Section 9: Treading the snow without hatred

The next time, Long Qiuzhuang held a banquet for Ren Tianqi and Yang Xiong to catch the wind, and also thanked Yingguiquan, Liu Chengmin, Shaolin abbot and others for hosting the tiredness. Longqiu Zhuang gave Yang Xiong 1,000 silver and Ren Tianqi 1,000 taels of gold.

After the feast, all the guests returned to their hometowns.

Qiu Chuji didn't have a place to go for the time being, so he and Ren Tianqi and others followed Yin Kaishan, and they were in Panheng in Longqiu Village for a while.

When night fell, Ren Tianqi was lying alone in the room, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the window a few times. Ren Tianqi jumped up, reached out and grabbed the spotted bamboo sword on the table, rolled on the spot, came to the window, and leaned against the wall to listen to the movement outside.

After a long time, I heard a person outside lower his voice and said, "Fourth brother, have you slept?" It's the little sister Chuanzhu, I have something to say to the fourth brother!"

Seeing that it was the eldest lady of the Qiu family, Ren Tianqi hurriedly pushed the window, leaned over and smiled: "It's the little sister, why don't you come in and talk? It's cold outside, but don't catch a cold!"

The young lady Qiu Chuanzhu outside the window was wearing a black fur mink cloak, wearing a thick cotton hat, and holding a short sword in her hand.

Qiu Chuanzhu said with a smile: "Fourth brother doesn't have anything important, right? ”

Ren Tianqi didn't agree to Long Qiuzhuang's family affairs, and he felt indebted to Qiu Chuanzhu in his heart, and when he saw his earnest eyes and innocent face, he couldn't bear to refuse; ”

Ren Tianqi jumped out of the window and walked in the courtyard with Qiu Chuanzhu.

The snow had stopped, and there was silence all around, except for the flickering lights, and there was no other sound, and the two of them creaked and creaked on the snow.

Qiu Chuanzhu raised his head and said, "Fourth brother is Guigeng this year?"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Nineteen, didn't my little sister already know?

Qiu Chuanzhu looked up and smiled: "Little sister is also sixteen this year!"

It was dark, and I couldn't see the faces of the two of them clearly. Qiu Chuanzhu's heart was beating violently.

Ren Tianqi understood the meaning of Qiu Chuanzhu's words, and said embarrassedly: "The age of the little sister is not young, she is a little adult, and she should be sensible, right?"

Qiu Chuanzhu turned around and smiled: "But I heard that the fourth brother, you haven't finished your marriage yet?" A pair of big eyes stared at Ren Tianqi in a blink.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "It's not married, but I already have someone I want, and I have brought it back to Renjiabao!"

Qiu Chuanzhu turned around and said quietly: "I heard that he is still a county lord?"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Is it the county lord, to be honest, the foolish brother didn't care much in his heart." As long as you love each other, it's fine. The grace of the old prince, the favor of the county lord, the foolish brother will not forget it in this life!"

Qiu Chuanzhu heard that there was no hope, and said quietly: "Yes, who called Xiaomei a flat-headed commoner who is nothing! ”

Ren Tianqi blamed: "Little sister can't talk nonsense, so as not to make the old owner and the third brother unhappy." What kind of place is Longqiuzhuang, one of the four richest villages in the world, and it is envied by 10,000 people! I want you to open your mouth for food and stretch out your hands for clothes since you were a child, and you have no worries about your life, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, this is what the vast majority of people in the world have been busy and pursuing all their lives, and others envy you too late! What is there worse than being in a princely house? Besides, the princely house is as deep as the sea, and you don't know how many rights and wrongs there are!"

Ren Tianqi paused for a moment and said with a smile: "You must know that sometimes people can't choose, and sometimes, they have to choose in the face of different situations." What we can't choose is fate, destiny is predestined, and we ourselves are powerless, just like our birth, how can we choose, how can we choose if we are ugly and ugly, and it will make others laugh! Some things can be chosen, such as whether or not to go to school, whether to take the test for fame, which daughter-in-law to marry, which clothes to wear, these are all optional, but this is just luck, different choices are different luck. Everything depends on fate!"

Qiu Chuanzhu pouted and cross-examined: "Then why didn't the fourth brother choose my little sister? Isn't it just fate that you and I meet?"

Ren Tianqi smiled and said: "Silly girl, fate is destined, it was registered with the old man under the moon, how can it be a joke among children! Your fourth brother is destined to be the master and servant of the county lord in this life! You see, people, sometimes you can't do what you want, you have to make trade-offs." The fourth brother doesn't read much, and he doesn't know the truth, but he knows that he must know how to repay kindness, and he must not just think about himself. Besides, fourth brother, I already have a beautiful woman at home, how dare I do more and be less greedy?"

Qiu Chuanzhu said with a smile: "Look at those high-ranking officials and nobles, isn't that one full of wives and concubines? The fourth brother is an official eunuch family and a great hero in the world, so why should he stop and stick to the old customs? Besides, the fourth brother, you are favored by the county lord's lords and servants, how can you say that you have a unique love for the county lord's sister? It's just a strong word!"

Ren Tianqi said: "One person has one heart, two people have two minds, a family is half-hearted, if it is half-hearted, it will definitely make trouble, how can a family be harmonious? If there is no harmony, how can we talk about harmony and wealth, and the whole family is safe? The foolish brother originally wanted to stay with the county lord all his life, but unexpectedly, the old prince and the county lord insisted on asking me to take Dongxue as a concubine, so as to prevent me from remarrying. I'm already in a dilemma, I don't know how to deal with it, little sister, don't embarrass your fourth brother anymore!"

Ren Tianqi took retreat as advance, and blocked the mouth of the pearl with the helplessness of winter snow.

Qiu Chuanzhu sneered: "If you are wrong, why not make a mistake again and again!"

Ren Tianqi said: "Little sister's words are wrong. Didn't Confucius say that knowing one's mistakes can improve one's life, knowing that there is a pit in front of you, how can there be any reason to jump again! Besides, who is the little sister, who is the obedient girl who dominates the world, how can she marry someone who is small, and I am afraid that the people of the world will make fun of you; besides, you are the sister of the righteous brother, that is, the sister of the fourth brother, how can the fourth brother mess up the etiquette. Do you still have to follow this morality and ethics? Even if there is affection between the two people, they must not do so. ”

Qiu Chuanzhu stomped his feet and said hatefully: "How good it would be if there were no such courtesies!"

Although it is his true feelings, it is also the pimple in his heart that has been relieved.

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this." Say something else. My little sister usually only learns poetry and books, can she practice martial arts?"

Qiu Chuanzhu pulled out the short sword, and his eyes flickered, and he smiled mischievously: "Of course." Daddy is very strict, and he has long wanted to find a son-in-law who is a good man and has both civil and military skills. You look down on your little sister again, and your little sister has a hard life. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Where is it, your fourth brother is unattainable." Your fourth brother hasn't studied for a few years since he was a child, and he has traveled all over the world since he was twelve years old, and he has no ink on his chest, so he is a reckless man. ”

Qiu Chuanzhu turned his head and said: "Fourth brother, you are deceiving people! The fact that you are about four immortals in Yihongxuan has already spread all over the world, who doesn't know that you have only learned people, and your exit is a chapter!"

Ren Tianqi shook his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "Don't talk about that, it's all forced for Brother Wen, don't listen to the rumors outside." ”

Qiu Chuanzhu said with a smile: "I heard that the fourth brother is not only good at poetry, but also has a keen mind and novel ideas for couplets, and the sea and the sky are vast!"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Where has there ever been such a thing!"

Qiu Chuanzhu said with a smile: "

The northern capital is back in a dream, Feng Xi lives in the carriage, surrounded by four women.

Guangling returned at night, heard the words and laughed at everyone, Yi Xin Suping.

The deeper the love, the stronger the newcomer.

When I first met Yi Hongxuan, Fang was moved, and the two were embarrassed, only to know that my heart belonged to me.

I heard that the four immortals upstairs lived, and the art was high, and they treated the boudoir with their bodies.

The official eunuch came out, and the misfortune was redeemed, which was respected by me.

Later generations admire and look forward to beauty.

Only for the green sideburns, untie the belt, poems, piano and chess paintings, but also make fate. Isn't this the work of the fourth brother?"

Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "It was indeed done by a foolish brother." ”

Qiu Chuanzhu said: "

The red pink children's fragrant room plays the old people's love and childishness,

Chrysanthemum, yellow and green pine, cold snow, and chrysanthemum smile. What about those two sentences?"

Ren Tianqi nodded awkwardly.

Qiu Chuanzhu said sharply: "That's not possible, fourth brother, you have to compose a poem for your little sister and make up for it!"

Ren Tianqi scratched the back of his head, and was embarrassed: "As long as the little sister is happy, your fourth brother will be embarrassed." ”

Qiu Chuanzhu was so happy that he ran out, jumping and jumping in front.

Ren Tianqi smiled, stood in the snow with his sword, and watched Qiu Chuanzhu play like a child. With a sense of cherishment, such an innocent little girl in front of her will have endless sorrow once she grows up. Long Qiuzhuang is rich in the world, and has no worries about food and clothing, but after she and he got married, can it still be smooth sailing?

Ren Tianqi's eyes lit up and shouted, "Little sister, the fourth brother has thought about it." ”

Qiu Chuanzhu swept in like the wind, and said with a smile: "So fast, it won't be me, right?"

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "How can it, you listen well." ”

Qiu Chuanzhu waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "Slow down, fourth brother, you have to write it down for your little sister to remember!"

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Cheng, you wait." ”

As soon as the words fell, the person had flown out, opened the window and returned to the room, and lifted the pen in one go.

Qiu Chuanzhu had already followed, picked up the pen and ink on the table and looked at it, and saw that it was written:

Jade butterfly

The sable with sad eyebrows and lock color, the sky is blue and white, and the light is red and thin.

A curtain of wind, warm in the cooling room.

There is no trace of snow, there is no way back, the wood is green, and the courtyard is deep.

With the view of the temple, no one dances. There is only the passing of beads.

It's weird, the plum is full of spring, the Yiren are speechless, and the embroidered drapery is stubborn.

Who knows sorrow, cheeks and yellow phase thinking.

Plum blossom note, stealing melancholy, dressing table mirror, happy face.

Ancient and modern, love for a lifetime, old horses know the way?

Qiu Chuanzhu's eyes were hazy with tears, and he covered his face with a piece of paper and flew away.
