readx;
It was still early, and Zhao Yuan led the horse and Yunyang to walk on the quiet official road outside Hushan City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the green bamboo forest next to the official road, a small stream passes through the forest, and one or two chickens whined from the village by the stream, and the green smoke gradually rose on the roof, and the fragrance of steamed quinoa wafted over. There was also a boy who was shepherding oxen, with a white mast flower in his hand, and rode his oxen through the stream and into the bamboo forest.
Yun Yang felt that the morning light in front of him was pleasant, and after a few more greedy glances, he heard a low cough in his ears. As soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Yuan's right hand clenched into a fist to his mouth, and his face was a little haggard.
"Ugh." Yun Yang sighed in his heart, "I met a bandit in the Buddha Hall in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and I fought with a fierce beast again in the second half of the night. I didn't rest last night, and I planted a kite all night. With such consumption, the iron body can't bear it? ”
"The emperor really doesn't care about himself."
Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help but open her mouth: "If the general wants to fly a kite, when he gets home, what kind of thing he likes to ask the Hook and Shield Bureau to offer, why bother so much?" ”
Although Zhao Yuan's face was a little gloomy, his eyes were full of radiance. He patted the kite on the horse's back lightly and said, "The Hook and Shield Bureau loves to pay tribute to some painted dragons and phoenixes, beauties and beasts, but I don't like any of them." It's better to do it yourself. ”
"I was in the Song Palace with my mother, although I had been working in the stables all the time, but by chance I met a craftsman from the inner palace and studied with him for half a year."
"I remember one year Qingming Bizha kite, I won the first ...... in the palace She wanted me to be a butterfly for her, but then all kinds of things happened, and I finally lost my word. ”
Yunyang seemed to understand why Zhao Yuan insisted like this. Thinking about it, when he was by the oil lamp last night, his eyes were red, he was cutting bamboo sticks, and cutting rice paper, and what he missed in his heart should be the scene of putting paper kites for beautiful women in the late spring in the Song Palace many years ago.
Her heart instantly became empty, and she replied lightly: "I see." ”
Finally, I arrived at Yuduan Mountain outside Hushan City. Yuduan Mountain is a steamed bun-shaped hill with a very flat top and a thin layer of undried autumn grass growing on the ground at this time.
When they walked to the top of the mountain, there were already people flying kites on it.
Zhao Yuan bolted the Thunder Beast to the tree next to him, took the butterfly kite from his horse, and looked at the slender and curly stripes drawn with deep and shallow ink on it, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"I've heard that you're good at Danqing before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Zhao Yuan glanced back at Yunyang and said, "Now that I see it, I really have a lot less pretentiousness than those royal painters...... Well, it's worthy of my kite! ”
Yunyang couldn't express his gratitude when he heard his praise, so he had to bend his knees and bless him.
Zhao Yuan is really a master of kite flying, his skills are skillful, his steps are light, and he didn't run a few steps, he saw the butterfly kite soaring upward, fluttering to the sky.
Yunyang watched from the sidelines, with a look of disbelief: "What kind of kite flying is this, just send it up!" It's amazing! ”
Zhao Yuan turned his head to see her expression, and there was a brisk look between his eyebrows: "Why don't you try it too!" As he spoke, he handed the kite string to Yunyang.
Yunyang saw that he was so easy to put it down, and he was a little eager to try, so he took it. But as soon as she got started, she knew that it was not that simple.
She only let it go for a moment, and the butterfly, which had spread its wings and soared, immediately fell down as if it was drunk. was so anxious that the tip of Yunyang's nose was sweating.
Zhao Yuan took it lightly from her hand, and only shook the line a few times, and the butterfly kite immediately woke up.
After putting it on the wooden shaft, Zhao Yuan handed the wooden shaft to Yunyang and said, "You take it, let it go, and take away all the worries of your body!" ”
Yunyang took the wooden shaft and nodded with a smile. Zhao Yuan's fingertips tore off the thin thread forcefully, and the butterfly kite rushed to the sky like joy, leaving only a small black dot in the blink of an eye.
At this time, an old voice sounded next to him: "Two good people, today is a crisp autumn, I brought my little grandson here to play, but I forgot to take a kite." ”
"Seeing how much you bring, can you even one of us?"
The two looked back and saw a gray-haired old man standing behind them.
Zhao Yuanyi clenched his fists and said, "Please!" After saying that, he walked to the side of the Muddy Thunder Beast, took off the crab kite and handed it to the old man.
But the old man didn't answer, and still said with a smile on his face: "Good man, my little grandson likes that, you see ......" said and pointed to the Guiyan kite.
Zhao Yuan shook his head very dryly: "I still have this useful." ”
In the end, the old man still walked away with the crab kite. As he walked, he was still muttering: "What are you angry!" I can't even afford colored paper and colors, and a kite with white paper and black ink can be worth a few pennies? I can't bear to give it! ”
Zhao Yuan and Yun Yang both heard his words, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
When Zhao Yuan put the herringbone Guiyan kite into the sky, Yunyang understood why he refused to send the kite.
Because this is the legendary "Jade Gonghou" - a kite that can make a crisp chirp in the wind. Yun Yang looked at this jade gong hou vividly in the sky, and if he didn't look carefully, he really thought it was a neat line of geese.
She was amazed, and thought to herself: "When I was painting the kite this morning, I really didn't notice any difference between this Guiyan kite and the other two. ”
"It seems that the emperor must have made an extremely ingenious mechanism to hide the wind whistle. What he said before was that he won the title of the first paper kite in the Song Palace, which is true. ”
Seeing that the thin lines on the wooden shaft were exhausted, Yunyang stuffed the wooden shaft into Zhao Yuan's hand and said, "The general should also let go of his worries!" ”
Zhao Yuan shook his head disappreciably, but finally took the wooden shaft over. He tore off the thin line, and the herringbone goose slowly disappeared into the clear sky with a loud wind whistle.
Watching it, until the blue sky was clear and only wisps of flowing clouds were left to move slowly, Yunyang retracted his gaze unsatisfactorily.
When he turned his head, he met Zhao Yuan's smiling eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, and there was a faint doting intimacy.
This expression, imprinted in Yunyang's heart, was like a green plum in midsummer suddenly falling into an amber flower carving, and was quickly swallowed up by a thick and greasy pulp, on the surface everything has not changed, but in fact, everything has changed.
She was in a mood for a while, but she didn't notice that the noise of the tourists around her had all disappeared, and it was as quiet as a hollow valley and a secluded mountain.
Yunyang turned around and found that not far behind him, there were thousands of Imperial Forest soldiers standing in fresh clothes and angry horses, and they were lined up neatly and silently. In addition to the Imperial Forest Army, not a single tourist on the huge Yuduan Mountain has disappeared.
