Reborn Rongruo

Zhu Yizun's visit to Tianjin this time was not to admire the name of Yimu Garden, but to visit Chengde on a special trip.He not only brought the news of Wu Zhaoqian's release to Chengde, but also brought Gu Zhenguan's personal letter to Chengde.

Being grateful, Cheng De held a banquet with Zhang Lin in honor of Zhu Yizun. During the dinner, the three talked about the past and the present very happily.Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Lin left the shop first if he had something to do, leaving Cheng De and Zhu Yizun alone.The two were chatting and laughing, Zhu Yizun looked at the melancholy in the corners of Chengde's eyes and brows that could not be erased while talking and laughing, and sighed secretly, then took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Chengde: " I was entrusted by Liang Fen, this letter was not allowed to be given to you, but today I see that you have a lot of troubles, so I have to show it to you. Just wait and see, some things are always delayed like this, and there is no way out! If you can't let it go, it's better to go back, and you won't suffer from this lovesickness anymore!"

Chengde looked at the handwriting on the envelope that was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar with it, and said nothing for a long time.He lowered his head slightly, the afternoon sun swept across the cornices of the water pavilion and hit his side face with a faint brilliance, and the ripples of the green lake seemed to be at a loss like a banished fairy who had fallen into the mortal world , It is inexplicably distressed.

Zhu Yizun poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly. He deliberately ignored Cheng De, but he also knew that Cheng De's hand to open the letter was shaking slightly.So, I sighed again in my heart.

Xuanye's letter was still very short, but this time it was not as heartless as last time, seeing that Chengde had no reason, tears were streaming down his face.The letter quoted a poem from the predecessors, which read: "The lovesickness is deep, and the white paper is difficult to read. Every word is bitter, so Tan Lang has to read it."I clearly remember the appointment of angelica, as far as the ripening of cherries, why is it that when the chrysanthemums are blooming, it is still not the song of returning home?

This is a poem about medicine by Chen Ya, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, Cheng De had read it before. resonance.I didn't expect to see it in Xuan Ye's pen in this life, it's still for myself.One can imagine what kind of situation Xuan Ye is in now.

Chengde also understands that since Xuanye has written him this letter this time, it means that the last letter asked him to go back, and Xuanye has no intention of pursuing the matter that Chengde didn't go back.Although Xuan Ye's change of attitude shows that he has forgiven Cheng De, but only he knows what kind of suffering and struggle Xuan Ye has experienced in this process.

Is there really no resentment in his heart but helplessness?At this moment, Cheng De could no longer guess Xuan Ye's state of mind, he just felt an invisible pressure rushing from between the black and white words, his heart hurt, and he was a little out of breath.

Xuanye said, "What's the matter with the chrysanthemums, and you still haven't returned home?" 'This is to imply that autumn is coming for him, let him go back before the beginning of autumn.But Chengde can't do that, he has his persistence, this time he has stubbornly persisted for nearly two years, if his heart softens for a while, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted? !Besides, there is not much time left before next year's scientific examination, as long as you are ruthless this time, you will win fame next year, can't we see you again?

Thinking of this, Cheng De's heart trembled, he seemed to have a premonition, if he didn't return this time, he might really miss Xuan Ye in this life.As soon as this thought came up, Cheng De suppressed it severely.He kept telling himself, no, Xuan Ye would not treat him like this, he should be able to understand his painstaking efforts, understand his intentions, and he also firmly believed that Xuan Ye's intentions for him were not the kind that could not withstand storms. shallow.

Therefore, Cheng De put the letter in his arms, straightened his expression, and said to Zhu Yizun: "Can you stay a few more days this time, sir?"

Zhu Yizun smiled knowingly, and said: "You write your reply slowly. When it is finished, leave it to me. I really want to enjoy the scenery of this acre of garden for a longer time."

Cheng De felt at ease, and then started to have a banquet with Zhu Yizun again.

The news of Zhu Yizun’s visit to Yimu Garden spread like wildfire, and many talents in Tianjin came to visit. At that time, Yimu Garden became famous, and celebrities from the north and south gathered together, such as Mei Wending, Fang Bao, Jiang Chenying, Zhao Zhixin, etc. They all visited one after another, which made the Jinmen literary world a good story for a while.

Accompanied by these great Confucian scholars every day, Chengde naturally became more cheerful as he chatted freely, and finally finished writing his reply to Xuan Ye on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival.Xuanye asked each other with words, and Chengde responded with words. He wrote a poem about Magnolia, which is as follows: If life is just like seeing you first, why is the autumn wind sadly painting a fan?Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change.

After the Lishan language, it is half past midnight, and the night rain and the bell will not complain.How about Bo Xing Jin Yilang, who will wish for that day.

Chengde put so much effort in citing the scriptures, but he just wanted to tell Xuanye one thing, even if you blame me and hate me, I still believe that you love me, and I will remain the same as I was at the beginning. .

It's just that the poem in the envelope hadn't been handed back to the capital by Zhu Yizun, but it was completely suppressed in Chengde's study because of Gu Zhenguan's arrival.

Gu Zhenguan went to Ninggu Pagoda to pick up Wu Zhaoqian's release, and deliberately made a detour to visit Chengde in Tianjin.

Wu Zhaoqian was implicated in the 14th year of Shunzhi's court case and entered Ningguta for 13 years.When Cheng De saw this person for the first time, he was attracted by his frost-stained temples and fresh eyes.He remembered that when he saw this person in his last life, it was ten years later, at that time Wu Zhaoqian seemed to have given up his vitality and was depressed.But now it is completely different.

When Wu Zhaoqian saw that Cheng De was about to kneel down, Cheng De was startled, and quickly closed his eyes, holding Wu Zhaoqian's hand tightly and saying, "What are you doing, sir? My teacher is the one who released you on bail. Cheng De has nothing to do." How can you be such a great gift if you don’t get rewarded for your merits?!”

Wu Zhaoqian looked at Chengde with tears in his eyes and said: "Liang Fen has already told me, if it wasn't for you... how could the emperor have such a will? It's just that you have suffered... Sigh!"

"This..." Cheng De didn't understand, so he looked at Gu Zhenguan.But Gu Zhenguan turned his face away unnaturally, coughed and said, "Let's go in and talk about it first, Ji Zi has been urging me on the road for the past few days, and he hasn't had much rest. He is already very weak, let's go inside and talk about it!"

Several people walked in hurriedly, Gu Zhenguan said again: "By the way, Mr. Zhulong has been here?"

Cheng De was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said: "I have lived here for nearly two months, and today I am going to accompany Mr. Mei to cross the boat to catch some crabs. Otherwise, if I know you are here, I must come here to welcome you." I welcome you! I read the letter you gave me, and it was written a few days ago. It was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I thought about waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to hand it over to Mr. Zhulong, otherwise he would return to Beijing at this time. Aren't you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the road?"

At the end of Chengde's speech, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he was trying to solve some difficult problem, exuding a sense of indifferent ease.

Looking at Chengde like this, Gu Zhen's face changed several times at that moment, and it was Wu Zhaoqian who was beside him who quietly took his sleeve and managed to return to normal.He turned his head and saw Wu Zhaoqian's worried face, so he forced a smile, patted Wu Zhaoqian's arm, and after all said nothing, he followed Chengde to the guest house that was temporarily cleaned up for them.

It was near evening when Zhu Yizun and Mei Wending came back.Hearing that Gu Zhenguan and Wu Zhaoqian were here, they were very excited. They handed over a large basket of crabs they had brought back to the kitchen to tidy up, and sent someone to invite Zhang Lin to celebrate together at night.

After all, it was a long journey, Wu Zhaoqian entered the guest house, washed up and then squinted away.Gu Zhenguan called Zhu Yizun to the back garden alone when Cheng De was calling other people before the dinner. It seemed that he had something urgent to discuss with Zhu Yizun.

The author has something to say: PS: Historically, Wu Zhaoqian arrived in Beijing in November of the 20th year of Kangxi, and stayed in Ninggu Pagoda for 23 years.Those who are interested can search on Baidu.We are early here.
