At the end of August, even Hangzhou can feel the chill of autumn.

The leaves are no longer green, the layers of emerald color are taken off, and when the wind blows, they are still dancing, still green onions, but there is more of a vicissitudes of life.

In the Zheng family, Cui Xian is peeling wontons (a kind of Huling, the tender one is Shajiao, the old one is wonton, and there is a kind of boiled bun also called wonton, which is different from the wontons in later generations) for her daughter to eat. Suddenly, the porter came in and reported: "That little lady of the Wu family is here, and she wants to see a few ladies." ”

A look of displeasure appeared on Cui Xian's beautiful face, and she hesitated for a long time before saying, "Let her in." ”

Cui Xian was very dissatisfied with this girl, because the Zheng family had not had a queen for a long time, and as a housewife, Cui Xian was also very anxious. Smart people are also more suspicious, afraid that others will say that she is a favorite. I can't tell outsiders that I didn't take over my husband, but what will outsiders think? There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! It's not your own fault, it's your own fault. So I wanted to choose one or two more virtuous and talented women for my husband, and I took a fancy to four people, Qin Fengniang, An Banniang, as well as that Yi Niang and this Wu Xiaoniang.

Qin Fengniang was impossible, because she was involved in Jiang Jun's son. But this Yi Niang and Wu Xiaoniang all made her look away. It was the husband's bright eyes that avoided a big joke.

Wu Xiaoniang walked in and knelt on the ground.

"You get up," Cui Xian said lightly. The displeasure was in his heart, the expression on his face was joyless and carefree, and his voice was calm.

Wu Xiaoniang stood up timidly.

But women, there will always be a careful surname, Cui Xian is just peeling water chestnut rice for her daughter and feeding her, just treating Wu Xiaoniang as an air, which also shows the resentment in her heart.

Wu Xiaoniang was too timid to speak.

Xing'er and Huan'er walked in from the outside, looked at the strange scene in the living room, and asked, "Little lady Wu, why are you here?" ”

"I, I ......"

"Say what you want!" Huan'er said directly.

"Huan'er, don't scare her." Jiang Xing'er is soft-hearted, but she doesn't hate Wu Xiaoniang very much, on the contrary, she thinks that Wu Xiaoniang is very pitiful. Then whispered to Cui Xian.

Cui Xian asked in surprise: "Is it true, is it fake?" ”

Jiang Xing'er nodded heavily.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I'm also afraid that I will be wrong," Jiang Xing'er said in a whisper. Some time ago, Jiang Xing'er was slightly unwell, Cui Xian was pregnant with a child, what kind of physical reaction Xing'er also saw, but I suspect that I guessed wrong, and now the whole family is worried about the descendants of the Zheng family, except for her husband who has no heart and lungs, which one is not worried? So I secretly took Huan'er out to see the doctor, and then I was sure that I was happy.

"That's great." Cui Xian said happily that it may not be a boy, and it may not be able to be born safely, but something is better than nothing.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Cui Xian's tone of voice is much softer, and she asks, "Little lady Wu, what are you doing here?" ”

"I, I, my mother asked me to come, saying that I had sworn to the prefect that I would stay and serve the prefect."

"You're here?"

"I don't dare to have this idea," Wu Xiaoniang eagerly explained, the threshold of the Zheng family is not very easy to enter, and she has no face to stay in the Zheng family anymore.

"Say to your mother, we have received her heart, go to Lingnan with peace of mind, although the weather in Lingnan is very hot, it is not a hell on earth, Kou Zhun and Ding Wei were all exiled to Lingnan when they were old, and they lived well in Lingnan, and they were not defeated by the environment of Lingnan. The official also said that there are rivers and rivers in Lingnan, and the weather is hot, which is suitable for planting, but it has not been well developed, otherwise it will be another Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You go as a family, if your father settles down this time and makes some political achievements, the court can also see it, and then he will be recalled. ”

"Wow. But I will always keep my promise," Wu Xiaoniang said, a hint of determination flashed in her beautiful big eyes.

"No one blames you, and no one asks you to keep your promises, you are young, beautiful and moving, don't delay your good years, with your appearance and talent, you can find a good husband. Besides, the punishment of the court is only derogatory, nothing else, you are still the child of the official eunuch. Cui Xian was in a good mood when she heard the good news, and she was not angry, and said calmly.

didn't take it seriously, and sent Wu Xiaoniang away.

Wu Xiaoniang is just a stone cast in the calm lake, since she entered the Zheng family with an impure mood, no matter how much Cui Xian appreciates her appearance and qualifications, she can only become a cloud of the past, and her husband doesn't want to take any more concubines.

Apricot is happy, but it makes the Zheng family full of joy.

Especially at this time.

Zheng Lang deals with some bad disciples in Buddhism, others will not think like this, Buddhism also talks about karma, and the Zheng family has no children for a long time, and people will use it to make a fuss. At this time, the Zheng family came with good news, and they would slap some people hard.

Zheng Lang was in the bamboo house, and Cui Xian ordered people to hide them strictly.

When it came to the most critical time, not only did I make some arrangements, which were to add points to victory, but in the end, I wanted my husband to understand the Buddhist scriptures.

This matter is very difficult, the Buddhist scriptures say that after reading it, there will be any good merits, and I don't know what good merits there are, but Cui Xian also read various Buddhist scriptures because of her husband. As a result, dizziness and bloating.

It's better to read it slowly, but I want to read this large number of dry Buddhist scriptures in a short time, and remember, I still have to understand it, and no one can bear it. Although her husband is well-read, she is a Confucian child. It's even harder than a scientific expedition.

At this moment, Cui Xian didn't want Zheng Lang to be distracted by anything, especially this kind of great joy or great sorrow.

Xing'er's pregnancy is a big event for the Zheng family, and it is also good news.

The next thing made Cui Xian unable to judge.

Two days later, the Zheng family had another guest, Jiang Erlang.

Cui Xian and Huan'er are not familiar with Jiang Erlang, but Jiang Xing'er and Si'er are very familiar with Jiang Erlang. ”

The apricot is the largest in the family, but Cui Xian is the wife, so the eldest lady is Cui Xian.

"Silly girl, don't be careful, I know," Cui Xian said lightly. For her husband's good brothers, she was like thunder when she was very young, and her father objected, and she didn't like it very much. Things gather like and people are grouped, why associate with these scoundrels. Later, the surnames of several people were slightly corrected, and there was no direct communication, so Cui Xian ignored the matter and did not think about it. But the husband kept in contact with them occasionally, and the tone of the letters was very gentle, and the husband's affection could be seen. This so-called friendship husband did not let go, Cui Xian still didn't like it, but she was helpless to marry a chicken.

Let Jiang Erlang in.

Cui Xian asked, "Why are you here now?" Did you ask someone to copy the two letters in Xiuzhou? ”

"Big lady."

"Second brother, the officials regard you as friends, just call you brother and daughter-in-law."

"Big ...... Brother-in-law, "Jiang Erlang was a little nervous, in the past, the eight brothers were friends, not brothers, and they were better than brothers. But things are not people, and now the status is very different, and the seven of them are no longer able to climb high.

Cui Xian saw his mood and said calmly: "You are friends with the officials, you should know the temper of the officials, don't talk about the friendship between you, without this friendship, he will not put the prefect on anyone's shelf." Have a seat. ”

"Yes," Jiang Erlang replied cautiously. is not only the prefect, this is the prefect in his twenties, and no one can predict where Zheng Lang's limit will be in the future.

Xing'er was happy and said, "Jiang Erlang, let you sit, you can sit." ”

"Oh, I've seen Mrs. Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're more beautiful now," he suddenly slapped himself and said, "Damn." ”

It's Zheng Lang's concubine, beautiful or not, you can't say it, otherwise it's frivolous.

"It's another part, the officials are just officials in the south, far away from Zhengzhou, otherwise you can meet often, sit down. Huan'er, make tea for Jiang Erlang. Cui Xian said.

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Erlang said the right thing.

As Zheng Lang expected, this matter was not done by Jiang Erlang. But Jiang Erlang has indeed been to Xiuzhou, he is getting older, and his family has some industries, not only in Zhengzhou, but also in other places. This, when he was a teenager, he was ignorant, he didn't tell Zheng Lang, and he didn't know the situation at home, and Zheng Lang wouldn't ask. Later, Zheng Lang went down to Jiangnan, and he didn't mention it in the letter.

In order to sharpen him, Jiang's father asked him to come to Yangzhou, not Xiuzhou, where the Jiang family has a shop. After Jiang Erlang came to Yangzhou, he said that the store was not only a store, but also a workshop behind the store, and he was busy with affairs, so he did not come to Hangzhou to visit Zheng Lang. There is another reason in his heart that makes him hesitate about the future, and the distance between the two makes him feel a little cowardly. After all, he has grown up and is not like when he was ignorant as a teenager. However, because of a business, I went to Xiuzhou a few months ago.

When he was in Xiuzhou, he thought of coming to Hangzhou. However, something happened in the Yangzhou store, and Jiang Erlang went back. Later, one after another things came out, checked the salt and stopped the salt, and then the sea fishing documents went down to Yangzhou. As for the reason, Jiang Erlang didn't know, or a world friend elder in Yangzhou submitted a notice to him, so he hid and was not caught. It wasn't until later, when he received a letter from Zheng Lang that was forwarded to him by his family, that Jiang Erlang quietly came to Hangzhou.

However, more than two months have passed since this delay, and the road is long.

"You can't lie to me."

"Big lady, you can't die well if you lie to you."

Cui Xian pondered for a while, afraid that Zheng Lang would be distracted, so she still didn't say anything to Zheng Lang, but sent someone to inform Fu Bi.

Fu Bi did his best to talk to Jiang Erlang, whether Jiang Erlang instructed someone to do it, one is the other party's witness, and the other is his own witness. The other party's witness is in Xiuzhou, and it is difficult to say clearly. Besides, even if someone wants to frame Jiang Erlang, they can imitate Zheng Lang's handwriting beautifully, Jiang Erlang still appeared in Xiuzhou, and many people also know about it, so the people they are looking for are about the same. People will be handed over to Xiuzhou sooner or later, but it is not very beneficial for Jiang Erlang to hand over the final case to Xiuzhou now.

asked Jiang Erlang who he got along with during that time, this is easy to find, when to go back to Yangzhou, and who to be with, this is Yangzhou, there is still a long way to go from Xiuzhou, it is impossible for someone to be in Yangzhou today, in Xiuzhou tomorrow, and then went to Yangzhou, even if he rode a horse, he was not so fast. In this way, suspicion can be cleared.

As for whether Wei Zhizhou can close the case, it has nothing to do with Fu Bi.

After the conversation, he sent someone to Yangzhou to bring the relevant witnesses.

It was only at this time that Jiang Erlang understood what had happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, during this time, the wind was tight, not only was he arrested everywhere, but even the shop in Yangzhou was temporarily sealed. When I arrived at Zheng Lang's land, I let go of my heart.

asked Cui Xian, when you come to Hangzhou, you always have to take a look at Zheng Lang.

Cui Xian didn't let him go.

Jiang Erlang was bored in Hangzhou and wandered around, but only two days later, Wei Zhizhou sent a government official to arrest people, I didn't know that he got the news so quickly from that channel. Although Fu Bi was very displeased, at least according to the rules, if you come to Hangzhou to arrest someone, you have to inform the Hangzhou government, but because of the relationship between Jiang Erlang and Zheng Lang, it is not easy to say, and I watched Jiang Erlang being brought by the officials.

Regarding the Buddhist scriptures, Fu Bi couldn't say clearly, whether to notify Zheng Lang to come forward, whether it would be true that Zheng Lang's heart would be divided, Fu Bi couldn't say clearly, so he could only send someone to inform Cui Xian.

Cui Xian was even more disgusted with her husband, a good brother.

After all, he is still under arrest, why are he wandering around? Self-inflicted suffering. Staying in the Zheng family well, even if Wei Zhizhou sent someone to arrest Jiang Erlang, there is still a buffer time, and he may not even dare to enter his house to forcibly arrest people. But this is the husband's good brother, regardless of suspicion, came to the rich family and asked Fu Bi what to do?

Fu Bi said: "It doesn't matter, I have already sent someone to bring someone to testify, there is no sufficient evidence, the matter is a big case, and Wei Zhizhou does not dare to torture to extract a confession." I have just found the Ji Transit Envoy and the Ma Transit Envoy and asked them to pay attention to this case. Do you want to notify Governor Zheng? ”

"There is no need to be notified, at this time, he came to arrest people, because he deliberately wanted to divide the hearts of officials." Cui Xian said.

Fu Bi thought about it and was silent.

Even if Jiang Erlang did the case, he couldn't do anything to Zheng Lang. Unless those two notes were really written by Zheng Lang. But it will be disgusting to Zheng Lang. For Zheng Lang's seven good brothers, Fu Bi and Cui Xian have the same opinion, and it is better to touch less. However, he also heard Zheng Lang's relationship with these seven people, and then thought about it for a while, and said, "Jiang Erlang was probably unintentionally implicated. The two prisoners who let go are the key to the place, because they were suddenly arrested, some people were helpless to save them, and when they heard that Jiang Erlang came to Xiuzhou, they found Zheng Xingzhi's handwriting rubbing, and copied two letters. Wei Zhizhou did not release people, and Shi Shoudao was careless......"

sighed, Wei Zhizhou has the duty to close this case, but the dereliction of duty is Shi Jie, with this, he finally has some of the merits accumulated by the two Zhejiang.

As for who it is, Wei Zhizhou doesn't have this ability, and it's not easy to check if he has this ability, for example, why did Zhang Daliang kill people, and when he committed suicide, he didn't know which one of the people he killed was the one who killed Zhang Daliang.

Those two people committed Zhong Quan and He Xiu, and they were also killed at about this time.

But Fu Bi didn't want to continue to investigate, there were many people involved, and it was time to end it.

After a pause, he said: "Cui Niangzi, don't worry, it won't be long before the person I mentioned will come over and let them go to Xiuzhou to testify, and Jiang Erlang will be released." ”

Cui Xian went back, but whether this incident happened by accident or a trap, Cui Xian didn't know, and she couldn't think about it, Chongyang was coming.

…… Shi Congguang said: "It's all ready over there." ”

After saying that, his eyes were a little surprised.

"Don't keep it a secret." Zheng Lang said.

"I've already commanded it."

"What's going on out there right now?" In order to read Buddhist scriptures, Zheng Lang was almost in a state of penance. You don't have to read Buddhist scriptures in the bamboo house, you can also read them in your own house. But the effect is different, no matter what, to take the lead, Buddhism has many precepts, no need to shout loudly bathing and fasting, at least you have to be a model. So during this time, the bamboo hut was closed, and even a few women in the family did not let them come. Zheng Lang didn't ask much about the outside affairs, as Cui Xian thought, he would be distracted. But Cui Xian thought seriously.

Shi Congguang hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't dare to say.

This Buddha meeting caused a sensation, and even from so far away in Taiping Prefecture, scholars rushed over. Fortunately, Zheng Lang said it a little late, otherwise more people came. Zheng Lang forced the monks of Hangzhou temples to the shelf, and he was also forced to put on the shelf, and whoever lost would be roasted by the fire. Shi Congguang hesitated and said: "There is nothing else, or there are a few small things, the court issued an order to transfer Fu Bi back to Beijing, but Xintong sentenced, at least there is at least one month, and it will not affect this Buddha identification." ”

"Let Fubi go back?"

"Yes."

Zheng Lang did not think crankily like Cui Xian, normal personnel transfers, and the system of the Song Dynasty also made personnel appointments in the officialdom like a marquee. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to implement a good governing policy. However, there are also benefits, even if there are bad officials, it is not too harmful, and frequent personnel transfers make officials unable to dictate power.

But Fu Bi's departure will make him lose an important helper. So he asked, "What is the name of the new general judgment?" ”

"It's called Li Yan."

Zheng Lang was at a loss, he had never heard the name of this official.

"It turned out to be an official of the third envoy."

Zheng Lang's forehead is still here for the sake of safe prison. War was about to go, and many in the imperial court realized that finances had become the country's top priority.

Then he asked, "What else?" ”

"That is, some Zen masters found Futong Judgment, and there were two transfer envoys, who wanted to intercede with you through them, and if the Buddha discernment meeting was not held, they would assist the prefect to move you out of the temple field, and some temples even acquiesced to the Hangzhou government to take back the fields they had encircled."

"Is it that easy?"

Zheng Lang's words may have two meanings, the first Zheng Lang is unwilling, for this Buddha meeting, Zheng Lang has suffered a lot, the temple is difficult to ride a tiger, Zheng Lang is also difficult to ride a tiger. Only in Chongyang can we distinguish the winner from the loser. In addition, even if many temples cooperate, there are still temples that do not know whether to live or die and refuse to budge. There was no time to observe and persuade them. Only Zheng Lang gave way, and he will let it go in the future.

But Shi Congguang still doesn't know Zheng Lang's true thoughts, Zheng Lang's Buddha discernment meeting can not be stopped by anyone, Hangzhou is a small matter, the whole country is a big matter, large-scale reform is impossible, some small-scale adjustments can be made to make the country healthier. Then to fight with the Tanguts, you will have more confidence.

Later, Zhao Zhen negotiated peace with Western Xia, and Zhao Zhen's idea was that in just a few decades, it seemed that Zhao Zhen was still doing very beautifully. However, in the long run, the Tangut people were very harmful to the Song Dynasty and formed a two-sided constraint with the Khitan. Don't say that the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun and the Western Xia will not be destroyed, and the Song Dynasty will not have a day of stability. At this point, he thinks the same as Han Qi, and he is a staunch main battle faction.

If he wins, others don't say it, with Han Qi's ability to grasp the opportunity, after returning to Beijing from Lizhou, he will definitely join forces with some scholars and doctors to reformulate some policies for the temple.

Shi Congguang didn't know Zheng Lang's thoughts, so he didn't dare to answer.

Zheng Lang said again: "You prepare a ship for me, and that one will also be prepared." ”

"Whoa."

Shi Congguang left, Wang Anshi was also a little excited, and asked, "Doctor, is that really successful?" ”

"Study hard, remember, this is a crooked way and cannot be learned."

"Doctor, you can't say that, the art of war is complementary, it is too rigid, it is too dangerous, it is strange, it is strange, it is the way of soldiers. Although the military family is not the mainstream, the hundred schools of thought also have many things in common. This is the art of complementing the correction with wonders. ”

"Even if you are reasonable, but righteousness is the king, and oddity can only be supplemented, not supplemented."

"Yes."

"Let's read, maybe the imperial court will have another imperial examination in the next year, you can't be distracted."

"Yes."

On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, a group of officials came to a clearing in front of the mountain road leading to Lingyin Road from Wulin Mountain.

They each held tools in their hands, some were digging in the mud to build a half-person high round platform, and two people were building a tree sign, which read, "In the autumn of the Double Ninth Festival, the moon flies to the peak, and here the Buddha is three times."

This is the place where the Buddha is discerned.

After a while, this round platform with a radius of several zhang was built, and the officials began to lay stones on it. There was no other arrangement, except that the terrain was a little treacherous, at the end of the clearing, with tall peaks on either side, and the peaks were covered with trees, and although it was daytime, it was still cloudy.

The high platform was built, and the officials left.

But this high platform attracts countless tourists to watch.

In fact, with the construction of this high platform, it also means that there is no one to stop the Dharma discernment.

But this night, after Zheng Lang retreated for many days, he quietly came out of the bamboo house, came to the Zhejiang Riverside, and quietly got on a boat, but no one else knew about it.

…… Chongyang is the time to ascend, and it is lively during the day, but this time Hangzhou's Chongyang is lively at night.

Before it got dark, many people came, and Fubi had to send soldiers to maintain order. Then go to the bamboo house.

But before that, Cui Xian and Xing'er had already passed.

Zheng Lang greeted him with a smile, and if the husband and wife wanted to whisper something to each other, the others would automatically step back. Zheng Lang took a look at several wives and concubines, and Cui Xian was wearing a vermilion dress, which was charming and extravagant. has a good background and talent, and follows Zheng Lang to render, but in terms of temperament, there are few women who can reach it.

Jiang Xing'er is wearing a goose yellow skirt, beautiful and well-behaved. Si'er is also wearing a lake-green long skirt, which looks very cute in a simple state, and Huan'er is wearing a short vest, small and exquisite. The four women looked at Zheng Lang as if they were smiling, but their eyes were full of longing.

Zheng Lang walked over, looked at them with loving eyes, and asked, "Do you miss me?" ”

Cui Xian turned her head and said, "I don't want to." ”

"Do you really don't want to, or fake don't want to," Zheng Lang grabbed Cui Xian's hand and gently scratched it in her palm with his fingertips.

"Think, are you satisfied?" After Cui Xian finished speaking, she pursed her lips and laughed, and then said angrily: "There are still people ......."

Can't make out here.

"In three days, I'll go back, and as soon as this matter is over, I can accompany you well."

"You, it's impossible to have a peaceful Chenguang." Cui Xian tapped her finger on the door of his head.

Zheng Lang came to Jiang Xing'er again and asked, "Xing'er, do you miss me?" ”

"Official, I want to," replied Xing'er and Si'er almost at the same time.

"My apricot and Si'er are the most well-behaved."

Cui Xian was rolling her eyes again. But Jiang Xing'er attached to his ear and said, "Official, the slave will give you good news when you go back." ”

"Can't say it now?"

"I can't say it now, I can't distract you, official, you must win."

If you don't know Zheng Lang's arrangement, the family is still very worried, Zheng Lang is not a real Buddhist disciple, of course, in that case, several women are hard. There are many monasteries in Hangzhou, many monks, and there are countless monks who are proficient in Buddhist scriptures, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of this Buddhist meeting.

"I'm going to win, Xing'er, you smell so good."

"Official, you are fasting, you can't, you can't make love." A red cloud flew up on Apricot's face.

But only she and Si'er took Zheng Lang's fast seriously.

Zheng Lang smiled and said again: "Let's go." ”

After walking for a short time, he saw Fu Bi with big and small officials, and stepped forward and asked, "Brother Fu, are you leaving Hangzhou?" ”

"It's coming."

"It's a pity it's early."

"It doesn't matter." Fu Bi said, but there was still some regret in his heart, although the safety prison had little to do with him, but it was he who shared a lot of state affairs for Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang concentrated on doing a lot of things. If by the end of the year, the two mines of the Japanese slave country will bring greater income, and then return to the capital, he will have greater political achievements. But he quickly recovered and asked, "Xingzhi, are you ready over there?" ”

"Well, I saw it for myself the night before yesterday."

"That's good," Fu Bi clenched his fists, having been "blackmailed" by some monks a few months ago, which still haunts him.

After a while, Wulin Mountain arrived.

There were crowds everywhere, but there were very few people who could squeeze into that field, and when they saw Zheng Lang coming, they stopped talking one by one, and then stared at Zheng Lang. Today, Zheng Lang didn't do anything deliberate, he was still wearing a white robe as before, and his round face looked calm and calm, which can also explain Zheng Lang's mentality of winning steadily.

If you win, you won't know until three days later.

But after a section of mountain road was completed, when that clearing appeared in front of Zheng Lang, the battle had begun!

The crowd fell silent, and suddenly all of them exclaimed.

Tonight's sky is beautiful, a slight northwest wind blows, the moon is half-round, and the moonlight is hazy and beautiful. Just then, a huge thing appeared on the summit of the western side.

It was a piece of cloth, a huge cloth, slowly rising from the peak. Then it automatically spreads to the sky. And while the people were amazed, countless golden things fell from this curtain and landed on that high platform.

At this time, the open space was crowded with many people, but that open space Zheng Lang deliberately let Shi Congguang build it, and it was left for him to sit cross-legged and discern the Buddha. Therefore, some officials were sent to guard it, but they did not let the people come near. These golden things fell, and the officials didn't know what they were doing, so they automatically retreated.

Golden things continued to fall, some on the ground, some on the high platform. It doesn't matter if it falls on the ground, but all these golden things that fall on the high platform are moving automatically, and finally they are disturbed together, and after a while, a huge Buddha character shining with golden light appears on the high platform.

"Oh!"

"Yikes!"

An exclamation rang out.

It's amazing, even more magical than a lotus lake.

Yihai stood in the middle of a group of great monks and couldn't help but smile bitterly, worrying about what was coming!

But there is no next scene that makes people feel magical, the curtain continues to rise, I don't know how high, anyway, it looks very huge under the peak, and finally stops, as if there is an invisible rope in the sky to straighten the curtain, and then a light lights up from the curtain!
