Crown Sword

This season, there are few shepherds who migrate, and sometimes they don’t see strangers for ten days and a half months, and there are few travelers. The boatman who takes the ferry is also very happy, not only pointing out a good place for Gongyangyue and others to set up camp, but also lending pots and bowls , bring some vintage wine.

After the sun and stars rose, several people gathered around the fire to eat.

Cui Tanfeng didn't eat any more after midnight, so he went to change Yancai's dressing and bandage. After stripping off his coat, he found that he had stab wounds from his left shoulder to the back half of his back, and his flesh was turned out. It was really shocking.Shuang Li was unprepared, and with a hasty glance, his small face immediately twisted into a ball, and he covered his sleeves to avoid it. Several big men around looked back, and couldn't bear it.

Yancai didn't show any pain, she still held the bowl and chatted happily with several people.

Chang An was the first to speak, and the first sentence was repentance: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't dragged you down, brother Yan wouldn't have been hurt so badly."

"I'm really useless, I shouldn't be here."

There was nothing wrong with it once or twice, and several people either comforted or teased him, but hearing him moan and sigh again and again made people feel impatient.On the other hand, Yan Cai is outstanding in civil and martial arts and eloquent. Everyone loves to chat with him unconsciously. When no one pays attention to him, Chang An can only sit alone with his knees hugged, depressed and reticent.

It stands to reason that it sounds good, but seeing Yan's beauty and gracefulness, he was so envious that he couldn't sit still and tried to interrupt.Originally, they were joking and telling jokes, but there was always someone standing in the middle saying something frustrating, which was always a bit of a disappointment.Yancai noticed that the atmosphere was awkward, so she called Chang An to return the washed pots and bowls to the ferryman, and sent him away.

Seeing him stepping back and forth, Shuang Li couldn't bear it again, and hurriedly asked, "Why is brother Daguan always so unhappy?"

Cui Tanfeng also echoed: "This is not like the spirit of a young man."

Chao Chen didn't respond, thinking he could understand but couldn't understand, Chang An's words were not bad at all, but listening to them over and over again, it always made people feel uncomfortable, no one was suffering, but not everyone talked about it, If he had to choose, he would prefer to associate with someone as bold and generous as Yan Cai, at least not tired.

Several people were more or less puzzled, even if they didn't think people were a fool at first, they still hesitated now.

Yancai's heart was clear, and he simply let go of the conversation: "Actually, this has something to do with Daguan's life experience. His father died early, and his mother had a serious quarrel with him. He was a stupid and honest person since he was a child. They were all blocked back, and with the addition of a foreign country, there is nowhere to display their talents because of their status, and as time goes by, they will feel a little bit resentful."

"Many people have advised me, but Daguan is my friend and I recommended him to my father. I can't give up on him."

The orange light of the bonfire shone on Yancai's face, and her eyes were brighter than the Milky Way at once, and there was a smile on her lips, full of sincere warmth.Shuang Li lowered her head, Qiao Min listened attentively, Chao Chen was thoughtful, Cui Tanfeng looked downcast, and only Gong Yangyue was drinking alone, which didn't fit the atmosphere.

Yancai smiled and said: "You are all open-minded people, so it's hard to imagine that there are many people in this world who are born reticent and melancholy. It's good to have fun while suffering, but not everyone can do it."

"Brother Yan, what you said makes sense, why don't I comfort him?" Shuang Li thought about it and asked tentatively.

Gong Yangyue stretched out her hand, rubbed the top of Shuang Li's head hard, and retorted: "It's not comfort, stupid or not, what he wants is comfort. For him, he just hopes that he can be more useful and be needed by others." That’s all.” Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yancai, “Am I right?”

"Insights."

Yancai got up abruptly, walked to the river, and shouted to the figure loitering in the distance: "Daguan, everyone wants to go boating on the Milky Way. This time, I'm familiar with you twice. Count how many times you have seen the boatman. If you can borrow a boat, let me know." It's up to you!"

Chang An jumped up high, waved to him, and his loud voice flew all over the river bank: "Let me? I'll try, I'll try!" Not long after, he returned happily, because he couldn't keep up with that step, he almost staggered He fell on his back, but he was really happy from the bottom of his heart, and his frown was finally flattened: "Brother Yan, I borrowed it. Fortunately, I am not disgraced, fortunately I am not disgraced!"

The people boarded the boat with wine, they didn't pay attention, they found a place to sit at random, and the ram stepped on the bow of the boat, sending their internal energy down the deck, and the boat sailed without oars, slowly drifting towards the heart of the river.At this time, the water of the Wuding River is as clear as a mirror, and the reflection of the stars and the moon falls, as if you are really in the Tianhe River.

"Come and serve the wine order!" Gongyangyue shouted.

There were a lot of responses, but there was a lot of chatter. Chao Chen and Yan Cai were full of talent and learning, so they were not afraid. There is nothing to worry about, there are only three people left who have nothing to do, and they have great opinions.

In the end, the poems are not limited, but the sentences must include the things in the foreground, and they must be sung.

Chang Daguan started with a fist-guessing game. He raised his glass and surveyed the surrounding fields, and he spoke with a very strong melancholy style: "I joined the army at fifteen, and I returned at eighty. When I met a villager, I said, 'Who is there in the family?'" Seen from a distance, it is the Jun's house, with numerous pines and cypresses.' (Note 1)" At this point, he drew his hand forward, and the hut where the boatman lived was lit like a bean, and the lonely shadow on the window was desolate. , but inexplicably reflects this desolation.

Cui Tanfeng took a closer look: "I looked behind that mountain, there seemed to be several green tombs, I wonder who buried the bones?"

After he sang the last line, he actually looked eastward, and tears stained his clothes. Shuang Li wanted to joke that "instant tears count", but seeing this scene, he couldn't say it anymore. He just felt very hurt in his heart. Affection.

Chang An has the world in his heart, worries in his heart, and can't control the rules. He grabs the big bowl and floats a white. 'When the soup is cooked for a while, I don't know who it will be.' When will this world be unified, when will it be unified!"

Chao Chen was infected by this tragic feeling, even though he drank less, he also grabbed the altar with his hands, raised his head and drank heavily, and continued to sing: "Sing to wine, life is like a song! It's like the dew in the morning, the past is bitter. (Note 2)"

"Okay!" Shuang Li applauded.

Gong Yang Yue troubled her to interrupt: "Do you know what he is singing? Shut up."

Chao Chen's song is bold and unrestrained, completely different from his usual restrained and submissive temperament. Gong Yangyue raised his eyes, listened, and tapped the side of the boat to beat the time for him until he finished the last line.

"...Mountains are never too high, and seas are never too deep. The Duke of Zhou spits out his nourishment, and the world returns to his heart."

"Ram Moon!"

Chao Chen yelled, and several people were startled by his sudden increase in volume, their eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them.

Chao Chen staggered to his feet, straightened his crooked hood, held a wine bottle with words of sincerity, and began to make a wish again: "One day, I wish that the world's sages will not be lost, and they will collect rivers and mountains, and follow the right path; Ming; three wishes... oh, three wishes..."

When it came to the third wish, he only looked at the person and smirked, and it was still difficult to say anything.

Gong Yangyue saw that his face was flushed and he took a sip of wine, he couldn't help feeling a little irritable, and immediately interrupted: "Next, who should be next?"

"Mr. Chao just sang 'How can you relieve your worries, only Du Kang', and I was so excited when I heard it. If it is good wine, I should drink three thousand cups! Yan is not talented, and I will sing "Double Wine" for everyone." Yan Cai held the Xun in his hand. Playing the feather tune, clapping the board and singing a cappella, the song is impassioned, "...the king is virtuous and wise, and the prime minister is loyal and good. The people are courteous and courteous, and the people have no disputes. Three years of farming have nine years of storage, and the barn is full (Note 3)... ..."

What Yan Cai wants is neither sad nor happy, but what he wishes is the great harmony of the world.

Chao Chen couldn't help but praised: "He is indeed the prime minister of a loyal minister and a good general."

Gong Yangyue listened with sharp ears, snorted disdainfully, and poured a cup of fine wine behind him, ripples like layers of fish scales appeared on the water instantly.Chao Chen was concentrating on it, and after being frightened, he looked around hastily. After confirming that it was Gong Yangyue who was at fault, he turned his head away with a look of helplessness that "children can't be taught".

Seeing that he was being ignored, Gong Yangyue took his sword and poked at his sleeve again. The sleeve was not hooked, but the sheath's sheath was hanging on the belt. He immediately felt playful and pulled it hard.

Chao Chen fell backwards and hit the side of the ship.

"how?"

Yancai was alert and could hear the movement, but the singing stopped abruptly.

Gong Yangyue took advantage of the situation and jumped out, shouting "fine wine", Yan Cai smiled and went to get the wine jar, but Chao Chen pressed it down: "It's okay, continue!" Taking advantage of the wine, he tucked his hands in his clothes , tugging on his belt tightly and competing with Ramyue.

This is a pain for Cui Tanfeng who is lying in the middle.

After Yancai sang, he changed to the stage. He got up and flexed his legs, and pretended to think about the heart of the river. It’s a great work, but when you see the green grass and green slopes, it’s better to play a nursery rhyme to amuse everyone.”

As he said that, he couldn't help taking a step in this narrow-sized ark, and sang: "Thousand li grass, He Qingqing, ten days' divination, no birth. (Note 4)"

Just hearing "Ouch", Cui Tanfeng really tripped.

Chao Chen saw someone coming towards him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him, but he didn't know it was a trick, and asked Cui Tanfeng to catch him, pull and push, but before he could stand still, he turned around and staggered, and it happened that Gong Yangyue pulled hard, and Chao Chen In order to protect his belt, he staggered and rushed over, hugging the person in his arms.

Shuang Li turned her head, at a loss: "What are you two doing?"

Gong Yangyue reacted quickly, and immediately put his hand on Chao Chen's shoulder, and said to everyone with a smile, "Hello, brothers, I haven't seen you before!"

Cui Tanfeng leaned on the side of the boat and sat down, muttering softly: "It's finally clean."

Yancai didn't know if he was being honest or teasing people on purpose, so he just blurted out: "Young Xia Gongyang and Mr. Chao have a deep friendship, which makes me envious."

Chao Chen was almost choked by his words.

"However, it is indeed a great blessing to have such a confidant in life." However, Chang An was very blind to agree, and even Qiao Min also said: "They have always been like this."

"How can there be..." Chao Chen hurriedly defended.

Gong Yangyue secretly kicked him, pressed his head and turned his back, looking like he was about to vomit drunk: "He's drunk, you go ahead..."

Chao Chen elbowed him, but he counterattacked and suppressed him. After a few secret tricks, Gong Yangyue won with an overwhelming force.Chao Chen could only use his words: "Gongyangyue, I warn you sternly..."

"Why do you keep looking at that Yancai?" Gong Yangyue interrupted.

Why did Yancai get involved again?

Chao Chen was at a loss for words, not sure what he was thinking, just when he came back from the corner of the eye, he found the young master of the Yan family was looking at the bow of the boat, so he blocked him, "Then he still keeps looking at you!" Yang Yue felt inexplicably comfortable, but when she turned around, she also felt weird seeing Yan Cai staring at her.

"That's right, why does he keep looking at you?" Chao Chen realized later, and his heart started beating. That Gongyangyue lived in Daiguo when he was young, and it's not impossible for him to meet old playmates. Thinking of this, he asked again: "Could it be that you and him are..."

Gong Yangyue folded her sleeves and sat back in her seat: "What is it? It's nothing!"

Perhaps the fierce gaze was too straightforward, Yancai seemed to have sensed it, quickly turned his gaze, and then answered the crossword riddle hidden in Cui Tanfeng's nursery rhyme.The word "Dong" is composed of thousands of miles of grass. When this libretto spread all over the capital, the rebellious minister Dong Zhuo was coercing the emperor to create troubles.

Although the grass is flourishing, there will be a time of withering; although the people are prosperous, there will be a day of perishing.

Cui Tanfeng congratulated Changfeng from a distance, but she didn't drink the glass of wine, but poured it into the Wuding River, not knowing whether to give it to the ancients or the present.

Gong Yangyue pulled Chao Chen to her side, and asked in a low voice, "What did you warn me just now?"

"I forgot."

Being interrupted by him, how can I remember it.

When it was Shuang Li's turn to drink, she was dragging Chang An to complain, saying how Gong Yangyue cared about her in the past, and how bad it was for ignoring her recently. She is suffering, so bitter that her father does not love her mother.

"I figured it out, they haven't had an argument for months!"

Chang An looked confused: "Isn't that very good? This is how relatives should be. I still hope that my mother can treat me kindly. But then again, Miss Liyu, if you don't name me, I will Thought you were talking about Daji?"

"What girl carp, Shuang Li, Shuang Li!" Shuang Li gave a disgusted look, and asked inexplicably, "What Daji?"

Chang An didn't know how to explain it, so he imitated the gesture and tone she had pointed out just now, and frowned, "Look, doesn't it sound like you're scolding a vixen?"
