The state bridge is a stone bridge, built in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, is the traffic artery across the Bianhe River, the original name of Bianzhou Bridge, the Song Dynasty changed its name to "Zhou Bridge", the official record is "Tianhan Bridge", facing the Ouchi Royal Street. Chu Yunfei and Mei Yingxue left Meixiang Xiaozhu and went straight to Zhouqiao. I saw the murmuring of the Bianhe River under the bridge, and the people on the bridge were weaving, which was really a prosperous scene.

Chu Yunfei stroked the railing carved from bluestone, and at the same time couldn't help frowning, three years ago today, this place should have been equally lively. Especially on moonlit nights, many people like to come here to admire the moon, and gradually formed one of the famous "Eight Views" of Bianliang, that is, "the bright moon of the State Bridge". Probably because of the unique scenery here, I don't know where to start, this has also become the best place for lovers to date, walking slowly along the banks of the river, saying moving love words, it has a unique charm. But who would have thought that someone would choose to commit suicide in this picturesque place?

But time can dilute everything, except for the loved ones, three years later, who would have thought that there was a young life here? It is still crowded with tourists, including young couples.

"Three years ago today, it should have been about the same as the weather is now." Mei Yingxue frowned and said, "This is the famous Zhouqiao Night Market, it's hard to imagine that the woman whose name is Huilan would choose to commit suicide here." But she did. It is said that the patrol who was patrolling the next morning found the body and then notified her family. At the time......"

Speaking of this, Mei Yingxue pointed not far to the west of the bridge, "At that time, her suicide note was placed there, pressed with a bluestone brick." People floated under the bridge. It's a shame to be so young...... Whether it's intentional suicide or homicide, it's always hard to accept. You've probably heard those rumors, right? ”

Chu Yunfei nodded, in fact, after any unfortunate thing happened, there were always some womanizers who made up those bizarre rumors: the rumor said that Miss Huilan was agreed to be martyred with her lover, but when she jumped into her hand and struggled, that lover fled; There is another theory that the deceased was dragged into the water by water spirits; What's even more bizarre is that she was bewitched by the spirits in the water, took the water as calm, and walked in...... All kinds of rumors have even covered up the reality. Chu Yunfei didn't know the deceased, but heard that it was a beautiful and frail woman. Maybe it's because they're too sensitive, so they choose to die in this way, right?

Chu Yunfei was about to say something more, but Mei Yingxue grabbed him and gestured to him with her eyes. I saw that on the east side of the stone bridge, a man in a purple robe was staring at the water in a daze. Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and a name flashed in his mind: Xiao Zhenfu! What is he doing here? Looking at his appearance, he did not bring any entourage, nor friends or relatives. What is he doing here?

"I remember Shuyu said that three years ago today, it was the day when the girl fell into the water. Why did he come here too? It won't be them...... Does it really matter, right? Because your heart is uneasy, you come here to worship the dead? Mei Yingxue asked with some confusion.

Mei Yingxue was too anxious. Chu Yunfei quickly made a judgment, he regretted a little that he let Mei Yingxue accompany him here. But looking at Xiao Zhenfu standing by the river with a heavy heart, he was also wondering if this was a coincidence or an inevitability? Or does he really have something to do with that Miss Whelan?

Chu Yunfei and Mei Yingxue glanced at each other, and the two of them walked towards Xiao Zhenfu in unison. If he really had anything to do with that Miss Whelan, then he must have behaved a little differently. To Chu Yunfei's surprise, he stood by the river and saw the two of them walking towards him, and he only smiled and nodded at them.

"How can Lord Xiao have the leisure to look at the scenery here?" Without waiting for Chu Yunfei to speak, Mei Yingxue spoke first.

Xiao Zhenfu arched his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Young Master Mei, Master Chu, how can it be so coincidental?" I pass by here almost every day, except for the rest of my day. On weekdays, I take a car or a sedan chair, and today it is rare to have such a good sunny day, so I came out for a walk. How could the two of you come here in such a classy way? ”

"We happened to be passing through here." Chu Yunfei spoke first, he felt that Mei Yingxue seemed to be a little out of breath, for fear that he would accidentally go straight in, which would make Xiao Zhenfu dissatisfied and even vigilant. And a trace of incomprehension flashed in Mei Yingxue's eyes, which also showed that his worries were not superfluous.

Xiao Zhenfu didn't seem to notice anything unusual, just looked at the river and said slowly: "'The end of the Sui Dynasty is this river, and it has been a thousand miles to the end. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit. ’”

"Pi Rixiu's "Bianhe Nostalgia", I can't imagine that adults will actually like his poems." Mei Yingxue answered curiously.

"Yes, it's an ancient poem by the Tang Dynasty Pi Rixiu. At present, the prosperity of our dynasty can be compared to the Tang Dynasty, but those people of insight in the court have also begun to worry about the world. At present, although our dynasty has made an alliance with the Liao people, the Liao people will not die if they swallow my heart. I've always been unprepared, and I'm really worried...... Hopefully, these worries are unnecessary. Xiao Zhenfu frowned and said lightly.

Chu Yunfei never thought that Xiao Zhenfu would have such feelings, but after thinking about it, it is no wonder. He is a rising star in the court, and his future is limitless, and it is very rare to worry about the world above the temple. He arched his hand towards Xiao Zhenfu and said, "Lord Xiao can have such a mind, it is really a blessing for the people of the world. ”

"Lord Chu has won the prize. I'm just an ordinary scholar, and thanks to the Holy Lord's appreciation, I can do something for the people. It's just that the power of the individual is too weak, and ...... Let's not talk about this, I hope that one day sooner, we can really sit back and relax. Both, I'll have to go. Xiao Zhenfu arched his hand again, saluted them, and turned to leave.

Mei Yingxue and Chu Yunfei didn't speak for a long time, until Xiao Zhenfu got on the state bridge and soon disappeared in the crowd, Mei Yingxue shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you think what he said before was inspired by feelings?" Or is it an excuse for yourself? ”

"Whatever the possibility, he's a little absent-minded." Chu Yunfei didn't know when a handkerchief appeared in his hand, and two butterflies were embroidered on it.

"Where did this come from?" Mei Yingxue looked at Chu Yunfei in surprise. "It can't be given to you by a young lady from any family, right? Now we're going to have to deal with it......"

Chu Yunfei shook his head with a little cry and laughter, "This fell from Xiao Zhenfu's body.
