Chapter I
Twilight stood quietly by the lake, her long black hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and a pair of charming eyes looked at the mountains in the distance, as if she was not looking at mountains, and then it was like there was a layer of fog in her eyes, and it seemed that she was not fog.
"I've finally arrived in this world." Twilight thought to herself, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
Because of the beauty of life, the places where Twilight Cloud passes by can always attract men, women and children on the side of the road to pause and look at him and whisper. He didn't mind that, who told him to stay in that dark, lifeless place for too long, too lonely!
So the tea house, flower building, and wine shop in this world...... These are the places he loves to go to, because those places are the most popular! Despite this, he himself is not smiling, even if there are admirers, he always looks at it from a distance, does not dare to approach, and over time he has gained a good name, the world's first iceberg beautiful man! This title is very apt for him, and it really lives up to his beautiful face.
In the Wanhualou of Licheng, the sound of warblers and swallows, singing and dancing, and the fragrance is lingering. Twilight sat among the girls in the private room, leaning lazily on the couch, looking at the warblers in front of her. The white collarbone was exposed outside the collar, and the slender hand was spinning boredly with the white cup, drinking to himself.
Other families are girls serving guests, it's good to him, the girls have long forgotten what they are doing, how can they have professional ethics, and only look at Twilight's face stupidly.
Twilight looked at the girl sitting next to her, and casually handed the glass to her mouth, the girl tilted her head, her eyes staring at him and unconsciously closing her mouth up, the wine she drank was about to spill, and she didn't know it. Twilight smiled evilly, reached out and twisted her face, and the girl's eyes immediately straightened, and she fell softly into his arms, who knew that it hurt. Mu Liuyun shook his head, am I accompanying you, or are you accompanying me! He sat up and pushed the girl away, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it leisurely.
But I heard a group of girls laughing outside, which was very lively. Looking through the curtain, I saw a handsome little brother sitting among the girls, grinning at the corners of his mouth, his face full of smiles, and there seemed to be light in his eyes, full of cunning. From time to time, he said some gossip and meat jokes in the market, which caused the girls to laugh and stagger, and the flowers and branches trembled.
"It's actually a little fairy," Twilight Liuyun was curious, and lifted the curtain and walked over.
The girls saw a beautiful man walking towards him, "Wow, so handsome and beautiful!" "He's coming towards us!" Cheered excitedly.
The little brother looked up and saw someone coming, so he quickly got up and made a move.
Twilight Liuyun also returned the salute: "Dare to ask the name of Brother Tai?" ”
The little brother replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, ask in Xia Liu Mo, may I ask Brother Ren's surname?" ”
"Twilight."
"It's Brother Twilight! I heard that Brother Twilight is the most beautiful man in the world, and when I saw it today, it was such a fairy, it was a great honor to know Brother Dusk, it was a great honor to know Brother Dusk, it was noisy here, can you go to the next talk and talk about wine? ”
"Brother Liu praised it falsely, and I also have this intention, so it will be hard work."
Twilight Liuyun had a fox-like smile on his face, he wanted to figure out what the origin of this Liu Mo asked, isn't it strange that a little fairy is unscrupulous in this world of flowers? So the big sleeves flung out, and Liu Mowen hurriedly followed, leaving those stupid girls in a daze.
There is a small forest on the outskirts of the city, and there is a courtyard in the middle, which is Liu Mowen's home. There was a small stream not far away, the water was gurgling, very clear, there were small flowers blooming by the stream, and there was a small gravel road that stretched all the way to the door of the courtyard.
Liu Mowen pushed open the courtyard door and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Dusk, this is to give up." ”
Twilight looked at the courtyard, in front of which was a row of wooden houses, which looked very quaint, there was a cloister in front of the house, and in the courtyard there was a petal-shaped field, in which some herbs were planted, some of which had bloomed, exuding bursts of medicinal aroma, and a few peach trees were planted in the corner of the yard, and there was a wooden pavilion under the tree, and there was a small round table and a few stools in the pavilion.
"Your yard is very elegant." Twilight said as she walked over to the pavilion and sat down.
Liu Mowen walked straight into the house, came out and put two jars of wine on the table, and then went into the room and took the wine jug and glass, and poured it for Twilight Liuyun. said: "This wine is made by myself, and peach blossoms are used in winemaking, so it is called peach blossom drunk." ”
"Brother Dusk, please!"
Twilight picked up the cup and sniffed it, and drank it in one gulp: "Good wine!" This wine is only available in the sky, how many times can you smell it in the world! Isn't it, immortals? ”
Liu Mo asked and hurriedly said: "Yes, Brother Dusk is really good eyesight." Then he sat down across from Twilight and poured wine into Twilight's cup.
Twilight Liuyun got up and walked over and patted Liu Mowen on the shoulder, "Brother Liu, tell me how you came here?" ”
Liu Mo asked back: "I am a little doctor fairy in the sky, and I am very bored with nothing to do all day, so I sneak down to play." ”
Twilight looked at him, "If you run down like this, aren't you afraid that the higher authorities will punish you?" ”
"A ninth-rate and tenth-rate little doctor like me is not as good as the little fairy next to the great god, I'm afraid that no one will know if I don't return to heaven for the rest of my life, besides, if you punish the crime, you will punish the crime, and it will not be in vain to come to this world." Liu Mowen dodged his gaze.
Twilight listened and shouted, "Good! Come, have a drink, you and I are really in the same way! ”
Liu Mowen hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it all: "Brother Mu, can you tell your story to the younger brother?" ”
Twilight Liuyun didn't hide it: "I am the famous multicolored spirit stone!" ”
Liu Mo nodded knowingly: "Got it, got it." "Don't ask any more questions. Then he saluted Twilight Liuyun and said, "I am very lonely in this world, I have the fate to meet Brother Twilight today, can the younger brother be able to worship Brother Twilight?" How about the two of us walking together? ”
Twilight said, "Okay." ”
So the two looked at each other and smiled, avoiding those red tape, and calling him by his name, which is really easy to find a confidant, so they drank happily and got drunk until dawn.
Since then, the two have been called brothers, because they have similar interests, and they have followed each other like a shadow, stepping all over the mountains and rivers. If you like it, you can live there, twilight clouds play the piano and paint poems, Liu Mo asks to plant flowers and collect medicine and make wine, and go to visit the Hualou restaurant in his spare time, where there are new things to join in the excitement, and the days are not comfortable.
******
Before I knew it, a thousand years had passed.
One day in March, Liu Mowen pulled Twilight Liuyun to Tanzhou City. Twilight Liuyun asked, "Why do you have to come here, aren't the peonies in Luoyang City beautiful?" ”
"You don't know this, in recent years, Tanzhou launched a hundred flowers banquet, I heard that it was led by the royal family, and all the literati and artists in the world rushed to participate in it, and the person who won the first place was not only famous in all directions, but also hired by the government."
Liu Mo asked seeing the disdain on Du Liuyun's face, knowing that he was unmoved, he continued: "I heard that there are many famous ladies who participate, and even as long as the writing is good, the women of the Red Mansion can also do it, and there are prizes for the first prize, you say, isn't it interesting?" ”
Liu Mowen touched Twilight Liuyun with his shoulder, squeezed his eyes, and smiled at him flatteringly.
Twilight looked at him and raised her beautiful eyebrows: "Sounds a little interesting, okay, just listen to you, look at this Hundred Flowers Banquet!" ”
This Tanzhou City, there are really a lot of people on the street, bustling, very lively, the stalls and vendors are shouting hard, all kinds of snacks, melons and fruits, refreshments, rouge gouache are everything, some stalls also have seafood, pearls, coral, dazzling. The shops on the street are also good, bright and clean, with flags on the doors, soliciting business. Because the climate here is like spring all year round, there is a faint humidity in the air, and the flowers are very delicate.
It is worthy of being the capital of the Chu State, and it is full of prosperity.
The two of them watched as they walked, and Twilight gently shook the folding fan in his hand, which was really indescribably chic, causing many women to cover their mouths with handkerchiefs, secretly look at them from time to time, and even quietly follow behind the two of them.
There is a restaurant in front of it that is very magnificent, and there are two little two standing at the door to greet the guests, and Liu Mo, the "Drunken Immortal Residence", reads the plaque on it.
"Liuyun, let's leave it here."
Twilight nodded.
After entering the inside, the boss immediately greeted him and asked politely, "Guest officer, what do you command?" ”
Liu Mo asked, "Boss, can you show us?" ”
"Yes, Xiao Er, take the two guest officers up and have a look."
The restaurant is divided into three floors, the first floor is the hall, and there are a lot of eight immortal tables for guests staying in the hotel and guests from outside to eat. The second floor is a place to drink tea, which is very exquisitely arranged, revealing a smell of books, and there is a platform in the middle, which is used for performances. There are no windows around, and there is a half-height guardrail against the wall, and there is a private room where you can see the pedestrians coming and going on the street below. The third floor is a private room, where you can have dinner and private meetings. There are two floors of guest rooms in the back, and a very large yard, the yard is planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, and there is a small rockery, there are koi fish in the pond under the rockery, the whole yard looks very comfortable, for the guests to enjoy the cool in their leisure time, the restaurant shopkeeper is also very attentive, the details are in place, and the meals are naturally the most famous in the city.
Twilight was quite satisfied with the restaurant, and the two asked for the most expensive room here and stayed there. After washing up and changing clothes, I came to the hall and ordered the famous specialties here, and asked for some wine. After the two finished eating, they came to the private room on the second floor to drink tea.
Towards the afternoon, the sun slanted in, and it was very comfortable. Twilight leaned back on the couch and squinted as she listened to a pair of girls playing and singing a little song on the middle stage. Mo Wen beat to the rhythm and hummed softly in his mouth.
At this time, listening to the noise on the street below, Liu Mowen stood up, leaned on the railing to look down, Twilight Liuyun looked at him, and also looked down, it turned out that there were a bunch of people below, and in the middle there was a young man in blue violet clothes holding a sword and pointing at a man in a fancy costume, protecting Xiao Si and a slender woman behind him.
I only heard the son say: "You dare to stop me, do you know who I am?" My dad but—"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young man in blue: "I don't care who you are, in this imperial city, you dare to bully a weak woman, see if I don't break your leg today!" ”
The young man in the fancy costume looked at the handsome young man in front of him: "Heh, break my legs, just the two of you?" Dare to say that! You're good-looking, why don't you go back with me? Just let this girl go! With that, he reached out and touched the young man.
The young man immediately turned red and shouted, "You are looking for death! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the cold light rise, and it was the young man who picked up his sword and cut off the boy's arm, and the blood stained the sleeves of his shirt red, and dripped down the stone road along his hand. The boy in the costume took a few steps back in pain, covered his arms and shouted to his subordinates: "Hit me quickly!" Shoot him! ”
The servants under his command rushed up, surrounded the blue-clothed young man in the middle, and several people fought together, the handsome young man didn't expect that these domestic servants were also practicing the family, and they fell behind for a while.
The twilight clouds upstairs looked at it with interest: The swordsmanship is okay, but it's a pity that it's a woman, and her strength is not enough! It's good, it's not bad!
Watch the boy lose his hand. Just as she was thinking about whether to help her, she saw a man in white fly forward, protect the young man behind him, and in a few clicks he solved the domestic servants, shouting, "Don't get out of here!" When the servants saw the boy in white, they were so frightened that they hurriedly helped their young master and ran away.
Mo Wen looked at Twilight Liuyun and said to him: "Don't you look at it, the hero saves the beauty!" ”
Twilight didn't answer Mo's questions and looked at the man in white.
At this time, Xiao Er came over to pour tea, and Twilight pointed downstairs and asked casually, "Who is the one in white?" ”
Xiao Er glanced downstairs and replied: "Master, that's Du Wenbo, the eldest son of the Hubu Shangshu family, who is a civil and military all-rounder, very famous, and everyone in Tanzhou knows it." Master, what else do you want? ”
Twilight waved her hand, and Xiao Er retreated.
Twilight Liuyun looked downstairs, and at this time the people had dispersed, only to see that Du Wenbo carefully wiped the ashes on the young man's face with his hands, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, didn't you go to the poetry club?" The boy asked.
"There is something going on today, I came out a little late, but I was lucky to meet you, don't be reckless in the future."
Xiao Si next to him shouted: "He dares!" If the princess hadn't told me, she would have scared him to death! ”
"Little Peach, just your mouth." The young man glared at him and said, "That's because this princess hasn't used real kung fu yet, otherwise he would have looked good!" Isn't it, Brother Wenbo? ”
Du Wenbo smiled and said: "Okay, what you said is right, but you still have to be careful in the future, you sneak out, you can not cause trouble or try not to cause trouble, otherwise let your father know, what should I do, isn't it?" ”
The boy looked at him and nodded.
"Let's go, let's go to the Poetry Society." After Du Wenbo finished speaking, he asked the young man to go first, and he followed on the side.
"Princess?" Twilight said to herself, "I really can't see it, it's actually a princess." ”
Liu Mo also heard Xiao Si's words at this time, and thought: This is the only princess of Chu State, Princess Xin (Xin) Yao?
