Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

The fleeting years are like water, and the years are like water.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, Yangzhou, Qiling Temple.

Du Gou walked into Qiling Temple, watching casually all the way, maybe because the Buddha's birthday had passed yesterday, and it was very quiet in Qiling Temple at this time, hardly any believers were seen, but Du Gou could clearly hear it, and there was a pleasant sound The sound of laughter, mixed with the voice of a child, Du Gou curiously followed the sound.

When I turned into the Guanyin Hall behind Qiling Temple, I saw a boy about fifteen or six years old sitting in a wheelchair, talking softly with two girls about 14 years old with a peaceful smile on his face.There is also a little girl about seven years old, two little boys and girls about four years old with similar faces, running and playing from time to time.

Du Gou waited to see the boy's face clearly, he couldn't help staring at the boy in a daze.

It was him?

The young man has a handsome face, clean eyes, and a quiet and comfortable smile on his face. When the young man saw Du Gou, he seemed a little surprised, and then smiled, "Du Gou? Long time no see."

Du Gou came back to his senses, his face couldn't help but reddish, he stepped forward a few steps, bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Du Gou has met His Highness King Zhongshan, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Jinyang, King Jin Your Highness."

The girls who were joking, that is, Changle and Yuzhang stopped, looked at Du Gou, nodded slightly, and then pulled the seven-year-old girl who was chasing after the little boy, and said angrily, "Gao Yang, stop playing. I am a childish slave." , Si, don’t run away either.”

The little boy about four years old suddenly ran forward, leaned against the boy's wheelchair, opened a pair of black and white eyes, and asked, "Brother, who is he?"

"He is Du Gou, the eldest son of Master Du Ruhui." The young man, namely Cheng Qian, patted the little boy's head and said with a smile.

"Are you the Du Gou who my brother said is very smart and good at playing Cuju?" The little boy stepped forward, raised his head and asked, staring at Du Gou seriously and curiously.

Du Gou bent down respectfully and said, "If you go back to His Highness, I will be Du Gou."

The little boy, namely Jin Wang Li Zhi, stared at Du Gou and nodded, "Then can you teach me how to play later?"

Du Gou was taken aback, then bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Du Gou, "You said 'yes'? Do you have something to do later?"

Du Gou was startled, nodded and said, "Returning to His Highness, yes."

Li Zhi frowned, "Then don't say 'yes'. I asked if you could, since you have something to do, if you answer me with 'yes', wouldn't that be my order to you? If you have something to do, you can Go get busy. Teach me how to play when you are free."

Du Gou replied, "Yes."

Cheng Qian shook his head with a smile, and patted Li Zhi on the head, "Okay, stop playing. Young slave, take your son to find the queen mother, and tell the queen that Du Gou is here."

Li Zhi stuck out his tongue, made a grimace at Du Gou, turned around, took Sizi's hand and ran towards the inside.

Hongyu and Zhu'er, who had been waiting quietly, hurriedly followed.

Changle and Yuzhang pulled Gao Yang forward, and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go to find the queen mother first."

"Okay. Be careful." Cheng Qian nodded and said softly.

Wait until Changle and Yuzhang are far away.Cheng Qiancai raised his head to look at Du Gou who was standing stiffly in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's been four years, how are you doing these four years?"

Du Gou replied respectfully, "Everyone is fine, but everyone misses His Highness very much."

Can't help but look up at Cheng Qian secretly, seeing Cheng Qian's face is rosy, his eyes are still clean and beautiful, but..., glanced at the legs on the wheelchair, Du Gou felt a little regretful, His Highness's legs...

Cheng Qian caught Du Gou's gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Actually, this...is pretty good." Cheng Qian looked at the sky, thinking of the past four years, his eyebrows and eyes could not help but frown.

Four years ago, the queen mother gave birth to a pair of twins, Zhinu and Sizi.

Afterwards, the royal father made a decree to "demote" the queen mother and himself from the palace in the name of recuperating and seeking medical treatment.

It wasn't until Shen Junyuan took care of his mother's body and healed his legs that he learned from his mother that one of the conditions for his father to release Shen Junyuan was to find a famous doctor who could heal his legs...

And this exit from the palace lasted for four full years.

And there were unexpectedly many people who followed him and his mother out of the palace, including the young slave and the son.The queen mother would never leave the newborns behind, unexpectedly, Changle, Yuzhang, and Gao Yang all followed.However, the royal father also acquiesced?

In the past two years, in order to raise their young slaves and sons, they just settled down in Yangzhou, visited the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, tasted the delicious food of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and lived a simple, fulfilling and happy life.

The only fly in the ointment is...

He always thought of his father, and sometimes he couldn't fall asleep thinking about it, so he could only wake up in the middle of the night and look at the moon in a daze.

Later, when Zhinu and Sizi grew up a little, they traveled around Suzhou and Hangzhou, but unfortunately they couldn't go far, because Zhinu and Sizi were too young, and the queen was not allowed.

But for him, it was also a very happy day.

Then, he began to wonder, for four years, the emperor would occasionally send someone to pick up Changle and Yuzhang Gaoyang, and Sizi and Zhinu returned to Beijing for a gathering, but he happened to be absent.

In four years, he never went back once.

He was puzzled, puzzled, and lost in his heart.

Until this year, the night of New Year's Eve.Only he, his mother, and Shen Junyuan were left.

The queen mother said to him abruptly, "Gan'er, when spring begins, you, the queen mother, and Uncle Shen, let's go to the desert together."

He was startled, looked at his mother's apprehensive and expectant eyes, and then glanced at Shen Junyuan who was also nervous.He smiled slowly, and suddenly understood in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Okay."

My heart is very bitter, then, I really was...

"Don't blame your father." Shen Junyuan said abruptly, with a sigh in his voice, "He is the king of a country, and there are some things that he has to..."

"I understand." He interrupted, tried to force a smile, and forced a smile, "I am the eldest son, and I am like this, no matter whether it is a young bird or a young slave in the future, I will be..." He didn't say any more.

The queen mother and Shen Junyuan were silent after being surprised.

But after that, no one mentioned this matter anymore, and he began to try not to think about Chang'an, and not think about his father who loved him so much...

And now, it is April.

Changle and the others returned to Yangzhou in March.It also brought back a lot of news from Chang'an.For example, Qing Que's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. For example, Li Ke has only immersed himself in his studies in the past few years, and no one cares about him. For example, his father recently fell in love with Xu Hui...

He listened and just smiled.

Today, the queen mother said that she would come to worship the Buddha, so he brought Changle and the others together. The queen mother mentioned to him last night that in three days, they would leave together and go to the desert.

Although the time was very short and tight, he didn't mention it to Chang Le and the others, but it's good to think about it.

You always have to leave, don't you?

After recovering, he looked at Du Gou, and Cheng Qian smiled, "By the way, Du Gou, why did you come?"

Du Gou replied respectfully, "Returning to Your Highness, I am following my father's order for a study tour. I passed by Qiling Temple today, thinking that yesterday was the Buddha's birthday, and I didn't make it in time to pray for my parents, so I wanted to come in and offer incense. I will meet Your Highness."

"It's a good thing you didn't come yesterday. There were too many people yesterday." Cheng Qian couldn't help shaking his head when he remembered what he saw when he accompanied Empress Changsun yesterday.

Du Gou smiled and said, "Your Highness is also here to pray?"

Cheng Qian hummed, looked up at the sky, the sky was vast, and the white clouds were leisurely, and said in a low voice, "I just don't know if I can fulfill my wish?"

Du Gou was stunned for a moment, seeing Cheng Qian's eyebrows and eyes flashed a trace of sadness, he couldn't help but approached with concern, "Your Highness?"

Cheng Qian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I'm fine. By the way, Du Gou, you go to visit the queen mother."

Du Gou could only nod his head and walked forward.After walking a few steps, he looked back worryingly, and saw Chengqian sitting in a wheelchair in a white robe, his figure was still as thin as he had seen four years ago.

*******

On the outskirts of Yangzhou, Lanyue Villa.

When he came here four years ago, Cheng Qian was surprised to find that Shen Junyuan was quite rich.

To Chengqian's surprise, Shen Junyuan just said coldly, "Your father is not the only talented person in the world!"

After hearing this, Cheng Qian replied with a smile, "But the one who wins the world is my father, a unique talent!"

Shen Junyuan froze, turned around and strode away.

Chengqian has been wandering in the world for many years, and has long ignored these small disputes. That night, knowing that Shen Junyuan had been wandering in a foreign land for many years, he asked about some things about the foreign land with great interest.

Shen Junyuan also explained in detail.

Then, the two lived together peacefully for four years.

It is a pity that even after leaving the palace, Empress Changsun did not agree to Shen Junyuan. The relationship between the two was respectful and polite. The slave son grew up.

Cheng Qian didn't understand this. Life is too short, so why should it be like this?

But Queen Changsun just smiled and said, "You don't understand."

Cheng Qian had no choice but to sigh, he really didn't understand.

But seeing Shen Junyuan's expression of being satisfied as long as he could see his sweetheart every day, Cheng Qian silently shut up.

*******

Thinking about leaving with his mother in three days, Chengqian looked at Sizi and Gao Yang who were playing on the swing, and at Changle and Yuzhang who were pushing the swing, hesitating whether to speak.

But after speaking, what should I say?

When Cheng Qian was deliberating on the words to use, Li Zhi came over, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Chengqian came back to his senses, glanced at the curious Li Zhi, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Young slave, my brother asks you, if one day, my brother is gone, can you take good care of my son and sisters?" ?"

Li Zhi was stunned, and then asked, "Brother, where are you going?" He frowned and asked, "Brother, don't you want to go back with us?"

Cheng Qian patted Li Zhi's head, feeling a little bit reluctant. In the previous life, not long after the child was born, his mother passed away. The child and himself didn't get along for a long time, but this life is different. The child can almost Said that he grew up by his side...

"Brother?" Li Zhi pulled Chengqian's sleeve anxiously, "Brother, are you not going back with us?"

Cheng Qian shook his head slowly, and comforted him, "Brother still has some things to do, so I won't go back with you this time."

Li Zhi was taken aback, then pouted, "Brother, you always say something!"

Cheng Qian smiled wryly in his heart, he also wanted to go back, wanted to see his father one more time, but...

"Brother!" Nunuuo's sweet voice, similar to Li Zhi's face, but with bright eyes, the cuter Sizi ran over, hugged Chengqian, raised his head, and smiled, "Brother, accompany me!" Let's play, son."

Chengqian softened his expression, touched Sizi's head, and said softly, "Okay, what does Sizi want to play?"

"Sizi wants to play wooden cards."

"Okay. The elder brother is playing wooden cards with Sizi. Young slave, you can come and play together."

It was almost dusk when Sizi finally had enough fun and fell asleep in Changle's arms.

Staring at Sizi's ruddy, white and tender smiling face, Cheng Qian smiled softly, perhaps because he has good medical skills, especially Shen Junyuan, who has specialized in research on the illnesses of his mother, Sizi's body is much healthier than in his previous life.Chengqian thought, as long as Sizi continues like this, maybe Sizi can get married safely, and even have children, and then watch the children grow up, marry a daughter-in-law, and become a mother-in-law...

I just don’t know, where was I at that time?

Putting aside the sudden sadness, Chengqian raised his head and smiled gently at Changle, "Take your son to sleep."

Changle smiled mischievously, hugged his son with Yuzhang, and walked out of Chengqian's courtyard.

When Li Zhi was leaving, he suddenly turned his head and said seriously to Cheng Qian, "Brother, Emperor Father said that he will come to pick him up. So, brother, you are not allowed to go anywhere! You have to wait for Emperor Father to come!"

Cheng Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled soothingly, "Okay, okay..., brother is not going anywhere."

Only then did Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction.Turn around and leave.

Father came to pick him up?is it possible?

Cheng Qian laughed at himself.
