Chapter 2: Dream back to Chang'an, Han Dynasty, love the past life

preface

Yu Jingqiu

Yu Dongsheng, Jin Hui is hazy, foggy.

Hanging upside down in the shadow, the green shade is idle.

Broken ripple fish thousands of lips, revealing thin shirts and urging customers.

If you want to talk to each other, the two worlds of yin and yang, convey God with your eyes.

Bring Yi hand to look forward to Yi's return, say three meals, no regrets.

The children's shirt Trojan horse, babbling, laughter for a long time.

Poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting, not for the sake of seeking, Chang'an is gloomy.

The sunset falls, how can you see it every day?

Since ancient times, fame and wealth have been something that no one is willing to give up, and no one can really cherish the plain family affection and comfortable life. The ordinary and quiet life depicted in this anonymous poem "Jade Jingqiu" is very desirable, but how many people can understand it thoroughly?

The sorrow of man.

Section 1: First acquaintance with autumn fragrance

The right village of Renjiabao is a small village, and the village has been built for more than ten years. In the village, there are only 200 or so households of the Ren family, and there are 50 or 60 households with the surname of Zhuang from outside, with a total of about 2,000 villagers; there are more than a dozen martial arts teachers, and there are 5 or 600 soldiers in the village composed of vagrants and individual tourists, which is an ordinary village in the world. The owner of the old village is surnamed Songde, the third in the family, and was the county lieutenant of Yanling County, and returned home ten years ago to support his parents. The owner of the old village used to say that the people of the rivers and lakes were called the righteous guests among the three heroes of Guangling. The old village owner has not arrived in 60 this year, he is benevolent and kind, hospitable and righteous, and often cherishes the people of the village, sympathizes with the neighbors, and everyone admires it more, and praises it as Guangling benevolence and righteousness.

Although the right village is small, the village households come to the village in an endless stream, and there is a tendency to prosper more than the general village of Renjiabao; but the financial resources, population, and products are not as strong as the general village.

Ren Songde has two sons, the eldest son, Ren Tianhui, is 26 years old, and the second son, Ren Tianqi, is 19 years old, who has not returned for seven years after going out to study art. Yesterday, Ren Mingquan, the second housekeeper who accompanied his second son to go out to learn art, came back first to report that the second son Ren Tianqi had learned something and made a name for himself in the northern country;

The whole family was overjoyed when they heard about it. Early in the morning, the old village owner asked the big housekeeper Ren Mingfeng to go out to collect the things that should be needed for the festivities; and ordered the uncle Ren Tianhui, who went home to live for a while, was busy cleaning up the courtyard and decorating the room, and at the same time sent people out of the village from time to time to watch.

The whole family was restless and panicked. The old lady was even more tearful in the backyard, not thinking about food and tea, not laughing, not crying, but kept on the ground to pay the incense to thank the master Guanyin who was furnished in the room, and from time to time called people to come to ask the uncle and the second master if they had received it. The eldest lady can speak well, and she persuaded her mother-in-law all the time, and her mouth was dry.

It was dark, everyone was waiting for dinner, the martial arts teacher on duty in the village rode into the courtyard to fly the news, and a group of unidentified people suddenly appeared outside the village to block the gate of the village, as if there was a intention to attack the village.

Everyone couldn't take care of eating, and they hurriedly came to the village to take a look, and sure enough, there were five or six hundred neat people standing in front of the village gate ten zhang, blocking the village gate in a fan shape. The people who came neither attacked the village nor talked to them, and it was dark with black lights, but the lineup was very neat.

The father and son looked at each other and understood that the people who came down from the village were officials and soldiers; what was not clear was why the officials and soldiers came, whether it was public or private, but it was not known.

The people on the village do not know what happened, it is dark and do not know the situation, they do not dare to rashly go out of the village to meet the enemy, only to strengthen the guard to respond to all changes; everyone insisted for a long time, did not see any movement of the people, leaving the uncle Ren Tianhui to sit in the battle in person, and the old village owner went back.

The moon walks in the sky, and the stars are dotted.

It's almost a day, and suddenly there are seven horses under the wall, the two sides are facing each other, just fighting, the people besieged under the wall are actually all evacuated in a hurry, Ren Tianhui is looking at the wall of the wall, silently wondering.

Ren Mingquan stepped forward and whispered in Ren Tianhui's ear: "Uncle, the person below is the second master, the people on the rivers and lakes are afraid, in Dajin Country, people call the Black Water Ghost, and there are also those called the Black Water Ghost Rider, which is very majestic." ”

Ren Tianhui's eyes lit up when he heard this, his shoulders trembled, his breathing was short, and he covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Tianqi, my brother, are you saying that the person who comes down is my brother Tianqi?"

Ren Mingquan looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he bowed his head and whispered: "The strange scream just now is the warning of our second master before he made a move." I hope that the uncle will not spread the word, and the second master will not mention this matter of going out for seven years after he comes back. ”

Ren Tianhui nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Understand, uncle, I will take care of myself, I will go to report to the old man and the old lady, and the housekeeper will prepare to open the door to welcome the second master." Brother came back so quickly. ”

Ren Mingquan nodded and smiled: "Didn't the second master not think about coming back, and his heart was like an arrow." ”

The two laughed and went downstairs.

Ren Tianqi and the others returned to the hiding place of the county lord and everyone, put away their armor and changed back into their clothes, rushed on the road again, and deliberately bypassed the main village of Renjiabao and galloped towards the village.

Before arriving at the village, there were still three or four miles away, and I saw the sound of horses' hooves in front of me hurrying, galloping to dozens of horses, and one of them shouted on the horse: "Tianqi, Tianqi, is it you? I am the eldest brother Tianhui, the elder brother Tianhui." ”

Hearing this, Ren Tianqi hurriedly threw the stirrups off the horse, hurried to meet them, and cried as he ran: "Brother, brother, I am Tianqi." ”

Ren Tianhui also dismounted and flew over.

The two brothers hugged each other, crying and jumping.

Lu Qian and the others stood still, staring stupidly, smiling, everyone was full of energy, and the tiredness of their bodies seemed to be comforted in a blink of an eye, and they suddenly felt relaxed. The cold wind is blowing, and the cold feels not very pressing. Everyone's hearts are warm.

Ren Mingquan took the horse aside, and persuaded with a smile: "Hey, I said that the two masters, they have already met, can they still run away? Are you afraid that you won't have time to talk? It's not early, you have to give the county lord and a few uncles to invite home, don't you have a hot meal at home first? ”

Ren Tianhui wiped away his tears, raised his head and smiled: "Who said no, look at this happiness and forget this reason." Everyone hurry up and get on the horse and go back to the village, go back to the village first, and then please. ”

Tianhui hurriedly greeted everyone one after another.

The crowd urged the horses forward.

The village has already opened the door of the village when it heard the news, the lights are bright, and the people in front of the village Ding stand up to greet each other.

Everyone got down and entered Dazhai and walked to their own house.

The village had already heard that the second young master had returned, and everyone took torches and lanterns to the street to welcome, illuminating the village as if it were day.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly dismounted, bowed down again and again, and thanked the villagers.

The courtyard of the Ren family has already been lit up, the four doors are opened, the courtyard is cleaned, and the road is cleaned by splashing water.

The families lined up on both sides of the gate and on both sides of the road.

The old lady of the old village, accompanied by the eldest lady and the housekeeper, stood in front of the steps and waited.

The big housekeeper's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that everyone was back, he shouted: "Old man, old lady, look, the second master is back." ”

The old village owner raised his head and looked into the distance, and sure enough, a group of people slowly came over in front of him, and hurriedly ordered: "Ignite the cannon, hurry, hurry up the cannon." ”

Firecrackers rang out in front of the door.

Ren Tianqi saw his parents standing in front of the door waiting, hurriedly picked up his robe and knelt down, walked on his knees, climbed in front of his hands, kowtowed nine times in a row, raised his head and choked up: "Dad, mother, Qi'er is back, how are you two elders? The son is back. ”

The old villager's eyes were overflowing with tears, he looked up at the sky, tried not to let tears flow, and muttered in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, my son is suffering,

My son is tired. ”

The old lady hugged Ren Tianqi and cried in the morning, with a heartfelt voice on the left and a voice on the right.

Ren Tianqi cried even more loudly in her mother's arms.

The onlookers were all moved.

The eldest lady attached herself to support the old lady, and said with a smile: "Mother, the second brother is happy for our family to come back, look at you crying!

The eldest lady glanced at her husband as she spoke.

Ren Tianhui understood, stepped forward and pulled Ren Tianqi up, and said with a smile: "Brother, hurry up, quickly invite the county lord and a few righteous brothers to enter the mansion." ”

Ren Tianqi hurriedly got up and stood up.

The old lady patted the hand of the eldest lady beside her, introduced it to Ren Tianqi, and said with a smile: "Mother is happy, where is crying." Qi'er, this is your sister-in-law. ”

Ren Tianqi lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed his head three times, and said: "The younger brother has seen my sister-in-law, and I thank my sister-in-law for taking care of the second elder on behalf of the younger brother for many years, and fulfilling the filial piety of the children." ”

The eldest lady was very happy, bent over and returned the salute, and said: "The second brother is very polite, taking care of her father and mother is a matter for the little woman, why do you need to command, how can the sister-in-law He De accept such a big gift from the second brother." ”

Ren Tianhui pulled Ren Tianqi up and said hurriedly: "Brother, they are all family members, what is not thankful, the family does not speak two words." ”

Ren Tianqi bowed his hand to the family members again, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard over the years, thank you very much." ”

Under the leadership of the big housekeeper, all the family members knelt down together and said: "The young master is polite, and the young master has worked hard." We have seen the young village master, the county lord, and the uncles. ”

The big housekeeper Ren Mingfeng is tall and fat.

The county lord of Fengyi had already gotten out of the car at that time, had already straightened out his clothes and hats, and stood quietly behind Tan Lang with four maids and six braves.

All the Zhuang Ding Zhai people are vying to see it.

Ren Tianqi turned around and invited the county lord, pointed to the old lady of the old village owner and said, "The county lord, this is the father and mother." ”

The county lord calmly walked in front of the old lady of the old village, bowed down, and said solemnly: "The little girl is full of faces, please say hello to my uncle and aunt, and wish the second elder a smile and a long life." ”

The four maids and six Yong were also busy kneeling behind the county lord, kowtowing and saying: "Our slaves have seen the old lady of the old village, and I wish the old lady of the old village a long and healthy life." ”

The old lady of the old village owner hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to support each other, smiled and said, "The county lord, please get up, good boy, you can have enough of the grievances along the way." ”

The old lady smiled at her two sons and said, "Go, go and help the children up." If you have a family, you don't need so many courtesies, and you will be free of all in the future. ”

The eldest lady and uncle also invited all the maids to be brave one by one.

Everyone saw that the old man and the old lady were as amiable and easy-going as the princess, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Ren Tianqi stepped forward again and pulled the eldest brother Ren Tianhui and invited his sister-in-law.

The county lord bowed and saluted: "I've seen the eldest brother, I've seen the eldest sister-in-law." ”

Ren Tianhui thanked him in return.

After the eldest lady returned the salute, she stepped forward to hug the county lord, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "The county lord is the county lord, petite and noble, calm and generous, not like our villagers who can't see the world, not as thick as my buttocks." I, a country man with mud legs, can be regarded as an eye-opener today, and I have seen what it means to be a relative of the emperor. I said the county lord, I hope that the county lord will be more accommodating in the future, let us a little more, don't laugh at us, don't make fun of our country people who are ignorant. ”

The county lord bowed his head shyly when he heard this.

Ren Tian Hui Lala Lady Belt.

The old lady even laughed and scolded: "Old man, aren't you afraid that you will scare the county lord by talking too much?"

The eldest lady took the county lord's hand and walked to the mansion, and said with a smile: "Look at this poor mouth, it really should be beaten, the poor family is poor and short of breath, and can't afford to stand up for the waist; ”

The county lord smiled and said nothing, and the four maids followed.

Ren Tianqi invited four more righteous brothers to introduce them to their parents and brother one by one.

The four of them wanted to kneel and salute each other as juniors.

The old village owner waved his hands, and an internal force stopped everyone.

The crowd did not dare to intervene.

The old lady of the old village repeatedly thanked him and invited him into the house one by one.

Gong Ming had already set up his clothes and hat, and without waiting for Ren Tianqi to beckon, he stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed to the old lady of the old village nine times in a row, and shouted in his mouth: "Little ** Ming, meet the two old masters, one wishes the old master good health and longevity; the second wishes the old master a family reunion, harmony and prosperity; the third wishes the old master a happy daughter-in-law, and the grandson is called the grandson of the house; the fourth wishes the people of the right village of my Ren family are strong and strong, and one day is more prosperous than the other." ”

The owner of the old village stroked his beard and even claimed that it was good.

The old lady was even more happy, stepped forward and hugged Gong Ming, and said with a smile: "Good boy, sweet little mouth, I want to give you a lot of rewards when I turn around." ”

Gong Ming turned over and thanked him, turned his knee and kowtowed to Ren Tianhui three times in a row, and said loudly: "Xiao ** Ming has seen the uncle, I wish the uncle all the way up." ”

Ren Tianhui was about to open his mouth to say that there was a reward, Gong Ming raised his head and grinned, and said: "Uncle, forget the reward, the kid still begs the uncle to reward us with a move and a half of kung fu to defend himself, lest the kid's martial arts are not good, and beating people outside will ruin the uncle's reputation, but the kid can't afford it, the kid kowtows to the uncle." ”

"Knock knock" three more rings.

Uncle Ren Tianhui was born soft-hearted, and he couldn't refuse it, so he pushed the boat down the river to send a personal favor, and said with a smile: "Okay, good boy, uncle promises." ”

Before the words fell, Ren Tianhui came out with both hands, cast the Shaolin Dragon Grip, a move with his left hand to make a move of the sea dragon Buyu, and his five fingers grabbed Gong Ming's neck;

Gong Ming's sharp eyes saw that the uncle was testing his kung fu, and he hurriedly shook his right shoulder and sneaked in, stretched out the two fingers of his right hand, and spit out the letter with a spirit snake, and went straight to the uncle's elbow numb point;

Ren Tianhui smiled, closed his hands and slapped his palms out, and his head made a move to worship the Buddha and slammed Gong Ming's head.

Gong Ming couldn't dodge when he saw it, and he couldn't force the uncle, and he didn't care if the posture was good-looking, his knees touched the ground, his feet were forced, his chest was raised and he leaned back, and an iron plate fell and dodged.

Ren Tianhui saw that he was busy withdrawing, his right hand grew violently, turned his palm into a claw, grabbed Gong Ming's chest, and stabilized Gong Ming's figure.

Gong Ming blushed and stood up.

Ren Tianhui clapped his hands and said, "Good boy, it's not bad, Uncle Ming will teach you a set of Renjiabao's Arhat Capture Eighteen Styles for you." ”
