Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mountain is High and the Moon is Small

Hearing this, Zhang Yunhua asked, "You can see Qingzhou?" How is he now? Ah Feng said: "Back to Zhang Gongzi, my son-in-law went to greet Master Cheng early in the morning, and wanted to take a picture with the escorted adults before the prisoner car arrived in Lin'an, but I didn't see it." Su Mengtang took a cup of tea and handed it to Ah Feng, puzzled: "Yesterday, Brother Xiang Kang told me that he had asked about the route from Qingzhou back to Lin'an, why didn't he see it?" Are you in the wrong place? ”

Ah Feng took the tea and said: "The girl doesn't know, my son-in-law originally heard that Zhao Gongzi and his party came from Deqing on the rural road, so they waited in the Chuyue Pavilion, who knew that they changed the old official road, from Chun'an to Lin'an, we didn't wait." Zhang Yunhua nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Ah Feng, help me tell your son-in-law, I rushed to Dali Temple before the third watch." Ah Feng said: "The little one knows, Zhang Gongzi, I'll go back." After that, he finished drinking the tea in his hand and bowed away.

Su Mengtang looked at Ah Feng's back and said, "Brother Yunhua, why do Lord Cao and Master Fan have to go far and far, will it be because they want to avoid the road they often take and go to meet someone else?" Zhang Yunhua shook his head and said: "Probably not, after all, Qingzhou is also in that group, if they really want to do anything like a fly camp dog, they will not be impatient enough to show their feet directly in front of Qingzhou." Su Mengtang said: "Also, I think that Qingzhou has been in the officialdom for so many years, and there are always some like-minded people who will help him, after all, this world is still the world of the Great Song Dynasty, not the Shi family." ”

Zhang Yunhua got up and looked at the Tianyun outside, groaned for a while, and said: "Mengtang, I won't tell you, even if I get to this step of the field, I still think that we can only rescue Qingzhou, as for Shi Miyuan, don't fight him." "But-" "Mengtang, I haven't told you yet, a few days ago, someone broke into Qingpingzhai at night, they were in the dark, and it was too easy to hurt the two children, and I would be afraid when I think about it." If Zhuo Ran and I hadn't written to Cheongju in the Jinshu room that day, or if we were drunk in the room, Jinshu himself might not have been that person's opponent, you know what I mean. ”

Su Mengtang walked over, grabbed the corner of Zhang Yunhua's clothes, and said, "Brother Yunhua, I listen to you, but don't you think that we are too cowardly?" Yunhua turned around and looked at Su Mengtang gently, and said: "Mengtang, for me, whether you are cowardly or not, compared with the two children, is not very important, and compared with Qingzhou's life, it is not very important. If simple forbearance can be exchanged for a lifetime of stability for everyone, there is nothing wrong with that. ”

Su Mengtang bowed his head silently and said, "Maybe you're right, Brother Yunhua, but I can't let go of Brother Zhao Hong's hatred." Yunhua looked at Su Mengtang deeply and said, "I can't let it go, Mengtang, but we are pushed away by the days." Two children are our weakness. This sentence was said calmly, but Su Mengtang heard all kinds of helplessness from it, she was a little distressed for a while, pulled the hand at the corner of Yunhua's clothes, gently shook his hand, and said: "It's good to wait for the child to grow up, Brother Yunhua, let's wait slowly." ”

After dinner, the lights were turned off in each room of Qingpingzhai one after another, only a few lanterns under the porch emitted a faint light, which was specially arranged by Su Mengtang, wanting to make an illusion that everyone in the courtyard had rested. At this time, in Zhang Yunhua's bedroom, there was a group of people standing, and the small orange lamp that Ximen gave to Qiuqiu in March was burning on the table. Su Mengtang personally put on a pine-ink-colored hooded cloak for Zhang Yunhua, and said, "Brother Yunhua, when you see Brother Qingzhou, let him relax."

Zhang Yunhua nodded and said: "This is natural, but Qingzhou's temper, on the contrary, the more critical it is, the more calm it is, I don't worry about this." Ximen March watched Yunhua clean up and said, "Uncle Yunhua, can you bring this to Uncle Qingzhou, I carved it with Xiao Qiu'er in the afternoon." As he spoke, he stretched out his little hand and put a Shoushan stone seal in Yunhua's hand.

Yunhua glanced at Su Mengtang with some surprise, and saw that she didn't know it, so he turned over the seal and looked at it carefully: it was a seal engraved by Zhu Wenyang, there was no word on the printing surface, only three triangular symbols in the lower left corner, and a small crescent moon in the upper right corner, Yunhua didn't understand what it meant, and asked March: "It's good, but March wants to tell me, what is engraved on it?" Ximen March saw that the adults didn't recognize it, and said a little proudly: "Uncle Yunhua, this is 'the mountain is high and the moon is small'." ”

Yun Hua put his gaze back on this seal, only to realize that this was originally a pictographic seal, with several mountains below, and a small moon on it, representing 'the mountain is high and the moon is small'. Su Mengtang exclaimed: "Not to mention the craftsmanship, how did you two come up with this idea, it's really ingenious." ”

"Xiao Qiu'er thought of it." Ximen March pulled Qiuqiu forward: "Xiao Qiu'er said that when Uncle Qingzhou sees this, he will think of Su Zizhan's 'the mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water will come out', we want Uncle Qingzhou to know that things will always fall into place." Su Mengtang looked at the seal in Yunhua's hand again and said: "The meaning of this is still a corner, then Qiu'er and March, why don't you directly engrave the second half of the sentence?" Qiuqiu said: "Uncle Zhao is in prison after all, if this gift falls into the hands of others, it will only be said that it is an idle chapter engraved with scenery, and it will not attract too much attention." ”

Su Mengtang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Qiuqiu's thoughtfulness, but he didn't show it in front of the children, he only took out a lotus green handkerchief, wrapped the seal delicately, and handed it to Yunhua Dao: "Then there is Brother Lao Yunhua, take it for the two children." Qiuqiu asked, "Sir, did you bring the letter we sent to Uncle Zhao last time?" ”

Yun Hua laughed lightly and said, "Xiaoqiu, next time, I don't know if I can see you Uncle Zhao this time, and I don't know if it will go well." Qiuqiu nodded and said, "It will go well." When Bihu heard this, he said to Su Mengtang: "Girl, then let's bring this pile of snacks we prepared, do you still want Zhang Gongzi to bring it?" Yunhua followed Bihu's gaze and saw a few cases at the door, with two large food boxes on the table, the food boxes were open, and there were all kinds of snacks inside.

Yunhua looked at Su Mengtang dotingly like a naughty child, and said, "Mengtang, how do you want me to bring such a big food box in?" ”
