("The Prequel to the Floating Life" was written 2 or 3 years ago, and the style will be very different from the main text, so I hereby explain.) On one side of the quaint tiles, a withered old willow faintly sprouted a few bits of fresh green. The three-foot Qingfeng circulated, reflecting a new round of words. The sword momentum did not stop for a moment, and slowly spread out. The vague shadow of the sword overlapped, following the blade until it coalesced, and let out a sharp howl.

The man with the sword was richly dressed, a gold-encrusted belt shone brightly, his face was like a mountain, and a wisp of green beard swayed slightly in the wind. Gu Pan is not angry and self-assured. At this time, after the sword trick was played, the man turned his head and asked, "Yu'er, do you remember?"

I saw a childish boy with a face like a crown jade standing tall, and at this time he grinned: "Daddy, you are acting too fast, the child is really powerless." "The tone is very old, not at all like this age.

The man snorted lightly and said, "You are also stupid, even if you teach that rhubarb, you should learn it." The child's face was bitter and he said, "In this way, the child is not even as good as a dog!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious: "Okay, you rabbit cub, turn around and scold you Lao Tzu! You are not even as good as a dog, what is Lao Tzu!"

The boy ran away, and the man was so angry that he shouted: "Don't run! Look how Lao Tzu repairs you!" How dare the boy not run, using the rockery bonsai in the courtyard to dodge constantly, and turn around from time to time, with a flattering expression: "Daddy, the child knows his mistake!"

After all, the boy was young, and the man lifted him upside down with a pounce, took off his pants and wanted to beat him up, but the boy was so frightened that he screamed.

At this moment, a maid ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and Shi Li said, "Master, Master Li is here." When the man heard this, the big hand that had just been raised had to be slowly lowered, and he said in a deep voice, "Where are you now?"

The maid replied: "Madame has received ...... in the front hall" When she looked up, she saw that although the child was upside down, she was still squeezing her eyebrows at herself, as if she was thanking her for saving her life, and she couldn't help but smile.

I didn't want to be seen by the man, and the anger that had just subsided broke out again, only to hear a loud "pop", and the audience was silent, followed by a heart-rending wail......

The man walked through the pavilion and soon reached the antechamber. Before he entered the door, he laughed heartily: "Haha, Brother Boji!

I saw that in the hall, a young woman with a vulgar appearance sat on the upper seat, her pretty face was ruddy and shiny, her delicate facial features seemed to be faintly smiling, and sitting on the other side was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be skinny, but a pair of fine eyes were bright, and her gray beard was like a steel needle, standing upright. There was a little girl standing next to her, with a delicate appearance and a very well-behaved appearance.

The middle-aged man stood up suddenly, and laughed loudly, but his voice was hoarse, not as hearty as the former: "Brother Xian, I want to die as a brother!"

The man stepped forward quickly, picked up the little girl, raised it above his head, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Yan'er has become a big girl!"

The little girl's face was very thin, and in the blink of an eye, her ears were red. When the young woman saw it, she hurriedly took the girl down, and said angrily: "They all say that Yan'er is a big girl, why are you still messing around like this!"

The man laughed, hugged the middle-aged man again, and said in a deep voice, "Brother...... Are you okay all these years?"

Tears flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's okay, it's okay......"

The young woman also had a sour nose, so she took the little girl and said softly, "Auntie will take you to see Brother Yu, okay?" The little girl nodded obediently. The young woman smiled softly and said to the man, "Yue Ting, you two brothers will catch up with the old days first, and I will ask someone to prepare a meal." ”

The man smiled and said, "Go, remember to prepare more good wine, for the sake of the husband and Brother Boji, you will not get drunk and return!"

The young woman grinned, answered yes, and led the little girl Shi Shiran down.

The man is Shen Yueting, the head of the Shen family in Tokyo, the young woman is Shen Yueting's wife-Chu Ming, and the middle-aged man is Li Gang Li Boji, who is known as Mr. Liang Xi. As soon as Chu Ming left, the two sat next to each other, and a maid had already brought high-quality fragrant tea and exquisite snacks.

Li Gang looked at Chu Ming's departing back, and suddenly sighed: "Back then, my younger brother and sister were still innocent girls, and my virtuous brother was also a young man, and in a blink of an eye, he was also a parent!"

Shen Yueting smiled at the corner of his mouth and quipped: "It's you, brother, who is still the same as back then, graceful and heroic." ”

Li Gang laughed and said: "There is also this mouth of the virtuous brother, which has been the same for ten years, and has not changed." ”

The two laughed at each other for a while, and Shen Yue asked suddenly, "What is the matter with my brother entering Beijing this time...... No matter what, I have to live for a while longer, so that my brother and I can do my best to be a landlord. ”

A smile flashed in Li Gang's eyes, and he motioned for Shen Yueting to come closer. Shen Yueting thought that there was something secret, so he hurriedly attached his ears to it. I didn't think about it, Li Gang said softly: "Come this time, don't leave!"

Shen Yueting was stunned for a moment, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "This is true!"

Li Gang stood up leisurely and said with a smile: "The emperor asked my brother to be the pastor of the country, but I just want to leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!"

Shen Yueting was very excited, "Okay! good! good!" said hello three times in a row, and then said: "The sky has eyes, my brother can finally show his ambitions!"

Li Gang was also in a stirring mood, and couldn't help but say: "In life, you should have the world in your heart and be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, so that you don't live in vain!"

Shen Yueting slapped the table and said, "That's good!

At that time, the annihilation was in power, and the government was wrong, and now the two of them talked about the state affairs of the world and forgot about the time. Until a maid came to tell me that the banquet was ready. The two of them just woke up, and before they knew it, it was noon.

The banquet was set up in the back garden of the Shen Mansion, which was the place where Shen Yueting practiced swords before.

On the banquet, the phoenix and the dragon are cooked, the water and land are ready, and it is very rich, Shen Yueting and Li Gang came side by side, and there were already a few people waiting in the garden, except for Chu Ming, there were still two men. One of them has a square face and a kind complexion, it is Shen Yueting's brother Shen Mu, and the other person has a white and thin face and slender eyebrows, but it is Shen Yueting's younger brother Shen Xiaoyan.

Shen Mu saw the two of them coming, and smiled at Shen Yueting: "Second brother, this must be the Mr. Liang Xi you often mention!" Shen Yueting nodded slightly, Shen Mu looked at Li Gang with a smile, and hurriedly said: "I have long admired the name!"

Li Gang smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency should be Yue Ting's brother!" Shen Mu laughed, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Li Gang looked at Shen Xiaoyan again, but saw that Shen Xiaoyan was stunned, his eyes seemed to float towards Chu Ming, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he deliberately raised his voice: "Then, this should be the third master of the Shen family!"

Shen Xiaoyan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know it, Shen Yueting was unhappy in his heart, and said angrily: "Smiling!" Shen Xiaoyan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head away, and hugged a fist casually, with an arrogant attitude. Li Gang remained silent and returned the same salute.

After several introductions, they sat down one after another.

Li Gang looked around and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see Yu'er?"

Shen Yueting snorted coldly and said, "What do you want to do with him! This unscrupulous son is not a martial artist, and he can actually play tricks!"

Li Gang was stunned, but when he heard Chu Ming's eyebrows raised, he said angrily: "What's wrong with playing tricks, isn't it someone who has learned!"

Shen Yueting said softly: "Xiao Ming, there are so many people, can't you give your husband some face!" Chu Ming grinned and replied: "You are allowed to say my son, are you not allowed to say you!" Shen Yueting's face changed, and he said angrily: "You ......" but he finally sighed, and poured a glass of wine in front of him into his stomach, which was considered to be out of breath.

When Li Gang saw it, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, the virtuous couple is still the same as back then, and they won't let it go!" When Shen Yueting and Chu Ming heard this, their hearts were warm, and their minds couldn't help but think of the scene ten years ago, when the three of them were boating on the lake. Chu Ming said in his heart: After all, he treated me very well, and he didn't marry the wrong person in this life. It turned out that Shen Yueting wandered the rivers and lakes when he was young, met Chu Ming, who was also young, and later got acquainted with Li Gang, who was still studying. The three of them are full of humanities and martial arts, and they walk together in a chic manner, and they have formed a friendship of eight worships. Later, Li Gang concentrated on learning, but Shen Yueting and Chu Ming came together. Time flies, and now it is a matter of right and wrong, but fortunately, the feelings remain the same, and they are still better than back then.

At this moment, I heard a young child's voice coming from the garden: "Brother Yu, give it back to me!" Everyone followed the voice, only to see a childish boy rushing out of the grass, jumping around, like a monkey. A girl followed, her face full of tears, crying as she ran: "Brother Yu, give it back to Yan'er!"

Shen Yueting stood up and shouted: "Shen Zhuoyu!"

The childish child is Shen Zhuoyu, Shen Yueting's only son, he immediately froze on the spot when he heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw that there was a whole table of people looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart: It's over, my father will only call me Shen Zhuoyu when he is very angry...... Suddenly, I saw that Chu Ming was also at the table, and my heart was relieved again: Fortunately, my mother was also there......

The girl is Li Yan, Li Gang's young daughter, at this time she also saw everyone, her tone suddenly fell, secretly pulled Shen Zhuoyu's sleeve, and murmured: "Brother Yu......"

Shen Zhuoyu immediately got angry, turned his head and glared at her and said, "You're happy now, I'm going to be unlucky!" But seeing Li Yan's mouth, tears had already poured out. Shen Zhuoyu was even more angry, and shouted: "Don't cry!" When Li Yan heard this, she quickly gritted her teeth, her eyes blinked, as if she was trying to take back the tears.

Shen Yueting shouted again: "Rebel, come over to me!" Shen Zhuoyu sighed helplessly, and obediently walked to him, Li Yan still followed closely, pulling Shen Zhuoyu's sleeve, Shen Zhuoyu was already angry, and immediately shook his sleeve fiercely, which made Li Yan almost fall.

When Shen Yueting saw it, he was angry, and with a snap, the left side of Shen Zhuoyu's face was already high and swollen.

Everyone didn't think that Shen Yueting would do it on the spot, they were all shocked, Chu Ming hurriedly ran to Shen Zhuoyu's side, but saw that Shen Zhuoyu was already scared stupid, and couldn't help but feel severe pain in his heart, kept stroking Shen Zhuoyu's left face, shook his head and said angrily: "Shen Yueting, why are you beating my son!"

Shen Yueting shot out angrily, he didn't control his strength for a while, and he regretted it at that time, and when he saw the tears in Chu Ming's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Li Gang saw some clues, and said to Li Yan: "Yan'er, what's going on?" Li Yan squeaked inclearly and held back for a while: "No...... It's nothing, Brother Yu is playing with me......"

Shen Zhuoyu had already come to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Who wants you to pretend to be a good person!" With that, he threw his left hand and smashed a white object to the ground.

Everyone looked at it, but it was a porcelain plaything, but it was shattered at this time, and they couldn't see what it was. Li Yan's mouth deflated, but she didn't hold back after all, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Chu Ming was extremely smart, and had already guessed the cause and effect, so she hugged Li Yan at the moment and comforted softly: "It's okay, my aunt will buy you a new one in a while." Li Yan was confused, and said to herself: "Mother...... Mother's ......"

Chu Ming heard it strangely, turned her head to look at Li Gang, Li Gang smiled bitterly: "This is what Yan'er's mother gave her before going to Beijing, and Yan'er cherishes it very much and always takes it with her." ”

Li Gang didn't finish speaking, but saw that Shen Zhuoyu didn't say a word, turned around and left. When Chu Ming saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Yu'er!" but heard Shen Yueting shout: "Let him go!"

Chu Ming knew that Shen Zhuoyu was at a loss, and it was even more inconvenient to explain him in front of Li Gang, so she had to carry Li Yan back to the table and try her best to comfort him. A banquet was disturbed by this incident, and everyone hastily ate it, and then dispersed.
