I see how charming the green hills are, and I expect the green hills to be so charming when they see me!
This is Liu Rushi, also known as Hedongjun!
Yang Fan looked at the other person's eyes and couldn't help but soften a little.
If after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, many literati and scholar-officials turned their backs and led the way, showing no bottom line, then she was a ray of light in that era.
The so-called - I dare not forget to worry about the country even if I am humble!
Chivalry, talent and integrity are all combined in Liu Rushi!
When he failed to persuade her husband to die, he threw himself into a lake in order to die for his country. After his attempt to sink himself failed, he later went on to support the anti-Qing rebels in various ways.
"No wonder you can become a great scholar in a place like this."
"A great Confucian must have basic skills, talent, and ambition. All three are indispensable."
"It's not surprising that she can become a great scholar."
Yang Fan secretly sighed.
In fact, not only her, but also Dong Xiaowan and others, the patriotic sincerity they showed in the face of the betrayal of many scholar-bureaucrats was also admirable.
Seeing Yang Fan paying so much attention to Liu Rushi, several officials behind him couldn't help but secretly exchange glances.
"Executive Officer, it's time to take your seat."
Someone whispered a reminder.
Yang Fan nodded and took a seat.
At someone's secret signal, Liu Rushi was also pushed over.
Light Luoxiang sleeves, faint fragrance floating.
She is petite and exquisite, and she is so beautiful. She walks so pretty, wearing a white dress like an orchid in an empty valley, with a trace of heroism between her eyebrows, and a smile on her lips.
"I've met Mr. Criminal."
Liu Rushi was naturally looking at Yang Fan at this time.
As the Dongchang prison officer, the other party was a notorious court eagle dog. In her opinion, he was supposed to be ferocious-looking, but she didn't expect him to be so good-looking.
Even the bad feeling that came with being forced this time was a little weaker.
Especially the way the other person looked at her did not mean to be playful, but showed a bit of tenderness and pity, which made her instinctively feel good about him.
"sit."
Yang Fan raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him.
Liu Rushi didn't hesitate and sat down next to Yang Fan openly.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.
I thought that the other party would be wary of his identity, but she didn't expect that her expression remained normal.
Liu Rushi put a small fan on her delicate chin and said softly: "The executioner is not a man-eating tiger, why should I be afraid? Besides, there are no ghosts in my body and mind, and it's not like them..."
With a finger of the small fan, he swept away all the officials present who were constantly flattering and flattering Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was slightly startled and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing softly.
"What a great Liu Rushi!"
At the banquet, a group of officials did not hear the conversation between the two people. Seeing Yang Fan and Liu Rushi talking and laughing, they felt relieved and then flattered Yang Fan.
However, seeing that Yang Fan was not very interested, he quickly stopped.
However, the filial piety that should be paid was a lot, and Liu Juncheng, who was accompanying him, temporarily accepted it.
As time went by, people at the banquet left one by one with excuses, and the number of people gradually decreased. Gradually, only Yang Fan and Qin Huai Bayan were left.
Surrounded by women, the beauty and beauty are fragrant.
"It's a beautiful time, can I appreciate your talents?"
Yang Fan smiled and extended the invitation.
"Then let me come first!"
Li Xiangjun looked around, then stepped out with the lute in his arms.
She smiled slightly and placed her slender hands on the strings. The sound of the pipa sounded like jade beads running on a disk. The sound was sometimes crisp, sometimes mellow, and the music was charming, like hearing fairy music.
"How can I do my sister's music without anyone to dance with?"
"Yes, how can you let your sister be the most beautiful?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled, pulled Dong Xiaowan and others, and walked to the venue.
Like a butterfly walking through flowers.
That soft figure, beautiful face, smart and elegant, quick and light, accompanied by the rhythm of pipa music, sometimes as graceful as a swimming dragon, sometimes as graceful as a startling giant.
Like a clear lotus dancing among the water clouds, it is swaying and graceful.
"...Is this the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai?"
Yang Fan sat on the main seat, listening to the pipa music played by Li Xiangjun, and admiring the dances of Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan and others, and his mind was in a trance.
Even though he knew that this life was different from the previous one, the scene in front of him still made people couldn't help but think about what might happen to these women.
"The clear moonlight blooms in the cool evening sky. I can see the shadow of Yu Lou Yao Palace shining in the sky over Qinhuai."
If one day, when the mountains and rivers are broken, will their fate be as miserable as in the previous life?
I'm afraid it's still the same - things are different and people are different, and everything is over.
Yang Fan sighed quietly.
And Liu Rushi was right next to Yang Fan. When he heard these words, he was startled.
She is also a poet, and she has read poetry and books. However, she is confident that she has never heard Yang Fan's words anywhere!
Was this written by this person?
A strange color flashed in her bright eyes.
Especially the scene in the poem where the moonlight shines over Qinhuai made Liu Rushi couldn't help but feel moved, as if he felt a deep sense of the impermanence of fate!
Is it possible that this sentence was written by them?
As soon as this realization came out, Liu Rushi's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, Yang Fan here did not notice anything unusual about Liu Rushi. He was still immersed in the pipa music and the dancing of the girls. It must be said that these people who can become the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai are indeed talented!
If it was just about appearance, it would never be possible to reach this point.
"That's all. After all, listening to someone else's music and enjoying someone else's dance can be regarded as planting a seed of cause and effect. If things change in the future, we'd better try our best to preserve these people!"
Of course, Yang Fan didn't just care about the beauty of these people.
Yang Fan said that he also admires and recognizes their inner qualities.
Just like Dong Xiaowan, not only is she beautiful and talented, she is even ranked among the "Six Beautiful Chefs in Ancient China" and the "Top Ten Famous Chefs in Ancient China".
There is also Ma Xianglan, whose skill in painting orchids is unparalleled and outstanding.
And Chen Yuanyuan is even called by people - her voice is the best in the world, and her color is the best in the world.
Several others are also extraordinary.
Yang Fan even felt that he might be able to develop them. With their own talents, they might be able to help him in his literary career.
"Yang Fan's identity is quite inappropriate. Why not use Yang Lin's identity to recruit them into his studies..."
He made his decision quickly.
After all, Neo-Confucianism has many restrictions on women, while Xinxue is relatively friendly. My sage master probably wouldn’t mind having more female disciples!
As a teacher, he will be able to preach and learn from others when the time comes!
"That's it!"
Yang Fan smiled.
Just at this time, the girls also finished their performances.
"Good work deserves reward!"
Yang Fan, who has always been stingy, poured out a lot of money that Liu Juncheng secretly handed over before.
The girls were a little happy after receiving the reward.
Sure enough, eunuchs are very generous.
Only Liu Rushi looked at Yang Fan's profile, still clinging to the words he just said.
