Spring in the mountains has finally come. In the season of Mengchun, the spirit of spring sprouts, which is exactly the spirit of the Spring Festival. Outside the mountains, both the official and the folk have to hold the spring cattle hunting ceremony, and Shangguan Mountain City, which is located on the high mountain beside the river, is no exception.
A few days earlier, the clay cows for hunting spring cattle had been molded. Early in the morning of the beginning of spring, some deacons placed the molded spring cattle under the altar in the suburbs. Shangguan Ding and his officials at all levels had already bathed and changed their clothes, and in plain clothes, they filed to the altar in the outskirts and placed sacrifices. After the whip was finished, four deacons came and carried the spring bull into the ancestral hall, Shangguan Ding and a group of officials followed behind. At this time, the people and children in the mountain city also followed up noisyly.
? After offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, a large banquet was held in the afternoon, and they drank until evening. Shangguan Ding and other officials were very drunk. In the evening, Shangguan Ding was still entertaining, so he asked Shangguan Jue and Tantaiyu to hold another family banquet.
Shangguan Jue winked at Tantaiyu and told him to bring the dagger that had been prepared for a long time to cut gold and jade.
The two came to Shangguan Ding's study room, where the family banquet was held. Shangguan Ding was half drunk at this time, saw them coming in, and said: "You don't have to be polite, I'm in a good mood today, you can enjoy a few drinks with me."
Tantai Yu Weiwei sat down. Shangguan Jue sat on the other side of the tripod. Tantaiyu and Shangguan Jue offered three glasses of wine to Shangguan Ding respectively. Shangguan Ding raised his beard and laughed loudly.
After drinking for three rounds, the lights are dim and hazy. Although Tantaiyu was toasting, she kept secretly staring at Shangguan Jue. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Shangguan Ding was so drunk that he couldn't even support himself. Tantaiyu suddenly discovered that the people who came to serve the wine seemed to be different from what they saw when they first came in.
At this time Shangguan Jue was holding a bowl of wine to toast to Shangguan Ding, Shangguan Ding took the bowl and wanted to drink. Shangguan Jue yelled: "Do it!" Shangguan Ding was very vigilant even when he was drunk, and immediately drank "what" and stood up, when the wine bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered. But it was too late, Tantaiyu had already rushed forward and stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
"Tantaiyu, I treat you well!"
Shangguan Ding covered his chest and shouted loudly.
"You old thief who insulted his righteous daughter!"
"Damn the righteous daughter?"
Shangguan Ding turned his head to look at Shangguan Jue with difficulty: "You, you are Shangguan Yue!"
"Uncle, I'm sorry!"
Shangguan Jue stabbed Shangguan Ding in the chest with a knife, and Shangguan Ding finally spurted out a mouthful of blood, dying of breath.
"Yulang, let's go out, my biological father has come."
Tantaiyu followed Shangguan Jue to the outside, only to see the torches lit up, the guard faces that Tantaiyu used to be familiar with were gone, replaced by some unfamiliar faces.
Suddenly, there was a burst of "hahahaha" laughter from the main road up the mountain in the mountain city, and Shangguanjue hurriedly stood on the side of the road and respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Welcome to father." Seeing that Tantaiyu was still standing still, hurriedly gave him a hand. Tantaiyu hurriedly stood on the side of the road and bowed his hands in salute.
Under the light of the torches, a majestic old man came up the main road of the mountain city. This old man's face was exactly like Shangguan Ding, but his skin was darker. Shangguan Ding had three long beards, but he had a red beard and a face The expression on the face is also much rougher.
Shangguan Tai came over and said to Shangguan Jue: "Hahaha, Yue'er, oh, Jue'er, you have done a great job!"
Shangguan Jue cupped his hands and said, "It all depends on my father's ingenuity!"
Shangguantai turned around, looked at Tantaiyu, reached out and patted his shoulder "haha" and laughed loudly: "Good boy, not bad, not bad!"
After all, he boldly entered the main hall.
Shangguan Jue said to Tantaiyu: "Husband, I'm tired, let's go back and rest."
Tantai Yuzheng was a little dazed, he always felt that something was wrong, and when he heard Shangguan Jue talking to him, he came back to his senses and replied: "Oh, good."
The lord of Shangguanshan City was replaced by Shangguantai, and all the officials were replaced by Shangguantai's cronies, and nothing else changed, but in Tantaiyu's view, nothing seemed to have changed.
The cold comes and the summer goes, the years fly by, and it is another year of spring in a blink of an eye. This year's spring seems to be more severe than the spring cold. Although it is the beginning of spring, there is still heavy snow falling this day.
For some reason, Tantaiyu had been dreaming of her old servant Tantai'an for the past few days, feeling restless. This night, despite the cold weather, she saw that Guan Jue had already fallen asleep, so she put on her clothes and went outside for a walk.
He didn't go out along the main road, but walked down a small road at random. At this time, the snow in the middle of the road has been swept away, revealing a clean bluestone road, and the remaining snow is piled on the road.On both sides, there is a blue-gray light in the night.
It was late at night, the whole mountain city was asleep, and he was the only one walking alone. On both sides of this small road are the residences of ordinary people in the mountain city. At this time, most of the residents inside have turned off their lights and fell into a deep sleep. Occasionally, there are one or two houses with lights on, and the lights are also dim.
He just strolled down, letting the trail take him wherever he seemed to vent. It's just that the road has an end after all, and it is impossible to go on endlessly, and this small road is no exception. There is a small courtyard at the end of the road. And except for the small path connected to the entrance, the other three sides of this small courtyard are actually bottomless cliffs. In this small courtyard, the main house is a small bluestone building with a black tile roof, and behind it is a bottomless cliff.
I don't know how long this path is. If she hadn't walked casually, Tantaiyu might never have found such a small courtyard in the mountain city, and such a small house with black tiles and bluestones. The lights were on in the room, perhaps because the lights in the room were very bright, which made Tantaiyu feel warm after walking for a long time in the cold snowy night, perhaps because he found someone who was also quiet at night but did not sleep soundly, and he couldn't help but feel kind Perhaps it was because he really couldn't help but want to chat with someone, so he pushed open the lightly concealed gate of the small courtyard and walked in.
