Chapter 490 That year, the long street was full of spring
Beijing.
That year, spring was in full swing on Long Street.
The warm breeze of early spring carries a hint of warmth, just like a lover's hand, brushing on a person's face, gentle and delicate.
On the mountain tops in the distance, you can still vaguely see the tops of snow that have not yet melted. The rest that has melted has turned into trickles, flowing into rivers and moistening the entire land.
The buds of the willow trees on the roadside have begun to sprout. As soon as you stroke them, your hands are full of freshness. There are also the grass seedlings that poke their heads out. Before you know it, the earth has been covered with green.
blanket.
The breeze is just right, and the air is filled with fresh smells... It's the spirit of spring.
The willow branches were fluttering and bright green. As the spring breeze blew by, a child suddenly grabbed the willow branches and pulled off a lot of buds, leaving a string of cheerful laughter.
Where the snow melted, the grass quietly poked its head out, looking around, looking for traces of little flowers.
The stream at the foot of the mountain finally thawed, and he was walking on the winding mountain road, heading towards the river he longed for.
The most beautiful thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows that fill the imperial capital.
"Get out, get out of here, don't follow me, I'll get annoyed when I see you."
Outside the city, a young man rode a horse and stood on the official road, looking unhappy and yelling at the guards behind him.
The young man has starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, handsome appearance, tall figure, and is dressed in white, which adds to the charm of a pretty boy.
Although the weather is still a bit cold now, the young man already has a fan in his hand, which adds to his sense of coolness and elegance.
The man on Mo is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
"Sir...Sir, if we don't follow you, the master of the family will punish us if he finds out."
One of the guards was in a bit of a dilemma.
"When the old man asks you, just tell me that I don't allow you to follow me. I want to go out to relax. Why are you rough guys following me? I'm so happy after you sweep me away. Tell the old man, if you bother me again, I will never go back.
, you go back."
After speaking, the young man rode his horse and ran towards the distance.
The guards looked at each other and could only shake their heads and sigh. They did not dare to go back and waited where they were.
In the sky, the clouds were blown by the wind, covering the sun. The sunshine was a little dim, which made people feel a little depressed unconsciously, just like the mood of young people now.
"I'm so mad at urging you to get married, to push for a frivolous marriage. I'm only twenty-eight this year, and I'm not romantic enough yet, so you asked me to marry that tigress.
Who knows what that tigress looks like, she has never been seen by anyone, she must be ugly and annoying."
The young man slowed down his horse and strolled on the path among the wheat fields. He glanced back at the city that was already far away and muttered a few words impatiently.
His name is Wang Fugui, and his family is very wealthy in the Helan Kingdom. It's not that his family has a big business, but because his father is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of the empire's finances.
And his already engaged fiancée is the eldest daughter of Qi, the largest merchant family in Helan Kingdom. It can be said that they are a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
The minister in charge of finance and the big merchants all understand it.
In the eyes of everyone, this marriage is a good story. The two families will definitely become rich if they join forces.
Except Wang Fugui.
It is said that Miss Qi never showed her true face to others. She stayed in the boudoir all year round. When she occasionally appeared, she would cover her face with a red scarf, making it difficult to see her true face.
But in Wang Fugui’s opinion, it’s just ugly. Otherwise, why wouldn’t people look at her if she’s good-looking?
Pooh,
Despicable.
Wang Fugui looked at the dark clouds in the sky, shook his head, and continued to ride his horse on the official road.
Aimlessly.
To relax, you should follow the circumstances and follow your heart, wherever you go. If you walk with a purpose, it is not called relaxing, it is called rushing.
Unknowingly, Wang Fugui walked to the foot of a mountain.
Looking up, the scenery on this mountain is beautiful. The peaks are not high, neither strange nor steep, but they are somewhat soft and beautiful. It is a good place to relax.
The mountain road was not suitable for riding horses, so Wang Fugui found a big tree and tied the horse to the tree.
The weeds under the trees are quite dense, so I don't have to worry about the horses having nothing to eat.
After walking forward for half a mile, I saw a first-class stream winding down from the mountain. I walked to the stream, squatted down, picked up a handful of water, and wet my cheeks.
The cold and biting stream water hit his face, which made him feel a little more awake. Wang Fugui stood up and walked towards the mountain along the jagged rocks beside the stream.
Along the way, listening to the sound of rushing water, accompanied by the sound of birds jumping and insects chirping, I felt at ease, and the mountain road became less difficult to walk.
Going further up, the bushes gradually become fewer and some tall trees come into view.
There was faint green visible above the trees. As Wang Fugui walked along, the previous gloominess was swept away.
Faced with this situation, Wang Fugui, who was relaxed and happy, wanted to recite a poem, but suddenly thought that although his father was the number one scholar, he had failed in the exam three times in a row.
Forget it, it's better not to be embarrassed.
After passing through the dense woods, we have reached the top of the mountain. Even with Wang Fugui's strength at the second level of the first level, he is still slightly out of breath.
Alas, as I get older, my waist is weak, and I feel a little tired even if I climb a mountain.
After leaving the woods, the view suddenly opened up. There were not many trees on the top of the mountain, and the view was excellent.
Seeing a winding path not far away, Wang Fugui walked onto the path and strolled forward.
After a while, I saw a Taoist temple in the distance.
The Taoist temple is not big, located in front of a bamboo forest, but it also looks quiet and elegant.
Enter the ancient temple in the early morning,
The early sunshine shines on the high forest.
Winding paths lead to secluded places,
The Zen room is full of flowers and trees.
Mountain light pleases birds,
The shadow of the pool is empty of people's hearts.
Everything is silent here,
But there is still the sound of bells and chimes.
"How come there is a Taoist temple in this barren mountain and wilderness? I have never heard of it before."
A smile appeared on Wang Fugui's lips, and he strolled towards the Taoist temple.
While strolling, admiring the surrounding scenery, suddenly, a piece of fire caught his eye.
Wang Fugui stopped and looked up, only to see a figure in the distance, whom he couldn't see clearly, squatting on the ground and fiddling with something.
The fire was right in front of the figure.
"Oh, setting fire to the mountain is a very uncivilized act."
Wang Fugui, the messenger of justice, planned to go over and talk to the man, but he saw a mound of earth protruding behind the fire, which he thought should be a grave.
Wang Fugui was startled and couldn't help but laugh. Then he remembered that today seemed to be the Qingming Festival, and that person must be visiting the grave of his ancestor.
Thinking of this, Wang Fugui also gave up the idea of stepping forward to dissuade him. After all, people have to fulfill their filial piety, and it is not easy for him to criticize him.
Following the path, Wang Fugui walked all the way to the Taoist temple.
In the middle of the Taoist temple, there is an incense burner. The sandalwood in the incense burner has been burned to the roots and is emitting a faint green smoke, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
