[Comprehensive] Seeing a male god is wrong for life
Chapter 93: Yanhai Taihe
Regarding his brother's worries, Cai Mingjun remained unmoved, and only said: "I heard about the beautiful scenery of Wudang when I was young, and now I have nothing to do, so I naturally want to go and see it."
Cai Ming didn't believe such words—well, he believed half of them.And the remaining part: "But Brother Zhang is going to Wudang Mountain?" If this is really the case, Cai Ming also feels that he can still understand Zhang Junbao's thoughts.
After all, Zhang Junbao is a Taoist priest, and Wudang Mountain has been an important place for Taoist activities since ancient times.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Han Dynasty, many dignitaries came here to practice. After the birth of Taoism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudang Mountain gradually became the center of Taoist activities in the Central Plains.From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats resigned from office or abandoned their homes and gathered in Wudang Bigu to practice Taoism.
Xie Yun and Xu Ziping in the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Qiu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties all abandoned their officials and went to the mountains to practice. "Shen Xian Jian" also said that Zhuge Liang, a military strategist of the Shu Han Dynasty, went to Wudang Mountain to learn Taoism.In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Wudang Daoist Temple was highly praised by the emperors, not only the Wulong Temple, but also many famous high-level Daoists who lived in seclusion.During the Song dynasty, Deng Ruozhuo, Fang Zhangxu, Xie Tiandi, Sun Jiran and other high-level people went to the mountains to practice Taoism and publicize the Taoism.
To sum up, Cai Ming also sincerely felt that it was normal for Zhang Junbao to want to go to Wudang Mountain.
But it's not normal to bring his sister along!
Cai Ming also didn't think that this would be proposed by Zhang Junbao, a master of Taoism in his heart. To be honest, his first reaction was actually: Could it be that my sister can't be idle anymore and wants to go deep into the enemy's camp? thing?
This idea is not without reason. After all, although the Yuan Dynasty was in foreign wars—for example, when it went to sea to conquer Japan and Southeast Asian countries, such as the Yuan-Japanese War, the Yuan-Vietnam War, the Yuan-Myanmar War, and the Yuan-Claw War—it repeatedly Failure, frequent coups, political corruption, and powerful ministers intervening in politics, but the favor of Taoism has been for many years.Wudang Mountain is also an important dojo for the Mongolian emperor to "proclaim to heaven and celebrate his birthday". Among the people, there are also many believers who go to the mountain to pilgrimage to the mountain, and the incense is very strong.Many famous Taoists developed in Wudang, and now it is a Taoist holy place as famous as Longhu Mountain, the main mountain of Tianshi Taoism.
Zhang Junbao is a well-known Taoist master in the Jianghu, but he appeared too rarely and too mysteriously. The people who knew that he was on Cai Mingjun's side were just a few people around Cai Mingjun.When he went to Wudang Mountain as a Taoist disciple, he would not attract anyone's inquiry, and he would take it for granted, and even the people he brought with him would not have too much inquiry - this is what Cai Mingjun wanted. !
Of course, this kind of truth cannot be said.So let Cai Ming guess casually, even if he has already guessed the truth, Cai Mingjun still insists that he is going to recuperate.
At the end, he lovingly touched the hair of his grown-up brother, and said softly, "Sister, I'm waiting for you to pick me up, Zizi."
Cai Mingye was confirmed dead.
After all, the momentary excitement had to pass, and Cai Ming quickly cheered up and started to deal with the things that the elder sister handed over to him.After he came to power, Cai Mingjun also stayed for a while to pressure his younger brother, but he didn't stay long if he really wanted to say something.
Now that he has retired, he shouldn't interfere too much.There is no benefit in doing so, and it will damage Cai Mingye's dignity and not help him establish his own prestige. People who do things lowly will also follow their minds. In short, there are many disadvantages.Cai Mingjun is not a person who loves power, and the reason for staying these days is only because of worry.
And after she judged that the younger brother was able to take charge of himself, deal with what he should do and become a competent leader, she simply let go of him.
The younger brother was still struggling in the sea of official documents, while the older sister waved her sleeves without even a cloud, and followed Zhenren Zhang with only two sleeves of breeze.
After all, Zhang Zhenren is not a rich man, since he decided to go with him, of course he still has to abide by his personality.
Zhang Junbao just laughed it off. Cai Mingjun was very reliable in business matters, but he would always slip up and make mistakes in some trivial matters. After so many years, he had long been used to it.
"Actually, I still have money with me." Cai Mingjun couldn't hold back, and justified himself.
Zhang Junbao: "It doesn't matter." He said, "It's good that I will lead the way, Mingjun, you just need to rest and recuperate well, I will be there for everything."
"you do not need to worry."
He repeated it again.
Cai Mingjun hummed, but he felt that his friend's attitude was too pretentious, but he didn't know what he was worrying about... This trouble didn't bother Cai Mingjun for too long. After she went to Wudang Mountain, she knew her friend's troubles. It was originally hesitating how to introduce their relationship to outsiders.
As for brothers and sisters, they really don't look alike at all, and their temperament and charm are too far apart, Zhuhua can't win people's trust very much.If it is a father and daughter, the age will not pass.
Zhang Junbao also has old friends here in Wudang. When he was an official, he was always single, and it can't be hidden from others. If it is said that he only had a child after resigning from office, obviously his age can't be wiped out.And if it is a master and apprentice, they really don't have that sense of priority when they get along.
If you're just a friend...
"It will ruin your reputation, Mingjun."
Zhang Junbao said so.
People's words are terrifying, and words can devour people.Where is there no shortage of people with dark thoughts? Zhang Junbao regards Cai Mingjun as an important friend, so how could he have the heart to make her suffer such grievances?
"That's true." Cai Mingjun nodded in agreement, "This is not good for you, Fu Yuan. There are many people who are bright and bright, but there is never a shortage of villains. Fu Yuan, you can finally consider these... ..." Zhang Junbao, who has been messing around all these years and is about to throw all his thoughts when he was an official into the sky, has finally regained his accomplishments in the past. Cai Mingjun has a strange feeling in his heart that the children at home have grown up. satisfaction and pride.
Zhang Junbao sighed helplessly, and called out: "Ming Jun..."
"Hush." Cai Mingjun put two fingers around his mouth, as if silent. "Don't call me that when you're away from home, Fu Yuan. It's fine if it's just you and me, but it's always bad for others to hear you."
Zhang Junbao humbly asked: "Then what should I do?"
"Just call me Yunshui." Cai Mingjun said, too many people know the word Yanji, so of course they can't use it, and only a few people know it. "This is an alias I used myself when I was young. Few people know about it. It doesn't matter if I use it now."
"Yunshui." Zhang Junbao called softly.
Cai Mingjun smiled at him, and said: "Fu Yuan, I thought of what to say." Facing Zhang Junbao's asking gaze, she calmly said: "If someone asks, we will be called husband and wife." After many years The leader of the rebel army, aside from other things for the time being, Cai Mingjun's skin is really thicker, and he doesn't blush when he says such words, but he still has a calm and unhurried momentum.
It was in stark contrast with Zhang Junbao.
The woman who should have been ashamed didn't take it seriously and calmed down, but the man who should have been more calm blushed instantly, and even stuttered when he spoke. "This...how did this happen?" Although Zhang Junbao was already a mature Daoist, Zhang Junbao was still at a loss as he was many years ago at this time, like a fledgling young man. "How can this be!"
He was almost ripe, blushing almost smoking, Cai Mingjun reckoned that his mind should also be a complete mess.But even so, the force with which he flicked his sleeve was gentle, causing the nearby trees to sway, and it would never affect her.Those words that he swallowed were all for her sake.
So she became inexplicably happy in her heart: "Why not? Don't think too much about it, it's just a stopgap measure, huh?" Cai Mingjun was thinking about what to do, thinking that he should probably relax for a while It's time.
Set a small goal first, let's see all the famous scenery on Wudang Mountain!
After Cai Mingjun made his decision, Zhang Junbao naturally wanted to accompany him—after all, Cai Mingjun was very sick and a weak woman, even though he was on Wudang Mountain, he was not at ease to let her act alone.Besides, although there are many wonders on Wudang Mountain, they are not in any flat place. Even Cai Mingjun is out of breath after walking a lot, what will he do if he is not with him!
After convincing himself in this way, Zhang Junbao held several Dao discussion sessions—he is also a well-known Daoist, and now that he is in Wudang Mountain, a group of Taoist priests with high attainments in Taoism gather together to discuss Dao the most. ——Accompanied Cai Mingjun to watch the (Grand Prize) (open) (wind) (eye) scene (world) with Cai Mingjun in his busy schedule.
I didn't realize at all that I had left a deep impression of "husband and wife" in the hearts of those comrades.
Cai Mingjun didn't notice either, but this didn't prevent her from immersing herself in the beauty of this world.
It was when watching the sunrise in Wudang, after the sun rose, I stared at Zhang Junbao for a little longer.
Zhang Junbao looked a little strange, and asked what's wrong with his eyes?
"It's nothing, I just suddenly figured out something." Cai Mingjun said softly.
Although Zhang Junbao didn't know what his friend understood, it didn't prevent him from feeling happy for Cai Mingjun.He showed a blessed smile: "This is a good thing."
He said it with great sincerity.
"Well, that's right—it's a good thing." Cai Mingjun also nodded, her voice was a little low, and the nodding was not so much to go along with her friends, but to be more sure of her own judgment.
At this time, the sun has risen and the temperature has also begun to rise.Zhang Junbao saw that Cai Mingjun's forehead was sweating, so he asked: "Are you going back, Mingjun?"
Cai Mingjun obediently agreed—and then locked himself in the room after returning, and did not leave the room for ten days.The food was brought in and brought out without much movement, the maid in charge of taking care of Cai Mingjun's daily life was almost in tears.
They live in a newly built house by themselves - Cai Ming, who knows that he can't change his sister's decision, also started to prepare early, and the layout is according to the home.There is no Daotong here, but there is a maid brought by Cai Mingjun from home. After all, it is too unreliable to take care of himself, especially Cai Mingjun is a master who has never lacked a maid by his side.
This maid has taken care of Cai Mingjun for many years, Zhang Junbao believes that she can take good care of Cai Mingjun now, so when he sent Cai Mingjun back and received an invitation to discuss the Tao, he went to the appointment without worrying at all.That is to say, he is actually quite curious about these famous fellow disciples who lived on Wudang Mountain, so he might gain a lot from discussing Taoism?
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Junbao went out to attend the appointment, and the maid who was left behind wanted to cry anxiously.She used to be very confident in taking good care of her young lady, after all, she has rich experience, but now...the maid who has no courage to disobey Cai Mingjun just wants to know when Daoist Zhang will come back.
The young lady is not in good health, after these few days...she dare not continue to think about it.
When she finally arrived at Zhang Junbao, she almost burst into tears: "Master Zhang, you are finally back!" She rushed up to greet her, and opened her mouth to beg: "Please go and have a look quickly, miss locked herself in It’s been a few days in the room, and I haven’t even eaten a few mouthfuls of food. If this continues, the lady will not be able to hold on!”
Zhang Junbao, who had just returned from the seminar and was still reminiscing about other people's brilliant talks, suddenly changed color.
There was a fragment in his mind for a while, and he didn't realize what he had done until he opened the door of Cai Mingjun's room.I feel ashamed, and feel that I have offended my friend, but now that I have reached this level... In the end, the worry in my heart has prevailed. The door that was only half opened was completely opened, and the Taoist man hesitated for a moment. Still stepped in.
Zhang Junbao was actually quite familiar with the layout of Cai Mingjun's room. After all, he had entered many times, and at this time he was familiar with the way, so he went in - and found Cai Mingjun very smoothly.
Fortunately, nothing as bad as he imagined happened.
Although he was startled and nervous when he first saw Cai Mingjun lying on the desk, but after he calmed down, he knew that things were not what he thought, and Cai Mingjun had no accident or fainted.
She just fell asleep.
Zhang Junbao thought of what the maid said before, and felt it was reasonable.
These days...he must be very tired.
"Huh? Is that all?" Cai Mingjun was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Junbao's self-statement, and after resting, her energy returned, not to mention being radiant, but she did not look tired either.She raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't you be curious about Fu Yuan, what have I been doing these days?"
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'm curious."
Cai Mingjun asked, "Then why didn't you ask me?"
Zhang Junbao said: "If Mingjun wants to teach me to know, you will naturally tell me. Yes--ask or not, what's the difference?"
"That's true." Cai Mingjun didn't think there was anything wrong with these words, and after a little thought, he quickly skipped this topic.She took out a stack of manuscripts under the inkstone and handed it to Zhang Junbao. "This is something I wrote, please take a look at it."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a faint blush on her snow-white face.
Cai Mingjun was originally a rare beauty, but at this time, Bai Xue was flushed, and her cheeks were full of charm, adding a bit of beauty.It's just that Zhang Junbao was immersed in the article at this time, but no one saw it: "Fu in white clothes—?" The first thing Zhang Junbao saw was the name of the article written at the top, and he subconsciously read it out.
"Exactly!" Cai Mingjun responded very calmly, not at all weak.
What Cai Mingjun handed to Zhang Junbao was a Fu written in the style of Han Fu.
Zhang Junbao looked at it seriously.
——Before he opens his mouth to comment, we should first review Zhang Zhenren's character design.
Appreciating Master Huolong, he has his own unique insights in Taoism, and correcting one is another master of Taoism.This is the current view of Zhang Junbao in the world.
There is nothing wrong with this of course, it's just not very comprehensive.In addition to these, he was also a literati who was admitted as the number one scholar in civil and military affairs at the age of 14, served as the magistrate of Boling County, and met Liu Bingzhong, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and Lian Xixian, a famous minister.Although his knowledge is not as extensive as that of Cai Mingjun, who is well-read, there is no need to question his literary accomplishment.
Therefore, he can fully understand Cai Mingjun's Fu and appreciate the taste.
Having said so much, in fact, it is just to affirm this point.
This Ci Fu written by Cai Mingjun is indeed a rare masterpiece. It is short, concise and elegant.
Zhang Junbao is not stupid, and his literary accomplishment is enough for him to understand the meaning of this Fu - and he naturally knows what Cai Mingjun's move means.
His restrained nature made his face bloodshot, and the thin sheets of paper were hotter than hot coals.However, the literati's yearning and appreciation for masterpieces made him reluctant to let go. After reading it once, he continued to read it a second time, and at the same time he was still reciting silently.
Half are infected, what about the other half?In his heart...does he really not have the same intention?
Two completely opposite moods collided in his heart. The no longer young knight pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Mingjun, this article..." He met Cai Mingjun's gaze, calmly and expectantly. Yes, how many things are hidden in it?No one can guess.But, but—the true feelings that are no different from those expressed in the text are real!
He stopped in the middle of a sentence, as if his heart had been hit hard by something.Zhang Junbao was speechless, he was stunned for a long time before completing the second half of the sentence.
"There is the legacy of Cai Zhonglang."
Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang are the last masters of Fu in the Han Dynasty. His language is fresh, and his works are often straightforward and full of human feelings. The few pieces that have been handed down today are all rare masterpieces, among which "Speaking Fu" is the best.Zhang Junbao's comparison with Cai Yong is already a very high praise - considering that Cai Yong is Cai Mingjun's ancestor, this praise needs to be added a little more.
Cai Mingjun, who was praised, just smiled lightly and said his praise lightly.
——It's light and airy, without any sincerity.
Obviously, he felt that he deserved this kind of praise, and felt that he was not inferior to his ancestors from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of natural pride made Zhang Junbao laugh a little bit, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.Mrs. Cai herself is extremely talented. She was able to write poems that can be passed down for a hundred years when she was a girl. Now that she has gone through years of honing, what she writes has a bit more profound heritage.Cai Zhonglang's writing style is of course very good, but Cai Mingjun's Baiyi Fu, which was inspired by occasional retreat for several days, is not bad.
"It was the Tsing Yi bestowed by my ancestors that inspired me." Cai Mingjun said.
"Tsing Yi Fu?" Zhang Junbao was a little surprised, obviously he hadn't read this touching work with sincere feelings, straightforward style, bold intentions and innovative ideas... Although to put it bluntly, it is almost the same as a confession love letter.
But it's also really touching.
Cai Mingjun was very interested and wanted to recite a few sentences on the spot. Zhang Junbao used to let her go, so naturally he would not allow anything at this time.
"Gold produces sand and gravel, and pearls produce clam mud. Tanzi is slim, born in humbleness....It is not the cow girl, separated from Hewei. Thinking about Er, I am hungry."
The length of Tsing Yi Fu is not long, it was originally a small Fu.Although Cai Mingjun has not read it several times, but she has a good memory, and the benefits of her photographic memory are reflected at this time. Even if she has not reviewed it for many years, she can still recite it fluently - and recite it with rhythm and rhythm. Touching and very emotional.
It's just... Maybe he was too involved. Although he was reading this kind of bold and straightforward article expressing the love between men and women, Cai Mingjun didn't blush at all, and was very calm.
On the contrary, the face of the one listening was even redder.
"How do you feel about Fu Yuan?" Cai Mingjun didn't turn a corner, and asked frankly after he finished reciting it.
It sounds like you are just asking about this "Fu on Tsing Yi", but it has a different meaning.And this deeper meaning, the two are also well aware.
"Tsing Yi Fu" is indeed a very touching work.In this short fu, Cai Yong described in detail a woman in Tsing Yi who was born in a humble family, but has a beautiful and dignified appearance and a noble and pure heart.He also narrates a love affair with sincere and frank words and the tone of his own experience, expressing his admiration and admiration for the humble maidservant in Tsing Yi.The "Fu in White Clothes" just written by Cai Mingjun also continued the style of "Fu in Qing Yi".
Not only did he portray the image of a knight in white with the same heart, but he also boldly and straightforwardly expressed his admiration for the knight in the text.
Zhang Junbao wanted to pretend to be a fool, but he couldn't pass the test in his heart.Cai Mingjun was sincerely expressing his heart to him, how could he be so hasty and vague?This is too disrespectful.
It's just...he smiled wryly in his heart, after all, he was not as straightforward as a woman like Cai Mingjun.
"Naturally, it is a rare and good article." Zhang Junbao said, "Ming Jun, your "Ode on White Clothes" is said to be imitated from this, and the concept is also similar..." He struggled for a while before continuing, "The style is also inherited in the same strain."
Cai Mingjun said: "This new article I wrote, Fu Yuan, do you still like it?"
"Such a masterpiece, I naturally like it."
Cai Mingjun asked, "Then... what about me?"
After a moment of silence, followed by a soft sigh.
Cai Mingjun's fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched a little tighter for this, but his face was calm, as if he was just asking a small question that he didn't care about.
So, it doesn't matter what answer you get.
Because I never cared.
is this real?Of course not, but the vague relief in my heart is not fake.Cai Mingjun drooped his eyes and his eyelashes drooped slightly, so no one could see those waves.
This is also good.
Cai Mingjun said to himself in his heart, your body has already been broken down by yourself, and you don't have a few years to live, but Fu Yuan still has a long time. If this is the case, no response is the best. good result.You only have such a short time, why bother to harm others?
Knowing that it is best to keep it in your heart, so as not to hurt anyone, but you still opened your mouth...
"To have this true love, I am lucky in this life." Zhang Junbao said.
Fortunately it was rejected.
Cai Mingjun thought about this, and then said: "I just want to ask..." After saying a few words, he stopped. The woman's beautiful face showed a rare look of surprise, and even her voice was full of excitement. Full of surprise: "Fu Yuan, what did you just say?"
"I already know Mingjun's mind." The Taoist priest who was asked was calm, "I am also the same."
How could it be ignored?That was the omen that started long ago. At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Cai Mingjun spoke of the throbbing in his heart that he didn't even notice when he was called husband and wife.
When did this friendship begin?It seems that there is no conclusion. He admired her talent when she was just Miss Cai. After she became the leader of the rebel army, he cared about her safety. For such a long period of time, each other was frank and accumulated. Nor is the friendship of this secret love connected.
When did it change?It doesn't seem to matter anymore.He thought that the intention in his heart was not false.
That's enough.
No more, no need.
"In the years to come, I also want to walk with Mingjun and you."
The Taoist, who is used to few clever words, was also clumsy at this time, hesitating and holding back for a long time, and finally he just uttered such a sentence.
But it is the sincerity of offering.
He has stared at this woman for so long, watching her go through these years as a bystander.But after that, he was unwilling to be a bystander anymore.
He wanted to be involved, to spend the rest of her life with her.
"Do you want to leave me alone?" Cai Mingjun smiled, "This is not something a husband should do."
"This... this is out of courtesy!" Zhang Junbao struggled for a long time, and finally said this, although it was still unavoidable.
Cai Mingjun said: "Well - why?"
Zhang Junbao said: "You and I are not married yet, such words..." He got stuck again. "It's really inappropriate."
"It doesn't matter." Cai Mingjun smiled at him, "Left and right, we are now a 'husband and wife'." It's just that it was fake before, but now it's real.
And since it has been declared to the outside world in this way, the step of getting married can be omitted.
The process is not important, the important thing is the result.
Now that he has received a response, then——it is impossible to let go.
"It's just a matter of talking to Yingzi."
In the end Cai Mingjun said that at this moment, she only thought of informing her younger brother——Uncle Shi naturally had a chance to talk about it, and there were other things that were more distant, which were not within the scope of her consideration at all.As for the marriage process that was omitted, Cai Mingjun didn't take it too seriously.
It's too troublesome, it's better to forget about it.
On the contrary, the man was uneasy. After thinking about it, he felt extremely guilty. In the end, Cai Mingjun threw the book in his arms, and he temporarily got rid of that stupid look.
But having said that, probably only Cai Mingjun can see the stupid appearance of Zhang Zhenren, who is famous all over the world, right?
"When I think about it, I'm actually quite happy." Cai Mingjun mentioned this casually when he wrote a family letter to his younger brother Cai Mingye.
Cai Ming, who received the letter from the family, didn't know for a while whether he should be dissatisfied with his sister who casually found someone to marry without a formal ceremony, or whether he should feel dissatisfied with being eaten by his sister. The dead brother Zhang mourned in silence.
After struggling for a long time, Cai Ming finally felt—
Forget it, sister, as long as you are happy.
Left and right big brother Zhang has always been spoiled by his sister, so he must follow his sister at this time.
Might as well be having fun with it.
The young man who had been away from his identity as Young Master Cai for many years still couldn't help but quietly arranged a new brother-in-law.
But this has nothing to do with people far away on Wudang Mountain.
Wudang Mountain is really a good place, the climate is warm in winter and cool in summer, and most of the people living there are moral people, and the atmosphere of Taoism is extremely strong.
It is very suitable for Taoist priests to study or discuss with a group of Taoist masters to further their Taoism, and it is also very suitable for a sick person to come here to recuperate.
At least clean, hard to think about.
Normally, that's true.
But no matter how good the place is, it can't be worth the lack of cooperation of the parties involved. Wudang Mountain is indeed very good, but it can't make Cai Mingjun healthy.
When Cai Mingjun first came here, she really had some unspeakable intentions, but she only persisted for three years.It's not that she gave up, but that her increasingly weakened body can no longer support her to continue.Cai Mingjun is not someone who likes to embarrass himself. After realizing this, he handed over all the things at hand and started a formal retirement life.
Well, before that, it can only be called semi-retirement at most, after all, I am in Wudang and my heart is in the rebel army.If the mind is never relaxed, how can it truly cultivate the body?
Zhang Junbao, who sent his wife's manuscripts to his brother-in-law in batches, didn't feel that his wife was taking care of his body now, even though she always said that there was nothing to do.
Cai Mingjun had this problem a long time ago, and he tried to persuade him.But every time it's the same result, I was very obedient when I answered, but I don't remember it at all afterward-it's even worse in recent times!
Zhang Junbao had known for a long time that his wife had an excellent memory and could never forget, and could memorize a short poem that he had read for many years smoothly.But he didn't expect... It turns out that there really are such people in the world, who can write out the books they read more than ten years ago, even more than 20 years ago, word by word, without any pause in the middle.
When he was a teenager studying, he also read Cai Zhaoji's story.Being able to silently write out one-tenth of the books left by his father without any mistakes or omissions after more than ten years is already a very amazing skill, but what Cai Mingjun is doing now is even more frightening.
How many books had she read and how many had she written down?
This is probably a secret that only Cai Mingjun himself knows.It's as if no one knows how much energy she spent to memorize these books completely, and how she has been able to ensure that her memory has not faded over the years, and she can still remember those manuscripts clearly even today.
All Zhang Junbao can know is the candles that are lit until late at night every day, the huge amount of paper and ink used, and the manuscripts that have been sorted out and bound by him.
With such heavy work, even a healthy person would be very exhausted, let alone Cai Mingjun, a patient who is weak and should take a good rest?There were many times when Zhang Junbao wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words in the end.
useless.
Zhang Junbao is well aware of this, and nothing can stop Cai Mingjun from dedicating herself to her responsibilities and ideals—she has always felt that she has the responsibility to pass on the Cai family's collection of books, which was planted when the family collection was burned. The obsession is also her ideal when she was young.
Back then when she was the leader of the rebel army, she would silently read a few books in her spare time, but now that she has nothing to do, this kind of thinking naturally prevailed.
No one can tell her to give up.
The younger brother can't beg, the husband and wife can't be affectionate, and they can't do anything.And what's even more tragic... Even though he knew his wife was ruining her body like this, he couldn't say anything to stop her.
"This is Ming Jun's wish..."
How can he ignore this and stop his wife?
The only thing he can do is to inject internal energy into his wife every day.
This is a habit that has lasted for many years. At first it was to support his wife so that she could feel better, but now it is to hang her life.
Daomen's inner strength is used to be long and flexible, and it is very good at nourishing the body. People who practice these martial arts generally live a long life, and the effect of warming and nourishing other people's bodies is also quite good.As a beneficiary, Cai Mingjun has lamented the convenience and usefulness of internal force many times, but Zhang Junbao doesn't think so.
If there is such a miracle, why can I only watch you weaken day by day?Why can't I see you getting healthy?Why... can't I save you?
Countless thoughts are piled up layer by layer in my heart, but I can't stop this from staying the same.It's fine if you don't understand Cai Mingjun's thoughts, but Zhang Junbao is able to understand Cai Mingjun's wishes and ideals, as well as the responsibilities she has imposed on herself on her shoulders, so those words that stop her are even more difficult to say.
They were like-minded people, and Cai Mingjun always said that Zhang Junbao was the person who understood her best.It is precisely because of this—since he knows Cai Mingjun so well and understands her thoughts, how can he convince himself to prevent his wife from realizing her wishes and practicing her ambitions and ideals?
"I can't refuse Mingjun..."
This also hit the point, so Cai Ming also sighed. "Sister doesn't listen to persuasion at all..." What can he do as a younger brother, he can't force his sister to rest?
"Mingjun has obsessions." Zhang Junbao said, "She has always felt that she has the responsibility to pass on what she knows, and she has been doing this all these years."
"I know that too." Cai Ming also interjected. He also ran into Cai Mingjun's silent writing many times back then, but Cai Mingjun was still very measured at that time. Why did he suddenly become so anxious now that even his own body was in a hurry? regardless of?
Zhang Junbao couldn't answer Cai Mingye's doubts at all, so what should he say?Cai Mingjun's eagerness is precisely because he has a premonition that his life is not long, and silent writing consumes a lot of her energy, which further drags down her body and destroys her health, making her Getting closer and closer to the expected ending.
This is an unsolvable cycle, unless Cai Mingjun is willing to give up silent writing, but this is impossible--in the face of the urgency brought about by the approaching death, even a reprieve becomes impossible.
This fact is too cruel.
A martial arts master and a leader of the rebel army just looked at each other like this, they were both clearly wise and resourceful, but at this moment they couldn't even think of a solution.
In the end, when Zhang Junbao returned to Wudang Mountain, he only carried a lot of medicine that Cai Ming had also prepared.
The old doctor who provided these medicinal materials and finished products did not show up, and the old man who had been sick for many years for Cai Mingjun refused to deliver these by himself.It was as if his most disobedient patient had healed and no longer needed medicine.
——But in the end, this is just self-deception.
The medicine that should be taken is still taken, and Cai Mingjun never makes unnecessary struggles on this point.She still has a lot of things to do, and she will naturally not refuse this kind of thing that can save her life.
Even if you can live a minute and a second longer, it is good.
"I want to live longer." Cai Mingjun admits that he is a greedy person, and he doesn't feel any shame in having such expectations.It was rare for her to come out to have a shower, and it was also rare for her to pray to God.When she was kneeling in front of the statue of Zhenwu God, no one taught her, she didn't understand anything, she just murmured: "I just ask God to give me some more time..."
It doesn't need much, as long as she can finish those books silently and recite the words of the elders in the family.
Cai Ming didn't believe such words—well, he believed half of them.And the remaining part: "But Brother Zhang is going to Wudang Mountain?" If this is really the case, Cai Ming also feels that he can still understand Zhang Junbao's thoughts.
After all, Zhang Junbao is a Taoist priest, and Wudang Mountain has been an important place for Taoist activities since ancient times.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Han Dynasty, many dignitaries came here to practice. After the birth of Taoism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudang Mountain gradually became the center of Taoist activities in the Central Plains.From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats resigned from office or abandoned their homes and gathered in Wudang Bigu to practice Taoism.
Xie Yun and Xu Ziping in the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Qiu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties all abandoned their officials and went to the mountains to practice. "Shen Xian Jian" also said that Zhuge Liang, a military strategist of the Shu Han Dynasty, went to Wudang Mountain to learn Taoism.In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Wudang Daoist Temple was highly praised by the emperors, not only the Wulong Temple, but also many famous high-level Daoists who lived in seclusion.During the Song dynasty, Deng Ruozhuo, Fang Zhangxu, Xie Tiandi, Sun Jiran and other high-level people went to the mountains to practice Taoism and publicize the Taoism.
To sum up, Cai Ming also sincerely felt that it was normal for Zhang Junbao to want to go to Wudang Mountain.
But it's not normal to bring his sister along!
Cai Ming also didn't think that this would be proposed by Zhang Junbao, a master of Taoism in his heart. To be honest, his first reaction was actually: Could it be that my sister can't be idle anymore and wants to go deep into the enemy's camp? thing?
This idea is not without reason. After all, although the Yuan Dynasty was in foreign wars—for example, when it went to sea to conquer Japan and Southeast Asian countries, such as the Yuan-Japanese War, the Yuan-Vietnam War, the Yuan-Myanmar War, and the Yuan-Claw War—it repeatedly Failure, frequent coups, political corruption, and powerful ministers intervening in politics, but the favor of Taoism has been for many years.Wudang Mountain is also an important dojo for the Mongolian emperor to "proclaim to heaven and celebrate his birthday". Among the people, there are also many believers who go to the mountain to pilgrimage to the mountain, and the incense is very strong.Many famous Taoists developed in Wudang, and now it is a Taoist holy place as famous as Longhu Mountain, the main mountain of Tianshi Taoism.
Zhang Junbao is a well-known Taoist master in the Jianghu, but he appeared too rarely and too mysteriously. The people who knew that he was on Cai Mingjun's side were just a few people around Cai Mingjun.When he went to Wudang Mountain as a Taoist disciple, he would not attract anyone's inquiry, and he would take it for granted, and even the people he brought with him would not have too much inquiry - this is what Cai Mingjun wanted. !
Of course, this kind of truth cannot be said.So let Cai Ming guess casually, even if he has already guessed the truth, Cai Mingjun still insists that he is going to recuperate.
At the end, he lovingly touched the hair of his grown-up brother, and said softly, "Sister, I'm waiting for you to pick me up, Zizi."
Cai Mingye was confirmed dead.
After all, the momentary excitement had to pass, and Cai Ming quickly cheered up and started to deal with the things that the elder sister handed over to him.After he came to power, Cai Mingjun also stayed for a while to pressure his younger brother, but he didn't stay long if he really wanted to say something.
Now that he has retired, he shouldn't interfere too much.There is no benefit in doing so, and it will damage Cai Mingye's dignity and not help him establish his own prestige. People who do things lowly will also follow their minds. In short, there are many disadvantages.Cai Mingjun is not a person who loves power, and the reason for staying these days is only because of worry.
And after she judged that the younger brother was able to take charge of himself, deal with what he should do and become a competent leader, she simply let go of him.
The younger brother was still struggling in the sea of official documents, while the older sister waved her sleeves without even a cloud, and followed Zhenren Zhang with only two sleeves of breeze.
After all, Zhang Zhenren is not a rich man, since he decided to go with him, of course he still has to abide by his personality.
Zhang Junbao just laughed it off. Cai Mingjun was very reliable in business matters, but he would always slip up and make mistakes in some trivial matters. After so many years, he had long been used to it.
"Actually, I still have money with me." Cai Mingjun couldn't hold back, and justified himself.
Zhang Junbao: "It doesn't matter." He said, "It's good that I will lead the way, Mingjun, you just need to rest and recuperate well, I will be there for everything."
"you do not need to worry."
He repeated it again.
Cai Mingjun hummed, but he felt that his friend's attitude was too pretentious, but he didn't know what he was worrying about... This trouble didn't bother Cai Mingjun for too long. After she went to Wudang Mountain, she knew her friend's troubles. It was originally hesitating how to introduce their relationship to outsiders.
As for brothers and sisters, they really don't look alike at all, and their temperament and charm are too far apart, Zhuhua can't win people's trust very much.If it is a father and daughter, the age will not pass.
Zhang Junbao also has old friends here in Wudang. When he was an official, he was always single, and it can't be hidden from others. If it is said that he only had a child after resigning from office, obviously his age can't be wiped out.And if it is a master and apprentice, they really don't have that sense of priority when they get along.
If you're just a friend...
"It will ruin your reputation, Mingjun."
Zhang Junbao said so.
People's words are terrifying, and words can devour people.Where is there no shortage of people with dark thoughts? Zhang Junbao regards Cai Mingjun as an important friend, so how could he have the heart to make her suffer such grievances?
"That's true." Cai Mingjun nodded in agreement, "This is not good for you, Fu Yuan. There are many people who are bright and bright, but there is never a shortage of villains. Fu Yuan, you can finally consider these... ..." Zhang Junbao, who has been messing around all these years and is about to throw all his thoughts when he was an official into the sky, has finally regained his accomplishments in the past. Cai Mingjun has a strange feeling in his heart that the children at home have grown up. satisfaction and pride.
Zhang Junbao sighed helplessly, and called out: "Ming Jun..."
"Hush." Cai Mingjun put two fingers around his mouth, as if silent. "Don't call me that when you're away from home, Fu Yuan. It's fine if it's just you and me, but it's always bad for others to hear you."
Zhang Junbao humbly asked: "Then what should I do?"
"Just call me Yunshui." Cai Mingjun said, too many people know the word Yanji, so of course they can't use it, and only a few people know it. "This is an alias I used myself when I was young. Few people know about it. It doesn't matter if I use it now."
"Yunshui." Zhang Junbao called softly.
Cai Mingjun smiled at him, and said: "Fu Yuan, I thought of what to say." Facing Zhang Junbao's asking gaze, she calmly said: "If someone asks, we will be called husband and wife." After many years The leader of the rebel army, aside from other things for the time being, Cai Mingjun's skin is really thicker, and he doesn't blush when he says such words, but he still has a calm and unhurried momentum.
It was in stark contrast with Zhang Junbao.
The woman who should have been ashamed didn't take it seriously and calmed down, but the man who should have been more calm blushed instantly, and even stuttered when he spoke. "This...how did this happen?" Although Zhang Junbao was already a mature Daoist, Zhang Junbao was still at a loss as he was many years ago at this time, like a fledgling young man. "How can this be!"
He was almost ripe, blushing almost smoking, Cai Mingjun reckoned that his mind should also be a complete mess.But even so, the force with which he flicked his sleeve was gentle, causing the nearby trees to sway, and it would never affect her.Those words that he swallowed were all for her sake.
So she became inexplicably happy in her heart: "Why not? Don't think too much about it, it's just a stopgap measure, huh?" Cai Mingjun was thinking about what to do, thinking that he should probably relax for a while It's time.
Set a small goal first, let's see all the famous scenery on Wudang Mountain!
After Cai Mingjun made his decision, Zhang Junbao naturally wanted to accompany him—after all, Cai Mingjun was very sick and a weak woman, even though he was on Wudang Mountain, he was not at ease to let her act alone.Besides, although there are many wonders on Wudang Mountain, they are not in any flat place. Even Cai Mingjun is out of breath after walking a lot, what will he do if he is not with him!
After convincing himself in this way, Zhang Junbao held several Dao discussion sessions—he is also a well-known Daoist, and now that he is in Wudang Mountain, a group of Taoist priests with high attainments in Taoism gather together to discuss Dao the most. ——Accompanied Cai Mingjun to watch the (Grand Prize) (open) (wind) (eye) scene (world) with Cai Mingjun in his busy schedule.
I didn't realize at all that I had left a deep impression of "husband and wife" in the hearts of those comrades.
Cai Mingjun didn't notice either, but this didn't prevent her from immersing herself in the beauty of this world.
It was when watching the sunrise in Wudang, after the sun rose, I stared at Zhang Junbao for a little longer.
Zhang Junbao looked a little strange, and asked what's wrong with his eyes?
"It's nothing, I just suddenly figured out something." Cai Mingjun said softly.
Although Zhang Junbao didn't know what his friend understood, it didn't prevent him from feeling happy for Cai Mingjun.He showed a blessed smile: "This is a good thing."
He said it with great sincerity.
"Well, that's right—it's a good thing." Cai Mingjun also nodded, her voice was a little low, and the nodding was not so much to go along with her friends, but to be more sure of her own judgment.
At this time, the sun has risen and the temperature has also begun to rise.Zhang Junbao saw that Cai Mingjun's forehead was sweating, so he asked: "Are you going back, Mingjun?"
Cai Mingjun obediently agreed—and then locked himself in the room after returning, and did not leave the room for ten days.The food was brought in and brought out without much movement, the maid in charge of taking care of Cai Mingjun's daily life was almost in tears.
They live in a newly built house by themselves - Cai Ming, who knows that he can't change his sister's decision, also started to prepare early, and the layout is according to the home.There is no Daotong here, but there is a maid brought by Cai Mingjun from home. After all, it is too unreliable to take care of himself, especially Cai Mingjun is a master who has never lacked a maid by his side.
This maid has taken care of Cai Mingjun for many years, Zhang Junbao believes that she can take good care of Cai Mingjun now, so when he sent Cai Mingjun back and received an invitation to discuss the Tao, he went to the appointment without worrying at all.That is to say, he is actually quite curious about these famous fellow disciples who lived on Wudang Mountain, so he might gain a lot from discussing Taoism?
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Junbao went out to attend the appointment, and the maid who was left behind wanted to cry anxiously.She used to be very confident in taking good care of her young lady, after all, she has rich experience, but now...the maid who has no courage to disobey Cai Mingjun just wants to know when Daoist Zhang will come back.
The young lady is not in good health, after these few days...she dare not continue to think about it.
When she finally arrived at Zhang Junbao, she almost burst into tears: "Master Zhang, you are finally back!" She rushed up to greet her, and opened her mouth to beg: "Please go and have a look quickly, miss locked herself in It’s been a few days in the room, and I haven’t even eaten a few mouthfuls of food. If this continues, the lady will not be able to hold on!”
Zhang Junbao, who had just returned from the seminar and was still reminiscing about other people's brilliant talks, suddenly changed color.
There was a fragment in his mind for a while, and he didn't realize what he had done until he opened the door of Cai Mingjun's room.I feel ashamed, and feel that I have offended my friend, but now that I have reached this level... In the end, the worry in my heart has prevailed. The door that was only half opened was completely opened, and the Taoist man hesitated for a moment. Still stepped in.
Zhang Junbao was actually quite familiar with the layout of Cai Mingjun's room. After all, he had entered many times, and at this time he was familiar with the way, so he went in - and found Cai Mingjun very smoothly.
Fortunately, nothing as bad as he imagined happened.
Although he was startled and nervous when he first saw Cai Mingjun lying on the desk, but after he calmed down, he knew that things were not what he thought, and Cai Mingjun had no accident or fainted.
She just fell asleep.
Zhang Junbao thought of what the maid said before, and felt it was reasonable.
These days...he must be very tired.
"Huh? Is that all?" Cai Mingjun was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Junbao's self-statement, and after resting, her energy returned, not to mention being radiant, but she did not look tired either.She raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't you be curious about Fu Yuan, what have I been doing these days?"
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'm curious."
Cai Mingjun asked, "Then why didn't you ask me?"
Zhang Junbao said: "If Mingjun wants to teach me to know, you will naturally tell me. Yes--ask or not, what's the difference?"
"That's true." Cai Mingjun didn't think there was anything wrong with these words, and after a little thought, he quickly skipped this topic.She took out a stack of manuscripts under the inkstone and handed it to Zhang Junbao. "This is something I wrote, please take a look at it."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a faint blush on her snow-white face.
Cai Mingjun was originally a rare beauty, but at this time, Bai Xue was flushed, and her cheeks were full of charm, adding a bit of beauty.It's just that Zhang Junbao was immersed in the article at this time, but no one saw it: "Fu in white clothes—?" The first thing Zhang Junbao saw was the name of the article written at the top, and he subconsciously read it out.
"Exactly!" Cai Mingjun responded very calmly, not at all weak.
What Cai Mingjun handed to Zhang Junbao was a Fu written in the style of Han Fu.
Zhang Junbao looked at it seriously.
——Before he opens his mouth to comment, we should first review Zhang Zhenren's character design.
Appreciating Master Huolong, he has his own unique insights in Taoism, and correcting one is another master of Taoism.This is the current view of Zhang Junbao in the world.
There is nothing wrong with this of course, it's just not very comprehensive.In addition to these, he was also a literati who was admitted as the number one scholar in civil and military affairs at the age of 14, served as the magistrate of Boling County, and met Liu Bingzhong, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and Lian Xixian, a famous minister.Although his knowledge is not as extensive as that of Cai Mingjun, who is well-read, there is no need to question his literary accomplishment.
Therefore, he can fully understand Cai Mingjun's Fu and appreciate the taste.
Having said so much, in fact, it is just to affirm this point.
This Ci Fu written by Cai Mingjun is indeed a rare masterpiece. It is short, concise and elegant.
Zhang Junbao is not stupid, and his literary accomplishment is enough for him to understand the meaning of this Fu - and he naturally knows what Cai Mingjun's move means.
His restrained nature made his face bloodshot, and the thin sheets of paper were hotter than hot coals.However, the literati's yearning and appreciation for masterpieces made him reluctant to let go. After reading it once, he continued to read it a second time, and at the same time he was still reciting silently.
Half are infected, what about the other half?In his heart...does he really not have the same intention?
Two completely opposite moods collided in his heart. The no longer young knight pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Mingjun, this article..." He met Cai Mingjun's gaze, calmly and expectantly. Yes, how many things are hidden in it?No one can guess.But, but—the true feelings that are no different from those expressed in the text are real!
He stopped in the middle of a sentence, as if his heart had been hit hard by something.Zhang Junbao was speechless, he was stunned for a long time before completing the second half of the sentence.
"There is the legacy of Cai Zhonglang."
Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang are the last masters of Fu in the Han Dynasty. His language is fresh, and his works are often straightforward and full of human feelings. The few pieces that have been handed down today are all rare masterpieces, among which "Speaking Fu" is the best.Zhang Junbao's comparison with Cai Yong is already a very high praise - considering that Cai Yong is Cai Mingjun's ancestor, this praise needs to be added a little more.
Cai Mingjun, who was praised, just smiled lightly and said his praise lightly.
——It's light and airy, without any sincerity.
Obviously, he felt that he deserved this kind of praise, and felt that he was not inferior to his ancestors from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of natural pride made Zhang Junbao laugh a little bit, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.Mrs. Cai herself is extremely talented. She was able to write poems that can be passed down for a hundred years when she was a girl. Now that she has gone through years of honing, what she writes has a bit more profound heritage.Cai Zhonglang's writing style is of course very good, but Cai Mingjun's Baiyi Fu, which was inspired by occasional retreat for several days, is not bad.
"It was the Tsing Yi bestowed by my ancestors that inspired me." Cai Mingjun said.
"Tsing Yi Fu?" Zhang Junbao was a little surprised, obviously he hadn't read this touching work with sincere feelings, straightforward style, bold intentions and innovative ideas... Although to put it bluntly, it is almost the same as a confession love letter.
But it's also really touching.
Cai Mingjun was very interested and wanted to recite a few sentences on the spot. Zhang Junbao used to let her go, so naturally he would not allow anything at this time.
"Gold produces sand and gravel, and pearls produce clam mud. Tanzi is slim, born in humbleness....It is not the cow girl, separated from Hewei. Thinking about Er, I am hungry."
The length of Tsing Yi Fu is not long, it was originally a small Fu.Although Cai Mingjun has not read it several times, but she has a good memory, and the benefits of her photographic memory are reflected at this time. Even if she has not reviewed it for many years, she can still recite it fluently - and recite it with rhythm and rhythm. Touching and very emotional.
It's just... Maybe he was too involved. Although he was reading this kind of bold and straightforward article expressing the love between men and women, Cai Mingjun didn't blush at all, and was very calm.
On the contrary, the face of the one listening was even redder.
"How do you feel about Fu Yuan?" Cai Mingjun didn't turn a corner, and asked frankly after he finished reciting it.
It sounds like you are just asking about this "Fu on Tsing Yi", but it has a different meaning.And this deeper meaning, the two are also well aware.
"Tsing Yi Fu" is indeed a very touching work.In this short fu, Cai Yong described in detail a woman in Tsing Yi who was born in a humble family, but has a beautiful and dignified appearance and a noble and pure heart.He also narrates a love affair with sincere and frank words and the tone of his own experience, expressing his admiration and admiration for the humble maidservant in Tsing Yi.The "Fu in White Clothes" just written by Cai Mingjun also continued the style of "Fu in Qing Yi".
Not only did he portray the image of a knight in white with the same heart, but he also boldly and straightforwardly expressed his admiration for the knight in the text.
Zhang Junbao wanted to pretend to be a fool, but he couldn't pass the test in his heart.Cai Mingjun was sincerely expressing his heart to him, how could he be so hasty and vague?This is too disrespectful.
It's just...he smiled wryly in his heart, after all, he was not as straightforward as a woman like Cai Mingjun.
"Naturally, it is a rare and good article." Zhang Junbao said, "Ming Jun, your "Ode on White Clothes" is said to be imitated from this, and the concept is also similar..." He struggled for a while before continuing, "The style is also inherited in the same strain."
Cai Mingjun said: "This new article I wrote, Fu Yuan, do you still like it?"
"Such a masterpiece, I naturally like it."
Cai Mingjun asked, "Then... what about me?"
After a moment of silence, followed by a soft sigh.
Cai Mingjun's fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched a little tighter for this, but his face was calm, as if he was just asking a small question that he didn't care about.
So, it doesn't matter what answer you get.
Because I never cared.
is this real?Of course not, but the vague relief in my heart is not fake.Cai Mingjun drooped his eyes and his eyelashes drooped slightly, so no one could see those waves.
This is also good.
Cai Mingjun said to himself in his heart, your body has already been broken down by yourself, and you don't have a few years to live, but Fu Yuan still has a long time. If this is the case, no response is the best. good result.You only have such a short time, why bother to harm others?
Knowing that it is best to keep it in your heart, so as not to hurt anyone, but you still opened your mouth...
"To have this true love, I am lucky in this life." Zhang Junbao said.
Fortunately it was rejected.
Cai Mingjun thought about this, and then said: "I just want to ask..." After saying a few words, he stopped. The woman's beautiful face showed a rare look of surprise, and even her voice was full of excitement. Full of surprise: "Fu Yuan, what did you just say?"
"I already know Mingjun's mind." The Taoist priest who was asked was calm, "I am also the same."
How could it be ignored?That was the omen that started long ago. At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Cai Mingjun spoke of the throbbing in his heart that he didn't even notice when he was called husband and wife.
When did this friendship begin?It seems that there is no conclusion. He admired her talent when she was just Miss Cai. After she became the leader of the rebel army, he cared about her safety. For such a long period of time, each other was frank and accumulated. Nor is the friendship of this secret love connected.
When did it change?It doesn't seem to matter anymore.He thought that the intention in his heart was not false.
That's enough.
No more, no need.
"In the years to come, I also want to walk with Mingjun and you."
The Taoist, who is used to few clever words, was also clumsy at this time, hesitating and holding back for a long time, and finally he just uttered such a sentence.
But it is the sincerity of offering.
He has stared at this woman for so long, watching her go through these years as a bystander.But after that, he was unwilling to be a bystander anymore.
He wanted to be involved, to spend the rest of her life with her.
"Do you want to leave me alone?" Cai Mingjun smiled, "This is not something a husband should do."
"This... this is out of courtesy!" Zhang Junbao struggled for a long time, and finally said this, although it was still unavoidable.
Cai Mingjun said: "Well - why?"
Zhang Junbao said: "You and I are not married yet, such words..." He got stuck again. "It's really inappropriate."
"It doesn't matter." Cai Mingjun smiled at him, "Left and right, we are now a 'husband and wife'." It's just that it was fake before, but now it's real.
And since it has been declared to the outside world in this way, the step of getting married can be omitted.
The process is not important, the important thing is the result.
Now that he has received a response, then——it is impossible to let go.
"It's just a matter of talking to Yingzi."
In the end Cai Mingjun said that at this moment, she only thought of informing her younger brother——Uncle Shi naturally had a chance to talk about it, and there were other things that were more distant, which were not within the scope of her consideration at all.As for the marriage process that was omitted, Cai Mingjun didn't take it too seriously.
It's too troublesome, it's better to forget about it.
On the contrary, the man was uneasy. After thinking about it, he felt extremely guilty. In the end, Cai Mingjun threw the book in his arms, and he temporarily got rid of that stupid look.
But having said that, probably only Cai Mingjun can see the stupid appearance of Zhang Zhenren, who is famous all over the world, right?
"When I think about it, I'm actually quite happy." Cai Mingjun mentioned this casually when he wrote a family letter to his younger brother Cai Mingye.
Cai Ming, who received the letter from the family, didn't know for a while whether he should be dissatisfied with his sister who casually found someone to marry without a formal ceremony, or whether he should feel dissatisfied with being eaten by his sister. The dead brother Zhang mourned in silence.
After struggling for a long time, Cai Ming finally felt—
Forget it, sister, as long as you are happy.
Left and right big brother Zhang has always been spoiled by his sister, so he must follow his sister at this time.
Might as well be having fun with it.
The young man who had been away from his identity as Young Master Cai for many years still couldn't help but quietly arranged a new brother-in-law.
But this has nothing to do with people far away on Wudang Mountain.
Wudang Mountain is really a good place, the climate is warm in winter and cool in summer, and most of the people living there are moral people, and the atmosphere of Taoism is extremely strong.
It is very suitable for Taoist priests to study or discuss with a group of Taoist masters to further their Taoism, and it is also very suitable for a sick person to come here to recuperate.
At least clean, hard to think about.
Normally, that's true.
But no matter how good the place is, it can't be worth the lack of cooperation of the parties involved. Wudang Mountain is indeed very good, but it can't make Cai Mingjun healthy.
When Cai Mingjun first came here, she really had some unspeakable intentions, but she only persisted for three years.It's not that she gave up, but that her increasingly weakened body can no longer support her to continue.Cai Mingjun is not someone who likes to embarrass himself. After realizing this, he handed over all the things at hand and started a formal retirement life.
Well, before that, it can only be called semi-retirement at most, after all, I am in Wudang and my heart is in the rebel army.If the mind is never relaxed, how can it truly cultivate the body?
Zhang Junbao, who sent his wife's manuscripts to his brother-in-law in batches, didn't feel that his wife was taking care of his body now, even though she always said that there was nothing to do.
Cai Mingjun had this problem a long time ago, and he tried to persuade him.But every time it's the same result, I was very obedient when I answered, but I don't remember it at all afterward-it's even worse in recent times!
Zhang Junbao had known for a long time that his wife had an excellent memory and could never forget, and could memorize a short poem that he had read for many years smoothly.But he didn't expect... It turns out that there really are such people in the world, who can write out the books they read more than ten years ago, even more than 20 years ago, word by word, without any pause in the middle.
When he was a teenager studying, he also read Cai Zhaoji's story.Being able to silently write out one-tenth of the books left by his father without any mistakes or omissions after more than ten years is already a very amazing skill, but what Cai Mingjun is doing now is even more frightening.
How many books had she read and how many had she written down?
This is probably a secret that only Cai Mingjun himself knows.It's as if no one knows how much energy she spent to memorize these books completely, and how she has been able to ensure that her memory has not faded over the years, and she can still remember those manuscripts clearly even today.
All Zhang Junbao can know is the candles that are lit until late at night every day, the huge amount of paper and ink used, and the manuscripts that have been sorted out and bound by him.
With such heavy work, even a healthy person would be very exhausted, let alone Cai Mingjun, a patient who is weak and should take a good rest?There were many times when Zhang Junbao wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words in the end.
useless.
Zhang Junbao is well aware of this, and nothing can stop Cai Mingjun from dedicating herself to her responsibilities and ideals—she has always felt that she has the responsibility to pass on the Cai family's collection of books, which was planted when the family collection was burned. The obsession is also her ideal when she was young.
Back then when she was the leader of the rebel army, she would silently read a few books in her spare time, but now that she has nothing to do, this kind of thinking naturally prevailed.
No one can tell her to give up.
The younger brother can't beg, the husband and wife can't be affectionate, and they can't do anything.And what's even more tragic... Even though he knew his wife was ruining her body like this, he couldn't say anything to stop her.
"This is Ming Jun's wish..."
How can he ignore this and stop his wife?
The only thing he can do is to inject internal energy into his wife every day.
This is a habit that has lasted for many years. At first it was to support his wife so that she could feel better, but now it is to hang her life.
Daomen's inner strength is used to be long and flexible, and it is very good at nourishing the body. People who practice these martial arts generally live a long life, and the effect of warming and nourishing other people's bodies is also quite good.As a beneficiary, Cai Mingjun has lamented the convenience and usefulness of internal force many times, but Zhang Junbao doesn't think so.
If there is such a miracle, why can I only watch you weaken day by day?Why can't I see you getting healthy?Why... can't I save you?
Countless thoughts are piled up layer by layer in my heart, but I can't stop this from staying the same.It's fine if you don't understand Cai Mingjun's thoughts, but Zhang Junbao is able to understand Cai Mingjun's wishes and ideals, as well as the responsibilities she has imposed on herself on her shoulders, so those words that stop her are even more difficult to say.
They were like-minded people, and Cai Mingjun always said that Zhang Junbao was the person who understood her best.It is precisely because of this—since he knows Cai Mingjun so well and understands her thoughts, how can he convince himself to prevent his wife from realizing her wishes and practicing her ambitions and ideals?
"I can't refuse Mingjun..."
This also hit the point, so Cai Ming also sighed. "Sister doesn't listen to persuasion at all..." What can he do as a younger brother, he can't force his sister to rest?
"Mingjun has obsessions." Zhang Junbao said, "She has always felt that she has the responsibility to pass on what she knows, and she has been doing this all these years."
"I know that too." Cai Ming also interjected. He also ran into Cai Mingjun's silent writing many times back then, but Cai Mingjun was still very measured at that time. Why did he suddenly become so anxious now that even his own body was in a hurry? regardless of?
Zhang Junbao couldn't answer Cai Mingye's doubts at all, so what should he say?Cai Mingjun's eagerness is precisely because he has a premonition that his life is not long, and silent writing consumes a lot of her energy, which further drags down her body and destroys her health, making her Getting closer and closer to the expected ending.
This is an unsolvable cycle, unless Cai Mingjun is willing to give up silent writing, but this is impossible--in the face of the urgency brought about by the approaching death, even a reprieve becomes impossible.
This fact is too cruel.
A martial arts master and a leader of the rebel army just looked at each other like this, they were both clearly wise and resourceful, but at this moment they couldn't even think of a solution.
In the end, when Zhang Junbao returned to Wudang Mountain, he only carried a lot of medicine that Cai Ming had also prepared.
The old doctor who provided these medicinal materials and finished products did not show up, and the old man who had been sick for many years for Cai Mingjun refused to deliver these by himself.It was as if his most disobedient patient had healed and no longer needed medicine.
——But in the end, this is just self-deception.
The medicine that should be taken is still taken, and Cai Mingjun never makes unnecessary struggles on this point.She still has a lot of things to do, and she will naturally not refuse this kind of thing that can save her life.
Even if you can live a minute and a second longer, it is good.
"I want to live longer." Cai Mingjun admits that he is a greedy person, and he doesn't feel any shame in having such expectations.It was rare for her to come out to have a shower, and it was also rare for her to pray to God.When she was kneeling in front of the statue of Zhenwu God, no one taught her, she didn't understand anything, she just murmured: "I just ask God to give me some more time..."
It doesn't need much, as long as she can finish those books silently and recite the words of the elders in the family.
