When Wu Jin arrived in Kyoto, there was a moderate snowfall in Kyoto.
Students rushing to take exams from all over the country flocked to Kyoto and rented houses. The closer they were to Gongyuan, the more expensive the rent was. There was a plaque hanging outside the house where the number one scholar had been awarded, which read: "The lucky place for the number one scholar is a thousand dollars a day." "
There are also those who are short of money, so they can only rent a house far away from Gongyuan, which is still in the city. It is convenient to make friends, participate in literary conferences to solve problems, and buy tabloids to read the current situation. Spring is approaching, and it seems out of date to continue to work behind closed doors.
Wu Jin went into the city for a trip, then left the city, looking for a place to rent a house alone outside the city, and finally lived in Yunyang Taoist Temple with a rent of 100 yuan a month.
Yunyang Taoist Temple is clean and clean. The three Taoist priests are well versed in Taoism and are well versed in the natural way of Taoism. The weeds in the courtyard are allowed to grow, the stone slabs are broken at will, the roof tiles are sliding down, there is a gust of wind, a gust of rain, a gust of snow, and wild cats and dogs are entering. , Swallows also enter, it is extremely natural.
Wu Jin took things as they came. On the first day he moved in, he dug a path through the weeds with a hoe, set up a ladder, covered the intact tiles, and bought some clear paper to paper the windows.
Although the three worldly masters believed that "if there is a gap between heaven and earth in life, it will happen suddenly" and there is no need to be rigid, but seeing Wu Jin's diligence, they turned Wu Jin's rent money into three coins a month.
Yunyang Taoist Temple is already so natural, and the halls and pavilions are naturally not much bigger. From the mountain gate, there are only the Jade Emperor Hall, the Siyu Hall, and the Sanqing Hall. At Yin time every day, the three Taoist priests do mystical work in the Sanqing Hall. Morning class.
On the second day after moving in, Wu Jin also got up early. He stood outside the Sanqing Hall and listened to the three Taoist priests reciting: "Linlang is vibrating, the ten directions are clear, the rivers and seas are silent, and the mountains swallow smoke. All spirits are subdued." "
After listening to a clear rhyme, he walked to the bronze tripod outside the Jade Emperor's Palace, recited "The Great Learning", and then returned to the house to spread paper and write letters.
At the end of the line, he raised his hand and wrote: "My son, Wu Jin, respectfully bows down to his parents."
Thinking about the words Wu Yi knew, he tried to be as concise as possible: "My son has arrived in Beijing safely in early November and lives in Yunyang Taoist Temple, Yuntai County, Kyoto. He is well fed and studying hard. I hope that my parents will be healthy and my family will be safe. More than half of the time." Yue, I’ll write again.”
He put the letter aside carefully and waited for the ink to dry. Then he spread out a piece of bamboo paper and gently put down the pen.
"Leaf."
With so many thoughts on his mind, he sorted them out in his mind before continuing to write: "I have arrived in Beijing. Kyoto is bustling with people, thousands of lights, and three cities with nine thoroughfares, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass.
Strangely, the wind from Kuanzhou never blew in here at all. The war stopped at Baozhai and Kuanzhou. No one mentioned it or talked about it. Everything was fine.
I originally wanted to describe the scenery in the city one by one, but when I was walking in it, I suddenly broke in like a villager in the mountains. I felt uncomfortable everywhere. I didn't take a closer look. Instead, I saw a vendor selling sugar. Some of the sugar was used for Zezhou glutinous rice and wine. , hollow in the middle, covered with sesame seeds on the outside, chewing it full of flavor, which has never been seen in Kuanzhou.
bought.
I live in the Yunyang Taoist Temple in Yuntai County outside the city. The place is clean and the three Taoist priests work diligently in the morning and evening without slacking off. After hearing this, I fell in love with this sentence: "The rivers and seas are silent, and the mountains swallow smoke."
I haven't heard the sound of the xun for a long time, and I miss it very much. "
The wind from Kyoto spread to Kuanzhou along with two letters and two packets of sugar. One was sent to the Wu family, the other to the Mo family, and then sent to Baozhai from Yinbei.
At the end of November, the Shuo River in Kuanzhou City was frozen, the fortress was covered with heavy snow, and the wind was sad everywhere, intruding into the heart. This time of year is the time for a truce.
In Gaoping Village, there were great changes in the army. Most of the Zhenrong Army was lost. Mo Lingfeng suddenly emerged and occupied a small part of Gaoping Village. The place where he lived was turned into a small courtyard with two entrances.
Mo Lingfeng nestled in her courtyard and opened the oil paper package. Zezhou dumplings had been broken into pieces during the long journey. She picked up three pieces and threw them into her mouth, eating while reading the letter.
After reading it, she felt a surge of happiness in her heart, which made her quietly raise her lips, but she had nowhere to share it. She could only take out the xun, sit at the table, and play a tune while whimpering.
Her house was originally the residence of the commander of the Right Route Army. She has lived here since the Right Route Army was completely wiped out. In the front yard lived the Nomad Qing and several soldiers. In the back was the study room on the left and Yin Nan's residence on the right. .
The sound of xun passed through Duobao Pavilion by the door, ran into the yard, and then jumped from the yard to the front yard. At this time, all the soldiers in the front yard found excuses to go out for a walk.
Nomad Qing, the commander of the personal soldiers, could not leave, so he could only stop and listen. After listening for a long time, he could hear a hint of interest.
The silly little Dou stuck his big head in from the outside: "Is the girl attracting ghosts again?"
Nomad Qing immediately glared at him: "Stop farting."
"That's right, ghosts are not willing to listen." Xiao Dou frowned, stepped over the threshold with two feet, walked in, and stood there, waiting for the sound of the xun to stop, so that he could go to find Yin Nan.
He wholeheartedly wanted to build a love nest with Yin Nan. When Yin Nan saw him, he would always be murderous and would tell him to go away. Only then will you be filled with rage and steam. What is this if not love?
Nomad Qing was almost fooled to death by Xiao Dou, and one time he couldn't help but talk about it to Mo Lefeng. Who would have thought that Mo Lefeng thought Xiao Dou and Yin Nan were very suitable for each other.
He was dumbfounded at the time: "How did you see that the two of them are compatible?"
Mo Lingfeng, on the other hand, had a straight face and answered seriously: "Little Dou is short-sighted, and Yin Nan is short-tempered. Aren't they a good match?"
Qing Nomad's jaw dropped in shock, but gradually, he thought that Mo Lingfeng was right. The two of them were indeed a match. They both had brain problems. It was best to cultivate into a good person and stop harming others.
At this time, Yin Nan was washing Mo Lingfeng's clothes and turned a deaf ear to the sound of the xun. Instead, she heard Xiao Dou's voice. She felt annoyed and the clothes made a "sting" sound and split into two pieces in her hands.
She also calculated this debt on Xiao Dou's head, put the clothes on the bamboo poles, and prepared to dry them before taking them back to the city - this was also the nanny's order. It can be bad, but it cannot be less.
After drying, she turned her wrist and strode to chase Xiao Dou. Xiao Dou just couldn't bear the sound of the xun, so he followed the trend and was kicked out by Yin Nan. At the same time, he forced Yin Nan to see the scenery.
Nomad Qing sneered at the two of them, and "tsk tsk" twice. He returned to the house and took out a piece of dried meat, tearing it into pieces and eating it while listening to the music.
Mo Lingfeng kept blowing, which made his mouth dry and his cheeks hurt, so he wiped the xun and put it down.
She turned to the dressing table behind the screen. There was a polished bronze mirror from Huzhou on it. Her eyebrows were slightly bold. She looked at the mirror, opened her mouth "Ah" and leaned forward. , eyes widened, looking carefully at the teeth in his mouth.
There is still a small black spot on the lower left tooth, but it doesn't hurt or itch, and it doesn't smell like a moth.
She shut her mouth, walked back to the table, and continued to eat Zezhou glutinous rice. After finishing all she could hold, there was only a handful of crumbs left.
Seeing that there was no one around, she held the wax paper and sugar in her hand, brought one corner to her mouth, opened her mouth wide, tilted her head back, and poured the crumbs into her mouth.
