Chapter 143: The Pipa Musician Sitting at the Base of the Wall
Two days later, Ji Li pretended to go out to buy things again, and got the waist card to enter and leave the palace, Feng Yiluan still stole the clothes of the little attendant, changed into men's clothes in the Dan room, and followed Ji Li, all the way out of the palace from the side door.

This time, it was Zhong Guoxiang who personally dressed up, carrying a birdcage in his hand, pretending to be an old man who had nothing to do, and followed the two of them from a distance.
The two walked through the market and really bought some things by the way, and Feng Yiluan naturally couldn't forget to buy a few snacks for himself.
And Zhong Guoxiang seems to be old, but his steps are not slow at all, and he always keeps a distance from them.
When I walked to the east of the city, I saw that outside the courtyard wall of the inn, there were many people begging for a living sitting in a row at the base of the wall, there were several porters who worked as coolies to carry heavy goods for others, two or three beggars, several people who walked the rivers and lakes to play tricks, and a person who sold dog skin plasters, and among these people, there was also a luthier who could play the pipa.
At this time, it was nearly noon, and these people were rubbing under the base of the wall, enjoying the short and rare winter sun, the sun was just shining at the base of the wall, shining on the warm ground of these people, so they all lazily stretched their bodies.
The violinist was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, not clean or unclean, with a green and yellow face, a depressed expression, holding the pipa, and playing the strings carelessly.
When a passer-by passes by, he throws a copper to the beggar at the same time, and he will also throw a copper to the violinist, and the violinist nods his head weakly with no expression on his face, and does not thank him, not like some people who go to the rivers and lakes to sing, and when they see people open their mouths, they are a set of auspicious words.
The luthier's music was played very well, and everyone listened quietly while basking in the sun.
When he walked in front of the pianist, the pianist finished a song, paused for two breaths, changed to another song, and played it lightly.
Feng Yiluan didn't notice what he was playing at first, she was already slow or uninterested in the music, but this piece was so familiar that she couldn't help but unconsciously turn her head to look at the luthier.
The song is the only one she can play "Folding Willow Branches".
When she heard this, she guessed that this luthier was probably an old acquaintance. Looking closer, she almost burst out laughing.
Ji Li noticed that Feng Yiluan's pace slowed down, so he also looked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, and saw that this person had three points like Duanxu, and the other seven points like Duanxu who deliberately pretended to be ugly, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he already had an idea in his heart, so he stopped, turned around and walked straight to the piano master.
He was dressed today, as if he was a noble son, so a group of people under the wall turned their eyes over.
Ji left his mouth, pretending to be the tone of those gentlemen in the royal city: "The song is playing well, this son is going to drink, and there is just a lack of music next to him, what tunes will you play?"
The luthier stopped the strings and said in a hoarse voice: "Back to this young master's words, all the famous grass people can play it." As he spoke, he casually reported the names of a few songs.
Actually, Ji Li didn't know much about music, but he pretended to nod his head and said, "Well, yes, get up, come with my son." ”
The crowd at the base of the wall stirred slightly, whispered a few words, and then continued to bask in the sun. These people are squatting here to beg for a living, and it is normal for them to be called away at any time.
Ji Li turned around and walked to the big restaurant diagonally opposite the inn, Feng Yiluan followed closely behind, playing a little follower who spoke little, the pianist hurriedly grabbed the few small copper coins in front of him, held the qin, and tried to drag his steps to follow the end, looking at his walking figure, it seemed that he had not eaten a full meal for three or five days.
Ji Li came to the door of the restaurant, it was not yet time to eat, so there were not many guests, Xiao Er saw that there were distinguished guests coming, and he hurriedly greeted him, and nodded with a smile on his face, and led Ji Li and his little entourage in, but he stretched out his arm and stopped the pianist with cold eyes.
Ji Li asked why, Xiao Er said that this person was dirty and indecent, and he was afraid of affecting other diners' meals.
Ji Li said: "My son wants a separate private room, so I want to listen to a tune." ”
Xiao Er still doesn't allow it. This restaurant is a famous restaurant in Kuanxi City, the posture is naturally high, although Ji Li looks very rich, but Xiao Er does not recognize Ji Li, only when he is the son of a small rich man's family, so he is flattering on the surface, but he does not think so.
Ji Li turned around, casually performed a dust purification technique, cleaned the whole body of the pianist, and asked, "Is this feasible?"
Xiao Er saw the trick of leaving the school, only to know that this person was either official or noble, and he didn't dare to offend, so he immediately changed his face, several times more attentive than Fang Cai, smiled the folds on his face into a flower, and hurriedly said: "It's the villain's frustration, I don't know the son, the villain is offended, please don't blame the son." ”
"It doesn't matter. Ji Li coldly squeezed out two words, then walked upstairs, chose the most remote private room, and ordered the most expensive dishes casually.
Xiao Er ran diligently before and after, wiped the table and served tea, and then went down to pass the food with numb legs and feet, and the pianist heard that there was no one else nearby, so he resumed his original voice and said with a smile: "The young man is really smart, and he has a heart with me." ”
Ji Li smiled: "Seniors, don't mess with words, speaking of which, why have you changed your appearance again?"
"This is an ordinary disguise technique, or is it the same body as last time. As he spoke, Duanxu wiped his face with his hand, revealing a very handsome self-pruning appearance. Then, he wiped it back, changed his face back, and said, "It's not good to scare the shopkeeper for a while." ”
Feng Yiluan opened his mouth and asked, "Why don't you wait for us in the guest room of the inn, but sit outside and play the piano?" ”
Duanxu said embarrassedly: "This...... Because I don't have any silver taels on my body, I can't afford to live in a store, and I only have these few coppers on my body, which are still rewarded by passers-by, if you don't come, I can only go to the street to buy a few steamed cakes to satisfy my hunger. ”
Puzzled, he asked, "Didn't I give you a lot of spirit stones and pills last time?"
Duanxu smiled, but did not explain. Ji Li had to ask for two plain cakes for him to pad his stomach first.
After eating the vegetarian cake in a few bites, Duanxu cleaned his hands, moved a small stool and sat down against the wall, and began to pluck the pipa strings.
Feng Yiluan said from a very layman's point of view: "I have only seen women playing the pipa. ”
Duanxu said simply: "There is no distinction between men and women in music, and there is no male or female in the pipa. ”
Feng Yiluan asked him, "Why do you also play the willow song?"
Duanxu smiled and whispered, "Miss Luan forgot, when I was in the camp of the Dead, I heard you play once. ”
"Who are you fooling to remember?"
"Fool no one, don't dare to lie to Miss Luan and Childe again. Some people never forget the words, some people never forget the martial arts, but I can never forget the music of the world, and I can listen to it once and play it again. ”
Feng Yiluan reluctantly believed his words, and asked again: "Oh, by the way, didn't you say that you were poisoned?"
