Chapter 422: Nine Rake Trees
With the permission of his mother Ba Yongqiu, he could go to the Zheng clan to pay tribute to his friend Zheng Lihua, and said to a few maids: "You, if anyone is willing to ask the little master to help write a sacrificial text, he will ask for it tomorrow." "Little Master" refers to Yu Han, the son of Yu Chang, the literary and historical official of Hu'an Palace.
The maid replied, "I'll go!" and turned and trotted out.
Looking at Ruyi's back, suddenly, Pu Xuemei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ruyan felt weird and said, "Sister Xuemei, what are you laughing at suddenly?"
Pu Xuemei lowered her voice and said, "I can tell you, but don't make fun of it." ”
"Sister Xuemei, what's the matter, so mysterious? Ruyan thought that Pu Xuemei had caused some joke and replied.
Pu Xuemei looked at the door, and said mysteriously: "Tonight, Madame said that she was sleepy and slept earlier than usual, so I wanted to come and talk to you for a while." Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that my wife said that there was no need to send tomorrow's morning meal, and Yulan asked someone to come in on her behalf, and she sent delicious food early in the morning.
So, I remembered to go to the room and say something. When I arrived at the room, I saw that the door of the big room was closed, so I pushed the door in, and when I entered the second door, there was no one inside, and I shouted, but no one answered. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange voice from a room. Oops, I'm not going to say it!"
Ruyan said angrily: "You leave half of it, if you want to say it, you can say it thoroughly, so as not to make us think about it for a long time." ”
When I heard the voice, I knew it was doing that kind of thing, and I was taken aback, and I hurriedly turned and ran. Park Xuemei said.
Ruyan understood, and his face turned red when he said this.
"Then I came to you, and as soon as I arrived at the gate of the garden, I saw Ru Pasta and Red Ears coming to the door from the shortest road, and almost hit me. When she saw me, her expression was very strange, and she didn't say hello to me, so she rushed into the park. There is **, and she is the one in the room. ”
Dreaming, like smoke, eyes wide open.
After all, Pu Xuemei is from the past, not so shy, and said: "She doesn't know, if I have such a loud voice, I'd rather never do it, and I'm ashamed to die." ”
Ruyan couldn't help but want to laugh.
The maid Ling, who was only thirteen years old, said, "Sister Xuemei, what's the voice?"
Pu Xuemei couldn't help laughing and shouted, "Ring the bell!"
Poria knew that she had asked the wrong word, so she bowed her head and remained silent.
Yu Meng said: "In the past two years, Ruyi has also grown up. Who's that man?"
Pu Xuemei smiled lightly: "You can think of asking this, I turned around and ran, and I didn't look at it." ”
This time, Yu Mengyu also laughed, and Ruyan laughed out loud.
Ruyan said: "That man, I guessed who it was." ”
Pu Xuemei said: "Who could it be?"
Such as a flue: "Most of them are tigers and fears." After I came back from the Zangdu Mountain, Ruyi followed me, and I saw the person several times to come to inspect under the pretext of being on the pretext, but in fact I came to see Ruyi. Recently, I have seen him and Ruyi, eyebrows and eyebrows. ”
Pu Xuemei and Yu Mengyu all let out an "oh".
Ruyan said again: "Chu Wei, and that Zheng Cong, I think it's a little obsessed." ”
Pu Xuemei said with a smile: "I don't dare to say it, but Zheng Cong is a righteous person." I think he's ...... you."
Ruyan interrupted Pu Xuemei and said, "It's about a lack of mouth, but you are talking nonsense, how is it different from a lack of mouth?"
Pu Xuemei said: "That's it, I can't talk about you." ”
The little maid Poria has been serving beside her, listening to the three of her talking, she didn't dare to interject too much, and at this time she couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! I thought you were joking, it turns out that it's really the one who lacks a mouth!" The tiger warrior Chu Wei (Chi Wuxing) has a little rabbit lips, so the women in the Hu'an Palace shouted that he lacked a mouth behind his back.
Yu Mengyu said: "If she did this kind of indecent thing, if she hadn't been driven by me before, someone would have driven her out of Hu'an Palace." Now, we should never know. ”
Pu Xuemei said: "Of course. However, you should still find an opportunity to talk about her, so that your belly will not be cocked at that time, and it will be a big trouble. ”
"If I talk to her, won't she understand that we all know?"
Pu Xuemei was puzzled: "This is also true." However, it is impossible to report to Madame and let Madame talk about her, right?"
Ruyan said: "If you don't want people to know, unless you can't do it, I'll find an opportunity to remind her." ”
Several women were discussing how to remind Ruyi to check her behavior, and when they heard Ruyi "cough" at the gate of the garden, they knew that she was back, and the three of them turned off their mouths.
Ruyi took a letter written in bamboo slips and came back.
Ruyan took it, looked at it, and said, "It's really a wave, so fast." ”
Pu Xuemei said: "It's better to ask the little master to go with us." I knew he would want to go, but he didn't dare to go. ”
Dreaming, like smoke, nodded their heads.
Pu Xuemei said: "Ruyi, please go for another trip, please join us tomorrow to sacrifice the pear blossoms." ”
Ruyi turned around and ran away again.
After a while, Ruyi trotted back and said, "The little master said that he is busy tomorrow and it is inconvenient to accompany him, thank you very much." ”
Yu Mengyu said: "It seems that Master Xiao Yu wants to sacrifice pear blossoms alone, so don't worry about him." ”
Ruyan said: "The little master is not going, go and ask Sister Yulan to go with her, she is definitely willing." ”
Pu Xuemei said: "She doesn't need to be invited, she will go together." ”
At dawn the next day, Meng Mengyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, Yu Yulan and others braved the snow to take a sedan chair to the Zheng clan of Liangheba to pay tribute to Zheng Lihua, the former maid of the Hu'an Palace's wife Ba Yongqiu, and the Tho Manzi led a team of samurai to escort them.
When they arrived at the tomb of the Zheng clan, it was already noon, and when they saw Zheng Lihua's new grave, the women shed tears one by one.
After the sacrifice, the sisters couldn't bear to leave, and Yu Yulan said: "It's better for our sisters to plant a tree in front of Sister Lihua's grave, and accompany her here at that time." ”
"This idea is absolutely unacceptable. A pear tree should be planted. ”
Yu Yulan said: "Mother is Zheng's daughter, I often come to Zheng's, pear trees are mostly around Zheng's village, here within a few miles, it should be difficult to find pear trees." ”
Pu Xuemei said: "In this winter, I'm afraid it's rare to plant live trees. It's better to find a good little water green bar tree nearby, even with mud and roots, like a potted plant to move over, one is easy to survive, and the other is that the water green bar tree has a very long lifespan. That's the best way to do it. Everyone, sooner or later, is going to die, let it accompany Pear Blossom forever. ”
Ruyan and Dream Whisper both think that this method is the most appropriate.
So, with the help of the accompanying tigers, several women made great efforts to transplant a sapling of water green bars in front of Zheng Lihua's grave.
After the event, the group returned to Hu'an Palace without much mention.
However, it is said that Yu Han, the son of the cultural and historical official of Hu'an Palace, Yu Han, since Zheng Lihua's fragrance disappeared, he was in pain and couldn't forgive himself, and he had always wanted to pay tribute to Zheng Lihua, but because he was directly related to Zheng Lihua's sudden death (see Chapter 401 of this book "The Way of Happiness to Die"), Zheng's people even regarded themselves as the murderers who killed Zheng Lihua, afraid of gossip, and inconvenient.
On the second day when Yu Mengyu and others went to the Zheng clan, Yu Han found an excuse from his father Yu Chang and came to the grave of Zheng Lihua in the tomb of the Zheng clan alone, burning incense and hanging himself.
Looking at Zheng Lihua's grave, Yu Han was full of thoughts, remembering that in the middle of the night on the day of the accident, Zheng Lihua's wife Ba Yongqiu fell asleep, quietly went out of Wenxiang Garden, and brought the wife of Ba Yuan'an, the sixth prince of Ba Guo, to specially send people to the exquisite food sent by Mrs. Hu'an Palace, and came to Yu Han's office room and asked Yu Han to taste it. There is such a good thing, except for the master of Hu'an Palace, Yu Han is almost the only outsider. While tasting the food, the two little lovers whispered and chatted, and couldn't help but ......
At this moment, Yu Han secretly thought: "If I can die happily and be content like you, I am probably destined to bear this pain, just like the final fate of Hu'an Mountain is for the historian to recount, you have become the most painful history book I wrote with blood." ”
The best sacrifice, Yu Han choked and recited the sacrificial words:
Woohoo Lijun, unfortunately died!
Once you return to your dreams, won't people hurt?
My heart hurts, and I drink a lot;
Knowing that you have a soul, enjoy my steaming!
Hanging gentleman's character, bone jade skin cream,
Hanging gentleman's demeanor, plain and clean Yafang,
Hanging gentleman, beautiful and fragrant;
Hanging Junwaner, the spring breeze is rippling
.........
I want you to stay in the study last year.
Crying Jun died early, and his liver and intestines were broken.
From now on, cowards, even more sonorous!
Woohoo hurt!
The past, right in front of me, the strong and hidden first love died out, and Yu Han couldn't cry silently, independent of the cold wind and snow for a long time.
If you don't go back, you're about to touch the road, Yu Han stroked the newly planted sapling in front of the grave, and thought secretly: "This little tree must have been transplanted by my sister, Mengyu, Ruyan, Xuemei and others yesterday." The Si people have gone, what will happen to the daughters of Hu'anshan?"
Yu Han's tears couldn't stop flowing again, dripping like threads on the new soil at the root of the water green bar.
Later, ————, the population began to be dense, and the location of the tomb of the Zheng clan gradually occupied by people, and a group of Luo people moved into this place, and took great care of this tree, which was regarded as the feng shui of the town house, so it was also called "feng shui tree".
Today, more than 2,300 years later, the tree is still lush and green, and some say that it may have been watered by the tears of Yu Han.
So far, this tree grows vigorously in a local village, compared to that year, it has grown hundreds of times, the main trunk is about 9 people around the thick, so some people call it "nine hug tree", also known as "nine rake tree", the local people regard it as a sacred tree.
When someone travels far away, his relatives pray sincerely under the tree, and at the same time carry a handful of loess from his hometown and the leaves of this ancient tree in his bag, which is said to bless his safety.
To this day, during the New Year's holidays, people often go to this tree to burn incense and worship to pray for the safety and happiness of their families, and the legend is extremely effective.
These, for another time.
After paying tribute to Zheng Lihua, Yu Han had just returned home and heard his father Yu Chang say a news that not only made him unbelievable, but also made everyone unbelievable.
Yu Han couldn't believe his ears for a while, and asked his father twice before he dared to make sure that his father was not insane.
