Painted skin jade series

How did Chen Yuhui and Wang Xuan meet?

At that time, scholars all packed their bags and rushed to the capital to take part in the big exam this spring.Chen Yuhui was among them.

The Chen family is rich, with a young son who was pampered since he was a child. In addition to being a handsome scholar, he also sent a reliable servant Liu Da who knows martial arts to drive around.

Along the way, the spring is full of joy, and it is quite novel for Chen Yuhui, who has never traveled far.Chang drew the curtains, leaned on the wooden car window and looked out.

Wang Xu'an didn't have such a good life. He ran into robbers on the road, robbed his money, scared his horse away, and the school boy ran away.With his sleeves rolled up, he was sitting downwind by the river and roasting a rabbit. This rabbit deserved to be unlucky, it crashed directly into a tree stump, and he took advantage of it.

Go out of this wilderness and find a market town. With the token on his body, he can exchange money from the bank and re-purchase all the things that came to Beijing.Wang Xu'an is very satisfied with his thoughtful plan.So he looked disheveled, he was not in a hurry, and he seemed to be at peace with the situation.

Here, the scenery is very beautiful, there are streams, rivers and mountains in front of it, the mountains are full of flowers, the trees are shady, the flowing water is gurgling, and the woodcutter's folk songs come from somewhere.

Then, with the rattling of horseshoes, a carriage came along the mountain road.After walking through this section of the mountain road, it is very close to Zhangling County. Many people who are on the road like to take a shortcut around this place. As the moon grows older, the mountain road becomes wider and wider.

When Wang Xuan saw the carriage, his eyes lit up, and he stretched his neck to greet him, to see if he could get on the carriage.I saw a young man lying on the car window, looking at him curiously. The young man was dressed in white brocade, with a blessing and longevity necklace around his neck, and a seven-treasure hairpin on his head. He looked like a rich man.The sapphire-blue car curtain lined the jade-like face, and the jet-black eyes were like two pills of black crystals, not to mention the rouge-colored lips, and the black and smoky eyebrows... Wang Xu'an's heart was pounding, and he watched the car drive away. In the past, he grunted his Adam's apple and swallowed.

Looking at the roasted rabbit in his hand, it was very shiny, and he didn't have much appetite anymore.

The car was introduced into the background of the mountains and mountains, and his heart also flew out.

Needless to say, since the incident with the Li family happened, after hearing the words of Daoist Danyang, Wang Xu'an stayed in the door and studied for three years, full of ambition and ambition.

People say that the green hills are easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.It's good that Wang Xu'an doesn't see beauties in normal times, but this time he met her, the eagerness in his heart couldn't be suppressed anymore, and he just met someone once, and he forced himself to be obsessed over and over again in his mind.Glancing at the tent under his crotch, Wang Xuan took a big bite of a rabbit's leg disapprovingly, and ate it quickly.

This road leads directly to Zhangling.After entering Zhangling, maybe we can meet again.

It's also a coincidence.The two lived in the same inn.

Tongfu Inn is the largest inn in Zhangling. At the moment, there are many people who are rushing to take the exam. From Zhangling to the waterway, they can directly take a boat to Beijing.

Chen Yuhui and his party arrived first and reserved two rooms.The tall and big Liu Da lives in a room alone, while Chen Yuhui and Xiaoshu Tong Xiuqing live in a room.I originally planned to stay for one night, find a good boat on the same day, and set off the next day.

However, the trip was delayed.

It turns out that the five-year Dragon King Festival in Zhangling County has arrived.The county will hold sacrificial activities to pray for peace in the river and waves and good weather.Zhangling County faces the river on both sides, and most of the people live on water, and they respect the Dragon King very much.No boatman is willing to offend Shenwei, and he is banned from leaving the river in the past few days.

Students who are willing to stay simply stay and watch the rare sacrificial activities.Those who don't want to wait, detour over the mountains and walk from neighboring counties, it will take an extra ten or eight days, and they will arrive.

Chen Yuhui and his party stayed behind. With this time, Chen Yuhui would rather study hard to prepare for the exam.His father is not in good health, and he only wants to get the test result as his father wishes.In fact, he is just a 15-year-old boy. My father sees his son's filial piety and loves it in his heart. He just wants to let him go out to see the world more, or to be at the bottom of the next entrance exam. How can I really hope that he can do it in one fell swoop? Get a great reputation.

Wang Xuan entered Zhangling disheveled and disheveled. He first went to Guangfa Bank to exchange the money, and then went to a clothing store to exchange for a new set. After tidying up, he asked the way and turned directly to Tongfu Inn.

The son on the carriage is rich and honored, so he naturally lives in a good inn.Many scholars lived in Tongfu Inn.Scholars want to cross the river to enter Beijing, and the Tongfu Inn is close to the river.With these few.Wang Xu'an was very determined.

Chen Yuhui led two servants to sit by the window on the second floor to eat. After eating, she was greedy for the river breeze and continued to sit and drink tea.

The little book Tong Xiuqing couldn't sit still anymore, he stared out, the downstairs was a bustling market, people were coming and going, selling all kinds of cakes and things, and playing monkeys and spitting fire, he wanted to go out to play, but the young master is a quiet and lazy Those who are not willing to take an extra step, let alone get stuck in the crowd.

Chen Yuhui saw the pleading look of the little book boy, felt it was funny, waved her hand, and asked Liu Da to take the child out to play.The little book boy was naturally happy, but Liu Da was not at ease, the young master was left alone for this person who was not familiar with the place.

Chen Yuhui said: "I'll go back to my room as soon as I sit down, you just go and come back soon." It was afternoon, and there were only a few people sitting in the huge inn. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Liu Da had no choice but to nod, Xiuqing kept tugging at his sleeves, he had nothing to do with him, he didn't understand that he was only two years younger than the son, so skinny as a monkey.But he really didn't care about it, and he didn't feel at ease if he let the monkey go out for a run.

Xiuqing is 13 years old, big eyes, round face, chubby, smart like a girl, loves to smile, and when she smiles, two canine teeth and dimples are revealed.If such a child is released, of course everyone will be worried.

Xiuqing pulled Liu Da, waved at Young Master, and happily went downstairs.

Just think of the danger of going out, but don't know that it's more attractive to stay.The building is in the downtown area, and people are by the window. When passers-by look up, they will see a dainty young man sitting on a windward position holding a celadon cup, just like a painting.

Chen Yuhui frowned slightly, with a look of concentration, not in a daze, but listening.Several people at the next table bumped their heads together, and they were talking about some confidential matter, but their voices were not low, with excitement that could not be concealed.It is about the sacrificial activities of the Dragon King Festival in Zhangling County.

"I didn't expect it to be the legendary 'Nine Dragons Carrying Corpse'. I really didn't expect it. No wonder people here murmur when they ask about it."

"Isn't it just for show? There was also a street parade that day. It was said that nine beautiful boys were dressed in women's clothes, sat in colorful sedan chairs, and played around. There will be many folk performances with local characteristics in the procession."

"You are stupid. The parade is for most people to see. How can there be any tricks. This 'Kowloon Corpse Carrying' is the most important and last link. Only the oldest and most prestigious people in the local area participate. Outsiders broke into , I want to 'crack', so it's only Qingjiang in the past few days."

"How is it possible for Qingjiang to be able to see the movement on the river while standing on the Tongfu Tower. Does it have to be close?"

"It's not at close range. How do you tell whether the corpse entering the river is real or fake, real or fake? Maybe when the black cloth is covered and the coffin lid is closed, who knows."

"No way……"

"Hmph, the Dragon King is not a vegetarian, since he is the one who serves, how could he use straws!"

"When you say that, my back feels cold."

"Don't tell me, I'm afraid too. In this Zhangling County, many people will die every time they sacrifice. They die inexplicably, with strange faces, and they can't be found out. The corpses are all thrown into the ancient well on the mountain. It is said that the well leads directly to Jiang Hai, so those who die are counted as escorts."

"Why don't we go to the river to have a look that day?"

"No, you don't want to die, I want to die..."

"..."
