Chapter Seventy-Two: Revisiting the Old Place
It is said that the two of them went to Xiangguo Temple first, and the temple is the time when the surname is traded, and the big three doors are full of birds, cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts, everything.
The third door is all used for everything, and the courtyard is set up with a colorful curtain to shop, selling Puhe, mats, screens, washing, saddle bridles, bows and swords, time fruits, preserved wax and the like.
Close to the Buddha hall, Mengjia Daoguan Wang Daoren honey fried, Zhao Wenxiu pen and Pan Gumo, occupy the eaves corridor on both sides. All of them are temple masters and aunts who sell embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, pearls and emerald heads, colored pins, gold pattern hats, special bun crowns, silk threads and the like.
In front of the holy gate behind the Buddha hall, there are books, good plays, pictures, and the soil and incense of the dismissed officials of all roads.
Yizhi and Yuan Hao walked all the way, looked all the way, and suddenly saw a pair of earrings, which were very similar to her mother's relics that Wen Wan had depicted, and was later taken away by Xiao Yao's to escape. Girl, look at something else. The small ones are still good. ”
The boss listed all the treasures at the bottom of the box on the case, put them on the table, and introduced them one after another. Yuan Hao listened energetically, and when he saw that Yizhi didn't listen to it anymore, he asked, "Do you like this pair of earrings so much?" ”
Remembering the way: "This is a relic of Xiuying's sister-in-law's mother, and I don't know when the official will come, and whether he can give it to me." ”
The boss was hesitating, and he suddenly saw it and said busily: "The official is here." As he spoke, he raised his hand and looked in the direction, but saw Zhang Yuan coming.
On the 23rd day of Cui Fujun's birthday on June 6, the Imperial Court presented the Houyuan and the Calligraphy Bureau to hold the ball fights, slingshots, Ge shots, saddle bridles, titles, and fan cages, and made music to Cui Fujun Temple.
The children held the balls, slingshots, and cages, and with the guard of honor trotting, they chased and frolicked, only caring about the rear, forgetting the front, and unconsciously a fierce man crashed into Yuan Hao's arms, and the child touched the hard muscles and the evil face that was not angry and arrogant, and timidly lost his mind.
Yizhi exchanged the cage in his hand for his deflated cage, and said with a smile: "Don't run around on the street anymore, this is bumping into people, if you hit an ox cart, how can the carriage be good." ”
Seeing her kindness, the child nodded emphatically, and a group of dolls giggled and slipped into the alley.
Even the Cuifu Jun Temple, the two columns of the wide Daoqu are placed with the Taiguan Bureau for food, boils, broth, candied fruit, preserved fruits, and water drinks. A music shed was set up on the terrace in front of the hall, and the teaching workshop was straightforward and musical, and they also lived and danced with each other. There are two wings in the hall overnight, a total of 24 lamps, corresponding to the 24 solar terms.
Yizhi only felt swallowed up by the noisy and prosperous sea of sound, and she said to Zhang Yuan: "She decided to let it go." ”
Zhang Yuan said to Yizhi: "I know. ”
Yizhi looked at Zhang Yuan unconsciously, and asked, "Then ...... you" stopped talking.
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "You can always put it down...... Someday after that. He whispered, "Maybe it's fate." ”
Yizhi's ears were full of gongs and drums and laughter, but she could clearly hear that there was no fate, she looked at Zhang Yuan, felt his sorrow, and thought of Wen Yanbo, is he good in Beizhou, is he injured?
Yizhi saw Miao'er in the crowd, Miao'er pulled his mother's skirt, pointed to this side, and wanted to run towards her, he was forcibly restrained by his mother, and listened to her say a few words in her ear, unwillingly, twisted his body into a twist.
Lu Yiran showed a decent smile towards Yizhi from afar, and Yizhi smiled back.
Mrs. Wen came out of the hall with the hand of a woman in a gorgeous costume, and the two were talking and laughing. Miao'er ran towards her, and pointed at Yizhi to speak, Mrs. Wen raised her eyes to look at Yizhi, and smiled, and smiled at her again, Yizhi smiled back, and slightly obeyed.
The one called fate must be extremely boring, so every day he takes pleasure in playing with the mortals in the red dust...... What is meant by fate, this is called fate.
Yuan Hao walked over, and he said to Yizhi: "Go back." ”
Yizhi smiled: "It's not dark yet, it can be more lively later." She saw that Yuan Hao's eyes were full of concern, and said, "I still have to stay here for two and a half years, have I been hiding for two and a half years?" ”
Yuan Hao frowned and said, "Am I wrong, I shouldn't have let you stay here alone." ”
Yizhi smiled: "I'm not alone. She paused, then said, "You're doing the right thing." I'm going to use this time to say goodbye to my past, and when I go to Western Xia, I can start again. ”
Yuan Hao sat on the hillside with Yizhi, overlooking the bright lights of Bianjing City, beautiful and gorgeous, and the lamps and candles sold stretched from the street to the end of the street, like a fire dragon, illuminating half of the night.
Yizhi put his arm around Yuan Hao, leaned on his shoulder, pointed to the streets and alleys of Fanlou East, and said, "Do you remember that piece of red shark handkerchief?" ”
Yuan Hao smiled: "Of course I remember, 'Who steals the real fragrance in the bag, and the blood of the shark is dyed red.'" Attentive left a light will, and the slave and the talented man were placed in the sleeve. He paused, then added, "When I picked up the veil, I thought you had accidentally dropped it." ”
Yizhi asked again: "You know that we are playing such a game, how can we not be angry." ”
Yuan Hao was silent for a long time, and said: "Yurong exhausted all my true feelings, at that time, I only had a great cause in my heart, and my good impression of you can be restrained with reason." ”
Remembering tilted his head, leaned on his arm, and said, "I don't like to hear it." She paused for a moment, and then said, "I just love to hear you say, you love me and I have lost your mind." ”
Yuan Hao smiled and hugged her and asked, "It's cold at night, are you cold, does it hurt?" ”
Remembering the way: "If you hug it tighter, it won't be cold or hurt." As he spoke, he shrank into his arms.
The lights and candles sold in Bianjing City gradually went out, and the world fell into silence.
When the sky was gray and there was a faint light of light, the streets and alleys of the restaurants were lit up one by one, and the vendors of the shopping malls pushed flatbed trucks with gardenia lamps through the streets and alleys.
Yuan Hao shook Yizhi's hand and said, "Let's go." ”
It is the beginning of a red sun, the sky is slightly white, the street restaurants are three or three, lighting candles and lanterns, hanging colorful flags, people dressed as doctors are busy in the store, and the small shops are full of people, which is different from the liveliness of the day.
The two approached the first breakfast shop, and it happened that Dr. Rice lifted the lid of the large steamer, and the mist of water and vapor poured out of the steamer one after another, and the aroma rushed to their faces, and the mist dispersed, revealing a large porcelain bowl containing vegetable leaves and stuffing. The leaves are green, the dew condensed by the steam makes it even more crisp and delicious, and the steamed soft meat filling is next to the ball in the center.
Everything is the same as before.
She looked around at the familiar mat, the familiar rice doctor, the familiar coarse porcelain bowl and the familiar vegetable leaf stuffing, unconsciously shrank up, across the case, approached Yuan Hao closer, and asked, "Why do you love to eat vegetable leaf stuffing so much." ”
Yuan Hao said in a puzzled tone: "I love to eat? He paused, then said, "Think about it yourself, do I like to eat, or do you like to eat?" ”
Yizhi didn't feel bored, she reviewed it carefully, it seemed that he really didn't mention what he liked to eat, he had always arranged it himself, she suddenly said: "It turns out that you don't like to eat." She thought of her former self again, she really liked the arrangement very much, and she frowned again, and said: "What else do you don't like to eat, but I misunderstood it as your favorite food." ”
Yuan Hao said: "I didn't say that I don't like to eat, I see that you are happy, and I am happy." As soon as you are happy, you can eat anything. ”
Yizhi found the familiar Li Ping, he was no longer the one who made him afraid, the crazy and bloodthirsty evil tiger on the battlefield, she asked with a smile: "The royal relatives and dignitaries on the streets of Bianjing, why are you lurking in my house." ”
Yuan Hao said: "It's very simple, the governance is the most benevolent, the population is the simplest, and the girl is the most beautiful." ”
Yizhi couldn't help laughing, pressed it again, and said: "When the official family saw me for the first time, he thought it was unexpected, he thought that I should have the posture of captivating the country and the city, so that you could be confused and didn't know why. ”
Yuan Hao stretched out his hand to pull out the chopsticks in the bucket, and said casually: "He knows a fart." ”
Yizhi's chest jumped suddenly, and he unconsciously thought of the separation in the future, and said with a wistful smile: "I used to laugh at Sister Yingqiu, and I was ashamed to say that I was ambitious, and I would never worry about who I was. ”
She paused for a moment and said: "At that time, she said that I hadn't yet opened my mind, and I didn't understand it at the time, which was in response to the sentence 'young people don't know the taste of sorrow', and also responded to the sentence 'Tiger ribs fly in the daytime.'" ’”
Yuan Hao looked at Yizhi with a smile and said, "I also have my past to take care of, and now I am separated for a better future." ”
Even if it is difficult to leave, there will be a day when you leave, after Yuan Hao returned to Western Xia, the prototype of Qingming Temple was completed.
Suiyang Academy was originally located in the bustling city, and after it was promoted to a government school, it was repaired and expanded to worship the temple, the Dacheng hall, the former lecture hall, the gate of the academy, the imperial library, the champion bridge, the instructor's residence, the Minglun hall, and the corridor room.
The Qingming Temple is built behind the instructor's house. A side door leads straight to the street, as usual, with the study as the main room, and there are five or six houses on the east and west sides, which are left to Fu Liangbi, Han Yuqi, Ouyang Xu, and Shi Jie in turn. Behind the main house is two walls of bamboo forest, winding path leads, a pool of water, there is a wooden bridge on the pond water, a three-storey attic is built in the middle of the pool, and the plaque written by Zhao Zhen is hung high, the princess pavilion.
The princess pavilion is concise and to the point.
However, she can ignore it, the Qingming Courtyard is adding bricks and tiles every day, and Yizhi gradually moves the old things into the courtyard and decorates them.
With each additional day, her heart was full, as if her past was coming back little by little, making her find her former self and meet the future that was about to arrive.
When Ouyang Xu bought a pear tree and transplanted it in the yard, Wang Zeng shook his head and said: "I have persuaded before, 'pear', 'leaving', ominous meaning, sure enough, one by one, scattered from all sides, it is rare to reunite. ”
Ouyang Xu said with a smile: "The master once said that the eldest husband has ambitions in all directions, how can he be greedy for stability, as long as his heart is firm, he is not afraid of separation." ”
Memories smiled and agreed.
Wang Zeng had no choice but to smile and shake his head.
Fu Liangbi, who returned from the Liao State, wiped Yan Shu's old things without saying a word, his face did not calm the war between the two countries, the joy of being free from the misery, and he did not have the pride of being among the Zaifu.
The king had realized his intentions and said, "Now that the matter has settled, you should also think about it." ”
At the mention of this matter, Fu Liangbi's face turned red in an instant, and he said stupidly: "But the difference between one word, from active to passive, my Song Kingdom is known as the hometown of poetry and books, the state of etiquette, can't you tell the difference, the difference between the word 'help' and 'dedication' and the word 'acceptance'?" Liao Xingzong asked for the oath to use 'dedication' or 'acceptance', blatantly trying to suppress us, I risked my life to fight for reason, and mediated for a few days......"
Wang Zeng interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about this matter again. ”
Fu Liangbi looked directly at Wang Zeng and said, "There is no blood! He continued: "We have sent the prisoners of war sent by Yuan Hao, the younger brother of the Liao Emperor and Her Royal Highness the princess to the Liao court safely, and they will not and cannot resort to force for the words 'dedication' and 'acceptance'. Why should you endure such humiliation? ”
Ouyang Xu sneered and said, "Those who have been kneeling for a long time can't stand up." ”
Wang Zeng said: "Don't think that with Yuan Hao as a backer, you can talk nonsense wantonly, isn't it enough to learn a lesson!" ”
Fu Liangbi said: "I don't need anyone to be a backer. I only know that I can't lose the backbone I should have.
Western Xia is not indestructible, what Yuqi said is not wrong, if the Shaanxi Five-Way Army launches together, it can level the northwest in one fell swoop. His Majesty hesitated, and the minister cowered, so he gave him the opportunity to break them one by one!
When the break is continuous, when the strong is not strong, the flower frame can't block the artillery and the strong bow, so he is busy laughing and offering money and brocade clothes. They had to make him kneel in. He put cotton on his knees, thinking to himself, it doesn't hurt to kneel anyway, so he knelt down! ”
Wang Zeng couldn't help but shake his head: "If you are so stubborn, how can you go far!" ”
Yizhi listened to it for a long time, closed the book, and said: "But if the people Yuan Hao wants to recruit, if they fail to succeed and unfortunately become captives, they will cut off their ears and noses to show the world." Brother Yuqi once secretly set up an ambush, causing him to lose fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers, but Yuan Hao respected him. During the peace negotiations, he attacked Weizhou to warn the Song court not to lose its promise. He attacked Xinzhou to warn the Liao State and did not want to take advantage of the fire to rob.
It is true that Western Xia is not indestructible, it is he who used his decisiveness and resourcefulness to establish a prestige with clear grievances, making the strong stronger and the weak weaker. He once said that prestige is to make people fearful and respectful. ”
She paused and said: "But it's a battlefield, it's an amplified power struggle, that road is built with blood and flesh, full of killing, fast, ruthless, accurate, you can't hesitate."
But he said that whether it is my father or Uncle Wang, what we have been taught since childhood is that we are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, round on the outside and square on the inside, so that we can advance and retreat freely and achieve what we want in our hearts. That's life, it's intrigue in the calm of the waves, because in that environment, whoever takes the edge is in danger. ”
The crowd listened quietly.
Yizhi smiled, shook his head, and said: "There is no absolute right or wrong, but the position is different, and the aura is different. So we need each other, to comfort each other when we have amnesia, and to warn each other when we are proud. Learn from each other and complement each other's strengths.
As long as I am good, you will be able to climb step by step. As long as you are good, I will be able to be impregnable, this is the meaning of home. ”
Yizhi looked at Fu Liangbi and said, "I won't persuade you anymore." He smiled at Ouyang Xu again: "Let's work together." ”
