Yanyang County, Guqingguo.

In the past two days, Mu Xiwan has hardly gone out and has been staying in the inn to rest, but her two children have been wandering outside with Kong Nianyu. The heavy snow stopped that night, and the next day it was a sunny day.

"Brother Kong, let's go watch the lion dance!" the little boy said excitedly when he saw the figures of people in the street in the distance and someone dancing the lion.

The little boy's name is Mu Qinglang, and the little girl's name is Mu Qingle. Kong Nianyu thinks these two names are good.

"Good. Kong Nianyu nodded with a smile, and then led Mu Qinglang and Mu Qingle to walk over together.

Several people squeezed through the crowd and came to the front, looking at the "lion" that kept jumping in various postures, Mu Qinglang looked happy, he had only heard of this juggling before, and this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

After a while, after the lion dance, the crowd applauded, and some of the spectators took out their pockets and rewarded a few copper plates or a grain of broken silver. Kong Nianyu also took out a broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the two lion dancing men.

"Brother Kong, let's go listen to the book, I heard that those storytellers are the best at telling some interesting stories, but it's interesting. Mu Qingle raised his head and opened his big eyes and said to Kong Nianyu.

"Okay, there's a storytelling restaurant near here, I'll take you to listen to the book. ”

After walking through two streets, you will come to a restaurant called "Fengquan Building", and on the first floor, there is an old storyteller standing at a table, drinking and talking loudly.

"This person in the rivers and lakes is the most chic, the most romantic, but also the most amorous, the most lonely! Just now, I said that the gentleman of the Confucian Mansion in Middle Earth who was surnamed Lu hundreds of years ago was chic, and now, let's talk about his amorous again!"

After the old storyteller patted the "stop talk" made of boxwood, the restaurant was suddenly silent, and they all looked at the old storyteller quietly.

Kong Nianyu took Mu Qingle and Mu Qinglang to find a table where there were already two people sitting down, and sat down after saying hello with a smile.

"The world is a big dream, and life is a few times cool!" The storyteller raised his long white eyebrows, sat on the chair behind him and said loudly, "It's the emperor and general, the third-grade grandmaster, and how many are really chic?

"That Lu surnamed Confucianism, his mother was the granddaughter of the prime minister of a great dynasty in Zhongzhou at that time, and his grandfather, who studied under a great Confucian in Confucianism, was proficient in scriptures, and was an official in that great dynasty!"

"In his generation, it coincided with that great dynasty that wanted to become an empire, and then it was suppressed by the major sects of Middle-earth Shenzhou. Moreover, he is a genius and is not destined to be buried. It's just that the woman he likes is the daughter of a certain six-part squire of that great dynasty, which dooms them to be impossible. At that time, almost all of these officials of the DPRK and China above the fourth rank were included in the must-kill list, and then the children of these people were also regarded as must-kill people by some sects, and the people in the rivers and lakes generally did things to the end, regardless of good or bad things. ”

The two first became husband and wife and loved each other very much, but later because of the war, Lu Junzi's mother let him separate from the woman, and Lu Junzi finally agreed for loyalty and filial piety. After the woman returned to the stormy dynasty, she was forced by the situation to marry someone else. Later, because he missed the woman, Lu Junzi left the Confucian mansion, did not want the title of gentleman admired and pursued by the scholars of the world, and went to the great dynasty alone, and found that the woman was already the wife of someone else, and he couldn't help but be very sad. ”

In the end, this pair of beloved couples did not come together in the end. That's why there are those two famous words and phrases that move the world in Kyushu. One was written by Lu Junzi, and the other was written by the woman. ”

"Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, the city is full of spring palace wall willows. The east wind is evil, and the joy is thin. A cup of sorrow, a few years away. Wrong, wrong, wrong. ”

"Spring is the same as before, people are empty and thin. Tear stains are red and silky. Peach blossoms fall, idle pond pavilion. Although the mountain league is here, it is difficult to trust the brocade book. Moh!Moh!Mo!"

The old man got up and took a sip of wine, and then continued: "Lu Junzi wrote tens of thousands of poems in his life, almost all of which were written by Jin Ge Iron Horse, but there is a great Confucian who once said, 'Lu Fangweng is not happy for his life, he must not be able to fight the horse, and he will lose the unintended person.'" ’”

That woman can be regarded as a sincere love for Lu Junzi, and a few months after Lu Junzi looked for her, she left the world because of extreme depression and longing, which can be regarded as leaving the sad and miserable world. Before leaving, the talented woman also left a song to sing and Lu Junzi. ”

"The world is thin, and people are evil. The rain sends the dusk flowers and falls. The wind is dry, and the tears are left. If you want to write about your heart, you will be oblique in your monologue. Hard, hard, hard. ”

"People come into their own, today is not yesterday. The sick soul is often like a swing. The horn is cold, and the night is dark. Afraid of people asking, crying and pretending to be happy. Hide, hide, hide!"

As a native of Confucianism, Kong Nianyu has long known this story, and he has read almost all of Lu Fangweng's poems, and he can memorize most of them, and it is one of his skills to remember them.

In the past, he just smiled indifferently at this story, and only appreciated this "one tree and one plum blossom and one bloom" Lu Fangweng, but at this time, he thought of the Middle-earth catastrophe that would come at some point, and thought of Mu Xiwan, and he couldn't help but have some understanding of Lu Fangweng's feelings in his heart. Immediately, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He still trusted his instincts very much, but just now, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart, thinking that Mu Xiwan might be implicated in this catastrophe, which made him unable to believe it.

He thought of the poem Lu Fangweng wrote in his later years, sadly and helplessly remembering the woman.

"The slanting sun on the city paints the corners of mourning, and Shen Yuan is not a restored pond. ”

"The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and they used to be shocked. ”

"The dream has been broken for forty years, and Shen Yuanliu Lao does not blow cotton. ”

"This body is a mountain and soil, and there is still a trace of it. ”

"If you want to come, step over my Kong Nianyu's corpse. Kong Nianyu secretly swore in her heart that in the future, when she was in that troubled world in Kyushu, she must protect Mu Xiwan, even if he died, she and her children would be protected.

In the restaurant, many of the listeners are silent drinking, and it seems that they are all people with stories.

Many people in the world have many different ideals and hopes, and the human heart is greedy. However, no one would want to have many stories for themselves.

Mu Qingle and Mu Qinglang were only five or six years old, and they were not used to this atmosphere, so Kong Nianyu took the two of them out of here and continued to wander the streets.

At the corner of this street, he saw a shop called "Takayama Flowing Water", which sold musical instruments.

He thought that Mu Xiwan liked to play the piano, so he went into the store and bought a set of toons to make a banana leaf guqin. Kong Nianyu is in Middle-earth Shenzhou, known as the "Ten Gentlemen of Qin Music", and stands side by side with the other nine qin masters, so even if he buys a piano, his vision is very good. Tsubaki itself has a certain hardness and brittleness, especially toon, no miscellaneous smell, and a faint fragrance. The banana leaf style has round and smooth lines, the headstock is unique, simple and cute, full of fun, he thinks it is quite suitable for Miss Mu.

When buying the piano, the owner of the shop selling the piano saw that Kong Nianyu was in good shape, so he recommended several luxury guqins made of golden silk nanmu, Kong Nianyu just smiled and shook his head, and said: "This piano is a gift to others, and the expensive one does not mean that it is good, and a good one does not mean that it is suitable." ”

After buying the piano, Kong Nianyu lightly scratched his fingers on the piano a few times, and after carving a few words on it, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

Gift to Miss Mu.

Kong Nianyu took Mu Qinglang and Mu Qingle around for a while, it was close to noon, and then returned to the inn.

After Mu Qinglang went upstairs and called his mother down, the four of them began to have lunch.

"Miss Mu, listen to Qinglang, you love to play the piano the most, I happened to pass by a piano shop today, so I bought a set of guqin......" Kong Nianyu handed the set of guqin to Mu Xiwan.

Mu Xiwan was stunned, then shook her head with a bitter smile: "Don't play the piano anymore." ”

But she glanced at Kong Nianyu's clear eyes, thought about it, and took the banana leaf guqin.

After lunch, Mu Xiwan took out the banana leaf guqin, put it on the cleaned wooden table, sat upright, and put her arms down.

"One last time for the male. She laughs, then puts away her smile and begins to inspect the body and audition.

When she checked the body of the piano and saw the words "Gift to Miss Mu", she smiled faintly.

She plays the strings with her right hand and presses the strings with her left hand, checking each string one by one, and after confirming that the tone is normal, she begins to play in real time.

played the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud".

From the beginning of Mu Xiwan's audition, Kong Nianyu looked at her, watching and listening calmly. He thinks that this is the best sound in the world.

Mu Xiwan was also concentrated, as if she wanted to play the injustice she had suffered in the past few years along her white jade fingers at once. The sound of the piano is sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes delicate, sometimes rough, and people listen to the ups and downs of the piano sound.

Some people in the inn happened to go downstairs for lunch, and the inn was served, and when they heard this sound, no one applauded, because they were all infected by the sorrow and sorrow, and they all appreciated this peerless sound with their hearts.

Kong Nianyu listened to the sound in his ears and looked at the person in front of him, completely stunned.

The sound of the piano intensified and became more and more intense, and when it was about to reach its peak, the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

The string condensed the throat and stopped, and there was no affection for ten thousand times.

Kong Nianyu was speechless at this time, just stared blankly at Mu Xiwan across the table, fell for it, was impressed by it, and felt bitter and heartache for it.

It wasn't until everyone in the inn applauded that Kong Nianyu came back to his senses, and then said to Mu Xiwan: "Xiwan, I ......"

"Master Kong, I know your intentions. But...... I can't do that. Mu Xiwan's face calmly interrupted Kong Nianyu's words.

"For ...... Why?" Kong Nianyu opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect this ending, his heart was depressed, and he asked with difficulty.

"Because I don't want to implicate my son, my life is so bitter, I just need to bear it by one person, and I don't want the second person to bear it. Gongzi Kong has already done a lot for me and my two children, and if we help us again, it will only make Gongzi suffer. Mu Xiwan said with some sadness. She actually likes this Kong Gongzi in her heart, but she really doesn't want to affect this very good Kong Gongzi because of her.

"Kong Gongzi will definitely achieve something in the future, and he will find a good family. Mu Xiwan said, and then silently thought in her heart: I will definitely find a good girl who is better than me, who will not affect you, will not drag you down, and will not let your reputation be damaged.

Hearing this, Kong Nianyu got up and said with a solemn face: "I am the only one left in my family now, I have a gentleman and elder who can call the shots, and he will definitely agree to the matter between us." ”

Then Kong Nianyu shouted loudly, as if to let everyone in the world hear.

"I, Kong Nianyu, am the young master of the Confucian Mansion, the first sect of Middle-earth Shenzhou! I am a Confucian monk at the peak of the seventh grade! The girl I like is named Mu Xiwan! I have liked her all my life! I have never met such a good girl! I have never met such a good girl! I make people think that she is the only woman in the world! I like her! Who dares to make irresponsible remarks? I just like her!"

Kong Nianyu said to the end, looking at the woman in front of him affectionately. The woman's eyes were full of tears, and she also looked at the scholar in front of her affectionately.

After hearing Kong Nianyu's words, everyone in the inn was even more stunned, not only for his identity, but also for his courage.

"I like you too...... Mu Xiwan choked up with hot tears streaming down her cheeks.

The man across from her wiped away her tears, and the two hugged each other tightly.
