The wind and the moon

Chapter 21

When it was Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Yuxuan took his younger siblings and Shui Linglong back to the royal palace in Kyoto, and Song Yinsheng also returned home.The originally lively garden suddenly became deserted, only Mo Yun, Mei Ling, Han Shengluan and the maids who served several times remained.

In the afternoon of this day, Mo Yun was really bored, so he went for a stroll in the garden. Unknowingly, he arrived at the garden. No matter how good it is, I feel sad. I walked out of the garden, followed the stone path, and arrived at a pond. The autumn water was pulsating, and the blue waves were slight. It was the place where Yaoguan and Mengguan lived, so they stayed for a while, got up and retreated.

"Since the young master is here, why don't you sit inside?"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, Mo Yun couldn't help turning his head, but saw Meng Guan was practicing under a tree, he walked towards this side as he spoke, Mo Yun shook his head and said, "Stop sitting down."

Mengguan smiled and said, "I just thought you were bored, and wanted to listen to our singing, but it turned out not to be."

"Although I seldom listen to that drama, I also think that your singing is really better than others."

"It's just a meal, not like a young master, he is born with a good life."

Mo Yun smiled dryly, turned around and was about to leave, Meng Guan saw that he was about to leave, and said again: "My lord, have you heard the scene of "Autumn Lingdu"?"

Mo Yun was taken aback for a moment, then stopped again, shook his head, indicating no.

"Don't be busy. If you are not in a hurry, my lord, Meng Guan will tell you a paragraph, and that's all. I'll go again, my lord, okay?"

Mo Yun nodded.

Meng Guan walked up to the bridge, stood side by side with him, and said: "Wang Zian, a landed scholar, came to Qiuling Ferry, saw the surging lake, and rushed away. He thought to himself that he had failed to achieve fame for ten years, like water flowing eastward, and he couldn't help being disheartened." , gave up the idea of ​​life, so he jumped into the lake, fortunately, Du Qiuling, the daughter of the boatman, saw him, jumped into the water immediately, rescued him and came up, after a long time of persuasion, Wang Zi'an gave up his heart, saw Du Qiuling's beautiful face, and knew well He wanted to, and gradually fell in love with him, and promised that if he got fame and fame in the future, he would come to meet him. Since then, Wang Zi'an has been thinking about Du Qiuling, studying hard day and night, and finally came to the top of the high school. Then Wang Zi'an kept his promise and married Du Qiuling Who knows, there is a younger brother in Wang Zi'an's family. Seeing Du Qiuling's beauty, Wang Zijun had evil thoughts and stayed with him day and night. Finally, he couldn't hold back his feelings. He was frivolous, and afterwards he was afraid that his elder brother would blame him and that he would not be spared, so he pushed Du Qiuling into the well and drowned. When Wang Zian returned home, he saw that his wife was dead, but he was not surprised and angry. He only asked why. Eldest brother, who was in a daze, fell into the well by accident. Wang Zi'an only said that it's okay, and he can be buried alive. On the seventh day after Du Qiuling's death, Wang Zi'an married the current princess and became the emperor's east bed. "Dream When the official said this, he suddenly kept silent.

Mo Yun was impatient, so he asked: "What happened next?"

"My lord wants to know?"

Mo Yun nodded.

Mengguan said: "After getting married, I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Passing by Qiulingdu, Wang Zian took a nap in the boat. When I fell into a dream, I saw Du Qiuling turned into a water ghost and came to complain about grievances. Wang Zian knew that what she said was true. , but the heart of seeking wealth and honor made him unwilling to pay attention to these past events. Du Qiuling begged again, saying that if he did not wash away his grievances, he might be trapped in a well for life and could not be reborn. Wang Zi'an was just indifferent, Du Qiuling Sad and tearful, he said, "If you don't respond, I'm afraid my tears will flow into a tide, but Wang Zi'an still doesn't care. Suddenly, the boy in the bow was startled and shouted. Wang Zi'an woke up suddenly and saw A big tide rolled in from far away, capsizing the boat in an instant. Wang Zian fell into the water again, calling Qiu Ling to save me, but there is no second Du Qiuling to save me."

After hearing this, Mo Yun sighed unceasingly. Although it is a play, it is still human.In a daze, he only thought about Du Qiuling's tragic fate.Even the dream officer went without noticing.When I realized that I was far away, I couldn't help but think about it: why did he tell me this play?

"My lord, let me find it easier." At this time, Hua Nongying came over and said, "Sister Kang Xin came to look for you in the building, and said that Mr. Mei is afraid that you will be bored, so she told you to go and listen to the piano."

When Mo Yun heard that Mei Ling was looking for him, he was really happy, so he forgot about Mengguan's story, and hurried to Huan Rixuan.

"Kang Xin said you were not in the building, but where did you go?" Mei Ling saw him enter the room, put down the scroll, and asked.

"Just wandering around."

"What's new?"

"They're not here, everyone is lazy, what's new?"

"I composed a piece of music myself, and I ask you to listen to it." Mei Ling said, walked to the piano, and sat down slowly.

"Very good." Mo Yun followed him and sat in front of him. Hearing the playing slowly, he said while listening, "But I don't know how long they will be going."

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will be back in two days. After all, there are still the mother of the Second Young Master and the Fourth Miss in the palace, so I have to go back to celebrate the festival."

Hearing this, Mo Yun suddenly thought of Meng Yuxuan's words, "Although you don't have a mother, you still have a father. Although he is in the capital, he will definitely return one day. Thinking about it this way, he is better than me, Zhi'er, and Qi'er. Not only did we lose our mother, but we also didn’t have a father.” It was really confusing, and it was inconvenient to ask at that time, but now I couldn’t help asking: “But I don’t know, the prince, the second son, the second young lady, the third young master, and the fourth young lady, what are they? What kind of brothers and sisters."

Mei Ling sighed, and said: "The prince, the second young lady, and the third young master were born to the same mother, that is, the former Princess Yanjing. The second young master and the fourth young lady were born to the same mother, that is, the prince's aunt. Princess. The father of the former prince was ordered to encircle and suppress a remnant of the rebel army, and died in battle. Mistress Yanjing hanged herself in front of the coffin of the old prince. Mistress Yanrui was pregnant with the fourth lady at the time, not only had to take care of her second son Young master, I still have to take care of the second young lady and the third young master. Originally, the brothers and sisters only called each other according to their respective orders, but now, they all belong to Madam Yanrui. After the second young master, the third young master and the fourth young lady lined up."

After hearing this, Mo Yun also sighed deeply, and said in his heart: That is indeed the case. In this way, I am better than them.

The two talked for a while, Han Shengluan came, seeing Mo Yun here, Han Shengluan couldn't help but startled, and then said: "Are you here too?"

Mo Yun nodded and said, "Yes. Did you come to see a doctor for Brother Mei?"

Han Shengluan nodded, and said: "It's getting cloudy outside, I'm afraid it will rain at night, if it rains, I'm afraid Mr. Mei's condition will get worse, so I came here and gave him a few medicinal herbs, so that he can endure it, I have already called Kang Xin The girl is sent to the kitchen."

"Master Han, I really don't know how to thank you." Mei Ling got up and came over, and coughed again as she spoke.

"My lord entrusted me, Mr. Mei doesn't need to thank me. It's just that I can't get rid of all the diseases of the young master, so I'm very sorry."

"If Mr. Han said that, Mei Ling really wouldn't dare to bear it."

Han Shengluan smiled lightly, and said: "Mr. Mei should be used as medicine after resting. Mr. Mo hasn't been to Zhenxia Pavilion yet, right? Why don't you come and sit with me, okay?"

Knowing that he healed her injuries, Mo Yun was very grateful to him, he could not refuse his invitation, so she nodded, told Mei Ling to rest, and went with Han Shengluan.

Seeing them leaving the house, Mei Ling smiled faintly, and said to herself: Before Mo Yun's bed that day, Han Shengluan said he would take him there, but now, he really took him there.

Zhenxia Pavilion is not far from Huanrixuan, Mo Yun went out, and saw that the sky in the west was overcast, heavy, and it was about to rain, so he thought, if he went, he might not be able to come back, and later He refused, but it was difficult to speak.

Looking at his expression, Han Shengluan already understood what he meant, smiled, and said: "Why do you bother with those things? It's not raining now, just walk around, and when it's raining, wouldn't it be fun to worry about it? "

"The ancients said, plan ahead. Wouldn't it be too late to worry after it rains?" Mo Yun explained when he saw him express his thoughts.

"Not necessarily. The ancients also said that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Sometimes it is more useful to prepare it in advance than to learn and sell it now." Han Shengluan said, opened the door of the pavilion, and Mo Yun walked in. .As soon as he came in, there was a faint medicinal fragrance rushing into the tip of his nose. Although he was used to smelling sandalwood, it smelled good at first sight.

"You sit however you want. Hanxiu, serve tea."

Mo Yun looked around and saw that there were many flowers and plants planted in the pavilion, some bottles and cans were placed on several stands, a few medical books were scattered on the table, and there were many utensils that he had never seen before. He sat down on the table Beside him, he said, "It's really become a doctor's house."

Hanxiu brought tea, said "My lord, please use" and was about to go out again, Han Shengluan called her to stop, whispered something in her ear, Hanxiu nodded, and then went.

Han Shengluan said: "Mr. Mo, this tea is not an ordinary tea. There are twelve kinds of precious medicinal materials in it. Drinking it is twelve kinds of nourishment. If someone else comes, I will definitely not give it to him."

"Oh?" Mo Yun heard it, and felt curious. He opened the tea cover and felt a burst of fragrance. He smelled it again, but there was no smell. Looking down, it was just the same as the Liu'an tea he drank on weekdays. The green color of the tea is green, and there are a few leaves of tea powder at the bottom of the tea, which are like grass roots and flower stems. After taking the next sip, I want to savor it carefully, but feel that the first sip seems to have lost the sweet kiss. After taking two more sips, I feel even more bland.

Han Shengluan smiled and said, "This tea is called Yipinxiang. Do you know why?"

Mo Yun nodded and said: "Sure enough, the first grade is fragrant, the second grade is mild, and the third grade is tasteless."

"Young master is smart, it's a pity that you still have to taste it many times. The third sip is already tasteless, why bother to drink the fourth and fifth sips?"

Mo Yun was inexplicable and looked at him suspiciously.

After a while, the window lattices rattled. It turned out that there was a strong wind. Mo Yun was startled, so he sat up quickly and looked out the window.Han Shengluan said: "Young master, don't worry, I just asked Hanxiu to go to the young master's room, and said that the young master will rest in Zhenxia Pavilion tonight and will not go back."

Mo Yun was startled and said, "Stay here and rest? How about it?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Even if you want to go now, you'll have to catch up with the rain. Young Master's injury hasn't healed yet. I'm afraid it will get worse after getting wet. It's the same with me."

Mo Yun sighed helplessly, another gust of wind blew in through the window, followed by a flash of lightning, followed by a muffled thunder, crackling, and heavy rain fell.Hanxiu entered the house, put away the umbrella, closed the window, and said, "My lord, the food is ready in the outer room."

Han Shengluan invited Mo Yun to sit down and have dinner together.Mo Yun only heard that it was raining heavily outside, and sometimes thunder and lightning flashed. It was really scary, and he felt full after only a few mouthfuls.Seeing that he didn't eat, Han Shengluan only frowned secretly in the light, with a deep resentment, very charming, he was stunned for a while, and forgot about the food.

The two sat at the desk and said something else.Mo Yun always felt embarrassed, and his words were not as natural as before.After another cup of tea, the thunder and rain subsided, but the patter continued.

Han Shengluan said: "The autumn wind and autumn rain come to the end of the sky."

Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, then he knew that he had uttered a broken poem, he changed his mind, and continued: "The wind and rain shake Zhuge."

"Why can't I sleep when the long lamp is already in a coma?"

"I'm afraid that the heart of autumn is autumn."

"Tomorrow's sunset is as red as if it's full?"

"Picked up a stalk of love."

"Tomorrow will be full of yellows and yellows?"

"Sweep a piece to welcome the king."

"Qiuyan has gone outside the cold mountain."

"The pulse of autumn water is still there."

"What are the characters in the fish letter?"

"Autumn wind and autumn rain are full of autumn flowers."
