Chapter 9 I settled in the Tang Dynasty
Wujiang County, Hezhou, the county seat that has been haunting Xie Ao's mind, is finally presented to him today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Wujiang County is only a small county seat, and the prosperity of Yangzhou cannot be compared. The most famous place in the county is Wujiang, where Xiang Yu killed himself.
Xie Ao has always been a black household since he came to Datang, thanks to the middle-aged man riding a white horse who gave him a blank space. It is a monk who is a monk and a monk, and a certificate issued by the government to prove his legal identity. With Dumu, you can not only be exempt from money, avoid forced labor, protect assets, but also travel freely. So at that time, it was very sought-after.
The middle-aged man said, "Okay, since you don't want to enter my door, then let's leave it at that." ”
"It's just a pity that I couldn't learn the Seven Stars from you."
"It's a long time coming, and we'll see you again if we have a fate."
After the two said goodbye, Xie Ao bought two steamed cakes at a steamed cake stall. Just as he was biting into the steamed cake, a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old stopped his way.
The little girl first stared at Xie Ao carefully, crying for a while and laughing for a while. Then the little girl ran over and hugged Xie Ao, and said, "Shiro, you're finally back, we're all worried about death, and we thought we'd never see you again." The little girl wept and said intermittently.
Xie Ao took the little girl's hand away and looked at her carefully. Crying with pear blossoms on his face, like a tearful man. Although she is wearing plain clothes, she can't hide her beauty. "This girl, I think you recognize the wrong person, I'm not Shiro, and I don't know you."
"Silang, I'm your maidservant Xiaoqian, we grew up together, have you forgotten?"
"Xiaoqian, this name seems to be a little familiar."
In fact, ten days ago, Wujiang also staged a tragedy.
Ten days ago, the water of the Wujiang River was crystal clear, with fish swaggering and birds flying freely on the branches. The silence was broken by the wheezing of a teenager. I saw a teenager running desperately along the river, his forehead covered with beads of sweat. There was an anxious look on his face.
The young man is called Xie Shilang, a native of Wujiang County, Hezhou, and his ancestral home is Xie Shi, Chen County. The ancestors have been officials for generations, but since the Tang Dynasty, there are few officials. The eldest brother died early, and the second and third sisters have been married. Since childhood, he has studied literature, and his literary talents are brilliant, and he is a famous talent in Wujiang County, because he stays in the study all day long, so he is nicknamed "Four Nerds".
As soon as he came out of the study that day, the nurse hurriedly said to him: "Shiro, Xiaoqian was taken away by Wang Mazi. "Xiaoqian's full name is Yang Qian, she is the daughter of a nurse, she grew up with Shiro, and the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Wang Mazi is a well-known ruffian in Wujiang County, because he has a lot of pockmarks on his face, so everyone calls him Wang Mazi.
Shiro asked suspiciously, "Wang Mazi, why did you take Xiaoqian away?" ”
The nurse replied, "I heard that it is to repay the debt, and I want to pull it back to Wang Mazi to be a maidservant." ”
"Is it a good deed done by my ruined cousin?"
"That's what I heard from the neighbors."
After listening to the nurse's narration, Shiro ran away. He was going to save Xiaoqian, he ran and ran desperately, and finally caught up with Wang Mazi.
But what's the use of a nerd who has no power to tie the chicken, three times and five divided by two, he was beaten by Wang Mazi's followers and his nose and face were swollen, and then he still entered the Wujiang River. Shiro was supposed to know how to swim water, but just as he wanted to swim back to the shore, he was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, because Shiro was used to backstroke, so he was hit by an arrow in the abdomen. Blood stained the entire nearby river.
Shiro struggled desperately and shouted desperately. He broke the cluster of arrows with his hands, but it was all in vain. It was as if he heard someone laughing on the shore. Shiro muttered, "Xiao Qian...... I am not reconciled to ......" The river blurred his eyes and ears until it was not above his head. Shiro gradually sank, he felt difficult to breathe, and his mouth was foaming like a small fish. The more I struggle, the more powerless I feel, is this the end of life? Maybe!
Just as he was dying, Shiro felt that the river seemed to be fluctuating, and a huge tension was desperately pulling him out. He was pulled into a twisted tunnel, and in a daze he saw a dark shadow coming towards him at the other end of the tunnel......
Xiaoqian told Xie Ao everything she knew, and Xie Ao was thinking about what had happened recently. He finally knew that he had crossed over with a teenager, both of whom were named Xie Ao. Xie Ao was 22 years old in his previous life, and he was 17 years old in this life, with an age difference of 5 years. After being polished by the time tunnel, the two of them look exactly the same, anyway, the current Xie Ao is exactly what the young man looks like. Xie Ao only knew that he had become younger at first, but he never expected that his appearance when he was young was so similar to Xie Ao in this life.
After thinking clearly, Xie Ao said to Xiaoqian, "I only remember that I fell into the river that day, and I can't remember anything else." ”
"It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, as long as you are safe, the main family will be very happy if they see you return safely, others are haggard these days, let's go, let's go home."
When they came to the door of a big mansion, they saw two big characters written on the plaque, "Xie Fu".
Walking into the house, a faint sandalwood poured into his nose, and there was a sound of knocking on the wooden fish in his ears, as if someone was chanting: "Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when you walk in the deep Prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all suffering......
Entering the main room, the antique display is all around, the room is neat and clean, and the bookshelves not far away are full of books.
"Master, who do you see is back?" Xiao Qian shouted.
I saw the old man who was reciting the scriptures turn around. Xie Ao saw an old man with a furrowed face, his sideburns and hair were gray, and his eyes revealed shrewdness and wisdom. When he saw Xie Ao standing in front of him, with tears in his eyes, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Thank you Bodhisattva apparition, thank you Bodhisattva apparition......"
The old man cried with joy, wiping his tears with one hand and holding Xie Ao's hand with the other. muttered, "Jiao'er, is it really you?" Let Daddy see, it's Daddy who hasn't taken good care of you all these years, I knew that something like this would happen, I should have asked someone to teach you martial arts, but you are weak, like your great-grandfather, you like to read. Do you know? Daddy has been very tormented all these years, and he has been in tears as he speaks. ”
In fact, Xie Ao has always been a nurse taking care of him since he was born, he has grown up with Xiaoqian since he was a child, and his father did not take care of him. What is the reason for this?
His father told him a story: Daddy used to be the general of the Sui Dynasty's three princes, and Emperor Yang was killed by Yu Wenhua, I was disheartened, so I decided to retire and take your aunt back to my hometown in Wujiang. It didn't take long for your aunt to get pregnant, and I watched your aunt's belly bulge day by day. Daddy is also happy. Because your eldest brother died in his early years, no one in my generation can inherit the incense.
But the good times don't last long, seeing that your aunt is about to give birth, your aunt's belly is still bulging, and it is still the same after twelve months of pregnancy. It wasn't until the thirteenth month that you were born, and your aunt unfortunately died in childbirth. Soon after you were born, you got sick every day and cried a lot every night. Later, a high monk passed by and gave you a ritual, and he was cured.
The eminent monk said to me, "In all dynasties, there were many premature babies, but very few were born late. But there are special cases, the first emperor was born in thirteen months, and achieved a hegemony; Nezha's mother, who was pregnant for three years, was born before Nezha, and killed a big dragon at a young age. Therefore, it is said that late-born babies have superior intelligence, and I believe that Ling Lang will be the dragon and phoenix among people when he grows up. ”
After listening to the words of the monk, I was full of joy, thinking that I Xie Wen would fight on the battlefield all my life, and I would be fortunate to have a son in my old age, and I was fortunate to be favored by God.
However, the monk continued: "This son and you are naturally at odds with each other, and you must not get close to him until he is 17 years old, otherwise there will be great calamity for both of you." ”
Although you and I haven't been able to see each other all these years, Daddy is really happy to see you grow up. The Xie family has a future, and Daddy's wish has been fulfilled, so he took refuge in Buddhism. That high monk is really a man of God, from childhood to adulthood, you are comparable to your grandfather in reading, and you have invited several teachers at home, but in the end you can't preach. Over the years, Daddy has been silently paying attention to your growth, but he has never educated you, which is Daddy's responsibility.
Our Xie family, after the Xie family of Chen County, is also a famous family, and our Xie family has been high-ranking officials for three generations. Your great-grandfather was the Liang Shi of the Southern Dynasty, your grandfather was General Chen Zhenbei, and your father and I were the general of the Sui Dynasty. I can't break it in your generation.
The ancients used to say; "Scholar, both civil and military, Daddy hopes that you can be a person who is both civil and military in the future." It was Daddy's fault in the past, and Daddy will try his best to teach you in the future, so that you can become a person with both civil and military skills.
You have worked hard all these years, and the courage on your shoulders is not light. Back then, the Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family were at their peak for more than 300 years during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and were known as the top gate valves. However, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Langya Wang clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan are still prosperous, while the Chenjun Xie clan has gradually been submerged in the long river of history, which makes people sigh. Today's high-ranking officials of the Xie family in the court are even rarer.
"Jiao'er, you have a relationship with Daddy, Daddy doesn't blame you. After all, Daddy hasn't taken good care of you all these years, and Daddy will definitely take care of you wholeheartedly in the future. ”
Xie Ao replied: "I don't have any impact on the previous things at all, maybe I fell into the river and burned my brain!" ”
"As long as you're healthy, Daddy doesn't matter. In the future, we will have good benefits. Xiaoqian, is your aunt back? Let her hurry up and go to the whole meal, and our family will have a reunion dinner tonight. ”
The nurse came back from outside, and as soon as she saw Xie Ao, she "pounced" and fell to the ground. Xie Ao was a little overwhelmed and hurriedly helped her up. The nurse blamed herself beside her, "Shiro, I was to blame at the beginning, if it wasn't for saving Xiaoqian, you wouldn't have been thrown into the river, it's all my fault." ”
"Nurse, get up quickly, I don't blame you for this. If you want to blame, blame Wang Mazi. ”
Seeing that Shiro and the main family were not angry, the nurse happily went to cook. It didn't take long for Huang Chengcheng's small rice, local chicken that was now killed and herded sheep, small green vegetables grown in his own field, and home-brewed turbid rice wine to be served.
Just as they were about to start their meal, a middle-aged man walked in, wasn't this the middle-aged man on a white horse he had seen before, why did he come here at this time?
Xie Ao asked, "Why are you?" How did you end up here. ”
"Then why are you here again?"
"This is my home."
"So, you're the missing child!"
At this time, Xie Wen also came out.
"Yingdeng has seen my uncle, Xie Hong is my uncle, thanks to General Wen's secret help, my uncle was able to retire safely, he heard the news of Ling Lang's disappearance, he was quite anxious, let me see what can help. Now that he sees that Ling Lang is safe and sound, he can rest assured. ”
"Thank you brother for your concern, I think that when I was an official in the same dynasty as your uncle, and I was also an official in the Chen County Xie family, I should help you wholeheartedly. Nephew, know the dog? The old man is happy today, come and have a few drinks together. ”
"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, Ling Lang is a young talent!"
"Awards, awards."
This meal, they ate for a long time, and drank a lot of wine.
Xie Ao felt that this was the most reassuring meal he had eaten since he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. Since then, he has a home and relatives in the Tang Dynasty, and he is no longer a lonely person. He looked at the sky and silently thought in his heart: Can you hear me, I will live well for you in Datang and honor your parents; You must also live well for me, and honor my father and mother. We all have to live well and live a wonderful life.
Who said that the alcohol content of the Tang Dynasty was low? This rice wine is also intoxicating. Xie Ao got drunk. This night was the most restful sleep he had since he came to the Tang Dynasty. Everything starts tomorrow and will open a new chapter, Xie Ao also has a home in the Tang Dynasty, and he no longer has to wander around.
