Chapter 53 Duanyang Leaves Ink

Lu Yang entered the congratulatory banquet that had already been arranged on the Golden Palace. The civil and military officials who are in charge of important affairs everywhere congratulate each other with flowing glasses. Lu Yang was already not strong enough to drink, and as soon as he was praised by those Manchu civil and military generals, he suddenly became a little fluttery. I can't stop drinking with the eunuchs who came to toast. That wine is a special offer in the palace, and it has been treasured for a hundred years. After Lu Yang was affected by Su Xiaolian's previous incident, he was depressed in his heart, so he naturally sent his affection and wine, and drank freely without any scruples. When the drunkenness came up, he got up and recited poetry to express his joy. It's even more hilarious, and I can't help myself.

That night, Lu Yang was drunk and collapsed to the ground, unconscious. King Tang ordered the maids in the palace to help Lu Yang up and stay in Changle Palace. Nothing was said all night. He was so drunk that he didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, but he had already been brought by the imperial doctor to sober up the decoction, Lu Yang drank it, and the feeling of dizziness and discomfort in his brain gradually turned clear. But there were so many officials from the DPRK and China, Lu Yang couldn't shirk it, and went to the banquet for another day. The drunken dream lasted until the next day, but there were old men from the DPRK and China. It is said that Lu Yang is in Chang'an, and there are endless wine banquets every day, enjoying the splendid prosperity of Chang'an City.

Lu Yang's brocade clothes and jade belt stood on the Duanyang Tower again, in the spring river and moon. He looked at the railing, as if he had seen through the rippling moat, and saw the hardships of his childhood when he went from the cold gate in the wind and snow, step by step, from his hometown in Runan to the imperial capital Chang'an to catch the exam. There is also the hope of gaining fame and fame, and the pride in the heart of expressing the ambition in the chest. Although he was able to become famous at this time, he was no longer in the mood he was in at that time when he climbed the famous building in Duanyang again.

He drank the wine alone, and stood by the railing. I feel nostalgic for a long time. Suddenly, he recalled his wish when he first climbed the Duanyang Tower, and now, his wish has been fulfilled, but there seems to be something missing in his heart. He took advantage of the wine, asked the store for pen and ink, and wrote it on the ** wall on the side, and made a poem "Man Tingfang", sighing for the years in the past, how many old sorrows, all came to his heart. The words say:

The fishing fire on the other bank, the clouds on the horizon, and the dusk at the railing. The lights and windows are cold, and there is no one to cut the candles. Who solves thousands of thoughts, empty to the moon, and alone. The cold mountains are far away, the partridges are singing sadly, and the moss marks on the stones.

Surviving. In the haze, the gathering is impermanent, trapped and separated. The wind blows and the snow returns to spring. Where is the intention of Yan Shan, the famous upstairs, sighing. I have missed, the heart of the old city, and the soul of the Yiren.

Lu Yang had three cups and two glasses, a little intoxicated, and consciously wanted to be happy, and wrote a poem "Xijiangyue" under it to dispel the feelings in his heart. Cloud:

The smoke locks the cold river for thousands of miles, and the moon reflects thousands of alleys. Drunk to go upstairs to look at Jinghua, a city of willow into the painting.

Sleepy pillow on the edge of the sky, tired of lying in the world flying flowers. Floating and lonely like a horse, disturbing the ancient road and faint crows.

I wrote down the new words all over the wall, but I was still confined to the ink, the looming old sorrow. Lu Yang tried hard to recall something, but the wine came up and his mind was cloudy. But he didn't know where he was, but when he woke up, the flattery of the attendants and guests around him made him have to devote himself to laughing. Can't help yourself.

......

Early the next morning, Lu Yangjindian waited for the seal. It's just that he doesn't want to stay in the court as an official, and he only wants to return to his hometown Runan to be a small official in a remote state. Although King Tang felt sorry for Lu Yang because he was unwilling to follow his side, he still respected his choice, and in Changle Palace, he lined up a magnificent guard of honor to see him off.

Lu Yang drank a few cups and said goodbye to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Carrying only a few taels of silver, the Tang king sent two more attendants to follow him to Runan to take office. The three of them were in the civil and military officials, and under the send-off of Guo Xiang, they beat their horses and said goodbye in the ten-mile court outside the city. Although Lu Yang was reluctant to give off the affection of the officials, he missed his hometown Runan even more, so he wanted to go back one day earlier and sweep the grave of the late master.

Walking along the road, but seeing the mountains and rivers like washing, the spring breeze blows, bringing a trace of refreshment. In the past, when I was rushing to take the exam, those winter snow and sunsets have passed in the years. Now that spring has returned to the earth, all things have grown. It is naturally very comfortable and comfortable to watch these many bright mountains and rivers in the song and swallow dance.

Lu Yang is in high Chinese and is in a good mood. It was the time when the spring breeze was proud, so he let go of the white horse along the way, carried him to swim freely, and watched the beautiful world along the way. The lake and water are bright and bright, and the three of them came from Jinghua Chang'an along the road, and saw many green mountains and beautiful waters, historic sites and scenic spots on the way. The mood is bright, forgetting sorrow, as the poem says:

The green mountains gallop for thousands of miles, and the peach blossoms are drunk and laughing in the spring breeze.

Ten miles of smoke and waves can't stay, and the Jinfan River turns to the tent.

The three of them were hungry and thirsty along the road, and stayed overnight. The mount given by the king of Tang was extremely strong, and he rushed back to Runan in a few days. This matter has already caused a sensation in a county, the people of Runan Township, every household sings the praises of the virtue of the new official, and the people spontaneously eat pot pulp outside the ten-mile post road, and greet each other along the road.

Lu Yang rode on a white horse and looked at these simple and enthusiastic people, many of them were in shabby clothes and haggard. I thought in my heart, now that my new official has taken office, I must let these township fathers and elders live a prosperous and good life.

He pacified the people. rode away to the old house in his memory, but he saw the old book house in the township that was abandoned by him after he resigned from the exam, just like in his memory, still standing there. The wood door is half-covered, and the flowers outside the fence are yellow. Feel the familiarity. The corners of Lu Yang's eyes were unconsciously a little moist, and he stood there blankly, as if he saw the book that had been in his hands all day and studying at dawn and night. A young man who hopes to achieve fame.

Spring goes to summer, autumn ends with winter. For many nights, he studied hard here, for the sustenance of his mentor and for the ambition in his young man's chest. At that time, when he read and read for a long time every night, the master, who raised him since childhood, would always bring him a bowl of warm tea. Earnestly taught, how many days and nights warmed him. Now, when the wanderer returns to his hometown, he can't help but cry when he recalls that overnight bond.

He gently pushed open the wood door and walked into the house, but was surprised to see that on the bamboo chair in the study, there was an old man with frosty white temples. His old face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were already cloudy, but they were full of love, which was the face in Lu Yang's memory!

"Master, child Lu Yang, you're back......"

Lu Yang cried with joy and bowed to the old man excitedly. In his original world, his master Lu Hengchuan died of illness. He was left alone in this world, carrying a heavy bag. Wandering the world. This left an indelible loneliness in the young Lu Yang's heart. But now that he saw that Master was still alive in the world, he was in ecstasy, and his heart was stirred. If this is just a dream bubble, then Lu Yang is also willing to immerse himself in it and never wake up.

"Kid, you're doing a great job. Master, always be proud of you. Lu Hengchuan smiled with relief, and also helped Lu Yang up with joy. Today's Lu Yang is twenty-two years old, in his prime, and his handsome face is like a beautiful jade. The long body is straight, and between the demeanors, all reveal a chic atmosphere. Today's Lu Hengchuan is close to the wind, and seeing Lu Yang's achievements is very relieved. There is only one hope left for him, and that is that Lu Yang can find a wife who can treat him well.

Lu Hengchuan lived in seclusion in Runan and had never been accompanied by his wife, and he regarded Lu Yang, a sensible child, as his own a long time ago. Now, what he has left is that Lu Yang can marry a wife and have children, and the two can live happily and peacefully in the world. With his thin hand, he gently stroked Lu Yang's head and said, "Child, Master's only wish is to see you find the person who has been with me all my life in the remaining years, marry her, and inherit my descendants of Lu Hengchuan." ”

"People who have been with you for a lifetime...... Who is she?" Lu Yang was shocked, he was immersed in ecstasy at this time and couldn't extricate himself. However, there was always a figure in his mind, which seemed to call him to remember something. However, he worked hard for ten years, and finally achieved fame, as well as the long-lost warmth in the memory brought by Lu Hengchuan, his hometown of Runan. made him feel like a numb heart, and he couldn't let go.

"No, no, I'd rather never wake up. But why am I so sad in my heart?" Lu Yang said to himself with a dull gaze. However, every scene in his memory is emerging in his heart, since the love of his master when he was a child, and after that, he is left alone on a lonely journey, with a thousand words in his heart. can only complain to the empty mountain, and the flowing water is tilted against each other.

He said goodbye to his master, got on the white horse in despair, and walked along the post road amid the cheers and hugs of the people. The persistence in his heart was also drowned out in the noise of cheers and festivities. Immersed in this land of joy, he was very tired, and he didn't want to explore the unknown ahead anymore, if he had been an official in Runan and accompanied by his master, then it would be a good place to go, he thought.

Lu Yang's new official took office, and he was in a good mood, since he experienced Su Xiaolian in Yunzhou, Lu Yang also thought that one day he could become a parent official of one party, and he consciously wanted to be honest and honest for the public, and fill his own pockets for injustice. We should do our part for the people of Runan to make their lives better.

At that moment, he immediately ordered to open the warehouse of Runan Mansion and release grain for three days to help the people who were living in poverty. He also opened a public trial of the cases left over from the old days in the Runan official office. Lu Yang's heart is to the people, and he is upright. and he is quite talented in his chest, and those unjust cases that have been deposited for a long time have been cut straight and clear by him, and the people are overjoyed when they see that there are officials in Runan like this. They all sang the praises of Lu Yang's virtues of putting the people first and practicing the law impartially.
