After coming out of the Chu Palace, we stayed in Liang Jingren's villa.

In the current situation, it seems more secure to live in the mountains by the river than to live in the Taishou Mansion.

Our boat is moored at a secluded pier at the bottom of the hill, with a private passage leading to the back door of the villa.

Our safety is guaranteed, but for some reason, I have an unspeakable layer of concern.

Because, the more Liang Jingren knows about him, the more he feels that his identity is very unusual.

If he was just a pure rice merchant, why did his mountain villa be so mysterious? It's as if you're ready for an enemy to attack at any time, and if you have a crisis, you can quickly flee.

What makes me even more puzzling is that he wants us to know about such a secret passage? He and we are not related, we only met a few days ago. If he served us with all his heart, it would not explain his arrogance and indifference in the first place.

His villa was built on the Hanyang Hill, and when we arrived, it was the season when the peaches were ripe.

Looking at the weeping peach branches, I asked, "This should be the famous Peach Blossom Mountain, right?" ”

Liang Jingren said, "Yes, the Peach Blossom Lady Temple is at the foot of the mountain over there, from my other garden, it will be there in a while." After sitting in the living room for a while, Tai said to me, "Anyway, it's okay now, why don't we take a look at the Peach Blossom Lady Temple together." ”

The king of Qi said, "I will go with you." ”

Liang Jingren also said, "Since the minister is the host, he naturally has to accompany several His Highnesses." ”

So we took a few retinues to the Peach Blossom Temple.

Before entering the temple gate, I smelled a striking fragrance from a distance, and there seemed to be flowers flying with the fragrance of flowers.

Tai stretched out his hand and fished it out in the air, and asked curiously, "What kind of flower is this?" ”

, updated the fastest. But this is the first time we've seen such a flower.

Liang Jingren pointed ahead and said, "You see, the flowers are blown down from those two acacia trees. ”

We all widened our eyes in surprise because. Those two trees have "two trees" at their roots. But the top slowly grew together and became "a tree". The tree is covered with red ribbons, and there is an incense burner under the tree for people to burn incense and worship.

Liang Jingren pointed to the tombstone behind the tree and said, "That's the tomb of Mrs. Peach Blossom." ”

I asked, "Didn't she share the burial ground with her husband?" ”

Liang Jingren said with a smile, "Yes, that's why the descendants planted two acacia trees in front of their tombs." Unexpectedly. These two trees are also human, they grow and grow, and they grow together. Such a miraculous tree naturally attracts people from all over the world to worship. Especially those who have lovers, tie ribbons embroidered with their names on the trees, and burn incense and pray for the sacred tree to bless them from each other. ”

I looked up at the tall acacia tree, which was full of pom-pom-like flowers. Green like an umbrella. I reached out and removed a ribbon, and sure enough, the names of the two men were embroidered in very small letters.

Liang Jingren said again, "This tree is even more strange, you see that it is open now, right?" Wait until the evening. The noodles closed on their own. ”

Everyone no longer knows how to express their inner amazement, only continuous admiration.

I walked up the steps. Squatting in front of a tombstone. It is engraved with the story of Lady Peach.

Lady Peach Blossom is the wife of the monarch of the Xi Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Mrs. Xi returned to Chen Guo to visit relatives. Passing through Cai Guo, I went to visit my sister who married Cai Hou. Who knew that he was molested by Cai Hou during the banquet. Mrs. Xi did not wait for the end of the banquet. Go off in a huff.

After Xi Hou learned about this, he thought that Cai Hou had deceived people too much, and he was determined to avenge this "revenge for insulting his wife".

At that time, small states such as Xi, Cai, and Chen were all dependent on the large state of Chu to survive, which was equivalent to a vassal state of Chu. Xihou took advantage of the opportunity to go to the court to meet the king of Chu to sow discord in front of him, and finally provoked the king of Chu to destroy the state of Cai in one fell swoop.

Cai Hou ruined the country and his family because of an attempted flirtation, how can he be willing? deliberately praised Mrs. Xi's beauty in front of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu was a womanizer, not to mention that destroying the Xi Kingdom was just an easy matter for him. As a result, Xi Guo soon suffered the same fate as Chu State. When the concubine heard the change in the palace, she rushed into the back garden and was about to commit suicide by throwing herself into the well, but was stopped by Chu General Doudan. Dou Dan said, "Madame, don't you want to save the life of the Marquis?" ”。 For the sake of her husband, the concubine had to go to the big tent of the king of Chu with Doudan.

As soon as the king of Chu saw the concubine, he gave the soul and comforted him, and promised not to kill the marquis. In the army, he made the concubine his wife, because she looked like a peach blossom and was delicate, so he called her "Mrs. Peach Blossom." Xihou became the gatekeeper of the capital of Chu.

The concubine was very favored in the palace of the king of Chu, and three years passed in a flash, and the concubine gave birth to two sons for the king of Chu, but she never said a word. The king of Chu couldn't bear it anymore, and one day he used the lives of all the palace people in the concubine's palace to force the concubine to speak. The concubine was forced to be helpless, so she had to say with tears in her eyes: "I am a woman and a second husband, and I can't keep the festival and die, what face do I have to say to others?" ”

It took three years for the king of Chu to finally let his beloved beauty open the golden mouth and happily go out of the city to hunt.

The concubine took this opportunity to secretly run to the city gate to see her husband. When the two met, they were separated from each other, and the concubine cried and said, "The concubine is in the Chu Palace, enduring humiliation and stealing life, at first in order to save the king's life, and then in order to see the king, now the wish has been fulfilled, and death is also blind." Xi Hou also said with a heartfelt heart, "I'm willing to serve as a city guard, don't you hope to have a chance to reunite?" ”

The concubine shook his head and said, "It is impossible for you and me to reunite in this life, let's wait for the next life." ”

After finishing speaking, he slammed into the city wall, and suddenly his brain burst out. Xi Hou mourned, and in order to repay the affection of the concubine, he also died beside his wife.

The king of Chu came back from hunting, and after hearing about this, he was saddened, and felt the true feelings of the two, so he also buried the marquis and the concubine on the slope of the sunny mountain with the gift of the princes, and planted peach blossoms on the mountain, so as to become a peach blossom mountain.

I was sighing for Mrs. Peach Blossom in front of the tombstone, Liang Jingren stood on the side and said, "Ouch, you put ten thousand hearts, you are not beautiful, no one will attack the Jin Kingdom for you, and you have no chance to become Mrs. Peach Blossom, what are you lamenting?" ”

"You...... Too lazy to pay attention to you. "People are thinking about the past, and they have nothing to talk about with those who have not been transformed or cultivated.

"Well, let me tell you, if someone doesn't dislike you for being ugly and goes to great lengths to rob you, you should run away with him quickly, lest there be no such shop in this village."

It's too much! Just now I was reading the story of Mrs. Xi being molested by Cai Hou, but I didn't expect that I was also molested.

I looked back and saw that Tai and King Qi were looking at the poems engraved on the stone walls everywhere. I opened my mouth and shouted, "Husband! ”

At this moment, I just want to call him.

Just like Mrs. Xi, no matter how much the King of Chu dotes on her, she only misses her husband.

In a person's life, he will meet many people who are worthy of love. If Mrs. Xi met the King of Chu first, to the extent that the King of Chu liked her, they would definitely be a loving couple.

But Mrs. Xi married Xihou first, and her heart was given to Xihou, and it was already too late for the King of Chu to love her again.

Tai turned around and smiled, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Come here, and we'll say goodbye under this tree." Here it comes. ”

At this moment, I saw King Qi's gloomy eyes.

I felt a tingling in my heart.

God, no matter what I do, can't I force myself to forget about him?

Can I not be lovesick, just acacia?
