Chapter Fifty-Six: There Are Vines in the Wild
Tan Yin and Lu Qing had a conversation, their mother was still playing cards, seeing that it had just passed noon, thinking that they were about to move out of this place, and it was unlikely that they would go to Lanruo Temple again in the future, where they and Li Zheng met in Shangjing, and also witnessed the good times of the two, or go to worship again, and ask the Buddha to bless Li Zheng and himself all the best.
was about to move to a new courtyard in the west of the city, and Li Zheng also took a good look at the house next to the museum and bookstore in the northwest of the city, and the two of them became closer in the future.
Honeysuckle wants to accompany her own girl, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, Honeysuckle has been busy, Tan Yin asked her to take a good rest, Lanruo Temple is close, and she is familiar with her own road.
They all went home for the holidays, there were very few people on the road, but fortunately, they were all big roads, Tan Yin carried the basket and walked slowly towards the mountain.
Walking on the almost uninhabited mountain road, sometimes carrying small pebbles with his steps, watching it roll forward drippingly. The scent of grass and wild flowers greeted you, and the roadside was covered with lush weeds, wild thorns and small red fruits, which was really lovely. There are also many unknown wildflowers blooming to the fullest, red, yellow, white and pink, swaying in the wind, exuding fragrance.
Tan Yin took a deep breath, lifted her shirt, and continued to walk up the mountain.
When I arrived at Lanruo Temple, I saw that there was a horse tied to a tree at the door, even if I didn't know anything about horses, I could see that it was a rare BMW horse with shiny fur and vigorous posture, and I don't know who would come to Lanruo Temple at this time.
Entering the main hall, he knelt in front of the Buddha reverently, and asked the Buddha to bless his family, his grandfather's family and his aunt's family to be safe and healthy, and everything went well, to bless the marriage of several sisters, and to bless himself and Li Zhengneng to tie the knot and grow old.
The Buddha smiled and looked down on all beings, looking at the world, life is varied, infatuated men and women, laughing and scolding, going around and around for thousands of years, repeatedly.
……
In the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival, there is not a pilgrim in the temple, go out of the hall, the trees in the temple are verdant, the sun shines through the leaves and sprinkles the gold all over the ground, the flowers and plants are fragrant, the birds are chirping, and it is even more quiet and far-reaching.
Tan Yin saw that it was still early, and was about to walk around, so she walked towards the side courtyard. The mountain where Lanruo Temple is located is not high, the partial courtyard is built according to the steep wall, there is a platform of three zhang long and wide outside the courtyard, the edge of the platform is the steep wall, standing here can see the field under the mountain at a glance, it is the best place for the scenery of Lanruo Temple.
Out of the courtyard gate, to the platform open space, I saw a person sitting on the ground with his back to him, dressed in white, with a peak waist and ape back, and the fields and fields under the mountain in the distance, like a painting.
The man heard the voice behind him, turned around, and was very surprised to see that it was Tan Yin.
Tan Yin was even more surprised when she saw Yang Che, and after a slight pause, she stepped forward and sat down next to him. I don't know why he is dressed in white for the holiday today, he didn't like red clothes before! Still sitting on the ground, aren't you afraid of getting dirty!
When I got closer, I smelled a smell of alcohol, which was very strong, and it looked like I had drunk a lot of alcohol. Yang Che turned his head to look at her.
Tan Yin also looked at him, he seemed to be different from the past. The rumored Jin Ge Iron Horse defeated the general of Great Xia? He seemed to be too weak. Hand in hand with the East Palace, the freehand and graceful Meierlang? He seems to be a little too heroic. The marquis of Zhenbei, who has a perverse personality and quirky behavior? He seemed to be a little too normal again. The cordiality and even intimacy of the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple, Wu Shangzhai's uprightness and thoughtfulness, still seem to have taken off all his defenses at this moment, some confused, some painful, or even a little fragile.
Yang Che watched her sit down beside him, squinting at her, and after drinking, his starry eyes were even hazy, the corners of his eyes were red, and his face was full of peach blossoms. Ban Yan asked: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, it is the time of reunion, why don't you stay with your family, but run to this scattered and remote place." ”
Tan Yin replied: "We have already had lunch, and they are playing cards. We were about to move to the west of the city, and we were not likely to come here in the future, so we just happened to have nothing to do, so we came alone. ”
Yang Che stared at her for a long time, Tan Yin was wearing bean-green clothes today, thinking that the mountain road was in a hurry, her hair was a little messy, her cheeks were crimson, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, which were fragrant.
Tan Yin was a little embarrassed by his staring, brushed the hair on her right sideburns with her hand, licked her lips, and coughed lightly.
Yang Che seemed to come back to his senses, narrowed his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Oh, if you want to move to the west of the city, you are still a big family." ”
Tan Yin didn't know how to answer this, and asked, "Why are you here today?" ”
There seemed to be a trace of pain flashing, and Yang Che replied: "Yes! Why am I here today? As long as I'm in Shangjing, I'll be here at this time of year. ”
Tan Yin thought of his life experience, today is the day of family reunion, his parents died early, alone, the Dragon Boat Festival is a happy reunion day for others, even though there are many friends, but it may be even more lonely for him! It's just why he is in Lanruo Temple at this time of year.
Yang Che seemed to understand the question in her heart, and said: "Today is my mother's death day, and the place where this Lanruo Temple is located used to be the family temple of my grandfather's family. ”
Tan Yin hurriedly apologized when she heard this, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your mother's death day, I wouldn't have bothered if I had known." ”
"It's okay, I'm alone every year, and it's good to have you talking to me."
Tan Yin calmed down and said with a sigh of relief: "Say it!" I listened attentively, my mouth was tight, and I never messed around. ”
Yang Che looked at her like a deer, and as soon as her anxious heart settled down, she couldn't hide her lively and beating nature.
"My mother was originally a young lady from an official family, and my father was engaged since childhood, and later my grandfather was involved in the court party dispute, and was imprisoned, and my mother was in the Qinglou, and my father later ransomed her, took her as a concubine, and gave birth to me, and everyone knows what happened later."
No wonder he was dressed in white today, Tan Yin didn't have much expression when he watched him slowly tell his life experience. He has been through the choppy seas, and he doesn't know how much bitterness and pain he has experienced to cultivate so smoothly now.
"You have also lived up to her expectations, and now you are the great hero of Jokhang."
Yang Che laughed at himself: "Big hero? Everyone in the world knows that I lost my father when I was seven years old and my mother when I was fifteen. My mother was born in a green building, I was a concubine and gave birth to a child, I was born lowly, and I was expelled from the house because I was not allowed to be my mother. ”
Tan Yin disagreed: "You are both civil and military, you have studied under the great Confucian Fangcheng, you can be regarded as a rich school, you don't need me to memorize the famous chapters of Mengfuzi." Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. Baili Xi is a slave that can be bought with five sheepskins, aren't you even as good as a slave! ”
The corners of Yang Che's mouth twitched slightly, "How dare I compare with those ancient saints and sages." ”
"My father said that you are young, you defeated Great Xia, a bloody shame for seventy years, you keep me safe in the northwest of Dazhao, so that thousands of Dazhao people can live in peace, and the future of emulating the ancient sages is unknown!"
Yang Che looked at her eagerness to comfort herself, her heart warmed, and she looked at her and said slowly: "I will remember what you said today." ”
Seeing that he looked depressed and seemed to be thinking, he should still be missing his deceased mother.
"Don't be sad, your mother is going to be unhappy. She must be very happy to see you in the Spirit of Heaven to see you have such an achievement, and you see that she has been posthumously named the Second Rank Lady of Destiny. ”
"What's the point of those are just glory after death."
"It doesn't make sense, as long as you give it to her, she will like everything."
"I gave it to her! I didn't give him anything, just a drag from her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have fallen into the dust again, and then she was forced to die. Yang Che smiled.
"How could you think that! You're so young, what does it have to do with you. It's your mother who is unkind, it's the king of Xiangyang who oppresses the people, and you are also an innocent victim, you lost your father at the age of seven and are still living on the streets, and you lost your mother at the age of fifteen and became a lonely person, how did this become your fault! ”
Yang Che looked at her in a daze.
"If you are a woman, you are weak, and if you are a mother, you are strong, and mothers in the world are willing to do anything for their children. You see, my mother is working all over for me, saying everything to make my life better. I also read in the book that there are people who hunt deer herds, and there are doe who would rather be shot themselves than cover the fawn's escape, even animals, let alone humans, the spirit of all things! ”
Yang Che turned his head and looked at the mountain silently, silent for a long time, and Tan Yin also sat on the side without speaking.
For a long time, Yang Che didn't look back, and said quietly: "You said that my mother wants to see me in the spirit of heaven, and she will be really happy." ”
"Naturally, I hope you can be happy and healthy."
"Is that enough?" Yang Che hesitated.
Tan Yin smiled: "That's naturally not enough, if you can marry a wife and have children, someone loves you, you love her, you have a big family, you can spend every festival together, instead of being alone here every year to worship and hang her, she will be really happy." ”
"Marry a wife and have children? Do I want my father and mother to be a wife and a child? Yang Che said lightly.
"Zi Bu is strange and confused, how can you still take the gossip of these ignorant and stupid people seriously! You were young when your mother had an accident, but now that you are older, you are the god of war, and you can protect all the people in the northwest of Jokhang, can't you still protect your wife and children? ”
Hearing this, Yang Che turned his head to look at her, praying for others' affirmation like a child, "What you said is true?" ”
Tan Yin felt sour, nodded violently, and said: "Of course it's true, I heard my eldest cousin say that many people in the northwest put your idol at home and used it for the town, but said that you were too beautiful and not murderous enough, and added a beard and stomach to you." ”
Tan Yin's eyes were staring at his chin and belly, thinking about what Yang Che looked like when he had gained a circle of beard. Yang Che couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that he was given a beard and belly.
"You smiled." Tan Yin pointed at Yang Che and laughed.
After a while, Yang Che restrained his smile and sighed: "I'm afraid that good people don't want to marry their daughter to me!" ”
"You have a great reputation, talent and appearance, if you want to marry a wife, it is not enough to row up in the capital from the Vermilion Bird Gate to the Xuanwu Gate and go around two circles." Tan Yin drew a large circle with her hand and replied confidently, feeling that the ten matchmakers together did not have the confidence she had at the moment.
Yang Che looked at her like this, shook his head with a chuckle, and asked, "That Zifei is famous, talented and beautiful, why is the Gao family unwilling." ”
"How can it be the same, they treacherously quit the marriage in the front, and they have a great relationship with Yunxian and the concubine in the back, other families can stand it, but the Gao family can't stand it. You haven't divorced from the marriage, but there are a few ......" Tan Yin was stuck as she spoke, not to mention a few leaders......
Yang Che looked solemn and looked at her without speaking.
Tan Yin was very embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "Actually...... In fact, this is also very common, and most people don't care. ”
"But a good family like the Gao family is not very willing." Yang Che said clearly.
"The Gao family is just an ordinary small businessman, how can it be compared with the Shangjing prince and the general Xiang family!" Tan Yin replied slowly.
came to Shangjing, because of Yanya and Du Yan, the eldest cousin once analyzed the situation in Beijing with her. Yang Che is the secretary of state, even though there are many anecdotes about Yan Wen, it is just to add a bit of romance to the streets and alleys of Shangjing, he is now prominent, except for those really arrogant and self-conscious scholarly families, the general duke's official family has long been flocking to him.
Oh, yes! I'm also a princely general, a good girl from a small family, but I can't even think of myself!
Yang Che no longer embarrassed her, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's look at fate!" ”
