Baidi Chunshen

Chapter 27

Liang sang Wudi ditties all night.

"The deep ice is three feet thick, and the plain snow covers thousands of miles.

My heart is like a pine and cypress, how is your love? "

Zhuge Liang took Zhuge Jun and Ma Su to practice the piano, and looked at the big and small singing over there, really helpless.Ma Liang has made some success in learning the piano from him, and he has learned all the Qilu songs from him, but he thinks that the funeral songs sung by Liang Fu are too boring, so he always wants to learn the style of Zheng Wei, and even obscene songs. listen.Now he has Zhuge Jin to teach him the ballads of Wu land, but his wish has been fulfilled.

Although Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang are classmates, they learn from each other, and they are good friends, but they are mostly playing and bickering together.As for Zhuge Jin, he always loves him like a gentle elder brother.Whenever parting, Ma Liang would pull Zhuge Jin's sleeve, reluctant to part with tears.

Later, when Ma Liang was sent as an envoy to Soochow, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to meet and see Ma Liang off every time.Every time the two parted with tears in their eyes, Zhuge Jin would always ask: Would A Liang stay with me in Jiangdong?

Ma Liang smiled and said, "Liang's parents and elder brothers are all in Jingzhou, how can I leave them behind?"

...

...

...

At this moment, the two of them were silent for a while along the way, Zhuge Jinfang asked: "Qiaoer... is it okay?"

"Brother still remembers his own son at last." Ma Liang teased: "Still the same. His body is weak, good and bad. Bing'er is still the same, and runs to him when he is free. The two are closer than brothers..."

Zhuge Jin sighed: "He got such a cruel father and sent him so far away, he must blame me."

"...Why did my brother say that. Qiaoer...I miss you very much."

Not to mention that Zhuge Jin and Ma Liang are very close friends, they can be said to be close friends at first sight.This warm friendship has also continued to their next generation.At that time, because Zhuge Liang had no children, he asked Qiao to feed him.Zhuge Qiao was only eight years old. When he first came to Jingzhou, he often missed his biological parents and was depressed.Seeing this, Zhuge Liang discussed with Ma Liang and asked Ma Bing to accompany Zhuge Qiao.The two children accompany each other day and night, as dear as brothers, comparable to Zhuge Jin and Ma Liang back then.Zhuge Qiao also became brighter day by day, with a smile on his immature face, and he led the Ma family brother around all day long.I could only see Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang both laughing and sighing.

"Kong Ming... is also 42 years old. I haven't seen him for many years... I wonder if he has gray hair?" Zhuge Jin asked again.

"Speaking of Brother Zun," Ma Liang shook his head and looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile: "Brother Zun misses him very much... His favorite thing to do in his spare time is to read his family letters and write long letters to him... Since last October, Brother Zun He hasn't received his brother's letter for a long time, and he is still so anxious that he always asks the servants why he didn't reply, and he is always worried about whether you are sick."

"..."

"Not long after he learned that you attacked Jingzhou from Lumeng, Brother Zun didn't sleep well for three nights, and he sighed repeatedly. That's when Liang found out that Brother Zun's hair started to grow gray..."

"I...I'm sorry for Kong Ming." Zhuge Jin sighed.

"Brother, you have forgotten me and Brother Zun." Ma Liang said half complaining: "General Sun kisses Elder Brother again, can he kiss us? Your Majesty will ignore the past, and Brother Yang will come back. Liang is afraid that Brother will not understand..."

"Ah Liang, you don't understand." Zhuge Jin suddenly interrupted him: "Supreme... just like my other younger brother."

Ma Liang stared at Zhuge Jin in a daze, with a little confusion in his eyes.Seeing this, Zhuge Jin smiled slightly: "Brother Zhizun had just died at the time, and Zhizun was still young, so he only held me to cry. That appearance...was so similar to Kong Ming when he was a child... Who would have thought Zhang Zibu pulled him over and said When it wasn’t time to cry, I pushed him onto the horse and let him go to inspect the barracks... After so many years, Supreme is no longer the helpless child he was back then. Even if he became a generation of heroes, I still can’t trust him..."

"...No wonder. Liang heard that General Sun has a stubborn personality, and sometimes the officials would not listen to any persuasion. The only one who would listen to his elder brother's polite persuasion..."

Zhuge Jin shook his head: "Ah Liang said I was cruel, but he didn't wrong me. Kong Ming said that about me..."

"Huh?" Ma Liang asked with a smile: "A gentle and restrained person like Brother Zun would blame Brother?"

"Why not." Zhuge Jin recalled with a smile: "When he was sent to Jiangdong as an envoy, the Supreme liked him so much that he insisted on me keeping him. I know that with Kong Ming's temperament, he would never agree. I also told the Supreme. I couldn't do it. But I couldn't resist the Supreme Being's repeated begging, so I went to mention it to Kong Ming. Unexpectedly, Kong Ming immediately lost his temper... You have heard Kong Ming say that "you can be virtuous, but you can't be all bright." , Those are all excuses. He really said such perfunctory words to me. "

"...Why did Brother Zun lose his temper with Elder Brother?" Ma Liang asked with a smile, "He didn't tell me!"

"How could he tell you such a shameful thing..." Zhuge Jin said with a smile: "As soon as he pulled his face down, he said: How time flies, things are different. When I was young, he asked me for the stars in the sky, and I said I couldn't pick them up." Him. Now, the Supreme has become the child who asks me to pick the stars. He himself has become the star on that day..."

"Hahaha…"

Ma Liang understood that Zhuge Liang's words were a pun.The heart of a scholar is as bright as a star in the sky, unless he falls, he will never come to Jiangdong.

Seeing that the post station ahead had arrived, Zhuge Jin held Ma Liang's hand tightly while the men and horses were resting and drinking water, and said tearfully, "Ah Liang, go back! Take care of yourself! Take care of Kong Ming for me."

Ma Liang kept silent, looked around, saw a grass leaf under a tree, picked a piece, folded it up, and brought it to his mouth to play.A sharp, mournful tune resounds through the wilderness.Zhuge Jin could understand that it was the farewell song from Su Wu and Li Ling...

"Flesh and flesh are bound by branches and leaves, and friendship is also caused by each other.

The four seas are brothers, whoever is the traveler.

What's more, I am connected to a tree, and I am in the same body as the son..."

"In the past, it was mandarin ducks and ducks, but now it is a participating business.

In the past, they were similar in appearance, like Hu and Qin.

I only want to say goodbye, and the kindness is renewed day by day. "

"The deer's song thinks of weeds, which can be used as a metaphor for guests.

I have a bottle of wine, and I want to give it to someone far away.

May the son stay and think about it, and talk about this lifelong relative..."

There are three songs of Lige, each of which is more lingering and sad than the last.Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sing in harmony.The accompanying Soochow guards and the two Habayashi who came with Ma Liang were all stunned.Surprised that a small leaf can play such a moving tune.The two seem to have returned to the time when they were young and sang outside the thatched cottage in Longzhong.In the eyes of others, this situation is like going back to the ancient northern grasslands. The ancient friends are far away.

After a break from the song, Zhuge Jin said with a tearful smile: "Ah Liang, even a leaf can make you play such a tune. Could it be that Kong Ming taught you that. Kong Ming's skillful hands, rotten wood in his hands, can also become a good tune." The utensils used. A leaf can also play the sound of Hu Jia..."

Ma Liang said with a smile: "Otherwise, elder brother thinks that Brother Zun and I spent time playing in the countryside when we were young, so what did we do?" After finishing speaking, he sighed sadly: "Brother Zun and I can see each other every day. But with Brother Zun, we don't know each other. Ten years! How many days do we have to meet in this life? Liang Pin went back to be punished by His Majesty, and he wanted to reunite with his brother for a while..."

"Brother, please let Rong Liang see you off...!"

***

"Ah Liang, you are too willful."

This is an inn room close to Yiling Road. The hut is close enough to isolate the cold wind and snow in winter. Ma Liang is fiddling with the charcoal fire.

Zhuge Jin smiled and shook his head.Ma Liang said that he was seeing him off, but he reluctantly sent him ten miles and ten miles away, refusing to return to the camp.In the end, seeing that it was getting late, he simply followed him to the post station, saying that he had a rest for one night, and they could share the same bed and talk together, and they would come back tomorrow.

"Kong Ming was obedient when he was a child. He did what he was called. It's not like you."

"Brother, don't try to frighten me." Ma Liang said with a smile: "Brother Zun, when he was young, liked to play tricks on me and Youchang the most."

"Really?" Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "Ah Liang, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black... I am a good little brother, but you led me to ruin it."

"Elder brother has made a false accusation, so you have to produce evidence." Ma Liang put down the torch with a smile, and came to sit under Zhuge Jin's couch: "How can Liang have such a great ability to bring a big Han prime minister. Liang can have today, all It was taught by Brother Zun."

I saw Zhuge Jin looking at him with a smile: "I never understood. Kong Ming was such an obedient child when he was a child, but how did he become so stubborn when he grew up. You and Kong Ming, it's hard to say who led the other. Ji Chang Ah, you always persuade me to vote for His Majesty. I haven't asked you to get back my obedient brother yet."

"..." Ma Liang stared at Zhuge Jin.He thought to himself that this is their own master, maybe it is the gap between them that will never be bridged.They would have been closer than brothers had it not been for their masters.At this moment, Zhuge Jin smiled warmly, and he was completely a kind-hearted elder brother who made people want to get close and rely on him unconsciously.But he abandoned Zhuge Liang and his younger brother for the sake of Sun Quan...So, let alone Ma Liang with a different surname?He pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Back then, Brother Zun left Xiangyang City and went to work in Longzhong. I asked him, why did he have to leave? He told me that I was too naughty and pestered him so much that he couldn't stand it, so I asked him Avoid me and go to Longzhong to be clean and clean."

"Hahaha... Ah Liang, don't talk about Kong Ming. Even if I only go for four or five days every time, I can't stand being pestered by you!" Zhuge Jin laughed.

Ma Liang recalled when he was young, he couldn't help but continued with a smile: "Later, the master gave us homework, let everyone go home to watch the stars, and we will have a debate in class the next day. I made an excuse, the city is brightly lit, and it is not easy to watch the stars." .Run to Longzhong and ask Brother Zun to help me."

"I slept at brother Zun's place overnight, and set off for Xiangyang the next morning. It is conceivable that I was late. In class, the students were discussing enthusiastically, saying that the emperor's star was lost, the world was in chaos, and the emperor was lost.
