Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Lotus Seeds and Lotus Hearts

Since we form an alliance, we become friends.After Yang Hao entered Baihuawu for the third time, he was finally eligible to stay in Baihuawu for a meal.The host was Zhe Yuxun, commander of Yongan Jie, and only his younger brother Jiedu stayed behind Zhe Yuqing and Ren Qingshu, the transfer envoy, to accompany the guests. There were only four of them, and the dishes were even more elegant, but rare delicacies. During the banquet, the four of them poured wine and chatted. Naturally, they also talked about some household matters to enliven the atmosphere, but the main theme was still the major events such as Luling's cooperation with Fuzhou and Luling's self-organized army.As the transshipment envoy of the Yongan Army, Ren Qingshu was in charge of military supplies, while Zhe Yuqing was in charge of logistics as the post-stay of the Yongan Army. People talk and laugh while planning, and the detailed regulations for mutual cooperation and mutual support have been finalized in sevens and eighties.

After the banquet was over, Zhe Yuxun sent him out of the back house with a smile on his face, Zhe Yuqing and Ren Qingshu accompanied him out of Baihuawu, Yang Hao thanked him again and again, the two generals stopped and waited for him to board the carriage Driving to the bridgehead, they looked at each other and smiled and turned back into the dock. Yang Hao came here this time, and finally got a clear statement from Zhefu, he felt very happy, although he drank a few more glasses under the persuasion of the three generals, he was full of energy and not drunk.He was leaning against the window, facing the cool and fresh autumn wind, watching the rolling Yellow River water fascinated, when suddenly a carriage passed by, blocking his sight.

An old man was driving in the carriage, and next to him was a young girl, dressed in a cloth handkerchief, and a small shadow of a beautiful woman. Looking at her appearance, she could not be Zhe Ziyu.Yang Hao was overjoyed, and immediately called out: "Ziyu, Ziyu, stop, stop." The girl turned her head in surprise, and when she saw him, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise.Yang Hao stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, jumped out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "As soon as I entered Baihuawu, I was led to meet the handsome Jie, and I searched around for a long time but never saw you. Where are you going?"

Zhe Ziyu said sweetly: "The place you are going to is the important place of Zhefu. Of course I can't go there. I didn't know you were here. This is Zhejia's vegetable cart, and I go to the market to buy fresh vegetables. I am here Staying in the dock is boring, let's go out with this uncle's car to relax." The old man who drove the car quickly smiled at Yang Hao, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Yang Hao looked around and said, "Come on, get in my car." "This..." Zhe Ziyu looked at himself in a coarse green dress, and then at Yang Hao's glamorous body, wondering: "It's a bright day, my clothes may be inconvenient."

Yang Haohun didn't care, and said with a smile: "What's the inconvenience, the dust can't hide the pearls, the flaws can't hide the beauty, and what's the matter with the green clothes, what kind of clothes do you wear, you are still you, come here." Yang Hao stretched out his hand, and Zhe Ziyu smiled happily, and jumped out of the car briskly with his hand. Yang Hao helped her into his car, bowed his hands politely to the old man who drove the car and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, I will take Zhe Ziyu with me." The girl went out to play, and I will send her back when I turn back, if the uncle comes back early, please let the girl's ninth uncle know."

"Okay, okay, the old man understands." The coachman nodded and smiled, watching Yang Hao turn around and get into the car, he raised his whip and drove the car away. "Let's go to Biheyuan for a sit down. The environment there is very elegant. I used to pass by there, and I really like the quiet atmosphere there, but I haven't had a chance to go in and enjoy it. What do you think?" Smelling the faint fragrance of virginity on the girl, Yang Hao asked her what she meant with a smile, and Zhe Ziyu smiled and said: "Go wherever you say, anyway, I just go out for a walk, there is no one sure. where to go."

Yang Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I'll take you back to Luling Prefecture directly to be Mrs. Yazhai, do you have any objection?" There was a trace of ripple in Zhe Ziyu's beautiful eyes, and he said softly: "It's broad daylight, and you're talking nonsense again, let's go to my house to propose marriage after you're busy, okay?" "Yeah!" Yang Hao nodded, and said with a shy smile, "I'm impatient. Once I'm emotional, it's difficult for me. It's not as calm as you. Ziyu, although you are a folk girl, you have a big heart, like everyone else. Feng, it is Yang Hao's blessing to have you as a good match, if my mother..."

Speaking of this, Yang Hao felt sore, the old lady is just an ordinary country girl, she is a great mother, but an ordinary woman.Although Dong'er is simple and kind, in the heart of the old man, she always dislikes her status as a married person and regrets it.If she could see Ziyu who is generous and considerate, she must be very pleased, right? However, now that he is the lord of a family, the strange encounters would have been unimaginable in the past, but the old lady has been separated from him, and has never enjoyed a day of happiness with him.And Dong'er, Dong'er... Yang Hao's heart trembled slightly, his eyes were a little moist.He hurriedly turned his head away, not wanting Zhe Ziyu to see his strange expression.After a while, a pair of catkins covered his hands hesitantly, and slowly clenched them tightly. Yang Hao turned his head, and saw a pair of clear eyes staring at him quietly, neither saying anything nor saying anything. Don't ask, just look at him quietly like that, as if you already understand all his pains.

Listening to the rolling sound outside the car window, Yang Hao's heart was like a tide, the wheels rolled and bumped a bit, and he drove off the bridge.Yang Hao breathed out, and said in a low voice, "Ziyu, do you want to hear about my past?" Zhe Ziyu nodded gently, and said softly: "Okay, tell me, I'll listen." Yang Hao spoke in detail, starting from the moment he woke up from a serious illness and became cleared. He once said that he had heard about those past events with Fan Laosi, Liu Shixuan and others. Now that he said it himself, it is naturally more detailed and moving. Zhe Ziyu's eyelashes filled with tears when he heard this, and he suddenly threw himself into his arms without emotion, leaned on his chest, and said softly: "Brother Hao, I didn't expect that you have been wronged like this, and you have eaten so much food." bitter……"

Yang Hao gently caressed her smooth and smooth hair, and said softly: "Now, I have suffered so much, especially with you, God has compensated me enough. I... am satisfied." He Suddenly remembered something, paused his hand, hesitated and said: "But...but I'm going to wrong you..." Zhe Ziyu raised his face slightly, and said in surprise, "Why do you wrong me?" Yang Hao said solemnly: "Dong'er treats me with great righteousness and deep affection. She died for me, and the only thing I can give her now is a title. Yang Hao will not violate the oath he made at Jiguan Mountain in the past. , although she and I do not have the name of husband and wife, they are husband and wife. Yang Hao owes her a title. In the future, Yang Hao will build the ancestral hall and repair the genealogy, and she... will still be my wife."

Since ancient times, the succession of the family has relied on men to form branches, and the offspring also follow the man's surname, so the genealogy of the family tree is based on men, and women are not included in the family tree with their own surname, but they must be entered in the family tree of their mother-in-law.Even if the person has died, as the main wife, it should be recorded in the genealogy of the husband's family.If there is a person who has never been married and has no genealogical records of her husband's family, she will naturally disappear in the world. Although this is only a matter of status and does not affect the rights and interests of Suxian's wife, even in modern society, the eldest daughter of Huanghua is not willing to be a Suxian, let alone at that time.Yang Hao guessed that Zhe Ziyu was still a little reluctant after hearing this. Originally, it would not be too much for the ruler of a family to marry a lady from a great family, even if he continued to marry. Besides, in his eyes, Zhe Ziyu was just a distant relative of the Zhe family and a very ordinary folk woman, but once married, he would be a sequel, no matter how magnanimous he was. A girl who is a good girl also has a little grudge in her heart. Yang Hao doesn't want Zhe Ziyu to be wronged and resentful, so he still needs to make it clear. Zhe Ziyu was indeed a little unhappy, but Luo Donger's sacrifice for Yang Hao made her heart sway and she was very grateful.Furthermore..., she remembered what she had said to Tang Yanyan: when a girl is a man, the first thing a man notices is her breasts, but if she wants to catch a man's eyes again, it depends on her temperament and morality with mind up.Could it be that it's my turn to be as vulgar as ordinary women, and to drink the vinegar of a dead woman? What's more, Dong'er is a widow and a folk woman, her status is very humble.If he didn't mention the turmoil in the past, who would know Dong'er's deep love for him?But he never forgets it, and misses it to this day. He is a good man with deep love and good nature. Isn't this the kind of man I want to marry?If once he becomes prosperous and rich, he forgets about Luo Donger and never thinks about it. Wouldn't it be disgusting? Would I still like him like that? Thinking of this, Zhe Ziyu sat up straight, and nodded seriously: "Brother Hao, if you think of Sister Dong'er like this, she will be happy under the nine springs. Ziyu is not such a jealous vulgar woman , Sister Donger has paid a lot for you, she should be your wife, and it will be included in Yang's genealogy. Ziyu admires Sister Donger very much, and is willing to recognize her as the eldest sister." "Ziyu..." Yang Hao was inexplicably grateful, and held her catkins tightly, not knowing what to say. Zhe Ziyu stared at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think I'm very reasonable, very understanding, full of joy, want to say but don't know what to say?" "Yeah, that's right, that's right." Yang Hao nodded hastily. Zhe Ziyu made a mischievous face at him, and said with a shy smile, "Then just love him more from now on." Yang Hao was suddenly amused by her cute appearance, and the sadness in his heart suddenly became much lighter.
Biheyuan is actually the backyard of a Taoist temple. The monks in the Tang and Song Dynasties were very economical. Since this place is not as prosperous as Puji Temple in Guangyuan, the temple owner will naturally find another way to make money, so it is in the backyard. A door was opened on the wall, and renters and others opened several teahouses and vegetarian restaurants. There are small bridges and flowing water in Bihe Courtyard, green lotus and red lotus, the scenery is very elegant, but the taste of the people in the northwest region is relatively heavier, and they can't play with this light tone, so there are not many guests and it is very quiet. Yang Hao and Zhe Ziyu arrived at Bihe Courtyard and found a secluded corner to sit down. This was a stone pavilion with very low stools, and the sun shone obliquely. Right in front of their feet, there was a short stone railing. Below is half a pool of clear water, with lush lotus leaves, half-withered lotus flowers, and bowl-sized lotus pods hanging heavily on the stems. Zhe Ziyu sat down coquettishly and gracefully on the opposite side, with a graceful posture, dignified and faintly charming.Now that Yang Hao and her have been secretly engaged for life, they naturally have no scruples. Seeing that the little lady is seated gracefully, with a thin waist and snow-skinned skin, she can't help falling in love with her more and more, and really wants to swallow her in one mouthful. go. That presumptuous gaze made the girl's pretty face blush, if Xiao Er hadn't appeared at the right time, she would have been coquettishly angry again, if so, she still gave Yang Hao a hard look when she took a chance.It's just that those eyes seem to be reproachful, but they are unavoidably happy, who wouldn't want his lover to admire and admire him. The two ordered a few light dishes and a pot of tea.Yang Hao confided his plans to her, and Zhe Ziyu was the best listener, holding vegetables and tea for him, while listening to him. "So, brother Hao wants to go back as soon as possible?" "Well, a contract cannot restrain a hero like Jieshuai. Common interests are the basis for our cooperation to continue. No matter how detailed the plan is when staying here with Jieshuai, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to execute. There are many loopholes. I want to meet with Jie Shuai again to finalize the main details, and then rush back to Luzhou immediately. As for the detailed regulations of the cooperation, it can be gradually improved." "Hey, you always come and go in such a hurry, is it really in such a hurry?" Yang Hao sighed softly: "Whether Li Jiyun's leaving in anger will be detrimental to our Luling Prefecture is still hard to predict. I was born in a humble place, but in fact I have no ambitions, and I am very happy with the situation. But being forced When it comes to the head, I have to stand up and resist. Don't you see that I am relaxed and comfortable when talking and laughing with you. Now, I am surrounded by thousands of people. When I think about it, I often feel heavy in my heart. However, the gods and Buddhas who are all around me Everyone has their own thoughts..." Yang Hao was moved, put down his teacup and said: "Nowadays, every step of the way is full of entanglements, which makes me uneasy. I often wake up in dreams, and it is difficult to fall asleep again. I am afraid that the time of closing and opening my eyes , Luling Prefecture is already in a desperate situation. Tens of thousands of people are in a dilemma. They have to come to me to ask for a solution. The government wants to become an independent state and maintain the current situation in the northwest. The San Francisco is worried that Luling will become stronger and it will affect them. Yang Hao was in it, and he had no choice but to attach himself to the powerful vassals in a place where the emperor was far away. However, when he got closer to them, he was afraid of the officials... It is really not easy to get the position I am today. When I was not in this position, I never thought about it.Since I have already sat in this position, even though I have suffered a lot, how can I be willing to suffer another day?The righteousness of the people and the future of the individual can be described as difficult everywhere.Yang Hao, an official, acts as if he is facing an abyss and walking on thin ice. My heart is suffering..." "Brother Hao..." Zhe Ziyu stared at him for a while, his almond-shaped eyes were like smoke, then suddenly bent his waist slightly, leaned over to pick off a lotus pod, and gently peeled it off with his green fingers.The lotus seeds peeled off were white and crystal clear, and the grains were plump. Zhe Ziyu broke another lotus leaf and placed the peeled lotus seeds on the lotus leaf one by one. The snow-white lotus seeds and emerald green lotus leaves are like raindrops sprinkled on a bay of clear water, or like rain hitting plantains, making you intoxicated.Zhe Ziyu took another cup of tea that he had just filled for Yang Hao, took a toothpick, and carefully poked out the green lotus heart, letting the lotus heart fall straight into the tea. "Plucking lotuses in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flower surpasses the human head. Bow your head and pick the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water. Put the lotus in the sleeve of the lotus, the lotus heart is completely red. Recalling that Lang Lang will not come, look up at Feihong. Hongfei is all over Xizhou, and Wang Lang goes to the brothel. The height of the building can't be seen, and the head of the railing is full of sun. The railings are twelve-curved, and the hands are as bright as jade. The curtain rises from the sky, and the sea water shakes the empty green. Xizhou..." Yang Hao watched her graceful movements and focused expression quietly. Did she reveal a lotus seed, or a delicate girl's heart? Zhe Ziyu held up the lotus leaf and handed it to Yang Hao, smiled softly, and said, "Taste it, it's sweet." "En." Yang Hao responded, picked up a lotus seed, and gently put it in his mouth. The lotus seed overflowed his mouth with a faint fragrance. Zhe Ziyu smiled and said: "From the time when the seeds fell and took root, until the flowers fell and bear fruit, the lotus did not feel inferior because it was in the mud. It worked hard to straighten its body without vines or branches. The leaves and holy lotus flowers are presented in front of the world. The place where the lotus is wrapped is the essence formed by it absorbing wind and rain and bathing in the morning dew. This essence is its lotus seeds. The lotus seeds are sweet, but the lotus heart is bitter, but there is no bitterness. With a bitter heart, can lotus seeds still be sweet? Bitterness and sweetness are a pair of brothers, how much you give, the rewards you get will eventually far exceed your efforts." Zhe Ziyu picked up the cup of tea again, and said with a smile: "Although lotus heart tastes bitter, it is a good thing to cleanse the heart and calm the fire. Make a cup of lotus heart tea and taste it carefully. There is a trace of sweetness in the bitter taste, which will make you happy The heart is calm, and the depressed thoughts dissipate as the bitterness fades away." Yang Hao held the cup together with her hand, and said emotionally: "Ziyu, it is really my blessing to meet you, and having you by my side is that sweet lotus seed, Yang Hao is deeply depressed Yes, I don’t feel depressed anymore.” Zhe Ziyu smiled sweetly, and just about to speak, he heard a loud roar: "The car is parked here, where else can people go? The surname Yang, come out for me, and fight with me for three hundred rounds." .Ah~~~” Yang Hao and Zhe Ziyu looked up together, and saw a young man in green shirt barging in drunkenly, his handsome face was flushed, and the little girl who was blocking the way was pulled away by him, and then he backed out with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" " fell into the lotus pond with a thud, the young man in green shirt leaned back, and with a "crash", two small brooms were in his hands, and the man danced the two little brooms in his hand a few times. He stared straight at Yang Hao, and asked, "You, Yang Hao?" Zhe Ziyu asked in surprise, "Qin Yiyun?" Yang Hao stood up in astonishment: "Why did 'Bruce Lee' seek me?" Qin Yiyun pointed the nunchaku at Yang Hao, and shouted: "You are the one who robbed Yanyan from my house? Hit me!" After saying that, he stumbled forward and danced the two small broomsticks in his hand whistling like a windmill. Yang Hao turned pale with fright, hurriedly dodged sideways, looked left and right, seeing that there was no weapon in his hand, he saw Qin Yiyun staggering, Turning around abruptly, the little broom rolled back with a "woo" and hit his own forehead with a "bang". Yang Hao straightened his eyes immediately, and Qin Yiyun's eyes also straightened. A blood-stained snake snaked down from his forehead, and he praised with a big tongue: "Guo... really good skill, I'm not you... Enemy, admiration~~~ admiration" After saying that, he shook his body twice, and fell into the lotus pond with a "plop"...
