Main Chapter 62: Hope for the snow and the gods, and stop at the people

The old man who told the story had already said the ** place, his expression became more and more nervous, and his tone was even more high!

"The handsome boy surnamed Shunyi, holding a fan, standing tall, the long one is also standing out from the crowd, extremely outstanding, I saw him step lightly on the stage, do not make a trace of stop, carry a wolf, like flowing water. After only a few breaths, he stopped writing and stepped down, not knowing where he went. The maid took the collected poems to the attic for Baihuaniang to see, who knew that Baihuaniang fell in love with the poems of this Shunyi son at a glance! ”

The storyteller stopped, took a sip of tea, and breathed a sigh of relief, and the person below hurriedly asked

"Dare to ask sir, what kind of poem is it? Say it and let's hear it too! ”

The old man who was telling the story on the stage picked up a simple folding fan on the table, swayed it, and shook it gently

The title of the poem is "Looking forward to the return of the snow", the twilight snow Feifei smoke willow lane, bending the waist and praying for the small temple, the green daisy does not show the green silk length, the song is melodious, the eyes fall into the clear water and the god is injured, the dog barks late at night, the Yaotai jade phoenix is the king, the strings just stop the edge of the sword, raise the head three feet to hide the law, and wave the sleeves arrogantly. Tut! Good poem, it's no wonder that Baihua Niang is happy, this work of Cheng Gongzi is indeed a stroke of genius. What's even more amazing is that there is fun in this poem! ”

"Dare to ask Mr. what's so interesting??"

"This poem is wonderful, the content is even better, it is said that Baihua Niang came to Shangyue originally meant to find relatives, to find his fiancé, many years ago, the moon, heavy snowfall, and Baihua Niang has a matchmaker to go out to Shangyue to do business, just a few years, Baihua Niang went to the temple every day to pray for blessings, sat in front of the window at night and looked at it, just looking forward to the snow god, return to the people to stop, waited for many years, the marriageable age has passed, then hiking thousands of rivers and mountains, personally came to Shangyue, this detached courage is really impressive. This Cheng Gongzi poems summarize the life experience of Baihua Niang, and later admired her extraordinary bearing and courage, such as the edge of the hidden sword, comparable to the king of words, the king of people! What's even more strange is that there is an appointment in this poem, this Cheng Shunyi actually made an appointment with Baihua Niang and the Fazang Temple in the north of the city! ”

When the audience heard this, they became more and more curious

"Then the flower girl can go?"

Naturally, she went, Baihua Niang's heart shook, and then she told the servants around her that she would give a new peony named Panxue Guiren! Then he went out in a panic with his skirt. ”

Lan Zeyun sat on the second floor and took a sip of tea

"She should have mistaken that man for her fiancé who hadn't seen her in years."

Du Luo was silent, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the sound continued to sound downstairs

Baihuaniang went all the way to the north, and arrived at the Fazang Temple, only to see Cheng Shunyi standing in front of the Fazang Temple, waving his fan lightly, and smiling at the visitors. Baihua Niang thought that the person who asked her was a fiancé who had not met for many years, but when she saw Cheng Shunyi, although she was shocked by his appearance, she was still disappointed! Cheng Shunyi naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and chatted with Baihua Niang for half a night, but it was also regarded as entering the heart of Baihua Niang, so later, Cheng Shunyi lived in the upper and lower for a long time, and the two often talked and laughed under the willows in front of the flowers, and after a long time, they secretly fell in love, and secretly worshiped heaven and earth and got married! Neither parent knew about it. ”

When the old storyteller said this, his expression was gloomy, and suddenly he slapped the slab, and everyone's hearts trembled, and he knew that there was a turning point!

"It's a pity, after all, it was wishful thinking on the part of the two of them, and they paid for life by mistake! It turns out that this Cheng Shunyi is not a rich son, but a serious prince of the ethereal country, and he has already married a concubine! At that time, the lord of the Ethereal Country was dying, ethereal

The country was in turmoil, the people were panicked, the crown princess traveled lightly and simply, and came to Shangyue alone, looking for the prince Cheng Shunyi, who was drinking and having fun here. The three of them confronted each other, one was the original wife, and with the petition of all the people of the ethereal country, he came to ask the prince to return to China to uphold justice! One side is a confidante who has just formed a knot in Shangyue, which is more important, and there is no need to measure! Baihua Niang was very sad, crying every night, washing her face with tears, and she was also closed to Cheng Shunyi! ”

"However, the princess of the Ethereal Kingdom is a rare and profound understanding of righteousness! Although it is his husband who loves and loves others, he raises his eyebrows. But for the sake of thousands of people in the Ethereal Country, he was willing to let Cheng Shunyi go back with Baihuaniang, and he retired from the crown princess, which is really a rare righteous person in the world! ”

When the audience heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and some of them asked aloud

"How does Cheng Shunyi choose?"

"Cheng Shunyi... The lord of a country, ten thousand people petitioned, how could he refuse, naturally he immediately found the servant next to Baihua Niang and said Xiyan's thoughts, but... Baihua Niang didn't want to live or die, so she sent Cheng Shunyi a pot of snow to return to people, and then left Shangyue, missing her whereabouts. Cheng Shunyi naturally understood the meaning of Baihua Niang, grieved in his heart, and returned to the ethereal country with the pot of Panxue with Xiyan, the whole country is stable, and the world is happy! ”

A year later, Baihua Niang returned to Shangyue, but not alone, followed her to find her fiancé for many years, the two are naturally happy in the eyes of outsiders, Baihua Niang took the people of Shangyue, and passed on the craft of planting flowers, over time, Shangyue Baihua Festival has become a unique spectacle in the world, but it is thought-provoking that Baihua Niang planted so many flowers, but rarely planted the snow to return to people. Later, Baihuaniang died of depression and wrote a poem before she died. ”

Everyone asked, "Which one?" ”

"It's the song "Looking for the Snow to Return to People" that was Cheng Shunyi's title back then! After the death of Baihua Niang, the craft of planting peonies gradually disappeared, especially the famous city-country Pan Xue Guiren, which is rarely seen, and now... I haven't seen it in years! ”

At the end of a story, there was a loud bang over the slabs, the table was removed from the stage, and the storyteller hummed a tune and went off the stage. Only everyone is still immersed in the story, and the aftertaste is endless.

Lan Zeyun pursed his lips and said with some pity

"It's a pity, the peerless beauty who is famous in the city will die of depression..."

Du Luo glanced up at Lan Zeyun and chuckled

"How do you know she's depressed?"

"Didn't the storyteller say that Baihua Niang also inscribed the poem written by Cheng Shunyi many years ago before she died? If it weren't for the death and resurrection of love, why bother remembering it for so long, thinking about this love and not being able to suppress it in your heart for many years, and finally couldn't support it, your body collapsed, and your heart collapsed. ”

Du Luo took a sip of tea and said: "Otherwise, although she is indeed burdened and worried, but she is a free and easy person, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to wait to meet Cheng Shunyi. ”

Lan Zeyun was suspicious: "What does Mr. mean... What's still strange about this? ”

Du Luo gently put the celadon tea cup on the table

"That year, the snow fell heavily in Shangyue City, and it fell for more than half a month, and since returning to Shangyue, life is very regular, going to the flower room to plant flowers during the day, going to the teahouse to listen to music in the afternoon, and accompanying the husband to write in the study at night. Only when she returned home late one night, her husband asked, and the snow was only heavy on the road from the twilight snow, and it was delayed. In fact

That afternoon, she met someone in the teahouse. ”

"Who?"

"Cheng Shunyi, after the ethereal country was stabilized, he has always been concerned about leaving the twilight snow, so he braved the heavy snow to come to Shangyue Country under the pretext of a foreign visit. I just thought it was a bit of luck, but I didn't expect to really meet the person I wanted to see. The two sat across from each other, talking calmly for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye to Twilight. ”

"What do you mean, sir... Is Baihua Niang's death directly related to Cheng Shunyi? ”

"It's not stupid, the world only says that the queen of the ethereal country understands the righteousness and is willing to sacrifice herself for the country, but this woman is not as upright as she seems. At that time, the ethereal country was in turmoil, and the prince did not revitalize the dynasty, but the six princes did win the hearts of the people, and the people surrounded the six princes on the throne, and the Xiyan people refused, which made the foundation of the ethereal country turbulent, but on the fifth day, the six princes Cheng Shunde suddenly died on the street, and his state was very frightening. Later, Xiyan went straight to Shangyue and invited Cheng Shunyi back. ”

Lan Zeyun suddenly realized

"What do you mean, sir... Is this Shunde's death done by Xi Yan? ”

Du Luo nodded lightly, agreeing with Lan Zeyun's statement

"Maybe, this matter is just speculation, and there is no empirical evidence so far, and besides, she was willing to give up her position that day, I am afraid that she also found out that Twilight Xue is strong by nature, and she definitely does not want to do so. This is willing to gamble, now, his husband is thousands of miles away, and he is looking for his old lover, how can she bear it, when Duxue died, the person who heard the corpse said that it was very scary, and his limbs were twisted, which was exactly the same as Cheng Shunde's death. ”

When Lan Zeyun heard this, he fell into deep thought, and only then continued after half a salary

"This Baihua Niang is indeed strong by nature, comfortable and comfortable, and the courage measurement is very comparable, only one point is stubborn, when I was able to make a promise to my fiancé, I waited for many years, and missed the age of marriage in vain, it can be seen that I am single-minded, I can't bear a little stain, although Cheng Shunyi is the love of her life, but she deceived her first, and she shouldered the great responsibility of governing the country, with her temperament naturally unwilling, and then Baihua Niang is married, must be loyal to her husband, presumably that day Cheng Shunyi came to her, Baihua Niang didn't have any other ideas, but Xiyan was not at ease, afraid that her position as queen would not be guaranteed, so she ...... But this woman has such a strategy, how can she be willing to live in the harem forever and be a mother who manages the affairs of the harem all day long! ”

"Hehe, Lan Zeyun, Lan Zeyun, in addition to being clumsy, you girl has a different perspective on things! That's right, this woman is naturally unwilling, so in just five years, Cheng Shunyi suffered from heart disease, and died within a month, because there were no heirs around, Xiyan had a very high reputation, and Xiyan and his party fanned the flames, so the people petitioned and established Xiyan as the new lord of the country. ”

Lan Zeyun was secretly speechless, quite amazed, you must know that women as kings have always been one out of ten thousand, extremely rare and rare, and couldn't help but say yes

"This kind of rhetoric is really admirable."

It is undeniable, continued

"What she admires is not only these means, since the new female monarch of the ethereal country, the national system has been reorganized, business travel has increased, and the country has become stronger and stronger.

Lan Zeyun agreed, this is indeed the case, although Cheng Shunyi is a prince, his mind, personality, and all aspects are not suitable for being a monarch, but this Xiyan is a little born with the feeling of being a dragon and a phoenix among people.
