Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

Hui Yang, who was behind the elder Rongge, took a step forward and said, "My lords, let me say something boldly. I'm afraid the prince of Jinyang did this out of ulterior motives. It is recognized that there are many savages in Xinzhou, but thanks to Ling With Yin Tan Rusong's vigorous rectification, Xinzhou has never had any major disturbances, so there is no talk of war."

"That's what I mean too," Chen Ge said, "The Prince of Jinyang has always held grudges against us veterans, so he made this excuse, and it seems that he intends to do something, God is so pitiful seeing that the two of us are loyal, but suffer like this. "

Rong Ge didn't answer the words, and said in a dark voice: "Who was sent later?"

"One named Su Hong, a lieutenant general."

"Oh?"

"A subordinate of General Po."

"Tsk," Chen Ge frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "How many people did you bring?"

"Hundreds and ten."

Rong Ge sneered, "Bai Shi Lai Hao, his purpose is too obvious, the conspiracy has directly turned into a conspiracy."

"Give Jinyang to such a person, how to teach people how to rest assured?"

"What does the elder mean?"

"Let him go, Baishi Laihao, it's not enough to wipe out a bandit, and it doesn't matter to us if we lose a general," Rong Ge said, "Inform General Bo, the head of the Sixth Mansion, let's choose an auspicious day and meet together My lord is going."

"Could it be too fast?" Huiyang rolled his eyes.

"Huh, if you slow down a little bit, Ji Xiu will have to hit us with our old bones hanging on his shoulders. We can't be slow," Chen Ge said, "It depends on the owner if you beat the dog. We are the people left by the old prince. The new prince doesn't understand. The truth is also the responsibility of our veterans."

"Well, you go to the Futai Yamen to tell the two adults about today's affairs, Ji Shen and Jia Rong, so that everyone can prepare."

"Yes," Huiyang retreated respectfully.

"It will be the Twelfth Moon Festival in a few days," Mr. Chen Ge squinted his eyes, as if recalling the past, "There seems to be a parade on the Twelfth Moon Festival..."

The twelfth lunar month festival is the end of the trip, and the prince of Jinyang must board a sedan chair full of flowers to accept the cheers and blessings of the people.

"This is a rule since ancient times, it's best not to break it."

"nature."

There are also white toads in Jinyang City. The flowers bloom with double petals, and the petals are like snow.It is planted in every household. The flowering period is very short. It blooms when it snows lightly, and withers when it snows heavily. The flowering period is only half a month.Even if it is half a month, it is enough to make Jinyang city full of charm.The flowering period of the white toad flower has long passed, but at the entrance of this alley, a white toad flower the size of a bowl is blooming.

The white toad flower bloomed again, and there was a boy who looked at a white toad flower with his back for a long time.

He even forgot the class time.

"You child, you are so rude!" Suddenly came a stern voice.

The little boy raised his head in a hurry, he was heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not Mr., he was born so beautiful, almost concentrated all the beauty in the world on his face, and the man's long black hair fell down.It's very strange, ordinary young men with disheveled hair will inevitably have a bit of madness, but he is so elegant and not half-scattered, it makes people think that all handsome men in the world should have disheveled hair like him , can be called a handsome man.

Is this person a fairy?

"Watching flowers is like watching people. If you stare at the flowers like this, the flowers will disappear in a short while." The man's face was as clear as a knife, and his angular face was extremely handsome.

I really met a fairy!

The sound of reading books came from the depths of the alley.

The little boy rubbed his eyes, the fairy was no longer there.

Then the little boy crossed the street like a madman, and came to a door in Concubine Alley. Copy the Analects five times.

How could immortals exist, Shan Xuechen thought.The flower seedlings all over the yard were sent by the parents of the students. He is transplanting the flower seedlings from the pots to the open space, so that every year we can see the flowers blooming. The plum wife and the crane son, I think this white toad flower is also my wife up.

Ji Xiu lingered at the entrance of the alley for a long time, but still didn't go in to have a look.

He encountered a very difficult problem.

When school was over, there was already light snow on the road.

This light snow was followed by a severe cold.

Shan Xuechen was carrying a jug of wine, which was entrusted to him by Guan Erge, and Shan Xuechen walked home slowly.There are few pedestrians on the road, most of the shops along the street have closed their doors, and the snow is drifting hazyly. Jinyang is a place that likes snow very much. The snow in Jinyang has a unique temper and temperament, and it dances in the air simply and fiercely. , just like that person, with such a hard and cold heart.

That's all right, Shan Xuechen thought, it's like a crazy grass.

When we got back to the residence, it was already You hour, and there was already a little light coming from the head of the alley. As soon as we entered the alley, we saw Brother Guan waiting. Shan Xuechen handed the wine over, and after a long time of greetings, we realized that today is the twelfth lunar month. Festival.

"It's actually a holiday."

"Yes, Mr. Shan, today is the holiday, Chuchu has prepared gifts for the students, and I'm afraid it's celebrating now," Guan Er smiled, "There will be parades in the city later today, but it's lively, let's go together Go and have a look?"

Shan Xuechen made a slight bow with his hand, "I'm used to being alone, I'm afraid I can't go with me."

Guan Shanyuan smiled again: "Master Chen, there is an important tradition in Jinyang in the twelfth lunar month. The rich families will invite their husbands to have a family dinner no matter what on the twelfth lunar month. Respecting teachers is a tradition in Jinyang. Master, you teach I bought so many things for the children, and the parents of the children also want to thank you, the master, and everyone has prepared some beer, and please condescend, sir."

"The parents of the child are very happy to see that the child can recognize more and more characters. They really want to meet Master and thank them."

Shan Xuechen thought about it and let them go.

Jinyang in the twelfth lunar month is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the weather has risen a bit due to the crowds.The festive atmosphere is even stronger than that of the first year. Small vendors selling candied haws and Lantern Festival are all over the entire Suzaku Street.Playing tricks, the great dancer set up a platform by the river, which attracted a lot of applause.

The parents of the students sat down early and formed a neat circle, placing Master Bai in the middle like stars.After exchanging greetings with the parents of the students, it's time to drink, one drink per person, so it's not easy to refuse.After drinking, Shan Xuechen was a little top-heavy, bowed and left the wine table. Shan Xuechen didn't know how to go back on the street. Looking at the bustling crowd, Jin people like to wear red, which covered the moon in the sky.

"King Jin is here!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.

The bustling crowd voluntarily parted a road, and then a flower team came out, the front was the horn blower, Shan Xuechen recognized the horn, it was a symbol of the God of War on the battlefield, and there is nothing wrong with Jin being a martial artist.In the back is a row of Ji people wearing Nuo masks, and behind them are the fire-breathing god Liu Dan, bronze-footed lions and gong-and-drum-faced men.Then there is King Jin's sixteen-carrying chariot.

This walking chariot is composed of base, frame, upright column, railing, roof chair pole and lifting pole.The base is rectangular, and the top cover is in the form of a roof with slopes on all sides. The car body was originally surrounded by curtains, but it was removed for the convenience of viewing; the car poles are bound to the bottom frame, which is different from the later system where the car poles are fixed in the middle of the car body. .The whole body is painted in vermilion, and the vermilion is bloody. Shan Xuechen thought of the strange novels he read a long time ago, probably mixed with blood. It is not surprising that Jin people are martial arts.

The scale and size of this chariot is obviously beyond the reach, but after the Taikang Rebellion, no one cared about it anymore. Now it is a festival, and everything is about having fun.The people inside the chariot could not be seen clearly from a distance, and they were all dressed in fiery red. That was the King of Jinyang. From a distance, Shan Xuechen could only see a red dot, so pampered, so desolate and aloof.

"Long live King Jin", I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and then it seemed like a rehearsal, and the cheers were overwhelming.

The people in the chariot remained motionless, accepting the support of the people under their feet, gods are nothing more than that, Shan Xuechen squinted his eyes, Ji Xiu is so popular, seeing such a grand occasion, it is not a waste of time.Thinking like this, he walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.

He walked so resolutely, the snow had stopped, and he was far away from the busy city, the surrounding was terribly silent, but Shan Xuechen's tears burst down suddenly.

How could you just fall in love with someone like that?

That cold face appeared in Shan Xuechen's mind again, why can't I ever get in touch with you?The moon in the sky is so round and so big, and the snow field is as white as it is, as bright as daytime.

So close, yet so far away.

Shan Xuechen was a little drunk, stumbling and walking, accompanied by alcohol, Shan Xuechen became a little courageous, scolding Ji Xiu as he was not a thing.

In the private room on the top floor of the tallest restaurant in Jinyang, Ji Xiu sipped his wine while watching the bright lights downstairs.

The parade downstairs had obviously reached its climax, and the people in the red sedan chair were receiving the blessings of Wanmin.This is a tradition. Ji Xiu held a small wine glass. After the old prince left, this job was handed over to him. Obviously, the job of parading the streets is not suitable for him. The Jinyang King in the sedan chair is more like a symbol He is an actor, he just finds a guard to take off his clothes. The real King Jinyang has never been an actor.

Ji Xiu was playing with the white jade cup in his hand. The cup was translucent. It was high-quality suet white jade, and there was a warmth in his hand. The engraving on it was the bright-winged Kunpeng, which was obviously made by top craftsmen. .

Ji Xiu suddenly threw the cup down.

The guard next to him gasped.

"Yo, that's too careless." Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes, and then looked at the guard: "Go and pick it up."

The guard seemed to have expected something, and knelt down with a plop.

"My subordinates dare not."

"If you don't pick it up, your Hanzhong old man will say you are useless again."

The guard's back was already drenched with sweat, "My lord, please be aware of the details, Qian Shisan has never done anything harmful to the master!"

Ji Xiu sneered, "It's the twelfth lunar month today, what kind of ceremony are you doing? Zongbing Qian and we have been friends for more than ten years. According to our seniority, I have to call you uncle."

"Uncle married a young lady from Hanzhong, why didn't you tell everyone about such a big thing?" Ji Xiu smiled, "The Liu family seems to be very attached to Jinyang, not only the old man Liu wanted to marry his daughter to me, but also gave him Give me some daughters to some adults in Jinyang."

"From now on, Uncle Qian won't bother you about Hanzhong's affairs."

Ji Xiu stood up, but Qian Shisan didn't dare to say a word, "You'd better pick up the cup, and then send it to Uncle Zhong in the palace," he said and walked downstairs slowly.

He finally found out the important way that Uncle Zhong said that the Liu family in Hanzhong kept forcing marriages. The guard named Qian Shisan kept spreading information about Jinyang to Hanzhong. What a joke, can I still be forced to leave by you?

Ji Xiu thought about it again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Ningxiang Pavilion

"Flowers bloom differently, and flowers fall differently. If you ask about the place of lovesickness, when the flowers bloom and fall. The sills and grasses are united, and they will leave a friend. The spring sorrow is ending, and the spring birds are mourning. If you don’t marry people of the same heart, you will make grasses with the same heart in emptiness. The flowers are full of branches, turning into two lovesickness. The jade chopsticks hang towards the mirror, and the spring breeze knows you. Fall to the person in the seat.

"My lord, is Hongyu not good at serving you?"

Ji Xiu didn't speak, just sat quietly.

The beauty sighed softly, twists and turns, even the gods should be soft.

"It seems that the young master has something on his mind." Hongyu put the piano aside.

"It's okay," Ji Xiu said lightly.

"Young master is a person who cares about," Hongyu said in a positive tone.

Ji Xiu frowned and remained calm.

"There is a person here, it's full, and then it feels heavy. You can feel it when that person moves, and your whole heart is held by that person. This is called caring," Hongyu sighed softly. .

"Why sigh?"

"The hateful person is not me."

"The girl was joking," but it wasn't Ji Xiu who said this, the door was pushed open, and it was Gao Bing who came.

The author has something to say:
