Chapter Fifty-Six: Lingtian Meets the Dead
After sending Yuan Shuhe to Yingle Palace, Yu Zijin returned to Zhongning Mansion tiredly, and just entered the main hall, only to know that Wei Bi had been waiting for a long time.
The Zhongning Mansion is now in turmoil, and the Xianduo Xianyang bureaucrats and nobles are afraid to avoid it, and they dare to come to the door at this time to see the courage of this inner palace lady.
Wei Bi also came from the funeral of Linchuan Palace, she had been loyal to Yu Haojie for a long time, but she didn't expect Yiren to die overnight, and she was also very sad to think about it. Now this Xianyang City is about to be destroyed, she only feels chaotic when she looks at it coldly, she has been used to seeing strong winds and waves for many years, this is nothing to her, but since the person disappeared, she has gradually faded away from her youthful ambitions, and now she just wants to live a clean life.
"You're leaving Xianyang for the North?" Yu Zijin was a little surprised by Wei Bi's decision.
"Although the north is bitter, it is peaceful, and it is good to avoid the wind and rain of Xianyang." Wei Bidao, since she and Dugu Jian got married, the two have been separated without interference, and their feelings have been faded to the extreme, but now that General Dugu died in battle, Mrs. Dugu was taken to Pulin by Dugu Jun and Yu Ziwei to support, and she was the only one left in Xianyang's Dugu General's Mansion, she wanted to avoid the wind and rain of Xianyang, and the only choice was to go on an expedition with her husband.
Besides, Yu Haojie died suddenly, Wei Bi thought that she needed to go to the north, so she came to bid farewell to Yu Zijin today.
Yu Zijin patted her palm, "Then you take care all the way, it's good to stay away from here, as for the matter of the big brother and sister Dugu, I hope you can persuade him!" ”
"Well, I will." Wei Bi didn't stay longer at the right time, bowed to Yuzijin, and left the Zhongning Palace.
After Wei Bi left, thinking that her mother was sick and weak, her niece was young, and Yu Zijin couldn't completely relax her heart, but she couldn't take care of her at the same time, so she ordered Xian'er to call Yingnong and Cuixuan, both of whom were carefully screened by her mother to accompany her to marry into the palace, the most subtle and delicate, she said: "You two have served me for many years, considerate and meticulous, and quick-minded, now the queen mother is sick and weak, and the county lord is young, I am very worried, are you willing to do your best for me?" ”
Yingnong and Cui Xuan glanced at each other, they have followed Yu Zijin for many years, and the relationship between master and servant is very deep, how can you say that you are willing to give it? But in today's situation, the master is worried, of course they have to share the worries of the master as slaves and maids, and they will not hesitate to give them away, how can they selfishly mind that the master wants to give them away? They knelt down together and said, "Slaves and maids, but according to the orders of the princess." ”
Yu Zijin nodded with satisfaction, rewarded the two maids, and personally sent them out of the mansion, Yingnong went to the palace to serve Ming Qinghui to fulfill her filial piety, and Cuixuan went to Yingle Wangfu to take care of Yuan Shuhe on her behalf. In this way, she can rest assured.
In the study, the eye is the lonely celestial figure, her heart is sour, she stepped forward and hugged him from behind, she has been married for many years, she has never longed for his warmth like at this moment.
Holding the jade finger on his waist, Yuan Yifeng turned around and hugged her in his arms.
In the past 20 years, except for parents and siblings, they are the people who have accompanied each other for the longest time, since they met at a young age, too many days and nights have made the original faint friendship change its flavor in the changing of the stars, and subtly even they themselves have not noticed, but it is too late to taste the taste at this moment.
"There is news from the palace that my mother-in-law is looking good today, you should rest in the house, and then go to the palace to accompany her in two days, and persuade her to explain and enlighten, and the illness may be cured in a few days."
Leaning on the lingering embrace of ambergris, Yu Zijin closed his eyes in a careless manner, just wanted to be quiet and not want to, snuggling here forever, "Well, okay." ”
"Zijin?"
"Huh?"
"Come out for a walk with me tomorrow."
"Where to go?"
"Go to a place I used to go to when I was younger."
"Good!"
In the depths of the stratus clouds, the flowers bloom a few times and flow into a spring. In the shadow of the mountains and thousands of shows, the pine waves are stacked, the blue waves swim in the fish, and you can see several flower valleys in the distance, and the fragrance that drifts with the wind is refreshing.
In the early morning of this day, the two of them stood on the winding stone path of the dense forest, and were overwhelmed by the thousands of beautiful scenery.
"This is the place you said you were taking me here?" Yu Zijin never expected that there would be such an out-of-world fairyland just a hundred miles away from Xianyang City. Under the mottled light and shadow, she is delicate and slender in yellow clothes, and her willow waist is like a branch tied with cherry-colored silk, and she looks around the mountains and Vientiane side by side with the white-clothed snow jade fan flowing wind, and the quiet mountains and forests are like a couple of gods.
Yuan leaned on the wind and tied the snow-white horse to the tree by the stone path, "Yes, when I was a young man, I passed by here, and I never thought that the depths of this heavy mountain were such wonderful scenery, and I would come to travel since I stole it." ”
Pointing to the city that could be seen not far away, Yu Zijin said, "What kind of place is there?" ”
Yuan Yifeng glanced at the city, picked the corner of his eye and tapped on the door of her head, "Took you all the way, you don't even know where we came from, that's Lingtian City!" ”
"Lingtian?" Yu Zijin rubbed her forehead and gave Yuan Yifeng a strange look, she actually forgot that Xianyang and Lingtian are only a hundred miles away? It's no wonder that this is the place to be. You must know that the land of Lingtian has always been the ancient capital of smoke and rain, and the place of Zhong Lingyuxiu, and literati and writers have flocked to it throughout the ages. When she came to this holy place today, she naturally wanted to have a good trip, and she didn't care about Yuan Yifeng knocking her forehead and pulling him forward.
There is a long bridge ancient pavilion in the depths of Chonglin, built near the river, and at this moment is gathering several scholars in clear sleeves and long shirts to taste tea and paint.
Yu Zijin followed Yuan Yifeng hand in hand, and the two of them were dressed in light colors, dressed elegantly, and had a scholarly temperament, which did not violate the harmony in a group of knowledgeable scholars.
Seeing a young couple with excellent looks rashly entering the pavilion, a few scholars are not too strange, seeing that the husband and wife are behaving appropriately, and there is also a bit of respect, the middle-aged man who is painting alone can't help but be stunned when he sees the two, he pauses and tentatively calls: "Feng Gongzi? ”
After making sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person, the middle-aged man crossed over to the two of them with a surprised look on his face, and bowed with fervent respect on his always elegant and solemn face, "I haven't seen it for a few years, and the truth is still alive and I can see my son in person, it's really frustrating." ”
"Mr. Wen is polite, he has been entangled in all things at home over the years, and it was not until this year that he made time to go to Mr.'s appointment. The original leaning on the wind showed a jade fan, and the fan was in his hands, and his demeanor was as elegant and unique as in the past.
Mr. Wen waved his hand again and again, "Family matters are important, and this pavilion will invite literati and artists to gather together, which is really just to pass the time, it is really difficult to get into the elegant hall, and the son doesn't have to mind!" ”
Yuan Yifeng pointed to Yu Zijin and introduced to Mr. Wen: "This is my wife." ”
Mr. Wen bowed and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Mrs., it's really disrespectful." ”
Yuzi was blessed with a blessed body, and said dignified and generous: "Mr. is polite." ”
Several scholars behind Mr. Wen were appreciating calligraphy and paintings, and when they saw Yuan Yifeng coming, they immediately invited him.
Half an hour passed, and Yu Zijin sat under the pavilion with a faint smile and listened to them talk. She has not seen Yuan Yifeng in such a landscape and writing for many years, this person has only been worthy of his natural gas in this mountain, this water, and this jungle, and he can truly let go of his feelings.
"What do you think?"
With his five fingers shaking in front of his eyes, Yu Zijin realized that he had lost his mind, and got up to look at the few scholars who were reluctant to leave because of their admiration for Yuan Yifeng's talent, "It's over?" ”
"Well, it's noon." Yuan Yifeng smiled lightly and helped her straighten her pleated dress.
Mr. Wen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Gongzi Gaocai, I have the honor to discuss it today, which really makes me feel uncomfortable, and several virtuous brothers are reluctant to leave." It's noon now, and I don't know if my son and my wife might come to the humble house for a drink, and it just so happens that my grandfather hasn't seen my son for many years. ”
Yuan Yifeng said with a smile: "Mr. is gracious, then it will be disturbed by Xia and Clumsy Jing." ”
"You're welcome."
With Mr. Wen walking to the stone path in the forest, crossing the stone stream, to a flower valley, is a small courtyard.
In the garden, Yu Zijin admired the exquisitely laid out flowers and plants, took a deep breath of fragrance and said, "This Mr. Wen's grandfather is my old friend?" ”
Yuan Yifeng sat at the stone table and fiddled with the floating leaves in the cup, "Yes, it is indeed your old friend." ”
Mr. Wen's grandfather was none other than Wen Ximo, a writer in Beijing. After sealing the pen, Wen Ximo returned to his hometown Lingtian to recuperate, and now he is nearly 100 years old, with a white beard and even his eyebrows are snow-white, but he is still deaf and bright, with a young face, and is a rare longevity.
Walking with a gray beard and walking with the support of his grandson, Wen Ximo saw that the two of them were not the slightest surprised, "I haven't seen you for many years, but the son and Mrs. can come to the cold house is really glorious!" ”
"I haven't seen you for many years, but Wen Lao is actually Furui's photo, it is really a blessing!" The original leaning on the wind greeted him.
Yu Zijin bowed down to say goodbye, and smiled at Wen Ximo to say hello, Wen Lao, who was in Shangjing back then, could still see black beard and black hair, but now he doesn't want to be like this Three Thousand Snow.
Wen Ximo smiled kindly and waved his hand, and hurriedly instructed his grandson to prepare a meal, sitting aside and talking about the old days with Yuan Yifeng, with a sincere gaze with nearly 100 years of experience.
Yu Zijin watched the flowers and plants in this garden, and suddenly remembered the peerless masterpiece "Knocking on the Smoke and Rain" that she had always been attached to.
"Childe's masterpieces have been treasured to this day, presumably Mrs. has not had the opportunity to see them, I wonder if Mrs. will go with the old man to enjoy them?" seemed to see Yu Zijin's thoughts, and Wen Ximo drank the tea ceremony casually.
What is a living human essence? Yu Zijin understands today, this old gentleman is a living human spirit! His reaction was faster than she thought!
In the heavy snow that year, she traveled in the snow, and met the white beard in front of the seat, which old Furui was still in front of her, and she stayed at home to keep warm on a snowy day, so she went to the north of the city to travel with a bamboo cane. At that time, although she was naughty, she was not so bad as to watch an old man walk with difficulty, and she stepped forward to talk for a moment of brain fever. Unexpectedly, the old man had to say that his jade pendant was hanging on the branches of the pine tree in front of him, and he had to take it off. At that time, where could the simple jade Zijin see an old man climbing a tree, so he volunteered to help him find the jade pendant, so the girl standing with the snow under the fingertips of the snow field green pine became famous in the spring of the second year, and became a new volume of Shangjing national color.
It wasn't until the Tilting Country Building Art Exhibition that Yu Zijin realized that he was fooled by the white-bearded old man, the so-called jade pendant was a disguise, and he wanted to shoot the scene to be true!
Wen Ximo's study, the famous brushes of the past dynasties abound on the wall, although the old man has a reputation in the painting world, but he does not boast, the paintings hanging in the study are all from the pen of others, and the middle of the eye is the "Knocking Xi Smoke and Rain Map".
