spring event night

After seeing Yun Xian that day on Qixi Festival, Jiang Shan didn't see him for several days.During this period, Yunxian asked Sanqiu to invite him once, but Jiang Shan also refused.He is not a person who is not firm in his mind, but he is always teased by Yun Xian's few words.

It just so happened that the princess took some girls to the temple to offer incense on this day, but Jiang Shan didn't follow and was cooking in the mansion.He had just gone to look at the needlework, and when he came back he was passing the pond in the garden.At this time of year, the lotus flowers are all gone, the lotus leaves are still green, and occasionally there are one or two residual lotus plants.The weather was fine, and the lotus leaves were blown up by the wind and fell down.Jiang Shan walked along the pond and picked some lotus leaves in a shallow water, planning to go back and make some lotus leaf tea.

He picked a handful of lotus leaves and was about to walk back when he raised his eyes and saw a man in white standing on the bridge over there.The man had a leisurely posture, his satin-like hair was tied up with only a wooden hairpin, and his complexion looked bright and breezy.

Jiang Shan was taken aback for a moment, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Steward Jiang stayed." Yun Xian said with a smile, "Could it be that Yun Xian is ugly and speechless, why did Steward Jiang turn around and leave when he saw it?"

Jiang Shan had no choice but to stop and look back at him, "My lord has ordered you not to leave Qingzhuxuan."

"Don't worry, I avoid people." Yun Xian looked at Jiang Shan, his eyes shifted, "Besides, besides you, who else would think of me?"

Jiang Shan pursed his lips, and Yun Xian asked, "Did Steward Jiang think clearly about what I said a few days ago?"

Jiang Shan cupped his hands and said: "Jiang Shan is just a servant, not as the young master said, and it is difficult to accept the young master's love."

Yun Xian was not surprised at all, he looked at Jiang Shan leisurely, "Really?"

Jiang Shan didn't speak any more, he saluted and was about to leave.

"Nanping County King." Yun Xian said these four words lightly.

Jiang Shan froze, and the lotus leaves in his hands fell to the ground.

Yun Xian walked up to Jiang Shan, picked a stone and sat down, said: "A few days ago when I left the mansion, I went to the old mansion of Nanping County King. I don't know if you have visited it, but the place is overgrown with vegetation and desolate. tight."

Jiang Shan turned his head and looked at Yun Xian.

Yun Xian collected his clothes, and said slowly: "The King of Nanping County is a son of the clan. His ancestors made great military exploits, and became sworn brothers with His Majesty at that time, and gave him a surname. In terms of seniority, the King of Nanping County wants to call His Majesty today. Brother Huang. Later, the Nanping County King married the Empress Dowager’s cousin and niece as his wife. They were about the same age and had similar family backgrounds. They loved each other very much after marriage.

Jiang Shan's hands under the sleeves clenched into fists.

Yun Xian sighed suddenly, "In the 14th year of Yongshun, that is, 17 years ago, one day, the princess of Nanping County went to the palace to see the Queen Mother. By chance, she met Her Majesty today. When Her Majesty saw the princess of the county, she was astonished as a heavenly man, disregarding the principles of ethics. , forcibly took it as her own. The princess of the county refused to obey, stabbed her majesty and then hanged herself. The majesty lost her beauty and hurt her body, and became angry from shame. Eight years old, the first daughter was only three months old."

Jiang Shan raised his eyes to look at Yun Xian, there were many things in his eyes, and there was a dazzling red at the end of his eyes.

"How do you know?" Jiang Shan's voice was deep.

"Then how did you recognize me?" Yun Xian's eyes were sharp.

Jiang Shan has nothing to hide, "I saw you when I was in the Empress Dowager's palace, and I recognize your eyes."

Yun Xian's brows moved slightly, and he told him the truth, "A few days ago, I was chatting with your apprentice. He said that you stayed in the Empress Dowager's Palace for ten years and Chengwang's Palace for seven years. This year you are just 25 years old. That poor son of the prince of Nanping County is the same age."

"Just because of this?"

"Enough." Yun Xian said: "The Empress Dowager is the cousin of the Princess of Nanping County. It is reasonable and reasonable to secretly save her son and put it next to me. After the Empress Dowager dies, you will go to Chengwang Mansion, where your status is detached. Thinking about it this way, probably King Cheng also knows your identity."

Jiang Shan's heart tightened, Yun Xian had an exquisite mind, and he knew what he said, basically everything he said was correct.

"Actually, the matter of Nanping County Prince's Mansion is not a secret." Yun Xian looked into Jiang Shan's eyes, "The courtiers, clan, and even the Queen Mother all know about Nanping County King's grievances, but no one speaks up for him."

Jiang Shan's eyes trembled, and Yun Xian continued: "Everyone watched them die unjustly, and watched the century-old bell-ringing and prosperous house turn into smoke in an instant. It has become a topic of conversation after dinner."

"Stop it!" Jiang Shan closed his eyes in pain.

Yun Xian raised his hand to wipe away the tears from Jiang Shan's cheeks, his eyes were filled with compassion, "We never did evil, how did we end up here? Jiang Shan, tell me, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

Jiang Shan's heart was in a mess, after struggling several times, he raised his hand to knock down Yun Xian's hand, and stepped back a few steps.

Yun Xian's hand was hanging in the air, and after a while, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Don't you want to avenge your parents?"

Jiang Shan didn't speak.

A chill flashed across Yun Xian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, this is your choice. I won't force you. It's just that I can't be as kind as you are." , I don't want to live on in the world after many years, and the grievances of my parents will be forgotten."

Yun Xian looked straight into Jiang Shan's eyes, and said: "As a son of man, even if I cut the flesh and bones, I want their blood to pay for it!"

Jiang Shan returned to his yard in a daze, closed the door, and left himself alone in the house.He sat there in a daze for a while, then got up and took out a box from the cabinet. When the box was opened, it was a string of pearl and agate eight-treasure bracelets.

Jiang Shan held the bracelet in his hand, and his palm hurt.

At night, Jiang Shan had a dream, dreaming of the majestic imperial city.

Jiang Shan knew that he was dreaming, he looked at everything in the hall like a bystander, there was a dying old woman lying on the bed, and the younger Jiang Shan was kneeling beside the bed, there were only two of them in the hall .

That was the Empress Dowager, she let His Majesty do to the princess of Nanping County, and because of this, she was dying of guilt in the last ten years of her life.

"Jiang Shan." The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse.

"The slave is here." Jiang Shan moved closer.

The queen mother held Jiang Shan's hand, her voice was intermittent, "How old are you this year?"

"Eighteen."

"Eighteen." A trace of sadness flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, "If you put it in an ordinary family, you will have to marry a wife and have children."

Jiang Shan held the queen mother's hand and did not speak.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for you." The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Shan, "After I die, you go...to become a palace. Outside the palace... after all, it is more comfortable than inside the palace. Outside the palace, There is still... there is still something to look forward to."

Jiang Shan nodded.

"I left you a house outside the palace and... and some gold and silver. You won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

The queen mother had already struggled to speak, she took off the pearl and agate bracelet from her hand, and gave it to Jiang Shan, "I named you Shan for you... I hope you will have a kind heart in the future... ,a peaceful life."

She suddenly became agitated, and grabbed Jiang Shan's hand tightly, "When I... When I beg you, don't take revenge."

Jiang Shan's eyes were red, and the queen mother's eyes were full of tears, looking straight at Jiang Shan.After a long time, Jiang Shan nodded, and tears rolled down the moment he closed his eyes.

The Empress Dowager got what she wanted, and all the strength in her body was released, and the hand holding Jiang Shan fell straight down.

The young Jiang Shan couldn't help sobbing in front of the Queen Mother's bed. In this world, the last person who remembered Duanwen Jiang also died.

Jiang Shan woke up from the dream, the corners of his eyes were still wet.

He took out the eight-treasure bracelet again, and stared at it for a long time, until he got a splitting headache.Jiang Shan put away the bracelet, took a string of Buddhist beads, knelt in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

Don't ask about the purity and filth, Shali's honor and surname, and Chandala, Fang Xing's kindness, regardless of the humble, the intention is perfect.

"At that time, the son of Prince Nanping was eight years old, and his daughter was only three months old."

All sentient beings have immeasurable merits and virtues, Ananda knows the Tathagata World Honored One.Hexu Bodhi.and Da Kasyapa.For Arhats.The heart is uneven.Admire the Tathagata.Uncovered.Overcome doubts and slanders.

"I... just beg you, don't take revenge!"

You should know that all sentient beings, from beginningless time, continue to live and die, all born from the ignorance of the permanent true nature and pure body.

"Jiang'er! Go! Go!" "Father!"

The Buddha beads in Jiang Shan's hands were clenched tighter and tighter.

"As the son of man, even if I cut the flesh and bones, I want their blood to pay for it!"

With a bang, Jiang Shansheng broke the beads, and the beads rolled down one after another, and scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Shan opened his eyes, looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva with lowered eyes and lowered brows, who was compassionate and compassionate, and there was no trace of awe in his heart.

The next day was the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the palace came to invite the princes and concubines to sacrifice and burn incense.Jiang Shan found a free time and left the palace.

The street is lively and bustling, many shops sell paper-pasted gold and silver robes, multicolored clothes, fruit snacks, and Zunshengmu Lianjing.Jiang Shan walked through the bustling street, dressed in white, and turned into an alley.

The vermilion gate is covered with dust, and the stone lions in front of the gate are dilapidated. At first glance, it is full of depression.Jiang Shan looked at the door for a while, then stepped forward to push the door open.

Most of the houses are decayed, the windows are exposed to the wind, the door panels are on the side, and the few remaining furniture inside are overturned in a mess.People from the imperial court confiscated all the things in the mansion, and the precious flowers and trees gradually died because no one took care of them.There are a few old trees among the overgrown weeds, which vaguely look like in memory.

The earliest Nanping County King was a hero who founded the country, and his title was hereditary.Jiang Shan raised his foot and stepped across the threshold, the current county prince's mansion no longer has the same grandeur as it did back then.

Jiang Shan found a place and slowly lit the Buddhist scriptures that he had copied a hundred times. The yellow paper was floating all over the sky, and the desolation was unspeakable.

"How does it feel to revisit old places?"

At some point there was a person standing beside him, Jiang Shan glanced at him and asked, "How did you come out?"

Yun Xian gathered up his clothes, "It's not like I can't even get out of the palace."

Jiang Shan didn't speak, and turned back to burn the Buddhist scriptures in his hand. He was sitting on his knees, his plain white clothes were stained with a lot of grass clippings.Yun Xian stood beside him, glanced at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and said in a half-sarcastic tone, "I have copied the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, are you devout or guilty?"

Jiang Shan pursed his lips and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

It was the first time for the good-tempered Steward Jiang to talk to Yun Xian like this, and Yun Xian was extremely curious, and asked, "Are you angry?"

Jiang Shan turned his head away from looking at him, Yun Xian squatted down, stretched out his hand and squeezed Jiang Shan's chin to force him to turn around.

Jiang Shan frowned and knocked off Yun Xian's hand, Yun Xian asked, "Have you thought about it clearly?"

"Think about what?"

Yun Xian stood up, with a look of contempt in his eyes, "People in the world wrong you and me, you and I should seek justice for ourselves."

The sun was hanging in the sky, and the sunlight came down and shone on them.There were two of them, one standing and the other kneeling. After a long time, Jiang Shan shook his head, "I am cowardly by nature. I can give up even to avenge my family, let alone murder and set fire. It is useless for you to find me. I will help you." nothing to you."

Hearing this, Yun Xian was not only not angry, but laughed instead.He said that he couldn't do things like murder and arson, but it wasn't that he didn't want to do such things.He already had the idea of ​​revenge in his heart, with such a thoughtful temperament like him, he couldn't tell the whole story, he even thought about reopening the lintel in the future.

Yun Xian said with a smile: "Jiang Steward is clean, but Yun Xian doesn't dare to stain your body with dust. You don't have to do anything, as long as you stand with me, Yun Xian will be grateful."

Jiang Shan glanced at him, apparently not believing his nonsense.

Yun Xian didn't care whether Jiang Shanxin believed him or not, he was very happy now, his eyebrows were stretched out, showing a bit of wanton flying.

Jiang Shan watched the flames slowly devour the yellow paper, turned his head and tugged at Yunxian's clothes, and asked, "Do you want to burn some paper money for the deceased?"

Yun Xian was taken aback for a moment, the joy on his face faded, and a very strong hatred and hostility instantly appeared in his eyes.

"No need," Yun Xian said coldly: "Many people died, and your little paper money is not enough."

Jiang Shan was taken aback, and looked up at Yun Xian, who was standing, casting a shadow over his head.For some reason in Jiang Shan's heart, he suddenly felt some sympathetic sadness.
