Return to the rumor

"It's just a trivial matter, so it's more than such a battle?" Jingci couldn't help complaining when she woke up and saw that the originally spacious room was crowded by the people gathered around her.

Su knew that although Jingci bowed to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for more than ten years, her mind became more and more gentle and easy-going, but her delicate body, which had been kept in the deep palace for a long time, could not bear such a crowded and noisy situation. After confirming over and over again that Jingci's condition is stable and life-threatening at this moment, she took the medicine cup from Aunt Chunhua's hand, and dismissed everyone.

Rou Ke took a spoonful of the black soup, blew it again and again, took a sip to try the warmth, and carefully fed it into Jingci's mouth.Spoon after spoon, until the soup bottomed out, Rou Ke was uncharacteristically taciturn.

Jing Ci chuckled, raised her slightly weak wrist, and stroked the back of Rou Ke's hand resting on the edge of the bed: "You child, how old are you? When you are angry with others, you are still the same as when you were a child, and you are bored. In the bottom of my heart, don’t teach others to know. Medical theory has a saying, if you have a lenient heart, you will be safe for a long time. If things go on like this, how can you survive if you corrupt your body?”

The more kind and friendly the tone, the more annoyed and remorse Rou Ke felt.

What the medical officer said a moment ago is still in my ears: "I don't understand the knot in my heart, and the disease cannot be relieved."

Heart disease needs heart medicine, how could Rou Ke not know?

Jing Ci's heart disease is not Rou Ke's serious illness, no matter for Jing Ci or for herself, traveling all over the world to search for heart medicine is just her endless penance journey of traveling all over the world for several years.

"Silly boy, is there any reason why I don't know about my body?" Seeing Rou Ke's lower lip tightly pressed and still not speaking, Jing Ci further relieved, "It's just that the lungs are not very good, this is a fault brought out from the mother's womb Even if Hua Tuo is still alive, he can only lay down a prescription of meditation and self-cultivation for the time being. If you are angry that I will hide it from you this time, I will let you be the first to know next time, how about it?" No one can cruelly refuse.

Rou Ke turned her head away, and said in a muffled voice: "You clearly lie to me time and time again."

Jingci froze slightly, the fingertips rubbing the back of Rouke's hand were half cold, the eyes looking at Rouke became more gentle, she opened her heart and said with a smile: "I'm not seriously ill, if I let you know, I have to get out of bed in a hurry. Come over from Beijing. In this scorching red sun season, you are also a fragile person. If you get tired after going back and forth, it will make me feel even more distressed. Besides, didn’t you just come back from Yunzhou? After working so hard, you came to my place not long after you got home, I'm afraid your father will miss you very much."

Every midsummer, Rou Ke would go to the bank of the Lancang River in Yunzhou alone, and stay alone for a day and a night.In the past, she kept Jingci from knowing, but on this day every year, Jingci saw that she didn't come to Biyun Temple to visit her, so she guessed something in her heart, and when the two were chatting, Rouke inadvertently The few words revealed, after a long time, became a tacit secret between the two of them.

Knowing it is one thing, being able to mention it is another.

Rou Ke heard that Jingci had brought up Yunzhou's remarks, turned her face sideways, held Jingci's hand behind her back, and said with a smile: "Speaking of Yunzhou, Tangci just sent two boxes of Pu'er tea cakes this morning, both of which are Authentic stuff from Yunzhou. I came in a hurry just now, and I forgot to bring a few for you to try out. I'll send someone over tomorrow?"

Never thought that Rou Ke and Tang Ci got along so well after only meeting each other once.Jing Ci glanced at the shadows in her eyes, and asked Rou Ke carefully why Tang Ci sent tea cakes to her.

"She is caring, and it is a good thing to know the ways of the world. I thought that as a man, she looks too elegant and beautiful. If she has no family background and is alone in Beijing, not to mention being bullied, I am afraid that those people will be bullied." The prodigal son with a penchant for broken sleeves met his eyes. Earlier, he wanted to ask you to ask your father to take care of her, but after getting acquainted with her temperament, I am afraid that she is also an arrogant temper who refuses to bend his waist for three buckets of rice, so he dismissed this idea. In this way, she must be a wealthy merchant in Yunzhou, and it is not difficult to establish contacts in Beijing and the court, as expected, it is better to let nature take its course."

The addiction to broken sleeves... Rou Ke frowned fiercely, and said: "You are over-concerned, that person Tang Ci has a bit of a temper, if you really meet a dragon who wants to treat her like a rabbit A person of Yang, fighting for his official position not to be demoted to nothing is a crime that must be resisted with death."

Hearing Rou Ke's tone of dissatisfaction with Tang Ci, Jing Ci naturally asked.

It's not like the despicable character of talking bad things about people behind their backs. Rou Ke saw that when she mentioned Tang Ci, Jingci's eyes flashed a few curious lights, so she could only sigh and recall the time when she was having a banquet at Lu Wang's mansion that day. , Tangci was drunk and forced the maidservant to have sex with her.

Jing Ci burst into a smile: "Eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires exist. Now that she has reached the rank of an official, she is considered to have a family and a business. Isn't it very normal for a man to covet a beautiful woman when he sees a beautiful woman? But drinking Mistakes hurt my body, if I meet her again next time, you should teach her a few words for me."

Rou Ke paused slightly with her hand twisting the towel, and said with a smile, "You have only known Tang Ci for a long time, and I only gave her a few words, but you actually speak for her?"

Although it was a tasteful word, in Jing Ci's ears, it became Rou Ke's long-lost intentional flattery Cheng Huan, she chuckled: "I'm not helping relatives in the gang, I'll help whoever takes advantage of it. Gradually falling into the memory, the gentle eyebrows became softer, "It's a coincidence that Tang Ci's child, I like it no matter what I think. When I didn't know her native place at first, I heard her accent mixed with Jizhou dialect. She is from the suburbs of Jingzhou, Jizhou. Later, I saw that she always came here alone, and never went home during the holidays. After asking a few words, I realized that she came from Yunzhou. In the past, I read the prefectural and county annals and said: People in Zhouzhou are arrogant and domineering, and they are short and rough. If you think about it, Mencius said that it is better to have no books than to have no books."

The daily trivial matters in the past three years are complicated and trivial, how could she be able to explain clearly in a few words, Jingci often covers her mouth and smiles when she talks about her happiness.Even though she doesn't have a good impression of Tang Ci now, Rou Ke hears everything that Jing Ci said and keeps it in her heart, and occasionally picks up a few important points to talk calmly and not perfunctorily.

After a long time, Rou Ke wiped Jing Ci's face and two arms, saw the tiredness in her eyes, took advantage of the pretext of going to the kitchen to supervise Qiao Qing to cook porridge, tucked up the quilt for her, and walked out of the room, leaving Find a quiet and suitable place for her to rest.

As the sun went down, under the crabapple tree in the courtyard stood a young man in green robes.

Falling flowers and afterglow spread all over the ground, and also sprinkled the young man's shoulders. The red and gold complement each other, which is very humorous.

I don't know whether the person is in the painting or the beauty of the person in the painting, but the young man's complexion is pale, his eyes are slack, as if suffering severe pain, as if undergoing a great change, his two feet go deep into the ground as if rooted, without moving.

Rou Ke's heart trembled slightly, she approached Tang Ci calmly, and said softly: "When did Lord Tang come, why didn't you knock on the door and ask, and just stood here waiting?" Today is not a holiday, and she was the first to get it It took two or three hours for the news to arrive at Biyun Temple. Tang Ci must have moved here before the night and the stars. Did he actually ask for leave from the Imperial Academy in order to visit Jingci?

Withdrawing his gloomy eyes from the direction of Jingci's house, Tang Ci gave a salute, calmed down his restless mind, and said slowly: "It's about half a cup of tea, and I heard Aunt Chunhua say that Master Jingci has passed away. It's all right, you feed medicine and serve in the back room, and if I go in at a man's house, it would be rude to bother you."

Glancing at Tang Ci's shoulders full of fine petals, Rou Ke thought otherwise, but said: "His Majesty the late emperor set an example of filial piety in the world, and until Emperor Dezong died of illness, he was still dealing with memorial papers every day and then went to the Buddhist hall to copy them. The scriptures, praying sincerely. After his death, the temple name is Xiaozong. If Master Tang made the late emperor create the brushwork to imitate the late emperor's shape, what he is doing today is the first glimpse of the late emperor's god, and he has no blood relationship with himself. If my aunt is so filial, how about my biological parents?"

Even if she had doubts, what Rou Ke said came from her heart and could not be false. However, when Tang Ci heard it, she felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and the cold sweat broke out on her back. She was stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile: "The princess is over-rewarded. How dare you compare yourself with Emperor Xiaozong, and compare yourself to the sun and the moon."

The breeze blew up, brushing the strands of hair in front of Tangci's forehead, and the fallen flowers flew from her shoulders, sliding across her delicate and soft cheeks, adding a few touches of tenderness to the anxious expression.

Rou Ke only thought that it was the entanglement between Emperor Xiandi and Emperor Chunyou that most people in the government and the public kept secrets about the late Emperor, which made Tangci such a shape, so she didn't care too much, she just nodded slightly and said: "It's getting late, Master Tang may as well be here Meal. At most two hours, auntie should wake up, you will not be able to fulfill your wish until then, right?"

Tang Ci refused without hesitation: "Since I have learned that Master Jingci is well, I should go back to deal with official duties. I can make an appointment for dinner in the next day. I will trouble the Princess to work hard then."

Watching Tang Ci step out of the courtyard, Rou Ke murmured thoughtfully after a while: "Humble, polite and filial, if he is not a lustful apprentice, he should be a good gentleman who is hard to find even with a lantern. "

On the way from Biyun Temple to Donghuamen in the capital, business travelers and pilgrims flocked to and fro, and there were many restaurants and teahouses. When it was the turn of summer, the business was even better.

Today is a bit different, the teahouses occupying several shop fronts are empty, and each of the stakes used to tie horses is wrapped with the reins of several horses.

The only guest was sitting in the middle, and the tea he had poured had already cooled down. He just quietly listened to the report of his subordinates, frowning occasionally, and remained silent.

"It's fine if you don't have anything to do. You can also sit down and drink a few cups of tea to quench your thirst. After a short rest, it's time to go back." Emperor Chunyou, who was on a tour in a micro-clothes, poured a cup of tea himself, and handed it to his side to express his hospitality. Those with a thick layer of sweat knew that the supervisor followed Li Anshi.

His Majesty poured the tea in person, Li Anshi's legs and feet were weak, and he almost didn't kneel down immediately, but he didn't dare to sit with him even if he gave him ten heads.Looking back at the shopkeeper and the clerk who were busy in the settlement, he bowed and took the teacup with both hands, drank it all at once, flatteringly said: "I heard that that person has already fallen asleep, if the Lord is eager, you can take a few more steps to see if you think it will be all right." of."

Emperor Chunyou raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a long while, until he saw Li Anshi's heart trembling, then brushed off his robe, and said calmly: "Your master is Li Shunde? The other side is clever and didn't learn well, so he picked up a sesame-sized crack in the door and rushed to him. Squeeze your head in, aren't you afraid of getting stuck in the middle of the way?"

When Li Anshi heard it, he knew that he had offended the emperor. Even though Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, he still knelt down with his hands and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Chunyou ignored him and didn't even look at him, he stood up and walked out the door.Li Anshi hurriedly got up on the ground with all hands and feet, and hurried to serve him, thinking that whenever something happens to Biyun Temple, the master's mind is probably a little harder to guess than a woman's!
