Chapter 34 Gift of Medicine (2)
On the day of the Shangshi Festival last year, because of the death of Gonggong Xie and the loss of the appointment with Zhixin, Shu Yan felt sorry for her all the year. He blushed and said very formally: "How come, I have been guilty of this matter for a year, and I, Shu Yan, can give the trust of the world, but I break my promise to you alone?" If I miss the appointment again, I won't have the face to see you in the future. ”
The parting was imminent, but Shu Yan said such unlucky words as 'I won't see you in the future', which added a bit of trouble to Zhixin's sorrow, and tears almost flowed out: "What will I not see in the future?" You just have to go on time, how to say something like that. ”
Shu Yan didn't know what she was thinking, she just said it casually, why was she so excited for some reason?
Shu Yan didn't sleep well this night. The two of them have been intimate since childhood, but as they grow older, they are not as innocent and casual as before when facing Zhixin. How did he not know Zhixin's infatuation with him, but the more he did this, the more he didn't know what to say on a date tomorrow. There is also that Shi Gongzi, every time there is him, he knows that Zhixin has no good impression of Shi De, and Shi De always plays Zhixin, but Shi De's words and demeanor always inadvertently reveal his love for Zhixin, but because of the difference between the scholars, it is impossible for him to get too close to Zhixin, let alone -
Shishu does not intermarry, this is a natural principle.
Although he knew that this was impossible, every time Shi De appeared, it would always fill Shu Yan's heart with some blockages. However, on such a beautiful day tomorrow, how can it not be done? After thinking about it, the sky was already dark, Shu Yan got up early, settled Dr. Shu, freshened up himself, and took out the cyan satin robe made by Zhixin and put it on. This satin robe Shu Yan loves like a treasure, and he is usually reluctant to wear it, but since he wore it once in the first month of last year, he has basically not worn it since. Zhixin expected this, and deliberately made it a little bigger when she made it, so after a year, it doesn't look too small to wear now.
Zhixin also didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning, she thought, she will go to Luoyang tomorrow, when will she talk to Brother Yan? Will he agree? I've never been far away, I don't know what will happen on the road, what will happen when I arrive in Luoyang, it's a great thing to find my father, but what if I can't find it? Should I stay in Luoyang and continue to search? How long do you want to stay? If you can't find it, you won't come back? If I really can't find it, will my aunt die of this heart, or will she be deeply affected and her condition worsen? …… Tossing and turning, the rooster crowed, Zhixin got up, greeted her mother, and dressed up carefully.
It has been sixteen or seven years since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, and after the peace of the world, those who had fled the war and displacement gradually returned to their hometowns and lived and worked in peace and contentment. The more peaceful the world, the more elegant people's leisure and elegance are rising, and this year's Shangsi Festival, there are obviously more people playing by the Ruhe River than last year.
Heaven is as people wish, and God is willing to cheer everyone up. On this day, the wind is light and the sun is exceptionally warm, and this round of spring sun mixed with the slightest breeze brings warmth to the visitors. A bend of the water is rippling, and the two sides of the bank are red and willow green. Butterflies linger among the flowers and plants, and flocks of birds chirp in the branches.
In order to make up for the regret of the last time, Shu Yan came to the Ru River early to wait just after Chenshi, and waited for Zhixin while enjoying the beautiful spring. It seems that women have the habit of being late since ancient times, before getting married, most of them were men and other women, in fact, it was not women who did it on purpose, but they paid too much attention to their appearance, and they had to dress up carefully or even a few times.
In the peaceful years, there are a lot of ladies traveling, groups of women, clusters, wearing red and green, curling Tingting, and the sound of swallows and warblers. The ladies of the wealthy families hugged a group of nursing mothers and maids left and right, and the small jasper families of the common people were accompanied by each other, in groups of three and two.
Shu Yan stood at the place he had agreed the day before yesterday and watched the group of beauties walk past him, although there were many beauties, Shu Yan only regarded them as passing by, and never looked closely. Those beauties turned their heads or looked sideways from time to time, peeking at Shu Yan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sister, look, the young man in the green robe is tall and handsome, his face is as white as jade, his eyes are bright, and the cyan birthmark between his eyebrows is even more heroic."
"A cyan birthmark? I heard that Shu Yan, who killed wild wolves in Shujiazhuang and made filial piety, also has a cyan birthmark, this young man is personable and dignified, isn't it Shu Yan? ”
"Really? It wouldn't be such a coincidence, ......, but if you look closely, it's really beautiful. ”
……
Several girls secretly pointed at Shu Yan not far away. Shu Yan's reputation is already a household name in Ruyin, which he knows, but he doesn't know that there are many girls who have admiration for him.
Shu Yan ignored them and waited for Zhixin. For a long time, facing this full of spring, many beauties casually recited a sentence in the "Book of Songs": "Out of its east gate, the beauty is like a cloud." Although it is like a cloud, I think about it. It means that although the beauty is like a cloud, there is no one I miss.
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone behind me answer: "Silk clothes and scarves, talk about my members." ”
Only that person is the one I miss.
Shu Yan heard Zhixin's voice. As soon as he turned around, Zhixin was standing behind him with a smile. In fact, Zhixin has been here for a while, and she is dazzled by so many beauties in front of her, she secretly hides in the dark to observe Shu Yan and see how Shu Yan reacts in the face of so many beauties. Seeing that Shu Yan didn't squint at the beauty, he was happy, he was really a righteous gentleman. Until Shu Yan recited that poem, it was enough to prove Shu Yan's concentration on himself. She casually took the next sentence, in the face of many young boys, she didn't do the same to Shu Yan.
The two of them walked slowly along the banks of the Ru River, admiring the beautiful spring scenery as they walked. Shu Yan was in a particularly good mood, talking and laughing without a trace of worry. Zhixin has been sullen. In the past, in the face of Shu Yan, Zhixin kept chattering, and Shu Yan was often just a listener. Today's beautiful scenery is what Zhixin has been looking forward to for a long time, it is too rare, but Zhixin hides a trace of sorrow in her heart, afraid of sweeping the interest of the people in front of her, occasionally forcing a smile, most of the time looking at the distant scenery, or looking at the people in front of her blankly.
"Brother Yan...... "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have to tell Brother Yan today, but Zhixin's words came to her lips, and she held it back, thinking, let's talk about it when the game is over, "Come, Brother Yan, come to the river, today is the Shangsi Festival, how can you not use bluegrass to drive away bad luck?" ”
When the two of them came to the river, Zhixin picked a bunch of bluegrass, put it in the clear river water, and then brushed the water-soaked bluegrass over Shu Yan's head. She raised her hand only to find that Shu Yan was already more than half a head taller than herself, Shu Yan's gentle breathing just warmed her forehead, and under her eyes was the Adam's apple that he had just protruded, Zhixin lowered her eyes on her increasingly bulging chest, and slowly blushed. The two were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, grew up together, and the size has always been about the same.
The orchid grass in Zhixin's hand went down the top of Shu Yan's head, gradually soaking all over her body, and while dipping, she silently recited blessings in her mouth: "Happy gentleman, blessed with Suizhi." May the blue grass take away all the diseases, calamities, and any unsatisfactory things of Brother Yan, bring happiness and well-being, and accompany him forever......"
Shu Yan has never believed in this, but it is difficult to be gracious, Zhixin is so good to herself, how can she refuse, she can only enjoy it obediently. After Zhixin's blessing was finished, Shu Yan also picked a bunch of orchid grass, dipped it in the river water, followed Zhixin's appearance, read the blessing in her mouth, and did it to her. When Shu Yan's orchid grass brushed over Zhixin's head, the gentle movements of her sweetheart instantly penetrated Zhixin's whole body with the unique fragrance of orchid. She was like in a dream, motionless, preferring that time would have stopped forever in this moment. It would be nice if time stayed in this moment, so that there would be no difference between not knowing the return date.
"Zhixin!"
Hearing Shu Yan call herself, Zhixin returned to reality from her delusion, and the reality had to be faced, that is, parting was imminent.
Shu Yan didn't know why Zhixin always looked depressed today. He wanted to find a beautiful scenery to make Zhixin happy, and suddenly saw a few newly sprouted weeping willows on the other side of the river, their tender green branches swaying in the wind, and a few small yellow birds chirping happily between the branches. A few dots of golden yellow are embellished in the silk of new green, which is definitely a pleasing picture. He pointed to the scroll and said to Zhixin: "Look at the weeping willows on the other side of the river, how good the fresh green has just been extracted, and how cheerful the birds are!" ”
Zhixin looked at the willow trees on the other side, the weeping willows were really pleasing to the eye, and a smile appeared on her face. She looked at the cheerful birds again, looked at them, and suddenly, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, "Huang Li-Huang Li, even the birds are here to join in the fun, it seems that our parting is doomed." Hey, since it's doomed, it's not a way to drag it out like this, and it's not too early, so it's better to tell Brother Yan. ”
"Brother Yan, give me a bouquet of flowers."
"Okay." As he spoke, Shu Yan put a bouquet of light blue orchids on Zhixin's head, "Orchids are noble and clear, not bewitching, they are gentlemen among flowers, and you are the most suitable to wear them." ”
"Okay, then...... Brother Yan, wait a minute...... I'll send you a bouquet of flowers, too. "Zhixin, don't be kidding, I'm a big man, what kind of flowers do I wear."
Zhixin ignored him, turned around and walked a few steps, picking a bunch of small pink flowers, not so much flowers, but flower bones.
Zhixin stretched out the bouquet of flowers in front of Shu Yan: "This flower is not for you to wear." ”
Shu Yan took a look and smiled unconsciously: "Zhixin, you don't know?" This...... Isn't this a peony? It's still early in this season, the flowers haven't officially bloomed yet, and this flower can't be given away casually, why are you picking it? ”
Zhixin asked knowingly: "You say, why can't this flower be given away casually?" ”
Shu Yan smiled: "Silly girl, peony, also known as Jiang Li, is a flower that was only given when parting. ”
"I know, I just want to say goodbye to you, that's why I gave you this flower!" After Zhixin said this, her heart calmed down a lot.
Shu Yan was stunned: "Farewell? What are you going to do? ”
