Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Love of the Rivers and Lakes
After leaving Jinling, Mao Zheng took Jingruo away from the rivers and lakes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe new law was repealed, Wang Anshi also died, and many officials who supported the new law were attacked. Mao Zheng was sad and indignant in his heart, and he couldn't see the things in the court, so he had to put his affection on the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, with his beloved by his side, looking at Jingruo's happy smile, Mao Zheng's mood was much better.
Mao Zheng's route was not random, but along the river all the way to the west, wanting to reach Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, which is a resort of the Heavenly Master Road. The fight between Mao Renzhuo and Liu Yushi a few years ago was the last image of Mao Zheng. Mao Zheng waited in Jinling City for more than a year, and he didn't wait for any news about Mao Renzhuo, Wen Xiaohui and others, so he had the idea of asking Liu Yushi for a clear idea. Mao Zheng thought that with his status as a jinshi, Heavenly Master Dao should not embarrass him, even if he encountered danger, with the angry knife he had cultivated, he would definitely be able to retreat with his whole body.
After passing Wushan, Mao Zheng and Jingruo came to the boundary of Sichuan, looking at the gradually flattening terrain, looking back at Wushan and Dajiang, there is really a different feeling.
"Oh, I finally came out, the previous part of the road was too difficult to walk, but I was tired. However, the scenery there is not bad, and the aura is sufficient, so it would be good if you could stay there and cultivate. Jingruo said.
"It was really nice to stay there. After all, 'once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud', you can follow your beloved, even if it is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, it is also a unique taste. Mao Zheng said lightly, retracted his gaze after speaking, and looked at Jingruo.
"I know that this poem was written by a poet named Li Shangyin in the previous dynasty, that is, when you see a good one, you don't take anything else into account. It's like I ate the buns made by the proprietress and didn't like anything else. However, after leaving Jinling City, I can no longer eat the boss's steamed buns, which is a pity. Jingruo said with some pity.
"When you see a good thing, you don't pay attention to anything else, and that's true. But the buns are ...... Haha, Jingruo has a lot of Sichuan food, many dishes are very famous, if you eat it, you won't think about the boss's buns. Mao Zheng said with a smile.
"No, I ate other delicious food, and I will remember the boss's buns. Well...... Let's stop staying here, let's get out of here. By the way, do you think there will be good food in the town ahead?" Jingruo shook her head vigorously, expressing her love for the proprietress Baozi. But when he saw a town in front of him appear in the sky, he swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but run over.
"Jingruo is not in a hurry, you still take the car, let's go together. But Mao Zheng's voice did not fall, and Jingruo had already run away. Mao Zheng thought that if Jingruo's cultivation was not weak now, and there was a jade shielding aura, there should be no problem, so he sat back in the car, picked up a book, and let the frame slowly move forward.
When approaching the town, a burst of firecrackers came, and Mao Zheng lifted the curtain and looked at it, it was a team of people welcoming relatives. The bridegroom, dressed in bright red new, rode on his horse and bowed his hands to the people around him. The bride in the sedan chair lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, lifted a corner, looked at the back of the groom, and after looking at it, the other hand reached under the hijab, as if laughing, and then stretched her hand back, letting the curtain cover everything.
Mao Zheng saw Jingruo following the group of children behind the greeting procession, clapping his palms and smiling happily. But suddenly she stopped, stood on the side of the road, the smile on her face was replaced by a thoughtful look, and finally she couldn't help but wipe her eyes with her hands, as if she was a little sad.
"Jingruo, why are you crying, do you have anything sad?" Mao Zheng walked up to Jingruo and said.
"I'm wondering when I'll be able to sit in a sedan chair in the future. I don't know why, I always feel like I don't have a chance. Jingruo said with tears in her eyes.
"Why don't you have a chance? I'm here, and I'll be with you all the time. As long as you can cultivate to adulthood, I will marry you right away. Mao Zheng said.
"But what if I can't cultivate as an adult?"
"No, I've checked a lot of ancient books, and the methods I'm looking for you are the best, and there will be absolutely no problems. Could it be that you have made a mistake in your cultivation?" Mao Zheng asked with concern.
"There is no problem with the cultivation methods you have handed over, and my cultivation has improved very quickly, I can feel this. But if I don't want to cultivate, I don't want to become an adult, then what will you do?" Jingruo said as she looked at Mao Zheng.
"This ...... Is there anything wrong with being a man?" Mao Zheng's voice was slightly sluggish, obviously not expecting Jingruo to ask such a question.
"Nothing bad. Of course, it is very good to be cared for and loved. Okay, I'm tired of walking, and I want to take the car in the future. Jingruo said, pushed Mao Zheng, smiled and returned to the carriage.
Mao Zheng's expression was a little dazed, he watched Jingruo return to the carriage, looked at the blue sky and took a deep breath, and thought in his heart: "Do I still have anything to give up? I don't care about fame and fortune for a long time." The teacher's legacy, I will find a few talented students to pass it on in the future. Officialdom, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go back in the future. In that case, why do you have to live so hard? Being a human being, not being a human being, and being at ease is the best. Mao Zheng thought so, but the stuffiness in his chest did not disappear.
Back in the car, Mao Zheng picked up the flute, closed his eyes, and played a tune with his heart. Something in the tone, who knows?
"I know, I get it all. I'm sorry, but I won't embarrass you again in the future. I will cultivate hard, and I will definitely be a good person in the future. Jingruo hugged Mao Zheng's arm and said.
"Jingruo, I was wrong too. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can cultivate as an adult or not. It's because I have a mustard in my heart that I can't smile happily like before. Since I can't be like my teacher, become the prime minister of the dynasty and display my ambitions above the temple. Then we should pursue a free and easy life, why should we be bound by those useless things? Jingruo, you are my closest person now, with you, I shouldn't have too many scruples. Mao Zheng said, and finally reached out and hugged Jingruo into his arms.
"Really? That's great. I'm afraid that you'll be like everyone else, and you'll dislike me for not knowing the rules in the future, and you'll ignore me. Jingruo said.
"How can it be? In the rivers and lakes, there are not so many rules. Mao Zheng said with a smile.
"However, I remember that other people were not so hugging. That's how you should be. Jingruo said and lay in Mao Zheng's arms and put Mao Zheng's hand in front of her.
"Others, have you ever seen someone hugging someone?" Mao Zheng asked.
"I saw it in Jinling City. Of course, I saw it secretly, and I wondered why you didn't hug me like that? Jingruo said.
"This ...... You've seen a lot of things. I haven't seen any ......."
"You're a nerd, what have you ever seen, and though you've read a lot, I've seen more than you. ”
"Don't look at it, do you think I can't see it, I just don't see it. It's here, let's eat first. Well, there's a lot of people here, can you let go of your hands first?"
