Chapter 5 The mountain rain is coming
Suddenly, Youwei said, "No, no. ”
Yu Yao was puzzled by what she said, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Youwei said: "The acacia walnuts mentioned in the first song are in exactly the same position as the exquisite dice in the second song, and the author obviously wants to have a reference. And the last sentence of the first poem, 'There is no one else in Xu Yuanlai', as if to say that there are some unknown secrets in Hehuan walnuts. ”
Yu Yao suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Sure enough! I didn't think of this layer before. The sentence "Li Xu Yuan comes to someone else" also adopts the technique of homophony, and the benevolence of people and peach kernels is the same sound. Acacia walnut differs from regular walnut in that it has two peach kernels in it. Huangfu Song's "Bamboo Branches" also has clouds: the two of them are the same as the walnut. Wen Tingyun's poem is written in this way, the original intention should be to refer to the other person in the heart, if there is a deep metaphor for the walnut in the other, it is not impossible! However, the world only knows that the exquisite dice handed down by the Wen family are treasures that can bring the dead back to life, and they have never heard of a treasure called Hehuan walnut. ”
Youwei was suddenly surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Maybe Wen Cang didn't lie to you, there are no Linglong dice in Linglong Villa, but there are other treasures to solve the difficulties in front of us!" ”
Yu Yao also smiled: "Yes, the world only knows that there are two exquisite dice that have been handed down to future generations, but they don't know that there is only one exquisite dice, and Wen Tingyun has left something else with his wife, no wonder how many people have been looking for it for so many years." ”
Youwei nodded yes and said, "No matter what it is, as long as it exists, there must be traces to follow." Over the years, countless people have sought no avail, perhaps it means that another exquisite dice does not exist. Maybe it was the Wen family who released the news of the holiday to confuse the public. ”
Yu Yao said: "Linglong Villa is unfathomable, you and I must be more careful in our actions from now on." When you see the lord and lady of the Wen family tomorrow, you must be extra respectful and polite, and you must not expose your hiding and let them be on guard. ”
Youwei said: "Brother Yao, don't worry, I will keep in mind the word prudence." Let's stay first, there will always be a chance in the long run. ”
Jiashu is separated from the cloth, and Yuguan lives the birds. The night moon is like frost, and the golden wind is curling.
It was late at night, but the whispering did not stop, and no one noticed that there was a pair of shining eyes in the shadow of the dark night tree.
Yu Yao and Youwei are full of hope for tomorrow, but they don't expect this independent Linglong Villa to be even more unusual than they thought.
The gold and stone are sonorous, and the hairpins are also numerous.
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the second day.
Yu Yao and Youwei followed the Wen Cang brothers and sisters into the hall used for the banquet in Linglong Villa.
The hall is tiled out of the eaves, sitting west to east, in the middle of the tall top floor on the arched doorway. There is a plaque hanging high in the hall, on which are written the words "Langhuan Dream". Langhuan, also written Lang Huan or Chang Huan, is the place where the legendary Emperor of Heaven collects books.
There is a pair of couplets on both sides of the plaque, the upper link is "golden step shake, jade strip off, love for the world tired of a thousand poems", the lower link is "white head Weng, Cang Erzi, drunk is a bottle of homesickness wine".
Youwei quietly tugged at Yu Yao's sleeve and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it is a family of poetry, books and etiquette." ”
Youwei pretended to be the Miss Yu family who entered Linglong Villa, but at the moment she forgot her identity, and the eldest lady of the Yu family should be used to these ink games.
Yu Yao secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly glanced at her.
But it had just taken several months for Youwei to get used to the identity of the eldest princess of the Great Circumference, and she couldn't calmly grasp the identity of the daughter of this family of poetry and books.
And the Wen brothers and sisters had already heard it, Wen Dai smiled indifferently, and Wen Cang pretended not to know.
Wen Jufan and his wife saw them enter the hall and personally walked down the steps to greet them.
Wen Jufan grabbed Yu Yao's hand and said, "Virtuous nephews, virtuous nieces and nephews have come from afar, and Linglong Villa is really full of brilliance!" I think that when Guo Wei had not yet established the Great Zhou, the place where our two families were located belonged to the same Han Dynasty, and your father and I were also young and frivolous, often practicing martial arts, discussing Taoism, poetry and singing, how enjoyable it was! It's a pity that now the national borders are blocked, family affairs are involved, and people are no longer in the mood of the past! ”
Yu Yao smiled and said, "My father often mentions Uncle Wen. ”
Wen Cang said on the side: "Father, it's better to sit down and talk about it in detail." ”
Mrs. Wen also said: "Yes, what Cang'er said is true." ”
Wen Jufan laughed a few times, powerful and deafening.
"I'm so old and confused, quick, sit down."
So, all the guests and hosts were seated.
Youwei whispered to Wen Dai: "Why don't you see the second lady and the uncle Tang yesterday?" ”
Wen Dai replied in a low voice: "The weather is not good, the little lady has some symptoms, and suddenly she can't even get out of bed." I heard that my mother had sent Uncle Tang down the mountain to ask a famous doctor to come to the villa for treatment. ”
Youwei said earnestly: "Madame is so kind. ”
Wen Dai smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Wen Jufan said to Yu Yao and the others: "I am crazy by nature, I just want to be a free and loose immortal, I have no intention of supporting the community, I am not as ambitious as your father, he repeatedly invited me to help Da Zhou, but I refused." Fortunately, the friendship was deep when I was young, and I don't think he will blame me. ”
Yu Yao said: "My father adheres to his ancestral aspirations and has to always be troubled by mundane things, but my nephew has a similar temperament with Uncle Wen and has no intention of going out, so he is more comfortable and happy to wander the rivers and lakes." ”
Wen Jufan was happy and laughed: "Not bad! Not bad! It is said that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Xianzong welcomed the Buddha's bones, Mu Zong baited Jindan, Wuzong received the Dao Gong, and Xuanzong was a good immortal, which led to the withering of people's livelihood, and no one was worth helping. ”
Youwei couldn't help but interject: "Uncle Wen is right. However, the Great Zhou Taizu worked hard, and now the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is thriving, which is much better than the situation of the Han Dynasty along the way. ”
After Youwei finished speaking, she was also startled, and when she saw the people around her, she remembered that she should have been the daughter of the Yu family at this time, not the eldest princess of Da Zhou.
This repeated identity change, coupled with different characters, is really unbearable.
"Little sister, Hugh is rude!"
Yu Yao can't wait to look up to the sky and roar! Although she was told again and again last night, Youwei was still so speechless, seeing Wen Jufan's smile stiff, her face was a little unbearable.
At this time, Wen Cang said: "The child also heard that in recent years, the Great Zhou has experienced the governance of two generations of emperors, and it has begun to show results, and now the new emperor who has just ascended the throne has the ambition to recover the lost land. My father has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he is used to being idle clouds and wild cranes, and it is common for him not to know in time. ”
Mrs. Wen also helped: "Master, we haven't been out of the mountains for a long time, and we haven't asked about the world, and it's been changing day by day when we think about it, so don't talk about those old yellow calendars, it's better to talk to young people more, these words sound so novel and interesting." ”
Wen Jufan smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam is right, we are really old!" ”
Yu Yao got up and said: "My little sister has been pampered by her parents since she was a child, she has been in the boudoir for a long time, she has never traveled far away, she knows all poetry, books and martial arts, it is really the frog at the bottom of the well that cannot speak to the sky, and the summer insect cannot speak to the ice. After speaking, he glanced at Youwei and said, "Why don't you apologize to Uncle Wen soon?" ”
As soon as Youwei stood up, Wen Jufan smiled and said: "The children of the rivers and lakes are not informal, not to mention, they just express their own opinions, what is wrong with the virtuous niece?" The virtuous nephew was so nervous that it seemed that I couldn't tolerate anyone. ”
Yu Yao then echoed: "What Uncle Wen said is that it is better for the nephew to punish himself with three cups first!" With that, he poured himself three cups and drank them all.
Wen Jufan also raised his glass and said, "The virtuous nephew is polite." He drank all the wine in his glass.
Youwei also raised her glass and said: "I don't drink enough, so I will give Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen a glass!" ”
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Wait." Come, sit down beside me, and let me take a closer look. As he spoke, he beckoned to Youwei.
Youwei was timid, Yu Guang looked at Yu Yao on the side, and saw that Lu Yao nodded, so she moved the lotus step lightly and walked to Mrs. Wen's side.
Mrs. Wen reached out, took her hand, and said, "Sit." ”
Youwei slowly sat aside, carefully examined by Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen first spread out her palms to take a closer look, and then looked up at her delicate eyebrows.
"What a good girl! Looking at this delicate palm, it is true that he has never practiced martial arts. In my opinion, the girl's house should be so quiet and gentle. This little one looks very good, like a blessed child. ”
Wen Cang and Wen Dai looked at each other quietly.
Mrs. Wen asked Yu Yao, "Virtuous nephew, why did your Yu family hide such a good girl so tightly?" The eldest brother is like a father, do you know if you have promised others? ”
At this time, Wen Cang's eyebrows were tightly locked, he was already slightly sweating, and one hand was holding the edge of the robe tightly, secretly exerting himself.
Wendy quietly reached over and grabbed his wrist.
Wen Cang raised his head, and there were tears in his eyes.
Wen Dai smiled.
Wen Cang slowly relaxed.
When Yu Yao heard Mrs. Wen say this, he was also shocked in his heart, and he couldn't arrange a marriage contract that could justify himself for a while, so he had to say: "The sister is still young, so she is not allowed. ”
Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile and said, "Tan Lang Yu, Luo Shen Tianzi, it is really a good match." Niece Xian, don't you want to toast? Someone came and brought me the nine pieces of incense that I brought back from my mother's house. ”
Youwei had already blushed and just lowered her head.
Soon, two maids in Tsing Yi approached with a green jade wine jug and two small cups, both of which were carved with lotus patterns.
In such a situation, Youwei had to stand up, poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Mrs. Wen, and said, "Auspicious clouds fall from the sky, people add blessings and longevity, and respect for aunt." ”
Mrs. Wen's smile was warm and loving, and she took the wine glass and said, "Good, good." With that, he drank it all.
Youwei raised another wine glass to drink, but was stopped by Madame Wen.
Mrs. Wen smiled: "Just now you said that you are not strong enough to drink, don't get drunk early." ”
Yu Yao said: "A cup is not tight." ”
Mrs. Wen said: "I came from a boxing family, such a gentle and demure child is indeed rare in my life, and I still have a lot to ask you." Cang'er, you come, drink this wine instead. ”
Wen Dai suddenly stood up and said, "Mother, Sister Yu salutes your wine, how can you drink it instead?" ”
Mrs. Wen pretended to be annoyed and said to Wen Dai, "What do children know? Sit down. He said to Wen Cang again: "Cang'er, why don't you come soon?" ”
Wen Cang got up slowly and said, "Yes." ”
Wen Dai said: "Then it's better for me to drink this cup for the Yu family's sister." As he spoke, he got up.
Wen Cang stopped her, shook his head, and said, "Dai'er." ”
Wen Dai grabbed him tightly, and said in a low but hurried voice: "Brother, no! ”
Wen Cang brushed her hand away and stepped forward.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wen smiled even more heartily.
But for some reason, the smile suddenly froze, and even Mrs. Wen's snow-like cheeks suddenly collapsed.
"Madame!"
"Mother!"
For a while, the sound of howling and breaking cups came and went.
