The first time, a dream of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, seems to be true, like illusion, like a wish

Next Chapter

Xuanhe enshrined Wang Ximeng, and the Son of Heaven personally passed on the essence of penmanship.

If you get into the picture, you will die, and the empty sect will cut off the Taishi Jing.

This is a passage from Song Muzhong's "On Painting Poetry", through these two poems, you can get a glimpse of this genius boy through the ages. Wang Ximeng's life for more than 20 years, only a stunning piece, in a teenager, 18 years old when the most high-spirited period, splashing ink, like nature, the achievement of a teenager's heart, with such a majestic momentum of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. It is a pity that not a few years after Wang Ximeng completed this work, it was rumored that he died early in the palace and has not been heard from since.

Li Yue majored in Chinese landscape painting when he was in college. In the class, I listened to the professor introduce China's top ten famous paintings, although "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" ranked last, but his creator is also unique in history, Yinghua's early death regret, as well as the magnificent calligraphy and painting scroll, so that Li Yue, who is also at the same age, is also full of hope.

Li Yue's father was the president of the local calligraphy association, and he took him to write calligraphy and paint Chinese paintings since he was a child. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, electronic painting is becoming more and more common, and Chinese painting is becoming more and more rare.

Therefore, when watching the show, as an obsessive of ancient Moqing, Li Yue heard that Director Shan of the Palace Museum revealed in a lecture entitled "Guarding the Next 600 Years of the Forbidden City with 'New'" that "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" will be unveiled in a large exhibition in Wumen Yanyin Tower in September this year. It's been four years since the last exhibition.

This year is a senior year, and Li Yue, who is still ignorant of the future, although there are too many things to be busy in the graduation season, and there is still to look for a job. But this is a very rare opportunity.

"Throw in your resume first, wait until September to go to Beijing to see the exhibition, and then it's not too late to come back!" He has been thinking about whether to stay here and work after graduating from college or go home to work, and his girlfriend has not yet decided the direction after graduation.

Encountering this exhibition, Li Yue thought to himself that he would first work in Tianjin for a while, which happened to be close to Beijing. With this decision in mind, he discussed it with his girlfriend. If they go home separately after graduation, Li Yue and his girlfriend are separated, it is better to stay in Tianjin after graduation, maybe they will have a successful career in the future, and they will settle in Tianjin.

Time flies, and after the graduation thesis is checked, it is about to be defended. After the defense, it was time to prepare to go out and rent a house, and tidy up the things in the dormitory and move out.

Most of the good brothers in the dormitory chose to go home. Before leaving, a group of brothers had a good meal, "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and I don't know when we will be able to meet each other." Brother Bo, the eldest brother in the dormitory, drank wine and put his arm around his brother's shoulder, and several other brothers in the dormitory next to him raised their glasses and said, Li Yue did not speak, just sat quietly, time is so fast, yesterday seems to be the day of just entering school, everyone knows each other, goes to class together, plays games together, and now they are on different sides. Li Yue couldn't help but feel a little sad:

In those years, they came from all over the world to share the rain and disaster with their dwellings.

Now they are returning from all over the world, and the friendship between classmates is really there.

The world is bustling, time flies, and it will soon be September. The heavy work seems to make Li Yue lose track of time. If it weren't for the reminder in the memo, he almost forgot to go to Beijing to see the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. During this time, the company has also been working overtime. Li Yue calculated the time, and the first exhibition would definitely not be able to catch up, but the 16th was Saturday and Sunday, and it was satisfying to see it the next day. He asked for leave from the company in advance and discussed with his girlfriend to get ready.

In the early morning of the 16th, the two of them got up, and his girlfriend Ling Lin was still a little unhappy because she was woken up, Li Yue hurriedly coaxed his girlfriend, and the two traveled lightly. Rushed to Tianjin Railway Station to take the intercity train to Beijing, and waited until the subway to rush to the Forbidden City, just seven o'clock, passed the security check of Tian'an Gate, to the noon gate, the Forbidden City was already full of tourists, it seems that there are a lot of tourists who come here.

"Arlene, are you hungry? I'm going to buy breakfast, you wait here and don't run around." Ling Lin nodded, sat down on the stone pillar next to her, and played with her mobile phone. Although it was the middle of September, the weather had begun to cool slightly, Li Yue took off his thin coat and put it on his girlfriend, and hereby told her to stay still and go to the stall next to her to buy breakfast.

Stalls are not allowed next to the gate of the Forbidden City. Li Yue took out his mobile phone, opened the location, the map will not show the location of the stall, you can only look at the nearest street, anyway, it's still early to leave the museum, and you can't let your girlfriend go hungry, Li Yue sent a WeChat message to Ling Lin, and then paced along the road, walked not far away, and really saw a breakfast stall, it seems that this one store is making breakfast nearby, there are already a lot of people standing around, Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward to line up, and finally after a while, Li Yue arrived.

At this time, a voice came from behind him, "This young man?" A person patted Li Yue's shoulder, Li Yue hurriedly turned around, and saw an old man in white, sweating with short hair mixed with white silk, panting slightly, "Young man, I went out early, it's been a long time since I came over, and my blood sugar is a little low, can you trouble the young man to give me this early?" The old man spoke a little intermittently, and there was sweat on his head and body, so he was really unwell.

The boss put the freshly made breakfast in Li Yue's hands. Li Yue hurriedly handed it to the old man, and asked the boss to make another breakfast. Li Yue helped the old man to the steps next to him. The old man took a few bites and rested. Seeing the sweat on the old man's body, he must have been a little thirsty.

Li Yue took out the mineral water he brought and handed it to the old man. "Ouch, little brother, don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, my old man is useless, I have low blood sugar and dizziness if I don't eat, and now I rob you of breakfast and drink your water. The old man excused himself.

Li Yue unscrewed the cap of the bottle and said, "It's okay, uncle, I still have it here, you can drink it." As he spoke, he handed the water to the old man. "By the way, uncle, are you also here to play in the Forbidden City?"

The old man didn't excuse himself, took the water, and took a sip, "Yes, I heard that this picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is rare to see in a few years, and it will be displayed in the museum in the past few days, and I specially came to see it." Hearing the old man say this, Li Yue was a little surprised in his heart, "This is really a coincidence, I also came to see the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." ”

The boss handed Li Yue another breakfast he had made, "WeChat transfer money to you, is it okay?" Li Yue asked, and scanned the code to pay the boss. As soon as he unlocked his phone, a few messages popped up in WeChat, but Li Yue didn't care. "Young man, I don't have any change here, I'll use this WeChat transfer for you too." ”

The old man took out his mobile phone, which was the kind of feature phone used by the elderly. The old man turned on his phone and tinkered. "Oh, uncle, no need, it's just an early meal. I'll treat you to food!" Li Yue hurriedly excused himself from the old man. The old man was about to say something, but the mobile phone suddenly rang, and the ringtone seemed to be a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the sharp suona sound startled Li Yue.

The old man answered the phone and said a few times, "Hey, okay, I'm here, next to the Forbidden City, hey, okay, you wait there, I'll come right away." The old man hung up the phone and said to Li Yue, "Oh, thank you really today, young man!", the old man held Li Yue's hand and expressed his gratitude to him, and Li Yue hurriedly helped the old man up.

"I've made an appointment to meet over there, or I'll have to talk to you, young man. The old man smiled and said to Li Yue, "Uncle, it's okay, you can walk slowly." Li Yue watched the old man leave, only to pat his head, to buy something to go back to his girlfriend to eat early, after waiting in line for so long, plus the old man for a while, I am afraid that she will blame herself again, Li Yue turned around and was about to leave.

"Young man, your things have fallen!" As soon as he took two steps out, Li Yue was stopped by the boss who sold breakfast, he turned around, and followed the direction pointed by the boss, a piece of jade pendant was shining on the ground. And that was where the old man had just sit.

"Hey, uncle!" Li Yue picked up the jade pendant and turned around and rushed in the direction where the old man left, but the old man was no longer in the sea of people.

"Thank you, shop!" Li Yue thanked the shopkeeper. Just now, the old man talked to him about going to see a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. You might meet him there, and you can leave it to him. Thinking of this, Li Yue hurriedly rushed back to the noon gate early.

"Li Yue, why have you been there for so long?" My girlfriend waited for a long time, and at this time, she must have been a little impatient, "I sent you several messages, and you didn't reply to me." "I must have just chatted with the old man, so I didn't pay attention to the mobile phone message, Li Yue thought.

"Hurry up and have breakfast. Li Yue told Ling Lin what had just happened by the way. "Wow, this jade pendant looks so exquisite. Ling Lin ate breakfast and looked at the jade pendant, "There seems to be a word on it." Ling Lin poked Li Yue, "What kind of word is this?" Ling Lin asked, Li Yue took it in his hand, looked at the sun, and carefully distinguished, "This is the traditional Chinese word for music, happy music." Li Yue replied. "By the way, I just heard that the Forbidden City also held an event that allows you to experience what it's like to be an emperor!" Ling Lin held up a leaflet with a dragon chair and an emperor painted on it, as well as a camera, and wrote next to it: The Forbidden City's exclusive experience, the emperor on the dragon chair, is only for today.

"Leave this alone, it's not too early. After speaking, he glanced at his mobile phone, it was past eight o'clock, and the Forbidden City was about to open in a while. "Arlene, hurry up and eat, the museum will open in a while. Let's hurry over, or we will queue up, and I don't know how long it will be. Li Yue threw the leftover bag into the trash can and put the jade pendant in his pocket, he was anxious now that he was afraid that if he went to the Qianli Jiangshan Tu too late, the old man would already leave.

This jade pendant looks very quaint, it must be very valuable, and it is also very important to the old man.

As a work that is exhibited from time to time, the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains has really attracted the attention of most people who come today. Because the Forbidden City has a strict quota for visitors. Li Yue and Ling Lin could only stand quietly in the crowd, waiting for batch after batch of people to enter. As soon as he entered, the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the display case suddenly attracted Li Yue's attention, Li Yue tightened his girlfriend's hand, he looked around first, and did not find the old man, so he hurriedly walked to the front of the display case, which is one of the few full-frame exhibitions.

The Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is 1191.5 centimeters long and 51.5 centimeters wide, and there are three exhibitions in history. The whole painting is based on a whole piece of silk cloth. The color and brushwork are inherited from the "green landscape" painting method since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and are mainly composed of mineral pigments such as stone blue and stone green. The painting is vast, the rivers and mountains constitute a beautiful landscape map of the south of the Yangtze River, the fishing village and the wild market, the water pavilion platform, the thatched hermitage thatched house, the water mill long bridge and so on are interspersed in it, as well as tourists, pedestrians, fishing, playing, catching the market, the stage and other life situations are reflected one by one, very exquisite.

Li Yue pulled Ling Lin and walked forward with the scroll, the figures in the painting seemed to be moving again, the clouds and mist were shrouded, the market was bustling, and the crowd was crowded. As the picture stretches forward, a place of mountains and mountains arouses his interest. On the edge of a river, under the dense forest, a quiet village, said to be a village, but not so mediocre and simple, as if with a tengyun fairy spirit. There are people interspersed with it, looming, not knowing men and women.

One of them appeared to be a young girl, leaning on the edge of the pavilion, holding a Luo fan. Li Yue had to stick his head under the glass booth. The girl seemed to be staring at herself.

At this time, Li Yue suddenly felt a burst of heat in his pocket, and he quickly put his hand into his pocket, which was the jade pendant dropped by the old man. Suddenly it became dark. "There's a power outage!" someone shouted, how could it be, there would be a power outage, isn't this the Forbidden City?

Li Yue took out the jade pendant, but found that the jade pendant was glowing, it was very warm in his hand, not as hot as just now, he slowly stretched out his fingers, and the light of the jade emanated. "Li Yue. The girlfriend called softly. In the light of the jade, only the faces of Li Yue and Ling Lin were reflected, and the two of them stared at the jade, suddenly, the light of the jade increased greatly, and the temperature also rose rapidly, as if a burning red charcoal nest in their hands.

Li Yue wanted to shake off the jade, but the jade was stuck to his hand, he shouted, playing with his hands. Sharp pain came from the palm of his hand and hit his brain.

"Li Yue, Li Yue, hurry, anyone, help my boyfriend!" The voice of his girlfriend calling anxiously in his ears became farther and farther away, and the pain in his hands became lighter and lighter, until everything was calm again, and he couldn't hear or see anything.

I don't know how long it took.

"Little fun, little fun!" Who is shaking themselves? Li Yue shook his head, trying to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were unusually heavy. "Etsuko-chan, Etsuko-chan. The man refused to give up. Shaking and shaking Li Yue was a little annoyed, and finally, a light emerged from the slit in his eyes, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Ouch, are you finally awake?" This girly voice, what is the situation, Li Yue opened his eyes in fright.

Above is a curtain made of rich satin. The fluffy quilt covers itself tightly. Standing next to it was ...... A eunuch dress, with fine skin and tender flesh, mixed with a trace of disdain.

"Don't get up yet!" cocked the orchid finger and pinched the swishing sound. Isn't this the legendary eunuch?

Li Yue quickly lifted the quilt and sat up. Looking blankly at the Quartet, this place looks the same as the Forbidden City, but it is not as solemn and solemn as the Forbidden City, luxurious and luxurious, but it looks very simple and low-key.

"Could this be the new activity in the Forbidden City?" Li Yue was a little excited. Could it be the emperor's one-day experience? Wouldn't it be a surprise from his girlfriend?

He quickly got out of bed and looked around, his interest was already attracted by the decoration of the surrounding palaces.

"Xiao Yuezi, as soon as you entered the palace, you ran around, and now that you have woken up, are you still acting so recklessly?!" the father-in-law's tone seemed to be displeased. Li Yue hurriedly turned around.

"May I ask who you are?" As soon as the voice came out of his mouth, Li Yue felt that something was wrong. How did your voice change?

"I am the father-in-law in charge of the East Palace, you just came yesterday and caused a big disaster, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved you and accepted you as his personal eunuch, otherwise, I look at your life, a few are not enough......" The father-in-law spoke in a strange manner, with mockery and disdain in his tone, and a trace of envy?

Isn't it an experience of the emperor? Li Yue was so frightened that he touched his hand with it. "You're already in the palace!" said the father-in-law's tone, with a hint of schadenfreude. "When you get to the palace, you have to abide by the rules of the palace. If you do evil again, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protect you every day?" said the father-in-law jokingly.

But at this time, Li Yue's mind was already blank. It's gone! It's really gone!"Don't talk yet!" Li Yue was in a slightly irritable mood.

His own voice also changed. What kind of bullshit is this? I was obviously looking at the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I saw that there seemed to be a moving girl in the painting, and then the jade pendant was hot, and then I fainted. When you wake up, you become like this, you become a eunuch??

"You dog, how dare you talk to me like this!" When the father-in-law heard that this little eunuch dared to be so rude, he immediately became angry, and rushed up to hit him, Li Yue wanted to fight back, but found that his body had become much weaker.

"Father-in-law Li, that's enough!" Suddenly, a slightly magnetic and majestic voice came from the woman. The two men stopped. Li Yue looked over, a tall boy, his face seemed to be childish, but his eyes were so mature, with elegance, long hair combed, and high headbands. He was followed by a stern-looking guard.

His eyes lit up, and he stared at him tightly. "His Royal Highness the Prince!" Gonggong Li was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, while Li Yue froze, "Hurry up and kneel!"

Although the two people in front of him were still arguing, at this moment Li Gonggong hurriedly pulled Li Yue to kneel, although Li Yue still didn't understand what was going on now, but combined with the TV series he had watched before, it was wisest to quickly kneel down and obey the softness at this moment, and he didn't care much, so he knelt down.

"Alright, get up. The man's tone seemed to soften slightly. "Please forgive Your Highness, this kid is so unruly in the palace, I just want to warn him. Father-in-law Li said incoherently, "I didn't expect to lose my proportion!"

"Forget it, Gonggong Li, Xiao Lezi has just come to the palace, and there are still many rules that he doesn't understand, since the palace has accepted him as a personal eunuch, he will teach him well in the future. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his sleeves. "You stand down first!"

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, Gonggong Li didn't need to say much, "That slave, retire." After saluting, Gonggong Li withdrew.

"Ji Shang, you should also step down first. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to the guards next to him, "The minister will retire first." There was a sound of the door closing, and the guards who called Sho Shang left. After a long time, Li Yue didn't dare to raise his head, so he knelt and lay there.

What is the situation? Li Yue felt that his feet were a little numb, but he didn't dare to move, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave? Why didn't there move at all. He stealthily raised his head, and looked around with the rest of his eyes to see a shadow in front of him.

was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, Mom, the emperor's dream was not realized, and now he has become a eunuch, which makes him face Ling Lin in the future. The most important thing is that it is still in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is questionable whether he can survive or not.

"Stop kneeling, get up. "It feels like a long century has passed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no feelings, and his indifferent voice finally sounded. "The slave doesn't dare, he just had a big fight with the father-in-law in charge, please forgive your highness!"

Li Yue, Li Yue, you are really cowardly. I was still thinking about what to do just now, but now I immediately admit that I am a eunuch.

"Get up. A pair of powerful hands pulled Li Yue up. He raised his head, a pair of bright and vivid eyes stared at him, and his handsome face was full of heroism. Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so tall? Li Yue is also one meter seven or eight tall, but at this moment, he raised his head and looked at His Highness. Both pairs of eyes were staring straight at each other. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shy at first, and his face was flushed. He is a eunuch, what is he shy?

"Ahem. The prince coughed. Li Yue hurriedly took a step back and lowered his head.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave just came to the palace and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so he collided with you and Gonggong Li, begging His Royal Highness to punish him!" I heard Gonggong Li just say that he had just entered the palace not long ago, and he was still climbing over the wall in the palace yesterday, so I was afraid that I didn't want to escape, so hurry up and give myself a step down now.

"Never thought that if you fall, your temperament will also change?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince muttered to himself. "Your Highness, what did you say?" Li Yue hurriedly asked. I'm afraid I'm missing something. Don't drag yourself out and kill yourself.

"It's okay, I've already told Gonggong Li, from now on, you will be my personal eunuch, and you will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, he said no more and walked to the dressing room.

I'll go, what kind of unfolding is this? Could it be that he really crossed over because of the woman in the painting? Li Yue still remembers that when he saw the strange woman in the painting, she seemed to smile at herself.

Then, the jade, the jade in his hand, suddenly became hot, and he couldn't shake it off, so he lost consciousness in pain, and then came here. If it is really because of the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, then is it the Northern Song Dynasty that I came?

"Little fun, little fun!" suddenly came the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and this tone was already mixed with dissatisfaction. "Your Highness!" Li Yue hurriedly responded, looked at the prince's side, and saw that His Royal Highness the prince had his back to him and spread his arms.

"Why don't you come to serve the palace to change clothes?" the prince looked back at Li Yue and said expressionlessly.

How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not listen to his words? Li Yue hurriedly trotted over and stood behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Look at His Highness's face, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old. This figure is indeed a bit tall.

The point is that Li Yue feels as if his figure has shrunk. Could it be that this is a side effect of being a eunuch? Li Yue quickly shook his head.

"Ahem!" the prince coughed lightly. Li Yue came back to his senses and hurriedly untied his clothes and put them on the hanger on the side. I took off my voluminous coat and folded it next to the hanger, and then I put it next to the hanger.

"Your Highness, which clothes do you want to change?" Li Yue asked cautiously, this was the first time he had served others. And now I don't know what year or generation I am in, and who is serving at this time? Li Yue has seen history, and those eunuchs and palace maids who did not serve well have ended up miserably.

"Just wear this one. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to be displeased, but turned around and pointed, "Just take the clothes that are stacked in the closet." Li Yue hurriedly rushed over, opened it, and was dumbfounded, there were a pile of clothes densely stacked inside. He quickly looked back at the prince and smiled bitterly.

"That's it, just take it. Li Yue came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his clothes in his hands, "I'll wear it myself." Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't wait for this. After handing the clothes to the prince, he stepped aside and stood with his hands bowed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look bad. Listening to what Gonggong Li said just now, it seems that he saved himself yesterday. However, before he woke up, he was obviously in the Forbidden City looking at a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? What about yesterday when he was still in Tianjin? How could he be in the palace and be saved by His Royal Highness the Prince?

"It seems that you have been wronged by letting you serve me. Caught off guard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spit out this sentence. was so frightened that Li Yue's heartbeat missed a beat. He quickly looked up and found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at him with burning eyes. Is this a question of sin?
