Chapter 191 Feng Qiuhuang meets the wind and rides the wind(1/2)
Shisheng has an advantage. He will soon let go of anything he can't figure it out. Perhaps this is related to the guidance of Taoist Master Duck in his early years, so that he learned the saying "let it go" very early.
But only that time, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Fan Xiaoxiao's game made him feel scared. It was this fear that gave birth to the thoughts in his heart.
Thoughts on the choice without an answer.
On the way back, Zhiyuan found his worries, so he asked him: "Silly boy, what's wrong with you? Is your soul lost?"
Xiaobai, who was supporting him, asked softly with great concern: "Is your arm still hurting? It's all our fault..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and Shisheng came back to his senses, looked at the two people beside him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something, but I can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it anymore."
He was not unwilling to think about it anymore, but he didn't want the two of them to worry about him anymore. Now he couldn't guarantee that he could protect the two of them forever, but he dared to promise that he would keep working hard until everything was settled in the end, and he would find a quiet mountain retreat with the two of them.
Compared to his youth, Shisheng is indeed much more calm now. The various separations, joys and sorrows in the world make him extremely clear. Nothing can make people feel more comfortable than the two words "peace and ordinary".
He is willing to be ordinary and yearn for ordinary.
But before that, there are still many things waiting for Shisheng to do, such as how to calm this troubled times and how to fight against the imminent birth of Tai Sui.
To do these two things well, you must rely on the power of magic weapons in troubled times. The person who is related to the last magic weapon clue is still sleeping at this time.
After coming back to his senses, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Let's keep on going."
Today is indeed a sunny day, with neither cold nor hot, with a breeze. The water surface of the Yellow River is so stable for the first time in months. Under such conditions, it is extremely suitable for ferrying.
Speaking of which, the heavy rains over the past few days not only blocked the footsteps of pedestrians here, but also many people were separated there on the other side of the Yellow River.
Isn't that? Just early in the morning, five large ships had arrived since the other shore. Two of the five ships were all ancient musicians wearing red and colorful colors. Among the other three ships, one of them was carrying middle-aged people of age. Judging from the degree of decent clothing of these people, they should be rich local merchants, while the other two ships were mostly women and children. The five ships were obviously in the same group, because their expressions were almost the same at this time, and they were all full of expectations, as if some big figures were coming here on this side of the river.
The wind carried the boat slowly. The ferry of the wind returned to its former prosperity, and the boatmen and sailors were also full of joy. The rain stopped, and for them, normal life was back.
But for others, the day of parting has come.
Mu woke up very early today, or she just woke up less than an hour after she fell asleep. Last night, Awei's farewell caused a big blow to her. All night, she quietly looked at the darkness in front of her, the darkness was boundless, the night wind gently patted the window paper, and the sycamore leaves outside the window rustled.
She is no longer immature, and naturally understands that separation, joy and sorrow are common things in the world, so how can she be overly persistent? But even so, the sorrow in her heart is still like the water of the Yellow River, endless, endless, inch by thread, echoing in her heart.
Once he closed his eyes, the dream was full of Awei's appearance, his ideals and ambitions were so unsuccessful that he could not let go of it. After waking up, Mu did not get up. Some people said that every time a smile appeared on his face before parting, a tear would be left in his heart.
God blessed her, before her years passed, she felt a heart-warming love, but God was cruel, until the end, she still allowed her to leave this love together with her youth on this side of the Yellow River.
Will it be a luxury to even dream of him in the future?
Mu smiled and his temples were wet, and everything was silent.
When the sun was born, the maid knocked on the door softly and informed her that she was about to get up. Mu sighed, weak, but had to get up. When the maid was dressing up for her, she said to her: "Empress, the sisters sent by the 'Xuan Jiao' last night were gone, and the tent had been settled, with a total of three or five taels of gold."
Shisheng and the others actually didn't know that Fan Xiaoxiao was originally a member of the "Xuan Jiao" organization among the four beasts. The whereabouts of Xuan Jiao members were mysterious, and their purpose was just for money and engaged in assassination and other activities. What was Mu's life experience? He could actually invite Xuan Jiao members to escort them all the way? Don't worry, let's talk slowly.
Seeing that Mu's maid frowned slightly after saying something, she sighed softly and said to the maid: "I have told you two that I am not a 'Empress' after leaving the cage. You must not use the temperament of the palace later. From now on, we will be ordinary people, do you understand?"
The little maid obviously understood that she had said the wrong thing, so she nodded quickly and took Mu's face to clean. After dressing neatly, the maid brought in exquisite breakfast again, but at this time, Mu's mood to eat?
Time is such a strange thing. The more you cherish its footsteps, the faster it goes.
Not long after, I heard a group of young people dressed in a wealthy servant walking into the inn. The people came upstairs with excitement. When they arrived at Mu's door, they knelt down in unison, shouted: "Empress, I'm safe!"
The maid opened the door with a smile and said to those people: "You guys are pretty early, why don't you see anyone else?"
"This heavy rain has been too long. The old lady has been missing the Empress for many days. Now God has finally stopped the rain of grace, so the old lady is named, and I will come to the Empress first by the fastboat to congratulate the Empress. I am so happy!" Several people knelt on the ground and bowed to Mu very happily.
Mu shook his head gently and whispered to them: "How can the one who lost his master continue to call him the Empress? Now that I have returned to the Chai family, you should not call me that again in the future, do you know?"
Those servants were clever. After hearing the words of "Mu", they hurriedly changed the style and continued to kowtow: "Yes, big, young lady. Welcome the young lady home."
If we want to talk about what the origin of "Mu" is, why do these people call her "Empress"?
To put it bluntly, because she is really a queen. Her family was a wealthy businessman. In the past, due to family operations, she was selected into the palace to become the concubine of the emperor of the previous dynasty. Later, because the emperor passed away, she had never even seen the emperor several times before leaving the palace and returning home. So those who knew her respectfully called her "Empress", and it is precisely because of this that she had a way to hire people from "Xuan Jiao" to escort them on the way.
Moreover, her surname is not Mu, but her surname is ‘Chai’.
Although she does not understand the rules of the world, she is smart. In addition, Fan Xiaoxiao sent by Xuan Jiao told her that she is now in the world, so she must not show off her dew. She must know that she is always guarding against others. When she returned home, she brought a large number of gold, silver and fine materials. If the thief discovered her identity, it would inevitably cause trouble.
Chai was low-key by nature and didn't care about her identity halo, so when she first met Shisheng and others, she made up a surname out of politeness and basic precautions. At this time, she was separated by the Yellow River water. When she met Shisheng and several others, she was very close to each other, so she casually removed the word "this" on her surname and added water, so she became "Mu".
It is said that Chai originally planned to return to her hometown during this trip, but in the past few days when she was separated by Ruxin Inn by a river, she experienced the happiest days in her life.
She used to be the queen, with a wealthy family, and she could have whatever she wanted, but even so, she was not happy because she understood that such a life could not give her two most basic things, one kind of friends, and the other was love.
From childhood to adulthood, her family helped her arrange everything, and she naturally grew up and entered the palace. However, the emperor's harem was huge. For the sake of profit, those people were intrigues like market-oriented people, and Chai disdained to fight with them, so she remained virgin until the emperor died.
No one knows when he is in the deep palace. How much sorrow and loneliness are brought about by the change of the sun and moon in the imperial city?
In the end, the emperor died. The concubines of the previous dynasty were buried with them and some women like her were sent out of the palace. Before leaving, they only took away a lot of money.
Could it be that I entered the palace for this? Could it be that this is just a business?
Chai couldn't figure it out, but he had to accept it. To be honest, her heart was already cold before she left the palace. She felt that she was really like this in her life. Although she was looking forward to a passionate love like an ordinary woman, the facts did not allow her to have this luxury.
But fate is sometimes so unpredictable. Just when Chai had given up, it rained heavily in the world, and the heavy rain brought Awei.
She was happy with Awei. It was the first time she fell in love with someone deeply and uncontrollably. The more she got along with Awei, the more she felt that this was a man that could entrust her life to life. Although he had nothing and was poor now, his eyes were bright, as well as his kind character and passionate ambitions.
After getting along these days, they have secretly developed feelings for each other, but the deeper the root of love, the more painful it hurts in the end. We have said before that their love is like a seed, which can only grow under the nourishment of rain. Now that the rain has stopped, this nourishment has ended. What remains are probably the young buds exposed to the scorching sun, slowly withering and turning into lovesickness.
Alas, this person, why did you think he would leave secretly? How great would it be if he could meet him again?
Chai asked the maid to give some money to the servant who came to report the news first, and told them not to make loud noises again, which disturbed other people who stayed in the house. Seeing that the heroine who came back from the palace was so kind, she actually gave so much money, they all smiled happily for a moment, and hurriedly thanked her, and then withdrew her after giving her reward.
There was only Chai in the room. She sat by the bed and gently supported her cheeks. She thought helplessly: What if she saw him again? But why can't I stop this longing? Even the joy of going home disappeared.
In this way, after nearly an hour, finally, five large ships sailed into the Fengfeng Ferry. After the trainer pulled them to the shore, the drummers of the two ships jumped off the boat first, led by a person who distributed the rewards. They played and played all the way without any fun. Their work was very big, and everyone had a share in the rewards. Even Cheng Kegui, who heard the sound, asked for a red envelope. Cheng Kegui was very happy at the time and thought to himself: Should I wake up Awei and let him receive some money? Forget it, don't call him. After all, he is a person who does big things.
The person who welcomed her home arrived, and the two little maids hurriedly returned to the room to report. After hearing the news, Chai smiled bitterly. The time for parting was coming.
She still had no way to change all this, so she could only go with the flow.
So, she walked downstairs with the help of two maids. She met her parents with tears in her eyes. Then, the family walked out of the inn with drums and music. Li Hanshan was sitting under the paulownia tree at that time. Although he had seen the Chai family yesterday, Chai family left the seat very early, so he didn't know the relationship between Chai family and Awei. Regarding her, Li Hanshan just heard Shisheng say something, saying that she was a very good-hearted person.
With a heart-warming look, Li Hanshan stood outside the crowd and looked inside. He felt that the woman's face was a blessing. It was obvious that Chai seemed to be worried. He didn't think much about it at that time, after all, he was full of Shisheng and the others at that time.
The reason why Li Hanshan did not tell Shisheng about Fan Xiaoxiao was that he understood that Xiaobai and Zhiyuan would not have any trouble. Moreover, he understood Shisheng and understood that he would eventually pass the test. If he could express his feelings to Xiaobai and Zhiyuan as soon as possible, he would have fulfilled the wishes of the old and young men in Peacock Village.
After all, they asked Zhiyuan and Xiaobai to follow him down the mountain this time to create opportunities for them. You must know that when they went down the mountain, the bastards in Peacock Village had already opened the market and bet on whether Shisheng would deal with these two girls this time. Li Hanshan did not gamble, but the second head bet that the second head who was not in tune had put down his harsh words before they left: If the three of them came back like playing house this time, then let them look good.
Thinking of this, Li Hanshan smiled bitterly: When he met such a leader, he didn’t know whether it was a good or a bad thing.
No matter what, he and Liu Bolun also hoped that Shisheng would have a home soon, because they could see that Shisheng had changed a lot in recent years, but his heart seemed to be getting more and more lonely.
Because he cried more and more in dreams at night.
As brothers, they can't help Shisheng, so they can only hope that these two girls can help the kid untied his knot as soon as possible and return to normal.
Just as I thought of this, I saw Xiaobai Diao flying on the sycamore tree. But seeing that the three of them had already returned, Li Hanshan went up to meet him, and then spoke to Shisheng, "What did you do? This is your hand..."
As soon as he said this, Li Hanshan suddenly saw that the three of them looked a little wrong, especially Zhiyuan and Xiaobai. The two girls' faces were flushed and they looked at Shisheng's indescribable love.
Although Li Hanshan didn't understand this, he also understood that what happened between them seemed to be true. He was sincerely happy for Shisheng. You must know that letting Shisheng, the wood, speak actively, would be more difficult than breaking his arm. So he changed his tone at that time, and then patted Shisheng with a smile: "Look, I guess right. If the drunkard knew that you finally settled down, you would be happier than anyone else. Well, it's worth breaking your arm, does it hurt?"
What does it mean to have broken arm mean? Shisheng smiled bitterly, and the two girls were already blushing. This is the case with brothers. They don’t care about their health, but the tone that sounded like a slutty voice was full of affection. Shisheng grinned at that time, "Don’t touch it, I just met, do you think it hurts?.........Who are those people?"
Shisheng asked at the Chai family brigade who had already walked away, while Li Hanshan replied to him: "It's the sister you said she was very nice to you. Her family just came to pick her up."
"You said Sister Mu?" Shisheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and shouted: "It's broken!!"
That's right, Awei has not woken up yet, but Chai has left. How uncomfortable would he feel if Awei woke up?
Thinking of this, Shisheng hurried into the room. As soon as he stepped into the door, he almost collided with Cheng Kegui. Seeing that it was Shisheng, Cheng Kegui hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a hurry? I really didn't steal you this time!"
"Steal a lot!" Shisheng said helplessly while running: "Hurry up, prepare to leave!"
Go? Where to go? Cheng Kegui and others were confused with noodles in their hands.
At the same time, the Ferry Crossing.
"Daughter, you have suffered so much over the years. Let's go home." Chai's mother held Chai's hand in tears and said to her: "Don't worry, my parents have now looked for some big shots for you, and with your status and reputation, they will still live a better life."
Accompanied by his parents, Chai forced a smile. At this moment, the lively and festive drum music seemed extremely harsh.
Chai understood the truth and knew that as the princess of the previous dynasty, she was now dismissed and naturally could not sit in vain. Next, she had to obey the arrangements of her family and marry someone she had never met before, and live the boring and boring second half of her life.
This is my life. I have no reason not to accept it, but why are you still so sad?
Following the red cloth partition, Chai stepped onto the boat, but the pain in her heart became stronger and stronger. She endured it desperately, but tears were rolling in her eyes.
The boatmen untied the ropes and the boat was about to go.
My mother was still talking to him the names of the nobles. They were either royal families of a certain country or the governors guarding the border, but Chai was unwilling to listen, because at that time, there was no other place in her heart except one person.
The boat began to move slowly, so the musicians played desperately, and the people watching the fun on the shore formed a circle. Chai did not dare to look back because she knew that even if she turned around, she could not see the person she wanted to see.
After all, that person had left long ago and could never come back.
She still has a lot to say to him, but now these words can only be hidden in her stomach until she is old and dies, and may not be able to say them.
Why is life so impermanent?
Why, even if you understand these principles, you still have to suffer?
If, if............... he is still there, how good would it be, then, I, me.
Chai lowered her head and let her heart slowly break. That was her last love, which was about to be buried in the Yellow River.
However, the joke of fate did not end.
To be continued...
