第1179章 六朝金粉地,金陵帝王州(3)

苏酒抱着萧渝生前留下的书信,在书房屏风后的小榻上睡了一宿。

Xiao Tingchen embraced her, allowing her head to rest on his knee, and they sat like that throughout the night.

As the dawn broke, he looked down at Su Jiu.

She curled up in her sleep, resembling her childhood self, suggesting that she must be feeling very insecure now. Translated: "

Her eyes were swollen from crying, with even tiny teardrops visible on her eyelashes.

Perhaps she had dreamt of something again, as two clear tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

She turned over and murmured unconsciously in a soft voice, "Father..."

Xiao Tingchen reached out and gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes.

His robe was dampened with large patches, all from her tears throughout the night.

The snow outside had ceased.

When the daylight shone through, the clear snow light penetrated through the high-quality paper on the window lattice, making the study room particularly bright and clean.

苏酒转醒,抬手揉了下酸胀的眼眸,仰头对上萧廷琛沉静的目光,勉强笑道:“昨夜朔雪,我本是在小榻上读信,不料竟哭睡了过去……哥哥昨夜没有休息好吧?”

“我怎么样都无妨。”萧廷琛怜惜地亲了亲她的眉心,“乖,去换身衣裳,咱们去祭拜三叔。”

家中至亲之人过世,大抵小辈都听不得“祭拜”一词。

Su Jiu's tears, which had finally stopped, welled up again.

She wiped them away with her sleeve and said, "I'll go change."

She put on a white robe dress and took off her hairpin, only fastening a pure white silk flower at the temple.

Xiao Tingchen has already prepared the items for the memorial ceremony, including joss paper, pastries, drinks, etc., which are packed in a bamboo basket and casually carried in his hand. "Let's go."

Xiao Yu's burial mound is located near the ancestral graves.

The winter mountains are desolate, covered in white snow that conceals the gravestones. On the ancient tombstone, the name and life story of Xiao Yu are engraved, everything carrying an extremely dignified atmosphere.

Su Jiu kneels in front of the grave, tears flowing uncontrollably.

When she was young, she was naive and innocent, considering her father in the Xiao family as the most formidable person in the world.

She admired him and respected him, but she could never imagine that there would be a day when her father in the Xiao family would leave her.

How can such an incredible person die?

"Is it true that even the closest people will have a day of separation?"

She choked with sobs.

Xiao Tingchen knelt beside her and calmly embraced her, "I will never leave you, for eternity, I will never leave you."

苏酒轻轻靠在他的肩头。

山风吹拂着细雪,簌簌落在两人的发梢和眼睫。

他们依偎着,过了很久很久,萧廷琛才道:“既然来了,也去看看司独数和花柔柔他们吧。”

司独数、花柔柔和洛梨裳的坟冢建在一处。

临高山而立,可以俯瞰江南风光。

一树红梅开得热烈似血,仿佛在欢迎他们的到来。

Sujiao discovered that someone had already paid their respects at the grave.

The paper money in the bronze censer was not completely burned, and there was still warmth in the alcohol set in front of the tombstone.

Just as she was surprised, a plum blossom fell from the sky and gently brushed against her cheek.

她仰起头,色若春晓的男人,坐在枝桠上,正含笑看着他们。

他的斗篷还沾着冰霜,大约是一路风尘仆仆赶来金陵的。

“谢侯爷……”

她轻声。

“叫我谢二。”谢容景翻身下树,当着萧廷琛的面,轻轻抱了抱她,“苏小酒,回了金陵,就叫我谢二吧。”

苏酒哽咽点头。

三人重新祭拜过坟冢,才准备下山。

萧廷琛立在坟前,淡淡道:“你们先回去。”

两人对视一眼,没有多言。

The cold wind was still, with fine snow falling ceaselessly.

Xiao Tingchen sat cross-legged in front of Sicong's grave, pouring two cups of wine casually.

The fine snow blurred his vision, as if the youthful achievements of the young man buried in the grave appeared before his eyes.

少年一生怯懦,却在同窗被恶霸欺凌时,死死挡住了门扉。

他说,不能跪啊,我们读书人,只跪天地君亲师啊!

文人傲骨,不过如此。

萧廷琛朝墓碑举杯,勾唇而笑:“当年曾在你坟前许下诺言,为天地立心,为生民立命,为往圣继绝学,为万世开太平……我这个人啊,坏毛病一堆,却偏偏重诺得很。这些年夙兴夜寐,常常在深夜梦见旧日你我同窗读书的光景。我,岂敢怠政?”

他顿了顿,忽然红了一双眼。

“舍长,我萧怀瑾,没有食言啊!”

“你看看这繁华盛世,你看看这锦绣江山,九州四海都是你的意志,春风化雨,梅花傲寒,你这为万世开太平的男人,死有重于泰山!!”

The plum blossoms fell on his shoulders.

Although there was no wind, it felt as if there was a gentle hand brushing away the fallen flowers from his shoulders.

Xiao Tingchen looked up, as tears streamed down his face, and drank up the strong liquor in his glass. Please only reply regarding the translated content.

他起身归去。

司独数的墓碑前赫然遗留着一枚印章。

印章底部,清晰镌刻着“大雍丞相司独数”七个篆书小字。

史载,大雍王朝第一任丞相,名为司独数。

无人知道他的生平和政绩,却知道他深受帝后敬仰,是为万世开太平的男人。

……

苏酒的马车,徐徐驶至乌衣巷口。

她和谢容景并肩,朝巷子里面走。

两人虽然同在长安多年,但也只有重大宫宴时才能见面,十年算下来不过寥寥十几面,说过的话更是屈指可说。

沉默地走到谢府门前,谢容景抬头望去。
