"If you deserve the help of the country, how can there be poetry if you don't go to Xiaoxiang. "Xiaoshui comes to the south, Xiangjiang goes to the east, and brings together the ancient city of Lingling. Yongzhou is located at the confluence of Xiao and Hunan waters, so it is called "Xiaoxiang".

It is said that in the first year of Tang Yongzhen, there was a famous beauty in Yongzhou, that was the daughter of Jiang Yongchen, the assassin of Yongzhou, Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue was born beautiful when she was young, bright and beautiful, every time she frolicked in the garden with the maid, there were butterflies swirling around her, like the fragrance on her body.

When Jiang Xue grows up, she will be even more beautiful and beautiful. If you want to say how beautiful the heavenly immortals are, no one has ever seen them, but every time Jiang Xue appears on the street of Yongzhou, from a distance, it looks like a statue carved from white jade.

The people of Yongzhou stood on the road and watched the beauties blankly, to the point that the alleys were empty. So when Jiang Xue was sixteen years old, Jiang Yongchen forbade his daughter to go out, and ordered guards to be strictly guarded outside the mansion to prevent the children from coming to spy over the wall. treats her daughter like a pearl baby, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, and holding it in her hand for fear of falling.

To say that Jiang Xuemei is extremely beautiful, but there is only one point, she is like an iceberg beauty, her face is like frost all day long, and she rarely smiles. For this reason, Jiang Yongchen was also worried and had nothing to do.

It just so happens that the remnant of winter has passed, and it is new and will enter the Yuan Festival. On the 11th, the streets and alleys of the people's doors, all built a lantern shed, and the rest of the merchants called the strange craftsmen to build a colorful lantern tower, pretending to be the story of the eight immortals and the queen mother's peach. By the thirteenth, most of the decorations had been completed, and the streets were shouting, so it was not lively.

On the night of the fifteenth, the governor's yamen issued keys to the officials who patrolled the city, and opened the gates of the four directions at the second watch. This night, Jiang Yongchen drove a carriage and took his daughter Jiang Xue out to watch the lanterns and play.

The sky is clear, the moon and stars are scarce, and they shine like day. Today is another good day, and I can only hear the drum music on the street, the voices of people, and the lights all over the street, as if the world has changed.

Jiang Xue sat in the car, through the curtain, saw the bright moon outside, the gongs and drums were in the sky, and the sheng song was full of ears, her heart was inexplicably gloomy, and she sighed faintly. Jiang Yongchen saw that his daughter in the car was sullen and unhappy, pointing to this and that, and changing the law to make her happy.

Not far ahead is the "Wufeng Tower", which is the industry of Tu Xiangmin, the richest man in Yongzhou. I saw that in front of the building set up a mountain of colored lanterns, there are six zhang high, all are tied with five-colored satin, the top is made of glazed tiles, all sides are made of marble, a golden dragon lantern is hung in the middle, the dragon scales are tied with gold beads, there is a pair of long couplets hanging on both sides, the left is "Jincheng receives three thousand worlds", the right is "the twelfth floor of the people drunk spring breeze", eight red lanterns hang down from the top of each four.

Jiang Yongchen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this beautiful scenery: "The spring light is mostly in the smoke and rain, and the Fanghua Wufeng Tower." Just look at the red light of the family's house, and the song and swallow dance of the warbler are more romantic!"

It is said that Jiang Yongchen accompanied his daughter Jiang Xue to sit in the car, and there were sergeants guarding him in front and behind, prohibiting the people from approaching and making noise. At the time of the third watch, there were more men and women, old and young, looking at the lights, more than before, and they were crowded, and the car had to stop at a hall.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, lifting the curtain of the car, Jiang Xue looked out casually, and happened to meet a gray-clothed man on the side of the road.

The man in gray held a silk lamp in his hand, and was guessing a riddle to himself, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a young girl sitting in a sedan chair, beautiful and abnormal, her snow-white skin was as transparent as crystal under the lamp, but her complexion was cold, naturally revealing a condescending nobility.

I know in my heart that it is the daughter of the Jiang Thorn Historian, and I am not shallow in my fortune, and I can see her stunning beauty here tonight, and in an instant, my heart is rippling, and my heart beats violently, and I can't help but inscribe a poem on the lamp, and hold it up to her: "The moonlight lamp mountain is full of Xiaoxiang, and the incense car treasure covers the Qutang." The face of the peerless alluring beauty, the bright eyes of the autumn water shoot the cold river. ”

Jiang Xue saw that he was in his early twenties, with a handsome demeanor, a graceful bearing, beautiful handwriting on the lamp, and a fresh handwriting, and even praised his appearance in the poem, and there was three points of joy in his heart, and he unconsciously pulled the curtain up slightly.

When the man saw the whole picture of Jiang Xue, his blood surged for a while, his mind was blank and dizzy, and his breathing became more and more short, and he wrote on the other side of the silk lantern again: "The pear blossom white snow is light and frosty, and the good wind brings the pearl and green fragrance." It is suspected that Furong is warm in three springs, and Chang'e is on one side in the month. ”

Jiang Xue saw that he compared himself to Chang'e, and her heart became more and more happy, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly to show her approval.

The man suddenly saw her smile, and suddenly felt that the bones in his whole body were fluttering, his throat was dry, his cheeks were hot, and his courage gradually increased, and he waved his hand on the side of the lamp: "Yuyu Qionglou is shaded, and I go to Cuilou to Fu Yaoqin alone." Morning Glory and Weaver Girl begging for a night, who will relieve the virgin heart of Fang's soul?"

Jiang Xue's face turned red, a faint flush was covered on her crystal cheeks, and her heart was like a deer, she was both shy and expectant, but she couldn't help but look at it again.

The man saw her ruddy cherry lips closed one by one, her expression was resentful, and she smiled and smiled, and she was about to write again, when she suddenly came to her senses, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself, her face was full of shame, she shook her head, and wrote down: "The good night of the Yuan Dynasty has been three watches, and the moonlit night meets to comfort Pingsheng." Longxing Temple next to the lake in the guest, the humble house cold window name Dong Weng. With that, he threw away his pen, turned around and disappeared into the crowd with the yarn lamp.

When Jiang Xue saw him leaving, she suddenly felt lost in her heart. When I returned home, I had no intention of tea and dinner, and my mind was full of the talented young man.

Jiang Yongchen wanted to take his daughter to watch the lights and relax, but he didn't expect that he would look depressed after returning home, and when he was in a hurry, Jiang Xue suddenly proposed to go to the lake next to Longxing Temple to play. Jiang Yongchen had long been interested in choosing a good family for his daughter, so he readily agreed.

The news spread. The aristocratic sons in the city heard that the first beauty in Yongzhou was going to play on the lake tomorrow, so they rushed to load the big boat overnight, and wanted to win the first place in the comparison on the second day and capture the hearts of the beauties.

This morning, on the lake, which was originally plain white and the birds were exhausted, suddenly sang everywhere. Lanterns decorate the untouched lake in winter.

I saw hundreds of boats on the water, some large and some small, coming and going slowly, and the boats were full of gauze tents and silk lanterns.

Jiang Xue and her father Jiang Yongchen sat on an official ship, her slender body was wrapped in a white coat, and there was a stove standing beside her, with wine warm on the stove, and Jiang Yongchen was holding a cup in his hand and looking around with a smile.

Seeing that the stories of the characters are outlined in color ink on the flower boats, some are the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and some are Chang'e running to the moon. There are also some boats with silk tied into moonflower fish and geese, the middle is lit with an oil lamp, made into the pattern of "closing the moon and shy flowers, sinking fish and falling geese", the idea is exquisite, and the ingenuity is extremely ingenious.

I saw hundreds of pleasure boats shuttling back and forth, carrying literati and high-rollers, famous sons.

Surrounded by flowers, the left and right sides are suddenly separated, revealing a golden and brilliant big ship, the stern is towering, the shape is gorgeous, and there is a boy in brocade clothes sitting on the boat, holding a folding fan, and his demeanor is chic.

Jiang Yongchen pointed out to Jiang Xue: "Xue'er, this is the eldest son of your Uncle Tu's family, Tu Hao." ”

The official boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake, only to see that the center of the lake was lit up, and when it approached, the sound of the silk bamboo flute pipe did not live on the water surface.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums sounded, and the boats and bamboos breathed together. A firework shot into the sky like a meteor, shining brilliantly, and then snorted, fell into the lake, at this time, the lights and shadows, the sound of oars echoed, flashing a big white sail boat.

The sound of whimpering flutes came into my ears, and I saw a man in white standing on the bow of the boat, with a long jade body, and a pipe of purple Xiao was playing in his mouth.

Jiang Yongchen said with a smile: "This is the son of Lord You's family, his name is guarded, and his words are idle. ”

Jiang Xue was feeling bored, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she saw a flat boat in the distance. The boat floated slowly on the surface of the lake like a leaf in the distance.

The man on the boat tapped his head and sailed against the current. When I got closer, I saw Zhouzi dressed in a lily robe and a fisherman.

Jiang Xue got up slowly, and looked at the man on the boat with a pair of wonderful eyes. Everyone noticed that Jiang Xue's expression was different, and they all went over there to look, and then bursts of mockery continued to sound in all directions:

"What's that?"

"Where did this man come from?"

"How could such a vulgar man come to such an elegant place!"

"It's okay, it's just a fisherman. ”

......

Bian Zhou was closer, and Jiang Xue saw that the person who came was really Dong Weng who she saw that night, Sakura smiled and waved her hand at him vigorously. Jiang Yongchen's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but get up in a daze.

The boat sailed to the side of the big boat, Dong Weng smiled and stretched out his hand, Jiang Xue also smiled and stretched out a slender jade hand, let him hold it.

The eyes of everyone on the lake were about to pop out, and everyone stared blankly at everything in front of them, unable to recover from the shock. They really didn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe that what was happening in front of them was true.

I saw Dong Weng carefully carry her to the boat, kowtow to Jiang Yongchen: "Meet Lord Jiang, the villain's surname is Dong, his name is Weng, and his name is Hanlin." ”

Jiang Yongchen saw that this young man named Dong Weng had an extraordinary appearance and good manners, and thought to himself, "Is this the will of heaven?" exhaled, turned his hand behind his back and nodded, as a sign of acquiescence.

Dong Weng was overjoyed and bowed to Jiang Yongchen again.

From time to time, there was a court official who lived in Yongzhou, temporarily lived in Longxing Temple, happened to see this scene by the lake, suddenly felt something, and wrote a famous sentence at the bottom of his sleeve: "Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." ”
