The gentleman is to blame

Jinling, the hometown where Song Huaizhen had never set foot.

Unlike Xifu, Jinling, as the royal capital of Daqi, adds a little beauty to the prosperity.The commercial atmosphere is strong, row upon row of houses, there are restaurants, teahouses, butcher shops, temples, silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense and paper horses are all available.

If the Xifu Night Market is only available during festivals like the Hibiscus Festival, then Jinling is completely different.All kinds of shops often operate until midnight, and the dawn market often begins before the night market ends.

Pedestrians in the market crowded shoulder to shoulder, there were fortune tellers like Song Huaizhen in Taoist uniforms, there were also monks on foot with baskets on their backs, there were noble ladies in silk and satin, and there were wealthy children in restaurants chatting and drinking recklessly.There are also quite a few young boys who look like scholars, who seem to have just returned from school, playing and playing along the way.There are many disabled old people begging around Jinling City, leading a poor child.

Men, women, old and young, scholars, farmers, businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything is available.

Song Huaizhen felt a little strange looking at this city where he was born but had no memory of.If it weren't for Qiao Hanyan and Su Mian, I would be a carefree playboy.Traveling through this Jinling City, he is no different from an ordinary young master.There is a father who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and a mother who is gentle and elegant.

Xie Nangui said, "I haven't been to Jinling for a long time. Last time I came here with Master to treat a certain person."

Song Huaizhen said, "Xiaocha, you have traveled a lot, and you have seen a lot."

"Asu, let's find an inn closer to Mingyue Bridge to rest tonight, and then go to Huyuanju first."

Song Huaizhen said, "My home in Jinling, Uncle Zhong also lives near Huyuanju. Now it seems that... Mrs. Xie and the owner of Xiaoliu Village are willing to hide everything in the villa for the sake of Qiaoqiao, so that she Leaving home alone, and sending someone to protect him secretly. But I think Qiao Qiao can accept it, and I hope to know all of this."

Mingyue Bridge is an ancient small bridge, and the surrounding area is called Mingyue Bridge.Compared with the Jinling neighborhood with a strong commercial atmosphere, this place is more like a quiet Haiyu.

But it is much more prosperous than Haiyu.The two found an inn to stay, and the innkeeper saw that the two were not locals, and told them that there was a sea of ​​flowers to the east, named "Yunlan".If the two of them have nothing to do and are not very tired, they can go there for a walk, but the season is not right at this time, and there are no big flowers.

Xie Nangui and Song Huaizhen came to Huahai together after resting for a while.

It's not the lush greenery of Haiyu, nor the blooming hibiscus of Xifu.There are no flowers in the large sea of ​​flowers, only the pale yellow branches left after the flowers have decayed.

Song Huaizhen said, "The last time I was at Xifu Kongxiang Temple, I wasn't sad about autumn at all, but now that I'm here in the sea of ​​clouds and flowers, I'm a little bit, sentimental since ancient times, hurt parting, how can I neglect Qingqiu Festival?"

Xie Nangui said, "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, but I don't want to agree with it. Along the way, I let go of my parents' affairs. You know about your parents' affairs, and you got to know Lin Yizhi and his wife, Liu Chen, Qiao Qiao, and Master Zhibei." , Hui Xin, barely counting Mei Jiu.

Seeing all the joys and sorrows in the world, although the beauty is beautiful, it has no soul.Talent is the soul that sets off the scenery.It is these people that make up your memory.You see this Yunlan Huahai is sad, but I feel that if the matter of Su Mian is settled, I will live in that Kongxiang Temple for a while, or find a random place, and I will act as a doctor for you to tell fortunes. "

"For a fortune teller, you should be a doctor. You roam the rivers and lakes and make your home everywhere." Song Huaizhen said.

There was a wishing tree in the center of the sea of ​​flowers, and the two of them walked over together, and saw that it was covered with light red wishing cards, most of which were the wishes of lovers.

"I would like to marry Qin and Jin with you, three lives and three lives." Song Huaizhen looked at the sign and read, "Three lives and three lives are a bit too much. If you want me, I don't ask for the past life or the next life, but only for this life. At this moment, we know each other and understand each other, and it is plain."

"Asu, let's carve a wishing card too."

"The acquaintance of people lies in knowing each other. The acquaintance of people lies in the heart. ——Xiaocha, Asu"

Xie Nangui looked at the sign and said with a smile, "Back then I was riddled with grievances. Although I could suppress them, there were moments when I was backlashed and my heart was violent and rampant. I always planned to bid farewell to Master as soon as possible, and then go around for free consultations. One day I can't control my grievances anymore." , just find a quiet place and walk quietly there alone. But now I don’t want to.”

Song Huaizhen said, "It must be accompanied by me."

"There is a little Taoist who knows me and understands me, and is willing to accompany me to roam the rivers and lakes, why not?" After speaking, he generously took Song Huaizhen's hand, Song Huaizhen was stunned, and gently held Xie Nangui back.

The two went to Hu Yuanju together the next day.

Huyuanju, the place where the fox fairy and the scholar made love and spent their lives together, not only is it not beautiful, but it is shockingly ordinary.

The bamboo house has no special scenery, it is just an ordinary private courtyard that can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River.Thinking about this scholar and Mrs. Hu Immortal, Xu lived a frugal life after resigning from office.

The story is so legendary, the place where the immortal couple lives is not as fairyland or magnificent as people imagined, not even elegant and exquisite.Most of the people who want to come here to Huyuanju are rushing to the wishing tree and the sea of ​​clouds and flowers.Song Huaizhen and Yanxia walked into the bamboo house, there were mostly ordinary tables, chairs and benches.

Life is so ordinary, but because the scholar and the fox have a deep relationship, no matter where the two of them live, it is probably a fairyland in heaven.

The two wandered around Hu Yuanju for a long time, but found that there was no one there, so they became suspicious.

"Two little friends, what are you doing in Su's former residence?"

It was Su Mian, but right now he was already a gray-haired old man.

Xie Nangui asked, "Your former residence?"

"Exactly, Hu Yuanju is the place where Su and his wife, Wenren Xing'er, made love. It is widely rumored that the scholar resigned from office and went to live in seclusion to spend his life with the fox fairy. Do you know that the real story is exactly the opposite?"

Song Huaizhen said, "So Mr. Su is that scholar?"

"It's right here. When I was an official, I was upright and honest, but I was framed and imprisoned after I found out the big case in the court. The previous court was already swaying in the rain, but I was young and frivolous and wanted to turn the tide on my own. My teacher once advised me to Come on, Hui Ji will hurt the strong and the strong will be humiliated, but I, Su, just can't get sand in my eyes."

"Are you going to become a fallen fairy if you don't rub it into the sand, and do all kinds of crazy things?"

"Someone Su is insane? You have to know how many people were killed in this Jinling together by the Emperor Daqi and the mysterious Taixuan Mountain Demon Dao? The total number of people killed by Su over the years is probably not as many as them.

My mentor has been asking me to resign and retire, but I don't want to.If I don't even do these things, if I don't help those in need, who else can do these things?

However, when I was slandered all the time, I passed by my hometown in a prison van, and what I harvested was just some rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

Holding salaries for everyone, but freezing in the wind and snow, a little rumor can turn black and white, I just can't understand the gray world everywhere.It's better now, being a fallen fairy, using those ridiculous wishes to play with these fools and then destroy them, I, Su, have not lived in vain. "

"Your private matter, Mr. Xie, is unwilling to comment. But I, a fool, deprived you of your soul back then, and I have regretted it all these years. You and I must settle here today."
