Bright Moonlit Night

After many days of hard work, Fu Ming was finally able to sleep soundly. When he woke up, Jin Yi was no longer on the bed. Looking away, he saw that he was changing clothes, thinking he had returned from practicing sword.

Fu Ming sat up, Jin Yi noticed the movement, and walked over while tying his clothes, sat down beside the bed, held Fu Ming's hand and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Ming met his gaze, feeling a little shy, but a deeper feeling of joy and satisfaction. He shook his head and replied, "It's okay." Then he asked, "What time is it?"

Jin Yi caressed his messy sleeping hair, and replied: "The time has just passed."

Fu Ming looked out of the window, and sure enough the sun had already risen.He was about to call the maids to go upstairs, but Jin Yi stopped him.

"I'll wash up for you." Jin Yi said, and brought Fu Ming to the dressing table, handed him water and twisted the handkerchief, buttoned his cloak, picked up the comb in front of the mirror, and lightly smoothed Fu Ming's black hair .

Fu Ming looked at Jin in the mirror with a concentrated expression, and suddenly thought, did he serve his wife like this in the past?He couldn't help but think of the entrustment of his late wife, and wondered whether Jin Yi still cared about what he entrusted to his late wife but failed to achieve.

Seeing Fu Ming frowning slightly, Jin Yi stopped his movements and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Fu Ming suppressed the thoughts he shouldn't have, and replied: "It doesn't hurt." Then he said, "That's it. I won't go out today, I'm too lazy to tie my hair and wear a crown."

Jin Yi knew that although Fu Ming said that he was in good health, he would feel unwell to some extent, and it was really not suitable to go out.

So for the next whole day, Fu Ming would drink tea and read a book in his room with his light shirt on and his long hair hanging down like this.Jin Yi went out for a while, came back soon, and stayed by Fu Ming's side almost all day long. The more he looked at Fu Ming's idle attitude, the more he couldn't let go of his eyes.During this period, a visitor came to visit, but Jin refused to meet him on the grounds that Fu Ming suffered from the cold last night.

After recovering, Fu Ming and Jin Yi took a stroll in the mountains.

"If you want to come to this Cuiwei Mountain, it should not only have pleasant scenery in summer, but also soft and fresh green in spring, blooming mountain flowers, red and yellow in autumn, wild geese flying across the sky, silver frost and white snow in winter, green pines and green bamboos. Unfortunately, it has good scenery from time to time. But I can’t come here often.” The more he lingers here, the more Fu Ming loves it and cannot part with it.

Jin Yi took people halfway and said: "Although Cuiwei Mountain can't come often, there is more than one good mountain. If I have time in the future, I will go to other places with you to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons in the mountain."

Hearing this, Fu Ming said with a smile: "I remember it. Master also remembers, you owe me Routiao, you owe me Hongye, you owe me Baixue."

Jin Yi also smiled, "I will pay you back one by one."

Although the two of them have a good time, this time they are with the third prince after all, as long as the third prince invites them, they will not refuse.

Although the third prince is not a person who likes to feast, but he lives here in the mountains and has a lot of leisure time, so he invites everyone to have a meeting every now and then, or to listen to music and watch a play.

Qushui Liushang was originally an activity to ward off disasters and pray for blessings in ancient times. It has been passed down to this day and has become an elegant gathering for literati who compose poems and drink wine.A few days ago, when shooting in the palace, the warriors stole the limelight.This time, it is time for learned people to show their talents.Although Fu Ming was once famous for his poetic talent, this time his performance was mediocre.

After the banquet, Jin Yi asked Fu Ming, "Are you still uncomfortable? Next time, you won't come to this kind of literary meeting. Let me explain a few words for you. The third prince will not blame you."

Fu Ming smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I'm not feeling sick. The reason why I deal with it casually today is not because of my body."

Jin Yi was puzzled, "Why is that?" Then he seemed to sense the reason and looked at Fu Ming.

Fu Ming nodded and said: "You and I have done enough in the previous performance, and it is too late."

"So you are hiding your clumsiness?" Jin Yidao, "In this way, I should reduce my harvest in the future shooting and hunting."

"Shooting?" Fu Ming smiled, "I guess, you don't have to hide your clumsiness this time."

"Why?"

Fu Ming only said: "Let's see, Lord."

One day later, Jin received a message from the third prince's entourage and canceled the shooting.

Jin Yi asked Fu Ming: "You already knew yesterday that the hunting will definitely not proceed as scheduled?"

Fu Ming nodded.

"How do you know?"

Fu Mingdao: "Master once told me why your friend An Jing was promoted."

"Jingzhi is good at satirizing and admonishing, and most of his suggestions and suggestions are accepted by the court, so he was appreciated by the sage and was promoted."

"Since that's the case, this time—I guess—he will persuade King Xin to give up hunting."

Jin Yi thought for a moment and understood, "In summer, when all things grow, it really shouldn't be the time to kill."

Fu Ming said: "My minister is benevolent and the prince is enlightened. It will be a good talk when this matter is brought back to Beijing." Fu Ming even suspected that this matter might have been a drama from the beginning, but he did not say anything.

Just when Fu Ming was silent, when Jin put his hands on his shoulders suddenly, he turned his head to look at the person behind him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

Jin Yi hugged him and said, "It's a pity for a person like you to marry me."

He is full of poems and books, and if he goes to the examination room, he will be a Jinshi.He is aware of the situation, and he is like a fish in water in the officialdom, and he is promoted to a noble.Now, he is just the son-in-law of the Jin family, with no fame and no future to speak of.Jin Yi cherishes talent, which makes the people in his arms feel even more distressed.

But Fu Ming laughed and said, "You don't have to be like this. A swallow holds a fish in its mouth, and each has its own reasons. This is what my father taught me long ago. When I was young, he pointed to the fallen flowers in the yard and told me these things. At that time, I couldn’t understand it, but I gradually understood it. My nurse told me that what my father often said was that you can’t decide where fate will let you go, but you can settle down by yourself.” Fu Ming turned around, Hugging Jin Yi back, he raised his head and asked, "Your shoulders are broad and your chest is broad, can you allow me to settle down in this life?"

Jin Yi's heart was turbulent, with never-before-seen emotions constantly surging, attacking his chest, which not only made him hurt, but also made him feel full of pride. His throat rolled a few times, and he replied: "Of course." Four words, But if there is a chance, it is his most unshakable determination in this life other than kneeling in the ancestral hall to face his ancestors and expressing his lofty ambitions.

The years in the mountains are like the wind, passing by in an instant.In a few days, he will leave for Beijing.

Fu Ming said with a smile: "Leave the old lady and Yan'er behind for dozens of days. If you don't bring some souvenirs back here, it may be difficult for you to enter the house."

Jin Yidao: "There is no market in Cuiwei Mountain, where can I buy souvenirs?"

"I've already made up my mind about this matter, Lord, let's see how it goes." Fu Ming will plan to talk about it one by one:

"Isn't there a glass temple here? The old lady bowed to the Buddha, let's go and ask for a string of Buddhist beads for her. There are many herbs and flowers in the mountains. My master will accompany me to pick some. After drying, I will make a sachet, which can be given to sister Yanlan and her husband." Miss Xinyue. As for Yan'er, the giant tree that was broken by lightning the day before yesterday, I went to the third prince to ask for a wooden sword. Let's make a wooden sword for Yan'er. Yan'er can also start practicing martial arts. These Although they are not precious things, they can also express your heart.”

Jin Yixin readily agreed, and said with a smile: "That's very good, you have a heart."

Before the return journey, the two got busy because of this, worshiping Buddha and praying for pearls, making incense and carving swords, and spent the last few days amidst the verdant greenery of Cuiwei Mountain and the melodious singing of birds.

On the return carriage, Fu Ming was sorting out and revising the "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" he had compiled before, and asked Jin Yidao: "The king of Xin is escaping the summer heat this time, is it to avoid suspicion?"

No matter what Fu Ming asked, Jin Yi felt that there was no need to be surprised, so he replied with a normal expression: "Exactly. Last year, the crown prince was in charge of disaster relief in Tanzhou. Establishing a meritorious temple for him violated the taboo of the Holy One. This time, the prince will have evil fruits to eat."

"If it's just to avoid suspicion, King Xin didn't need to spend so much time to keep so many people away for so long. Is there something else hidden about this matter?"

"Well, it should be." Jin Yidao, "The Holy Majesty is becoming more and more suspicious now. The third prince's actions this time may be open and honest to the Holy Majesty, and he is also advancing by retreating."

"However, there are reservations about being open and honest. These people are definitely not the only ones under King Xin." Fu Ming said firmly.

Jin Yi nodded, and said in a low tone: "I think so too, but it's hard for me to see clearly the situation between North Korea and China."

Fu Ming put down the score in his hand, put his hand on the back of Jin Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "I am a dignified general, and it is the character of a warrior who does not want to participate in this strife. My domain should be in the vast battlefield."

Jin Yi also laughed when he heard the words, "In the future, I will take you to the northern border. When I was a child, I went there with my grandfather. The sky is vast and the land is vast, and I am very happy to gallop on horses."

"Okay." Fu Ming raised his eyebrows, "Before that, I will definitely practice riding well."

The author has something to say:

"Swallows hold fish in their mouths can be thick, and mud, dirt and moss can cover each other for their own reasons" comes from Chen Baochen's poem about falling flowers in modern times.I like this song very much, and because this article is empty, I quoted it privately~
