It would have taken about three months to travel from Kyoto to Yangzhou, but because Daiyu and his party speeded up, the time was more than twice as fast as usual.Coupled with Yinxiang's company, every day is not playing the piano and flute, joking and talking, or reading a few pages of poetry and books together, the life on the boat is not so sad.

One day, when the two of them were reading poems together, Daiyu seemed to have accidentally turned to the chapter on mountain ghosts in Songs of Chu:

If someone looks like a mountain, Xue Lixi takes the female dill; she looks at her and smiles, Zi Muyu is kind and graceful; she rides the red leopard and follows the raccoon, and the magnolia car carries the osmanthus flag; she is taken by Shi Lanxi Du, reminiscent of fragrance and sweetness, leaving behind thoughts; the rest of the place is secluded, and the sky will never be seen, and the road is dangerous and difficult, so come alone; the expression is independent, above the mountain, and the clouds are below; Rain; stay spiritual and cultivate and forget to return, when the age is old, which one is Huayu; pick three beautiful things in the mountains, Shi Leilei and vines; resent the son and forget to return, the king thinks about me and has no leisure; the people in the mountains are fragrant and Du Ruo , drinking stone springs and shady pines and cypresses; the king thinks about me and doubts;

If Yinxiang realized something, his eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Does Yu'er also like Qu Zi's "Mountain Ghost"?"

Daiyu nodded, "Mm", and then slowly took out a delicate purse from her sleeve, embroidered with lifelike Du Ruo flowers, just looking at such a sachet, it seemed to smell the fragrance of Du Ruo.

She lowered her head slightly, and handed the sachet to Yinxiang: "This, this is for you."

Yinxiang reached out to take it, and took this exquisite purse in his hand to look at it carefully.Daiyu's voice was so low that he had to concentrate his ears to hear it: "You also know that I am not from this era at all. I am not very good at embroidery. Don't be disgusted with it."

Yinxiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's hand, "How could I dislike it, it's too late for me to like it. This sachet is very well embroidered, I have never seen a better one gone."

Daiyu raised her head, her eyes sparkled: "Really? It's my first time embroidering. Don't you just try to make me happy."

Yinxiang carefully put the sachet away, leaned over, the tip of his nose almost touched Daiyu's, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to give me this?"

Daiyu looked at the smile in his eyes, and couldn't help dodging a little embarrassedly, "I saw that you only wear jade pendants on your waist, and you don't have this. Besides, girls in this era don't always give boys this Well, so I just..."

"So you embroidered this and gave it to me?"

Daiyu nodded, "I hope you like it."

Yinxiang laughed softly, his laughter was different from Qingyue when he spoke, but with a little low, but to Daiyu's ears, it was still as pleasant as ever.

Yinxiang couldn't help but sat down and hugged Daiyu, "Thank you, Yu'er. This is the best gift I've ever received." Then he took off the jade pendant that he had been wearing all the time from his waist, and pulled it over. Daiyu opened her hand and placed it solemnly in her palm, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the tiny red dot on Daiyu's hand, hurriedly pulled it closer to her eyes, and asked, "What is this?"

Seeing that he saw it, Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it was just a needle prick by chance."

Yinxiang's face was both distressed and moved, "I don't need to embroider these things for me in the future. Although the needle is small, it hurts a lot."

Daiyu withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "How can I be so delicate? Don't underestimate me. Although I am not good at embroidery at this time, there is also a kind of embroidery in our place called cross-stitch. It's easier. I still know how to embroider. Besides, I don't embroider for everyone, I depend on people."

Yinxiang looked at her trying to be brave and stopped forcing her, a little funny: "Well, I don't underestimate you. It's really my honor, I'm really happy. This jade pendant was given to me by my grandma back then. Mother's token of love, I'll give it to you now, and put it away properly, okay?"

Daiyu thought that the jade pendant was extraordinary, but she didn't expect such a story, so she declined immediately: "How can this be, this is your Ama and Erniang's token, how can I have the nerve to accept it?"

Yinxiang put the jade pendant in her palm and held it, "My mother-in-law gave me this jade pendant a long time ago. She told me that if I meet a woman I like in the future, I must give this to her. This jade pendant With her blessings for me and the one I love. Yu'er, I only want to be with you in this life, so please accept it?"

Yinxiang's affectionate look was too bewitching, and now Daiyu, who is not a person who likes to cry, started to cry again. She joked with a forced smile: "Could it be because I gave you a sachet?"

Yinxiang cooperated with her with a smile: "Yes, you have given me such a precious thing. If you give it a peach, I will naturally return it."

Daiyu nodded, leaning on Yinxiang's shoulder, holding the jade pendant tightly in her hand, nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll take it."

Bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the ship's windows. At this moment, neither of them spoke quietly, and they could even smell their breath in the cabin for a while.

I don’t know why, but even though it’s September, Daiyu remembered Lin Weiyin’s poem: You are the flowers blooming from tree to tree, you are the swallow whispering between the beams, you are love, warmth, and hope , you are the April day of the world!

For her, Yinxiang is her April day, where he is, no matter what happens, she will feel inexplicably at ease in her heart.With him by her side, she will not be afraid of fleeting years despite changes in personnel and vicissitudes.

Thinking about it, Yinxiang couldn't help laughing out loud, Yinxiang's tone was still so gentle, "What did you think of, smiling so happily?"

Daiyu smiled and replied in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just remembered a poem."

"Oh? I don't know what poem it is?" Yinxiang raised his eyebrows, looking very interested.

After Daiyu read it to him, Yinxiang said, "I've never heard this line before, but the meaning is easy to understand."

Daiyu explained to him: "Of course, these are not the ancient poems you have seen. They were written by a talented woman named Lin Huiyin many years later. The charm and excellence of her poems do not lie in the beauty of artistic conception and content. Purity also lies in the proficiency of form and the beauty of language. The poems use overlapping metaphors, and the imagery is beautiful without any embellishment, but it brings out the artistic conception and purity of the poem. It is more fresh and natural in the gorgeous decoration In terms of form, the poem adopts the poetic beauty principle of the Crescent Poetry School: emphasizing the harmony of rhythm, the sculptural beauty of language and the musicality of rhythm. This poem can be said to be the perfect embodiment of this principle, the jump of words and the The rhythmic harmony is almost perfect. Her poetic style is a combination of Western and classical, expressing a deep and long-term spiritual thought."

Yinxiang nodded and smiled, "This is the so-called 'clear water produces hibiscus, and natural carvings'."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Exactly. I can tell you about her and the New Moon School of Poetry when I have time later. Oh, by the way, there is an English version of this poem. Well, English is what you are talking about now. The language of the British Empire. In our day, English was compulsory at school. It’s embarrassing to say, but it’s one of the few English poems I remember.”

Yinxiang had never heard of these before, and couldn't help being very interested, "Then read it to me."

Daiyu cleared her throat, "You're the blooming flowers over the trees, You'reaswallow twittering between the beams; Fulloflove, fullofwarmhope, YouaretheSpringofthisworld! It's all right now, I'll teach you this English poem."

Yinxiang smiled and said, "Okay."

Daiyu didn't expect Yinxiang's language talent to be so good, but after only teaching him a few times, he would be able to speak it well, and he could speak it quite well.

The two were chatting enthusiastically when suddenly Qianxue lifted the curtain and came in from the outside, "Girl, it's time for lunch... Uh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know Mr. Ai was inside, you go on, go on! "After that, he backed out with a narrow smile on his face.

Daiyu jumped up in fright the moment she came in, her face flushed with shame, "It's so embarrassing!"

Yinxiang couldn't help laughing, "Okay, people have gone out, you can sit down."

Daiyu was ashamed and angry at the same time: "Hmph, she didn't know you were here! She did it on purpose! See if I don't hit her!" After saying that, she quickly ran out of the cabin.

Seeing her running out in a panic, Yinxiang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.This also goes too fast!Just now, she was leaning quietly on his shoulder and talking, but in the blink of an eye, she was so angry that she seemed to be a different person.Really like a child.

The author has something to say: By the way, I have always had a question, are works like Danmei popular in Jinjiang?Although gold will always shine, but for a transparent rookie like me who writes romance, this is really difficult~~~ Forget it, Rome was not built in a day, now I'd better move bricks slowly, as for building It can't be built into Rome, so let nature take its course.
