Chapter 950 Do you like peach blossoms?
Wild grass and flowers are beside Zhuque Bridge, and the setting sun is slanting at the entrance of Wuyi Lane.
The swallows that once flew in front of Lu Jingtang now fly into the homes of ordinary people.
Although Wei Changtian was talking about a poem describing the "scene at dusk", the focus of Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane" in his previous life is undoubtedly on the last two sentences.
The original poem was "The swallows in front of the hall of Wang and Xie in the old days". Considering that there are no Wang Dao and Xie An in this world, Wei Changtian simply changed it to "Lü Jing".
"Lu" naturally refers to the deceased Dahui Emperor Lu Hongji.
"Jing" refers to the Daqian Emperor Jing Guoqing who will die tomorrow.
The meaning of the whole poem is not difficult to understand, and the metaphor is not obscure. For He Jing, who has already reached the stage of the palace examination, he can naturally understand it.
But precisely because he understood, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he stood there in a daze for a while.
On the other side, Wei Changtian had no intention of explaining anything. He just stood up and slowly walked out of the front hall.
"Master Wei."
The maid guarding the door saw him coming out and immediately raised her hand to greet him. Then she looked at He Jing who was still sitting in the room with confusion and asked, "Well, what's wrong with my young master?"
"Oh, I was just discussing poetry with Brother He, and he seemed to have some insights. He must be comprehending poetry right now."
Wei Changtian replied in a low voice: "Let's not disturb him."
“.”
Although Cui'er was just a maid, she served the scholar after all. Therefore, she immediately understood Wei Changtian's meaning and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She hurriedly followed Wei Changtian and walked a few steps, then she thanked He Jing softly:
"Master Wei, thank you for giving my master some advice."
"It has nothing to do with me. It's just that Brother He had an epiphany."
Wei Changtian smiled and shook his head. After a pause, he asked softly:
"I heard from Brother He that your name is Cui'er?"
"Ah! Yes, my maid's name is Cui'er."
"Don't know what the full name is?"
"this"
The maid was slightly stunned, probably not understanding why Wei Changtian asked this.
However, considering the latter's identity, she still answered truthfully: "My lord, my last name is Cheng."
"Cheng Cui."
Wei Changtian nodded and repeated it in a low voice, causing the maid's face to blush.
"Wei, Master Wei, you can just call me Cui'er."
"Oh well, I shouldn't have asked."
Wei Changtian smiled and said "I shouldn't ask too many questions", but then he asked:
"Miss Cui'er, have you been in the He family for many years?"
"Well, I entered the He family when I was young."
Cui Er was not very alert. Although she still couldn't understand why Wei Changtian wanted to know about her, she answered truthfully: "It's been ten years."
"Ten years. No wonder Brother He cares so much about you."
Wei Changtian said casually, and Cui'er lowered her head shyly.
It is obvious that, like Yuan'er and Qiuyun, Cui'er should have been serving He Jing since she was a child.
Although the He family is not as good as the Wei family, her identity is probably not a "maid", and she and He Jing may not have any physical relationship.
However, it can be seen that Cui'er is quite fond of He Jing, and the latter also has some feelings for her.
Therefore, after He Jing gets married, Cui'er will most likely be able to become a concubine.
No wonder she is so shy now.
“Haha, even though I’ve only known Brother He for a short time, I can tell that he has excellent character.”
Glancing at Cui'er who blushed, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "You won't be wronged if you follow him."
"Please excuse my embarrassment, sir."
The blush on Cui'er's face had spread to the base of her neck, and her voice was as soft as the hum of a mosquito.
Feeling shy yet happy, she responded and didn't know what to say next.
Wei Changtian smiled and his eyes fell on the peach blossom hairpin again.
".Do you like peach blossoms?"
After a moment, Wei Changtian suddenly asked a somewhat puzzling question.
Cui Er was startled when she heard this. After noticing Wei Changtian's gaze, she subconsciously reached out and touched the hairpin in her hair. She replied softly, "Sir, as for Taohua, I can't say whether I like it or not. I just like this hairpin."
"Because this was given to you by Brother He?"
"yes"
“.”
Wei Changtian opened his mouth and was suddenly speechless. After a long silence, he just said softly, "Very good."
Cui Er was somewhat puzzled by his question and reaction. Just when she was about to ask something, the door of the room not far away suddenly opened. The next moment, He Jing, who had finally come to his senses, ran out in a hurry.
"Brother Wei, this poem of yours."
The voice stopped abruptly. He Jing saw Cui'er beside Wei Changtian, so he didn't finish his words. Instead, he said to the latter in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare dinner!"
"ah?"
Cui'er didn't know what was going on, but she could see that He Jing's face looked strange.
She wanted to ask, but because Wei Changtian was still here, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned and walked away.
It was only then that He Jing finally lowered his voice and said to Wei Changtian in panic:
"Brother Wei! This is an anti-poetry!"
"Oh? Why do you think it's an anti-poem?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Just because of the word Lü Jing in the poem?"
"What else?"
He Jing's eyes widened: "The word 'Lu' refers to the Lu family of Dahui, and the word 'Jing' refers to the Jing family of our dynasty. Add to that the old swallows in front of the hall. This, this is not an anti-poem, what is it?"
"Brother He."
There was no rebuttal and no explanation.
Wei Changtian just turned his head to look at He Jing, whose face was flushed, and asked with a smile: "If it is really an anti-poem, will you report me to the government?"
"Of course not."
He Jing took a half step back cautiously: "But please don't associate with me anymore, Brother Wei."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded calmly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the answer.
He just glanced at Cui'er who had walked away, then retracted his gaze and said the last words to He Jing.
"Brother He, what this poem says will soon come true. If you trust me, then make preparations early."
“.”
After saying this, Wei Changtian turned around and left the courtyard without paying any attention to He Jing who looked stunned.
The former was still standing there blankly, repeating Wei Changtian's last words in his mind.
What this poem said will soon come true. Nowadays, Lu Hongji has already died, and Da Hui has already been destroyed and turned into the so-called Da Chu.
So, could it be that Brother Wei was referring to His pupils suddenly shrank, and He Jing felt his legs go limp, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"This, this shouldn't be possible."
He kept mumbling the same words over and over again. After a long time, he suddenly realized what was happening and looked up, but he could no longer see Wei Changtian.
At this moment, He Jing certainly understood that Wei Changtian’s identity was not as “simple” as he said, but he did not associate him with the famous “Wei Yanluo”.
In his opinion, Wei Changtian should be a spy sent by the rebels.
So, should I report to the police?
If this is true, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. Perhaps one would not even need to take the imperial examination to become an official.
However , He Jing gritted his teeth and neither believed Wei Changtian's "crazy talk" nor reported to the police.
He just felt that Wei Changtian was a talented person and that he got along very well with him, so he couldn't bear to betray the latter.
He Jing slowly got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, and walked into the house with some trepidation.
At this moment, he was actually still a little confused about whether his choice was right or not.
He Jing probably never imagined that his slightly hesitant choice today would save the entire He family not long after.
