Bright Moonlit Night

The plum blossoms are in full bloom, and after a snowfall, the fragrance is even clearer.

Jin Yi took a deep sniff of the fresh fragrance. The smell was so familiar, like a reappearance of a certain winter day, which made him almost lost his mind, and mistakenly thought that he had returned to the past where Fu Ming was still there.

But he soon woke up, and he just broke the plum branch with his own hands, put it in the porcelain vase on the desk, smiled and said to himself: "If you were here, and saw such a beautiful flower, would you draw a picture or write a poem?" a?

Unlike other literati, Fu Ming prefers plum blossoms.It is true that he loves plum blossoms, but he loves many flowers and plants. Jin Yi once found an essay written by him, saying that people in the world entrust flowers with their own feelings, so some people love peaches and plums, while others love pears Some people love chrysanthemums, some people love plums, some people love orchids... and his love for flowers is to love their respective colors, postures, fragrances, etc. There is no need for emotional sustenance, but appreciation.

Jin Yi thinks of Fu Ming's eyes, the eyes that often show appreciation should be eyes, because one can appreciate all kinds of beauty in the world, so there is always warmth and light in those eyes.

The flowers bloom sometimes, and the flowers wither as expected.

When the plum blossoms were half in bloom, Ren Lan got married.

As the elder brother, Jin Yi personally carried her out of the mansion and sent her to the bridegroom's side.

Ren Lan leaned on Jin Yi's back, and whispered something in his ear: "Brother, I'm a little bit reluctant, but I'm still happy..." She paused, "If, if Brother Ming was here, it would be great .”

A light sentence made Jin Yi's heart tremble, and when he was about to leave the mansion, he nodded slightly and replied: "Yes. You are fine, you and Brother Ming are at ease."

There are many precious items in the dowry.However, although there is one item that is a bit old and not expensive in terms of price, it is the most valued by Renlan.It is a screen that depicts the scenery of the four seasons, and there are two lines of poems written on it: All things are content to watch quietly, and the four seasons are as happy as others.

Later, every year at the beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter, she ordered people to carefully move out the screens that had been properly collected, and put them in her room, drinking tea and enjoying them, and spent the day quietly.Even her husband who is in love with her doesn't know why she cherishes this screen so much.

When Ren Lan returned home after getting married, the husband and wife were loving and considerate. The old lady was very happy to see Jin Yi, but she was slightly worried when she saw Jin Yi. Fortunately, there was a well-behaved and sensible Zhao Yan by her side, so they chatted for comfort.

The days flowed by in such an unhurried and unhurried manner, and the four seasons went round and round, and all things came into existence and died.

There have been many disasters in the south in recent years, and this year there were floods again. Jin Yi was ordered to lead the army to assist in flood control.

During the flood control period, he took the lead and was brave and fearless like risking his life.At night, a great lake burst its embankment, and he led the army to rescue people without sleep.When he rescued a young woman floating on the water and sent her back to her husband, the couple couldn't stop crying and thanked him.Seeing the reunion of husband and wife, he felt a little comfort in his heart.It may be a different way to make up for what I can no longer have in this life, to fulfill others with my own hands.

During the period of flood control and flood control, Jin Yi commanded well and saved many people. He made great contributions and was promoted after returning to the court.Jin Yi's reputation was already high, and there was an endless stream of people who came to Jin's mansion to say goodbye, but they were all dismissed lightly by the old lady.It's not that she doesn't want to, but Jin Yi doesn't want to, she thinks, there is still not enough time, maybe in a few years, in a few years, maybe she will forget about it, or don't care about it?

Time is indeed the best medicine for forgetting love.In the past, Jin Yi occasionally saw people coming in front of Fu Ming's tomb, but after a year or two, the number of people gradually decreased.But he still comes almost every holiday.

He thought, it doesn't matter if he forgets it all, he can leave Fu Ming alone in a corner of his heart, and live with him for a long time without being disturbed by anyone.

It has been nearly three years since Fu Ming passed away.

This year, there are major events in Beijing.At the prince's birthday banquet, the emperor was assassinated. Although he was not killed on the spot, the old emperor, who had been in poor health for a long time, died shortly after due to his injuries.The assassin was an actor whom the crown prince had loved for many years, and the crown prince was also implicated in it. Many people were arrested and put on trial.

Taking advantage of the power change in the Central Plains, the Xixia Kingdom outside the northwest border sent troops to invade the frontier. Jin Yi was ordered to lead the army and joined Jiang Yisun, who was originally stationed in Liangzhou in the northwest, to fight against the Xixia army.

More than two years ago, a doctor Fang came to a border town in Liangzhou, and he brought his son Fang Fan. The two opened a medical clinic here, hanging pots to help the world, and soon won the approval of the local people , so I stayed here forever.

Every morning, the door of the clinic opens.Fang Fan took a broom and swept away the fallen leaves in the courtyard. It's only autumn, and the place is already showing obvious signs of depression.Holding his broom, Fang Fan looked at the distant yellow mountains outside the courtyard. There was nothing on the mountains, only a round of daylight rising slowly.This place is very different from my hometown. There is neither a bustling market nor a beautiful scenery. Except for sparse small oases and simple towns built on top of the oasis, there are endless deserts and barren hills.But he gradually got used to it, as if the sky and land here could soothe some unspeakable and heavy emotions in his heart.The strong wind blew year after year, making him stronger, like an elm tree in the garden, gradually reducing the complex and simplifying it.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and soon after the cook they hired had finished cooking breakfast, someone came to see a doctor.

Under normal circumstances, it is Fang Fan who sees the doctor. It is not a serious illness that cannot be cured.

But not all illnesses can get better. In the face of those patients who are unable to recover, they only try to alleviate the pain of the patients so that the patients can leave with more dignity, and they can only comfort them.

The old doctor Fang is old and has a lot of experience, so he only speaks a few words when comforting others. If he meets someone who understands, he can accept it, but if the patient is younger and cannot understand, let alone accept, Fang Fan has to spend more time talking.

Occasionally, Dr. Fang would give lectures in the medical center. He is a doctor and a lay Buddhist who has practiced Buddhism for many years and has comprehended some prajna wisdom. Those who are in good health or those who are weak and sick all like to come to the medical hall to attend the lectures on the days when he lectures.

The weather in the frontier is unfavorable, the geography is unfavorable, and the people's lives are hard, so there are many believers in Buddhism and worshiping the Buddha. Doctor Fang's actions cater to the hearts of the people.

Whenever Dr. Fang gave lectures, Fang Fan would make a large pot of tea, and each person who came to listen to the lecture would be handed out a bowl.When Dr. Fang began to speak, he washed his hands and burned incense, playing the piano beside him to help.The sound of the piano is like running water, slowly flowing under Dr. Fang's Zen tone and witty words, and quietly flowing into the ears of the audience.

After a period of time, Dr. Fang became very famous in the local area and was respected by the people, even many people from nearby areas came here admiringly.

But some people said that Dr. Fang's son, Fang Fan, is actually very good at medicine, has a high level of understanding, and is also compassionate to patients. It is only because of his father that his reputation is not obvious.But no matter what his real name is, compared to the sturdy men in border towns, it is extremely rare to see such a handsome and elegant man here, so many girls in the boudoir fall in love with him.Especially those who have been diagnosed and treated by him or listened to him play the piano, they secretly have a lot of thoughts.

As a result, the medical clinic is not only full of people who come to see a doctor or listen to a lecture, but also a lot of matchmakers.But what puzzled everyone was that no matter which matchmaker came to propose marriage, they were all politely rejected by Doctor Fang and his son.Over time, a rumor spread in the town: Fang Fan was married before, but his wife died early. A master said that he ordered Rick's wife, so he swore that he would never marry again in this life.

Everyone sighed, saying that the benevolent doctor who saved countless lives could not save his own fate. The worldly affairs are so incomprehensible.But it was a pity that after that, he gradually let go of the regret, and no longer had any thoughts of marrying the Fang family.

The Fang family and his son lived a peaceful and peaceful life here for more than two years. During this period, nothing happened on the border.Until the throne was replaced, Xixia invaded.Although the Xixia soldiers have not yet reached this point because of General Jiang's persistence, people's hearts are beginning to feel uneasy.Later, when they heard that the imperial court had sent General Jin to lead the army to support, everyone began to look forward to it.

Today, when Fang Fan was writing prescriptions, he always heard two or three patients get together and talk about the General Jin sent by the imperial court.Although this place is far away from the imperial city, the Jin family has made a fortune for a long time, and the old general Jin has a great reputation. Now the young general Jin who is in charge of the family is not disgraceful to the generals, even the poor people have heard of it.

Fang Fan slowly considered the prescription, listening to other people's discussion intentionally or unconsciously, his expression was normal.

After a while, he handed the prescription to the patient in front of him, and explained: "Grab the medicine according to this prescription, decoct it with water, take a bowl in the morning, noon and evening, and return to the doctor three days later."

The patient took the prescription, paid the money and thanked him, thought for a while, and asked, "Doctor Xiao Fang, I heard that you are also from the generation in the capital. Do you recognize that General Jin? He is really so As powerful as the rumors? He came with soldiers, so we don't have to run for our lives?"

Fang Fan paused for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "I'm sorry, I'm not from the capital, so I don't know this General Jin. However, I have heard of his reputation, so it should be pretty good. Relocate again, Let's take a look first, don't rush to escape."

"Dr. Fang said so, we also have some doubts in our hearts. Since you and Doctor Fang are not leaving, then we will not leave either."

Fang Fan nodded and chuckled, "Let's see what that General Jin is capable of."
