Chapter 5 Lin'an
Horses galloped all the way, trekking through mountains and rivers.
The capital of Southern Chu, Lin'an City, is already close at hand.
Lin'an is a simple and heavy, but gentle and beautiful place.
The towering city wall in front reveals a little vicissitudes. Vaguely, I can feel that it is singing in a low voice at the moment, taking place in this famous city in the world, with a thick history and poignant stories.
At the gate of the city, people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic.
Su Li turned over and dismounted cleanly, his eyes looked at the tall and wide city gate, and saw that on it, the vigorous and powerful word Lin'an came into view.
"Lin'an."
"Is this where I'll live in the future?"
The old days of Qingzhou have gradually drifted away, and Lin'an will be another new starting point in his life.
"Childe."
"Where are we going first?"
Xiao Luo, who was following him, led the horse and stepped forward, asking Su Li, who was a little distracted.
"Let's go to West Lake first."
Su Li said in a flat tone, but there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
When he was still in Qingzhou, he had heard about the beauty of Lin'an Xizi Lake countless times, and now, since he came here, how could he not have a sneak peek.
"But this ......"
"Okay."
Xiaoluo was a little embarrassed, but he didn't persuade him, anyway, everything was at the behest of the son.
"Hehe, it's fine."
"Later, we'll go to Prince Kang's Mansion to see you."
Su Li made up his mind in his heart to go to West Lake to have a look. As for when he would go to meet the future father-in-law he had never met, he was in no hurry.
Perhaps, the dignified Prince of Nanchu is in a high position and has important tasks, can you remember that he has two words.
If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate.
The sky is as blue as a wash, reflecting the secluded water, and the cruise ships shuttle back and forth, carrying talented and beautiful women.
At this moment, Su Li stood under the shade of the willows on the shore of Xizi Lake, and he could truly appreciate the incomparable beauty of Xizi Lake.
This is really in response to that sentence, it is better to see than to hear.
"Childe, it's really beautiful here."
"If you want me to say, it's not bad to stay here in the future. The climate is warmer than Qingzhou, and the scenery is better than Qingzhou. ”
Xiaoluo has only arrived in Lin'an City for less than half a day, and his heart has already rebelled. It seems that the beauty of West Lake can really conquer everyone who comes here.
"No matter how beautiful this place is, it is not my home after all."
Su Li did not forget Qingzhou because of the beauty here, although in that city, he did not have too many people to be nostalgic for.
But at least, there was still the mother and the teacher who stayed there. Moreover, there is still a happiest and most carefree memory that he has in the back of his mind.
In his heart, only his mother and teachers can bring him warmth and make him have affection.
Su Li strolled leisurely on the causeway, looking at the blue waves, smelling the flowers, and listening to the birds. He seemed to be walking in a beautiful picture, leaving a little irritability in a foreign country behind for the time being.
Before you know it, you're already intoxicated.
Not far ahead, on top of a quaint arched bridge. Looking up, it seemed to be very lively, and for some reason, there were many young people watching, both men and women.
The man was dressed in a plain brocade dress and had a graceful demeanor. The woman is dressed in a gauze skirt, charming and charming.
These onlookers, judging by their clothing and temperament, should all be scholars in the prime of Lin'an City, and most of them should be from Yin Shi's family.
"What are they doing here?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Lizhong was also a little curious, so he stepped forward and wanted to see what was going on.
He stood on tiptoe and struggled to look into the crowd, and saw a graceful girl surrounded by men and women beside the stone railing of the arched bridge.
She was dressed in a snow-white gauze dress, with a noble and elegant temperament, and her jet-black hair hung down on her slender waist, even if she couldn't see her face, it was enough to make people think about it.
In front of the woman, there was a long desk. At this moment, she was holding a paintbrush in her slender hand, and she was painting with a focused expression.
Such a beautiful place, such a beauty, I don't know if the beauty of West Lake sets off her, or her elegance sets off West Lake.
"What a fresh and refined woman."
Su Li's heart couldn't help but secretly admire.
"This son, excuse me."
"In Xia Suli, dare to ask what the son is called?"
Su Li looked at a man in brocade beside him, stepped forward and saluted, and asked softly.
"I've seen Su Gongzi."
"Li Yu in Xia Qiantang."
The man in brocade also returned to Su Li with a salute and reported to his home.
"Li Gongzi, do you know who this painting woman is? Why are there so many onlookers? ”
Since this Li Yu is a local person, thinking that he should know the identity of the painting woman, Su Lizhong has no other ideas, just some curiosity.
"Huh."
"Su Gongzi must not be a native of Lin'an, right?"
Li Yu smiled slightly, looked at Su Li, and answered a little unexpectedly.
"Oh?"
"How can Li Gongzi see it?"
Su Li was a little strange, he looked down at his clothes at this time, and found that there was nothing different from ordinary people.
Although he is dusty, his clothes are still very neat.
"Master Su, don't look at it, it has nothing to do with clothes."
Li Yu shook his head lightly and said to Su Li.
"That's?"
Su Li was even more strange, it was the first time he had met this Li Yu, why could he be so sure.
"Really?"
"Is it because of the woman who painted?"
Su Li also had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this moment, and thought of this key point, could it be that this woman who painted, what is the special identity of this woman who paints?
"Oh, yes, exactly."
Li Yu saw that Su Li also thought of this, and nodded.
"She is Ruoxi, the first talented queen of Lin'an City, and his father is Wang Lingzhi, a scholar of the current cabinet."
"You say, how many people don't know her in this huge Lin'an City?"
Li Yu looked at Su Li and explained to him the identity of the woman who painted the painting.
"I see."
"It turned out to be the daughter of a scholar in the cabinet."
"And she is also the first talented woman in Lin'an City."
Su Li was also a little amazed at the moment, the woman who painted this painting, no matter which identity she thrown, was extremely noble and extraordinary, no wonder there were so many talented and beautiful people who came to watch.
There was nothing to do left and right, and Su Li was not in a hurry to leave at the moment, so he waited quietly with everyone. He also wanted to see with his own eyes how amazing the paintings made by this so-called first talented woman in Lin'an City were.
Before you know it, a long time has passed. Far from diminishing the number of people waiting here, the number of people gathering together is increasing.
It can be seen from this that Wang Ruoxi's appearance and talent are very attractive to young men and women in Lin'an City.
She was still looking down and concentrating on painting, oblivious to the crowd behind her.
However, these onlookers were quite conscious, they were just waiting quietly, and no one made a sound. No one wants to ruin a masterpiece of care because of the noise that disturbs her.
"Whew."
"But it's finally done."
"I feel so tired."
Wang Ruoxi put down the paintbrush in his hand, picked up the seal next to him, and gently covered the paper. Her painting, at this time, can be regarded as completely completed.
She slowly straightened up, leaned back slightly, and gently rubbed her aching waist with her hands.
Her lazy and casual appearance simply gave the men behind her infinite reverie, silently swallowing the saliva in her throat.
Two very beautiful-looking maids walked quickly to the desk, one holding the side of the drawing paper, slowly raised her arm, and showed her paintings to the onlookers to enjoy.
A breeze blows gently, and the paper dances with it. The lake, lotus flowers, and pleasure boats on the painting are as if they came to life in an instant, which is really amazing.
"It's really lifelike."
Su Li also nodded secretly, admiring in his heart.
Although he is not very good at landscape painting, he has studied with his teacher since he was a child, and has also admired some famous landscape calligraphy and painting. This level of appreciation, he is still a little more compatible.
Wang Ruoxi's landscape painting, although it is not up to the level of a famous artist, is slightly green. But at her age, it is not easy to do this.
The first talented woman in Lin'an City is true.
Nanchu is really a place where talents come out in large numbers, and Zhong Lingyu is beautiful.
Compare poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Among the four countries, Nanchu is the first.
"But what does that have to do with him?"
Su Li shook his head lightly, and planned to leave this place.
No matter how beautiful the painting is, there is no trace of him.
