Chapter 17: Fireworks at Yuehu Lake
Between the three counties of Gaosuo County, Qianchen County and Baimao County, there is a big lake, named Yue Lake.
Yue Lake is the famous scenic spot of Linchuan County, there is Qixia Ridge in the north, there is Qian Chaojiang River in the south, the lake is in spring, the beautiful scenery is endless, and at the same time, it is the gathering place for talented and beautiful people in the area of the long river to play in the mountains and rivers, chant poems and paint.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, a grand poetry meeting will be held on Yue Lake, which not only gathers many talents from the surrounding three counties, but also many people and ink writers come together to join in the fun.
Before it gets dark, many painting boats and boats have already hung lanterns on Yue Lake, and the willow trees on the shore have begun to rejuvenate after the frost and snow of winter. The mountains in the north are covered with green and green, and the restaurants on the south bank are shouting and drinking.
Many fishing boats roam the river, and because it is the Lantern Festival, they are not actually used for fishing. Or the fisherman dragged his family to play, or was rented by a certain talent, and the boatman explained the surrounding scenery to the scholar who rented the boat while rocking it. Of course, the people who can rent fishing boats are often not wealthy.
Among these fishing boats, the large and small and beautifully decorated boats are much more conspicuous than these fishing boats.
But what is even more conspicuous is a brand-new small light boat.
This light boat, like a flat leaf on the river, is not an ordinary fishing boat, but used by rich people in their own lakes. However, even so, there is nothing to care about, and what really attracts attention is the girl paddling on the light boat.
This girl, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wore a beautiful jasper red skirt with a placket on her chest, lined with embroidered gold orchid bandeau in lotus color, and the top of the bandeau was decorated with gold threads. No matter how you look at it, this is the daughter of a rich family, and she is beautiful, charming and lovely.
At this moment, she held the oar in both hands, and the small oar paddled gently on the water, and took the boat to the center of the lake.
In front of her, there was a younger brother who was older than her, wearing a small Ke Aya and Luo long shirt with a white background and a long coat with cloud patterns, wearing a leather mou made of deerskin, sitting on a boat, flipping through a scroll, and looking leisurely.
The appearance of the two people is somewhat similar, it looks like a pair of brothers and sisters, but when the elder brother sits there reading a book, he lets his sister row there, which is really unbearable.
Some scholars even wanted to roll up their sleeves and jump over and beat him, like this, people who don't know how to pity their sisters are also qualified to read sage books and be readers?
Of course, many of them are scholars, and the ones who row or shake for them are also the daughters of the fishermen's family, but this nature is still different, the daughters of the fishermen's family, it is a matter of course to rock the oars for them, and the little girl, with delicate skin, willow and flowery, graceful and lovely, beautiful and delicious, let such a beautiful, and at a glance know that there is a well-born daughter's family to rock, it is really a tyrannical thing.
The surface of the lake sparkled in the setting sun, and circles of white light swung along the boat to the sides.
"Brother," the girl sighed, "let my sister help you row, you can really sit still." ”
"You are now a person who practices martial arts, your brother and I are just a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, and I can't hold a few strokes if you let me hold the oar," the young man smiled, "Besides, this is also a test for you, the water is impermanent, the observation and mastery of the flow of water is similar to the observation and mastery of the enemy's tricks, as a person who practices martial arts, even the flowing water without independent consciousness cannot be conquered, how dare I let you walk the rivers and lakes in the future?" ”
The girl's mouth pouted: "It's clear that you can't tie the chicken, but when it comes to martial arts, it's still the same as the real thing." ”
The young man said: "Don't believe it, don't you know that there are predecessors who have been watching the water on the shore of Dongting Lake for ten years, and they have realized the rain swordsmanship, and finally become one of the top two masters in the world?" ”
"Really?" The girl said incredulously. She has never walked the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't know if there is really a senior master named Lang Chuyun, who can see a top master when she looks at the water, which is really the same as a novel.
She asked curiously: "Since there are two masters, which one is a master by looking at water, and the other is looking at what is a master?" ”
Watch adulterers. Woman...... Ning Jiang thought.
In "Raining Clouds and Clouds", Pang Ban gave his beloved Le Bingyun to Feng Xinglie, and then hid to watch the two of them do it every day, and finally achieved great success and shattered the void...... But don't tell your sister about such an extreme method, just let her look at the mountains and water.
On the one hand, observing the flow of water is indeed similar to observing the enemy, and on the other hand, it is difficult for his sister to lift the oars, let alone rowing, so this way also requires internal force. And how to adjust and use the internal force, in order to row better without wasting, this is something she needs to master, he can instruct, but there is no way to help too much.
In martial arts, one's own experience and body's memory are the most important.
Ning Xiaomeng pursed his lips, but he was convinced of his brother. Although her brother doesn't know martial arts at all, if she doesn't understand something, she takes "Xuanji Sword Dance" to find her brother, and her brother can always tell her way, as long as she does what her brother teaches, she can always prove that her brother is right afterwards. Over time, in the practice of martial arts, she unconsciously began to rely on her brother, and she did what her brother said.
It's just that, in the eyes of other people around, it was a petite and weak girl rowing hard there, and a teenager bigger than her sat leisurely on the boat and read. In particular, although he has begun to master some of the flow of water, because of the excessive force at the beginning, at this time the internal force has been a little exhausted, panting, and even the oars are a little unstable, and it is even more obvious that those talented people are full of righteous indignation while sympathizing with the misfortune of the little girl.
So much so that even Ning Jiang began to feel the pressure around him, quietly sweated, and quickly asked Xiaomeng to stop the boat on the shore, so as not to be accused of abusing his sister.
Tie the boat to a stake by the river, and he took his sister to roam the shore with him. The sky slowly darkened, and the surrounding lights became brilliant, and the stars flashed one by one, as if they were connected with the lights on the lake. The painting boats and buildings also became noisy, and the laughter continued. The full moon moved into the sky, radiating a beautiful glow.
On the embankment in front, several high-rise buildings are connected by various ladders, strings of red lanterns are hung high, small boats come and go in front of the embankment, and all kinds of sales are sold on the embankment. Although according to the climate, there will be a last cold snap in a few days, but at this moment it is a warm spring season, and some young talents pretend to shake them around with folding fans.
In the distance at the other end, the strings are like pearls and jade, sometimes brisk, sometimes soothing, which is the dedication of the Qinglou woman. In this era, even Qinglou women are often versatile. Behind them, there were children running, laughing and making noise, and a woman pulled one of the children and warned him not to get too close to the river.
Because the past three years have been during the period of keeping the system, even if it is the New Year, there has been no excitement, the little dream at this moment, it is also novel to look at this, and it is also novel to look at that, and unconsciously run around like a child, Ning Jiang can only shake his head funny. Although filial piety is indeed important, but the three-year system is indeed too exaggerated, to put it mildly, how many three years can there be in a person's life? It's because of the existence of the system, in the past three years, my sister hasn't even had a good New Year, however, if it's according to another world, at this moment, she's just the age of junior high school.
Boom! A firework exploded above their heads, bursting into colorful rings, and immediately after, more fireworks burst into the air.
Ning Jiang looked up at this beautiful scenery, and thought in his heart, if he could really prevent the Yuan Demon Emperor from defeating Emperor Wen in one fell swoop in the Taishan Fengzen three years later, and win a chance to breathe for the Great Zhou Dynasty, then next, steelmaking and cannon making are also an indispensable part, after all, the Yuan Demon Emperor's Mengbing Iron Cavalry is too terrifying, and if there is no weapon beyond this era, it will not be able to compete at all.
"Brother......" Xiaomeng ran to the front, turned around, and beckoned to him. Another firework bloomed, reflecting the surface of the lake and her face, peach cheeks and apricot face, which was extremely cute.
Ning Jiang smiled, and under the fireworks in full bloom, he walked towards his sister......
