    [1] "Bu Suanzi. Re-composition during the banquet" Ge Cufang. Ci

    Curly water Zhihong, throbbing Jiapu.

    The westerly wind is light and smokey, and the rain is sparse at a few points.

    Hastily spread the cup, and Yingying girl is about it.

    Yeye Hongyi is used as a wine boat, and the clouds are flowing slowly.

    Ji Xu sang a little song and approached Qingwan.  Qing Wan turned a blind eye, listened but didn't hear, she really took Ji Xu as the wind in her ears, and came "The Wind Blows".

    Seeing Qingwan treat him like this, Ji Xu was also very embarrassed, so he said dissatisfiedly: "Love ends, it is hard to get over, love and hate are just a moment" He poured the water in the cup on the sand, and saw  The glass of water disappeared without a trace in an instant.

    Consciously or unintentionally, Ji Xu knocked the sand splashed on his shoes on a stone, and at the same time turned his eyes sideways to look at Qingwan.  Qing Wan just rubbed her clothes, her waist and limbs moved, which was really pretty.

    Can't keep staring, Ji Xu drove over again, looked at the willow trees outside the pond, to see if the lotus field was covered by the overhanging willow branches.  Because next, he will use that lonely lotus field as an image to explain the truth to Qing Wan with reason.

    So, Ji Xu said to the water in the lotus pond: "This weeping willow is so beautiful!"

    Qing Wan remained silent.

    Ji Xu laughed dryly twice, and said to the lotus pond: "The lotus field is green, but the lotus buds, why are they always puffing out their mouths and not blooming [speaking, speaking]?"

    Qing Wan said without raising her head: "If you want to see lotus, go to the West Lake [Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace], it's not far from here, just two steps away, there are many, big and beautiful lotus"

    "Really, my sister has time tomorrow, and I will take my younger brother to have a look at it."

    "You are a child, you still need my sister to take you there!"

    "My sister is bored at home all day, wouldn't it be nice to go out and relax?"

    "I'm always bored at home, why don't I wash my clothes in this lotus pond today!"

    "What I mean is, don't be bored with your three acres of land. Go out and go to West Lake and Yuyuantan to see the lotus. It's so interesting."

    "I don't like looking at lotus flowers!"

    "Did you lie?!" Ji Xu teased her, "You don't blush no matter how you lie."

    "What did I lie about?"

    "Brother Xiuran said that my sister loves lotus the most!"

    "You listen to him, you have already gone to the Hushu [referring to sorghum] land."

    "What kind of place are you going to? Brother Xiuran told me that when you were young, you two loved going to Yuyuantan to see lotus flowers. Brother Xiuran loved lotus since childhood, and sister especially than him Two people who love lotus so much, if they go to West Lake to enjoy it together  Wouldn't it be a pleasure to see the beauty of 'lotus red with rain'!"

    Qing Wan rubbed and washed two handfuls of clothes, and said: "Sister, I am a peasant woman in the village now, how can I appreciate the 'Lotus and Red Rain'."

    Ji Xu explained the meaning of "lotus red with rain" without words: "The lotus in the West Lake is exactly the curling water Zhihong, and the pulse of Jiapu. The westerly wind is light and the smoke is light, and the rain is scattered at a few points."  He took out his folding fan and slapped it twice, "Legend, Yu and He are a pair of lovers who love each other. One day, He passed away, leaving Yu behind. Yu was so sad that she washed her face with tears every day until she cried  The body gradually turned into a cloud of smoke Finally, the lotus turned into a lotus, and the rain left only teardrops. Therefore, the lotus is the most beautiful every time it rains. In the light rain, with a trace of wind, the water leaves one by one  The pearls dance on the lotus leaves, the pink lotus petals are especially fresh and fragrant, swaying in the rain, and the fragrance of the lotus blows to the face after the breeze"

    Seeing that Qingwan seemed to be moved by her own words, she continued to express: "There is a way, you can visit the grassland in spring, and enjoy the green lotus pond in summer. In summer, the lotus is in full bloom, and it is very interesting for those who are in love to enjoy the lotus together. You two  Row a small boat, place a jug of fine wine, and savor the lotus like a young girl. The lotus petals are like the red dress of a girl. Use these petals to hold the wine, and taste the taste of the fine wine carefully.  Taste it carefully, it must be the taste of love"

    "What about the 'Yingying girl'? My sister, I am married to another woman, and my son is a scholar. Do you know the 'Woman's Way'[1]?"

    Ji Xu was taken aback for a moment, "My sister is a lady of the family, don't you know the 'women's way' much better than me?"

    Qing Wan put the clothes in the water, stood up, picked up the washed clothes, and said: "Since I was young, my mother taught me to obey the three obediences and four virtues, follow one to the end, three cardinal guides and five constant rules, men and women are different  You have read the books of sages, how could you instigate me to go on a date with others? You also described the scene of the private meeting soso obsceneunbearable" Qingwan said while trying to wring the water off her clothes, but her arms were thin,  It's a little hard to twist.

    Ji Xu took the clothes in her hand and wrung them clean.As time goes by, the little princess, Kublai Khan and Marco become more and more in love with each other, and they are inseparable.

    The little princess Kuo Kuo is so lucky!

    Under the influence of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo and the court poet Tiezhen, she became a learned and talented girl.  Her strong interest in exotic customs, her extensive knowledge of all things in nature, her compassion and tenderness for her own sick animals, and her extraordinary beauty, all these make her noble, elegant and charming, and she is famous all over China.  It's hard to match it.

    One day at the beginning of 1292, an envoy from Persia met Kublai Khan.

    He knelt down on his knees and presented the letter he had brought, "Your Majesty, the son of your wise brother, Aruhun the Great Khan of Persia, brings sad news: Bolgana, has passed away. She left  Make a last wish¡ªto let a Mongolian girl from her clan succeed her in the palace of Aruhun. Aruhun Khan swore to God that her last wish must be fulfilled. He begged His Majesty to help him choose such a  A girl, and escorted to far Persia"

    He wanted to continue, but the elderly Kublai stood up in surprise.  God has answered his prayer, Kuo Kuo should really go to Persia to be the queen of Aruhun Khan, although Aruhun is much older than her, but he will love her and take good care of her.  Marco and his father and uncle could escort her safely to the palace of Aruhun Khan, and then continue their journey until they reached Venice safely.

    The aged Kublai Khan made up his mind.

    Marco was so familiar with traveling that he decided to take the sea route.  In late August 1292, they bid farewell to the heartbroken and increasingly aging Kublai Khan with tears in their eyes, and set sail from Quanzhou Port.

    The two-year voyage began in this way, with turbulent waves and hardships along the way.  But Marco led the fleet, and he was determined to escort the noble princess to the destination safely even if he was going through hell - Persia!

    They really are going through hell.

    On a calm day, the fleet was galloping on the calm China Sea.  Suddenly, ominous dark green dark clouds filled the sky, and the typhoon came!  The strong wind whipped up waves, and row after row rushed to the deck.  Under the attack of the storm, Kuo Kuo was really swept into the sea.  With a heart-piercing scream, Marco jumped into the stormy waves, and he miraculously grabbed her.  Both were saved.

    For several days after the storm, Marco was still worried, and would visit her cabin door almost every hour, and left with peace of mind when he saw that his noble Princess Kuo Kuo Zhen was safe and sound.  Whenever he was free, he always spent hours with her.

    A few months later, they entered the Indian Ocean.  A group of brutal pirates attacked the fleet.  The pirates climbed onto the deck and killed anyone they saw.  They knocked open the hatch and rushed in.  Princess Kuo Kuo Zhen shouted to Marco, pulled out a short dagger, and glared fearlessly at the approaching pirates.  In the confusion, a pirate rushed to her side, grabbed her by the arm, and turned her around, holding the wet machete above her head.  At this moment, a sharp sword pierced the pirate's back like lightning, and he fell down, Kuo Kuo was really knocked unconscious.

    When she woke up, the fierce battle was over, the pirates were driven off the ship, leaving only traces of fighting on the deck, and Marco was anxiously bowing down to guard her side.  Although the danger has passed, the little princess Kuo Kuo was really frightened and fell ill, and the terrible high fever threatened her life.  But several clever and capable maidservants were killed by pirates, so Marco had to leave the task of commanding the fleet to his father and uncle, and take care of the lovely little princess himself.  He dispensed medicine for her and guarded her side day and night.

    The danger finally passed, and the little princess gradually recovered her health.  She began to look at Marco with eyes she had never had before.  One night, it was stuffy and hot in the cabin, Marco gently took the princess by the arm and walked to the deck to sit down, the fresh cool wind blowing the broad real hair.

    "Marco, do you like me?" she asked softly.

    "Yes, darling, I like you very much. Why are you talking about that now, eh?"

    "Because I am no longer a child, I love you, Marco Polo!"

    There was a silence, only the breeze was blowing gently.

    After a while, Marco said: "God is very kind to us, the flower of my life!"

    "Yes, dear Marco Polo, God is merciful."

    There was another silence.

    At this moment, any words are superfluous.  Two nest-hunting birds finally found their home.  But in a few short weeks they would say goodbye forever.  Their separation was as inevitable as their love, for loyalty to Kublai Khan was an integral part of their love.

    ? On a night in the late autumn of October, the moonlight was like water, and the fleet arrived at the Port of Hormuz in Persia. Marco Polo and Kuo Kuo Zhen, the little princesses of China, cherished each other and bid farewell!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)??Arrived at the Port of Hormuz in Persia, Marco Polo and Kuo Kuo Zhen, the little princesses of China, cherished each other and bid farewell!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
