Chapter 36
After passing a ridge, Zeng Ling pointed to the front and said, "Look." Guo Rong held a lantern and looked closer. Sure enough, there was a wellhead about 1 zhang wide. There was a stone tablet beside the well, with the three words "Liu Yijing" engraved on it. Looking at Zeng Ling in surprise, Zeng Ling said, "I will tell you a story." As she said, she and Guo Rong slowly walked into the "Shu Shu Pavilion". But she heard her slowly say, "It is said that during the Tang Yifeng period, a down-and-out scholar named Liu Yi went to Beijing to take the exam. On the way home, she passed Jingyang and suddenly met a Mu with tears on her face.
The sheep girl, Liu Yi, came forward to ask, and found out that the girl was the Dragon Girl of Dongting. She was brutal and abused by her brute force. So Liu Yi was entrusted by the Dragon Girl to send a letter to Junshan, found Jujingjing, and knocked on the orange tree beside the well three times. The sea patrol god guarding the gate took him into the Dragon Palace. After seeing the Dragon King, Liu Yi wrote a letter and told him about the suffering of the Dragon Girl. The Dragon King's younger brother Qiantang Jun was furious and turned into a hundred-foot red dragon, flew to Jingyang, destroyed Jingyang, and took back the Dragon Girl. After several twists and turns, the Dragon King recruited Liu Yi as his son-in-law."
After hearing this, Guo Rong said, "It turns out that Liu Yijing has such a wonderful story. Whether it is true or false, it is probably impossible for future generations to examine." Zeng Ling said, "The authenticity of Liu Yijing is not important, what people want. What people yearn for is freedom, voluntary, and what they expect is the fate of falling in love at first sight, not arranged by others." Guo Rong said, "My sister Ling, I understand your intention." Zeng Ling said, "You said it is false, but Wu Yanju, the censor of the Imperial Palace, wrote a poem to praise Liu Yi's righteous act of sending letters. "What is the intention of meeting Qing'e on the hilltop of Muyang Mountain to entrust the letter? I want to find the orange tree, don't say that it is far away from the waves of Dongting.
The disciple of the Dragon Palace, Jian Fangqi, said that the worldly king has many disasters. I left the old traces of wells, and the fragrance of the wells was there, and the river was fragrant. "Guo Rong said, "Why don't you see an orange tree?" Zeng Ling pointed to a big tree next to the pavilion and said, "This tree is." Guo Rong walked out of the pavilion and saw that the orange tree was about three feet tall, with wide branches and leaves, and about three feet thick. Zeng Ling said, "The old well is always new." Guo Rong said, "Then I'll knock three times." After that, he smiled and was about to knock. Zeng Ling stopped and said, "Tie the tree with a belt and knock three times. There should be someone who responded." Guo Rong understood, and immediately hung the lantern on the branch, cut off the belt, and tied it to the trunk.
Zeng Ling also came over and stood side by side with Guo Rong and said, "Brother Rong, let's make a wish." The two closed their eyes and recited silently. After that, they raised their hands and tapped them three times at the same time. Guo Rong said, "My sister Ling, I hope that Liu Yijing's story is true and that all the wishes we make can come true." Zeng Ling said, "Sincere will make a sound." Guo Rong said, "My sister Ling, I want to make a song for you." After that, he took out the worry-free flute, put it to his mouth, and played it gently. The sound of the flute was long and soft.
Zeng Ling listened for a while and said, "Brother Rong, can you play "Magpie Bridge Fairy"?" Guo Rong said, "A little knowledge." So, the tune has been changed and "Magpie Bridge Fairy" has been played. For a while, Zeng Ling sang: "The blue waves flow, green rings of clouds, blood and tears turn into morning dew. The wind and rain meet and express the sorrow, where does the endless lovesickness fall? In the ruthless pavilion, by the pavilion, the eternal eternity flows through the past. I play the wine and remember the first meeting, and don't let you bear the youth."
At the end of the song, Guo Rong said, "Miss Second is so talented, how could he meet Brother Yun?" Zeng Ling said, "It was the day I wrote this poem." Guo Rong became curious and asked what kind of encounter it was, but Zeng Ling said one by one: "Five years ago, on the afternoon of the Chinese Valentine's Day, my second sister and I went to Junshan Erfei Temple to stay overnight. At that time, I was in my prime, and my second sister was just eighteen. I remember that when the boat was walking to the middle of the lake, it suddenly gusts and rainstorms were heavy. The boat and my second sister and I were on a small boat. At that time, we were soaked all over, and the boat was shaking in the wind and rain. The boatman shouted us to hold the strings of the boat to avoid falling in.
In the lake. Suddenly, a big wave, and the boatman was directly dragged into the lake by the waves. In desperation, the second sister stood up and called for help, but was also dragged into the lake by the subsequent big waves. Although I knew the nature of the water, I was so young that I was so scared that I cried. I vaguely saw my second sister's head emerging from the lake three times, and were flooded by the big waves. At this moment, a fishing boat suddenly walked to the small boat, and a man flew into the water, and rescued the second sister in the blink of an eye. Then, he jumped into the water and rescued the boatman. After getting on the boat, the second sister and the boatman shrank at the corner of the boat, and were so scared that he was trembling. The man stood at the stern regardless of the heavy wind and rain.
The rudder and the boat stabilized suddenly. At that time, the man must have been as tall as a mountain in the eyes of his second sister. Later, the man asked where we were going, and the boatman told him to go to Junshan, so he kept rocking the boat to send us to Junshan Wharf. When the boat was leaning against the dock, the second sister was reluctant to get off the boat. Looking at the man, he asked what the other party's name, it turned out that he was Yun Zhengting, the famous brother Yun of Dongting Lake. Brother Yun also asked us by our name, and he realized that we were from Zengjiazhuang. He seemed to be interested in the second lady, and he also helped to carry our luggage and take us to the Second Concubine Temple. Before leaving, you looked at them.
I, I looked at you, but never said goodbye. But I was ignorant and pointed to Caixia in the sky and said, "Second sister, let's go to the back mountain to see Caixia." I pulled my second sister to leave. It turned out that the rain had already passed and the sky was clear. Maybe all of this was a marriage destined by heaven. Later, when I was in the back mountain, I heard my second sister chant: "I remember when Xiaoping first met, the word "two centers" was Luoyi. The strings of the pipa said lovesickness. At that time, the bright moon was there and the colorful clouds returned.' At that time, I didn't know what it meant. Later, when I grew up, I realized that they had planted feelings when they first met. This poem was lyrics that night, I played the piano and the second sister sang it."
After hearing this, Guo Rong said, "Although Brother Yun was born in poverty, he was incomparable to anyone in the world. The second lady was talented, but she kept her thoughts deep. One was the eldest brother and the other was a jassic girl in a small family, which was indeed suitable." Zeng Ling smiled and said, "You are like Zheng's mate. In fact, how can you explain marriage in the world be clear? Just one 'fate' is fascinating, let alone the word 'marriage'?" In fact, Guo Rong can play so many songs, which is completely accumulated over time due to his preferences, and his foundation in poetry and songs is shallow. How could he think of Zeng Qiao, who is like Zeng Ling, who speaks such subtle and deep words?
Guo Rong continued to play the worry-free flute, and Zeng Ling listened quietly on the side. It seemed as if the whole of Junshan had calmed down and listened to their stories.
Neither of them wanted to rest, hoping that time would stop and never dawn. However, when the first ray of sunshine penetrated the layers of fog, the two cheered. Facing the rising sun, they looked at each other as the red clouds spread on their faces, smiling, birds and birds sang together, fish on the lake, and the dew was clear.
Suddenly, Zeng Ling said, "Brother Rong, Zheng's escort will definitely go to Junshan again after dawn. It's better for us to take a detour back to the village and let him lose his life." Guo Rong said, "That's great. I thought of a clever plan." Zeng Ling asked, "What's the clever plan?" Guo Rong said, "Let's go, you'll know later." The two of them sang happily back to the wing room, waking up Zhao Qingsong.
Then, Guo Rong took a piece of paper, spread it on the table, and asked Zeng Ling to write. Zeng Ling asked, "What are you good to write?" Guo Rong said, "Writing a poem, I love each other deeply, but I was forced to say goodbye to the world." After hearing this, Zeng Ling concentratingly thought and wrote, "I wish to be a bird in the sky, and I wish to be a branch on the ground. The eternity of the earth is sometimes over, and this hatred will last forever." Seeing this, Guo Rong smiled and said, "Sister Ling, we are going down the mountain now." After that, he pulled Zeng Ling out. Zhao Qingsong had already
After waiting outside the door, Guo Rong said, "Qingsong, hurry up and wait for us on the boat." Zhao Qingsong said, "Miss Third Miss Guo, please give me the suitcase." Zeng Ling was about to go back to the room to get the suitcase, but Guo Rong grabbed him and said, "No need to take it, just leave like this." Both of them looked at him in surprise, and listened to him continuing, "As long as I arrange everything, please make sure it's fun." Zeng Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. See what fun tricks you perform." Zhao Qingsong went down the mountain first.
The two came to the temple and saw Master Jingyuan doing morning class. Guo Rong said, "Sister Ling, let's go after we worship the second concubine." The two knelt down. Guo Rong said, "Sister Ling, please bless me and I to be a pair of birds in the sky and a pair of branches on the ground." After kneeling down, we went down the mountain by ourselves.
When he arrived at the dock, he got on the boat immediately. As soon as the boat left the dock, Guo Rong said, "Go to the dock south of the Skynet Gang." Zhao Qingsong was puzzled and asked, "Young Master Guo, aren't you going back to Zengjiazhuang? Why are the docks of the Skynet Gang?" Guo Rong said, "I have my own arrangements, just do as you do." Zhao Qingsong immediately let the bow of the boat go south.
Facing the glow and the red waves rippling, Zeng Ling said, "Brother Rong, what are your arrangements?" Guo Rong said, "Let's play hide-and-seek for a few days." Zeng Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said was so mysterious. Guo Rong saw her smile like a flower blooming in the morning sun, which was adorable, and couldn't help but keep looking at it quietly. Seeing this, Zeng Ling asked, "Why are you looking at me?" Guo Rong said, "Good." Zeng Ling smiled and said, "What's the good thing? You'll get tired of it after watching it for a long time. Just like my father, after seeing the aunt for a long time, he married the second lady. Until he married Qi Niang, he might marry Ba Niang one day." Guo Rong's face immediately became serious and said, "My sister Ling, I will never be like your father. Guo Rong's heart for you can be seen." Zeng Ling smiled and said, "I believe in you." Guo Rong said, "Who else can you believe?" The two laughed happily.
When he arrived at the Skynet Help Wharf, Guo Rong and Zeng Ling got off the boat, but said to Zhao Qingsong: "Qingsong, if you do what I said, you will reward you with a hundred taels of gold after the matter is done. If the news is revealed, Zengjiazhuang will not be able to tolerate you." Zhao Qingsong agreed immediately. Guo Rong continued, "You rock the boat and go towards Junshan. When you approach Junshan, you shook to Zengjiazhuang again. After returning to the village, you would tell everyone that the third lady had a note in the room, but the person disappeared. Do you understand?" Zhao Qingsong nodded. Guo Rong was afraid that he would miss something, so he repeated it again. Zhao Qingsong said, "It's totally clear." Guo Rong said, "Miss Three just wants to play hide-and-seek with everyone. It's boring to say it out. Don't reveal the truth." Zhao Qingsong agreed one by one. So Guo Rong and Zeng Ling asked Zhao Qingsong to rock the boat and leave.
Guo Rong said: "Sister Ling, you must have never seen your elder brother-in-law's old house, so I will take you to see it." Zeng Ling was curious and followed Guo Rong all the way. On the way, he talked and laughed with Guo Rong, and Zeng Ling chirped like a bird, and laughed. The two were completely immersed in the happy world.
After a while, Zeng Ling was already panting when she walked. Guo Rong woke up and found that she could not be light-skilled, so it was naturally more difficult to walk with her. So, she held her right armpit and used light-skills like running. Zeng Ling saw the trees on both sides quickly retreating from her, and was a little scared and said, "Brother Rong, please wait!" Guo Rong said, "Don't worry, I will protect you." After running like this for a while, Zeng Ling slowly adapted and leaned her head on Guo Rong's shoulder, extremely relieved.
When we arrived at Wen Siyang's old house, it was indeed a charity village. Seeing that the gate was closed, Guo Rong gently pushed it open and the two walked into the yard. Zeng Ling saw that the charity village was quite good and asked, "Brother Rong, how do you know this charity village?" Guo Rong said, "Hero Wen asked Brother Yun to bring me here to live, so I knew." Zeng Ling said, "I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would have such an old house in this place. Why is no one living there?" Guo Rong asked, "Look at whose territory is here now?" Zeng Ling said,
: "In the direction we came just now, this place belongs to Zengjiazhuang's territory." Guo Rong smiled and said, "Then do you understand why?" Zeng Ling looked at Guo Rong in shock, but she didn't even figure it out. Guo Rong said, "Your father occupied someone else's place, why would your elder brother-in-law's family live here?" Zeng Ling suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh softly. The two checked the yard and had everything. So Guo Rong asked Zeng Ling to rest first and cook for herself.
In a daze, Guo Rong heard a slight crying sound outside. He suddenly woke up, turned over and got up, and immediately went to the next room to check Zeng Ling. Seeing her sleeping peacefully on the bed, he felt relieved. He listened with his ears, and cried continued. He didn't want to pay attention, but he thought about it and gently left the yard and followed the sound to the back of the yard. But he saw a big sycamore tree not far away, squatting there. It seemed that the crying sound came from there. Guo Rong couldn't help but walk over slowly.
When I came to my back, I saw clearly that it was an old woman, dressed in blue clothes, and her whole body was twitching. Guo Rong leaned over and asked, "Mother-in-law, what happened? Why did you cry so sadly?" The mother-in-law ignored her and continued to cry. Guo Rong asked again, and her mother-in-law suddenly turned around and stared at Guo Rong. Seeing her tears flowing, her face was deep and shallow, Guo Rong asked, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" The mother-in-law said, "Why are you crying so sadly?" Guo Rong said, "Why are you crying?" The mother-in-law said, "Tell you, will you help me?" Guo Rong said, "If you have the ability of the younger generation, you will definitely do your best to help my mother-in-law." The mother-in-law suddenly laughed, wiped the tears on her face with her ragged sleeves, and said, "You can help me." The monk Guo Rong was confused and asked, "What's the matter?"
My mother-in-law sat on the exposed tree roots and stared at Guo Rong in a daze, but didn't say what was going on. Instead, she suddenly asked: "What's your name?" Guo Rong said: "My name is not good." Guo Rong said: "What's the good or not." Guo Rong asked: "Is there any good or bad name?" My mother-in-law said: "If I can't say it, it's not good. What's your father's name? Why did you give you such a bad name?" Guo Rong said: "My younger generation has been an orphan since childhood, and I don't know the name of my father." My mother-in-law looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, she said: "You really don't remember your parents at all?" Guo Rong shook her head and said: "My younger generation really doesn't remember, I don't have any impression. Mother-in-law, don't talk about those irrelevant things of my younger generation, just talk about your affairs."
The mother-in-law looked at Guo Rong carefully and murmured, "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Guo Rong was confused, so he asked, "Mother-in-law, what is impossible?" The mother-in-law shook her head, looked into the distance, and said, "You haven't asked her mother-in-law's name yet." Guo Rong nodded and asked, "Mother-in-law, what do you respectfully call her?" The mother-in-law looked at him, and suddenly she was extremely warm, and in a blink of an eye she closed her smile again, and said, "Rich mother-in-law Pan Rongrong, have you heard of it in the world?" Guo Rong shook her head and said, "It's a pity that I have been in the world for the first time in the world, but I haven't heard of her mother-in-law's name." Pan Rongrong reached out to touch Guo Rong's head, but Guo Rong avoided it, and Pan Rongrong felt embarrassed.
He asked, "Why don't you let your mother-in-law touch it?" Guo Rong said, "I met my mother-in-law by chance. I care about my mother-in-law crying here before coming to investigate. If there is anything, please tell me if I can do my best. If there is nothing, I will go home first." Pan Rongrong heard this and said, "Okay, then my mother-in-law said it. Tell me where the Ninth-generation Baoyu is." Guo Rong was shocked when she heard it, and then asked for a long time: "How do I know where the Ninth-generation Baoyu is?" Originally, "I am looking for the Ninth-generation Baoyu. If I know where it is, do I still need to find it?" But he swallowed the following words.
Pan Rongrong looked at him and said, "You don't know why you are doing this expression? Don't underestimate your mother-in-law. Tell me honestly, I can't forgive you!" Guo Rong said, "Mother-in-law, I won't talk to you anymore, go back now." After saying that, he turned around and left. However, he heard the "whistle" sound, Pan Rongrong had already jumped in front of him to block the way, and said, "How easy is it to go!" After saying that, he raised his right hand and a short knife flashed out of his cuff with a "swoosh" sound, slashing Guo Rong's face. In desperation, Guo Rong hurriedly avoided it, took two steps back, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law, I care about you kindly, but you are here to harm others?" Pan Rongrong said, "Everyone in the world is like this, people's hearts are sinister, don't you know?" After saying that, he continued to wave the knife to attack Guo Rong's face.
Pan Rongrong was a head shorter than Guo Rong, and she had to look up to attack Guo Rong's face. Guo Rong looked down at her face, and glared at her eyes glaring glaring in glare and couldn't help but dodge and said, "I won't fight you. You can't beat me!" Seeing his figure, Pan Rongrong dodged quickly and said, "I didn't expect your light skills to be good!" After saying that, a short knife flashed out from her sleeve with a "swoosh" in her left hand, and her hands kept attacking Guo Rong's face and chest. Guo Rong stepped back step by step, fortunately, her feet were fast, otherwise she would have been cut several times long ago.
Suddenly, Guo Rong took out his worries and said, "Dangdangdang" and the short sword were used to block Pan Rongrong's attack. He took the opportunity to take three steps back and said, "Mother-in-law, I miss you an old man, I will give you ten moves. If you are not tactful, don't blame me for being rude!" After hearing this, Pan Rongrong smiled and said, "You guy, you are not a little angry!" After saying that, he continued to wave his sword and attack again. Guo Rong immediately stopped avoiding it and turned his worries and moved him to meet him.
