Cang Huang Ji one of the overlord supreme

The 17th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, spring.

Yingzhou West Lake, also known as Ruyin West Lake, is the confluence of Yinghe River, Qinghe River, Xiaoru River and Bailonggou River.The ancients had poems such as "The fragrance of the scorpion is fragrant and the painting is floating, so that you will no longer remember Yangzhou. You will exchange 24 bridges and moons for ten hectares of autumn in the West Lake." To praise its beauty is not inferior to Hangzhou West Lake.

Early in the morning, Shen Youhuai sent off the second sister and nephew, master and servant, dismissed the servants, walked along the shore of the lake, as if admiring the lake view, and walked aimlessly. I don't know how long it has passed. The rain fell quietly, making this piece of lakes and mountains hazy, beautiful and nostalgic.

Shen Youhuai's family is full of officials from generation to generation, with a scholarly family. His grandfather was a famous Confucianist at that time. He was the ancestor of the dynasty, Emperor Gao. Shen Youhuai returned to his ancestral home in Yingzhou, but died of illness within two years.

Ever since Shen You had memories, he remembered that his father, Shen Xiaolin, expressed his boredom of officialdom and the idea of ​​resigning from office and returning to his ancestral home in front of his only son many times after dinner.As long as he mentioned the mountains, rivers, rivers and customs of his hometown, his father's eyes would always show infinite yearning unabashedly, which made him, a son, secretly wonder whether his father had lived in his hometown when he was a child.However, he clearly knew that his father, like him, had never been to Yingzhou, his ancestral home, and his many good impressions were just what he heard from others. Grandfather or great-grandfather too.

Shen Xiaolin is a kind-hearted, kind-hearted scholar, but maybe because he has been burdened by officialdom all his life, he doesn't want his son not to get involved in it.His father was different from most fathers who expected their son to become a dragon. He had no intention of asking his son to be named Guangzong Yaozu on the gold list, so he was always very lenient in education for his only son, Shen Youhuai.But because he can only stay at home, he has no playmates of the same age at all, except for a few servants chosen by his father himself.No matter how lenient the family style of the Shen family is to the servants, it is rare for a man to talk to a servant, so Shen Youhuai's play is nothing more than extensive reading of the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry playing and singing, etc. .

Regardless of whether he was in the capital or returned to Yingzhou, Shen Xiaolin strictly forbade his son to go out privately, basically keeping him at home for a long time.It can be seen from the fact that he has grown up so much, except for the necessary visits of a few relatives and close friends in Beijing during the New Year and holidays, he almost never stays out of the house.So even the cousins ​​of the same generation were very unfamiliar to Shen Youhuai.In the past, Shen Youhuai was young and had no other thoughts except obeying his father's order. Soon after returning to Yingzhou, Shen Xiaolin fell ill and was bedridden. Shen Youhuai cooked medicine and gave soup, and served him personally.After Shen Xiaolin's death, Shen Youhuai kept his filial piety for three years, and under the pain of losing his father, he had no intention of interacting with the outside world at all, so although he had lived here for a few years, he was still very unfamiliar with the outside world.

Shen Youhuai's endowment is extremely high, and his understanding is extraordinary. No matter what he learns, he can draw inferences from one instance and master it well.He is easy-going and optimistic by nature, open-minded and generous. Under his father's example and loose education, he was born in a splendid environment without any flashy air.

Shen Youhuai's biological mother died of illness shortly after he was born. He has no brothers, only two older sisters, both of whom were already married. The second sister, Shen Xiuying, and her 11-year-old nephew were sent away just now. They followed Ren Yongzhou Tong San's husband lived in the Yongzhou mansion. This time he came back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestor's grave and stayed there for a few days, mainly because he was worried about the only younger brother left in the family.

Because Shen Youhuai was born relatively late, his father only gave birth to him when he was 38 years old. There is a big age difference between him and his two older sisters. The elder sister is 20 years older than him. She was almost 17 years old and was about to get married, and it was impossible for a married woman to go back to her mother's house often. In Shen Youhuai's impression, she had never met her two older sisters in total when she was a child, so the relationship between the siblings was very weak.

However, during the few days when the second sister, mother and son came home for a short stay, Shen Youhuai finally realized the meaning of the words "blood is thicker than water", which made him feel that he is not alone in this world, at least he still has two Sister of the same blood.

Thinking of the appearance of the second sister when she was parting, she really felt like a mother worrying about her son, Shen Youhuai couldn't help shaking her head and smiling bitterly.

Suddenly, a trace of music came into his erratic thoughts, which cleared Shen Youhuai's mind.After listening carefully, I could tell that it was the sound of the flute. On the surface of the lake, along with the warm spring breeze and the erratic rain, it was indescribably pleasant and pleasant to the ear.

Shen Youhuai has an excellent melody, and he himself can play the piano well. Listening carefully now, he can only feel that the sound is melodious and smooth, fresh and elegant, but the score is very strange, as if he has never heard it before. This water, this feeling and this scene are more natural and harmonious, which makes people forget their worries.

Attracted by the sound of the flute, Shen Youhuai unconsciously followed the wonderful sound. As the sound of the flute became clearer and brighter, Shen Youhuai knew that the flute player should be nearby. In the gazebo, facing Yingying Lake, there is a person sitting.

The scenery in front of me is a painting: distant mountains, near water, colorful fallen leaves, misty rain, and an elegant scholar sits alone by the lake, playing the jade flute horizontally. That unknown worldly pure land...

This is not only a living picture scroll, but also a living picture scroll with the beauty of rhythm!

Shen Youhuai was deeply intoxicated by this indescribable painting "Spring Water, Misty Rain".

After an unknown period of time, the sound of the flute gradually stopped, and looking from the side, the man slowly put down the white jade flute in his hand.If Shen Youhuai lost something, he was wondering if he had accidentally made a noise that disturbed others, but he heard the person suddenly sigh slowly, and said in a slow voice: "The West Lake is good after Qunfang is over. It is messy and red, flying catkins are misty, and weeping willow railings are all gone." The wind blows in the sun. The music and music are gone, and the tourists go away, and the spring sky is felt; the curtains are drawn down, and the two swallows return in the drizzle."

The comfortable, lazy and beautiful voice is light and ethereal, with a hint of magnetism and abstinence, continuous and intermittent, continuously passed into Shen Youhuai's ears. For a moment, he completely forgot when and where he was. The environment, actually listening to completely crazy.

Since then, this scene has been deeply seared in Shen Youhuai's heart, no matter how twists and turns the future fate is, it can't make the painting and the people in the painting any less attractive.

The man seemed to have sensed something, turned his head slightly, and saw standing under the flower tree not far away was a boy of about seventeen or eight years old with plain color and handsome.

I saw that he was tall and tall, his eyebrows flew into his temples, his face was like a crown jade, and his eyes were like stars.It may be because of crossing the flower tree, the hair bun was touched by the branches and leaves, a few strands of black hair fell down and stuck to his cheeks wetly, and his clothes were also quite damp, but it didn't affect his elegance and extraordinaryness at all. tolerance.

The man looked at Shen Youhuai, and Shen Youhuai was also looking at him, only then was he surprised to find that it turned out to be a young man who looked younger than himself, about 15 years old, with a dark yellow complexion and delicate facial features, looks……

The eyes of the two met, a strange look flashed in the boy's eyes, Shen Youhuai shuddered for no reason, and he dared not look at each other.

To be honest, the young man's eyes are very beautiful, black and white, bright and clear, seem to be clear at a glance, but also seem to be bottomless, but these are not the reasons that make Shen Youhuai feel awe-inspiring, but why do you have the feeling just now, Shen Youhuai himself It's not clear, if you want to explore the past carefully, but there is no trace to be found, and that feeling is only for a short moment, and you can't feel it at this moment.

Is it my own illusion, after all, the other party is just a child younger than myself?Shen You thought suspiciously for a long time, then shook his head secretly.Suddenly found that the boy was looking at him strangely, felt a little shy, and smiled at him without thinking about it, trying to cover up his stupidity.

The young man looked at Shen Youhuai even more strangely, and seemed to have a hint of a smile. Shen Youhuai blushed a little, and before he had time to think about it, he turned around and fled with his head down.

What a shame!

Along the way, Shen Youhuai thought that at first he stared and peeped at people like an unmannered and uneducated person, and when he was discovered, he looked dumbfounded and stupid, and even smirked at people like an idiot, and the worst thing was that he even explained No one turned around and slipped away like a thief, what an annoyance!

So the next day, Shen Youhuai spent in such a mood of self-pity.

The next day was sunny and sunny, and Shen Youhuai got up early in the morning to put incense on the tablet of his parents, and then went out after breakfast by himself, without a single attendant, wandering back to the lake side.

After yesterday's depression during the day and night reflections, Shen Youhuai decided to come here again today. If he happens to meet that boy again, he can apologize for his disrespect yesterday, and then hope to enjoy the wonderful flute sound again. It would be even more ideal to start friendship with him from the rhythm.

As for why he couldn't forget so much about a boy who met by chance and didn't even say a word, Shen Youhuai didn't even think about it.But the premise must be to meet that boy by chance. The word "coincidental" is very important. However, reality often backfires, and today is just not a coincidence.

Shen Youhuai circled within a range of [-] feet around the gazebo, his mouth was dry, his tongue was dry, he was dizzy, and he didn't happen to be lucky enough to meet him by chance. After being disappointed, his eyes stayed on the surface of the lake dully, as if he was pinning his hopes on the water under the water. Someone will suddenly emerge.

After staring blankly for a long time, not even a water ghost emerged from the bottom of the water, but there were gradually more tourists coming and going around.This West Lake in Yingzhou is a local scenic spot. In this late spring season, there are countless people who enjoy the flowers in spring, and there are even rich children in red and green, attracting bees and butterflies, calling friends and bringing three or five families. Passing by ostentatiously, seeing the complacent looks on their faces, it is obvious that they don't know how much they are spoiling the scenery.

Just when he saw this group of people appear, Shen Youhuai, who had not given up on leaving, lost all interest.

The scenery is the same, but because of the different tourists, this mountain and water immediately became one of the most popular scenic spots in the world.

Shen Youhuai left the lake with a sigh, and walked back, only then did he feel hungry. He looked up at the sun, and it was past noon. He really didn't expect that he had been out for so long.

At this time, Shen Youhuai regretted not being able to meet the boy again, but because he had tried his best to find him, he no longer cared about it.The word fate cannot be forced.
