Chapter 63 On the banks of the Qinhuai River

"The sunset melts gold, the twilight clouds merge, where are the people. Dye willow smoke, blow plum flute complaints, spring consciousness a little. The Lantern Festival, integrated with the weather, is there no wind and rain. Come to greet each other, fragrant cars and BMWs, and thank him for drinking and poets. On the prosperous day of Zhongzhou, the boudoir has a lot of time, remember to focus on three or five. Spread the green crown, twist the gold and snow willows, and compete for the sake of Chu. Now he is haggard, windy and frosty, and he is afraid to go out at night. It's better to go under the curtain and listen to people's laughter. ”

On the painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a woman from nowhere is singing Li Qingzhao's "Eternal Happiness, Sunset Melting Gold" in the pavilion with her crisp and melodious voice. Feng Linyuan and Yu Xuan passed by here, and just happened to hear it, he chuckled and said to Yu Xuan: "This woman has a good singing voice, and she can sing this song so tactfully and complainingly, which just sings the mood of Yi'an Jushi when he wrote." It coincides with today's Lantern Festival, and it is really rare to meet the occasion!"

Yuxuan is young, how to understand these sorrows. I saw him looking left and right, but he was all looking at the excitement, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and asked, "Who is Yi'an Jushi?" Feng Linyuan shook his head helplessly and asked, "Jiu'er, what is the purpose of Master teaching you martial arts?" Yu Xuan was puzzled, looked puzzled, and replied casually: "Master, didn't you say that we are people in the rivers and lakes, who practice literature and martial arts, need to be able to be literate and secure, and martial arts can determine the country." No matter how bad it is, you have to be able to protect the people around you!"

Feng Linyuan nodded, sighed lightly, and said to him: "Actually, it is too far for you to say that Anbang is still too far away. But all you know all day is nonsense, but that's not the solution. Can't you calm down and read some poems and songs, and realize the way of heaven?" Yu Xuan pursed his lips and said with a disdainful face: "Master, you don't know, as soon as I see those Zhihu Ze, I also feel a headache, and it is better for me to study than to practice martial arts!" Feng Linyuan knew that he was born a Mongolian nobleman, and his childhood was unbearable. Therefore, he is dedicated to advocating force, and he doesn't care about poetry and songs, and the truth of how to behave in the world, thinking of this, he can only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Yu Xuan suddenly said with a shy face: "Master, this person sings well, why don't you give some silver taels?" Feng Linyuan glanced at him up and down, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and asked strangely: "Do you really want to give a reward or go shopping?" Although Yu Xuan is young, he is a smart person, how can he not hear the teasing meaning in his words, and suddenly roared: "Master, what do you mean by this? I am only ten years old!" Feng Linyuan smiled and shook his head: "But you look fourteen or fifteen years old." Forget it, it's nothing, just come back soon. Don't be playful, we still have something to do. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it over. Hearing this, Yu Xuan nodded again and again, took the silver ticket with a smile, and ran away.

But it was said that today was the Lantern Festival, and people were coming and going on the street, and all kinds of lively and strange things came out today. Yuxuan has a young heart, always likes to see the excitement, he squeezed through the crowd, looked for a sound, looked for a long time, and finally found the painting boat that sang the song.

The painting boat is a corner pavilion, four relief railings, the pavilion pillars are carved dragons and phoenixes, extremely gorgeous. Through the lattice window, it is faintly visible that there are three women sitting in the pavilion, one woman in red is sitting in front of a piano, gently twisting slowly, but the one singing is a woman in plain clothes, she is leaning against the pillar, chanting softly, and a woman in green next to her is beating herself, and the three of them are having a lot of fun.

However, it is said that the painting boat is about one zhang from the shore, and the painting boat is connected to the shore by a long wooden plank. When Yu Xuan approached, he shouted to the painting boat, "Dare to ask which sister is singing on the boat?" When the person in the painting boat heard the question, he paused for a while, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in green came out of the curtain.

The girl's goose egg face, a pair of slender willow eyebrows, a smile between the eyebrows, a pair of big eyes are always blinking, making people feel that they are looking forward to life, the two dimples on the cheeks are particularly obvious, and the action is full of youth and liveliness. Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that the person who sang the song was so young, so he immediately bowed his hand and said, "The kid took the liberty of disturbing, dare to ask Fang Cai if the girl sings?"

The girl in green covered her mouth and chuckled: "I don't have this ability, that's my sister Zhiqing!" Look at you, you're dumbfounded, but you think the lyrics and songs are good, do you want to pursue her?" Yu Xuan heard the word Zhiqing, and was shocked, but he quickly calmed down, but when he heard her talk about pursuing others, Yu Xuan's face was slightly hot, and he quickly shook his head and said: "Sister misunderstood! I ......" His mind was racing, and he suddenly said: "My master listened to my sister's singing and moved people, saying that she sang the heart of Yi'an Jushi, so he asked to see him." ”

The girl said strangely: "Hey! I can't see that your master knows a lot! My sister Zhiqing's singing skills are second to none by the Qinhuai River." The girl couldn't help but give a thumbs up when she said what she was proud of. Suddenly, a woman in the pavilion asked, "Cui Ping, who is outside?" Cui Ping stuck out her tongue and turned around: "I don't know, I said I wanted to see Sister Zhiqing, let him in?"

The voice was slightly unhappy, and then said, "There are always so many prodigal sons who come to disturb them. Don't talk too much to him, drive him away!" Cui Ping tilted her head and said, "But he is only ten years old, like a big child!" The man heard this, and burst out laughing: "At a young age, he actually came here to look for flowers and ask willows, which is really hateful." Yu Xuan said in a loud voice: "Sister, forgive me, Master invited me to come and see, if my sister is unwilling, I will leave, why rush people!" After speaking, he stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into Cui Ping's hand, and he really turned around and left.

Cui Ping looked back and hurriedly shouted, "Don't go, your silver ticket!" Cui Ping walked quickly across the plank, and was about to catch up. Yuxuan turned around suddenly, his footwork changed, as if he had shrunk into inches, crossed the plank in one step, and stood firmly in the pavilion. This sudden change, Cui Ping didn't know martial arts, and she was caught off guard and didn't react at all.

In the painting boat, the strong wind suddenly rose, the lights flashed and brightened, and the boat was dark and bright. When the two saw him break in suddenly, they were displeased, the woman in red seemed to be more impatient, and when she saw Yu Xuan forcibly breaking in, she couldn't help but scold angrily: "Where did the stinky boy come from, he dared to trespass into other people's rooms." As soon as Yuxuan entered, he felt that the fragrance in the boat was overflowing, and it was as warm as spring. As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw incense burning in the boat, and set up a stove, the incense was a strange incense from the Western Regions, which he had seen once in Guiwang City, which was sent by Shaharu's father Khan to Feng Linyuan, and it was said that it was extremely valuable. The stove is a gilded stove, which is worth a lot of money at a glance, and it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

As soon as the woman in red spoke, she knew that she was the one who had just spoken, and her voice was like a yellow bird, which was extremely pleasant. But Yu Xuan didn't reply, nor was he surprised by the preciousness of the utensils in the house, he just glanced at it lightly, then turned his head and looked at the two of them carefully.

Just look at the red-clothed woman melon seeds with a little fat powder on her face, like moon phoenix eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water, Qiong's nose is upturned, and her appearance is extremely pretty. Xu is angry, the cheeks are slightly dizzy, revealing a little redness, the cherry lips are lightly opened and exhaled like an orchid, the skin is smooth and greasy like a blow bomb can be broken, white skin is better than snow, but the posture is delicate, just like the small jasper in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although his face is extremely beautiful, he looks light and angry, and obviously dislikes this uninvited guest.

Yu Xuan's gaze did not stop, and turned to the plain-clothed woman on the side, obviously this person was the "Zhiqing" just said. Zhiqing stood against the pillar, her figure was immediately revealed, Yu Xuan saw that she was tall, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were bent like crescent moons, and an aura seemed to overflow from her eyes, but her eyes revealed a blue. Between a smile and a smile, a noble temperament is revealed, which makes people feel elegant and beautiful.

This Zhiqing is already extremely beautiful, although Yuxuan has been with many women in Guiwang City all the year round, but when she sees her delicate face, she is still shocked. But she was not young, there were slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her face looked tired, a kind of tiredness of the reaction of men when they saw her face, as if all men in the world were here for her looks.

The boat is warm, both of them are half-untied, maybe they are a little greedy, and they are both **** and half-exposed, revealing a large area of skin like snow. Yu Xuan looked at Zhiqing's chest fixedly, stunned. Seeing him like this, the woman in red covered her mouth and snickered, and said to Zhiqing: "Look at this kid at such an age, he already knows where the heaven on earth is!"

But seeing Zhiqing looking down at her chest, she shook her head, and said softly to the woman in red: "Sister Lianyun, I'm afraid you're wrong!" Lianyun heard her say that she guessed wrong, and pouted: "If this kid didn't come for his sister, why did he keep staring at you?" Yu Xuan listened to them laughing, then came back to his senses, and pointed to Zhiqing's chest: "You...... You ......" Lianyun stammered when she heard him speak, and she didn't feel that it was right, so she followed his point. A strange emerald green jade Linglong hung on Zhiqing's snow-like neck, and Zhiqing looked down at the jade Linglong, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. She looked up and down for a long time, but still couldn't recognize the young man in front of her.

Yu Xuan took a deep breath and slowly shouted, "Zhiqing...... As soon as the words ......came out, everyone in the boat was taken aback, and the young man actually called Zhiqing an uncle. Zhiqing suddenly came to her senses, she took two steps forward, looked at Yu Xuan fixedly, and asked softly: "You, are you Aya'er's younger brother?" Yu Xuan nodded and said calmly: "Yes! I am Lao Jiu!" Zhiqing hugged him in her arms, tears fell like broken pearls, she cried in a low voice: "I never thought I would see you again, how did you recognize me? What about your sister? Where is she?"

It turned out that Zhiqing was the former concubine of Emperor Tianyuan, and this Emperor Tianyuan and Yesudier were both descendants of Genghis Khan, and the two were brothers of the same clan, so it was right for Yuxuan to call her an uncle.

"My sister is not in Nanjing, I am here with Sister Yumo. But she also has something to do, and she has already gone north. Yu Xuan patted her on the shoulder, and unconsciously shed tears, only to hear him whisper: "The jade Linglong on your neck was given by your sister, right? According to the master, this jade Linglong is a certificate handed down by his disciples when they left the school, and each person has only one." My sister mentioned it to me last time, so I guessed it!"

Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes, this jade Linglong is indeed a gift from your sister, and I inadvertently saved her life back then." Later, she gave Yu Linglong to me, saying that if there was any difficulty, she could ask her for help. He also said that if anyone could recognize Yu Linglong, it would be her relative. Yu Xuan suddenly realized and exclaimed: "I see." I was just thinking about how you got this jade exquisite!" He paused for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "How does Uncle Niang sing in this painting boat?"

"Oops!" Zhiqing came to her senses, let go of him, and introduced to Lianyun and Cuiping: "This is my nephew, these two are the two younger sisters of Lianyun and Cuiping." After introducing the three of them to each other, her face was full of loneliness after the joy, and she turned around and sighed lightly: "In the first battle of the fishing sea, His Majesty led the prince to escape, and I was caught before the concubine could escape." Emperor Zhu Ming punished all the female dependents as official prostitutes and sent them to the banks of the Qinhuai River. Fortunately, I learned poetry and songs since I was a child, and I sang elegy, so I was not bullied, and I escaped by luck......"

Yu Xuan looked at her stunned, stunned, because he knew that after the first battle of Yuerhai, it was his father who killed his uncle. The two can be regarded as having a grudge against their relatives. Yu Xuan gradually lowered his head and said softly: "Uncle, I'm sorry! If it weren't for my father Khan's ...... back then" Zhiqing shook her head, stroked his cheek, and said softly: "I don't blame you, and I don't blame your father Khan." What happened back then, it's all to blame on Lan Yu and that person, if it weren't for them, my husband wouldn't have died!"

"Auntie, who do you say, wait for me to kill them and avenge you. Yu Xuan said hatefully: "As long as they are still in the world, I can chase them to the ends of the earth." Zhiqing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "You are still young, and your aunt will handle this matter by herself, so don't worry." Yu Xuan grabbed her wrist and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Niang doesn't know, now that I have learned martial arts from my master, it is really easy for me to kill someone." Just tell me!"

Zhiqing couldn't resist him, so she could only say: "Back then, it was the Blue Jade Army that went north, but later I learned that it was someone else who secretly gave him advice in the first battle of Yuerhai. Yu Xuan's heart was anxious, and his five fingers were forced. Zhiqing suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist, frowned and said, "Lan Yu, I have a way to deal with it, but I have never been able to find someone to advise him." Seeing her frowning, Yu Xuan immediately came to her senses, hurriedly let go of her hand, and said softly: "Uncle Niang, I'm sorry, I'm excited for a while...... Who is that person you are talking about?" Zhiqing looked down and saw that Ruxue Hao's wrist had five blue and purple fingerprints. Zhiqing saw him ask again and again, so she had to say: "His surname is Feng, and his name is ......."

"Jiu'er!" Suddenly, a hoarse shout came from outside the painting boat, which just interrupted the two of them. Yu Xuan hurriedly turned his head, only to see a person standing in the center of the plank, not advancing or retreating, and his upper body just hid in the dark light. Yu Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Master, come on, this is my aunt!" Feng Linyuan stood on the wooden board and did not move slightly, but said to the three people in the boat: "The three ladies and young ladies are polite." When we met for the first time, we should have talked about it well, but we have other important matters, and it is inconvenient to stay longer today, please forgive me!" Yu Xuan said strangely: "Master, what's wrong with your voice? Wait for me a while!"

It turned out that Feng Linyuan's voice was hoarse and ugly, and it was very different from his original voice. Yu Xuan was only separated from him for a while, so he felt a little strange.

Feng Linyuan suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Come out!" This sound didn't seem to be too high for others to hear. But for Yu Xuan, it was like a sound with substance, and the sound only exploded when it reached his ears, like a dull thunder in a deep bell. Yu Xuan jumped up in shock, he had never seen Feng Linyuan get so angry, so he had to get up and go out. Yu Xuan pulled his arm, gently tugged, and said coquettishly: "Master, what are you doing! I haven't finished asking yet!" Feng Linyuan sighed softly: "What a stupid boy." He took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Yu Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Since it is your aunt, you can help her redeem herself." ”

At this time, the three of them all walked to the door, blessed Feng Linyuan, and said in a manly voice: "Mr. is Jiu'er's master and our benefactor, please come into the house for a while." The three of them stood in the door, and because of their position, they didn't know who they were looking at, so they didn't know what the people outside the door looked like. I just saw that Feng Linyuan shook his head and said, "Xiao Keshang still has something to do, so he has left!" Lian Yun laughed softly: "Mr. left in such a hurry, but are you afraid of us? Is one of the three of us having an old relationship with you?" Or do you have a crush on one of the three of us?"

"Xiao Ke and Jiu'er still have an appointment and haven't gotten there, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so please don't blame the three of you. Feng Linyuan was silent for a while, and said to a few people: "That's it, Jiu'er will stay and catch up with the three of you, and I'll go to the appointment first." Yu Xuan hurriedly said: "No, Senior Sister let me follow you!" Feng Linyuan whispered in his ear: "You stay to redeem for them, and if the silver is not enough, you will go to your Senior Sister, but never mention the names of me and your Senior Sister's family, remember!" Yu Xuan was confused when he heard this, and looked at him with a puzzled face, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still nodded in agreement.

Feng Linyuan nodded slightly to the three of them, and then turned to leave.

Lian Yun frowned and said, "Jiu'er, this master is a little weird. Yu Xuan listened to her discussion, and immediately said unhappily: "Aunt Lianyun, don't speak ill of the master." Lian Yun took two steps closer, lowered her head and tapped Yu Xuan's forehead, and agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, but what is your master's name?" Yu Xuan turned his head and pouted: "Don't tell you, you are talking bad about people behind your back!"

said that the three of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but have some questions in their hearts, but Yu Xuan didn't say it, and they didn't want to ask again and again. Yu Xuan took Zhi Qing's jade hand and asked, "Uncle, what did you say that person's name just now?" Zhi Qing's face was neither happy nor angry, calm, but her voice was full of resentment, she said word by word: "His surname is Feng, his name is ......" Yu Xuan heard her mention the surname Feng again, and suddenly remembered that his master was also surnamed Feng, and blurted out in a daze: "Feng Linyuan!" Zhiqing was surprised when she heard him say his name, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"

At this moment, Yu Xuan understood everything. He knew why Master had interrupted their conversation just now, why Master's voice had suddenly become hoarse and ugly, and why Feng Linyuan wanted to hide in the shadows, and why he didn't want to mention his name. It turned out that he had already recognized Zhiqing, but he didn't break it, but he already had insight into everything in his heart.

Yu Xuan's body trembled, and he slowly sat down against the table. He smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice, "How did he hurt his uncle?" Zhiqing said hatefully: "When he attacked His Majesty's camp back then, he was the first evil. Later, he pursued all the way, if it weren't for Mr. Ouyang taking His Majesty to a secret detour, His Majesty would have been poisoned by him on the spot. Yu Xuan looked at her eagerly and pleaded: "Uncle, I ask you for one thing, is it okay?"

Zhiqing reunited with him after a long absence, her heart was full of joy, and she suddenly nodded: "Naturally, you can say it." Yu Xuan said in a low voice, "I hope you don't go to revenge." Zhiqing exclaimed, "Why?" Yuxuan knew that if they didn't know about the relationship, they would definitely not give up. He slowly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said to the three of them: "He was outside just now!" Lianyun heard this, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly ran to the door, but where could he still find someone.

"Why didn't you say it just now?" Lian Yun asked sharply as she turned around with a resentful look on her face. Zhiqing was calmer than her, only to see that her face was cold, and asked slowly, "Did you call him Master just now?" Yu Xuan looked at her, nodded very slowly, but very seriously, and then said: "No wonder Master said that I was a stupid child, it turned out that he knew that you had a dislike for him, so he refused to meet you." ”

Cui Ping stomped her feet and complained, "Don't you want to help your own aunt?" Yu Xuan looked up at them and said slowly: "In fact, over the years, there have been many grievances and grievances that we can't figure out ourselves. Even my uncle and the prince's brother were also killed by my father Khan. Father Khan was killed by Uncle Ghost Li Chi because of the killing of too much, isn't all this karma?"

Zhiqing's face was calm, and she nodded lightly and said, "What you said, Uncle Niang also understands." But if you kill my husband and harm my people, I can't help but avenge such a great vengeance. Yu Xuan couldn't help asking: "What about the Han people who were forced to death by their uncle, and who should their families seek revenge?" This question made the three of them stunned, their families were all killed by the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so they were only bent on revenge, but they didn't think about anyone else.

"If you insist on revenge, Yu Xuan can also help you, but Master is bent on killing the common people in the world. What's more, his martial arts and wisdom are a hundred times better than mine, if he does it, we will all die and live. Yu Xuan was silent for a while before he said. Lianyun listened to the meaning of his words, and seemed reluctant to do anything, she looked at Zhiqing, and said: "Since you can't kill Feng Linyuan, let's start with Lanyu first!" Zhiqing and Cui Ping nodded secretly when they heard her say this! Yu Xuan saw that they insisted on doing so, so she could only sigh helplessly.
