077 times, how heavy is the heart of the buckle gold beads, pointing to the mountain to return the favor

After Mei Zhenyi's explanation, Mei Yi also regained his composure, and no longer sighed anything, as for what else he thought in his heart, it was his own business. Starting the next day, Mei Yi went to Shuzhou Mansion, showed his identity with a fish talisman, and transferred the best carriage from the government, but he did not have to be escorted by the guards, and personally drove to Wuzhou.

Shuzhou is not far from Wuzhou, although Mei Yi can't use his magical powers, but his cultivation is still there, and the car is much stronger than the ordinary handlebar style, and the speed of the two horses pulling the light car on the official road is extremely fast, and it looks like a wisp of smoke and dust from a distance. After the smoke and dust, the breeze and the bright moon followed unhurriedly, and the dust under his feet did not get dirty.

Mei Zhenyi sat in the carriage and thought about his thoughts, Mei Yi's encounter made him feel a lot, and suddenly remembered a sentence "Mo Langyan in front of the gods", it seems that this is really the case, maybe it is a curse or a blessing! Those who worship the Buddha and seek immortals do not know one thing, that is, if the immortal Buddha is not there, it is useless to ask, if the immortal Buddha really comes, the result is not something that ordinary people can predict.

Zi said: "Respect the ghosts and gods and stay away." "-I'm not going to deceive you!

Mei Zhenyi was thinking back to the origins of the two fairy children mentioned by the Zhiyan Fairy, as well as what Qingfeng and Mingyue said in the past few days, and the familiar or vague names were linked: Qingfeng, Mingyue, Zhenyuan Daxian, and Heart Ape Wukong, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of who this pair of fairy children was!

The most famous breeze and bright moon in history is not the breeze and bright moon of Wenzui Mountain, but the breeze and bright moon of Wuzhuang Temple!

There is a time in "Journey to the West" called "Wanshou Mountain Daxian left old friends, Wuzhuang Guanxing stole ginseng", which is about Xuanzang passing by Wuzhuang Guanguan after learning scriptures, and the master Zhenyuan Daxian was not there, leaving only a pair of boys at home. The boy entertained Xuanzang with ginseng fruit, but Xuanzang didn't dare to eat it, so the pair of boys ate it themselves. Several of Xuanzang's apprentices were greedy to steal ginseng fruits, which led to a series of stories.

This story is a happy ending in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong knocked down the ginseng fruit tree, but in the end he still asked for pure dew from Guanzi Bodhisattva to save the ginseng fruit tree, and Zhenyuan Daxian and Sun Wukong became brothers. As for Qingfeng and Mingyue, they are just two small supporting roles in the story, and they were never mentioned again.

After crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, I met all kinds of characters in myths and legends. even worshipped Han Zhongli as a teacher, which is very different from what was seen in the literary works of later generations. Since he mistakenly thought that Zhong Liquan was testing himself and rudely offended several masters of the Miaofa Sect, Mei Zhenyi did not deliberately attach himself to myths and legends, and did things honestly.

But when he saw Qingfeng and Mingyue today, he still remembered this historical allusion. Aren't they the legendary pair of Wuzhuang Guan? How did they become the children of the medicine garden in Wenzui Mountain? How could they have a conflict with the descendants of Zhenyuan Daxian? It seems that the truth has another twist and turn.

Xuanzang traveled west and went to Tianzhu Nalanda Temple to seek the Dharma, which is indeed a matter in history. Mei Zhenyi traveled to the Tang Dynasty and what he knew and heard was not much different from the historical records. That was in the early years of Zhenguan, and now Master Xuanzang has already passed away in Chang'an, what is the matter with this fairy child? On the way to Xuanzang's west, he should have really met Qingfeng, Mingyue and Zhenyuan Daxian.

There is only one thing that is certain, Qingfeng and Mingyue are the two fairy children in "Journey to the West". Now he came to the world with all the elixirs of the Wanshou Sect Medicine Field, and was taken in by himself. Where is the elixir hidden? Do they still have ginseng fruit on them? If so, can you get one or two to try it?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, dispelling this somewhat absurd idea, Mei Zhenyi had already understood. The blessings of the immortal family are not casually sought, and the practice is based on the law of cause and effect. With his current ability, he can't meddle in such a thing, so don't even mention it, let's talk about it in the future. All you need to do is keep your promise and give them a mountain as a training ground.

When I arrived at the boundary of Wuzhou, I did not enter the city, but went straight to Qiyunguan along the Qingyi River in the suburbs. In the afternoon, we passed Miaomen Mountain. When he came to Qingyi Lake, he saw Qi Yunfeng's path up the mountain from a distance, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Mei Yi turned back in front and said, "Young Master, there are many people at the foot of the mountain, they should be waiting for you." ”

Mei Zhenyi ordered to stop, jumped out of the car and said to Qingfeng and Mingyue behind: "Two fairy children, come all the way." Six mountains lined up along the river. And the three mountains in the lake in front of it, which is Wuzhou Jiulian Mountain. All belong to my Mei family. You can go around now, I still have something to attend to at home, and I'll see you in three days. ”

Qingfeng nodded: "Okay, in three days, we will meet here." Then he didn't say much, he took the bright moon and stepped on the waves, looking at the direction of Qingyi Three Mountains.

The group of people at the foot of the mountain saw that the carriage had stopped, and they all hurried over, and Mei Zhenyi also hurried up to meet it. Before he got closer, two petite figures rushed out of the crowd, and shouted the young master with a crying voice, one left and one right threw themselves into their arms, Mei Zhenyi stretched out his hands to hug them, it was Gu'er and Sui'er, the two little maids.

The two maids have their hair in a bun and their clothes are very neat, obviously they are waiting for it after they have been dressed, they haven't seen it for more than a month, this pair of beautiful girls is a lot haggard, their faces are pale, and their almond eyes are red and swollen, obviously I don't know how many times I have cried. At this moment, he threw himself into the young master's arms, wanted to speak but couldn't speak, sobbing and crying. This month has frightened them and made them anxious, and when they saw the young master return unharmed, they cried with joy for a while.

Looking at the opposite side again, Zhang Guo, Xingyun Shitai, senior brother Qu Zhensheng, uncle Liu Zhi, and the six Mei brothers all stepped forward to express condolences. There are not only people but also ghosts, and ordinary people are unaware of the yin wind, and they also come to say hello and congratulate him on his unharmed return. Mei Zhenyi couldn't return the salute with the two maids in her arms, so she couldn't stop nodding her head and thanking her, Zhang Guo and the others had their eyes a little moist, and they smiled with relief - no matter what, it's good to be back!

Mei Yi asked Zhang Guo on the side: "How do you know that the young master and I will come back today?"

Zhang Guo: "Cheng Xuanhu sent someone to ride a fast horse from Haozhou to report that the young master was about to go home soon, I can guess that the young master will definitely return to Qiyunguan first, and we have been waiting at the foot of the mountain for the past two days." ”

Holding a pair of beautiful girls and maids, looking at these kind faces in front of her, Mei Zhenyi's heart overflowed with an indescribable warm current, and her nose was a little sour and she wanted to cry. The regret brought by his father's arrow in front of Wan Ma Jun was dispelled little by little at this moment.

He lowered his head and said softly to the two maids: "Aren't I good, why are you crying? Don't cry anymore, your eyes won't look good if you cry and swell!"

Gu'er and Sui'er stopped sobbing and laughing. reacted to behaving rudely in front of everyone, and quickly bowed down to apologize, and was pulled up by Mei Zhenyi. Next, he stepped forward and thanked everyone for his long success: "Teng'er has suddenly changed, so you are worried about me!" Everyone stretched out their hands to help, and they all said that the young master's death was auspicious, and it was worth celebrating.

The group hugged Mei Zhenyi and Mei Yi, just like two generals who had returned victoriously from the battlefield, talking and laughing all the way back to Qiyunguan. That night, a banquet was held in the view. Both washing the dust and suppressing the shock, before the banquet, Mei Zhenyi remembered one thing and invited her uncle Liu Zhi to the study alone.

After Liu Zhi heard that his nephew had an accident, he was also anxious to eat and sleep, and his sister Liu Qiaoniang left early, leaving only such a little blood and bones, how could it not be worried? I heard that Mei Zhenyi returned unharmed. Liu Zhi deliberately rushed to Qiyunguan from Ningguo County to wait, and he had to see him go home with his own eyes to rest assured.

As the saying goes, seeing an uncle is like a mother, especially when the mother is not there, that is the closest person in the mother's family. When I just crossed over, I didn't feel much about this inexplicable cheap uncle, but I met at this time. Mei Zhenyi can really feel the warmth between relatives. There is no need to elaborate on the words of comfort between the nephews and uncles, and finally Mei Zhenyi begged her uncle for something.

Liu Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you to still have this heart, how can I not agree." Your child is really like your deceased mother, careful, and always very thoughtful. ”

Before the banquet was placed, Liu Zhi announced one thing in front of everyone, he wanted to recognize Gu'er and Sui'er as daughters, not righteous daughters in name, but adopted daughters recorded in the place of household registration. This means that the identities of this pair of maids will be different in the future, and their names have become Liu Guer and Liu Suier. is no longer an ordinary subordinate, but Mei Zhenyi's "cousin".

As soon as Liu Zhizhi spoke, everyone guessed that Mei Zhenyi had just dragged his uncle to discuss something, and they also understood his intention - to marry these two maids in the future. Note that it is "marry", not "accept", and there is a big difference.

The marriage system of the Tang Dynasty was legal monogamy, and an adult man could only have one wife. Of course. Rich people can take concubines. You can also raise a bunch of kabuki in the house, and in the eyes of modern people, they are all little wives. But the legal status at that time was completely different.

Concubines have no legally recognized status, are not protected in any way, do not have the right to inherit and dispose of property, and even the concubine itself is a kind of private property that can be bought and sold or transferred at will. Judging from the textual expression, it is obvious that marrying a wife is called "marrying", and it is necessary to ask the matchmaker to perform the legal procedures, and "acceptance" means storage, just like buying a thing, no matchmaker or letter of appointment.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty also stipulated that the nobles and lows of the scholars and the Shu tribes did not intermarry, which referred to the formal husband and wife, and had nothing to do with concubines, which also meant that concubines were excluded from the legal status. There are also regulations that a concubine cannot be used as a wife, which means that if the wife dies, it is difficult for the concubine to be corrected.

That day at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, when Mei Zhenyi tore open the buckle and took out the gold beads, he was very touched in his heart, after this life and death ordeal, he thought of repaying all those who treated him well, of course, including Gu'er and Sui'er who took care of him meticulously. He had long planned to keep this pair of beautiful girls by his side, but then he thought about it, it would be too aggrieved if he was accepted as a concubine.

Since the noble and the lowly do not intermarry, the first thing is to give them an identity, which is why he begged his uncle Liu Zhi. In the marriage system of the Tang Dynasty, there was another special stipulation that future generations did not know much, that is, the "wife" system.

For example, the two sisters of Emperor Yao's daughter, Empress E and Nuying, are married to Emperor Shun, which is a wife and a wife. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a "wife" system, the wife was not the only legal wife, but the status was much higher than that of the concubine, and the most important thing was that it was recognized by the law, and the husband was a formal husband and wife.

Only nobles are qualified to marry land, and there are clear rank and quantity restrictions in the law, such as the Tang Law: "Five grades, one wife and three wives". It means that a fifth-grade official can marry up to three wives.

Gu'er and Sui'er are out of the status of subordinates, and Mei Zhenyi will be able to marry in the future, and they will all be officially married. In different times, there are different ways to repay different people, which should be what Gu Er Sui'er wants the most. It's something they never dreamed of. Who would put so much thought into the two maids? If they really liked to be concubines in the future, Mei Zhenyi actually managed to give them a recognized legal status and social status!

How did Mei Zhenyi come up with these methods? Of course, he consulted Cheng Xuanhu when he was in Haozhou, and when he talked about this topic at the dinner table, Cheng Xuanhu was also very surprised, Mei Gongzi was in great trouble, how could he first think of an affair at a young age? He didn't fully understand Mei Zhenyi's mood at that time.

For Gu Er Sui'er, of course, joy fell from the sky and was suddenly hit by great happiness. It was as if I had fallen into a cloud and mist, and I almost fainted. These two maids are smart and clever, how could they not guess Mei Zhenyi's intentions, they were ashamed and happy, and they cried with joy again, and it was not easy to show it too much in front of people, in short, the kind of thinking of the daughter's family was indescribable.

The banquet of heaven and earth, Mrs. Xingyun also participated, so the table was full of vegetarian food. Very delicate and delicious. Mei Zhenyi specially invited Zhang Guo to sit at the table, but the old goblin waited for a long time before he took a seat, saying that he was staring at the back kitchen. The servant inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth, and it turned out that this table of exquisite vegetarian food was made by Zhang Guo himself.

Mei Zhenyi asked, "Elder Zhang." I didn't know you had such a good craft, as if no one in my family was a vegetarian, right?"

Zhang Guo hurriedly explained: "What kind of craft is this, it's just that I occasionally learned a few dishes, and today my master is here." I went to the kitchen and stared at it for a while. ”

As a result, the mouthy subordinate said: "Steward Zhang has been practicing his cooking skills hard for the past year, and every time Master Xingyun eats at Qiyunguan, the vegetarian food is made by the housekeeper himself." ”

Zhang Guozhi, who said this, coughed, scolded a lot, and hurriedly let his subordinates out. Master Xingyun said: "Thank you so much Steward Zhang, I have come to Qiyunguan so many times, but I don't know that every vegetarian meal is made by the housekeeper himself, and the poor nun is really uneasy!"

Zhang Guo's old face was slightly red. Hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Mrs. Shi is a noble person, I am afraid that the vegetarian food made by people is not authentic, and I have inadvertently desecrated Mrs. Shi's elegance, so I did it myself, it should be, it should be." ”

Mei Zhenyi watched from the side and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Zhang Guo had already known what Master Xingyun was thinking about, and now he didn't dislike Zhang Guodi's kindness when he saw Master Xingyun. - Alas. It's a pity that Mrs. Shi is a nun. It's hard to say some things, otherwise I really want to match them!

After the feast was dispersed. Xingyun Shitai said goodbye and wanted to go back to Cuiting Nunnery, Mei Zhenyi specially instructed Zhang Guo to send it, and ordered him to send Shitai to the temple gate all the time before he could come back.

Gu Er Sui'er's identity is different, but Mei Zhenyi did not change into a personal maid, and her daily life is still taken care of by two "cousins". The other subordinates in the family also understood what was going on, and they all changed their words to call Gu'er and Sui'er Miss, maybe they will be called Mrs. Gu'er and Mrs. Sui'er in a few years.

It feels so good to be home, even a bed and a chair are so familiar and intimate. That night, Gu Er made the bed with the lamp and Sui'er, the two girls were flushed, and they didn't dare to look at the young master when they looked down, and they didn't leave after making the bed and stood there to stop talking. Mei Zhenyi pulled one hand in front of him and said, "Don't you know how to call me?" ”

Gu Er snorted: "Then let's call us young master as before, we are used to it, and we can't change it." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "If you like to call it that, just call it that, and I'll change my mouth in the future." ”

Sui'er lowered her head and said weakly, "Does the young master have any other orders?"

Command? This is almost sleep, what else is there to command, holding his little hand and laughing: "I'm fine, you go and rest, you haven't had a good night's sleep for so many days, right?

Mei Zhenyi is fourteen years old this year, his physical development is quite good, and he should understand the affairs of men and women - in fact, he already understood it before he crossed over. Looking at a pair of beautiful girls under the lamp, I also felt a little itchy in my heart, but unfortunately it was not the time. Sun Simiao had long taught him that "you can't want early", of course it is too early for a man to be fourteen years old, and Zhong Liquan was even more straightforward, and directly set a precept for him - a color precept.

Although I couldn't eat it yet, I looked comfortable, so I coaxed the two girls for a while and told them to rest. Mei Zhenyi still came to Qiyuntai to sit and practice in the middle of the night, and he had traveled thousands of miles in the past month, but the cultivation of internal and external kung fu had not fallen for a day, and the first day he went home was the same.

The next day, Mei Yi went to Wuzhou Mansion, one was to thank him, and the other was to cancel the case. Many officials in Wuzhou heard that the eldest son of Nan Lu Gong had returned unharmed, and they all wanted to come to the door to congratulate, Mei Yi said that the young master was a little frightened and closed to recuperate, and he could convey his greetings.

There is no need to say much about the trivial matters at home, three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is time to meet Qingfeng and Mingyue as promised.

On the afternoon of this day, Mei Zhenyi took Zhang Guo, Mei Yi, and Tiyo who came to join in the fun, and the two of them came to Qingyi Lake. Zhang Guo and Ti Yuzhuan were very curious, they didn't know where that pair of fairy children was sacred, and Mei Zhenyi had warned them in advance, just stay on the sidelines, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do.

As soon as the four of them stood still by Qingyi Lake, they saw a boy in a feather coat with clear eyebrows, holding an innocent and lovely little girl, stepping on the lake waves. When he walked to the shore, he didn't salute, and Qingfeng said: "You are really trustworthy, exactly three days." ”

Mei Zhenyi didn't talk nonsense, took something from Zhang Guo's hand, walked to Qingfeng and unfolded it: "This is the atlas of Jiulian Mountain, along with the title deed, which mountain did the two fairy children choose?"

Qingfeng didn't look at the picture but looked at him and asked, "If I take a fancy to the mountain in front of me, will you move the Taoist temple away?"

Mei Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, this was an unexpected question, and replied with a smile: "Qiyun Peak is very large, the back mountain valley is very deep, Qiyun Temple is not on the main peak, but on the mountainside by the lake. If the fairy child cultivates in the mountains, there should be no disturbance. ”

Qingfeng: "I mean, if I let you move, will you move?"

Mei Zhenyi said helplessly: "If you want me to move, I can discuss with the master of the temple and build another Qiyun Temple by the lake under the mountain, but it is best not to do so, there was a place where my ancestor Sun Simiao hung the pot to help the world, if you can keep it, I am grateful." ”

Mingyue had been staring at Tiyo curiously, as if she was very interested, and interjected at this time: "Don't worry, I don't like this mountain." ”

It turns out that they didn't take a fancy to this mountain, when did Fairy Child Qingfeng learn to tease you? Mei Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the atlas and asked, "It turns out that Fairy Child is joking with me, which mountain did you choose?"

Qingfeng: "It's not a joke, it's just that I didn't choose this mountain, even if you choose, you don't have to worry, the Taoist temple is where your ancestor hangs the pot, and he won't force you to move away, I'm not an unreasonable person." ...... What kind of land is this land lease?"

Mei Zhenyi explained: "This is a certificate of the world's wealth and property, which proves who owns this mountain. ”

Qingfeng: "I don't need this, I just borrow a dojo to practice, and the mountain is still yours." ...... I want this mountain. ”

Which mountain will they pick, Mei Zhenyi probably knows in his heart, ten ** is the local peak of the earthly vein dragon tail rolled up in Qingyi Lake, if you want Mei Zhenyi to see, it is also the most suitable place to practice in Jiulian Mountain. However, Qingfeng's hand pointed in the other direction and stopped at the other end of Jiulian Mountain.

"Jingting Mountain!" This result was unexpected by Mei Zhenyi.

Qingfeng: "It's called Jingting Mountain? Yes, it's this mountain, this mountain Mingyue likes it, and it also has a relationship with me." ”
