Chapter 11 Camellia blooms all over the road in September

The river is vast, and the mountain wind blows the leaves with waves. In such a warm autumn afternoon, I am like a flower basking in the warm sunshine, and my mind is happy and relaxed. WWW.tsxsw.COM faintly heard a song, as if someone was singing a mountain song. I looked at Xuanqing, who was standing side by side with me, and saw him with a shallow smile, listened with my ears, and knew that he had heard it too.

The gentle singing sounds floating in the distance, although they are far apart, the singing sounds are clear and the words are clear. It is clearly heard:

Little girl treats her lover - deep affection, don't let her down - a relationship, when you meet her, you should treat her well, when you don't meet her, you should keep it in your heart every 17 or 18 times every day!

The singing became closer and closer, and the tone was still a little childish as my little daughter, but it was very clear. I saw Xuanqing pursing his lips and listening, pondering and thinking, her shallow eyes caressing the reeds swaying in the wind, caressing the overlapping green mountains, and stroking the ripples of the river, slowly revealing a gentle smile, as if it was a child who had been exposed, with a little shyness in his smile, which gently rippled on the corners of his beautiful lips like ripples.

I lowered my head and saw his tall and tall figure covering the lonely reflection of my standing in the shadow of the water.

My heart suddenly jumped, and I saw a girl singing the mountain song not far away, leisurely rowing the boat oars, and swaying and getting closer. The girl was only fourteen or five years old, wearing a long gown with blue printed cloth, tied a thick braid, and tied a red rope at the end of the braid, singing happily. She was not in full shape, with green eyebrows, plain face, slightly dish-colored, and only a pair of almond eyes, which were round and round, very lively and clear, making people like it at first sight.

Xuan Qing greeted, "Girl, do you carry people on this boat?"

The ferrying girl's voice was clean and sweet, and she replied loudly: "Of course! Do you want to cross the river?"

Xuanqing smiled with his hands behind his back and said to me: "The Piaomiao Peak in front is my villa's balconies. I live in the balconies for ten days in January. Now I can let this girl pass by me."

I couldn't help but ask, "What about Yufeng?"

He said: "The old horse of Yufeng knows the way and recognizes the way to Qingliangtai. When it is full and drinks, it will go back by itself."

I thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Then, the prince is in a good mood."

He smiled, his sleeves were driven by the wind, and the wind was floating like a turning. He looked at me and said softly: "My wife is willing to send you a clear journey and take a look at the lakes and mountains along the coast."

I wandered slightly, but thinking about how good he was to me, I couldn't bear to refuse and said softly: "Okay."

So Xuanqing took the bag on the horse, jumped onto the ferry girl's boat, and pulled me onto the boat. That was a very ordinary move. The moment my fingers touched his palm, I felt his hands warm and dry, and I could feel the blood vessels under his skin pulsating faintly. But my hands were cold and wet.

I and he were sitting at the bow and stern of the boat, but the woman who rowed the boat was unhappy and supported the oars and said, "You two know each other, and you sit head and tail like this. When you want to talk later, it's awkward for me to stand in the middle."

Xuanqing smiled "sneer" and said, "What the girl is saying, then go to the stern of the boat and sit with her wife."

"Madam?" The girl looked at my Buddhist outfit and said curiously: "Look at her sister-in-law from Ganlu Temple, why do you call her a lady?"

I felt a little embarrassed and had to say, "I am the one who practices with my hair."

The girl suddenly realized it and clapped her hands and said, "Yes, my mother has become a monk, so people call her Dharma name "Mo Yan" or a sister-in-law. But you are just practicing with your hair."

I was slightly surprised and looked at the girl and said, "Is Mo Yan your mother?" After a closer look, although the girl was not tall enough, her eyebrows, eyes and expression were exactly the same as Mo Yan.

She nodded and said happily: "Yes. Do you know my mother too?"

I nodded, "She takes care of me a lot." She stopped paddling, looked at me curiously, and said, "My mother said there was a sister named 'Mochou'. Her life experience was very miserable and pitiful. Did you mean you?" I didn't know how to answer, but I felt a little embarrassed. The girl said to herself, "I see that you are so pale and thin, you must not have enough food to sleep well. No wonder my mother said you are miserable and pitiful."

The girl was simple and open-minded, thinking that not having enough food and sleeping well would be sad and pitiful in the world. But when I met things in this world, there were more difficult to describe the pain.

However, Mo Yan said that I was pitiful, it was true. Although she was in Buddhism, her daughter was nearby and could be seen from time to time. Unlike me, except for the painting in my hand, I will never see my only daughter again in this life, I can’t hear her crying and laughing, and I will become a stranger for life.

The girl spoke unintentionally and still rowed her oars. However, my sorrow was easily aroused, and I felt sad.

Xuanqing sat beside me and whispered: "Her mother, is the sister-in-law who just wiped the floor with you?" I nodded gently to agree. His sadness filled his always gentle eyes at that moment, and said: "You have lost a lot of weight. I have worked so hard to wipe the floor today. Do you have to do such a heavy job every day?"

I shook my head and said briefly: "No."

The girl interrupted, "Are you wiping the floor in the hall? That's a job of punishing people for doing something wrong, but it's hard. My mother said that even the bones would fall apart after a long time." She glanced at Xuanqing and said, "I heard from my mother that Mochou is new. Those sisters always bullied her. They have to wash a lot of clothes every day, dry firewood and wash it. The hardest thing is."

Xuanqing looked at me with pity, "Why don't you tell me? Why is no one helping you to be fair and let others bully you?"

I lowered my head, and my expression calmed down, "I am willing to do it myself." I looked at him calmly, "Although the Ganlu Temple is hard, there are few scheming struggles, so I am tired of all kinds of struggles in the palace and willing to practice. What's more, I said quietly: "Once I feel tired and hard, I will no longer have the heart to remember the pain in the past. So, I would rather work harder by myself."

Xuanqing's eyes clearly showed some enduring pain, as if a leaf or something condensed in the crystal amber. When I got closer, I suddenly realized that his eyes were not ordinary black, but lighter, with a little warm and tenderness of amber.

He said: "It is also good to be able to gain a moment of peace in hard work. The most fear is that you can't extricate yourself from it."

The wind blew through my hair, and Su Su itched. I looked up at the clear blue sky and smiled faintly: "It's still clear that I understand. If I want to do it myself, it will always be difficult."

"Then", the sunlight was dyed with the colors of the mountains and rivers and projected onto his face, with soft lines. He and Yan said, "Sit together at this moment, cross the sky to look at the clouds, talk, or be silent, and enjoy a moment of peace."

"Sit together, cross the sky to look at the clouds, talk, or be silent..." I murmured softly.

"Yes", his tone was affirmative and easy-going, like a soft wind filled with the lush water vapor of the river, "At this moment, I just want to be like this with you."

She lowered her delicate eyelashes safely, and the peace and throbbing in her heart were intertwined with clear ripples like the waves around her, and gradually became calm. There were soft and shining ripples reflected by the sun on the boat, and I sighed silently in my heart that if my life in the future often had such a moment of tranquility and comfort in front of me, like a river flowing eastward, with a fixed direction, peaceful and calm, it would be an excellent ending.

I and him were silent like this, looking at the same world, and my heart was peaceful.

The girl on the ferry giggled like a silver bell, "The old saying is good. I have been able to cross the same boat for ten years and sleep with a hundred years. You two have been able to cross the same boat like this, but why don't you even say anything? I don't care about you, I'm going to sing my song, don't think it's unpleasant."

After ten years of cultivation, I can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, I can sleep together.

I suddenly became stunned. I heard this often before, and I didn't take it seriously. I occasionally joked with others. However, I suddenly heard it, as if I was meditating, and I lowered my head and chewed the taste of this sentence. I was thinking about it, as if lightning suddenly passed through the sky in the dark night. In such a rapid moment, something was shining brightly, but I still couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness.

I secretly glanced at Xuanqing, and saw that he was silently bowing his head, as if he was thinking about something, his expression seemed happy but not happy, and he was not clear. He only heard his voice slowly fall into his ears, "As long as I said, I have been with my wife twice, and I think I have been practicing for twenty years in my previous life."

I don't turn around and tease the river. The river water in September is already a little cold. The coolness penetrates into my skin. I said, "I'm kidding."

The girl raised her head and continued to sing the song just now. However, she was young and couldn't understand the taste. The song was so happy that she liked the song without any affection in it. She was still young!

I was deeply thinking, but I didn't understand what I was thinking. What I thought about was all ignorant. I only thought clearly in ignorance that except for the most lingering months in the palace, I never cared about Xuan Ling seventeen or eighteen times every day.

The water waves swayed, as scattered as wrinkled silk. Piaomiao Peak was very similar to Lingyun Peak where Ganlu Temple was located. In just a moment, it had arrived.

Xuanqing went ashore, pointed to the tower and pavilion on the top of the mountain, and said, "This is Qingliangtai. If you need help in the future, send someone to Qingliangtai and say it. Qing must do your best."

I smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you. I am already grateful to see the portrait of Longyue and have no more requests."

Xuanqing's whole person was covered with water and mountains, and it seemed to be free of waves and dust. The light was evenly dyed with light. "I say that, I have to ask my wife to help me. The sixth day of next month is the first birthday of Longyue. If you have something to ask my wife to help me."

I was slightly surprised: "What?"

He took out a pack of materials from the bag and handed them to me piece by piece, rose purple satin, water red pattern brocade, green color dark flowers, bamboo leaves brocade, square flowers, Sichuan brocade, birds holding auspicious flowers, and big flowers brocade. Seeing that I was puzzled, Xuanqing smiled and said, "The sixth day of next month is the birthday of Lu Yue. As her uncle, I have to give some clothes and pantyhose as gifts. Unfortunately, the embroiderer in the Qinghe Palace is not good at hand, so I can only trouble my wife to do it."

He spoke politely and naturally, and I was sad and happy in my heart, and could hardly believe it. My hands were trembling slightly due to excitement, and asked, "Really? Can I do it for Longyue with my own hands?"

There was a positive meaning in his calm answer, "You are her mother, and naturally the clothes you make are the closest and most suitable. Longyue is your daughter. If she can wear the clothes you made with your own hands, it will naturally be better than anything else."

I was very grateful and hesitated, "But every royal family sent so many clothes as gifts, can I wear the moon I made?"

There was a warm glow in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have agreed with Concubine Jing. You, the mother, will definitely fulfill your wishes." He took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is Long Yue's body size. I will come to pick it up two days before Long Yue's birthday, and I will wait for my wife here." He said warmly: "I'll have to worry about everything. When Qing sent it to the palace, it will be just a gift to the Buddha."

I carefully held the clothes, as if I was holding my soft and young moon, and was very excited.

Xuanqing turned his head and asked the girl: "What's your name?"

"Anu", the girl turned her head and smiled brightly, "Everyone here calls me Anu."

Xuan Qing Dandan smiled and took out the broken silver and put it in Anu's hand, "Then, Anu, I'll ask you to send this lady back again."

Anu nodded, and the bamboo pole was harder. I looked back and saw Xuanqing's figure standing on the shore, getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing.

When I went back, Mo Yan happened to be in my room and said to me quietly: "Why have you been out for so long? Fortunately, Jingbai and the others didn't notice it. I have finished cleaning the Jinshen Hall for you." She frowned and said: "Why have you been out with a man for so long?"

I said gratefully, "Thank you." Then I whispered, "It's my daughter's uncle."

Mo Yan said "Oh", then he immediately understood and stopped asking. I smiled and said, "I just met your daughter Anu today."

She said "Ah?", a little embarrassed, and a little proud, "It's almost time to become a big girl, and she's still showing off to make a living, but it's better to support herself."

I smiled: "It will be time to talk about my husband's family in two years."

Mo Yan said with a stern face: "My daughter should not marry a stinky man and ruin it. Just live a clean life."

I was surprised and said, "It would be fine if you think so. Anu is young and she may not be willing."

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "My daughter can see more thoroughly than me in this mind."

I talked to her for a few words and they all parted.
