Chu Lang

When the Taoist priest approached, both Chu Yue and Tang Zhong were taken aback, and shouted at the man in unison: "Master?"

The Taoist priest walked under the eaves of the entrance of the Taoist temple, put away the umbrella in a serious manner, frowned, looked Chu Yue and Tang Zhong up and down for a long time, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a disciple as big as you."

The two of them were too shocked to see a familiar face just now, and the phrase "Master" was blurted out subconsciously. Only now that they came back to their senses, did they remember that Master, that old hermit loves face the most. The flowers embroidered on the clothes are all high-quality Suzhou embroidery. There are five people and six people who can dress up whether they go out or not on weekdays. It is impossible for them to appear on a small hill in Chang'an in such ragged clothes.

But the Taoist priest in front of him looks exactly like his master, how can this be explained?

The Taoist priest might have thought of something too, stretched out his skinny hands and scratched his head, and asked the two people in front of him, "Did you guys come from the south? What is the name of that mountain..."

"Qinghe Mountain?" Tang Zhong took the Taoist's words.

The Taoist patted his head and smiled at the two of them: "Yes, yes, that's the name. Which of you is Xiao Tangzhong?"

Tang Zhong pointed to himself.

The Taoist took Tang Zhong's hand, and looked him over carefully from head to toe: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big. Last time I saw you, you were still a baby who would only call me uncle after me..." Then he murmured a few words in a low voice: "At that time I said that your fate is good, but my brother still didn't believe it. When I see you again today, I still think your fate is good. Xiao Tangzhong, cherish the people in front of you, and you will be able to get rich smoothly all your life." It's expensive, and it's a karma that lasts forever."

It was only then that Tang Zhong remembered that he really seemed to have such a master uncle. In his impression, he was crazy, and his relationship with the master seemed to be normal.

Hearing him read such a long passage, Tang Zhong could only smile awkwardly, and didn't take it seriously.

The old man may also have seen that Tang Zhong didn't take his words seriously, he seemed a little angry, and said to him: "Don't believe me, I have always been very accurate in giving orders, that is, it depends on you It's my brother's apprentice, so I told you this."

Tang Zhong was noncommittal, Chu Yue also saw it fresh, and said to the old man, "Uncle Shi, I also came from Qinghe Mountain, so you can show me too."

Only then did the old man notice that there was another person beside Tang Zhong, and he looked up at him, his expression immediately became a little serious, then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, before asking: "Do you want to ask yourself, or do you want to ask yours?" What about the one in the belly?"

Chu Yue was immediately taken aback, she didn't want to understand what the old man meant.Tang Zhong was also shocked, and turned to look at Chu Yue.

It took a while for Chu Yue to realize what the old Taoist had said. He looked as if he had just walked away from Yama of the Tenth Temple, and his face was ashen, and he asked the old man, "Master, what does this mean?"

The old man raised his eyelids, and replied: "Why, you don't know yet? Xiao Tangzhong, come here and check your brother's pulse."

Only then did Tang Zhong wake up from a dream, and put his trembling hand on Chu Yue's slender wrist. After a while, he took his hand away and nodded at Chu Yue: "Indeed, there are indeed... more than two It's been a month."

Although she felt that something was wrong these days, Chu Yue really did not expect that she would be pregnant with a child.Although the men of the Chu family can have children, it is said that it is difficult to conceive.Moreover, the Chu family is a royal family, and in recent generations, it has hardly been heard of Duanxiu, even if there is, it is the one above, and there is no chance of pregnancy at all.Therefore, Chu Yue has never believed that she can really get pregnant.After all, a woman can only have a child after coming to Yuexin. The men of the Chu family are no different from ordinary men. How can they conceive a child?

Chu Yue touched his lower abdomen in disbelief. He seemed to suddenly feel that his stomach really had a little bulge, but the bulge was so subtle that the naked eye could barely see the difference.

Why did you have a child at this time?He was pregnant and didn't dare to use the prescription of feigning death, how would he get out, and how would he be with Xie Changge?A few months later, how should I explain to Honglu Temple the child who appeared out of nowhere?

Full of doubts, he looked at his uncle and said to him, "Can you talk about both of them."

The old Taoist took a brick that fell from the brick from nowhere, squatted on the ground and scratched it around, writing something mysterious and mysterious. After a while, he clapped his hands and stood up. Chu Yue said: "It's a pity, your heart is in the world, but you have a queen's life."

Chu Yue's heart twitched, the queen's order...does it mean that he will marry the prince in the future?

Tang Zhong saw Chu Yue's thoughts, and comforted him, saying, "It doesn't necessarily mean that the crown prince is enthroned. What if King An rebelled?"

Chu Yue's face became even uglier, but he insisted on listening to the old Taoist continue.

"Although it is highly poisonous, as long as the dosage is appropriate, it can cure diseases and save lives. Therefore, I dare not say whether your future experiences will be good or bad for you... Although the road ahead is bumpy, if you can face it well, The future is always good." The old man said, "I can't go into details, and if you reveal too many things, you will be punished by God."

Chu Yue looked hesitant, but the master uncle had already talked about this point, so he was too embarrassed to continue asking, and just said: "Then, my... this, the one in my belly... Uh, where's the baby?"

The old man smiled strangely, and said: "This child is destined to me, maybe we can see him again in the future. Why not call him Linyuan, trembling, as if facing an abyss, walking on thin ice, this name will help him in the future settle down."

The rain stopped during the conversation, but the sky was still gloomy, and it might still rain after a while.

The Taoist looked at the sky, picked up the umbrella he had just thrown by the wall, shook the water on it, then hit it on the top of his head, and said to the two juniors behind him: "The sky is clear, let's go."

"Where is Uncle Master going? You don't belong to this Taoist temple?" Tang Zhong asked.

Without turning his head, the Taoist waved to Chu Yue and Tang Zhong, and said, "Like you, I also came to hide from the rain. The road ahead is uncertain, and I have to go forward to know where I will end up. This is life." ,children."

The old man waved his sleeves, leaving Chu and Tang with a back that looked a little crazy.

After the old man left, Tang Zhong was worried about the impact the old man's words would have on Chu Yue, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Uncle Shi is not very reliable, and he was also crazy in the past. You see, Master never mentioned him. Think about it." I also feel ashamed of him. Ziyu, you can't believe everything he says."

"I'd rather believe it... But I think what he said before he left was good. The road ahead is unknown. If you don't go forward, how can you know whether the road ahead is good or bad? If the road ahead is bumpy, I will After leveling the road, if people's hearts are changeable, I just stick to my heart. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, so what do I have to worry about?" After finishing speaking, Chu Yue's hand touched her lower abdomen unconsciously.

Chu Yue thought about it herself, but Tang Zhong still felt uneasy, and said to him: "Let's go to the yard together to get two pieces of red silk, and hang it on the tree to make a good fortune. I always think that the old man's stupid words are not very auspicious. .”

The two of them went to the small courtyard of the Taoist temple together and asked for two pieces of red cloth that were as long as the forearm, and then asked the Taoist who was watching the courtyard to borrow a writing brush. Chu Yue picked up the brush and wrote the words "Ping An An" on the cloth strips , the small characters in italics, every stroke is sharp.Tang Zhong also wrote it, and it said "everything goes well".

The people in the world have thousands of thoughts, in the final analysis, they are all in these eight characters.

The peach trees outside the Taoist temple were not tall, but the ground was muddy and slippery just after it rained, so Chu Yue handed the red silk to Tang Zhong and asked him to hang it on his behalf.The breeze after the rain was blowing the red cloth, Chu Yue stood under the peach tree, closed her eyes and meditated piously: May this child and I be safe and sound, and may I not have to wander in the future and have a stable home.Desires and reasons can last a lifetime and grow old.

When Chu Yue didn't know anything before, she was not afraid of slippery roads in rainy days, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with going up the mountain. Now that she knows that she has a body, she starts to have fear, for fear that she will accidentally hurt the child, so she goes back On the way, he became cautious, Tang Zhong kept helping him, for fear that he might make a mistake.

Nervously going down the mountain all the way, when she returned to the inn, Chu Yue found that her clothes were already soaked in sweat.

"Go and take a bath, let's dry the sweat later, be careful not to catch a cold." Tang Zhong said.

Chu Yue bit her lip, a little nervous: "But..."

"Didn't you come here well when you didn't know it before? Why now that you know it, you don't even dare to take a bath." Tang Zhong joked.

Chu Yue said: "After all, it's the first time I'm pregnant, so I'm still a little scared."

Gulzhen passed by: "What? Pregnant with what? Who is pregnant?"

Tang Zhongchao slapped Gulzhen on the head and said, "You're pregnant. Go back to your room if you have nothing to do, and don't wander around."

Gu Erzhen returned to the room obediently. After a while, a song "The Complaint of the Concubine Xiang" came from Tang Zhong's room.

Tang Zhong: Don't stop me, I'll beat him right now.

Chu Yue: Brother, calm down.

After finishing Gurzhen, Tang Zhong came back and said to Chu Yue, "How about this, I will wait for you outside with Qingsong, if there is any accident, just call me."

Only then did Chu Yue feel relieved, and called Qingsong to prepare hot water for bathing for him.

Chu Yue lived on the mountain since she was a child, and never lived a life that a prince should have, so she did not have the squeamishness of an aristocrat. She dressed and undressed herself every day, and rarely let Qingsong take care of her.

After untiing her clothes and soaking in the water, Chu Yue had a chance to take a good look at her stomach.His once flat belly did have a slight curvature, but only a little.This little arc that is hardly noticeable actually represents the growth of a small life, which makes Chu Yue feel very incredible.

It is still so small that it may not even have a specific shape, but after staying in my stomach for ten months, it will become a crying and laughing baby.Chu Yue felt the fragility and difficulty of life for the first time, and at the same time, a subtle sense of responsibility welled up in her heart.He couldn't wait for Xie Changge to see their baby, and wanted Xie Changge to share the joy and worry with him.

The author has something to say:

Tang Zhong: The prince may not be able to ascend the throne. What if King An rebelled?

Xie Changge & Xie Zimo:? ? ? ?
