Then Yun Jiang complained again: "It's true that Brother Bobi lives well in the palace, but he has to move to a place where ghosts don't lay eggs. Is it my sister that I have offended you?"
Dou Bobi said hurriedly: "What did my sister say? You, uncle Jun, and aunt were so kind and caring to Bobi mother and son, which made Bobi burst into tears with gratitude..."
Yun Jiang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and quickly covered his mouth, looked at him with eyes full of resentment, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm tired of hearing such words as mountains of kindness, great love, and tears of gratitude! Don’t you feel awkward after being here for so long and always being so polite?”
Dou Bobi said: "What I said is the truth..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Duke Yun coming this way. Dou Bobi hurriedly went over and saluted: "Bobi, see you, Uncle Jun!"
Duke Yun was startled at first, and then said: "Is it Bo Bi? Why haven't you come to see me for so many days? I am not telling you that you live well in the palace, but you want to move to the mountains and old forests... Yes I'm here, let's see who dares to do something to you? Bobby, you came at the right time. I want to hear your opinion on something, please come with me..."
When they came to the harem, Yun Guozheng said: "In the years from your father Chu Ruoao to Chu Xiao'ao, Chu and Yun have lived in harmony and have been repaired for many years. In the years since Chu Jun Xiong Suan ascended the throne, the relationship between Chu and Yun has not It is worse than before. Especially in recent years, Chu and Yun have not only cut off contact with each other, Xiong Zhen has the tendency to annex small neighboring countries. The surrounding Luo, Jiu, and Sui countries sent envoys to ask us, Yun, to form an alliance with other countries Alliance to fight against Chu together. The state of Jiao once proposed to attack Danyang when the state of Chu was advancing westward and the country was empty. For this matter, the ministers were divided into several factions. Some advocated an alliance to send troops, some advocated an alliance but did not advocate sending troops, and some advocated an alliance but did not advocate sending troops. Those who do not advocate an alliance cannot agree on one thing, and I can’t make up my mind at the moment. Can you help me think about it, what should I do?”
Seeing that Duke Yun valued him so much, Dou Bobi mused: "Chu is Bobi's homeland, and Yun is Bobi's mother-in-law's country. From an emotional point of view, Bobi naturally hopes that the two countries will live in harmony and be reconciled forever. . From a realistic point of view, Chu and Yun have been cut off from contact for some years. If the Chu State is not to be bullied by the Zhou Dynasty and the princes of the Central Plains, there is no other way except self-improvement, so the road is blue and blue, and the Mountains and forests, striving for strength will be the consistent strategy of Chu State. Through the efforts of several generations of kings, Chu State has finally become a big and powerful country in the south. As far as the current national strength of Chu State is concerned, even if these countries unite to compete with Chu State, they will not be able to compete with Chu State. It must be the opponent of Chu State, let alone using force with Chu State. At present, Chu State is expanding to its surrounding areas. Jiao State is closest to Chu and its relationship with Chu State is also very tense. If Chu State wants to expand, it must first Let’s take action against the Jiao State. The Jiao State also came to lobby the other countries for its own interests. From these two points, it is okay for the Yun State to form an alliance with other countries, but it must not be tempted by the Jiao people to send troops to attack Chu, otherwise it will be self-inflicted. Perish!"
Duke Yun said again: "In your opinion, what should I do?"
Dou Bobi said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, although Yun State and Chu State have broken off diplomatic relations for many years, Chu State's strategy is still to stabilize the west, and Yun State is in the northeast of Chu State and is not within the scope of Chu State's expansion. Therefore, , it is impossible to pose a threat to Yun for the time being. Bobi believes that the current main policy of Yun State is to actively seek and improve relations with Chu State. However, since the conditions for reconciliation with Chu State are not yet mature at the moment, it is necessary to maintain good relations with neighboring countries. Friendly and good-neighborly relations are still very necessary, but especially we cannot confront the Chu State. If we grasp this point, the Yun State will be safe."
What Dou Bobi said made Duke Yun sincerely convinced. He nodded frequently and praised repeatedly: "The words of my virtuous nephew made me enlightened. If my virtuous nephew can contribute to the revitalization of our country, I, Yun." The generals of the country are as powerful as a tiger, no less than Tang Yiyin of Shang Dynasty, and King Wen of Zhou Dynasty met his son Ya! My virtuous nephew, it is better to move back with your mother!"
Dou Bobi said: "Uncle Jun said that, I am so ashamed of Bo Bi! How dare Bo Bi compare with those sages? Besides, Bo Bi already cares about Linquan. I hope Uncle Jun will forgive me!"
After leaving Yuncheng, Dou Bobi used the money from selling prey to buy grain, rice, oil and salt. Yun Ji said: "The palace has just sent someone to bring some food, rice and other items. My son, these things are enough for us two to use for a few days. You don't need to work so hard anymore. Take a good rest for a few days!"
Dou Bobi said: "Mom, as the saying goes, Chai Duomi is not blessed with many days. If I can earn more points now, I won't have to worry about winter, don't you think so?"
Early the next morning, Doubi took up his bow and arrow and went into the mountain again. The morning fog in the mountain forest has not dispersed, and the atmosphere is dense, full of weirdness and mystery. Bobi Dou wandered around the woods all morning and found nothing. When he came to a stream, he felt empty in his belly, so he sat on a stone, took out a rice dumpling and ate it. Before finishing a piece of rice dumpling, a hare suddenly appeared on the edge of the grass in front of him. Dou Bobi hurriedly took an arrow and opened his bow, hitting the hare in the butt. The hare took the arrow and got into the woods nearby, and Doubi searched all the way. As he walked through the woods, he saw two girls squatting on the ground bandaging the wound of a rabbit. Dou Bobi took a closer look and saw that it was his cousin Yun Jiang and the palace maid Xiaoyu. The rabbit was the prey he had just shot. The two bandaged the rabbit's wound and then released their hands. The rabbit limped forward for a few steps, then turned back to look at Yun Jiang and his servant, then got into the grass nearby. Dou Bobi said happily: "Sister Yun Jiang, why are you here?"
The palace maid Xiaoyu answered on her behalf: "The princess was worried about the young master, so she went there to see the madam first. She heard that the young master went hunting in the woods, so she came to find her..."
Bobi Dou joked: "Bobby came out early in the morning and found nothing. He finally encountered a prey, but his sister let him go. Alas, it has been three months since Bobi didn't know the taste of meat. He originally wanted to hunt a prey and go back It seems that the tooth-beating sacrifice is not enough!"
Yun Jiang said, "It's all Yun Jiang's fault. How about Yun Jiang sending someone to send a cart of meat to compensate you?"
Dou Bobi said: "Bobi is just having fun with my sister, how can I take it seriously? My sister's bodhisattva heart is really touching!"
Yun Jiang said: "It's not that Yun Jiang is soft-hearted, in fact, all the things in the forest are spiritual. Didn't you see that rabbit just now? Didn't he turn around and look here a few times after taking a few steps?"
The two of them walked away as they talked, and unknowingly left the forest. Yun Jiang said: "Brother Bobi, as the saying goes, men should be married when they are young, and women should be married when they are young. Haven't you ever thought about marrying a wife and having children so that your aunt can have grandchildren earlier?"
Dou Bobi said: "Bobi is a down-and-out man. I am very lucky to be taken in by my uncle. How can I dare to have extravagant hopes?"
Yun Jiang said: "Aren't you afraid? It's obvious that you are still thinking about that Mo Xiang... But, Sister Mo Xiang has been gone for several years, so you can't just stay away from marriage for the rest of your life, right?"
Bobie Dou said, raised his head, silently cast his gaze into the distance, and said for a long time: "You are right, the person Bobie feels most sorry for in his life is her. If only time could be turned back..."
Yun Jiang said: "Yes, maybe people are like this. When they exist, they don't know how to cherish, and they don't know how to regret until they lose it. Brother Bobi, let me ask you, if time could really be turned back, would you still be like before? Does that exclude her?”
Dou Bobi said: "Of course not...but there are no more what-ifs..."
Yun Jiang said: "Yes! A person has to walk many roads in his life and encounter many forks in the road. The most important thing is to see how you grasp it. Brother Bobi, when you meet Sister Mo Xiang, that is your first time. You have already missed a fork in the road. Now that you have arrived in Yun State, another fork in the road is in front of you, will you still miss it?"
Doubi shook his head in pain and said uneasily: "No more, really no..." As he said that, he slapped a tree trunk in front of him and lowered his head in pain.
Yun Jiang said: "Yes, it really is, that road is right in front of you. Turn around and look at me, look at me!"
Doubi had to turn around silently. When his eyes met Yun Jiang's expectant eyes, the ice that had been imprisoned in his chest for a long time loosened unconsciously, and then quickly moved away. Yun Jiang said: "Look at me, look at me!" Then he desperately threw himself into his arms and started crying.
That night, Dou Bobi tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yun Jiang's shadow appeared before his eyes. Then, the shadow quickly turned into Mo Xiang, and then from Mo Xiang to Yun Jiang... Both of them loved to dance with guns and sticks, and they were both as beautiful as flowers, but one was as fierce as fire, while the other was as tender as water. . In the end, the two figures overlapped and he couldn't tell who was who.
