Dinghai Fusheng Records

"What are you doing?" Chen Xing peeped out of the room and saw that Xiang Shu had just changed into clothes and stepped on a pair of flat-bottomed leather clogs. The leather clogs were made of cowhide instead of wood. The strands are fixed, and Xiang Shu is wearing a martial arts robe, with a gown on the top and a gown on the bottom, and martial arts trousers with ankle closure. Wearing leather clogs looks like bare feet, very chic and beautiful.

"Go out," Xiang Shu said, "to relax."

Chen Xing said, "Are you alone?"

Xiang Shu said, "Is there a problem?"

Chen Xing took the initiative: "I want to go with you."

Xiang Shu said, "So many people have invited you today, why don't you go to meet the emperor?"

Chen Xing thought you knew that Sima Yao asked me to meet?He said, "I won't go."

Xiang Shu: "Where's Feng Qianjun? Xiao Shan?"

Chen Xing: "Why are you so verbose? Besides, I'm leaving."

"You go." Xiang Shu didn't carry the epee, his hands were empty, he tied his sleeves and cuffs, and turned to leave the room. Chen Xing then followed behind Xiang Shu, as if at a distance. Xiang Shu walked very slowly today, unlike his usual stride Let Chen Xing chase at a breathless speed, and turn out of the bird clothing lane where Xie's mansion is located.

Little people and pony cut out of gold paper are hung in front of every house, and red cloth strips are tied on the maple trees. Maple leaves are flying in Jiankang City, and the autumn air is crisp, and children are still flying kites, which immediately makes people feel refreshed.

Outside each door, there are also tables, which are piled up with various kinds of glutinous rice, fried, flower cakes, allowing passers-by to eat.Xiang Shu walked unhurriedly, then stopped suddenly, and asked Chen Xing, "Are those for people to eat or worship?"

Xiang Shu finally talked with Chen Xing. The two walked side by side. Chen Xing said: "I have already worshiped the gods. After worshiping the gods, I will give you something to eat. Do you want to try it? I'll get you one." .”

"No," Xiang Shu said, "I don't eat sweets."

Chen Xing ate it by himself, and then brought it to Xiang Shu. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was just right at that time, and the cake was crystal clear. His sight, ate in one bite.

Chen Xing said, "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't want to go anywhere," Xiang Shu said casually, "Just wandering around. It's the end of the day, why don't you go back?"

Chen Xing imitated Xiang Shu's tone and said, "I want to spend the holidays with you, is there a problem?"

Item statement: "..."

The two went to the market, and saw that today's market is bustling and bustling. Compared with the late autumn festival at the foot of the Chile River, it is simply not a ostentation.Jiankang literati and common people sent out their whole families, those who sold kites sold kites, those who looked at cosmetics looked at cosmetics, Chen Xing was suddenly curious, and went to see the sugar sellers, while Xiang Shu watched indifferently.

Beside the sugar figurine stand, there was also a shop selling porcelain cups, as well as north and south pickled goods, dried goods, and wood carvings in wooden boxes. Chen Xing looked at them one by one, and then looked at the painting sellers.

"Do you want to buy anything?" Xiang Shu behind Chen Xingchao asked.

Xiang Shu thought that Chen Xing was going to buy something, and was about to take out the money from his purse, but when he saw Chen Xing took a bottle of wine and looked at it, he said, "No need."

Chen Xing said, "Do you want to try this wine?"

Xiang Shu replied, "I don't want to drink."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu, but he didn't speak when he saw Xiang Shu, and he was so indifferent when shopping, thinking how could you be so boring?Qiushe is so interesting, how can you be so boring in the hustle and bustle of Maple Leaf Collection, you tell me?

"What do you think of Jiangnan?" Chen Xing asked.

"Boring." Xiang Shu replied.

Chen Xing said, "Then you're still here?"

Xiang Shu asked back, "Didn't you want to come?"

Chen Xing's words were blocked back. He knew that at this moment Xiang Shu must think that Jiankang is actually very interesting, so he took the rattle from the roadside stall, thumped it a few times, shook it in front of Xiang Shu, and then put it back. I thought you just didn't want to show surprise and interest, so as not to breed the arrogance of Jiankang Bichilechuan in my mouth.

Xiang Shu frowned slightly when he saw the rattle, and Chen Xing knew he thought of the rattle.

Chen Xing suddenly said: "I heard you call me Xing'er that day."

Xiang Shu said indifferently: "When?"

Chen Xing: "That night in Kuaiji."

Thinking of Wu Qi and the couple, Chen Xing felt a little lost again. Xiang Shu saw the disappointment on Chen Xing's face, and said, "I never called that before."

Chen Xing: "I heard it, but how did you know that my nickname is Xing'er? Only my parents and my master ever called me that. Even Yu Wenxin didn't call me that before."

Xiang Shu: "Oh? Your master usually calls you that? The lonely king doesn't know."

Chen Xing: "Don't be stupid...Huh? What is that?"

Xiang Shu followed Chen Xing's gaze, and saw many young men and women holding hands on the street, all wearing a piece of red rope on their exposed wrists, and a shell carved from a shell was tied to the rope.The shells are big and small, but they are all in pairs.

Xiang Shu then asked the passers-by, "Where did you get the things in your hand?"

The girl smiled at Xiang Shu and said, "It was given by someone else."

Chen Xing: "?"

Everyone seems to be wearing this rope today, is it used to ward off evil spirits?Chen Xing looked at it for a while, and saw two handsome men holding hands, looking at the inkstones in front of the booth, and the red string was also tied to the wrists they were holding together, and shells were worn on the red string.

"And this as a gift? It's so pretty." Chen Xing said to himself.

Xiang Shu moved the man and asked, "Where do you get your shells?"

The two men looked back at Xiang Shu and Chen Xing, one of them was Xie Shi, and said with a smile: "Hey, why are you?"

"Someone gave it to me." Another young man raised his hand to show Chen Xing.

Chen Xing said: "It's so pretty, why does Qiushe wear this?"

Xie Shi smiled but said nothing, with a blush on his face, he said: "You send someone to send it." He took the boy, turned around and left, waving his hand.

Chen Xing: "???"

Xiang Shu spread his hands, unable to find out what was going on, so Chen Xing had no choice but to walk through the market. The Huai River was full of maple leaves, and there were boatmen and young men and women rowing. Many people bought food and sat under the bridge to eat. What event are you waiting for.A stage was set up by the river in the distance, and an opera began to be sung, which was about Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua's "Zhi Jin Wu".

"Officials should be treated as Jinwu, and wives should be regarded as Yin Lihua..." Chen Xing laughed.

Xiang Shu stood by the riverside, looking at the stage through the maple leaves. Chen Xing explained the story of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua to Xiang Shu. The two sat down by the river and listened for a while.While talking, Chen Xing found that Xiang Shu was a little distracted, thinking that he should not be very interested in these things, every time he was talking with great interest, but he never noticed that most of the time Xiang Shu just listened politely , had to give up.

"Why didn't you say it?" Xiang Shu asked strangely.

"Forgot." Chen Xing said boredly. After a while, he changed the topic and asked again: "Do you think Murong Chong..."

Xiang Shu was really impatient now: "Can you not mention the exorcism? I came out for the holiday today just to relax."

Chen Xing could only say, "Okay."

Xiang Shu: "Apart from these things, do you have anything else on your mind?"

Chen Xing had no choice but to say, "No, so the boring person is actually myself."

The two were relatively silent for a moment, then Chen Xing gave in and smiled.

"Is there anything to eat?" Chen Xing said, "I should bring something to eat today."

Xiang Shu got up and left without saying a word. Chen Xing thought he was going to buy hot food, so he didn't follow. After a while, he suddenly saw a banjo placed under a maple tree, with a Zhang Dian cloth, but the owner did not know where he went, maybe he went to the theater, so he took the qin, put it on his knee and tested the sound, and found that it was still a priceless guqin.

It's really rich... Chen Xing thought to himself, just throwing the piano with several hundred taels of silver on the ground doesn't matter, so he played it, and played a string of notes smoothly.

Xiang Shu bought lotus leaf steamed buns and shochu at the restaurant, and when he crossed the bridge and returned to the river, he suddenly heard the familiar music. Fusheng song played by Qiang flute.He only heard the sound of the piano intermittently, as if the player couldn't remember the turning point and the score of the piano, and after a few key changes, it was much softer than the sonorous Qiang flute.

Item statement: "..."

Standing on the bridge, Xiang Shu saw Chen Xing sitting far away by the river, with a Guqin in front of his knees, maple leaves fluttering, he played the piano seriously, thinking about it from time to time, the scenery was really a beautiful picture.

After a while, after playing the Fusheng song, Xiang Shu turned around and went down the bridge, and heard a song he had never heard before playing in the maple forest by the river.

At the beginning of the melody, there is no lack of loneliness and desolation, and there are only a few sounds, but then the strings intertwine rapidly, round after round, like silver beads bursting from the sky, and like heavy hammers.

The sound of the piano is urgent, and suddenly a gust of wind blows, and with the maple leaves all over the sky, it suddenly becomes clear, like a vast mist, the mountains are vast, and migratory birds return from south to north.The sound of the piano is soft, but in the eloquent sound of the piano, it reveals the magnificent momentum of mountains and seas.

Xiang Shu was engrossed in listening to it for a moment, but when Chen Xing suddenly noticed him behind him, he stopped playing the piano, turned around and said with a smile, "Did you buy it? I'm going to starve to death."

"What song?" Xiang Shu asked.

"Come back," Chen Xing said, "Tao Qian did it. I don't know if he's here today. What did you buy? Didn't you say you don't want to drink?"

"Drink less," Xiang Shu said, "You'll get drunk once you drink."

At this time, the owner of the Qin came back, and it was Wang Xizhi who was leading the family. The two parties met and exchanged greetings. Xiang Shu was impatient with his appearance. After eating, Chen Xing pulled him up. gone.

"Do you like that piece of music?" Xiang Shu asked suddenly.

"It sounds good," Chen Xing said, "but it only sounds good when you play the Qiang flute. I wanted to ask you how you learned the Qiang flute."

Xiang Shu said: "My father taught it. If you have time, find time to teach you. Can you play the zither?"

Xiang Shu was also a little surprised that Chen Xing could play the piano, but this accident must be like Chen Xing knowing that Xiang Shu could play the Qiang flute. The two sides' understanding of each other seems to be limited to exorcists and guardians.

"Zuozheng has disheveled hair," Chen Xing said with a smile, "It's crazy, I didn't study hard back then."

After the two crossed the bridge, Chen Xing said, "Do you want to fly a kite?"

"If you want to let me go, I'll let you go." Xiang Shu said casually.

Chen Xing felt bored again, and said, "Forget it."

After crossing the bridge, Xiang Shu glanced at the kite, but Chen Xing told him not to buy it.On the north bank of the Huai River, there is another larger market. This market is not like the one outside the bird clothing alley that sells the necessities of the nobles, but for the common people.Xiang Shu stopped and glanced at the mansions along the street and riverside, all of which were wine shops and shops.

"Isn't this the street Dongzhe gave you?" Chen Xing remembered.

"Well," Xiang Shu said, "it's all mine now."

Only then did Chen Xing realize that Xiang Shu was already a wealthy man in Jiankang, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing to do." Xiang Shu said, "I wanted to take a look at it today. I'll talk about the renovation and opening later."

"In the future?" Chen Xing said with a smile, "Do you want to live here?"

Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, but didn't say anything. Chen Xing wanted to say who said Jiangnan was boring just now?But after thinking about it, Xiang Shu is also half Han. Ever since he learned about his family origin in Kuaiji, Jiangnan is also his hometown. Why not stay here?

Chen Xing: "Will you invite me to your house as a guest?"

Xiang Shu said: "If you want."

The two walked through the long street, and suddenly saw many shopkeepers on the side of the road, holding up bamboo poles, and the poles were covered with the kind of shells that Chen Xing had seen before but didn't know where they came from, in pairs!

"Ah, this is it!" Chen Xing said, "How do you sell it? Why do everyone wear it?"

The peddler said seriously: "Two skewers? For girls, for lovers."

Chen Xing: "..."

No wonder!They all said it was given by someone else!

Chen Xing already had a bunch in his hand, so he didn't want to put it back. After buying it, who would he give it to?What's more, I don't have any money with me.

The shopkeeper said again: "This is called moon shell. You can only find it at the seaside on a full moon night. It's a twin. The guest officer is from the north? You buy it every day and give it to your sweetheart. It's a pair..."

"Oh, okay." Chen Xing thought for a while, held the red rope in his hand, and gave Xiang Shu a ghostly look.

Xiang Shu spread out his hands and gave the peddler some broken silver. The peddler asked for change, but Xiang Shu said, "There's no need to look for it, just take two strings."

Chen Xing's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he was holding one of the strings, which happened to be a pair with Xiang Shu's.The shopkeeper got the money, and happily said: "Thank you both, for a long time."

Is he going to give it to me?Chen Xing only felt that happiness came too fast and too suddenly, and his mind was dizzy for a while, but seeing Xiang Shu walking in front, he turned and glanced at him.

Item statement: "?"

Chen Xing looked at the red rope in his hand, was momentarily dazed, and then followed behind Xiang Shu.

Xiang Shu put the string of shells into his bosom, Chen Xing was a little confused, took the red string, and went back to the bridge, Xiang Shu never gave him his string of shells, and after a while, Chen Xing also took the string of shells. The hand strap is put away.

"You don't wear it?" Xiang Shu said.

"Forget it." Chen Xing smiled.

The two stood on the bridge, watching the river flow by, Chen Xing said, "Xiang Shu, who do you want to give it to?"

Xiang Shu didn't answer, Chen Xing said: "Keep it for now, you can give it to someone you like later."

Xiang Shu said "um" casually, and the maple leaves in the river flowed along the water, and Chen Xing said, "What kind of person do you want to be with in the future?"

Xiang Shu looked up at the sky, but said without answering, "It's getting dark, are you going back?"

Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu would not say more if he didn't want to say something, and if he really wanted to discuss it, it would only be unpleasant, so he said, "Wait, what are you doing over there?"

As the sky was getting darker, there were more and more people by the river, and many water lanterns were floating on the river. Chen Xing said, "I'll go and see what they are doing, and I'll go back after watching."

Xiang Shu followed Chen Xing off the bridge. After nightfall, the market gradually closed, and all the people in Jiankang came to both sides of the Huai River, and many stalls selling paper lanterns opened up along the river.After Chen Xing asked, he found out that after the Yongjia Rebellion, there was an unwritten custom of setting up a river lantern on the Huaihe River on the night of Jiankang Qiushe to mourn relatives.

"I'll buy one too," Chen Xing said, "So many people died because of me."

Xiang Shu said, "Then you have to buy all the river lanterns on the stall."

Chen Xing sighed and said, "Yes."

Xiang Shu wanted to ridicule Chen Xing, but he didn't understand, so he couldn't help but said, "You still blame yourself until now?"

Chen Xing said with a smile: "I know it all, but I can't let it go."

Xiang Shu had no choice but to buy all the lamps on the stand, borrowed a fire to break them, lit a candle, and lit the lamps for Chen Xing on the bank, and Chen Xing put them down one by one.The coachmen and people in Chang'an City, the king and queen of Akele, the Huns who died under Che Luofeng's hands, the Hu people in Chilechuan... Wu Qi and Zheng Lun from Kuaiji.

"Do you want some for Che Luofeng?" Chen Xing asked.

Xiang Shu: "Give some to your family first."

Chen Xing then took it, bowed and put the last lamp on the water, when he looked up, he suddenly saw Feng Qianjun and Gu Qing standing not far away, bowed and put down a lamp as well.

Xiang Shu whistled in the distance, and found that Xiao Shan was also there. Xiao Shan was sitting on the boat, Xie Daoyun supported the boat, and rowed under the bridge with another man. Xiao Shan knelt on the bow and put down a lamp. The lamp, presumably, was for Lu Ying.

"They are over there." Chen Xing signaled Xiang Shu to look.

Xiang Shu said "hmm", and when he got behind Chen Xing, he put the last lamp in his hand into the river.

Chen Xing saw another person on the other side, waving at them, but he didn't recognize him at first, but that person put a lamp not far in front of him, illuminating his face—it was Bi Hun!Bi Hun was also in Jiankang.

Chen Xing also waved his hand at him, and asked Xiang Shu, "Do you remember him?"

"Remember," Xiang Shu said lightly, "Lieutenant of Kuaiji City Defense, his lover died."

Chen Xing said seriously: "Xiang Shu, you always feel that I live as if I don't have myself, and let me not always pay attention to it, for fear that I will die. I often talk about many things, I have no choice, I can only accept The arrangement given to me by God, maybe occasionally I still feel dissatisfied, but ah, look at this time..."

When Bi Hun put down the water lamp, Chen Xing couldn't help but raised his hand, which was glowing with the light of the heart lamp, and all the people on both sides of the river looked at him for a moment.

Chen Xing watched them quietly, on the land of Shenzhou, these "people" who were full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, no different from him.

He slowly raised his right hand, put it in front of his body, and made a one-handed formula to everyone. It was the "Lamp Jue" in the spells he had learned since he was a child, which meant to light up the lamp to illuminate the surrounding fields, dispel the darkness, and shine in all directions. To show that in this dark night, I will never stop and bring them the strength to support their beliefs.

His hair was blown by the night wind, his eyes were closed, and the bright light illuminated his face.

"I just feel," Chen Xing said with a smile, "no matter what I pay for or how much I pay, I'm still willing to see them."

Xiao Shan, Feng Qianjun, Gu Qing, Xie Daoyun, Bi Hun... and the people on both sides of the Huai River seemed to understand what Chen Xing wanted to say. Thousands of people looked at the shining heart lamp and followed Chen Xing's example. , making a gesture of lighting the lamp.

Xiang Shu was silent for a moment, then turned around with everyone, facing Chen Xing, and made a lighting formula with his right hand, Chen Xing reflected in the bright white light in his eyes.

With the sound of horseshoes, Xie An rode his horse, crossed the Huaishui bridge and went down the river bank.

Chen Xing and Xiang Shu left the river, Bi Hun came over, and when he was about to talk to them, Xie An stopped by the road and said, "Finally found you, I have a good news or bad news, I want to tell you, little brother."

Chen Xing was slightly puzzled, but Xie An said: "Just got the news, three days ago, Murong Chong broke out with Wang Ziye in Chang'an, and Wang Ziye died."
