Fishing boats carry wine day with each other, piccolo and reed flowers blow in the depths. The wind and clouds on the lake are scattered, and the water and sky are shining with blue glass.

This is the portrayal of Kasawa Lake in Pingjiang Prefecture, Kasawa Lake is more than 30 miles away in the southwest of Pingjiang Prefecture, with a radius of 800 miles, with 48 islands, 72 peaks, lakes and mountains, reflecting each other. In the past, people said that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River were beautiful, and Kasawa was especially victorious, which is really true.

Among the islands, Rinya Island is the most beautiful, Rinya Island is located in the southeast of Kasawa, and 21 of the 72 peaks of Kasawa are on this island. The island is surrounded by water on all sides, the ground is separated from the hustle and bustle, the realm is called Lingxiu, the main peak is called the forest house, the green bamboo is thousands of clouds around the island, the green forest covers the sun, the end is the water and wood Qinghua, the scenery is secluded, there are really a lot of people who come here to visit the mountains and enjoy the scenery every year. In addition, the divine power of Linwu Island is quite victorious, there are hundreds of temples and Taoist temples, and there are countless good men and women who come here to worship incense.

This day is the valley rain, early in the morning, the island began to drizzle, not long the rain is getting heavier and heavier, a little rain is connected into a silver line, the mountains and rivers near and far seem to be covered with a thin veil. The heavy rain has made the usually fragrant Lam Uk Island much quieter, and the rain hits the green bamboo, making a gurgling sound, echoing the bells on the island. At the turn of Tatsumi, the sky was still very dark, and the sun was hidden in the clouds, leaving only a pale white shadow.

Shen Changning finished copying a page of scriptures, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he simply put down his pen and got up and walked to the porch, the fragrance of gardenias outside the house came with the cool air with the wind, and a few gardenia trees next to the cloister were drenched in the rain of the morning, and the remaining flowers were all over the ground, and the few flowers left on the branches became more and more leafy and white, elegant and beautiful. She picked a few flowers with intact flower shapes, washed and raised in the green glaze pen wash, the snow-white petals unfolded layer by layer in the water, the light fragrance floated on the surface of the water, she pressed a few vermilion clear agate in the heart of the flower, the flower sank to the bottom of the water, the white flowers and red stamens, quite good-looking.

Qing Dai came in with a flower dew, and when she saw the girl playing with the pen wash, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Girl, you have copied the scriptures for an hour, let's rest for a while." ”

Changning turned around and asked, "What time is it?" Is Aung back? ”

Qing Dai shook her head, "Ah Lang hasn't come back yet, it's raining so hard today, Ah Lang should stay in Pingjiang Mansion, right?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with that purple sand flower pot? Otherwise, why didn't Aung come back? Changning was a little worried. It stands to reason that it is impossible for my grandfather to have an accident, but he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case. Her grandfather Shen Tuan heard three days ago that someone was selling a purple sand flower pot made by a famous teacher in Pingjiang Mansion three days ago, so he rushed to Pingjiang Mansion in a hurry, and originally said that he would come back on the same day, but he didn't return for three days.

Qing Dai said, "Why don't I let Ah Cheng go to Pingjiang Mansion to have a look?" "Ah Cheng is Qingdai's younger brother, her mother is Changning's Fu Mu, her father is the housekeeper, and Changning and her grandfather are served by their family.

Changning thought for a while, "Wait one more day, tomorrow Ah Weng won't come back, you will let Ah Cheng go to Pingjiang Mansion." ”

"Okay." Qingdai should be, seeing that the sandalwood in the incense burner was about to burn out, she took down a incense box from the museum shelf and wanted to renew the incense.

Changning casually pinched a few small woodcarved fish and threw them into the pen wash, "Don't continue, the gardenia is also quite fragrant." ”

Qing Dai put back the incense box and turned around to clean up the bookcase for Changning, "Girl, this wash is also very beautiful to raise flowers, and I will let Ah Cheng catch a few small fish to raise when I go back." ”

Changning said: "Let him get a few small carp, I want to raise potted lotus." ”

Qing Dai smiled, "Okay." I asked him to find the little red carp, and the red carp was the most beautiful. ”

Changning nodded, while the master and servant were talking, there was a sound of the door opening sounding outside the door, Changning got up happily and walked quickly to the door, "Ah Weng!" There was an old man wearing a hat and a hat standing at the gate, and Changning stepped forward, "Ah Weng, why are you only coming back now." ”

The old man listened to his little granddaughter's complaints, and took off his raincoat with a smile, "I met an old friend in Pingjiang Mansion, and I delayed it for a few days, it's not good for Ah Weng." The old man was wearing a green and green Taoist robe, although his hair was white, but his face was still like a crown of jade, clear and elegant, his eyes were black, and there was no turbidity at all, and he carried a purple sand basin about a foot square in his left hand.

Changning looked at the purple sand basin in his grandfather's hand and asked curiously: "Ah Weng, this is the purple sand basin you bought?" ”

"Yes." Shen Yan took off his raincoat, and went to the study with his granddaughter with the purple sand pot with great interest, he put the purple sand pot on the ground and untied the hemp rope on the pot, "He'er, come and see this flower pot." "Changning's nickname is He'er.

Changning took a closer look at this purple sand pot, the shape of this pot is similar to bamboo roots, the color is purple and elegant, the finger marks of the inner tire are like, there are embossed bamboo joints and bamboo leaves, the shape is thick and clumsy, at a glance, she knows that it is everyone's handwriting, she reached out and gently rubbed the basin body, the texture is precise and delicate.

Shen Yan gave Changning a detailed view of the flower pot, and he went to bathe and change clothes first. Changning played for a long time, and noticed that there were two fly-sized Yangwen printed on the bottom of the basin, and she looked at the light carefully, it was the word "pine and cypress", "Ah Weng, this is the work of Song Bainian in the previous dynasty?" ”

"The crane's vision is getting better and better." Shen Jian finished washing and changed into a fine linen robe, and when he heard his granddaughter's judgment, he couldn't help but smile.

"Song Bonian still makes flower pots? I thought he only made purple clay pots. Changning was surprised, if Ah Weng hadn't brought this flower pot back, she wouldn't have thought that it was Song Bonian's work, she hadn't heard of him having purple sand pots to keep aside, but Ah Weng would definitely not buy a fake.

"This is a special flower pot he made for his friend, and his friend never showed it after he got it, and I didn't know it until I saw it in ancient books." Shen said proudly.

Changning smiled and asked, "Ah Weng, what kind of potted plants are you going to plant with this pot?" ”

Shen Shu said: "Am I not a Lingbi stone?" Put it in a pot, and then plant Ganoderma lucidum, decorate a crane, and use the elixir fairy bird as a companion, and it is enough for me to be a burial. ”

"Awen!" Changning glared at his grandfather, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Shen Shu laughed, "You kid, how can people not die?" Why bother with such a pretentious attitude. ”

Changning said angrily: "Anyway, I don't like to hear it, you are not allowed to say it!" ”

Shen Yan has always pampered her, and the little girl yelled at him, but he was not angry, "Okay, Ah Weng won't talk about it, you see what good things I brought you." As he spoke, he put down the teacup and took an inconspicuous black wooden bracelet from his arms.

Changning took the bracelet, twisted it lightly in his hand, sniffed the taste lightly and raised his eyebrows, "It's Qi Nan!" Ah Weng, this is a Qinan bracelet? Changning was surprised and delighted, she had wanted Qi Nan Xiang for a long time, but unfortunately Qi Nan was a foreign product, and it had to be shipped from Jiaozhi Country, which was very rare even in the palace, and it was a rare product that money could not buy.

"Do you like it?" Shen asked with a smile.

"I like it." The little girl smiled happily.

Shen Jun looked at her lovingly, "Does He'er want to go to Fucheng?" ”

"Fucheng?" Changning was stunned for a moment, and looked at his grandfather puzzled, "Ah Weng, are you going to move to Pingjiang Mansion?" ”

"If I don't go, you go." Shen Yan raised his hand and stroked Changning's hair, "When you first arrived at Ah Weng's side, you were only a little smaller. Shen Yan compared it with his hand, "You're so big in a blink of an eye." ”

Changning listened to Zu Weng's words with emotion, thinking of the life and death he had just mentioned inexplicably, an ominous premonition floated in her heart, and she pouted, "Ah Weng, are you annoying me?" Want to drive me away? ”

"Of course not." Shen Tuan tapped the little girl's forehead, "You will be eleven in the coming year, you can't stay on this rural and deserted island, go to your uncle's house in Fucheng, and learn some things from your aunt that girls should learn, otherwise you won't be able to marry in the future." ”

Changning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I won't go to Fucheng, I won't marry." "It turns out that my grandfather is thinking about his future, and she has already thought about her future.

"If you are a child, how can a girl not get married?" Shen Jian was only a little girl and didn't want to leave herself, "Besides, Fucheng is much more lively and prosperous than here, and it's much more fun." Do you remember your aunt? She always loves you the most. "Shen Jian is ready to take her Shen family's generation of the head of the family, she has always been dignified and virtuous, and she will be able to treat He'er well and find a good family for He'er. Isn't it just to look at the dowry when people marry women? Shen Shu decided to prepare ten miles of red makeup for her granddaughter!

"My aunt loves me, but she has children and grandchildren, if she loves me the most, what will happen to her children? Isn't it Ah Weng who hurts me the most? Changning retorted, she is an orphan, she was raised by her grandfather since she was a child, she was ten years old, and she went to the Shen family in Fucheng twice, and her aunt and several cousins were really good to her, but that was just hospitality, how could there be any true feelings? She didn't treat them as relatives, so she could expect others to treat her as her own daughter?

Shen Yan was speechless by what his granddaughter said.

"Besides, girls don't have to get married, don't Tsinghua real people not get married? Awn I don't want to marry, I don't want to leave here. "Changning is talking about the famous female crown Tsinghua real person in the previous dynasty. Tsinghua Zhenren was born noble, her mother is a princess, her father is the first assistant, she is the only daughter of her parents, because of her belief in Taoism, she never married.

"You want to become a monk?" Shen Jian didn't want his granddaughter to want to become a monk, "Can you survive the hardships of becoming a monk?" ”

"We're no different from a monk now, and I don't feel any hardship." Changning disagreed, "I still have to practice, how can I practice when I go to Fucheng?" Ah Weng, didn't you say that you need to be quiet in practice? The city is not quiet. "She has been practicing the Zhou Tian Tong Pulse Technique since she was eight years old, and she has now broken through the ten serious rules, so she has no intention of getting married and having children. Ah Weng said that before the big and small Zhou Tian, it was best not to marry, otherwise it would be difficult to enter the innate realm. She must not let Ah Weng send her to Fucheng, she doesn't want to stay in the mansion and wait for marriage.

Shen Shu smiled, "The word Qingjing has nothing to do with whether you are in Fucheng or not, if you are quiet here, you can't be quiet when you go to Fucheng, then it is not really Qingjing." ”

"But when I went to Fucheng, I didn't have time to practice, there were too many people there." Changning went to Pingjiang Mansion twice with her grandfather, the first time she lived for three months, surrounded by maids and servants, she did not study and practice with peace of mind, and then she and her grandfather left the mansion as if they fled, and the second time only stayed for three days. Her cultivation requires an absolutely quiet environment, and there are people around her who will definitely not be able to cultivate.

His granddaughter's words made Shen Qian feel related, and he didn't like to go to Fucheng, because he was too popular and had too many distracting thoughts, which was really not conducive to cultivation. He secretly thought that He'er had good qualifications and was willing to cultivate hard, if she could practice as hard as she is now, within ten years, she would definitely be able to become an excellent Xuanmen wonder, and it would be a pity for her to marry and have children. If He'er didn't want to cultivate, he would definitely not force her, but now she only wants to cultivate, and if she forces her to go to Fucheng to marry and have children, it will delay her. Shen Yan's face did not move, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, he deliberately sighed to his granddaughter: "You have just cultivated now, and you are on the rise, you must feel that your cultivation is good, and after more than ten years, you will see others full of fine clothes and food, rich and rich, but you are practicing penance on a desert island, will you still be willing to do so then?" Don't regret it? ”

Changning asked, "Ah Weng, if I were Qing Xiu, would I live here?" Will you stay with me? ”

"No, it won't." Shen Yan said with a straight face, "How can I accompany you for the rest of my life?" But this is the private property of the Shen family, so you can naturally live there. ”

"What's there to be bitter about?" Changning is puzzled, the place where they live now is a small courtyard with two entrances, which is exquisite and comfortable, and there is an orchard tea forest in the back mountain for their daily expenses.

Shen Shu said: "You also see the pilgrims who come here to make incense, don't you envy those little ladies who are about the same age as you?" ”

There are many Taoist temples in Linwushan, the incense is vigorous, there are often rich and noble families who come here to enter the incense, those noble ladies and noble girls who come, each dressed gorgeously, and the servants are surrounded by each other. When Shen Shu was young, he was also a noble son of brocade clothes and jade food, he never got tired of eating, and he enjoyed the glory of the world, so he felt particularly guilty about his granddaughter, this child lived on an isolated island with him when he was a child, and he didn't enjoy the enjoyment he should have, so when the Shen family in Fucheng sent a letter to ask about He'er, he moved his mind to send He'er to Fucheng.

"I don't envy them, at least they can't travel everywhere at will, everyone has their own needs, and they can't take everything. Thousands of good fields are only three meals a day, and the vast mansion only sleeps on the couch for three feet, I have the spirit of planting fairy birds as a companion, can make flowers and grass, and nourish the spirit, why don't you want to? What is there to regret? And I don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can I talk about hardship? Changning feels that her understanding of bitterness is very different from Ah Weng, she eats exquisite vegetarian food, using sandalwood and Qinan, and someone serves her in and out, and she opens her mouth to stretch out her hand when she eats.

Shen Shu didn't want his granddaughter to be able to say this, so he was silent for a long time, clasped his palms and laughed, "Okay! is worthy of my Shen Tunan's granddaughter! ”

If a solemn and rigorous person listened to Changning's words, he would definitely think that the little girl was too indulgent and needed to be properly restrained and raised, but Changning was raised by Shen Tuan, and her temperament was like enough Shen Tuan, Shen Tuan listened to her words, and she would only think that she had a clear heart, was not stained with dust, and it was too late to rejoice, so how could she be strictly restrained? Shen Shuzheng asked his granddaughter: "He'er, are you from the bottom of your heart?" ”

"Of course." Changning said without thinking, she has always thought that she is a person favored by God, not only let her be reincarnated with memories when she is reincarnated, but even in ancient times when she was strict with women, she could meet a good grandfather like Ah Weng, who was willing to teach herself anything, and let her practice martial arts. If she hadn't enjoyed this kind of freedom, she would have resigned herself to her fate, worked hard to make her life better, but she had already enjoyed it, and she would never throw herself into the net again.

Shen Yan got up and walked to the quiet room on the second floor, "He'er, you come with me." ”

Changning was overjoyed, did Ah Weng promise her to become a monk?

Shen Tuo's quiet room was empty except for two futons and an incense burner, Shen Tuo and Shen Changning sat cross-legged on the futon, and Shen Tuo asked his granddaughter: "He'er, do you know the Qi Refiner?" ”
