Chapter 100: On the Road
The willows are green and drooping on the ground, and the flowers are flying in the sky.
The wicker is broken and the flowers are flying, and the pedestrians are asked if they will return.
Outside Hangzhou, in the ten-mile long pavilion, Li Gongfu and his wife said goodbye to Xu Xian and complained to each other.
The ten-mile long pavilion has been a farewell place since ancient times. Long pavilions, ancient roads, willows, fine wine, etc., are indispensable things in farewell poems.
In Li Shutong's poem "Farewell", it is highlighted:
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A gourd of wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. Ask you when you will come, and don't linger when you come.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations.
Not everyone can achieve Zhuangzi's freedom between life and death and parting.
The allusions of him doing "Getaway" and dreaming of butterflies are well known to the world. It's just that people in the world don't know whether Zhuang Zhou turns into a butterfly, or a butterfly turns into Zhuang Zhou, whether it is a dream like life, or life is like a dream. Or, in fact, Zhuang Zhou is a butterfly, and a butterfly is also Zhuang Zhou; life is a dream, and a dream is also life, right?!
This exclamation, of course, was not born by the three of them. Rather, it is the comfort of the side, and there is a feeling.
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
In fact, sometimes, we don't need to be involved in one thing, just like other people's lives, we shouldn't get involved.
Each person can only be the protagonist in his life, and in the lives of others, he can only be a passerby. No matter how long you stop. Still a passerby.
In this way, it is better to be a visitor than a passerby.
Look at other people's lives. Feel the truth in your heart.
The spectator and the protagonist are not clearly divided. Because, we are always changing between the viewer and the protagonist, unconsciously.
Just like now, An Yi is both a spectator and the protagonist in this farewell. Because, he also has to leave with Xu Xian.
After his previous persuasion. The Xu family worshipped Xu Xian as a teacher, and he no longer rejected him in his heart. It's just that Xu Xian promised her that she must leave an heir for the Xu family.
Xu Xian naturally did not refuse.
Maybe in his heart. Staying with Bai Suzhen has become his wish at this time.
In this way, because An Yi has not yet completely created the exercises, he naturally has to follow Xu Xian. It will be easy to teach in the future.
This time he did not refuse the title of master and apprentice. One is because, after all, it takes a lot of effort to create a zĂ o exercise, and if it is given away in vain, he is not willing. Second, it is because there is a proper reason to follow Xu Xian, study it closely, or observe, and observe the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. Will it spoil in the end.
This purpose does not sound good to say. But if you don't act for any purpose, is that unreasonable?
But if it is in line with common sense, it is inevitable that he will deviate from the truth, in fact, what he thinks in his heart, outsiders cannot know at all. Later generations are ignorant, so they can only speculate and remember.
......
Outside the long pavilion, the spring breeze blows the willows, and the sun is shining. Xu Shi held his brother's hand, tears dripping, and asked him how to take care of himself on the road.
The mother of the son Xing Qianli is worried, although the Xu family is a sister, but Xu Xian was raised by her since she was a child, and there is not much difference between her and her son. And now Xu Xian is matched to Suzhou, which is two or three hundred miles away, how can she be reluctant.
After instructing Xu Xian, he asked for comfort for a while, so that he could take care of it more in the future. After all, now, he has the identity of a master.
An Yi nodded and smiled, and said, "Madam, don't worry, since Xu Xian is my disciple, Poor Dao will naturally not let him be wronged and suffer losses." What's more, there are two big brothers on the road, horses and cows, escorting, and they will not be in danger. â
Ma Hou and Niu Dazhu listened to this, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, your brother is our younger brother, if there is danger along the way, even if we die ourselves, we must protect him." â
Xu said: "So thank you to the two brothers, when Hanwen arrives in Suzhou, you come back quickly, call your father-in-law brother, and then entertain the two brothers." â
Li Gongfu nodded hurriedly and said, "That's true, today I wanted to invite the two brothers to the Peacock Mansion to have a drink, but I have no choice but to be on official business, so I don't dare to burden you and delay, so as not to be punished by the county lord." But if you come back, you will have a drink with your two brothers to show you the kindness of taking care of your wife and uncle, and the brothers must not refuse!"
Niu Dazhu said: "Brother, don't worry, it will naturally make you break the bank!" After speaking, he laughed.
This is also to make Li Gongfu feel relieved, after all, if the oil and salt really don't enter, it will inevitably make people suspect that they have ulterior motives and will make some small moves on the road.
In this way, although this ox pillar has a generous face, it is very careful. The knowledge of this world is not something that can be understood by reading two books. The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article!
Sure enough, when Li Gongfu heard this, he also laughed, raised the turbid wine in his hand, clinked glasses with each other, and watched several people leave.
The long road is far away, and the eyelashes of the cockroach and mosquito are difficult to see.
Xu Xian turned back three times in one step, extremely reluctant, until he could no longer see the figure of his brother-in-law and sister, he turned around, was sullen, and walked with his head buried in his head.
Ma Hou comforted on the side: "The prime minister of the Xu family doesn't have to be sad, three years will pass in a flash, not to mention, the distance between the two places is not too far, if there is really anything, your brother-in-law and sister will come to see you." â
Xu Xian nodded in thanks, but his interest was still not high.
Seeing this, Ma Hou comforted him a few more words, and then stopped talking. On the long road, the figures of the four people gradually drifted away.
At noon, several people were thirsty and tired, and seeing that they could no longer walk, a forest suddenly appeared in front of them. The smoke cage fog lock is extraordinary.
Niu Dazhu said: "Xu Xianggong, An Daochang, let's go there to rest, and then leave after lunch!"
Ma Hou also echoed on the side, and said: "Yes, it is only three or five days away from Gusu here, so there must be no danger, and the county master gives us fifteen days, so we don't need to go too fast." â
Xu Xian was already tired at this time, and he had been immersed in love before, but at this time, the love had gone down. I felt that my legs were sore and my feet hurt, and my eyes looked at the comfort who hadn't yet expressed my position as if I was asking for help.
In any case, An Yi is now his master. This part of respecting the teacher's heavy path, Xu Xian still cares very much.
Seeing this, An Yi smiled and said, "Since the two poor brothers said so, then let's go over." â
The group was already very close to the woods at this time, and they walked while talking, and after a while they entered the woods.
In addition to comfortably empty-handed, the three people carried luggage packages on their backs. They untied it and threw it next to the root of the tree, shouting, "Heh!", and their bodies fell. Sit down against a tree.
After that, they unwrapped the packages one after another and took out water and dry food to drink. Xu Xian saw that he was comfortable and did not move, and hurriedly stood up. Move to his side. He raised the dry food in his hand and said, "Please drink it, Master!"
An Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry." â
Xu Xian wanted to let him go again, and Niu Dazhu over there shouted with a smile: "The prince of the Xu family, I'm afraid that An Daochang has not reached the realm of eating and drinking, right?
When Xu Xian heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate. He said in his heart: "Master used to eat food at my house, why don't you need to eat it when you come out? Could it be that the dry food is stiff first?" Thinking of this, he looked at the hard dry food in his hand. I couldn't help but say: Yes!
Suddenly, I thought that there were a few strips of bacon in the package, which were prepared by my sister. Make yourself eat on the road. But I forgot about it before. Thinking about it now, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to bring it to An Yi.
Unexpectedly, at this time, An Yi spoke, but replied to Niu Dazhu: "What you said is not true, this meal is just a small realm after the foundation is built, and there are many Taoist priests in the world who have learned, and the poor Taoist will naturally do it." It's just that the mistake is that this meal is not that you can't eat human food. â
Hearing this, Xu Xian was even more convinced of his previous thoughts, turned around and said: "Master, wait a minute, if Master is not used to eating dry food, my sister also prepared two bacon for me before leaving, and I forgot about it for a while, so I will bring it to Master, and I hope Master will not blame it." â
An Yi rolled his eyes and said in his heart: Is it obvious that I am looking good?!
But he really didn't like to eat this, so he said in his mouth: "No need, I'm really not hungry, you take it out and share it with Ma Hou and them!"
As he was talking, he heard a creaking sound from a distance, getting closer and closer, and when he got closer, he saw a bright carriage slowly passing by.
The groom who drove the car was a man in his forties, and he couldn't help but look at it twice when he saw An Yi and his party, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.
With this distraction, the carriage naturally slowed down. At this moment, several white jade fingers opened the curtain of the carriage, and a beautiful face appeared, looking curiously at the side of the road.
Seeing someone on the side of the road, the beauty panicked in her eyes, hurriedly put down the curtain, and reprimanded in her mouth: "Uncle Zhong, why don't you tell me if someone is outside!" Suddenly, it seems to make people soften half of their bodies.
The groom, who was called Uncle Zhong by the beauty, had no change in his face, but a touch of love flashed in his eyes, and he admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I originally planned to rest here for a while before leaving, but since the eldest lady doesn't want to, let's go directly...... "After speaking, he slapped the horsewhip and added the itinerary.
The carriage was far away, but there was an aftermath that echoed in everyone's ears......
"If Uncle Zhong is tired of driving, then rest here for a while, it's a big deal, I just don't get out of the car......"
"Haha, what's going to happen then...... the horseman's heroic voice sounded in the distance, muffling the girl's soft voice.
Niu Dazhu looked at the carriage in the distance, and said angrily: "I don't know who the little lady is in the car, she was born with such a sign, if you can ask for a wife, I am willing to live ten years less!"
Ma Hou sneered and said, "Don't think about it, there's no hope in your dreams." But if it is Xu Xianggong, it is possible to hold the beauty. â
Xu Xian's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "Two brothers, don't talk nonsense, if you are heard, won't you cause trouble." â
Niu Dazhu snorted: "What are you afraid of, after walking so far, they still have a tailwind?"
Ma Hou also coaxed on the side, and said: "That's it, Xu Xianggong is very graceful, and that young lady is also so marked, An Dao Chang commented on it, and said if they were particularly compatible." â
As soon as the words fell, the three of them all looked at An Yi, waiting for him to answer. And An Yi himself glanced at Xu Xian meaningfully and smiled silently. (To be continued......)
