    [1] "The End of Spring" Poetry by Han Yu

    Xichun gets drunk day in and day out,

    After waking up, there are wine stains on the clothes;

    The floating flowers in the fine water return to the farewell stream,

    Duanyun entered the isolated village with rain.

    People are free and easy to have love and hate when they are idle,

    It is difficult to recruit the soul from ancient times;

    Ashamed of Liuying's kindness,

    In the early morning, it is still to go to the West Garden.

    For two consecutive days, Liu Yun went to the homes of relatives and friends to say goodbye. When he came back, he was drunk and passed out, and his clothes were all stained with wine stains.

    Liu Haohao assisted the maid to remove the soiled clothes for her father, and helped him to sleep.  The servant girl took off the dirty clothes to wash, and when she checked the clothes, she took out two pieces of letter paper.  Liu Haohao became curious, so he took it apart and looked at it. One piece was "The Great Hunger Journey" written by his uncle Jiexisi;  Content, Liu Haohao's small face immediately elongated a lot.

    She refolded the two letters, put them on the bedside table for her father, and ran all the way to tell her mother.

    As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother Liu Baishi was packing the luggage to take away, so he said, "Mother, I have some sad news for you."

    "Unfortunate news?" Mrs. Liu Bai raised her head and asked, "Is there anything more unfortunate than going to the deserted Nanman[1]?"

    "Mother, it's not unfortunate to go to Nanman. We went to Chengdu, the capital of Shuhan, the land of abundance, it's a very good place What I want to tell you is the great misfortune"

    "Then tell me quickly."

    Liu Haohao lay on her mother's ear and whispered, "My daddysomeone is outside"

    Liu Baishi pushed her daughter away and said with a smile: "Nonsense! Your father is not that kind of person."

    "Why don't you believe it! Wait a moment, I'll get the evidence to show you." After that, Liu Haohao wanted to win the letter.

    Liu Baishi hurriedly stopped her, laughed and said: "I believe you, I believe you, how can I not believe my daughter's words!"

    "Then why are you still laughing?"

    "If your father really has someone he likes, wouldn't it be a pleasure to marry into the house and be your companion?"

    "I don't allow her to compete for my favor."

    Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Liu Baishi asked: "How do you know that your father has someone he likes outside? Did he talk drunk?"

    "No, I saw the love letter she wrote to Dad."

    "Well, how did she write it?"

    "Listen well, I'll recite it to you." Liu put his hands behind his back and began to recite in an emotional tone, "There is frost on the canal and reeds at night, and the moon is cold and the mountains are all green;  Fortress Chief."

    Liu Baishi didn't seem to understand the love between men and women, so he asked: "What else?"

    "Gone."

    "Where is the word 'love' here? It is, and it is also friendship. Such a bold and unrestrained farewell poem, how did you know it is a love poem?"

    "Oh, no feelingsyou have to carefully tastethe last sentence: Limeng is like a passerby You see, she has kept her feelings 'how long', which means that she wants to follow us to Chengdu  Like"

    "Don't explain indiscriminately, the meaning of this sentence is-after parting, even the dream of reuniting has disappeared, just as far away as that far away pass."

    "That's right, it doesn't seem like there is a problem here? Look at the title again, it's called "Sending off Friends" [2]. Isn't this trying to cover up?"

    Liu Baishi looked at her daughter's face flushed with anxiety, and thought to herself: Is this little mind thinking about something all day long?  He laughed and said, "What are you trying to cover?"

    "Obviously it is a gift to a lover, but it is intentionally written as a gift to a friend."

    "You, it's really Nenghule, a friend is a friend, where does the saying of a lover come from? Besides, how do you know it was written by a girl?"

    "The handwriting on the letter is very beautiful. You can tell that it was written by a woman, and she is also a very beautiful woman."

    "It doesn't matter if it's written by a woman."

    "How can it be okay? Look at her meticulous drawing, stroke by stroke, is it unintentional?"

    Liu Bai said with a smile: "If you have the heart, let your father marry into the family and give birth to a little brother for you in the next year, wouldn't it be great."

    "I don't want it, I don't want it!" Liu pouted well, turned his head to one side, and became angry.

    [2] "Insomnia and Listening to the Rain" by Yang Wanli. Poem

    When the rain reaches the middle of the sky, there is no sound,

    Only smell the wind blowing lightly on the treetops;

    The tile ditch cleans up the residual water,

    and makeThere was a beeping sound.

    It rained all the time, from nightfall to midnight.

    The sound of rushing rain kept hitting people's eardrums, forcing Liu Yun to wake up from his drunken dream.

    People woke up, but the rain stopped.  In an instant, the world became extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops could be clearly heard; the rain on the eaves was still beating the steps drop by drop, it changed from big to small, fast and slow,  Till the remaining stagnant water, everything is cleaned up and turned into the last drop, a long, slow drip.

    Liu Yun couldn't help sighing.

    Hearing her husband's voice, Liu Bai quickly turned around and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

    "Oh." Liu Yun responded.

    Because Liu Baishi's daughter mentioned the love poem yesterday, she was so worried that she stayed up all night.  Seeing her husband waking up, she thoughtfully asked, "Otherwise, just leave her" Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, she immediately changed her words, "You might as well take a day off today, so that you can have the energy to cope with the bumpy road tomorrow."

    "Then why don't you say goodbye to your elder sister today?"

    "When Qingwan got married, I had already seen her. I don't need to tell her when I leave this time, lest our sisters be sad."

    "Isn't that good? I've gone to her uncle-in-law Jiexisi, why not go to her aunt? We just left like this, and your troublesome brother-in-law will definitely find me afterwards. Originally, I said  The eyes are on the top of the head, and I only value those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and look down on such a small family like him." Liu Yun paused, and then said, "Especially my brother-in-law's family has suffered such misfortune, if I don't move around, why should I close this door  relative."

    Speaking of the misfortune of her sister's family, Liu Bai burst into tears.

    Liu Yun asked, "Why are you crying?"

    "Crying for my miserable elder sister, who was such a noble person before, but suffered such humiliation and misfortune; and Qingwan, who should have had a happy marriage and married someone she liked. But now, she married a  Naughty children" Seeing that her husband was speechless, Liu Baishi suddenly remembered his sigh after waking up, and asked, "Just now, why did your husband sigh?"

    "King Taining[3] died the day before yesterday."

    "Who, died?"

    "King Taining."

    "It's the prince who bought slaves who helped her aunt's house get rid of the evil prime minister years ago."

    "yes."

    "Didn't you say that the prince is in his prime of life, how can he be dead when he dies?"

    "I also feel strange. Years ago, the imperial court granted 5,000 slave households in Taining County the title of King of Taining, and rewarded Yuqi for his loyalty to the imperial court when the current emperor was on the throne."

    "This is called 'first give you a sweet date to eat, and then kill you'."

    "Hey~ Don't talk nonsense, how could the emperor kill the prince?"

    "How obvious! The lord died unexplainably within less than three months after he was sealed How big of a secret is this for the lord to leak?"

    "Don't go out and talk nonsense."

    "Why should I go out and talk about this?" Liu Bai said, "Isn't this just whispering to my husband at home! So, it may not be a good thing for us to leave this place of right and wrong"

    Liu Yun looked at his wife, looked at each other and smiled: "I'm relieved if you can understand this way." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
