Gusu snow

I only heard a male voice outside the carriage say: "Tao Ze, I want to invite Mr. Yun to gather in the boat by the river."

Qian Qiu was a little surprised, glanced at Yun Shen, opened the curtain, and saw a man who was plainly dressed but well-groomed standing under the carriage, and looked like a student.

Yun Shen got off the car, and the two bowed to each other.

Tao Ze said: "Mr. Yun, can you show me your face?"

Yun Shen nodded gently: "I'm not very honored."

Zhu Jiang made way for Tao Ze to sit up so that he could guide the way, and said curiously, "Young Master Tao, even those shopkeepers dare not take us in, and all of them keep us at arm's length. How dare you have friendship with us?"

Tao Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Yun is not a scourge. Those shops dare not take Mr. Yun in because they have not seen Mr. Yun's talent. I know Mr. Yun is a talented person, so I admire him so much, why should I be afraid of others? ?”

Qian Qiu, who was sitting in the carriage, smacked his lips when he heard the words, feeling suddenly uncomfortable.

The carriage rolled forward, and after a while, the painting boat that Tao Ze had mentioned arrived soon.

It was already night at this time, Qingcheng is not like Gusu Lin'an, there is no night market, and there are no colorful lanterns and river lanterns.

The two painting boats just moored quietly on the lake, and looking around, the two painting boats melted into the night.Zhu Jiang parked the carriage and Fu Yunshen Qianqiu got out of the carriage.

The two painting boats are neither big nor small, and they seem to be able to accommodate four or five people sitting around the table.

Zhu Jiang tied the carriage to one side and turned around. He saw Tao Ze stretch out his hand in a gesture of "please". Went in with Qianqiu.Tao Ze was slightly taken aback, and immediately followed.

Zhu Jiang stood at the same spot, watching the scene silently, and was about to step up to follow, when he saw Qian Qiu's half body poking out from the curtain, and said to him: "Zhu Jiang, you go to the carriage to rest first. Let's go!" Zhu Jiang didn't even have time to oh, and then saw Qianqiu shrink back again, his movements flowing like flowing water.

Zhu Jiangbian pursed his lips, ran to the river to wash his feet, and then ran back to the carriage to rest.

Inside the boat...

Tao Ze and Yun Shen Qianqiu were sitting opposite each other, with three empty cups of tea on the table in front of them.

Qian Qiu didn't have a good impression of the clean-looking scholar in front of him, and he had a vague feeling that Tao Ze had the same attitude towards him.He had to sit and listen to them.

Tao Ze said while pouring tea, "It seems that Young Master Yun has an unusual relationship with this Young Master?"

Yun Shen smiled and said, "I and Qianqiu are brothers."

Tao Ze smiled and said, "I see."

Qian Qiu suddenly felt uncomfortable, and began to pay attention to Tao Ze intentionally or unintentionally.

Tao Ze said: "Young Master Yun, what do you think about painting?"

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes: "A painter should have something in his heart. For thousands of years, there have been countless famous and unknown painters, but they are all people with something in their hearts. If there is nothing, how can they make paintings? It must be Relying on what I have read, blending in my own reverie, and finally condensing in the painting."

Tao Ze nodded approvingly, then asked again: "What about the portraits of the gods? Has anyone ever seen the gods?"

"Mr. Tao, what do gods look like?" Yun Shen said indifferently, "A pair of eyes, a mouth, two arms, and two legs. They have our human form, so we can know that the so-called gods may not have been seen before." .

It's just drawn based on our human appearance.Therefore, it is not known whether there is really a god in this world. "

"Mr. Yun doesn't believe there is a god in the world?!" Tao Ze seemed to be shocked, and looked at Yun Shen with his eyes open in disbelief.

Qianqiu finally couldn't help it, and frowned dissatisfiedly: "Gods and gods, it's better to ask for yourself than to pray to the gods. If the gods really exist and can hear our prayers, why is there still suffering in the world?

If the gods really exist, why didn't they come out to save innocent people from the fire and water when the world was in turmoil a hundred years ago? "

His "rebellious" words finally attracted Tao Ze's attention.

Tao Ze opened his mouth slightly, and moved his eyes to Qian Qiu, as if he was sizing him up carefully.

Qianqiu was a little uncomfortable being stared at by his straightforward eyes, and slightly stiffened his body as he was about to say something, but Yun Shen took a step ahead: "Young Master Tao, do you have any questions?"

Only then did Tao Ze realize his gaffe, he quickly adjusted his sitting posture and state, and said with an apologetic smile, "My lord..."

He paused, as if he was looking for some words: "Sure enough, he is different, knowledgeable, and has his own unique insights. This is the first time he heard such remarks, and it opened his eyes."

Qianqiu hated the way Tao Ze stared at Yun Shen, dissatisfied: "Yun Shen just read a lot, not as legendary as you said—"

He changed the subject: "The one who can be called a legend in this world should be Mr. Yun Hanzhi, right? Why doesn't Mr. Tao go looking for Yun Hanzhi?"

Tao Ze hesitated, "Indeed, Mr. Yun Hanzhi is indeed a legend."

After saying that, his eyes immediately locked on Yun Shen, and suddenly released a strong light: "Could it be that Mr. Yun Hanzhi who is not willing to be an official in the world is Mr. Yun Shen?!"

Whoops, it's broken!If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't talk too much!Qian Qiu wanted to strangle himself to death, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't control his mouth.

He glared fiercely at Tao Ze, but the other party didn't notice at all, a pair of eyes with colorful light stared straight at Yun Shen under Qian Qiu's eyelids.

Yun Shen gently clasped his sleeves, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, put it down, and looked at Tao Ze with a half-smile: "Young master Tao thinks so?"

Tao Ze immediately fell into his own thoughts: "It is said that Mr. Yun Hanzhi is the son of a noble family. He was met by chance by the late emperor during his southern tour. Since there is a late emperor, the rumors should not be too bad..."

He pondered, seemingly puzzled: "Mr. Yunshen is the son of a general? One civil and one military, apart from the same surname, the difference is too big."

Yun Shen smiled in a half-smile, noncommittal.

Tao Ze thought for a while, and Qian Qiu also stood aside and endured.He was still a little tired before, but now he felt energetic.

Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to say something, Tao Ze finally raised his head: "Perhaps it's just a coincidence, Mr. Yunshen is Mr. Yunshen, and Mr. Yunhanzhi is Mr. Yunhanzhi. After all, there is too much difference between one article and one weapon." .”

After saying that, he looked outside through the curtain, as if he felt that it was getting late, he quickly got up and bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, I had a good conversation with you, and I forgot the time. , I must be tired, please rest in this boat, Mr. Yun, would you like to talk to Bucai tomorrow?"

Yun Shen also got up and bowed, "Thank you Mr. Tao for your kindness."

Qianqiu, who was ignored from the beginning to the end, sat on the side indifferently, and did not look at Tao Ze who finally remembered to greet him, and finally Yun Shen did his return.

The two of them only washed their feet by the river, the river was very cold, and the wind on the river surface came in gusts, finally making Qianqiu feel the exhaustion extending from his limbs to his heart.

He stretched himself, got up from the riverside and walked into the painting boat, and carefully closed the curtain - there were many mosquitoes on the river, if he didn't draw it well, he might not be able to sleep at night, and had to fight against the mosquitoes until dawn.

This painting boat is now the only place where they can shelter and sleep soundly.

Qianqiu has almost calmed down, he has gradually accepted the status of "criminals being exiled", and no longer thinks about the good and the fine, but just has it.

But even if he accepted such an identity, he never admitted that they were really exiled for their sins.

There was only a small bed in the painting boat, Yun Shen didn't mind at all, and took Qian Qiu over.

"Can Qianqiu get used to resting in a painting boat?" Yun Shen's voice came from the darkness, because of the distance, the hot air that he exhaled when he spoke sprinkled on Qianqiu's ears, scratching Qianqiu's heart itchy, for a while A burst of heat rushed to his face—fortunately, it was night.

Fortunately, it was night, Qianqiu bit her lip and moved a little closer to Yunshen, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably: "Fortunately, this is the first time I sleep here, and I feel a little novel."

"How does that compare to home?"

"Of course it's a good home!" Qian Qiu blurted out, and then felt that his hand seemed to be tightened, "But if you're here, it's fine anywhere."

Yun Shen smiled softly: "Qianqiu thought, what kind of person is that Mr. Tao just now?"

Qian Qiu was originally happy in his heart, but when he heard the word "Tao Gongzi", he felt as if he had been splashed with cold water - but his reaction was not drooping, but quite excited: "I don't like him."

"Why?"

Qian Qiu faltered: "When I saw him, I felt that I didn't like him. Maybe I and him are incompatible with each other, and we are naturally incompatible."

Yun Shen asked again lightly: "Why?"

Qian Qiu seemed to be honest and said: "Tao Ze... He talked with you so happily that he ignored me as a living person several times. I don't like it."

"That's all?"

Qian Qiu felt very guilty: "That's all."

Yun Shen faintly laughed again, with the gentleness and elegance that belonged to him, only to hear him softly whispering in his ear: "It's late at night, Qianqiu should go to bed early."

Although the inside of the boat was small, the embrace of the two of them was enough to give Qianqiu a sense of peace of mind. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep and had a good dream inside the boat on the slowly flowing water.

It's just that he slept so deeply that he heard the noise outside when he got up together.

The person next to the pillow has already left the boat and is standing on the deck.Qian Qiu hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to take a look, and saw Tao Ze being escorted away by several officials!

He was slightly startled, even though he didn't like Tao Ze any more, he still couldn't help asking Yun Shen, "Yun Shen, what's going on?"

Yun Shen frowned: "As Qianqiu saw."
