When autumn begins in Chang'an, the ercao office outside Yumen Pass is extremely beautiful.
Especially at sunrise.
The Tianshan Mountains and Jinshan Mountains in the sky show outlines in the dark one after another, and the silver-white mountains gradually transform into golden yellow.
The golden light was like it emanated from these two huge mountains, gradually filling the endless deserts and sea of ​​sand.
Desolation and desolation are the main theme at this time. When standing on the plank road outside the station and looking into the distance, the sky seemed to be within reach, but the huge sense of loneliness often swept over like a tide. It seemed that there was only one person left between the whole world.
However, whenever you are invaded by this feeling and cannot bear it, just take your eyes back and you can gain a moment of tranquility.
The clear stream irrigates the continuous meadows and gathers into a quiet lake.
A station composed of more than a dozen houses stands by the lake, and the crazy-growing cattails easily flood the roads outside the plank road. This kind of green grass, called egret grass by local herders, is not the same thing as the Chang'an people. It just has slender grass silk and will not bloom. But in the morning breeze, countless black hairs sway in the wind, touching the railings of the plank road, making rustling sounds, making extremely gentle.
The reeds in the lake will bloom very white flowers. The white flowers are like the tails of white foxes, reflected in the water, and easily entangled with the white clouds in the blue sky.
There are no swimming fish in the clear lake water, but there are many species of frogs. The water may be too cold or there are too many frogs. It is obviously surrounded by green cattails and reeds, but there are no mosquitoes in the genus grass.
Many white egrets appear when the silver mountains in the distance turn completely golden. They don’t like to flock like geese, and often jump and fly alone in the water, looking extremely comfortable.
They add vitality to Lucaoyi, but they are not noisy.
The house in the center of Lucaoyi is built on the water surface, and there is a house that looks like a painting boat floating on the water surface.
Xie Wan, wearing a brocade dress, sat by the window of this room.
He leaned against the window ridge, putting one hand outside the window.
His fingers were a little far from the water, but his fingers slowly slashed casually, and his fingers reflected on the water, as if his fingers had touched the depths of the lake.
Deep in the water, the soft and long water plants kept swaying, like a woman with a beautiful figure dancing to his fingers.
The desolation of the giant mountains in the distance has turned into exclusive tranquility here. This is a scene where most young talents in Chang'an have no chance to see it. If they were here, they would be ecstatic and would have to drink fine wine and write poems on the walls of the station before they could stop.
These young talents would think of what a wonderful person they were to build the station in such a beautiful place.
In the eyes of others, Xie Wan, who is famous for her, is naturally such a young talent.
However, that was only in the eyes of others.
Not only did he not do that, he also found those people ridiculous.
Just like a person standing on the top of a mountain can easily see the vastness of the grassland, and a person in his position can easily see the essence of some things.
The wonderful people who chose this place were just trying their best to please the opportunists of the Xie family.
This post station that shouldn't have appeared has long exceeded the limit of supply for the Tang Empire.
In the eyes of those young officials, it may represent the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, but perhaps by next winter, the station will disappear.
There will be no army stationed here, and there will be no large number of exiled prisoners coming to build border towns.
The greatest significance of the existence of this post station is to add a rich mark to his resume and allow him to gain a lot of military merit here.
This makes people feel that the clans like them are still the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, and they do not rely on the protection of their ancestors to enjoy wealth and glory.
After he went back, many poems that would describe the scenery of the frontier and the soldiers would spread, and his talent would gain more sincere admiration from young officials.
He always had those scholars who could write poetry, and the Xie family provided them with the cost. If these people made good poems, the cost of listening to music in the brothel would be greatly increased. Of course, the signatures of these poems would be Xie Wan.
His future wife will either come from the Liu family in Hedong or the Pei family in Hedong.
Those so-called young talents long for the things they will never get in their entire lives, just like the stars in the sky, they were born with.
The only regret is that for someone like him, life is boring most of the time.
Because the future that ordinary people have experienced and have no idea of ​​has long been destined to be in his world.
This has been the case for many years and will be the same in the future.
