Clam Pearl

A green-wheeled cart, a whip spring ox, the ox cart canopy is surrounded by curtains of shrimp whiskers.

Gu Zhao knew Ah Run himself, and rarely had time to travel with him. The two of them had their own responsibilities and were both busy.I don't know why today, maybe because of the annoying spring, they just came out together in such a muddleheaded way.

Along the way, the atmosphere was surprisingly good. They sat in the bullock cart, didn't speak, but held hands together all the time, looking out silently.

The cart walked slowly around the bank of the Song River, and the beautiful scenery was all in sight. Not long after, the ox cart came to the foot of Chunming Mountain, carefully found a quiet mountain road, stopped the old ox, and asked through the curtain: "Master, There are mostly small pavilions in front, and there are many people, why not go up the mountain from here?"

Soon, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Gu Zhao exposed his head and smiled: "Okay, you wait for me here, and I will go up with A-Run."

After all, Gu Zhao turned over and jumped off the bullock cart without waiting for his feet to step on, turned around and stretched out his hand and said to A Run, "Get down, I will help you."

Ah Run chuckled and didn't fight him. He knew that Gu Zhao loves face and always likes to be aggressive outside, so he stretched out his hand and followed him to get out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Ah Run took out the gauze cap inside the car, carefully raised the gauze curtain, took off A Run's jade crown, raised her hair and put the hat on A Run along the hole in the gauze cap. The ribbon of the hat was fastened for him without looseness or tightness.

"Keep your head down," Gu Zhao said.

Ah Run lowered his head slightly, and Gu Zhao restored the jade crown again. After wearing it, Gu Zhao was a little annoyed and said, "Ah Run, have you grown up again?"

Ah Run chuckled: "Not really." After speaking, he also took off the gauze cap and helped Gu Zhao put it on like that.

"You haven't grown yet? Could it be that I have shrunk?" Gu Zhao muttered, and after finishing speaking, he reached out and carried the food box prepared in the car to go up the mountain.

"No, let them follow from a distance." Arun held Gu Zhao's hand.

Gu Zhao turned his head, saw Sun Xi and the others looking at him eagerly, and sighed in his heart, yes, no matter what, there is no shortage of people around Ah Run.When he turned his head again, his nanny was also glaring at him.Yes, you can't go up the mountain alone...

"You have to stand farther away!" Gu Zhao had no choice but to resist a little. He is an adult, so it is not good to cause trouble to others.Anyway, he is copper-skinned and iron-boned, with a thick skin, and he has long been indifferent under the gaze of these people.

"Sure, sir, that is! Don't worry, Seventh Master, we will follow from a distance, and we will keep out of your eyes." Xinzai took the food box, and happily walked back a long way, comparing the distance Said: "How?"

A gust of wind blows, a large piece of peach petals blows by, Xizi is sneezing, Ah Run chuckles a few times, reaches out to hold Gu Zhao's hand, and walks up the mountain with him.

"That year's plum blossoms also bloomed so luxuriantly, but that year's winter wind was not as good as the spring breeze, and the petals were not splashed so freely." Gu Zhao said as he walked.

"Plum blossoms have the character of plum blossoms, and peach blossoms also have the temperament of peach blossoms. This year... let's go there to see...there are not so many people." Ah Run suggested.

"Okay, I'll go wherever you go." Gu Zhao nodded.

The air in the mountains penetrates the heart and lungs, and there are faint mountain streams flowing in the distance, whispering like string music, and I don’t know where the birds that come along the way are resting and singing. Listen carefully, there is no noise, but only one person is left alone. Only the most elegant and pleasant solo.

Over there in the peach forest, there was a hearty and charming laughter. After listening carefully, I didn't know who the girl was. We made a secret agreement and came here together to avoid the crowd. Because no one saw it, I became bold, and I didn't know who it was. , shaking the flower tree, the petals fluttered all over the sky, the girls laughed and ran back and forth to avoid.

"That's great!" Gu Zhao sighed a long time.

But he didn't want to, Ah Run suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, and hurriedly explained: "I think I am old, and now I will only praise you when I see a youthful look, but it is not what Ah Run thinks." Gu Zhao Inside the gauze hat, his eyes widened and he explained.

Ah Run couldn't see him, but he could feel his expression, so he smiled lowly, stretched out his hand to pull Gu Zhao out of the laughter, and walked slowly along the mountain road and up the mountain again.

The spring rain was damp, and the bluestone was smooth. They supported them, and their steps were not too fast or slow. In a blink of an eye, the mountain road turned two times, and the melodious flute sounded in their ears. After walking a few steps, they saw a piece of grass.Inside the pavilion, there were seven or eight teenagers sitting upright. One of them, who was like white jade, was wearing a long gown, no gauze hat, and only a floating scarf. Blow a tune to watch flowers from afar.

Ah Run saw it, so he stopped, watched for a while, and listened to half of it.The mountain wind blew past, and he suddenly felt cold, but he didn't know when Gu Zhao let go, so he just stood aside and stared at him.

"Hey, I just heard about Huahui for many years, so I listened to it, but it didn't mean anything else." Ah Run laughed, quickly grabbed his hand, and fled the place.

"Yes, she is so nice. She is beautiful and can play the flute. I like it very much. I'm not jealous."

Ah Run chuckled, without explaining, he just said: "Someone kicked the key, the first scene in Beijing, but unfortunately only I can see it."

Gu Zhao burst into laughter: "Flying swallows playing on the swing that day, that's the best in Beijing, you've never seen anything like it before."

Ah Run said indifferently: "I don't want to watch it either, I just love watching you."

Gu Zhao wanted to refute, but suddenly felt that the peach blossoms were flying around today, making his body feel springy and sore, so disgusting, so he stopped talking, and just went to accompany Ah Run to visit the scenery.

They didn't know how long they had climbed, but they finally came to the top of Chunming Mountain. When they raised their eyes and looked down, the bottom of the mountain was covered with peach colors, stretching for more than ten miles.

"Choose the road carefully, choose well." Ah Run gave a rare compliment.

Gu Zhao smiled lightly, and walked to the top of a cliff. He looked at it for a while, then turned around and waved at A Run: "A Run, come up."

Ah Run was laying a mat on the ground with his own hands, and was serious about arranging the food. When he saw Gu Zhao calling him, he stopped and put on the cliff stone.

They looked at it for a while, and Gu Zhao suddenly said in their ears: "Ah Run, I feel that being an emperor is so lonely. The one who stands tallest should also see the farthest. The farthest is your palace, and the farthest is the emperor's palace." City, outside the imperial city is the world, and your people live in the world. No matter what is the reason in the world, the lord of the world should consider issues from the highest position and consider the farthest. This is the general trend. Although this is Generally speaking, I never feel that being a monarch is a blessed thing."

Ah Run just laughed, and nodded when he heard the words: "The country changes, the monarchy is different, I, the emperor...has caused a lot to Ah Run."

Gu Zhao shook his head: "I don't think you're going to hurt me, I just think you're going out to take up an idle job... as long as you're happy, I can't help you too much...

Just like... I don't understand the legal matter mentioned today, and I haven't studied it.But I also know that ruling the country according to the law is the foundation of the country.Every law in a country is related to the well-being of all people in the world.It has nothing to do with personal grievances, past affairs of the previous dynasty, personal affair with someone, resentment with someone, whether he is Ah Zhao's uncle, or the internal history of the former queen's family.But no matter what other people think, a great monarch should think about any problem from a distance, from a high place!I shouldn't be looking at me, nor should I be looking at the mere capital city, a few miles away.

You are troubled in your heart, Zhao can't intervene, so I can only bring you here, please take a look at the distance, the farther the better... Looking back thousands of years, if... Ah Run's law is promulgated well, thousands of years No matter where the country is in the next year, you still can't abolish your ruler and your standard!That's what I'm trying to say..."

Ah Run didn't move, after a long time he sighed and said, "Ah Zhao, that's why you brought me here."

Gu Zhao smiled lightly and nodded: "I'm the laziest. I don't want to suffer the crime of climbing a mountain. I won't go down the mountain after a while. Tell them to bring bamboo bags."

"Okay..." Ah Run only said half a sentence, but gently took Gu Zhao's arm, took off the veil of the hat, and wanted to kiss him, but the brim of the hat was too wide for him to reach.

"Fool." Gu Zhao laughed, turned his head and pulled him to look down the mountain.

They watched for a while, Gu Zhao was infected by the beautiful scenery, and talked more than before.

"Arun."

"Ok?"

"Actually, there are some things I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but since I'm with you, I always remind myself that if I don't get involved in the power center, I will save you from embarrassment."

"It's okay, just tell me, I understand you."

"Okay, my elder brother picked me up to Beijing that year. I never knew that I would be inseparable from this place in my life. I thought, I would stay in Beijing for a few years, and when my elder brother was old, I would go back to Shanghai. The world is very big. , I have many places to go, but, who would have thought that I met you, and I have been stuck with my feet since then, and it is difficult to move an inch in this life, but I don’t regret it. Wherever a person stands, he will talk about things there. I've never cared about it, but... the matter of being alone now always makes me sleepless at night."

Ah Run sighed, Ding Min was bothering him too.

"Everyone in the world feels that life is suffering, Wukang is suffering, and people are suffering, but they don't know that the real suffering is that there is no corn in the bowl to satisfy their hunger. Everyone in the world sees that life is difficult, but they don't know that it is not a simple matter of life." I look at the history of Wukang Zhou Zhi. Since ancient times, Wukang has gathered talents. There are great Confucianists, sages, famous generals, and celebrities. For thousands of years, Wukang has always produced talents in large numbers.

Now, it's a matter of relocating, I'm afraid the world will want Wukang's roots, and Wukang's eldest son, second son, and third son will all be taken away by the world.From then on, the people in Wukang will change their personalities within a thousand years, and they will never leave their homeland, and there will be no more talents.Everyone in the world owes Wukang, you and I even more so, today I want to ask you for an errand. "

Ah Run pondered for a while and then said: "No, Ah Zhao. I thought... that I would live up to you if I had no worries in my life. It's hard work, why did you come here?"

Gu Zhao chuckled lightly: "If the two bear it together, it won't be hard, right?"

After a while, Ah Run nodded: "En."

After the two of them finished speaking, they had no intention of eating anymore, they just sat on the cliff together and cuddled each other until the evening sun shone.

When going down the mountain, Ah Run saw that it was getting dark, so he took off his gauze cap, bent slightly and said, "I'll carry you down the mountain."

Gu Zhao laughed, his eyes rolled around and he said, "That's fine, I'll carry you instead in the middle of the mountain!"

"Heh... well, that's good too!"

The two of them went down the mountain with their backs on their backs, and when they returned to the mansion, they were both very tired, and they went to bed without eating a few mouthfuls, snoring, sleeping heavier than a dead pig.They didn't know that not long after they left, a person suddenly turned up from the cliff, his body was as light as a swallow.

This man was about 50 years old, wearing a green cotton suit with waist-length shorts, thick-soled light boots on his feet, and a tiger-leather dagger at his waist. His hair was grey, combed tightly, his complexion was burnt yellow, but his eyes were bright. The temples on both sides are bulging and protruding, and there are fairy marks all over his body. His temperament is refined, and he is not like ordinary people just by looking at him.

The man looked at the foot of the mountain, sighed softly, and said, "I don't want to... Master's hexagram, but it should be here? I don't know which one is that Ah Zhao? It's true that the gossip in the market misleads me, but Jiangshan is really true. ... I have become the master of the Ming Dynasty. I practiced in the mountains, but I only felt that the mountain was bad and dirty. If... that person is really the master of the world, I will come out of the mountain to assist me after the golden mountain, and it will not be in vain that I have learned all my life."

This man hid at the bottom of the cliff for a day, and the dozens of guards led by Ah Run didn't notice the slightest of a living person. As soon as the dagger came out, Gu Zhao and Zhao Chunrun were in danger.

After the man finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and looked at the stars, his body was straightened, like a light gull crossing the sea, and disappeared into the night after only a few ups and downs.

Ah Run and Gu Zhao didn't know that their big opportunity had come. They woke up the next day with backaches all over their bodies.

Gu Zhao can enjoy massage and massage at home, and he sighs that he doesn't exercise much.

But they didn't want to, the mountain road has eighteen bends, the road going down the mountain is more difficult than the road up, this pair of idiots, but they just want to play that shrimp romantic, twenty miles of mountain road, you carry me, I carry yours, it's not good Yi Lehu, now that he has received retribution, that is inevitable.

This day, Gu Zhao was in good health, so he went to Fu Ji's courtyard. Seeing that his apprentice had grown fat again in the past few days, his mood immediately improved a lot.Seeing that Fu Ji was concerned about Gua Guan'er, he smiled and persuaded him: "Why are you concerned about him? You are a little heartless. Now at my brother's house, I have forgotten you completely by playing. Yesterday I My sister-in-law sent someone to tell me, Gua Guaner pointed at my sister-in-law and said that he was born by my sister-in-law. Hmm...you think that kid is so weird."

Hearing this, Fu Ji put most of his heart down, and he couldn't help showing off a little: "Master, I don't know, that kid is already lively. I read to him on the way here, and he memorized it after only a few times."

Gu Zhao nodded, sat beside him and said, "I hope he grows up to be so clever and live up to Shi Yishi's blood. A few days ago, I asked Mao De to hand over the book, and wanted to ask him for a title."

Hearing this, Fu Ji burst into tears and wanted to thank him, but because of his agitated body, he coughed again.

"Hey, you are all fools..." Gu Zhao sighed and patted his apprentice on the back, thinking to himself.I used to read books, the ancients were stupid and naive, but since I came here.There are famous imperial generals in his family, and some of them will not hesitate to shed blood for the sake of the country.There are also uncles like Ling Lie who are willing to risk the world's dissatisfaction for the sake of justice and justice in the world, and stand up to the wind.There is also Shi Wu, for a promise, to live up to the righteous man entrusted to him, and Fu Ji, for the sake of kindness, willing to be a slave for the rest of his life, and not to be a person who defaults on debts like cattle and horses in the afterlife.I am afraid that I have been infected by these people long ago.

Gu Zhao was patting the back of his apprentice, but he didn't want to, the little man came running up, holding a short tiger skin dagger in both hands, hurried all the way to Gu Zhao, knelt down in front of Gu Zhao, and said, "Seventh Master, there is a man in our house." Weird man, he said he would sell this dagger to you. It will cost [-] gold to open his mouth!"

Surprised, Gu Zhao stretched out his hand and took the tiger skin dagger in his hand, grabbed the handle of the dagger and pulled it out vigorously a few times, the dagger was already rusted through, and it took a lot of strength to pull it out.

"Hey, where did this old liar come from, and he even lied to our house, hurry up and whip him away!" Gu Zhao threw the dagger casually, pointed at Xizai and cursed: "You are too stupid, Say anything."

Xizai was about to go, but he didn't want to. Fu Ji suddenly said: "Come on, and take a look at me with the dagger."

Carefully stopped, turned around and threw the dagger into Fu Ji's hand, muttering, "I thought it was really a treasure."

Fu Ji smiled, and after looking back and forth at the dagger for a while, he finally saw a "gold" character on the handle of the dagger that was almost worn away.Immediately, he couldn't help being overjoyed, turned his head and said to his master, "Menshi is overjoyed, I didn't know that Master would have such a good opportunity."

Why?Gu Zhao was taken aback and looked at his apprentice.

Fu Ji had an inscrutable expression on his face, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only say: "Mr. Ding Jiu, I used to tell me about the history of chivalrous men from other countries, and it was about two dynasties ago. Yan State, the king is capable, at this time, someone came to the door to sell the golden sword, Jinshan came out to assist the Ming Lord, and then Yan Guo was free from worries for a hundred years... Those who are called Jinshan by the world... Hehe, it’s really interesting, I don’t know who this person is True or false?"

When he said these words, Gu Zhao was taken aback?But he thought, how about finding the lord and picking up a golden sword at the gate of Gu's mansion?
