Jin Hyun Chronicle

Jiangchengzi

It was raining and sunny, the water breeze was clear, and the evening glow was bright in Phoenix Mountain.A lotus flower has been opened before Shangyingying.Where did the pair of egrets fly, if you wish, Mu Pingting.

Suddenly, I heard the mourning zheng on the river, with bitter affection, who should be sent to listen to it!The smoke is gathered and the clouds are collected, and it is Xiangling according to the agreement.If you want to wait for the end of the song to ask questions, no one can see, the number of peaks is green.

*********************

The first month of the eighth year of Tianshun, 1464 AD.

The Lantern Festival has just passed, and the meaning of folk celebration is strong.Although the northern country is in the cold winter, an unremarkable town in the south of the Yangtze River has begun to show greenery, reflecting the new Spring Festival couplets of every household, red and green, which makes people's eyes shine.

At noon, an exquisite sedan chair landed beside the stone bridge, and a middle-aged man got out of the sedan chair. He was well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing. He looked back and forth at the surrounding environment, and at the same time asked passers-by about Dr. Tan of the medical hall.

"There it is, over the bridge."

Walking along the direction of pedestrians, crossing a stone bridge, a green flag fluttering high in front of the eyes, the four characters of "female doctor Tan Shi" are obvious.

A courtyard that is not very spacious, the gate is a little old, and the words "spring, color full garden" are pasted on the lintel.Gently pushing open the door, the yard is full of medicinal materials, as well as rows of fires and earthen pots for boiling medicine.The man walked forward slowly, and saw a woman in pale pink clothes squatting by the well, washing her clothes indifferently, just as he was about to say hello, the gold jade bracelet on the woman's wrist suddenly came into view, and he leaned back slightly , as if unbelievable, she has been wearing it for so many years.

Seeing the shadow on the ground, the woman turned her head slowly, thinking it was a patient who came to see her. The moment her eyes met, she stood there in a daze. The sun was shining brightly in front of her, it couldn't be a dream, she subconsciously bit her lip , Hastily wiped off the water stains on his hands, I don't know whether it was surprise or joy.

"Zheng Qi..."

This name has not been called for many years, it seems a little strange, but how many times this face has appeared in dreams, in memory, he has handsome features and a heroic appearance, but now he has added some years of vicissitudes, I don’t know his past in these years Are you doing well?At the beginning, I resolutely left, but today it seems like a lifetime away.

Zheng Qi smiled slightly, seeing her for eight years, she seemed to be well.

"Sit! Go sit in the room..." From the moment he saw him, Yun Xian was at a loss, poured a bowl of tea in a hurry, and brought it over in a panic.

"You don't have to be polite to me." Looking at her flustered look, she was a little cute, and after eight years of separation, she was speechless.

"How are you..."

"How are you..."

Almost in unison, Yun Yin silently lowered his head.

Zheng Qi looked at the place casually, everything was simple and unadorned, "Have you lived here all this time?"

Yun Xian nodded, his eyes never left Zheng Qi for a moment, his tense expression finally relaxed, "Father wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that you are very ill, and he has summoned the crown prince to be regent in Wenhua Palace. I think there is a master in the Tai Hospital, his medical skills are unique in the world, I think there should be no serious problems, seeing you today, you are already fully recovered."

Zheng Qi smiled and sat down to drink tea silently.

"How did you come here? By water? You have been out for so long, won't the crown prince worry?" Just as Yunxian finished speaking, he suddenly heard a lot of movement outside the door. He was afraid that a patient had come, and said to Zheng Qi: "You sit down , I'll go outside and have a look."

Today is the 21st day of the first lunar month, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year has not dissipated. The streets should have been filled with firecrackers and pedestrians visiting relatives and friends, but suddenly they became empty.At the end of the long street, a team of guards came slowly, distributing white silk to each household one by one, and the Spring Festival couplets were also torn off and scattered in the dust.

"Take it." A tolerance handed the white silk to Yunxian in an unfriendly manner, and ordered: "Tear up the Spring Festival couplets, and hang the white cloth on the door."

"Why?" Yun Yin was puzzled.

"Why?" Tolerance shook his head and sighed, "There are so many ignorant fools. Your Majesty passed away on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. The new emperor ascended the throne today. He ordered the whole country to hold a funeral and amnesty the whole world. Next year it will be transformed into a civilized one."

Yun Yin opened his eyes wide, subconsciously looked into the room, isn't he sitting there comfortably?

"Hang on, be careful and punish your crime of disrespect." Tolerance left the white silk and left, leaving Yun Xian with a dull expression there.

Yun Yin returned to the house in a daze, he was drinking tea leisurely, died, what are you kidding?She suddenly understood what!Looking at Zheng Qi in disbelief, "How can you do this? You left Jian Shen and Jiang Shan to find me?"

Zheng Qi didn't seem to hear her, and still used the lid of the tea bowl to skim off the froth in the tea.

"Zheng Qi, I'm asking you?" Yunxian twisted the white silk in his hand, unable to explain what was in his heart, "Why don't you even leave yourself a retreat? How can you make a decision without authorization? Have you ever Have you considered my feelings? Have you ever considered the consequences of doing so?"

Zheng Qi seemed to be angry, he dropped the tea bowl heavily on the table, and stood up, "I know what you want to say! Drive me away with a straight face, right? As you wish."

"Zheng Qi." Yunxian stepped forward and grabbed him, clutching his sleeve tightly, tears streaming down his face, "I don't deserve you! Can't you let go of everything in the past? We've all been together in recent years The good and the bad are not disturbing each other?"

How can a man forget about Jiangshan Sheji for her, how can she repay him?The debt owed to him in the past has not been exhausted, and he owes a large sum again.

Zheng Qi turned her wrist and rolled up her sleeve with one hand. The golden jade bracelet was shining in the sunlight, "Didn't you say you don't love me? What are you doing wearing this all the time? How can you deceive yourself?" when?"

Yun Xian was speechless, he saw through the feelings buried in his heart all the time, and he didn't know when, this bracelet and him were deeply branded in his heart.

"You shouldn't have paid so much for me, you don't even want the world, how can I pay it back?"

"Can't I live for what I want? Without you, what's the fun in sitting on the world?" Zheng Qi held Yunxian tightly in his arms, holding her tightly, "Don't you Come to me, I have no choice but to come to you! As long as you tell me that you have never loved me, and rejected me like you did 15 years ago, I will leave immediately and never pester you again!"

This situation is very similar to Changting on the night of 15 years ago, he said "no, never" against his will, Yunxian kept crying, biting his lower lip, not saying a word.

"Why don't you speak? Is it difficult to say 'no'? Didn't you say 15 years ago that I cried all night in the pavilion."

"Yuan Bao." Yun Xian has been crying for a long time, memories flooding in like a flood, as if he returned to the snowy night 15 years ago, the moment when the fireworks bloomed, "Don't force me, okay? Yes! Since I beat you Give me a gold jade bracelet, I have been wearing it all the time, I don’t know what’s wrong with me? I never thought about taking it off, I just wear it like this! Tuo Buhua said that I don’t even understand my own heart , I may really not understand!"

Only then did Zheng Qi let her go slowly. Before today, he wasn't sure whether Yun Yin loved him or not, and whether he would stay with him, but the moment he saw the gold jade bracelet, he understood. I have always existed in her heart, and it has been 15 years, and she has concealed it for 15 years, so I can't blame her, and I can't blame her, Yunxian is a kind woman who always considers others.

"Call me Yuan Bao again."

After a long time, Yun Xian smiled with tears in his eyes, and called softly: "Yuan Bao."
