Fengguixu

Lotus Watching Festival?

Shen Xu stood at the same spot, watching everyone's faces beaming with joy, as if he was planning some great happy event, for the first time, he felt a desire to blend in, desire to be tainted with some fireworks in the market.

This kind of desire is actually based on envy. He gradually realized that being an ordinary person seems to be better than being a child of the rivers and lakes. You don’t need to study martial arts, don’t have to worry about it, and stay away from swords and swords all your life. Parents, wives and children.

What are rivers and lakes?What are you doing with them?

He thought blankly, picked up a piece of candied lotus root with a bamboo stick, the candied lotus root powder was tender and crystal clear, stained with honey and rose petals, it smelled sweet and fragrant, but before it could be put into his mouth, he was smothered with joy Cut off Hu.

"The Guanyin Festival in Langya City has always been a major event in the Eastern Continent. The Guanyin Pond that the peddler just mentioned has a thousand hectares of blue waves and greenery. In midsummer, the green leaves are green and the lotus flowers are gradually blooming. It is so beautiful and extraordinary that it is truly human It's a wonderful sight." Yu Jinhuan was suave and suave, shaking his folding fan slowly, his cheeks bulging into a small bag.

Shen Xu looked down at the empty bamboo stick.

After Yu Jinhuan finished eating one, he naturally held Shen Xu's hand, and poked the lotus root with the bamboo stick in his hand: "Why, want to see it?"

Shen Xu nodded honestly, and moved the hand holding the candy lotus root tray away.

Little by little, farther and farther away.

Yu Jinhuan finally couldn't reach it, cast a cold glance, pretended nothing happened, and let go: "If you want to go, go quickly, dawdle."

The corners of Shen Xu's lips curled up, looking at the back of someone who couldn't get enough and tried to pretend to be decent, he really wanted to laugh.

Well, it seems that this lotus root is really good to be able to look at it with green eyes.

Wrapped by the crowd all the way, go to Guanyintang.

In order to take revenge on Shen Hui, Yu Jinhuan bought countless snacks along the street, such as Fuling soft cake, amber candy, Chengsha dumplings, and Dongting oranges. Later, she couldn't hold them all, so she hired a porter to carry two big baskets on a pole. Follow behind, and when you swim to the rise, you are not limited to eating.There is no curfew in Langya city, the night market is very hot, and the annual lotus viewing festival is held every year. The stalls sell everything. You are happy to see Lie Xinxi, rare antiques, finely painted silk fans, and you can buy them as soon as you see them. Even joined in the fun and played a game of flutter.

This level of competition is a kind of folk gambling. The two parties negotiate the price of a kind of goods and set a bet to determine the winner or loser.

If the buyer wins, the goods belong to the buyer without paying; if the seller wins, the buyer pays and does not get the goods.

Shen Xu didn't even know what Guan Pu was at first, he just took a few more glances at the glazed lotus lantern, and then he was stopped by the salesman. The salesman said that if the gentleman is lucky, he will give it away for free.

How can there be any reason in the world to give away for free?

No matter how stupid Shen Xu was, he knew that he could not take what was given for free, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

In the end, it didn't work because Yu Jinhuan stood still.

He also took a fancy to the radiant glazed lamp.

Shen Xu had a premonition at the time that it was over and he would be slaughtered.

The peddler set a price of three or two taels of silver, and rolled the dice to compare the size.

That's astronomical prices for a lamp.Three taels of silver is enough for half a month's rations for ordinary people.

Shen Xu's eyes darkened: "Brother Yu, why don't we..." Slip?

Yu Jinhuan opened his mouth, "Ten taels."

Shen Xu shut up: "..."

He's crazy.

"Ten taels?" The shopkeeper also thought he was crazy, "My lord, this...is just a lotus lantern. Although it is made of colored glaze and the firing skills are superb, but..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yu Jinhuan thought he was too wordy, and dropped the silver ingot, "Ten taels, if I win the lamp, I will give it back. If you win, I will give you the money, and the lamp will return to me."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he felt that what was standing in front of him was not a person, but a big fat sheep exuding self-confidence.

Who wouldn't do a one-to-one deal?

What's more, it's still a profitable business!

"Okay, okay, since the gentleman is willing to raise the bet, the villain will accompany you to the end." The shopkeeper smiled and took out the dice cup.

After comparing the size, Shen Xu walked on the embankment angrily holding a lotus lantern worth twelve taels.

The setting sun is shining, the mist is vast, the evening mist is slanting, there are many tourists nearby, the shadows of the temples are full of fragrance, the lotus leaves meet the sky in the distance, and the red clouds reflect the water.The boats on the lake are full of paintings, connected head to tail, like a pontoon bridge, the sound of singing, flute and drums, vibrating far and near, and the fragrance of lotus, touching the hearts of the people.

"Why do you look unhappy?" Yu Jinhuan wondered.

Shen Xu expressionless: "I'm very happy."

Who dares to be unhappy when ten taels is exchanged for a lamp?

Yu Jinhuan didn't believe it: "Then just smile."

Shen Xu: "..."

He didn't smile, he laughed all the time, the deep laughter rang in his ears, very close, it went straight through the eardrums, and penetrated into people's hearts.

Shen Xu's ears turned red again.

"That salesman tampered with the dice." Shen Xu couldn't help but said, "No matter how many times you do it, you won't be able to win."

"I know." Yu Jinhuan said.

Shen Xu: "You know?"

Knowing that you are still taking advantage of it?Is it because the head is not big enough?

Yu Jinhuan was amused by his serious and angry look, his hands were itchy, and he wanted to pinch his face, but he held back, and coughed lightly: "Don't you like this lamp?"

"I like it..." Shen Xu stopped talking halfway, and frowned, "You played Guanpu with him because I like it?"

"If we listen to him and only bet two or three, we won't have any money, and we won't get the lamp." Yu Jinhuan said, "I want a lamp, so I have to find someone who can make him willingly hand it over even if I lose." The best way to get the best of both worlds."

"A lot of money to lure him." Shen Xu was stunned.

Yu Jinhuan nodded: "Do you understand now? What I bought was not a lamp, but something for him to make money tonight."

Shen Xu: "But ten taels is still a bit more expensive, and you don't have to..."

"Thousands of money can't buy a good heart, money is something outside of you, so you don't have to feel sorry for me." Yu Jinhuan interrupted him, jokingly said, "One day if I die and the money has not been spent, you will really feel sorry for me I."

"Really?" Shen Xu said indifferently, "Why do I think, compared to you, the situation where the money is spent and the person is still alive is worse?"

Yu Jinhuan was irrefutable: "Tsk, Xu Xu, I found that you have changed."

Shen Xu: "Changed?"

"Become eloquent." Yu Jinhuan turned the fan handle upside down and tapped him on the head, "Let's go."

Shen Xu: "Where are you going?"

Yu Jinhuan: "There are too many people here and it's too noisy. Let's go boating and set up a banquet, enjoy the moon and lotus, isn't it quiet?"

The two then rented an awning boat.

When I lifted the curtain and entered, there was already beer and side dishes in the cabin.

As soon as he was seated, the boatman came in with a pot of hot tea: "Good evening, both guests. Today is the Lotus Watching Festival. This is a special gift from the boatman for the 'Scaring Incense'. Please drink slowly."

"Shocking fragrance?" Shen Xu thought the name was interesting, took the fine porcelain teapot, lifted the lid, and there was a burst of fragrance, deep and mellow, and sighed, "Sure enough, it smells so fragrant!"

Looking down, I saw that the soup in the pot was green and clear, the tea leaves were curled, silver and green, and covered with fluff. Pour the tea into the bowl, take a sip, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the bottom of the tongue produces fluid.

"This is Biluochun." Yu Jinhuan said, "It comes from Biluofeng, and it is curled like a snail, so it gets this name. It's just that people like to call it a frightening fragrance, because its fragrance is so strong. If you like it, Just taste it slowly, brew it after drinking it, but drinking tea can refresh you, be careful not to fall asleep at night."

"You don't drink well, so don't be greedy." Shen Xu put down the tea, glanced at the hip flask.

The scene of Yu Jinhuan pouring a cup last time is still vivid in his memory, and Shen Xu still has lingering fears, fearing that he will admit his mistake and put him on the couch again.

Yu Jinhuan knew what he was worried about and smiled without saying a word.

The black-covered boat left the shore and swayed towards the center of the lake. The singing and dancing gradually faded away. Looking from the small carved window, you can see lotus flowers half the height of a person, lotus leaves as big as oil-paper umbrellas, duckweed, reeds, Wild rice stems criss-crossed and covered the waterways. Shen Xu grew up on the Xuanjing Peak since he was a child. He had never seen such a waterside lake view. It was quite novel. He couldn't stay inside, so he went out of the cabin and sat on the bow.

Yu Jinhuan also came out with him, with an extra ebony Yaoqin in his arm.

The Qin was bought at the market just now, and while Yu Jinhuan disliked its poor quality, he also felt that the carving of the phoenix wearing a peony on the body of the Qin is graceful and vivid, which fits his identity very well.Rich people generally don't look at the shortcomings when buying things. They just need a reason to buy it, no matter how good or bad the reason is, as long as they can find it, that's enough.

"You want to play the piano?" Shen Xu raised his head and asked.

Yu Jinhuan walked up to him, sat on the ground, put the piano on his lap, plucked a string, and asked, "Do you have any music you want to hear?"

"Can you play whatever I want to hear?" Shen Xu turned his head, staring at his side face illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yu Jinhuan hummed.

"Okay." Shen Xu said, "Then play a song—Feng Qiuhuang."

Yu Jinhuan paused slightly with his hand caressing the strings, and said calmly, "Why do you want to hear this?"

With the light behind him, Shen Xu couldn't see clearly the expression on his face: "If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you change..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of the piano started.

The song "Feng Qiuhuang" is blazing and charming, deeply lingering, expressing the pain of longing and longing.

The phoenix, the phoenix, returns to its hometown, and travels around the world, seeking its phoenix.

The qin wave progressed layer by layer, and erupted suddenly, like murmurs finally turned into loud chants, piercing the thin layer of window paper.

With a surge of emotion, Shen Xu stepped into the cabin and drew his sword.

The sword can sweep the formation to kill the enemy, and it can also dance to please beautiful women.

The sun has set, the moon is on the top, and the lotus fragrance is floating.

He dances with the music, stabs and slashes, cooperates with the light work of the mind, turns and moves, and rides the waves. His body style is clean and sharp without losing the beauty of rhythm and rhythm. Cleansing, three-point leisurely and elegant, charming and charming, Tsinghua's unique vulgarity, like an exiled fairy under the moon.

The boatman at the stern was so fascinated by the sight that he unknowingly stopped the oar in his hand.

The awning boat floats in the middle of the lake.

Time stands still here.

Yujin caresses the piano.

Shen Xu danced the sword.

Just listen to the sound of the piano gradually slowing down, like a low voice, there is nowhere to express my youthful feelings, I can only talk to myself.

"clang--"

There is a sound of gold and stone cracking silk.

One of the strings snapped without warning.

A song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was not played until the end of the song.

With his sword in his hand, Shen Xu lowered it slowly from the night sky, tapped the lotus leaf with his toes, and the bright white moonlight shone on him. He stood on the lake in front of Yu Jinhuan, looking down.

"You haven't finished playing." Shen Xu panted slightly, with cautious probing in his eyes.

The strings are not broken by themselves, but by internal force.

He saw it.

Shen Xu plucked up his courage, followed Yu Jinhuan's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why..."

He wanted to know the answer, but didn't want to.

He had already guessed that the answer would not be what he expected.

The air was silent for a few breaths, Yu Jinhuan finally raised her eyes to meet him, her thin lips parted slightly, her voice was colder than this cool Yuehua.

He said: "Enough."

The author has something to say: Fenggou, you will regret it!Did you hear that?You waste Empress Fei!
