Different from the hustle and bustle in front of the river street, the back of Hexi Garden is very quiet, along a hidden staircase, Bai Qiyu followed Song Che all the way up to the fourth floor, that is, the top floor of Hexi Garden. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The spacious atrium, with heavy curtains and partitions, can faintly see the lively lights outside.

Song Che waved his hand, and the middle-aged man bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Second master sit down for a while, and my subordinates will go and prepare." ”

Song Che stopped him and said, "Aqing, let Ruxiang come back later." ”

The man named Aqing paused, answered yes and retreated.

Bai Qiyu had already entered the house, went to the inner room through the jade bead curtain, and was very happy to look at the night scene outside by the window.

Along the river street, the willows support the wind, the lights are bright, there are delicate small painting boats floating on the river surface, there are music and hustle and bustle, the hawkers' shouting, juggling's shouting, and the restaurant's chat, laughing and drinking orders, mixed together, it seems to be more lively, and the quiet night that fell asleep before is like two worlds.

"Wow, what a great place! It turns out that the capital is so beautiful at night!"

Song Che smiled slightly, walked over and stood next to her, "It's good if you like it." ”

And here, Aqing went directly to the third floor from a door next to the stairs, and a maid greeted him and said, "Uncle Qing, but the second master is here?"

Ah Qing nodded, and instructed the man dressed up by the guy on the side, "Xiao Ding, let the kitchen prepare the eight treasures of Suzhen, and send them to the second master in a while." ”

Xiao Ding Qi said, "Suzhen Eight Treasures, isn't the second master bad for this?" Suzhen Eight Treasures is the signature pastry of Hexi Garden, but the second master himself rarely orders this.

The maid also looked at him curiously, and Ah Qing said, "There are distinguished guests." But he didn't say much.

The maid said tentatively, "Then our lady ......?"

Ah Qing said, "Let Miss Ruxiang go to see the second master later." He waved his hand again and let the group disperse.

There are eight treasures in the kitchen here, and Xiao Ding sent them up, but the maid ran over and whispered a few words, and Xiao Ding answered and went upstairs.

Xiao Ding carried a large food box outside the door, and when he heard the sound inside, he went into the door.

Through the jade bead curtain, I saw two figures by the window, one was naturally the second master, and the other was strange, looking thin, wearing ordinary plain robes, and the long hair was casually tied with ribbons and scattered behind the back, looking a little casual and free.

Xiao Ding entered the room, put the food box on several tables, and then laid out the delicate plates inside.

At this time, I heard the second master say, "This is the most famous Suzhen Eight Treasures of Hexi Garden, you can taste it." ”

Hearing this, Bai Qiyu withdrew his gaze from the various river lamps outside the window, saw the pastries on several cases, and praised again, "It turns out that this is the Eight Treasures of Suzhen, it looks really good!"

Xiao Ding, who had just put the plate on the table, was stunned when he heard this voice, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a smiling face with delicate eyebrows looking at several cases, it turned out to be a woman?

Xiao Ding looked at Bai Qiyu with wide eyes, a little stunned for a while.

Song Che glared at him dissatisfied, "Not yet." ”

Xiao Ding, who came back to his senses, hurriedly took the food box and retired, and when he went out, he couldn't help but look back, but saw that the woman dressed as a man was tasting pastries one by one, and the second master was sitting on the other side with a smile and looking at her.

What's going on?

Xiao Ding went downstairs with a cigarette.

The maid was waiting, and when she saw him coming down, she hurriedly went over, "Does the second master have any orders?" She asked Xiaoding to say that Miss Ruxiang had something to see.

Xiao Ding patted his chest, looked frightened, and said in a low voice, "I didn't dare to ask!

"Who is it?" the maid was stunned, could it be that it was really a high-ranking official?

Xiao Ding subconsciously looked up at the floor above his head, "I don't know ...... either."

The maid slapped him on the shoulder, "Tell the point!

Xiao Ding's head shrunk and said in a low voice, "The distinguished guests brought by the second master seem to be ...... It's like a girl......"

"Girl? yes, no, no, what's not like?"

"Yes, yes, it's a girl, but she's dressed as a man, and the one who looks like one is called a ...... A ......" Xiao Ding pondered for a long time but still couldn't think of a suitable adjective, so he simply waved his hand, "In short, it's beautiful!"

The maid frowned and stamped her foot, "I won't tell you, I have to call the girl back." ”

Ruxiang Niangzi listened to the maid's reply, and couldn't help frowning, "The second master never brings a woman here...... Bring my Qilu, and I'll go to see the second master. ”

Qi Lu is her usual piano, and it was also picked by Song Che for her, so she cherishes it very much and rarely uses it.

Bai Qiyu was talking to Song Che about Song Zhao, and a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Nu Yunxiang greeted the second master. ”

Song Che frowned unconsciously, and was about to open her mouth to ask her to retreat, Bai Qiyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and said happily, "Is it Ruxiang Lady?"

Seeing her expectant expression, Song Che had no choice but to say, "Come in." ”

In Bai Qiyu's curious gaze, a slender figure walked in with a faint fragrant breeze, passed through the pearl jade curtain, and stepped into the inner room.

Bai Qiyu looked at the visitor, with a slender and slender figure, two or eight fragrant flowers, a goose egg face, eyes like peach and plum looking forward to life, a fair complexion like congealed fat, a ruby gold step swaying obliquely inserted in the black bun, and a seashell purple dress made her more and more beautiful, really amazing and moving!

Rue Xiang walked to the front of a few cases, and Ying Ying bowed, "Nu Ruxiang has seen the second master," and looked up at Bai Qiyu with a slight smile curiously, "It turns out that the second master has a distinguished guest today, and I hope you don't dislike Rue Xiang to disturb you." ”

Song Che hummed lightly and ignored it, and only said to Bai Qiyu, "Do you want to listen to the piano or watch the dance?"

Rue Xiang sat quietly on her knees, but she was curious in her heart, who was this woman......?

Bai Qiyu held his cheek in his right hand and said, "Listen to the piano, the river lantern outside is very beautiful, and it is nice for me to listen to the music coming from afar in the painting boat." As he spoke, he glanced at the bustle outside the window.

Rue Xiang smiled, "I can't hear it clearly, but it's like Yonggongzi's dream song." ”

Bai Qiyu looked at Rue Xiang and said with a smile, "Then play this dream song, I don't listen to it much." ”

Rue Xiang glanced at Song Che and saw that he didn't say anything, so she called the maid outside to bring the qin in, and she sat down in front of the qin case.

The faint warm fragrance, the sound of the piano, the river lanterns lit by the stars, the dock painting boat with quiet lights, everything is like in a dream, Bai Qiyu, who is in this good realm, did not realize until this time that this is the first time he has come to this world and is so relaxed.

At this time, Aqing's voice came from outside, "Second master, there is news." Because he was afraid that Bai Qiyu was there, he didn't say it directly.

Song Che said lightly, "Say." ”

Ah Qing glanced at Bai Qiyu, and then said, "Watson just now has news that the two carriages have left Lizi Hutong......
