Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ambush on All Sides
Vertical day, mid-autumn in August.
The sky will dawn, and the pothos and ink glass will be put on the table early, four dishes of side dishes, corn and yellow rice porridge. There is a dish of houttuynia cordata (folded ear root) in osmanthus nectar sauce, which is the most delicious with sweet and sour, crisp and tender.
Moli waited for Liu Nong to eat breakfast, Liu Nong ate three bowls, and looked outside.
In the courtyard, pothos is holding small wooden basins filled with clean water, and at night, each pot of water will be filled with a moon. At that time, young women began to play with the moon, chase the moon, and worship the moon, and there were many kinds of plays, such as throwing steps and shaking, throwing hairpins, fighting grass in the water moon, etc.; Chasing the moon is more interesting, each person holds a small moon, you chase me, I chase you, and after chasing it, you take something from each other as a gift; As for the moon sacrifice, it is generally related to marriage, and it is rumored that Ren Hongchang made a bizarre marriage because of the moon sacrifice, so he met Lu Wenhou......
The green pothos came into the room with a slim face, quietly rubbed her wrists, there were still beads of sweat oozing from the side of her nose, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, do you want to return at night?" ”
In Huating, the Mid-Autumn Festival is very lively every year, a group of warblers and warblers Yanyan from the beginning of August when the osmanthus is fragrant, they begin to look forward to and prepare, even Yang Shaoliu will occasionally play with them in the moon, Liu Nong is no exception.
Liu Nong thought about it for a while, and was afraid that he would come back too late tonight, so he smiled and said: "Each person will be rewarded with one tassel, and the two of you will add two more, you can bring a white robe to the city to buy some small things, and you don't have to treat me!" ”
"Yes, Xiao Langjun."
Mo Li was in charge of the money and food key, replied in a low voice, and glanced at the pothos opposite, and couldn't help frowning slightly; The pothos eyebrows are also slightly condensed, and the mouth is a small cherry, tender red.
Liu Nong stepped out of the room, and Laifu had prepared the ox cart and was welcoming it from the outside, followed by a white robe. Walk out of the courtyard. An ox cart came from the east end, and the front curtain was lifted, and Chu Li came out with a smile.
The two were about to set off.
"Moo!"
The green ox poked out a pair of corners from the willow road, pulled the gorgeous carriage and parked diagonally on the bank of the small bridge Qingxi, and the coachman lifted the curtain, and Xie Li leaned out half of his body. Beckoning and smiling: "Zhan Zhen, let's go together!" ”
"I've seen the teacher!"
"I've seen Mr. Youru!"
The two hurriedly crossed the small bridge and stepped forward to salute, Liu Nong's eyes swept away, only to see that behind Xie Di's car, there were still more than ten ox carts, and Yuan Tan and Xie Yi were sitting in the car and laughing silently.
Xie Pei was old and respectful, and Liu Nong and Chu Pei respectfully waited for him to go first before they each stepped on the ox cart. The two compartments are slowly gathered in one place.
The mighty ox cart procession passed through the city, and there were ox carts driving out from all directions in the city. By the time they left the city, the team became larger and larger, and if they looked down from above, they dragged for nearly half a mile, like a swimming dragon. There are many people who know each other. Xiao Ran, Huan Wen, and Zhang Mai are listed one by one. It seems that it is really as Xie Yi said, but all the children of the family are going.
And take a closer look, there are a lot of girls in the team, slightly holding the embroidered curtain, and the jade fingers are slender and pinching the small fan, skillfully covering half of their faces. Shallow eyes like water, like looking forward to it. Seeing Meilangjun, he was not timid at all, but smiled, extremely beautiful and enchanting. San'in Girl. It's really different from Wu County!
Thirty miles southwest of the city, the mountains and green mountains are handsome in the eyes. The car goes down the mountain, and the dense forest cultivates bamboo in rows like a wall. Walking around the bamboo, the blue quiet lake is tiled like a mirror, and half of this mountain is originally in the lake, stretching into the state.
There is a village on the state, and the cornices are warped.
At this time, in the light smoke of the lake, dozens of boats broke through the fog, just like willow leaves, floating on the water with dots. Everyone abandoned the car and sailed, riding the lake breeze lightly, Liu Nong was with Xie Yi and others.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance.
There is a waterfall in the green mountain, if the curtain hangs upside down; Clear stream torrent end stone, reflecting the left and right. Yue Wang Goujian once planted orchids here, and then set up a translation pavilion in the Han Dynasty, so it was named Lanting. The manor under the mountain is owned by the Langya Wang family, and the mid-autumn of the year is elegant, and the four major valves of Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao take turns to preside, and this year it is the turn of the Wang family. This time, however, it took a long time, and the various ways of doing it were different from the past.
According to Xie Yiyan, except for Qu Shui Liuzhen, which is the final improvisational poem, the rest of the items have five categories, namely music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and debate. Due to the large number of people and the difficulty of distinguishing for a while, it is necessary to register at Xie Yi's office in advance to participate, and Xie Yi has signed up for Liu Nong.
Liu Nong said in his heart: It's a bit like a competition! Chess is not to say, if there is no level of saint like Qiao Yousi, it is difficult to climb to the sky; Calligraphy is not my forte, I'm afraid that Wang Xizhi will win the first prize! Let's talk about the art of painting, alas...... Even Shu Yao is stronger than me, I don't know how much. In this way, only rhythm and argument are desirable, and there are only two left, which is self-serving!
On the side of the willow, everyone got off the boat one after another.
Liu Nong saw that Xie Pei happened to be not far in front, so he hurried to catch up and said that he only wanted to participate in the music and debate.
Xie Qi said with a smile: "Zhan Zhen, why did you abandon calligraphy, painting and chess?" ”
Liu Nong waved his hand and said: "Back to the teacher, Liu Nong is not abandoning it, it is really clumsy!" ”
"Hidden?"
Xie Bao paused slightly, looked sideways at Mei Langjun, and saw that his face was as usual, not like a lie; I was very happy in my heart, and I stroked my beard and smiled: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing." Zhan Zhen can know clumsily and not avoid, very good! However, your calligraphy is obtained after years of hard work, and the handwriting has been condensed, so it should not be clumsy; It is expedient to hide for a while, but don't be confused and stagnant! ”
"Yes, Teacher."
His words were earnest, his meaning was mellow, and Liu Nong listened solemnly, with a little shame.
Calligraphy has always been his shortcoming, but anyone who has achieved calligraphy can tell at a glance that his handwriting is strange and defective. But what's missing? But it is difficult to put it into words, just like Lu Na and Lu Shuyao, they can only say that their words lack marrow, and if you ask how to get the marrow, you don't know. In this regard, Liu Nong was puzzled, and vaguely felt that there was a door blocking his vision, and he wanted to push the door to see the mountain, but every time he touched a piece of nothingness, he was weak.
"Zhan Zhen!"
While pondering, a call came from behind him, and he suddenly came back to his senses and found that Xie Li was no longer in front of him, and at this time, most of the boats were docked, and there were jade crowns everywhere. But I can see that the brocade ribbon is fluttering, the tail is swaying, and the ups and downs linger between the green willows, and they are swept roughly. I'm afraid there are not hundreds.
Xie Yi, Yuan Tan, and Chu Li stepped forward, and the four of them walked slowly along the stone road in the state.
Although Wang's manor is built in a flat place at the foot of the mountain, the elegant place is deep in the mountains. Liu Nong walked slowly all the way, looking at the four fields all the way, a hundred steps and a scene, showing a cascading trend. Straight to the top.
At the foot of the mountain: pine and bamboo are in a formation, each towering ancient pine, must be placed on the stone case, the case is engraved on the chessboard, people walk in it, and the spirit is quiet. Mountainside: The winding water is like a vine around the corridor, and the laurel trees are blown by the wind, shaking off the red and yellow colors and flowing silently with the stream, and the dark fragrance is buried. The top of the mountain: the waterfall is like a panic. Rapids are like turbulence; The green sea swaying Zhu Ting, just like the Yue girl, dancing.
The Great Yue Mountain, worthy of its name!
Because there is a routine elegance, everyone is scattered everywhere, and the chess player goes to the pine forest at the foot of the mountain, puts his robe on the table, and sits down on the stone case. Wait for your opponent to come forward; The painters went to the top of the mountain and groaned for a while. Placing a pen on the table, or depicting the lake, or annotating the pine, or taking the landscape figures in one painting, each is different.
On the first day, there was no debate and music, Liu Nong was rarely idle, and accompanied Chu Li to drink a gust of mountain wind. Chu Li poses for a case and paints. At a glance, it turned out to be a panorama, thinking that he would bury his head in it all day long, casually looking left and right, and the scattered dwarf cases had spread the entire mountain. Clusters of crowns are everywhere. Taking advantage of Chu Li's concentration on painting, he waved his wide sleeves and quietly moved, picking up the few places where there were few people.
But after walking for a while, the crowd gradually disappeared, and the overgrown weeds pulled the corners of the robe, as if they wanted to teach them to stay. Before I knew it, I went to the source of the waterfall.
A pool of blue water is like an eye, embedded in the craggy and strange rocks.
Laifu hugged the qin, looked around, and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, it's quiet here, do you want to set up a case?" ”
"No need."
Liu Nong stood on the edge of the pool, his eyebrows and eyes were washed by the pool water, and he slowly unfolded; The fists were pressed against his chest, slowly widened, and then he raised his fists and stretched a long lazy waist to the sky. There is no one here, no need to worry about manners, so he sat on the ground with his robe on the table, leaned crookedly against the boulder behind him, half-squinted, and looked leisurely.
From leaving Huating to Huiji, to this Wang Xie Merry Shanyin City, he did not dare to slack off every day. Admission hall, get acquainted with Wang Xie Yuan Xiao, worship Xie Pei as a teacher, and broadcast the name of Huating Meihe inside and outside the city. In this way, it seems that the antelope has no trace of its horns, but in fact, it does everything according to what is in the chest! There is still a year to go and the crown, how dare you make a mistake and take half a step! Although the foundation is thin, as long as it is unremittingly filled, it will eventually reach Luoyang.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he gently patted his right leg in front of him, and his expression became more and more comfortable. In the distance, light birds are in a row, silently passing by; Nearby, the clear water is full of seclusion, and the silk language is occasionally heard.
The scenery and the meaning are together, and God flies with the heart.
Moved for a moment, he smiled sideways: "Blessing, Qin!" ”
"Howler!"
Although Laifu doesn't understand the rhythm, he likes to watch Xiao Langjun play the piano the most. That's right, it's right to see and not to hear. Xiao Langjun looked focused when he played the piano, and he forgot about foreign objects, which was beautiful and wonderful!
Why put on a case? Let's put the rotten piano between the legs!
The green crown is slightly crooked, who cares?
Today's voice, not to the sky, not to the king, just to reward the heart!
"Immortal ......"
A song "Ambush on All Sides".
The sound of the piano swayed on the surface of the pool, and then rose up, around the top of the jungle, swirling leisurely in the wind, rolling down to the ears.
"Immortal! Airplanes!! ”
A finger hook pulls people's heartstrings and does not loosen.
The hand that came to caress the silver-white beard paused halfway, his brows were furrowed, and his heart was taken away by it, as if he was in a circle of arrays, and the frost and snow were all over the world, and he was about to pour the mountains and jade to bury everything.
"Buzz, buzz......"
Followed by finger flirting, pressing the sound and sprinkling indiscriminately, in an instant, thousands of arrows from heaven and earth were fired together.
"Buzz ......"
The sound of the piano was slowly retracted, and gradually it was never heard again, as if it had been successfully retired, and the head was tacitly returned. The old man standing under the tree slowly stroked his hand down and slowly grabbed the tail of the beard.
The breeze is blowing, shaking the crown belt, and the vest is cool!
The old man squinted his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Who plays the piano?" The words were about to come out, shaking his head and laughing at himself, if he wanted to know, why not take a look! Thinking about it, his pace quickened, walked through the forest and bushes, and hurried to the edge of the pool.
The pool is long, and the people are no longer there.
The old man climbed to the stone, looked around, and stared at the ground, only to see a moon robe and a green crown floating in the depths of the forest.
A smile gradually gathered in his eyes, and Wei Ran said: "It turned out to be him!" True! ”
……
"Liu Langjun!"
When Liu Nong and Laifu were about to walk out of the woods, from behind a laurel tree, Song Yi floated out, holding the jade flute, still dressed in green.
The forest is full of greenery, lined with pink lips, if the demon is not like a human.
Liu Nong's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, this bewitching character is not to be provoked, he waved his hand slightly, and said indifferently: "I have seen Song Xiaoniang, Liu Nong still has ......"
"Liu Langjun, Song Yi only has one question!"
Song Yi stepped forward with silk shoes, grabbed the green flute and lightly slapped the jade palm, cutting off Liu Nong's words. The green gauze bushes, the breeze is flirtatious, and it is really beautiful.
The mountain spirit stared directly at Liu Nong, the corners of his mouth gathered a smile, and after a while, he said softly: "Shicai, Song Yi is fortunate to hear Liu Langjun Mingqin, I want to use the flute to get together, I don't want to repeat it several times, Song Yi can't cut the sound, I don't know what the name of this song is, who made it?" ”
Liu Nong's eyebrows twitched, he thought for a while, and replied: "Wind and rain mountain pavilion, Liu Nong has it!" ”
"Oh?"
Song Yi raised his thin eyebrows lightly, clapped his hands with his flute, walked slowly, and muttered in his mouth: "Wind and rain mountain pavilion, wind and rain mountain pavilion...... Well, there is indeed a danger of wind and rain, but it is not as good as this song, if Song Yi takes another one for the king, I don't know if it is possible? ”
After speaking, he squinted his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at Liu Nong. And the end of the green flute in the hand happens to lie in the left palm, the five fingers are closed, and the roots are snow tender.
The two looked at each other, and each did not give in.
Slightly.
Liu Nong took a deep breath, slowly shook his chest, waved his hand and said: "Song Xiaoniang has this Yaxing, Liu Nong has nothing to do." ”
"Mo Ruo, four, face, bury, ambush!" Song Yi paused word by word, and the last four words were spit out on the cherry lips, like jade rolling on the ground; The eyes stared at Liu Nong for a moment, observing his eyebrows.
"Very good! Accept the words of the little lady of Song, just call it an ambush on all sides, Liu Nong still has something important, say goodbye! ”
Liu Nong was secretly frightened, but his face did not change, his right hand slowly covered his left hand, gently wiped it, took advantage of the situation, and then turned around and left.
"Gege ......"
After he left, Song Yi leaned on the laurel tree, the demon smiled, trembling all over, and the green flute in his hand shook and swayed, as if he was extremely happy.
After a while, his body slowly froze, his eyebrows quietly condensed, he looked at the direction in which Liu Nong disappeared, and seemed to ask: "This Liu Langjun is amazing, the armor is hidden in his chest, who does he want to ambush......"
I closed my eyes and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Well, whatever, who is in ambush has nothing to do with me?" ”
……
"Xiao Langjun!"
Liu Nong and Laifu walked through the mountain, Laifu suddenly paused, frowned and looked into the distance, and his right hand subconsciously pressed to his waist, but he pressed it empty.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Nong was slightly surprised, paused, and followed Laifu's gaze. In the hexagonal pavilion in the distance, several weak crown Langjun are drinking and painting, and one of them is Wu Xing Zhouyi! (To be continued.) )
