"Woo~wu~wu~wuwu..."
"Woo~wu~wu~wuwu..."
A partridge screamed in the treetop, as if it was summoning something, but also seemed to be trying to retain something. The sound stopped at the top of the tree, which was very sad.
Mei Yuanchen was dreaming that her mother was taking her to plant a sapling in the backyard of her house in Qingxi. It was a small phoebe. Her mother said to herself warmly that in the future, when the sapling grows, it will be stronger than iron and its cover will be stronger than iron. Like an umbrella, standing upright against the sky, it can protect you from wind and rain and keep you safe. Mei Yuanchen asked suspiciously, "Mother, the child has the protection of his parents. What do you need this nanmu protection for?" His mother looked at him with a smile and remained silent. When I was about to ask again, I heard "Woo~wu~wu~wuwu..." a whine in my ears, and I suddenly woke up.
Mei Yuanchen sat up from the bed and felt a dull pain in his left arm. I remembered that on the way back to the room after dinner last night, I bumped into Grandpa Yun, and my left forearm touched the tip of Grandpa Yun's elbow. My whole body was sore and numb, and I felt dizzy. I had to go to bed slowly, and I fell into a deep sleep before I woke up. In the middle of winter, the sky is dull all day long, and it is difficult to tell the difference between morning and evening. As usual, Haitang would come to wake her up early at the beginning of the day. Now that she had not come yet, it was still early to come. Mei Yuanchen thought about it and suddenly remembered that Haitang had become his adopted sister. Haha, it was really great. .
Mei Yuanchen remembered what Fu Sui had said, that a few seconds later, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs would come to pick him up in a chariot with three horses and eight trigrams. He remembered that he had just recognized the Jaw King family as adoptive parents and adopted brothers and sisters last night. After the separation, everyone in the palace was very kind to me, but at the moment I felt really reluctant to let go, but there was nothing I could do about it. Mei Yuanchen made some calculations and realized that it was almost time to pay tribute, so he went to bid his adoptive parents and siblings an early farewell. When he was walking outside the door, he saw a girl in white standing about ten feet away in the courtyard with her head bowed and her back to him. Who could it be if it wasn't Haitang?
Mei Yuanchen felt extremely happy to have this childhood sweetheart and adopted sister. He approached Haitang and asked with a smile, "Good sister, why are you standing here? Just come in and call me. What's the big deal before the time comes?"
"Sir, please don't make fun of me again, it's so uncomfortable to hear." Haitang replied with a red face and choked with sobs.
Only then did Mei Yuanchen see tears in Haitang's eyes, and the tear stains on her pink face were still wet. She immediately became anxious and reached out to wipe them away. She felt that Haitang's face was as cold as ice, and she was even more anxious. He said anxiously, "Good Haitang, what's wrong? Really? I was wrong, I just want to apologize!"
Haitang raised her head and looked at Mei Yuanchen, crying even more sadly. Mei Yuanchen and Haitang have been together since childhood. She knows that Haitang has always been gentle and kind, and will never compete with her because of this little joke. She kept sobbing like this. She thought it was because of other reasons, and she intuitively felt that something important had happened. I felt uneasy for a while. He ran to his parents' room and shouted, "Dad" and "Mother", but there was no response. After knocking on the door for dozens of times, no one came. He was about to turn around and go to Grandpa Yun's room to ask, but he saw Haitang running to follow him. She wiped her tears with silk silk and said intermittently, "Master, please don't look for me and my wife. They have been gone for a long time." ”
This shock was no small matter. Mei Yuanchen felt his heart tightening, his vision went dark, he was top-heavy, and he was about to fall down when he staggered. Haitang hurriedly came to help him. After a few breaths, Mei Yuanchen calmed down a little, calmed down, gently pushed Haitang away, and ran wildly outside, tears streaming down his face along the way. Haitang knew that he was heartbroken, so she didn't dare to be careless, so she tried her best to catch up.
He didn't know how many corridors and paths he walked through, or how many servants or guards he bumped into. Along the way, Mei Yuanchen only hoped to reach the gate as soon as possible, but now he actually arrived at the gate and looked at the unfamiliar streets around him. In the streets and alleys, I didn't know where to look, and a sense of fear came from my scalp like an electric wave.
At this time, Haitang had also arrived. Seeing Mei Yuanchen standing not far away, she felt a little relieved. She stopped and took a deep breath, raising her head and staring closely, with an expression on her face that hid worry but pity. With his breath gradually calming down and his strength slightly restored, Haitang slowly approached Yuan Chen and stood next to him. However, she felt very distressed when she saw that his eyes were red, his lips were trembling slightly, his expression was dull, and his expression was gloomy. The two stood there for a long time, and Haitang felt really uneasy, so she stretched out her hand to tug at the corner of his clothes and called out softly, "Sir!" Mei Yuanchen was in a trance, as if unaware, when he heard a gentle and familiar voice. A voice sounded beside him, and he slowly came back to his senses. Seeing Haitang with tears on her face and looking at her anxiously, she couldn't bear it, so she forced a smile and shed tears before she finished laughing. Haitang took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, handed it over with both hands, and said to Yuanchen, "This is the letter that Master and Madam left for you. Please read it." Mei Yuanchen reached out to take it, and saw that the cover The mother's handwriting read: "My son Yuanchen personally writes this." There was no paint on the envelope, so Mei Yuanchen took it out and looked at it:
Far away from my son:
When I read this letter, my parents were already far away, so don’t chase them.
The capital city is a place of great learning. My son will obey the prince's arrangements and quietly pursue knowledge without worrying about his parents.
As a child, you should pay homage to your righteous parents, serve the prince and princess with filial piety, serve the prince and princess as a brother-in-law, and treat uncles and uncles in the palace with respect.
Haitang and your sister, you can tell and listen to your thoughts. You two should support each other and love each other. If you encounter any difficulties, let the prince know. If it is really inconvenient, write to your parents as soon as possible.
My parents love you and cherish you more deeply than the mountains and seas. However, if your love is deep, you should plan for the future. I hope you will succeed in your studies as soon as possible, serve the court, and relieve the sufferings of the people.
My son has a kind heart and is kind to others. However, if he encounters injustice, he should be strong and resolute without any hesitation.
There are experts in the royal palace and teaching positions, and their martial arts are outstanding, so you should work hard. When you go out, you should not be without weapons, so please remember this.
Although the parents are not around, the child's daily diet and daily life should not be neglected.
The son is smart and has the protection of the prince, so everything will go smoothly. The parents are not worried, and the son does not miss his parents.
I received a letter on the first day of every month, telling my parents about everything.
Mei Yuanchen read every word of the letter. Now that he knew that his parents had left him to travel far away, and that his parents' voices and faces were always lingering in his mind, it was difficult to control himself. Tears welled up again. He suddenly raised his head, hugged her tightly and stood there all the time. The girl beside me said softly, "Haitang, now you are the only one here with me!"
