119, the moon and clouds on the horizon, drinking in front of the grave
In the Zhao family's old house, after the family discussed this matter, the family returned to the dinner table, laughing while eating, but also jubilant and joyful.
After a while, Zhao's mother was already sleepy, and since she learned that Zhao Xuan had gone to Juye to be the prefect, Zhao's mother had this habit.
So the two discussed, she and Zhao's father rented out the land at home, and re-renovated the home all over the side, although the difference between the front and back is not big, but the inside gives people a unique feeling of holes, neat houses, clean ground, cellars, firewood rooms, kitchens are all available, people can't help but shine.
And it was from this time that Zhao's father and Zhao's mother stopped working, and when they were in a good mood, they would do some needlework, or read and write, and life was also very fun.
Zhao Xuan, who was sitting on the side, watched his mother yawn one after another, Zhao Xuan was a little distressed, and hurriedly let his mother go to sleep.
When his mother retreated into the room, the father and son continued to drink, and before they knew it, Zhao Xuan was already drunk, and seeing his father drunk at the dinner table, Zhao Xuan shook his head helplessly.
In the past, Zhao Xuan's alcohol consumption was not much different from Zhao's father's drinking, and since he became an official, Zhao Xuan's entertainment has become more and more, and unconsciously, Zhao Xuan's alcohol consumption has reached a higher level, although his body is somewhat uncontrollable, but Zhao Xuan's brain is still very sober.
He staggered a little and stood up and helped his father into the home remedies.
Zhao Xuan slowly helped his father up from the table, originally he planned to help his father back to the room, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xuan felt that this was not appropriate, so he helped his father to the side room, helped him to the bed, took off his clothes and pants, and covered him with a thin quilt, in case the weather was cool at night and his father caught a cold.
Zhao Xuan originally wanted to help his father to his room, but when he walked to the door, Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered that his mother was sleeping very shallowly, and some big movements could wake her up.
After helping my father to the side room, I looked at the clouds in the sky, very thin, slowly drifting towards the full moon in the sky, where the white clouds arrived, as if hanging a veil on the full moon, sometimes wild, sometimes charming, but also very beautiful.
After looking at the moon for a while, Zhao Xuan slowly lowered his head, how many people in this mortal world are not like these clouds? In the end, it was just someone else's wedding dress and a fame for others.
Zhao Xuan shook his head helplessly and walked towards his room......
Back in the room, Zhao Xuan found that all kinds of things in this room were still the same as before, exactly the same as when he left, and walked forward to wipe it, Zhao Xuan found that there was not the slightest dust, thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Xuan's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, he didn't expect that his parents would clean their room every day in the past three years.
Zhao Xuan didn't dare to think about what would happen if he died, Zhao Xuan shook his head helplessly, but from this moment on, Zhao Xuan suddenly found that this life was not all his life, among them, there were also his parents, his friends, and even the forces behind him, from now on, he had to live well.
Thinking quietly on the bed, before he knew it, Zhao Xuan was tired and had fallen asleep......
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan got up and looked out of the sky, it was only the fourth watch at this time, Zhao Xuan looked at the beam quietly.
Stunned for a while, Zhao Xuan looked up and found that the sky was already a little bright, Zhao Xuan hurriedly got up and got dressed, if it was any later, Zhao Xuan probably wouldn't be able to come back.
When he came back this time, in addition to bringing some silver taels and supplements for his parents, Zhao Xuan didn't even bring a few simple clothes, smelling the clothes that were already a little smelly on his body, Zhao Xuan himself wanted to laugh, and hurriedly took off his clothes and went to the courtyard to take a hot bath with cold water.
After a while, when Zhao Xuan finished washing and changing his clothes, and dried his wet hair with a dry cloth, Zhao's father walked out of the door and saw Zhao Xuan doing his hair there, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Get up so early!" ”
As soon as Zhao Xuan heard that it was his father's voice, he hurriedly turned around and hurriedly replied, "Yes, I got up when I couldn't sleep!" Dad, didn't you get up early? ”
Father Zhao smiled slightly, licked his face and said, "I really didn't expect your kid to drink so much now." ”
Although Zhao Xuan was noncommittal, he still smiled and said, "Please, Dad, it's obvious that your alcohol consumption is getting worse and worse, okay!" ”
Seeing that no one could beat anyone, the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
After a while, Father Zhao looked at Zhao Xuan with a low voice and said, "When are you leaving?" ”
Zhao Xuan carefully calculated the time, and said after half a ring: "I'm almost leaving, after all, I have to give my grandfather incense last time on this trip!" Otherwise, I would really be unfilial. ”
Father Zhao nodded, "Yes, although I entered the court as an official, at least I haven't lost my heart by the word snobbery!" ”
Zhao Xuan smiled, there was no affirmation, no denial.
At this time, Zhao's mother walked out of the room, and she was very curious when she saw the father and son getting up so early, especially Zhao Xuan, and her face couldn't help but be full of surprise.
Zhao Xuan looked at his mother like this, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong, mother?" ”
Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Xuan, and after half a ring, she slowly spoke: "When did your child develop the habit of getting up early, not bad!" ”
Zhao Xuan smiled and said to his parents: "Dad! Mother! If nothing happens, I'll go to my grandfather's grave and have a look! ”
Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Xuan who was in such a hurry to leave, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you leave so early, and you didn't stay for a meal?" ”
Zhao Xuan shook his head, it's not that he didn't want to have breakfast, he was really afraid that those people would block their doors early, if that was the case, Zhao Xuan wouldn't be able to cope with it, not only the people from this village, but also the people from other villages, then Zhao Xuan wouldn't be busy to death, and it would be impossible for him to deal with these people when he came back this time, once he coped, then Zhao Xuan would no longer have to think about going back to the capital to resume his life, just stay at home directly.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Xuan's anxious look, they were also afraid that such a situation would happen, if it really happened, then there would really be a problem, the two looked at each other, Zhao's mother hurriedly took out some dry food from the kitchen and said: "I didn't prepare anything for you last night, there is only so much dry food left at home, go quickly!" ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, and after packing the dry food with a bag, he went out.
When he arrived at the door, the coachman was already waiting at the door of Zhao Xuan's house, looked around, and after seeing that there was no one, Zhao Xuan got into the carriage, rode the dust, and walked towards the back mountain.
And just after Zhao Xuan left, when it came to the fifth watch, people had begun to come sporadically at the door of Zhao Xuan, and by the time of the sixth watch, the Zhao family's mansion had been surrounded by those poor students.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother went out to see, and they were immediately startled, these people couldn't get out of the house because the door was blocked, and they didn't listen to them several times, and in desperation, the two of them had to retreat to their homes and wait for them to leave......
The carriage walked on the road leading to the back mountain, fortunately the road was quite smooth, and the carriage could still pass through it, but after arriving at the back mountain, the road up the mountain was too narrow, and it would roll over if he was not careful, and the coachman looked at Zhao Xuan and did not get out of the car, so he could only smile dryly: "My lord, it is really not good to go up here, if the horse is disobedient, it is very easy to roll over, you see, why don't you get off here, the little old man will go to the nearby town to drink tea for a while, and I will wait for you here when you are here, what do you think?" ”
Hearing him say this, Zhao Xuan had no reason to refuse, after all, the road here was too narrow, and ordinary carriages couldn't go up at all, seeing that there was still a long way up the mountain here, Zhao Xuan was really a little helpless, and had no choice but to get off.
Zhao Xuan thought about it carefully, now that it has been three years, Zhao Xuan has no time to climb the mountain, although he can also run in the morning, but compared to his initial physique, Zhao Xuan can't help but feel a little tired.
Arriving at his grandfather's cemetery, Zhao Xuan was already out of breath, and he was going to prepare incense cases, incense, and tributes in the town...... Placed in front of his grandfather's grave, Zhao Xuan took out the wine, poured it for his grandfather first, and then poured wine into his own cup.
If someone is beside Zhao Xuan at this moment, they will definitely find that there are tears in the corners of Zhao Xuan's eyes at this moment, and he talks to his grandfather about his experience in the past three years from time to time, although Zhao Xuan has not told his father many life-threatening topics, but it does not mean that Zhao Xuan will not tell his grandfather the stories in the past three years.
Unconsciously, Zhao Xuan had been talking for an hour and a half, and Zhao Xuan himself didn't realize that he had cut things to such a short time and still told a very long story.
But at least there was enough time, and when he left, Zhao Xuan was slightly drunk and walked down the mountain very casually.
Zhao Xuan came down a little early, and the coachman hadn't arrived yet, so Zhao Xuan was enjoying the scenery around.
I have to say that they are also very beautiful here, although the mountains are not high, but they are indeed very beautiful, the eagles that fly by chance in the forest, the stream that flows through the forest, and the leaves through which the sun shines, like a picture scroll, blooming in this place, very full of charm, at this moment, Zhao Xuan found the beauty here.
After a while, it was almost time, and the coachman came.
Zhao Xuan got into the carriage, and headed in the direction of home, when he returned home, it was almost completely dark, and the people at the door had also gone home, they were poor students, but they didn't want to spoil the status in Zhao Xuan's heart, "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Music" were just the most basic problems in their eyes, so they also paid great attention to the topic of "Rites".
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother waited a little anxiously outside the door, and the two of them were very worried that Zhao Xuan would not be able to come back, but at the same time, they were also very worried about Zhao Xuan's accident on the way, after all, they were going to the back mountain, and there would be occasional robbers on the back mountain, if there was any problem at that time...... Thinking of this, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were already a little stunned.
But fortunately, Zhao Xuan finally came back, the two of them looked forward to the stars and the moon and finally gave him back, Zhao's father hurriedly stepped forward, the smile on the corner of his mouth was about to crack, he was very happy, happy that Zhao Xuan could come back, "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, and hurriedly said, "Mother, is the meal ready?" I am hungry! ”
As soon as she heard Zhao Xuan say that he was hungry, Zhao's mother hurriedly said: "It's done, it's done, it's not just waiting for you to come back, come on, come and eat!" ”
Zhao Xuan followed the two of them obediently, Zhao Xuan didn't know when he would be able to go home again in the future, so after thinking about it, he stayed, as long as he left early tomorrow morning, there would be nothing to do......
Zhao Xuan and his parents did not go to bed early this time, they had no sleep all night, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother both asked Zhao Xuan to pay a lot of attention when he was outside, although Zhao Xuan understood these truths, he was still very cooperative, because he knew that as long as he showed the slightest expression of indifference, his parents would be very disappointed.
So in order not to disappoint his parents, Zhao Xuan had to pretend, sitting there, even if he was napping, he didn't dare to deliberately express it, while his parents seemed to be very energetic, and they chatted all night.
And this night, they didn't fall asleep, Zhao Xuan was really helpless about his parents' situation, looking at the sky was about to brighten, Zhao Xuan said to his parents, and left, and before leaving, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother didn't forget to ask Zhao Xuan a few more words, of course, they also hoped that Zhao Xuan would come back sooner next time.
Looking at his parents like this, Zhao Xuan was really helpless, so he said, "Dad! Mother! Now that the child is rich, he also has two sets of courtyards in the capital, or you two elders will come to live in the city with me, and the environment there will not be bad! ”
Father Zhao shook his head, "Although the capital is very good, but your mother and I are a little old after all, and it is not suitable to be so tired anymore, besides, this house in my hometown is also very important, how to say that we can't forget our ancestors, okay, don't let the coachman delay for too long, get in the car quickly, remember to write to us often!" ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, got into the car without looking back, he also wanted to get in the car very much, but he was afraid that when he turned around, he would stay soft-hearted, and Zhao Xuan didn't know that Zhao's mother, who was under the car, had already cried into tears when she returned home.
And Zhao Xuan's carriage was heading in the direction of returning home......
