He Xichen [Quick Transmigration]

The sky is red, and it will be near dusk.The lush jujube trees in the courtyard cast a dark shadow, and occasionally magpies nest on them.

He Xichen glanced at the two people opposite - Su Ruoyuan was expressionless, eyes downcast in deep thought, while Su Jiu bit her lip and twisted her handkerchief nervously.

They have all grown up.

Su Ruoyuan is tall and tall, handsome and upright like a bamboo, without the weakness of ordinary scholars, with his sleeves rolled up, and healthy muscle texture, he has a lot of strength at first glance.Su Jiu is in her best years, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, she is slim and graceful, and her graceful figure leaning against the window listening to the rain is worthy of a painting.

And he was old too.

"Ajiu, what do you think about Dao Cun?" He Xichen asked gently.There was no trace of doubt or oppression in his eyes, Su Jiu's tense mind suddenly relaxed, she loosened the handkerchief wrapped around her fingers, her clear pupils looked straight at her most beloved father: "I am happy with him , I... want to stay with him for the rest of my life."

Su Ruoyuan's head drooped even lower, and the aura around him instantly languished.

"I know my brother loves me, but just like what my father said, there are some things that you can only know if you do it. Ah Jiu is not afraid of making mistakes. If you make mistakes, it is nothing more than the result of "If you are ruthless, I will rest". "

"My sister, Su Ruoyuan, how can I let someone bully me!" Su Ruoyuan stood up abruptly, just thinking that Su Jiu might suffer, he was very angry.

He Xichen was still immersed in fury, but He Xichen laughed out loud.

"If Wen Daocun knew that you missed him so much, I'm afraid he would have to wail in front of the door for three days before he would give up." He Xichen didn't have Su Ruoyuan's concerns, he judged his character by his face, Wen Daocun was henpecked, and although Su Jiu was soft and weak, But he has his own ideas very much, it's really hard to say who is bullying whom.

Su Jiu also pursed her lips and smiled, and gave He Xichen a reproachful look.

Su Ruoyuan was blushing from the laughter of the two of them, but she was too embarrassed to ask what was wrong.

"But Ruoyuan is right. If you dare to offend my Su family's daughter, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences." He Xichen looked at the last ray of light in the sky being swallowed by darkness, and smiled slightly.

The marriage between Wen Daocun and Su Jiu was settled very quickly.Two months later, on an auspicious day after much deliberation, a grand wedding caused a sensation in Heyang Village.

The young students, who had been taught by He Xichen, dressed in neat attire, obviously came prepared, one question per ten steps on the ten-mile long street, a mighty figure for the sparsely populated Su family, and it seemed that they wanted to block Wen Daocun at the door.Even Lu Shuang joined in the fun and flipped through ancient books to find a few calculation problems, which baffled a large group of people. In the end, Wen Zhanhe, who couldn't see it, came out and solved the problems and pulled Lu Shuang aside to let the wedding party pass.

Thanks to the many scholars in Wen's family, everyone offered advice and sent Wen Daocun to the door of Su's family abruptly.In front of the festively decorated gate, Su Ruoyuan stood with his hands behind his back, with an unpredictable expression.

He critically looked at Wen Daocun who was accompanied by a smiling face, as if he was going to oppose the marriage in the next second with a look of disgust.

Wen Daocun was sweating coldly, but he saw Su Ruoyuan dodge and get out of the way.

"Treat my sister well, or else!" The murderous intent was clearly revealed.

Wen Daocun's expression turned serious: "Thank you, brother Ruoyuan!"

At the end of the courtyard, Su Jiu, dressed in red makeup, was standing beside He Xichen, Aunt Li had a big red flower on her hair, and she was smiling brightly.

Seven years passed like water, and the young lady who was like a green plum in the past put on a phoenix crown and Xiapei for him, and solemnly made a promise to grow old together with him.

Wen Daocun was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he suddenly shook his head and smiled like a fool, then straightened his expression, and bowed gratefully to He Xichen.

……

The aftermath of the wedding was spent peacefully in the wretched mouths of the women. Now only He Xichen and Su Ruoyuan were left in the quiet Su residence, plus a nagging old servant girl. The sound of cicadas resounded throughout the summer.

Su Ruoyuan was writing a policy question in the shade under the eaves, when he looked up and saw his father knocking on the jujube tree by the wall with a bamboo pole, he couldn't help but shook his head amusedly.

"What are you laughing at?" He Xichen grabbed a handful of half-green jujubes and put them on his table, picked up his strategy question, looked at it, and said, "Let's end next year."

Su Ruoyuan was surprised for a moment, but felt that it was expected.

"Yes."

In the past six years, He Xichen didn't let Su Ruoyuan go off the stage. Firstly, it was to hone his character, secondly, to accumulate a lot of money, and thirdly, to exercise his muscles and bones well.After all, Su Ruoyuan was too young and frail, the environment of the scientific examination was harsh, and he didn't have a strong body, so he might not be able to make it to the end.When Su Changqing came back from the provincial examination, he fell seriously ill.

"Ruoyuan, you have a steady temper and never let me worry about it. It's just that you are too thoughtful. Sometimes you might as well discuss it with Dao Cun... Don't take it seriously. Although Dao Cun is a bit out of the way, he is more sophisticated in dealing with people than you. Much more."

"Father, why are you saying these things all of a sudden?" Su Ruoyuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

He Xichen laughed a few times, put his right hand into a fist and coughed a few times: "Say what you want."

The sound of the horse's hooves falling on the bluestone slab was heard along the alley, and an old black horse snorted and stopped at the door of Su's house.Aunt Li, who went home to visit her relatives a few days ago, carefully climbed down from the carriage, carrying her burden and thinking about it.He Xichen hurried over to give his hand, and then called the groom who was driving the carriage to come in for a cup of tea.

The carriage was bought to hold Su Jiu's generous dowry when she got married, so it is usually useful.

He Xichen helped Aunt Li into the door, and said gently, "I will trouble you to take care of that child Ruoyuan in the future."

"What are you talking about! Master Ruoyuan is a good boy, and he even helped me fetch water and sweep the yard, what's the trouble!" Aunt Li gave him a blank look, "I've worked so hard, I was born to serve you two!" said Sighing with resentment and strangeness, "My body is still very strong, and it won't be a problem to live another 30 or [-] years."

He Xichen laughed, and whispered softly: "That's okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Then he turned around and jumped into the carriage under the astonished eyes of everyone, raised his whip and swung it, the wheels ran over the bluestone slab, and he rode Juechen.

In the Wen Clan School, Wen Zhanhe was still instructing the children in the clan to write scriptures, when suddenly he heard the noise of horses outside the door, and the guard at the door shouted: "Mr. Su! Mr. Su! Master Qi is still in class!"

Wen Zhanhe's heart skipped a beat, and he sternly shouted to the whispering children: "You read books first." Then he went to the door to check the situation, but saw He Xichen holding the reins, with a happy smile on his face, as if riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge high-spirited boy.

"Wen Duanji, I want to visit Lichuan and Baishan, would you like to go with me?"

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the intense light shrouded He Xichen's body, so dazzling that he couldn't look directly at it.

Wen Zhanhe was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he had already gotten into his stolen car.

"There's no reason for that! Deviate from the scriptures! What a system!" Wen Zhanhe cursed into He Xichen's ear with an angry look on his face.

He Xichen's head hurt from his noise, he stretched out his foot and kicked him into the carriage: "Shut up, you old bastard! If you keep nagging, get out!"

"I'm afraid you will die on the way! Otherwise, I will follow?"

Wen Zhanhe in the carriage persistently yelled at him with references to the sages and sages he had read, without using a word of swearing, He Xichen curled his lips, suddenly regretting his whim.

He Xichen ignored the pursuit of Wen and Su's family, but was stopped by Lu Shuang in the middle of the road at the village head.

"Mr. Su is too dishonest, don't take me with you if you have fun!" Lu Shuang nimbly jumped into the carriage, opened the curtain, and Wen Zhanhe's cheeks and ears were flushed, and his chest was panting violently with anger.She patted He Xichen's shoulder, "What's wrong with him?"

"Who knows." He shrugged.

"wsdfghj%[email protected]#!!!"

There was silence.

"He swears, right?" He Xichen asked in a deep voice, frowning.

"Well, Layman Hushan! Wen Duanji, who is strict with self-discipline! The dignified Mr. Wen Qiye! You are swearing." Lu Shuang paused every word, with a serious expression.

"Hahahaha!" The two burst out into violent laughter, Wen Zhanhe covered his face, wanting to die of shame and indignation.

When people in later generations talk about the famous friendship between Wen Sulu and the three men, they can't avoid this unrestrained fun, although in He Xichen's view, this is just a noisy afternoon.

He Xichen's unexpected farewell also abducted the seventh master of the Wen family and the daughter of the Lu family, leaving the scholars in Heyang Village very lonely for a while.The three of them were completely unaware of all this. When they received the letter from home, the old men and Lu Shuang thought of returning a letter to their family.

The three of them floated from the Xichao River to Heling by boat, stayed overnight at the Taoist temple on Heling, and discussed the Tao with the old temple master.I don't know the time in the mountains, but he stayed for a month. During this period, He Xichen contracted the cold and lost a lot of weight. The Taoist robe in Tsing Yi fluttered in the wind, as if he really wanted to turn into a fairy and leave.Wen Zhanhe would always reprimand viciously: "Standing in the wind will kill you!" Then he would rudely drag people into the audience.

The Taoist robes are embroidered with red-crowned white cranes soaring to the sky. He Xichen often teases Wen Zhanhe: "You really became a crane?" Take care of this boring guy.

And Lu Shuang would put on a cloak for He Xichen thoughtfully, and make fun of each other, making Wen Zhanhe furious.

After leaving the Taoist temple, the three of them followed the passing caravan and went straight to the coast of the East China Sea.On the way, I participated in the first and second literature meetings, exchanged ideas with others, and spread the name of my talents.

In the Luoyang Inn, Su Ruoyuan carefully read the letter sent back by He Xichen over and over again, and then put it into his close-fitting clothes.

Wen Daocun squinted his eyes sourly and said, "Mister, why didn't you write me a letter?" After hearing this, Su Ruoyuan, who was expressionless, finally bent his mouth triumphantly, giving him a rare good look.

"There is an exam tomorrow, are you ready?"

"Of course!" Wen Daocun patted his chest, it was the peace talisman Su Jiu begged for him.The Duan Inkstone that He Xichen gave him when he was young was stored in the bookcase as a reassurance.

The peace talisman of the Hushan ancient temple is very effective. It is said that when the drought occurred more than 100 years ago, this temple took in many displaced victims. In the middle of the night, the rats knocked over the lampstand, and the fire raged, but the people inside did not notice it. They slept until dawn , still unharmed.

The township test has passed, and the next step is the meeting test.

It is the dream of many men to pass on the people in the Golden Palace and to roll their names outside the Donghua Gate!

Su Ruoyuan looked at the bright moon outside the window, all he knew was that only when he was a Jinshi, could his name resound across the river north and south, and be heard by his father with the east wind.

He Xichen, who was going down the mountain road, seemed to have sensed it, looked up at the moon in the sky, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and continued on his way with a branch sticking to the sound of Wen Zhanhe and Lu Shuang's bickering.

The mountains and forests are cloudy, the lake is shimmering, and a fishing fire illuminates the awning boat, sailing from the center of the river to the distant mountains.Cloudy and sunny, the tide ebbs and flows, time moves forward with the flowing water.

……

There were two high officials in Heyang Village, and the style of writing gradually flourished.And the two "Wenquxing" they mentioned and Su Jiu, who was dressed as a man, bought a few steamed buns at that familiar stall, and sat on the steps in the same order as they did back then, leaving a space in the middle.

It seems that the gray-clothed scholars are still there, and they just bought hawthorn candies for them.

The streets are bustling, with students picking out books in bookstores, and children clapping excitedly among the acrobats.

Su Jiu suddenly burst into tears.

The light was yellowish, sprinkled on the desk, illuminating rolls of rice paper.

The half-white haired old woman calmly polished the ink for her husband who was writing on his head, then picked up the "Li Chuan Travel Notes" at hand, and flipped through it page by page.Wen Zhanhe, who was getting old, finished writing the last word, and let out a foul breath.

Because of the New Year's Eve gambling agreement, he rarely speaks publicly because of his good face. Now that Huang Tu is half buried, he simply compiles the travel notes of the mountains and rivers he has traveled in his life. Funny things are recorded.

"Why are you reading this book again?" Wen Zhanhe only glanced at it and knew what it was.

"It's not like you don't know, Mr. Su likes this book very much." The old woman smiled, her choking expression was as straightforward as when she was young, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, "Mr. Su always doesn't suffer , to be sad is to let both of us be sad first."

Wen Zhanhe wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Shuang's eyes at a loss, and sighed deeply, maybe because he was old, he suddenly became sentimental.

He drew a pen and added the loser's bet of the year, "I'm not the only one. I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. I'm not as good as Su Chengyou in Heyang."After thinking about it, I added another sentence—only this book is to mourn my old friend.

His life is coming to an end, but luckily there is still that period of wanton time to remember.Having a confidant for half a lifetime, and a lifelong love, and being able to say a word even after death, it is worthwhile to come to this world for a lifetime.
