Chapter 2: Begging for Qiaoyuan to be Untitled
Mingli thirty-sixth year
The misty and rainy weather is warm in spring, and the color is full of joy.
The water is as clear as water, soft and graceful, and the city is charming. The rustling wind breaks people's intestines, and the acacia is scattered in the palms.
The soft wind blows gently at the Albizia julibrissin flowers. The spring rain is as moist as a crisp, and the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing.
The pretty lady is wrapped in light makeup, and her light body can be shaken by the wind. The breeze lifts her clothes, and she stands looking up like a picture scroll.
The clear eyes are pure and without any blemishes. The smile on the corner of the mouth is deeply touching.
A black shadow came quietly. In the quiet night, under the moonlight, the face was completely submerged under the mask. Only those deep eyes were slightly mysterious and unknown.
"Miss." She called as calmly as water. She didn't want to disturb her too much, but she stood there in a state of confusion.
"Do you know how lively it is outside?" He refused to put down the cherry blossoms in his hands, and smiled charmingly: "July 7, the day of reunion."
Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, how could he not know: "Do you want Nian Qing to take the young lady out of the house?"
She clearly knew that even if she let Nian Qing take him out secretly, she would not spare him when he came back.
She will always remember the time when her brother took her back to her hometown when she was twelve years old. That day happened to be July 7th. When she saw Nian Qing in ragged clothes and being bullied, she asked her brother to come to her rescue.
It was through this rescue that she became his benefactor.
'I will never forget the grace of saving my life. I am willing to be a small nurse to take good care of my lady.';
But she has never asked him. A person who protects himself must have martial arts skills. How can he be bullied by others?
'The little one looks ugly, I hope the lady doesn't dislike him.'
Only then did she realize that he was born with an ugly face and was easily bullied. Indeed, she was really shocked when she saw him that day.
A mask was carefully prepared for him. He said he liked the black one so that others could not see his appearance clearly at night and would not be looked down upon.
He said his name was 'Nian Qing', and laughed at him: Nian Qing, Nian Qing, are you missing your sweetheart?
But when I saw his exposed eyes, it was a bit scary. He didn't have much contact with the people in the house, and he was always elusive, and you didn't know where he would go. In addition to practicing martial arts with his brother, he liked to follow her little boy whenever he had nothing to do.
benefactor.
He gave me a small whistle, which was carved from fine jade.
He said blow this whistle and I will appear in front of you.
At first, I thought he was lying, so I started to play tricks, and sure enough, he showed up. But after this back and forth, he knew clearly that he was playing a trick on him, and he didn't get angry at all.
When he gets angry, to an outsider, he is probably frightened and bloodthirsty. But when he comes to her, he doesn't feel a trace of sinisterness.
I remember once being playful, her father punished me so that if I didn't study hard, I wouldn't be able to see him. And he was punished by his father to kneel for five days. She blamed herself and ran to kneel with him.
'Miss, please don't come. In the future, Nian Qing will just watch silently and will not do anything against common sense again. Miss, please come back.';
Those cold words seemed like strangers between the two of them.
In the past few years, he has been like a shadow, following me silently. Occasionally, I will play the flute and I will know that he is around.
It seemed that she had become accustomed to being around him. She didn't want to delve too much into his life experience, and he didn't want to say more.
To her, Nian Qing was her childhood playmate, and now she is as close a relative as her brother when she becomes an adult.
And she is the most cherished second young lady in the Ye family, and the most talented woman known throughout Xuandu City. No one has missed her beauty so far, and everyone speculates who such a talented woman will marry.
The Ye family comes from a scholarly family, his father is a first-rank scholar, and his eldest brother Ye Xunyu is the commander of the palace.
"The water is rippled, delicate and graceful, and the orchid heart is full of wisdom - Yilan."
This was the name her mother had given her before she left. When Ye Yilan was not yet born, her mother was already a well-known talented woman. Even **** had some inexplicable reasons.
Ye Zixu has not taken a house yet because of the vow of 'one person for the rest of my life'.
Ye Yilan guessed that he had long forgotten that today was his birthday. He said that he didn't know when his birthday was, so she counted the time when the two met as his birthday in this life.
"Nian Qing wants to take Lan'er out of the house, so Lan'er will go with her, okay?" Every year at this time, she would secretly cook a bowl of noodles for him. But this year, she wanted to go out and take him out to see him.
lively.
Looking at those eager eyes, Nian Qing immediately avoided them, not daring to keep staring.
"Nian Qing, please lead the way for Miss."
He never refuses her requests.
Walking to his side, looking down, he couldn't help laughing: "Nian Qing has never been like this. Today, he seems to be a different person. He doesn't dare to look at me."
Nian Qing's heart was haunted by the fact that it was indeed the first time since she grew up that she didn't dare to look at her today. That was because of her appearance.
Looking at his slender hands like a woman, she put the albizia flower in her hand into her palm and said, "This is for you."
'Send it in the palm of your hand, look forward to it with joy, where will your heart go?';
Nian Qing laughed at himself, carefully wrapped the piece of albizia flower in Pajuan and put it in his arms.
The lights dimmed, the clouds rose over the magpie bridge, Zhi Lang met, it was July 7th.
The Kongming lanterns hanging in the sky are all for lovers to meet at Magpie Bridge.
Ye Yilan looked at what she saw and heard, and pulled Nian Qing to point to the bridge in front of her: "Nian Qing, are they meeting their sweethearts when they go to the bridge?"
Living in a boudoir, she knew nothing about ordinary things and looked at them in confusion.
Nian Qing took a look at his own clothes. He was afraid that he would be laughed at if he appeared here like this. He immediately pulled her back as she was about to leave: "Miss, Nian Qing won't accompany you to the Magpie Bridge Fairy. I'll just wait here."
."
In the past, he would accompany him to the huge Xuandu City, but today...
Ye Yilan stared at his clothes. He was feeling inferior. Even if there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, he didn't want to embarrass him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will get lost?" No matter how much he asked, he still made the same decision. Ye Yilan no longer forced him: "That's right, I have the whistle you gave me."
Nian Qing stood there, watching her walk towards the crowd. After a long pause, she said, "Today, it is enough for Nian Qing to look at you silently."
Under the Magpie Bridge Fairy, under the dark night, the lake no longer becomes azure, but is printed with a pink lake sea.
Rumor has it that a woman from the Heavenly Clan went down to earth and met the man she loved by the lake. But how could the love between the two last long? It was said that Heavenly Clan and mortals could not fall in love. In order to be with the one she loved, the woman not only sacrificed
It violated the rules of heaven and offended the Lord of Heaven.
Then he asked her to make a choice between his life and the Love-forgetting Water. A woman from the Heavenly Clan had given her sincerity, so how could she take the Love-forgetting Water and abandon their love. No, she couldn't let him die either. After that,
She then made a decision to throw herself into the lake and sea, transforming into a statue and immersing herself in the river at the bottom of the lake.
Ever since the girl from the Heavenly Clan drowned herself in the lake, the man has placed lotus lanterns by the river every day to prevent her from being able to see the road ahead at the bottom of the lake. It would illuminate her way home clearly, and he would watch over her return at home.
.
A few years later, he left. There were no lotus lanterns in the lake, and he made a wish on the last lantern: The lotus emerges from the mud without being stained. I hope you will appear in front of me intact when you come out, even if it is a few times.
I am willing to wait for you for thousands of years to protect this sea.
The glazed tears of love are like arrows to return to the heart, and we meet again on the other side.
Colored lanterns hung on every side street. Ye Yilan had already been submerged in the crowd. Her eyes never left the bridge and she walked slowly involuntarily.
The slight breeze blew her away, and she looked so cute from a distance.
"Do you want me to recite poems with the young master next to me?"
When she walked down the bridge, she was stopped by the old man. He talked to the young man next to her, but there was a curtain in the middle and she couldn't see clearly what the man looked like.
Seeing the girl's hesitation, the old man glanced at the young man and said slowly: "As long as one side wins, they can get something from the other side. When we meet on a magpie bridge, we must see each other eventually. The curtain will open."
Why is it difficult for her to recite poems? Sending a token is equivalent to confirming love.
There are thousands of men in the world, but none of them can fall into Ye Yilan's eyes.
She always remembers what her father said: 'If Lan'er wants to marry, she should marry someone who is more talented than herself, otherwise no one will be worthy of my daughter.';
Just because of this sentence, she has extremely high demands on her husband.
"Then please give me a question!" He looked at the curtain beside him. The candlelight reflected him in the curtain, and all he could see was his straight sorghum nose.
The corners of the man's mouth were slightly raised, and he could charm the hearts of all women from the side view.
Ye Yilan never heard the man speak a word. She saw him hand the old man a piece of paper and heard the title of the first poem - Untitled.
'Untitled' means that there are no restrictions on this song, you can freely use your talents to decide.
"He actually wanted to understand each other's writing, so he was so casual. This question is really wonderful." I secretly admired him in my heart and started writing without thinking.
The old man exchanged the papers on both sides, and Ye Yilan saw that the words were strong and powerful, and his writing was like clouds and flowing water. However, although his poem was only four short lines, he wrote his own artistic conception vividly.
"Mirrors, flowers, water and moon crisscross each other, and your heart can't help but wonder;
In the middle of the night, I dreamed about the loss of my beloved, and kept watch with double images and double hearts."
His hidden meaning is incredible, as if he is telling a story, a metaphor for a person in a dream, but there is the same face in this dream, and the woman does not know that even she herself does not know. It is just that he is protecting the woman he loves.
Although his poems are easy to understand, they give people a very strange feeling.
Such poems are not his true side, he is staying behind.
He is testing each other, and his thoughts are really thoughtful.
"The longing for lovesickness is deep in my bones, and the red bean relieves my sorrow. The young cavalryman Yin Hongran walks for a long time leaning against the dim scenery alone;
However, the love is shallow, but Nirvana is flourishing on the other side. Looking through the autumn water slowly, the blood and frost stain the fingers and shed tears.
