Suzhou Taohuawu, adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which connects to the north and south, has changed generations of owners in this rich fish and rice Jiangnan for thousands of years.

The change of dynasties does not hinder this blessed land of humanity in the world, and there are talented people from generation to generation.

"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. ”

Behind the courtyard with blue tiles and white walls, there is a peach forest, where two girls hold hands, singing the poems of the talented Tang Bohu, while playing in the depths of the peach forest.

At this time, it is the fourth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, Tang Bohu has only passed away for a hundred years, he is a person from Taohuawu in Suzhou, and both adults and children here can chant his quatrain, but it is not strange.

It is mid-autumn, the peach blossoms in the peach forest have not yet opened, and the flowers and plants dotted with it are still full of vitality, making the autumn Jiangnan more charming.

The wind is also soft, and the soft feeling on the face is like a girl's delicate hand, caressing you.

In the crevices of the treetops, a few rays of sunlight occasionally sprinkled with warmth, and it was not as warm as in the middle of summer.

The two girls had already crossed the peach grove and walked onto the embankment of the canal.

The younger girl was only four or five years old, dressed in green, with two pigtails on her head, and a pair of watery eyes on her pink carved face, flashing, and looking a little naughty.

The older girl, holding the hand of a little girl of four or five years old, carefully stepped on the stones of the embankment, for fear that she would step into the aquatic weeds and wet her clothes and shoes.

"Round! Round! ”

The little girl, who was four or five years old, suddenly broke free and ran forward, and the girl chased after her, shouting.

After a while, the girl's foot, called "Yuanyuan", slipped and the person had fallen.

A new garment, stained with weeds and mud.

The round little hands supported the ground, sat up and pretended to cry, and laughed again.

"Madame just changed your clothes, it's strange to see if she doesn't scold you, you're still so naughty, hey!"

The girl dragged Yuanyuan up from the ground, sighing as she helped her beat the mud and grass on her body.

"Love sister! My mother said yesterday that when I grow up, I will go to Jinling Qinhuai River to learn art like you. ”

"I don't want you to be like me in the future, no matter how good you learn in the art industry, but it's still a play, I bought it from my aunt, Yuanyuan is different."

The girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, as tall as an adult, and after finishing talking to Yuanyuan, she turned her head, and tears were already overflowing in her eyes.

The round elf is very, bypassing her sister Ai and helping her wipe the tears on her face.

"Sister Ai, don't cry, you just came back to play with me, what is the play?"

"It's so round, my sister doesn't cry anymore, the drama is to serve others, hey! Don't talk about it, you're still young, and you'll understand when I'm my age. ”

"Also, Sister Ai has changed her name, called Rushi, and now in Jinling, they all call me Liu Rushi."

After Liu finished speaking, he squatted down and walked down the embankment with Yuanyuan on his back.

Yuanyuan rolled his eyes as if he didn't understand, rubbed Liu Ruye's long hair with dirty hands, and kept saying, "When I grow up, I'm going to Jinling to be with my sister, I'm going to learn art and do drama, hum!" ”

"The Chen family treats you as treasures, such a good child, but they are willing to send them to that place."

On the road, a few mothers-in-law who were either holding clothes in their hands or carrying baskets said after looking at Yuanyuan and Liu.

Yuan Yuan listened, and laughed again, and the girl Liu Ru took a few steps tightly, no longer listening to the nagging of those mothers-in-law.

After turning a few alleys, there is a temple facing Chen's Mansion, the door of the temple is not big, and it is not even as good as the gate of Yuanyuan's Chen's Mansion, and it is closed all day.

Liu Ru was carrying Yuan Yuan just walked through, at this time the door of the temple suddenly opened, and a nun came out in front of the two of them at once, and glanced at the Yuan Yuan on Liu Ru is back, but the person suddenly disappeared, and the door of the temple was closed.

Liu Ru had seen some of the world, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, and was about to ask Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuan on his back was already saying, "This master, every time she sees me, it's weird, my mother told me not to talk to her, just stay away from her." ”

Liu Ru snorted and simply stopped asking.

Children have their own childlike happiness, not as gloomy or even depressing as the adult world.

Liu Ruis is no longer a child, the suffering childhood made her experience the suffering of the world early, sending people under the fence, watching people's faces and eating has made her accustomed to it.

"Yes! The two of you are back, Jinling has just sent a letter over, there are guests who want to see you by name, you will go back to Jinling after lunch, there is an official ship in the afternoon. ”

Yuanyuan's mother had been guarding the gate of Chen's mansion for a long time, and before she could finish speaking, Yuanyuan on Liu Ru's back had already jumped down, and people also cried.

"Mother! I won't let my sister go, I won't let my sister go, and my sister hasn't played well with me yet. ”

Liu Ru looked at the crying Yuanyuan, her expression was a little sad, and she grabbed Yuanyuan's hand, which was also shaking.

"Chen Yuanyuan! You will only cry, and I will send you to Jinling in two years. ”

Yuan Yuanniang scolded a few times, turned around and entered the courtyard.

Liu Ru squatted down, helped Chen Yuanyuan wipe the tears on her face with her sleeves, and gently hugged her into her arms.

"Good sister! It's round! When my sister comes back, I will bring you snacks from Jinling City to eat, and I will buy you beautiful clothes. ”

Yuan Yuan burst into tears and laughed, his little hands tightly wrapped around Liu Ruye's neck, and he looked at the courtyard wall of the temple opposite.

At this time, there was a faint sigh in the temple.

————————

From Suzhou to Jinling, take the waterway along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to the north, and then go upriver to the Yangtze River at the entrance of Beijing, which generally takes a day and a night.

Liu Ru sat on the window on the second floor of the official ship, he was groggy all night, and after sleeping for a while, he was Chen Yuanyuan's appearance, his cold little hands grabbed her, and he woke up in a few dreams, only to know that it was the cool river breeze blowing, Liu Ru was a little sad in his heart, and he fell asleep again.

The next morning, a noise woke up Liu Ru.

Some of the people on the boat squeezed onto the top deck, and those who couldn't squeeze in were leaning against the window and looking out into the middle of the river.

Liu Ru rubbed his red and swollen eyes, in the middle of the river, there were three more big boats, and they were going upriver like this official boat, but they were much faster.

The two in front and behind the three large ships were actually military ships, and they were full of soldiers, with bright armor, standing in rows on the side of the ship.

The big ship in the middle is three or four stories high, and there are many red, yellow, and blue flags on board, and some flags have dragon-shaped patterns on them.

Liu Ru was a little surprised, she had been wandering in the rivers and lakes since she was ten years old, and she had been wandering from place to place, although she was not very old, she had also seen the world.

"This flag is a bit the same as what we sing, those with dragon flags are all places where the emperor is, is it that the emperor has come to Jiangnan?"

Liu Ru thought to herself, and the person next to her was already talking.

"In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are about to run out of food, I heard that there are people in the northwest Shaanxi and Gansu who have gnawed tree bark and dug grass roots.

"It's better for the prince to talk less, the trouble comes from the mouth, when the king of letters arrives in Jiangnan, Jinyiwei must be everywhere."

An old man kindly reminded the boy who spoke.

Liu Ru looked back, and the boy had already walked over to this side, and there was a girl in white beside him.

"Senior brother, don't talk too much, you forgot what your father told you."

The girl in white whispered.

Liu Ru looked at the young man's righteous face, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"The little brother walks the rivers and lakes alone, which is admirable."

Seeing that Liu Ru was very friendly, the boy walked closer at this time, greeting him, but the accent was not like Jiangnan's, Liu Ru couldn't hear where it was, and the person had already stood up and hugged his fists.

"Senior brother is talking nonsense again, this brother is a woman dressed as a man, can't you see it?"

The girl in white chuckled.

Liu Ru's face was crimson, but she didn't know what to say.

"In Xia Liu Xingyue, when I first arrived in Jiangnan, I didn't know Your Excellency, and I was a little sister."

That son, Liu Xingyue, was very bold, and said it again.

"Your surname is also Liu? Then we are the door, and the little woman Liu Ru has seen her brothers and sisters. ”

"As early as when I was in Yangzhou, I heard that Liu Ru of Qinhuai River in Jinling is a big name, and her talent is the best in Jiangnan, and Liu Ru is mostly a woman dressed as a man walking the rivers and lakes, is it her sister?"

The woman in white held Liu Ruye's hand and couldn't stop looking at Liu Ruye's face.

"My sister has won the award, which is the love of the guests for the little girl."

Liu Ru bowed down and said, it was already a daughter's family.

Liu Xingyue laughed.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, and when I arrived in Jinling, I wanted to see the talent of the little sister in the house."

Liu replied, and with the girl in white holding hands, he went up the stairs to the top deck.

At this time, King Shin's fleet had already surpassed the official ships, and the people on the deck were still talking, and many of them were talking passionately.

After all, Liu Ru is still young, and he couldn't understand what the adults and Liu Xingyue said, so he just looked at it in confusion.

At this time, there was a figure in the crowd, it turned out to be the nun at the door of Chen Yuanyuan's house, Liu Ru went to look for it again, but there was no one left.

Liu Ru is thinking.

"Bold thief! We followed all the way, and this time on this boat, I'll see where you go. ”

Suddenly, there was a shout, I don't know when there were more than a dozen people in black on the deck of the official ship, Liu Ru was stunned, Liu Xingyue, who had just walked in front, was gone, and the girl in white who had been holding her hand didn't know where she went.

Seven or eight of the dozen black-clothed men rushed to the cabin below, but the remaining few surrounded Liu Ru.

[Beijing division of green willows, swallow guests drifting zero, the old country of the country tour.

Bashu north also, through the place, Qinguan beacon fire like a dream, Han water flows eastward.

The Great Wall has been for thousands of years, sighing the sun and the moon, the snow is boundless, and the eternity is sad.

A sword crisscrosses the four seas, thinking of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the most important thing, what to ask for in the wind and rain!
