Volume 1 The Phoenix Bird Returns to the Dust and the World Changes Chapter 51 The Eve
At night, the dangerous buildings in Yangzhou City are shrouded in the top of pedestrians' heads like clouds and mist, the high towers and city walls are winding and undulating, the spacious road market is bustling, the beams and eaves of each house are hung with colorful lanterns, there are plump and fat Yin red perch, there are big red pumpkins as big as the head of beasts, there are golden jasper hibiscus, the twilight moves down, the colored lights are poured with oil core flames one after another, the sky is getting dark, but the world is mottled and shining.
At the beginning of the new year, the world is prosperous, the style of Yan country is the world, and the style of Yangzhou is the country of Yan.
There is a vast and clear lake in the city of Yangzhou, and the lake flows brilliantly.
Hundreds of boats are displayed on the flat surface of the lake, the gentle tide on the lake, the moored boats are undulating, and there are fishermen sitting firmly in the groove of the bow of the boat, with their feet in the water, holding a crooked fishing rod one zhang long in their hands, and sometimes drinking a sip of rice wine.
The pleasant night breeze blows on the lake, the slowly paddling boats flutter with graceful songs, and the beaded curtains on the windows of the boat's wings gently sway, and you can faintly witness the graceful posture of the singers and dancers.
There is a historic street market on the lakeside, which has been occupied by tourists and vendors tonight.
There is a dangerous building in the crowd to tie the hall with colorful weaving rings, 100 feet high, the top is spacious and can sit seven or eight people, there is a pink beauty holding the Ryukyus overlook, and everyone downstairs shakes their hands and shouts. Ten steps away from the color building, the two sides of the road also gather the population, the original is the folk handicraft cut paper people, those bright colors and lifelike paper people are in a thousand postures, its shadow or thick as a hammer, or thin as silk, straight as shaft wax.
At night, Lu Jingyuan and his entourage walked by the lake, feeling the gentle night breeze and abandoning all their worries, and they were in a very happy mood.
Ziling, who was wearing a long skirt, silently followed behind Lu Jingyuan, she looked at the back of the tall and thin man a little distracted, she had known him for many years, from meeting and knowing each other, this way, the appearance of the man in front of her had already been imprinted in her heart, whether it was family affection or love, mixed with each other, she couldn't tell it, but she knew that if Lu Jingyuan died, it would be difficult for her to live alone.
Looking back at her youth, when she was still the daughter of General Cao's Mansion, she lived a rich and prosperous life without worries and worries every day, and she never thought about where she would go if her family fell or her family was ruined one day, of course, she shouldn't have thought about these things at that time.
People always wake up in danger and struggle to get rid of the obstacles that once concealed their eyes.
When that day came, she was still wearing a well-made and textured flower-like skirt, holding a fat cat from the Western Regions with different eyes in her arms, sitting on the bench and quietly flipping through the books. When the servant pulled her up in a panic, she realized what was happening with the wailing and fighting outside the door.
Looking at the pale face of the servant, she felt confused, and she sensed a hint of something wrong in her heart.
"Pound!" There was a violent crash outside the door, like the sound of an iron door being lifted.
The wailing and crying around her became more and more frequent, and she kept pouring into her ears, and her pretty and immature face was frightened by the sudden urgency of the atmosphere, and it was full of tears.
Seeing her slumped to the ground, the servant replied coldly: "Miss, the Cao family is gone, I should also go." ”
"What do you mean it's gone?" Cao Ziya looked at the servant blankly.
"General Cao is dead. Cao's house was raided, run away, while the officers and soldiers did not attack, they would not be able to leave later. ”
Countless servants in the palace fled in all directions, like fish loaches shuttling in the mud, holding gold and silver, and no one paid attention to her.
But after she came to her senses, there were already corpses all over the door, and there were traces of officers and soldiers everywhere, and finally Cao Ziya curled up and hid in a low depression in the house to survive.
Then she ran out alone, was rescued by a man in a robe, the man learned that the Cao family had an accident and rushed to the night, when she saw the tragic scene of the Cao family was disheartened, but when he was about to leave, he accidentally rescued the orphan of General Cao, when he met Cao Ziya's thin body was lifted high, his eyes were full of tears, looking at a dirty and unkempt little girl, a tall man with a beard and a sob.
Later, Cao Ziya came to the Lu family in Yangzhou and became a personal maid next to the second son, and changed her name to "Ziling"
After many years, she comprehended most of the sword scriptures with sparse roots, and successfully entered the seventh realm of Taoist practice, and was even evaluated as a "genius sword cultivator" by a Taoist monk, and the future path is unlimited. But these are not what she really wants, when she was a teenager, she missed the life of the Cao family, and now she only wants to be by the side of Lu Jingyuan, who is dedicated to her company.
"Ziling, listen to the ballad on that ship, it's really good, listen to it. Lu Jingyuan stretched out his finger, his face was filled with a faint orange warm light.
"When is the bright moon?"
"Ask the sky for wine. ”
"I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. ”
"I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. ”
"Dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world. ”
"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, why should I say goodbye?"
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. ”
"I hope that people will be together for a long time. ”
The boat that floated the ballad was very close to Lu Jingyuan, the water and land were separated by twenty or thirty steps, and there was a beautiful shadow on the wooden board on the bow of the boat, and the song was melodious and fluttering on the surface of the lake, the rhythm was beautiful, and the tourists who listened to it were fascinated.
"Childe, do you like this song?" After Ziling heard the call, she suddenly raised her head, and Lu Jingyuan looked at her with a smile.
This poem was created by an old man in the poetry world who has passed away, and now it has been composed by someone, and it is really wonderful to interpret it in such a style. ”
It's just that it's the New Year, and it's a happy scene for the whole family, and this song has the color of Qingyuan's sorrow, which is a little out of place. Lu Jingyuan exhaled, with a hint of warmth.
But I think this song is not only melancholy, but also inextricably linked sincere, and people who are truly sad cannot make such profound words. Ziling looked at Lu Jingyuan with a calm face.
"Yes, how can a truly sad person make such a peerless masterpiece that overshadows the people of the world, only open-minded and open-minded people have this ability. Lu Jingyuan raised his head and closed his eyes, and he savored the melodious and tactful words.
"Childe, what do you remember?" Ziling said.
"No, it's just comfortable, I don't feel physically and mentally tired at the moment, it's comfortable, I really wish it was like this forever. ”
"Ziling also hopes that there will be no more wars, no more broken families, no more ......" Ziling looked at the lake and said movingly, and after saying the second sentence, her voice became more and more subtle, as if she had no strength.
"By the way, can Childe Ziling ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"Childe has a girl he likes. Ziling pursed her lips and said it anyway.
"Yes. Lu Jingyuan didn't expect Ziling to ask such a question, he blinked his eyes and replied slowly.
"What kind of woman is she?"
"She is a very understanding and very cute and charming girl, I like to see her smile, it is the most gorgeous scenery in the world, she is like a snow lotus on an iceberg, bright and flawless. Lu Jingyuan smiled, his eyebrows crooked.
"Then does she know?" Ziling's pair of black and shiny pupils were very good-looking, and the whites of her jade-colored eyes wrapped them in clusters, like two isolated and mutually pulling stars.
"She probably knows. Lu Jingyuan didn't look at him, leaving only a side face, a well-defined side face.
Ziling didn't understand what she might know, she asked again.
"Then, does Childe like Ziling?" Ziling's fair cheeks flushed with jealousy.
"I like it, Ziling is my favorite sister. Lu Jingyuan urged the narrow way.
"Then there is no such thing as a man and a woman?" Ziling frowned, and she clenched it.
Lu Jingyuan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and his robe moved, and he ran quickly towards the bright lights.
Ziling heard it very clearly, she smiled like a flower, she clenched her small fist, and immediately chased after her.
Tonight is the joy of the world, but tomorrow I don't know, but I hope that people will be together for a long time.
The world is worth it.
