Yang Fan did not rush to the nunnery to find Ah Nu after seeing her yesterday because he wanted to solve the 'King Liang's Assassination Case' first. Otherwise, if Tang Zong and a group of Luoyang government servants followed him all day, it would affect his plan of chasing after Ah Nu.
After figuring out how to solve the 'King Liang's Assassination Case', Yang Fan also thought about how to change Ah Nu's mind. After thinking about it, Yang Fan felt that he could only use the method that was overused by the ancients — 'a virtuous woman is afraid of being pestered by a man'. It was an old saying passed down by the ancients for thousands of years, so there must be a reason for its existence.
Therefore, after seeing Ah Nu today, the series of seemingly joking words that Yang Fan said were all painstakingly thought out. Seeing that Ah Nu was angry and laughing at the same time, Yang Fan knew that Ah Nu's guard had been somewhat loosened. He was about to strike while the iron was hot when Ding Ding suddenly led a large group of old nuns, middle nuns, and young nuns to find them.
A group of nuns surrounded Yang Fan. Ding Ting Shitai put her palms together and said, "Since you have the decree of the National Protector, naturally you are a Buddhist monk. I wonder what is the purpose of your visit to our nunnery?"
Tin Aino hurriedly bowed to Ding Ding Ding and said, "Disciple greets Master!"
Ding Ding Ding nodded and looked at Yang Fan in a dignified manner. Yang Fan calmly said, "You are the abbot of this nunnery, right? To tell you the truth, I came with the decree of Master Huai Yi. Although I am a monk, I am not here to audit the affairs of your temple, but to find my wife who ran away from home! "
"Wife who ran away from home?"
The nuns were in an uproar. Ding Ding Ding was slightly surprised and quickly asked, "Who is your wife?"
Yang Fan pointed at Tin Aino and said, "Of course it's her!"
Tin Aino was angry and anxious and shouted, "I am not! I have nothing to do with him! "
Yang Fan spread out his hands and said helplessly, "Women always say one thing but mean another. You should understand."
Ding Ding and the group of old nuns, middle nuns, and young nuns were all speechless.
"Yang Fan, shut up!"
Tin Aino's almond-shaped eyes widened and she was full of anger.
Seeing this, Yang Fan hurriedly said to Nun Ding Ding and the others, "I'll tell Nun Ding the details later. Now, can Nun Ding give me some time to settle our family matters?"
"Who has family affairs with you!"
She glared at Yang Fan and said, Fan. Ding Ding glared and Yang Fan. Yang. She glared at Ding Ding. She glared at Fan.
Ding Ding Ding was extremely angry. "However, I don Fan, Monk Ding Fan will Huo, and is Fan, Master Huo Fan is is Huai, Ding Master is Huo Nu." However, since Monk Ding came with Great Master Huai Yi's decree, I believe he is not a bad person. I will leave for the time being. I hope Monk Ding can give this poor nun a satisfactory explanation! "
"Of course, of course, of course. Take care, Master!"
Yang Fan smiled from ear to ear and nodded his head repeatedly. Just as Nun Ding Ding left with the nuns, Tian Ai Nu's palm blade arrived. Yang Fan tilted his head and dodged her palm strike. He bent his fingers like a claw and grabbed Tian Ai Nu's wrist. Tian Ai Nu used her fingers like a sword and stabbed at Yang Fan's meridian point. The two of them started fighting in the bushes.
Ding Ding walked to a distance. When she turned her head and saw this scene, she couldn't help but put her palms together and repeatedly chanted, "Amitabha …"
…
As soon as Tin Aino and Yang Fan fought, she was surprised to find that Yang Fan's martial art skill was far above hers. In addition, she didn't want to hurt Yang Fan, so she didn't dare to use many sinister and ruthless moves. Inevitably, her hands and feet were tied. After exchanging dozens of moves, Yang Fan used a small grappling hand to entangle her wrists and firmly captured her.
Tin Aino glared at Yang Fan. She said angrily, "What do you want? Don't tell me you want to force me back home? "
Yang Fan said, "You were the one who made the first move. Don't blame me, okay? At least calm down and listen to me tell you a story, okay? "
Tin Aino's eyes widened. She said in surprise, "Tell a story!"
Yang Fan nodded solemnly. "That's right! A story! "
Yang Fan was afraid that she would escape. Still holding her hands, he dragged her to the edge of the pond. The two of them sat down on a rock by the pond. Yang Fan held her hands and suddenly asked, "Do you remember what I told you about me? I told you at that time that I can only tell you what happened after I turned nine. "
Tin Aino suddenly thought of that day, that night. That sumptuous meal on the table. Under that lonely lamp, he and she, a pair of man and woman in the same boat, each recounting their painful past. Tin Aino's eyes suddenly became somewhat hazy. The strength in her hands also unknowingly dissipated.
Yang Fan sensed her reaction and gently let go of her hands. Tin Aino fixed her eyes on Yang Fan. She faintly said, "Could it be that you want to tell me the story before you turned nine?"
Yang Fan lightly shook his head and said, "Yes and no. Not only the story before I turned nine, but also … from the day we broke up, the story that happened after that …"
Yang Fan began to narrate to Tin Aino. He first told her about his childhood, which made Tin Aino cry in sadness. He then told her about how after Tin Aino left, Maqiao accidentally killed Bao Yinyin, Wu Guangde was unjustly imprisoned, and Maqiao admitted his guilt. He told her about how he robbed the execution ground and was hunted down. So they stole the Taoist robe and were purposely forced by Xue Huaiyi to shave their hair and sneak into White Horse Temple.
He continued, "For revenge, after he found out that Xue Huaiyi intended to participate in the Shangyuan Tournament, he racked his brains to organize the Cuju, Juju, and Sumo tournaments. How he participated in the Palace Tournament, how he became an imperial guard, and why he approached Shanghai Wan'er …"
Yang Fan spoke in great detail, and Tin Aino listened attentively.
In the beginning, she wanted to put on a dismissive look. But who else in this world would have a life that was more tortuous, bizarre, and full of ups and downs than Yang Fan's? Unknowingly, Tin Aino was completely captivated by the story he told.
Yang Fan did not hide anything from A Nu, including the ambiguous relationship between him and Princess Taiping. He had already discovered that A Nu was the one who lacked the most sense of security among all the women he knew. At the same time, she was also the most meticulous and sensitive girl.
In this era, there might occasionally be one or two women who would have the idea of equality between men and women, especially when it came to marriage. But in this era, it was definitely an exception, a weirdo. They tried to challenge the order of this patriarchal society and were destined to have a tragic ending.
Based on the environment in which Tin Aino grew up and the education she received, it was impossible for her to have such an idea. When she saw that Yang Fan got married, she was inconsolable and even fled to Buddhism. It was not because he married a wife, but because she felt that she had been abandoned.
Although Yang Fan's marriage was arranged by the Emperor, unless he left, there was no way he could resist. But she came with a heart full of enthusiasm. Seeing this scene, it was natural that she was struck by lightning. How could she think so much?
Therefore, when Yang Fan told her about himself, he did not want to hide anything. Any concealment might cause a greater misunderstanding when she discovered something in the future. Moreover, the relationship between Princess Taiping and him had long been known to everyone. Although A Nu was practicing hard in the nunnery, it was not certain that she would not hear these rumors. It did not mean that she would not know in the future. It was better to let her know as early as possible.
Yang Fan talked about his and Wan 'er's mutual love. He also talked about Princess Taiping's obstruction. He talked about his return from the Western Region, Princess Taiping's suggestion to the Emperor to arrange a marriage, and then he and Xiao Man's recognition as brother and sister. Along with his narration, A Nu's mood was sometimes happy and sometimes worried, sometimes sad and sometimes angry.
When Yang Fan finished, he looked at Tin Aino and said, "This is … everything that happened to me before and after. If you were me, what would you do?"
Tin Aino was silent.
Yang Fan gently held her hand and said, "I always felt that I already had Wan 'er in my heart. If I let you follow me, it would be wrong for you. But in the Western Region, under those circumstances, it was a matter of life and death twice in a row. What could I say? After that, I wanted to say it, but I didn't have the chance. You did everything to me, especially when you came to Luoyang. After I was imprisoned, you risked your life to save me and became a monk for me. A Nu, I am not a plant. How can I not be moved? If you don't mind that I already have Wan 'er and Xiao Man, let me be a little greedy, okay? "
"No, I don't like you anymore. I have converted to Buddhism …"
Tin Aino spoke with a straight face, but his tone had obviously softened. Girls were always a little reserved. Previously, she had sought death to become a monk. Now that he said it, she had to obediently go home with him. How embarrassing would that be? Fortunately, although Tin Aino was delicate, Yang Fan was very thick-skinned. He said shamelessly, "But I like you now!"
Tin Aino said, "You like me, so I have to go with you. Why?"
Yang Fan laughed, "Because I am thick-skinned. Think about it carefully. This is the first time I have taken the initiative to chase after a woman. Why don't you promise me?"
Tin Aino turned her head and ignored him. Yang Fan also knew that he couldn't be too hasty. He had to give her some time to recover. Otherwise, how could she leave the mountain gate shyly because she was embarrassed? Now that she was willing to act coquettishly, the matter was half done. Yang Fan pressed her soft palm and asked, "A Nu, what happened to you on Mount Hua?"
When Tin Aino heard his question, she felt wronged. Suddenly, she thought of how powerful the young master was. She had betrayed the young master because of Yang Fan. It was hard to guarantee that the young master wouldn't pay attention to Yang Fan. If she really went with Yang Fan, it would be troublesome to hide her identity. She couldn't help but feel troubled again …
…
At the Princess's Mansion, Young Master Jiang was sitting upstairs. His thoughts were like a tide.
There was no one else upstairs. Young Master Jiang was very clean, so even though he had just arrived, no one dared to disturb him.
He remembered the last time he was here, it was also an autumn day. That day, it was raining continuously.
Today, it was not raining, but it was still a pool of water with half of the autumn lotus. The only difference was that there was a young girl in green making tea and a handsome young man walking in the corridor beside the pool.
At that time, the man walked in the corridor and the young girl passed by him through the window. Now, she was finally like a swallow cutting the water, never to return.
Young Master Jiang sighed and suddenly felt like drinking tea.
He knocked three times on the barrier door and stopped. Young Master Jiang said lightly, "Come in!"
The barrier door opened and Lu Boyan walked in lightly. He stood still and said softly, "When do you plan to see him? This old servant will arrange it."
Young Master Jiang said indifferently, "Tomorrow."
Lu Boyan frowned slightly. He hesitated and reminded, "Young Master, I am afraid the imperial court will send troops soon."
Young Master Jiang didn't answer him. He just sat cross-legged, but he gave off a feeling of tall and straight bamboo.
Lu Boyan gave a slight bow and quietly retreated.
Young Master Jiang was silent for a while. He slowly raised his head and looked at the "Heaven" in the distance. The giant Buddha in Heaven was looking down at Luoyang. He had a tranquil expression, just like Young Master Jiang at this moment.
The setting sun shone on the face of the giant Buddha. The golden light shone brilliantly. But the giant Buddha bathed in the twilight gave people a feeling that he was past his prime.
Young Master Jiang smiled and said to himself, "If the general trend cannot be reversed, what is the use of pushing the boat with the current?"
