There is no phoenix

Daiyu's hand was caught by Shui Rong, so she had to close her eyes shyly.

But Shui Rong refused this time, put his face on Daiyu's, and said cunningly: "Dai'er, we have been married for four days, from today onwards, I will not allow you to close your eyes like this, you look at me, okay?" ? If you keep it closed, I will punish you."

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly opened her eyes.

Seeing Daiyu open her eyes, Shui Rong deliberately asked: "Dai'er, tell me, the two of us are so handsome, will the child we give birth be more handsome in the future?"

Seeing that Shui Rong was talking about children again, Daiyu said in embarrassment: "Brother Rong, why do you keep talking about having children. We have only been married for a few days."

Shui Rong lightly touched Daiyu's face with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Dai'er, you are the daughter of Tan Hualang, and you have read so many books, don't you know that getting married means getting married? The word for 'family' means 'door' The next '豕', Dai'er, what do you mean by '豕'?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "It means pigs."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Then tell yourself, we are married, should we raise a pig, or have children?"

Daiyu was so angry that she couldn't help pinching Shui Rong, and said with a smirk, "Brother Rong, why did you come here? Why do you put childbirth and pig raising together?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "You silly Dai'er, if I don't compare like this, how can you open your eyes? I have told you several times, these days, I want you to pretend to be only me!"

Daiyu still wanted to speak, but her mouth was already blocked.

Daiyu woke up slowly, touched her side naturally, but found that Shui Rong had gone out at some time.Looking at the window, the morning light has already penetrated outside, so I know it is already dawn.

Daiyu had never slept like this until dawn, and besides, she didn't even know what to do with water.When Daiyu got up, she still felt weak and powerless, she just didn't understand, Shui Rong has been tossing and tossing many times these nights, she was exhausted, but Shui Rong was so refreshed, and now she went out so early.

Daiyu sat on the bed to tidy up and was about to get out of bed when Shui Rong walked in.Seeing that Daiyu had gotten up, Shui Rong approached and smiled, "Dai'er, it's still early, you can lie down for a while!"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "You said it's still early, why did you go out so early? Brother Rong, where have you been?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "I am used to getting up early to practice sword every day. I haven't gotten up to practice sword for several days. This morning I suddenly wanted to practice sword, so I got up. I saw that you slept well, so I didn't wake you up."

Daiyu said shyly, "Brother Rong, why aren't you tired at all? I've never slept like this until dawn, and I forgot to get up these days!"

Shui Rong picked up Daiyu and turned around quickly, and said with a smile: "Dai'er, with you sleeping with me, talking with me, and eating with me, I feel that all the strength is passion anytime, anywhere, how can I be tired."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, she put Daiyu on the bed and leaned over and whispered: "Dai'er, with you, I understand what is beautiful and delicious." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but attach Daiyu's red lips.

Daiyu felt Shui Rong's passion, and hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, let's go for a walk, shall we?"

Shui Rong bit Daiyu's lips lightly, and said with a soft smile, "Okay, you have to make up for me tonight!"

Not to mention how the water-soluble Daiyu is harmonious in the newlyweds in the Jasper Garden.

But at this time, in the room where Miaoyu lived in Muniyuan, Xichun in black clothes was bowing her head and earnestly painting, with a colored screen beside her doing needlework.

On July [-]th, Liu Xianglian and Aunt Liu took the Xichun color screen from Daiyuan and sent it to Muniyuan.Because Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian came to Muni Temple together a few days ago, and Master Huiming only said that she was Liu Xianglian's cousin and wanted to practice here for three months.Master Huiming knew that Feng Ziying was Miaoyu's son-in-law and Liu Xianglian was the deputy commander of the imperial guards, so he naturally promised to take good care of Xichun and Caiping.

After Xichun and Caiping came to the Muni courtyard, they changed into black clothes like the monks and nuns.Liu Xianglian also knew Xichun's temperament, so she had no choice but to give up.

Xichun and Caiping are in the Muni courtyard. Although they don't have morning and evening classes with those monks and nuns every day, Xichun is in his own courtyard, copying many scriptures and sending them to Master Huiming every day.Xichun copied a lot every day and wrote neatly, never leaving the yard all day long.

Huiming sees that although Xichun is young, he is so devout, and he admires Xichun's tranquility very much.Because Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian had confessed that they gave back a lot of incense money, the nuns that Huiming sent out to buy often brought back some good vegetables and snacks for Xichun Color Screen.

On the fourth day of August, Liu Xianglian came to visit Xichun. Knowing that Xichun liked painting, she brought Xichun brushes, paper, ink, silk, cloth and paints.She also said that Xichun likes plum blossoms and lotus, so she asked Xichun to draw a picture and take it home to decorate the house. She said that the house was tidied up, and Aunt Liu had chosen the fourth day of November.

Although Xichun was shy, she promised to draw a good painting with her heart and let Liu Xianglian take it back, and repeatedly asked Liu Xianglian not to let Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion know her whereabouts.

After Liu Xianglian accompanied Shui Rong back to Ping'an Prefecture, she also learned about some amazing events in Jia's mansion, and also learned from Baoyu that Jia's mansion wanted Xichun to betroth Prince Teng's adopted son Wang Ren, so Xichun escaped from Jia's mansion, feeling more and more distressed. I admire Xichun's character.It's just a matter of marriage, but she has to hide it from Xichun's own brother and sister-in-law. Liu Xianglian always feels a little awkward in her heart, because Baoyu from Jia's mansion is close to herself. Jia Zhenjiarong and Liu Xianglian are no strangers. .

But Xichun's temperament is so stubborn, and she also said that if it is inconvenient to go back to Daiyuan to get married, she would rather go directly to Liu's house from Muniyuan than let the people of Jia's house know about her.

What Xichun is painting now is a picture of red plums.The light yellow silk cloth was chosen by Liu Xianglian, it is nearly a foot wide, and Xichun has been painting for more than ten days, and it is finally done.

Xichun was looking at his painting carefully, but saw Liu Xianglian walking in.Caiping hurriedly stood up and poured tea for Liu Xianglian, knowing that Liu Xianglian must have something to discuss with Xichun, so she hurriedly backed out.

Seeing that Xichun had already painted such a large red plum, Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Is my sister painting this painting day and night? In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, our days are still early."

Xichun blushed and said, "My favorite thing to do is painting. I don't have much to do here except copy scriptures. Brother Liu, look, what words should I inscribe on it!"

Liu Xianglian said with a guilty smile: "My sister asked me for nothing. I said that I didn't like reading poetry and books when I was young. After following my master, I read mostly medical books and classics. My sister understands everything, and what she thinks must be right. of."

Xichun thought for a while and said: "Brother Liu, others call you Leng Erlang, and I am always called cold-faced and cold-hearted. You asked me to draw plum blossoms and lotus flowers. I will draw this plum blossom first because I respect plum blossoms the most. pride."

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "No wonder my sister painted so many plum blossoms, and also painted a lot of frost and snow on these branches and flowers. I think a five-character poem would be very good!"

Xichun hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, did you mean 'Ling Han drives alone'?"

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Exactly this sentence, is it appropriate for my sister?"

Xichun nodded and said, "I just thought of Wang Mian's song 'In the ice and snow forest, this body is different from peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust. Suddenly, it is fragrant overnight, scattered into the universe and thousands of miles of spring." The sentence my brother thought was good, but this The sub-painting is so big, these five words seem a bit monotonous."

Liu Xianglian thought for a while and said, "Sister, what do you think of the phrase 'Snow tormenting the wind makes the food more awe-inspiring, and the integrity of flowers is the strongest'?"

Xichun thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu, let me just use your sentence, can you write it down?"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "Okay, sister, don't say that I ruined such a good painting you worked so hard to draw."

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she took the pen from Xichun.

Xichun said: "This painting was originally brought back to Big Brother Liu, so it's okay that Big Brother Liu will read it from now on."

Liu Xianglian heard this, looked at Xichun with a smile, and said, "Sister, why am I watching alone, at least the two of us are watching, and I will let someone install it in our new house."

Xichun blushed and bowed her head in silence.

Seeing that Xichun stopped talking, Liu Xianglian came to the place where Xichun was standing before, and wrote the phrase "the more awe-inspiring the snow and the wind, the stronger the integrity in the flower" on the upper corner of the plum blossom picture.Then put down the pen and said: "Sister, do you think my handwriting has ruined this painting?"

Xichun looked at it, and said in a low voice: "Brother always said that he didn't like to read and write when he was young, but he didn't expect that Brother Liu could write so well!"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "Sister, I didn't lie to you. I have learned to read and write with my master in the past few years. When I was in Tiger Hill, I read and write almost every day, and then I went to the mountains to collect herbs. "

Xichun took a look at the painting, picked up the brush again, and added a few flower buds.

Liu Xianglian sees that the red plum painted by Xichun is so realistic, and sees that Xichun is holding a paintbrush in her hand, and she is still thinking about the painting.

The dots of snowy skin on the red plum blossoms are like Xichun's calm and beautiful face at this time: a master of chess, but also a master of painting, who knows how to needle and thread, and loves to read "Nanhua Jing". Green cloud girl.Such a young girl, who dared to disguise herself as a man and tried to escape from Houmen's mansion in the middle of the night, would rather choose to become a monk than return to a wealthy family that she was not used to. It is really amazing!

Liu Xianglian couldn't help but stepped forward, slowly took Xichun's hand, and took off the hat on Xichun's head. Xichun hurriedly lowered her head and said with a flushed face, "Brother, don't do this!"

Liu Xianglian stretched out her hand to stroke Xichun's loose long hair, and said softly: "Sister, you know, several times, I dreamed that you cut your hair and said that you were going to become a monk officially. When I woke up, Can't sleep anymore."

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom, which was exactly the handkerchief that Xichun in Guazhou took out to help Liu Xianglian bandage her wound.

When Xichun saw her, she was moved, "Brother Liu, why do you still keep this?"

Liu Xianglian looked at Xichun with a smile and said: "Sister, you may not know, but when I miss you, I will take out your handkerchief. There are several Qinglian on your handkerchief, I like it very much. My name has a lotus, This handkerchief was given to me by my sister to bandage my wound, so I will treasure this handkerchief carefully."

Xichun looked up at Liu Xianglian, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Liu, why are you so kind to me? You already know my family background. Are you really not afraid that I will hurt you?"

Liu Xianglian suddenly hugged Xichun with a smile and said, "My silly girl, the time for our marriage has been fixed, why don't you worry about me? When I was still in Gusu, I said that my family was completely empty. I am a monk with two sleeves, and what I am afraid of is that my sister will dislike me. As long as my sister is willing to marry me, I am not afraid of anything!"

Xichun said: "But brother Liu, except sister Miaoyu and sister Lin, everyone said I was cold-faced and cold-hearted, that I was eccentric and withdrawn, because I was a person who liked quietness and neither bustle nor worldly life. One day Brother Liu discovers these shortcomings of mine, will he despise me?"

Liu Xianglian stroked Xichun's forehead, and said with a smile: "Sister, are you thinking about such things when you are here these days? Let me tell you, since I have decided to marry you, I will not despise you. My master That's right, the two of us are the most suitable husband and wife. You are destined to be my daughter-in-law, so we met by chance in Guazhou. Don't worry, girl, although I may not be able to give you great wealth, as long as I am here, I will I will definitely let the girl live comfortably for the rest of her life! I will try my best to protect the girl!"

Xichun looked at Liu Xianglian's handsome face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Liu, I'm not worthy of you. I'm not as good as you say. Let me tell you, I like to play chess because I only had an older sister since I was a child." Accompanied, I can only pass the boredom in the boudoir; I like painting, because I can only vent my emotions in the painting; I like reading books, because I have no parents to take care of me since I was a child, only a girl to accompany me, slowly long night, I'm lonely, I'm afraid I can't fall asleep, only poems, books and scriptures accompany me to sleep peacefully. Because I have no relatives to worry about, and I am tired of the dirt and noise of the world, so I yearn to accompany the ancient Buddha with blue lights, listen to the morning bell and evening drum, and watch the wild cranes in the clouds life. Brother Liu, I'm really afraid that I will drag you down!"

Liu Xianglian said tenderly: "Sister, I'll tell you again, I'm not afraid! I believe it's man-made! There is something wrong with your house, you have already come out of that house, and you will be my wife soon. The young prince Feng Ziying can testify, I don't think the emperor will blame an innocent woman like you!"

Hearing what Liu Xianglian said so resolutely, Xichun leaned meekly on Liu Xianglian's chest, and said in a low voice: "With Brother Liu's words, I am willing to stay with Brother Liu for the rest of my life. Don't worry, Brother Liu, I am not afraid of suffering, I will do anything Learn to do it. I can bear the green lanterns, ancient Buddhas and simple food, and I am more yearning for a simple, comfortable and peaceful life. I believe that although we may be suffering in front of us, as long as we are united, we will get better in the future."

After Xichun finished speaking, he slowly put his arms around Liu Xianglian, looked up at the handsome Liu Xianglian and said, "Brother Liu, I used to spend countless times in my own room, scrolling through scriptures, thinking about chess games, and planning how to deal with my future life. Several older sisters accompanied me, but everyone said I was cold-hearted, and everyone disliked me for being lonely and weird. When my older sisters left, only Caiping remained loyal to me. I once heard that spring on both sides of the Gusu River The scenery with the most southern characteristics is everywhere. The maple leaves in Hanshan Temple in Gusu are beautiful in autumn, and the red plums in Panxiang Temple in Xuantou are the most beautiful in winter. In summer, the lotus ponds in Gusu are full of green lotus and blue lotus, and there are dragon boat races , so I really yearn to go to Gusu once, and my sister Lin is there. But I never thought that I would meet you. If Brother Liu hadn’t saved me and Caiping, we might have met Caiping and me in Huangquan.”

Liu Xianglian looked at Xichun, held Xichun's two palms tightly and said, "Sister, I don't care about your family background or your past. I only believe in my own eyes and feelings. I know that my sister must Suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot. In Guazhou, seeing you and the color screen girl disguised as a man and running around being bullied by others, I can feel the sadness and sadness in the girl's heart. In my eyes, the girl is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Good girl. She is so beautiful, has such a kind heart, is so proficient in chess and painting, and likes to read books quietly. In front of her, I am ashamed of myself."

After hearing this, Xichun quickly opened her eyes and said, "No, Brother Liu is as handsome as the young prince's brother-in-law, and his martial arts are so good, I always feel that I am not good enough for Brother Liu!"

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian was elated, and couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed Xichun.

Xichun had never experienced such intimacy before, her face flushed for a moment, she stared blankly at Liu Xianglian, and seeing Xichun's foolishness, Liu Xianglian became even bolder.Liu Xianglian's tender caress made Xichun's mind blurred.

After a long while, Liu Xianglian helped Xichun to sit down, and said softly: "Sister, we still have more than two months to get married, my aunt said that if you want, you can live with us first, and I have finished repairing the house. Don't worry, sister, before we get married, you and Caiping are both my sisters, and I won't be abrupt."

Xichun hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, I said that I want to meditate here for three months, and the rest will be discussed after October [-]th. If I dare to escape from my house, I will not be bound by small etiquette."
