Ten miles of lotus pond outside Qinghe County, opposite is River Town. Ten years ago, River Town was not taken seriously, and it was not until the appearance of a store and a person that Qinghe County paid attention to River Town. This shop, called "Juxian Building", is full of beautiful girls, even if it is a fire and miscellaneous work, it is so clever that people covet it. This person, named Zhu Yun and whose name is Pengjun, is the first civil and military talent from Qinghe County.

The summer is scorching, the breeze is blowing, and the water waves of the lotus pond are slight. The girl on the boat was cute, she smiled slightly, revealing her white glutinous rice teeth, and the light veil around her waist also floated in the wind. She let the boat drift with the waves, picking lotus flowers and peeling lotus seeds, until the boat drifted under the crooked arch bridge, she got up and looked at the young man on the bridge.

"Peng Jun, I've kept you waiting!"

"Qing'er, can I get on the boat?"

"This boat can only seat two people," she whispered, blushing, "This empty seat is reserved for you." ”

Zhu Yun pursed his lips and smiled, got up, jumped off the arched bridge, and when he landed on the boat, the boat did not shake. Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he can control his strength freely, and he jumped from the bridge to the boat without letting the boat sway from side to side. He moved gracefully, bent over with his sleeves brushed up, and sat down gently.

"Qing'er, I will go to Beijing to take the exam soon. ”

She let out a "hmm", and her reluctance was not expressed.

"I have been dredged in Lingzun, and when I am in high school, it will be the day I marry you. ”

"Hmm!" was full of happiness in the faint voice.

"But I don't know how long it will take to go. He sighed, "Ten miles of lotus pond, Xia Se is merciful, Yi people are in the boat, I send my heart to the lotus moon, and send Yi favors with the wind." ”

"I look at Lang Cai's heart, and no one knows about the loneliness at night. ”

Zhu Yun heard Qing'er's lovesickness. When he leaves, Qing'er will inevitably be lonely whenever he thinks about it. So, he gently stroked Qing'er's cheek, and his voice was very delicate, "I remember you in my heart, no matter where I am!" He took out half a piece of jade from his arms, put it in Qing'er's hand, and held her hand tightly, "This stone remembers my lovesickness, which has long been warmed by my heart, may it accompany you as if I were by your side." ”

She held the jade, which was as hard as her friendship with Zhu Yun. She pondered for a moment and whispered, "I'm afraid you'll blame me in the future!" ”

"How so? never!"

"Your father said that your children are long, and he is afraid that he will delay his career. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I didn't think about Confucius and Meng, but I thought about my contemptible girl, and when I fell off the list, I was afraid that I would be angry with me. ”

Zhu Yun laughed, smiled cheerfully, smiled thoughtfully, and Qing'er's Yousi dissipated in this laughter. He said: "Qing'er, in my heart, you are more important than Confucius and Mencius! Do you remember when Master punished me for copying the Tao Sutra ten times?"

She nodded and said with a smile: "Remember, when you were twelve years old, you had to prepare for the township exam, but you accompanied me on a boat, and when you missed class, my husband scolded you, and he was angry with me, saying that I delayed your talent." ”

"I said to Master at that time, my heart is in the lotus pond, not in the economy. Zhu Yun hugged Qing'er into his arms, "From then on, I just want to protect you." Just because you are in the lotus pond, my heart is in the lotus pond, and if you are far away, my heart is in the distance. ”

The summer color is sultry, and the lovers in the lotus pond are nestled together and immersed in happiness and sweetness. On the distant riverbank, the jealous glared angrily. Huang Lang and Zhu Yun were originally from the same village, studied in the same class, and worshiped under the same martial artist. Although the two don't have much contact, they don't have any suspicions. Later, Huang Lang conceited his skills and challenged his master to injure him, but was defeated by Zhu Yun, and he has held a grudge against Zhu Yun since then. Two years ago, he had feelings for Li Zhiqing, Li Xiangcai's only daughter, but he also knew that Qing'er and Zhu Yun were like-minded. From then on, he couldn't tolerate Zhu Yun even more in his eyes.

"You go and make arrangements," Huang Lang said to the big man behind him: "I want Zhu Pengjun to go and never return." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

"Bring back another man's head, and ask him to be in a different place. He glanced at the lotus pond again, and the scenery of the lotus pond was particularly beautiful in the sun. He said: "Since this lotus pond is the place where they are married, then I will let him sink here forever." With these ten miles of lotus pond as a tomb, it is not in vain for Zhu Pengjun to be a talented man in the lotus pond!"

"Yes," Dahan paused again: "Isn't the young master going to catch the exam? You are full of wealth, literary and martial arts, and fine music, this kind of talent, may not be able to go to high school." ”

Huang Lang snorted, glared at his subordinates, and said indignantly: "I have self-knowledge! Don't let me hear the words of the whiskers and slapping the horse again!

"Understood," the big man hurriedly bowed his head and said "no". In his eyes, the young master is really inviolable, and he must be loyal to him and be in awe of him.

After a while, Dahan said again: "Young master, this Zhu Yun is strong in martial arts, I'm afraid that if I am not an opponent, I can't kill him." ”

"The people from Juxian Tower will help," the corners of Huang Lang's mouth rose slightly, but it wasn't a smile.

There was a wisp of fragrance wafting from the Juxian Building, mixed with a slight fragrance of vegetables. There is a faint sense of mystery in the curtains. The girl in pink brought a bowl of lotus leaf porridge into the curtain, and the young woman inside stretched out her hand and took the lotus leaf porridge, but after only one sip, she was angry and knocked the bowl to the ground, and then a sharp voice came from inside.

"The old lady raised you for nothing, fooling me with this brute. You have seven or eight female chefs under your name, and you can't even make a bowl of porridge. ”

"Palace Master," the girl's voice trembled, "this is indeed a man's ......"

"Before the old lady attained enlightenment, she tasted all things, and this taste is not clear?" she gasped, as if she was seriously ill, and after a sigh, her voice became gentle, so gentle that people listened to it, "Daughter! I heard that there is a son-in-law named Huang Lang who is your sweetheart, right? I want to see how he is born, and he can charm my daughter!"

"Palace Master, don't!" The girl was threatened and immediately knelt on the ground, "Please don't hurt Huang Lang!"

"Daughter, don't worry, I won't hurt him. But you've got to be smart!"

The girl in pink withdrew from the curtain, came downstairs, and hurriedly walked to the back hall, crossed the corridor, and came to the backyard. There was a row of girls standing in the backyard, and they all bowed their heads and were silent when they saw everyone coming. The pink-clad girl glanced at it, fixing her gaze on the second girl.

"Wen Niang, this month's lotus leaf porridge belongs to you?"

Wen Niang didn't say anything, just stood timidly.

She glared angrily, "Give you three days, make another bowl, and if you don't do it well, I'll send you back." ”

"Please," Wen Niang fell to her knees and said tremblingly: "Please, young palace master, I won't go back to the Dragon Underground Palace." ”

"Then make lotus leaf porridge within three days. ”

"The main body of the young palace forgives, this bowl of lotus leaf porridge will take at least half a month to be ready, how can it be done in three days? ”

"Okay, you go and do something for me, I'll help you with this lotus leaf porridge. ”
