Sword comes

There are always some people who will feel good at the first sight, and it doesn't make sense.

After Chen Pingan saw the scholar, he swept away the heavy feelings he had accumulated while walking half of Fulu Street, and quickly walked forward with the clay pot in his hand.

The young scholar smiled warmly, and instead of standing still, he walked towards Chen Pingan, and said first, "You are Chen Pingan, right? My name is Li Xisheng, and I am Aquarius' elder brother. Aquarius was sent from the cliff academy." I have received the latest letter from home. As an older brother, I really don’t know how to repay you. I heard that you have been studying. You might as well come to my house often in the future. I still have some books. Please take it yourself.”

Not only that, after the young man took the clay pot from Chen Ping'an, he bent down and bowed, "I have no choice but to thank you for your kindness."

This made Chen Ping a little at a loss, so he had to point to the clay pot and said with a cautious expression: "Mr. Li, there is a crucian carp in the pot. I found it on the mountain on the way back and gave it to the treasure vase." .”

Li Xisheng lowered his head and glanced at the golden fish in the earthenware pot. He seemed to be swimming comfortably in the square inch. He raised his head, looked at Chen Pingan, and said with emotion: "I have seen the magic of crucian carp in the writings of the sages. Described, the golden crucian carp is one in a million, I never thought I would have the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes, don’t worry, I will raise it carefully, and she will be very happy when Aquarius returns home in the future.”

The sincerity and enthusiasm of Li Xisheng, a noble family member, made Chen Pingan completely at a loss as to how to answer. No matter how it is recorded in the book, no matter how mysterious Cui Dongshan's words are, to Chen Ping'an, it is really not rare or valuable.

As long as Chen Ping'an believes that he is close to someone, he is willing to pour out his heart.

Chen Pingan was really not good at chatting enthusiastically, scratched his head, said goodbye, and was about to turn around and leave.

Li Xisheng quickly called Chen Pingan to stop, "Why don't you go and sit at home for a while, I will take you through today first, and then come to the door to read a book by yourself, and I will inform the concierge later."

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Next time."

Li Xisheng smiled helplessly: "Then let me put down the crucian carp and return the clay pot to you."

This time Chen Pingan was not polite, nodded and said: "Then I will wait here."

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "Wait for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

He turned around and trotted all the way holding the pot.

At this moment, the young man is no longer like the sage master who said the truth in the book, but really looks like the elder brother of the little girl in the red padded jacket.

Not long after, Li Xisheng ran back holding the pot, with several books under his armpits. After taking the pot, Chen Pingan bent down and put it on the ground, wiped his hands vigorously, and then took the books. Someone imitated the book and put it under his arm, and finally picked up the clay pot with funny movements, "I'll come and return the book after I finish reading it."

Li Xisheng smiled like a spring breeze, waved his hands and said, "Don't rush to return the books, just read them slowly, they are much more obedient than Aquarius, they won't run around by themselves."

Li Xisheng put away his joking expression, and said slowly: "Chen Ping'an, don't think that I invite you to come to read a book is just a polite way, I really hope you will come more, although Aquarius is very smart, but after all, he is still young, and the child's heart is not good. Letting her read a book quietly at home is really harder than reaching heaven. So for so many years, it feels like I am the only one in the house who is flipping through books and reading. When I think about it carefully, it is actually quite boring. "

Li Xisheng said a lot of his heart in one breath.

If there are people from the Li family here, they will definitely think that the sun is coming out from the west.

Because this not-so-famous eldest son of the Li family, under the background of his younger brother Li Baozhen, looks too old-fashioned and boring. Although he is kind to everyone, he speaks very little and is dull and boring. , Even walking alone in the mansion, watching the sunrise and sunset, watching the wind, snow and moon, watching everything, the ghost knows what can be seen from this.Fortunately, Li Xisheng is the eldest grandson of the Li family, and he is not badly popular. No one in the family would hate the easy-going future head of the family. It's just that he is less likable than his younger brother Li Baozhen.

Chen Ping nodded and said, "I will come."

Li Xisheng hummed and waved goodbye to the boy.

Seeing Chen Pingan's back gradually going away, Li Xisheng murmured: "I see how charming Qingshan is."

He smiled knowingly, "It is expected that Qingshan should be like this"

Li Xisheng turned and walked towards the gate, stepped over the threshold, smiled all over his face, and said to himself, "It's another beautiful day."

But as soon as Li Xisheng thought of the news from the capital, he sighed. There was no way, every family had scriptures that were hard to recite. As he walked, walking through corridors and buildings, the young man laughed to himself again, " Don't delay the beauty of today."

In the corridor, a young maid met him face to face, slowed down her pace, cast a blessing on her side, and said tenderly: "Master."

Li Xisheng habitually slowed down, nodded with a smile, and just passed by without saying a word.

The pretty maid turned her head to look, she couldn't help feeling sorry for herself, and sighed in her heart, the eldest son is a nice person, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand the style.

If it was the second young master, he would definitely stop, chat with himself, and even praise his newly bought beautiful headgear.

Of course she didn't know.

This eldest grandson of the Li family really does not understand the customs of this place, but he is well versed in the customs of other places.

Like a torrential rain that dries up a lotus, a spring breeze blows an iron horse, a beautiful woman shines in a bronze mirror, a general wears a treasured sword, and a green mountain is covered with heavy snow.

They are all the beauty in the world in the eyes of that person.

Li Xisheng returned to his yard, where there was a small pool piled up with pebbles of various colors.

Li Xisheng squatted beside the pool, looking down at the clear water, there was the golden crucian carp in it, shaking his head and tail, carefree and carefree.

It's hard to imagine that this decent pool is all due to Li Baoping alone. Every time the little girl sneaks out, she usually goes to the Longxu River to pick up stones. The family moved, and then one day Li Baoping had a whim, looking at the stones piled up in the corner, he wanted to build a pool for his eldest brother that could raise fish and crabs. At the end, Li Baoping did all the work alone. Li Xisheng, the elder brother, wanted to help, but she was still unwilling to live.

Li Xisheng saw a little guy poking his head under a bluestone slab, and said with a smile, "You two, get along well and don't fight."

Li Xisheng stood up, went to the small study where the plaque hung with "Jielu", began to spread paper and grind, and draw with a brush.

It is a picture of snow pressing green pines with strong ancient meaning.

After putting down the brush, Li Xisheng shook his wrist, and began to look down at the painting. The ink was still wet, and the ink was fragrant.

At last he blew gently on the painting.

In the painting, if the green pine encounters a strong wind, it will rustle, and the snow on the branches will dissipate in an instant.

Ruan Xiu happily returned to the blacksmith's shop, but she didn't find her father's blacksmith figure in the sword furnace, but after searching again, she found that he was drinking on a bamboo chair under the eaves.

Ruan Xiu asked strangely: "Father, don't you want to forge iron?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

Fuck iron, today is not suitable for casting swords.But if it is to beat Chen Pingan, the man is willing to do so.

Ruan Xiu sat at the side, "Father, I forgot to bring you a jug of wine today, and I will definitely buy you a jug when I go to town tomorrow."

To make matters worse.

The girl naturally didn't know that once she uttered these words, it would be tantamount to pouring salt on her father's wounds.

Ruan Qiong sighed, took a sip of mulled wine, stared blankly at the Longxu River in the distance, and asked in a low voice: "Xiuxiu, do you like Chen Pingan?"

Ruan Xiu smiled and said, "I like it."

Ruan Qiong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter's answer so cleanly. It seems that there is still a chance to rein in the horse. The military sage asked, "Do you know why I didn't agree to accept Chen Ping'an as a disciple?"

Ruan Xiu was stunned, and wondered: "Father, haven't you already said that before, you said that you have a good impression of Chen Ping'an, but it's a pity that you are not in the same way, you two are not suitable to be masters and apprentices, I know this Also, Chen Pingan is not the same, so my father is worried that I will attract the attention of many behind-the-scenes forces because I am too close to him, so you are not very happy to see me and Chen Pingan as friends, but I can Understood."

Feeling that all the truths had been told to my daughter early, Ruan Qiong was speechless for a moment, resisting the words that came to her mouth, and took a big gulp of wine.

The man drank his sorrows with wine and was even more troubled, thinking that since he knew the truth, he would stop hanging out with that guy Chen Pingan from now on, silly girl, you don’t lack that shit opportunity, besides, Chen Pingan has lost the temptation now The ability to "fly moths into a flame", not to mention that you are the greatest opportunity, my daughter. As soon as I heard that he had returned to his hometown, he ran all the way from Qilong Lane to the stone arch bridge, and then pretended to take a walk in the courtyard, taking a leisurely stroll Slowly walking towards your own shop, who are you lying to?

Ruan Qiong put down the wine pot, and said calmly: "Once Qi Jingchun leaves, it is tantamount to the end of the officialdom, but now this Longquan County, although there is no major danger, Lizhu Dongtian is such a big piece of fat that fell from the sky. It's not too much to be surrounded by wolves, many things are not as simple as you think, father still said that the troubles caused by Chen Ping'an are easy to solve, but once you get involved, it will be very difficult to solve."

Ruan Xiu stretched her legs, leaned back on the bamboo chair, and said lazily: "I know. Anyway, I will practice hard. When the time comes, I will see who dares to be dishonest. I don't need your help. I will do it myself." It can be solved."

Another big handful of salt fell on the man's wound like snow.

Ruan Qiong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The military sage stood up angrily, and when he passed behind his daughter, he rewarded a chestnut and went down, "turning his elbows out all day long"

The girl turned her head and looked at her father's back, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Neither blacksmithing nor looking after the shop, the girl was a little idle, so she shook her wrist lightly.

The bracelet "lived", and the little Charmander, which woke up from its doze, began to slowly rotate around the girl's white and tender arm.

Ruan Qiong walked towards a newly built sword furnace. Apart from a large number of young and strong laborers, he has taken in three new apprentices this year. For the time being, they are only registered and not counted as apprentices. , suddenly opened his eyes, trotted to Ruan Qiong, and asked softly: "Master, you want to strike iron?"

Ruan Qiong shook his head and changed his mind. Instead of going to the sword furnace, he walked towards the Longxu River. He was going to personally measure the weight of the gloomy river. If it was enough, he could open the furnace to cast the sword as agreed.

The boy with extremely long eyebrows followed closely behind.

Although the master and apprentice have a priority, they walk together.

Chen Pingan went back to the shop in Qilong Lane, handed the clay pot to the boy in Tsing Yi, and then gave the key and books to the girl in pink skirt, and told them to go back to the ancestral house in Ni Ping Lane.

He went to Yang's medicine shop alone, no matter the wind, rain or sun, year after year, the Spring Festival couplets hanging on both sides of the shop would be changed every year, but the written content had never been changed. I would rather put the medicine on the shelf and turn it into ashes."

Chen Pingan asked a new-faced young store clerk, and learned that old man Yang was in the backyard. When he walked through the side door, he saw the old man sitting on a small bench in the yard, bending over and crossing his legs, puffing and puffing. .

Chen Pingan didn't speak, and felt a little restless.

Old man Yang cut to the chase and said, "I want to ask if it is possible for your parents to be like Gu Can's father, and their souls can stay in the town after death."

Chen Pingan's breathing became heavy instantly.

"No."

The old man exhaled a big puff of smoke, and gave the answer and the reason straightforwardly: "Because it's not worth it."

The young man lowered his head, let alone speaking.

Only the pair of badly worn straw sandals were on the ground, so I couldn't see clearly.
