"This is Xifu?" Ah Yang stood in front of the tall door number, watching the people coming and going, greeting each other with sorrow on their faces.

"These old nobles are not as good as they used to be......" Gu Nianheng said with a calm face.

"The new nobles can't stand up either!" Ah Yang snorted, clasped his hands to his chest, and when he saw Gu San looking at him, he restrained a lot, and his face had a look of expectation.

"It's not going to go down." With a flat smile on the corner of Gu San's mouth, he gently rubbed the buckle on his finger. "Xi Ping's Gao clan is married to the Langya Wang clan for generations."

Ah Yang was silent for a moment, and then followed Gu San into the door with the subordinate who was wearing plain clothes and wearing linen and filial piety.

In the lobby at the other end, the people in the Xi family were busy living, and suddenly heard the next person secretly walking forward quickly, and secretly said something to an old woman in the hall, the old woman showed a look of surprise, and then put down the work in hand, and went to the front courtyard with a cane.

Gu San's face hurriedly looked at Xi Fu, and silently turned the Buddha beads in his hand. At this time, a heavy dark circle under her eyes, and a sad woman saw that when she heard the post holding the thread of Xi's Changfang, she came out to greet her with tears, and the words in her mouth did not spit out, but she saw two young men in plain clothes and handsome faces.

The old lady was stunned for a long time, her wrinkled hand trembled and helped Gu San, and asked with a heavy face. "You, who are you?"

The two replied in unison, bending down to greet each other.

"Then, then, is the Gu family okay who was affected by my sister?" The old woman choked up and asked again. "For so many years, how have she, her children been doing?"

Gu San quietly pinched Ah Yang and pinched the Buddha beads in his hand. "I'm worried about the old lady, I don't know."

At that time, the eldest daughter of Gao Ping Xi's family followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, pacified the Central Plains, and suffered all the hardships along the way. From the years of strife in the cardamom years to the concubine in front of the Qing Palace in Haiyan River, ten years later, the cold sword did not make Gao Ping Xi bow his head, but the open and secret battles in the palace consumed her edge, and also exhausted all the enthusiasm and love of the emperor and the concubine. A jade pendant, a paper book, and the charges of the same Gu family landed. The Gu family died, and the concubine entered the cold palace, entered the ancient temple, and was accompanied by a green lantern.

The old lady didn't know how to make small movements between the two, and when she saw the Buddha beads in his hand, her face was straight, "Monks don't speak!" ”

"We're not monks...... Ah Yang couldn't help but retort in a low voice.

Gu San was shocked in his heart, and in his secret remorse, he glanced at Ah Yang, "Nonsense." ”

As he spoke, Gu San secretly took out a thick stack of paper from his arms, "There are explanations in the letter." Saying that, Gu San glanced at Ah Yang by the way, "This letter was secretly written by herself back then, she is very worried about the family, today one is to come to apologize to the Xi family on behalf of her father, and the other is to come to greet the ......."

The old woman's hand on crutches trembled almost uncontrollably, her face was a little excited, she caught the key words, and repeated it.

Thinking that Gu San and the two of them were going to live, he arranged a residence and asked his subordinates to bring them in.

Then, for a whole day, Gu San and the others walked with everyone in the clan.

Just as Gu San finished eating this day, there was no one at this time, so he thought about going back to his yard to take a walk to eliminate food, and he saw the little woman who was pulling up her hair not far away suddenly turned around, but it was too late, the person in front of her obviously saw her, so he walked forward quickly.

I'm afraid this is another bad fate.

After Gu San made a decision in his heart, he didn't care about Ah Yang's behavior of sneaking into a small corner to peek.

Ah Yang tried hard to climb to the pair of nearest trees below, and endured not to make a little movement, holding his breath, he could only see the expression on the face of the young lady from this angle, only to see that the beautiful young lady was expressionless at first facing the elegant man in front of her, and then showed a surprised look, and then looked a little helpless.

It's so rich, it's like changing your face. Ah Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then stabbed Muragan with his hand.

Ah Yang looked at the body that was suddenly leaning so close to him, and the panic in his eyes flashed, and he was replaced by excitement, "This man's face is full of grief, from headache to end. ”

Xi's daughter has always been fierce and true, and her veins are tender. There are rumors in the streets and alleys: to marry a daughter, you must marry Wang Xie, and to marry a daughter-in-law, you must come to the Xi family to choose.

That's true.

The Xi family has a hundred years of history, and the daughters all look like fairies, with an open-minded temperament, proficient in calligraphy, painting, poetry and books, and have the demeanor of a noble girl in the capital.

The second lady of the second room of the Xi family and the fifth son of the Liu family in Hedong have been husband and wife for three years, and they have been peacefully separated after three years.

Seven out, childless.

After being sent home, the second lady's still flourishing face was surprisingly calm, but she turned around to comfort the tearful rippling mother.

Not long after, the fifth son of the Liu family stopped marrying again.

Mother was talking about the marriage of the second lady everywhere, and coincidentally, the day was set on the day he married his wife.

There is no shortage of young people who come here. So like chasing ducks to the shelves, another marriage was set......

This is the first time the two of them have been together since they parted ways three years later.

The two of them spoke at the same time, but he asked first, "Is he good to you?" ”

"Very well, don't worry about it." The woman's face was calm.

He clenched his fists under his sleeves to keep her from seeing his agitation. I heard that she married in the third month of remarrying her wife, and the man was a weak scholar, although he was not from Zhong Ding's family, he was also rich and noble. He didn't have the courage to ask for sympathy from the woman, for he remembered vividly three years ago that he had spoken ill of her as "Kefu's life."

What did he say, "poisonous woman", "kefu", "childless", "jealous"......

What was she like when she first met a woman, Luo Yi had wide sleeves, an elegant posture, and a smile with dimples in the corners of her eyes, she was an out-and-out beauty. He remembered that he liked her very much, but how did it change later, Xu Yes, he started to get drunk after his career was not smooth, so he took a concubine......

As for her, she just looked at him coldly and called him a "coward". He yelled at her, and gradually began to speak coldly.

"What about you?" She asked calmly with a smile still on her face, her face still as pretty as it had been three years ago.

After so many years, I realized that what he lacked was just an excuse.

So even if he didn't receive the post, he went to the old man's funeral, and when he saw her, he deeply felt that he had done the right thing.

"Don't you hold back everything in your heart like you did back then?" Liu Wulang didn't answer her words directly, but just sighed in a tone that seemed to be doting, helpless, and lamenting. "You're a good person, and I haven't had time to cherish it."

Dusty style, breeze.

The wind wrinkles the hearts that tear between the hearts and lungs.

The two men nodded to each other and left.

Many years later, when I talked to others again, it was just a passerby.

I didn't know what to think at the beginning, but two people with similar and different personalities walked together like this.

He likes to be quiet, does not like to go to banquets, and does not like to visit relatives and friends. She is hilarious, full of friends, staggered, the streamer in her eyes is rippling, and the dimples are shallow.

The years are long, and what I meet has fallen into flowers in the depths of time.

The flowers fell into the dirt, and the past was just empty.

The heaven-made design that was originally recited by the world now seems to be nothing more than enough, and it cannot withstand the scrutiny and polishing of time.

Xu was young at that time, gritting each other's teeth, guarding their hearts, and leaving each other with a back.

On the other side, Ah Yang, who was eavesdropping on the tree, looked at the crumbling tree rustling, and the two of them had not gone far from each other.

Bang.

The branch where Yang was was broken, and his mind went blank with a bang, and then the next moment he heard footsteps, trying to think that he should pass by, or run away.

When the two hard-working mandarin ducks that finally turned back stood under the tree, Yang was very witty and hid in the bushes not far from the crime scene.

"Anyone?" One of them threw his head back and groaned.

"In short, such a thick trunk will never break naturally." The corners of one person's mouth twitched as he looked at the large tree trunk on the ground.

……

When he finally returned to his room, Ah Yang secretly stole a jar of wine to suppress the shock, Gu San closed his eyes and turned the Buddha beads in his hand.

Ah Yang snorted, pretentious guy!

Ah Yang poured himself a big bowl, looked at Gu San with unyielding eyes, and smacked his mouth in enjoyment.

Gu Nianheng reminded expressionlessly. "Beware of people spotting your alcohol......"

For more than ten years, the two of them have been like-minded, and they know how many pounds and taels they have in their hearts.

Before falling asleep, Gu San thought that he would feed Ah Yang a few more bowls of Xingjiu soup.

When I woke up the next day and got dressed, there was silence in the lobby, except for the occasional sob.

The mourning has already begun.

It's been the third day, the people of the Xi family closed the lid of the coffin, and in the midst of the blowing and blowing, the snow and white money in the sky, people began to lift the coffin and put it on the coffin shelf, and the people in the clan cried and cried to send each other, and a few women and children fainted at the scene.

In the crowd that suddenly saw him off, a little grandson who was less than five years old tried his best to catch up with the coffin with his short legs, his face was fearless of ghosts and gods, and he was shouting all the way, "Grandpa, don't go, don't take my grandfather......" and so on.

Everyone who heard it hid their faces and wept.

The child who ran out barefoot was frighteningly red, and his strength was surprisingly great, and he couldn't pull it down.

"He has a high fever, who let him sneak out!" A woman shouted angrily, "On that day, all the people in the room who took care of the little master were punished."

The monks sat in a semicircle and got out of the coffin amid their chanting.

Gu San lowered his eyebrows, and silently recited the scriptures with the crowd.

When I went back, everyone was silent all the way.

At this time, the sun was already in the middle of the sky, and many delicate women fainted with pale faces.

Miss Lu is a young lady from a prestigious family, she is handsome, rich in poetry and books, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for relatives.

She has all the good future, but in twenty-eight years Hua married an old man.

The so-called pear blossom pressed begonia.

If the man marries a concubine, although the world is controversial, it is reasonable, but it is the woman who takes the initiative to ask for marriage, and she is the main wife.

It's incredible......

Especially when the woman was married for less than six months, the man died mysteriously, which had to make the world complain.

The death of the elder of the Xi family, all the arrows pointed to the young lady of the Lu family.

And the elders of the Xi family have passed away in the past, and the young lady of the Lu family said that she was sick and did not attend.

From the time the young lady of the Lu family got married to the time she got married, she showed that she had always been impeccable and perfect.

She is a gentle and virtuous wife, a good mother who is blameless, and she gets along very well with the people in the family.

Elder Xi was very fond of her during her lifetime, and praised everyone she met, and Feng said that the gold and silver mountains were the moon in the sky and would be picked for her.

The husband and wife also became a good story at that time.

Elder Xi died, and made a will, not to touch her.

When Gu San was about to say goodbye, the young lady of the Lu family was preparing to leave under the handover of her mother's family, but it was obvious that everyone was stopped.

"Whoever allows you to go, you are not allowed to go!" A young and beautiful sister-in-law cried with red eyes and pointed to the young lady of the Lu family. "Slut! Don't think I don't know, the next person said, you were standing there when you heard grandpa moaning in the room, even if you didn't do it, you couldn't get out of it! ”

"Don't be rude!" Another middle-aged man grabbed the Kuaishou sister-in-law. It only pulled the girl down, and did not withdraw the intercepted subordinates. "You have to respect your grandfather's will."

Then the middle-aged man bowed his hand respectfully, and his expression was sincere. "There are many things in the clan, and you are the most qualified person to speak in this vein, and please ask the eldest grandmother to stay for a few more days to preside over the host." After a pause, he said again. "There are fewer things to do, if you miss your mother's house very much, you can also go back, don't be in a hurry, and ask grandma to focus on the overall situation."

The middle-aged man just quietly taught her to remember her identity.

Life is the Xi family, and death is the ghost of the Xi family.

Sparing her life does not mean that she will be better, she will stay in the Xi family until she dies.

Similarly, the Lu family also knows this truth, if they can't get out of this door today, they will definitely be imprisoned here for life in the future.

Then there was a Lu family Diao slave who drank angrily. "My young lady wants to leave, and it's your turn to speak!"

"What are you talking about as an outsider in my family's affairs, are you really a bully in my family!" The sister-in-law moved her hands and feet again and threatened.

Both sides drew their swords.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Gu San and Ah Yang stood in the crowd and watched the play silently.

"Did you say the woman was able to go?" Yang asked, tilting his head.

"I can't go." Gu San replied calmly.

"Did you think that woman had a problem with her head? What's the picture? Ah Yang clasped his hands to his chest, looking at the delicate and pale face, Pear Blossom also had another taste with tears, marrying an old man, it was really a little sad, and he couldn't help but scrub his hands and pondered. Are you sure that woman is really the real lady of the Lu family? ”

"I've seen the daughters of the Lu family before, and their faces are somewhat similar." Gu San put his hand to his lips, "However, whether it is a descendant or not remains to be seen." ”

"Then do you say that the young lady of the Lu family will still have a way to live after she goes back?" Yang was puzzled. "It seems that for that woman, it is a dilemma, and there is no difference between going and not leaving."

In this farce, in the dispute between the two parties, the Lu family won on the surface.

Miss Lu finally left with the support of heavy soldiers.

"Sir, do you want to go?" Ah Yang asked in a low voice with bright eyes.

Gu San glanced at Ah Yang and showed a tacit smile. "Tired, long-distance, and overly sad, and have to hurry?"

"Sir wise." Ah Yang raised the corners of his mouth and pretended to arch his hand. "Let's take a walk, let's rest for a few more days."

Not long after, a servant came to the door and brought a local famous doctor.

That famous doctor is very familiar to everyone, it is the doctor who treated Grandpa Xi when he was seriously ill.

The doctor, together with other doctors, suggested that Mrs. Xi had died of poisoning.

Poisoning! As soon as he said this, he immediately spread away, and soon caused a storm in the city.

Those groundless rumors, after having evidence, suddenly public opinion was one-sided, and there were bursts of condemnation.

Even the people of the Lu family had to be smashed with eggs when they went out, and they were scolded everywhere.

The Lu family sacrificed so much, and they must have reaped a lot of good things from it.

It's really exhausted.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

is also a famous family, and his heart is black, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not even an old man from another family will be spared.

No, Miss Lu died violently at home.

When everyone heard it, there was another sigh.

Some people speculated that it was karma, and some people said that the old lady was thinking about her on the ground and grabbed her to accompany her......

When he heard the news, Gu Nianheng and Ah Yang were on their way back to Yongzhou.

"Who did you say killed that young lady like a family?" Yang asked.

"You're sure she was killed, not killed." Gu San smiled and raised his lips and asked rhetorically.

"If she wants to commit suicide, won't she commit suicide sooner, and then commit suicide after being charged with a crime, doesn't it seem too contrived?" Yang raised his eyebrows high.

Gu San gave Ah Yang a teachable look. "I now wonder if those famous doctors are making false testimonies."

"There is such a possibility, after all, how could the people of the Xi family let go of the Lu family, this is a backhand, no wonder she was let go back to her parents' house so easily, and the rain of knives and arrows was waiting behind." Ah Yang clasped his hands and began to shake his head again and asked in confusion. "What do you say Lu Jiatu is? It took so much effort to make ends meet, and in the end, I lost my wife and soldiers, and my reputation was gone! ”

"If I really knew that I wouldn't be here, I would have set up a stall and be a god."

"You look so unreliable, when you are a god operator, no guests come to the door." Yang couldn't help but quip. "But your skin can be sold for a lot of money, I heard you sigh, people, the most important thing is to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses!"

The two of them talked and laughed and walked slowly with a gray horse one after the other, and gradually saw a bunch of villagers gathered in front of them, Ah Yang became curious, and looked at Gu San with bright eyes.

Seeing Gu Nianheng nodding, he quickly led the horse and locked the rope in a place that could be seen but looked more reliable.

In the center of the crowd stood an old woman dressed in a black robe dressed as a witch, her eyes were solemn, she held a wicker, and muttered something in her mouth, and then took the wicker and dipped it in water, and sprinkled it little by little in front of the houses of the people in the streets, and she could not go far back and forth to these three houses. Keep repeating what you once knelt down one day and accidentally said to the head of the heavenly dream.

Because in this region, the weather is always drier.

So every once in a while, some witch women came to pray for rain.

Don't talk about it! There was a large sacrificial event ordered by the great priest of the Wu clan to hold a large-scale sacrificial event, and it was really windy and rainy that day, and it was very accurate.

Therefore, the reputation of the Wu clan has always been relatively good, and wherever there are Wu women passing by, people will be hospitable and ask them for blessings by the way.

The witch in the crowd didn't know if she had real skills or was cheating, anyway, the rain didn't come for a long time, but it attracted a gust of wind.

Ah Yang and Gu San stood on the periphery, watching the witch clan blown by the gust of wind, and the witch's clothes fluttered as if riding the wind.

"You think it's really fake? My heart is very empty! Ah Yang blocked it with his hand and leaned into Gu San's ear and asked.

"Really. Capture the high priest into the desert and communicate with the heavens, breathe the wind, call the rain! Gu San looked up at the northland, as if the wind and sand in the northland were wafting in front of him, and he raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically. Do you say that's done? ”

"If you become emperor, you can do anything." Ah Yang hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Don't say that again." Gu San looked at Ah Yang coldly, his eyes were cold and terrifying.

Ah Yang originally meant to be joking, but he accidentally committed a jealousy again, and he didn't dare to look at Gu San's eyes with a weak heart, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything.

Gu San lowered his eyes, casually collected the emotions in his eyes, and then silently re-knotted the horse's rope, and continued to walk forward calmly.

Ah Yang looked at Gu San thoughtfully, silently following his footsteps.

Gu San actually hated the Wu Clan's gang of people who pretended to be gods and ghosts and spread cult ideas from the bottom of his heart.

That was a long time ago......

I remember that it was the third year of continuous drought, and the high priest set up an altar to call for wind and rain.

If it's a normal drought, all you need is some animal blood.

But that time, the high priest had failed three times in a row.

So the high priest asked His Majesty to take human sacrifice.

What is ridiculous is that the emperor made an expression of enduring pain for the sake of the so-called sentient beings.

In just a few days, the high priest collected 300 pairs of golden boys and maidens in the world.

The raging fire burned for three days and three nights, burning alive more than 600 young boys and girls in their prime of life.

A month later, it really started to rain.

The people sang and danced.

When the rain had stopped, the high priest threw three hundred pairs of golden boys and maidens into the sea.

Pretend to lead the people of one side to worship, thank God for blessings!

That year he happened to be seriously ill, and he would not be able to take a step out of the room for three months, and his mother was afraid that he would be bored, so she taught him to put down his book for a while, and allowed him to go next door to listen to the patriarch and the old man chatting together.

It was an old man with a lot of experience in agriculture who visited Gu's family.

That's what they were talking about.

I can't remember the specific Gu San, I only remember a few words.

"No, there is rain this year, and the high priest just didn't calculate the time, of course, everyone can see it. But you should understand that we have to deal with this matter consciously and sensibly, to take experience. Mind you, it's none of my business, that's six hundred lives, after all! ”

The old wise man put on his straw sandals and walked away, shaking his head as he went. Straight call: sin, sin, sin.

At that time, Gu San leaned on the master's leaning, looking at his mother's gaze staring at the sky with some anxiety, and his eyes were filled with pity and sadness that he couldn't understand, mixed with a trace of anger.

After that, my mother recited the scriptures alone in the meditation room for a long time, and until the middle of the night, she did not stop the wooden fish in her hand......

Around this moment, Gu San secretly made up his mind that if one day he was in power, he would definitely not believe in these crooked ways, and he would definitely eradicate these unhealthy tendencies in society.

Three hundred beautiful young men and women, six hundred lives, three days and three nights of fire, a month later, the singing and dancing of the people, and the ashes of the high priest......

All kinds, outrageous.

However, the people didn't realize it, even the people who sent their children were singing and dancing, cheering up, smiling, and grateful.

This is what the high priest said, the so-called Mandate of Heaven.

So why did Heaven choose him as the High Priest?

Why are those boys and girls born sinful and born deserving to die?

There are people in the Taoist temple who come to worship.

I can only hear a few words.

"Hey, according to me, isn't his baby being contributed, he is too pessimistic. A bumper harvest is in sight, don't chatter, his baby is a person chosen by heaven, which is a good thing! Why is it that their family is so good, I heard that it is still a rich family in the city......"

"Who's to say it isn't!" The other said, shaking his head. "It's not easy to want to open, the daughter of that family heard that she was born very beautiful, and after going to Luoyang to enjoy the flowers and live for a few years the year before last, I heard that she also made a private agreement with the people in Luoyang City for life! There are a lot of nobles in Luoyang, this good year is so bleak, God is jealous......"

The two figures of talking and laughing gradually became more and more blurred, and then slowly moved away from Gu San's mind, Gu San's whole person shook his head, and Ah Yang, who was always staring at Gu San, reached out very quickly to help him, Gu Nianheng shook his head and met Ah Yang's worried gaze.

As a person in power, you should not only know the power scheme, but also the people's livelihood.

When Gu San looked back again many years later, he suddenly remembered the old man's words.

Sobered up, Gu San comforted. "It's nothing, it's just that I'm just thinking about things."

"When you said this, I suddenly remembered that the plum blossoms on the ancient temple came." Ah Yang suddenly sighed thoughtlessly.

The little boy hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Ah Yang, I only thought about going back after only a few days, when I was in the ancient temple before, I wanted to go out and make trouble every day." After a pause, he continued. The master once said that plum blossoms are windy bones, this is the imprint engraved from the heart, and the heart has its own, why should you be born in the plum in the ancient temple. ”

"It is said that the wind and bones of plum blossoms are at ease, living in the soul, sending spirits, polished into powder and still floating with dark fragrance. If there is no external object in the heart, why bother to ask for it. Yang scratched his head and groaned.
