Chapter 1 Painting Pingtung(1/2)
On the third day of the 23rd year of Zhaohua, Ning Empire.
Jiangnan Province.
Guangling City.
...
The spring is bright and it is a great time to get to the spring. There are so many tourists on the shore of Huaping Lake.
They are all handsome men and pretty women. Most of them are dressed up as officials, wearing very good-quality long gowns, with bright hair, and holding a folding fan in their hands. They gathered together in groups of three or five, and they were all full of spirits. They shook their heads and commented on a poem and song that had been spread in Guangling City recently. They were passionate and had a touch of guidance.
But that little look betrayed them.
Their little eyes always secretly glanced at a pretty girl inadvertently.
Li Chenan grinned, "Spring is here, and it is the season for beasts to restless again."
He no longer paid attention to the literati and students, walked along the Huaping Lake, shuttled between handsome men and pretty women, and unconsciously came to the east of Huaping Lake.
There are few people here.
Purity.
There is also a pavilion called Smoky Rain.
There was no one in the pavilion, so I just took a rest.
Sitting in the misty pavilion, Li Chenan looked at Huaping Lake again, and then sighed softly:
"Come on, I really can't go back!"
"It's just the origin of this original owner..."
The original owner was also named Li Chen'an, the eldest son of Li Wenhan, the head of the Zhuxia Academy in Guangling City.
The Li family is not considered rich and noble in Guangling City, but it is also an extremely famous scholarly family.
Of course, there are more rules for scholarly families, such as the first thing the children of a family pursue is knowledge.
But the original owner had no talent for this.
He was enlightened at the age of three and nine, but he could not recite the Three Character Classic.
Later, he learned martial arts and followed the Guangling boxer Zheng Haoyang to practice martial arts for three years but still couldn't get it!
If his father fails to become a martial arts, he will give up and do business again... This is the bottom line that his father cannot be as low as possible!
I bought a shop in Erjinggou Alley in Guangling City and opened a food shop. After three years of maintenance, I went bankrupt and still owed a lot of debts!
His father Li Wenhan was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices. He used his life savings to pay him off his debts. He couldn't stand the wind blowing in his ears and drove the original owner out of the house half a month ago!
Then something bloody happened.
The wealthy businessman from Guangling came to break the engagement. It was a baby marriage. Perhaps the Shen family bet that Li Chenan could be the top scorer in high school.
The Li family in Guangling has a very famous reputation in Ningguo. Because one family has seven Jinshi and one father and son three Tanhua happen in the Li family, it is not Li Wenhan's lineage, but the eldest and second houses of the Li family.
Of course, they do not live in Guangling City now, but in Yujing City, Kyoto.
When I came to the Shen family, even if I was queuing up, it would be the third family's turn of the Li family's family's next luck, but I didn't expect that the eldest son of the three families was such an incompetent person. He was really blind and almost lost all the rice.
Of course, the Li family would not agree so easily when the Shen family broke the engagement. Therefore, this incident caused a lot of controversy in Guangling City. The news that the Li family had made a fool naturally spread. For a moment, Li Chenan, the originally unknown name, became a household name.
Li Wenhan was disgraced and called the original owner back and scolded him.
Ten days ago, the original owner died of depression, and Li Chenan came here.
No one knew that Li Chenan had died before, and of course no one knew that Li Chenan, who is alive now, has changed.
Li Chenan did not take those grudges from the past seriously, because he was an outsider after all, and the things that happened and those who had experienced did not have much to do with him.
"Okay, although this place is behind, it is a little more pure than in the previous life."
"Well, I'm a little more relaxed."
Thinking of this, his mood that had been depressed for more than ten days suddenly became clear, so the painting screen lake with a little more vivid color in his eyes.
Especially after a pleasure boat floated on the Huaping Lake.
He was interested in the three-story painting boat. A tall flagpole was inserted in front of the painting boat. A bright red flag was floating on the flagpole. Two big words were written on the flag, namely Zhongli!
This is a duplicate surname, and I vaguely remember that this surname has a very high status in Ningguo.
As for the high law, the original owner was quite dull and autistic, and he didn't have a deep impression of it.
This has nothing to do with him, and even at this time the whole world has nothing to do with him...
He felt like a guest.
For example, now, he is just walking on the pleasure boat and feels that the pleasure boat is quite beautiful under the sun.
The flying eaves, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings are very elegant and elegant.
Unfortunately, the windows with Xiangfei's bamboo curtains are all closed. If the bamboo curtains can be half-rolled, there is a pretty girl playing the pipa in the half-rolled bamboo curtains, that is the most beautiful.
Just as Li Chenan was thinking this way, footsteps came outside the pavilion.
He turned around and saw two people walking towards the pavilion.
The man in front was about sixteen or seventeen years old, not tall, about one meter six, but his face was pretty, wearing a snow-white cloud-patterned gown, a green auspicious cloud-edged brocade belt around his waist, his hair was tied up, and a small jade-inlaid silver crown.
Behind him was a pretty servant in green clothes, holding a three-layer food box in his hand.
The master and servant stopped three steps away from the pavilion.
The boy in front of him seemed to have never thought that there would be someone in this remote Yanyu Pavilion. He looked up at Li Chenan, frowned slightly and then spread out quickly.
The servant behind him was about to step forward, but he opened the folding fan and shook it. He carried his other hand behind him and walked into the mist and rain pavilion.
He sat opposite Li Chenan.
At this moment, Li Chen'an's eyes turned to the Huaping Lake again. After all, it was always impolite to stare at a stranger, let alone the stranger was too handsome-
His lips were red and his teeth were white, and his skin was white and red, as if it could be broken.
Coupled with those willow leaves-like eyebrows, the big watery eyes under the eyebrows, and the faint orchid-like fragrance that could be smelled in his nostrils... He almost thought this was a girl dressed as a man!
So just now Li Chenan took a look at this young man, and the second look fell on his chest. Well, Eight hundred miles of Pingchuan, it's a man.
A very beautiful young man.
Just a little bit sissy.
The handsome man was looking at Li Chenan at this moment.
In addition to his slightly tall and burly figure, Li Chenan dressed very ordinary, just a blue linen and two patches.
In addition... the man's side face was Li Chenan. Well, the side face was more three-dimensional, his nose was very straight, and his thick eyebrows were like a sword, which was very energetic.
There are more energetic teenagers.
The handsome man lost interest in Li Chenan, and he also looked up at Huaping Lake. The boat on the lake turned its bow and suddenly changed its course, and it actually sailed towards the dock where Huaping Tower was.
So Li Chenan saw two huge banners hanging from the bow of the ship.
It says on the right: ‘The world is narrow in my eyes’
The left is empty.
This should be a couplet, but the first couplet seems a little stingy, as if venting some dissatisfaction, but I don’t know why the couplet was not written.
Li Chenan pondered for a moment and read it with interest:
"There is dust in your eyes and the world is narrow... There is nothing wrong with your chest and the bed is wide."
This couplet he spoke casually, which actually matched his current state of mind, but surprised the handsome young man.
"This brother..."
The handsome young man spoke at this time. Li Chenan turned around and was amazed by his face again. His eyes naturally fell on the man's chest.
It seemed that Li Chenan felt the heavy gaze of the two eyes. The handsome man's face suddenly turned red. He glared at Li Chenan, and Li Chenan apologized and smiled, "Ah, sorry, young master's handsomeness is rare in the world, but it's Meng Lang."
The handsome man did not expect Li Chen'an to apologize. His eyes swept over Li Chen'an's face. Li Chen'an's eyebrows were peaceful, his eyes were clear and straight and calm, without any slight blasphemy. Instead, he was calm and composed not very consistent with his age.
He shook the folding fan in his hand to cover up his embarrassment just now, but asked curiously: "Brother, this is a great couplet, is it what Brother, just now?"
Li Chenan nodded and smiled, "I just feel it, I am making the young master laugh."
This is not a joke!
The second couplet that this person casually spoke is absolutely absolutely true!
If this person presents the couplet to the people in Zhongli's mansion, he will definitely be the first in the couplet competition.
If he can win the title in poetry, he can become the son-in-law in Zhongli's mansion!
This is something that many people dream of!
Especially for those students who came to participate in the Spring Examination of this year's subject.
"Brother, I came to take the scientific test?"
Li Chenan shook his head. He had only been in this world for ten days. Where could he have the ability to take the scientific exam?
