Shangyuan Tour

Not long after, the defender Jiu Yu went to the capital to rush for the exam, and Shi Chengming was free with nothing to do, and his heart was about to grow grass.

More than a month later, Mr. Lu, who was always in good health, suddenly caught wind and cold. After taking a few doses of medicine, he didn't get better.

Over the past few years, he has had some affection for this cousin. Occasionally, when Master Lu and Wei Jiuqian talked about his father, Shi Chengming always pricked up his ears and wanted to hear a few more words.Later, he also thought about simply telling the truth, but he was afraid that his uncle would drive Wei Jiuqian away and make him helpless again, so he kept it buried in his heart.

The Lu family had no children, only Lu Rongxiu, a daughter in a deep boudoir. Before his death, Master Lu saw that his family was poor, his heart was cold, and he kept calling Wei Yu's name.

Shi Chengming knelt on the bedside, weeping day and night, and finally couldn't help calling "Cousin Lu Big Nose" when no one was around.

It turned out that when Master Wei wrote a letter to Cousin Lu, Wei Yuxin who was next to him said, "My cousin has such a big nose, why don't you call him Cousin Lu with a big nose?" The yellow-mouthed child made people laugh. Ru then added this sentence, which made Master Lu laugh too.

At this moment, the light came back and my heart was a little clear, I suddenly heard this title, and then I saw the familiarity of the eyebrows of the person kneeling in front of me, it was not the shadow of my cousin Wei Shiru, I was stunned.

Shi Chengming kowtowed three times and told the truth.

It omits what the two of them committed in Shannan Town, and only said that they were persecuted by the gangsters and fled to the Lu Mansion. They were afraid that their cousin would not be able to recognize him if their face was ruined, so they lied and asked Jiu Mako to pretend to be him, and begged that Jiu Mako was also a poor child. , must not drive him out.

In the past few years, even raising a cat and dog has feelings. What's more, Master Lu suddenly felt excited when he saw his relatives. He held Wei Yu's hand in tears and asked, "What did your father say before he died?"

Wei Yu cried and repeated what he had told him in prison back then, and said that his father only wanted to survive, not to be conspicuous, so he slapped his face.

Master Lu also nodded: "This is what Shi Ru did!"

When a person is about to die, there is only one thing on his mind that he can't let go of, because he said: "That year you and Rongxiu made a baby marriage, now that I am about to die, she has no one to take care of me, and it might not be good if it falls into the hands of others. It's bad, since God wants you to die in front of my eyes, it's because you have a fate with her, and I can leave with peace of mind if you get married as soon as possible!"

Lu Rongxiu cried like tears early, the girl like a piece of paper couldn't afford a family, couldn't take care of things, she wished she could go with her father.

Shi Chengming had 1 things in his heart that he didn't want to agree to, but the Lu family had raised him all these years, and they always had feelings for the guard. In front of the kindness and filial piety of the flesh and blood, love disappeared like ashes.

Immediately, he kowtowed a few more times, and answered with tears in his eyes.

A few days later, the Lu residence was decorated with lanterns and festoons for a wedding. Shi Chengming married the young lady Lu Rongxiu, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Mr. Lu was overjoyed and passed away not long after.

The Lu family went on to do business, busy and noisy for a whole month, all kinds of movements were suppressed by Shi Chengming, and he didn't ask anyone to send a letter to Wei Jiumao, so as not to affect his rush to the exam.

Besides, Wei Jiuqian was already talented and lucky, the chief examiner admired him very much, and recommended him to be an official in a high school as soon as the rankings were released, and the procedures were tossed back and forth, which doubled the time.

It was during this time that Shi Chengming married Lu Rongxiu.

When her father died and her husband was not close to each other, Lu Rongxiu was depressed and haggard day by day. One day, she suddenly pulled Shi Chengming's sleeve and asked, "That year when I went to visit relatives at your house with my father, you were the one who played with mud at the door and covered his trousers." ?”

Shi Chengming reluctantly said: "It's not playing with mud, it's the ashes of the stove fire."

Lu Rongxiu suddenly burst into tears, and pulled him to call Brother Wei Yu a few times. It turned out that only then did she dare to admit it in her heart.

At night, Shi Chengming lit a lamp alone, studied the ink, spread out the white rice paper, and wept before he wrote. He thought, Wei Jiuma hated himself to death, and three years of love left him with nothing but love. A farewell letter, I don't know if he can bear it.I also thought of Jiu Mako's deep love, lying in his arms and saying, Cheng Ming, if you are with me, you will have a good life, and your heart feels like a knife.

A long letter expresses the pain of separation and lovesickness, the regret of the world's teasing, all kinds of entangled and painful words, just sigh that he can't help himself, I hope he can cut off the relationship as soon as possible and concentrate on his official career.

That's all for writing, wipe away your tears and entrust it to the doorman Huang Sidai to Mr. Wei in the capital.

Three months passed, and there was no news, so I thought he hated me, refused to write a single word, was desperate, and fell seriously ill.

The matter dragged on until the third year. Wei Jiuma, who was an official in other places and had a firm foothold, suddenly wrote a letter to Lu's mansion. He first reported his happy event, and then jokingly asked Shi Chengming, I heard that you are married ?I don't believe you dare!

Shi Chengming was suspicious, so he sent Huang Si to interrogate him for a long time before he realized that something was wrong.That Huang Si lost the letter on the way. He didn't dare to come back too early for fear of being discovered by the master. He stayed at a relative's house in other places for a month before returning and saying that the young master had received it.

Shi Chengming read the letter again, Wei Jiuqian said on it that he would pass by Lu's residence in the near future to visit him.

Plop - Shi Chengming's heart sank to the bottom of the water.

In the autumn of this year, Wei Jiu returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the drums and gongs shook the sky.When he walked ten miles away from Lu's mansion, he was greeted by people who came out of the mansion, and he told about the marriage between Shi Chengming and the eldest lady before Father Lu died, and said that they had married for two years. The year-old child is called Zhong Er.

Wei Jiuqian was stabbed in the heart suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell off the horse.

He worked hard for an official outside, and he had long practiced intrigue and intrigue. If ordinary people hurt him, he would pay back ten times. If he is still alive, his soul, Wei Jiumao, will not be alone.

Unexpectedly, there will be a thunderbolt from the blue.

Wei Jiuqian returned to Lu's mansion with strength, but the people in the mansion still called him "Master Biao" and "Master Wei", and knelt down across the room.

Shi Chengming was also kneeling down, holding his wife Lu Rongxiu with one hand, with a normal expression.

Wei Jiuqian asked tremblingly, "Is there a bell?"

Shi Chengming nodded hesitantly, and when the child was brought out to show him, he stared closely at him for fear that he would make any extreme moves.

Wei Jiuqian is so shrewd, he can see what he is thinking at a glance, and he laughs a few times, like a night cat, it is creepy.

At night, after retreating from the crowd, Master Wei took off his official uniform, and walked naked to Shi Chengming.

He took a step forward, and Shi Chengming took a step back. When there was no way to go back, he simply knelt on the ground and closed his eyes, shaking like chaff, not knowing whether it was fear or sadness.

Wei Jiuqian asked: "Chengming, who am I?"

Shi Chengming said: "Zhong Jiumao."

Wei Jiuyu nodded and said, "Very well, there are finally people in the sky and on the earth who really recognize me."

Shi Chengming said: "Never forget, dare not forget, but because everything can't get around the word fate, now I only like Lu Rongxiu alone."

Hearing what he said personally, Wei Jiuqian's heart died, and he suddenly thought bitterly, Shi Chengming's Dharma name back then was Kongji, if he was really Kongji alone, it would be great if he had never been tempted!

Lord Wei put on his clothes and left, but the teacher Chengming under the hall suddenly became frightened, and asked someone to clear up the family's belongings and put them on the head of the child Zhong'er, and closed the door to refuse to visit.

Three months later, someone filed a complaint, and Shi Chengming was suddenly put on death row.

The accusation of the report was that he had killed Zhongli's slave in Shannan Town and abducted the young master of the Zhong family. The life and death of the young master Leizhong is still unknown.

Shi Chengming wore shackles and read the confession for a long time, wanting to laugh out loud.

Wei Jiu mackerel!Wei Jiu mackerel!

Apart from you, who else in the world knows about this old case?

What kind of crime do you use to retaliate against me? Why do you want to bring this up? Do you really want to put me to death? !

But he didn't know that Wei Jiuqian had cried all his tears at night, wishing he could swallow him bone by bone!

Half of his life was troubled, and after a few years of comfortable life, he went downhill and fell into prison.

Shi Chengming was sentenced to death, and he was held in a dark prison cell waiting to be executed. The big rat was clearly visible, jumping back and forth in front of his eyes. For a while, he seemed to go back to that year. The teacher is like teaching his son Dundun: To be a learned person, don't spend your days in turmoil.

"Squeak—" the cell door opened, and Shi Cheng said clearly, I didn't listen to my father, and I don't blame anyone else for what happened today.

Wei Jiuqian put down the exquisite food box in his hand, took out a jug of wine, and put down a cup.

We haven't seen each other for many days, and each other is like a circle of vicissitudes. The teacher Chengming is down and down, and Wei Jiuqian's face is not so moist and radiant. A few fine lines on the thin cheeks make the whole person more sharp-edged.

After a while, Shi Chengming said, "Jiu Mako, let me tell you a story."

Wei Jiuba poured wine for him, the wine was cloudy, smelled the incense, and replied: "Okay, you can say what you want."

"That year I was still a monk, and I often played at Orion's house at the foot of Nanbao Temple. His house had a cage half the height of a person imprisoning a rare blue-eyed eagle falcon. It, Orion said..." Shi Chengming raised his eyes and said firmly, "This falcon is wild, so you can't get close to it."

Wei Jiuqian sneered twice, but didn't answer.

"I don't believe it, just say that if you shut it up, it will naturally not be close to you, and you have to put it on a shelf if you practice eagles. Orion said that if you open the cage, the eagle will peck blind people's eyes, and it has pecked several people. I At that time, I felt that he was exaggerating, and I still played with the falcon. Seeing it writhing in the cage and almost breaking its wings, I decided to open the cage and let it go. Jiumao, tell me, will it peck blind when I let it out? I?"

"Of course it was pecked, so I don't know what method you used to hide it." Wei Jiuqian said coolly, "Chengming, don't you just want to say that I will repay my kindness? You saved me that year, and then shared a bite with me You didn't let me starve to death, and I became a son again when I recognized the Lu family, so I should respect your kindness and put that matter... over, right?"

Shi Chengming burst into tears, played with the wine glass in his hand for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "I have never forgotten what I said to you, the promise I made, if you said to let me wait for you on the Lantern Festival, I will really do it." If you are determined to wait for your return, even if you have no fame, it is a blessing for us ordinary people to stay together for the rest of our lives. It is a pity that everything will not go back."

Wei Jiuqian flew up and kicked the food box away, and the jug was also smashed to pieces, crying and laughing, pointing at him fiercely and saying: "You answer me for more than one thing! Let me ask you, that Lu Rongxiu looks as good as me!" I, Wei Jiuba, have any imagination? How dare you tell me that you like her? You are not afraid that I will kill her too!"

Shi Chengming smiled wryly, raised his head and drank the wine, coughed a few times and said: "I just ask you to let Zhong'er go, I owe him a lot, I can't let him lose his father and mother at such a young age, and be with the two of us." Just like back then, wandering around and being bullied by others."

Zhong Jiumao, Zhong'er, seems to have awakened to know today, but also seems to be selfish, playing with the baby on his lap day and night, calling this name thousands of times.

It's easy to take root in the heart, but it can turn into a sharp sword anyway, hurting others and yourself.

Wei Jiuba had had enough kicks and troubles. He knelt beside him and hugged him, crying, "You still change back to be Shi Chengming, and I will be Zhong Jiumao. I won't touch your child, and I won't touch Lu Rongxiu either. , is this good?"

He was talking, but his heart was like a thousand arrows gathering in his heart, and he was howling, just because he saw him drink the glass of poisoned wine with his own eyes, and black blood flowed from his nose and mouth.

"Jiu mackerel," Shi Chengming grabbed him firmly, and said with difficulty, "That eagle should have pecked me, because it hurt its wings in the cage and couldn't fly. I fed it, and it recognized me, and suddenly chased it away. I'm leaving, don't you want to be sad... It's just Jiu Mako, I'm also sad, I almost broke my eyes from crying when I wrote to you that year..."

"Believe? What letter?" Wei Jiuba was taken aback, and shook him with all his strength, but sighed that six of the seven souls of Shi Chengming, who had been poisoned, had already come out of his body, and he was lying on his shoulder without the strength to breathe.

In a trance, I still remember that when I followed Yan Da out of prison, a high-ranking official surnamed Lu passed by on the street outside with gongs and drums. Lu Rongxiu lifted the sedan chair and smiled sweetly at him. Ji Ce got rid of Yan Da.

If he knew that the high-ranking official was Master Lu at that time, wouldn't he not have to endure all kinds of hardships in the future?Mr. Wei studied hard in the cold window, greeted Miss Lu, and followed the steps that are often found in opera books.

One step away, all kinds of illusions.

But no matter what Shi Chengming thinks, he doesn't feel regretful. Someone misses him and would rather let him die. What else is there to care about in this life?

With his eyes closed, Fangfo vaguely saw that day Jiumao held his chin and said with a smile: "It won't work in a short day."

Not short, and finally no one owed.

The second year is Qingming.

A half-grown child respectfully kowtowed in front of Wei Yu's grave, and Lu Rongxiu shook hands and left.

After a while, a wide sedan chair came down, and Wei Jiuqian also came, put a few steamed buns in front of the grave, and burned all the sacrificial rites.

After returning home, someone came out of the bedroom with tea and asked him, "How does Zhong'er look?"

Wei Jiuqian said angrily, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

The man lay on the chair, touched his naked, unaccustomed face and said, "I dare not look at it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it."

Wei Jiuqian sighed, sat down next to him and said, "I'll avenge my kindness, and you abandon your wife, isn't that worthy enough?"

"Not necessarily, Wei Yu was the one who abandoned his wife, and I am not him anymore." Shi Chengming leaned on his shoulder wearily, drinking the poisonous wine and being rescued from the gate of hell, it is not something ordinary people are willing to bear, but what if they don't die once? Do you know what is the most important thing in your heart?

He didn't want to forget his father when he changed his name back then, so he took the surname "Shi", and by chance, he took the surname "Wei" again, unexpectedly his child was called Zhong again.

There are all kinds of entanglements in the world, since I don't want them to be separated, I will live in peace and quiet for the rest of my life...
