Chapter Ninety-Seven: Miss Fan Fu and Letters in the Mountains

The chūn of the Northern Qi Dynasty was coming a little later, but it was coming after all. It is not long to walk out of the capital from the capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom, bypassing the desolate topaz-like West Mountain, and then walking north for a few hours, and then you will come to a green and secluded mountain realm. This mountain is not very tall, but the tall trees and low bushes on the mountain are dense, which is particularly primitive and quiet, and the layers of light or dark green sè are interspersed, which is very beautiful.

Just as the status of the sword house in the hearts of the swordsmen of the world is similar, this green mountain is also an inviolable and lofty holy place in the eyes of the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty or the ascetics who walk in the world. Because this nameless green mountain is where the Dao Gate of the Northern Qi Heaven is located, and the place where the national teacher Kuhe sits and cultivates.

Walking from the rugged mountain road to the quiet valley, you can faintly see the place where ten thousand pine trees gather.

Ten thousand pines, pine needles in shape, the width of the tree is different, some pine needles are soft, like hair strands, some pine needles are angry, hard and piercing, and some pine needles are like a thin round tube, which is particularly interesting. It was early in the morning, and the morning dew was all over the plants in the mountains, and most of the dew slid to the ground after a little moistening of the pine needles, and only those pine trees with dense pine needles would store a depression of crystal dew in their branches and leaves, reflecting the morning light, as clear as a jewel.

Looking into the mountains along these dew shimmers, you can see the buildings of Tianyi Daomen, these buildings inherit the traditional aesthetic style of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, with the blue and black two sè as the mainstay, the black sè is the main slaughter, the green sè is close to nature, standing between heaven and earth, and the majesty is hidden in the Qingmei.

Although the Daomen of Tianyi is not as wide as the Dongyi City Sword House to accept disciples, but the bitter lotus master is cultivating here, which naturally provokes countless pilgrims to come to worship, ten stops, even if the national teacher accepts fewer apprentices, but adult apprentices such as wolf peach always have to accept apprentices, over the decades, the number of people in the Daomen has gradually increased, and now there are more than 100 people who have been practicing and studying in the green mountains for many years.

In the hearts of these disciples, of course, they hope to cultivate in the mountains for many years and go out to Kuang Shiji, just like the fairy in their hearts.

At that time, the begonias of the Holy Maiden of the Northern Qi Dynasty were in this mountain, and these Panasonic trees had been cultivated for many years. Before the begonias bloomed out of the mountain, they planted vegetables in a field on the periphery of those blue and black buildings, and the vegetables they grew were sent to the school in addition to their own consumption. To this day, there are still many disciples who are proud of having eaten the vegetables grown by Begonia themselves.

In this year, Begonia spent most of the time in the distant Qingguo Jiangnan, staying with the same name as Xiao Fan, this fact made the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty angry, especially the students in the green mountains these days, in addition to the negative feelings of jealousy and anger, the most unhappy thing for these students is that it is difficult to see the girl in the garden in flowers, in the past years, as long as you see the figure of the girl, everyone's hearts will be settled.

Not long after Begonia left, another girl's family lived in that field, and at the same time turned the greens in the garden into some medicinal herbs that could be grown.

The identity of this girl's family is very unusual, she is the newly closed disciple of the bitter lotus patriarch, instead of the position of the begonia little teacher, she lived in the garden of the begonia, and collected the rapeseed of the begonia...... She, she, she, she is Fan Xian's sister-in-law.

The disciples of Qingxiu in the mountains were extremely shocked, they did not understand why Master Zu would go to Nanqing to accept female apprentices again, let alone why he wanted to accept Fan Xian's sister as an apprentice, who was Fan Xian? That was Nanqing's leading young minister.

However, things had already happened, and the disciples in the mountains had no way to change anything, so they had to learn to accept it, and it took a long time to get used to Miss Fan's storage.

Nanqing and Northern Qi are old enemies, although they have been in an unprecedented friendly relationship for the past two years, but the feelings rooted in people's hearts are difficult to eliminate, so Fan Ruoruo's initial life in Qingshan is not very smooth, no matter where she goes, she is greeted by hostile eyes and whispers behind her back.

Fortunately, this girl's family doesn't care about these at all, and she is cold, so where will she notice the attitude of other people. After such a few months, Tianyi's disciples found out that this little senior aunt was even more indifferent than their own attitude, and they couldn't help but feel a little bored.

In fact, Fan Ruoruo was very satisfied with her study career in Northern Qi, and the smile on her face was much more than in Kyoto, but the people of Northern Qi did not understand this, after all, they didn't know that this Miss Fan had the nickname of an iceberg talent in Nanqing Kyoto.

Fan Ruoruo's happiness comes from a relaxed environment and a stressful life, Kuhe Guoshi just taught her some introductory Tianyi mental methods, gave a few volumes of scriptures, and didn't care much about her, she spent the rest of her time learning medical skills with the second senior brother, which is also one of the purposes of her going to Northern Qi.

This second senior brother's surname is Mu Mingpeng. The names of the bitter lotus to their apprentices are very interesting, wolf peach, begonia, wood canopy, white ginseng, are the names of some plants, people are as their name, wolf peach is just like the literal feeling, the whole body is full of murderous and edges, begonia is gentle and strong in the wind and rain, wood canopy is a traditional Chinese medicine, you can imagine what the second senior brother who is over forty years old is best at.

............ Fan Ruoruo picked up the leaves, took the dew on the pine leaves next to the courtyard, and poured the water into the drip bottle with a slight tilt, a little curious, why should the dew be used in the prescription?

She walked out of the courtyard with the bottle in her arms and walked up the stone steps up the mountain, ready to study rì. Along the way, you can see some young Tianyi disciples, and when these disciples saw the girl holding the bottle, they all stood sideways and saluted.

On the one hand, it is because she is the little aunt of these people no matter how she speaks, and secondly, in the past few months, the disciples of Tianyi know that although this Miss Fan Fu is cold, she is really kind-hearted and does not hide hypocrisy, which is much better than Fan Xian in the south who has a gentle face and a vicious heart. In particular, this Miss Fan Fu has been going down the mountain for months to see a doctor for the people, which makes these junior disciples deeply respect her virtues.

Fan Ruoruo nodded slightly in return, with no expression on her face.

When she climbed the long stone steps, stood on the top of the mountain, stopped, looked at the lush green forest below the mountain, suddenly stretched her waist, and screamed, her face floated with two post-exercise blushes, a little excited.

She was born with insufficient nutrition since she was a child, although she was conditioned by her brother for a period of time, but there was no improvement at all, in the season in Kyoto, her face was always pale, and now she saw a healthy flush on her face, it is conceivable that she has lived in Beiqi for more than a year, and her body is much better.

The physique is based on the heart, and the main thing is a relaxed relationship.

"You don't have to participate in boring poetry meetings, you don't have to go to the princes' mansions to gossip with those women, you don't have to hide behind the screen to watch men like those sisters, you don't have to be a female celebrity every day, you don't have to be a female celebrity every day......"

Fan Ruoruo looked at the mountain under the stone steps in a daze, and a happy smile appeared on her face, "This kind of life is what I want, thank you, brother." ”

............ In addition to Tianyi's mental practice, the mountain also teaches the righteousness of scriptures, basically using the tutorial that Zhuang Mohan personally revised back then. Fan Ruoruo finished an hour of practice, came to the second senior brother's living room, saluted respectfully, and then asked the second senior brother for guidance on a few difficult questions in medical skills.

Mu Peng said a few words, and suddenly saw the look of peace in the girl's eyes, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Fan has sent a letter again?"

Fan Ruoruo nodded with a smile and said, "Although I haven't come yet, I should have arrived by counting the rìzi." ”

Mu Peng scratched his somewhat unkempt hair, and said with a smile: "So happy, presumably your brother and sister have a very good relationship, in that case, why don't you stay in Nanqing?" ”

Although Mu Peng's status is definitely not as good as that of the old poison in the supervision hospital, whether it is a doctor or a big man who uses drugs, it seems that his hair is a little messy, and his life is a little chaotic, so he naturally can't notice this kind of thing.

Fan Ruoruo smiled and responded: "It doesn't matter where it is, my brother said that people always need to make some sacrifices for the goals they want to live for a lifetime." ”

Mu Peng was surprised and asked, "Oh, what is your goal?"

"Save people. Fan Ruoruo replied calmly.

"It's as simple as that?"

"Yes. ”

"Hmm......" Mu Peng pondered for a moment and then said, "Doctor's parents' heart, but before you came to Northern Qi, you only audited in the Southern Chaotai Hospital for a period of time, why did you have such a big wish?"

"Senior brother, it's not the reason for your wishes, it's about what you want. Fan Ruoruo didn't think about it, and said calmly: "My brother once said a sentence, how should a person's life be spent? The first thing is to make oneself feel comfortable...... Healing and saving people makes me happy, so that's how I choose. ”

How should a person's life be spent? Mu Peng frowned slightly, sighed, and didn't speak again, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of person is the Fan family kid who can make Senior Sister Begonia mess up?

Before the twilight of the ―――――――――――――――――――― day, Fan Ruoruo walked down the stone steps with the empty drip bottle and returned to his small courtyard, carefully taking care of the medicinal materials in the garden. Then she walked back to the silent house and began to prepare paper and pen, the furnishings in the house did not change in the slightest, because she knew that this was the former residence of the begonia girl after all, and it had a different meaning for the people of Northern Qi.

A letter rested quietly on the table, Fan Ruoruo's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, hurriedly opened the letter, carefully looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, in the process of reading the letter, her expression was constantly changing, sometimes nervous, sometimes joyful, sometimes ...... A touch of sadness.

The letter was sent by Fan Xian, and he used a lot of effort to send his sister to the door of the Northern Qi Tianyi, the brother and sister were far apart, and it was quite inconvenient to exchange information, and they each missed each other. So after Ruo Ruo settled, Fan Xian immediately started a monthly letter to his family again.

When he was a child, Ruoruo returned to Kyoto from Shushu at a very young age. Since Ruoruo can read and write, Fan Xian began to correspond with her, relying on the developed postal route of Qingguo, the letters of the two brothers and sisters in Kyoto and Lanzhou rain or shine, one month, never stopped, until the fourth year of Qingli Fan Xian real person into Kyoto.

I don't know how many years the letter has been written.

I don't know how much affection there is in these letters.

In the letter, he talked about the Red Mansion, talked about the house, and told each other about the scenery and characters of the two places. And it was these letters that Fan Xian became one of his sister's teachers in jīng God, and Fan Ruoruo was nurtured by the content of these letters since childhood, and his mood and attitude were similar to those of most women in this world...... No, it's not like the vast majority of people in this world.

She is still filial to her parents, loves her brothers, and gets along very well with her sisters in the boudoir, but there are many different things in her heart, a relative dúlì personality and yearning for zìyóu, which is so incompatible with this world, and she is born but does not live out of this world.

It is precisely because of this contradiction that when she was in Kyoto, she became an iceberg girl who was polite and indifferent and rejected. Only later in front of Fan Xian did she dare to confide her sincerity. So going to a foreign country and living a hard life, this kind of life that is extremely terrifying in the eyes of the aristocratic lady, but it makes her happy and happy.

The origin of this qiē is the letter, which is the letter between Fan Xian and her.

............ Fan Ruoruo looked at the letter paper in a daze, and after a long time, she sighed lightly, her eyes were a little moist. The court battles in Kyoto were still far away from her, and she believed in the abilities of her father and brother, so she didn't care about the dangers written in the letter. Only this time Fan Xian mentioned Hongcheng in the letter.

Hongcheng ...... Fan Ruoruo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the appearance of that gentle prince appeared in his mind, he was going to the west to fight with the Hu people, would he be injured? Will he come back?

Jingwangfu and Fanfu are world friends, Fan Ruoruo also grew up with Li Hongcheng since childhood, she knows that although the other party has great ambitions, but from this xìng is a very rare good person, aside from those romantic things on the flower boat, she is also infatuated with herself. Hongcheng invited himself out of Beijing this time, on the one hand, to get rid of the dispute between the princes of Kyoto, but she knew that this was not a kind of self-exile after she hurt him.

But Fan Ruoruo just can't accept Hongcheng, yes, her exquisite heart that has been dyed by Fan Xian is now even more ...... than Fan Xian herself It is impossible to accept the attitudes of men and women in this world.

Isn't this a ridiculous and funny thing?

Of course, even if there is no romantic tent on those flower boats, even if Hongcheng is a perfect person, Fan Ruoruo still can't accept that he will live with that man all his life.

Just like a certain story that Fan Xian told in his letter back then.

That's all good, good, but ...... I just don't like it.

............ "What story did he write to make you cry?" a lazy, clear voice came from the doorway, "your brother is indeed hateful in some ways. ”

Fan Ruoruo was startled, looked up and saw Miss Begonia standing at the door wearing a thin flower dress, quickly stood up, and said, "It turned out that the senior sister sent a letter, I thought it was someone sent by Lord Wang." ”

Haitang put his hands in his clothes, walked in with a shuffling step, and said, "Wang Qinian is not coming back, Fan Xian didn't say it? Now it's Deng Ziyue in the capital, you should have seen it." ”

Fan Ruoruo nodded.

Haitang smiled and said: "I'm really curious about the content of this letter, which actually made you, who have always been calm, cry." ”

Fan Ruoruo's fingers pinched the letter paper, lowered her head and said, "Senior sister, don't make fun of me, brother...... It's still as wordy as before. ”

Haitang sighed and said, "I have a deep understanding of this. ”

Fan Ruoruo tilted her head slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Senior sister is not in the capital, why did she go back to the mountain?"

Haitang returned to the mountain, of course, it was impossible to send a letter to his sister specifically for Fan Xian. She looked at Fan Ruoruo and said with a smile: "The master received a letter from the second senior brother, thinking that you can already go out of the mountain, let me accompany you to the capital." ”

"Go to the capital?" Fan Ruoruo said in embarrassment: "But there are still a lot of things to learn." ”

"It's just that someone wants to see you, so please let me take you there. Haitang said: "You like life in the mountains, and you will come back when the time comes." ”

"Senior sister, don't you also like life in the mountains?" Fan Ruoruo said with a smile: "I didn't dare to move this house, keep it, and we'll live together when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Begonia fell into silence, and the girl's family sighed after a long time, and said helplessly: "Even if you want to return, where is it a matter of a year or two." ”

Fan Ruoruo knows that Senior Sister Haitang has been secretly doing something with her brother, originally Fan Xian was in the middle to make a bridge, the relationship between her and Haitang has always been good, and she speaks more casually, but every time she thinks of her sister-in-law Lin Wan'er who is far away in Qingguo...... Fan Ruoruo always deliberately keeps a distance from Begonia, which may be the careful thinking of her daughter's family.

She suddenly thought of what she said earlier, and asked curiously, "Go to the capital...... Who wants to see me?"

"陛xià. A smile appeared on the corner of Haitang's lips, thinking that his majesty's mind was as difficult to guess as Fan Xian.

............ In Shangjing City, which is not far from the Qingshan Mountain, where the gate of Tianyi is located, in the Qingmei Palace, which is a mixture of black and green, unique and beautiful in the world, the master of the north of the world, His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom, is sitting on a low couch, with a pair of big feet covered with cloth socks, exuding heat, but his body is crooked in the arms of a palace beauty.

The young emperor sighed and asked the beauty behind him: "Lili, I haven't figured it out...... What did you say we did last summer?"
