Chapter 25: Homesickness
After being dismissed, Qin Ce started his life of confinement, staying away from the battles in the court, reading books, playing chess and writing every day. He is a person who can endure loneliness, and his life is quite leisurely and comfortable.
But Zhang Jiu is not at all going well now. He was hesitating between going and not going, and was upset by the choice. Later, he got the exact news and confirmed Qin Ce's statement that the scientific research will be conducted again, but Zhang Jiu Depressed again.
Now it is November, and re-examination is easy to say, but it will not be resolved in a short while. Officials must be appointed, questions must be re-issued, examination rooms must be re-arranged, and so on. It will soon be the beginning of December, and when the results come out, it will be the next year.
So Zhang Jiu came to the conclusion that he was going to celebrate the New Year in the capital. Thinking about his relatives at home, his friends, and the generous lucky money, how could Zhang Jiu not be depressed.
And this is the first time that Zhang Jiu spends Chinese New Year outside at such a young age. Without his relatives by his side, only the homesickness that he misses his relatives every festive season, Zhang Jiu felt that he would definitely be extremely bleak on that day.
No wonder the ancients often said that 'if parents don't travel far, they must travel well'.This sentence not only tells them to care about their parents at home, but also tells them from another aspect that a person without parents by his side is just a piece of grass, without pain and no one to love, and they have to bear the misery after leaving home alone.
"Mr. Zhang, your letter." When Zhang Jiu missed his family very much, the shopkeeper brought a piece of good news.
Before Zhang Jiu could make a move, Jiang Ning snatched the letter from the shopkeeper with lightning speed, read the letter slowly under Zhang Jiu's fiery gaze, and handed the letter to Zhang Jiu respectfully. "Jiuye, please take a look."
Not in the mood to argue with Jiang Ning, Zhang Jiu took the letter impatiently, the familiar handwriting appeared in front of his eyes, Zhang Jiu unconsciously raised his lips, it was written by his mother Zhang Shuyun, Zhang Jiu could imagine Zhang Shuyun when he saw the letter The expression at that time was as if this person appeared in front of him vividly.
The content of the letter is a simple letter from home, nothing more than saying that everything at home is safe and worry-free, arrange for Zhang Jiu not to worry about home, ask him to take care of himself, and go home after the exam with peace of mind, very plain but full of warmth , like a thin hot spring nourishing his heart.
After reading it, Zhang Jiu immediately wrote a reply letter and asked the shopkeeper to send it back. Jiang Ning also wrote two letters, one to his mother and one to Zhang Jiu's mother.
"Master Jiu, I'm suddenly homesick." Jiang Ning felt sad when he thought of the day when he would go home in no time.
"I'm homesick too." Zhang Jiu rested his chin and looked in the direction of Xiangzhou with thoughtful eyes.
The two homesick children looked at each other and saw the longing in each other's eyes.
Jiang Ning lay down on the table and let out a long sigh, "Master Jiu, I suddenly remembered a poem you said before."
"Which one?"
"It's the song 'People say that the setting sun is the end of the world, and you can't see your home when you look at the end of the world'"
"People say that the setting sun is the end of the world, and you can't see home when you look at the end of the world. I hate the Bishan Mountain, which is blocked by the evening clouds!" Zhang Jiu continued.
Not seeing home, only after you really leave home do you know what kind of 'hate' it is.I used to read this poem to appreciate and tease, but now I really feel this kind of homesickness.Hate, there are many barriers, hate, can't fly back home immediately with wings.
"Ah!" Both of them let out a long sigh at the same time.
After Chen Zhuo knocked on the door and came in, what he saw was a scene of "holding hands and looking at tears, but choking speechlessly". There seemed to be a strong sense of sadness in the room, which made him unconsciously lighten his steps.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you so sad?" Chen Zhuo asked inexplicably. Generally speaking, Ning Jiang's appearance is normal, but Zhang Jiu is also very abnormal. Zhang Jiu, who has always been indifferent, appeared with Jiang Ning The same expression gave Chen Zhuo a sense of crisis that the sky was about to fall.
"Without him, I'm just homesick." Jiang Ning looked at Chen Zhuo with his eyes full of longing and sorrow.
"Why do you feel homesick?" In fact, Chen Zhuo wanted to ask a big man like Hao. Isn't it awkward to be homesick here?He was flustered at the sight, even if he was homesick, he had to think about it secretly in the dead of night when no one disturbed him.
"How can a son of an official like you who has never left home understand the loneliness and helplessness of those of us in a foreign land?" Jiang Ning sighed, with a face that you don't understand me.
"..." Chen Zhuo was speechless. It's not that he has never seen someone who left home, but it was the first time he saw Jiang Ning who was dying like this, but Chen Zhuo thought he was a gentleman, and he was sad when he Sometimes he can't do things that make things worse.
It was Zhang Jiu who rescued him from the embarrassment, "Brother Yuan Liang came to see us for something?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Chen Zhuo asked back.
"It's okay, why did you come to see us?" Jiang Ning continued.
"I came to see you because I have nothing to do." If there is something to do, he has no time to come.
"So you came to us for nothing." Jiang Ning finally concluded.
"..." Chen Zhuo was speechless.He already knew that Zhang Jiu and Jiang Ning did not intend to participate in the battle in the capital, and the fifth prince said that as long as they did not join any faction, they would not force it, so Chen Zhuo felt that there was no need for him to get close to them.
But now whenever there is nothing to do, Chen Zhuo will think of Jiang Ning and Zhang Jiu, and will come to them unconsciously, but every time he comes, he will regret it very much, telling himself not to come here again, because Jiang Ning's mouth is too embarrassing. People are discouraged, but when they realize that he has arrived again next time, they have to tell themselves that they must remember next time, and it has been repeated many times in this way.
So Jiang Ning has a certain reason for saying that he came here to find trouble.
"Brother Puhua is also homesick?" Chen Zhuo automatically ignored Jiang Ning's existence.
"Yes, I feel a little sad thinking that I might not be able to go home in time for the Spring Festival," Zhang Jiu said lightly.
"Lonely in a foreign land as a stranger, it is only natural for the Puhua Brothers to be sad when they miss their relatives during the festive season." Chen Zhuo didn't know that Zhang Jiu had thought so far, but he could understand his feelings, "But Don't be too sad, if you come, you will be safe, in fact, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the Spring Festival in the capital, Brother Puhua will treat it as a play, if I have time, I will come to find you."
"I'm afraid you'll be so busy that you won't be able to go to the north, how can you remember us?" Jiang Ning refused to let him go.
Can't he hear what kind words are?Chen Zhuo ignored Jiang Ning again, "Brother Puhua is still so calm about the scientific examination, it's really admirable."
"He's so calm. Master Jiu is immersed in sadness and can't extricate himself. He is not in the mood to read. You are too ignorant of people."
This time, without waiting for Chen Zhuo to turn on the shielding function, Zhang Jiu said, "You can treat him as air."
"..." Chen Zhuo exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Puhua has a high level of cultivation."
Treating Jiang Ning as air, Chen Zhuo sincerely felt that this was the best and most brilliant method he had ever heard. Sure enough, his admiration for Zhang Jiu was not without reason.
"If he practiced again, he would become a thousand-year-old demon." He still had a high level of cultivation, did he think he was cultivating immortality?
"As a thousand-year-old demon, I deeply regret that I didn't skin your cramps first, and I will work harder." Zhang Jiu looked at Jiang Ning with a half-smile.
"Master Jiu, you can see that he is the kind of person who is broad-minded and tolerant. He will definitely not care about a small person like me, right?" Jiang Ning knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately flattered Zhang Jiu.
"I've let you down. I, a thousand-year-old demon, are very vengeful and narrow-minded. If someone offends me, I will chop his body into pieces and make meat paste, then wrap it into buns and feed it to the dogs."
"Brother Puhua, I thought such buns wouldn't be eaten even if they were fed to dogs." Chen Zhuo interjected in a timely manner, firmly seizing this opportunity to attack Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at the unscrupulous duo with tears in his heart. Could it be that the one who is close to the vermilion is the one who is the red and the one who is the black is the black?It really shouldn't be!
