Chapter VII

Is my life up to me? Or is my life up to me or not to me? Xiang Yu was defeated by Wujiang, "If the sky dies to me, how can I do it." "I have a strong belief in the Mandate of Heaven. However, if you believe in the destiny of heaven, what can you do with your divine power and courage, break the cauldron and sink the boat, the battle of the giant deer, the world will be all to him, he is an out-and-out overlord, at that time, where is the destiny of heaven, what is the fate!

In the valley, three people were dressed up, and an old man stood in front.

"Mowgli, do you believe in fate?" the old man asked him.

"Your destiny is in your own hands. Mowgli said.

"If you can't disobey the mandate of heaven, don't be obsessed too deeply, harm others and yourself, and stop and rest if you are tired and tired. The old man patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Disciple remember. ”

"Sanjin, what about you?" the old man asked Xu Sanjin, who was elated on the side.

"I don't know what fate is, I eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm sleepy, cry when I'm sad, and laugh when I'm happy. Although fate is there, what does it have to do with me? Xu Sanjin replied happily.

The old man looked at him and smiled silently.

"Senior sister, what about you?" Xu Sanjin asked Song Wen beside him.

"I, I don't know. Song Wen replied, she really didn't know, because she had never thought about this problem, let alone leaving this valley, and her eyes were red.

"Alright, let's go. It's not early, remember, when you go to the capital, you must talk less and observe more, and don't say that you are going to play chess, let alone me. The old man instructed.

"Yes"

"Alright, let's go. My old bones can finally be cleaned. The old man coughed twice, as if something was in his throat.

"Master, Wen'er is not leaving, Wen'er is going to stay with the master, teacher-" Wen'er suddenly knelt down and said.

"Shut up, don't you think it's annoying enough for the teacher, do you want to be angry with me, go." The old man shouted.

"Master. ”

"Get out, don't get out yet!"

Song Wen got up and ran out, she didn't understand why the most painful master treated her like this, she needed to calm down, she needed to cry.

"Mowgli, three catties" The old man paused, "Eldest brother is like a father, Xiaowen I will entrust it to you." You are all grown up by me, you are all my children, you have to ...... well," the old man's voice whimpered.

"Master!" the two knelt down.

"Go, don't make me angry! Go! Go!" the old man waved his sleeves vigorously.

"Master, take care. ”

Looking at their figures as they drifted away, the old man sighed. He didn't know if this would fulfill them or harm them? From then on, he could no longer drink the tea made from the freshly picked tea leaves, and he no longer had any reason to reprimand the lazy Xu Sanjin.

The thatched hut is still there, but the things are not people, how can you get this leisure when you are idle for fishing? Although Chang'an is good, there are three people to stand on? Although Chang'an is good, who will still be there in 20 years?

Regardless of his wind blowing in the pine treetops in the mountains, it will rain in the sky, and his mother will get married, let him go!

In the past few months, the three of them have been non-stop, all the way to see the outside of the mountain, but also to see the world, to Chang'an, to Zhangfu.

The door outside the house was locked, and Xu Sanjin knocked the knocker that was buckled on the doorman, making a "jingle bell" sound. After a long time, an old man opened the door a little, looked at the three people, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Let's findβ€”" Xu Sanjin was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ouyang Wuji.

"We are the old friends of General Zhang He, a few years ago in Dengzhou we saw it at first sight, today I have the honor to come to Chang'an, come to visit. ”

At first, listening to Wuji's words, the old man didn't react, but when he heard "Dengzhou", the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You said you were from Dengzhou?" the old man asked rhetorically.

"Exactly," Mowgli replied with a smile.

"Come in and wait a minute, I'll go and report," the old man opened the door halfway and stepped out of the way.

"I'm tired. β€œ

Master, the young master has instructed that as long as you are old or say that you are from Dengzhou, please come in first. Menweng thought to himself, and hurried to find the master.

The three of them were happy to be at ease, and even happier to have a good night's sleep tonight. Xu Sanjin was even more curious, touching in the east and touching in the west, he wanted to see what the big family looked like, so he touched the tip of the tree from the root of the wall, leaned over from the top of the tree and touched the glazed tile, and suddenly, he thought of something and dug up the soil. β€œ

Song Wen saw him hurriedly pulling him up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Shhhh "Generally, big families like to hide some gold, silver, jewelry, etc. in the ground, senior sister, you also come to dig, come. Xu Sanjin looked excited.

"This" Song Wen hesitated a little, which girl doesn't like gold and silver jewelry, doesn't like to show off her dress, and then show it in front of her favorite person.

"Senior brother, what you can think of, can't others think of it?

"This-" Xu Sanjin stopped, obviously not thinking of this question, but as a senior brother, this dignity still needs to be obtained. "There are a few people like me who have such good brains, and you are not allowed to be greedy when I dig out the treasure. As he spoke, he fell down again. Suddenly, a stone flew directly towards Xu Sanjin's buttocks.

"Oh, who!" Xu Sanjin shouted loudly, his eyes quickly looked at Ouyang Wuji and Song Wen, only to see that he didn't react at all, it turned out that it wasn't him. "Who is so uneducated, I don't know that spanking people hurts, and I don't dare to admit it after beating people, so I stand up if I am a man. Xu Sanjin's words were sonorous and majestic, and he was quite satisfied.

"Who am I? It's a hillbilly. At this time, a woman's voice came from the tree, and then a figure fell, looking at its face, about eighteen or nine, although it did not look like a country or a city, its facial features were very upright, and there was some manly spirit between the eyebrows. At this time, she spoke: "

I'm a woman myself, not a man, so what else do you have to say?" the woman said defiantly.

"What does it matter to you that I dig me, I like to exercise, can't I? And it doesn't matter if you're a man or not, you have to have an explanation for spanking someone. Xu Sanjin's words are beautiful, there is a way to justify three points, and unreasonable to distinguish seven points.

"Oh, is it? Does it hurt there?" the woman asked weakly.

"Why doesn't it hurt, my butt is swollen, I don't believe it. Xu Sanjin said. After speaking, I felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, and added, "Forget it, you don't need to look at it, see that you are a woman, forget it, is there any bone-setting medicine?"

"Yo, it's all swollen, this can't be done, what if I accidentally get infected? As he spoke, he walked towards Xu Sanjin.

"You, what are you going to do!, don't come here" Xu Sanjin suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I'll show you the injury, it's not serious. The woman said charmingly.

"No, no need, no, no, it doesn't hurt" Xu Sanjin hurriedly waved his hand, he was nervous, and he stammered a little when he spoke, who is this woman?

The woman didn't care about this, she still walked towards Xu Sanjin step by step, her graceful posture was like a wriggling snake in Xu Sanjin's eyes, and she would swallow his prey in her mouth at any time.

"Girl, please stay. Ouyang Wuji said. "In Xia Ouyang Wuji, this is the senior brother in Xia. There was a lot of offense just now, and I asked the girl to have a lot, don't worry about it, Ouyang Wuji thanked me here. I saw him arch his hand and say.

"But your brother is injured and needs treatment. The woman covered her mouth and laughed.

"No, what's the matter? I'm in good health, just now. Xu Sanjin patted his chest and said.

"Really?" the woman was still so graceful, like a glass of clear wine, but did everyone dare to taste it?

"Qingqing, don't mess around" At this time, an old man said on crutches, and there was a middle-aged man next to him, and behind the middle-aged man was the doorman just now.

"Are people just joking with him, aren't they?" said that, he threw a wink at Xu Sanjin, Xu Sanjin staggered, and his face was more uncomfortable than crying. He glanced at Song Wen, how could this girl be more terrible than Song Wen, it was really not that she didn't know, she was frightened and shocked, compared with her, Song Wen was simply a lady.

"Presumptuous, the older you get, the more uneducated you are, you make trouble for me everywhere for a day, your mother wants to live...."The old man reprimanded.

"You are not allowed to mention my mother, what qualifications do you have to say that I am so big, what have you cared about, I have a brother, I have a father, but where they are, I can't see. The woman's expression was very excited. "Growing up, where were you when I cried, where were you when my mother died?" "So, my life has nothing to do with you. With that, he turned and left.

"Qingqing," the middle-aged man shouted.

"Forget it, let her go!" the old man stopped the middle-aged man who was still about to shout.

"Girl!" said Song Wen, who had not spoken.

"Huh?" the woman turned around and looked at Song Wen with interest.

"If you want to cry, you can look up at the sky so that the tears don't fall. Song Wen said sincerely.

The woman was obviously taken aback, and after a while, she said to Song Wen: "Thank you!" glanced at Xu Sanjin again, and said, "I've told you so much, I don't know what your name is?"

"I, my name is Xu Rushi. Xu Sanjin was obviously stunned, and later added: "It's also called Xu Sanjin, just call me three catties." β€œ

"Three pounds. The woman was visibly amused by the chatter and a little honest man. "Good name. My name is Miao Qingqing, just call me Qingqing. After that, he didn't turn his head, just hummed a little tune and left happily.

When my strings are broken, I will allow you to have green silk and white hair. How many people have broken their promises, thrown their oaths into the sea, and waited until the green silk turned into gray hair, and when they were faced with a desolate and lonely grave? How many people do it? How many people cherish it? How many people are nostalgic?

Ouyang Wuji's heart ached inexplicably, when Song Wen said that sentence, silly girl, this was just a word to comfort her, she would always take it to heart. What is my place in her heart? How much weight does she have in my heart? Ouyang Wuji suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, this was the first time, he was so confident before, but now, he felt a kind of frustration, he asked himself again, can I protect her and not let her be hurt?

"Ahem" The old man coughed again, his cough was very violent, watching him cough, you seem to believe that the heavens and the earth trembled. "Let everyone see the joke, blame the old man for not being able to discipline. Ahem" was another tremor of a landslide.

Mrs. Zhang laughed, and the juniors and others were ordered by the family teacher to visit the seniors Zhang. Ouyang Wuji said with a smile.

"What, Brother Bai didn't come?" the old man couldn't hide his disappointment.

"The family teacher has no intention of stepping into the world again, and is afraid of living up to the grand invitation of the Taifu, so he asked me and the other three to come to Chang'an. Wuji said lightly.

"Ahem," the old man coughed again. "Bai Yuan, don't you really plan to step into the capital one step more in your life?" the old man kept thinking in his heart.

"The person who comes is a guest, he is a white brother and a high apprentice, and he has the right to live in my Zhangfu Mansion to feel the prosperity of the capital, and it is not in vain to come here. The old man said.

"Mrs. Xie. ”

"Hey, don't be so angry, in the past, I and Brother Bai were like brothers and sisters, and we treated each other with all sincerity, although we were not brothers with the same surname, but we were not a few points apart, in this way, I am a few years younger than your teacher, so we will be called uncles and nephews" The old man looked very happy. "As for you," the old man looked at Song Wen next to Wuji, it should be a female baby, haha, then call yourself an uncle and niece. β€œ

"Uncle Xie, Uncle Zhang. β€œ

The old man's face looked very good, at least much better than he usually came, because he said a lot, and he rarely spoke, and when he spoke, he inevitably coughed.

If a person's speech is a problem, is it superfluous to live? Zhang Wenzheng has asked himself more than once, do you have to exhaust your last breath before you stop? Or is there too much nostalgia in the world, and he refuses to let go, he can't let go of his heart, and would rather live a little longer and do more?

"Zhang He, take a few junior brothers and sisters down to have a good rest. ”

"Yes. The middle-aged man replied, the middle-aged man was so burly, and it was extremely inappropriate for the old man next to him. He is like a relaxed, upright between heaven and earth, and no one doubts that he will be like the old man next to him in a few decades.

"Brother Wuji, we meet again. Zhang He walked over and said to Wuji.

"I said goodbye to the valley that day, and I never thought that we would see each other today. Ouyang Wuji said with a smile.

"I said, the virtuous brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can he be in the grass for the rest of his life?" Zhang He's eyes were like electricity, and he looked directly at Ouyang Wuji.

Brother Zhang laughed, the younger generation was just on the orders of the family teacher, and he didn't think anything about it. Mowgli ignored the aggressive gaze.

"After the chess game is over, do you have to go back?" Zhang He asked rhetorically.

"Whether it is success or failure, whether it is a loss or a win, you have to go back and give an explanation to your teacher. Ouyang Wuji said very resolutely.

"The ten-mile long street in the capital is full of flowers. There are countless literati and scholars, and there are many beautiful wines and beauties leaning on the building, don't the virtuous brothers have a trace of nostalgia?"

"The prosperity of the world is like a passing cloud, and after the wind and clouds are light, it is a dream. I'm used to being lazy, so I'd better go back and relax. Ouyang Wuji put away his smile and said word by word.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if it's going or going, aren't you in the capital now? My father is right, how can you come back in vain, I'll take you to rest first, and tomorrow I'll show you how prosperous this Chang'an is!"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Wuji said lightly, his expression was always so calm, could there really be nothing that could make him smell it?

Chang'an, is it the fireworks in the prosperous dream in the song, or is it difficult to turn back when you step here?

Sun Mansion, an old man dressed in cloth, is tending to the flowers and plants in the flower garden, the flowers and plants in the garden are thriving, this is all because of the old man's careful care. A man stood on the edge of a flower bed, as if waiting for the old man.

After a while, the middle-aged man was obviously a little impatient and said, "Father." ”

"Speak. The old man dropped a word to him.

"Three people went to Zhangfu today, saying that they were from Dengzhou. The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"Gone?" the old man asked lightly.

"It's gone. The middle-aged man replied cautiously.

"Huaiyu, what do you think of this flower?" the old man asked casually.

"It's beautiful. ”

The old man frowned.

"Fresh and refined, it seems to be colorful but not vulgar, it is really the best quality. The middle-aged man hurriedly added.

"How does it compare to the whole flower garden?"

"The name of the Oiran is well deserved. β€œ

"It is rumored that you are the first talent in the capital, and it seems that you really deserve it. The old man said with a smile.

"The children don't dare, they are all people with ulterior motives to change rumors, and they can't believe it. The middle-aged man immediately knelt down and said.

The old man obviously ignored him, and said to himself: "It's this flower, so outstanding, it's really a good product, but I don't know how to keep it in obscurity, it's rare for me to find it, and keep it now." β€œ

"Yes, father, you are as wise as a torch, and you know people well. β€œ

"But what if this flower doesn't listen to me, what should I do if I have spent so many years of cultivation and taking care of it day and night?" asked the old man.

"Thisβ€”" The middle-aged man hesitated.

Bang, I saw that the flower was uprooted and thrown to the ground.

"If you don't listen to me, what's the use of it? It's rotten and can be used as fertilizer. Remember, if you want to achieve great things, don't be indecisive, and keep interrupting. The old man said solemnly.

"Yes, the child remembers it. The middle-aged man hurriedly agreed, and his heart was beating violently at this time.

"Go down," said the old man with a wave of his hand.

"Yes"

"Also, don't kneel when you're fine, have you forgotten that there is gold under the man's knees?" the old man said lightly.

Huaiyu knows. The middle-aged man said.

The old man continued to tending to the flower bed, the one who worked hard. The flowers also live up to the trust, and they are full of vitality.

If you are not familiar with this grass and tree, how can you get a glimpse of the opportunity and win?
