The etiquette is light when you come, but the affection is heavy when you leave.
Under the premise that the governor of Zhangwu County intentionally leaked information, the people of the entire nine counties of Zhangwu knew the great news that "the special envoy from the capital will welcome Gongsun's eldest daughter into the palace."
The next day, special envoy Lu Ling led his troops back to Beijing, and the farewell scene was even more enthusiastic than the reception scene when they arrived. Before dawn, wealthy merchants from all over the country gathered at the gate of the county governor's house in the name of "rewarding the soldiers". They were all wearing gold and silver. Some were carrying Zhangwu specialties, and some were wearing gold and silver. , there are those who submit famous paintings.
Even though Fan Tingnan had given repeated orders yesterday not to give gifts and move around, there was still little improvement. After all, whether you give it away and whether they receive it are two different things. If they could leave an impression in the heart of Lu Ling, the emperor's favorite, they would not hesitate to lose everything.
Compared with the Sheriff's Mansion, the Gongsun Mansion, which is about to send his daughter out of the cabinet, seems much more polite. Most of the people who came to see him off were petty officials, cheap men and friends, and they only sent some food, clothing, and supplies. The emperor's harem and three thousand beauties all welcomed the young envoy Gongsun who had an unknown future. The attitude of waiting and watching, first send the love, and then send the gift another day.
It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune. Gongsun Qiaomu did not say much about this, but patiently entertained them one by one.
In the Sutra Collection Pavilion, Liu Yi and Gongsun Ling sat and looked at each other. The two cups of tea on the table were hot and then cold, and then hot again. Both of them knew that the friendship of book friends for more than ten months was over today, and they were going to go there. For the rest of their lives, they didn't know if they would meet again, so they both cherished the remaining few moments.
"Sister is leaving today, brother, don't be alone!"
Gongsun Ling suddenly stopped stuttering. She opened her red lips lightly, smoothed her green hair, and whispered in a low voice. Her eyes were calm. She seemed to have expected that this day would come to her.
After spending half a month together, the two became friends through literature and had a great time chatting. Looking at the handsome young man who was four years younger than him, Gongsun Ling had a special feeling in her heart that "it's rare to have a close friend". This was different from a beauty, but also Rather than a brother-sister relationship, they are more like confidants. In her opinion, Liu Yi is smart and honest, brave and upright, lively and self-restrained, and his future achievements will be far greater than his second brother who has high eyesight and third brother who is wise but not aware.
"Sister is leaving today, don't be alone!"
Liu Yi repeated Gongsun Ling's words, but the meaning was different.
Today we say goodbye. Gongsun Ling has left her hometown and lived alone in the palace. Not to mention the intrigues, just the loneliness of having no friends and no relatives in the middle of the night is enough to make people heartbroken and dejected.
He finally understood her loneliness and unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do!
The two were silent for a long time, "Sister, for the benefit of the family, is it necessary to give up a lifetime of happiness?"
Gongsun Ling said helplessly, "It's not easy for grandma to raise the three of us."
Liu Yi bowed his head, the most difficult thing in the world to repay is love debt.
"How can you have both the horse in the north and the apricot blossom and mist in the south! You can't be too greedy, right? Since you have chosen wealth and glory and the revitalization of your family, you have to give up your freedom and mood." Gongsun Ling picked up the teacup and hesitated. There was no entrance in the end, and he murmured, "After I leave, I don't know if I can come back again. After I say goodbye, I don't know if we can meet again. My brother Liu Yi, do you have anything else to say?"
Although Liu Yi has not experienced such human affairs, he understands it from the book, "The night is quiet and cold, the cold wind has come, there is no way to avoid it. I hope that my sister will not be honored when she gains someone, and she will not be humiliated when she loses someone. She will be wise and protect herself, and have a good life." !”
Liu Yi picked up the tea cup, cupped it on the front and back of his chest, and drank it all in one gulp, as if saying his last goodbyes, "If I'm lucky enough in the future, I can go to Chang'an to open a Wangnan Tower or find an official position, I will definitely find my sister to sit down and discuss the truth! You My brother and sister, let’s continue our book relationship.”
Outside the pavilion, the maid's urgings became more and more frequent. Gongsun Ling gently trimmed her green hair, fine-tuned her phoenix hairpin, gave Liu Yi a blessing, turned around and left, no sign of joy or sorrow.
The bigger the family, the more rules, more helplessness, more joys and sorrows, and more separations.
When Xiao Manan went in and out of Zhangwu, Gongsun's eyebrows were full of resentment.
The spring breeze wipes away the coldness of the mountain air, and Chang'an lies drunk and dreams of lotuses.
...
After a lot of excitement in the city, Lu Ling led the cavalry farther and farther away. When they were about to enter the Lingyuan Mountains, he turned around and looked back. The people greeting him had dispersed, and a person could be seen vaguely on the top of the city. He was not tall. Among the officials in the six counties and nineteen counties he passed through, he had never seen the dark skin tanned by working in the fields for a long time.
Lu Ling sighed softly, "A person like Fan Tingnan should be able to leave his name in history!"
Afterwards, he thought to himself and said, "That day, His Majesty said, 'Everywhere can make mistakes, but not this Lingyuan.' After thinking about it, I thought it was undoubtedly Liu Quansheng and his son. It seems that Your Majesty has a deep affection for Liu Quansheng. , is still regarded as a minister of Pythagorean! It’s strange, as far as I know, Liu Quan was born without a wife, how could he have a son? It seems that after going back, he will go to the Wencheng Hall of Zongzheng Mansion! "
...
In mid-March, after all the necessary agricultural equipment including a sowing columbine, a double-length plow, and an iron-tipped hoe were ready, Han Li dismissed his disciples without taking any of Fan Tingnan's reward.
After many years of traveling around the world, Han Li was a little tired. He thought that this should be his last time traveling around the world.
After Zhang Wu's service, he prepared to return to Xiaojun, Muzhou, the home of the Mohist family, planning to write a book and biography, concentrate on trivial matters, and cultivate future generations.
Before leaving, everyone saw him off in the west of Zhangwu City. On this day, Han Li answered a question, made a comment, and took away a young man.
One of the questions he answered was: Throughout ancient times and modern times, scribes have always reached the peak of their cultivation and have never been able to drive away birds. Liu Yi drove the birds to help me that day. It was probably because the old man named Cheng from the Lingyuan Mountains used the wonderful method of "Arctic True Man" to inject his life's thoughts into Liu Yi's body. Qi can transform into each other, but thoughts perish when a person dies and cannot be transferred to others. Unexpectedly, the change of heaven and earth, the coincidence of chance, "steal" people's thoughts in one fell swoop, Yi'er is the first, and perhaps, the last!
One of his comments was: Seven years ago, when Han passed by Lingyuan, Liu Quansheng was looking for me with Yi'er in his arms. I commented for Yi'er that "Everywhere in the world is your home." Misfortune comes from the mouth. This is actually a leak of heaven's secrets. In other words, I was also punished by heaven and stayed in the realm of imperial arts for ten full years!
This motto confused everyone, but the experienced Dongfang Chunsheng read a different meaning in it. However, he remained tight-lipped and told no one.
Han Li took Gongsun Haojin away. If Dongfang Chunsheng hadn't refused, Han Li had planned to take these two weird children away together. He wanted to accept Gongsun Haojin as a closed disciple and teach him carefully. You will have a successful career in the future.
...
At the top of Zhangwu City, Gongsun Qiaomu and Gongsun Ba stood on the city tower, watching the group go away.
Gongsun Qiaomu stretched his waist more and more bent to look into the distance, until the figures of Han Li and Gongsun Haojin turned into small dots and gradually disappeared, then he sighed, "Young people are weak and need Ling Han to bloom; for the great task of rejuvenation, we need to There are successors. One in the harem, one in the world, and one at home, that’s great!”
If Dongfang Chunsheng or Han Li heard this, they would definitely admire Dongfang Qiaomu's deep scheming, which is admirable.
Gongsun Ba didn't understand his grandmother's good intentions, but he said angrily, "My grandmother was biased and let my sister go to the palace to enjoy the blessings, and let my brother follow the gods in the upper realm to learn supreme magical powers, leaving me alone to guard the incomplete family property. , hum, you are not nice to Baer at all."
After saying that, Gongsun Ba ran down the tower angrily and was submerged in the sea of people without looking back.
Looking at the figures leaving the city and outside the city, Gongsun Qiaomu leaned on his crutches and smiled, "The Gongsun family has given it to you, old lady, I am a little partial!"
In the distance, Han Li and Gongsun Haojin were walking and chatting.
Han Li bathed in the spring breeze and smiled at Gongsun Haojin and said, "Haojin, I have a eldest disciple Deng Qiu, and you are my second disciple and also the closed disciple. Now, you are following me to practice cultivation. Although you are free and comfortable, you are also a closed disciple. You must obey the teacher's orders and practice hard. Being a teacher does not ask you to become a saint, but you and Deng Qiu must carry forward the Mohist family's universal love, do you understand?"
Gongsun Haojin still carried the Huanshou sword on his side and tied a green cloth scarf around his waist, but he changed into cloth clothes, which made him look more unique. As soon as Han Li finished speaking, Gongsun Haojin pouted, "At home, I am the third child, but this time, I am the youngest again!"
"Hahaha!" Han Li did not answer, but looked back at Zhangwu County. The beautiful figures of Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu appeared in his heart, and sighed, "Dragon among people, phoenix among people, what a pair. Hit the dragon and phoenix!"
...
In a blink of an eye, winter turns to spring and it is already the end of March.
There was a scream outside Zhangwu City, and the red-feathered golden eagle flew back from the east of the city. Liu Yi, dressed in white and with a light stubble on his chin, looked at the letter brought back by the golden eagle and stood behind the small window of the Sutra Pavilion. He looked around the attic with nostalgia and sighed, "It's time to go!"
After everyone packed up, they set off the next day and continued northward to start the next leg of their journey.
At this time, in the northern section of the Lingyuan Mountains, the young man Fu Wen, who had passed by Liu Yi and others at the city gate that day, was riding a big insect, running northward.
Fu Wen was clad in carvings and fur, his muscles were thick and solid, and there was strong hatred in his eyes.
Behind the young man, there are countless tigers, leopards and jackals!
