fluttering night wind

It was like a bolt from the blue, even Bai Yansheng shook his body, unbearable, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, where is the evidence?" He died of many deaths, and there was nothing related to his mother in the family to place his grief on, so he regarded his concubine as his biological mother since he was a child.Now I suddenly heard that my biological mother is here and has an affair with a barbarian. As a child, I can't accept it.

Murong De narrowed his eyes, with a stern face, and said with a sneer, "I said this is your biological mother, but you still ask me for evidence, what a filial son and virtuous grandson."

Bai Yan's voice was silent.

On the contrary, Xiao Yu reacted more violently.He opened his eyes wide, and he didn't know whether it was more joy or disappointment. He thought he was destined, but he was just a brother, a father and son.Suddenly he touched the ground with his toes, flew onto the green horse, pulled the reins and galloped northward.

"A Rong!" Bai Yansheng subconsciously chased after a few steps, but heard Murong De say: "Let him go, this child is spoiled by me, he should reflect on himself."

Bai Yansheng turned to him, saw Murong De walking a few steps towards the grave, and said: "You first kowtow to your mother." At this moment, he was no longer allowed to question, Bai Yansheng had no choice but to go up, kneel on the grave, thud I knocked my head three times, and when I got up, I looked around inadvertently, and found that there were raised mounds everywhere, yellow dust and broken bones, far away graves and tunnels, where the soul lived, where is the pool, whose family is romantic?

He finally asked a doubt in his heart, "When the elders were alive, they told me that my concubine's surname was Nie, and she was from Daijun in Youzhou. Your Majesty said that this is my mother, the aunt of Li Wenbo's family in Yongjing City, and me. What's going on with your stepmother?"

Murong De looked up at the gray sky, and began to speak word by word from a more distant era:

The Xianbei people are all descendants of the great hero Tan Shihuai. Like other grassland heroes, he built a huge Xianbei empire in just a few years.But when I was born, due to frequent snowstorms and droughts, there were fierce battles among grassland tribes.When I was eleven or twelve years old, the Murong family lost the battle with the Xianbei Duanbu and Yuwenbu for the Hulun Lake grassland, and retreated to the vast forest.Because I was injured so badly, my tribe thought I was going to die soon, so I was abandoned on the shore of Hulun Lake.A caravan passing by to trade on the sandbar just happened to save my life.The old man who led the team, surnamed Hu, was a wealthy landowner in the north. Although he was over forty years old, he still liked to do everything by himself.He has an only daughter who is the same age as me. Because he loves her too much, he can't bear to leave her at home, and he also travels with the caravan to enjoy the family happiness.Because of the lack of companions for the journey, this girl quickly became friends with me.When we came back from bartering on the sandbar, we were connected and became a pair of lovers.When passing by the shore of Hulun Lake, there was no trace of the clansmen. Mr. Hu saw that I was good, so he invited me to stay at his home and take care of the courtyard.I followed them to the Hujiawu Fort here.

Miss Hu, Xinlan treated me very well. We studied together, practiced calligraphy, ran horses, and played games. Four or five years passed quickly, and I gradually learned to appreciate the culture of the Han people and adapted to the settled life.But when I was trading with barbarians on the border, I met my clansmen and learned that my father was dead and my elder brother was the patriarch, who was planning revenge against Duanbu and Yuwenbu. I was eager to return to serve the clan.

I was hesitating, but at this time Xinlan had reached the age of marriage, Mr. Hu had found for her the favorite general of General Youzhou, marrying the chief of this place is something ordinary rich and noble people can only dream of, not to mention the general surnamed Bai's appearance Tangtang said that the future is boundless.But Xinlan was very unhappy and always opposed this marriage.She wanted me to take her away from Fort Hujiawu, and she even said that she was willing to live a poor life where the Hu people lived outside the Great Wall.

At that time, I was young and energetic, and as soon as my blood surged, I took Xinlan to run away late at night. Boss Hu was furious and begged Youzhou to send troops to capture people.We didn't escape very far when we were stopped by your father.

When he said this, his face darkened, his eyes lingered on Bai Yansheng's face, as if he was looking for traces of Bai Heng, he paused for a while and then continued:

Mr. Hu originally wanted to kill me, but he couldn't bear Xinlan's pleading, so he let me go in the end.I fled back to the grassland and found my tribe. I had no choice but to focus on the great cause of restoring the country wholeheartedly.But after this incident, the reputation of the Hu family plummeted, and General Youzhou moved to replace the general with the idea of ​​retiring the marriage.Mr. Hu bribed and begged again, and finally thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.It was only said that Xinlan passed away due to illness, but in fact she was asked to recognize a family named Nie as a goddaughter, and then married her to your father.Your stepmother was the dowry girl of the Hu family, and your aunt was the real daughter surnamed Nie, who later married Li Wenbo. She didn't know the inside story at the time.

Bai Yansheng's heart was surging, and it was beyond words. Where is such a muddled marriage? Murong De knew what he was thinking, and continued:

I know you are upset and feel that your father has been wronged too much, but Mrs. Hu loves her daughter very much, and has also subsidized the Bai family a lot. Your family's current land in Yongcheng was bought with your mother's dowry.

Bai Yansheng was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a moment.It turns out that the essence of any marriage is nothing more than a transaction.

Murong De glanced at him, then continued:

Just after your mother married your father, some traitors framed Mr. Hu, accused him of treason and defection to the enemy, and were stalking, of course, they also mentioned a few things about me.In the Southern Dynasties, the foolish monarchs did not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and sent the Hu family to death. Your mother escaped because of her surname Nie.But the guard in Youzhou knew about this, and he was afraid that your mother would be reported by others if he ran away, or that someone would reveal the inside story of taking bribes if your mother was captured, or that he wanted to leave a root for the Hu family on a whim, so he hurriedly ordered Your father took your mother back to her hometown and was never allowed to return to Youzhou.Your mother was pregnant with your siblings at the time, and gave birth to you on the way to Zhongzhou.Unexpectedly, she would suffer from psychosis after giving birth, and escaped from her family on the way.Your father searched for more than ten days to no avail, so he had to take your brother and sister back to Yongcheng first.Your mother was not clear at the time, but she still knew the way home, turned north all the way, and returned to Youzhou again.When she returned to this place, there were many graves, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were broken, and she really couldn't find her way home anymore.

At that time, I had already helped my elder brother defeat Duanbu and Yuwenbu, and unified the Xianbei tribe. My elder brother became a profuse sweat, and I also held a heavy army.Once hunting near Hujiawu Fort, I thought about revisiting the old place and seeing your grandfather and mother by the way, but I found that everything was different.I was terrified at the time, and immediately ordered people to search around. I was relieved to hear that your mother had returned to Yongcheng with your father, but at this moment, I found Xinlan who was begging along the street in Youzhou. .

He could still see the heartbreaking pain in his eyes, and Bai Yansheng instantly felt that this barbarian's affection for his mother might be deeper than his father.Just listen to him sighing heavily:

Of course I will take her back at all costs, but for some reason, Xinlan is unwilling to leave with me.After I comforted her in every possible way, I had no choice but to forcefully take her away.After this encounter, her temperament changed drastically and she ignored me.I also married a wife earlier, and there is always something I can't take care of for her.She may have been ostracized by her clansmen. After giving birth to A Rong, she had another attack of psychiatry, and once she strangled A Rong's neck.At that time, the clan was attacked by the remnants of the Donghu tribe and had to move the pasture. I sent her to a nunnery in Youzhou City and asked a familiar teacher to take care of her.When the tribe settled down and I came back, she had already recovered, but she never wanted to see me again.

He paused at this point, looked at the direction Xiao Yu was going away, and said:

Arong was born to me and Xinlan. His mother is Han, and he was often bullied by the clan when he was a child.My wife's family name is Tuoba, which is also a Xianbei surname. I was afraid that I couldn't tolerate him, so I embraced my good brother Xiao Yuanzao as a foster son since childhood.Later, when winter came and the grasslands were quiet, I would come to Youzhou and set up a stall outside the nunnery to sell noodles. Xinlan liked to eat my noodles when she was a child, and she never changed until she died.Although I can't see her in person, as long as the little nun in the nunnery buys a bowl of plain noodles from me every day, I will be satisfied.

Sure enough, he ended his speech with a contented smile.

It took Bai Yansheng a long time before he opened his mouth and asked, "What does my mother look like?"

Murong De said: "Ten years in Chongming, I went to Yongcheng to secretly meet your brother and sister. What your sister looks like, your mother is like that."

Bai Yansheng's mind was shaken, he staggered, his face had the original expression.He finally understood why his father was stricter with Yan Rong before he was alive. It must have been a torment for him to face that face every day, and the young child had no one to rely on except his parents. He knew that the flames were dangerous, but still flew They rushed forward like moths to the flame, trying to repay the grace of fertility with the light of firefly candles.

In this world, why do women always live in such pain.

The long wind is hunting, blowing away the floating clouds for thousands of miles, and the snow is just beginning, and the mountains and rivers are so beautiful.

This brown-haired, blue-eyed Xianbei man wore a long robe and spoke Chinese. He shook his sleeves and said in a loud voice, "Bai Yansheng, let me ask you, what do you think of the world today? You still think we are Rongdi outside the Great Wall, people outside the Great Wall." people?"

Bai Yansheng thought for a while and said: "People are people, there are always good people and bad people, there are good people and bad people among Han people, and it's the same with Hu people." When he said this, seeing Murong De's face showing approval, he changed the subject: " But if I want to be like Mencius, open the door and lure bandits in for my own benefit, I can't do this kind of thing."

Murongde looked at him deeply, and probably understood what he meant. No matter how deeply Sinicized a Hu person is, it is still difficult to eliminate the barrier between the two ethnic groups and eliminate the defense between Hua and Barbarians.

So he shook his sleeves, raised his head and laughed, with his beard and beard stretched out, he said nonchalantly: "In the past, Dayu came from Xiqiang, and King Wen was born in Dongyi. When an emperor rises, if there is no way, he will perish, if there is virtue, he will prosper. I will obey the expectations of the people of the world and be the lord of the world." After he finished speaking, he took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and threw it into Bai Yansheng's arms. Go straight back.

There are still bloodstains on the jade pendant, deep into the veins. Every spring in Hulun Lake, southern geese come from the north to moult here, lay eggs and hatch.

There is no shadow of the geese in the past, but there are lingering sounds of the geese coming.

The author has something to say:

☆, extra

In the north of the Bashu Basin lies a continuous mountain, Daba Mountain. When King Wu conquered Yin, he was granted the territory of Zongji and called Bazi Kingdom. In the early summer, Bazhou was established. During the Chongnian period, the aborigines rebelled, and Emperor Yuan appointed the Yizhou Barbarian Mansion to administer it.

In the depths of the mountain, there are very few pedestrians. A green horse-drawn carriage drove up on the boulevard. The driver was dressed in black. When he drove to the middle of the mountain, he saw towering green mountains, thin willows shaking green, and hidden palaces and pavilions among the lush forests.Nearby, the powder wall is surrounded, the stream flows across, the rich gate is half opened, and the stone bridge is connected.The driver stopped his horse at the head of the bridge, took the bridle, jumped out of the car, he was eight feet long, and described as a burly man, who seemed to be of alien blood.

He separated his feet slightly, gathered strength in his dantian, and said, "Master Mu of Youzhou, please see the golden face of Master Shen Chun with golden needles and plain hands."The voice was deep and deep, but it contained internal strength, and it spread far away, startling countless mountain birds nearby.When the mountain birds sing, the flowers will fly randomly, and the breeze in the deep alley will cause the elm money to fall. If you are a person who enjoys spring and outing, you will feel happy and happy, which is almost out of this world.

However, he was anxious in his heart, how could he notice these things, seeing that there was no one responding in the mountain residence, he drank a few more words in a low voice, the last sentence couldn't help but grow louder.

After a while, there were footsteps, and a white-clothed servant boy came across the stone bridge, stood at the end of the bridge and bowed to him: "Master has passed away for many years, guest, please come back."

The visitor's eyebrows twitched, his complexion sank a lot, and he stepped forward a few steps and said: "The villain came from a long way from the north, and the news was blocked, and he didn't know the bad news. He wanted to offer a stick of incense to Dr. Shen and left."

After thinking for a while, the white-clothed boy stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

The man was overjoyed, and walked up the stone bridge, followed behind the boy, passed several zigzag corridors, horizontal vines obstructed the road, and fragrant flowers rushed, and saw another courtyard, with prayer flags hanging high inside and outside, it was indeed a mourning hall .

Shen Chun's name was written on the tablet in the hall, he couldn't help but believe it.After holding incense, he paid a few obeisances in front of the hall, the boy gave up, but he didn't say goodbye when he got up, he just looked around and asked, "Where is Dr. Shen's disciple?"

Seeing that he broke his promise and his fat face was slightly angry, the boy was about to reprimand him when he heard a gentle female voice from outside the courtyard: "Bai Shu, who's here?"

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walked in from the outside. She was not tall enough but had a graceful posture. She was dressed in white and looked like a cloud of smoke.

There was some surprise in the man's eyes.Bai Shu has stepped forward to report back.The girl's face was indifferent, she raised her head slightly to look at him, and said in a calm manner: "Shen Chun is my master, my name is Shen Huaixiu, thank you for coming from afar to offer incense, what else can I do for you, distinguished guest?"

The man looked her up and down, then suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of her and said, "Miss Shen, please save Zhuo Jing's life."

Shen Huaixiu probably guessed it, looked back at Master's memorial tablet, stroked the white flowers on the temples, and said with a sad face: "Master's family is unfortunate, I really don't have such thoughts. But..."

"Miss", Bai Shu interrupted her and said, "Mr.'s filial piety is still a few months away. You promised Mrs. Tai to go down the mountain and return to the Shen family's mansion immediately."

The girl's face was still indifferent, but her tone was a bit more serious: "Bai Shu, Master taught us when he was alive, that a doctor should treat the royal family at the top, and save the poor and the lowly at the bottom. How can we refuse to save the poor?"

Bai Shu shut up aggrievedly, and Mu-shi knew that she got a big deal, so she knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

In the mountains in April, the weather changes like a child's face. In the afternoon, there are strong winds, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain.The green-capped carriage stopped under a big banyan tree, and the black horse pulling the cart kept treading on the ground.Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down the tree, and the black horse screamed and fell to the ground with a rumble.

Mrs. Mu flew up and went into the green covered carriage to have a look. After a while, she came out of the carriage and saw that the black horse was burnt and bleeding from the mouth and nose. She was desperately fighting for her life, she couldn't help sighing, and raised her knife to cut the horse's head.After killing the horse, he dug a hole on the spot and buried his beloved horse. After doing everything, he stepped across the stone bridge.

A night of violent wind and showers did not subside until dawn.Just before dawn, there were flowers and trees scattered around, green skin was empty, and he was in a trance in the outer courtyard when he heard someone calling him. When he looked up, the door opened again at some point, Bai Shu said: "Miss, please come in."

Inside the wall, peaches and apricots are especially plentiful, with pruned bamboos in between, and the young maidservant with a needle bag, with a young face and a pearly crimson tent, frequently looks at herself curiously. "Cinnabar", shouted Shen Huaixiu who was sitting by the bed, and the little maid hurriedly offered the needle pouch.

Shen Huaixiu took away the golden needle, looked at the people in the gauze tent, turned around and saw a pair of eager eyes, thought for a moment and said: "She has a blood clot in her skull, so she can't wake up from a long sleep."

Mrs. Mu was taken aback for a moment, and said happily, "Can Dr. Shen have a way to save her?" He now completely believes that this girl is the descendant of a miracle doctor.

The implication behind Shen Huaixiu's words was that she was not fully sure.

Mrs. Mu looked at her and knelt down: "Mr. Shen, please see the dangers in the inter-pass, and we have to travel a lot, please show mercy."

The girl's face turned red, she stood up and said: "I see, please get up, I will save your wife."

Mrs. Mu left his wife in the mountain residence, and lived at the foot of the mountain by himself. From the spring flowers blooming to the summer grass blooming, he lived for three months.Every morning and evening, Shen Huaixiu came to give his wife an injection, and he was by his side, and he took care of all the daily cleaning of his wife.Zhu Sha often came to deliver medicines and meals, and every day he saw a powerful man sitting by the footbath washing clothes skillfully.

At the beginning of August, one day when Mrs. Mu's wife got the needle, her eyelids moved. Shen Huaixiu thought that the patient would wake up within a few days, so she told him.Mu Shi knelt and kowtowed non-stop.At noon, he borrowed the kitchen from Zhu Sha.Zhu Sha followed him curiously, watching him knead, roll out, and make a pot of hot hand-rolled noodles.He explained to the stunned Zhu Sha that his wife loved his noodles, so he wanted to serve her with his own hands when she woke up.Unexpectedly, when his wife woke up that night, the first action was to overturn the noodles, and the second action was to slap him loudly.

Many years later, every time Zhu Sha ate noodles, she would think of this incident, and she often told others, but the other party made fun of it as a joke about a shrew and a wimp, only her young lady was always noncommittal .

In the first month of the second year of Jingning, Shen Huaixiu came from the Wanghai Building and saw a maidservant bringing out a food box from the study. She stopped and took a look. Huangjing chicken soup, yam and fungus, and various medicinal foods were all cooked by her outside. , quickly sent back to the mansion, now it's completely cold, and I didn't move.Then she raised her eyebrows and asked, "How many times has it been hot? The prince's lunch is useless?" The maid's eyelids twitched, and she said honestly: "Three times. The prince ate some snacks from Aunt Biyuan at noon."

Shen Huaixiu nodded and let her go first, then straightened her clothes and went to the study.She had just come back from Xiangyang City, and she was full of dust and dust, with a layer of snow on her shoulders, her face was pale, she didn't know whether it was cold or tired.The Prince of Shu was reading a book in the study, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly asked the people outside to bring water to wash her hands and face.

The first sentence still asked: "Is there something wrong with Xiao Yuanzao's ten thousand horses?"

Shen Huaixiu's eyes darkened, she turned her back to him and shook the water drops on her hands, and said, "I've seen them one by one, and they don't have any disease. If it's safe, let's keep them separated for a while before we talk about it." Last year At the end of autumn, the Hulu rode their horses south to borrow a way from Xiangyang, and the Emperor Xianbei promised them some benefits, and the ten thousand good horses outside the Great Wall were one of them.After Xiao Yuanzao withdrew from Xiangyang safely, he ordered someone to send him outside the city. It was rare for him to be so trustworthy. These days, the imperial concubine was checking at the racecourse outside the city.

After hearing this, Mencius went back to his desk to organize his books.Shen Huaixiu wanted to leave at first, but she was too tired to move, and she was greedy for the warmth of the study, so she turned around and sat down on the small couch by the window, thinking about her own thoughts.A while later, when Mencius was turning the pages of the book, he looked up and saw that she was still there through the curling cigarette, and was wondering, Shen Yizhou came in from the outside, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, the prince and sister are both here."

He handed Meng Ziyou a small note, but Meng Ziyou accepted the book impatiently, without raising his head, he said, "Tell me."

Shen Yizhou explained everything in detail. After Xianbei’s retreat, the emperor returned to Beijing from the Li Palace in Yangzhou and fell ill. Duan Hui took control of the government and signed a traitorous treaty with Yan. go make love.Zhongzhou Lu Zhe officially broke with the imperial court.Some people say that it is difficult to see Yang, the former Gyeonggi defender, in Xuzhou.Emperor Jingning rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Duan Hui, Fu Xi, Xie Kun, Bai Yansheng and others all had rewards. The emperor personally acted as a matchmaker, matching Xie Kun's only daughter with General Xuzhou, and they only got married after the national funeral.

Meng Ziyou was originally expressionless, but when he heard the last verse, his face changed.He put down the book, stared blankly at the floor tiles under his feet, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, and waved him to leave after a while.

Shen Huaixiu and his younger brother left the study room together, and the two walked a long distance side by side, before Shen Yizhou stuck out his tongue and said naughtily, "What happened to elder sister and son just now?"

Shen Huaixiu's complexion was pale, and said lightly: "It's not what you think, he always treats me with respect."

Shen Yizhou smiled and said: "It's better if there is no quarrel."

But Shen Huaixiu thought in his heart, he was afraid that even quarreling would be stingy.

Shen Yizhou said with a strange expression: "Sister, there is one thing I didn't say just now, Jing Yu gave birth to a son, do you know? Auntie kept it a secret." The aunt he was talking about was Mencius You's biological mother, Mrs. Shen.

Shen Huaixiu knew that this younger brother had the most sloppy guts, and looked at him with a serious expression: "Yi Zhou, don't bother Jing Yu. My aunt wants the fifth child to stay, and you have to be considerate of her pain of losing her son in old age."

Shen Yizhou didn't take it seriously, and said: "Although he is a direct relative, he has hated his son because of the matter of the fifth son. Sister, let me tell you something." He looked around and looked around, and said in a low voice: "The fifth son once said Knowing a secret of Shi Zi, I guess Jing Yu must know, maybe aunt also knows, just wait for the day to overthrow us, we have to guard against it."

Shen Huaixiu let him go, pondered for a while and said: "You remember what I said, the women in this family are like sluts, you don't want to touch them."

Shen Yizhou was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, my sister has a good hand and a benevolent heart, and she is invulnerable to all poisons."

Shen Huaixiu looked at the green grass and cold smoke in the courtyard, she is not invulnerable to all poisons, she has been poisoned for a long time, she does not know when she will be able to escape.
