Chapter 24: The Long Smoke and the Sunset (1)
The next day was the day when Du Zhiqing and Mo Jianchen made an appointment to paint on Xiufeng Mountain.
Although the appointment was made at dusk and we met in the mountains, Du Zhiqing came to Yunshuiju early.
She first went to the bamboo forest cottage and accompanied Xiahouchen to play with flowers and plants for a while, and then in the afternoon, when Xiahouchen was resting, she went up to Xiufeng Mountain and waited for Mo Chen's arrival.
At this moment, it was still early, and the sunset had not yet set on the hill, so she first put up the drawing board and waited for the sunset and Mo Jianchen's arrival.
A gust of wind blew, and her hair was slightly messy, and at this moment there was a clear spring in the mountains, so she temporarily got up, so she walked to the stone pier next to the clear spring and sat down, scattered her hair, and quietly combed her hair again.
And at this moment, Mo Jianchen happened to go up Xiufeng Mountain, and when he just stepped into the mountain, he happened to see her grooming by the clear spring.
He saw the light pale pink figure, delicate and small, sitting quietly on the stone pier.
The loose strands of hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall, and she gently picked up the water from the spring, and carefully braided her hair, and she looked serious and dexterous in her makeup, and she did not even notice his coming.
Looking at her like this, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but look stunned, stopped in place, and looked blankly at her who was grooming.
The figure like a thin willow, the black hair that floated slightly like a waterfall due to the wind, her appearance of quietly combing makeup, was even a little more moving than the Nine Heavens Xuannu, looking at it, he couldn't help but sway.
After Du Zhiqing combed her hair in a bun, she stood up gently, and when she turned around and saw Mo Jianchen standing behind her, she hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Oh, Brother Chen, why didn't you even make a movement when you came?" ”
"Huh?" Mo Jianchen came back to his senses after being called by her, he blinked his eyes a few times, and there was still a bit of apprehension in his expression: "I just saw you combing your hair, I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I waited for you here for a while." ”
He paused, took a breath, and returned his swaying heart to normal: "Why are you here so early?" ”
Du Zhiqing smiled lightly: "I came a long time ago, I was just in the Yunshui House, I stayed with my grandfather for a while, and my grandfather rested, so I came up." ”
As she spoke, she gently slapped Mo Jianchen's arm, "You still say that I, you came here early enough, this is still early before the sun goes down, you came." ”
Mo Jianchen gently picked the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a little slippery: "When you make an appointment, I can still be late, maybe I will be early, and I can see you early." ”
"At first, I was afraid that you would play tricks on me again this time, and trick me into the mountains alone, and you would slip away without a trace. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, I came so early, you came even earlier than me, this is my lovely Zhiqing sister! ”
"You know Flim Flam." Du Zhiqing stretched out his finger, gently poked Mo Jianchen's shoulder, and said happily: "Okay, okay, come on!" ”
As she spoke, she jumped forward, and Mo Jiancheng looked at his happy appearance, and he couldn't help but be happy, and walked forward with her steps.
Du Zhiqing sat down next to the drawing board, looked at the bright sun that was about to fall and had not yet fallen, turned his head and said to Mo Jianchen: "Brother Chen, you come and sit here for a while, the sun has not set yet, let's wait here for a while." ”
"Okay." Mo Jianchen sat on the stone pier on the side, looking at her smiling appearance, he only felt infinitely smooth.
"Zhiqing." Mo Jianchen looked at her big watery eyes and asked her, "What are you doing with the old pavilion master in Yunshui Residence today?" ”
"You said just now." Du Zhiqing said happily: "I just went to the Baihui Garden with my grandfather to water the flowers, you don't know that today, the flowers in the Baihui Garden are particularly bright in spring." ”
"Baihui Garden, where is the Baihui Garden?" Mo Jianchen asked him unconsciously.
"Brother Chen, you probably don't know." Du Zhiqing continued: "Baihui Garden is a garden where Yunshui is a crowd, and there are many flowers planted there, because the temperature there is special, no matter what season the flowers are, they can bloom. Colorful and especially beautiful. ”
"The next time we have time, let's go to Yunshuiju to find grandpa and go to Baihui Garden to have a fun together, okay."
Mo Jianchen nodded and smiled: "Of course! ”
"Eh, Brother Chen, you don't know." Du Zhiqing's eyebrows fluttered again, and he told Mo Jianchen endlessly: "When I went to Baihui Garden today, guess what I saw, not only the flowers are blooming, but there are also many birds and butterflies, which are really beautiful." ”
"The Baihui Garden in Yunshuiju is also one of the most strange scenery in the entire Muzhou City, where even plum blossoms and peach blossoms can bloom at the same time, Brother Chen, don't you say it's a novelty......"
She is still the same as when she was a child, every time she sees Brother Chen, she will be full of joy, and when facing him, there is always something to say, as long as she talks to him, she will talk endlessly and be elated.
Mo Jianchen was also like when he was a child, sitting quietly beside him, listening to the joy she had to say. The sound of her laughter is always a clear spring that can soak into the deepest part of his soul.
Listening to her talking enthusiastically, he won't even have a moment of boredom, even if he listens to her like this for the rest of his life, he won't feel bored. As soon as he saw her smile, he would be filled with joy.
I don't know how long the two of them have been grinding with their ears and temples, and finally waited for the time when the sun set.
The remnant sun lingers on the side of the mountain, outlining that dazzling crimson, which is still so gorgeous and colorful.
"Brother Chen, finally wait for the sun to set." Du Zhiqing looked at the sunset and said happily.
Then she pressed the paper on the drawing board again, flattened the folds in it, placed the brushes and dyes in place, and said to Mo Jianchen: "I'm going to start painting, Brother Chen, you have to look carefully!" ”
"Okay." Mo Jianchen nodded: "You paint, I'll watch it here." ”
After that, Du Zhiqing picked up the brush and sketched the shallow sunset on the plain white rice paper.
In the distance, a long cloud of smoke rose from the Tibetan and Mongolian mountains, which merged with the sunset and shrouded in the mountains, adding a bit of solemnity to this green lonely mountain.
On this day, the long smoke and the sunset are reflected in the mountain, this scenery is still like a dream, but the long smoke and sunset in the mountain give people a sense of loneliness when the corner company camps when fighting outside the fortress.
Holding the jade pen in his hand, the colorful was lightly outlined on the plain white rice paper, Du Zhiqing looked at the mountain scene, gently sketched on the paper, and after a while, he jumped the quiet scene on the paper.
"Brother Chen, what do you think?" After Du Zhiqing finished painting Na Danqing, he asked Mo Jianchen on the side.
Mo Jianchen stared at the Danqing picture scroll without blinking, nodded deeply, and exclaimed sincerely: "Wonderful, wonderful, although I don't understand Danqing, but Sister Zhiqing's skills are absolutely amazing, this scene of sunset in the mountains is rubbed on this rice paper by you, just like the real thing." ”
"Of course." Du Zhiqing was not modest, and said happily: "I have studied Danqing with my grandfather for so many years, of course I must have this ability!" ”
"It's just ......" Mo Jianchen's eyes still fell on the rice paper, staring at the scenery in the painting, and then looked at the sunset in the mountains, and said seriously: "Today's sunset doesn't seem to be much different from the scenery of the past. ”
"Long smoke has fallen on this mountain, the top of the mountain is shrouded in the sunset, the long smoke and the sunset are blended, it is more graceful than the past, and it is a little more solemn, so it seems that there is a bit of a strong and fierce feeling, Sister Zhiqing, what do you say?"
Du Zhiqing raised his eyes to look at the lonely green hills, and the long smoke that rose bathed in the layers of sunset, compared with the graceful sunset scenery in the past, it did add a bit of coldness and solemnity.
She also nodded and sighed: "Yes, under today's sunset, there is more wisps of long smoke, and the long smoke and the sunset fall on this perennial lonely green mountain, which will always give people a sense of sadness and slaughter." ”
Her bright eyes moved slightly, looking at this solemn scene, her heart couldn't help but feel a surge and grandeur, looking at the long smoke and sunset, she couldn't help but vibrate and said: "The sound of the corners on all sides is rising, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city." ”
After saying that, she turned her head again and looked at Mo Jianchen: "Brother Chen, do you know this poem?" ”
Mo Jianchen nodded: "The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention." It is Fan Wenzhenggong's "Fisherman's Pride. Autumn Thoughts. ”
"Hmm." Du Zhiqing nodded, and his eyes fell on the long smoke and sunset on the Tibetan and Mongolian mountains opposite, with a little deep meaning in his eyes, and he said deeply: "Looking at the sunset and sunset in this mountain, I suddenly remembered this poem by Fan Wenzhenggong. ”
"The long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city, but it seems to depict this scenery in this mountain, but there is no sound on all sides, but it also gives people a bleak feeling of battlefield battle."
"Although I have not experienced battlefield battles, I can look at this scenery of long smoke and rain and sunset, as if I have seen everything. It seems to see the soldiers who have not returned from the battlefield for a long time, as if they have seen their blood stained on the battlefield for their family and country and the people, and as if they have seen their hearts full of blood and pride. ”
As she spoke, the surging feelings in her heart became even stronger, with perseverance in her eyes and a bit of grandeur in her eyes.
"Brother Chen, come here, let's come here." As she spoke, she turned around and grabbed Mo Jianchen's arm again, and walked to the other side of the mountain.
"Eh, Zhiqing, where are you going to take me?" Mo Jianchen couldn't help but look at him with some astonishment.
