The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

Spring is coming to an end, and the colors that can be seen from the windows are also looking monotonous.The clumps of green make people inexplicably irritable.

Liu Shenyan was holding the brush and watching the ink slowly seep into the rice paper.

Section after section, thousands of branches gather thousands of leaves, I will not bloom, and I will not tease bees and butterflies.

He doesn't want to interfere with all kinds of things in the world, but he is always involuntarily stirred into them, maybe like a bird in a cage, with no worries about food and clothing, no worries about wind and rain, but no freedom.

Still, who needs freedom?Who cares about freedom?

Would he be willing to leave behind his current life as a young master to endure hardship?

Liu Shenyan raised the corners of his lips and shook his head, he was just an ordinary person.

Glancing at the invitation card on the table, it was from Xuqing again, inviting him to swim in the lake.

In fact, what is there to swim in the lake?

After so many years in Kyoto, shouldn’t it be time to visit all the mountains, rivers and rivers in the capital?

Invite again now?

Liu Shenyan was a little afraid to go.

When some things are left undisclosed, perhaps they can still be utterly honest and undisclosed...

Apart from running away, Liu Shenyan couldn't think of any other way.

Touching the bead in his bosom, Liu Shenyan wanted to laugh inexplicably, sometimes it is so magical, an object is too lazy to discard, or the reason why he can't bear to discard it is because someone else gave him an additional reason.

Maybe the gold beads are nothing to me, but with a gift from Xuqing, I won't throw them away.

Why not discard it?Is it because Xuqing sent it?

Thinking about it, Liu Shenyan shook his head, how was Xu Qing sent off?What about others?Is it precious if you slip away the gold?

Hehehe, just give yourself a reason.

As for the motivation for that reason...

Perhaps, there is really a little charming feeling.

Liu Shenyan didn't want to ask any more questions, and he didn't want to have emotional entanglements with Xuqing from the bottom of his heart.

Putting the writing brush back on the table, looking at the ink stains on the table, Liu Shenyan sighed, and called a servant to deal with it, then changed into a suit that fit him, took the invitation card, and left the Liu residence.

The ferry from Liu Mansion to the lake is not far at all.

Liu Shenyan reached the lakeside without taking a few steps while fanning his fan.

When Liu Shenyan arrived at the lake, he was taken aback by Xuqing's battle. There was no one around the lake. It stands to reason that the bright sun is a good time to swim in the lake!Look around the lake again, the willows are blowing up in the wind, the birds are chirping and the water is green, it is very leisurely, Xu Shiqing remembers that he is happy and quiet.

Liu Shenyan took out the post from his bosom, opened it, took a glance at it, and saw that it said Huxin Pavilion.

Huxin Pavilion?

Liu Shenyan frowned, how could he find the boatman in a land with no one?

Liu Shenyan closed his fan, took a few steps forward, and planned to go to the ferry, but he never expected that a boat would pass by before he reached the ferry.

Seeing a boat approaching, Liu Shenyan calmly yelled at the boat, "Boatman, boatman!"

"Hey!" Seeing someone calling, the boatman rowed the boat over.

When the boat was approaching, Liu Shenyan saw that the boat owner was an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, and the boat was dilapidated.

Liu Shenyan frowned, "Can I go to the Huxin Pavilion?"

"Going, I wonder how much the young master plans to give?" The boatman's voice was so hoarse that the age could hardly be discerned.

"How much?"

"Is it okay to talk about the young master when we arrive?"

"That can't be done!"

"Why is this?" The boatman was a little surprised.

"I'm worried that I don't have enough silver with me." Liu Shenyan said flatly.

"Then three..." The boatman tentatively spoke, and his trembling voice let Liu Shenyan know that there was still room for negotiation.

Before the boatman finished speaking, Liu Shenyan stretched out three fingers.

"Three taels of silver?"

"This..." The boatman was a little uncertain.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today! San Ding is ready!" Liu Shenyan smiled indifferently and jumped on the boat.

As soon as Liu Shenyan jumped on board, the boat violently shook a pile of water, splashing the clothes Liu Shenyan had just put on.

Seeing Liu Shenyan acting like this, the boatman got a little angry, "Young man, you did this..."

"Just be happy!" Liu Shenyan supported the edge of the boat and sat down.

"Hmph, aren't you entertaining us?" The boatman was a little displeased, the boy who covered the lake gave all the boatmen money to let them rest today, except for himself.It's not a big deal if you don't give it to yourself, but that kid just doesn't allow everyone to swim in the lake.If you don't allow people to swim in the lake, you will have no guests.Originally, the absence of guests is not a big deal, just go home and rest, but I happen to rely on the ferry for a living, how can I be fooled if I don’t take the ferry for a day?

Hearing the boatman's questioning angrily, Liu Shenyan took out three gold ingots from his bosom, closed his eyes and meditated.

Accompanied by the sound of gold ingots hitting the ship's planks, Liu Shenyan asked deliberately, "Is this enough?"

"Enough! Enough!" Seeing the ingot on the ground, the boatman quickly picked it up and held it in his arms. This time, he met the gold master.

"Huxin Pavilion! Slow down, the slower the better, just in time for you to go home before sunset!" Liu Shenyan rested his head on his hands, feeling the gentle wind blowing against his ears.

this lake.

Liu Shenyan closed his eyes, wanting to run away.

This lake, I and Xu Qing have been here before.

The time with Xuqing was a joke to help Xuqing find a beautiful girl.

He Duxing also came.

The time with Duxing was to teach him to swim.

The time for Meijiao Niang was in June, when she and Xu Qing stood on a tattered boat looking at a big flower boat.The danjiao on the flower boat is very white and clean, looking from a distance, she is graceful and graceful, and it happens that she looks at the danjiao and smiles, and is ready to turn her head to tease Xuqing behind her, although she looks back, Xuqing is actually smiling.

At that time, Xuqing was still young and handsome, Xu was wearing white clothes that day, and so were the actors on the stage, so he made a pair on a whim, who would have thought that when he ran on the boat to beg, he would be ridiculed by the actor for wanting to eat a toad swan meat.Perhaps the boat that was in full bloom that day was too desolate, thanks to Zang Feng being on the flower boat that day, he brought himself and Xuqing back...

It's all teenagers' words...

Liu Shenyan thought about Xuqing being serious with him a few days ago, and couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart, if Xuqing was serious...

That was a very strange thing.

Liu Shenyan laughed at himself a bit, he had no talent, no virtue, no demeanor and no looks, if Xu Qing was interesting, he really had a bit of self-indulgence.

As for earnestness.

Liu Shenyan opened his eyes, took a handful of water from the bow of the boat, and watched the cool water slide into the lake again from mid-air, Liu Shenyan seemed to see Liu Duxing's shadow in the void.

When a person dies, maybe he just goes there quietly.

Liu Shenyan didn't know how many people still remembered Liu Duxing, because the bones hadn't returned yet, and there was no mourning hall at home, and his father didn't seem to remember having such a son.Duxing's house has been converted into a guest residence, the men and women who often accompany Duxing and the ink paintings of Duxing, for some reason, were all packaged and sent to Qi Fengtang by his father... Except for the crooked books on his bookshelf, they seem to be real. There is no trace of him being alive.

Perhaps, the only trace of a person's life is that after you die, you are still in the memory of others. In this way, you may have completed eternal life in the life of others.
