It took Shen Huaixiu a long time to finish the injection, the housekeeper wanted to save some food, because she has a cleanliness habit and is not used to eating out, so she declined.Since the master invited her to come, they knew her temperament and nature very well, and they dared not force her to stay, they decided to come back to give acupuncture at this time tomorrow, Shen Huaixiu took her two servants and left.

But he didn't rush to the city, only to Shilipo.Mencius Ying made an appointment with Sun Jiren last night. After the meeting, they met at Shilipo and returned to Dongping together.On the way, Shen Huaixiu only heard Shen Huaixiu calling him in the carriage, so he closed the curtain so that he could not get in the carriage with her. Seeing that it was still early in the day, he took Bai Zhu's whip and sat on the carriage frame to slowly drive the carriage away.

Meng Ziying listened to her and said: "You have been outside all these years, but you have not lost your medical skills. You are just the first person, and you are obviously not perfect. Why do you still say that she is a virgin?"

Meng Ziying replied: "The furnishings in that room are the boudoir of an unmarried daughter, and the embroidered shoes worn by girls are placed on the front of the bed. Everyone has many rules, and there is no need to point out the secrets of the inner curtains to attract people's hatred."

Shen Huaixiu looked at his back, unknowingly lost her mind.The Shen family has been married to the Meng family for generations. When she was a girl, she often went to play in the Meng mansion. She almost watched Ziying grow up, but it was not long before she actually married into the Meng family. At that time, Ziying's mother had just passed away. Has gone away in anger.The Meng family is a family of Zhongming Dingshi, and there are many heirs. Mengye alone has twelve concubines and eighteen sons.Mencius once joked in the past that there are so many brothers and sisters that they can’t remember their names. Most of the cute ones are not trustworthy, and the trustworthy ones are not cute. Only Mencius is treated differently from others.However, in six or seven years, the brothers turned against each other and abandoned their homes to travel far away. There must be stories in it.During the day, she saw Mencius Ying's quietness and reticence, and she didn't look at her with worry or joy. Compared with the tender and pretentious appearance of the Houmen young man who was young, he looked like a jade, and he was worried for a while. .

Shen Huaixiu wanted to chat with him about family affairs, but he heard him ask: "Sister-in-law's visit to Yongjing this time, isn't it as simple as seeing a doctor?"

Shen Huaixiu frowned, and said, "What did you hear, or what do you want to know?"

Ziying drove the car with her back straight, and said: "I heard a few gossips in Duan's residence, saying that Xianbei wants to exchange Xiangyang for Youyun Erzhou, is there such a thing?"

Shen Huaixiu's eyes flickered, and he scolded: "How do I know about such important family and country affairs, and where did you hear about it, don't go out and talk nonsense."

Xiangyang is an important place, known as the waist of the world. It connects the Central Plains in the north, Bashu in the west, Huguang in the south, and Jiangnan in the east.In the ninth year of Chongming, it fell into the hands of the Hu people. For five years, Wang Shi looked north every year, but he could not cross the north bank of the Han River.

After Northern Yan and Xianbei captured Xiangyang, they had no intention of going south, and people wanted to return, and Rongdi was good at plundering and not good at management. Yun Erzhou, lost this hot potato.

Not far from Xiangyang along the Han River is Jingzhou City. If Jingzhou is the throat of Shouchuan, the second city of Xiangfan is a well-deserved highlight.Five years ago, Mencius looked forward to Xiangyang but did not save it. Tired Ziying's master Lei Zhen died in battle in the city. Five years later, thanks to the fact that Xiangyang was still in the hands of Di Rongdi, otherwise, how could Mencius have sent troops from Xichuan to attack Jing and Qing?

Shen Huaixiu came to Beijing this time to contact the officials of Tongshu, secretly sabotage the deal between Beiyan and Xia Dynasty, and prevent Xiangyang from returning to the embrace of the court, but Ziying could not know about this.

Meng Ziying's chest was full of sorrows, and she could already smell the smell of Huatou, and said unhurriedly: "If it's true, Xiangyang will change hands, will the Meng family and the court fight again?"

"Ziying", Shen Huaixiu said displeased: "I don't like to hear what you say, you are also from the Meng family, and you can't write two Meng characters in one stroke."

Meng Ziying smiled and said nothing more.

The two were pregnant with ghosts, restless, and did not remember what they said on the way, and they arrived at Shilipo not long after.Looking from a distance, one person and two horses have been waiting for a long time by the long pavilion on Gaogang.

After Meng Ziying and Sun Jiren met, Shen Huaixiu was about to return to Yongjing. At this time, the men who supported Zhu Sha got out of the car, and saw yellow flowers all over the ground, and white willows on the slopes. Unaware of the strong westerly wind, after the first stop Yingying, there were more gnats Voice.

The two looked to the southeast from a distance, and the sparse forest was picturesque. Mencius Ying said: "Sister-in-law, there is always a feast that will come to an end in this world. Let's say goodbye here. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there will be a period later." Thinking of the old years when I lived in Jinguan City for a short time, the way the child would hold his clothes and refuse to let him go, he was so pitiful and cute that he couldn't help crying.

Shen Huaixiu said: "Let's sit in the pavilion and I have something to say to you."

Zhu Sha had already set up the teapot and teacup on the stone table in the pavilion. Shen Huaixiu personally took an empty teacup and poured tea into it. When the cup was full, she kept pouring it for some reason. Mencius slapped her head and said: " When my sister-in-law was talking about Zen, Ziying suddenly had an epiphany. An overflowing teacup can’t hold anything, and only by emptying my heart can I accept it again.”

Shen Huaixiu was taken aback for a moment, then withdrew his hands and said, "Fart, I just want to say that this bitter water will never be poured out."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Cinnabar Atractylodes outside the pavilion, and Sun Jiren didn't know what it meant.

So the sorrow of parting gradually faded away, and Shen Huaixiu said: "You and your brother were originally very close, why did you get into an awkward situation? You have been away these years, your brother doesn't think about food and drink, and gradually lost weight. I wanted to hide my strength for a few more days In [-], the lord could not stand the slander, and persecuted him day and night, so he had no choice but to kill Pei Xiu and resign from the court. You also know your brothers, a bunch of rich dudes, and it is difficult to pick out an outstanding one. I call you back and lean on it as your arm , the two brothers conquered the world together. Now he has to carry the heavy burden alone, why don't you understand your brother's heart at all?"

She has never been clear that Ziying did not travel far away on her own initiative, but was exiled by the Meng family.Ziying also didn't care whether Meng Ye had regretted calling him back this time or whether it was Meng Ziyou who made his own claim.

Zhu Sha came over with a sandalwood box, Shen Huaixiu took it and said: "Before you left, your brother gave it to me, and said that if he met you, he would transfer it to you. He was supposed to take it by a boat, and he left in a hurry."

Mencius shook her head, but didn't answer.

Seeing that the mistress was so sad that she couldn't speak, Zhu Sha whispered, "Young Master Ninth, at least open it and have a look, it's not in vain for my uncle."

Meng Ziying removed the seal on the box and took out a pure white jade bone fan, which was his brother's favorite plaything. When he opened it, there were four large characters "Gentlemen don't cry" engraved on the fan.

It turns out that he is not the only one who still remembers the events of his childhood, he touches the characters with his fingers, recalls the present and reminisces about the past, it makes people heartbroken, hates to the bone marrow, loves to the bone marrow.

As soon as Shen Huaixiu saw the handwriting, he knew that Mencius had done it himself. Thinking of the plaque in front of the hall, he guessed that there must be a deep meaning, so he didn't say much.

Mencius slammed the fan shut, put it back in place, and said, "Ziying has seen it, please trouble sister-in-law."

Shen Huaixiu knew that he could not force him, and watched helplessly as the two of them leaped off the high hill on two horses, and headed east along the clear and turbulent stream.

Zhu Sha asked in a low voice: "Will the ninth son come back?"

Shen Huaixiu said indifferently: "No matter how big the world is, there will be times when we meet. If we bump into a wall, we will naturally come back. Even if we kill lotus and leaves, we can't help breaking the roots."

Ziying was thinking about the news she had heard in Duan's house, so she hurried all the way, and when she was about to change horses at a post station on the boundary of Yangzhou, she saw a horse flying over the road.Sun Jiren's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that it was a son of the Sun family from Linxi. He called out to him, but the man and the horse had already passed them, and they reined in and turned back.It turned out that he was sent by Sun Shuye to meet Meng Ziying and Sun Jiren.

The matter is exactly as Ziying heard. At the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are a series of ten or twenty islands of various sizes, distributed along the coastline. The largest one used to be called Chenjiadao. The state became the seat of the state, under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and the specific location was on the sea between Fuyang County and Dongping County.This Yingzhou riot is not different from the previous riots in Fuyang and Linxi, and it was always caused by increasing taxes.The difference is that Fuyang and Linxi are mainly engaged in farming. Yingzhou is located on the sea, and the seaborne trade is extremely developed. There are many Chinese and foreign merchants. It is one of the few ports allowed by the imperial court to allow free trade.

The imperial court ordered Fuyang County and Dongping County to send 6000 troops each to clean up the chaos in Yingzhou. Fu Xi gave him [-] soldiers because of the last time Bai Yansheng swayed the enemy. The seashore at the junction of Fufu and Dongfang is waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the sea and wind to recover Yingzhou.

Ziying and her party went to a small fishing village on the coast of the East China Sea. It was dusk and the tide was coming.Sun Shuye came out of a larger fisherman's house and saw two people exchanging greetings.Ziying looked left and right, but there was no sound of white geese. When she asked, she knew that she had led the troops out to sea in the morning.

Seeing the remorse on his face, Sun Jiren comforted him softly: "The tide is out, we'll just find another boat to catch up."

Sun Shuye looked at the two of them from the side, smiling and saying nothing.

The three of them entered the fisherman's house, and suddenly their eyes lit up. It turned out that this place had already been changed into a place for marching formations.In the room, there were several tables, some oil lamps, and a map of the sea. Sun Shuye was studying and surveying.

Meng Ziying stood by the table, found Chen Jiadao, pointed to Yilian and asked, "Where are the troops in Fuyang County? Has the war started today? How is the battle going? Why haven't you returned yet?"

Sun Shuye said: "There are 4000 troops in Fuyang County. They are in a nearby fishing village. They have not been assembled in a hurry."

Mencius raised her eyebrows: "Ask Big Brother Bai to fight Yingzhou alone? It's a good idea."

Sun Shuye shook his head and said, "Master Bai has to go to Chen Family Island."

Meng Ziying was taken aback for a moment, seeing Sun Shuye pointing to a place on the map of the sea, he said with a smile in his eyes: "Although the swimming fish has the intention of entering the cauldron, it cannot go ashore without a hook. Once it is hooked, it will not be able to go if it wants to go."

It was quiet in the middle of the night. After all, at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, Sun Jiren woke up to urinate in the middle of the night, and soon his hands and feet became cold.He grew up in the mountains, and although he has seen the sea, this is the first time he has lived by the sea. He is not used to the noise of the tide, and the smell of the salty sea water. He was about to go back to the hut and continue to sleep, when suddenly he saw the moonlight shining on a place by the sea. On the reef, there is a man sitting on a rock.

He went over the water and saw Meng Ziying sitting with her knees hugged facing the sea, her clothes were flapping in the sea breeze, and unconsciously said, "Brother Meng, aren't you cold so late?"

Meng Ziying had also heard someone coming, so she didn't bother to respond, but unexpectedly, Sun Jiren also climbed onto the rock in a short while.

The vast sea was pitch black, and only the place where the moonlight shone could barely see some undercurrents. Sun Jiren didn't know how long he sat there, and it was so beautiful.Fang wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he heard him whispering: "Haike talks about Yingzhou, the mist is faint, and letters are hard to find."

Sun Jiren said: "Brother Meng, don't worry, as long as Lord Bai's plan to lure the enemy succeeds, Chen Family Island will be captured soon."

Meng Ziying said "hmm" for a while, but she didn't say anything. I don't know how long the two of them sat withered. Suddenly, they saw a ray of red light appearing at the place where the sea and sky meet in the east, and the moon gradually dimmed in the west.Meng Ziying stood up suddenly and looked towards the east. Sun Jiren almost fell off the reef in shock. Several small boats could be vaguely seen rowing towards the shore on the sea.

In November of the 14th year of Chongming, Bai Yansheng and the belated defender Guo Huaizuo of Fuyang County jointly captured Chenjiadao where the prefecture of Yingzhou was located.

The territory of Chenjiadao is not big, with a radius of only a dozen miles. However, although the sparrow is small and complete, you can see the island is lush and green when you are on the sea boat, with white walls and black tiles. Layers of Futu Pagoda stand tall, layers of iron horses clang, and seabirds soar.

Meng Ziying and Bai Yansheng landed on the island at the same time. Some people had come to report the situation of the battle. They heard that the prefect's mansion was Zhu Rong, and a group of people were busy fighting the fire.The two looked at each other, regardless of Guo Huaizuo of Fuyang County who had not landed yet, they rode their horses to the Sheriff's Mansion.The fire was raging, and Sun Jiren and several big men were desperately pouring water on it. Meng Ziying shouted from the horseback: "Save the book first."

A group of people were in a hurry, and Bai Yansheng, seeing that the fire was almost over, advised them to let go. Only Ziying did not give up, and was still looking for his account book and household registration book.

Bai Yansheng looked funny, but suddenly heard someone come to report that soldiers harassed women from good families.His face darkened, he didn't pay attention to talking to Ziying, and rode his horse to the market.But seeing the old street behind Yingzhou County Guard's Mansion, there are many houses on both sides, shops in front of every house and squares in the back, and notice signs are everywhere, one can imagine the bustling scene on weekdays.But at this time, the doors of every house are closed, and the traces of fighting in the street can be seen. Two groups of people gathered at the well in the middle street, shouting at each other. A woman with loose hair and crying is lying on the bluestone board, but she is not the costume of the Xia Dynasty.

Bai Yansheng's heart tightened, and he hurried forward on his horse.Before he came to Yingzhou, he set up a rule for the army, saying that Yingzhou is located on the main sea trade route, with Chinese and foreign business travelers gathering together, and there are a lot of foreigners. On the island, if one is not careful, it will damage the prestige of the country and disrupt diplomatic relations. Therefore, military discipline is strictly enforced, and there will be no offense in the autumn.But he can control his subordinates, but he can't control Guo Huaizuo's people.As a result, the two counties confronted each other.

Just as they were clamoring, they suddenly heard the clattering of horseshoes on the street. A horse was running toward him with its eyes shining at night on the bluestone slab. There was a tall man on the horse, wearing a lotus-colored war robe. When he got close, he turned over and got off the horse. His movements were vigorous and lively. , everyone cheered in their hearts.

The Linxi soldiers had been training under him for a year, and they were very familiar with them. When they saw the coach coming, they retreated one after another to give way.The soldiers of Fuyang saw a young general with thick eyebrows and big eyes coming up, suave and suave, and said in a full-fledged manner: "What disturbs you?"

Among the Linxi soldiers came a Fuyang soldier with a bad head and a bloody head, and everyone said: "This man does not obey military discipline, rapes women, and we will catch him right away."

The Fuyang soldiers were in an uproar immediately.There were also those who complained, some who refused to admit it to death, and some who uttered insults and harsh words.

Bai Yansheng walked up and helped the woman on the ground up first, and asked: "Did he bully you?"

The woman's complexion was slightly dark, her face was full of tears, she nodded in agreement.

Bai Yansheng said to the Fuyang soldiers on the ground: "You must be there when you leave to take the oath, General Guo said that you are not allowed to harass the people, why didn't you listen?"

The man had already been beaten until his head was full of bruises, and he argued forcefully: "She is a foreign woman, she came out to sell, she is a barbarian, she is not among the good people."

Fuyang soldiers followed him.

The white geese let out a long howl, and the murderous intent suddenly struck, suppressing the noise of the crowd, and said loudly: "I don't care about what's going on, she was raised by her parents, and she has always been law-abiding. There are also people in Han Ye's family who are waiting for her to go back and live a happy life." You are upright and upright, how can you allow others to bully you. Leave now, I will bring this person to General Guo to deal with."

Seeing that he was going to take people away, the soldiers of Fuyang could not give up. They were about to charge forward when they suddenly saw him draw his sword out of its sheath and slash at the well. There was a loud noise, and the big stone slab at the mouth of the well was cut by his sword. broken.

"Who doesn't obey the military order, there is such a stone."

It's impossible to see that he is young and a man like a son, but he actually has such a powerful method.Fuyang Bing was terrified when he saw it, and he glanced at him with piercing eyes, almost a hole was poked in his body, so he had to swallow his anger and scatter away, and someone went to report to Guo Huaizuo, no problem.

Bai Yansheng ordered the Linxi soldiers to escort the girl back, but she knelt down on her knees, holding Bai Yansheng's powder-soled soap boots, and begged on her back in fluent Chinese: "General, I have some sisters who have escaped and are afraid of being retaliated. Please, General Good people and good deeds to the end, save them." He said and pointed in the direction of Futu Pagoda.

The sound of white geese led people to rush outside the pagoda, and in the distance, they could only see obscenity and swearing. There were seven or eight soldiers on the field and under the pagoda doing the tiger-wolf thing. superior.

"Bodhisattva, what a crime this is." A soldier beside him couldn't bear it.

Without waiting for his order, his subordinates had already rushed forward to stop the evil deeds. He looked around, and suddenly a man's screams came from his ears.

Stepping quickly into the pagoda gate, I saw a Fuyang soldier lying on the ground, covering his face with his hands, bloodstained, rolling all over the ground in pain, while a woman in disheveled clothes was shivering tremblingly.Bai Yansheng asked: "Did you do it?"

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she repeatedly shouted: "It's not me, it's not me."

Just at this moment, with a sound of "咻", one object hit the forehead of the Fuyang soldier on the ground, and the man stopped after struggling for a few times, and blood flowed from his forehead, staining the lotus floor tiles in the hall red.

Bai Yansheng looked up, the hall was dimly lit, and there were countless clay and wooden Buddha statues standing around. A foreign boy was lying on top of a Jialan Bodhisattva in the middle, lying peacefully, holding a slingshot in one hand and a few Buddha statues in the other. Play with colored glaze beads.

Drums at dusk and bells at morning, cigarettes lingering around, Dharma looks solemn, Da Jialan is wearing a veiled celestial gown, with a high bun, casting his benevolent eyes on the center of the hall, in this peaceful pure land world, this young man has no scruples to stain the hall with blood .

Bai Yansheng frowned and said, "Why did you attack someone?"

The young man looked up at him, sitting upright, with his bare feet hanging over the Bodhisattva's forehead, he was still playing with the marbles, and said in a Beidi accent: "Shouldn't he die? I slept soundly All right. That sister screamed too badly."

Seeing that he was not very old, Bai Yansheng asked, "What's your name? Why are you here?"

The young man said: "Ah Rong. I was sold from the sea to work here a month ago."

Bai Yan said: "Which one is it, is it the one of Ku Rong, or is it?" He choked up, wanting to say that it was still the one of Yan Rong.

Who would have thought that young man said coldly, "It's Rong Di's Rong."

Double Ninth Festival

Before the Yuan Emperor crossed south, there were several prominent aborigine gentry families in Yizhou County between Bashu and Sichuan. They were called Meng, Shen, Lei and Xue at that time.The four families are connected and related to each other, supporting and taking care of each other.At the end of summer and early autumn of this year, the eldest son of the Meng family ordered the vacancy of the local sheriff, and the village was shaken. Relatives from four families, together with prominent people in Yizhou city, rushed to congratulate him.

It was near the Chongyang Festival, and the Meng family was full of flowers. There was a cold pond in the southwest corner of the backyard, with ten thousand poles of residual lotus, and several pavilions facing the water.Looking in through the sky-blue soft smoke covering the rear window, there is a bed in the middle, with silver and red gauze curtains hanging, sitting beside the bed is a girl in goose-yellow homely clothes, about fifteen years old. six years old.Lying on the bed was a young woman, with beads of sweat rolling all over her forehead, her face was like gold paper, and her abdomen was protruding high.

The girl held the hand of the mistress, and said calmly: "Madam, please bear with me, Wen Po will come later, just now I have asked Ling'er to go back to Da Furen." The woman nodded slightly, the pain was severe He didn't see her yelling anymore, and he just clenched his teeth tightly.

After half an hour like this, the sky was getting darker and darker. As soon as the evening wind passed, the sound of autumn and rain came through the window. In the wind, sheng reeds played intermittently, and laughter filled the ears. It was after the Double Ninth Festival to worship the ancestors.The master and servant heard from a distance that it was desolate and desolate, and they were very anxious.

The woman said in a vain way: "People in Chongyang have a lot of things to do today, so they probably can't take care of us, Bi Yuan, go and boil some hot water, and prepare some scissors and cloth, just in case."

The girl responded, and went to the porch to fetch water to make a fire. When the water was boiled, there was the sound of rain, the surface of the pool was wrinkled and green, and the cold wind invaded the flesh. By the pond, there was an acre of Xiangfei bamboo and phoenix tails, and the dragon chanted softly.When the water boiled, I picked up the good things, but I still didn't see the little girl Ling'er coming back.

Biyuan went back to the bedroom and sat by the bed talking to the mistress.The woman had been in pain for a long time, and the color on her face had long since faded away, only her eyes were half-opened and her eyes half-opened, she agreed.Bi Yuan was worrying, when she suddenly heard someone calling her under the window.She walked to the window and saw that it was the little girl Ling'er, holding back the fire and tiptoed out of the room, dragged her to the bamboo forest in the backyard, pointed her hard on the forehead and said, "My dear mother, where are you going to play?" I'm waiting for your help now."

The little girl was only eight or nine years old, so she poked her body tremblingly, and said timidly: "The eldest lady is so busy surrounding the old man and the old lady, I waited there for half a day without saying a word, just talking to the old lady." Elder sister Yinqiao beside the madam said, Yinqiao said how could it be so fast, and told the madam to be patient, and when she was free, she would go back to the eldest madam and ask the old lady to come. I was afraid that my sister would miss it, so I came back first."

Biyuan's heart turned cold when she heard her talk halfway, and she cursed secretly, "I'm so confused, I'm a snobbish and snobbish person. After all, I'm a princely daughter, well-educated, and cheated others of their dowry." , the land was robbed, so I don’t care about it. Let her give birth to a son and turn the world of your Meng family upside down." After Ling'er finished speaking, she hurriedly asked: "You stayed there for so long, why did you give birth to Yin? Has this sentence been passed on? Did you see anyone else at the table?"

Ling'er didn't know who she wanted to talk about, so she just lowered her head and said: "I just glanced at the door twice, and Yinqiao said that she was not allowed to go out to shame, and dragged me to the back kitchen. I'm so busy, who cares now About our house."

Biyuan's eyes were red with hatred, and she wanted to hit her again, but she felt pitiful, so she pushed her and said, "Go and see Madam, I'll go ahead and have a look." As she spoke, she brought a big bamboo hat and a glazed tile Fengdeng, braved the rain and walked towards Guoyun Tower.Only half a mile out of Furong Pavilion, an old lady who was soaked with a torch came to meet her. She stopped and asked her: "Is it Miss Biyuan? Where are you going? Miss Lv'e said that she saw Ling'er from Furong Pavilion just now. Probe there, tell me to hurry over and ask Mrs. Qing He what's the matter."

Bi Yuan repeatedly called out to Amitabha, quickly took off the straw hat on her head and stuck her on her head, and dragged her back.Hurrying back to the Furong Pavilion, she called Ling'er to give Mama Li a sweat towel to wipe her face. Mama Li wiped it twice indiscriminately. , turned back and said in a serious voice: "How long has the amniotic fluid broken? Why did you delay until now?"

How did Biyuan and Ling'er know this, they stood on the ground and were speechless, but the woman slightly opened her eyelids and said: "It's only a quarter of an hour, Mom, thank you, just do your best and obey the destiny."

Mother Li said: "Fortunately, I was in a hurry and everything was at hand. Ma'am, don't look at me as an old-faced and sloppy face. Since I was young, I have delivered forty or fifty babies with my hands. You listen to me, and you are welcome." Mother and child are safe."

She spoke lightly, but it was windy and rainy that night, and she was extremely terrified. It was around the end of the fourth watch that she heard a cry, and a chubby baby boy came down.After hearing this, the woman finally shed tears.Biyuan came out to splash water, and suddenly saw a man and a woman standing by the bamboo grove. The woman held a lamp in one hand and an umbrella in the other. It was Lue, the girl in the big room. He looked like three or four years old, and was not tall enough. When he saw her coming out, he turned and walked towards the path in the bamboo forest.Lu'e held an umbrella and hurriedly followed, and the two disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

In the Chongyang Festival of the 14th year of Chongming, in front of Guoyun Tower in Yizhou Wangfu, a new three-story stage was built, with inner and outer corridors and eaves.After King Meng Ye of Shu visited his old mother, he took his sons and grandchildren to the front yard to greet the guests, and only the female relatives were here to listen to the opera and have fun.

But there are two couplets hanging on the carved railings and jade in front of the hall: the sun and the moon are shining brightly in meritorious deeds, and the success and fame are endless and descendants.In the middle, there is a red sandalwood couch with eight treasures and mother-of-pearl, on which Meng Mu, who is over [-] years old, is tilted. Dozens of carved lacquer chairs sit on the two sides of the lower head.On the opposite side, each of the three floors sang their own songs, and for a while, a group of demons danced wildly. After you sing, I will appear on the stage.

Sitting alone in the powder pile was a thirty-year-old pregnant woman, wearing a Cuiyu cloak, whispering to the little girl next to her, "Go back to Xiyue who is beside your wife, and tell me I'm not feeling well, so go back to your room first."

The little girl passed by from behind and told Xiyue, and Xiyue told Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Let her go back and have a good life."

During the conversation, Mrs. Lei Taijun, Meng's mother, saw it. Because she asked what was the matter, Mrs. Shen came back, and Mrs. Lei immediately said: "Hurry up, this mess is noisy with a group of brats, don't make a fuss. Your long-term blood is also weak. It's a little bit, why doesn't Huaixiu, who is so iconic, have children?"

Mrs. Shen couldn't answer either, she just stood and laughed, and there were a few old wives sitting beside Meng's mother, their ears were deaf, so after hearing a few words, she interjected, "Is it Huaixiu's daughter-in-law who left?"

Xiyue hurriedly said: "No, that's Biyuan, the eldest son's concubine. The eldest son and his wife are guarding the city in Jingzhou." Afraid she would ask again, she led her to the theater again.

At the end of the song, someone came to report that the eldest son Xingye came back on horseback and was meeting guests in the front hall, and he would come to pay his respects later.Mother Meng was so happy that she was like a child, pointing to the stage and shouting "reward" again and again. Someone had already squatted under the stage, carrying a few big baskets, and as soon as the order was issued, they worked together to sprinkle copper coins on the stage, and the stage was full of money. Sound, everyone is happy.

Besides, Biyuan left the Guoyun Tower, but did not return to her residence. She walked all the way to the end of a bamboo forest. There were a few pavilions on the grass, which had been abandoned for a long time and no one repaired them.Just at this time, there was a little black rain in the sky, and the little girl wondered: "What's so interesting about this dilapidated house? Madam, be careful, the dew is heavy, and the grass is slippery."

Biyuan walked and said: "What kind of world have you seen, dare you say whether it is beautiful or not. There used to be a pond here. There were a few white cranes in the pond, and hibiscus flowers in a pond. The flowers are blooming like brocades. There is no such thing in the whole mansion. Such a beautiful view."
