How many buildings are in the mist

In September, the weather in Nankang is no longer hot, the leaves are falling, and thick clothes are put on one by one.Feng Zizhang ordered the chrysanthemums planted in the palace to bloom, and Xie Yan's injury was basically healed, but Feng Zizhang asked the doctor in the mansion to prescribe more medicine to promote wound healing, and the cook also had to cooperate.Xie Yan laughed at her worrying, "Didn't it just rot for a while? Look at you!" Feng Zizhang rolled his eyes inwardly, and replied, "You hurt your back, have you seen how rotten it is? "The implication is that I was the one who frightened you.

Xie Yan wanted to be active, but was immediately stopped by the doctor. Seeing this, the cook also took the opportunity to say that I would give you the perch that has been stewed for so long, so don't make me waste all my previous efforts.Then everyone came to Feng Zizhang, Feng Zizhang was expressionless, and Xie Yan knew that she was angry.

How can you make her angry?Xie Yan then behaved.

The two of them were sitting in front of the courtyard looking at the flowers and basking in the autumn sun.Xie Yan just praised Fengzizhang for its good courtyard design. Not only can you see the flowers blooming in all seasons, but also made slight adjustments according to the time and angle of sunshine. After design, it is extremely elegant, and it is better than a group of corrupt scholars in Jiankang.Unexpectedly, Feng Zizhang asked her instead: "Autumn harvest, don't you need to go back?"

Xie Yan was taken aback for a moment, surprised and didn't have time to think about why she asked this, and replied: "No need. With Yan Bing around, there is basically nothing wrong. Besides, they also know that I am here. If there is something to do, they have already told me." Feng Zizhang didn't look directly at Xie Yan from the time he asked the question to when he heard the answer, and now he just said calmly: "Oh, that's good. You can wait until the injury is healed before leaving."

Xie Yan understood at this moment, and immediately put on a distressed posture, "Oh, the doctor said that I still need to take medicine, and the cook has been feeding me like a pig all day long, and the wound is still slightly itchy, hateful!" Trying to scratch the wound, pretend Feng Zizhang couldn't hold back his smile as he couldn't reach his hands.

"By the way, let me tell you, do you want to write a letter back and ask them to send you some winter clothes. You are still injured," Feng Zizhang paused as he said this, as if what he said would really affect She looked like a wound, "No matter how warm Nankang is, you should wear more clothes."

Xie Yan immediately agreed, and ran quickly to get a pen and paper.Just write it in a swish, and then order someone to send it out immediately.After all this was done, Feng Zizhang asked curiously, "What did you write?"

"Send clothes, which one to send, which one not to send, which one to send together with which one."

"Do you know your clothes that well?"

"Understood, I know which one is very clear! No one can fool me!"

Feng Zizhang laughed, "It can be seen that you don't have enough clothes."

"Hey! Of course there are not as many as you! I don't even have a veil."

Feng Zizhang pretended to hit her with the chestnuts on the table, but Xie Yan immediately pretended to dodge.After the two laughed, they talked about the origin of the veil.

"Your veil is in the style of the Western Regions, and Concubine Duan also has it? Didn't all their veils originate in the land of Youyan?"

"Concubine Duan is the best at makeup. She likes to collect these things. She doesn't care if they are from Xianbei, Western Regions, the South, or Tuguhun. She wants them to look good. That's why I asked her to borrow them. I think she likes them very much. Things from the Western Regions, for example, she likes to play the pipa, and she plays it very well. She is very curious, and living in the deep palace for a long time is a waste."

"That's His Majesty's concubine, you say that, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? I said the same in front of my sister. Do you think my sister wants to marry Xianbei concubine?"

Xie Yan shook his head, "Forget it, these things that I have to do reluctantly, I don't want to talk about them."

"It's most useless to talk about people and concubines who have no place to show their talents. It's like a female official who talks too much. Seriously, Cui Xuanji won the civil and martial arts competition. I'm curious..."

"Curious what?"

"I'm curious, if you go too, which one of you will win?"

Xie Yan thought about it for a while before saying: "We have tried many times since we were young, and we each have our own outcome. Later, most of the time we just click to the end, and we never insist on a match. When you first ask, I don't know. I really don’t know. If she beat Chu Jin this time, she should be above me. But it’s hard to tell just because of the momentary competition.”

"Oh? So, you can't beat Chu Jin?"

"No, the comparison between me and Chu Jin is about a tie. Chu Jin is a hero among heroes. He claims that there is no weapon he can't know. He has his own unique skills for every weapon."

"It's too big a boast."

"That's what I said. I only fought him once. It was purely accidental that Gongsun Man and I ran into him at that time, and we also drew our swords to help and rescued others. My feeling is that this person is not only powerful in force, but also very resourceful. Well, even if he walks into a small thatched shop, he can find seven or eight deadly weapons to use from that shop."

"Then how did you beat him back?"

"It's not about retiring, it's just that he feels that we are similar, and he doesn't want to waste time. If I fight again, I will fight hard and kill [-] enemies and lose [-]. I can beat him, but I will definitely feel better." No. I guess it’s the same for Cui Xuanji winning the championship this time. Chu Jin didn’t want to fight anymore. Didn’t it mean that Cui Xuanji just scratched Chu Jin’s shirt? It’s really running to the death, how can I just give up at once What? Chu Jin just doesn’t want to fight anymore.”

Feng Zizhang sighed: "That's why I never liked fighting."

"That being said, you're pretty good."

"I don't even like to practice martial arts handed down from my family. I think it affects my quietness and spoils my temper. In the end, it's nothing more than that. Martial arts can hurt people, but wouldn't it be better not to hurt people?"

"Your temperament is just like that guy Cui Xuanji."

As soon as he said this, Feng Zizhang became interested: "By the way, I have been telling you about the secrets of the royal family for so long. You are telling me about Lu Gu Chen Han, but you didn't say anything. Your own family and the Cui family, quickly, let’s start with Cui Xuanji. Why do I have a temper like hers?”

Xie Yan called someone to change the tea, poured Fengzizhang again, and then slowly said: "Cui Xuanji is honest, calm, and kind. The Cui family is not a master of Confucianism from generation to generation, and both Confucianism and Law are emphasized in family studies. I also read "Lao Tzu"; what I can feel, and reflected from my mother, is that their family's emphasis is on serving the country, the so-called "no country, no family". Cui Yi, you know? Cui Xuanji's aunt, My aunt, when I was young, often told both of us that other small families, even in the years of war, if you protect yourself properly, no matter who the emperor is, you will live the same way. For others, a home is a home, and the country is broken. There is no necessary connection with death.

"But for the aristocratic family, especially the Cui Xie family, they have a very close relationship with your Feng family's royal family, and they are not bastards who want to collude with the enemy and treason the country. Cui Xie was the one who killed. So no matter what you do, you want to serve the country. So you see, Cui Yi of the previous generation and Cui Xuanji of the next generation are like this: Cui Xuance will succeed Yuzhang after staying at home , Why go to the border? Why go to Jiangxia to bear so much pressure? Cui Xuanji stays in Yuzhang, why is she also a daughter of a thousand gold, if her aunt told her to go to Jiankang, she would not go.

"Don't look at her as a taciturn person. In fact, she may be able to say it. She has not participated in many talks, so she has never failed. There was another time when she pissed off her opponent. Let alone a martial arts competition. But she doesn't like it. Fighting with people, I am very disgusted with false names, and just want to do something practical. But Jiankang's atmosphere is like this, and she must also dislike those children of the aristocratic family, even though she herself is also from the aristocratic family, and her family status is still so high. But it is because of the high family status She looks at these things differently. I guess Cui Xuanji came up with the idea of ​​the Civil and Military Competition. If it can be done, it proves that His Majesty also approves of these ideas. Then this guy has found a place to use his skills. If she wants to do She can do what she wants to do, she can't do it by sacrificing others, but she can certainly do it by sacrificing herself.

"Do you know? When we were young in Jiankang, we spent a period of time with Jiang Yuan Cui Yi every day. Part of our martial arts was taught by Jiang Yuan, and so was the archery. Jiang Yuan took the two of us to hunt. When Cui Xuanji saw a deer, he was about to draw his bow but stopped. Jiang Yuan asked her what happened. She said that the deer was the only one here just now, and its mother must have died. }. Then the fawn was captured and raised.

"If you want to talk about her shortcomings, one of the shortcomings is that she is too persistent and upright. Both her brother and sister are like this. , well, don’t back down even a single step, it’s useless for uncles and aunts to persuade, aunt and Jiang Yuan’s persuasion is also useless. If you don’t give up, it’s like soldiers guarding the frontier, and those who talk about it and engrave it on their foreheads are four A large character, 'no inch of land'. I remember one time, it was Jiang Yuan who said something to her, telling her to give in if necessary, but she refused, saying that if the world is so dirty, innocence will be lost. , she wants to be the innocent one, let the others be dirty. Hey!"

After talking so much, he was thirsty, so Xie Yan quickly grabbed his teacup and took a big sip.Feng Zizhang savored Xie Yan's words for a while, and said, "This is also very valuable. You shouldn't criticize her."

"I'm not harsh. I just feel that as a relative or friend, she is so upright. In this world, she must be hurt because of it. I don't want her to be hurt."

"When you two were young, were you so close to Jiang Yuan?"

"Yes. Sigh, Jiang Yuan has too much influence on Cui Xuanji."

"how do I say this?"

"She was very close to her aunt since she was a child, so she naturally regarded Jiang Yuan as a relative. Jiang Yuan also liked her very much. After Jiang Yuan left, she was also by her aunt's side. I guess, it was probably at that time, because Jiang Yuan's sacrifice, she began to think that if the aristocratic family holds the power in her own hands, sooner or later everyone will die. My aunt may also think so, so my aunt asked her to go to Jiankang to prepare for an official career, and she went."

After hearing this, Feng Zizhang could only remain silent.Xie Yan didn't speak, as if he remembered something from the past.

Suddenly a bird flew by, its wings cut through the emptiness. "What about you? What do you think?" Feng Zizhang asked suddenly.

"What do you think? Home country world?"

"No, I just want to ask, what do you think?" In fact, she had many questions, some of which seemed meaningless even if she asked them, and she already knew the answers; A question that is probably the best to ask: "Jiang Yuan and Cui Yi? If Jiang Yuan hadn't gone to Guangling at that time, would he still be here now? Would he—"

"No. There was no assumption in the past. What's more, aunt, let me see, it's not what we thought." Feng Zizhang added: "If you were Jiang Yuan, would you go to Guangling?"

"Of course I'm going." Xie Yan said, and immediately realized the meaning behind the words, "But maybe I won't go alone. Maybe, I will make all the plans, get more support, and think of ways to see if I can stay on the sidelines." Fight while negotiating peace to reduce losses; the most important thing is, I can't go alone, I want to go with my beloved. In this way, even if we have to die in battle, we can die together. No one needs to be left alone here world."

Feng Zizhang smiled when he heard the words, and said, "But what if you have to?"

"Hey! There are so many things that have to be done. In such a matter, I have to learn from that guy Cui Xuanji, 'Don't give up an inch of land'! It's okay to die for the country, but don't let me be cool with my sweetheart for a while, then No. This 'price' can't be negotiated, so I won't do it."

The topic became heavy from here, Feng Zizhang said: "If you talk about your cousin like this, you took everything out, I'm afraid it's not good, if people find out, they will scold you."

Xie Yan really wanted to reply, "Are you an outsider?", but Bao Buqi Feng Zizhang really thought so, so he could only say: "Don't be afraid, I said a lot, and there is not one sentence that is not a compliment to her! Besides, I am half older than me." Years old, what are you afraid of her!"

The two gossiped for a while, and the servants came to report that the letter had been sent.Feng Zizhang nodded, and carefully asked: "Are you going back in the twelfth lunar month?" Xie Yan said: "It depends on the situation, let me ask. Zizhang," she called softly, "Why don't you go back with me ? Or do you have to go back to Jiankang?" It's October and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time.

Except for Feng Zihuan, and a few other cousins ​​who never saw each other a few times throughout the year, no one called Feng Zizhang that.They called her His Highness and King Nankang, but no one called her by her name so kindly and softly, just like no one wanted to get close to her except for her sister, so close to her like this.

She originally planned to stay in Fengguo to celebrate the New Year, thinking that if she stayed abroad for a year occasionally, her ancestors and sister would not blame her.And she still wanted to keep Xie Yan.Stay with me, I don't want to be alone again.I'm used to having you around me, you're the only one I don't get bored with talking so much, I even like you talking too much.

but i...

If it is so fast, it may bring you unexpected trouble.I don't want you in trouble, especially one that I don't know how to get out of.

"I still have to go back to Jiankang, lest the late emperor and queen mother call me unfilial in a dream."

Xie Yan laughed loudly, "Okay, then, as soon as the clothes come, we will set off and hurry on our way. You can rest in Shuangluo for a few days, and then go back to Jiankang, how about it?" Feng Zizhang is still thinking, thank you Yan took the opportunity to add: "That guy Xie Ying said that she really wanted to see you again, and asked you to learn the piano. Go and have a look."

Xie Yan didn't force it at all, Feng Zizhang immediately agreed, after all, although King Nankang didn't like hard and soft, he just ate this kind of food.

In the end, Yan Bing, who was afraid that his master would freeze to death, arranged for a flying horse to deliver the clothes. He ran [-] miles at an expedited speed, and the clothes arrived seven days later.Xie Yan put on her navy blue cloak, and the two got on their horses and left.At first he walked slowly, but the weather was so good that Xie Yan wanted to gallop for a while, so Feng Zizhang had no choice but to go together.Flying like a horseshoe, she was behind Xie Yan, seeing Xie Yan's clothes and hair on the sideburns, her heart was attracted by the indescribable charm revealed by these small details, she chased after Xie Yan and stood side by side, Xie Yan turned his head and smiled at her.

And now she wished irrationally that they would ride like this forever.

After Cao Pi shot a doe to death, he asked Cao Rui to shoot a fawn.Cao Rui wept and said to Cao Pi, "Your Majesty has killed his mother, and I can't bear to kill his son again." Cao Pi then let the deer go.In fact, Cao Rui may also take the opportunity to intercede for himself here.See "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Ming Emperor Benji".
