Liu Sheng went to Beijing to rush for the exam, walking on a yellow road.He was wearing a blue cloth coat with dense pleats on the lower part, a faded cap on his head, and a blue silk ribbon around his waist.It's like a dark green tree walking on the yellow road.It is the season of Yangchun at this moment, looking as far as the eye can see, one is full of peach willows competing for beauty, and the other is full of mulberry and hemp.Thatched huts with bamboo fences spread out in all directions, looking at each other from a distance.The beautiful sun hangs high in the sky, and thousands of golden lights are like silk on the loom, rushing down in unison.

Liu Sheng walked on the road for half a day, during which time he only met two yamen servants passing by in high spirits, and a few warrior-like men galloped away with whips and horses, and the dust raised by the horseshoes covered the scene in front of him. There was chaos in front of me. Since then, I have never met anyone who comes and goes on the road. A few days ago, when Liu Sheng left his hometown and set foot on this yellow road for the first time, he felt countless desolations in his heart.After he walked out of the hut, the heavy sound of his mother's cloth plane kept chasing him, and his back was painful like a burn, so his father's dying eyes looked at him vividly.In order to honor his ancestors, he embarked on the yellow road.The colorful spring scenery spread out like a scroll of painting, but Liu Sheng turned a blind eye to it.What unfolded in front of his eyes seemed to be a school of fallen leaves in late autumn, and the yellow avenue under his feet seemed illusory.

Liu Sheng was not the son of a rich family, his father was just a poor Confucian who failed the ranking.Although I can write good calligraphy and draw a few romantic flowers, but I can't lift my shoulders or my hands, how can I support my family?The family of three relied on their mother's hard work day and night before the deployment of the aircraft.Liu Sheng barely survived to this day.However, the mother could not straighten up after bending down.Liu Sheng read poetry and prose since he was a child, and was guided by his father.After a long time, he inherited his father's disposition. He loves reading evil books, can also write good calligraphy, and draw a few romantic flowers, but he is unfamiliar with stereotypes.Therefore, when Liu Sheng embarked on the road to Beijing to rush for the exam, the embarrassment of his father's repeated failures during his lifetime shrouded his figure as he walked forward.

When Liu Sheng walked out of the hut, he only carried a gray bundle on his shoulders. There was no money in it, only a change of clothes, paper, inkstone and pen.He ate and slept all the way, and sold some calligraphy and paintings for some money to fill his hunger.He once met two teenagers who were also going to Beijing to rush for the exam. They were both rich men in brocade clothes and embroidered satin.Even the clothes of the bookboy made him ashamed by comparison.He has no book boy, only the figure cast on the yellow road closely follows him.The burden on his shoulders swayed slightly as he walked.He heard the lonely sound of the pen hitting the inkstone.

After walking for half a day, Liu Sheng came to a fork in the road.At this moment he was hungry and thirsty, but fortunately there was a river nearby.On both sides of the river, the grass is green and the willows are drooping.Liu Sheng walked to the side of the river, and saw that the river water was also yellowish-yellow under the sunlight, only the areas covered by the weeping willows had strips of emerald green.He squatted down and plunged his hands into the water, feeling extremely refreshed.So I took a little bit of water and carefully washed off the dust on my face.After that, I drank a few mouthfuls of river water and sat down on the ground after drinking.The fragrant grass swayed and inserted into his trousers, itching and kind.A white fish swims alone in the water, its body writhing very charmingly.Watching the fish writhing, Liu Sheng felt a little sad, whether it was because the fish was lonely or because the fish was charming.

After a while, Liu Sheng stood up and returned to the yellow road. Liu Sheng who came out of the shade of the willows felt dizzy. At this moment, he saw a pile of houses and trees in the distance, and the faint city wall.Liu Sheng walked quickly. Walking closer, I could hear people's voices boiling, and there were countless people carrying baskets at the gate of the city. Go into the city, see the first floor of five steps, and one pavilion of ten steps.The houses are dense and the characters are rich.Liu Sheng was walking in the street market, there was an endless stream of ladies and tourists, and there were countless hotels and tea kiosks on both sides.Fat mutton hangs in several hotels, and a row of plates on the counter is very neat. The plates contain hooves, bad duck, and fresh fish.There are many plates on the cabinet in the tea pavilion, full of orange cakes, slices, rice dumplings, and sesame cakes.

Liu Sheng walked over one by one, and soon came to a temple.This temple seems to have been recently repaired, resplendent and magnificent.Standing on the stone steps under the door, Liu Sheng looked in.A century-old cypress is majestic, the brick floor is spotless, the pillars and beams are smooth and shiny, but there are no monks, and the huge temple looks empty.Liu Sheng thought to himself that he would sleep here at night.Thinking about it, he took off the burden on his shoulders, untied it, took out the paper, ink and inkstone pen from it, and on the stone steps, he wrote a few quatrains in Song Ci such as "Xiaofeng Wanyue on the banks of the willows", and drew a few more without Bone flowers are placed there and sold to passers-by.For a while, the front of the temple was crowded.It seems that everyone is rich and everyone loves elegance.After only a short while, Liu Sheng had earned a few coins. Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, he put away the money and hid it carefully, then packed up his bag and walked back slowly.

The bartenders of the hotels on both sides and the buddies of the tea kiosks were full of smiles, and they didn't dislike Liu Shengbu's cold clothes, and the attractors were very enthusiastic.Liu Sheng sat down at a nearby tea booth and ordered a bowl of tea. After drinking it, he felt unbearably hungry. Just thinking about it, it happened that a villager brought many pancakes for sale.Liu Sheng bought some pancakes, ordered another bowl of tea, and ate slowly. Two men on horseback passed by the tea pavilion, one wore a royal blue satin robe embroidered with hundreds of bats and butterflies; the other wore a double-leaf royal blue satin robe embroidered with countless birds.After the two passed, three more women came.A paddy field cloak, a jade-colored embroidered eight-ball dress, and a sky-blue satin two-color gold embroidered shirt.The pearls on her head shone white, and the rings on her skirt jingled.There is a maid in front of each of them, holding a black gauze incense fan to shield them from the sun.

After Liu Sheng finished eating the pancakes, he got up, walked out of the tea pavilion, and strolled in the market.He hadn't had a serious conversation with anyone in the few days he had been away from home.At this moment, the hunger in my stomach dissipated, and loneliness came to my heart again.Look at the street market, although it is crowded with people, but they all have strange expressions.The sound of mother deploying the machine caught up again. While walking, I came to a spacious place and looked intently, only to realize that I came to the front door of a large family.The Shenzhai compound in front of you is very grand, and the two stone lions in front of the gate are showing their teeth and claws.The vermilion gate was closed tightly, very majestic.Look at the towering trees inside, the overlapping cornices, and the birds coming and going.Liu Sheng stared blankly for a long while before leaving.He walked slowly along a long path beside the whitewashed wall.This long road is also paved with high-quality blue bricks, spotless, and the branches inside the wall stretch out and sway outside the wall.Not far away, I saw the side door.

Although the side door is inferior to the main door just now, it also exudes majesty, and it is also a rich door tightly closed.Liu Sheng heard the faint sound of playfulness inside the wall, he stopped for a moment, and then started to walk again.Go to the place where the white wall disappears, and see a small door in the corner.The small door was open, and a family member hurried out.He came to the door and looked in. There was an exquisite garden.I thought this was the back garden that I had heard about but never seen before.Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then walked in.There are mountains, rivers, trees and flowers inside.Although the rocky mountain and stone screen were piled up artificially, they are extremely realistic.The pond in the middle has no water and is covered by lotus leaves. A nine-curved stone bridge is attached to the lotus leaves.A small pavilion stands beside the pond, and there are two huge maple trees on both sides, and the maple leaves hold the poles on the pavilion to watch.The pavilion can accommodate three or four people. There are two porcelain piers in front of the screen, and a hundred green bamboo poles behind the screen. The vermilion railings behind the bamboo are intermittent, and there are countless flowers behind the railings.There are peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms in full bloom, and crabapple, chrysanthemum, and orchids that have not yet bloomed.The peach and apricot are still numerous, and they can't stop arguing, but the pear blossom in the middle is watching calmly, without saying a word.

Before he knew it, Liu Sheng came to the embroidery building.The road under his feet was cut off suddenly, and Liu Sheng looked up.The window lattices of the embroidered building are open in all directions, and the wind blows from there and passes through the building.Liu Sheng smelled bursts of astonishing fragrance.At this moment, the twilight is coming slowly, and the sound of moaning slowly falls from the window of Xiulou.The sound is like the sound of a Yaoqin, dripping like beads falling on a plate, thin and long like the gurgling of water.With the fragrant wind blowing down, it slowly spread out with the twilight.Liu Sheng didn't bother to distinguish the words of the chanting, just blindly immersed in the voice as if drunk, ecstatic. The twilight was getting heavy, and a piece of gray was waving in the air, but Liu Sheng's eyes, looking up at the window of the embroidery building, did not move, and he completely ignored everything around him.In the long field of vision, there seems to be a river like a jade belt. Two kinds of scenery appear on both sides of the eyes. One is the graceful woman walking by the river, and the other is the melodious weeping willows blowing in the evening wind.Liu Sheng was dazzled by the time division and time combination of the two scenes. The ecstatic voice began to approach Liu Sheng, and after a while, a beautiful woman appeared in the window frame.The woman was content with herself, and the cherry mouth was full of smiles, and the sound of chanting came out from here.A pair of eyes with slightly rippling autumn water drifted around, pouring out thoughts into the garden.Then, when he saw Liu Sheng, he let out an exclamation of "Yeah", blushed immediately, and hurriedly turned and left.This glance happened to meet Liu Sheng.This woman is hidden deep in the embroidered building, and no one knows the benefits of the three springs. If Liu Sheng ran into her today, wouldn't Liu Sheng feel dizzy as if he had fallen into a dream.The scream just now was like a broken string, and the sound of moaning came to an abrupt end. Then everything was silent.It seems that everything around is disappearing.After a while, Liu Sheng came back to his senses.Recalling the situation just now, it is really a bit illusory, but it is very real.Looking at the window again, it was empty.But the wind was still blowing down, and the fragrance was still overwhelming. Liu Sheng felt a bit of warmth, which seemed to come from the body of the woman just now, making Liu Sheng feel that the woman was still in the embroidered building.So it seemed as if I saw the wind blowing on the woman with my own eyes, blowing away the scent and body temperature of her body, and blowing it downstairs again.Liu Sheng stretched out his right hand, gently stroking the warmth in the wind. At this time, a maid-like woman appeared at the window, and she said to Liu Sheng: "Leave quickly." Although her eyes were wide open with anger, her expression was not ferocious, and Liu Sheng felt that this anger was feigned.Naturally, Liu Sheng would not leave.Still staring at the window without squinting.On the contrary, the maid was a little embarrassed, it was really unbearable for a man to look at her like this.The maid left the window. The windows were empty again, and now the twilight was getting heavier, and the Xiulou began to look blurry.Liu Sheng vaguely heard voices from upstairs, as if a woman had entered, her voice was very loud.Below is the shrill yelling of the maid, and the last one is the young lady.Although the young lady's voice was as light as dripping water, Liu Sheng still had a bath.He couldn't help smiling slightly, and the smile fluctuated like water waves, Liu Sheng didn't notice it at all. The maid came to the window again and shouted: "Still leaving?" The maid's face this time has been tampered with by the twilight and is blurry, but the two black eyeballs are shining, revealing a lot of anger, Liu Sheng seems to have never heard of it, standing like a tree planted.How can I leave? Gradually the embroidered building became dark and gloomy. At this moment, the open window revealed a trace of candlelight. Although the candlelight came out of the window, it never fell to the ground, and only came and went a foot above Liu Sheng's head.However, the candlelight reflected the figure of the lady in the building, projected on the beams and pillars, just within Liu Sheng's eyes.Although the miss's appearance of bowing her head and meditating is incomplete, it is extremely vivid. A few drops of rain fell on Liu Sheng's face looking up. The rain came suddenly, and Liu Sheng didn't notice it at all.After a while, the rain became unrestrained, hitting Liu Sheng head-on and face-to-face.He just noticed it, but he still didn't leave. The maid appeared at the window again, and the maid looked at Liu Sheng, but closed the window without saying a word.The lady's figure was destroyed.The candlelight was also taken in, blocked by the window paper, unable to come back. The rainwater slanted down, did not distort Liu Sheng's body, but knocked off the cap he was wearing, and knocked his hair to one side.The rainwater came to Liu Sheng's body, twisting and falling.After a while, Liu Sheng gradually heard the ticking sound of his own body amidst the sound of wind and rain.However, he had no time to take care of these, and still looked up at the candlelight in the building, which danced and trembled on the window paper.Although Miss is missing, Miss seems to be more lifelike. The window opened again for some unknown reason, and now the wind and rain were fierce outside the window.The maid first showed herself at the window, and after a while, both the lady and the maid came to the window and looked at Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng was still pleasantly surprised, and the two upstairs left again, but the window was not closed anymore.Liu Sheng saw the overlapping figures on the beams and pillars in the building, and then separated instantly.Not a moment later, the two upstairs went to the window again, and then a rope slowly descended, swinging non-stop in the wind and rain.Liu Sheng didn't pay attention to these things, but just stared at Miss.So the maid was a little impatient and said: "Not yet." Liu Sheng still couldn't understand, seeing this, the young lady also opened her mouth: "Young master, please come up and take shelter from the wind and rain." Although the sound was detailed, it instantly silenced the sound of the fierce wind and rain.Only then did Liu Sheng suddenly realize that he raised his feet and walked towards the rope, but unexpectedly his limbs became extremely stiff.He stood here without moving for a long time, so it was naturally difficult to move his hands and feet.Fortunately, he recovered after a while, he climbed up the rope slowly, and when he came to the window, he saw that the young lady had retreated, and with the help of the maid, he turned over and jumped into the building. While the maid was packing up the rope and closing the window, Liu Sheng looked at the lady carefully.The young lady was standing gracefully five feet away from him. I saw her rosy skirt and moon collar, and her golden clothes and jade body.The vermilion lips did not move, Liu Sheng could already smell the fragrance of lip balm.The young lady turned sideways to him shyly.At this time, the maid came to stand next to the young lady.Liu Sheng hastily saluted the lady: "Xiaosheng's surname is Liu Mingsheng." The lady returned the courtesy: "Little girl named Hui." Liu Sheng saluted the maid again, and the maid returned the salute. After paying his respects, Liu Sheng smiled when he saw the girls and maids covering their mouths.He didn't know that he looked embarrassed, so he laughed a few times. The maid said: "Just rest here for a while, and leave quickly after the rain." Liu Sheng didn't answer, but looked at Miss.Miss also said: "Young master, please change clothes quickly and go to bed, so as not to catch a cold." After finishing speaking, the young lady and the maid both went to the outer room.Miss's red sleeves swayed, her jade wrists drooped and she left.The leaving figure reminded Liu Sheng of the wriggling charm of the fish he had seen during the day.The maid raised the curtain first and went out. The young lady hesitated a little when she walked to the door, and she couldn't help but look back when she lifted the curtain and came out.Miss looked back at this, it can be said that she had a deep affection, which made Liu Sheng feel fascinated. After a long time, Liu Sheng realized that the young lady had left, and he couldn't help feeling empty in his heart and didn't know what to do.Looking around, I saw that the embroidered building was really like a study room, stacks of books were neatly stacked on the beams, and a piece of Yaoqin was lying on the desk.Then Liu Sheng saw the embroidery bed carved from mahogany, which was mostly covered by the plum blossom curtain.For a moment Liu Sheng felt his heart tremble, and there was a stream of clear spring flowing all over his body.Liu Sheng walked to the plum blossom tent and smelled the scent of cypress. The emerald green quilt seemed to be lying on his back like a person, and the patterns were dodging in the candlelight.Although the lady is gone, her breath still exists.In the scent of cypress, Liu Sheng smelled another kind of elegant breath, which appears and disappears from time to time, seemingly real or false. Liu Sheng stood in front of the bed for a while, then put down the plum blossom curtain, which felt as smooth as a young lady's skin in his hand.The plum blossom tent descends lightly, hanging down to the ground and bending.Liu Sheng retreated to the candlelight in front of the desk, and sat on the porcelain stool again.Looking at the bed again, it has been covered by the plum blossom curtain, and the emerald green quilt is faintly visible inside.It looks like the lady is sleeping peacefully, at this moment Liu Sheng has become the lady's husband.The young lady had already slept peacefully, and he read by the lamp at night. Seeing that there was a collection of ci on the desk, Liu Sheng continued to read from the part that the young lady had just read.The words are jumping, just like the rain outside the window.Liu Sheng was immersed in the imaginary scene, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window, and fell asleep slowly in the beautiful scenery of this beautiful day. In the haze, Liu Sheng heard someone calling, and the voice floated from far to near.Liu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the young lady standing beside him.At the moment, Miss's bun is a little messy, and the makeup is still visible on her face.Even though it looks like this, it is more vivid and seductive than before.For a moment Liu Sheng thought it was a scene in a dream, but when he heard the young lady speak, he realized the reality of the scene. Miss said: "The rain has passed, son can go on the road." Sure enough, there was no sound of rain outside the window, only the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind. Seeing Liu Sheng's dazed expression, the lady said again: "That's the sound of leaves." The young lady stood in the shadows, and the candlelight was blocked by Liu Sheng.Miss looked faint and moving. Liu Sheng stared at it for a moment, then couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stood up and said: "Let's say goodbye today, it's hard to meet again." After that, he walked to the window. But the young lady didn't move at all, Liu Sheng turned around, only to see that the young lady's eyes were already glistening with tears, she looked very sad.Liu Sheng couldn't help walking forward, grabbed the young lady's hanging jade wrist, and raised it to his chest.The young lady bowed her head in silence, letting Liusheng caress her in every possible way.After a while, the lady asked: "Where did you come from? Where will you go?" Liu Sheng told the truth, and went to pinch Miss's other hand.At this moment, the young lady raised her face and looked at Liu Sheng carefully.The two held hands and looked at each other, expressing affection. At this moment the candlelight was suddenly extinguished, and Liu Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to embrace the soft, fragrant and warm young lady into his arms.The young lady let out a light "ah" and then stopped making a sound, but was trembling in Liu Sheng's arms.At this time Liu Sheng was also fascinated.It seems that everything is gone, only the two are blended together.Liu Sheng couldn't stop stroking, he could hear breathing sounds of different lengths, and he didn't know which one was his own and which one was Miss.One is a man with widow yin, and the other is a woman with shaoyang, at this moment they are hugging each other, how can we tell the difference between you and me. The sound of the watchman beating the watch came from outside the window, which made the lady wake up suddenly.She broke away from Liu Sheng's embrace, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's the fourth watch, young master, please leave quickly." Liu Sheng didn't move at all in the blackness, and it took him a while to agree, then he found the bundle with his hands, and then stood for a long time again. The lady said again: "Let's go, son." The voice was extremely bleak, and Liu Sheng heard the young lady's slight sobs, and he couldn't help but burst into tears too.He groped towards the young lady, and the two hugged each other again.Then Yagyu walked towards the window.Walking to the window, I heard the young lady say: "My lord stay here." Liu Sheng turned around and watched the young lady's vague shadow moving in the room, and then heard the scissors click again.After a while, the lady came to him and put a package into his hands.Liu Sheng felt that the object in his hands was heavy, and he didn't try to distinguish what it was, but just put it in his bag.Then Liu Sheng climbed out of the window and went down the rope. After landing on the ground, Liu Sheng looked up and saw the young lady standing in front of the window.Only one figure can be seen.Miss said: "Young Master, please remember, no matter whether you are on the list or not, please go early and return early." After all, the lady closed the window.Liu Sheng looked up for a moment, then turned and left.The back door was still open, and Liu Sheng came outside the courtyard.A few drops of residual rain hit his face, very cold.Then I heard the neighing of the horse, which was extremely loud in the silent night.Liu Sheng walked through the empty market, but did not meet any pedestrians, but saw a watchman walking with a lantern from a distance.Not long after, Yagyu had embarked on the yellow road.After a long time, the morning light was faintly revealed.Liu Sheng didn't stop, looking at the huts and trees near and far began to restore their original appearance, Liu Sheng felt that the road under his feet became solid.When the red sun rose, he was already far away from the lady's embroidered building.Only then did he open the bag and took out the package that the lady gave him.After opening it, he saw a strand of jet-black hair and two snow-white silk spindles wrapped in a handkerchief embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks.Liu Sheng couldn't help but a clear spring flowed from his heart.So I put it away and put it back in, and the young lady's parting words sounded in my ears: "Go early and come back early." Liu Sheng walked forward quickly.
