There is always a banquet in the world. After the wine, meat and music are over, all the guests go back to their homes.
Wang Guang returned to General Zhengdong's Mansion. Although there were wider and grander towers and pavilions than those in the Governor's Mansion, his mood soon became depressed. After all, he couldn't help it and planned to visit his daughter's residence.
Her name is Cen and her courtesy name is Lingjun.
"Alas!" Wang Guang couldn't help but sigh to himself when he walked to the wooden ladder at the attic.
After all, I still feel that I owe this daughter, my only daughter. When she was young, Wang Guang followed Wang Ling and could not return to Taiyuan for several years. So when Wang Lingjun was seven or eight years old, Wang Guang went back once
, she was so scared that she hid and completely forgot about her father.
For someone like Wang Guang, who values his family very seriously, it is difficult for him to accept it. Maybe he has an excuse, for the future of the family, to assist his father, to learn military and political affairs from his father, etc., but after all, he neglects his family.
.
Perhaps it was precisely because Wang Guang was away from home all year round that the Wen family member from his hometown had the opportunity to teach blindly and taught the young Wang Lingjun some strange things. The Wen family has always been in contact with the Wang family and has a good relationship.
Who would have thought that such a person would appear in the Wen family? But that Zhuzi died of illness a year ago. This is called retribution!
"Where is the girl?" Wang Guang asked at the top of the stairs.
The maid bent down and said: "I am alone in the attic. I haven't gone out until this morning."
Wang Guang asked: "Have you had lunch?"
The maid nodded and said, "I sent it to you."
Wang Guang nodded, walked in, and entered the attic with windows on all sides. Under one of the windows, Ling Junzheng was sitting alone on his knees, holding a pen in his hand, looking out the window with a deserted face. She noticed that someone had come in.
, then turned around and took a look.
She did not get up. After putting down her pen, she still sat on her knees. She just moved her direction, then slowly bowed to Wang Guang, and it took a while before she straightened up.
"Alas!" Wang Guang sighed again, then walked over and knelt down beside the wooden case.
He glanced at what Wang Lingjun had written, and it looked like he was copying it. After looking at it for a while, he saw that the content of the copy was the Dhammapada. Wang Guang's heart thumped, and he thought: She is here
When we were in Luoyang, we only copied the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters, but now we have started copying the Dhammapada?
Wang Guang has never read these two Buddhist scriptures. He particularly hates Buddhist scriptures, and now he feels even more resentful. But Wang Guang knows that the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra is more popular in Luoyang, while the Dhammapada is more popular in the south.
》.
I don’t know the similarities and differences between the two scriptures. Wang Guang has not studied them carefully. However, the Buddhists in Luoyang mainly perform sacrifices and pray for good weather and smooth life in this world. They have some general visions. But the Buddhists in the south
People often pray for their deceased relatives, hoping that the deceased will live well on the other side. In other words, the Buddhist wishes in the south are more specific, which is not a good thing!
Wang Guang originally wanted to take Ling Jun south to relax, but unexpectedly it backfired?
At this time, he looked at the large dark red robe on Ling Jun, and felt even more uncomfortable. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a cassock. Because the cassocks worn by monks in Luoyang were red.
Wang Guang couldn't help but said: "It is easy to go astray when you are young. Even now, you are not old enough and have not experienced human affairs. In the future, when you are older and have experienced many things, you will understand that some things are not that important.
.Looking back, I just smile."
There was no reaction on Lingjun's expression, but she was from a noble family, and at least she knew that she should respect her father, which was evident from her posture. She leaned her tall upper body forward in a respectful manner, "What did father say? Why are you doing this?
Tell me?"
Wang Guang pointed to the scriptures on the case, "How can such a trivial thing make you see through the world?"
Lingjun shook his head, "Father, you misunderstood me. I just think the scriptures are very reasonable and I want to cultivate my mind."
Wang Guang's brows were furrowed and he kept his mouth closed without making a sound. His beard that had been ruffled by the wind almost covered his mouth. The father and daughter were sitting on their knees next to the same wooden table, so close to each other, but Wang Guang
But it felt like the hearts between father and daughter seemed to be separated by a Shouchun wall at this moment.
"Everyone is dead!" Wang Guang said angrily.
At this time, Lingjun's shoulders trembled slightly, but he didn't know if he was frightened by Wang Guang's slightly angry scolding.
Wang Guang thought to himself: If he had not died, it would have been acceptable for him to marry the man named Wen if he had not died. After all, the Wen family is both a wealthy family in Taiyuan. The head of the family, Wen Hui, had served as the governor of Yangzhou twenty years ago.
, although Wen Lang is not the head of the family, he is also a member of the Wen family.
It's just that the age difference is too big.
Wen Lang was already an adult at that time. Since he was not the head of the Wen family and his family was not very well-off, he often came to the Wang family manor for half the morning to teach the Wang family children to read and learn. Most of the students were boys. Your Majesty was only a few years old at that time.
Even though he is old, he is considered young among that group of children.
Even when she left Taiyuan, she was only eight or nine years old. It has been almost ten years since she last saw Wen Lang. These are all old things that have passed a long time ago. But Wang Guang only recently knew vaguely that it turned out that Shuzi had been seeing him all these years.
I am exchanging letters with your lord! His mother is still a family friend and a member of the noble family, how unscrupulous!
What evil deeds did the Wen family's son write in his letter? It confused Lingjun so much. Wang Guang still doesn't know about it, and Lingjun has never wanted to say it.
But no matter what, the person is dead anyway, what can Wang Guang do now? He dares to marry that Shuzi secretly. In that case, the famous Wang family in Taiyuan will be the biggest joke in the world and can make the world laugh at him.
century.
Wang Guang thought of this and said with a pensive look on his face: "Tomorrow you will go out with me to visit the Mintun."
The expression in Lingjun's single-lidded eyes finally changed, revealing a puzzled look.
Her chin was very delicate, and in the moment of confusion, she still showed a pure look, as if she was not stained by a trace of smoke and dust. Although her straight and white neck and slender shoulders made her look a bit cold and arrogant, in Wang Guang's eyes, her daughter was not at all
Just a child.
Different from Wang Guang's image of a bearded man, Ling Jun is very beautiful, with a very different face shape. Her single eyelids and delicate chin are not like Wang Guang, but between her eyebrows she still looks a bit like Wang Guang and his wife, and she has beautiful hair.
It is very thick and black, and of course it is different from Wang Guang's slightly messy beard, which is much smoother and glossier.
After finally giving birth to such a beautiful child, Wang Guang really couldn't accept it. Your Majesty seems to have the tendency to become a monk.
"Father, why are you going?" Ling Jun's voice was very clear.
Wang Guangdao: "Let me see the sufferings in the world, and you may have some insights. They are just illusory things, why can't you let go? My father said that as long as ten years pass, you will feel that today's worries are nothing more than nothing.
It's just one of countless little things. Father has gone through a lot in this world, will he still lie to you?"
Your Majesty was silent for a while.
Wang Guang then said angrily: "Aren't our relatives of the Wang family not important? Are they not as important as an outsider?"
Your Majesty then spoke softly: "Father, don't be angry. If you didn't mention it, I really would have forgotten about it. It's nothing. I don't know how to respond at the moment."
Wang Guang made a "hmm" sound from his nose.
Ling Jun said: "Father, don't you believe me?"
Wang Guang frowned and glanced at the Buddhist scriptures, then looked at his daughter, "How can I believe it?"
Ling Jun sighed softly and said: "I thought about it often last year, but I have really tried my best to forget it. If I hadn't been suddenly woken up by someone that day, and if my father hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have been able to think of it. I wouldn't have bothered with it anymore.
What’s the use of the past?”
Wang Guang thought: What your commander said seems to make sense?
Your Majesty's voice continued: "My copying of Buddhist scriptures has nothing to do with those things. I just want to have some peace and quiet for some time. Buddhist scriptures are really useful. Father, I want to read them too. I will copy one more copy and send it to you in a few days."
Come to my father’s study.”
Speaking of this, Wang Guang was speechless and had to sigh again.
Your Majesty smiled and called softly, "Father, how many times have you sighed?"
This voice was slightly coquettish, a little coquettish, and clear and pure, reminding people of countless beautiful things in the world, making people's hearts melt quietly without realizing it. Wang Guang's heart immediately felt warm and soft, and he nodded: "
Okay, okay, father won’t sigh.”
Wang Guang stood up from the mat and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore."
Your Majesty also stood up and stopped at the door of the attic. She raised her hands to her forehead. Her large crimson embroidered robe immediately covered her beautiful face, and then she bowed deeply on the spot. When she bent down, her face was
The wonderful curves were faintly revealed from the robe. Before Wang Guang went downstairs, your Majesty had not yet finished the ceremony. His slow and graceful demeanor made people feel an indescribable strange feeling in their hearts, which was a bit mysterious.
After Wang Guang walked downstairs, he couldn't help but look back and look up.
Unlike his wife, who only values her son, her daughter still plays a very important role in Wang Guang's heart. His inner feelings towards Lingjun are a bit complicated, with some residual guilt, some worries, sometimes irritating, and often unexpected feelings.
Feelings of hot and cold.
However, after some conversation, Wang Guang felt better. Sure enough, the family members still need to talk to each other frequently. If you don't see each other for several years like before, I'm afraid it will make you even more wary of Wang Guang.
Even so, sometimes she still closed herself off, and her family was not like her family, which made Wang Guang feel alien and like an outsider.
Wang Guang felt relieved. After feeling a little more relieved, he was ready to help his father Wang Ling handle chores. The matter of his daughter was quickly forgotten.
As the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Guang has an idea in his heart that the family is the most important. The survival of the family is the first, and his own life is second. In order for the family to live well, Wang Guang has already prepared to sacrifice everything.
