Verse 46: For the old man came
Lao Bai led Xiao Wu and Xiao Nan out to go back to Yanlou, and Lao Bai said to the two of them: "Good boy, no matter what, he is also sensible, and he knows that the affairs of our village master cannot be easily told to others."
Xiao Wu said: "If we hadn't met the master of the big village, how could we still have a life, Brother Bai, do you think those people just now are like good people, and you just agreed to others?"
Lao Bai said: "If you don't promise others, will you ask others to detain me too?" Anyway, it's just a sentence, Dazhai mainly doesn't want to recognize her, just hide, anyway, she can't find the entrance to the village. ”
Xiao Wu didn't have an idea, so he had to listen to Lao Bai's words. Lao Bai touched his belly and thought: "The willows by the river are green, and the wheat seedlings are green on the ridges?" I can understand any couplet, and it doesn't sound very ...... It's very elegant, it's not complicated. ”
The three of them walked to the door of the steamed bun shop, and Lao Bai said to Xiao Nan and Xiao Wu: "Don't tell you about today's matter, I'm afraid it's the private matter of the owner of the village, so you can say that the two of you saw someone stealing things and caught the thief."
Xiao Wu and Xiao Nan nodded one after another, the three of them came into the store, everyone saw that they were back, and complained about Xiao Wu Xiao Nan, Lao Bai told the lie just now, and it was over, everyone just praised Xiao Wu and Xiao Nan for their ability, and did not ask too much.
In the afternoon, everyone went back to the village, Lao Bai handed over the things to Mei Yuexue, and when he saw that there was no one around, he told Mei Yuexue what happened today.
Mei Yuexue heard those two lines of poetry, and stood up with her eyebrows raised.
Lao Bai said with a look of preparing to gossip: "The owner of the village, I have specially seen it for you, that person is dressed as a man, she is very beautiful, her skin is also white, and her figure is relatively tall among women, do you know her, the owner of the village?"
Mei Yuexue frowned and said, "Lao Bai, did you hit an evil today?" What are you talking about, what 'the willows by the river are green, and the wheat seedlings are green on the ridges'? Where did you hear that? Such a bad couplet seems to have been made by you, it can't be that you guys are working together to trick me into making fun of me! ”
Lao Bai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, absolutely not, I really met such a person, she really told me this."
"I don't know or don't know, you don't interact with strangers in the future, don't look at people's parents who are tall, white and beautiful, and get lost, the identity of our people is special, in case something makes people find out, you can't live this day?" Mei Yuexue couldn't help but say that she scolded Lao Bai with her head and face, and Lao Bai said: "Ah Yo village master, village owner, if you don't have it, there will be no more, how can I believe everything if I look at people as superficial as you said, let me tell you about the village master, I have done a very deep analysis in this, I don't think she is like a bad person." I think that although she detained our people, but released them afterwards, she could have let only one go back to pass the message, and the remaining two people were hostages, so that she was not afraid that you would not go. ”
"Look, you know how to do this, but she doesn't know, she's either a fool or a madman!"
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, and felt that what the owner of the village said seemed to have some truth, he thought about it, felt that it was wrong, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, the owner of the village, I don't think she is stupid to do this, she is sincere!" She's sincere, and maybe an admirer of yours. ”
Mei Yuexue threw her a roll of her eyes and said, "I know now, it's not her who is stupid, it's you!"
Lao Bai's face was flushed, and he wanted to say something to justify, Mei Yuexue patted his belly and said as if coaxing a child: "Oh, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm joking with you." You're really, even if that person isn't a bad person, but I don't know her, why should I meet her? Is it appropriate for me to meet her as a red plum hero or as Mei Yuexue? ”
Lao Bai thought about it, then looked at him and said, "Yes, she didn't say why she came to see you, I thought that poem had any other purpose." But she went to the fan shop to find you, so it must be for the fan. ”
Mei Yuexue said: "This woman just used that couplet to arouse your curiosity, and wanted to lure me out because she was beautiful, and did the following things, just to deliberately make me curious about her, those people I don't know, who knows what attention they played."
Lao Bai hurriedly said: "Oh, I didn't think it through."
Mei Yuexue said: "Okay, then this matter will end here, but well, you are getting smarter and smarter, although your analysis just now is not so thorough, but at least there is a basis, yes, yes, these books have not been read in vain." Lao Bai listened to his praise, and he also felt that he had made progress, and every student who was praised by the teacher was always a little happy in his heart, he touched his belly embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Is it?" Okay, the owner of the village, then I won't bother you, you can get busy, I'll go first. ”
In Lao Bai's opinion, this matter is over, but Mei Yuexue's heart, because of the arrival of this woman, suddenly jumped wildly.
It was already time for everyone to rest at night, Mei Yuexue had been waiting for another hour, expecting that everyone was asleep, so he quietly got up and went out with the boat, it was also lucky, he didn't bump into anyone, paddled lightly and went out by boat, and when he arrived at Eagle's Beak Peak, he performed light skills and ran all the way down the mountain.
Tonight the sky is not good, there is no moon in the sky, the clouds are dense, Mei Yuexue can hardly discern the direction, fortunately down the mountain is the village, a large area is a field, the road is sparse, but it is easy to identify, but the green poplar slope of Baijia Village is forty miles away from here, even if Mei Yuexue relies on light skills, the foot is fast, but the heart is extremely excited, it is difficult to be calm, anxious and dry, resulting in poor breath, forty miles all the way to run wildly.
The green poplar slopes are covered with tall aspen trees, and it is early autumn, and the leaves are very old, but they have not yet turned yellow, and they are blown by the wind. Folk rumors regard the poplar tree as a bad thing, the poplar leaves are like palms, and when the wind blows, it seems that there are countless people clapping their palms, and the folk call it "ghost clapping".
This poplar forest is small in size, but it is surrounded by wilderness and no people. Underground is the withered leaves and yellow grass that accumulate year after year, and the air is filled with the smell of damp earth, and there is a strange smell that seems to be salty but not salty, and it seems to be fishy but not fishy. As soon as the "ghost clapping" sounded, even martial arts masters with excellent ear power would be affected by it, and it was difficult to ensure safety, and the reason why Mei Yuexue was in a mess was also because of this.
She was a noble person, and she had grown up with him, and she chose such a remote place alone, taking such a big risk to meet him, he had to rush over as fast as possible to not let her down.
Mei Yuexue only hated herself for not being able to grow a pair of wings at the moment. So many things have happened over the years, she has been kept in the dark, he originally planned not to see her, but seeing that she had found a fan shop, if she refused to see her again and continued to pretend to be dead, it would inevitably break her heart. And he believed that she was no longer the wayward little lord of the year, she was white about the importance of this matter, and what should she do, so he came to see her.
The person who came was the Zhaohua County Lord mentioned above.
The county lord of Zhaohua is the daughter of the prince of Gu, who is not a member of the royal family, but because of his meritorious service in governing the country, the prince who was canonized was named the lord of the county.
Gu Wangye is now the only force that can balance Luan's uncle in the court, so the Luan family also regards Gu Wangye as a thorn in the flesh, but Gu Wangye is both talented and able to bend and stretch, the key is to always be loyal to the saint, because he knows that he can have today from a down-and-out scholar to today's appreciation, he can display his ambitions, he can be both tactful and firm, as an official, he often walks by the river, that is, he does not stick to his shoes, and he is at ease. Uncle Luan Guo can control the emperor, but there is no way to coerce and suppress him, he is smart and clever, the city is deep, he is a person, he can't say anything clearly, he can be called a generation of strange people, and the later text has his own story, let's not mention it here for the time being.
Zhaohua County Lord's mother died early, the emperor cherished, so he was taken into the palace when he was a child, taken care of by Queen Mei, and Mei Yuexue grew up as a childhood sweetheart, "Riverside Willow Green" is a topic when the two of them read together, the prince and the prince gave a question to the two who were learning to compose poetry, the Zhaohua county lord once pestered the prince to ask what is the wheat seedling, there is everything in the palace, why has not seen the wheat. Mei Yuexue took a lot of effort to explain to her that the wheat had been ground into flour, and the steamed buns we ate, a lot of pastries, pastries, and noodles were all made of flour made of wheat grinding, in order to make her look like white wheat, Taifu also specially ordered his subordinates to go to the village hundreds of miles away from the city, found a large handful of wheat seedlings, and bought a bag of wheat seeds from the farmers, Zhaohua finally saw the wheat, danced excitedly, and kept asking: How is it green, what are the thorns on it, why does it have thorny ......, Taifu looks at her cute, Then he carefully pulled her and Mei Yuexue to sit on the steps, and told the two children "The Story of Wheat Miao", like an old farmer in the field, Zhaohua heard this story and felt that it was very wonderful, and he was so happy that he clapped his hands, so for many years to come, there was a flower garden in Queen Mei's yard that did not plant any flowers, only wheat.
Year after year, although the flower garden is small, but it also carries a lot of joys and sorrows of the two people, wheat germination, growth, drought or flood, or insect or disease, all tightly hold their hearts, so although this couplet is not wonderful, but for the two of them is an extremely precious memory, so this couplet has become the best codeword.
Mei Yuexue also hadn't seen her old friend for a long time, she missed it very much, and she wanted to know the situation in the capital now, so she flew to see her.
The county lord of Zhaohua was worried, nervous and excited at the moment. Suddenly, she heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, her heart tightened, and she stared closely at the figure coming from afar, and her two hands tightly grasped the wind lamp in her hand.
The black shadow stood three feet away and stopped without saying a word, the surrounding area was pitch black, and the county lord of Zhaohua was a little scared, but when she saw the other party standing motionless, she only felt that a heart was about to pop out of her throat.
"Willow green by the river?" Zhaohua asked in a trembling voice.
"The fields are green and the wheat is green." Mei Yuexue also replied in a trembling voice.
Zhaohua immediately walked towards Mei Yuexue, shook the fire fold in his hand and lit the wind lantern, until he was very close, she saw the silhouette of the other party clearly, and she was sure that her prince brother was indeed not dead as she wished, he was still alive and well, and now it was in front of her eyes. She couldn't hold it anymore, she was frightened for him all these years, although she was willful, but she also knew that the affairs of the court did not allow her to be a county lord, so although she had a heart, she couldn't help anything, she could only watch them cry from afar, she finally couldn't help but burst out at this moment, and immediately threw herself into Mei Yuexue's arms and cried bitterly: "Brother Prince, do you know how worried I am about you over the years!"
