In the picturesque Mochou Lake, a painting boat floats on the crystal clear lake, a few small people throw down food, the fish in the water compete lively, and the boat seems to fall into a brief silence.

Xu Run, who had been holding back for a long time, finally pointed to the blue sky and said: "There is nothing certain in life. Qin Yan You look at the natural clouds, they always go in one direction, and sooner or later the clouds behind will catch up with the clouds in front, even if they can't catch up, they are not far away. ”

Qin Yan looked up at the sky and sighed, "I'm afraid that some wind will blow them away."

Xu Run was stunned and said, "Why can't the wind blow them together?"

Qin Yan was amused by him and said, "Then there has to be wind on all sides."

"I'm afraid that there will be wind on all sides." Xu Zhu squeezed his eyebrows and smiled, and Xu Run also smiled.

At this time, Mr. Sheng said to Xu Yu: "I remember that last year I was also on this Mochou Lake, and Lao Zhu wanted to make a drinking order for the Water Margin, when Su Lan took a sign from the second uncle of Pan Jinlian Xue Tianxi, Su Lan's demeanor at that time was no longer so funny." Unexpectedly, she casually said that Qin Yan and Brother Run really had no chance. ”

Xu Yu was worried that Qin Yan would hear him, so he didn't speak. Xu Run, who was behind, said: "Let's go to that river, go out of the city, and go outside the city."

Xu Zhu said: "The water level soared yesterday, how can this boat pass?"

Qin Yan pointed in one direction and said: "It's better to take the tributary of the Qinhuai River over there, cross the sluice, go upriver to the Yangtze River, and simply go north to Liaodong in one breath, and then go to Goryeo together."

"That's not going to happen." Xu Yu said with a smile, "If you are serious about going to Goryeo, you should take a sea boat." ”

In the afternoon, Xu Yu returned home, and said to Zhu Mingzhi and others in the Xicui Pavilion: "In vain, you compose poems all day long, and today I have learned the touching scene, which makes people cry."

"How?" Mu Lanxiang asked.

Xu Yu said: "Today we bid farewell to Qin Yan, Uncle Run improvised a word, Qin Yan read: 'What is the matter with the clouds? Q: Is it really here this time, the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten?' How?"

Zhu Nephrite said: "As soon as you open your mouth, it hurts so much, but you want to see what happens next, you can say it quickly."

Qin Yan only read one sentence, and he was already choked up at that time, and he had already shed tears when he reached the four words of the sea and the rocks. Xu Yu sighed lightly, and said leisurely: "Parting is ordinary everywhere, and my soul is gone." It's gone, and a few times the intestines are broken. Only the road is growing today, looking forward to Yintang, not across the autumn river. Who would like to change the environment. ”

Zhu Mingzhi frowned and said, "Really, since you can't leave Qin Yan behind, then why bother to make her sad in vain?"

"Really?" Xu Yu scratched his head, as if this was the reason.

Yunyu urged: "Keep talking, keep talking, it's really very poignant."

"The Ming Dynasty bid farewell to the long pavilion, endured the clothes, cherished the voice, and this heart was even more chaotic." Xu Yu said.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, several girls could experience the bleak scene at that time, and heard Xu Yu say again: "Where is the end of the world outside the door, but seeing the vast rivers and lakes, it is also difficult to be sad, and half of the sadness." If you are worried that the dream soul can't fly, try the night and call each other. Ink and tears, please cherish. ”

At this point, everyone was moved, standing there one by one, with a long aftertaste.

In the evening, in the depths of the green clouds, Hongwen specially held a bowl of lotus seed soup and sent it, which made Xu Yu very embarrassed, Mu Lanxiang didn't know that the two of them had a little awkwardness, and asked with a smile: "Hongwen, Yu'er is about to have a birthday, do you remember?"

"yes, the day is coming." Hongwen smiled: "I almost forgot."

Mu Lanxiang said: "We have discussed it today, and we want to celebrate his birthday."

Hongwen said with a smile: "On that day, the slave and maid will definitely pay homage to the second master, how can the second master invite us?"

Seeing this, Xu Yu, who was naturally restored, said, "You haven't said anything about giving a gift, but you want me to treat you first."

"This is easy to do, and we will discuss a charter tomorrow." Hongwen said and clapped her hands, "The slave family still has something to do." Girl, I'll go back first. With that, he turned around and left.

Xu Yu said helplessly: "She doesn't want to say a word now."

Mu Lanxiang smiled: "What did you say? I'm leaving too. ”

Xu Yu hurriedly said: "Sit for a while, it's rare for you to come."

"Okay." Mu Lanxiang sat naturally for a while, and the two talked and laughed, and then got up to say goodbye.

As soon as she left, Zhu Mingzhi walked over, Xu Yu happily invited her to the house, and said again and again: "Sister has been rare recently."

Zhu Mingzhi said lightly: "I often come here when you are here, but it's rare for you to be at home."

Xu Yu smiled: "Anyway, it's rare, let's sit for a while."

"Nope." Zhu Mingzhi shook his head, "Lan Xiang just left with her front foot, I sat for a long time, and I turned around and asked them to laugh." ”

Xu Yu smiled: "Since you are afraid of people laughing, why did you come to me again?"

Zhu Mingzhi's face turned red suddenly, and he said, "I originally passed by here, and I planned to go to the study to find a few books to read, and when I saw you standing in the courtyard, I just came in and said hello."

"Most of my books are private lifelong in the back garden of some talented and beautiful people, so let's talk about some interesting things." Xu Yu laughed as he spoke, "I've been thinking about it lately, why don't we talk about going out to play?"

"Really?" Zhu Mingzhi was overjoyed in an instant, and asked expectantly, "Can you go to Suzhou?" I want to visit Meixian. ”

After talking continuously and walking in the garden for a long time, Zhu Mingzhi, who was excited, felt thirsty and picked up Xu Yu's teacup on the table.

Xu Yu hurriedly pressed her hand and said, "It's already cold, I'm afraid you'll have a stomachache if you drink it." My bowl of lotus seed soup is still hot, find another bowl, let's share it. ”

"No, drink it yourself." Zhu Mingzhi said.

"Let's eat separately, and it's fun to eat." Xu Yu turned around and found a jade bowl and poured the lotus seed soup inside.

Because there were other people in the room, Zhu Mingyi shook his hand, "It's really a child's temper, I won't be with you anymore." ”

"Don't go." Xu Yu wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he had to chase him out and wave goodbye.

He stood in the courtyard in a daze, in the past few days, no one came to him when he was free, tonight was weird, the Zhu sisters came first, and then they all arrived.

It seems that Uncle Run's poem is strange, so that they sigh with emotion and cherish the person in front of them, Xu Yu thought about it, and couldn't help but be very happy.

He doesn't have the troubles of men in later generations stepping on several boats and making difficult choices, nor does he have the entanglements in ancient romances, nor does he have the soul of Jia Baoyu and others in the Red Mansion, and it is not a matter of four daughters marrying a husband.

Of course, this all depends on his Lao Tzu paving the way in advance, ignoring the identity of any big or small family, otherwise it is almost impossible to complete the 'great cause'.

At the same time, Su Lan and Hui Lan rushed to say goodbye to Qin Yan, and the three women sat for a long time without saying a word.

Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that it was not early, Huilan took Qin Yan's hand with emotion and said, "You are all right now, you have gone ashore, and we are still in the water." I think that a dozen or so people of the same age will die after arriving in the capital, and they will be scattered, and there will be only a few of us left. You're going to go now, leaving only me, Su Lan, and Huifang. Remember when you were on the ship? You don't want to fall into the dust, you want to jump into the river at night, I grabbed you, and you still hate me. I said I want to jump into the river, so let's jump together, you just do. ”

Su Lan also remembered the past and said: "Everyone cried in the middle of the night that night, and Qin Yan tore the handkerchief to pieces. It was only in the morning that he found out that he had torn my veil. Qin Yan also took a new one and returned it to me. I remember when I got Jiang Ning, the boat was broken, we hid in the cabin to avoid the wind, Huilan was afraid of the cold, and she fell asleep in my arms, and Qin Yan cried and slept in her arms, alas, think about it like yesterday. After arriving in Jinling, we separated, and everyone was not sad at that time. Thankfully, God took care of us, and we were able to meet at Qiushuitang. ”

After hearing these words, where can Qin Yan endure it? Tears have already flowed down my face. Hui Lan hurriedly said: "The crystal cat you gave me before, I still treat it as a baby. Now I practice calligraphy every day and use it as a paperweight. Last year, a good sister begged for it, but I refused to give it to her, saying that my sister gave it to me, and I wanted to keep it. ”

Qin Yan, who was in tears, untied his clothes, and took out an amber pendant with a jade butterfly on it, "What my sisters gave me, I will keep it, and I will take it underground until I die." ”

Qin Yan, who was holding Huilan's hand tightly, took Su Lan's hand again, and choked up: "I am such a hard-working person, I go to North Korea here, I don't know what will happen if I am not familiar with the place, and it will probably not be good." It's better for you to be in the capital, the second young master promised to take care of you, and they also took care of each other. Now that I'm leaving, it's just a matter of going with the flow. If the heavens see mercy, after a year or two, my father-in-law may enter Beijing again, then I will definitely come back with me, and we sisters will finally see each other again, I don't know; Maybe you leave Jinling, in the field of Pingshui meeting maybe, in short, if the fate of this life is tonight, it is also the number of days, irretrievable, I have to pray for goodbye in the next life, I hope that the relationship with my sisters continues, and it will be good to be sisters in the next life. ”

Talking and crying again, the tears of the liver and intestines are really broken, compared to the crying when he was with Xu Run during the day, how sad is it ten times?

Su Lan couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly said: "Don't cry, since ancient times, there has been a natural combination." Didn't you see Master Xu San today? You must know that his old man will definitely not appear in front of you for no reason, so I dare to assert, isn't Master Jin allowed you to return to Beijing? Besides, we can also go to North Korea to visit, so you have to put your mind away, and it is important to take care of your body along the way. Our sisters will see each other again, remember!"

"Master Xu San?" Qin Yan muttered.

"Su Lan is right." Hui Lan echoed, and glanced at Su Lan intentionally or unintentionally, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of clarity in her eyes, "Okay, okay, don't cry." According to me, your father-in-law is a good man, and he will not abuse you, nor will he be like such mundane things that do not want you. Besides, he doesn't have a biological daughter, so it's needless to say that he's good to you. You are beautiful and smart, he teaches you a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you will definitely regard it as a pearl in your palm. Illustrious! Don't forget your sisters in distress in the future, maybe we will go to you again. ”

"yes, yes." Su Lan also seemed to have an understanding, glanced at Hui Lan, and said with a smile: "How envious we are, there are good mountains and rivers all the way here, and there is no end to the tour." When I think Jinling is depressed next year, I will simply go to you, I really don't want to sing to accompany the guests. ”

Qin Yan wiped her tears, burst into tears, and suddenly said worriedly: "If you can come to me, it will be great, but I have to live, if I am already dead, what will you do?" You must send a letter to inquire first, and then come back after receiving my reply, and you must not cross the sea alone. ”

Su Lan smiled: "What are you afraid of, do the North Koreans still dare to eat me?" Don't forget the strong ships and cannons of our Daming Naval Division!" (To be continued......)
