Chapter 382(1/2)
The water shore of Taihu Lake.
The midsummer is about to pass, and after the new rain, the air is extremely fresh. In addition, it is the annual Qichao Festival. At night, many young people will come here to enjoy the moon, or lay down lotus flowers on the shore of Taihu Lake and make a vow.
Li Jinghong walked in the crowd. She was wearing a cotton white dress, looking very simple, but she still couldn't hide her extraordinary appearance. She was like a banished immortal in the sky. Every time she went, she attracted everyone's attention.
There are really women like fairies in the world!
There are good people who whistle and show a malicious smile when they pass by. Li Jinghong doesn't care. No matter who it is, they smile.
This gave some courage to be brave. A young man in a Confucian shirt couldn't help but come forward to chat with him, "Girl, alone?"
Li Jinghong shook his head, "I'm waiting for someone."
The young master tilted the folding fan and said with a smile, "I see that the girl is alone, not like a beauty having an appointment. There is a clothing store not far from the lake. Why not give the girl a few pieces of clothes and help her pick up some pairs of shoes that fit her feet?"
"Thank you, no need."
The young master said again, "As the subordinates call him the passionate swordsman Bai Yu, he is as famous as the romantic swordsman Qin Lou. If a girl is a man in the world, she should have heard of the title of the subordinates."
Li Jinghong felt that this person was too abrupt, but he still maintained an excellent demeanor. He smiled and shook his head, "I am not a man in the world, nor have I heard of the name of a young master."
Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this and smiled, "That's okay. Meeting is fate. Before the future of the girl's favorite person, it's better for me to be a flower protector, so as to avoid harassment from those who are ill-behaved."
Li Jinghong asked directly, "Didn't Mr. Bai have ill-behaved?"
Bai Yu smiled awkwardly, "Although I am a passionate swordsman, I have always been known for being dedicated and considering myself to be romantic but not vulgar. How can I compare with those ordinary people?"
Li Jinghong said oh, and said, "In my eyes, the young master is no different from those ordinary people."
This sentence almost caused Bai Yu to get internal injuries.
Bai Yu, whose name is Yunfei, is 26 years old this year, has been famous for a long time. He was once named one of the four great princes by Xiaosheng Jianghu, and was also named the top four heroes by Gossip Weekly. Although he was not as good as Li Qingcheng, he was also a handsome and handsome man. He has been in the world for many years. Women in the world are attracted to him. Now Japan has come to make an appointment with the daughter of the prefect of Huzhou to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day together. Unexpectedly, when the woman sneaked out, she was caught by her father and the beauty broke the appointment.
I was bored and came to visit Taihu Lake, but when I saw Li Jinghong, I was shocked and threw the daughter of the prefect and couldn't help but come forward to chat with her. Unexpectedly, Li Jinghong seemed peaceful, but always gave people a look of rejecting thousands of miles, which made this passionate swordsman unaware of it. He could not use any tricks to deal with women on weekdays, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged, but he was very determined to win and lose. The more he was frustrated, the more interested he became.
"If someone else said this, I might be angry, but from the girl's mouth, I feel honored."
Li Jinghong felt bored, turned his back and looked at the water surface of Taihu Lake.
Bai Yu came to the lakeside, beat his sword with his fingers, and recited, "The delicate clouds make a trick, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away from each other. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than it, and there are countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, good time is like a dream, and I will be able to look at the road back to the magpie bridge. If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be there, day and night."
On the Chinese Valentine's Day today, this song "The Fairy of Magpie Bridge" is about the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which is quite suitable for the situation. Bai Yu, based on the principle of "knowledge is power, and talent wins the heart", was originally prepared for the prefect, but used it here. Seeing Li Jinghong unmoved, he said: "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than that, and countless people are on earth. If it weren't for seeing the girl here, Bai really thought that the Weaver Girl from Heaven had descended to earth."
Li Jinghong said, "Although the Weaver Girl is an immortal, she has an ordinary heart and is unbearable. I don't like it."
"Which fairy does that girl respect?"
"Chang'e."
Bai Yu said again, "The mica screen is deep, and the long river is gradually falling and the morning star is sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart is always in the blue sea and the sky. If Fairy Chang'e is in Guanghan Palace at this moment, she will also envy the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
Li Jinghong said, "Young Master is not Chang'e, how could you know Chang'e envy?"
"Borrow it!" Xiao Jinyan walked from the side, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, and came to Li Jinghong, "I remember you liked it before, so I specially bought it for you."
Li Jinghong took it and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten for a long time, but for Brother Xiao, I can make an exception."
Bai Yu saw Cheng Yaojin who had come out from somewhere and said unhappy, "Brother, come first and then come in everything. Didn't you see that I'm talking to this girl?"
Xiao Jinyan was stunned and looked at Li Jinghong, "Your friend?"
"I don't know!"
Xiao Jinyan let out a oh, and put his foot on Bai Yu's butt. Bai Yu was caught off guard and fell into the river with a thud.
The noise was too loud, and the audience laughed loudly when they saw this.
The four great young men were kicked into the river without any defense. What a shame. He used his light skills, jumped up and came to Xiao Jinyan.
"Is it your black feet just now?"
Xiao Jinyan touched his head, "It seems to be."
Bai Yu is also a famous swordsman in the world. His martial arts have already entered the realm of Zhixuan. He has both true energy to protect his body when he gets up, sits and lies. If he were normal, he might have thought that he could kick him into the river without making a sound, so his martial arts are naturally not weak. But at this moment, there is a beauty on his side and making a fool of himself in public. He was already dazzled by anger and said angrily, "Do you know who this young master is?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head.
Li Jinghong said, "When he introduced it just now, he seemed to be the passionate swordsman Bai Yu. Brother Xiao, you may be in trouble if you get into such a powerful opponent." After that, he also made a naughty look, looking like a little girl. Not to mention Xiao Jinyan, even everyone around him was moved.
Xiao Jinyan said to himself, "The passionate swordsman, Bai Yu? This man seems to be a little familiar."
In Yangzhou that day, Xiao Jinyan heard Yu Wenshuang mention this name, but did not give any good comments, so he did not remember it in his heart.
"The passionate swordsman Bai Yu, the romantic swordsman Qin Lou, the rich young man Li Qingcheng of Jinling, the Feng Chu Cui Feng of Longzhong, and is also known as the four great princes. You have never heard of it, so it's not your fault."
"Bao Young Master Jinling?" Xiao Jinyan laughed, "If Li Qingcheng knew that he had this nickname, he would probably find a tofu to kill him."
"Do you know Li Qingcheng?"
Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I'm not very familiar either."
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't know you either. Boy, if you are tactful, kneel down and kowtow to apologize. Maybe I won't bother with you because you are a beautiful friend. Otherwise... Humph."
Xiao Jinyan asked deliberately, "Hmph, what does it mean?"
Bai Yu was stunned, "I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, it's not a good thing for you."
Xiao Jinyan said, "Oh, please deal with the hum above your head before humming. It's a bit bad humming above your head."
Bai Yu wiped his head and felt sticky. When he took it down, he found that it was green and oily algae, which was just the one that was touching the water just now.
Everyone around laughed.
Bai Yu was angry and embarrassed, "Boy, you are looking for death."
With a clang, the sword was unsheathed, and the dragon roared, and was about to stab Xiao Jinyan, but he felt a flash of figure in front of him, and his butt hurt, and his whole body fell into the water again.
Before Bai Yu came up, Xiao Jinyan grabbed Li Jinghong's hand, pulled her to a sampan, and said to the boatman, "Drive the boat quickly."
The boatman heard a sound, rowed his oar, and swam towards Taihu Lake.
Bai Yu climbed ashore, feeling embarrassed. He looked at the two of them walking on the boat, and his eyes showed a sinister look, "This kind of revenge is not a gentleman. If I don't kill you, I will not be named Bai. Hey, where is my sword?"
"Brother Bai?"
In the crowd, a pretty girl came over.
Bai Yu saw the other party, "Why are you here?"
"I secretly climbed out of the grape trellis with my father on my back, but you..." The girl heard what Bai Yu and Li Jinghong said before, and showed a look of dissatisfaction.
"Oh." Bai Yu raised his voice, "It's just a former friend. I have to pester me. I have no choice but to jump into the river to escape. Lan Mei, I have the only one in my heart. This love is stronger than Jin. You know me."
A man's mouth is a lie.
Although the woman knew that he was telling a lie, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red. Bai Yu struck while the iron was hot and said, "There are tricks on the silk clouds, and the flying star conveys hatred..."
The girl said, "The Yin Han crossed the distance... Brother Bai, I have heard it once."
"She is her and you, you are you. The one just now is considered a preview. Actually, I prepared it for you." Bai Yu's words instantly warmed the girl's heart, "You are the little fairy in my heart. I am waiting for you here today, just to express my feelings to you by borrowing the day when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet! The boat is coming!"
A boat docked, Bai Yu pulled the girl to the boat, and secretly told the boatman when the girl was unprepared, "Come on that boat!"
...
The boat gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle.
In Taihu Lake, boats of all sizes are cruising on the lake. There are whispers or whispers on the boat.
The waves of ripples make the night more comfortable.
The moonlight fell on Li Jinghong's face, making her look more and more refined. She stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the crowd with lights by the river, and said calmly, "What is immortality? What is the great way?"
Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Jinghong, but his thoughts drifted to the distance. On the Chinese Valentine's Day, is she missing herself thousands of miles away?
Hearing Li Jinghong's words, Xiao Jinyan said, "I don't understand what immortality is, nor do I understand what the great way is. I just think that if a person lives for a lifetime, a person who loves, a wine he likes, and a brother who likes his interests, that is the most beautiful thing. As for immortality or a great way, I have never thought about it, let alone pursue it."
Li Jinghong said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid of death, but if I have boring practice and immortality, I would rather choose to grow old, die, and live colorfully like a mortal, wouldn't it be better?"
Li Jinghong sighed, "But you are not a mortal."
"I'm not a mortal, I'm just a mortal."
"Where are the people and the righteous ways in the world?"
Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I have lived for more than 20 years, but I haven't even understood myself. I live clearly. Where can I think about the world and the people?"
Li Jinghong said, "If I hadn't known Brother Xiao for a long time, what you said would make me look down on you a little." After that, she smiled slightly.
A smile makes you look very charming.
Even the young boatman at the stern of the boat was shocked in his eyes. He couldn't help but stop the oars in his hand, and the boat was spinning in the lake. However, the older boatman said, "What do you think? Do the work in your hand well, even if you see it, you can't solve the next meal!"
Li Jinghong heard it and said, "Is this so frivolous and slutty?"
Xiao Jinyan disagreed and retorted, "This is the joy of life. Some people are born rich and noble, while others are born poor and humble, but in this vast world, they are born old, sick and die. This is the law of nature. Perhaps, this is the great way in my heart."
This world is very beautiful.
Worth cherishing.
Xiao Jinyan said again, "Over the years, I have traveled around the world, met many people, and came into contact with many interesting things."
