As soon as he left the city gate, he saw a man walking in front of him, and it was Gamodhu. Because what Gamodu did had a serious adverse impact on Ruyin's resistance to the Xiongnu, Shu Yan once hated him very much. But now that the Huns have retreated, and he has also retired from officialdom, everything is light, and he is naturally relieved.

"Where are the Shamen Dao people going?"

Seeing that it was Shu Yan and Ruoxin, Gamo Du was slightly embarrassed, and then quickly regained his composure: "The poor monk plans to go south." ”

"Nandu? Do you have to go to Jiangnan to find your old benefactor? ”

"It's best to find Shi Gongzi. However, Buddhism is universal to all sentient beings, and it does not have to be limited to Shi Gongzi. ”

"Missionaries rely on one mouth, you still have some connections here, but if you don't know the place in Jiangnan, isn't it even more difficult?"

"Jiangnan lacks education than the Central Plains, and most of the well-dressed nobles in the north have crossed to the south, blending north and south, and the local and overseas Chinese are mixed. The northerners should find their own ways to take root, and they are more homesick; The southerners must guard against the northerners seizing their original position and advantages, causing panic and unrest. In addition, there is a threat from the Huns, regardless of the southerners and northerners, all people are panicked and cannot live in peace. ”

This bald way is really persistent, and in order to spread Buddhism into Middle-earth, even the social situation and even the mind are thoroughly figured out.

"Huh." Shu Yan smiled, "It seems that you are not satisfied with the communication in the Central Plains, and you still have to develop Jiangnan." ”

"That's nature, I, Buddha, purify all sentient beings, and I must let Buddhism blossom everywhere in China."

Gamodhu originally thought that Shu Yan would definitely refute himself as before, but today he found that he was very calm. Seeing that he and Ruoxin were both dressed in civilian clothes, and immediately carried the luggage package, they were very puzzled and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home."

"It's just a break, once in five, as for the back and forth of such a large luggage package?"

"Who are we?"

"It's not a year, it's not a holiday, what is it?"

"Resign and go home."

"Resigned?" Gamo Du was surprised, "You have gone through the hardships of life and death, and finally retreated from the Xiongnu, and you are the master of the whole county, and you should enjoy the joy of being an official, why did you resign from the official?" ”

Shu Yan smiled faintly, didn't answer, tugged on the reins, and led the horse forward.

Gamo Du has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and the officials he has come into contact with are all greedy for pleasure and even fish and flesh, and people like Shu Yan who can only work hard and not enjoy themselves, and are unwilling to surrender and change their temperament are really rare. He was stunned on the ground, and said loudly to Shu Yan's gradually distant figure: "My Buddha is merciful, but unfortunately I can only help people get rid of their demons, but they can't help the people get rid of the suffering of the army." But please rest assured Mr. Shu, the Huns are brutal and will not last long. Good, good, Polo revealed! ”

Shu Yan and Ruoxin walked easily, without resting, and soon arrived at Shujiazhuang. was just about to enter the village, but saw a woman running out of the village in a hurry, it was Ruan Shui.

Ruan Shui saw that it was Ruoxin and Shu Yan, and hurriedly said, "My brother secretly went back to the south. ”

Ruan Shan has always had the idea of returning to his hometown, but because of the hard work of Ruoxin and his wife, he has not left. He guessed that Shu Yan and Ruoxin had the idea of resigning, but he was afraid that the two would come back to stay, so he secretly left a note, and took the elephant to the ferry while Ruan Shui was not paying attention.

Shu Yan and Ruoxin heard that Ruan Shan had left, and they didn't have time to go home first, so they hurriedly turned around and chased after the ferry with Ruan Shui. Although the ferry was full of people and boats, the giant elephant was very conspicuous and was already on board.

The three of them ran a few steps, and Ruoxin and Ruan Shui shouted together: "Brother is back, brother is back." ”

Ruan Shan saw the three of them chasing after him, and hurriedly called the ship's family to anchor the former colonel

Shu Yan was grateful for Ruan Shan's past friendship and helping him fight against the Huns, of course, he didn't want him to leave, and shouted at Ruan Shan from afar: "Brother Ruan has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and he has no relatives at home, and now he is alone, why do you have to go back?" ”

Although Ruan Shan was also very sad, in order not to make his sister even more sad, he pretended to have a hearty attitude, hugged his fist at Shu Yan and said: "There is no banquet that will not be dispersed, and people will eventually disperse." I am most gratified to see my sister and brother-in-law respecting each other as guests. As for me, although I am alone, I will eventually return to my roots. This is true of people, and so is elephants, and Cochin is the right place for it. I'll write to me when I get home, don't worry. If the mountains don't turn around, we will have a period later. ”

How far away is Ruyin from Jiaozhi? Ruan Shui knew that his brother's sentence "there will be a period later" was basically empty words, and it might be difficult to achieve it once in the second half of his life, even until he died, so he couldn't help crying.

The boat has sailed to the center of the river, down the river to the south, and is drifting away. The three of them waved goodbye to Ruan Shan until they couldn't make out the outline, and then turned around and went home.

Shu Yan's idea of resigning has long been born, and he has won the support of the two husbands. When they got home, Zhixin and Mo greeted each other at the door with smiles and helped Shu Yan carry the luggage and parcels in. When they saw their husband, they knew that he was truly relieved, not only was there no trace of desolation, but they were really happy for him. In the days to come, I really want to be free and enjoy the joy of humanity. However, the kind of comfortable male ploughing and female weaving should be left for later, and for now, they first planned to come to a free and easy school without a time limit

Zhixin settled her luggage, and Mo was about to cook herself, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice knocking on the door outside, it was none other than A Miao and a servant of the Shi family.

Miao entered the door alone. Shu Yan and the two ladies hurriedly greeted each other, and saw her lower abdomen bulging, as if she had reached a very large month of pregnancy, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhixin hurriedly asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's not as soft as the Zun Mansion, I only have this wooden bench in my house, so you can just take it." ”

Ah Miao didn't want to sit, but the other party was like this, and if he didn't sit, he felt embarrassed, so he sat down and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be like this, now Shifu is already an empty shelf." Although the son has Nandu, he has just arrived, and he has started his family business, and everything has to start again. What the prospects are, no one can be sure. On the contrary, people like you, who are plain and stable, self-sufficient, amiable and casual, without dignity and humility, are really happy. ”

Mo looked at her bulging belly and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is a burden left by your son-in-law, right?" ”

Ah Miao's face flushed, indicating acquiescence.

Shu Yan was afraid that Ah Miao would be embarrassed, and then she said: "It is true that our family cannot be compared with the family, but it is true that they are comfortable with food and clothing. I don't know what Sister Miao wants to do when she comes out of the city? ”

Ah Miao saw that Shu Yan was dressed in civilian clothes and that there were luggage packages at home, so she asked, "When I came out of the city, I heard the news of Brother Shu's resignation spread on the street, but is it true?" ”

"It's true, I'm unofficial now."

"Then you're afraid it's not that easy. Because the news of your resignation, the people are only hearsay at present, and they can't be sure whether it's true or not, and many people have gone to the county office for verification. The county office is just that you are going home, obviously you don't dare to tell the truth, and you want to hide it for the time being. But you can't hide it for a while. Sooner or later, the common people will know the truth, and they will never agree to your resignation, and they will carry you back when the time comes. ”

Shu Yan smiled slightly: "You came out of the city so far, wouldn't you tell me this?" ”

Ah Miao hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Of course not." I'm here to find two sisters to say goodbye—I'm going to go south to find my son-in-law and the eldest princess. ”

"Well, they have been crossing the river for several months, and they must have settled down a long time ago, so you can go at this time to wait for childbirth with peace of mind."

Ah Miao sighed softly: "How can you be so worry-free? I only know that Gongzi went to Jianye, and I don't know anything about the specific situation now. ”

"It's been months since they crossed to the south, and they haven't even sent a letter? Even if your son-in-law is not sensible, the eldest princess is a thoughtful person? Mo and Zhixin couldn't help but question.

The two sisters didn't know anything. For the sake of safety, the three of us originally planned to leave in batches, with the son and the eldest princess going first, and I going second. Who knew that as soon as the prince and the eldest princess left, the Huns besieged the city, and I was trapped in the city and failed to make it. All messages were also cut off, so there was no news all the time. ”

"Then you can send someone to Jianye to inquire about the truth first, and then ask them to send someone to pick you up. You're so pot-bellied, it's really too hard. ”

"According to the day, labor is almost two months away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go if I delay it any longer. Jiangbei is so chaotic, who knows what will happen in the future? The eldest princess is cowardly and can't afford to be overwhelmed, so I must send the flesh and blood of the Shi family to the son's side safely. And I am here today to say goodbye to my two sisters in person, and to make up for the regret that the eldest princess of my family was unable to say goodbye to my two sisters in person. ”

Ah Miaowan didn't want to delay more, so he got up and said goodbye.

Zhixin and Mo sent her to the ferry before returning.

Shu Yan sighed: "Sure enough, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, and only today has experienced several partings." ”

Zhixin smiled: "You, don't sigh here, think about how you can get out." ”

"Are you the people?" Shu Yan laughed, "By the time they know the truth, it's already too late, will I sit and wait for them to come to the house to carry me?" ”

"In this way, I have to clean up more and more quickly."

Zhixin stepped up to prepare the items needed for the trip. Chef Mo carefully prepared a few dishes. For the first time, Shu Yan accompanied the two ladies to eat a meal so reassuring and calm.

The two ladies were busy until the second watch, and then they were cleaned up.

"Let's get some rest." Shu Yan urged.

Zhixin glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You don't care about packing up, you just have to go to see the sea as soon as you go, but you should always determine where you want to go, right?" ”

Shu Yan thought for a while and said: "If you want to get closer, you naturally have to go to the East China Sea, but it is rumored that only the South China Sea has an end, but it is too far." It's up to you to decide where to go. ”

Mo Tian smiled lightly: "When I was a girl, I liked to be unrestrained the most, and I wanted to see the sea at that time, purely out of curiosity. Later, I met my husband, and I felt that I could not be happiest to be able to realize this wish with my beloved, so I was even more Yin Lian, but now that I am older, everything is indifferent, and I feel that I was really naïve after all. ”

Zhixin grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, it was the husband who failed you, so he must make up for this shortcoming, and the first thing after resigning is to see the long-awaited sea." ”

Mo smiled faintly and said: "I really don't mean to complain, but I really understand the pain of life." Look at this crowd of living beings, everyone is tired of running for a living, every bit has to be considered, from morning to night, there is little leisure to go out to play. Most women never walk fifty miles in their lifetimes, and men rarely walk a hundred miles. As for looking at the sea, it's unimaginable. Don't be my hometown Wenshan, but Ruyin, which is relatively close to the sea, how many people in the county have seen the sea? ”

Shu Yan shook Zhixin with his left hand and Mo with his right hand, and kept exchanging words to the left and right: "I not only failed you, but also failed you." But it's not too late. We take advantage of the fact that there is no burden, first help you realize your desire to see the sea, and then return to your hometown, as you thought when you were young, men and women weave, and enjoy the joy of the countryside. ”

"What do you say about living up to it? True feelings are like a clean officialdom, not swayed by distractions, not shaken by gains and losses, caring about responsibility, not for demand. We are to you, just like you are to the people of Ruyin, as long as we believe that we should insist, we must pay. ”

"You've paid enough, I'm going to pay back twice as much in the future." At this point, Shu Yan's serious face suddenly gave birth to a trace of evil charm, "-You, who will I repay first?" ”

There is no need to say too much about the affairs between husband and wife. The two ladies knew what Shu Yan wanted, so they went back to the house, but they both left the door.

The east side of the room smiled and said: "We were good, just like three confidants and friends, wandering outside the form together, but you will inevitably seek the form after all!" ”

"Those who are inside the body are also Ben; Those who are outside the form are also at the end. Without the skeleton itself, how can it wander outside the skeleton? I'm looking for the basics first and then the end, but what's wrong? ”

The room on the west side also smiled and said: "You have such a high reputation, the loyal and benevolent gentleman turned out to be a hypocrite!" ”

"To be born a man, then to be a gentleman. Confucius taught us self-denial and revenge, which is the gift of Zhou Gong. Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, don't say indecent things, don't move indecent people. I laugh and love my own husband, who dares to be rude? On the contrary, if you don't ignore, don't listen, don't speak, and don't move your wife, it's really against the courtesy of Duke Zhou! ”

"It's just instinctive desire, husband doesn't need to be so high-sounding, right? It's actually at such a high level of self-denial! ”

"Haha, that's it! The first time I heard the retribution of self-denial was the repetition of this kind of husband and wife ceremony. Even if the husband wants to deny himself, we are no longer a young man, so we should deny ourselves more and recite less. ”

"The Book of Rites" cloud: The gift of husband and wife, only to seventy, is hidden together. Therefore, although the concubine is old and not yet fifty years old, she will be with the emperor for five days. Are you and I old? It's still early. ”
