Chapter 214: Cataclysm (1)

Views:

The clouds in the sky were soft and soft, like fine fish scales, and when the afternoon sun was shining through the clouds in the sky, the birds flew across the sky over the lake. The water waves of the West Lake are quiet, and Xiaoyingzhou is located in it. This is the most beautiful garden in the water. The trees around the embankment are lush and green, and there is a pavilion and a curved bridge. .

The most central part of Xiaoyingzhou is a Baoning Temple, and some people take advantage of the time left to enter the temple to worship incense and pay homage to the Buddha.

Such a pattern will no longer be seen in later generations.

The painting boats are now like a crescent around the side of Xiaoyingzhou, and the people on the big boat in the center have gathered a lot of people. According to the procedures of the previous few times, around the time of Shen, everyone got on the boat and started to sit, and then the prefect spoke, and several old people also spoke, and then everyone discussed and exchanged. , eating, drinking, reciting poems and writing poems, watching the night scene at night, and setting lanterns and water lanterns, basically this is a process like this.

At this time, there is still a little free time before everyone gets on the boat. In fact, it is from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Shenshi time, and when everyone is officially seated, the prefect and others come out, usually it will be two o'clock in the Shenshi, which is 4:00 in the afternoon. bell later. Before that, for example, the current Hangzhou prefect, Lu Tuizhi, the great scholar Qian Xiwen, Mu Bochang, Tang Xiuxuan, etc., would basically meet with each other or meet some people in private. What kind of interests are there in this? Deep or shallow, it is not enough for outsiders.

The Liqiu Poetry Society, which started in the third year of Jinghan's drought in the Wu Dynasty, once decided a lot of things on the bright side and the dark side. Of course, for people like Ning Yi and his wife who only came to Hangzhou this year, no matter how talented they are, it is naturally difficult to know the content. After that, they have little chance to understand what the content is.

In the ninth year of Jinghan, this poetry meeting did not end.

After that, the incident that happened suddenly during this poetry meeting shook the entire southeastern land in an unexpected manner, and it also prevented many things from reaching the end. Of course, at this time, everyone is still doing their thing as usual, looking forward to the next events as they should be. In the shade of the embankment, the woman playing the qin rolled her fingers and strummed softly and sang softly, letting the sound of the wind spread her voice across the land.

On the Qian family boat, Qian Xiwen had just met the Chang family's nephew and nephew. At this moment, he said something to the housekeeper, and also brought a question or two about Ning Yi and his wife. I asked Lou Jinlin a couple of things about Miss Su's family and Ning Yi. If Ning Yi came to visit him at this time, he wanted to see him, but Ning Yi and his wife were said to have already arrived, but they did not directly board the ship to ask to see him, but it made him have a bit of fun in his heart, and now he just smiled and let Qian Yu go out Invite some other people to come in and sit.

In fact, he is good at learning. He lectures everywhere on weekdays, and his family interests are above everything else. What he seeks is the general path of moderation. If others are urgent, he can understand it, but he may not like it in his heart.

On the other hand, going out from the Qian family's side, the current owner of the Chang family began to visit Mu Bochang, Tang Xiuxuan and others. He was greeted and greeted by many people on the way. It became the center of the crowd, almost blocking the weir on the embankment.

Several real big families in Hangzhou are all headed by people with profound knowledge. After all, it is the world of literati at this time. At the beginning of this year, Chang Yu'an of the Chang family passed away, but due to the good foundation, the Chang family did not decline in Hangzhou at this time. On the contrary, because the owner of the family at this time was Chang Yu'an's son, all the elderly were treated by their sons and nephews. , In this poetry meeting, as long as they know each other, the elders will inevitably greet him. If they are the same or younger, they will also have to recall the merits of Chang Gong, and they will sigh endlessly. At the banquet later, the magistrates said It is inevitable that such a theme is inevitable. As long as it is well grasped, the Chang family will become the protagonist of this banquet.

All kinds of greetings here, in the eyes of literati, are mostly those who tend to follow the trend. Under the shade of the trees and in the cool breeze, there are already elegantly dressed scholars and students swinging their folding fans, listening to a few girls. The qin music, facing the surroundings, began to compose poems according to the occasion, and occasionally good works were spread around.

Moored among the many boats, on the Lou family's painting boat, Lou was about to send off a visiting old man, his face was full of smiles, and he was thinking about some things just now. On the lake just now, the Qian family's boat approached voluntarily, and Qian Xiwen kindly invited him to come over and talk, which made him feel doubtful now.

The Qian family and the Lou family did not have much contact before. The other party was a family heirloom of poetry and books, and was a big landowner. At most, the Lou family had a lot of connections in the officialdom, so it was a big family that went up. . In the eyes of others, the status of the two families may be only one line apart, but he knows that the distance between this line, without the hard work and luck of one or two generations, may not be able to catch up. Qian Xiwen is not much older than him, but if they meet, Lou Jinlin still has to call him Duke Qian.

They were two families who didn't communicate much, but the other party suddenly approached and chatted with each other. Although he was also a man who had been through the storm, it was difficult for him to know what the other party was thinking, and whether it was a hint of closeness. Or because of Chang Yu'an's death, those old people were going to attack the Chang family for some reason? If at a certain point those people really get angry, and the Lou family takes the opportunity, this kind of ambiguous hint is actually enough. It just doesn't seem possible no matter how you think about it.

During Qian Xiwen's small talk, he also mentioned the couple Ning Yi and Su Tan'er, but they were only close to the building, so naturally they wouldn't think that was the reason. The distance between the Lou family and the Su family is actually similar to the situation between the Qian family and the Lou family. Back then, it was said that Su Tan'er would marry Lou Shuheng, but it was purely because she thought that Su Tan'er could become the second son's good helper. Nonetheless, at the time, they were in the mood of resignation, and it was common for the two sides to give up after a hahaha.

This time, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi came here, and although they had warmly entertained them once, they didn't have any special feelings, saying that the original engagement was just a joke. Lou is near here, and doesn't think there is anything special about this couple. Of course, Su Tan'er has some abilities, but her daughter also has it. They are best friends, and that's their business. Ning Yi is the number one talent in Jiangning, but even his son-in-law Song Zhiqian, if he arrives in Jiangning, he must be able to call himself the number one talent in Hangzhou. Who knows, when he is in his position, a talent is not a very amazing identity.

In the name of the first talented person, it is nothing to get close to the great scholar Qian Xiwen, but even if he is the first talented person, it is impossible for Qian Xiwen to come over and ask about their relationship in person, so Lou Jinlin didn't put these things together. Include thinking.

In the side hall of the main ship of the venue, a group of officials and students are gathering here, led by Lu Tuizhi, the prefect of Hangzhou at this time. This Lu Zhifu has an easy-going temperament, at least he likes people who are unruly on the surface, and this is not a very formal occasion to get along. A bunch of men got together and it wasn't football, it was basically politics.

"... Together with the beacon and smoke in the north, I want to write a pen and join the army, join the army to the north, follow my king's division to expel the Tartars, and recover Yanyun..."

"... Brother Liang Gao Yi, it's just that Jin Liao has been at war for a long time now, but the exact news of the use of troops has not yet come from the capital, will it be..."

"... Zi Ran has been thinking too much. In fact, the Northern Territory has been rectifying the Sixth Army recently, and now there is news of Qin's return, which shows that my emperor had foresight and prepared for this matter for eight years. It only takes a few months and a few days to see the difference..."

"... It seems that I have deliberately chosen before the autumn harvest when I launched the army. After the army is launched, there will be new food, so that the supply of stored food will not be bad... "

"...My area of Suzhou and Hangzhou has always been a land of fish and rice. I must have a heavy burden of warehousing and transshipment. By then, the prefect will have to work hard."

"...Unfortunately, there are still bandits in the southwest, and it seems to be getting worse recently..."

"...Hey! Brother Chen's words are bad, Fang Bandit is nothing but Xianjie's disaster, in my opinion..."

The liveliness of each place, the thoughts and ideas of each place, these are just episodes. On the eve of the poetry festival, one after another, the little episodes are not surprising, and they have become a grand scene of people gathering on Xiaoyingzhou.

At the same time, Lou Shuheng was standing on the platform of the ship and looked down. The platform on the second floor of this flower boat was relatively high. From here, the cofferdam of Xiaoyingzhou was full of lush trees, which could be seen from a distance. The Baoning Temple located there, the sun shone down from the sky and sprinkled on him, making it a little hot. For this reason, most people are more willing to take a walk in the shade of the road below.

Lou Shuheng just got out of the compliment from a group of people. At this time, there was no one around, and suddenly he had a particularly sultry mood, and he felt that the current affairs were quite boring.

In fact, he often has this kind of mood - maybe everyone has it, but his mood just now is probably because of one thing: he just met Su Tan'er.

The accompanying process is as follows:

He came from there with some friends, and when everyone was writing poems, he was very poetic at the time, so he composed a poem on the spot. His consistent style is to be praised as having the legacy of the Tang Dynasty. After writing for so many years, this song is now one of the masterpieces. The main thing is not the poems, but the demeanor, mood, and style of writing the poems in one go. In addition to being proud, he also noticed that when he was writing the poems, Su Tan'er and another woman were watching. , that woman should be Luo Tian's wife Wen Haiying. The two of them clearly admired him.

Then they said hello and they left.

This is also the norm, and for Lou Shuheng, writing poetry and being admired is also the norm. There is nothing surprising. He didn’t think about anything at the time, but then he ran over to drink water. Ideas flooded in.

It's mainly about Su Tan'er's appearance, smile, ability in the mall, her running around these days, and so on. He couldn't say that he was very tempted by Su Tan'er. After all, after all these years in the game, Su Tan'er is a beautiful woman, but Lou Shuheng, who is more beautiful than her, is not unfamiliar, but they are not as independent as she is. There is no... temperament like hers. And the most important point is that my father Yue Yu said jokingly before: "This girl Su almost became your wife..." The mood floated up again.

There is a possibility that conquering such a woman is completely different from conquering other girls. At this time, as long as you think about it, your heart will inevitably throb. For example, his sister sometimes made fun of him, and he didn't think it was a big deal to have a marriage contract at the beginning, but these feelings were always inevitable.

Now that she sees herself writing poetry, what is she thinking in her heart? She has seen the serious look in her eyes just now, and there must be some admiration. It's a pity, I'm already married, and I'm still the number one talent in the family. Even if I have some talents, everyone is completely different in temperament and momentum. How can we compare.

With these emotions floating in my heart, I suddenly didn't bother to mess with those people, and just now I expressed my heart. At this time, my heart was lonely, and I felt like "heart is like a tiger, sniffing roses, and tears are streaming down my face after the feast". Then, walk down.

He was walking in the crowd. For a while, those friends didn't come over. Even if someone said hello, he just smiled and nodded casually. At this time, he didn't want to talk. When he approached the fork in front of him, he saw a woman playing and singing under the book in front of him. Two women next to her were chatting and laughing with her. There was a group of people around him. But at this time, there is no challenge or the desire to be courteous in the past, and there is nothing to look at.

His head looked to the other side, and they were all walking people. It was really boring... But then, he saw two figures beside the lotus pond.

The two of them were also listening to the qin. Because the crowd was so disgusting, they stood on the other side of the lotus pond and looked slantingly under the tree. One of them was Ning Liheng, and the other was , but it was a well-behaved maid next to Su Tan'er, but he didn't know what it was called.

At this time, you can go over and say hello, but after watching here for a while, he frowned slightly. The master and servant were talking over there. The little maid was sometimes laughing, sometimes frustrated, sometimes slightly angry, sometimes charming, and sometimes still He jumped and looked at the girl who played the piano over the pool, and Ning Liheng had a smile on his face, but it was a little different from his conservative appearance with Su Taner. Then Lou Shuheng found out that Ning Liheng had a smile on his face. At one point, he even held the hand of the little maid.

so kind...

He shook his fan, smiled here, then looked around, thinking in his heart: what would happen if Su Tan'er saw this scene. He disdain to inform, but Su Tan'er did not appear in the field of vision. With complicated thoughts, he walked over there, preparing to scare them, which was quite interesting.

The son-in-law who is with the maid is no different from the groom who used to make the maid's belly bigger...

He thought so. And as we got closer, some thoughts in my heart suddenly sprouted and expanded in an instant.

He has always been a romantic and unrestrained person. He thought of it, so he did it easily...

Here, the backs of Ning Yi and Xiaochan are also a small episode on this big stage, and will soon become a slightly larger medium episode.

Lou Shuheng approached behind the two of them and patted Ning Yi on the shoulder.

"Ning Liheng!"

The moment Ning Yi turned his head, he punched him...
