Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 458 is far away from the rivers and lakes, high in the temple

"Why did you mention Jinzhou all of a sudden?" Li Xuanye was also taken aback.

Gorgeous fireworks lit up the night sky, and countless lanterns floated in the water.

"Have you forgotten? I grew up in Jinzhou!" Zhao Xi lifted up her skirt slightly and sat down by the boat. The breeze from the pool blew into her shoes and socks, bringing a little bit of refreshing coolness. Let her shrink the toe of her shoe.

Jinzhou has her childhood memories and her mother's grave.

Chang'an has her father, but it is not her hometown.

Shen Yuqing died in the countryside of Jinzhou, and was buried in Qinglu Mountain, south of Chang'an and north of Jinzhou, according to her last wish.

Jinzhou is not far from Chang'an, and Kuaima is only a day's journey away.

"Wei'er is homesick?" Li Xuanye also sat down, picked up the corner of her flying skirt with one hand, pressed it on her knee, and said casually: "When the weather is better in spring, I'll take you to see it! "He stroked her hair that was blown by the night wind, and said softly: "If you learn how to ride a horse, it will be more convenient to visit if you want to. Let's pick the best Chollima, and we can go back and forth in half a day."

"Okay!" The last trace of sadness in Zhao Xiwei's heart was comforted by him. She leaned her head halfway on his shoulder, listening to the laughter in her ears and watching the sky full of fireworks, she suddenly felt that she was Is the luckiest man in the world.

"Although I grew up in Jinzhou, I have only been to Jinzhou City once..." She spoke softly and calmly, "When I was four or five years old, my mother was going to see a Old man..."

That day was also New Year's Eve, the old man was dressed in green clothes, with a bronze sword on his waist, his brows were warm and streamlined, and his smile was restrained but full of warmth, which made her want to get closer involuntarily.

He smiled and hugged her, his tone full of regret and pity: "Qing'er, if you can trust me, give the child to me. I already have two apprentices, and if she passes away, she will have a playmate... "

Shen Yuqing rolled up his sleeves, put them on the table for him to take a pulse, and said in a calm tone: "What you said, I am only sick but not dead. My own child, even if I have only one breath left, I can't give it to you. Give it to someone else, let alone you to raise it, I don’t feel at ease even if it is him.”

Little Zhao Xi raised his face slightly and asked curiously, "Who is he?"

Shen Yuqing and the man looked at each other, then said with a smile: "He, he is a friend of mother's."

Zhao Xi shook his head slightly: "I'm not asking this him, but that him."

The man opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Shen Yuqing switched hands to check the pulse again: "Isn't the him that Wei'er said this? The one that mother said is that one. I don't know which one you want to ask?"

Zhao Xiwei was immediately drawn in, looked at Shen Yuqing and thought for a long time, before he wanted to say, "The one I asked is not the one in front of me", that person had already diagnosed Shen Yuqing.

I don't know what he explained, Shen Yuqing, who was always as calm as water, suddenly had a little water in his eyes.

Zhao Xiwei remembered very clearly that his mother squatted down, hugged her, and hugged her fiercely in her arms, as if wishing to rub her into her belly, her tone was firm and resolute: "Whoever it is , no one can take you away from my mother! You are my mother's heart, as long as my mother is alive, I must personally take care of you to grow up, no one can take you away, unless my mother dies It's..."

The man seemed very unbearable, turned his back and said in a low tone, "Qing'er, why are you doing this..."

He hired a car and sent their mother and daughter back in person.

When he was parting, he took another bag from his body and weighed it. There was a sound of broken silver. He glanced at the mother and daughter lovingly, and threw the money bag over: "Take care, so you can take care of yourself."

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, sighed, finally turned around, turned back again, squatted down in front of her, rubbed the top of her hair lovingly, and said in a low voice: "My surname is Liu, Mingjishan. If Wei'er encounters any difficulties in the future, remember to go to Jiangzhou to find me!"

He obviously knew that Shen Yuqing would not look for him, and he also obviously knew that Zhao Xiwei would definitely encounter difficulties in the future.

Thinking about it now, maybe he already knew that Shen Yuqing would not live long, right?
It's just that Zhao Xiwei didn't go to him, because after Shen Yuqing told the whole story, she chose to ask her biological father for help.

As for Niangqin, a friend who only met once, it was also sealed in the memory.

"Liu Jishan?" Li Xuanye's expression turned serious, "I remember that Gu Hansu's master's surname is Liu, and his first name is Jishan..."

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised: "So, Doctor Gu and I almost became brothers and sisters?"

Li Xuanye frowned again, and said slowly: "In the past, your grandfather's disciples were all over the world, and those who taught them were all talented in the court. I have never heard of people from the world—"

Being far away from the rivers and lakes and high in the temple, the two are like two worlds, black and white, and it is difficult to have any intersection.

If the courtiers make friends with people from the rivers and lakes, it is an even more sinful crime to be suppressed.

Zhao Xiwei was a little stunned: "I heard that he has been living in seclusion. Could it be that he changed his name?"

Li Xuanye smiled, as if unwilling to talk more, said lightly: "Maybe."

Zhao Xiwei felt a "bang" in his heart, inexplicably feeling that this kind of him was a little strange.

He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lingxi trotted over with the lanterns in his arms: "Brother and sister-in-law, let's go release the river lanterns!"

While speaking, he put three lanterns on the table.

The lantern is exquisite and lovely, and it is made into the shape of a lotus flower. It seems that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Li Xuanye asked: "Where did you get it?"

Lingxi raised her chin and smiled triumphantly: "Here, it's from the old woman selling lanterns across the street! But I didn't take advantage of the old man for nothing, I gave her a piece of silver!"

Then he stuffed an ink pen into Zhao Xiwei's hand, and said coquettishly, "Making a wish here is really effective, sister-in-law, write down your wish!"

"Really?" Zhao Xi accepted the pen with a slight smile, but he didn't know how to put it down.

She doesn't believe in gods, let alone that wishes can come true.

Many years ago, when Shen Yuqing's illness relapsed, she prayed to the gods countless times, but none of them came true.

If heaven really has eyes, how could there be so many life and death in the world?

Lingxi lay down beside the table, held his chin in his hands and meditated for a while, then wrote down his wish, then knelt down at the bow of the boat holding the lantern, and carefully put the whole lantern into the water.

The small lamp swayed along the water and drifted into the distance.

Lingxi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a pious wish.

Zhao Xiwei looked at her quietly, wondering why he was also raised by the emperor himself, how could His Highness the Crown Prince be so calm and prudent, without such ignorant naivety at all?

Just as he was thinking about it, the "calm and prudent" Crown Prince held the ink pen, spread out the white rice paper, picked up the pen, wrote down the numbers, rolled it up, and handed over the lantern: "Take it and put it away."
