Chapter 97: Miss Fan's Mansion in the Mountains and Letters
Chapter 97 Miss Fan Mansion and Letters in the Mountains
Spring in Northern Qi came a little later, but it was finally coming. Walking from the capital of Northern Qi, walking far away from the capital of Northern Qi, bypassing the desolate topaz, and walking north for a few hours, you will come to a green mountain. This mountain is not very tall, but the high trees and low bushes on the mountain are dense, appearing particularly primitive and quiet, with layers of light or deep green mixed, which is very beautiful.
Just as the sword hut has a similar position in the hearts of the swordsmen in the world, this green mountain is also a holy place that cannot be violated and is high above in the eyes of the people of Northern Qi or the ascetics who are traveling around the world. Because this nameless green mountain is the Taoist gate of the Northern Qi Tianyi Dao, the place where the national teacher Kuhe sits and practices.
Walking from the rugged mountain road to the quiet valley, you can vaguely see the place where thousands of pine trees gather.
The shapes of pine needles are different. Some pine needles are gentle and drifting like hair. Some pine needles are like anger and hard to pierce the sky. Some pine needles are like thin round tubes, which are particularly interesting. It is early morning, and morning dew is spread all over the plants in the mountains. Most of the dew moistens the pine needles and slides to the ground. Only those pine trees with dense pine needles will store a bumpy crystal dew in their branches and leaves, shining with the morning light and as clear as gems.
Looking into the mountains along the glimmer of dew, you can see the buildings of Tianyimen. These buildings inherit the traditional aesthetic styles of the Great Wei and Northern Qi ranks. They are mainly blue and black. Black is the main one, and the blue is close to nature. They stand in the world and the power is hidden in the Qing and beauty.
Although the Taoist sect of Tianyi Dao is not as wide as that of the sword lumbar in Dongyi City, Master Kuhe practiced here. Naturally, countless pilgrims came to worship him. After ten stops, even if the national master received fewer disciples, adult disciples like Lang Tao always had to accept disciples. Over the past few decades, the number of people in the Taoist sect has gradually increased, and now more than a hundred people have been practicing and studying in the green mountains for many years.
In the hearts of these disciples, of course, I hope to practice in the mountains for many years and go out to help the world and help the dynasty, just like the fairy in their hearts.
Back then, the saint of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, was in this mountain. These pine trees were cultivated for countless years. Before the begonia came out of the mountain, they planted vegetables in a pastoral area outside the blue and black buildings. In addition to the daily consumption, the vegetables they planted were sent to the school. To this day, many disciples are proud of eating vegetables grown by begonia.
During this year, Haitang spent most of his time in the distant Jiangnan of Qing Kingdom. He stayed with the same name as Xiao Fan. This fact made the people of Northern Qi feel angry, especially among the students in the green mountains. In addition to the negative emotions such as jealousy and anger, what made these students most unhappy was that it was difficult to see the girl in flowery clothes in the pastoral countryside. In the past years, as long as you see the figure of that girl, everyone's hearts would be calm.
Not long after Haitang left, another girl lived in the pastoral family and turned the vegetables in the pastoral family into some medicinal materials that can be grown.
The girl's home identity is very unusual. She is a newly acquired disciple of Master Kuhe. She replaced the position of Master Haitang. She lived in Haitang's garden and collected the rapeseed of Haitang... She was a girl from Fan Xiandi.
Physical constitution is mainly related to the relaxed mood.
"No need to attend boring poetry meetings, no need to go to the palaces of the princes and princes to gossip with the women, no need to hide behind the screen and watch men like those sisters, no need to be a female lover every day..."
Fan Ruoru stared at the mountain under the stone steps in a daze. A happy smile appeared on his face, "This kind of life is what I want, thank you, brother."
In addition to the practice of Tianyidao's mental method, the mountain also preached the justice of the scriptures. Basically, it used the tutorials revised by Zhuang Mohan. Fan Ruoruo ended his practice for an hour and came to the second senior brother Mu Peng's room and saluted respectfully. Then he chose several difficult questions about medical skills, so please give me some advice.
Mu Peng said a few words, suddenly saw the happy expression in the girl's eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Fan is sending another letter?"
Fan Ruoru smiled and nodded, saying, "Although I haven't come yet, I'm counting the days and it should be here."
Mu Peng grabbed his hair with a little messy hair and said with a smile: "So happy. I guess you brothers and sisters have a great relationship. Since that's the case, why not stay in Nanqing? The younger sister. Although Northern Qi is good, it is a foreign country after all."
Although Mu Peng's status is definitely not as good as the old poison in the Supervision Bureau, whether it is a big man who practices medicine or uses poison, his hair seems to be a little messy and his daily life is a bit messy, so he naturally cannot notice such things as dressing up.
Fan Ruoru responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter where you are. My brother said that people always need to make some sacrifices for the goals they want in life."
Mu Peng asked in surprise: "Oh? What is your goal, then junior sister?"
"Save people." Fan Ruoruo responded calmly.
"It's that simple?"
"Yes."
"Well..." Mu Peng pondered for a moment and said, "Doctors are parents' hearts, but before you came to Northern Qi, you were only listening to the Southern Dynasties Imperial Hospital for a while. Why did you have such a great wish?"
"Senior brother, it's not the reason for his wish, but what he wants." Fan Ruoruo said calmly without thinking, "Brother once said, how should a person spend his life? The first thing is to make himself happy... Treating diseases and saving people can make me happy, so I choose this way."
How should a person spend his life? Mu Peng frowned slightly, sighed, and didn't say anything else, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of person was the boy from the Fan family who could make Junior Sister Haitang messy?
It was not too late, and Fan Ruoruo walked down the stone steps with an empty water bottle, returned to her yard, carefully caring for the medicinal materials in the garden. Then she walked back to the quiet house and began to prepare paper and pen. The furnishings in the house did not change at all, because she knew that this was the old residence of Miss Haitang after all, and for the people of Northern Qi, it had a different meaning.
A letter was quietly placed on the table, and a hint of joy flashed in Fan Ruoruo's eyes. He hurriedly opened the letter paper and carefully looked at the familiar fine handwriting on the paper. While looking at the letter, her expression was constantly changing, sometimes nervous, sometimes joyful, sometimes... faint sadness.
The letter was sent by Fan Xian. He used a lot of effort to send his sister to the gate of Tianyi, Beiqi. The brother and sister were far apart and it was quite inconvenient to communicate information. They each missed each other. So after Ruoru settled down, Fan Xian immediately started a letter to his family every month.
When she was a child, Ruoru returned to Kyoto from Danzhou at a very young age. Since Ruoru knew how to recognize words and write, Fan Xian began to communicate with her. With the developed postal route of Qingguo, the letters from the brother and sister were in contact with Kyoto and Danzhou, one letter a month, never interrupted until the fourth year of Qingli, Fan Xian entered Kyoto.
I don't know how many years I have written.
These letters contain much affection between brother and sister.
In the letter, he talks about the Red Mansions, talks about house affairs, and tells each other about the scenery of the two places. His parents are trivial and trivial, and they are all in one go. It is through these letters that Fan Xian became one of his sister's spiritual teachers. Fan Ruoru was influenced by the contents of these letters since he was a child, and his mood and attitude were different from that of most women in this world... no, he is different from the vast majority of people in this world.
She is still filial to her parents and loves her brothers. She gets along very well with the sisters in the boudoir, but there are many differences in her heart. A relatively independent personality and yearning for freedom are incompatible with the world, and she is born without leaving the world.
It is precisely because of this contradiction that she became a self-righteous and indifferent iceberg girl when she was in Kyoto. Only later did she dare to reveal her sincerity in front of Fan Xian. So she went to a foreign country and lived a hard life. This life, which was extremely terrifying in the eyes of aristocratic lady, made her happy and very happy.
The beginning of all this is faith, the letter between Fan Xian and her.
Fan Ruoru looked at the letter in a daze, and after a long time, his eyes were a little wet. The battles in the courts in Kyoto were still far away from her. She also believed in the abilities of her father and brother, so she didn't care about the dangers written in the letter. This time Fan Xian mentioned Hongcheng in the letter.
Hongcheng...
Fan Ruoru wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the gentle prince appeared in his mind. He was going to go to the west to fight with the Hu people. Will he be injured? Will he come back?
Prince Jing’s Mansion and Fan’s Mansion are family friends, and Fan Ruoruo grew up with Li Hongcheng since childhood. She knew that although the other party had great ambitions, she was a very rare good person in nature. She abandoned the romantic affairs on the flower boat and was also infatuated with herself. This time, Hongcheng asked to leave the capital, on the one hand, to escape the struggle between the princes of Kyoto. But she knew that this was not a self-exile after she hurt him.
But Fan Ruoruo just couldn't accept Hongcheng. Yes, her delicate heart that had been stained by Fan Xian was now even more...unable to accept the attitudes about men and women in this world.
Is this absurd and interesting thing?
Of course, even if there were no romantic tents on the flower boat, even if Hongcheng was a perfect person, Fan Ruoruo could not accept his life with that man.
Just like a story Fan Xian told in his letter back then.
Those are all very good, but... I just don't like them.
"What story did he write to make you cry?" A lazy, clear voice came from the door of the house. "Your brother is indeed hateful in some ways."
Fan Ruoruo was shocked and looked up and saw Miss Haitang standing at the door wearing a thin flowery dress. He quickly stood up and said, "It turned out that it was from Senior Sister. I thought it was someone sent by Lord Wang."
Haitang put his hands in his clothes, dragged his steps in, and said, "Wang Qinian is not back, Fan Xian didn't say it? It's Deng Ziyue in the capital now, you should have seen it."
Fan Ruoru nodded.
Haitang smiled and said, "I am really curious about the content of this letter, which actually made you, who have always been calm, cry."
Fan Ruoru pinched the letter with his fingers and lowered his head and said, "Senior sister, don't make fun of me, brother... is still as long-lasting as before."
Haitang sighed and said, "I have a deep understanding of this."
Fan Ruoruo turned his head slightly and asked in confusion: "Senior sister is not going to the capital, why have she returned to the mountain?"
When Haitang returned to the mountain, of course it was impossible to send a letter to Fan Xian to her sister. She looked at Fan Ruoruo and said with a smile: "The master received a letter from his second senior brother, thinking that you can come out of the mountain and let me accompany you to the capital."
"Go to the capital?" Fan Ruoru said in embarrassment: "But there are still many things I haven't learned."
"It's just that someone wants to see you, so I'm asking me to take you there." Haitang said: "You like life in the mountains, and you'll be back when the time comes."
"Senior sister also likes life in the mountains?" Fan Ruoru said with a smile: "I didn't dare to move this room. I keep it. Let's live together then."
Hearing this, Haitang fell into silence. After a long time, the girl sighed and said helplessly: "If you want to return, it will not happen every year or two."
Fan Ruoru knew that Senior Sister Haitang had been doing something secretly with her brother. Originally, Fan Xian was working as a bridge in the middle. She had always had a good relationship with Haitang and spoke casually. But whenever she thought of her sister-in-law Lin Wan'er who was far away in Qingguo... Fan Ruoru always deliberately kept a distance from Haitang, which might be the little thought of her daughter's home.
She suddenly thought of what she said before and asked curiously: "Walk to the capital...who wants to see me?"
"Your Majesty." A smile appeared on the corner of Haitang's lips, thinking that his Majesty's thoughts were as hard as Fan Xian's.
In the Shangjing City, which is not far away from the green mountains, where the gates of Tianyi are located, in the Qingmei Palace, which is a unique and beautiful Qingmei Palace in the world. His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi is slumped on a short couch, his big feet are covered with cloth socks, exuding heat, but his body is tilted in the arms of a beautiful palace dressed in a palace dress.
