Chapter 62: A Poem

"Sixue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Hong Sixue's miserable white face, Peng Wuwang felt palpitations for a while.

"What's wrong with me?" Hong Sixue repeated Peng Hopeless's question in a distracted manner, revealing a strange smile.

"Sixue, you, what are you laughing at?" Seeing her smile, Peng Wuwang felt uncomfortable in his heart as if he was about to twist his heart over. "Strange, why am I so uncomfortable? Why does my heart hurt so much? But she's laughing." Peng Wuwang thought in horror.

"What am I laughing at?" Hong Sixue pressed her forehead fiercely with her hand, and said in a trance, "I'm laughing, it's you who I'm laughing at."

"Me?" Peng Wuwang touched his face, at a loss.

"I thought that Brother Peng was a hero, but he was an extraordinary person, a man who acted brightly and fairly, and was different. Now it sounds, ha, you are just a lustful and boring person, just like that street disciple." Hong Sixue shook her head vigorously to hide her secret action of wiping away her tears, "I, how can I not laugh."

"I'm a greedy and lustful person," Peng Wuwang frowned and said a little angrily, "Sixue, although I don't act very differently, I have always been frank and open-minded, how can I say so."

"Let me ask you, do you know who she is?" Hong Sixue asked.

"This, I only heard that it is the owner of the Divine Soldier Villa, but where is the Divine Soldier Villa, I ...... I really don't know." Peng said hopelessly.

Seeing Peng Wuhope's dejected expression, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, and she asked eagerly, "So, do you know how she acts? What do you like? What about conduct?"

Peng Wuwang's eyes were confused for a while, he sighed, and said, "I,...... I don't really know. At the time, I just thought that since she looked like this, she should not be far behind. I...... When I saw her appearance, I liked her very much, and unconsciously walked up to her and said that I would hire her. Am I being reckless?"

"Humph! Judging people by their appearance is reckless enough, and it is not unusual if there is any stupidity." Hong Sixue said gloomily.

"Am I really wrong, alas, how is this good, she has already allowed me to be hired at her Excalibur Villa in the future. I'm so reckless." Peng Wuwang said at a loss as if he had just woken up from a big dream.

"Is that so?" Hong Sixue exclaimed. "Is there really such a thing as love at first sight?" She thought about it secretly, only to feel a burst of discouragement and let out a long sigh.

"That's true, she said that when I have enough ten thousand taels of gold, I can go to Shenjian Mountain Villa to be hired." Peng said hopelessly.

Hong Sixue raised her head suddenly, stared at his face blankly, and said nothing.

"How is that good?" Peng Wuwang still said vigorously, "Sixue, what you said is like an initiation, and my whole person has only come to his senses now. All I am obsessed with is her beauty, and I don't know anything else. Since ancient times, there have been so-called femme fatales who turn sentient beings upside down with their appearance. The second brother also often taught me and the fourth brother not to judge people by their appearance. If she has any plans against me, I will not escape the poison in a trance. Alas, I can't imagine that I, Peng, have no hope of pretending to be a hero, but I am fascinated by beauty, and I have done such a stupid deed, which is tiring to myself and harming others, and I will leave a lot of trouble." After that, he rubbed his hands again and again, sighing.

Seeing Hong Sixue looking at him in a daze, Peng Wuwang was even more anxious, and said repeatedly, "Sixue, this wood is already in the boat. How can I be good. If this woman is a vicious, selfish, unreasonable, arrogant, arrogant person, how should I behave myself? Sixue, you are a hundred times smarter than me, quickly think of a way for me."

"What is the boat? What are you talking about?" Hong Sixue suddenly giggled, "You're such a fool. What a fool in the world." After saying this, Hong Sixue laughed and untied the red turban wrapped around her head, shook her hand and threw it into the sky, her body spun, and the laughter like silver bells echoed on the Yangtze River.

Peng Wuwang was stunned to see her dancing in the wind, as well as the red scarf fluttering in the sky, and was stunned for a while.

Hong Sixue looked up to the sky and laughed, her mood was very comfortable, and after a long time, she gradually suppressed her laughter, turned her head to look at Peng Wuwang, and said with a smile: "Brother Peng, do you know how long it will take to earn ten thousand taels of gold. It is the most profitable business in the world, and it takes ten years to be able to earn thousands of dollars a year, not counting the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation. If it is an ordinary family, even if it is your dart line, I am afraid that it will earn hundreds of years. The words that the girl threw at you are to make you absolutely delusional. It's a shame that you talked so much that you almost bluffed me."

"Oh," Peng Wuwang patted his head with a wry smile and sighed, "I'm so stupid as a pig, I should have thought of it at the time. It's a pity that I looked at her peerless face, and I got carried away for a while, only feeling that everything can be done, but I don't know that I am neither handsome and chic, nor a literary and elegant person. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."

After that, I thought of the face of the splendid princess on the shore of Dongting Lake, and the unforgettable feeling I felt when I first saw her, and my heart was gloomy: It turns out that I Peng has no hope and no chance to be so lucky. He thought about it again: Peng Wuwang, Peng Wuwang, you have learned a lot of cooking skills, but also a good martial arts, and you can go out to help the world and fight for righteousness, and you can clear the enmity and hatred for your family inside, the master and brother are all admired by everyone, and the companions and brothers are the world's talents, and most of the happiness in life has been obtained, even if you can't marry the person you like in your life, it is also common. How can you be greedy and not enough, and you can look forward to Shu. Thinking about it, he looked up to the sky and smiled, and said to Hong Sixue, "I don't have this blessing, or not. Hahaha."

Hong Sixue looked at Peng's hopeless smiling face, but felt compassion in her heart, and asked with concern, "Brother Peng, are you okay?"

Peng Wuwang smiled and said, "Sixue don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I can't marry such a beautiful wife, and I have a trace of regret in my heart. It seems that if I want to marry a wife, I need to listen to Si Xue's advice."

Si Xue's face turned red, and she whispered, "Brother Peng made fun of me, how can I do what I said accurately."

Peng Wuwang looked straight and said, "No. Sixue, you and I hit it off at first sight, like brothers and sisters, even if you are in the same family, but I sincerely admire your heroic style and heroism for chivalry and disregard for your own body, and I want to marry you as brothers and sisters with different surnames, I don't know if I can climb high?"

Hong Sixue's heart was shocked: Didn't he ever treat me as someone who could fall in love. In a sad mood, she looked at Peng Wuwang deeply, only to see him glaring at her expectantly, suffering from gains and losses, and seemed very sincere.

"Although he is heroic, he is still innocent and flawless when it comes to love. He doesn't understand my mind." Hong Sixue smiled bitterly, "But my heart is already full of his shadow, if I can stay by his side for a long time, I will be nameless and happy." What's more, I can still hear him call me a righteous sister, God has treated me well, what more can I ask for."

"Sixue, how's that?" Peng Wuwang saw that Hong Sixue hesitated to answer, thinking that she disliked herself, and her heart was even more panicked.

"Okay." Hong Sixue smiled faintly and said.

"Okay, great." Peng Wuwang stood up abruptly and said, "How about we bow down."

Hong Sixue smiled weakly and said, "No need, the worship is in your heart, and all the rituals are secondary, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it. It is enough for you and me to understand in our hearts."

Peng Wuwang smiled and said, "Sixue is very free and easy, how can I, Peng Wuhope, be vulgar, okay, it's decided." I'm twenty-one this year, and I want to be older than you."

Hong Sixue shook her head and sighed, "I'm twenty years old this year, so I'll call you Brother Peng."

Peng Wuwang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay, God treats me so well, I have a righteous sister today."

At this moment, a flat boat slowly floated on the river, and a Confucian scholar stood on the boat, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a double star, a crown and a broad belt, a white shirt with long sleeves, clothes fluttering, standing in the wind, its shape was like a fairy, and on his left hand, he was holding the red turban thrown out by Hong Sixue in the wind.

"Brother Tai who put the boat in front, Xiaosheng is disturbed." The clear voice came in the evening breeze.

Hearing this clear and upright voice, Peng Wuwang first had a good impression in his heart, got up and raised his voice, "Sir is polite, I don't know what to advise." The Confucian laughed loudly and said, "Tonight the moon is as bright as a mirror, the evening breeze is gentle, and the riverside is colorful, it is a good day to enjoy the scenery. The fragrance of the wine in Brother Tai is overflowing, and it comes with the wind, which makes the little greedy worm move. Xiao Sheng is willing to offer a jar of good wine, can you exchange it for some tasting?"

Peng Wuwang was very happy, and said, "Brother Tai is dressed like this, I think he is a scholar, I don't know if he is willing to get together with us at a table and enjoy the scenery together." Hong Sixue looked at Peng Wuwang, smiled, and did not speak.

"Wonderful, wonderful. I don't dare to ask for it." The Confucian scholar was overjoyed, picked up a jar of wine, and turned back to urge the boatman to speed up the rocking. When his light boat came to the boat where Peng Wuwang and Hong Sixue were riding, he picked up the wine jar, hesitantly raised his foot, and wanted to step over, but the river shook gently, making him unstable and swaying left and right.

Hong Sixue smiled slightly, shook her hand, and the flying eagle whip rose like a red rainbow through the sky, came to the waist of Confucian in the blink of an eye, and tied it up a few times in a row. Then she pulled hard, and the Confucian body flew up with the long whip lightly, landing steadily opposite Peng Wuhope. Hong Sixue trembled her hand again, and the long whip took off from Confucius's waist like a spiritual snake, returned to Hong Sixue as if she had eyes, and neatly tied back to Hong Sixue's slender waist.

The Confucian student's face was full of surprise and admiration, and he took a deep look at Hong Sixue and said, "The girl is so good at kung fu that it has opened Xiaosheng's eyes." Peng Wuwang looked at Hong Sixue, raised his big fingers, and his face was full of admiration. Hong Sixue glanced at Peng Wuwang and said to Confucius, "Mr. has won the award." Confucian Sheng looked at Peng Hong and the others a few times, and said, "Brother and sister Ling are not chivalrous men who walk the rivers and lakes."

Peng Wuwang slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Sir, how do you know that we are brother and sister, ha, is it that we don't look alike."

The Confucian Sheng looked at his face, then at Hong Sixue, coughed dryly, and said, "This, the appearance is secondary, but the brother and sister have a kind of heroic arrogance, which makes Xiao Sheng involuntarily make this conjecture."

Hong Sixue looked at Peng Wuhope, and secretly smiled bitterly in her heart. Peng Wuwang had already laughed: "Scholars are indeed different. The gaze is really sharp. That's right, we are not only brothers and sisters, but also knights who walk the rivers and lakes, hahaha."

Confucius hurriedly smiled and said, "That's really a blessing. Xiaosheng Zhang Fang, if the words are empty, he is a person from Jiangdu."

Peng Wuwang reported the names of himself and Hong Sixue, and then said with a smile: "You are also called Zhang Fang, what a coincidence, I know a brother who walks the rivers and lakes, also named Zhang Fang."

Confucian Sheng was taken aback and said happily: "There is a chivalrous man with the same name as me, and I invited him out that day, so I can get acquainted."

Peng Wuwang's expression darkened, and he said, "That brother has passed away."

Confucius sighed: "That's really a pity, I can only blame each other for being late, and this encounter is missing."

Hong Sixue smiled indifferently and said, "The people of the rivers and lakes are dead, and that is very usual. It should be like this, sir."

Confucian Sheng glanced at Hong Sixue deeply and said, "The girl is so free and easy, my generation of men can only be ashamed." After saying that, he gave a salute to Hong Sixue, raised her red turban in her hand, and said, "The girl danced in the wind, her hair flew up, and the turban went away with the wind, just floating on my hand. Please take it back."

Hong Sixue smiled slightly, took the headscarf, and said, "Time is impermanent, even the people of your loved ones are also scattered, and there is no need to be attached to some things outside the body." With a shake of his hand, the red turban floated away in the wind again.

Peng Wuwang clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, my sister's move has won my heart, haha, happy, come, drink to win."

Zhang Fang couldn't help but feel deeply heartbroken by the bold demeanor of these sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and even raised his glass to invite him, and didn't even glance at the snacks he coveted.

After three rounds of drinking, Peng Wuwang sighed, looked around at the surrounding scenery, and said loudly, "It's great to meet Mr. tonight. Peng is a rough man, although he is intoxicated by the scenery tonight, he can't say why. Sir is a scholar, I wonder if I can sing the scenery of tonight, so that we can remember it often in the future."

Zhang Fang stared at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, smiling silently, as if he was in deep thought.

Hong Sixue smiled and said, "Your second brother is both civil and military, didn't he teach you to read?"

Peng Wuwang smiled bitterly and said, "Not only second brother, when my master taught me the sword technique, he also asked me to read books and chant some poems, saying that it was so that it was easy to understand the essence of the knife. I was as stupid as a cow at this way, and Master was very disappointed. On that day, Master asked me to recite a poem to Tianmu Mountain. I said it in one breath, and Master never let me touch the book again."

Hearing this, Zhang Fang and Hong Sixue became interested at the same time, and asked in unison, "Let's hear it."

Peng Wuhope's face turned red and said, "Don't laugh at me." The two of them said no.

"Actually, I think this poem has some meaning, but for some reason, Master just doesn't like it. Listen." Peng Wuwang stood up with great interest, faced the Yangtze River, and said loudly: "Tianmu Mountain is a big iron rod, with a sharp and thin seat and a wide bottom, if you can poke a hole in the sky, you can make a Jade Emperor to the world." He shook his head for a while.

Hong Sixue had just taken a sip of wine into her throat, and when she heard this chant, she hurriedly covered Shangsanlu with her hand, sprayed the wine into her sleeve, and turned her body away with a flushed face, pretending to enjoy the scenery.

Zhang put the wine in his hand back on the table with trembling hands, and after a long time of supporting the case, he said aloud: "Although Brother Peng's poem is a little sparse, it is very creative and has its own style. It's more novel than the words of us pedantic scholars."

Peng Wuwang laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, sir, for the compliment. It's a pity that Master is not here, otherwise hearing what Mr. said would have changed my opinion of me. Then, please ask the gentleman to make a poem to thank you for such a good night."

Zhang Fang felt the chivalrous spirit of Peng Hong and the others, stood up with a long body, stood on the bow of the boat, overlooked the moonlight scenery on the river, and fell into deep thought. At this time, it was nearly three watches, I don't know if it was because the air was too fresh, or the evening breeze was too lingering, the moonlight tonight was so bright, it made people feel a dazzling feeling. The fishing fire in the distance seemed to have dimmed, and the sound of the fishermen's women pounding their clothes by the river became silent. It seems that only the roaring sound of the tide of the river and the sea is left between heaven and earth.

The moonlight is smeared on the surrounding scenery like mercury, and the riverside is suspiciously covered with snow, and the water in the river is sparkling, as if the lights of the downtown city are gathered on the river. At the end of the horizon, the river is horizontal, and the waves and lights are gathered, like a silver thread connecting the heavens and the earth, floating and fluttering, changing like a god.

"The Yangtze River flows horizontally at the spring tide, and the Zhongtian Jade Rabbit has risen since then. The waves are thousands of miles, and the moon is bright with hundreds of rivers and rivers." Zhang Fang sighed in his heart, although this poem is good, it is still not enough to describe today's scene. He turned around and saw Peng Wuwang and Hong Sixue with blank faces, and hurriedly asked, "You two, I don't know what advice you have."

Peng Wuwang scratched his head and said, "Dare to ask sir, what is Jade Rabbit?" Why can't I see?"

Zhang Fang smiled and said, "Brother Peng, the jade rabbit refers to the bright moon in the sky."

Peng Wuwang suddenly realized and said, "I see, I have memorized my husband's poems by heart, and when I return home, I will definitely explain it to my fourth brother. But, hey, I always feel ......."

Zhang Fang hurriedly said, "Brother Peng, please speak directly, don't hesitate."

Peng Wuwang looked at Hong Sixue, who nodded thoughtfully and did not speak. He hesitated and said, "I can understand this poem, but I don't have a lot of spirit."

Zhang Fang frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

Peng Wuwang thought for a while and said, "We people who walk the rivers and lakes wander around every day, and every time we look at a landscape, we always think about what we will see after that. It's like seeing the Yangtze River will think of the East China Sea, and when you see Shushan, you will think of Chengdu. Today, when I put a boat on the river, I thought of the tide hundreds of miles away. The fact that there is not a single sea character mentioned in my poem, makes me feel lost."

Zhang was relieved and said, "If you chant about the scenery, it is natural to give priority to the close-up view. But Brother Peng's words are even higher."

Peng Wuwang saw him praise, and his heart was even more happy, and said, "It's better to do this, the first two sentences are changed to: The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises together. There is a tide and a sea, a river and a moon, it is really pleasant to listen to."

Hong Sixue smiled, nodded to Peng Wuwang, and said, "The following two sentences can be: Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river. The whole world is illuminated by the moonlight, compared to a hundred rivers and thousands of rivers, but what is it?"

Zhang Fang silently read it a few times, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, rushed to the table, raised the wine jar, poured half of the jar of fine wine into his stomach, shook his hand, threw the wine jar far into the river, laughed for a long time, and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Zhang has been immersed in poetry and literature all his life, and has never reached such a state, and today he has this good sentence, and he can be called no regrets in this life."

He rushed to the side of the boat and shouted at the light boat he was on: "Zhang Tong, bring pen and ink, hurry!"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy jumped onto the boat with his hands and feet, and quickly placed the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of Zhang Fang.

Before the child could polish the ink, Zhang Fang couldn't wait to grab the pen, wave it like a cloud of smoke, and quickly write on the paper.

The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together.

Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river.

The river flows like a circle around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail.

The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the court cannot be seen.

The river sky is colorless and dusty, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky.

Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year?

Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year.

I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.

The white clouds are gone, and the green maple is not worried.

Who's going to be in the boat tonight? Where is Acacia Moon Tower?

Poor upstairs wandering in the moon, should be taken away from the makeup mirror.

The jade curtain can't be rolled up, and the clothes are smashed and the anvil is returned.

At this time, we don't hear each other, and we are willing to shine on you month by month.

The wild goose flies long, and the fish and dragon dive into the water.

Last night's idle pool dream fell flowers, poor spring half did not return home.

The river flows to the end of spring, and the moon falls in the river and the lake slopes westward.

The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the stone Xiaoxiang is infinite.

I don't know how many people return to the moon, and the falling moon shakes the river trees.

After reading this poem, Peng Wuwang and Hong Sixue applauded in unison.

"It's a good sentence who first saw the moon on the river, and when did the river moon shine at the beginning of the year. What a wonderful question. I can't even answer if I think about it."

"Last night's idle pool dream fell into flowers, and the poor spring didn't return home. When I think of the woman of an ordinary fisherman's family, there is such sadness every night, how can I not feel it in my heart."

Zhang Fang read his poem aloud over and over again, looked up to the sky and smiled, took the poem scroll into his arms, and deeply shook Peng Hong and the others, and said, "If I hadn't met the virtuous brothers and sisters tonight, Xiaosheng would have asked himself if he would have had a chance to chant this poem in this life." Peng Hong and the two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time saluted.

Zhang Fang said with a smile: "Mortals write scenes, all have the bitter sigh of being poor in words, and now the poem is here, it has gone beyond tonight's scenery, I think this time God should also have the bitter sigh of being poor in the scene." Hahaha." After that, he bowed his hand to Peng Hong and the others and left.

Watching Zhang Fang's light boat pass away, Peng Wuwang smiled and said, "We are really lucky to meet such an interesting person tonight." Hong Sixue looked at him and said secretly in her heart, "I said that this person should be here for you and me." A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They don't know that a spring river flower moonlit night in the middle of the conversation and laughter in this Guazhou night was born, since the Tang Dynasty, the heroic turbulence, the infinite brilliance of tens of millions of poems, it was opened by this lonely poem in the poem. Like an opening salute flying into the sky, announcing that a gorgeous and unparalleled fireworks show will kick off the overture on the land of China.

And the person who lit the fire of this ceremonial flower stood on the light boat, looking at the white belly of the fish in the sky, silently waiting for the next day to come.
