Biganchun

A river of smoke trees in mid-April, red fragrance scattered, Biliu east.

The remaining veins of Luoshui are exactly Yincang River.The quiet flow is dark and the waves are calm, just like the accumulated rhyme of Qingyao and the emerald jade.The morning light is gentle, and the spring and scenery are bright, which is the most beautiful moment of the day.

At the beginning of the rising sun, a light boat on the river is reflected.The fishermen at the bow of the boat look out into the wind, as if they are distinguishing the distance between the two sides of the strait.

The golden light of the bright sun sprinkles on the black awning on the boat.Qingcheng stood at the stern of the boat, slightly lowered her head and put on her bamboo hat, walked to the stove, leaned over to put a few pieces of charcoal under the stove.There is light smoke in the stove, the porridge and rice are turning into paste, the fish fillets are like snow, warm and fragrant, and a bowl of perch porridge is being cooked.

Qingcheng took a closer look and saw that the fish porridge in the bowl was still waiting to be cooked, so she straightened up and put away a few pieces of clothes that were hanging to dry.While turning his eyes, he inadvertently saw the double-pipe Qiang flute on the sampan beside him.Zhan Zhao and her walked slowly down the stream from Yincangdu that day, and it has been more than a month now.In addition to gossiping in the boat every night, Zhan Zhao would occasionally play a flute or two at will.

She put down the things in her hands, picked up the Qiang flute, and slowly brought the hole of the flute close to her lips if she felt touched in her heart.

The sound of the flute gradually rose, and the temptation came out intermittently, but after a few sounds, it fell silent.

After the Xiang curtain was rolled up, Zhan Zhao passed through the cabin from the bow and stepped into the stern, but saw Qingcheng holding the Qiang flute in his hand, leaning on the side of the boat with his eyes closed, his brows were tightly frowned, his cheeks were pale, as if he was in pain.

He was startled, and quickly stepped forward to support her shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter, but is there any discomfort?"

Qingcheng breathed slowly, opened his eyes, and smiled faintly at him: "I tried to play this Qiang flute just now, but after playing a few times, I felt dizzy, and I don't know why?"

Zhan Zhao saw that her complexion gradually recovered, and his mood eased for a moment: "You don't know, this double-pipe Qiang flute is far more energy-consuming than the Central Plains single flute, and it is mostly played by men outside the Great Wall. You are not familiar with the law of luck. Try it, it’s inevitable.”

Qingcheng raised his hand and put the Qiang flute into Zhan Zhao's palm, and said flatly: "It can be seen that I have no destiny with this flute, and it is serious to return it to its original owner."

Zhan Zhao saw a trace of sadness in her expression, and said comfortingly: "The sky is getting longer, if you feel bored, I will buy a piano for you when I get to the town ahead."

Qingcheng shook his head and smiled: "I heard that the wind is rain, why bother to make a fuss? If the fish caught a few days ago were exchanged for silver today, it would be better to buy urgent things... Now that I think about it, I should have taken the jade pot out this time. The ice belt is by your side. The sound of the seven strings of the qin, Lingling lofty, it is really hard to forget..."

Zhan Zhao said quietly from the side: "I don't agree with what you say."

Qing Cheng was startled, and looked sideways at Zhan Zhao.He saw his brows frowned, and said slowly: "You can play any qin in this world, but I don't want you to touch that jade pot of ice again in your life."

Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of his words.She suppressed the smile on her lips, and said lightly: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhan is a gentleman, but when it comes to his mind, he doesn't seem to be so open."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and said, "There is no longer any Mr. Zhan in this boat... What's more, even a gentleman has something to cherish. I can open up to other things, but I can't open up to this matter."

Qingcheng glanced at him, shook her head and smiled.

She looked around the river, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she saw something, she got up, took off her clogs, and stood on the crossbar at the stern of the boat.The crossbar wasn't even a foot wide. She had long hair in a bun, barefoot in common clothes, and a blue belt around her waist. At first glance, she looked like a young fisherman.

Zhan Zhao was slightly startled, and stepped forward to hold her arm: "What are you doing?"

Qingcheng smiled and didn't answer, Lingbo stood upright, raised his hand to protect his lips, and blew a long whistle into the air behind him.

The sound of the whistle turned low and low, three or four egrets glided over suddenly, and they all landed on the ship's side amidst a long and leisurely cry, with their wings stretched.Qingcheng smiled lightly, stepped down from the sampan, picked out a handful of freshwater shrimps from a wooden barrel beside them, and threw them to the egret one by one to feed them.Egrets bend their necks and compete to peck each other, occasionally raising their wings and singing proudly.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, "Yesterday, I was busy for half a day before catching these green prawns. I didn't expect that it was not easy to come, but it was easy to go..."

Qingcheng made a round of feeding, and drove the egrets away with a wave of his sleeves.She stepped on the wooden clogs again, turned back and said, "In the world, there is something to be willing and something to gain. You know, among the waterfowl, egrets are the most lonely and seldom get close to people. Now they are willing to come here as soon as they are called, it is really a chance It’s rare. But why should your heart ache for a few freshwater shrimps?”

Zhan Zhao said with a faint smile, "These egrets landed on the boat, not because of these freshwater shrimps."

Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and said in wonder, "Oh, then why?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said: "Have you forgotten the water puppets you saw in Bianjing that year? This small boat looks ordinary, but it hides a glamorous style. The reason is the same for sinking fish today and falling geese today."

Qingcheng bit her lips slightly, shook her head and muttered: "Young children can't be taught, and it would be a waste of effort to talk to you any more."

She rolled up her sleeves to her arms, washed her hands with clean water, extinguished the fire, and scooped out two bowls of fish porridge from the bowl.Zhan Zhaozao turned up the table from under the sampan, took the porridge bowl and put it on the table, sprinkled some crystal crushed fine salt, and sat opposite Qingcheng on both sides.

Qingcheng mixed the salt grains into the porridge and blew it lightly, waiting for the porridge and rice to cool down. He raised his head and asked, "How far is the market in front?"

Zhan Zhao scooped up a spoonful of fish porridge, took a sip, and said, "If you go down the river from here, two or three miles away, you should be Shuangxi Town."

Qingcheng said: "Shuangxi Town... In this way, isn't it at the intersection of water and flow?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, Shuangxi Town is at the end of the Yincang River. Behind the town, the two streams converge, leading to the Bian River to the east, and a tributary of the Han River to the south."

He raised his head and said with a smile: "Today we buy useful things at the market, we can rest at the creek at night, and we can go south tomorrow morning... According to my calculation, even if we walk slowly, it will take less than a month. , and you will definitely be able to reach Pengli...there is a vast mist and boundless wind and moon, and it is the perfect place to spend summer."

Qingcheng said nothing, just nodded slowly.She and Zhan Zhao finished eating in a short while, cleaned up and tidied up, it was almost time.Zhan Zhao rowed the oar behind the cabin, and the wooden boat slowly moved forward, slowly approaching the stone ferry in front of the town.

Although this Shuangxi town is not very big, but because it is located at the confluence of two rivers, it is quite prosperous.There are dozens of passenger boats and fishing boats.The shadows of people on the shore come and go, and the noise and laughter can already be heard.Zhan Zhao moored the boat between several fishing boats, and firmly tied the cable at the bow of the boat to the wooden post at the ferry.

He lifted the trawl net from the water on the side of the boat, and poured all the thirty or forty live fish in the net into the bamboo basket on the bow of the boat.The fish came out of the water, collided with each other, and crackled in the basket.

Zhan Zhao covered the bamboo basket tightly, tied it firmly with ropes, turned around, and saw Qingcheng stepping out of the cabin.

He smiled faintly at her: "I've packed everything here, let's go ashore now."

But Qingcheng shook her head and said: "Now that things have happened, I don't want to see outsiders anymore. You can go, I will stay in the boat and wait for you."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's face was slightly condensed, she smiled and said: "I stay here, if there is any accident at the ferry, there will be someone to take care of me. Now this boat is where you and I belong, so there must be no more mistakes."

Zhan Zhao stood up and quietly looked into her eyes: "Is what you said the truth?"

Qingcheng met his gaze and said calmly: "I'll wait for you here. If you don't come back for a day, I'll wait for a day. If I don't return for ten years, I'll wait for ten years. How about it?"

Zhan Zhao's body trembled, he didn't expect that the conversation with Di Qing that day would be known to her.He was so entangled in his heart that he choked his throat for a while.

Qingcheng just spoke casually, but now he raised his eyes to see the expression on Zhan Zhao's face, and secretly felt regret in his heart.Between square inches, the two of them faced each other silently, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled and said, "That's fine. Other than firewood, rice, oil and salt, if you have anything you need, just let me know, and I'll get it back together."

Qingcheng nodded, took out a long note from her bosom, and handed it to Zhan Zhao: "I wrote it down early in the morning, just take this note with you."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it quickly, and saw that there were twenty or thirty names of herbs written on it.He murmured to read, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "... white peony root, gastrodia elata, scutellaria chinensis, gentian, asarum, chuanxiong, scrophulariae... along the two banks, medicine shops can be seen everywhere. If you need any medicine, you can find it at your fingertips." That's right. What's more, the boat is damp and prone to mildew, why do you need to buy so many medicinal materials now?"

Qingcheng frowned slightly: "You and I, who is more knowledgeable about medicine? These are all medicinal materials in the north, and the pharmacies in the south don't know if they are in stock. Buy some now, always be prepared, why are you so verbose."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and remained silent. When he looked down, he was even more surprised: "... ten feet of ramie rope, three hundred steel needles, ten iron hooks, ten steel cones, two mace hammers..."

He raised his head and looked at Qingcheng: "The medicinal materials just now are nothing more than that, what's the use of these things you want now? At a glance, this list doesn't look like what a girl needs, but it looks like an escort... "

Qingcheng frowned, stepped forward to take back the long note, and said: "That day when the foolish dog came to the street and barked at Mr. Chunyang, it can be seen that it is hard to be a good person, and it is the same in ancient and modern times... In the end, all your hard work is in vain. Return this note to me, and I don’t need to bother you any more.”

Seeing that she was annoyed, Zhan Zhao quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I was just confused for a while, and I didn't choose what to say. Please ask Miss Lu to clarify what these are for."

Qingcheng turned his back, couldn't help a smile on his face, but still deliberately said coldly: "In the past few days, most of your daily catches are perch with sharp teeth and fins, which are easy to damage the fishing net. I saw you for several nights, When mending the net until midnight, it is really disturbing to sleep. Then I remembered that in the past, I saw fishermen on the river making fishing nets with countless curved needles interlaced with ramie ropes. Tie it so as not to hurt the boatman's arm. This thousand-needle net is strong and durable, and it is supposed to be suitable for fishing perch. I meant it with good intentions, but I didn't expect that some people would not appreciate it..."

Zhan Zhao turned in front of her and said with a smile, "So that's it. I thought my horizons were quite broad, but I didn't expect that compared with you, I would be like a frog in a well. If I don't listen to your explanation and fall into that ecstasy, It's not the fish, it's me... You just give me the note, and I'll go to the street to buy the fish after I sell them, so I won't say much more."

Qingcheng avoided his gaze, and said leisurely: "It's too late for you to regret it now."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I just read it, and I have it in my heart. But besides those just now, do you want anything else?"

Qingcheng glanced at him, and said lightly: "For the guards, these are enough. Even if you buy the things that the girl's family needs, I won't be able to enjoy them."

Her eyes fluttered, smiling and angry, Zhan Zhao looked at each other quietly, suddenly feeling uncontrollable, leaned down, and pressed a kiss on her lips lightly.

At this time, people coming and going at the ferry are all in front of them.Qingcheng never thought that he would make such a move, and was stunned, but did not have time to dodge.When she came back to her senses, Zhan Zhao chuckled lightly, let her go, bent over to pick up the fish basket, turned her head and went ashore.

Qingcheng looked up and looked around, but luckily no one seemed to pay attention to the situation just now.For a moment, her cheeks were dizzy, and her heart was both sweet and bitter. Standing alone on the bow of the boat, her heart was turning a lot, and she shed tears in a daze.

After a long while, she let out a long sigh, and went back to the cabin, slowly arranged the clothes for the two to dry, then swept the boat clean, sat idly at the stern, and carefully peeled and picked the remaining green shrimp in the wooden barrel. Clean the thread one by one, soak it with rice wine and green salt, and put it in a cool place under the cabin.

The spring day is gentle, and it is already past afternoon.She didn't see Zhan Zhao coming back, so she felt that she didn't have any appetite, so she didn't prepare lunch, she just cooked some tea and sat in the cabin with a cup, lost in thought.

Narrow one cabin, narrow two couches.For the past few days, the two of them have slept on the same couch every night, safe and sound.At this time, the fragrance of tea is faint, filling the whole cabin, and it is quiet and fragrant.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a commotion outside.Qingcheng's heart moved, she got up and stepped out of the cabin.I saw four or five people in official uniforms standing on the ferry. They seemed to be servants in the town. The leader stood on the stone steps and raised his voice: "All the boatmen in the boat come out, the master has something to say!"

But for a while, all the fishermen in the left and right boats came out and stood at the bow of the boat.I just heard the yamen servant say loudly: "Listen, from now on, if you want to sell fish in the town, you must first go to the town yamen to approve a fish selling warrant. If you don't get a warrant, go to the fish market to trade All of them will be detained as smugglers! Do you all understand?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the fishing furniture were chattering, and a fisherman asked: "Master, haven't you been selling fish at the fish market in the past two years, and then converting the fish tax according to the money sold? Why has it changed?" gone?"

The yamen servant said with a sneer: "It's not the same as before. Fan Xianggong and Han Xianggong entered the cabinet in Beijing, announced the new policy to the world, and one of them was to re-order. We are a fishing village, and fishers and fishers are naturally criticized. The order is in line with the New Deal. As for the fishing tax, you can pay as much as you need, even a copper coin! These things were posted on the ferry three days ago. .Today, there have been people smuggling in the fish market without order, and now they have been detained by the town government."

The fisherman said anxiously: "Master, our fishermen don't know a lot of big characters. You posted a notice, but we don't know what it said. Master, how should we deal with this order?"

The yamen servant said impatiently: "there is someone who handles it in front of the town yamen. When you go there, you can find out as soon as you ask. Listen carefully, only ten papers are approved every day. Don't blame others if you are late! There is a limit of one ten days, and if the time limit has passed, it will have to be approved again."

When the fishermen heard this, they shouted loudly.A fisherwoman screamed: "Master, there are at least a hundred fishing boats around here, and the fish is only sold for freshness. If only ten warrants are issued every day, how will we, the masters, live?"

The yamen servant smiled proudly: "The master of the town yamen also sympathizes with the hard work of your fishermen. If you are in a hurry to enter the market, you can go to the back door of the town yamen, and there will be one tael of urgent money for each boat, and you will be able to approve the warrant on the same day."

He suddenly turned pale, and said sharply: "Listen well, this new policy is a decree issued by the government. Anyone of you who wants to be troublesome is to resist the decree. How to deal with it, think about it yourself." After asking more questions, he led all the people behind him away, leaving only a group of fishermen complaining and hating in the ferry boat.

Qingcheng's heart darkened, and after thinking for a while, he reached out for a straw hat, abandoned the boat and landed, and went straight to the streets of the town.She was dressed in fisherman's clothes, half of her face was covered by a bamboo hat, and she was unnoticed by the crowd.She was in the boat for a short time, and she was not used to walking quickly with her clogs, so she walked slowly on the side of the street.

After turning down several long streets, it suddenly opened up in front of my eyes, and I was in front of the town yamen.I saw two notices hanging on the left and right of the gate of the town yamen, densely filled with regulations, presumably it was the laws of the New Deal.People flowed in and out of the town hall, bustling with people, and the sound of fighting and crying came out from time to time.There are more than ten wooden cases placed along the side of the Zuojin street, all sitting behind are saber and pen litigators, and some people surround each wooden case, talking long and short, and the business is surprisingly good.

Qingcheng was watching silently at the corner of the street. After an unknown period of time, she raised her head to look at the sky, and suddenly felt the sun glaring, burning her eyebrows.She trembled, and saw that there happened to be a tea shed a few steps away, so she went to find a stool and sat down.When Dr. Tea saw a visitor, he hurriedly made a pot of tea and brought it over.

Qingcheng took a few copper coins from his sleeve and put them on the case, dismissed Dr. Cha, leaned on the case to support his family, and closed his eyes to rest.There seems to be thousands of thoughts in my heart, wandering around, but it is difficult to break for a while.

Suddenly, someone in front of him quietly said: "Young lady looks kind, do you want to do a fortune-telling?"

She was slightly startled, and opened her eyes, only to see an old man standing in front of her, dressed in hexagram robes, holding a cloud banner, with a thin face, as if she had known him before.She was stunned for a while, then lost her voice: "Mr. Liu, is that you?"

The old hexagram master who unexpectedly reunited was actually Liu Yong whom Qingcheng met in Xiangyang Tianxiang Tower back then!

Liu Yong smiled faintly: "I haven't seen you for several years, so the girl will be fine?"

Qingcheng was filled with emotions for a moment, barely suppressed his emotions, and said with a smile: "I am just wandering in the world, but sir is becoming more and more immortal... Sir, please sit down, you and I will meet again in the teahouse, and we will talk about the fleeting years together."

Liu Yong smiled at Qingcheng, and sat down opposite her: "The old man has heard a lot of stories about the girl in the rivers and lakes over the years. When the old man said goodbye to the girl in Tianxiang Pavilion, the girl must have understood the meaning of it now... ..."

Qingcheng lowered his brows and smiled, poured a cup of tea for Liu Yong, and said lightly: "Thank you sir for your guidance that day... Now I have not only found the person you mentioned back then, but I also know that I can help him become more and more prosperous. Regret, it really is a blessing..."

She paused, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Liu, when did you leave Xiangyang? How did you get here?"

Liu Yongzhi took a sip from his cup and replied to her: "I left Tianxiang Tower a year ago and went north along the Han River, wandering around, doing divination for a living. I passed by here the day before yesterday, and wandered around at will. I just planned to I went to the ferry to take a boat to Xuzhou, but I didn't expect to meet you here..."

Qingcheng nodded and said: "So that's the case. I also came to this town for the first time today... It's strange, but it's just a small fishing town, but it's very lively near the yamen."

Liu Yong shook his head and sighed: "Shuangxi Town is not the only place that is so lively today? You may not know that after Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi returned to Beijing last month, the officials announced to the world and promulgated new policies. The first to bear the brunt is Ming Dezhi , choose the chief. The top and bottom officials must be promoted before they can be promoted. Nowadays, the state governments in various places are busy to show their political achievements, and new tricks are emerging one after another, but it is hard for the people. In the new policy, there are still public lands, more farming and mulberry, and less Corvée and other laws, although the official intention is to care for the people's livelihood, have been downgraded layer by layer, and the taste has already changed. Now that the New Deal has not yet reached the full moon, the number of lawsuits between the government and the people has increased several times compared to the past. The land is already like this, the two capitals in the east and the west, and the important state capital, it is even more conceivable..."

Seeing that Qingcheng's face was getting darker, he changed the subject and asked, "Where is Miss going?"

Qingcheng sighed softly: "Borrowing from Mr. Caiyungui's words, unloading the clouds and sails, the water post and the fish town, the waves and the wind, the year is boundless."

Liu Yong said quietly: "Everywhere in life, you can meet again. Maybe when the old man will meet the girl again."

Qingcheng raised his eyebrows: "Sir, are you going to leave now? It's okay, just in a hurry, it's already a romantic relationship... Do you have any masterpieces recently, sir, can you leave it for Qingcheng as a farewell?"

Liu Yong shook his head and smiled: "I have not communicated with the old man for a long time, but meeting today, maybe I can test a word for the girl... Miss, please say a word, and the old man will test it for you."

Qingcheng pondered for a long while, then slowly said: "I am already a family on the water, why not just measure the word water."

Liu Yong raised his head and asked: "Miss, do you want to test the marriage, or Fulu?"

Qingcheng said slowly: "I want to test, advance and retreat."

Liu Yong nodded and said nothing, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "This word, it is the one who retreats, not the one who advances."

Qingcheng frowned and said, "How can you see that?"

Liu Yongdao: "The word for water, add a little to ice, walking is difficult, subtract a little to six, smooth and safe. It can be seen that the future is unpredictable if you go one step further, and the sea and the sky will be brighter if you take a step back."

Qingcheng's eyes trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Flowing water follows the wind, and flows in all directions, so how can we see who is advancing and who is retreating?"

Liu Yong said indifferently: "Advance and retreat are based on the heart, so as to transform the environment."

Qingcheng nodded and remained silent for a long time, then raised her head and asked, "Mr. Liu, do you know how long it will take to send a letter from here to Jiangnan?"

Liu Yongdao: "If you hire someone to take the post from here, I'm afraid it will take more than a month."

Qingcheng pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Mr. Liu, you just said you were going to Xuzhou tonight, didn't you?"

Liu Yong nodded and said: "That's right. Is there anything I can do for the girl?"

Qingcheng said: "When I was young, I would write a letter. Please send it to Shiliang Street in Xuzhou, sir. There is a shop that raises birds and birds. You will know as soon as you go there. I don't know if you are willing to help me?"

Liu Yongdao: "I sailed for two nights, and I can go to Xuzhou the next day. It's nothing to do with a little effort... But didn't you originally want to send the letter to Jiangnan, why did you send it to Xuzhou instead?"

Qingcheng said: "I will enclose this letter in it. When the shopkeeper sees that I have left a message in the attached letter, he will use Feishu to send a letter to Jiangnan for me. The journey of thousands of miles will be reached in a short time."

Liu Yong nodded and said: "So that's the case. Zheng Hongyuan believes in it and puts all his thought into it. I just don't know if this letter can solve the troubles of the girl when she advances and retreats?"

Qingcheng stood up quietly: "The place where the Lanzhou was urged to send out, why is it so hard to stay? Instead of looking forward to the extreme spring sorrow and thinking hard to return, it is better to look back suddenly...do you think so?"

The evening wind is like a complaint, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Zhan Zhao moored the boat in a secluded place in the river bay, packed it up at the bow, and went back to the stern through the cabin.

This day has twists and turns, and I will return at dusk.After dinner, he took a shower and changed his clothes. At this time, the night breeze was coming, and he felt refreshed.

The shadows on the stern were silent, with their wings fully retracted, it was the egrets in the morning who did not know when they followed and stopped on the boat to rest.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "These egrets came too late, they didn't catch up with the plate of top-quality drunken shrimp at night."

Qingcheng sat on the sampan with her knees hugged, looked up at the stars, and said quietly: "If you like it, I will make some more tomorrow."

Zhan Zhao sat down beside her: "You seem to be unhappy tonight, but are you still annoyed by what happened in the morning?"

Qingcheng didn't answer.The Xinghui was faint, only reflecting her dim eyes, but couldn't make out the expression on her face.

Zhan Zhao also looked up with her, and said leisurely: "Tomorrow, we will go south, and when we get to Pengli, we can go and see the place where the fisherman drums in the Song of Chu. The water of the Canglang is so clear that it can wash my tassels , after a hundred hearings, one can finally see it.”

Qingcheng suddenly said: "It's a pity that the world is difficult, and all the people with lofty ideals are hidden. Although the water in the Canglang is clear, no one invites you. What's the use?"

Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment, then said quietly: "What do you want to say, but it doesn't matter."

Qingcheng said: "You went to the town for a day, but you didn't say a word when you came back. If you want to talk, shouldn't it start with you?"

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and asked slowly, "Did you go to town?"

Qingcheng said: "I just walked in the street casually, what I saw and experienced will never be as wonderful as yours today."

Zhan Zhao sighed: "I originally thought that this matter must not be hidden from you... Yes, when I went to the fish market in the morning, I met a few government servants. They were arrogant and unreasonable, forcing the fishermen in the market to sell fish The warrant. The fishermen refused to comply, and were all detained by them in the town office, and I followed."

Qingcheng said lightly: "So that's the case. They don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and they must have regretted it later."

Zhan Zhao sighed sadly: "That's right, when I arrived at the town office, I first argued with the person who held the seal, but they didn't listen at all. I had no choice but to reveal my identity, but they were surprised. Seeing my face, not only The fishermen were released, and warrants were issued for them all."

Qingcheng took a deep breath: "So that's how it is... Those fishermen are favored by you, and they must burn incense to thank you tonight, and treat you as a noble person..."

She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhan Zhao: "You helped them today by chance, so who will help them tomorrow, the day after, and the day after? Those warrants are only valid for ten days, so what will happen after that? "

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Qingcheng said slowly: "What I want to say, you already knew it early on."

Zhan Zhao said quietly: "You and I have gone through a thousand things to be able to be in the same boat today. You are willing to let go, but I am reluctant... What's more, since I have left with the crown, I will not look back. How can a gentleman keep his word? Go back on what you said?"

Qingcheng said in a single word: "For the New Deal, for the people, and for yourself, it is worthwhile to go against your will, abandon your boat and return to the shore! Although everything is hard, don't change your original intention, this is you in my heart!"

Zhan Zhao let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "When I was in Yincangdu, I said that if you go back to Bianjing, unless you go back with me."

Qingcheng shook his head and said: "Under the current situation, how can I return with you? Master Bao must be full of surprises when you return to Beijing to resume your post. You have a clean reputation and are still a victorious minister, but the criticism in the world is already out of love. Female... you force me to walk with you, but how can you make me feel so bad?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, "In that case, I'm in a cocoon..."

Seeing that his position remained the same, Qingcheng sighed and said in a low voice: "Perhaps, you go back to Bianjing first, and after a while, when the wind calms down, I will go to meet you again, how about it?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and said slowly, "Even a three-year-old child would not believe your words."

Qingcheng had no choice but to turn her head to look sideways.

Double silk entangles the net, one such heart, there are thousands of knots in it.

She was troubled in her heart, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you so stubborn? Does it make any difference whether I return with you or not? Do you remember that I said on the side of the quiet lake that day, when you return In Bianjing, when the official returns to his original post, he gets married and has children, he will feel that everything before is just a dream..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Zhan Zhao standing up abruptly, before she could recover, he picked her up by the waist and strode into the cabin.

Qingcheng was startled, not knowing what he meant by this move, in a state of panic, she felt that the world was spinning, and Zhan Zhao had already placed her on her couch.The hair loosened, but the hosta slipped and fell to the couch.

The blue hair was like a waterfall, instantly covering the pillow.Zhan Zhao stretched out his arms to hold down her long hair, making her unable to move. He leaned over to look at her, his brows were tightly knit, and he was very angry. He said in a deep voice, "How dare you say what you said just now?"

Qingcheng's whole body trembled, and by the candlelight in the cabin, he saw that his eyes were full of pain, and knew that his willful words just now had deeply hurt him.

Change my heart, for your heart, only to know the depth of nostalgia.

Her heart softened suddenly, with tears in her eyes, she whispered: "Let me up...I promise to go back to Beijing with you."

Zhan Zhao stared at her closely, as if savoring the true meaning in her words.He was silent for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, and let go of his arms.

Qingcheng sat up, her black hair was neatly draped over her shoulders.During the struggle just now, the belt around her waist was loosened, and the green shirt was messed up.She bit her lips and said nothing, smoothed her long hair lightly, suddenly felt full of grievances, shook her head and sighed softly: "You forced me so much, when I return to Kaifeng mansion, the first thing I will do is to sue Master Bao for your bullying!" crime."

Zhan Zhao saw that she had just promised to go back to Bianjing with him, he felt relieved for a moment, shook his head and said, "Master Bao will never accept this lawsuit, and Mr. Gongsun will even advise you to withdraw the pleading paper early."

Qingcheng was puzzled, turned her head and asked, "Why?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "There is a saying in the Criminal Regulations Volume [-] and [-], that even if a wife sues her husband, she will be sentenced to two years in prison. Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun are reluctant to let you accuse me of this crime, but get your own punishment instead."

Qingcheng's aura had gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but frowned deeply after hearing his words: "I don't know how to be ashamed to talk nonsense. Back then, in the grand trial before the imperial court, in order to prove the relationship between our mother and daughter, we still had to find paintings in Tianzhang Pavilion, and made a fuss." The world has been turned upside down, and now you talk about the name of husband and wife without evidence, I don't believe that Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun can allow you to say this."

But Zhan Zhao suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Don't say it is in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, even in front of the people of the world, I say the same way, it is generally the same!"

He suddenly turned his head, stared into Qingcheng's eyes, and said word by word: "Between you and me, the sky and the earth are the witnesses, the sun and the moon are the alliance, and Zhan Lu Chunjun is an oath!"

For thousands of years, we will be two fronts, and we will form an alliance with Qing overnight.

Qingcheng looked at each other in a daze, there seemed to be countless words in her heart, but she swallowed her breath and couldn't say any more.

Zhan Zhao stretched his arms around her waist, and slowly asked, "Qingcheng, in this life, is Zhan Zhao lucky enough to have you as his wife?"

Under all the earnestness, this question was actually so cautious, I only hoped that she would nod and agree.

Her body trembled suddenly, tears streaming down her cheeks, she lowered her eyebrows and leaned into his arms.

Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "Are you agreeing?"

Qingcheng shook her head slowly: "I just agreed to go back to Beijing with you, but you have to look around Shu, but it's too late."

Zhan Zhao sighed and laughed at himself: "It seems that it is not so easy to persuade you to nod for this matter."

Qingcheng looked up to him and smiled faintly: "Instead of wasting your mind on this, you might as well get busy with some serious business. There must be a lot of things in Beijing now, and when you return to Kaifeng Mansion, you won't have time to worry about it anymore." .”

She lowered her head again, quietly leaning against his heart, allowing his warmth to penetrate through her clothes.She had worked hard for a whole day without a break, but at this moment, the surrounding was quiet and warm, her eyelids gradually closed, and she felt drowsy.

Zhan Zhao caressed her shoulder, and suddenly said in a low voice, "The last time you and I faced each other like this was probably the night in the Jinglue Mansion in Yanzhou two years ago, wasn't it?"

Qingcheng was slightly dizzy, still leaning on his arms and closing his eyes, and sarcastically said: "Are you afraid that if I promise to return to Beijing with you, I will repeat the old tricks?... Mr. Zhan has a meticulous mind, and he really has a lot of worries..."

Zhan Zhao shook his head slowly, and said with a smile: "It's unwise to repeat the old tricks. You are familiar with military books, so you won't do such a bad strategy... Besides, the situation tonight is completely different from that night."

Qingcheng raised her head, her starry eyes slightly opened in tiredness: "What's the difference?"

The light in the pupils is leisurely, lingering a faint sense of sleepiness, which makes people think a lot, and the meaning disappears.

Zhan Zhao slowly tightened his arms and pulled her closer to him.Back then, the mandarin mandarin dream, the love for days, entered my heart all at once.

How could she know that recently he often sat on the bow of the boat until late at night, not to mend fishing nets, but because he was worried about falling asleep near her, and his thoughts were uncontrollable.

He smiled lightly and lowered his eyes: "I was so reckless that night, I inevitably offended you, and with your temper, I must have been brooding over the past two years... Now that we have decided to return to Beijing, there is no need to stay overnight Going to weave that thousand-needle net. I have time tonight, and I just do my best to make amends to you, how about that?...Maybe you can forgive me and agree to what I just asked..."

She was slightly startled, frowned, and suddenly understood the meaning of his words, and opened her eyes suddenly, with light cherry blossoms floating on her cheeks.

Angry and slightly offended, he couldn't hide his bewildered face any longer.

The Hunan curtain hangs down, the moonlight is faint, and the smoked wind is drunk.

The egret's feathers are as bright as snow, buried in its neck and wings, leaning on the side to sleep, ignoring the clear and shallow ripples under the boat, and the light and shadow returning quietly.

The author has something to say: The sweetest moment between Qing and Zhao, I will give it to you as a Youth Day gift.
