Chapter 80: The Embankment
Song Yiren personally sent Xu Changting out of Qingyun Tower, watching the carriage slowly leave, and even disappeared from sight, Song Yiren still stood in place with a smile on his lips.
With Liu Ya'er next to him reminding him a few times, Song Yicai turned around with a smile on the corner of his mouth and walked towards Qingyun Building with Liu Ya'er.
"Peach Blossom Pavilion", although the whole poem has nothing to do with peach blossoms, but especially the last sentence that this peace of mind is my hometown, so that Song Yiren can't help but upturn the corners of his mouth as long as he thinks about it.
I'm afraid that no one doesn't know that the most famous Peach Blossom Pavilion in Danfeng City is the Peach Blossom Pavilion of Qingyun Tower, right?
And if you know the Peach Blossom Pavilion, you must know that the owner of the Peach Blossom Pavilion is none other than her Song Yiren.
Xu Changting's "Peach Blossom Pavilion", although the title of the poem is far-fetched, but the whole poem is not far-fetched, and even in the eyes of Song Yiren, it is no less than the "Water Bamboo Garden Song" sent to Pei Murong.
It was already late for Xu Changting to return home, the parents in the middle courtyard had already rested, and the rooms of the eldest sister and second sister in the backyard were still dimly lit, Xu Changting tried not to disturb them, and quietly returned to his room.
Under the dim oil lamp, Wu Jiangnan was dozing off with his chin in one hand, and with Xu Changting's slight footsteps, Wu Jiangnan blinked his long eyelashes and then slowly got up: "The eldest sister and the second sister came over several times a night, and they kept asking if you came back, what time is it?" Do you want to tell the eldest sister and the second sister? ”
"It's too late, no need." Xu Changting closed the door and said.
Wu Jiangnan nodded silently, and then handed a letter to Xu Changting: "Before dark, Li Chengxin asked Shang Ye to send it, and Miss sent it to you." ”
took the letter with a faint fragrance even on the envelope, and pinched the thickness of the letter inside, which made Xu Changting's heart feel warm, and Li Qingyi's beautiful face couldn't help but appear in his mind.
After washing up under Wu Jiangnan's service, Xu Changting couldn't wait to return to his room with the letter, and Wu Jiangnan's voice sounded behind him: Don't forget to reply to Miss.
Xu Changting, who couldn't wait to open the letter, responded casually, and began to lie on the bed and watch Li Qingyi's handwriting come into view.
Girl's feelings are always poetry, especially at the best age of life, and no matter what era they are in, the lovesickness and affection at the beginning of love are often more pure and holy, and they are more unforgettable.
The beginning of the letter often begins with the expression of lovesickness, and the girl's youthful affection flows through shallow and faint words, including the longing and yearning for meeting again in the future, as well as the helplessness and coquettishness of thousands of miles between the lines.
Xu Changting read very slowly, reluctant to miss even a single word, and even every word had to be chewed over and over again.
The thick letter paper in his hand represents the richness of the content, which makes him feel more down-to-earth and happy in his heart, as if he saw Li Qingyi's beautiful face jumping on the paper, pouting and talking to him, as if through the handwriting in front of them, the two of them have crossed thousands of miles away, and their hearts are hugging each other tightly at this moment.
In the depths of every adult's heart, there will be more or less regrets about the past and if it exists, it will be because of the most beautiful years to miss the most beautiful person, and it will be because of a mishandled thing at the beginning.
Xu Changting, who has been a person for two lives, obviously hopes to be able to live again, try not to leave too many regrets in his life, and to know how to cherish those around him who really care and love him.
In the early morning, as usual, he was playing with the second sister next to the eldest sister and his mother, and from time to time there was a familiar scolding voice from his mother, and Xu Wenrou was dissatisfied because of the eldest sister Xu Changhong.
The sky is still clear, and the white clouds as thick as cotton float quietly in the clear blue sky, making people reverie infinitely, and even willing to look up at the slowly moving white clouds like this.
In the comfortable afternoon, there was still a master and a servant, a fishing rod and a fishing basket, Xu Changting and Wu Jiangnan once again stepped on the small bridge not far from their homes and came to the place where they met Yuan Hong yesterday.
The table and the chair were still in place, and they hadn't been taken away, which made Xu Changting and Wu Jiangnan a little surprised.
After being surprised, while waiting for Yuan Hong, Xu Changting naturally continued his great business of fishing.
The fish hook has not been brought up once since it was put into the river, Xu Changting looked at the water quietly, Wu Jiangnan squatted aside, and the two chatted with each other.
Soon the topic turned to Li Qingyi's letter yesterday, such as some words about taking care of Wu Jiangnan, and when he said it to Wu Jiangnan, he could obviously feel a touch of gratitude on Wu Jiangnan's face.
Wu Jiangnan will also ask some things about Li Qingyi's goodness, and Xu Changting will also say a word, or occasionally knock on the side to take advantage of Wu Jiangnan's inattention, wanting to get more temptations about Li Qingyi's life experience.
But every now and then, Wu Jiangnan was as vigilant as a little hedgehog, and instantly seemed to be covered with piercing thorns all over his body, and looked at Xu Changting vigilantly without speaking.
Xu Changting didn't ask, and while shaking the fishing rod in his hand, he said triumphantly: "Even if you don't say it, it doesn't matter, your young lady may come to Danfeng City next year to come to see me." ”
"Why didn't you go to Miss?" Wu Jiangnan tilted his head and demanded equality between men and women.
Xu Changting shrugged his shoulders unmindingly, and said, "Do you think that my body is bone, even if I want to go, will your young lady be willing?" ”
"And when will you be well?" Wu Jiangnan asked.
Xu Changting sighed and shook his head, and said, "I don't know, the great monk Hui Si said that there may be a way, but it may also be like this for the rest of his life." ”
Wu Jiangnan nodded silently as if she had accepted her fate for her young lady, her slender white fingers unconsciously plucked the grass under her feet, and suddenly said: "You shouldn't have said that about the Buddhist family yesterday, even if the Buddhist family is a small righteousness, but isn't it a great favor to you?" ”
"So what?" Xu Changting finally lifted the fishing rod, but he didn't expect anything.
Wu Jiangnan immediately handed a small wooden box to Xu Changting, which contained several earthworms dug up from the back garden at noon today, and Xu Changting took out a one and carefully hung it on the fish hook.
"Is the Great Monk Hui Si your master?" Wu Jiangnan said curiously.
Xu Changting took a long breath, threw the fish hook into the water, looked up at the cloud that was passing overhead, and thought for a while: "It's okay, but strictly speaking, it's still nominal." ”
"Ugh......." Wu Jiangnan sighed unconsciously, which made Xu Changting a little strange.
Facing Xu Changting's strange gaze at her, Wu Jiangnan frowned and said: "If that uncle is really a very powerful person, if you really listen to your dissatisfaction with the Buddhist family, if it is not good for the Buddhist family, you are afraid that you will also carry a bad reputation, maybe people will say that you are ungrateful." ”
"But do you think what I'm saying makes sense? If the Buddhist family goes on like this for a long time, not only will it not be beneficial to the dynasty and society, especially with the worship of Buddha from the royal family to the common people, will one day their Buddhist family finally reap the consequences? The monks pay attention to birth, away from the red world, but now if you look at the monks in various temples, or the entire Buddhist family, one foot has completely stepped into the world of the red world, yellow and white things. Xu Changting looked at Wu Jiangnan who was frowning and said.
Wu Jiangnan sniffed and threw the grass in his hand hard at the river: "I don't know much about these things, but if you tell Miss, Miss will definitely understand and tell you...... True or not. ”
Xu Changting nodded, looking at the sparkling river, some of the old ones sighed again, and said with a trace of worry between his eyebrows: "Buddhism pays attention to staying away from the red dust and jumping out of the Three Realms. To put it bluntly, they don't understand the concept of the Qi family ruling the country and leveling the world. Because they only care about believers and incense. ”
Wu Jiangnan next to him didn't know if he heard Xu Changting say this, anyway, he was squatting aside, and he didn't know when there was a small branch in his hand, gently paddling back and forth on the surface of the river.
The sound of a carriage sounded behind them, and the two of them looked back at the embankment almost at the same time, only to see a carriage slowly approaching this way.
Xu Changting involuntarily looked up at the sun, and said with a smile: "This uncle is quite punctual, he said it was almost this hour yesterday, and he really came over at this hour today." ”
"Didn't we come here at this hour?" Wu Jiangnan first dragged Xu Changting's arm, and then helped Xu Changting's shoulder to get up, so she pressed Xu Changting's shoulder with force, so that Xu Changting sat on the ground.
muttered dissatisfiedly, is this the politeness that a maid should have?
Then Xu Changting resigned himself to putting down the fishing rod and got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked to the carriage with Wu Jiangnan.
First, a beautiful lady stepped out of the carriage, and then Yuan Hong followed out of the carriage, and saw Xu Changting and Wu Jiangnan standing in front of the two of them, and the first thing he said was exactly the same as what Xu Changting just said: "Is this early in the morning, or is it also pinching the time to come?" ”
"It's been a while, and I've caught several fish." Xu Changting opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Wu Jiangnan rolled her eyes speechlessly, she couldn't understand it, Xu Changting didn't have a lot of competitiveness in other aspects, but for some reason, when it came to fishing, he was extremely competitive.
In the past few days, she has really felt this, just like yesterday, and finally asked Aunt Liang to buy a lot of fish and come back, as the fish caught by his eldest son Xu.
"Really? I'll see how big the fish is. Yuan Hong also pointed to the fish basket not far away and asked.
In the face of Yuan Hong's inspection and the distrust on his face, Xu Changting did not change his face, pointed to Wu Jiangnan, and said without words: "She accidentally knocked over the fish basket just now, and then the fish ran away again." ”
ps: There is something to do in the past few days, and it has been delayed, and it is estimated that few people will read this book, so I have not asked for leave.
