Chapter Seventy-One: The Thoughts of the Gu Family
The people who are shining in the beautiful spring light are Su Su, and tomorrow is the time for the brigade to return, except for Prince Ning and others who are guarding the spirit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info wanted to pick up the pen to write an excerpt, picked up the mouse jade official ink pen resting on the pen grid, licked the ink, but he was still hesitant, only the twists and turns of the pen first to write some greetings.
I heard the sound outside the door, and I couldn't help but want to push the door out again. repeated for a long time, until Kong Lifei pushed the door with his head covered and his head covered, and then put the pen down.
"In the future, I will be a civil official, but from now on, I will have to be with this Mo Chang companion, look at your ears and cheeks, it must be the fold of the foreign minister who is in trouble, right?" Kong Li flew in and sat down loosely on one of the four large chairs in the hall, smiled at me, and pointed to the desk.
"If you don't talk too much, you'll die," I rolled my eyes at him, but walked off the table, sat down on a chair beside him, and sighed, "It's really a pot that can't be opened, what are you doing outside, it's not a small noise." ”
"The lord is choosing a cavalry and archery master for Xiao Shizi, and everyone is performing martial arts over there, are you going?" Kong Lifei pouted and said, "Although you are afraid that you will not be able to win the first place in terms of riding and shooting, it is better than wasting a good spring here, isn't it?" ”
With that, he unceremoniously went to the wall and took off my crossbow, stuffed a wrench in my hand, and pulled me out into the boundless spring light.
The martial arts field is next to the purple rock cliff, there is a stream Chanjuan like a long neon, the grass and trees are slightly miserable in the mist rising from the sun in the humid afternoon, outside the bamboo, the east and west of the stream, the green and purple green, the clouds are deep and slightly cold, and the stream is not far away, and the stream is tortuous, divided into three pits, the south is downward, and it is boundless; The north is upward, and the attitude is immortal; The water of the spring is under a water curve in the middle, and there is a stone tablet next to the three sons of the graceful dragon.
Bypass the stele, you can see the martial arts field within a radius of 100 miles, the spring side opens the pond to plant the lotus ling, and builds the earth embankment, and the willow ten thousand plants are planted to resist the impact of the waterfall, at this time the small lotus is new, the willow lotus reflects each other, and the beauty of the end is very.
When I raised my eyes to look, I saw that there was an octagonal pavilion next to the pool, standing in two layers, with a diameter of twenty or thirty feet, there was a plaque "Jianting" on it, the main top was sincere, Song Guifei Niangniang, Pu Fei Niangniang, Xiao Shizi and others were all sitting in the pavilion to watch the martial arts.
"The Jianting Pavilion is to take the water as a mirror and the spring as a mirror. The stone table and stone bench in the pavilion are originally for visitors to take a rest, very cool and elegant, "when I saw it, Kong Lifei had already started to introduce, and then pointed to the north of the pavilion, a two-story building built on the side of the martial arts field, and said, "That is the tea room, the environment is quiet, the shade is covered, the scenery is elegant, and I heard that it is inconvenient to see the outside of the edicts are all upstairs to observe." ”
I saw that he was about to speak and stopped, thinking a lot, and my heart was clear, so I asked, "Could it be that Luo'er is also over there." But she is a Jiangmen woman, and she is also the identity of Cuiwei Hou, so she doesn't need to avoid it? ”
When Kong Lifei was about to answer, he saw a cold light with a dazzling silver light shooting towards us, and when we dodged it, a small finch was landing on the cold mang, nailing its wings to the ground.
After a round of applause from the side, he saw a man and a horse protruding first to get the booty. The man rode a white horse with a high head and beard, and immediately wore a silver inlaid cat's eye saddle head, and a white filial piety robe was tied tightly with cuffs and trousers, making him look more and more heroic. He was wearing a silver crown, wearing white python arrow sleeves, surrounded by a silver belt of beads, his eyes were like paint, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and there was a hideous wound on the back of his hand, so that he could see the grandeur of the general.
"Sheng Zheng," Kong Lifei over there had already greeted him, and I followed to greet him, Sheng Zheng also saw the two of us, hurriedly dismounted and smiled, "I just saw you." ”
The three of them retreated to each other, and on the other hand, Sheng Zheng led them all the way into the martial arts arena next to the various competitive events, and the fire field in the southwest was the most smoky and foggy, surrounded by military generals, and the competition looked very fierce. In the middle is a martial arts arena with several long knives and spears, and then there is a riding shooting range.
When he returned to the shooting range with Sheng Zheng, he saw Prince Ning and the "eight horses" around him surrounded by his own soldiers, and the eight horses were the eight "cloud horses" that Prince Jing personally selected and presented to him.
"It's really a thing that is dying." I didn't know why, but suddenly this sentence slipped out of my mouth, and I was startled.
Unexpectedly, Kong Lifei and Sheng Zheng felt very normal, and they continued: "Yes, these eight horses were personally selected, fed, and named when Prince Jing was alive, and each one was named after the word 'snow', 'Xueli', 'Xueqiu', 'Xueqi', 'Xueqi', 'Xueyi', 'Xueji', 'Xueqiu', 'Xueyi'. ”
Seeing Prince Ning's gentle gaze passing over a few of us, and still patting Bajun's buttocks affectionately without expression, we hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Prince Ning waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, but he didn't look at a few of us. Still staring at the riding range in front of him, there was no slightest ease in the gaze that spread into the distance inch by inch, but there was no complaint, just full of unfathomable heaviness, and that innate sense of seriousness.
The sun shines on Prince Ning's young face, but it makes me faintly and deeply feel that this is no longer the deep-minded, kind and forbearant young man I saw for the first time, after the baptism of blood and fire, through war and life and death, and even after many betrayals and injuries, his face has a faint indescribable complexity and maturity.
Prince Ning is still very polite to us, and I can't see the slightest difference on my face, but I know in my heart that there is already a layer of barrier between us that will not be pierced but is therefore more solid, and we are wrapping each other, and each other is on guard, and the friendship of former classmates is like a small boat drifting in the whirlpool and wind and waves, and it is difficult to sail in the wind and rain of reality and the turbulent waves of life, leaving only a meager piece of paper on the surface, which is pale and sad.
"Sheng Zheng, did you catch the four-leaf finches?" Prince Ning said to Sheng Zheng.
Sheng Zheng put me and Kong Lifei aside, stepped forward and offered the finch with a fist, the finch looked at Prince Ning pitifully with his dark eyes, and Prince Ning also gently stroked the finch in his hand, and the gentle and warm wind swept by his hands, but suddenly turned down, the finch was twisted straight into two ends, crushed in his hand, and was neatly almost blinked, and was abandoned on the ground, spreading out not much blood.
The soldiers next to him hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Prince Ning still wiped his hands with a warm gaze, and said indifferently: "Everyone go on the field to try their skills, whether it's comfortable and comfortable, this king is here to watch the battle." ”
As he spoke, he threw the bloodstained handkerchief to the ground, motioned to his soldiers to lead the two horses, and handed the whip to me and Kong Lifei.
"Yes." Kong Lifei and I took the order, but Kong Lifei suddenly smiled and said, "Back to the prince, you don't need two horses, I can share one horse with Fu Yannian, and you can perform skills for the prince", said, and smiled at me.
Memories are like sweeping away the dirt, removing the solvent of rust spots, and turning the gears of friendship back then, I let go of my horse and pulled Kong Lifei with one hand, and the two tacitly agreed to ride a horse together, and together with Sheng Zheng, they were involved in the crowd of horsemen and billowing smoke.
"The general's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain,"
"The strong man sang into the Han Pass." Kong Lifei and I each said a word, and then I tied the sleeves of my robe, and then tied the sleeves of Kong Lifei's robe, and set up the passionflower horn strong bow behind him, Kong Lifei raised his left hand while controlling the horse, put the bow behind him on my stretched left foot, and said to me, "Three positions on the port side, two hundred steps away, reindeer antlers, left and right, calibration,"
I would have taken a good posture and hit the two of them a few times before the arrow was set, and the two of them twisted together, moving from the front chest to the back like lightning, one left and one right, one positive and one backward, and swished at the reindeer antlers galloping in front of them. In a short time, there were cheers, and white arrows floated on the two antlers.
"What a tacit understanding!" Sheng Zheng praised beside him, and suddenly, he pulled out a chisel with a flat arrow from the quiver on the saddle, put the horse on his feet, leaned back, and turned his hand with a "medium!" Then I saw that his arrow brushed straight past the end of our two arrows, and broke the arrows and the body of the two arrows together, and made two crisp sounds.
In the midst of the cheers of the crowd, he jumped down, firmly grasped the horse, squinted his eyes and smiled, and motioned for us to continue in a challenging way.
I glanced at Kong Lifei, and Fang hooked each other's hands to change postures, such as two swallows galloping, pulling bows and shooting together, I smiled and said, "Three hundred steps, the tail of the bird, the double heart is linked." ”
So saying, the two of them flipped side by side, drew their bows and arrows, one after the other, and their two feathered arrows passed through the tail of a finch twice in succession along the same path, and knocked the finch to the ground.
There was another round of cheers behind him. Kong Lifei and I rode back and forth again, returned leisurely, and did not continue to win, while Sheng Zheng was still unsatisfied, and continued to compete with the generals under the belly of the horse.
It was day and night, Kong Lifei and I were still resting together, both resting in my bedroom. When I stayed for the third watch, I heard a knock on the door.
When I saw that Kong Lifei was sleeping sweetly, I didn't call him, put on my clothes and held the lamp, and opened an old screen with a closed page to block him, and then opened the door and went out. When he was waiting to see, it was Sheng Zheng who led a person, who was dressed in dark clothes and couldn't see clearly in the night.
I heard Sheng Zheng say that it was at the behest of Prince Ning, and it was convenient to bring a family member to tell the family that there was something going on. I hurried them into the house.
Before I could pour the tea, I saw the man in black behind me tear off the black gauze curtain on his head, revealing a handsome face that was not under Sheng Zheng.
"Yu Wenchen?" I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, but I still poured tea for both of them, lit two more claw lamps, and then sat down and asked, "Why are you?" What is a family affair? ”
Yu Wenchen didn't ambush either, just raised his hand and drank a cup of tea, and then said simply, "Youyou started to have a fever at night ago, although I invited a doctor, but I didn't see the fever fade, and the anxious sister-in-law scolded directly, and now I saw some convulsions, and my sister-in-law was scared, so I only asked me to ask General Fu to take leave and return early." ”
I heard that my baby daughter was sick, and my heart suddenly hung in my throat, but I still wondered in my heart, there were many servants in the heart, why did I send this Yu Wenchen to tell her, and why did Prince Ning send someone to bring it, and I was going to return tomorrow, so I hurried back at this time, whether it was inconvenient or not, many hesitations.
But I heard Yu Wenchen sneer and said, "I also told my sister-in-law that it will only be half a day sooner or later, General Fu is used to being outside, and he has been used to it in the army for a long time. But my sister-in-law asked me to tell you exactly what I said, and sent me this errand. ”
I heard him say this, although I knew in my heart that he was provoking me, but because of worry and shame, I was pulled in my heart and said it, so I only looked at Sheng Zheng for a while, with an inquiring face.
Who knew that Sheng Zheng didn't look at me, only made wooden stakes.
I thought that I would go to ask for leave at this time, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "In this way, the two of you are here later, I will go to Fu Shao Xiang to announce the leave, and I will return from time to time." ”
Both nodded.
Running all night, when it came to the dawn, the glow smeared all over the buildings of Pengcheng, reflected in a staggered way, and saw a delicate shadow outside the gate of the mansion from a distance, the weak willow Fufeng was wearing a jade-colored Luo Qun, a white narrow-sleeved round-necked shirt, draped with a high-necked embroidered moire moon-white cloud shoulders, and the thick black hair was high on the top, and the face of the jade was full of anxiety, waiting with a group of servants outside the door.
"Sifu," Yu Wenchen beside him was already hurrying forward, shouting, "Go and tell my sister-in-law that General Fu is back." ”
I also hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, strode into the house, and went straight to the bedroom, Qin Qingzheng was holding the child and pacing back and forth, followed by the nurse anxiously back and forth, waiting for me to hold the child to see.
I saw a child wrapped in a swaddling silk quilt with a blue face, a locked eyebrow, a frowning nose, a slight churn with difficulty, and a forehead, which was really hot. When he looked at Qin Qing again, he was already crying on the side.
I had never seen Qin Qing like this, and I was a little panicked for a while.
