Chapter 011: The Mystery of the Water Pavilion
"This is a bit like our general and Fujin!" Su'er chimed in.
Xue Yan sighed: "No, it's really rare, I think it's probably too perfect but it provokes the jealousy of God, less than three years of marriage, this Fujin Lu suddenly contracted a disease and died, and he didn't even leave a child when he left." "
Stopping here, Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered the first time he saw Nalan Rongruo, and the coldness in his eyes that could not be dissipated turned out to be incomprehensible due to love...... couldn't help sighing: "I can't complain that many of his words are actually mourning." "
Xue Yan nodded and continued: "The coffin of the Lu clan is in the ancestral hall of the Nalan clan, I heard that Lord Rong went to keep watch every night, and it took a year and a half to let him be buried in the ground. After Lu's departure, Lord Rong has not renewed the strings, and often pays tribute to relieve the feelings of longing, so deep feelings, it is really moving! Snow Goose couldn't help but look gloomy as she spoke.
After listening to Xue Yan silently, she couldn't help but be moved by Nalan's emotions. Thinking of his anger today, he must not want her to disturb the peace of his beloved, thinking of this, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but secretly feel guilty.
Su'er also sighed: "It's a pity that the Lu clan married such a Langjun, but he went early." "
Huai Sleeve said: "It doesn't matter if the one who is gone, the poor one is the one who remains, and he is tormented by the heart-wrenching thoughts." "
At this time, a muffled thunder rolled over the distant sky. The cumulonimbus clouds that had been sinking for a day were finally dropped. Tick on the window lattice. The eaves soon accumulated water, and the beads were connected into threads, and the wisps fell down like crystal curtains. On the railing outside the window was a pair of yellow finches hiding from the rain, chirping, like a young couple chatting about homely things.
Huai sleeve looked far away, looked at the rain outside the window, and recited in his mouth: "But I will open my eyes all night long, and repay my life for not raising my eyebrows......"
I don't know if it's because of the depressed weather, or the sad love affair I just heard, Huai Sleeve only feels sullen in his heart.
The summer heat is gradually subsiding, and it is the end of summer in the blink of an eye, and the cool breeze blows in the morning and evening, and the weather is clear and comfortable. Huai Sleeve changed his clothes in the early morning and was about to go out, Su Er came in from outside, and when she saw that Huai Sleeve had changed her clothes again, she was surprised: "Xiao Gege still dares to go out?" didn't look over what day it was, Ergege let go, saying that he was not allowed to leave the house today. "
Huai Sleeve smiled disapprovingly: "Isn't it the Menglan Festival?" Bengege is not afraid of ghosts, besides, the ghosts in broad daylight dare not come out, hehe! "
Su Er was about to open her mouth to persuade her, and said with her sleeve: "Don't tell my second sister, I'll come back when I go shopping." After the words fell, he had already led the snow goose out of the room.
Today's sleeves don't want to go to Zifeng Lou to listen to books, so they rode horses to wander on the street, today's street on both sides, suddenly added a lot of selling pasting ingots, houses and horses of burning paper offerings, very lively.
As soon as he reached Chengnan Street, he was greeted by a horse galloping past and heading straight to the south gate. Looking at the back of the man, it was Nalan Rongruo. Seeing him galloping on his horse, as if he was going out of the city, his curiosity arose, and he urged his horse to follow.
"Hey! Ge, Childe, where are you going? Seeing that Huai Sleeve suddenly rode his horse and galloped, Xue Yan hurriedly urged the horse to catch up.
He didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on the horses in front of him. Sure enough, the horses quickly galloped out of the city and into the suburbs.
Out of the city, to the suburbs, pedestrians gradually sparse, arms sleeves for fear of being discovered. I put a little distance away from him. Xue Yan saw it clearly at this time and asked, "Gege, where are you going?" "
Huai Sleeve shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's go over and have a look." "
After a short walk, a dense forest appeared in front of him, and Rong Ruo's horses went straight in, and when Huai Sleeve walked to the front, he saw only a sheep intestine path leading straight into the depths of the dense forest, and Huai Sleeve and the snow goose walked slowly along the path.
This forest is very dense, the branches are in the sky, the shade is thick, the sky is almost invisible when you look up, the birds are chirping in your ears, the branches and leaves are rustling, and there is only this feasible winding path in all directions.
The horse with sleeves and snow geese slowly stepped on the forest path, and when he looked around, the thick shade suddenly opened up, and a large flat and bright open space was displayed.
"Gege ......"
"Shh......h
As soon as the snow goose spoke, she was stopped by her sleeves and looked quietly at the person sitting cross-legged in front of the grave in the middle of the flat ground......
I returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and throughout the afternoon, Huai Sleeve kept wandering in his mind the scene he saw today, a person, a tomb, relatively silent, infinitely lonely and nowhere to send, leaving only sake to relieve lovesickness......
As the twilight grew thicker, Hongqing came to spread the word that Zhu Hetana was fasting in the Buddha hall today, and instructed her to bring dinner to her own room. Huai Sleeve also had no appetite, only passed some porridge and vegetables, hastily used, then called Su'er and Snow Goose to serve to freshen up and sleep.
"Today is the time to wait for Xiao Gege to rest, and today the city gate will not be closed for the whole night, and Ergege tells you to pay more attention." As soon as he lay down, he heard the sound of Hongqing, Su'er and Snow Goose talking outside the window.
After Hongqing left, Su'er whispered to Xue Yan, "Why don't you close the city gate tonight?" "
Xue Yan explained: "This is the grace of the saints today, many people living in the city, the ancestral tombs are outside the city, in order to go out of the city at night to worship the ancestors, the emperor will allow the city gate to be opened overnight." As they spoke, their footsteps drifting away.
Lying on the bed with his sleeves tossing and turning, he unconsciously remembered the scene in the daytime.
Is he still alone in front of Lu's grave at this time? Huai Sleeve couldn't help but guess in his heart, remembering that day when he used force with him on the shore of Houhai, the guilt in his heart came up again, recalling that he relieved himself in Zifeng Tower, repaired the piano for her, and sent medicine......
He sat up suddenly, thinking: He must be full of loneliness and nowhere to complain at the moment, even if he finds someone to buy drunk, it is better than one person to drink alcohol!
Thinking of this, he turned over and got out of bed with his sleeves in his arms, and found the night walking clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time. When this dress was still in the General's Mansion, she sneaked out with her brother at night, and her brother quietly bought it for her from outside, and she brought it with her mother, but she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Packed up safely, and was about to go out, Huai Sleeve suddenly thought of something, found a big green cloth, wrapped the guqin and tied it on his back. He grabbed a few pieces of dim sum from the porcelain plate on the table and put them in his arms, and quietly walked out of the room.
Be careful to avoid patrolling the house, sneaking to the stable, the horse with the sleeve is tied separately from the horse next to it, it is easy to find, touch the horse, the sleeve gently strokes the horse's forehead, take out the snack, and whisper while feeding: "Little girl, don't shout for a while, after you finish the job, Bengege will have a heavy reward!" "
The horse didn't know whether he really understood human nature, or was bribed by dim sum, so he sneaked out of the back corner door of the mansion without saying a word. After leaving the house, he turned over his horse with his sleeves and went straight to the south city gate.
Sure enough, there were many pedestrians on the street, carrying paper money offerings to and fro. Looking at these in his sleeves, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: all the thoughts in the world are gathered tonight, exceeding, dying, and dying in one life. If there is reincarnation, can lovesick people meet again in reincarnation?
Unconsciously, the horses have galloped out of the city, although there are also memorial carriages and horses outside the city, but they are much rarer than in the city, gradually, fewer and fewer pedestrians, and finally, only one man and one horse are left in their arms, and by the clear moonlight, they run to the dense forest, and the horse's hooves are crisp, echoing in the silent night of the wilderness.
