Chapter Eighty-Six: A Sip of Wine
Liking a thing is actually the same as liking a person, many times we can't say why, and in the end, most of the words blurted out are still like, but the meaning is very different. Those who understand will understand it as soon as they hear it, and those who don't understand it will be difficult to empathize no matter how much they think.
Shen Jing and Jiang Ning looked at the scene in front of them, and each shook their heads with a smile. Shen Guo smiled at the temperament of Wenjiu, and Jiang Ning smiled at the old and young people who walked side by side, but there was no sense of disobedience.
————
After going around in a big circle, he finally returned to Tingxiangyuan, and Shen felt very good. It was still Jiang Ning's small courtyard, and as soon as the group walked in, a sensible maid and servant came over.
The rest of the people did not follow into the small courtyard, and there was no warm wine, only Shen Guo Jiang Ning, Han Zhongjing and the little maid Chen'er. Jiang Ning instructed Chen'er to grab the medicine and boil according to Han Zhongjing's request, and he and Shen Guo said goodbye and went up to the small building alone.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Shen Jing's long-hanging heart finally relaxed, but this made the pain on his body a little worse. He grinned into the room, and Han Zhongjing followed closely behind and closed the door.
Without too many words, Han Zhongjing was not even curious about his contact with Louwailou. The two sat cross-legged on the bed one after the other, and Han Zhongjing's first step was to help Shen Guan treat his injured internal organs, which was a meticulous job, so Han Zhongjing did not pretend to be someone else's hand, and he had been focused since the treatment began, and he did not say anything.
Shen Kuang's injuries were not light, and the battle with Zhao Fucheng was so good that he won lightly, so he didn't suffer any injuries. But the battle with the black sword servant made him suffer a lot, and even many times he had to exchange injuries for injuries to be able to breathe, and the sword that finally established the victory squeezed out the only remaining true qi in his body, how bitter.
He had been practicing the sword since he learned it at an early age. Heaven and Earth One Sword, in fact, this style of swordsmanship itself does not have an accurate name, the master never said it, and it was only later that Shen Kuang knew that this was the final style of the Seven Star Sword Technique. The sword of heaven and earth emphasizes sword intent, and the sword intent that everyone understands is very different, so there is no traditional formula.
In the past, when the master taught him this set of swordsmanship, he also said that the practice of this sword should not be rote memorization, only focusing on the shape of the sword and ignoring the true meaning.
At that time, Shen Kuang didn't understand these things at all, he just practiced swords stereologically, but he didn't really like it. So at that time, his sword had no sword intent. It wasn't until later that he slowly fell in love with sword practice, liked the feeling of holding white mud in his hands, and preferred the chivalrous rivers and lakes in the mouth of the old storyteller in the Goolan teahouse.
The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, the master also said the same thing.
If we want to really use the true power of this sword, we need to be clear about what we are holding it for. So later, Shen Jing's sword changed, and he slowly appreciated that layer of ethereal sword intent.
His sword does not pursue domineering and incomparably more killing power, nor does it need to be as fast as a thousand miles to take people's heads.
Shen Guo likes stability, stability, and only pursues stability. Conform to your own will, so it will not be wrong to make a sword, and this is what Shen Guo is pursuing. In the battle with the black sword servant, he was unconvinced, and he didn't admit defeat, of course, it was more about saving his life, he swung out the sword, which gathered all the emotions in his heart together, and then handed out a sword.
Shen Kuang won, which also proves that his sword is right at least in his own hands. It's just that Shen Guo feels that he can do better, and his sword can be more powerful.
Shen felt the true air flow constantly injected into his body, warm and comfortable. Where the true air flow passed, the injuries he had suffered from the previous battle with the Black Sword Servant were constantly dissolving and melting, and his frowning brows were also soothed.
However, he actually had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but he never said them. Han Zhongjing had already guessed that Shen Guo would have many questions, but he didn't mention it at all.
After a long time, Han Zhongjing, who had been treated for most of the time, sighed and said slowly: "I know that you kid has a lot of questions to ask, of course, I can tell you, but you have to be clear about where you can accept it at the moment." What I told you about your life story before is just a general feeling, just so that you know the cause and effect, but there are many things I haven't told you. I think it's the same with your master, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but telling you the whole picture at the moment and then letting you make your own decisions is not helping you but hurting you. There are also things about your Uncle Zhu, the butcher Zhu Tan, there are a lot of things involved, you can ask him yourself in the future, as for whether he says it or not, that's his business. ”
Shen Jing listened to Han Zhongjing's words and thought a lot.
After a while, he took a deep breath, calmed down and replied, "Before the master left, he told me in a letter that he wanted me to wait until I arrived at the Grandmaster realm to dig deeper into those things back then. I've always thought so, but this series of things is so many and complicated that I was a little overwhelmed for a while. ”
Han Zhongjing listened to the young man's heartfelt words and comforted, "Your master is right. The incident in the East China Sea back then was complicated and involved many people and things. On the surface, it seems that it is just the secret behind the imperial court coveting your five major families in the East China Sea, but in fact, there are many, many things that others don't know, such as the Qizhou Gao clan back then. The Gao clan of Qizhou became bigger little by little in the land of Qilu, and the Great Wei court naturally did not want to see such a situation, but at that time, it coincided with the continuous friction between the Great Wei and the Southern Liang on the border, and even the Southern Liang later had a large-scale Northern Expedition. Therefore, at that time, the Great Wei royal family did not want to see chaos in the east of the empire, nor did they want to watch the Gao clan of Qizhou become bigger, so they pointed the finger at the five major families in the East China Sea who were friendly with the Gao family. Your five major families are Jianghu families, so the imperial court can use the style of Jianghu to deal with it, so as to achieve his goal of knocking on mountains and shaking tigers. Moreover, Qizhou Gao's is only one of the lines, and the complexity cannot be finished for a while. ”
Han Zhongjing said a lot in one go, and Shen Jing chewed carefully. He didn't know much about what happened back then, and although what Han Zhongjing said at the moment only made the vague picture in his mind a little clearer, it was still far from the level of seeing the situation clearly.
After a while, without hearing Shen Guo speak, Han Zhongjing said again: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, it's too much, you can grasp the extent to which you should ask." ”
Shen Jing nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then stretched his eyebrows, as if he was much more relaxed. He looked at Han Zhongjing and asked with a chuckle, "Uncle Shi, can you tell me something about the Shen family back then?" In addition to my parents, who are the other relatives in the family? ”
Han Zhongjing was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Shen Jing, who had been thinking about it for a long time, would end up with a small problem that was just a short matter among these parents. He thought for a moment, then told everything he knew.
"Your Shen family, back then, was also a big family with a name and a surname on the rivers and lakes. Your father, Shen Jiusi, is even known as a kendo wizard and is in charge of the Shen family's Phantom Tooth Sword. At that time, your father was already a sixth-level grand master, and he was very tight. You may not know this realm, but you just need to know that it is very powerful. ”
"Are you more powerful than Uncle Han?" Shen Guo asked.
Han Zhongjing replied with a smile: "It's much more powerful than me." ”
At this time, the injuries in Shen's internal organs had gradually improved a lot, and the next step was to recuperate and repair the medicinal herbs a little bit. So Han Zhongjing collected his true anger, got out of bed and sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it himself.
Shen Jing also dragged his body a lot better and sat opposite Han Zhongjing, he was still a little weak, but the pain in his body had disappeared a lot, so he was also a lot easier.
Shen Kuang also poured himself a cup of tea, and while pouring the water, he asked again, "What about my mother?" What kind of person is she? ”
"Your mother, her name is Yuan Xun, and she is a gentle and virtuous woman."
Speaking of Shen Jing's mother, Han Zhongjing glanced at Shen Jing a few more times for no reason, as if he was struggling with something, but soon he still spoke: "Actually, your mother has another name." ”
"Is it a name like my predecessor and my master?"
Han Zhongjing shook his head and said, "She is actually still the princess of Pingyao of our Great Wei. ”
After saying this, Han Zhongjing deliberately looked at Shen Qian, who lowered his eyelids and was thinking. Shen Jing's mood fluctuations are not big, only the sometimes hesitant and sometimes soothing expressions on his face are telling something, but they are all very subtle mood fluctuations, and I can't see anything.
"Accident?"
Shen Jing nodded and said, "A little." ”
Han Zhongjing knew that he still had something to say, so he didn't interrupt.
"I've lived in Red Mud Lane for 20 years, and although I'm very old now, those uncles and aunts are still willing to treat me as a child, in fact, I think so in my heart, I'm only 20 years old, not big. I used to live in an alley, and I felt that the world was so big, and the largest was as big as our Meiwu City, and it couldn't be bigger. So, at that time, I saw and heard very little and thought very little. Later, as I grew up, I saw more and more people, and even saw people from the Western Regions in Autumn Fall City, and at that time I suddenly felt as if the world had suddenly become bigger, but I was just a sword boy in the red mud alley of Meiwu City. It's not too much of a surprise, because the book once said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so I know that the world will be big, and the most I feel curious and interesting. ”
"All my changes came from that trip to Yunmeng Mountain, the master asked me to ask for a kiss, although I was a little reluctant and didn't understand, but I still knew in my heart that the master would not harm me. Then, slowly, everything changed. I met Dugu Nanqiao and Senior Sister Ciyin of Yunmengshan, Jiang Ning, Yu Wenyuan, Uncle Han, you and Shi Yu, and many people in the rivers and lakes. You are no longer confined to a small Plum Mist City, your world is so big, so big that I have never seen it. The first time I knew my life experience, I was actually not sad at all, and then I met Su Yao again, and our reactions to the same thing were completely different. Although I don't have those empathies, it doesn't mean that I don't feel them at all. Ever since I learned about my background, I have felt a lot of pressure on my body, which is not heavy but requires me to be distracted to deal with it. Actually, when I think about it, everything is the same, it's just a little more about myself. I don't have much of an impression of my father and mother, so in my eyes, they are just my father and mother, and they have no other identity, whether they are princesses or ordinary people, they are just my father and mother. I didn't tell anyone about that, but I unconsciously wanted to say it when I talked to you today, Uncle Shi. ”
This is the first time Han Zhongjing has heard Shen Guo say these big words, although he is a stinky boy on his lips, but he has no less care for Shen Qian, otherwise he would not have rushed here from Qiuluo City.
Han Zhongjing looked at Shen Jing and seemed to feel that the young man in front of him had grown up all of a sudden. He still wanted to play tricks on Shen and ask him why his mother was a princess, but the court was still unwilling to let go of the Shen family. But after listening to his words, he put away all the questions that he wouldn't say even if Shen Guo asked him.
He looked at Shen Jing and said, "It's okay to say it, it's nothing to always pretend to be in your heart." You, don't think about how difficult everything is, don't take all this as a burden, what to do and what not to do, what you want to do and what you don't want to do, the choice will not be wrong, the people are gone, you just take good care of yourself. If one day, when you have the ability, for example, when you reach the height of your master, or even higher than him, it should be easier to think about it. In short, one step at a time, there is nothing to be afraid of, you just treat these things as a burden on your journey, and throw them down a little when you get to a place, and slowly it will be lighter. ”
Han Zhongjing, who felt that the tea was bland and tasteless, did not continue to drink tea, but drank the wine in his gourd. After taking a sip, he wiped his mouth, and then looked at the wine jug in his hand to Shen Jing, and said with a smile: "Do you want to drink two sips, this is a good thing?" ”
Shen Guan looked at the wine jug, thought about it for a while, and took it, and raised his head to take a sip without saying a word.
The wine was very astringent and spicy, and Shen Guo didn't understand why Uncle Han liked to drink. One bite of the stomach, Shen Jing frowned. However, after a period of discomfort, Shen suddenly felt that his body was light and fluttering, and he felt good. It's this wine, which is much worse than the Fu Yuchun he and Jiang Ning drank last time, so Shen Jing stopped drinking it after taking a sip.
"What, don't you like my wine?"
Shen Guo thought for a moment, and then nodded: "It's far worse than that floating jade spring!" ”
"Yo, it seems that your kid is quite awkward! Drink here? Han Zhongjing asked.
Shen Guo nodded.
"Ao, I remember, you are now the uncle of the Jiang family outside their building, and your identity is different! Then it should be no problem for me to bring two pots of floating jade spring when I leave in a while! ”
Hearing Han Zhongjing talk about this, Shen Guo had a little headache. patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Han, this is just a deal I made with Jiang Ning, it can't be real." ”
Hearing this, Han Zhongjing glanced at Shen Jing suspiciously, and asked, "Could it be that your kid has some handle on her?" ”
Saying that, some of them didn't work, and they denied themselves by talking to themselves. "It's not like ah, what secrets can you kid have. Could it be that girl really has a crush on you? ”
didn't care about Han Zhongjing's last sentence, Shen Jing whispered: "It's not a handle, it's just that she knows my true identity." ”
Shen Kuang deliberately lowered his voice because he was afraid that the wall would have ears, but Han Zhongjing didn't seem surprised by this, he patted Shen Kuang's shoulder with a smile and said, "It's not surprising that the building outside the building can find out, and I don't mean to hurt you when I think that Jiang girl wants to harm you." I think people might really mean something to you, hold on to it, stinky boy! ”
"Uncle Shi, don't laugh at me."
"What are you doing with jokes, if you really become their Jiang family's aunt in the future, then my small restaurant doesn't need to be opened, you just give me 180,000 taels of silver, and I'll be a rich man with nothing to do, hahaha, I'll be happy when I think about it."
After going through the addiction, Han Zhongjing changed his tone and said again: "What do you want to do so much, I can see that girl really doesn't want to harm you." As for whether I really like you, that's what I'm talking about. I can guess a thing or two about her purpose, but it's not a bad thing. If you do well in the future, you will also lose a great opportunity for yourself to grasp it. ”
After having so much contact with Jiang Ning, Shen Jing naturally had a plan in his heart, so he nodded in response.
"Okay, I've almost controlled your injuries, and the rest is a decoction or something to slowly recuperate. The Lou family outside the building has a big business, and you don't miss that little bit of medicinal materials, so you can stay here for the next two days to recuperate! ”
"Uncle Shi, although they are not short of this money, but I use the medicinal materials, and I still have to give the money that should be given."
"You have money?" Han Zhongjing glanced at Shen Jing and said.
"Nope!"
"That's it, you can tell the ginger girl about it yourself, let's go."
After speaking, Han Zhongjing left Shen Jing's room without looking back, and when he left, he was still muttering about Fu Yuchun in his mouth, smiling happily. Shen could guess what purpose he was fighting in his heart, but he didn't care.
