Chapter 120: Old Traces (Part II)
Pei Ji said simply: "Don't be too high-minded. I think you know what happens to you. β
"Even if it's Cui Liang, he has never been high. Unfortunately, I can't, and I can't. β
Pei Xu just wants to be a smooth peace officer, and he doesn't want to participate in those open and secret battles, let alone be manipulated by others. It's a pity that the fact is that he was tricked, and he almost hurt people. He sighed sadly: "Minglu, where is Minglu?" β
"I don't know, maybe it's the way to live in peace."
The world is thin, but it is difficult to taste the weakness of human feelings. The road may be difficult, but it is not without a way out.
After Pei Ji sighed, he said: "You came to ask me again, but I don't know if I can answer this time." β
He has always believed that he is the most well-informed one in Chang'an. But when it comes to tricky things, it's not something that gossip can fully understand.
"Then tell me quickly, I'm still in a hurry."
Although Pei Xu didn't help Yang Su, he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the gutter.
Pei Ji pondered: "Well, according to the current situation, it seems to be nothing."
On the third day of the first month of March in the first year of Taiqian, the spring is bright and bright, and the flowers are blooming, but the women in Yiyuan are wearing plain clothes on this day. No one in the garden has set foot in spring, and the beautiful spring scenery has been hidden by the paleness.
On that day, Pei Xu, who had been away from Yiyuan for many years, stepped into the place of his nostalgia again.
After a long absence, it will be a long time. He was a young man and was favored by the Duke of Jin to live in Yiyuan. Repair bamboo sandalwood, flower shadow incense path. A place that haunts people's dreams.
It was in the garden that he met Akira Wan. I've seen it a few times before, but it's always a glimpse from afar. Seeing a small figure, it was fleeting. Previously, she could only glance twice when she saw Han Gong hugging her, but she only let her mother-in-law hug her for half a moment. At that time, Han Xuan was dying of old age, and he couldn't hold it after holding it for a while. I can only lament that he is old and frail.
is not only old and frail, in fact, what he wants to tell more is his fate.
He didn't lose his glory until he died, but unfortunately he was still a bitter man in the end.
Revisiting the old place, but it is to mourn.
Resounding in the Gardenββ
The mourning of the multitude, and the weeping of themselves.
The day of the owner's death is the time when the garden changes hands.
Pei Xu recalled this period of time, life is full of countless coincidences and inevitability.
The west chamber was below her, and he had just stepped through a door. But I saw that the door of the house where she lived was closed, and the window was not opened in the summer. He reacted just in time, and it turned out that the fragrance he smelled just now was the smell of herbs in the courtyard. He couldn't say what they were called or what they were for.
At this moment, the name of the meeting was not right, and he guessed that she must have said a few words coldly.
"When it is too late, this Lord will go to serve others."
Wan Zhao tossed and turned at night, and he didn't fall asleep no matter how he lay down.
Today she actually bumped into Pei Xu, the wall-grass that fell with the wind. She remembered that he was the one who introduced her to Zhao Rui at that time, and it could be said that he was the culprit of her misfortune in her life. They should be able to see each other again tomorrow, they had met once at the banquet set by the old lady before, and the self-righteous Pei Xu revealed to the prince.
"Girl, drink some soothing tea." Liudan laughed.
She took a sip, "Alas, I've been very stuffy this night, and I've been lying down for almost half an hour, and I don't mean to sleep." β
"You're worried about meeting the Pei Sheren today." Liudan teased.
"Okay, you're a Dan girl, it's really bad." Wan Zhao blushed.
Liu Dan sat down, "I understand half of the girl's thoughts, although the palace compound is good, it is not as good as being an ordinary woman." β
Yun Zhao said angrily: "Count your love to talk a lot." β
She didn't want others to get involved in this matter, and no matter what the reason, she wouldn't let others interfere.
Liu Dan smiled and said, "Then girl, go to sleep." β
It rained at night, and she listened to the sound of the rain until dawn.
I rinsed my mouth in the morning, combed my makeup, and went to see the old lady and uncle. Liu Dan wanted her to eat before she went, but Yun Zhao had no appetite and didn't eat a bite, so she went to the old lady.
When he entered, he asked the old lady to say goodbye, and as soon as the grandfather and grandson said a few words, Pei Xu came to ask to see him.
"Junior Pei Xu, meet Mrs. Yue Guotai."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
The old lady smiled: "This is my little granddaughter. β
How dare you say such a thing in front of an old lady.
"Ling Zun is in good health?"
"My father has just recovered from his illness, and he has been seen by a doctor, and his health has improved a lot."
"That's good, say hello to him for me." The old lady laughed.
Wan Zhao looked at it, his throat became more and more painful, and he couldn't help coughing. The lungs were very uncomfortable, and I coughed a few times, but it didn't stop. I guess I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't cover the quilt properly, but I caught a cold.
Changed his mind and had an idea, pretending to be sick and crooked. "Help the girl to her room." The old lady was anxious and asked Linlang to bring Wan Zhao in.
"Then you should ask the doctor, discuss the condition with the doctor earlier, and the girl will recover as soon as possible." Pei Xu said with a smile.
"This girl is weird, I used to see a doctor and take medicine, but then I felt that it was not good, so I simply didn't want to treat it. When I'm older, I love to make my temperament, and I don't get any unpleasant medicine. No matter how much you persuade, you don't even look at it. The old lady sighed.
Pei Xu felt funny, but he didn't expect this girl to have a little temper, "You have to take the medicine no matter how bitter it is, if you don't take the medicine, it must be slow." It's time to find someone to persuade her. β
The old lady smiled: "Yes, but this girl, Su Ri doesn't like a large group of people around her." She was dismissed from her former handmaidens. β
But the love of beauty is also the love of ordinary people. is really reluctant in his heart, and he will definitely be nostalgic for a while, and he can't cut off his nature.
I thought of talking about beauty with my drinking friends. The world only talks about the character and appearance of beauties. But I don't want to be well-behaved, and women with good looks can be found everywhere, and truly perfect, pure and flawless beauties may only exist in imagination or in the words of the ancients.
Beauty is hard to find, how can you meet a real beauty just by being graceful on the surface and elegant in conversation?
Looking for beauty must meet in person, it is better to meet than to be famous, whether it is true or false has to be judged. Pei Xu was miserable by this at that time, and later stabbed Lou Zi because of this.
His amorous can write a love history.
Pei Xu loves to talk about beautiful women, and he never hides his love for beauty. It's not uncommon to talk too much about this.
Seeing Miss Feng today made him even more happy.
For example, he said: A woman is raised in a deep boudoir, and her virtue and skills are all based on the one-sided words of her parents and matchmakers, if she is well versed in music and art but is not known to the world, the matchmaker will say a few nice words of praise to others, is it not to bury her talent.
But some women have lived in poverty all their lives, and even if their fate is tragic, they still stay with others all their lives. Although she is an ordinary woman, she has the lofty ambition of a cold man.
The more he thought about it, the more interested he became, and there was nothing so complicated and changeable in the world.
He once bluntly said: "There is a kind of beauty, good poetry, good piano playing, good female popularity, good appearance, everyone is beautiful, so that men fall in love at first sight." But who knew that after marriage, he did nothing and devoted his whole heart to the matter of husband and children, and he had a dull life. Busy and busy, where can you see a good marriage? β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed. After all, it was too early to think of such a situation after an encounter.
But when I saw it today, I changed my mind, if I really want someone who doesn't understand the world and doesn't understand the reason of the couple's good words, where will the harmony come from.
The living utensils have always been decorated with auspicious birds and finches such as pedicle flowers, mandarin ducks and parrots, all advocating deep affection, reunion and beauty between husband and wife. But if he fell in love with a woman who had nothing to do with him, he was happy with each other, just waiting for the night to be dark, and he fell in love for a while, and finally made a big mistake.
He walked back and forth in his yard a few times, not that he was confused.
It wasn't love at first sight, but it was attentive.
If the relationship between the two is to last for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be possible without a rule. Neither can the man behave indiscriminately, nor can he blindly let the man take care of himself and snub the lady.
Pei Xu should slap himself, his frivolous behavior can be too much.
Later, he inexplicably fantasized:
If you want to love, you must have a heart-to-heart relationship. And when it comes to heart-to-heart, there are thousands of words to talk about. The two are good, first have the true love, and the innocent love can always maintain the spring; Moreover, it is necessary to be justified, and do not steal incense and steal jade, red apricots out of the wall, bead tires and other unrighteous acts. The relationship between the sexes must be through marriage, and the relationship between the two sexes is suitable for the room and the family.
This day is particularly dark, this year is very strange, it has not yet reached the Qingming season, even the rain is dripping.
Although Pei Xu's thoughts were disorganized, he really wanted to do so. But these can't be confided in anyone, the beauties around you are like flowers, so you still say to others that beauties are rare, for fear of being laughed at by the world.
Although his behavior was sometimes inappropriate, he never let these be known, for fear of falling into a lascivious and indiscreet notoriety.
After all, he is a rotten insider.
"I guess what is the use of these? I met quietly. β
Although he kept muttering about his messy thoughts, his heart was like a mirror.
suddenly remembered the embarrassment of being rejected for his courtship that day.
"The girl is well. I asked the girl Xinsheng early, and when I saw it today, the girl was really beautiful and wise. β
He saluted. The makeup is decent, the demeanor is decent, but there is no expression on the face. Pei Xu returned the salute generously, but his eyes were snickering. She secretly hated him, Pei Xu
Pei Xu sneered: "What's so difficult about this, as long as the fragrance is good, I'll try it." β
He omitted all the details, and only mentioned the main ones.
He walked around first, dividing the inferior into a bunch, "these"
Later, a group of people were picked, "This is medium, and all of them use the ancient legal system, which can be said to have their strengths and weaknesses." The aroma is either tangy or light, although it smells good, but it is always a little less elegant. Moreover, if it is burned in the incense burner, the smoke will be thick and choking, and it will not be ranked as high-class. β
"Oh, there is no reason in the world for you to eat and live here for nothing, if you are not good, I will peel you a layer of skin. Take a few things from your Pei family, and you can have dozens of banquets. Zhao Jiangxue laughed.
"Bah, if you want gold or silver, just ask. I don't owe you much, and I don't owe you much. β
Without waiting for him to continue scolding, Zhao Jiangxue asked people to put on five incense burners. Exactly the same gilded Boshan furnace, after burning incense, it is like being in a fairyland.
"You are all good at ancient methods here, whether it is strong or light, there must be an advantage or disadvantage." He tried a fragrance called "Lixue", "The name is new and elegant, and the inside is fragrant and rich." The pear blossom is light, and this fragrance is not lined up. β
"'Turnip' and 'Yuelin' are both rich spices, although they are precious, what is missing. I was impressed by the ingenuity of the makers. β
He was also tired, so he stretched his waist and continued: "'Red Plum', burning it is like being in the snow season,
The fragrance is cold, extremely elegant, and it is the light of the gentleman. β
"The last 'Canaan' is unique, the best of the best. And it is elegant and quiet, and it is extraordinary, and it cannot be ranked with the rest. I think it should be ranked first. β
"You know the goods, but you haven't tasted this fundamental thing yet."
"I haven't finished talking yet, you're trying to dig out the bottom of my heart." Canaan's raw material is the Qi Nan incense specially given by the sage to Princess Shangzhen, and Princess Shangzhen happens to have a master of incense making by her side, and this master is Tan Ruoyun, who has been a friend of me the day before yesterday. Zhao Jiangxue, what are your intentions? β
"Brute with no conscience, it was Miss Tan who invited you here." Zhao Jiangxue looked like she was looking at a joke.
There was a faint figure on the screen, and Pei Xu suddenly understood something.
"You, you should think about how to meet her."
I have admired it in my heart for a long time, and I can't help but be restless, and those who love it will be treated with all my heart. He strode in, the incense pouring into his face. I knew that the person inside was her.
This time, of course, we can't learn to be rude and force to seek pleasure like last time, and we can't stupidly say that an encounter is a shallow child who is the creation of this life or something. Prepare a compromise method in my heart, hoping to win the hearts of beauties once and for all, and form a good relationship.
At this point, his heart was half cold, no matter how good the materials, no matter how delicate and delicate the production, it was not as novel and lovely as the natural fragrance. Even if he never gave up, he entrusted Jinshu with poems and gifts every day, all of which were wishful thinking and spontaneous actions. Although there have been romantic affairs, they are all ambiguous past events that come out of the moment. But since he came, he couldn't go back the same way and wait for Zhao Jiangxue to see the joke.
Having said that, in comparison, of course, he can't be compared with that nobleman, but he already has a dew relationship, even if he is not honored, he also has a love. It's good, tricking him into coming here is nothing more than parting ways and never mentioning this again.
No one directed them behind their backs to force them to break off, and he would not believe it until he died.
"Even if everyone says I'm abusive, I'm going to walk in." That's what he thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he touched a gray nose.
In the dark room, Tan Nu's face was solemn and even darker. The words were unusually tough, and even disregarded etiquette, "I know what you are talking about today, try your incense, and you should understand that you are still a frivolous man." There used to be an excuse for being young, but now it's all older, and I hope you cherish your reputation. β
Pei Xu suddenly understood everything, but he still pestered unrelentingly: "I only ask you to answer, if you don't want to, I will die of this heart, and from now on, everyone will have their own way, so it is better to have less right and wrong." β
She was extremely serious, "There is no undesirable thing, nonsense thing, how can there be a result." She also understands that he is angry at all kinds of rejections in the past.
Pei Xu was angry and annoyed, and he had no time to be sad. There was a lot of cold sweat on my back. How could he not know what Tan Nu was thinking, obviously wanting to get away from him to find that one. Don't ask, someone has passed the wind to him.
When I came out of the court, I almost burst into tears, and it was the first time in my life that I was so disgusted. Helpless, and full of resentment, hating her for being so affectionate.
"I was so young at that time, I didn't care about my face. Blindly hard to go up and court. β
Pei Xu laughed at himself, now he can't let himself be so self-indulgent.
