Chapter 203: Bridgeside Nursery Rhymes
The candle flame is shining, and the paper-cutting is lonely.
The two are opposite, and one shadow is single.
"Father......
In front of the case, Huan Wen pressed his forehead against his back, and the slightly yellowed window paper reflected the majestic back, like an undulating mountain. Huan Yi closed his eyes and sat behind the desk with his sleeves cageed, the candle flame flickering, lining his face half bright and half dark.
When the candle shadow crawled to the wing of his nose and shook it, as if he felt something, Huan Yi opened his eyes, stared deeply at Huan Wen in front of the case, and his hoarse voice was cold: "Hugh has to say again, the Yuan family of Chenjun is a high-class family, and although my Long Kanghuan clan is honored by the ancestor Rong Gong, but since the ancestor Fan Gong, the county's prestige has been greatly reduced, and it has been reduced to a family of torture for a hundred years." You and I are all sons of the Huan family, we should be ashamed and courageous, and we must not forget the glory of our ancestors because of a temporary hardship. From now on, don't get half a step closer to Yuan's! ”
As soon as the words came out, the room was extremely quiet, the candle shadows crawled around, and the tongue of fire spit out a "hiss" sound.
Half a cup of tea.
"Yes, Father!"
When the candlelight moved on Huan Wen's shoulders and the shoulders hidden in the shadows shook slightly, Huan Wen closed his eyes, the needles under his eyes disappeared with the slowly raised head, the fingers pressed on his knees turned white, but the expression on his face was extremely flat, and his voice was the same: "Father, this matter is over." However, Huating Liu Nong is like a phoenix perched on a sycamore, and there is no treasure and no fall. Therefore, the child thinks that this son must have a plan for staying in Jiankang. ”
At this point, his eyes were far away, and his voice was even lighter: "His people have unique wisdom and thoughtfulness, and his plans must be outstanding, and there are also places where he has to take them." The child weighed left and right, and tried it with words, and should seek a job in the ministry. ”
Huan Yi frowned and said, "What do you want?" ”
"Father, as a scholar of the ministry, should know what he is doing in the future. The child implores the father, regardless of his position, the child is willing to replace! This is the nature of a child, this is the truth of a child, and this is the wish of a child at the moment! Huan Wen raised his hands, put his hands on his eyebrows, and prostrate his head again.
Huan Yi said coldly: "If what he is planning is only a county warden, what is it? ”
"Go!"
"If he wants to go north to die, what if he wants to?"
"Go!"
……
This year's winter came earlier, just after the middle of October, the whole Jiankang City will be cloudy and mist, if you look down from the top, the boxy city seems to be wrapped in a light veil, and then go down, the river is still rippling, the weeping willows are also washed more green by the thick fog, but the corner of the Qingtan in the courtyard is faintly white, throw a stone into it, "flutter, flutter" a light sound, roll to the other end of the other side.
The dew condenses into frost, and the water thickens into ice.
"Plop, plop, plop, ......"
Another pebble floated by, and Yuan Nu was bored pinching the round pebble, fantasizing that this pebble could take her to a certain place, pointing at someone's nose and scolding.
However, it backfired, and the clan uncle returned to the Jin Mausoleum, and left her and Sister A in Jiankang Yuan's Beppu. She is free, but the proud crane is getting busier and busier, every time she has troubled her brother, coaxed her sister, deceived the old servant, and drove the little oxcart to the east of the city to find him with longing, nine times out of ten, what is he busy with?
"Mitsuru, damn ......"
Swinging her fist at the waterhole, a person on the ice immediately waved her fist, and when she looked closely, she was a beautiful little girl, wearing a fallen ponytail, a pink fur, wearing a bandeau skirt of the same color, and a butterfly tattooed in the corner.
Thin eyebrows, thin eyes, small Yao nose.
Holding his chin, he smiled at the people in the pool.
The man smiled at her.
He opened his mouth and whispered: "Mizuru, Mizuru......"
The reflection in the pool also moved slightly.
"Gege ......"
The little girl laughed and trembled, stood up happily, her dark eyes were chaotic, and she made up her mind, the weather is very good, go to Meihe! Just after walking a few steps, I saw two people walking on the corridor in the distance, one was the clan brother Yuan Fangping, and the other was ......
"Gege, Sister ......"
As soon as she saw that person, Yuan Nuzheng couldn't help laughing loudly, and then grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran towards Sister A's embroidery yard, followed by four close maids who were running and shouting: "Little lady, slow down, slow down......."
"Sister, someone is coming...... Someone's coming......"
Empress Yuan knelt under the carved window, tilted her head and copied the book, copying Liu Nong's "Yaqu".
Her handwriting is like a silk show, and the penmanship is Mrs. Wei's hairpin Xiaokai: last year and today, in this door, the peach blossoms on the human face are red, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
When the last stroke was finished, Yuan Nuzheng's voice came through the courtyard, and when she raised her head, she looked over from the window, and saw her little sister flying like a pink butterfly, shouting while running. Empress Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly and shook her head.
Yuan Nuzheng jumped under the window, poked her head and smiled: "Sister, do you know who is here?" ”
"I don't know."
Empress Yuan put the thin pen on the corner of the inkstone, relaxed her body slightly, and her voice was faint. Yu Yu thought to himself: Who else will be, it must be the Yin family man, it turns out that the body of the empress has already been promised, but I don't know......
Thinking, thinking, the thin eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
Yuan Nu lay on the edge of the window, looked at Sister A carefully, felt a pain in her heart, and said softly: "If Sister doesn't like it, why don't you go to him?" Although, that Huan Qixing is too ugly, but ......"
"Hugh is nonsense!"
Empress Yuan snorted, slowly got up with the dwarf case in her hand, nodded her little sister's forehead, and said angrily: "You are still young now, and you will know in two years, what is a family, what is a woman!" The love of the world, if you go to the peach blossoms, the flowers are similar, but the people are different. You and the Xie family are still brothers......"
"Humph!"
Yuan Nuzheng turned around, leaned against the window, looked at the high courtyard wall that covered Qingteng, blinked her eyes, and said loudly: "Sister, let's go to Qingqing!" ”
Empress Yuan said: "Don't go!" ”
Yuan Nuzheng pouted: "It's okay if you don't go, if you don't go, I'll tell my brother, tell my uncle, tell them, Sister often takes Nuzheng out, goes out, travels, goes west, steps east, and goes to Meihe's house......"
"Female ......"
"Gege! Good sister......"
……
In the past ten days, Liu Nong has been really busy and famous, and there are all kinds of invitations every day, often going out day and returning at night. Now we know why Gao Yi hermits are far away from Jiankang and live in the wilderness.
But these elegant socials also have to be, through which you can get to know many celebrities, such as Ruan Fu, the secretary of the ministry, Cai Mo, the waiter of the Chinese book, etc., especially Cai Mo highly respected Liu Nong, and Liu Nong also respected him.
Nowadays, the situation is full of ups and downs, and today he is still a Chinese scholar, and after two or three months, he is not indispensable to the Shangshu Order. If Liu Kui is added to Zhonglang again, Sima Rui's mind is not difficult to guess, it should be swaying and uncertain, and he is in a dilemma!
And when Liu Nong sang to the moon on that day, Ji Zhan took the opportunity to exhibit his "Elegant Taste" to the public, which caused literati and scholars to compete to copy it, and the prince Sima Shao also annotated it, resulting in Jiankang paper being expensive.
As for the appointment of the officials, he has not been pulled down, Ji Zhan is asking for the promotion of the current governor of Xu County, and there will be results in a few days. When the water comes naturally, it enters the snow and returns to Huating.
Everything is very good, Xu Xing Xu Tu, while visiting friends, while waiting for the flowers to return to the court.
There was no invitation today, it was rare to be idle, Liu Nong got up very early, practiced the sword for an hour, and ate three bowls of fine corn porridge, a plate of verdant courgette, and two plates of sauce with Houttuynia cordata. Now is the time when Houttuynia cordata is in full bloom, the roots and leaves are crisp and fresh, accompanied by osmanthus sauce, chewing is extremely sour, and the bowl is put aside with satisfaction, and the corners of the mouth are stained with a trace of cinnamon honey sauce.
"Xiao Langjun ......"
The green pothos was on his side, pinching the silk scarf with his bare hands and quietly probing, seeing that Xiao Langjun did not dodge, he gently wiped the corners of Xiao Langjun's mouth, and saw Xiao Langjun's eyes, and his heart jumped with a "tom", remembering that night, his cheeks were red, but his heart was getting softer and softer. She knew that Xiao Langjun was awake at that time, although it was only a moment, a light, so embarrassing...... What a joy......
At this time, Luo Yu walked into the courtyard in a hurry, and when he reached the bottom of the water steps, he tilted his head to look, slowed down, walked into the room with both hands, and put a letter on the case: "Xiao Langjun, there is a letter!" ”
Could it be that it was another invitation, Liu Nong frowned, and picked up the letter carelessly.
The envelope was not named, nor was it covered with vermilion, and the interior was extracted.
A paper crane!
The head, tail and wings are complete, and the crane head is lit with a little Zhu Qing, which is lifelike.
Half-squinting, slowly dismantling, the paper crane folded simply, but two pieces of paper cut together, with a small note in the middle. Unfold the stick-like note, there is only one line of words in it: Huating a crane, Shanyin a king, the pearl union in the past, and now the common light, the wall is together.
A crane, a king? Why......
Grabbing this small note with no head and tail, Liu Nong groaned for a moment and asked, "Who is the messenger?" ”
Luo Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is, I threw down the letter and left." As he spoke, he glanced at the two paper-cut cranes that had been folded apart, squinted and smiled: "Xiao Langjun, Mo Fei, it's that Langjun who is confused and sick again......"
The corners of Liu Nong's mouth cracked, the person Luo Yu said was Gu Junxiao, Gu Junxiao entered Jiankang on business, coiled for two days, once came to the villa to sit, threw away the lice on the ground and left, which made the pothos and Luo Yu laugh for several days. Pondering: 'This crane, maybe it's really as Luo Yu said, it was deliberately played by that acquaintance and elegant friend. I didn't think about it at the moment, and when I saw Luluo and Luo Yu staring at a paper crane, he smiled and said, "If you like it, one for each person." ”
"Holo ......"
"Thank you, Xiaolangjun......"
Green Pothos and Luo Yu were holding a paper crane and smiled and bent their eyes.
"Xiao Langjun ......" at this time, Laifu strode over, walked to the door and said mysteriously: "There is a guest!" ”
"Who?"
"Little lady Yuan."
"Ah, I'm not here, it's ...... to visit friends" Liu Nong's expression was suddenly stunned, blurted out, and then put the robe in a roll, grabbed it in his hand, strode out of the room, and hurriedly ordered Laifu to set the cow and leave.
Laifu scratched his head, pointed to the outside of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go!" ”
Liu Nongshun pointed to look outside the courtyard, and shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't go.
At the door, there were two maidservants.
On the side of the bridge, two ox carts are parked.
When passing by the maid's side, the two maidservants couldn't help but laugh, Wan Fu.
Slowly crossing the bridge, approaching the ox cart, just about to make a move, the embroidered curtain was lifted, Yuan Nu was poking her head out, and said with a smile: "Meihe, where do you want to go?" ”
"Alas......"
"Gege ......"
Liu Nong sighed silently, the little girl Jun Gege laughed wildly, and Empress Yuan in the other car sighed faintly.
"A crane in Huating, a king in Shanyin, the pearls in the past, and now a total of Hui, the wall is together, the wall is closed, it can not be divided, and the prosperity is the same ......"
Suddenly, a group of children with horns laughed through the bamboo forest, chasing and singing Ge Yao, and the crisp children's voices hovered in the forest...... (To be continued.) )
