Chang'an ancient meaning

Li Chengqi was feeling sad when he suddenly felt his waist tighten and the mount under him sink. It was Xue Chongjian who jumped out from nowhere, grabbed his waist, climbed onto the horse's back and sat behind him.He turned his head and said in surprise: "Hua Nu! What are you doing here?" Xue Chongjian said with a smile: "Come to ask for money! Ash said that if you ride a horse in the middle of the road today, you can ask for a lot of money." Li Chengqi heard him like a bandit , not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he said to Shi Chun, the servant who had always served Xue Chongjian: "Take your lord back quickly!" Shi Chun honestly dismounted from his horse and said, "Young lord said he wanted to come out to find the princess..."

Seeing Wu Youji's wedding convoy approaching, Li Chengqi hurriedly said, "Huanu, listen to me once! This is not a place to play around, go back!" Xue Chongjian tilted his head and looked at him with a smile on his lips Said: "Are you going to drive me away and find me a father?" Li Chengqi was anxious and uncomfortable, and was about to coax him off his horse, when the crowd around him started to make a fuss, shouting, "New wife ,stay!"

The new son-in-law, Wu You, still looked a bit embarrassed, but fortunately he didn't have to be stingy with his belongings. He quickly asked people to throw the prepared money to the crowd on both sides of the road, and presented ten red lacquered phoenix treasure tin boxes on Li Chengqi's horse. On both sides, the boxes were opened. Among them were gold plates, silver cups, saddle swords and swords, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings in silk robes, and several boxes of sesel stones, agate beads, coral gold belts, which made people's pupils burn in the sun. The halberd blocked it, and the onlookers almost rushed forward to fight for it.

Li Chengqi was young and shy, and he didn't want to stay on this occasion for a long time. He nodded and smiled at Wu Youji awkwardly, and was about to rein in his horse to get out of the way. You didn't give me the money to stop the car!" He was originally shorter than Li Chengqi, and sitting behind Li Chengqi, Wu Youji was dizzy from the sun and didn't see him, so he said in surprise, "Huanu?" Zhai behind him The beaded jade curtain of the car creaked softly.

Xue Chongjian said bluntly: "My name is Xue Chongjian! Don't bark at me!" Wu Youji hurriedly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Chongjian." He turned around and said: "Follow Your Highness's example, give Chongjian the same Bring a copy." In the past, it usually took four or five rounds before the family would be willing to leave the car when asking for money. He had already prepared a lot of presents, and immediately a servant boy came over with a few boxes and put them on the side of the road.

Xue Chongjian glanced at the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of these things in my house. My coral tree is taller than yours! I don't care for it! You bring some I have never seen before, otherwise my mother will be left behind!" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and they shouted again: "Young lady, stay here!" Wu You's face became hot, and he said with a sneer, "Whatever you want, just tell me, and I will do it." Xue Chongjian said with a smile: "Okay, I like your horse, let me ride it!" Wu Youji was stunned. He didn't understand why Xue Chongjian only liked his horse, but after all, he had already spoken, let alone him Hope to get rid of this little Tai Sui early, simply get off the horse and say to the servant boy: "Lead me another horse."

Xue Chongjian was overjoyed, and clapped his hands and laughed, "You are such a good man!" Li Chengqi knew that Xue Chongjian did not come here because he only wanted a horse, so he scolded him in a low voice, "Huanu, don't make trouble!" He winked, his smile full of slyness.Li Chengqi was even more worried, but he didn't understand what he was going to do.Xue Chongjian led Wu Youji's horse, and struggled to lift his leg to reach the stirrup, Wu Youji was also amused by him, and said: "This horse is too tall, may I find you a smaller one?" But Xue Chongjian smiled at him and said, "I'll play a trick for Grandma!" Holding the rein with both hands, he jumped up, but instead of sitting on the saddle, he stepped on the horse's back, Stand upright.

Zhai Che's beaded curtain was lifted with a bang, revealing Princess Taiping's face in full makeup. She shouted eagerly: "Huanu, be careful not to fall! Come down quickly!" After all, she was apologetic in her heart, and changed her tone and coaxed: " Be good, come down, mother has something to tell you when she gets home."

Xue Chongjian smiled and said: "Mother, don't you like Daddy's Hu Xuanwu? I have also learned it!" He kicked the heels of his boots and the toes of his boots, and the horse was startled by him, neighing and trampling wildly. Xue Chongjian held the reins tightly with both hands, although his body was swaying from side to side, the movements of his feet were brisk and cheerful.Since the founding of the dynasty, the children of the aristocrats have been riding and shooting, but a nine-year-old child is so good at horseback that the crowd of onlookers exclaimed and applauded.For some reason, Princess Taiping saw her son standing so high for the first time, her eyes were a little sour, and she was frightened by his actions, she shouted: "Come on, pull him down!"

Xue Chongjian didn't care at all, he jumped off with a smile, turned around and groped for the saddle for a while, then led the horse back, walked up to Wu Youji and said with a smile: "Mum doesn't like it, I don't want it anymore. You Ride on him to pick up Aunt and go home." The sun shines on Xue Chongjian's face that is as clear as a transformed boy, that face is so clean that even the shadow cast by the long eyelashes can be seen clearly.He didn't wear a scarf either, standing in the middle of the road with his hips akimbo, he really looked like an ignorant urchin.Wu Youji felt a sense of pity, he didn't want to ride an undecorated horse to marry, so he got off and took his own horse, and even reached out to touch Xue Chongjian's face.

Xue Chongjian didn't dodge either, just turned around with a smile and got on Li Chengqi's horse again. He shook the reins and said, "Let's make way for the son-in-law." Get on the horse.Suddenly, the horse seemed to be struck by lightning, neighing and galloping forward. Before Wu Youji stepped on the stirrups and grabbed the reins, he subconsciously hugged the horse's neck tightly and screamed, "Come..." The horse He seemed to be crazy, and ran wildly regardless of the people in front of him, scaring several Jin Wus to run away, and the stunned servant boy of the Wu family rushed to chase after him.Li Chengqi turned back to look at Xue Chongjian in a daze, Xue Chongjian hugged his waist tightly, rested his head on his back, bit his lip and bulged his cheeks, trembling with laughter.

From a distance came Wu Youji's crying cry: "Help..." Then there was a scream, and the newly-married King Ding was thrown into the world of mortals by his mount, and he became a free steed, galloping with vigor Going away, the voice of Heluan went straight to Qingyun.

After Princess Taiping entered the mansion, she went to rest in the inner hall. She didn't need to visit her uncle and aunt, she just waited for the night to cast the tent and fan it.She sent someone to inquire about Wu Youji, and learned that he only scratched a few skins, but did not hurt any bones. After thinking for a moment, she ordered people to call Li Chengqi and Xue Chongjian to come in.

She stared at the beauty in the mirror in a daze. The man used snails to draw the beaded eyebrows, gold thread and emeralds on the cheeks, two smears of gold powder and light yellow on the sideburns, a golden hibiscus flower embellished the eyebrows, and the hair on the high bun The hanging Bu Yao, Nobile, and Cui Qiao flickered tremblingly.Since she got up early in the morning, she has been arranged by others to dress up, and it took more than an hour just to pull up this bun.At this moment, she is very disgusted, wishing to grab all the pearls and jade off her hair, and wash off the powder makeup that hides her age. She knows what she has lost in the past ten years, the best years of her life, the most beautiful The good people are gone forever, she can deceive no one but herself.

She raised her hand, a dozen gold jumpers and jade arms jingled on her arms.She held back again, she knew that her mother's love for her would not allow her to do whatever she wanted.It's so easy for a mother to crush someone she cares about.

Xue Chongjian led Li Chengqi, who was restless, bouncing in, and shouted with a smile: "Mother!" It seemed that he was in a good mood.

Taiping turned around, picked up a thin needle from the gold plate and asked, "Whose idea is this?" Li Chengqi asked in surprise, "What is this?" Taiping said coldly, "This is from the saddle of that horse. I found it." Only then did Li Chengqi realize that Hua Nu had hidden the needle under the saddle, no wonder the horse was startled in pain as soon as Wu Youji sat on it.Xue Chongjian stuck out his tongue with a smile, and said, "So it was caught." He took a step forward, and said with a smile, "I did it, my cousin doesn't know."

Seeing that he was suddenly fine, Taiping's anger gradually rose again, and he threw the needle back into the plate, although it was small, there was a very clear sound in his ears.She stared at her son and asked: "I expected it to be you too. Do you want to kill Wu Youji?" Xue Chongjian was taken aback: "He is dead?" I'll pay for your life!" Only then did Xue Chongjian realize that his mother was scaring him, and said with a smile, "He's such a big man, and he's not made of porcelain, how could he die if he fell? I also fell when my father taught me how to ride a horse. At most, my butt hurts for a few days."

Hearing that Xue Shao was mentioned again, Taiping felt sore and swollen in his heart, with impetuous anger, and said: "You deliberately want him to make a fool of himself in front of others!" Xue Chongjian smiled and said quietly: " Yes! I hate that man!"

Taiping looked at his son's clear and bright pupils, guessing whether it was the natural brilliance of a young man or the hazy moisture. This child has been like this since he was a child, and he was really naughty and coquettish, with snot and tears coming at his beck and call, but when he was really angry , may not shed a tear.In the past, Xue Shao was there, and when he knew that his son was going too far, his father would control him, and he could pamper him as much as he wanted.It was different now, the accident was too sudden, neither she nor Xue Chongjian was ready.Now she is the only one left, and she has to teach and protect her son with her own strength.She straightened her face and said seriously: "Remember, you are not allowed to play tricks on him in front of others in the future. You can go crazy at home, but when you go outside, especially in front of your grandma, you must honestly call him Uncle. I heard that." Is it?"

Xue Chongjian had never heard his mother speak to him in such a blunt tone. The word "not allowed" came from his mother's mouth, which was still a little strange.I couldn't tell whether it was shock or grievance in my heart, I gritted my teeth, and said angrily: "No! This is my house, why does he live in here? Now I can't beat him, so I will give him a needle under the saddle, and when he grows up in the future..." He looked back at Li Chengqi, and said, "...he is as tall as my cousin, so kick him out!"

Taiping was both annoyed and anxious, she couldn't make sense of the matter with him, her hands trembled with anger, and the gold jumper on her wrist made a slight noise, she caught a glimpse of a rosewood paperweight on the table , took it over in his hands and shouted: "Are you asking for a beating?" Li Chengqi said in surprise: "Auntie!"

Xue Chongjian buzzed, at first he thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at the black-purple ruler with his mouth half-opened for a moment, before he realized what it meant that it was being held by his mother.For a moment, I only thought of one thing. When he was naughty, Dad pressed him on his legs and patted his butt a few times. It didn't hurt much. When he yelled, Grandma snatched him away immediately, and gave Dad a reproachful look. .In his small heart, he felt that the aunt with slightly slanted eyes and slightly raised red lips was really beautiful. He would rather put on a show and cry and listen to his mother complaining about his father. Drowning, he enjoyed with a little mischief.Those days will never come to an end.

A surge of arrogance reverberated in his little heart, he snorted and said, "Daddy is gone, you will kill me too, so you can live with him!" He suddenly tucked his robe around his waist, and pulled a The trousers were pulled down, and it turned out that it was the overlord of Chu who faced thousands of troops with arrogance. He fell on the table and said, "You fight!" Hearing that he was still talking nonsense, Taiping felt extremely painful. Anger blocked his chest, he couldn't bear to think that he would take off his trousers, and obviously put them on his shoulders, the anger in his heart became even hotter, he stretched out his arms to pick him up, pressed him on his lap, and raised his arms The ruler slapped down on his buttocks.

Since Song Shoujie was dismissed from office, Xue Chongjian has not been beaten for several years, and he has long forgotten what it feels like to be on the board. The ruler is a bit thicker than the ruler of the day. Although Taiping didn't use all his strength, he was beaten in a rage Not lightly, with a crisp snap, Xue Chongjian's bright moon-like buttocks were covered with a layer of peach blossom.As soon as Xue Chongjian gritted his teeth, a thin layer of sweat broke out all over his body. He looked down and saw the pattern of Guanyin sitting on the lotus platform delicately woven with gold thread on his mother's nine-torn long skirt.When he was beaten so hard that his body trembled, the bright red Shu brocade and shiny gold thread swayed in front of his eyes.He remembered that his grandmother said with a smile that my flower slave was like a talented boy under Guanyin, and my father whispered in his ear: Then you are Guanyin.They were not talking loudly, but he heard it, and he understood that it was Daddy praising his mother's beauty, and now his mother's beauty was going to be given to a stranger.

Taiping saw that the two white hillocks trembled a few times from his beating, which was tender and soft unique to young people, but he didn't hear his son's cry, knowing that he hadn't honestly admitted his mistake, the board beat down again cruelly.Xue Chongjian was bitter in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and endured the burning pain in his buttocks, but for some reason, the more he endured, the more he felt the pain, it seemed to be more painful than Song Shoujie's beating that day. He never expected that his mother would be so cruel, and the world hung upside down They were all swollen, and I didn't know where my heart went.The more he was in pain, the more aroused the tragedy of fighting alone. He neither wanted to cry out for mercy, nor even reached out to hug his mother's leg, but pressed his fists to his lips.

Li Chengqi had seen Xue Chongjian's earth-shattering cries, and the honest and beaten flower slaves in front of him made him feel even more heartbroken.Although he knew that Hua Nu was really making too much trouble today, but seeing the overlapping scars on Hua Nu's buttocks, he couldn't help pleading: "Aunt, Hua Nu is also... miss uncle, don't hit him."

Princess Taiping once again heard the person she deliberately avoided, and could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. Before Xue Shao left, she never knew that tears must be hidden. The children don't understand her thoughts.Tears fell in her eyes, and she felt great grief, but she was even more anxious to strike, and said angrily: "Look at him, he still doesn't know his mistake by now!"

Xue Chongjian was in so much pain that he wanted to cover his buttocks with his hands. When he was in a state of confusion, he never thought that his mother would cry. He thought to himself, my cousin still likes me.He was still a bit angry at first, but after Li Chengqi's pleading, he felt even more pitiful, and he was the only one left who felt pity for him in the world. Let her beat me to death!" Hearing this, Tai Ping added force and landed three times on his buttocks, Xue Chongjian really couldn't bear the pain this time, so he cried out and kicked his legs, Kicking over the table next to Taiping, a celadon lotus water jet fell down, the water jet was as thin as a cicada's wings, even on the wooden floor, it fell into thousands of pieces, like broken moonlight sinking into a deep pond.

Li Chengqi couldn't stand it anymore, he knelt down and grabbed Taiping's wrist, begging: "Auntie! Don't hit me any more!" He caught a glimpse of two lines of poem engraved on the town ruler: "May I be a thousand-year-old Zhensong, who cares?" Fang Hibiscus is new", with a sharp pain in my heart, I whispered: "Is this uncle's thing?"

Taiping looked at Zhenchi in astonishment, and suddenly his whole body softened, allowing Li Chengqi to gently take Zhenchi away.After the silence, Xue Chongjian only heard his own choking and panting. After listening for a while, he felt something was wrong again. It seemed that he was not crying alone in the room. Seeing a teardrop slipping out of the mother's eyes, slipping through the flower tinsia she carefully pasted, hovering and flashing on her plump jaw, like a star on a clear night, there is still a touch of splendor flowing.All of a sudden, the star fell on his arm, the summer clothes were light and absorbent, and the tear suddenly seeped in, scalding his skin sticky and hot.

His mind was confused, and he called out in a trembling voice, "Mum..."

Taiping saw his son's little face was swollen and red, almost the same color as his buttocks that had been beaten by him, and his bright eyes still contained a bit of timidity, his heart ached and he was intoxicated for a moment, he felt that Xue Chongjian was about to fall from his knees and stretched out. Hugging him in his arms, Xue Chongjian bowed his head into her arms, hugged his mother tightly and cried: "Mum, I was wrong, don't cry!" Taiping also hugged him and whispered in his ear "Huanu, my mother doesn't like that person either, but we have to pretend in front of outsiders, do you understand?" Xue Chongjian blinked and said, "My mother likes me the most in my heart." Taiping smiled through tears: "Yes Ah." Xue Chongjian was rubbing the skirt of her mother's chest, fiddled with a small gold box tied on it back and forth, and muttered: "Then mother will hug me to sleep tonight." Seeing him rubbing his chest with tears and snot, Taiping just Jue loves him so much in her heart, she gently pinches his little face, the tenderness of the tentacles, which are like cheese crisps, makes her feel in awe of the world in her heart, this child who can cry, make trouble, get angry and act like a baby, is actually her and her Loved ones create together.In the future, the child in my arms will grow up and grow into a majestic man like that man. Although there is heart-piercing pain, life is still tenaciously reincarnated.
