In the dark night, Wang Yingzi looked at Zhang Yuan listening intently, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "What did senior brother hear?" ”

Zhang Yuan made a sharp move: "I can hear it." "That's the big truth.

Wang Yingzi said in her heart: "Some sounds can't be heard by ears. Asked: "Senior brother, have you ever heard the sound of apricot blossoms withering, and the apricot blossoms falling in the sound of wooden fish?" ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "This is synaesthesia, the younger sister of the infant is a female poet, this feeling is difficult for ordinary people to reach." He smiled and said: "How much do you know about the flowers in your dreams, how can the monk pay attention to it, just break the wooden fish." ”

Wang Yingzi called him senior brother, Xinghua Temple was near the left, Zhang Yuanzhen felt that he was Xiao Ran with a great sense of Zen - Wang Yingzi smiled: "Senior brother's words are quite rhymed, but it seems to be half a Huanxi yarn." His voice turned softer and he said, "Senior Brother Jiezi, you have the ability to never forget, so can you still remember the voice you just heard after many years?" Wang Yingzi felt that this moment was worth remembering, it seemed mundane, but it was very important to her.

Zhang Yuan's heart was very quiet at this time, long and vast, and said: "Many years later, if someone reminds me, I will remember, if no one talks about it, it seems difficult to remember for no reason." ”

Wang Yingzi said "um" and said: "The skillful work and the wise worry, the senior brother has desires and demands, things are too annoying, I am afraid it will be difficult to remember this moment in the future, let me help you remember." ”

I don't know why, Zhang Yuan's heart instantly flashed the scene of Wang Yingzi stroking bamboo in the bamboo forest in the garden last year, and now, the younger sister of Yingzi said in a very calm tone that she had broken off the idea of the female champion, but it was even more heart-wrenching - Wang Yingzi said: "I know that my senior brother has great ambitions, and now I have a talent and fame, such as Jiao into the sea, Shanyin City is not long in time, and it will be difficult to meet my senior brother in the future, it is really melancholy." ”

Wang Yingzi is very straightforward, that's what she thinks in her heart, and she doesn't think she can't say it.

Zhang Yuan said: "Teacher, I will often come to visit-" Suddenly thought that the younger sister of Yingzi was the same age as him, she was seventeen years old this year, and she should also talk about marriage, and the senior sister was a little strange tonight, like a kind of farewell, is this really the case?

A maidservant girl walked out of the wall door and said, "Second Miss, Mrs. is looking for you." ”

Wang Yingzi said: "Senior brother, then I will go in, I wish the senior brother the township test and the test success." "Blessed with a blessing, he walked through the wall door.

Zhang Yuan stood alone under the big locust tree in front of Mr. Wang's door for a while, turned around and wanted to go, the old man of the palace picked a lantern and came out, and said: "Zhang Gongzi, it's dark, pick a lantern to light the way, the second lady ordered." While looking at it, he shouted: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, come here and take the lantern." ”

Wu Ling ran over to take the lantern and asked, "Young Master, are you going to White Horse Mountain?" Although Wuling is looking forward to staging "The Legend of the West Chamber", because of the little maid Yunjin beside Shang Ran, Wuling is now extremely enthusiastic about going to White Horse Mountain.

Zhang Yuan said: "Let's go again tomorrow, it's too late now." ”

Wuling "oh" sound, a little disappointed, carrying a lantern to light the way, the master and servant walked through the Xinghua Temple, Zhang Yuan stopped in front of the Xinghua Temple, Wuling saw that the young master stopped, so he took the lantern to the flower tree to take a photo, and said: "Young master, this apricot blossom is almost gone, the ground is full of white flowers, snow-like." ”

When the apricot blossoms bloom, there are red and white, and when they fall, they are all white, like the snow in April, Wang Anshi has a poem that says: "A wave of spring water surrounds the flower body, and the flower shadow is enchanting and occupies the spring." Even though it is blown into snow by the spring breeze, it is better than Nanmo to crush into dust. ”

The evening class of the monks of Xinghua Temple is over, the Sanskrit singing quietly, the sound of the wooden fish is also gone, Zhang Yuan looked back at the front of Mr. Wang's door, the wall door has been closed, the dusk light felt that has been paved has of course disappeared, Zhang Yuan shook his head, walked forward, and soon arrived at the Yue Wang Bridge - the night of Mengxia, not cool or dry, looking down from the bridge, the river sinks, the lights of the night boat reflect the rippling flow of the water, this year's Shaoxing summer wheat harvest is acceptable, the famine has passed, the continuous lights and ethereal sheng songs on both sides of the Fu River show that the rich Jiangnan is still a peaceful scene, Zhang Yuan slowed down, Xiao Sanyuan's spirit calmed down at this time, he felt that he had to do too many facts, he was in a hurry, did he miss something, this year's apricot blossoms have fallen, and when the flowers and shadows are enchanting next year, I am afraid that I will not be able to talk to him face-to-face by this wall door, right?

The two little brothers shouted to read and read - Zhang Yuan saw his mother, jumped off the horse to greet him, and saw the girl in the blue lotus dress next to his mother, although she was covered with a veil, he also recognized who it was, and said in surprise: "Ran, why are you here!" ”

Shang Ran was blessed, and said with a smile: "Come and see Zhang Langkua Street." ”

Zhang's mother, Lu Shi, looked at her son in a square scarf and a beautiful and elegant Miss Shang, and drank honey in her heart, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and urged her son: "You hurry up and get on the horse, the people behind are waiting." ”

The team of Xiucai of Kua Street came to the outside of the star gate of the school palace, Zhang Yuan and others dismounted, led by Sun Jiaoyu and Zhu Xundao to walk across the half-moon-shaped Panchi Bridge, this Panchi Bridge can only be walked by the meritorious people above the student, the common people can not walk, the new eighty Xiucai fish across the bridge, into the Dacheng Palace, worship Confucius, and then to the Confucian Minglun Hall to see Sun Jiaoyu, Sun Jiaoyu read out the eight prohibitions of the "Lying Inscription", such as the students are not allowed to discuss the government and politics, non-major events do not go to the public gate, etc., these prohibitions have long been empty words, The students love to talk about the government, and the students love to control the lawsuit - the red tape is busy for a whole day, and finally Hou Zhixian banquets the new students, and when Zhang Yuan returns home, it is already night, it used to be a sparse bamboo fence door, and now it is a wall door with a bamboo horizontal plank, and the sparse bamboo fence can see the light leaking from the foyer, which is not interesting, but now it is two large lanterns hanging high, and there is already the atmosphere of a large family.

Two of the four wall doors were open, and before Zhang Yuan and Wu Ling could enter the door, they heard the big stone in the wall door shouting: "Why are you here again, I know you are called Laifu, but the young master of my family said that you don't accept slaves - you go out quickly, if you don't go out again, I will call Uncle Mu-"

Wu Ling said with a smile: "Young Master, it's that Laifu who is here again, and he has been wandering around the neighborhood for the past two days and refuses to leave." ”

Zhang Yuan entered the door, and the Laifu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Young Master, Young Master Jiezi, the villain Laifu, the family lives by the Changsheng Bridge in Huating, because the house was occupied by Dong Zuyuan, homeless, begged the young master to take him in, the young master dared to beat Dong Zuchang, the villain admired it very much, so he came from afar to defect." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It turns out that you are still from Huating, and you were originally a slave of the Dong family?" ”

Laifu said: "The villain is innocent, not a slave of the Dong family, the villain has a way, young master, please see." ”

Zhang Yuan took the road and looked at it, this Laifu is a bamboo craftsman, a craftsman, so he interrogated Laifu a few words, did not notice any flaws, and said: "Laifu, your origin is unknown, I can't take you in, I will help you with a few hundred dollars to make a living, you better go back to Huating to make a living." ”
