After the banquet, as an uncle, Jiexisi and Xiuran talked for a long time. But how could Xiuran tell his uncle clearly what was on his mind, it was just a hypothetical saying that it was because of the poor mood caused by Chunwei's failure in the ranking at the beginning of the year.
It was getting late, and Jiexisi stayed in Zhao's guest room. He wanted to send Qingwan and his brother back to Zhen's house in Wengshan early tomorrow morning without delaying his work.
[1] "Cold Night" Jiemusi Poem
? Sparse stars and frosty sky, flowing moon and wet forest;
People in the virtual hall don't sleep, and sometimes they hear a leaf falling.
Sparse stars are scattered in the frosty sky and condense, and the hazy moonlight makes the withered grass on the ground more moist.
Xiuran's knot in his heart failed to help him resolve it, which made Jie Xisi sleepless: Xiuran is the only flesh and blood left by his sister, and he cannot live up to his sister's entrustment at the time of death.
However, the more people can't fall asleep, the more peaceful the night sky will be. A dead leaf fell to the ground, and Jiexisi heard it for real.
He got up and put on his clothes, walked to the courtyard, bent down and picked up the falling yellow leaf, and played with it in his hand.
"What treasure did you pick up?" A voice came over.
Jiexusi looked up and saw Yu Tian, ??and said, "Oh, sister, what's the matter, you haven't slept yet?"
"That's right! Qingwan was talking to Shuxian in the boudoir and left Yu'er to take care of me. This naughty ghost just fell asleep" Yu Tian came to Jiexusi's side and asked, "What are you looking at?" ?¡±
"Falling leaves."
"What's so good about fallen leaves?"
"Don't you think it's like a person's life?"
"Yeah, like me now, I am old and pale, abandoned by the spring breeze"
Jiemusi smiled and said, "I told you 'life', but you mentioned 'Pearl Yellow' to me."
"Isn't it the same?"
"No! Life is short, but it is serious. People are just passers-by in this vast world. But since we have come, we should leave something behind, which can at least prove that we have been to this world.
"Then, what do you want to leave behind?"
"Do you want to leave dissatisfaction with real life? Confusion about life? Or some unnecessary depression about yourself? I think these should not be left behind! Instead, we should leave behind a correct understanding of life and a solid foundation to set foot in the world. footprint!"
The leaves fell one after another.
The wind is blowing, and the leaves are spinning around in the wind, and it is fighting with the wind.
Yu Tian also picked up a piece, like picking up a piece of the answer to life; she looked at it, as if savoring her own life, savoring her own different life.
"It is going to rain!"
"Yes! Autumn rain, without the silent moistening of spring rain, without the endless downpour of summer rain, without the cold and slippery winter rain, the autumn rain is desolate and desolate, giving people infinite melancholy"
The rain, falling, was very thin, covering the entire courtyard hazyly, making everything blurry, as if it had been covered with a veil, and it was also like an ink painting.
Yu Tian took Jiexusi's hand and hid under the eaves that stretched out, like two barn swallows, sticking to the wall side by side
"The rain tonight has a different kind of beauty."
"Because, watch the rain with me!"
Jiexisi smiled, but did not respond.
The raindrops are connected into a line, hanging down like a bead curtain, and the leaves seem to be dancing. One by one, they are hit by the raindrops and sway gently, appearing more shiny and radiant.
Jiemusi said again: "I think, the rain at this time must be the petals gently shaken off by fairies."
"Huh¡ª" The long and long autumn wind blows, and the heavy rain follows. The raindrops are big and dense, and through the heavy rain curtain, it seems to be seen¡ªthe flower buds that seem to be delicate during the day are blooming quietly at this time, and they are extraordinarily tenacious in the cold wind. Qiu Yu seemed to be moved, and gently brushed over its face, washing away the dust for it, making it more colorful and bright.
"Look, how much does that Qiu Ju look like you?!"
"How to be like me?"
"There is happiness, there is pain, of course, there are also setbacks and misfortunes But as long as you have the courage to fight hard and dare to challenge, you will bloom brilliantly in the wind and rain"
"Remember, when you found me in Lingzhou [now Dezhou City], it was raining."
"Yes, the heavy rain hindered the return journey."
"It's not the rain, it's that I don't want to go home at all."
Looking back on the past, Jiexisi couldn't help sighing, and recited a song "Autumn Osmanthus"[1]:
"Thinking about the past"crossing the river,
The green moth looks down at the mountains.
Sleep together and listen to the autumn rain,
The small quilts and light quilts are cold respectively. "
This poem describes two past events: one is the first meeting; the other is running away.
Thinking of the first meeting between Jie Xunsi and Yu Tian, ??it was quite romantic. It was the "Elephant Washing Festival" in the eleventh year of Daedeok [1307].
[2] "Miscellaneous Odes of the Capital" by Yang Jingting. Poem
The Sixth Street car sounds like a thunderbolt,
Come to Xuanwu Gate every day and noon;
The gong beats the washing elephant,
The water under the Yuhe Bridge was initially muddy.
Speaking of the "Elephant Washing Festival" on June 6th, it was a legal festival in the Yuan Dynasty.
After Kublai Khan established the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, countries such as Siam [Thailand], Shan State [Myanmar], Annan [Vietnam], Koryo [North Korea], Java [Indonesia] and other countries at that time came to congratulate with precious gifts. Among them, Siam, Shan, and Annan bring elephants to worship every year.
In the hot weather, elephants bathe and play in Xiya [now Jishuitan] near the capital city of Yuan Dynasty, attracting people to watch. For the domestication and management of elephants, the emperor also specially established an elephant room, an elephant performance center and an elephant training center, and recruited elephant slaves and elephant trainers from Shan State. The elephant slaves were usually raised by the elephant slaves and trained by the elephant trainers. At that time, Xiangfang was located at the root of the city wall on the west side of Shuncheng Gate [that is, at the Xinhua News Agency compound in Xuanwumen today, and it still has the reputation of "Xianglai Street" and "Xiangfang Hutong"].
At that time, when the emperor was in court, offering sacrifices or going on tour, in order to show his majesty, he would set up a huge honor guard composed of chariots, horses, elephants, drums, music, flags and umbrellas. Every grand celebration, elephants were also indispensable members. Every year on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the day to clean the elephants.
After the third emperor Boer Jijin Haishan[1] of the Yuan Dynasty ascended the throne, in order to flaunt the scene of "Pu Congleng" and having fun with the people, he planned to let those who dare not go out to be kept at home on the "Xiangxiang Day". Every lady can walk out of the house. Emperor Wuzong decreed that every official in Beijing with a fifth grade or above should have a woman, dressed up beautifully, riding an elephant on the street to show the peace of Wuzong's dynasty ¡??
