Mirror Dreams

Lin Yun, Lin Fangyu, Sun Wenqi, Sun Wenjing, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at Qinchun Garden.

As soon as you enter the main hall, you will see a calligraphy and painting, which is the poem "Wang Haichao" written by Liu Qiqing of this dynasty.

"The shape of the southeast, the capital of Jiangwu, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Yanliu painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald curtains, with 10 homes. Clouds and trees surround the embankment, raging waves roll with frost and snow, and the sky is boundless. The city is full of pearls, and the households are full of Luoqi , Competing for luxury. /Chonghu Lake is stacked in Qingjia, there are Sanqiu osmanthus, ten miles of lotus. Qiang Guan clears up, water chestnut sings in the night, playing and fishing for old people and lotus babies. Thousands of horses have high teeth, listen to flutes and drums while drunk, and enjoy the haze .In the future, I will return to Fengchi to praise the good times."

Sun Wenqi noticed that Bai Yutang had been staring at the calligraphy and painting, so he asked, "Yutang, what are you looking at?"

"I'm checking to see if it's authentic." Bai Yutang replied.

"I asked an expert from Qiantang to paint this painting. As for the words, they quoted Liu Yong, and my elder brother wrote the inscription, imitating others' arty style." Sun Wenqi replied.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Sun's handwriting is so vigorous and powerful, I have to admire it." Bai Yutang said.

"Of course." Sun Wenjing said proudly, "My eldest brother's calligraphy has been taught by a famous calligrapher."

Bai Yutang nodded.Sun Wenqi asked: "Yutang, whose authentic work are you talking about?"

"I thought Liu Qi wrote it to you personally!"

"I don't even have the chance to see him!"

"That's right, Lord Liu only wrote inscriptions for the fireworks girl." Lin Yun joked.

"Hahaha, come here, everyone, please sit down." Sun Wenqi smiled and invited everyone to take their seats.

Afterwards, everyone sat according to guest and host. The main hall is actually very simple and symmetrical.In addition to an ancient blue and white porcelain vase between two adjacent chairs, the decorative curtain made of royal blue pearls and jade is the most luxurious.

I saw Sun Wenqi speak first and said: "I won't say too many polite words. My Qinchun Garden has just been completed, and I want to take this opportunity to gather with you. If you have nothing else to do, Zhan Daxia and Yutang, you are here Stay for a few days."

"Anyway, I'm fine." Bai Yutang was not polite at all, and then looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was stunned: It would be bad if he said staying, but if he leaves, he still doesn't know when he will meet Yu'er again...

Bai Yutang immediately understood and said, "Brother Zhan and I made an appointment to come to Hangzhou to play. If the second brother doesn't mind the trouble, we brothers will stay."

"What are you talking about?" Sun Wenqi said happily, "What's the trouble? We just took this opportunity to get closer to Daxia Zhan."

Zhan Zhao saluted and said, "Then I will disturb you, brother."

"Don't disturb." After that, Sun Wenqi ordered his servants to tidy up the two upper rooms and let everyone stay first.

Later, everyone became familiar with each other. When asked about their ages, it turned out that the four of them were all born in the year of Renzi. Then they asked about the month: Lin Yun on February [-]th, Sun Wenqi on March [-]th, Zhan Zhao on October [-]th, and Baiyutang on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. , everyone will be called brothers according to the month.

It was only later that I found out that Sun Wenqi stayed with them to hold a small birthday party for himself, and it was also an excuse to have fun in the garden, and by the way, he gave a small courtyard to his sister and cousin.

In the afternoon, Sun Wenqi took them to visit the other scenery of Qinchun Garden, except for the courtyards given to Lin Fangyu and Sun Wenjing: Nuanyu Pavilion and Jingyaxuan.Going north from the right door of the hall, you will see a river running through the whole garden, named "Biquan". The water is crystal clear, and willows are reflected in the water along the way.

I only heard Lin Fangyu say: "Clear water produces lotus roots, and clear springs reflect willow branches."

Sun Wenqi said softly to his followers, "Just write it down."

Seeing a bird in front of him tap the spring water, he flew up to the plane tree with a carp in his mouth, knocked off a few leaves, and the leaves floated into the water, Zhan Zhao blurted out: "The bird is going to catch the fish, and the plane tree is bringing the leaves. "

The leaves fell into the water and flowed southward. A butterfly chased after a while and flew to the lotus leaf. Lin Fangyu said: "The green boat goes with the waves, and the butterflies live together."

Zhan Zhao didn't speak anymore, he was not speechless, but worried that others would misunderstand that he was deliberately showing off his literary talent.

At this time, everyone was waiting for Zhan Zhao, but he never spoke.

Bai Yutang said with a smile: "A talented man has poor words, but a beautiful woman has a court merchant."

As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Yun got a sentence: "Yutang's words are wrong, but Lin Yun's meaning is different."

"Hahaha!" Sun Wenqi originally thought that everyone would be elegant today, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by these two people, which added a bit of fun, so he said: "Such poems are written like this, laughing at Confucius and Mencius at death."

"Second brother." Sun Wenjing saw that her elder brother changed from five words to seven words, so she increased it to nine words: "In the past, Zhuang Sheng was fascinated by butterflies in his dreams, but now my cousin is playing with mice by the river." Who made Bai Yutang's nickname "Jin Jin" What about "mouse"?As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

Sun Wenqi clapped his hands and applauded, saying: "Good catch, good catch. Since everyone knows a thing or two about poetry, why don't we play poetry games like literati?"

"Good idea." Bai Yutang was the first to respond.

But Lin Yun said: "The paper is orthodox, and I think I am not as good as Yu'er. If I stick to words, I will admit defeat. If it is a martial arts competition, I will not be afraid."

Bai Yutang said: "Since sister Yu'er has a good literary talent, why don't you let the talented girls from Fengxiang compete with our talented scholars from Changzhou. This north-south confrontation is also interesting."

"When did you become Changzhou again? When did you change your hometown?" Lin Yun remembered that he seemed to be from Jinhua, Zhejiang.

"What? I was from Changzhou when I was a child." Bai Yutang replied.

"What a narcissist!" Sun Wenqi said.

"Second brother, I didn't say I was the genius." Bai Yutang answered and pointed out Zhan Zhao to everyone.

"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense, my younger brother is not a genius." Zhan Zhao said modestly.

Lin Yun suddenly remembered some rumors in the Jianghu: Nan Xia is from Wujin, Changzhou, and his martial arts are very unpredictable. Since he became famous in the Jianghu for two or three years, he has hardly met an opponent.There are rumors that he won the first prize in the military officer election in Bianjing last year, but then wandered around in the rivers and lakes for some reason.The martial arts test in Bianjing was not the emperor's will, but a method chosen by the local military officer. It not only tests martial arts, but also must pass the essay, otherwise it will be eliminated in the primary election.Now Yutang said that he is a talented scholar in Changzhou. Could it be that he is a person with both civil and military skills?

Bai Yutang added: "My eldest brother used to be a young Tanhua Lang, very famous in our Changzhou." It seems that Bai Yutang intends to sell Zhan Zhao and keeps boasting.

"Huh?" Sun Wenqi stared straight at both eyes: Oh my god, I didn't expect Nan Xia to be so secretive!

"More than that?" Lin Yun continued, "I heard that he won the championship in the martial arts test in the capital last year."

"It's just a fluke, it's not worth mentioning." Zhan Zhao didn't know how to reply, so he had to say so.

"Wen Tanhua, is that just a fluke? If we want to do this, we really need to see your Tanhualang's pen skills." Sun Wenqi really wanted to see his writing skills, perhaps no one could match him.

"This... how dare my little brother show off in front of everyone?"

"You don't need to be modest." Sun Wenqi pulled Zhan Zhao and said, "There are eight scenic spots in Qinchun Garden. Except for three places, you can't enter for the time being, and the rest can be seen at a glance. This green spring is one of them, running through the whole garden. Let's go to the Yanyu Pavilion first." Sun Wenqi pulled Zhan Zhao up to the Yanyu Pavilion.

Yanyu Pavilion is located on the rockery on the left side of Biquan. This rockery is named "Fengshan". From this side, it looks like a phoenix lying on Biquan. On the top of the phoenix, there is a very unique octagonal pavilion, which is the Yanyu Pavilion.If it is raining, this is the best place to enjoy the rain in the whole garden.

I saw Lin Fangyu boarding the Yanyu Pavilion, looked south and said: "The smoke is misty and the rain is miserable. When will the willows be thin? The clear water is long and spring is here. Fengshan Road, the misty rain tower is visited by tourists."

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao thought to himself: What a song "Partridge Cry", so he casually said a double tune:

"What a partridge is singing, misty rain is desolate and dreamy. Looking back at the misty rain in Fengshan Mountain, it is sparse. The willows are drunk with flowers and streams. / Learning to write ancient poems, drunk lying in the world of mortals, no one knows. Confused in the dream, insane outside the dream."

Lin Fangyu thought to herself: This Changzhou talented man really deserves his reputation, he can fill in double tunes casually, I really can't compare with him, so he sang a song in a low voice: "I advise you not to lament the worldly affairs, it seems like a dream but not a dream, and you are also infatuated. Be patient. The spring rain urges the flowers to go, and the peach blossoms on the human face know each other."

Although the sound is small, it can still be heard by those who practice martial arts.After hearing this, Lin Yun thought to himself: It seems that my sister has secretly agreed, but how can a man in the world like Zhan Zhao settle down for a woman?What's more, he is still so young, he has only been in Jianghu for two or three years, it is impossible to give up his reputation and status in Jianghu for Yu'er.If I had to choose between Yang Jiaqi and Zhan Zhao, I would rather choose Yang Jiaqi, at least I can be sure that Yang Jiaqi likes Yu'er.So he put his arms around Yu'er and said, "I'm sorry, it's time for Yu'er to take her medicine. You enjoy the scenery slowly, and our brother and sister will be excused first." After finishing speaking, he took Lin Fangyu away.

Sun Wenqi seemed to know what the second cousin was thinking, so he said, "Come on, I'll take you to Zuichunfang, that's my favorite place."

After they went down the mountain, Bai Yutang held his stomach and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, why don't you go first, and I'll come later." He left after speaking.After that, Sun Wenqi and Sun Wenjing took Zhan Zhao to Zuichunfang.

In fact, Bai Yutang went after Lin Yun.In the corridor in the front yard, I saw Lin Yun helping Lin Fangyu sit down, Lin Yun asked: "Yu'er, tell the truth to the second brother, do you like Zhan Zhao?"

Lin Fangyu didn't answer, but her face was already red.

Lin Yun put his arms around his sister and said, "Listen to Second Brother, don't have any poems with Zhan Zhao tomorrow, okay?"

"Why?" Lin Fangyu understood what the second brother meant, but she still wanted to ask clearly.

"You are still young, there are some things you don't understand. Every man has some ink in his stomach, and any man who has read books for a few years knows 'Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman is good.' More What's more, what about a talented person like Zhan Zhao? Some people are gentlemen on the surface, but they are actually more villainous than a villain in their hearts. You have never been in contact with people in the Jianghu, and you don't understand how people in the Jianghu think." Lin Yun said seriously .

Lin Fangyu wanted to tell what happened at Cuiping Peak back then: "Actually, me and..."

"In any case, the second brother doesn't want you to like him," Lin Yun interrupted his younger sister, thinking to himself: My younger sister met Zhan Zhao when she first came to Hangzhou and got along with him, so I can't let my younger sister who is just in love fall into him again, so I said : "Whether you have been with Zhan Zhao or not before, it means the past, and it does not mean that you can be together. If you have to marry someone named Yang in the future, the second brother can only bless you."

"Don't you disagree with me being with Brother Yang?" Lin Fangyu said in a low voice.

"Sister, you are weak. If you are with Zhan Zhao in the future, not only will you not be able to recuperate with peace of mind, but you will also live in fear. So... If you choose between Yang and Zhan Zhao, I would rather you marry The surname is Yang." Lin Yun clearly knew what a person in the Jianghu needed, and it was impossible to walk the Jianghu with Zhan Zhao with his younger sister's body.

Lin Fangyu didn't say anything, and thought to herself: If I could really choose, I would rather choose to be with the person I like.Even the days of fear and fear are happy.But God only gave me the right to like, but forgot to give me the right to choose.She didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Yu'er, it's not that the second elder brother didn't let you choose Zhan Zhao." When Lin Yun saw his sister's sad eyes, he felt very uncomfortable: Why is it like this?Originally, Zhan Zhao and Yu'er were supposed to be talented and beautiful, but one was in the arena, and the other was... After a while, Lin Yun said: "Well, I'll try him, if he really has feelings for you, the two Brother decides to let you stay together; otherwise, sister, let God decide your life, okay?" He still loves his sister.

I saw Lin Fangyu also nodded, it would be great if she could get her wish, otherwise... let the feelings in my heart be buried forever in this Qinchun Garden.

Later, Lin Yun sent Lin Fangyu back to Qingpingju, which was the place where they lived when they came in. There was also a calligraphy and painting in the main hall, which was also a poem "Qingpingle"

"Spring breeze and autumn rain. See each other faintly. Plum snow is flying and pines and cypresses are green. Only the north wind keeps it. / Look at the sadness in Jun's dream. The blue clouds and red leaves are long. Let's ask the cold winter again, where does the spring breeze stay?"

There are seven small courtyards under it: two gardens, two halls and three gardens. The name is taken from the only seven-character sentence in the poem "Plum Snow Piaofei Songbaicui", saying: Meiyuan, Xueyuan, Piaoxiang Pavilion, Yanfei Pavilion, Pine Garden, Cypress Garden, Biyuan.Sun Wenqi lives in Meiyuan, Lin Yun lives in Xueyuan, Sun Wenjing and Lin Fangyu live in Piaoxiang Pavilion, and Wenqi arranges Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in Yanfei Pavilion.

After that, Lin Yun went to Zuichunfang to find other people.When he arrived at Zuichunfang, he found that Zhan Zhao wrote an inscription for Zuichunfang on this boat. Seeing Bai Yutang and Sun Wenjing chatting, Lin Yun said to Wen Qi, "How is Zhan Zhao's character?"

Sun Wenqi said: "It's not as romantic and unrestrained as you and me. There is a Confucian style in the poems. If Yu'er can win the hearts of talented scholars, it will become a good story in the future. Needless to say, Nan Xia's martial arts will have the opportunity to learn from each other in the future; On the one hand, he is not only proficient in poetry, but also in rhythm."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Just now I asked Xiao Man to play a self-compiled "Spring River Flower and Moon Night", which is slightly different from the original Spring River song in the Tang Dynasty, but he can hear it. Don't you think it is proficient?" Wen Qi said with a smile.

"What is this doing?"

"Ask him to write an inscription for Zuichunfang." Wen Qi said again.

I saw that Zhan Zhao wrote a song "Drunken Spring Breeze" (that is, Drunken Flower Yin)

"A spring river with flowers and moonlit night. A few roads of peach blossom pavilions. The clear water brings back the spring, with whom to flow alone, and watching the moon when drunk. / Hibiscus lightly lifts the peach blossom leaves. The termite boat rests. Watching the green curtains and red curtains, singing and dancing, peace, dreams Fascinated by butterflies."

This word is completely different from the previous ones, it is more representative, and it is written on the spot.

"It's such a green curtain and red curtain, singing and dancing are peaceful, and you are fascinated by butterflies in your dreams." I saw Sun Wenqi praised this sentence.

"It's a good word." Lin Yun also said, "Brother Zhanxian, you really are a talented person. The word is good, I, Lin, have been convinced. I used to only obey my sister-in-law, but today I saw another person who is convinced. What a gifted person, Yutang, you big brother is really all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Would you like to see Nan Xia's skills someday?" Lin Yun just wanted to see if this Nan Xia had earned his reputation in vain.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day," Bai Yutang said, "How about your cousins ​​and our brothers competing together?"

"If you want to compete in martial arts, you can't do it here, the space is too small." Sun Wenqi said, "There is one last scene that I haven't visited, and that is a good place for a martial arts competition. " Sun Wenqi said to Sun Wenjing again: "Go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready. After a while, Wu will call Yu'er and go to the restaurant to have dinner together." .After that, the four boys went to Xiaochongshan.

This small mountain is a courtyard with corridors all around for resting. It is composed of half rockery and half flat ground. If it is a martial arts competition, it can be fully displayed.So the four of them cooperated in pairs and compared martial arts in the courtyard. The Nanxia and Chinchilla were both masters in the Jianghu, and the combination of the two is even more invincible.And Lin Yun has also been in the arena for several years. He is nicknamed the God of Dragon, Tiger and Leaping in the Clouds. Naturally, his kung fu is not bad, but Sun Wenqi's kung fu is slightly inferior, but his cooperation with Lin Yun is actually worthless.The four of them fought until the curtain fell, and there was no winner.Later, they were only forced to cease fighting, because they had a physical reaction, they were hungry and wanted to eat.The two ladies waiting in the restaurant couldn't help it, so they moved their chopsticks first.Unexpectedly, he picked it up, and four people came in.Sun Wenqi smiled and said: "There are no rules at home, let's eat!" Afterwards, several people went back to their rooms to rest after eating together.
