Three hundred years ago......

By the river, the low-hanging willow branches swayed gently in the breeze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The water was clear and clean, and the birds on the willow branches opened their beaks, as if they were about to cry, and as if they were dozing. When the last willow fell, the last stroke on the drawing paper was gently lifted.

Dressed in a green shirt and dressed as a scholar, Mu Tianya sat by the river admiring his latest completed paintings, with a rather accomplished smile on the corner of his mouth, but after a while, he frowned again, and still failed to achieve the effect he wanted. He has always been very strict with his works.

Suddenly, just when Mu Tianya was staring at the river and was stunned, a melodious song was played nearby, and the sound of the guqin strings gradually sounded like a heavenly sound.

At this moment, a drop of morning dew fell on the wicker and dripped into the gurgling and still flowing stream, causing a circle of subtle ripples.

Seeing the ripples spreading and disappearing, Mu Tianya's mind flashed, and he hurriedly picked up the paintbrush and added a few strokes to his paintings with this beautiful melody.

The ink falls, and the pen stops.

In the painting, there is an extra petal in the river, and there is a subtle ripple around the petal, which looks like the petal has just fallen to the surface of the water, and the next moment it will float away with the flowing water. The splashing ripples and the streamline of the river complement each other, and a picture of the falling flowers and flowing water that almost wants to flow out of the paper is very expressive!

Looking at his works, this time, Mu Tianya laughed "haha", jumping and jumping, happy like a child!

Mu Tianya put the brush and this proud work into the painting box and carried it on his back.

"This tune...... That's good! Mu Tianya sighed, the song came from the other side of the river. "Roll up your trouser legs and flow across this shallow river. Mu Tianya was determined to thank this person who played the music.

There was still a faint mist in the forest in the early morning, and following the beautiful melody of the guqin, Mu Tianya still saw the performer of the song.

It was a woman about his age, who looked to be in her twenties. At this moment, the woman is holding the guqin in her arms and sitting on the straw mat. The onion-like fingers plucked the strings and sang a melodious tune.

Her voice was so beautiful and beautiful that Mu Tianya couldn't help but stop approaching. Although he wanted to express his gratitude, he couldn't bear to interrupt the song and disturb the beautiful picture in front of him. Just listened and watched from afar.

The poems are also toneless, and the fu is tired

How much do you know about flowing water?

The wind is also dashing, and the clouds are fluttering

The geese have passed without a trace and the autumn leaves have withered.

……

At the end of the song, the woman sighed softly. Mu Tianya, the queen of the forest, was also rendered by her singing, and her eyelids drooped, adding a little melancholy.

"Sister Ji Rufei! Sister Ji Rufei! There are a lot of guests here today, and the godmother told you to go back! Just when Mu Tianya raised his feet and was about to go out to meet, a little girl dressed as a maid ran in. He looked slightly anxious.

"Got it." Ji Rufei replied in a cold tone. While packing things up.

"It turns out that her name is Ji Rufei." Seeing the woman leave, Mu Tianya wanted to catch up, but he took a few steps forward but lost his confidence. He was stupid and didn't know what to say.

However, he didn't want to miss the past like this. After the two of them had walked a long way, they made up their minds to follow.

After a while, the two girls walked into a city, Changle City.

Mu Tianya also followed and was about to walk in, but was stopped by the head of the errand guarding the city gate, "Stop, the Holy Master has recently taken over, and the whole city is under martial law." Anyone with suspicious items will be searched! ”

"Big brother, trouble me...... Go first, I'll ...... I'm in a hurry! Looking at Ji Rufei's shadow gradually disappearing in the crowd, Mu Tianya was very anxious and discussed with the head of the errand.

However, the head of the errand officer did not buy it with a high-minded look: "No! To ensure the safety of the Holy Master, you must be checked! As he spoke, he pouted at a few of his subordinates.

"What kind of is this?" Several people rudely rummaged through Mu Tianya's luggage and picture frames. They inevitably damaged several paintings, including the masterpiece "Falling Flowers and Flowing Water" that Mu Tianya had just completed.

Mu Tianya's heart is dripping blood, and he is as crazy as him. You know, that's the pinnacle of his inspiration!

No suspicious items were found, and it stands to reason that they were to be released.

The leader of the errand glanced down, stared at the money bag on Mu Tianya's waist, and ripped the money bag off with his hand.

"You...... What are you doing? Mu Tianya was furious. I haven't heard of the need to check the money bags of pedestrians when entering the city!

Put it in your hand, and then pour out all the money in your hand. After the leader of the errand showed a snicker, he turned to a serious look and said, "Dare to steal official silver!" Come on, take him down for me!! ”

Several servants were stunned for a moment, but after looking at the leader's eyes, they immediately surrounded Mu Tianya and grabbed him.

"Also...... Give it back! You guys...... You robbers!! Mu Tianya said angrily.

Officer: "What are you yelling about?" Possession of official silver is a great crime to kill the head! Put him in prison and try him at a later date. ”

"Yes!" A few officers were commanded. Escort Mu Tianya to the city.

"Wait," the officer leader called out to a few of his men. Turning around, he suddenly changed his sad expression and sighed and said, "You are an outsider, these officials don't have much money, and I don't know what you look like." Alas...... Never mind. The official money is confiscated, let him go. ”

In this way, Mu Tianya was released. It didn't take long for me to hear a few errand officers talking about "developed" and "opening meat and buying wine".

For these, Mu Tianya knew that there was nothing strange about the tricks of the errand servants to grab money. Although he may have some guilt in his heart, he is not a person who cherishes money.

Now he just wants to find the woman named Ji Rufei who plays fairy music.

Walking through the lively crowd and taking slow steps, Mu Tianya's heart was not calm. I lingered like this for a long time, until at night, I saw the little maid in the morning come out of a door with a plaque of "Listening to the Rain".

Mu Tianya walked in without hesitation, but fortunately, he kept an eye on it when he roamed the rivers and lakes, and there was a silver ticket hidden in his hat that could be used to pay for entering the Xuan.

Originally, when she saw Mu Tianya's poor and sour old woman, her eyes were snarky, but after receiving the silver ticket in her hand, she instantly squeezed out an ugly smile: "Please be a guest officer!" ”

The space here is spacious and brightly lit at night. There are a lot of guests, and all of them are men. Basically, every guest is accompanied by a beautiful woman dressed in fancy clothes.

Refused the hospitality of several beauties and wandered alone for a while, Mu Tianya could feel from the atmosphere here that this was home...... Brothel!

Suddenly hearing the sound of the piano, Mu Tianya reflexively followed the sound. Located in the central pool of Tingyuxuan, there are some water lanterns floating, and a pavilion is erected above, and a scene of green gauze tent is pulled around the pavilion. The sound of the piano came from there.

Walk closer and look at the shadow of the pipa in his arms on the green gauze tent. Mu Tianya was sure that she was Ji Rufei.

Long night dreaming drizzle,

The voices of the people gradually stopped, and the sound of the rain died down.

Exile in December,

I only envy the morning glory and build the magpie bridge.

The tune is tactful, the voice is beautiful, and there is a little sadness in it.

Mu Tianya found a place to sit down, took out a pen and paper, and copied the shadows behind the pool, lotus, water lantern and green gauze tent.

She is just a drama, living in the red dust, and she is forced to live in the place of fireworks.

He is just a painter, who has traveled all over the world, but his dream is not recognized by anyone.

Fate brought together two people who were so similar.

The drama enters the painting, the end of the world!

In the green gauze tent, Ji Rufei also noticed Mu Tianya, who was copying and painting. Compared with the laughing and shouting wine and meat people, she also aroused some interest in this unusual man.

Every time Mu Tianya looked up, he could always feel that behind the green gauze tent, there was a pair of wonderful eyes also looking at him. I couldn't help but laugh stupidly.

Time flies quickly, the song ends, and the people disperse.

Seeing the curtain call, Mu Tianya wanted to go backstage to meet her. Halfway through, he was stopped by several burly bodyguards. I had to give up,

Late at night, Mu Tianya rested in the guest room here. The girl knocked on the door twice in the middle of the night, but he sent her away.

The next day, early in the morning.

Mu Tianya got up very early, which was a habit he developed from long-term travel.

I stretched out and got out of bed to wash up briefly. Push open the windows to let the outside air in. Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of Ji Rufei who went out with a pipa in her arms.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Tianya decided to follow. This time, no matter what, I must thank her in person. Although that painting is now ruined......

It's still a quiet place outside the city, a grove with fresh air.

Ji Rufei sat on the straw mat like yesterday and stroked the strings.

Mu Tianya followed, stepping on a dead branch under his feet, making a crisp sound.

"Who?" Ji Rufei subconsciously looked back. Seeing Mu Tianya, who was stunned and at a loss, Ji Rufei's eyes relaxed a little, "It turned out to be you." ”

After a glance back this time, Mu Tianya saw her appearance up close. Although it does not have the alluring appearance of Xi Shi Diao, there is a kind of Lanhui in the beautiful eyes, which gives people a feeling of wanting to take care of it.

"You...... Remember me? Mu Tianya blurted out.

Ji Rufei nodded, "I noticed you were drawing things last night, can you show me?" ”

Mu Tianya was a little cramped, took out last night's painting from the painting basket and handed it to her, "Please ...... Don't laugh, girl. ”

took the painting and spread it out to take a look, Ji Rufei was a little stunned by the realism of the scene in the painting!

The pool, the lotus leaf, the pavilion and the shadow on the green gauze tent all look so real, so vivid!

Ji Rufei looked at the slightly cramped man in front of her with wide eyes, and said with a little disbelief: "You are so powerful!" ”

Mu Tianya scratched his head and said with a smile: "Your piano ...... It's wonderful to play! ”

At that moment, Mu Tianya told her what he had been doing when he was painting nearby yesterday and heard the sound of the piano. Ji Rufei smiled when she heard this.

The two sat opposite each other and talked. From music to landscape, from life to ideals......

In the days to come, early in the morning, both of them would come to this place together. One painted, the other composed music, during which they scrutinized each other, and slowly became confidants and friends. At night, Ji Rufei would return to listen to Yuxuan's piano and singing, while Mu Tianya would copy it carefully offstage.

Gradually, someone found that Mu Tianya's painting was good, so he asked him to paint portraits of himself and his friends. Relying on these rewards, Mu Tianya can solve his food, clothing, and accommodation problems here.

In the brush, the pipa strings tie the marriage of the previous life.

In time and space, travel through three hundred years......
