Chapter 161: Familiarity
Hanshan Temple is not big, all kinds of main halls and partial halls, large halls and small halls add up to only five, Hua Lianyue and Xiao Fengnan quickly finished shopping. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the Yuelao Temple, where the incense was the most vigorous, neither Hua Lianyue nor Xiao Fengnan was really interested, so the two of them quickly walked out from the back door of the temple.
Behind the temple there is a very delicate peak, although the mountain is not high, it is full of lush greenery, and a turquoise river meanders through it at the foot of the mountain.
It's late autumn, and the mountains are full of small daisies in full bloom, and the autumn wind makes a rustling sound when the leaves are blown.
The smoke and waves on the river surface are vast, and the water mist surrounds the surroundings, and people feel like they are in a fairyland, and they are like entering the landscape painting with light brushes and thick ink.
The two of them did not speak, but walked silently along the riverside, and occasionally they could hear the girl's crisp song like a lark, coming from the painting boats on the river.
Hua Lianyue was in a very happy mood, glanced at Xiao Fengnan beside her, and said with a smile: "How can there be so many painting boats here?"
Xiao Fengnan was listening to the singing, and said with a smile: "This river is also very interesting, just surrounding this mountain peak." These boats are all owned by the nearby villagers, and a penny of silver can allow you to sit on the boat and visit the mountain along the river. ”
"One penny of silver, so expensive?" Hua Lianyue joked with a smile: "I remember that when I used to do fast fishing, I only earned six dollars of silver a month." When she blurted out the past, her expression changed slightly.
Xiao Fengnan didn't seem to notice that her expression was wrong, and said to herself: "This Xunyang is many times richer than Meiling County, and the natural price is much higher. A penny of silver can buy a month's rations in Meiling County, but here you can just take a boat and cruise the river. ”
Hua Lianyue's heart moved, and she suddenly realized: "No wonder you moved Wufu Mansion here and expanded it into Wufu Villa, it turned out that the silver here is easy to earn." ”
Xiao Fengnan laughed, ignored her ridicule, and only shouted: "Boat family, we want to take a boat!"
"Hey...... It's coming!"
Soon a very crisp and bright voice agreed, and a painting boat not far away turned its bow and staggered towards them in the mist.
The mist flickered on the surface of the river, like a cloud torn from the sky, and like smoke wafting out of the incense burner.
The painting boat was closer, and Hua Lianyue saw clearly that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing on the bow of the boat leisurely rowing the oars.
The girl's fat powder was not applied, and her head was full of green silk and was only tied with a handkerchief and draped behind her. He was wearing a home-woven blue cloth printed kaftan and black trousers. Although his complexion is dark, his big eyes are round and very clever.
The girl held the oar in one hand and said in a loud voice, "Do you want to take a boat?" Her voice was crisp and sweet, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.
Xiao Fengnan nodded and said, "Not bad!"
The girl squinted, tilted her head, looked at the two of them for a while, and then said slyly: "Two coins of silver for one person, pay first and then get on the boat!"
"Two coins of silver?" Xiao Fengnan said in surprise: "Isn't it a penny of silver?"
The girl giggled and said, "I see that this young master is dignified and gorgeously dressed. The sister next to her is gentle and generous, and the two of you must not want others to disturb you when you swim in the river. I will take two pieces of silver from each of you, and I will not let anyone else come on board. We also provide our own freshly ground bean curd, freshly fried dried fish, and fruit wine made from various fresh fruits picked from the mountains, ensuring that you will not feel that these two coins have been wronged. ”
Hua Lianyue sneered and said to Xiao Fengnan: "Today, you can see someone who can do business better than you." ”
Xiao Fengnan shook his head funny, he hesitated slightly, raised his eyebrows and said to the girl: "I'll give you a tael of silver, and I don't want you to provide anything on the side, as long as you sing all the mountain songs you will sing one by one, how about it?"
"No problem, the guest officer is really looking for the right person, this river has the most mountain songs I will have. Although the girl was a little ashamed, her round eyes were crooked like a crescent moon with a smile.
The painting boat goes along the water, although the beautiful mountain peaks are separated by the misty mist, it seems hazy and hazy that people can't see it really, but from time to time you can hear the birds and apes in the mountains, accompanied by the girl's loud and melodious mountain songs, but it has a different taste.
Jiang Feng carried a mist through Hua Liyue's hair, and soon condensed thin droplets of water on her hair. She looked up at the cloudy mountain and mist-shrouded peak, and said with a smile: "At this moment, just sit like this, look at the mountains, look at the water, the fish are around, the birds are soaring in front of you, and any worries in your heart can pass away with the wind." ”
Xiao Fengnan poured a glass of fruit wine specially put out by the girl, handed her a glass, and said with a smile: "Try it! Even if you have drunk all kinds of fine wines in the world, you must not have drunk their hundred fruit wine here." ”
"Baiguo wine, I really haven't drunk it, but I want to taste it!" Hua Lianyue took the green skin bamboo tube in his hand with great interest, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to drink, this bamboo cup is elegant and interesting." ”
The girl who was rowing the oars, just after finishing the song, she looked back and smiled: "We are all rough people, where do we know what is elegant and interesting." It's just that the most indispensable thing in this mountain is bamboo, which is not afraid of breaking when used to make wine glasses, but also makes Baiguo wine more fragrant with bamboo. ”
Then she opened her voice and sang: "Plant a bamboo along the wall, don't let the cows and horses be trampled on, plant bamboo to hope that the bamboo shoots, can't sing and can't ........"
Hua Lianyue and Xiao Fengnan couldn't help but smile at each other, touched the bamboo tube in their hands slightly, and then raised their heads and drank it. As the name suggests, this 100-fruit wine is made by mixing and fermenting countless fresh fruits together. The palate is slightly sour, then sweet, and finally a hint of spiciness. Although it is not mellow, it has a unique touching taste.
Hua Lianyue smashed her mouth and said: "This wine is really fruity, I only tasted the taste of grapes, autumn pears, begonia fruits, bayberry, pomelo, and lychees." Finally, there was one thing, slightly astringent, but I couldn't taste what it was. ”
"It's so powerful, I only tasted grapes and lychees!" Xiao Fengnan smiled and put down the bamboo tube.
Hua Liyue poured another glass for herself and sipped it one by one. Her face was slightly solemn, and she had the meaning of not giving up if she didn't taste it.
The river water is turquoise, like a piece of fine jadeite. The boat glides gently across the water, leaving a trail of dovetail-shaped water lines.
Gradually, two or three boats caught up with them and rode alongside them. Hua Lianyue noticed that the painting boats were very lively, and they were all young masters and female dependents playing together. Naturally, many of them will not enjoy the scenery quietly, so they all fight for wine, sheng xiao bamboo flute, singing and dancing endlessly.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, so Hua Lianyue felt that it was really a wise move for Xiao Fengnan to spend a tael of silver to buy this painting boat.
The girl's mind was clear, she saw the displeasure on Hua Lianyue's face, and immediately pushed the penny hard, and the painting boat, which was still moving slowly, was immediately like an arrow from the string, and quickly moved away from those noisy and noisy painting boats.
After regaining her composure, the girl slowed down again.
In front of it, another painting boat is slowly moving forward in the mist, and you can vaguely see that there are guards standing at the head and tail of the painting boat, and the boat lady is rowing quietly. And in the center of the boat, sat a man and woman dressed in rich clothes.
Hua Liyue and their painting boat walked slowly behind them, but they didn't see any communication between the man and woman in front of them.
Hua Lianyue thought that the painting boat she encountered before was too noisy, and now she felt that the painting boat in front of her was too quiet and weird. So she couldn't help but take a few more looks, but unfortunately the mist gradually thickened, and Hua Lianyue felt as if a thin veil had been pulled in front of her, even if it was only a boat away, she still couldn't see their faces clearly.
Hua Lianyue was just curious for a while, and when she saw that she really couldn't see it, she gave up and began to sip the hundred fruit wine in the bamboo tube one by one.
The girl had been singing all the way, singing very happily, and seemed to be infected by the quiet atmosphere of the painting boat in front of her, and she also quieted down.
In an instant, all you could hear was the sound of the wind, the birds, and the splash of water as the tail of the fish swam as it swam!
That doesn't seem like a bad thing either!
Hua Lianyue was secretly thinking to herself, and suddenly, a woman's delicate voice came from the painting boat in front: "Lord Wang....."
The female voice had a slight trill, but it was particularly soft and delicate. It's just a simple title, but it can make people crisp from head to toe, and even the hairs on the soles of the feet are brushed up to pay tribute to her.
Hua Lianyue was also fascinated by this voice, and subconsciously listened carefully.
I heard the woman pause slightly, and continued to say shyly and timidly: "The prince specially asked me out, is there nothing to say?"
Hua Lianyue smiled secretly, it turned out that the merry prince of the unknown family was here to meet the beautiful woman.
Immediately afterwards, a deep and pleasant man's voice came: "Miss Zhang, this king took the liberty to ask you out, and he really has something to say." ”
Huo Lianjue...... No, it's Liu Hui, the merry prince of the secret meeting beauty is actually Liu Hui who should be in the capital!
Despite the passage of three years, and even though his voice was no longer clear, she recognized him in an instant.
Hua Lianyue was surprised, and her heart was blocked. She subconsciously turned her head sideways to look at Xiao Fengnan beside her, and saw that he had a solemn expression and deep eyes, obviously recognizing Liu Hui.
The two glanced at each other and kept silent with a tacit understanding.
At this moment, a gust of river wind blew, and the originally thick mist faded a lot, and Hua Lianyue was sitting just in time to see the situation on the painting boat in front of her.
I saw Liu Hui wearing an ice-blue regular dress embroidered with wavy piping, a hollow jade belt tied around his waist, and his black hair tied up with a gilt crown.
In the end, she hadn't seen her for three years, Hua Lianyue was in a trance for a while, and she always felt that the person in front of her made her feel extremely strange.
Liu Hui has a shallow smile on his handsome face, giving people a sense of elegance and affinity. With such a shallow smile, Hua Lianyue shook her head again, but it was a bit like when he kept himself in the study.
That Miss Zhang was looking up at Liu Hui for a moment, her eyes full of undisguised admiration.
Her skin was as white as fat, her eyebrows were as black as ink, her eyes were bright as spring, and her lips were as bright as cherries.
The tails of her eyes are slightly raised, and she is born with a peach blossom-like red. This natural charm was only seen in Li Ruolan back then.
However, this Miss Zhang is more confident and atmospheric than the cautious Li Ruolan. When these two diametrically opposed temperaments appear in one person at the same time, this woman can be called a peerless beauty in the city.
I heard Miss Zhang say softly: "What is the matter, the prince said that it is okay, the little woman listens to it!"
Liu Hui coughed lightly, stood up, and looked out into the distance with deep black eyes. His gaze inadvertently swept over the painting boat that followed him, froze slightly, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
The moment Hua Lianyue got up, she quickly moved her eyes away, but her heart jumped violently.
She knew she was wearing a mask and that her appearance had changed drastically. What's more, through the mist of water, he definitely won't recognize himself.
But she still feels empty, panicked, and even has the illusion that her identity will be revealed at any time.
She turned her head sideways to look at Xiao Fengnan, but saw that he had taken a hat and put it on his head at some point, which happened to cover most of his face.
He was dressed in a gorgeous costume with this shabby hat, and two broken bamboo strips dangling in front of his eyes, which looked really strange and ridiculous.
Hua Lianyue couldn't help but sneer, and the heavy depression in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot. She didn't notice it, and Liu Hui's eyes that had left immediately swept over vigilantly.
Xiao Fengnan lowered her voice and said to the girl holding the boat: "Let's dock!"
The girl turned around and said in surprise: "Guest officer, it's only been half a walk now! ”
Xiao Fengnan froze for a moment, and said with a wooden face: "No need to retreat, I'm a little seasick, it's really uncomfortable, and I want to go back to the shore to rest early." ”
"I see!" the girl nodded, and said with a sympathetic expression: "No wonder even her voice has changed, it's really pitiful." Guest, please wait, and I will send you back to shore. The girl changed direction and pushed the penny hard, and the boat immediately changed direction and went straight to the shore.
Hua Lianyue was afraid that Liu Hui would recognize her, so the moment he got up, she quickly turned her back to him. Unaware that he had been frowning, looking at himself deeply, suspiciously.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang......" Miss Zhang couldn't help but call softly when she saw Liu Hui looking at the painting boat in the distance. Liu Hui was shocked, and then came back to his senses. He didn't bother to talk to Miss Zhang, and directly ordered: "Feng Si, follow the painting boat in front of you to dock together." ”
Feng Si was about the same age as him, with a round baby face, and he looked very young. I heard him say suspiciously: "Lord, what's wrong with the painting boat in front?"
Liu Hui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't say more, just keep up." ”
"Yes!" Feng Si really didn't dare to ask any further, so he only arranged for the rest of the guards and the boat lady to quickly dock.
Miss Zhang was silent, and she didn't see Liu Hui turn back again, and she couldn't help but feel a strong disappointment in her heart. However, as a noble lady, she naturally has her reserve and pride. So she sat quietly and didn't ask any more questions.
The two painting boats docked one after the other, and Hua Lianyue and Xiao Fengnan had quickly gone ashore and left. Liu Hui left one of the guards to take care of Miss Zhang, and he took the rest of the guards to chase after her.
Miss Zhang never expected that the date she was looking forward to would end so hastily. Her charming girlish heart was greatly hit, and she stomped on the ground, complaining coquettishly: "Liu Hui, you are still a dignified prince, and you don't have any grace." If Miss Ben can really become a virtuous princess, the humiliation she has received today will definitely be returned. ”
