Chapter 49 Forty-five Bridge Princess

But there is an old prince whom everyone has long forgotten.His mother also came from a famous family.When he was young, he was expected to be the crown prince, but because of the sudden disputes in the court, he suffered bad luck and ended up with nothing.Those who were supported by relatives of the nine ethnic groups, apart from grief and indignation, all became monks with excuses.This is the son lost all support in the officialdom and family, and fell into a lonely predicament.His wife is the daughter of a certain minister of the previous generation. Looking back on the high expectations her parents had for her, she is now in such a difficult situation, and often lives in grief and sorrow.However, the husband and wife love each other and trust each other, so that they can survive each other.

Unfortunately, the two have been married for many years and have no children yet.The prince often sighed: "In this lonely life, if I can have a cute child, it will add a little more fun." Tian fulfilled his wish, and soon he was really happy with a beautiful girl.The prince and his wife loved and devoted themselves to raising them.Soon the wife became pregnant again.Everyone prayed for a boy this time, but unexpectedly it was another girl.The wife was careless in her postpartum care, she became ill and became more and more serious, and finally died in Huangquan.The prince was at a loss as to what to do with the loss of his wife.He thought: "The reason why I have survived so much pain until now is because I can't bear to leave this beautiful wife, and now I am left alone in the world, raising these two girls, not only is there a lot of pain, but the outside world can hear it, because of my identity. Relationships are also detrimental to dignity." He wanted to take this opportunity to fulfill his long-cherished wish to become a monk.However, the two girls were lonely and helpless, how could they bear to leave them behind, so in the midst of hesitation, many days and nights passed.During this period, the two sons and daughters grew up day by day.Come out beautiful and lovely.The pro-Wang Chaoxi used this to comfort herself, and passed the years unconsciously.

Among the two daughters, the maids didn't like the second daughter, they said angrily: "Hey! What an unlucky birthday!" They refused to take care of her wholeheartedly.But when the wife was dying, she still couldn't forget the child in a coma, and she only left a last word to the prince: "I only wish to love this poor child!" child.Besides, Madam loves her so much, she still misses her when she is dying, and asked me to take good care of her.Thinking of it this way, he loves these two young masters even more.These two sons and daughters are surprisingly beautiful and moving, almost making people suspect that this is a strange omen.The eldest daughter is demure and elegant, with a generous demeanor, her nobility is beyond the reach of her younger sister.In the prince's eyes, the two have their own merits, so they love each other equally.However, the world is difficult, everything is unsatisfactory, and the family fortune is declining year after year.The servants saw that they were no longer prosperous, so they gradually took a walk. The mother of the second daughter passed away just after she was born. The prince was in grief and confusion, and the wet nurse he hired was not as good as he wanted, so she resigned soon.At that time, the second daughter and son were still young, and they were all brought up by the prince himself.

The prince's palace was originally spacious and magnificent.Its ponds, rockery, etc., still have the appearance of the past.But in the end it was desolate day by day.When the prince was lonely, he came here to look far away.There are no capable people among the retainers.The garden was neglected, and the weeds were overgrown and flourishing.The ferns under the eaves are spreading everywhere, and the flowers and trees in four seasons are in good condition: cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn. It is very comforting to enjoy it with your loved ones in the past.Now I am alone, and I can only care about the decorations in the Buddhist hall at home, and chant scriptures and worship Buddha in the morning and evening.He often thought: "Since being dragged down by the second daughter, I can't fulfill my long-cherished wish. This is an accidental regret, but it is also a pre-determined life. How can I go against the sky and continue like an ordinary person? So year after year, I become more and more refined and indifferent. If you have become an eminent monk. Since Yaoren passed away, even if there are occasional jokes, you don’t think about continuing. Others persuaded: "If you are so stubborn, why bother?The person has passed away, although at first the grief is boundless, but as time passes by, the grief will gradually disappear, why not abandon the past for a while, marry another wife, and start life again?Also to bring this desolate palace evil back to life. "Such words, said a lot, and came to be a matchmaker many times. But the prince was not moved at all.

Apart from chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day, the prince devotes all his attention to the two young ladies, and often plays with them to amuse him.Watching them grow up, he taught them to play the piano, play chess, write poems, and paint.In various activities, carefully observe the character of each of them.The eldest daughter is calm and dignified, with far-reaching thoughts.The second daughter, on the other hand, is innocent and generous, and her shy demeanor is endearing.Both have their own beauty.In spring, when the clouds were clear and the wind was clear, the prince saw the waterfowl in the pond swimming in harmony and singing in harmony. He thought of his wife and sighed endlessly, so he taught the two sons and daughters how to practice the piano.These two lovable children play the piano very beautifully.The prince was very moved, and wrote a poem with tears in his eyes:

"Waterfowl love each other, and the male shadow alone pities the female couple." It's really sad! "He raised his sleeves and wiped his tears. This prince was originally handsome, and his body was slightly thinner due to years of hard work, but he looked elegant. In order to take care of his children, he often wears casual clothes, and his unrestrained attitude is also extremely He is so handsome that those who see him are secretly envious. The eldest daughter moved the inkstone calmly, writing and drawing on it at will. The prince handed over a piece of paper and said, "Write it here.It is not suitable to write on the inkstone. "The eldest daughter shyly wrote a poem:

"A loving father nurtures and grows up deeply, and the chick lives to lose its mother." Although it is not a particularly good work, it was also emotional when I read it at that time.It can be seen from the handwriting that it has a bright future, but the poem was written with a little effort.The prince said to the second daughter: "Your sister can also write something casually?" The younger sister thought for a long time before writing: "Without a loving father, the nest cannot hatch." The days passed like running water.Although it is a bit lonely and lonely, it is also full of family affection.Under the careful nurturing of the prince, the two sons and daughters grew up to be as beautiful as flowers.The Eighth Prince even regarded them as the apple of his eye.He often held the scriptures in his hand and taught his daughter to sing while reciting.He taught his eldest daughter to play the pipa and his second daughter to play the zither.They are still young, but they often practice the ensemble, and the syllables they play are harmonious and beautiful.

The Eighth Prince's father, Emperor Tonghu, and mother, Nvyu, both passed away long ago, and there were no dignitaries to raise them, so they were unable to study in depth since childhood; as for the way of life, they had no way of learning.This prince is the most pampered among the nobles, quite feminine.Therefore, although the ancestral wealth and the inheritance given to him by his grandfather and ministers are complete and countless, they are all exhausted.Only some precious daily necessities remained.And he failed to make close friends, so his life was very dull and boring.So he summoned the best orchestral musicians from the palace, and immersed them in the leisure and fun of studying orchestral music all day long.From childhood to adulthood, over time, he has cultivated excellent musical talents.

He is Genji's half brother, known as the Eighth Prince.At the beginning, the queen mother of Zhuqueyuan, the queen mother of Honghuidian, conspired to use her power to depose Lengquan and make him the crown prince.After a lot of fighting, he failed in the end, and was squeezed out by Genji's faction.Later, as the Genji faction became more and more powerful, the Eighth Prince had no chance to stand out.In recent years, he has become an eminent monk, and now he has abandoned all ordinary things.During this period, the palace of the Eighth Prince was suddenly caught in a fire.Encountering this natural disaster and man-made disaster, I feel even more decadent.There is no proper housing in Beijing, but fortunately there is a good villa in Uji, and the whole family moved there.Although I have abandoned the world, every time I think about the eternal separation between the two places, I will inevitably feel sad in the end.This Uji Sanso is located on the banks of the Uji River, close to the Uji.It is not suitable for me to meditate and worship the Buddha here, but there is nothing I can do.Although there are spring flowers and autumn leaves chatting with the green mountains and clear waters to comfort and worry, but after the eighth prince moved in, he lamented all day long, and his state of depression was even better than before.I often think of my dead wife, saying: "I am imprisoned in this deep mountain, far away from the world of mortals, and there are no old friends to depend on!" Zeng wrote a poem:

"Si people turn smoke into dust, so why stay incomplete?" Looking back on the past, I feel that the rest of my life is no longer interesting. This place was isolated by many mountains, far away from Kyoto, and no one came to visit.Except for those grotesque and vulgar mountain farmers, woodcutters, and shepherds who serve the mountain, it is rare to see other people occasionally going in and out of the mountain.The melancholy in the Eighth Prince's heart is like morning fog lingering on the top of a mountain, it will never dissipate.At that time, there happened to be a highly educated Tuli living in Uji Mountain.This Geli is knowledgeable and has a high reputation in Buddhism, but he is rarely called into the palace to participate in Buddhist affairs, so he has been living a leisurely life in this mountain.The villa where the eighth prince lives is close to Geli's residence. He studied Buddhism and Taoism in his quiet life, and often asked Geli for advice on difficult points in the scriptures.Tuli also respects the Eighth Prince and often visits him.He gave a precise and detailed explanation of the Buddhist scriptures that the Eighth Prince had recently studied.The Eighth Prince felt that life was short and tasteless, so he picked it up.Talk to him with my heart in my heart: "My heart has already ascended to the Pengtai, ascended to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, and lived in the pure and pure land of the eight merits. But because of these two underage children, I can't bear to become a monk."

This Geli also knows the Cold Spring Institute very well, and often goes to serve him to study scriptures.Once when I entered Beijing, I stopped by the courtyard to meet him. As usual, the Cold Spring Academy was reading the Buddhist scriptures that we should study, so I asked him for advice on any difficulties.Ge Li took this opportunity to mention the Eighth Prince, saying: "The Eighth Prince has a deep knowledge of internal scriptures, and he is really a man of great wisdom and wisdom! God sent him into this world, probably because of the Buddha's fate in his previous life! Worshiping the Buddha, his devotion to Buddhism and Taoism is absolutely inferior to that of a virtuous monk." Lengquanyuan said: "Has he not become a monk yet? Some young people here call him 'increasing the common people'. He is really admirable! At that time, the prime minister, Lieutenant General Zhengjun, was also waiting on the sidelines. Hearing these discussions, he thought to himself: "Why didn't I see through the hot and cold things in this world?! I was wasting my time and wasting my time. Regret. Although I have the heart to recite the scriptures and practice Buddhism, I just dare not show my heart to the public." I also thought that although the prince was in the secular world, his heart was sacred, and he didn't know how he felt in his heart.He listened carefully to Ge Li's words.Zhou Li said again: "The Eighth Prince has long wished to become a monk. He heard the reason why he was so hard to make up his mind. First he was restrained by complicated affairs, and now he is because of two daughters who lost their mothers. He is full of worries about this. Well." This Ah Yanli is also quite fond of music, and said: "Furthermore, those two young masters are also quite skilled at playing the zither, the beautiful melody of the zither combined with the sound of the Uji River is wonderful. "No", I'm afraid it can be compared with the fairy music that floats away from Tiangong Yaochi! "Lengquanyuan responded to Geli's ancient admiration with a smile, and said: "The two young ladies who grew up in such a holy monk's family seem to ask for secular affairs, but unexpectedly they are good at music, which is really rare.Since the prince is very worried because he can't bear to abandon them, if I can stay in this world longer than him, you might as well entrust it to me! .This Lengquanyuan is the tenth prince of Tonghuyuan, the younger brother of the eighth prince. He remembered that Suzakuyuan had entrusted the third princess to the late headmaster Liutiao, and he really wanted these two female princes to be his playmates.Huang Jun didn't have such thoughts, he wanted to see how the eighth prince was meditating on Buddhism, so he planned to visit him. When A Geli returned to the mountain, King Zeng asked him: "I will definitely visit the mountain and ask the Eighth Prince about Buddhism. Please let the mage tell me about it." I am deeply pleased to have the inexhaustible taste of living in the mountains." He also presented a poem: "I despise the dust and vulgarity and admire the deep mountains, and the layers of clouds block me and lose my beauty." A Geli led the envoys from Lengquanyuan to visit the Eighth Prince.For example, on weekdays, it is rare for ordinary people to visit this secluded and quiet villa. Today, the imperial envoy from Lengquanyuan came suddenly, which is really amazing.Everyone was very welcome, and the eighth prince also entertained the distinguished guests with local delicacies.The Eighth Prince's reply poem is: "The body is away from the secular world and the mind is not at ease, so I temporarily live in Uji to try to practice Taoism." The wording in the poem in terms of Buddhist and Taoist practice is very humble.So Lengquanyuan looked at the eighth prince's reply poem and thought: "The eighth prince is still thinking about the world!" He felt very pitiful for him.Lieutenant General Ageli told the Eighth Prince about the fact that Lieutenant General Zhengjun's heart turned to Buddhism, and said: "Lieutenant General Zheng once said to me: 'I have longed to learn the teachings of scriptures since I was a child. I am only restrained by public and private affairs. One day, I have been wasting so far. This body has no prayer at all. In order to worship the Buddha with all my heart, even though I am locked in a lonely mountain, I will not hesitate. But in the end, I am determined. Now I heard that the emperor's uncle has gone deep into Buddhism. He is very wise and wise. Decided to come and ask for advice now.' He asked me to speak for him, and his sincerity was beyond words." The Prince of Man replied: "Everyone who disregards the world of mortals feels that there is no good and hope to be found in this world because of their own disasters. They lose the joy of living. , Wanhui is determined to seize the door as his home. Today, Lieutenant General Dai is in his prime, and he is satisfied with everything, without any regrets, but he has devoted himself to Buddha since he was a child, thinking that it is a rare thing for future generations to cultivate blessings. Like me Such people, who are destined to be in distress and wear the world, are very easy to be guided by the Buddha, and can naturally fulfill their wish of meditation. However, they are afraid that the dying years will not be long, and they will end before they reach the state of great enlightenment, so that neither the previous life nor the future life will be settled, and they will be deep. It's a pity. Therefore, the general wanted to ask me for advice, how dare I do it? I should look back at the Buddha with the first enlightenment." After that, the two wrote letters continuously, and Mr. Zheng came to visit each other in person. Huang Jun saw the residence of the Eighth Prince, and felt that what he saw was poorer and poorer than what he had heard. All the surroundings he lived in were as simple as the thatched hut he imagined.As a mountain village, there are always beautiful scenery that complements people's leisurely fun.But the sound of the waves here is too loud and disturbing.At night, the sound of the wind is desolate and shocking, making it difficult to sleep peacefully.People who learn Taoism live here, but they can use this to let go of their vulgar thoughts.But how can the ladies live here?Yuan Jun conjectured that they must not have the kind of tenderness and tenderness that ordinary women in Shengjian have.The Buddhist hall and their room are separated by a paper door.If you meet a lustful person, you must take a close look at them to understand what they look like; although Huang Jun also has this intention occasionally, he always dismisses it immediately: "Abandoning the worldly thoughts and escaping into the Buddhist gate, I came here. For this purpose, if there are some words and deeds that are flirtatious and debauched, wouldn't it be against the original intention and in vain?" He sympathized with the difficult life of the Eighth Prince and sincerely expressed his condolences.After many visits, he found that the Eighth Prince was just as he expected, an Upasaka who lived in a deep mountain and devoted himself to practicing Buddhism. He explained the scriptures and teachings in detail, but did not pretend to be profound.People with the appearance of holy monks and highly talented mages are not uncommon in the world.But those monks and monks who have passed away from the world and have high morals and abhorments have little leisure time and are very noble, so it is difficult to ask them for advice.On the contrary, mediocre people are often described as vulgar, dry in speech, without elegance at all, and they can be respected only by strictly following the precepts.Mr. Zheng was busy with business affairs during the day and had no leisure time. When the night was quiet, he wanted to find someone who was deeply versed in Buddhism to enter the inner room and discuss Buddhism together by the plane.If you talk to such vulgar and vulgar Buddhist disciples, it will definitely be boring.Only this Eighth Prince is the most favorite person, he is elegant and respectable.The same is to explain the teachings of Buddhist scriptures, but it is simple and easy to understand.Although his understanding of Buddhism has not reached the pinnacle, noble people understand the truth of life more profoundly than ordinary people.Zunjun gradually became close friends with him, and every time he met, he always wanted to be by his side.Sometimes I was too busy and couldn't come to the door for a long time, and I missed it very much. Mr. Zheng respected the Eight Princes so much that Lengquan Academy often sent envoys to write to ask questions.For many years, the Eighth Prince has been unknown in the world, and his family has been neglected. People often come in and out at this time.Every festival, Cold Spring House has exquisite gifts.Mr. Zheng must pay his respects every festive season.Sometimes it is given as a gift, and sometimes it is given as a gift.It has been three years since we have been in contact like this. At the end of autumn of this year, the Eighth Prince held a Nianwei meeting that occurs every four seasons.At this time, the sound of water waves on Yuliang by the Uji River was very clear, and there was no peace for a while, so the Buddhist chanting meeting had to be moved to the Buddha Changtang of the mountain temple where Age Li lived, and the meeting was scheduled for seven days.After the prince left home, there were only two sons and daughters left in the villa, very deserted and lonely.They have nothing else to do except sit and meditate every day.Lieutenant General Huang Jun hadn't visited the villa for a long time, and he missed the prince very much, so he set off with the waning moon in the middle of the night, and went out quietly, without many followers, and entered the mountain in casual clothes.The villa of the eight princes is located on the bank of the Uji River, and it can be reached by riding a horse without crossing the river.The horseshoe gradually entered the deep mountains, the vegetation became more and more luxuriant, the clouds and mist obscured the eyes, and it was almost difficult to distinguish the path.The crystal dew on the leaves sprinkles wildly with the mountain wind.In the evening of late autumn, it was already a little chilly, but now that the clothes are soaked in dew, the skin feels cold.This kind of experience is rare in Zheng Jun, so he is sad and full of interest on the one hand.Then he chanted a poem: "The dew on the leaves blown by the wind is easy to pass away, and it is even harder to shed tears for no reason." He was also afraid of disturbing the mountain people and causing troubles, so he ordered his followers to walk cautiously and not make any noise.Crossing the wood fence, crossing the shallow stream where the water temperature is relatively warm, they all walked quietly, and the horse's feet were wet, and they were cautious.But the fragrance on Yongjun's body could not be hidden, it was scattered by the wind.Those who woke up in the Shan family were quite amazed; no one knew who had passed by, and where did the strange fragrance come from? Near the word Zhishanzhuang, I suddenly heard the sound of the piano, but I didn't know what song it was playing, but felt that its tune was very sad and sad.Zeng Jun thought: "I heard that the Eighth Prince Suxi played music earlier, but I have never heard it in person. I am lucky to have this opportunity today." Then he stepped into the villa and listened quietly: This is the sound of the pipa and the tune of the yellow bell. .Although it is a common song in the world, it may be due to the environment and the bleak mood of the player, so the music sounds very strange to the ears.Its backwash sound is clear and sweet.There is also the melancholy and elegant sound of the zither, which is played intermittently, which is quite interesting.Meng Jun wanted to stop and appreciate it carefully, and was about to hide, but the fragrance on his body had already been noticed by others.A night patrolling man came over and said to Zhengjun: "The prince just closed the mountain temple, and the villain will go to report immediately." Dong Jun said: "No need! The merits have a limited date, how can you go to disturb? But I am so talented, It is really a disappointment to come back from the sky. Please tell the lady, if she pushes me to say 'poor' to me, I will have no regrets." The ugly man smiled and said: "The villain will let the maid tell immediately. "After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.Yuan Jun hurriedly called him to stop: "Wait a minute! I heard that your lady is very skilled at playing the piano. Today is a great opportunity, can you find a hiding place for me to hide and enjoy it? If you go to disturb me, they will all stop playing, won't you?" It's a pity." Huang Jun has a handsome appearance, even this rough and straightforward man is very moved and respectful after seeing it.He replied: "My lady is only willing to play the piano when there is no one else. If people from the capital come, even humble servants, they will be silent. It seems that the prince does not want more worldly people to know about my two ladies. This is what he said in person." Zheng Jun said with a smile: "How can you hide it? Although he is so secretive, everyone in the world knows that your family has two stunning beauties." Then he said : "Lead me there! I'm not a womanizer. I just want to prove that they are more beautiful than ordinary girls out of curiosity." The man cried bitterly: "This is troublesome! I did this ignorant thing. In the future, the prince You know, you must scold me." In front of the residence of the two young masters, bamboo fences surround them, and the distance is strict.The night watchman led Lord Luan to go quietly.The entourage of Mr. Zheng was invited to the western profile, and he was also entertained by this person. Mr. Zheng pushed open the bamboo fence door of the female son's residence, and looked inside quietly. He saw several female servants standing in front of the high-rolled curtain, looking at the misty moon in the night mist.In front of the eaves was a thin girl, dressed in old clothes, who seemed to be unbearable to the chill of this late autumn night.The other maids had the same expressions as the girl.There is only one person in the room, with only a little figure behind him, a pipa is stretched in front of him, and he is playing with the plectrum in his hand.The hazy moon suddenly became brighter, and the man said: "'You don't need a fan, but you can call out the moon with a dial." As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the moon, and his appearance was very charming.There was another person, sitting with his back against the pilaster, leaning his body on a piano, and said with a smile: "it's reasonable to call back the setting sun with a plectrum, but you're calling the moon, which confuses me." Naive elegance trumps the former.The former said: "Although the setting sun can't be called back, this dial is really destined to be with the moon." The two talked and laughed casually, very intimately, their demeanor was completely different from the rumors in the world, and it was lovable.Yijun thought to himself: "I heard young maids read ancient novels before, and there were often stories about beautiful women hidden in deep mountains and wild forests. At first, I thought it was just a random fabrication by the book editor. I don't want to see it in person today. It really has such a charm. It's a nice and elegant place." At the moment, his thoughts are all on the two young ladies.At this time, the night fog was shrouded, and the courtyard could not be seen clearly.Su Jun secretly prayed for the moon to be brighter.At this time, someone faintly heard whispering: "Someone is peeping outside." The curtain was immediately lowered, and everyone retreated into the inner room.However, he didn't panic, he still took his time and quietly hid inside, the sound of fists in his clothes was never heard.Gentle and charming attitude.It is convincing, and Qin Jun couldn't help but sigh deeply for his elegance and elegance. He tiptoed away from the bamboo fence, walked outside, sent people back to Beijing, and asked his family to send a car to pick them up.Then he said to the night watchman: "Unfortunately, I met the prince wirelessly this time. But I was lucky enough to listen to the sound of the lady's piano. I am really lucky in my life. I have no regrets in my heart. Please inform the lady, and let me tell you about the frost and the dew. What a pain to come." The person on duty immediately went in to report.The two female sons did not expect that he would eavesdrop in the dark, they were afraid that he would see how he was living and idling just now, so they felt very shy.Recalling that there was indeed an unusual fragrance wafting faintly at that time, but I failed to notice it because of accidents, it was really too negligent.As a result, my heart was panicked, and I felt more ashamed and shameless.Qin Jun didn't see the messenger maid who came to see him outside, and he thought that everything should be witty and follow the custom, and should not stick to the old rules.And the night fog was thick, so he went straight to sit down in front of the curtain of the female son's room just now.The maids were at a loss in panic, and only sent out a futon nervously.Huang Jun opened his mouth and said: "It's too impolite to ask me to sit outside the emperor. If it weren't for my sincerity, why would I come to visit regardless of the rugged mountain road? This ceremony is too inappropriate. I suffer from frost and dew every time I come. Miss, can't you read my heart?" He said with a serious attitude.There is no one who treats young people kindly to women.Everyone was so ashamed that they wished they could run away.This is really outrageous!At this time, someone went inside to call the old Shiwen who had fallen asleep.But it took her a long time to get up.There was no response for a long time, as if deliberately embarrassing.When he was at his wit's end, the eldest female son said: "I can't wait for etiquette, so it's hard to come out and treat each other with courtesy, begging for forgiveness." The voice was elegant and gentle, so soft that it was hard to hear.Biao Jundao: "In my humble opinion, it is the normal state of the world to pretend to be indifferent to knowing people's painstaking efforts. It is really regrettable that the eldest lady treats me like this. The prince is very wise and able to fully understand Buddhism. The young lady will serve the prince sooner or later. , I have been infected for a long time, and I guess I have a clear understanding of everything in the world. I can't bear it now; I think the lady can understand what's on my mind. But please don't treat me as an ordinary dude. Marriage is a big event, and someone has been enthusiastic about it. But I am determined to Dao, never waver. The young lady must have heard such stories. What I want is to spend some time with Qing and others when I am bored in the house. When you are depressed and depressed in this mountain village, you can also call at any time. Me, I will go to the meeting immediately. If I can do this, I will be satisfied." He said so much in one breath.But the eldest daughter was so shy that she couldn't answer.At this time, the old maid had already come out, so she went to deal with it. The old maid was blunt and shouted: "Ah, what a crime! You let your lord sit here! You should have let your lord sit behind the curtain. You young people really don't know what to do!" Her voice was hoarse Blaming the maids mercilessly, the two sons and daughters felt extremely uncomfortable.I only heard her say to Mr. Zheng: "What a distinguished guest! My prince lives alone and is quite deserted. Even those who should visit are unwilling to show respect to this mountain village, and they feel more and more alienated. It is rare for the lieutenant general to be together Sincerely, sincerely asking, we servants are also very grateful! The ladies are also very grateful to you, but because young people are thin-faced, they don’t treat you well." She said without hesitation, making people The ladies were rather embarrassed.But this old maid has a noble character and a generous speech.So Mr. Zheng replied: "I am embarrassed. I am very glad that you said so. With a sensible person like you here, I have nothing to worry about." The maids peeked behind the screen and saw He stood leaning against a pillar, and the gradually brighter dawn saw that he was wearing casual clothes, and his sleeves were wet with dew.A rare fragrance in the world wafted from him, which was extremely surprising.At this time, the old maid said to him with tears in her voice: "I am afraid that I will get offended too much, so I often keep silent and keep the past in my heart. But the past is quite emotional, and it often makes me want to find a good opportunity to tell you the truth. Let me tell you in detail. When I recite the Buddhist scriptures, I have always made this thought one of my prayers. It may be that the gods and Buddhas were finally moved, so I am very lucky to have this opportunity today. However, before I can open my mouth, tears have already filled my eyes , I can’t speak anymore.” She was trembling all over, feeling extremely sad.Seeing this situation, Huang Jun thought that the elderly are easily moved to tears.But the old woman's unusual sadness surprised him very much.Then he said to her: "I have come to visit many times. It's just because I haven't met such a sensible person like you. Every time I always step on the dewy mountain road and return with wet clothes. Fortunately, I met you today! Please tell me what you want to say." The old maid said: "I am afraid that such a good opportunity will be hard to come by again. I am already at this age, and I may die one day, and I will not be able to see you again I am telling you today, just to let you know that there was once an old lady like me in this world. I heard that the little attendant who served the third princess in Santiao Gongxie has died, and most of the people who were very close to me in the past have passed away. I am also old I was able to return to Beijing in 2000, and I have been a poetess here for five or six years. Do you know that there is a legend about the death of the older brother Kashiwagiwei Mendu who was called Hongmei Dagangyan? Thinking of the death of Kashiwagiwei Mendu, It seemed so shortly ago. It was so sad and shed so many tears that it felt like I hadn't done it yet. But the days go by so quickly and you're grown up like a dream. This The nurse of the late Quan Dagangyan was the mother of me and the king. Therefore, I have been at the side of Quan Da Najib day and night, and I know him very well. Although my status is low, he often tells me the words buried in his heart Later, I was in a critical condition, and when the deadline was approaching, I was summoned to the hospital bed and told me a few last words. Some of them should indeed be told to you. But I can only say this today. If you want to know, I will come back when I have a chance. —I'll tell you. These maids are whispering, they must complain that I talk too much, and it's inevitable." She stopped talking. Dai Jun heard this, as if hearing a dream, very surprised.But this is something he has always suspected, and now the old maid has also mentioned it, eager to find out.However, there are too many people today, so it is inconvenient to inquire.Besides, it is too boring to suddenly listen to people telling the past until dawn.So he said: "I don't know exactly what you said. But since it is the past, I am also very touched. If there is a chance in the future, I must ask you to tell me in detail. The fog is about to lift. I am disheveled and sleepy, miss If you see me, you may blame me for being frivolous, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and I am very sorry." After saying that, he left.At this time, the bells of the mountain temple where the Eighth Prince lived could be heard in the distance, and the bells were still ringing, and the thick fog was still everywhere.This situation reminds people of the ancient song "White clouds are separated by layers". The sentence "there are many white clouds on the peak" makes me feel that it is really sad to go to this deep mountain.Yuan Jun sympathized with these two young masters, guessing that they must be lonely, bored, and full of worries when they live in the deep mountains.Then he chanted a poem: "Gongwei mountain scenery is covered with thick fog, and I want to return home in the morning and evening. It's so desolate!" After chanting, he looked back frequently, hesitating to leave.Even the well-informed and well-informed people in Beijing will be amazed by her elegant demeanor, let alone the maid from the mountain village?They want to convey the young lady's answer to the poem, but they are too shy to speak.The eldest daughter had no choice but to kiss her lips, and whispered: "There are layers of clouds, cockroaches and autumn fog, and it is even more difficult to find the way back now." Yin Ba sighed softly, which was quite moving. Although the surrounding area was not very beautiful, Mr. Zhang was so attached to it that it was difficult to leave.As the sky was getting brighter, he was finally afraid that people would see his face clearly, so he had to leave quickly, thinking in his heart: "We have met, and there are fewer things to talk about. But at this time, we are not very familiar with each other, and it is very unnatural to talk to each other. After getting acquainted with her a little bit, I will tell her again. But they treat me like an ordinary man, so ignorant and courteous, it is beyond my expectation, it is too hateful." Then he walked into the west room specially prepared for him by the host, and sat There logically want to look into the distance.Here you can see the weir of the Uji River, and there are many people standing on the weir, not knowing what they are doing.Among the entourage, someone who knew the fishing industry said: "There are so many icefish fishermen on the fishing beam! But the icefish don't swim to the beach for a long time, and they are very disappointed." Dai Jun thought: "They are fishing in a simple boat. I put some firewood in the middle, and I am busy running for my life. This life on the water is really floating. But if you think about it carefully, who in the world is not as wandering as this small boat? It may not be possible to live in peace like this for a lifetime!" He ordered to fetch a pen and inkstone, and write a poem as a gift to the daughter-in-law.Poetry goes: "Walking on the shallow water beach, wet the sleeves of the shirt. Knowing the heart of Qiao Ji, the tears in the green shirt. I must be full of sorrow." After writing, I will hand it over to the host on duty.In the late autumn morning, the chill was piercing to the bones, and the person on duty was so cold that his body was covered with lumps, and he walked in with a poem.The eldest daughter thought that the manuscript paper used for answering poems must be particularly poor, so as not to lose dignity.I also wanted to answer the poem at this time, and I had to be quick, so I immediately wrote: "Thousands of sails in Uji have passed, and the gods and gods are full of sorrow. The sleeves are melted in water day and night, and the pitiful decay is early. Zhennai's handwriting is beautiful and neat. After reading it, Qin Jun thinks it is very beautiful and elegant. He can't help being fascinated. But he heard that his followers were outside. Called: "The Beijing Central Train has arrived. "Zhengjun said to the host: "After the prince returns to the mansion, I will definitely come to visit. " Then he took off the clothes wetted by the fog and gave them to the hostess, changed into the casual clothes he brought from Beijing, boarded the car and ran to the capital. After Huang Jun returned to Beijing, he often thought about the words of the old maid, Bing Jun, and couldn't calm down.And when he recalled the two female sons, that beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes again.He thought: "It is not an easy task to abandon the world of mortals after all." His heart to learn Taoism was shaken.He wrote a letter to his daughter-in-law, not in the tone of a courtship love letter, but with thicker white letter paper, selected a delicate pen, and wrote in fresh ink: "I took the liberty to visit last night, you must blame me for being rude. ?However, I was in a hurry and couldn't reach my heart. I regret it. When I visit again in the future, I hope you will agree to my request last night and allow me to talk in front of the emperor. Don't worry about it. Your father entered the mountain temple to pay homage to the Buddha. His merits and virtues are complete. I have already found out the date of his return. I will definitely go there at that time, to comfort the regret that I did not meet during the foggy night visit." The writing is fluent.He sent a special supervisor to deliver this letter, and said: "You take the letter and give it to the old maid." He thought of the appearance of the person on duty in the cold, and felt sorry for him, so he packed many in a big box. The food should be brought to the host.The next day, Huang Jun sent someone to the mountain temple where the eighth prince lived.He thought that it must be very hard to increase people in the mountains due to the cold weather these days, and the eighth prince lived in the monastery for many days, so he should also give alms to the monks.Therefore, a lot of silk cotton was prepared, and the Taoist envoy presented it as a gift.When it was delivered, it happened that the eighth prince had completed his meritorious deeds and was about to return home.So he distributed silk, cotton, Hesha, clothes and other things to the monks, each with a set.All the monks in the temple are grateful.The person on duty wore the gorgeous suit given by Daijun.Made of fine white thread, this robe is soft and comfortable, with an inexplicable fragrance.However, how has this mountain man ever passed through such a gift?Therefore, his clothes are extremely unsuitable, and everyone who meets him makes fun of him, which makes him embarrassed.This robe is worn on the body, and the fragrance will disperse when he moves a little, so that he dare not walk around casually.So I was very annoyed, and wanted to get rid of this annoying smell that made people laugh.However, this is the fragrance of clothes of noble families, how can it be washed away? Zheng Junfeng read the eldest daughter's reply letter, only thought it was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and the words were sincere and frank, and he couldn't help but appreciate it deeply.The eldest daughter's maids told the eighth prince: "There will be a letter from Suzhong to the eldest lady."The Eighth Prince read the letter and said: "This letter is nothing. If you regard it as a love letter, you are wrong. This lieutenant general is different from ordinary young men. He is open-minded and selfless, and he is also decent. I once He vaguely revealed to him that he had entrusted him with something behind him, so he cared so much." The Eighth Prince wrote a letter of thanks in person, and in the letter there were words such as "I have received all kinds of treasures, and the rock house in the mountain is almost too much to bear."Dai Jun would like to visit Uji again in the near future.I thought again: "The third prince once said to me," if a woman living in the deep mountains is very beautiful, she will have a special charm. 'Since he has this fantasy, I might as well tell him the situation, stimulate him, and make him feel uneasy. "It is convenient to go to the third prince's residence in a quiet evening. After chatting casually, he recalled the words of the eighth prince of Uji, and described in detail the fact that he saw the faces of the two daughters at dawn that day. The third prince was very excited. Yuan Jun thought to himself, Sure enough, it was as I expected. Then I continued to describe it vividly, so as to move his heart. After hearing this, the third prince said bitterly: "Then why don't you show me the reply she wrote to you?换作我，早就给你看了。 ”蒸君答道：“岂敢！你收到了那么多女子的信，连只言片语也不曾让我知晓呢！总之，这两位小姐，非我这种门外汉所能独占，故我邀你前去看一看。可是你出身高贵，你去合适吗？世间只有地位低微之人，为了猎取美色，才可无所顾忌的拈花惹草。像这种偏僻之地被埋没的美人可多呢！然而像这种看得顺眼的女子，默默地闲居于荒郊陋舍，只有在山乡地方才会出人意料地遇上。我方才所说的那两个女子，生长于超然世俗的圣僧般人家。我向来以为她们毫无风韵，未曾将她们放在眼中。别人谈起时我亦不屑一听。哪知她们与我想象中的竟完全不一样。倘若那月光中没有看错，简直就是个完美无理的美人。无论品貌和姿态，都无可挑剔，真可说是个梦中佳人。 ”三皇子听得心生羡慕。他想：“蒸君这人对于寻常女子向来不甚动心。如今他却极力赞美，可知这两个女子一定是超凡脱俗之人。 ”心中对她们产生了无限爱恋。他劝蒸君：“劳你再去细心看看如何？ ”他对自己行动不能自如而十分厌烦。蒸君见此心里暗觉好笑，答道：“不好，这种事情可不能干！我已发下誓愿，对凡尘之事，永不关心。即使片刻也不能破例。逢场作戏之事我也断然不作。如果不能自我约束，那就有违初衷了。 ”三皇子笑道：“啊啃，好神气啊！就像一个得道高僧似的。我看你真正能熬到几时。 ”事实上，蒸君一直放心不下的，是那老诗文隐约所提之事。他比以前更想弄明白这件事，心中又感伤，因此即便美人在侧，或者闻知某家女儿长得漂亮，他也全然听不过去。 转眼十月到了，黛君于初五六日再往宇治访问。从者皆道：“近来鱼梁上景致正好，不妨顺便去看看。”黄君说：“何必呢！人生无常，跟冰鱼o相差不多。鱼梁又有甚好看呢？”因心情不佳，沿途风景一概无心浏览。他乘坐一辆轻便的竹帘车，身着厚绸常礼服和新制的裙子，故意朴素装扮。八亲王诚心迎接，以山乡式的筵席来款待他。黛君也觉得别有一番风趣。暮色已至，他们将灯火移近，共同研读最近所习的经文。并邀阿阁梨下山，为之讲解教义。深夜，宇治j！ 1上刮起了狂风，水波所卷起的哗哗声以及秋风扫落叶之声，使这里甚为凄厉可怕。袁君彻夜未眠。他惦量着天将黎明，不由想起上次拂晓听琴之事。便提出琴音最为感人等话题，对八亲王道：“〔次拜访，在破晓浓雾笼罩之时，模糊听得几声悠扬的琴音妙律，却未能满足耳福，甚觉遗憾。”八亲王答道：“我已戒除声色，从前所学的都已忘得差不多了。”但仍命侍者取过琴，说道：“要我弹琴，甚不相称。你得稍作提示，我方可回想得出来。”便命取琵琶来，功黛君弹奏。黄君遂弹起琵琶，与八亲王奏和。稍久，尊君又道：“我上次股俄听到的，好像不是这琵琶之音。可能那琵琶音色独一无二，所以声音特别美妙吧。”兴致减退，便无意再弹。八亲王道：'你这话可就差了！能使你赞赏的技法，怎么会传到这山野小地呢？你的夸奖未免过分罢。 ”他一边说，一边弹起七弦琴来。那声赛哀婉怨凄，如泣如诉，透入肺腑。此种凄凉的感觉大概是由这山中松风引起的吧。八亲王作出久未操琴、非常生疏之状，只弹了较为熟悉且韵味十足的一曲，便不弹了。他说：“我家里也有人弹筝，不知何时学会的。我偶尔也曾听到，似觉弹者稍有体会，但我从来不曾指点。不过是随意抚弹罢了，木成体统，只能和水波之声相应。尚无腔调可言，弹奏的声音定不会使你满意。 ”便对里面的女公于道：“弹一曲吧！ ”女公子答道：“我们不过私下玩玩，不曾料到被人听见，这已使我们羞愧之极，哪里还敢在着前献丑呢！ ”说罢便躲进里面，不肯弹奏。父亲多次劝说，她们一概回绝。袁君十分失望。八亲王心里想：“把两个女儿教养得如此古怪，就像未曾见过世面的乡下姑娘。这哪是我的初衷？ ”他甚觉无颜，便对餐君道：“我在此教养两女，没有让人知道。但我有生之年已为数不多，朝夕难料。而这两女尚年幼，我很是担。心她们将来生活流离，不得安定。就此一事，使我放心不下，难以安然往生极乐。 ”他说得十分恳切。蔡君深为感动，答道：“我虽不能胜任保护之人，但您可视我为亲信。只要我还活于此世上，则断不会辜负你的嘱托。 ”八亲王感激涕零，答道：“要是这样，我就放心了。在此先行谢过！ " 天将破晓，八亲王即上佛堂做早课。蒸君便叫来那老侍女共君问话。这老侍女是侍奉两位女公子的，年近六十，然而态度高雅，善于应对，丝毫不像平常侍女。她一提起已故枯水极大纳吉日夜焦虑，以致于卧病不起的情形，便十分伤心，泪流不止。蒸君想道：“这些旧事，即便与自己无关，听了也让人感慨不已。何况这是我多年以来就希望知道的。我常拜怫祈祷，希望明示当年究竟发生了怎样的事情，竟使母亲削发为尼。定是长期向种祈祷而得佛力依护之故，才有缘听到这梦一般可悲可叹的往事。”他的眼泪也禁不住流下来。后来说道：“然像你一样知道当年那些往事的人，如今世上一定还有。但不知这种让人惊异又觉可耻的事，其他人会不会传播出去？事隔多年，我还从未听说过呢。”并君答道：“这些事只有小侍从和我知道，找们从未向人说过。我虽然只是一微不足道的侍女，地位卑微，却蒙权大纳吉厚爱，有幸随时侍奉左右。故此间详情，我们都知道。权大纳吉胸中十分苦闷之时，只是偶尔叫我们两人传送书信。关于此事，我实在不敢多言，尚望见谅。权大纳吉弥留之际，对我也略有遗言。我这微贱之身，实不能担此重托。因此时常念及，思考用什么办法才能向您转述遗言。每诵经念怫，也常以此事为愿。而今果然应验。可见这世〔佛菩萨毕竟还是有的，真是谢天谢地。此外我手中还保存有一样东西，你一定要看看。先前我曾想：如今肯定没有办法了，不如烧了它。找身难料，木定哪一日突然死去，此物难免不落入别人手中。故一直很担心。后来见您常到亲王家来，我想定有时机，心中才稍稍安定，也更有勇气忍耐了。今天果真等到了机会。这便是命呀！”一边哭一边告诉蒸君他诞生时的详细情况。 ”又说：“权大纳言逝世之后，我母亲忽患重病，不久也死去。我情感伤心，身着两重丧服，日夜忧愁悲叹。此时恰有一个对我暗用心机之人，花言巧语将我骗去，带着我到西海尽头o的住地去了，与京中全然断绝音讯。后来这人死于住地。我离开京城十多年了，今重返故土，真是恍如隔世。这里的亲王是我父亲的外甥女婿，我自幼常在他家出人，就想来依附于他。又想我已不能列入侍女之列，冷泉院弘徽殿女御往日与我要好，当去投奔她。然而又觉无颜，终于未去见她，遂变成了林中朽木亦不知小侍从何时去了。昔年妙龄之人，今大都辞世。我这条老命如今还苟活于世，其实十分可怜，偏偏又不死，徒留于世。 ”不知不觉之间，天色已经大亮。黛君道：“不说也罢！这些往事一时也说不完。以后找个不必防人听见的时候，我们再好好谈谈吧。我仿佛记得：那个小侍从是在我五六岁时心病突发而死的。我若没有见到你，则将身负重罪，了此一生！ ”并君拿出一只小小的袋子来，袋内装着一大叠已经发霉的信件。她将袋子交给黄君，说道：“请您看罢就将它烧毁吧。当时权大纳言对我说：'我已经没有指望了。 '便将这些信全部整理起来，交付与我。我原想再见小诗从时交与她，托她代为转交，却想不到她却永远地离去了。我非常悲伤，不仅因为我和她交情甚厚，更为了不辜负权大纳言之托。 ”表君装作没事样的接过信，藏人怀里。他想：“这种老婆子，会不会将这件事当作奇闻传扬出去呢？ ”颇不放心。但这老侍女再三发誓，说“决不向任何人透露。 ”他又觉得或许不会，心中犹疑不安。早餐时蒸君胡乱吃了一点东西，准备告辞。乃对八亲王道：“昨日是朝廷假日。今日宫中斋事一完，冷泉院的大公主患病，我须得前去看望一下，因此没有空闲。待我将诸事办妥，且山中红叶还未凋零之时，定再前来拜访。 ”八亲王欣然应道：“如此赏光，真使山居添色不少。 " 黛君一回到家，即拿出装信的袋子。只见这袋子是用中国的浮纹统做成的，上端绣着一个“上”字。袋口用细带束着，打给处贴着一张小封条，写着柏木的名字。黄君在启封时惴惴不安。打开袋子一看，里面装着各种颜色的信纸，是三公主给柏木的回信。又有柏木亲笔信：“我今病情危急，大限将至。以后即便比这更简短的信，我也再不能随意写给你。然而对你的爱恋，却愈发深刻！想起你已削发为尼，悲痛无比……”其信很长，写满了五六张陆奥纸。字迹奇怪，犹如乌迹，并附诗云： “吉今辞尘俗，披剃着级衣。我欲永世别，孤魂更悲凄。”最后又写道：“喜讯亦已知晓。知此予幸蒙庇护，我心略安，然“小松呈生机，偷生岩根下。若存生在世，旁观亦解意。”写到这里，笔迹零乱不堪，似乎又写不下去了。信封上写道：“侍从君启”。这只袋子几乎被虫蚀殆尽。那信件十分陈旧，霉气难闻，然而字迹却很清晰，就像新近才写的一样。文句也很顺畅，值得细读。尊君想道：“正如非君所说，这样隐密的东西，倘若落入他人手中，真不知如何是好！此类事情，怕世间少有吧。”他暗自垂泪，愈发悲伤。本打算今日入宫探望病人，但因心情抑郁，未曾前往，便去拜见母亲。只见三公主神情专注，正一心一意地念经。看见他来，好像略觉不便，便藏过经卷。尊君想：“我又何必揭穿她这些秘密呢！”只好将此事深埋心底，独自悲叹连连。
