Chapter 22 Lotus Scent Boat

The river is alive, with layers of scaly waves rising in the wind, accompanied by the jumping sunshine and the young heart. Like a bright mirror, it clearly reflects the blue sky, white clouds, red fallen leaves, and tall trees; Lin Zhihui likes to paddle a boat. Most of the time, it is better to let the boat float like fallen leaves alone. He can enjoy the places he passes by, whether he encounters active fish schools or the setting sun, Lin Zhihui can calm down. Enjoy the quiet time on the lake.

Tianyi River was covered with lotus pods in the summer. One night, Jiang Yuan suddenly wanted to eat lotus pods, so he took Lin Zhihui to the Tianyi River to punt a boat to pick lotus pods. The two of them selflessly plucked half of the lotus pods on the boat. After eating the lotus pods on the boat, he lay down on the boat and fell asleep. In the morning, Lin Zhihui realized that he had not returned home at night. As expected, the Jiang family and the Lin family searched for most of the Qing Emperor but still couldn't find anyone.

Jiang's father finally said, "That's it, the two of them can't go down the mountain. They will come back naturally after having enough fun." Afterwards, the two of them always laughed because of this incident. This was a surprising and exciting thing they did inadvertently. The feeling of receiving it was novel. Thinking about it now, Lin Zhihui still yearned for that happy time, that wonderful mood of breaking the rules of the sect for the first time. The memory of it is still full of nostalgia and inexplicable heartbeat.

Lin Zhihui put down the boat pole and sat down. Yin Changyi sat on the ancient wooden stool in the middle of the boat. She gently plucked the strings with her jade hands and made two or three clear sounds. Then she said, "Brother Hui, we are on the boat." I haven't seen the owner of the piano for so long. Could it be that he forgot the piano here?" Lin Zhihui said, "It doesn't matter, let's wait here for a while." Yin Changyi then put his hands back to play.

After playing a piece, Yin Changyi asked, "Brother Xiao Hui, what do you think of my piano skills?" Lin Zhihui said, "The last time I heard you play the piano was a year ago. After a year, my piano skills are getting better and better." Okay, the sound of the piano is sad, and when paired with the picture of falling red leaves, it creates an image, but why is it played so sadly?" Yin Changyi slowly raised her head, with a slightly sad expression on her face, and said, "Brother Xiaohui, we have been here for a long time. Not seen, right?" Lin Zhihui said, "Yes." Yin Changyi continued, "I have indeed grown up. Brother Xiaohui, I don't want to grow up at all. Do you know why?"

Lin Zhihui saw that she seemed to have something to say, and said, "Changyi, what's wrong?" Yin Changyi said, "Brother Xiaohui, my father has a good relationship with Uncle Lu. I heard him talking to his mother about betrothing me to the Lu family... "Lin Zhihui seemed to understand. It turned out that Chang Yi's father, Yin Sideng, wanted to marry Chang Yi to Lu Zhan, but Lu Zhan was currently under grounding and his reputation was not very good. I don't know why Uncle Yin wanted Chang Yi to marry him. , and asked, "Why?" Yin Changyi said, "I don't know either. I only heard him and his mother discussing the matter in the house, so I went in and said that I didn't agree. My father said that parents should make the final decision on marriage matters. Xiao Hui's brother "What if my father really wants me to marry Lu Zhan? I don't want to live with someone I don't like for the rest of my life." Lin Zhihui said, "What did Auntie say?" Yin Changyi said, "My mother doesn't agree either." He said that this matter was related to my lifelong happiness, but my father insisted on letting me get married. I argued with him, and then my father ordered me not to come out again. "

Lin Zhifan looked at the water surface, which was painted with red flowers by the red leaves. The river water was so clear that you could vaguely see the fish under the water, and round bubbles were spit out from below from time to time. However, such a beautiful scenery seemed to be destroyed by this sad thing. Lin Zhifan said, "Don't worry, Changyi, you will definitely not marry Lu Zhan." Lin Zhifan said so firmly and confidently. When Yin Changyi heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had heard a dream talk, or as if the scene in a long dream had become reality, but there were not too many surprises. The sadness suddenly turned into a piece of candy in her heart, slowly melting and sweetening every part of her body. Yin Changyi raised the corners of her mouth, and did not ask anything, because Lin Zhifan was the answer.

As soon as Lin Zhihui finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from the riverbank, "Who rowed my boat so far?" It turned out to be Master Cang Xingyuan's boat. No wonder it was so impressive. Lin Zhihui replied, "Master, it's me. and Chang Yi." Lin Zhihui slowly rowed the boat next to Cang Xingyuan, and then he and Yin Changyi were about to get off the boat. Cang Xingyuan said, "It turns out it's you two brats. Tell me how you got to my boat." "Yin Changyi felt shy and said, "Master, it's Changyi's fault. When Changyi saw such a beautiful boat, she couldn't help but asked Brother Hui to accompany me to enjoy the scenery and give it to Master. "I apologize." Lin Zhihui said, "Master, it's my fault. It's none of Chang Yi's business. I didn't understand the situation beforehand and boarded the boat without your consent. I know my fault. Master will punish me." "I'll do it." Chang Yi said a little anxiously, "Master, it's my fault. If you want to punish me, punish me. It's me who has brought trouble to brother Xiaohui."

Cang Xingyuan stroked his gray beard and laughed loudly and said, "Did Master say that you are going to be punished? Since you said you are going to be punished, then punish..." Yin Changyi had a solemn expression and listened carefully to the final punishment. Lin Zhihui was very calm and didn't care about the punishment at all. Cang Xingyuan paused for a while and said, "Then I'll punish you to help Master hold the pole. How about we take a boat ride to enjoy the beautiful scenery together?" Upon hearing this, Yin Changyi not only did not punish her, but could continue to sit on the boat to enjoy the scenery. She happily called "Master" Long live". Cang Xingyuan got on the boat and sat under the canopy. Lin Zhihui held up the pole and rowed it slowly.

Cang Xingyuan said, "Chang Yi, can you play a piece for me, and also hear how your piano skills are?"

"Then Changyi will be embarrassed." Yin Changyi played the song "Sunset Xiao Shui", like

The orioles come out of the valley and the swallows return to their nests. The sound of the piano is melodious, smooth and natural. It sounds very comfortable, and it is more suitable for the mood at this time than the sad music just now.

Cang Xingyuan closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, and then said, "Chang Yi is good at playing, but he is not proficient enough and needs to practice more." Yin Changyi said, "I follow the teachings of my ancestor. Chang Yi will definitely practice hard when he goes back." Cang Xing said Yuan nodded and focused his gaze on Lin Zhihui, who was holding the pole. Lin Zhihui looked away. When he heard Cang Xingyuan calling him, he turned around and said, "Master, what's the matter?"

Cang Xingyuan looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Xiao Hui, are you still one year away from adulthood?" Lin Zhihui said, "Yes, Master." Cang Xingyuan nodded and said, "One more year." Now that you are an adult, time flies so fast. I still remember that when your father first came to the mountain, he was still six or seven years old. Suddenly, his son is almost an adult. When you become an adult, you will be like your father. A man of great achievements and achievements."

Lin Feng is Cang Xingyuan's favorite disciple. Lin Zhihui has heard it mentioned by others, but he doesn't really believe it. Cang Xingyuan has always been an average person in his heart. Besides, Uncle Jiang's achievements are not inferior to those of his father. , no matter how I see it, I feel that Cang Xingyuan treats his father and other uncles no differently. Lin Zhihui took Cang Xingyuan's words as instructions and expectations, and nodded yes.

What's more, I have been working so hard to read books when I have nothing to do, practice Dharma when I have nothing to do, and practice diligently, but I still can't compare to Jiang Yuan. This is not because he is jealous of Jiang Yuan. Lin Zhihui does not have high expectations for himself. Even if he works hard, he is still the worst. But as long as there are no regrets in his heart, there will be no regrets. What's more, Jiang Yuan didn't practice seriously and was lazy. He was the disciple that Lin Zhihui always thought was unqualified. But in any case, Jiang Yuan was his good friend, and he was worried that he would be sad if he said it. Knowing that he was so thick-skinned, how could he be sad? Lin Zhihui also felt that it was meaningless to say it. Although this idea came to his mind a few times, he never After a while, Lin Zhihui forgot about it. Lin Zhihui imagined in his mind what kind of person Jiang Yuan would become when he grew up. Maybe he would be completely different from now. Jiang Yuan looked cold, but in fact he was cold to outsiders. Sometimes he would be cold in front of his own people. Childish like a child. Lin Zhihui denied this possibility in his heart. Jiang Yuan would never grow up.

It was getting late, so Lin Zhihui and Yin Changyi sent Cang Xingyuan to Qingxin Hall and returned. His parents were already at home. Lin Zhihui wanted to send Yin Changyi back first, but Yin Changyi took the initiative and said, "Brother Xiaohui, I can go back by myself, so you don't have to send me off." Lin Zhihui was worried, and Yin Changyi said, "Brother Xiao Hui, don't you trust me? Although I am the most talented woman of the Qing Emperor, don't forget that I am still a disciple of the Hengtian Sect, and I still have the ability to protect myself." Lin Zhihui was amused. , said, "I know that you are a disciple of the Hengtian sect and the most talented woman of the Qing Dynasty, Chang Yi, so you should go slow by yourself." Yin Changyi said, "I understand, then I will say goodbye to brother Xiaoyuan and go back. ." Lin Zhihui said, "Okay."

On the way back, she remembered that Jiang Yuan seemed to have been with Chang Yi all afternoon, and she didn't know what happened to him after he came back. When Lin Zhihui walked to Qingfeng House, his mother had just finished cooking and said, "Xiao Hui, you have come back at the right time. Do you want to try this dish? Your father said it is very delicious." Mother Lin was all smiles. , it seemed that the daytime gathering went well, so Lin Zhihui felt relieved and said, "Okay, I'll try it." Lin Zhihui put the mushroom into his mouth and said, "It's really delicious." In fact, It's no different from usual, but Lin Zhihui is happy to tell such lies, because after saying this, Lin's mother will become very happy, and then said doubtfully, "I tasted very ordinary, why do you all say it's delicious?"

Lin Zhihui likes to eat with his parents most. The family of three gathers around the same table, with a harmonious atmosphere, a warm room, joyful laughter, and no restraint. Days like this are rare, so we cherish them even more. Lin's father and Lin's mother often went down the mountain for missions, so Lin Zhihui often lived at Jiangyuan's home. Looking at their family, he actually missed his parents quite a bit.

Lin Zhihui told his parents what happened this afternoon. His father said, "The master has been preparing for the lotus fragrance boat for a year, but I didn't expect that you two would be happy first." Lin Zhihui thought that it was no wonder he hadn't met before. Passed by, and then asked, "Father, does the master master like to take a boat to enjoy the scenery?" Lin Feng said, "I haven't heard him say it, but I occasionally saw him sitting alone on a leaf ark before. This boat is yours Used when the master abdicates and is ready to enjoy family happiness. "Lin Zhihui understood that the master master was making plans for the future, so he retired from the position of master, and from now on he sat down without any worries. On the boat, admiring the scenery of the four seasons and seeing through the fireworks of the world is indeed quite fascinating.
