Yan Wang Ah Qi Volume 1

Yan Qi looked at herself in the mirror.The person in the mirror is a woman, with a petite figure and a pale complexion, her pupils cut water, and a pool of cold water was cut open.She was dressed in white clothes that were spotless, and her blue silk was like a dream.

This is Shangguan Yao in his memory.

Shangguan Yao was the only one he remembered.

500 years ago, Shangguan Yao defeated the other six battle spirits and got the chance to pray to the magic cup.

The wish she made was to reverse Lu Yan's life and make him have nothing to do with Shangguan Yao.

Almost at the same time as she drank the water of Wangchuan, Yan Qi put his palms together and instantly opened the absolute domain of King Yama to resist all outside intrusions.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yao disappeared before the water in the jue cup was finished.Even if a soul is extinguished, it will gradually dissipate, instead of being erased instantly without leaving a trace like her.

Yan Qi soon discovered that the way for the magic cup to fulfill Shangguan Yao's wish was to erase her existence.Completely eliminate the existence of a person and a soul from the world and from the underworld.Shangguanyao from Furongyuan, Shangguanyao from Lu Mansion, Shangguanyao from Huangquan Road, Shangguanyao who was a magician, Shangguanyao who was from the top of the seven evil spirits... all disappeared and never existed.Completely, without leaving any room, annihilates a soul.

Ink Suzhou, green willows and stone bridges, is the season when lotus leaves are full of ponds and flowers are blooming everywhere.

In the courtyard of Shangguan's house, two little girls were playing in and out of the corridor.

The two girls are about the same age, cardamom years.The girl dressed as a young lady is called Shangguan Yu, and the other is her personal maid, Shangguan Yao.Shangguan Yao was an orphan, and was brought back to the mansion by his wife since childhood.The old lady treats her as her own. Although she is a maid, she actually eats and uses the same food as Shangguan Yu.The relationship between the two sisters is even better. The two learn to read and write on the piano together, laugh and have fun, and dilute the melancholy of the long rainy season in Suzhou.

On that day, the Lu family in Hangzhou came to visit, and Lu Yan was among them.The adults were discussing business matters in the lobby, and Lu Yan was playing around in the garden under the care of the Shangguan family's book boy.

Through the window pane of the corridor, Shangguan Yao saw Lu Yan walking silently on the gravel road.At that time, Lu Yan was only fourteen years old, wearing fine brocade, well-tailored, white suet jade on the waist, and blue tassels falling, which complemented the blue and white dress.He was originally a young man dressed in rich clothes and rich food, but his eyes were dim and lifeless, as if he didn't care about anything.

Shangguan Yu followed her gaze, glanced at her, and whispered, "He should be Lu Yan. Mother told me about him last time." Thinking it was inconvenient to speak through the pane, Shangguan Yu ran to the official On Yao's side, "According to my mother, the Lu family may want to marry the Shangguan family. But I heard people say that this Lu Yan... tsk, it's a bit strange."

"It is said that he only has one friend in Hangzhou, and that is the notorious young master of the Xu family. Besides, no matter who he sees, he usually looks half asleep, and he always answers whatever you ask, which is very boring." She pointed to the bookboy who was following Lu Yan, "Look, even A Lin, a chatterbox, can only muffle his voice when he meets him. Usually we can't even block his mouth."

What Shangguan Yu said was very reasonable. Anyone who saw A Lin's unlovable expression now knew that he was about to be aggrieved to death.But Lu Yan couldn't see it, because he kept his head down and walked silently, without any intention of turning back to see if A Lin was still alive.

The two little girls finally couldn't bear it, they walked to the round gate and met Lu Yan Alin face to face.

"Hi, my name is Shangguan Yu, I am 13 years old this year. She is my younger sister, Shangguan Yao, and she is also 13 years old this year." Shangguan Yu's self-introduction has not changed since she was five years old. If it is an occasion where Shangguan Yao is not around, She will also add a sentence on her own initiative, "I also have a younger sister named Shangguan Yao, who is also 13 years old this year."

Lu Yan was a little frightened at first, after all, they were two strangers who came out of nowhere.Hearing Shangguan Yu's straightforward self-introduction, coupled with his similar age, made him less wary.He raised his head slowly, pursed his lips and said, "Lu Yan." After a while, he added three words, "14 years old." Shangguan Yu laughed out loud.In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Alin's talent was completely liberated, and he talked about everything from Suzhou's osmanthus cake to Songshan's Shaolin Temple.In the end, Shangguan Yu couldn't take it anymore, so she suggested to let the two boys listen to the piano music they had just learned.

The sound of the qin is beautiful and lively, and the two guqins on the left and right play the same melody, but there is no trace of disorder, like a clear spring flowing through the heart, soft and peaceful, soft and moist.

After finishing the song, Lu Yan suddenly asked, "What's the name of this song?"

"Qin Xin."

Five years later.

Suzhou Shangguan's family is in decline, and the master and wife die in depression.Fortunately, Shangguan Yu has married into the Liu family in Nanjing. Although she often supports her natal family, it is difficult to save the near fire.After Shangguan Yu agreed, Shangguan Yao sold the mansion and exchanged it for silver taels to pay off the debt.The Shangguan couple treated Shangguan Yao as if they were their own children, not to mention that the eldest lady Shangguan Yu is already a married woman, so it can only be done by Shangguan Yao on behalf of the Shangguan family to relatives and friends.

Shangguan Yao was well aware of this, so the day after she sold the mansion, she set foot on the merchant ship to Hangzhou without hesitation.

By the West Lake, misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River.

In the hazy drizzle, Shangguan Yao came to the Lu residence.

The Shangguan family's reputation in the market has always been good, and it is difficult to pay off their debts. This kind of benevolence, righteousness and virtue are deeply appreciated by the Lu family.Seeing the weak girl of Shangguan Yao shivering in the rain alone, the wife of the Lu family was even more compassionate, she immediately led her into the guest room, and announced on her own initiative: "Yaoer, you will live in the Lu family during this time in Hangzhou. Let’s go.” The Shangguan’s family does most of the silk business, and [-]% of the creditors are in Hangzhou. Now that the Lu family is staying overnight, they will naturally save the trouble of staying in an inn.But Shangguan Yao still understood the principle of not being rewarded for meritorious deeds, and just as she was about to decline, Lu Yan paid a sudden visit, saying that she had painted a lot of paintings recently and urgently needed someone to appreciate them.So Shangguan Yao stayed in the Lu residence.

Lu Yan saw that Shangguan Yao's road to repaying debts in Hangzhou City went extremely smoothly.In his spare time, Lu Yan would spread out rice paper on the West Lake cruise ship, sketch with a brush, and stipple with ink.Shangguan Yao played in the water and enjoyed the scenery, or ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake, or tasted Longjing.The two spent a peaceful and wonderful time in this way.

At that time, Shangguan Yao already knew that Lu Yan treated her differently from others. 19-year-old Lu Yan, although a well-known young painter in Hangzhou, was alienated by others because of his withdrawn personality. His originally handsome and sunny peach blossom eyes were dull because of lack of luster.However, during the time spent with Shangguan Yao, a clear spring suddenly appeared in his eyes, breaking through the fog barrier, washing away the dust, and watering the peach forest in his pupils into blooming flowers and falling flowers.

When parting, Lu Yan gave Shangguan Yao a painting.In the painting, a lone white bird is drinking water by the lake, the other fish are frightened and run away, only a black koi swims against the trend towards the white bird.

Lu Yan inscribed two words on the upper right corner of the rice paper: Qingxin.
