"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Gongsun Wangjing was still not in a hurry, and said leisurely.

Bai Xing tearfully confided in his heartfelt words, his eyes couldn't help but drift out of the window, as if talking to himself: "What kind of rivers and lakes are these rivers and lakes...... Gongsun forgot to understand what he meant, so he asked: "What does the white girl mean by this?" Bai Xing tearfully explained: "Don't hide it from the second owner, the younger generation is going to the rivers and lakes, but it is to hide from my father and run away." I was born in the Bai family, and I have been accompanied by swords since I was a child, and I have listened to my mother tell me some stories about the rivers and lakes since I was a child. ”

"She has told me more than once the story of my father's crisscrossing of the rivers and lakes, the thrilling, chivalrous legends, the life of fighting swords and rivers and lakes, and the life of horses and red dust, which I have longed for a long time. Why is my father stubborn, although he passed on my martial arts, he wanted to imprison me in the boudoir forever, marry someone else, and be a good wife and mother who taught her husband and children. ”

"I yearn for the rivers and lakes, how can I agree? I took advantage of the chaos to escape on the day of the wedding, and only asked my personal maid to impostor and marry for me. I was able to escape from Anhuai Mansion and embark on this long road with Shen Cuttlefish and others. ”

Gongsun forgot to look at his expression, listened to his words, and had a number in his heart, and asked tactfully: "Does the girl have any regrets?" Bai Xing was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, nodded, and hurriedly shook his head, hesitated, and finally could only say: "Don't hide it from the second owner, in fact, I don't know what I think now, whether I regret it, so I came to visit late at night, and I want to ask to understand, to see if the second owner can point out a clear way for the younger generation in the maze." ”

Gongsun nodded and smiled: "The white girl is serious. I don't dare to point out, but there is a question below, please answer the white girl truthfully. Seeing Bai Xing's tears and nodding in agreement, Gongsun Wangjing then asked: "Dare to ask if Miss Bai refused to marry and escape from Anhuai Mansion just to feel the rivers and lakes?"

Bai Xing fell silent when he heard this, pondered for a moment, and replied solemnly: "Actually, not all. For a long time, I have long wanted to go out and roam alone, instead of being locked up in the boudoir all day doing some embroidery. Second...... Bai Xing was ashamed to say it, but Gongsun Wangjing smiled and said: "Isn't it because he is angry with Bai Yusheng's seniors?"

"Let the seniors laugh. Bai Xing was a little shy, lowered his head and replied in a low voice. Gongsun Wangjing took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I don't know why Miss Bai has a grudge in her heart and is angry with Senior Bai, presumably not only because he wants you to marry and teach your children, and be an ordinary rich and noble daughter, and you are not allowed to set foot in the rivers and lakes?"

"If you don't enter the rivers and lakes, what's the use of practicing martial arts?" Bai Xing immediately raised his head and argued when he heard this, "Yes, he doesn't care about it, and he doesn't understand my feelings at all, so he wants to marry me to another family, and I naturally don't want to." But it's not all. Not only this one thing, but other things, as long as my father insists on doing it, I will not do it. Why should I live my life under his control, and should I live for myself or for him?"

Gongsun Wangjing shook his head and smiled: "This is not bad, but he is an elder after all, and he must be measured, and he must not be rude." Even if he is wrong, you should explain to him that it is better to sit down and talk calmly than to hold back in your heart and be angry with each other. ”

"I know it, and he knows it. But we just can't speak well. Bai Xing explained helplessly. Gongsun Wangjing smiled secretly when he heard this, and then raised his head and said: "Hearing this, could it be that Miss Bai has a long-standing grudge against Senior Bai?" Bai Xing tearfully revealed the truth: "It's not bad." I have been holding these words in my heart for 20 years, and although he and I are father and daughter, we have very few days together. ”

Gongsun Wangjing was puzzled: "How can this be?"

"I was raised by my mother since I was a child, and my father didn't even see him a few times in my childhood memories, except for urging me to practice martial arts. He is always out and about, but my mother explained it to him, saying that he did not change his true colors. Later, he finally returned home, but he was obsessed with martial arts and locked himself in the house all day long. The few times I went out of the customs, it was to punish me for sneaking out to play, and he personally beat me with 30 boards, beating me so that my flesh and blood were blurred, and my mother cried for more than half a month. ”

"If it weren't for my mother, I would only be afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive those hard days, and the Bai family would have been lonely. I once asked my mother why my father was obsessed with martial arts every day, and completely ignored family affairs, and my mother and daughter, if he didn't love us. My mother always excused him, saying that he had his own ambitions and ambitions. I thought that I could rely on each other with my mother for a lifetime, but who knew that my mother became ill due to overwork, and then died of a serious illness. Whether it was the day my mother left, or the day of the funeral, my father didn't show up, and in vain my mother didn't change her mind about him, and she still chanted his name until she died? I resented him, hated him, and was angry with him, he failed my mother, and now he wants to meddle in my life, why? Second owner, you say, is such a father worthy of my respect?"

Speaking of the anger, Bai Xingxian couldn't help but stand up, his face full of anger.

Gongsun Wangjing never thought that Bai Yusheng, who was once famous in the rivers and lakes, would have such a past, so he had to push it out and say: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, with all due respect, this is the family matter of the white girl and the white seniors, and I really don't judge it favorably." ”

Only then did Bai Xingxian realize his gaffe, hurriedly retreated half a step, bowed down and said: "The younger generation is rude, and he said that he was out of shape for a while, and I hope that the second owner of the village will not blame." Gongsun Wangjing saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Let's go back to the beginning, how did the white girl feel after she set foot in the rivers and lakes?

"Perhaps...... Maybe my father won't let me set foot in the rivers and lakes, it's not unreasonable......" Bai Xing looked lonely, sat back on the side of the small table, held the jade cup with both hands, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and said with a wry smile, "The sword rivers and lakes I once imagined, chivalrous and righteous, chivalrous and courageous, now it seems that they are all in the mirror, which seems to be close at hand, but they are far away." When I finally touched it, I scattered when I touched it. ”

Gongsun Wangjing asked rhetorically, "Where do you start with this?"

"When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I seemed to be able to have no scruples and be free and easy, but in the end I found that I was confined to the sword after all, and I couldn't escape the word human affection. Bai Xing said with tears, "Those so-called chivalrous deeds may be vulnerable, many times complicated things, but they can't make their own decisions, they can't help themselves, they have no choice, they have no choice, and if they are not careful, they will be crushed." When I was a child, my mother once held me to admire the moon, pointed to the round of jade plate and said that Chang'e in the Toad Palace, just like this rivers and lakes, I once had an incomparable yearning for them, and now it seems that I am afraid that the rivers and lakes and the Toad Palace are cold and unbearable. Is this what it is called, that the height is unbearable?"

Gongsun Wangjing smiled slightly when he heard this, and said with a calm smile: "The Diamond Sutra says that all appearances are false, and if you see everything that is not the same, you will see it as it is." In other words, the rivers and lakes you seek and fantasize about, the chivalrous battles and righteousness, and the sword rivers and lakes, may not be illusory, but they may not be real. If you are obsessed with this, everything is illusory, if you recognize the present moment and treat each other calmly, you may be able to see through this so-called rivers and lakes. ”

Bai Xing nodded thoughtfully in tears, and Gongsun Wangjing added: "But in this life, it is fast to say, and slow to say slow." The fastest, the white horse passes through the gap, and it is fleeting. The slow, decades, far away. Sometimes, you always need some false illusions to support yourself to survive. After all, there are a few people in the world who really have deer, and they don't know that they dream of being fish all day long. ”

"Dare to ask the seniors, what is good and what is evil?" Bai Xingxian asked again.

Gongsun Wangjing then explained: "This is the next family's words, and the white girl will listen to it. In my opinion, good is evil, and evil is extremely good. The two are not opposites, but have the same root and origin, and are interdependent. Where there is good, there is evil, and where there is evil, there is good. Just like light and shadow, they are mutually reinforcing. But most people or things in the world can not only be judged by good and evil, and the rivers and lakes are not black and white. Sometimes the source of good is evil. Evil thoughts only begin, but they can also be good. It's just that the process is different, and the results are different. Among them, the true meaning, everyone in the world has their own thoughts, as the so-called benevolent see benevolence, wise men see wisdom, white girl, you have to learn to understand by yourself. ”

"What the second owner said is very true, the younger generation must take a good look. Bai Xing nodded and smiled, and suddenly found that in the jade cup, there was a silver-white crescent moon reflected, and he felt strange, so he hurriedly raised his head when Gongsun forgot to look down and taste tea, and saw a few tiles that had been removed, and couldn't help but wonder, and inevitably thought in his heart: "Why do you want to remove a few bricks and tiles in the main house of Erzhuang, and why do you practice late at night, isn't it gathering the aura of heaven and earth, and gathering the essence of the sun and the moon?"

The confusion in my heart was removed, and the doubts came to my heart again, so I didn't want to ask questions, so I had to shirk and said: "Thank you to the second owner for solving the doubts in the hearts of the younger generations, it's not early." The younger generation will leave, and the second owner will rest early. Gongsun Wangjing then got up to send him off, Bai Xing Tears saluted again and again, after opening the door to send away Bai Xing Tears, Gongsun Wangjing then remembered the few tiles that had not yet returned to their place, hurriedly turned around, and suddenly saw a person standing in the dark in the corner, wearing a black robe and a mask, silently, startled him to retreat half a step, and hurriedly asked: "Who is here?"

The man was silent, Gongsun Wangjing frowned coldly, and asked sharply: "Who is here, show up quickly?" The man heard this, and said with a hoarse voice: "Hahaha, it is rumored that the second owner of the Mi Mi Villa is elegant and peaceful, but now it seems that this is not the case." It's just a reckless and reckless person who doesn't know how to be polite. ”

"Your Excellency has been in the middle of my house at night and has hidden in my house to listen to other people's conversations, who is the reckless and reckless person?" Gongsun Wangjing sneered.
