth it." Shen Wanyue waved her hand indifferently, turned her head again, and looked at Liang Zheng with a little nervousness, "You haven't told me yet, what were you looking at just now." β
Regarding her appearance, Shen Wanyue has absolute confidence.
When she was at the gate of the Shen Mansion, she once hurriedly met Liang Zheng, and she still clearly remembered Liang Zheng's eyes at that time: shocking, amazing...... This is the same reaction as the male servants in the family reacted when they first saw themselves.
But that's because they know their identity, so they naturally don't dare to think about it.
So to pretend to be a maid Qianzi to meet her fiancΓ©, just to see how Liang Zheng would react when he knew that he was just a maid.
You must know that in ancient times, the maid was the owner's private property, Liang Zheng had already married Shen Wanyue, and even if he was half the master of "Qian Zi", it was very common for a large family to have three wives and four concubines, and it was not a big deal to ask his wife for a maid to have a room.
So......
"If he is really the rumored evil man, he will definitely show greedy eyes, right?" Shen Wanyue thought so.
However, she soon found that Liang Zheng's eyes were surprised and appreciative, but there was no reaction like a pig brother.
This couldn't help but surprise and delight her - it seems that the rumors are really wrong, and her husband is not that kind of person!
However, she never expected that although the two did not talk much, Liang Zheng's memory was excellent, and Shen Wanyue looked too much like Li Zhenzhen, so Liang Zheng had already imprinted her voice and smile in her heart, and she had already recognized her from the first word she said.
Akane purple......
It turns out that his fiancΓ©e still has the hobby of COS's own maid......
Liang Zheng smiled slightly, and didn't say anything at the moment, but said: "I'm looking at this mural." β
"Murals?" Shen Wanyue followed his gaze curiously, "Well, this painting is "Flying Sky", as far as the painter is concerned, it is indeed a wonderful brushstroke, but it is nothing special, why do you look at it so carefully, you don't even know that you are behind you?" β
"I'm not talking about that." Liang Zheng interrupted, "I just wonder why all the murals here have inscriptions, but this one doesn't." β
Shen Wanyue couldn't help but look around......
That's true.
"Master Xinyuan, what's going on?" She turned her head, her eyes wandering, and asked the nun behind her in confusion.
"Amitabha, this painting is newly mounted, and I haven't had time to ask someone to inscribe a poem." Xinyuan replied with a smile.
"That's the case......" Shen Wanyue thought for a while and smiled at Liang Zheng, "Then it's better for you to do the question, how about it?" β
Liang Zheng didn't respond, but looked up at Xinyuan.
Xinyuan smiled: "Since Shen ...... Miss Qian Zi thinks it's good, and the poor nun naturally has no objection. As he spoke, he ordered someone to fetch the ink.
Liang Zheng then confessed and picked up the pen, but he didn't look at the painting, only looked at Shen Wanyue with his eyes. After a moment, he raised his hand and wrote:
If a person is like a spring flower,
Long sleeves dance in the world.
As soon as the two sentences came out, Shen Wanyue's eyes immediately lit up, and even the heart that had been smiling at them changed her face.
The flying god painted in "Flying Sky" is the fusion of Buddhist celestial people and Taoist feather people, with no wings, no feathers, no auspicious clouds, no round light, borrowing clouds but not relying on clouds, but the clothes are fluttering, the ribbons are flying, and the volley soars, and the wind returns to the snow.
Liang Zheng's two sentences are like the finishing touch, how can it not be amazing.
However, when he wrote this, he involuntarily stopped his pen and just looked at the mural in a daze.
People are like spring flowers, shaped like swallows, and the long sleeves are dancing in the world......
Thinking about it in modern times, at the welcome party, I played with Li Zhenzhen Qin and Xiao together, and the dancers around me at that time were also feathered clothes and tassels......
Everything seems like yesterday, but it has been a hundred years.
"What about the other two?" Shen Wanyue finally couldn't help but ask.
Liang Zheng turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and wrote:
The beauties are all paid to the water, but I am the best in the west.
At this time, Shen Wanyue's face turned red, but her eyes were brighter than just now, and there was an indescribable taste. The candlelight refracted against her lustrous skin, as if a divine halo shrouded her.
She is an extremely smart woman, how can she not see the meaning of "Xizi" = "Qian Zi"?
Xinyuan didn't see it, but he couldn't stop nodding and praised: "Amitabha, the donor is more than the god of Xi Shi, this sentence is really amazing." β
Liang Zheng smiled silently, just quietly looked at the picturesque woman in front of him with his eyes, and approached her step by step......
It's like walking towards Li Zhenzhen, going through 500 years of time......
At the beginning, on the broken bridge of the West Lake, Li Zhenzhen also approached him step by step......
Similar images, different times overlap wonderfully at this moment.
So, feeling the man's approaching footsteps, as well as that momentary gaze, the girl's cheeks turned even redder.
And the chest, which can hold up the robe, is also rising and falling violently...... Declare her mood at this moment.
"You, you ......" Shen Wanyue whispered lightly, wanting to reprimand the other party for his rudeness, but inadvertently looked at Liang Zheng's deep eyes, so she hurriedly turned her gaze away, thought about it, and couldn't help but hang her head, "I, I'm really so good-looking?" β
"Beautiful."
"Poor mouth."
Shen Wanyue only lowered her head, and an imperceptible smile flashed on her face: "I'm not poor with you, I have to serve the girl." β
Saying that, Lianbu moved lightly, and was about to go out, but was called by Xinyuan: "You don't need to go to the front hall, your young lady has already gone back." β
"Since that......'s the case," Liang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, "Why don't I send the girl home." β
Shen Wanyue hesitated slightly, and secretly thought in her heart: Sure enough, he is a careful person, and he is thoughtful. When he turned around and saw that Liang Zheng was still looking at him steadily, he couldn't help but blush again and nodded slightly.
