Chapter 4: The Sea

It can be seen that Meng Hongyu likes Su Rong very much, maybe because of the fresh breath of her small jasper, maybe because she is like Su Zirong, maybe it's nothing, it's just that a man's nature is easy to change and difficult to change. In the past few days, Meng Hongyu and Su Rong have been very sweet, but Xiao Ziling has become more and more unhappy day by day.

Meng Hongyu thought that she was just jealous and petty, so he didn't bother with her - women, which one is not like this? How could he give up thousands of beauties in the world for the sake of a woman? He would not turn a blind eye to a peerless beauty like Su Rong for fear of Xiao Ziling getting angry! Therefore, he is nephrite jade and fragrant, happy and happy, just wait for a few days Xiao Ziling will naturally be angry, and when the time comes, will she be docile and obedient to please him?

However, Xiao Ziling's sullenness was not all because of jealousy, but because he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that parting was imminent. Originally, she wanted to make good use of this last time, accompany him, get tired of him, give him a sweet memory, and then disappear without a trace. However, at this time, a Su Rong appeared!

Yes, is Su Rong who appeared at this time really the will of heaven? Is it that God knows that she has decided to leave, so this Su Rong, who looks like Su Zirong, will appear next to Meng Hongyu to accompany him through sadness and loneliness, and comfort his heartache for the loss of his lover? So, with Su Rong's company, can she finally leave without worry? Don't worry that he doesn't have a woman to love, don't worry about him being lonely and unaccompanied by him, and don't worry about his pain.

So, she can really leave without worry......

However, before leaving, Xiao Ziling still wanted to get together with Meng Hongyu for the last time to fulfill the little wish hidden deep in his heart: boating on the lake with his beloved, admiring the moon with wine, and talking about poetry and lyrics. When the moon rises, pick a piece of pure moonlight, when the wind passes, grab a few light wisps of wind silk, cut a beautiful and pure memory clothes, and treasure it. In the years to come, if you miss him, you can put on this garment of memory and feel the warmth of memory.

On this night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the cool breeze is blowing.

In the evening, Xiao Ziling had already ordered someone to prepare a flat boat, a few pots of thin wine, and when the moon was on the willow top, she went to knock on Meng Hongyu's door. In the past few days, Meng Hongyu has indulged in Su Rong's gentle countryside and has been much colder to Xiao Ziling. Perhaps, Meng Hongyu thought that the future would be long, and there would be time to get together in the future, and Xiao Ziling was only one thousandth of his life; However, Xiao Ziling knew that she had made up her mind, the parting was imminent, and the reunion was short, for her, Meng Hongyu was the only and last......

When Xiao Ziling came to the door of Meng Hongyu's courtyard, he was stopped by Li Zhao: "Niangniang, it is inconvenient for the emperor to see you now." ”

Xiao Ziling chuckled: "In the past few days, it has been inconvenient for the emperor to see each other, so ...... Don't know when it's time to meet? Perhaps, by the time he had time to see her, she would be gone!

"This ...... The minions don't know. Li Zhao lowered his head and replied softly.

Xiao Ziling couldn't care about Li Zhao's obstruction, bypassed him and went directly to the courtyard, and just walked to the courtyard gate, he was stopped by Lu Yao: "Niangniang...... Please understand the difficulties of the minions, the emperor is now ...... In case the emperor is unhappy, not only the minions, but also your life will not be easy......"

Is this an obvious threat? Yes, if she really angered Meng Hongyu, her life would indeed be difficult, in case she was grounded again...... Then she really can't walk, and it's hard to fly......

Maybe it's more important than the clothes of memory, it's still more important to be able to leave. Xiao Ziling sighed softly, then returned to his room sullenly, and wrote a letter to Meng Hongyu with the jade slave grinding and laying paper. Then, she came to the door of Meng Hongyu's courtyard again and handed the letter to Li Zhao: "When the emperor is done...... political affairs, just ask Manager Li to hand over this letter to the emperor for review. ”

Li Zhaobi took the letter respectfully: "Xie Niangniang is considerate of the slave, and the slave will definitely hand over this letter to the emperor." ”

Xiao Ziling smiled sadly, under the moonlight, her smile was as indifferent as the wind lotus, with a trace of helplessness and pain, and then, she turned around and left with the jade slave - let him go to the merry and happy, she sailed on the lake by herself, and went to the moon with wine......

There is really only "a leaf boat, a few pots of thin wine", but of course, behind this leaf boat, there is a small wooden boat far away, and there are palace maids on the boat who are sitting and waiting with her, the guards who are responsible for protecting her safety, and the captain who supports the boat.

Only Xiao Ziling and the master and servant of the jade slave sat on the small boat, and no one rowed, only let the flat boat float freely with the water, with a trace of "the boat is gone, and the river and sea send the rest of their lives". If he could, Xiao Ziling really wanted to float on the river and sea with this leaf boat, and pin the rest of his life on this vast nature.

Of course, Su Dongpo, who was standing by the river and looking forward to "the boat will pass away forever, and the river and the sea will live for the rest of his life", is guilty, and he only dares to sigh about the dream in his heart, and he does not dare to really float in the sea. Today's Xiao Ziling is the same. This Ye Bian boat seemed to be uncontrolled at this time, roaming the rivers and lakes, however, she did not forget the wooden boat that accompanied her far away.

The boat floated slowly on the surface of the lake, and the bright moon in the sky was like the eyes of the night, which was awe-inspiring. The moon reflected on the surface of the lake, gently swaying, floating on the surface of the lake, with wisps of poetry. Presumably, when Su Dongpo traveled to Chibi, he must have been so suddenly enlightened and relaxed.

With such a beautiful moonlight, he actually tossed and turned in the boudoir, and didn't come out to swim in the lake to admire the moon and chant poetry, what a pity! Xiao Ziling couldn't help but feel sorry for Meng Hongyu. Perhaps, men can only see the beauty of women, but women can see the beauty of nature!

"Miss, when are we leaving?" On the lake, only the two of them coexist with all things, and there is no need to be careful to guard against the ears of the partition wall, and the jade slave finally couldn't help but ask.

"Shh Xiao Ziling raised his index finger and whispered, "The moonlight is so good, let me enjoy the moon well, don't mention such a heavy topic......"

Originally, she wanted to invite Meng Hongyu to come on a boat trip to the lake, if he was invited, then only the two of them would have a drink under the moon at this time, and they had a good conversation. She hadn't sat down with Meng Hongyu under the lamp for many days and had a good conversation. Hey, men are really animals who can't resist temptation, and love is really just a beautiful legend......

Sighing softly, Xiao Ziling raised his wine glass and drank the thin wine in the glass. Then, she raised her glass, and the jade slave poured another glass of wine into it. Xiao Ziling held the wine glass, looked at the wine in the cup fixedly, and chanted leisurely: "When you sing about wine, life is geometric." For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. ”(1)

For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. The love between them, how can it not be like morning dew? The sun is dry. Now, she is about to leave, and she will definitely be "unforgettable" about him. However, that's all there is to it! No matter how unforgettable, she still has to leave after all, because the person she loves the most is still herself - since there is no one to love her, how can she not love herself well?

"Slave...... You can have a drink too......" Xiao Ziling handed the wine glass in his hand to Yunu, and said with a light smile, "Accompany me for a drink." ”

Yu Nu hurriedly closed the wine glass, took a sip of it stiffly, and then was choked and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "Miss...... How is this thin wine, so strong. ”

Xiao Ziling looked at her wrinkled eyebrows, and couldn't help giggling: "I just drank a small sip, how did I choke like this." ”

Maybe it was because Meng Hongyu was sad about his loveliness, or maybe it was because he was reluctant to leave soon, Xiao Ziling was so worried that he couldn't help but pour himself a few more glasses, and he seemed to be a little drunk. She supported herself with her hands and staggered to her feet, but she heard a muffled "plop" sound, as if something had fallen into the lake.

Xiao Ziling looked down and saw that the jade butterfly pinned to her waist was gone, it was the jade butterfly that Meng Hongyu gave her, she originally planned to wear it on her body for the rest of her life! Fang Cai, it must have been the jade butterfly that fell into the lake!

"Ahh My jade butterfly fell into the lake. Xiao Ziling shouted anxiously, "This is a gift from the emperor!" ”

She turned anxiously and looked down at the side of the boat, perhaps because she had drunk too much, and her body was unsteady, and suddenly she shook, and the whole boat shook violently. Yu Nu looked at Xiao Ziling's swaying body, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly stood up and wanted to support Ziling.

However, the jade slave forgot that this was on a rickety narrow flat boat, not on land! She stood up suddenly and stretched out her hand to support Ziling, but who knows, the ship's center of gravity was unstable for a while, and it shook even more. I saw that Xiao Ziling's body shook and fell into the lake with a "plop", causing a splash.

The splash from the lake was so big that Yunu was drenched all over her body, and the water ran down her hair and onto her face, blurring her vision. She was startled, and quickly wiped the lake in front of her, only to see Xiao Ziling struggling in the lake for a few moments, and then about to sink into the lake.

Before the jade slave had time to scream, the big boat behind him heard the sound and was already galloping, and as soon as he approached, he heard the jade slave's heart-rending cry: "Come on, help...... Help me! Mother fell into the lake...... Someone's coming......"

Several water-aware boatmen hurriedly jumped into the lake "plopping, plopping", and hurriedly dived into the lake to find people......

Yu Nu carefully lay on the side of the boat with a heart, crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and tears were falling like rain on her delicate little face, and tears flowed - Miss, you must do something else! If something really happens to you, the slave doesn't want to live......

However, I saw the boatman who dived into the lake to save people occasionally come out to breathe, but he didn't see the figure that Yu Nu was most worried about. The heart of the jade slave, like Xiao Ziling's body, sank into the West Lake little by little, cold, dark, and breathless......
