Still pity the grass and trees

They lived in Furong Court for a few days, never even went out of the room, most of the time they were tired of lying on the bed, lingering on each other.

Ji Tanyin first opened the meat, Xie Wufeng eats the marrow to know the taste, and he did it without restraint.On the day of departure, Ji Tanyin pushed open the door and met Zihe girl in the corridor, her face turned red immediately, she was ashamed.Zi He looked at him pitifully and sadly, but said nothing after all.

Xie Wufeng had a cheeky face, put Ji Tanyin's shoulders, and said casually: "Miss Zihe, I heard that Ayin said that you sang a song for him that day, it was very nice, I wonder if I have a good ear?"

Zi He bowed her knees and gave a blessing, noncommittal said: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for your love."

After packing away the baggage, Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin came to the front hall of the brothel and ordered some food and drinks.Tang Rongqiu accompanied them to dinner and gave them a bag of gold and silver.

Ji Tanyin declined, but Xie Wufeng accepted it calmly, and advised Ji Tanyin: "Keep it, who knows how long her Furong Garden will be open."

Tang Rongqiu spat at him: "Hey, Wu Yazui, can't you expect me to order?"

Xie Wufeng said: "You met your beloved, closed Furongyuan and went to stay together, why didn't you wish you well?"

While they were making jokes, a screen was set up on the high platform on the second floor, and after a while, a figure came slowly and sat down behind the screen.

Two maidservants with various appearances were holding incense burners and silk handkerchiefs, standing on the left and the right, with graceful postures.

All the guests shouted loudly: "Hey, Miss Zihe is here!"

The sound of the piano sounded, and the hustle and bustle dispersed, leaving only the melody as clear as a stream reverberating in Furong Garden.Zihe has a good voice, tactful but not sharp, hoarse but not kitsch, Xie Wufeng neither hates nor likes it.She sang a few songs in a row, all of which were about parting love, lovesickness in the boudoir, babbling, Xie Wufeng felt bored, and said to Ji Tanyin: "Look, I'm singing it for you."

Ji Tanyin propped his forehead and was drowsy. He was tossed hard last night. Unexpectedly, the culprit was not only not guilty, but also had jealousy with him, which made him very depressed.

The guests joined in and applauded frequently. Zihe got up and greeted all around, then sat down again, and quickly swipe her fingertips on the strings, popping out several fierce notes in succession.

The sound of the zither changed suddenly, like a flying stream, with a powerful momentum, which was completely different from the previous soft and sad melody. After several twists and turns, the melody returned to slow, making people feel dignified.Ji Tanyin sat up straight, Xie Wufeng couldn't hide his surprise, Tang Rongqiu saw it and asked, "Does it sound good?"

Xie Wufeng didn't answer for a while, just listened to Zihe singing: "The wind is rustling, the fog is vast, the fragrance is gone, and the autumn frost is on the branches. The old man's night visits will become ghosts, and the grievances and resentments will disappear. The way is endlessly absurd. Living in Gusu, my heart desires to go to Huangliang. The sword breaks the west wind and the knife reflects the snow, and the world of mortals laughs and forgets, and exchange for a jar of good wine."

The singing and the piano sound are entangled, noisy and noisy, until the last sentence, the piano sound stops, and only the empty lingering sound surrounds the beam.

Xie Wufeng then asked: "What song, she wrote it?"

Tang Rongqiu said: "How could she write it? It's a recent folk song, and I don't know who the author is."

Ji Tanyin was still immersed in the music, and murmured: "It sounds good."

This song is indeed popular, and it is being sung all over the south and north of the country. Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin went south all the way, always accompanied by the sad and open-minded melody.

On the day of the winter solstice, they arrived at the boundary of Fuzhou Prefecture.Two days later, we arrived at a small fishing village by the sea.

The scenery here is very different from Wenling Peak. The locals like to eat seafood. Shrimp and crab are common things on the dinner table. Ji Tanyin came from the north and lived in the mountains, which is unprecedented. Extremely novel.There was a dish of drunken crab, which was the most delicious. After he tasted it, he ate it up clumsily and in an unrefined manner. He even blushed and begged Xie Wufeng if he could have another dish.

Xie Wufeng lied to him: "One tael of silver, do you want to eat?"

"It's so expensive!" Ji Tanyin smacked his lips, licking the sauce off his lips, disappointed and pitiful, "Forget it then."

Xie Wufeng laughed so hard.

Not only the diet, but also the styles of houses and climate characteristics along the coast are different from those in the Central Plains. Although it is winter here, the temperature is not low.

Ji Tanyin walked around and looked at the scenery. He was not as excited and full of fantasy as when he first left Yushan, but he still held the expectation of novelty.

Sometimes, he would talk nonsense, wondering if the master had seen it, or, the elder brother must like this.

Xie Wufeng never said much, just stayed with him, waiting for his emotions to calm down slowly.

"Where's the sea?" After entering Liangjia Village, Ji Tanyin looked around. He could smell the salty sea breeze, but he couldn't see the legendary boundless ocean.

"No hurry," Xie Wufeng got off his horse, and asked a passing fisherman at the entrance of the village about a man named "Liang Shenhong".

The man was very clever, rolled his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Young master, what do you want to transport? Master Hong is old and useless! You tell me, I will deliver it for you, the price is negotiable!"

Xie Wufeng shook his head: "You can't."

The man refused: "Hey, I don't believe it anymore, where are you going?"

"Chiwei Island," Xie Wufeng smiled slightly, "Can you go?"

"This—" the other party's arrogance was extinguished in an instant, and he raised his hand and pointed casually, "the innermost three-story building with a blue roof." , who is willing to go.

Ji Tanyin asked: "Do you know this Liang Shenhong? Who is he?"

Xie Wufeng said: "A fisherman is also a boatman. He is the only one who can travel between Chiwei Island and the land."

The waters near Chiwei Island are densely covered with hidden reefs, and the wind and waves are strong and violent. Many fishermen are unwilling to take risks. Only Liang Shenhong has been going back and forth between the two places for decades. outside" news.

Ji Tanyin praised sincerely: "He is a kind man."

Xie Wufeng was noncommittal, sighed: "He is old too."

Following the guidance of the previous man, they found Liang Shenhong's residence.Sitting cross-legged in front of the small building was a skinny boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, as agile as a monkey and vigilant as a leopard, looking at the two of them warily, and asked in local dialect: "What are you doing?"

"Xiao Liangchun," Xie Wufeng looked him up and down, speaking with a local accent, "Don't you know me?"

Liang Chun was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up from the mud and said excitedly, "Uncle Xie! You are back!"

Xie Wufeng dodged, avoided Liang Chungang's dirty hands after pinching the clay figurine, and asked, "Where's your grandpa?"

"Master!" Liang Chun shouted at the top of his voice without looking back, his bright eyes fixed on Ji Tanyin, who was about the same age as him, and he was very enthusiastic, "You are born from outside, aren't you?"

Ji Tanyin nodded. He didn't want to have a conversation with Liang Chun, but the other party kept asking, where did he come from? The sea is about to be sealed off.

Ji Tanyin was struggling to deal with it, and he didn't understand many situations, so he could only give a comprehensive answer based on his own experience.Liang Chun listened very carefully, nodding frequently, with yearning in his eyes.After asking Ji Tanyin's age, he sighed enviously, "You are only a few years older than me, and you are already wandering alone. I also want to go outside, but the elders at home will not let you!"I also complained that they insisted that I take over from Grandpa and take charge of the route to Chiwei Island, so boring...

Ji Tanyin listened to him sincerely, feeling like a time-disordered trance.He thought of himself half a year ago. At that time, on the Wenling Peak, he was also daydreaming and yearning for the outside world.

For him at that time, Liangjia Village was "outside", but for Liang Chun today, Wenling Peak is "outside".In short, they are all longing for each other's life in a distant place, and sometimes they are so addicted that they ignore the present day.

After coughing a few times, Old Man Liang walked out of the room. His eyes were clear, his movements were like the wind, his cheekbones were raised high, and his skinny cheeks were covered with spots. Although he was old, he could be called hale and hearty.

"Xie Wufeng," the old man squinted his eyes, and asked angrily, "Really?"

"It's me," Xie Wufeng asked, "Uncle Liang, has my master brought me a message?"

"There was one three months ago," Liang Shenhong called them in for tea, and reprimanded them dissatisfiedly, "You little bastard, you won't go back to see him for three or four years!"

It was the first time Ji Tanyin saw someone calling Xie Wufeng "little brat" and scolding him so blatantly, which felt very fresh.

Xie Wufeng was shameless, and replied with a smile: "My master is upset when he sees me. I know myself, so I don't bother him."

After entering the room, Liang Chun was as busy as a spinning top, running back and forth, jumping up and down in the small building. After a while, he brought out three or four plates of fruit and invited them to eat and drink.

"Uncle Xie," he asked Xie Wufeng, "How long will you stay in Chiwei Island this time?"

"I plan to stay for a long time, after all, Master is getting old." Xie Wufeng looked to Ji Tanyin for advice, only to find that he was staring at a pineapple suspiciously.

Liang Chun asked again: "Then are you married?"

Hearing the word "get married", Ji Tanyin came back to his senses, sat up straight unnaturally, and stared at Xie Wufeng as if warning.

Xie Wufeng smiled, glanced at him frivolously from the corner of the eye, and said casually: "It's done."

"Who is it? Do I know him?" Seeing Xie Wufeng nodding his head, Liang Chun counted the beautiful girls on Chiwei Island with his fingers.

Before he could figure out why, Liang Shenhong went back and forth, handed a letter folded into a square to Xie Wufeng, then turned his back and coughed violently.

Xie Wufeng took it, and cared not too gently: "Is your body okay, I still plan to cross the sea."

Liang Shenhong's old god was there: "Don't worry, I won't die."

Xie Wufeng unfolded the letter paper, saw Ji Tanyin raised his head slightly, and looked very concerned, so he turned to look at it with him.

There were only two short lines written on the yellow paper: "Unworthy apprentice Xie Wufeng, who is very sick for his teacher, will return to the west soon, and recover the corpse quickly."

After Ji Tanyin finished reading, his palms were cold, and he felt helpless.He remembered what Mr. Liang said, the letter was delivered three months ago.That is to say, if Xie Wufeng hadn't gone to Xiangyang with him and got involved in the conspiracy behind him, he should have arrived at Chiwei Islet by now and fulfilled his filial piety in front of his master's bed.

He said nervously: "It's been so long, I don't know what happened to your master..."

But Xie Wufeng folded the letter paper twice calmly and put it in his arms.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a subtle dislike in his helplessness: "You are a liar, this old man."

Ji Tanyin didn't believe it, but still looked worried, Xie Wufeng explained: "The pen is so strong, it doesn't look like a serious illness."

Ji Tanyin took out the letter, read it carefully, and was dubious.

"Don't worry, he loves to play tricks." After Xie Wufeng finished speaking, he paused for a moment, showing shame, "But I haven't gone back to see him for a long time."

"Uncle Liang," he asked Liang Shenhong, "when can I leave?"

"It depends on the sky and the momentum of the wind and waves. Not today."

"Let's rest at our house today," Liang Chun said excitedly, "tell me about the things in the north!"

Xie Wufeng thought he was noisy, so he dragged Ji Tanyin away: "Take you to see the sea!"

Following the sound of the waves and against the direction of the sea wind, they came to the mouth of the sea and saw a vast expanse of water.

It was a gloomy day, and the sea water was not the emerald green that Ji Tanyin imagined, but a dull gray blue. Pushed by the giant hand hiding in the distant skyline, wave after wave hit the protruding reef on the shore, sending out "boom, Boom, boom" muffled sound.

Xie Wufeng asked: "How is it, are you disappointed?"

Ji Tanyin shook his head, he couldn't explain how he felt in his heart, he just watched, smelled, and even squatted down to hold the waves.

Xie Wufeng pointed to the northwest, and said to Ji Tanyin: "If the weather is clear, you can see the shadow of Chiwei Islet, a small black spot."

Ji Tanyin said "hmm", and her hair danced gently in the wind.

After all, it was winter, and the sea was cold, Xie Wufeng was worried that Ji Tanyin would catch the cold, so he stopped his proposal of going into the water.

After blowing the wind for a while, they held hands and walked slowly towards Liang Shenhong's three-story building.On the way, Xie Wufeng sniffed and said, "There is good wine."

Ji Tanyin sniffed hard, but found nothing except the salty smell.

Xie Wufeng took him to shuttle between the densely packed stilted buildings, and finally found a wine shop.

Ji Tanyin teased, "Sharper than a dog's nose."

The wine cellar is not spacious, and jars of different sizes are crowdedly lined up, and the mellow aroma of wine permeates everywhere, which is also mixed with the smells of peach blossom, osmanthus, bamboo leaves, etc.As soon as I stepped in and took a breath, I was already half drunk.

Xiaoer greeted them warmly, and introduced the different varieties of fine wine in the store with eloquence.Ji Tanyin's eyes were dazzled, each of them felt good, even if he smelled them together, he couldn't tell the difference.Xie Wufeng is an expert, shuttled through the wine jars calmly, and commented: "Don't brag, these wines are either too new or too old, they are not good."

"Hi," Xiao Er beat his chest and stomped his feet, "Guest officer, if you don't like it, don't smash the signboard of our shop, our family is an ancestral handicraft!"

"I haven't finished talking yet," Xie Wufeng pointed to a jar of wine that was placed in a corner with a thin layer of ash, "It's not good, except this."

Xiaoer smiled happily, and immediately praised Xie Wufeng for his good eyesight, saying that this was brewed by the master before his death, and there was only one jar left, and it was only given to those who are destined.

Xie Wufeng smiled, didn't know if he believed it, and asked casually if the wine had a name.

"Yes, the master took it himself, and it's called Xiao Hongchen."

Xie Wufeng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Good name."

Carrying fine wine, they leisurely left the wine shop, walked for a while, Xie Wufeng paused, and looked at Ji Tanyin.

Ji Tanyin also noticed it, and frowned slightly.He had been living peacefully for a while, but he was suddenly followed, which made him both shocked and puzzled.

The two of them silently agreed and walked towards the banyan forest at the entrance of the village.The people behind followed at a distance, their breath and voice were very weak, and they were experts in the inner circle.

Beside the banyan forest, next to the stone tablet engraved with the three characters of "Liangjia Village", a carriage was parked. The decoration was low-key but exquisite, obviously not the style of the local residents.

Xie Wufeng saw no one around, turned around and said, "Come out."

A middle-aged man with gray temples appeared in the woods, wearing a brocade gown and a round cap, with two black beards curled up on his lips, and a serious smile.

Xie Wufeng was a little lost: "It's you."

The man bowed and saluted: "Young master, long time no see."

This address made Ji Tanyin vigilant: "Who are you?"

"The housekeeper of Weiyang Palace," Xie Wufeng briefly explained, staring at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"

"The master is seriously ill, and he always wanted to see you, so he sent me to look for you. If you want, you will live in the palace for a long time. No one dares to say no. The prince said that after a hundred years, things will come to you." ... It's all yours!"

Xie Wufeng sarcastically said: "Why, he finally found out that his son is an idiot who cannot be supported."

The housekeeper sighed and said: "Master, I know you have resentment. It's just that my wife's natal family was so powerful back then, and the prince had a lot of helplessness. I hope you will understand. The prince has put his heart into you. Granny Feng, who served you when you were young, She was specially invited to protect you, otherwise, who cares about her sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Let’s just say that a few months ago, the imperial court wanted you, and it was the prince who secretly dealt with it. He used Li Daitao, a death row prisoner, to keep you..."

"Is he really going to die?" Xie Wufeng asked impatiently.

"This..." The butler hesitated.

"I don't think he has a real illness or a fake illness. He is planning to commit a crime of treason."

The butler turned pale in shock, looked around and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I won't go back, you go." Xie Wufeng touched the cold Chensha sword: "If you don't go, your life will be lost."

The butler instinctively took a step back, and retorted angrily in a low voice: "Master, I didn't bully you back then!"

"Yeah," Xie Wufeng sneered, "but you didn't stop it." Tolerating evil is also a kind of evil.

The butler opened his mouth, and finally backed away silently.

Ji Tanyin asked, "Who is in the carriage?" He kept paying attention to the movement around him, and could feel that someone in the carriage was watching them, as evidenced by the slightly opened curtain.

"It's my son and daughter-in-law who just got married. The bride said that she has been favored by the young master, so she wants to see the young master."

Ji Tanyin was not happy, and asked where the daughter-in-law was from and what her name was.

The steward replied: "It's not a big family. Her deceased father was once the commander of the city guard."

"Miss Wen?" Ji Tanyin was taken aback, never expecting that fate in the world is so intricate and twists and turns.He looked at Xie Wufeng: "Then, you should go and have a few words with her."

"No need," Xie Wufeng pulled Ji Tanyin and passed by the housekeeper calmly, "Tell her that her parents have been avenged."

After walking far away, Ji Tanyin could still feel the scorching gaze from behind. "Aren't you going?" He asked curiously.

Xie Wufeng said: "The young couple just got married, so it's inappropriate for me to meet her."

Ji Tanyin resentfully said, "I thought you were afraid of me getting angry."

Xie Wufeng smiled: "There is also this reason."

Ji Tanyin felt sweet in her heart, and gossiped: "Her father is an official after all, so marrying a housekeeper's son is considered a marriage."

"Not necessarily. After all, he is the housekeeper of the palace, and he might become famous in the future. Besides, Wen Muqing has no control over her own marriage. It must have been arranged by her uncle's family."

Ji Tanyin sighed softly, and after a while, Xie Wufeng heard him say, my master is better.

After waiting for two days in Liangjia Village, they finally ushered in a good weather to go to sea.On the surface, Xie Wufeng disapproved of Master's letter, but in fact he was worried, and kept urging Liang Shenhong to set off.

"Don't be in a hurry," Liang Shenhong said, "You have to pay homage to Mazu first."

The grandpa and grandson went to the local Mazu Temple, and Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng followed to watch the fun, but were forced by Liang Shenhong to worship twice.

After eating hastily, the group packed up their bags and came to the mouth of the sea. Liang Chun quickly untied the fishing boat.Ji Tanyin saw four or five wooden boxes on the deck, the corners of which were tightly sealed with wax, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Liang Chun answered quickly: "The cloth, salt, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are sold on Chiwei Island."

Most of the teenagers in the village have left their hometowns to go to Fuzhou to make a living. He usually has no friends of the same age, so he caught Ji Tanyin talking non-stop.

"Let's go to sea!" Liang Shenhong supported the penny, and the boat jumped lightly and slid away from the pier.

Ji Tanyin couldn't help whispering, the feeling under her feet was very subtle, as if she was stepping on a swing swinging in the summer wind.He sat down hastily, and clung tightly to the sides of the ship.

The fishing boat is very narrow, Liang Shenhong and Liang Chun are at the bow and stern respectively oars, while Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin are accompanied by wooden boxes, squeezed in the boat.

Facing the gentle sea breeze and the bright sun, the fishing boat is like an arrow off the string, cutting through the blue blue waves and rushing to the distant sea level.

After Ji Tanyin got used to it for a while, the feeling of dizziness gradually subsided, so she stretched her hand into the cool sea water.The white waves kissed his fingertips, refracting brilliance in the sun, and then fell, shattered, and melted into the deep sea.

"What are you thinking?" Xie Wufeng asked.

At this time, they were completely surrounded by the sea, and all they could see was the sparkling water surface, and Liang Chun's high-pitched singing went straight to the sky.

Ji Tanyin said: "Master, senior brother... There are a lot of people."

Xie Wufeng Zhiyi looked at him, the corners of his lips curled up: "Is there me?"

Before Ji Tanyin could answer, the fishing boat brushed against a rock and bumped a bit.He lost his balance and bumped into Xie Wufeng.

"Isn't it pressing you down?"

Xie Wufeng straightened his hips slightly, and asked meaningfully: "Where is the pressure?"

Ji Tanyin hurriedly moved away, giving him a secret look.

The day's sailing was very smooth.Around Shen time, there was fog on the sea, and the outline of a small island was faintly revealed.

Xie Wufeng pointed it to Ji Tanyin: "That is Chiwei Islet."

Ji Tanyin looked around in surprise and excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Are you there?"

"arrive."

For some reason, he suddenly felt agitated, and couldn't help but hook his little finger to Xie Wufeng's hand, and was quickly held tightly by the opponent.

The two intertwined their fingers, looking at the shadow of Chiwei Islet with mixed feelings.

Ji Tanyin sighed suddenly: "The world is so big."

He has gone too far.This road is nearly a thousand miles away, with lush jade mountains and magnificent oceans. From north to south, the world is eternal and lonely.He felt his insignificance, but he wasn't sad, because in this bizarre world, there was another person walking side by side with him, looking at the mountains and rivers together.

As if to welcome them, the music of suona sounded from behind the mist.Liang Chun competed with each other, singing more cheerfully and vigorously, and the speed of the fishing boat also accelerated.

Ji Tanyin gazed intently——where there is a vast mist, there is a new life.

(Finish)
