Title: Breaking the Contract First

Summary: The stars were extinguished in his eyes.

On the evening of September [-]th of the first year of Yongxu, Guo Bing sent us to the gate of Zhizhou Mansion and said, "I will send the four of you on horseback to take the four of you to the boat." There were servants waiting at the gate with five horses.The four of us got on our horses, and the servants followed at the end.When we left the east gate, there was a winding line of refugees along the road leading Chen Mi.Among them, there are no members of Tianyi Sect.Wei Yan, who recovered after drinking the medicine, hesitated on the horse next to me and said: "Reporting for teaching, kill Liu Yanluo." I asked: "Are you in a hurry?" He shook his head.I said, "Then it's the same when we arrive in Lizhou?" He said, "Okay."

When we arrived at the pier, the servants took the horses the four of us rode back to Guofu.The large sand boat with square bow and stern is docked at the pier, and its side is like a big ingot.The ship has three floors at the bow and stern, seven masts in the middle, and nine sails that have been hung.There is a bamboo basket with stones under the mast, which can be swayed when the wind and waves increase or decrease.We arrived late and there were not many people on board.When we arrived, Liang Zeren said: "Go to the highest level of the bow." He followed the ladder lowered by the hull to the third level.Afterwards, when it came to Shen Lian, Shen Lian quickly turned over.Many people on board praised: "A chivalrous man is so light!" Liang Zeren clapped his hands.I said: "Beautiful body." Wei Yan said: "Better than him." He directly mentioned me and flew up to the third floor, landing next to Liang Zeren.It is indeed better than Shen Lian, too fast, and the boat was slightly shaken by the waves, so I vomited a puddle into Huangshui while holding the side of the boat.Wei Yan gently held my arm.I said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I just hope the passengers on the third floor didn't see it."

"No one. I rented the third floor of the bow, and only the four of us live there." Liang Zeren said, "It's made Dr. Li suffer again."

The boatman anchored at the bottom, and while the big boat was moving forward, I said, "It will be fine in a few days." Liang Zeren asked, "This journey is full of dangers, do you regret leaving Chang'an with me?" Live it."

When the ship arrives at the big docks in the states, it will dock for supplies.Yuanzhou is dominated by hills and mountains.The boat pulls anchor from Yuanzhou Wharf and sails across the mountains. The golden osmanthus trees on both sides are shaded, and there are apes singing one after another.Wei Yan and I went to the terrace to watch. He looked at it for a while and said, "It's strange in the south." I said, "My hometown, Lizhou, is near the sea, and it's also very unique."

The ship arrived at Shunzhou and stopped at Lingyi, the capital, for two days.The four of us came down and took a carriage into town for dinner.I asked a passer-by: "Is there any restaurant with good tea?" The passer-by said: "Fang Weng Lou is delicious, but there may not be a seat when it is full every day." I said: "Thank you." Shen Lian said: "Go and see Let's go." Arriving at Fangwenglou in the evening, there were no seats in the building, but there were six new tables on the street in front of the building, and we just happened to catch up.After taking his seat, Liang Zeren said, "Try the fatty fish, a specialty of Lingyi." He ordered peony pearl fatty fish, immortal chicken, crispy lotus root and two side dishes.After serving the food, the waiter in the shop said: "Is this the first time for you to eat our Yiling's peony and pearl fat fish?" Wei Yan said: "Yes." Shen Lian asked: "What's so special about the fat fish?" Pearls, but the soup is milky white like these two things.The waiter in the shop said: "Fat fish has no scales and few spines. It is a treasure among fish. Peony pearl fatty fish is steamed from fatty fish and fat meat. The belly of the fish is the best." Then he went down.Wei Yan on the right picked up the belly of the fish and moved it over. I shook my head quickly, and he fell into my bowl.I picked a piece of fish belly myself, it was tender and delicious, and the milky white fish soup was delicious and thick.At this time, a diner on the side said: "Wang Fengji Jianguo of Wangzhou named 'Dawang', more than a month after he established Yutan City as the capital, the festivals of 23 states have been reversed by eleven." The person opposite him said: "Shun The state is different. The name of the state is "Dashun", and we use Lingyi as the capital? Alas, among the seven states in the south, only Lizhou's Shen Lingbin has not rebelled. The imperial court can't do it." The first person said: "I don't know why Shen Lingbin didn't Rebellion." Another person said: "Whether he rebels or not, this world is full of chaos." The waiter brought tea and said, "Fangshan dew buds!" I tasted it and frowned: "This tea is not delicious." Shen Lian Laughter: "The Fangshan Luya in Weibafang is delicious, because it is a tribute tea. Drinking the same variety is very different." The next day we went back to the shipowner.On the way, he encountered a gangster who was beaten away by Shen Lian and Wei Yan before boarding the ship.

When I arrived in Tanzhou in October, I disembarked and bought a handful of noodles.On the evening of October [-], when I knocked on the door of Wei Yan's room, he was lying on his back in his room.I asked, "What are you doing?" He said, "Stargazing." I asked, "Are you hungry?" In the kitchen, I cooked a small bowl of noodles by myself and brought them to the third floor of the bow.The ship was shaking, and Shen Lian sat on a stool on the edge of the ship and watched the rolling river.When I brought it to him, he took it with a smile: "You cooked longevity noodles for me yourself?" There were twinkling stars in the night sky, reflected on the river, and fell into Shen Lian's eyes.

I smiled and congratulated: "I wish you all the best."

In the gust of wind in the river, he suddenly said: "Everything is going well? I am still not satisfied with what you promised me." What I promised but have not yet fulfilled, is not the only thing I have to do is give him a flower scarf with a bird title? But I Touched his head, determined to give him another surprise with the crown.But the person who was the same age as him could no longer survive.

So I wondered: "Shen Lian, you saw it when Shen Sheng dropped the jade tablet with the word 'Yao'. You repeated his words again and again, did you guess that Shen Sheng is Shen Yao, the son of Shen Lingbin?"

Shen Lian said, "Well, I guessed it a long time ago."

I asked: "You can obviously save him in Wolf Valley, why not?"

He didn't deny it, but he didn't answer me directly, he just said: "It can be saved but not saved, why do we have to save him?" I was at a loss for words.He said, "Li Ping, are you cooking longevity noodles for me just to ask me?"

I said, "No, the Longevity Noodles are really for you, He Sheng."

And the stars were extinguished in his eyes.

I forced a laugh, looking for something to say: "The storyteller said that Xie Zhengzhong of the Tanzhou Army and Shen Lingbin, the governor of the Lizhou Zhongyong Army, are family friends. Xie Zhengzhong's daughter, Xie Yurongfang, is fourteen years old and extremely beautiful..."

Shen Lian raised her chopsticks: "It's late at night, you should go back to your room first. I'll finish eating the noodles outside." When I went back to my room, I was still thinking, why didn't he save Shen Yao?

And six years later, Shen Lian married Xie Yurong who was pregnant.
