Between the vast sea of clouds
Chapter 49
Qingping paused for a while, and said seriously: "I like this person, like the dark sun shining on everything, no need for everyone to know. My love for him is the same, like the sun pouring down, but it is not necessary for him to know. He It is all I have, and I must give everything to love him."
After saying this, Qingping felt numb to herself, she looked at Shao Ming's face turning white and turning red, and she was a little uncertain, thinking over what she wanted to say.
Shao Ming's heart tossed countless chapters and sentences, and he couldn't utter the last sentence, so he heard Qingping say: "But Young Master Shao, I am just a momentary impulse to you, you will like Li Qingping today, and you will like Zhang Qingping tomorrow, Change your name and surname, it's all the same to you."
Shao Ming wanted to say something, but Qingping took advantage of the victory to chase after him, pretending to be sad and melancholy and said: "Naturally, as the young master said, if I pay so much and the person doesn't respond, even if I have a passion for it, I still want it." condensed into ice."
Shao Ming pursed his lips and said, "Then why do you still do this?"
Qing Ping smiled and said: "I want to be happy with each other. I want to take him to see the peach blossoms in Hezhou, to watch the sea-watching banquet in Chenzhou, and to Lancheng in Minzhou to watch the sea and enjoy the moon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a damp sea breeze blew in, and the jingling copper bells swayed in the wind, from near to far, sweeping the entire city like an invisible wave.The clouds broke and the moon rose, and the clear light was long, falling on them gently and lightly.
As if to add to the fun of this speech, both the lighting and the atmosphere were rendered very appropriately. Qingping stood up and looked at the distant sea.She said: "We have the same mind, go together, visit mountains and rivers, and we will do this all our lives. We will accompany each other in life, old age, sickness and death. If I can't find such a person in my life, then let me be alone until I grow old, it's okay OK."
She stared at Shao Ming with clear eyes, a gleam of water flashed across Shao Ming's eyes, he nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "...that's all."
When he raised his head again, he had already recovered his demeanor, no embarrassment or resentment, only the corners of his eyes were a little red, he bowed his body and saluted, and said gracefully: "Then I wish you, find the love in your heart as soon as possible."
Qingping nodded with a smile, and replied: "Young master will find such a person, when you first see her, you will know that this is the person who will accompany you in this life."
Shao Ming just shook his head, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he didn't want to say anything more.
Chen Jun, who was hiding in the dark, touched the sword in his arms, and looked at the distant sea thoughtfully.
She was talking with Tianxuan in the inn just now, when she heard a strange movement, she followed out with a sword, and chased all the way here, but she never expected to meet someone else.
It's just that the two people in this tryst seem to be in harmony, she originally thought that under Shao Ming's lure, Qingping would be shaken.
But no, the young son Yuexia revealed his heart, and nine out of ten people are moved. Not everyone can refuse the glory and wealth of the Shao family. When Qingping said no, she was naturally relieved.
Chen Jun has never raised such a big child, and I am afraid that her own sisters have never taken it so seriously. She often feels that she can't handle it well, and she can't let go of being close or distant.
She doesn't want Qingping to be afraid of her, but at the same time, she wants to master everything about this person, eager to dig out the unknown side of her heart, but she also hopes that she can grow up as she wants.
Chen Jun couldn't tell what kind of emotion she had invested in Qingping, until tonight, she seemed to have seen a completely different Li Qingping.
Her childishness from time to time does not affect her stability and calmness, on the contrary, she is very lovable.Anyone can hear her polite refusal to Shao Ming in her words, Shao Ming failed to seduce her and wanted to use affection to impress her, she also simply used affection to decipher his words.
Chen Jun patted the dust off her body, Qingping had already left, leaving her standing alone in the evening wind, listening to the light ringtone.
She stood in the night and thought, it turned out that there are people in this world who are born to fly in the sky, rest in the wind, travel north and south, spend their entire lives, and fly across the sky the moment they raise their heads, never to be found again.
Not long after staying in Lancheng, the convoy set off for the north.This time I walked directly from the official road, just passing through Yunzhou.Yunzhou has a large land area and few people. You can only see the vast Gobi desert and low bushes on the boundary line. There is a section of the official road at the junction of Yunmin and Minzhou. The scenery along the way changes suddenly, from green forests to desolate rocky beaches.
From a distance, Yunzhou seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist. This state and county is the gateway to the country. It is facing the Xirong tribes. The former kingdom gave up the Irish grassland, and the two countries maintained a short-term peace. Now Xirong seems to be ready to move again, often looting and intruding on the border.
It's just that the nobles of Xirong are so powerful that no one will obey anyone, and they often annex and internal friction.The elite soldiers and generals of the Dai Kingdom are all stationed on the border of Yunzhou. Although there are constant small battles, it is impossible for major conflicts to occur in a short period of time.
Chen Jun lowered the curtain and said, "I don't know how long this situation can last."
Qingping asked: "Miss, did you say there will be a fight?"
Chen Jun couldn't deny it: "You can't tell. Xirong is ruled by the combination of the gods and the government. If you want to come to power, you must get the approval of Bi Shu and the Golden Tent Royal Court. Since the Golden Tent was destroyed 300 years ago, there has never been another Bi Shu." stated."
Liu Zhen asked curiously: "Miss, what is Bi Shu?"
Chen Jun closed the book and said: "Bi Shu is a goddess in the legend of the grassland. She has the power to move clouds and rain. In the legend, Bi Shu walks with fish schools along the river, attaching the souls of the dead to the fish and guiding them to the place of reincarnation. Therefore, people on the grassland regard the river as a sacred place, and they must not touch the water with their feet unless it is absolutely necessary. When fetching water, they must bow to the river bank and take it out respectfully. The fish is the servant of Bishu, with the soul of reincarnation, if you eat the fish, you have committed a crime worse than killing, and you will be disgusted by the gods."
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Miss, what does Bi Shu have to do with the nobles of Xirong?"
Chen Jun said: "It is said that Bi Shu will cast his shadow body into the human world in 100 years, and his god body will continue to perform his duties. The Golden Tent Royal Court took out the jade bottle of spirit lotus and looked for Bi Shu's reincarnation among school-age children. This is the most mysterious ceremony in Xirong , the ones who dealt with them are all elderly witch mausoleum masters, and I don't know the specifics, but I just know a general idea."
Qingping was very puzzled and said, "Is it too hasty to draw lots to find Bi Shu? If someone secretly manipulates it, it is easy to decide the candidate."
Chen Jun patted her head. She often did this recently, and she didn't know what the meaning was.She said: "You can think of it, can't Xi Rong think of it? The selected children are said to be born with spiritual wisdom, and can use the secret treasure of the Golden Tent to spy on the cycle of cause and effect...but this is just a legend, the grassland People like to pretend to be gods and play ghosts, so it is unimaginable for a small tent of gods to dare to be called the royal court, surpass the nobles, and rule the grassland."
She suddenly thought of her biological mother, isn't she a good example of chasing the theory of longevity and gradually being controlled by others.Chen Jun's heart suddenly cooled down. Thinking carefully, Chenmin and Minzhou were also affected by the seminary. Although it seems insignificant, it is hard to say what will happen to this seemingly inconspicuous seminary when it is crucial. Upend the situation.
Everything that seems to be peaceful, but there are undercurrents surging in the hinterland, and crises are everywhere.
Walk along the official road, pass Yunzhou, and go north to Qiongzhou.Qingping's hometown is Wanqing County in Qiongzhou, but she only has a vague idea of where it is, which seems to be a village near Baishui Town.
As if by coincidence, when the motorcade passed by Wanqing County, Chen Jun suddenly said, "Qingping, aren't you from Qiongzhou? If you have relatives here, you might as well go back and have a look."
Wanqing County is a small county, but if you search carefully, you can naturally find your home.Qingping was hesitant, unable to guess what Chen Jun meant by this, was it a test?She was silent for a while, she really missed her biological parents and wanted to go back and have a look.
She nodded and got out of the car to lead the horse. Chen Jun said: "There is an inn nearby, so we will stay there. I happen to have something to do, so you can go back to the inn after you finish watching."
Although Qingping didn't know Chen Jun's purpose, she was still very grateful to her for thinking of herself. Liu Zhen took a small purse and stuffed it into her arms quietly. Qingping quickly refused, but Liu Zhen smiled and turned back to the car. inside.
An indescribable feeling surged in Qingping's heart, she held down the purse, looked back, Tianquan waved to her gently from the carriage, signaling her to leave quickly.So she rode on, running faster and faster down the street.
She ordered a pot of tea for two copper coins in a simple teahouse, and asked the boss how to get to Baishui Town. The boss has opened a shop in Wanqing County for many years. Seeing her eagerness, she knew that she was a visitor looking for someone back home. He said: "The guest went east, and saw a big tree, then turned west, and after leaving the city, there is Baishui Town."
Qing Ping finished drinking the water, said thank you, wiped his mouth and got on the horse.According to what the boss said, she saw a huge camphor tree, about the size of five people hugging each other. She turned west and walked out of the city gate. The horseshoes stepped on the yellow sand road and splashed dust.
Qing Ping never knew that she could ride so fast on a horse. She galloped all the way, her clothes fluttered, the wind blew violently by her ears, and she squinted her eyes to watch the road.Perhaps it is the eagerness to go home that temporarily puts all fear and panic aside.
She no longer thinks about Chen Jun's intentions, and whether she can get her own contract when she returns to Chang'an. The ancient way is barbaric, but it is so cute.She has been a human being for two lifetimes, and finally has a family, parents, siblings.She used to think that she was a wandering person, but she didn't expect that God was so kind and left her with expectations in this world.
Qingping saw a place where houses gathered, and knew it must be Baishui Town.She led the horse into the town, and her heart beat faster than ever.At one moment she was worried about whether her parents would deny her, and at another moment she found that her hands were empty, but luckily she still had some silver taels and a piece of topaz in her arms. Like all the timid wanderers who are close to the hometown, she slowed down on the familiar land, hesitating and full of hope. eager.
People passing by looked at her curiously, and she spoke in a low voice with her familiar accent. She said to a passer-by, "Excuse me, there is a village near Baishui Town called Qufang, do you know how to get there?"
The man looked at her attire, and said hesitantly, "Just leave Baishui Town and go west...but where are the guests going to do?"
Qing Ping said: "Go look for someone." She got on the horse, and without any hesitation, she went straight to the west.
"Hey! Guest, guest!" the man called, but Qingping couldn't hear anything. The desire for home in her heart broke through all obstacles. She walked all the way west, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the familiar village.
Whoever pities a shadow will be lost by thousands of clouds.Returning home to the dream of thousands of miles, there is nothing more to worry about for guests.
The horse's hooves are light, like stepping on the clouds and chasing the moon; the gentle breeze gently blows over the broken hair hanging from her forehead.
She stood in front of the village gate, led the horse, summoned up all the courage in her past and present life, and stepped into the village.
In an inn in Wanqing County, Chen Jun sat by the window and looked down, seeing people coming and going on the street, hawking and shouting, it was very lively.I ordered a few more local foods, tried them one by one, and leaned comfortably against the window rail.Liu Zhen called the waiter to order a pot of tea. Seeing Chen Jun's extraordinary momentum, the waiter knew that he had met a distinguished guest, so he boldly said: "Guests, why don't you try the Qufang tea from Wanqing County? This tea has three wonderful properties. .”
Chen Jun looked at her and said, "Which three wonderful things?"
The clerk was eloquent, bent over and said, "The first trick is to brew the tea in cold water, and don't discard the first tea; the second trick is to soak the unfolded tea leaves in boiling water. This water—" her voice dragged The old man seemed to be spreading doubts and causing people to question him.
Chen Jun asked very cooperatively: "Do you want more water?"
The buddy smiled and said, "Of course I don't need it. San Miao needs to be steeped in ice water at the end, so that the cold fragrance in the tea will come out."
She looked at Chen Jun's face and asked, "Guest officer, would you like to try a pot?"
Chen Jun nodded, waved her hand and said, "Let's have a pot."
The waiter then went to ask someone to make tea, but the person was still waiting in front of him, saying: "This tea is brewed first, it will take some time, I hope the guest officer will wait."
Chen Jun naturally had time, and the waiter saw that she was more talkative, so he said, "I don't know, this Qufang tea, but it is getting less and less."
Chen Jun followed her words and asked, "What? Is there any origin of this tea?"
The man seemed interested in her, and said courteously, "I'm afraid the guest is from another place, right? You don't know, why is there a flood in Qiongzhou the year before last, which submerged the villages on both sides of the river. Qufang Village, which produces Qufang tea, did not know that the flood would come at night. The whole village was flooded, and few people were alive. Naturally, this tea is getting less and less. The ones in our store are still a lot prepared before. left behind."
Chen Jun smiled and clasped her hands lightly on the table.Liu Zhen took the teapot from the clerk and poured her a cup, but seeing her sitting on the table and meditating, she said, "Miss, let's have some tea."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun suddenly got up and said to Liu Zhen, "Go to pay the bill, we have to go."
Everywhere they went were dilapidated houses with collapsed beams, dilapidated brick walls and overgrown grass.
It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on Qingping's head, and she was cold from head to toe. She walked on the road in the village numbly. Anyone could see that this place was definitely uninhabited and deserted for a long time.
But in a huge village, people go to empty houses, and it will not become like this.
Besides, people who have lived for a long time will not easily leave the land, let alone all the people in a village move away together. This kind of situation is rare and almost impossible.
The only explanation is that the village encountered a catastrophe, and people abandoned the village, but in the empty houses, rusty sickles and small hoes for cutting tea trees can be seen. These objects are things that tea households in the village would never throw away. things that had been there, but are now buried in the weeds, rusting with them.
Qingping walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and her beating heart gradually became cold. She stood blankly by the river outside the village, unconsciously stroking the long mane of the horse, and suddenly got on the horse and ran towards Baishui Town.
Walking to the entrance of the town, he saw an old man spinning, Qingping got off his horse and asked, "Old man, do you know why there is no one in Qufang Village? But it moved away? Where did it go?"
The old man was a little deaf, Qingping couldn't bear it, and repeated it several times before he said: "The flood last year washed away the village at night, and few people were rescued, so it's all gone."
After speaking, he bowed his head and went to spin the linen again. Qingping walked slowly with his head down for a while, feeling empty in his heart. The sun was setting, the tired birds returned to their hometowns, and people also returned home slowly.
She was a little lost in thought, standing at the exit of Baishui Town and looking at the boundary marker outside the village.The handwriting on the boundary marker has long been blurred, as if it is a portrayal of her mottled life, countless expectations that have been frustrated countless times.Probably she is such a person, past and present, separated from her is the same fate.Fate still hasn't favored her in the slightest.
It turns out that what you hold tightly in your hand will also pass away, and no matter how much you look forward to, it will eventually come to nothing.
Qingping stood on the horse for a while, and turned the horse's head somewhat helplessly. She turned her head and looked at the town. Dispersed, the violet color is slowly rendered in the sky, and every house is lit up, bright and warm in the night.
There was a layer of mist in her eyes, and she drew the outline of the village again in her heart. In the blur, she saw bright lights in every house, and she knew that it was a family reunion.
It's just that among the thousands of lamps, there will no longer be the one that belongs to her.
Chen Jun asked the shopkeeper about the route out of the city, and rode out. Liu Zhen didn't know what happened and wanted to come out with her, but Chen Jun said, "Stay here and tell everyone not to follow."
She ran wildly all the way, and outside the moss-covered city gate, she saw Qingping riding a horse, coming slowly from the loess path.
Chen Jun held the reins tightly, looked at her ignorantly, only saw that the corners of her eyes were red, but nothing else was different, she sighed in her heart, and said: "It's too late, go back to the inn."
Qingping nodded, followed her obediently, and then Chen Jun heard her hoarse voice and said, "Miss, are you waiting for me here?"
Chen Jun's heart moved, and she couldn't tell what it was like. She reached out and touched her head, stroked her loose hair, put it behind her ear, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
I haven't heard Qingping speak for a long time, and I didn't hear her soft "thank you" until I was almost at the inn.
At night Qingping developed a fever for no reason, Liu Zhen twisted the wet veil to cool her down, but it didn't get any better.Hurriedly going to report to Chen Jun, Chen Jun took Qingping back to her room, covered her with a thick quilt, and asked the staff to call for a doctor.
After seeing the doctor, he said that he was in a hurry and suffered some cold, so he prescribed some antipyretic medicine and left.
Liu Zhen went to boil the medicine, Chen Jun changed Qingping into a handkerchief, saw her strangely red face, then patted her head to comfort her.
Of course she knew why Qingping fell ill suddenly, maybe it had something to do with going back to visit relatives today.But Qingping tilted his head, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes onto the pillow.
Chen Jun helped her wipe away the tears, but who knew that the child was crying more and more fiercely, and the tears fell silently, but she was still lying down without any ups and downs of emotion on her face.
Chen Jun looked at her for a while, and smoothed her frowning eyebrows. The feeling in her heart was indescribable. She hugged Qingping and the quilt in her arms, let her lean on her, and immediately felt the hot tears Flow down the side of your neck.Chen Jun recalled that every time she was bullied when she was a child, she would lie in her father's arms to seek comfort, and her father would pat her on the back to comfort herself.
She stretched out her hand to pat Qingping's back, and slowly, Qingping stopped crying.Liu Zhen brought up the medicine, Chen Jun asked her to rest, and fed Qingping the medicine by herself, then turned off the light and went to bed, still hugging Qingping and patting her.
She heard the old man say that only those who hide many things in their hearts will cry in their dreams, and the quieter they are, the more unbearable their grief will be.This kind of behavior is actually very sad. Chen Jun lay on the side of Qingping and looked at her face seriously, stretching out a finger unconsciously to describe her facial features.
She knew that Qingping was actually a person who could hide things very well in his heart, and she didn't want to say that it was useless to be forced by anyone.What kind of person Qingping is, Chen Jun can't guess.
It turned out that she was also sad. Chen Jun slowly ran across the girl's eyes, then her nose, and finally along her lips to her chin. Too smart indeed, smart people never live long.
Chen Jun inexplicably hoped that she would be more stupid. She leaned close to her forehead and touched it lightly, feeling that the heat seemed to have receded a little. When they parted again, Qingping suddenly stopped and murmured: "Mom..."
The voice was inaudible, and Chen Jun was both funny and bitter in her heart. Thinking of her biological mother, she felt that she would look the same without her.She hugged Qingping tightly, pressed her into her arms, and sighed: "Okay, okay, we are all motherless..."
The next day when Qingping woke up, Chen Jun was sitting at the table reading a book, seeing that she was awake, she ordered porridge, and said gently to her, "Eat something."
Qingping's mind was still a little numb, and he didn't realize that he was sleeping on Chen Jun's bed again for a while.She got out of bed and changed her clothes, sat at the table and drank porridge dully, then suddenly said: "Miss, when are you leaving?"
Chen Jun thought she didn't want to stay in this sad place, so she said, "Leave tomorrow."
Qingping nodded, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have had a long dream yesterday, the specific content could not be clearly remembered, only feeling that someone was hugging him all the time.She looked at Chen Jun, nodded and said, "Miss, were you taking care of me yesterday?"
Chen Jun glanced at her, put down the book and said, "It's me, you are not honest when you sleep at night, you keep talking in your sleep."
Qingping's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "Then what did I talk in my sleep?"
Chen Jun said solemnly: "You naturally mean 'Miss is a very good person', 'Miss is a very kind person', 'Miss treats me really well', that's it."
Qingping glanced at her in disbelief, feeling that he would never say such words even in his dreams, thinking that Chen Jun was teasing him again, but he knew it was her kindness, so he didn't feel angry.
The two sat for a while, neither of them mentioned yesterday's family visit.When Liu Zhen came in, Chen Jun still teased Qing Ping as usual, but Qing Ping seemed much more rational and responded calmly.After recovering overnight, Liu Zhen vaguely felt that something had changed in her, but she couldn't tell.
The convoy rested for another night, and set off early the next morning.
Qing Ping rode his horse through the bustling long streets and ancient roads, and when he left Wanqing County, he still couldn't help but look back.
The hometown is gone, where can I feel at ease?
Going down from Qiongzhou is Hengzhou, and Chang'an, the capital of Kyoto, is here.
After traveling for nearly two years, and finally returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Qingping didn’t have much in mind, but as the distance from Chang’an got closer, Liu Zhen couldn’t help but ask her what she wanted to do in the future. What.
Qingping understands that she wants to stay by Chen Jun's side. The two have been together for a long time, and Liu Zhen also treats her sincerely, but she always wants to be an ordinary person in her heart.
Perhaps following Chen Jun back to the palace, it would be more than enough to be a manager in the future.Being in charge of the palace, it sounds majestic to outsiders, but she doesn't know why she instinctively resists this kind of life.
What she wanted, from the beginning to the end, was to belong to herself, and she never thought about it.
Just like that, the carriage staggered through the pass and arrived at Chang'an slowly.The majestic and majestic city appeared in front of them, and there were heavy guards outside the city gate, strictly examining the documents of those who entered the city.Chang'an is like a dormant beast, entrenched on the Liaohe River.
Sitting in the car, Chen Jun asked Qingping to go in. Qingping came secretly, took a deep breath, entered the car, and knelt down respectfully.
Chen Jun stared at her, and said softly: "I told you when I left, if I return to Chang'an, I will return your deed of prostitution to you, I keep my word."
She pushed a piece of yellow paper, stared at Qingping closely, and said: "Actually, you have two choices. Qingping, you can continue to stay by my side. I can guarantee the wealth and glory from then on. Life is alive. Isn't it for this? If you stay by my side, these will naturally be there. "
Qing Jing said quietly: "What if I choose another one?"
Chen Jun said indifferently: "It means that we have no destiny and no role. You take the deed of sale and leave. I will give you some money and we will have nothing to do with you from now on. You can't tell anyone what you have heard and seen these days, and it's best to pretend You don't know me."
Seeing her stretching out a slender white finger and gently pressing it on her lips, Qingping took the yellow deed of sale, bowed to her, and was about to get out of the car to leave. She lifted the curtain, but was held down by the cold scabbard. Shoulder, Tianxuan pushed her back into the car, Qingping heard Chen Jun say calmly: "But you know I have too many, I am really worried."
Qingping responded calmly: "I will never say anything about Miss, please rest assured, I—"
The sword light was so sharp that it forced her to suffocate her breath, and her pupils shrank slightly due to fear. Chen Jun held the long sword beside her neck, and said word by word: "What if I don't believe it?"
Qingping closed his eyes in despair, and gave up on himself: "Let it be dealt with by you."
Unexpectedly, the weight on the shoulder lightened, Chen Jun put the sword back into its sheath, and said with a smile, "That's right, very bold, I won't be afraid that you will be bullied in the future."
Qingping looked at her blankly, not understanding why she changed her face again, it was really faster than turning the pages of a book.Chen Jun touched her head gently, and said solemnly: "Li Qingping, you have to listen carefully to what I'm saying now."
She took out a document from her sleeve, looked at Qingping and said: "This is the document from Li Qingping of Hexi County. This person was born in the Li family of Hexi, and his parents are both in Qiongzhou. He is a good citizen. He has been certified and filed by the official school of Hexi County. You Take it away. The age recorded on it is four years older than you are now, with this, you can go to Chang'an Official Academy to study now."
Qingping was dumbfounded, took the document with trembling hands, opened it, and as Chen Jun said, the person recorded on it had the same name and surname as her, but was four years older than her. , which is the age at which Chang'an official school allows admission to study.
She was holding the document, but Chen Jun said, "It's not enough to have these. This is your birth date and birth certificate. You must also have a certificate when you study in Hexi official school. You have to put away the documents of the yamen, and you must not lose them. Once you lose them, you will be able to detect the loopholes in your identity when you reissue them. Unless you have obtained a reputation and confirmed your identity, otherwise... ..”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qingping also knew the consequences of impersonating someone and forging documents.Chen Jun put the things into a brocade bag, smiled at her and said, "Qingping, we really have to separate. You are a good boy and have your own ideas. Do whatever you want."
Qingping's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't help asking: "Miss, why did you do this?"
She knelt down on the ground, bowed again and again, and said, "I want it, how can I repay you in the future?"
After finishing speaking, I felt a little ridiculous. With Chen Jun's prominent family background, it might be easy for her to do these things, but for me, with this status, it was like a dream to be able to enter an official school. .
If what she considered before was how to find a way out for herself and find a job to fill her stomach, then the things Chen Jun gave were a shortcut to Yangguan Avenue.
A strange color appeared in Chen Jun's eyes. She shook her head with a smile, and said in a low voice, "How do you think you will repay me? I told you when I was in Hezhou, only when you are capable can you be qualified to say repay." If you don't, it's too early for you."
Qingping looked at the brocade bag silently, and suddenly Chen Jun took the fire bag, lit the deed of prostitution, threw it out of the window, and said: "This thing can't be kept. Those with unclean family backgrounds are not allowed to enter official schools. remember."
"There are still many things to learn, Qingping, you are just one of thousands of people, no one knows where you will go." Chen Jun gently brushed the pattern on the scabbard, said: "You only have You are yourself, and in the future... you will only be yourself."
Qingping made a big gift silently, put the bag on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Miss once told me that 'those who achieve great things don't care about small things, and you don't have to repay your kindness', but in my heart, love is the most important thing. , I will repay this kindness, and I will also repay the love."
Chen Jun lowered her head and smiled, and said: "I know you will definitely not tell me about me, as long as you do this well, you will pretend not to know me when you see me in the future, that is the best reward for me .”
He found it very interesting again, and said, "I'm waiting for you, the day when you will repay your kindness."
Qingping looked at her and said: "This is farewell, I don't know when I will see you again, I hope you will cherish it."
Chen Jun nodded and said, "You too."
When Qingping got off the carriage, Liu Zhen rushed out and hugged her, her eyes were red, and she said sadly, "Qingping, do you really want to leave?"
Qingping was also a little bit reluctant to part with her, but he still told the truth: "Yes, I'm leaving, Liu Zhen, take care of yourself."
Liu Zhen forced her a few banknotes, took a deep breath and said, "You must have a lot of places to spend money...take it."
Qingping didn't refuse, she put it in her arms, Liu Zhen held her hand and said: "You want, you need to be good, you know?"
Qingping nodded, the carriage was moving forward slowly, Liu Zhen returned to the side of the carriage and waved to Qingping.
The outside of Chang'an City was overcast, Chen Jun watched the carriage far away, and suddenly someone shouted: "It's snowing!"
A piece of pure white snowflakes fell slowly, and then more and more snowflakes fell from the sky. Qingping counted the days, and it turned out that it was already November.
Snowflakes fluttered and fluttered one after another, falling on the hair and collars of people passing by.Qingping remembered that when he left Chang'an that day, it was snowing heavily and the sky was gloomy, as if his future was uncertain.
She took a piece of falling snow and let it melt in her hands. She carefully watched the process of the snow melting, and then made up her mind and walked towards the gate of Chang'an City.
Leaden gray clouds covered the sky over Kyoto, seemingly without end.Endless snowflakes fell from the clouds, and each one was different. The edges and corners of the snowflakes refracted subtle light, as if they were the eyes of thousands of people in this world.
The north wind gently rolls up the snowflakes, as if it is an invisible hand controlling fate, rolling up the joys and sorrows of the world, and flying to more distant places.
Four years later, the Chang'an Ritual Department belonged.
Qingping closed the door and sat by the stove to warm up the fire. Outside the door was already in the middle of winter and the time when dripping water turned into ice.
Next to her were some colleagues who were talking about the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, saying that they would definitely go to see it when Xiumu came.
Qingping was also a little curious, and leaned over to listen for a while.
Kyoto has three views.
First, enjoy the snow on Chongzhen Mountain in winter, and live in the Qingxu Temple in the mountain. On a sunny day, invite a few friends to hold a fire in the pine garden, discuss poetry and papers, accompanied by green pines reflecting the snow, showing the elegance of Confucian scholars .
Second, □□upstairs to appreciate the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, close to the bustling Xichang Street, the temple fair at the beginning of the year or the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, it is naturally a bright, fiery trees and silver flowers, dancing fish and dragons all night.
The third thing is to admire the smoked willows by the lakeside of Lanyue Lake. The scenery is not divided into four seasons, and it is even more fragrant with red sleeves and accompanied by fine wine.
It turned out to be a cliché. She often heard it from her classmates when she was studying in the government school, but she never went there.I was also busy with scientific examinations in those few years, and I was worried every day, so naturally I didn't have time to think about those things.
Qingping sighed, unexpectedly four years had passed in the blink of an eye.After she passed the Chang'an official school examination, the final scientific examination was immediately followed. 360 people were selected out of thousands of people, but only the top 32 people had the opportunity to enter the palace examination, and were asked by His Majesty to take the school examination.
Although she thought she was good, she didn't make it into the top 32. She only got 46th, but it was a good result, worthy of her daily hard study.
After the scientific examination, they entered the Tongwen Hall to take classes. After teaching for one year, it was another exam before they were released and sent to the six subordinate institutions for training.
It can be said that as beautiful as the hairpin banquet was on that day, it will be as miserable as it was later.After being killed out of thousands of troops, those without background and family background still have to lean back.But at least she got a Jinshi background, confirmed that identity, and relieved her worries, it was like a big rock fell to the ground.
Qing Ping was warming up at the fire, when suddenly a person stumbled in and rushed in, the person took off the cloak and squeezed to her side, saying, "Oh, it's so cold, I just walked around outside, and I feel like I'm going to be a popsicle!"
The man yelled for a while, and then said: "Hey, Qingping, are you going to Chongzhen Mountain to enjoy the snow scene? It's just too cold. If you're not afraid of the cold, why don't you go and have a look?"
Qing Ping looked at his friend who was on the same list as Jinshi, and said with a smile: "Yan Jinghan, your name is Jinghan, why are you afraid of the cold?"
Yan Jinghan giggled and said: "I'm in the cold season, but I don't mean to scare away the cold, Qingping, do you want to go?"
Qing Ping said: "Yes, I haven't had a good time in the capital. I've been studying in the past few years. I'm so bored."
Yan Jinghan said: "Yes, I read every day, eh, actually I want to go to Lanyue Lake to see the snow scene, do you want to go?"
Qingping glanced at her with a half-smile, and said, "Is it really just to see the snow scene?"
Yan Jinghan said confidently: "Of course I have to watch something else. What do you do watching snow scenes every day? It's boring!"
Qingping was familiar with this friend's temper, and said: "Then you should first make an agreement with your father, don't rely on me again, saying that I will trick you into drinking!"
Yan Jinghan rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "Of course not, last time, last time was a mistake, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about it, okay?"
The author has something to say: wag your tail!
After saying this, Qingping felt numb to herself, she looked at Shao Ming's face turning white and turning red, and she was a little uncertain, thinking over what she wanted to say.
Shao Ming's heart tossed countless chapters and sentences, and he couldn't utter the last sentence, so he heard Qingping say: "But Young Master Shao, I am just a momentary impulse to you, you will like Li Qingping today, and you will like Zhang Qingping tomorrow, Change your name and surname, it's all the same to you."
Shao Ming wanted to say something, but Qingping took advantage of the victory to chase after him, pretending to be sad and melancholy and said: "Naturally, as the young master said, if I pay so much and the person doesn't respond, even if I have a passion for it, I still want it." condensed into ice."
Shao Ming pursed his lips and said, "Then why do you still do this?"
Qing Ping smiled and said: "I want to be happy with each other. I want to take him to see the peach blossoms in Hezhou, to watch the sea-watching banquet in Chenzhou, and to Lancheng in Minzhou to watch the sea and enjoy the moon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a damp sea breeze blew in, and the jingling copper bells swayed in the wind, from near to far, sweeping the entire city like an invisible wave.The clouds broke and the moon rose, and the clear light was long, falling on them gently and lightly.
As if to add to the fun of this speech, both the lighting and the atmosphere were rendered very appropriately. Qingping stood up and looked at the distant sea.She said: "We have the same mind, go together, visit mountains and rivers, and we will do this all our lives. We will accompany each other in life, old age, sickness and death. If I can't find such a person in my life, then let me be alone until I grow old, it's okay OK."
She stared at Shao Ming with clear eyes, a gleam of water flashed across Shao Ming's eyes, he nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "...that's all."
When he raised his head again, he had already recovered his demeanor, no embarrassment or resentment, only the corners of his eyes were a little red, he bowed his body and saluted, and said gracefully: "Then I wish you, find the love in your heart as soon as possible."
Qingping nodded with a smile, and replied: "Young master will find such a person, when you first see her, you will know that this is the person who will accompany you in this life."
Shao Ming just shook his head, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he didn't want to say anything more.
Chen Jun, who was hiding in the dark, touched the sword in his arms, and looked at the distant sea thoughtfully.
She was talking with Tianxuan in the inn just now, when she heard a strange movement, she followed out with a sword, and chased all the way here, but she never expected to meet someone else.
It's just that the two people in this tryst seem to be in harmony, she originally thought that under Shao Ming's lure, Qingping would be shaken.
But no, the young son Yuexia revealed his heart, and nine out of ten people are moved. Not everyone can refuse the glory and wealth of the Shao family. When Qingping said no, she was naturally relieved.
Chen Jun has never raised such a big child, and I am afraid that her own sisters have never taken it so seriously. She often feels that she can't handle it well, and she can't let go of being close or distant.
She doesn't want Qingping to be afraid of her, but at the same time, she wants to master everything about this person, eager to dig out the unknown side of her heart, but she also hopes that she can grow up as she wants.
Chen Jun couldn't tell what kind of emotion she had invested in Qingping, until tonight, she seemed to have seen a completely different Li Qingping.
Her childishness from time to time does not affect her stability and calmness, on the contrary, she is very lovable.Anyone can hear her polite refusal to Shao Ming in her words, Shao Ming failed to seduce her and wanted to use affection to impress her, she also simply used affection to decipher his words.
Chen Jun patted the dust off her body, Qingping had already left, leaving her standing alone in the evening wind, listening to the light ringtone.
She stood in the night and thought, it turned out that there are people in this world who are born to fly in the sky, rest in the wind, travel north and south, spend their entire lives, and fly across the sky the moment they raise their heads, never to be found again.
Not long after staying in Lancheng, the convoy set off for the north.This time I walked directly from the official road, just passing through Yunzhou.Yunzhou has a large land area and few people. You can only see the vast Gobi desert and low bushes on the boundary line. There is a section of the official road at the junction of Yunmin and Minzhou. The scenery along the way changes suddenly, from green forests to desolate rocky beaches.
From a distance, Yunzhou seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist. This state and county is the gateway to the country. It is facing the Xirong tribes. The former kingdom gave up the Irish grassland, and the two countries maintained a short-term peace. Now Xirong seems to be ready to move again, often looting and intruding on the border.
It's just that the nobles of Xirong are so powerful that no one will obey anyone, and they often annex and internal friction.The elite soldiers and generals of the Dai Kingdom are all stationed on the border of Yunzhou. Although there are constant small battles, it is impossible for major conflicts to occur in a short period of time.
Chen Jun lowered the curtain and said, "I don't know how long this situation can last."
Qingping asked: "Miss, did you say there will be a fight?"
Chen Jun couldn't deny it: "You can't tell. Xirong is ruled by the combination of the gods and the government. If you want to come to power, you must get the approval of Bi Shu and the Golden Tent Royal Court. Since the Golden Tent was destroyed 300 years ago, there has never been another Bi Shu." stated."
Liu Zhen asked curiously: "Miss, what is Bi Shu?"
Chen Jun closed the book and said: "Bi Shu is a goddess in the legend of the grassland. She has the power to move clouds and rain. In the legend, Bi Shu walks with fish schools along the river, attaching the souls of the dead to the fish and guiding them to the place of reincarnation. Therefore, people on the grassland regard the river as a sacred place, and they must not touch the water with their feet unless it is absolutely necessary. When fetching water, they must bow to the river bank and take it out respectfully. The fish is the servant of Bishu, with the soul of reincarnation, if you eat the fish, you have committed a crime worse than killing, and you will be disgusted by the gods."
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Miss, what does Bi Shu have to do with the nobles of Xirong?"
Chen Jun said: "It is said that Bi Shu will cast his shadow body into the human world in 100 years, and his god body will continue to perform his duties. The Golden Tent Royal Court took out the jade bottle of spirit lotus and looked for Bi Shu's reincarnation among school-age children. This is the most mysterious ceremony in Xirong , the ones who dealt with them are all elderly witch mausoleum masters, and I don't know the specifics, but I just know a general idea."
Qingping was very puzzled and said, "Is it too hasty to draw lots to find Bi Shu? If someone secretly manipulates it, it is easy to decide the candidate."
Chen Jun patted her head. She often did this recently, and she didn't know what the meaning was.She said: "You can think of it, can't Xi Rong think of it? The selected children are said to be born with spiritual wisdom, and can use the secret treasure of the Golden Tent to spy on the cycle of cause and effect...but this is just a legend, the grassland People like to pretend to be gods and play ghosts, so it is unimaginable for a small tent of gods to dare to be called the royal court, surpass the nobles, and rule the grassland."
She suddenly thought of her biological mother, isn't she a good example of chasing the theory of longevity and gradually being controlled by others.Chen Jun's heart suddenly cooled down. Thinking carefully, Chenmin and Minzhou were also affected by the seminary. Although it seems insignificant, it is hard to say what will happen to this seemingly inconspicuous seminary when it is crucial. Upend the situation.
Everything that seems to be peaceful, but there are undercurrents surging in the hinterland, and crises are everywhere.
Walk along the official road, pass Yunzhou, and go north to Qiongzhou.Qingping's hometown is Wanqing County in Qiongzhou, but she only has a vague idea of where it is, which seems to be a village near Baishui Town.
As if by coincidence, when the motorcade passed by Wanqing County, Chen Jun suddenly said, "Qingping, aren't you from Qiongzhou? If you have relatives here, you might as well go back and have a look."
Wanqing County is a small county, but if you search carefully, you can naturally find your home.Qingping was hesitant, unable to guess what Chen Jun meant by this, was it a test?She was silent for a while, she really missed her biological parents and wanted to go back and have a look.
She nodded and got out of the car to lead the horse. Chen Jun said: "There is an inn nearby, so we will stay there. I happen to have something to do, so you can go back to the inn after you finish watching."
Although Qingping didn't know Chen Jun's purpose, she was still very grateful to her for thinking of herself. Liu Zhen took a small purse and stuffed it into her arms quietly. Qingping quickly refused, but Liu Zhen smiled and turned back to the car. inside.
An indescribable feeling surged in Qingping's heart, she held down the purse, looked back, Tianquan waved to her gently from the carriage, signaling her to leave quickly.So she rode on, running faster and faster down the street.
She ordered a pot of tea for two copper coins in a simple teahouse, and asked the boss how to get to Baishui Town. The boss has opened a shop in Wanqing County for many years. Seeing her eagerness, she knew that she was a visitor looking for someone back home. He said: "The guest went east, and saw a big tree, then turned west, and after leaving the city, there is Baishui Town."
Qing Ping finished drinking the water, said thank you, wiped his mouth and got on the horse.According to what the boss said, she saw a huge camphor tree, about the size of five people hugging each other. She turned west and walked out of the city gate. The horseshoes stepped on the yellow sand road and splashed dust.
Qing Ping never knew that she could ride so fast on a horse. She galloped all the way, her clothes fluttered, the wind blew violently by her ears, and she squinted her eyes to watch the road.Perhaps it is the eagerness to go home that temporarily puts all fear and panic aside.
She no longer thinks about Chen Jun's intentions, and whether she can get her own contract when she returns to Chang'an. The ancient way is barbaric, but it is so cute.She has been a human being for two lifetimes, and finally has a family, parents, siblings.She used to think that she was a wandering person, but she didn't expect that God was so kind and left her with expectations in this world.
Qingping saw a place where houses gathered, and knew it must be Baishui Town.She led the horse into the town, and her heart beat faster than ever.At one moment she was worried about whether her parents would deny her, and at another moment she found that her hands were empty, but luckily she still had some silver taels and a piece of topaz in her arms. Like all the timid wanderers who are close to the hometown, she slowed down on the familiar land, hesitating and full of hope. eager.
People passing by looked at her curiously, and she spoke in a low voice with her familiar accent. She said to a passer-by, "Excuse me, there is a village near Baishui Town called Qufang, do you know how to get there?"
The man looked at her attire, and said hesitantly, "Just leave Baishui Town and go west...but where are the guests going to do?"
Qing Ping said: "Go look for someone." She got on the horse, and without any hesitation, she went straight to the west.
"Hey! Guest, guest!" the man called, but Qingping couldn't hear anything. The desire for home in her heart broke through all obstacles. She walked all the way west, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the familiar village.
Whoever pities a shadow will be lost by thousands of clouds.Returning home to the dream of thousands of miles, there is nothing more to worry about for guests.
The horse's hooves are light, like stepping on the clouds and chasing the moon; the gentle breeze gently blows over the broken hair hanging from her forehead.
She stood in front of the village gate, led the horse, summoned up all the courage in her past and present life, and stepped into the village.
In an inn in Wanqing County, Chen Jun sat by the window and looked down, seeing people coming and going on the street, hawking and shouting, it was very lively.I ordered a few more local foods, tried them one by one, and leaned comfortably against the window rail.Liu Zhen called the waiter to order a pot of tea. Seeing Chen Jun's extraordinary momentum, the waiter knew that he had met a distinguished guest, so he boldly said: "Guests, why don't you try the Qufang tea from Wanqing County? This tea has three wonderful properties. .”
Chen Jun looked at her and said, "Which three wonderful things?"
The clerk was eloquent, bent over and said, "The first trick is to brew the tea in cold water, and don't discard the first tea; the second trick is to soak the unfolded tea leaves in boiling water. This water—" her voice dragged The old man seemed to be spreading doubts and causing people to question him.
Chen Jun asked very cooperatively: "Do you want more water?"
The buddy smiled and said, "Of course I don't need it. San Miao needs to be steeped in ice water at the end, so that the cold fragrance in the tea will come out."
She looked at Chen Jun's face and asked, "Guest officer, would you like to try a pot?"
Chen Jun nodded, waved her hand and said, "Let's have a pot."
The waiter then went to ask someone to make tea, but the person was still waiting in front of him, saying: "This tea is brewed first, it will take some time, I hope the guest officer will wait."
Chen Jun naturally had time, and the waiter saw that she was more talkative, so he said, "I don't know, this Qufang tea, but it is getting less and less."
Chen Jun followed her words and asked, "What? Is there any origin of this tea?"
The man seemed interested in her, and said courteously, "I'm afraid the guest is from another place, right? You don't know, why is there a flood in Qiongzhou the year before last, which submerged the villages on both sides of the river. Qufang Village, which produces Qufang tea, did not know that the flood would come at night. The whole village was flooded, and few people were alive. Naturally, this tea is getting less and less. The ones in our store are still a lot prepared before. left behind."
Chen Jun smiled and clasped her hands lightly on the table.Liu Zhen took the teapot from the clerk and poured her a cup, but seeing her sitting on the table and meditating, she said, "Miss, let's have some tea."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun suddenly got up and said to Liu Zhen, "Go to pay the bill, we have to go."
Everywhere they went were dilapidated houses with collapsed beams, dilapidated brick walls and overgrown grass.
It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on Qingping's head, and she was cold from head to toe. She walked on the road in the village numbly. Anyone could see that this place was definitely uninhabited and deserted for a long time.
But in a huge village, people go to empty houses, and it will not become like this.
Besides, people who have lived for a long time will not easily leave the land, let alone all the people in a village move away together. This kind of situation is rare and almost impossible.
The only explanation is that the village encountered a catastrophe, and people abandoned the village, but in the empty houses, rusty sickles and small hoes for cutting tea trees can be seen. These objects are things that tea households in the village would never throw away. things that had been there, but are now buried in the weeds, rusting with them.
Qingping walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and her beating heart gradually became cold. She stood blankly by the river outside the village, unconsciously stroking the long mane of the horse, and suddenly got on the horse and ran towards Baishui Town.
Walking to the entrance of the town, he saw an old man spinning, Qingping got off his horse and asked, "Old man, do you know why there is no one in Qufang Village? But it moved away? Where did it go?"
The old man was a little deaf, Qingping couldn't bear it, and repeated it several times before he said: "The flood last year washed away the village at night, and few people were rescued, so it's all gone."
After speaking, he bowed his head and went to spin the linen again. Qingping walked slowly with his head down for a while, feeling empty in his heart. The sun was setting, the tired birds returned to their hometowns, and people also returned home slowly.
She was a little lost in thought, standing at the exit of Baishui Town and looking at the boundary marker outside the village.The handwriting on the boundary marker has long been blurred, as if it is a portrayal of her mottled life, countless expectations that have been frustrated countless times.Probably she is such a person, past and present, separated from her is the same fate.Fate still hasn't favored her in the slightest.
It turns out that what you hold tightly in your hand will also pass away, and no matter how much you look forward to, it will eventually come to nothing.
Qingping stood on the horse for a while, and turned the horse's head somewhat helplessly. She turned her head and looked at the town. Dispersed, the violet color is slowly rendered in the sky, and every house is lit up, bright and warm in the night.
There was a layer of mist in her eyes, and she drew the outline of the village again in her heart. In the blur, she saw bright lights in every house, and she knew that it was a family reunion.
It's just that among the thousands of lamps, there will no longer be the one that belongs to her.
Chen Jun asked the shopkeeper about the route out of the city, and rode out. Liu Zhen didn't know what happened and wanted to come out with her, but Chen Jun said, "Stay here and tell everyone not to follow."
She ran wildly all the way, and outside the moss-covered city gate, she saw Qingping riding a horse, coming slowly from the loess path.
Chen Jun held the reins tightly, looked at her ignorantly, only saw that the corners of her eyes were red, but nothing else was different, she sighed in her heart, and said: "It's too late, go back to the inn."
Qingping nodded, followed her obediently, and then Chen Jun heard her hoarse voice and said, "Miss, are you waiting for me here?"
Chen Jun's heart moved, and she couldn't tell what it was like. She reached out and touched her head, stroked her loose hair, put it behind her ear, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
I haven't heard Qingping speak for a long time, and I didn't hear her soft "thank you" until I was almost at the inn.
At night Qingping developed a fever for no reason, Liu Zhen twisted the wet veil to cool her down, but it didn't get any better.Hurriedly going to report to Chen Jun, Chen Jun took Qingping back to her room, covered her with a thick quilt, and asked the staff to call for a doctor.
After seeing the doctor, he said that he was in a hurry and suffered some cold, so he prescribed some antipyretic medicine and left.
Liu Zhen went to boil the medicine, Chen Jun changed Qingping into a handkerchief, saw her strangely red face, then patted her head to comfort her.
Of course she knew why Qingping fell ill suddenly, maybe it had something to do with going back to visit relatives today.But Qingping tilted his head, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes onto the pillow.
Chen Jun helped her wipe away the tears, but who knew that the child was crying more and more fiercely, and the tears fell silently, but she was still lying down without any ups and downs of emotion on her face.
Chen Jun looked at her for a while, and smoothed her frowning eyebrows. The feeling in her heart was indescribable. She hugged Qingping and the quilt in her arms, let her lean on her, and immediately felt the hot tears Flow down the side of your neck.Chen Jun recalled that every time she was bullied when she was a child, she would lie in her father's arms to seek comfort, and her father would pat her on the back to comfort herself.
She stretched out her hand to pat Qingping's back, and slowly, Qingping stopped crying.Liu Zhen brought up the medicine, Chen Jun asked her to rest, and fed Qingping the medicine by herself, then turned off the light and went to bed, still hugging Qingping and patting her.
She heard the old man say that only those who hide many things in their hearts will cry in their dreams, and the quieter they are, the more unbearable their grief will be.This kind of behavior is actually very sad. Chen Jun lay on the side of Qingping and looked at her face seriously, stretching out a finger unconsciously to describe her facial features.
She knew that Qingping was actually a person who could hide things very well in his heart, and she didn't want to say that it was useless to be forced by anyone.What kind of person Qingping is, Chen Jun can't guess.
It turned out that she was also sad. Chen Jun slowly ran across the girl's eyes, then her nose, and finally along her lips to her chin. Too smart indeed, smart people never live long.
Chen Jun inexplicably hoped that she would be more stupid. She leaned close to her forehead and touched it lightly, feeling that the heat seemed to have receded a little. When they parted again, Qingping suddenly stopped and murmured: "Mom..."
The voice was inaudible, and Chen Jun was both funny and bitter in her heart. Thinking of her biological mother, she felt that she would look the same without her.She hugged Qingping tightly, pressed her into her arms, and sighed: "Okay, okay, we are all motherless..."
The next day when Qingping woke up, Chen Jun was sitting at the table reading a book, seeing that she was awake, she ordered porridge, and said gently to her, "Eat something."
Qingping's mind was still a little numb, and he didn't realize that he was sleeping on Chen Jun's bed again for a while.She got out of bed and changed her clothes, sat at the table and drank porridge dully, then suddenly said: "Miss, when are you leaving?"
Chen Jun thought she didn't want to stay in this sad place, so she said, "Leave tomorrow."
Qingping nodded, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have had a long dream yesterday, the specific content could not be clearly remembered, only feeling that someone was hugging him all the time.She looked at Chen Jun, nodded and said, "Miss, were you taking care of me yesterday?"
Chen Jun glanced at her, put down the book and said, "It's me, you are not honest when you sleep at night, you keep talking in your sleep."
Qingping's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "Then what did I talk in my sleep?"
Chen Jun said solemnly: "You naturally mean 'Miss is a very good person', 'Miss is a very kind person', 'Miss treats me really well', that's it."
Qingping glanced at her in disbelief, feeling that he would never say such words even in his dreams, thinking that Chen Jun was teasing him again, but he knew it was her kindness, so he didn't feel angry.
The two sat for a while, neither of them mentioned yesterday's family visit.When Liu Zhen came in, Chen Jun still teased Qing Ping as usual, but Qing Ping seemed much more rational and responded calmly.After recovering overnight, Liu Zhen vaguely felt that something had changed in her, but she couldn't tell.
The convoy rested for another night, and set off early the next morning.
Qing Ping rode his horse through the bustling long streets and ancient roads, and when he left Wanqing County, he still couldn't help but look back.
The hometown is gone, where can I feel at ease?
Going down from Qiongzhou is Hengzhou, and Chang'an, the capital of Kyoto, is here.
After traveling for nearly two years, and finally returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Qingping didn’t have much in mind, but as the distance from Chang’an got closer, Liu Zhen couldn’t help but ask her what she wanted to do in the future. What.
Qingping understands that she wants to stay by Chen Jun's side. The two have been together for a long time, and Liu Zhen also treats her sincerely, but she always wants to be an ordinary person in her heart.
Perhaps following Chen Jun back to the palace, it would be more than enough to be a manager in the future.Being in charge of the palace, it sounds majestic to outsiders, but she doesn't know why she instinctively resists this kind of life.
What she wanted, from the beginning to the end, was to belong to herself, and she never thought about it.
Just like that, the carriage staggered through the pass and arrived at Chang'an slowly.The majestic and majestic city appeared in front of them, and there were heavy guards outside the city gate, strictly examining the documents of those who entered the city.Chang'an is like a dormant beast, entrenched on the Liaohe River.
Sitting in the car, Chen Jun asked Qingping to go in. Qingping came secretly, took a deep breath, entered the car, and knelt down respectfully.
Chen Jun stared at her, and said softly: "I told you when I left, if I return to Chang'an, I will return your deed of prostitution to you, I keep my word."
She pushed a piece of yellow paper, stared at Qingping closely, and said: "Actually, you have two choices. Qingping, you can continue to stay by my side. I can guarantee the wealth and glory from then on. Life is alive. Isn't it for this? If you stay by my side, these will naturally be there. "
Qing Jing said quietly: "What if I choose another one?"
Chen Jun said indifferently: "It means that we have no destiny and no role. You take the deed of sale and leave. I will give you some money and we will have nothing to do with you from now on. You can't tell anyone what you have heard and seen these days, and it's best to pretend You don't know me."
Seeing her stretching out a slender white finger and gently pressing it on her lips, Qingping took the yellow deed of sale, bowed to her, and was about to get out of the car to leave. She lifted the curtain, but was held down by the cold scabbard. Shoulder, Tianxuan pushed her back into the car, Qingping heard Chen Jun say calmly: "But you know I have too many, I am really worried."
Qingping responded calmly: "I will never say anything about Miss, please rest assured, I—"
The sword light was so sharp that it forced her to suffocate her breath, and her pupils shrank slightly due to fear. Chen Jun held the long sword beside her neck, and said word by word: "What if I don't believe it?"
Qingping closed his eyes in despair, and gave up on himself: "Let it be dealt with by you."
Unexpectedly, the weight on the shoulder lightened, Chen Jun put the sword back into its sheath, and said with a smile, "That's right, very bold, I won't be afraid that you will be bullied in the future."
Qingping looked at her blankly, not understanding why she changed her face again, it was really faster than turning the pages of a book.Chen Jun touched her head gently, and said solemnly: "Li Qingping, you have to listen carefully to what I'm saying now."
She took out a document from her sleeve, looked at Qingping and said: "This is the document from Li Qingping of Hexi County. This person was born in the Li family of Hexi, and his parents are both in Qiongzhou. He is a good citizen. He has been certified and filed by the official school of Hexi County. You Take it away. The age recorded on it is four years older than you are now, with this, you can go to Chang'an Official Academy to study now."
Qingping was dumbfounded, took the document with trembling hands, opened it, and as Chen Jun said, the person recorded on it had the same name and surname as her, but was four years older than her. , which is the age at which Chang'an official school allows admission to study.
She was holding the document, but Chen Jun said, "It's not enough to have these. This is your birth date and birth certificate. You must also have a certificate when you study in Hexi official school. You have to put away the documents of the yamen, and you must not lose them. Once you lose them, you will be able to detect the loopholes in your identity when you reissue them. Unless you have obtained a reputation and confirmed your identity, otherwise... ..”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qingping also knew the consequences of impersonating someone and forging documents.Chen Jun put the things into a brocade bag, smiled at her and said, "Qingping, we really have to separate. You are a good boy and have your own ideas. Do whatever you want."
Qingping's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't help asking: "Miss, why did you do this?"
She knelt down on the ground, bowed again and again, and said, "I want it, how can I repay you in the future?"
After finishing speaking, I felt a little ridiculous. With Chen Jun's prominent family background, it might be easy for her to do these things, but for me, with this status, it was like a dream to be able to enter an official school. .
If what she considered before was how to find a way out for herself and find a job to fill her stomach, then the things Chen Jun gave were a shortcut to Yangguan Avenue.
A strange color appeared in Chen Jun's eyes. She shook her head with a smile, and said in a low voice, "How do you think you will repay me? I told you when I was in Hezhou, only when you are capable can you be qualified to say repay." If you don't, it's too early for you."
Qingping looked at the brocade bag silently, and suddenly Chen Jun took the fire bag, lit the deed of prostitution, threw it out of the window, and said: "This thing can't be kept. Those with unclean family backgrounds are not allowed to enter official schools. remember."
"There are still many things to learn, Qingping, you are just one of thousands of people, no one knows where you will go." Chen Jun gently brushed the pattern on the scabbard, said: "You only have You are yourself, and in the future... you will only be yourself."
Qingping made a big gift silently, put the bag on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Miss once told me that 'those who achieve great things don't care about small things, and you don't have to repay your kindness', but in my heart, love is the most important thing. , I will repay this kindness, and I will also repay the love."
Chen Jun lowered her head and smiled, and said: "I know you will definitely not tell me about me, as long as you do this well, you will pretend not to know me when you see me in the future, that is the best reward for me .”
He found it very interesting again, and said, "I'm waiting for you, the day when you will repay your kindness."
Qingping looked at her and said: "This is farewell, I don't know when I will see you again, I hope you will cherish it."
Chen Jun nodded and said, "You too."
When Qingping got off the carriage, Liu Zhen rushed out and hugged her, her eyes were red, and she said sadly, "Qingping, do you really want to leave?"
Qingping was also a little bit reluctant to part with her, but he still told the truth: "Yes, I'm leaving, Liu Zhen, take care of yourself."
Liu Zhen forced her a few banknotes, took a deep breath and said, "You must have a lot of places to spend money...take it."
Qingping didn't refuse, she put it in her arms, Liu Zhen held her hand and said: "You want, you need to be good, you know?"
Qingping nodded, the carriage was moving forward slowly, Liu Zhen returned to the side of the carriage and waved to Qingping.
The outside of Chang'an City was overcast, Chen Jun watched the carriage far away, and suddenly someone shouted: "It's snowing!"
A piece of pure white snowflakes fell slowly, and then more and more snowflakes fell from the sky. Qingping counted the days, and it turned out that it was already November.
Snowflakes fluttered and fluttered one after another, falling on the hair and collars of people passing by.Qingping remembered that when he left Chang'an that day, it was snowing heavily and the sky was gloomy, as if his future was uncertain.
She took a piece of falling snow and let it melt in her hands. She carefully watched the process of the snow melting, and then made up her mind and walked towards the gate of Chang'an City.
Leaden gray clouds covered the sky over Kyoto, seemingly without end.Endless snowflakes fell from the clouds, and each one was different. The edges and corners of the snowflakes refracted subtle light, as if they were the eyes of thousands of people in this world.
The north wind gently rolls up the snowflakes, as if it is an invisible hand controlling fate, rolling up the joys and sorrows of the world, and flying to more distant places.
Four years later, the Chang'an Ritual Department belonged.
Qingping closed the door and sat by the stove to warm up the fire. Outside the door was already in the middle of winter and the time when dripping water turned into ice.
Next to her were some colleagues who were talking about the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, saying that they would definitely go to see it when Xiumu came.
Qingping was also a little curious, and leaned over to listen for a while.
Kyoto has three views.
First, enjoy the snow on Chongzhen Mountain in winter, and live in the Qingxu Temple in the mountain. On a sunny day, invite a few friends to hold a fire in the pine garden, discuss poetry and papers, accompanied by green pines reflecting the snow, showing the elegance of Confucian scholars .
Second, □□upstairs to appreciate the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, close to the bustling Xichang Street, the temple fair at the beginning of the year or the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, it is naturally a bright, fiery trees and silver flowers, dancing fish and dragons all night.
The third thing is to admire the smoked willows by the lakeside of Lanyue Lake. The scenery is not divided into four seasons, and it is even more fragrant with red sleeves and accompanied by fine wine.
It turned out to be a cliché. She often heard it from her classmates when she was studying in the government school, but she never went there.I was also busy with scientific examinations in those few years, and I was worried every day, so naturally I didn't have time to think about those things.
Qingping sighed, unexpectedly four years had passed in the blink of an eye.After she passed the Chang'an official school examination, the final scientific examination was immediately followed. 360 people were selected out of thousands of people, but only the top 32 people had the opportunity to enter the palace examination, and were asked by His Majesty to take the school examination.
Although she thought she was good, she didn't make it into the top 32. She only got 46th, but it was a good result, worthy of her daily hard study.
After the scientific examination, they entered the Tongwen Hall to take classes. After teaching for one year, it was another exam before they were released and sent to the six subordinate institutions for training.
It can be said that as beautiful as the hairpin banquet was on that day, it will be as miserable as it was later.After being killed out of thousands of troops, those without background and family background still have to lean back.But at least she got a Jinshi background, confirmed that identity, and relieved her worries, it was like a big rock fell to the ground.
Qing Ping was warming up at the fire, when suddenly a person stumbled in and rushed in, the person took off the cloak and squeezed to her side, saying, "Oh, it's so cold, I just walked around outside, and I feel like I'm going to be a popsicle!"
The man yelled for a while, and then said: "Hey, Qingping, are you going to Chongzhen Mountain to enjoy the snow scene? It's just too cold. If you're not afraid of the cold, why don't you go and have a look?"
Qing Ping looked at his friend who was on the same list as Jinshi, and said with a smile: "Yan Jinghan, your name is Jinghan, why are you afraid of the cold?"
Yan Jinghan giggled and said: "I'm in the cold season, but I don't mean to scare away the cold, Qingping, do you want to go?"
Qing Ping said: "Yes, I haven't had a good time in the capital. I've been studying in the past few years. I'm so bored."
Yan Jinghan said: "Yes, I read every day, eh, actually I want to go to Lanyue Lake to see the snow scene, do you want to go?"
Qingping glanced at her with a half-smile, and said, "Is it really just to see the snow scene?"
Yan Jinghan said confidently: "Of course I have to watch something else. What do you do watching snow scenes every day? It's boring!"
Qingping was familiar with this friend's temper, and said: "Then you should first make an agreement with your father, don't rely on me again, saying that I will trick you into drinking!"
Yan Jinghan rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "Of course not, last time, last time was a mistake, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about it, okay?"
The author has something to say: wag your tail!
