Wei Feisheng sang a whole set of "Pipa Records" today, singing from the afternoon to Jin Wuxi Shen, Wanlan was impatient to listen to such stories of loyalty and filial piety, but she didn't dare to continue to talk with Chen Ji, so she had to pretend to be engrossed in the drama and endure it for half an afternoon.

Chen Ji listened attentively, his fingers were still on the table and beat with the rhythm, Wei Feisheng's singing voice was famous for being clear and graceful, Chen Ji seemed to like it very much, and when he got to the highlights, he would nod with satisfaction.

Wanlan quietly handed his eyes to look at him, and when he saw his trance, he leaned on the square table and got up quietly, intending to sneak out quietly to breathe.

However, as soon as she moved, Chen Ji's eyes turned around, still with a slightly smiling face, looking gentle and polite: "What? ”

Wanlan paused, smiled awkwardly, and rubbed her fingers uncomfortably on the edge of the table: "It's good for you to watch the play, the little girl has to take care of her appearance." ”

Chen Ji nodded and put his eyes back on the stage.

Wanlan ran down the stairs with her skirt as if she had been amnestied, pushed left and right all the way and squeezed out, Beijing's winter was cold and dry, the cold wind blew on the face, which made people feel refreshed, Wanlan stood at the door for a while, walked along the root of the wall to a tree in full bloom, looked up and down first, and then pinched a flower branch with two fingers and pulled it to the end of the nose, sniffed gently.

Someone behind her asked her in a smiling tone, "How is it, is there a fragrant smell?" ”

Wanlan was taken aback, and hurriedly let go of her hand and turned to look, and the plum branch that bounced back just poked at her bun, mixing with her hair.

The person behind him reached out to help her, and then raised his hand to help her untie the knot between her hair and branches, and said, "Don't move, be careful of the hairpin ring." ”

Wanlan really didn't move, let him fiddle with his head, and asked softly, "Mr. Yuji?" ”

"It's me," Chen Ji's voice came down from the head, mixed with snowflakes falling from the plum tree: "I see that you haven't come back for so long, so come out and have a look." ”

Wanlan smiled silently, and then found that he couldn't see her expression, coughed again, and said apologetically: "It won't delay you to watch the play, right?" ”

"No," Chen Ji moved quickly, and with a few words, he rescued the branch from her hair, and pinched a handful of snowflakes and wiped it on her torn hair to keep her bun neat: "You don't like this play." ”

He used an affirmative tone, which he used to state a firm fact.

Wanlan didn't deny it, nodded and said: "I don't like this story, and I don't like this play." ”

"This is hating the house and Wu," Chen Ji took a step back, distanced himself from her, and stood under the plum tree with her and gossiped: "Don't like Cai Bojiao, right?" ”

Wanlan said: "I don't like Zhao Wuniang either, I can't do things like her, and I don't approve of her behavior." ”

Chen Ji chuckled lowly: "This is a strange news, the people I have seen have all praised Zhao Wuniang." ”

Wanlan's eyes rolled and fixed on his face: "What about you?" ”

"It's hard to answer this question at this time." Chen Ji bowed his head slightly and looked at her with a smile: "Speaking of appreciation, it seems that he is deliberately against you, but if he says that he does not appreciate, it seems that he deliberately echoed it." ”

Wanlan also laughed: "You don't have to be so careful, it's just a play, everyone has their own opinions." ”

"Since this is the case, then there is no praise and opposition just said," Chen Ji said: "This is just a choice, Cai Bojiao has been away from home for many years without saying a word, whether Wu Niang stays at home or remarries, it is all her business, even if she does not survive and remarry, it is human nature." ”

Wanlan didn't give up: "So, if you were Cai Bojiao, would you want Wu Niang to be like in the play?" ”

"No," Chen Ji's eyes bent: "I won't be Cai Bojiao, no one in this world can force me to do what I don't want to do." ”

"Oh, this is really crazy," Wanlan smiled: "In life, there are too many things that you can't help yourself. ”

"I can't help myself, it's just that the option that was given up was not tempting enough," Chen Ji's smile faded, and the expression between his eyebrows and eyes was faint: "The real reason why Zhao Wuniang chose to work hard in the Cai family for so many years, you and I can't know, but it is obvious that the option that was given up must be not worth mentioning in her heart." ”

Wanlan frowned and thought for a while, and then asked: "But if you are Cai Bojiao, the Holy Decree and the identity of Prime Minister Niu are pressed down, what can you do if you don't obey?" ”

"If you don't obey, you can still die," Chen Ji laughed again: "I can't give up my life, I make my own choice, what is there to complain about, and I will blame others for the mistakes, it's really ridiculous." ”

The first time Wanlan heard such an assertion, she was almost surprised to shout, her opinion was already absurd in this world, but she didn't want Chen Ji to be more fierce than her. But he said these words in such an indifferent tone, as if this was a normal view, like the sun rising in the east, and it was not worth discussing at all.

She turned her head to look at Chen Ji, her eyes were mixed with surprise and relief, and even some fear and worry, Chen Ji counted the complicated feelings in her eyes one by one, and turned her head calmly to continue to admire the plum blossoms, and the corners of her lips hooked a faint smile: "What, you don't believe it?" ”

Wanlan was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled back Piaoyuan's mind: "I believe that Mr. Yuji can hide from Lingzun Lingtang to enter the foreigner's trading firm, which is enough to explain." ”

Chen Ji bowed slightly, and repeated: "There is nothing in this world that can force me to do what I don't want to do." ”

He paused, and his tone remained unchanged: "For example, getting married." ”

Wanlan's heart jumped again, Chen Ji had already said so much that she couldn't tell if he was testing her or not, so much that she simply asked, "I don't know what Mr. Yuji thinks of Miss Lan?" ”

Chen Ji's eyes smiled, he lowered his head again, and met Wanlan's gaze: "I look, it's good." ”

This was another sentence with unknown meaning, Wanlan was a little discouraged, and suddenly lost the interest in continuing to chat with him, turned around and walked indoors: "Go back." ”

"If you don't like to hear it, why force it," Chen Ji said leisurely behind her: "There is a Japanese restaurant at the south entrance of Goldfish Hutong, I went to try it, it tastes good, it is very authentic, I don't know if you are interested." ”

Wanlan stopped and looked back at him suspiciously: "But I see how you like to hear it." ”

"I just like to listen to Wei Xuansheng, it has nothing to do with this play," Chen Ji took two steps towards the door of the opera garden and beckoned to her: "Since you can accompany me to the play, you must be able to accompany me to have a Japanese meal, the restaurant is not far from here, and we can walk there." ”

Wanlan stood there and hesitated, she originally planned to play Chen Ji with the mystery of her and Wanxin's identity, but now it seems that she was more like she was played by him. Don't say that she does these things with the identity of Wanxin, even if she does it with her own identity, as Chen Ji's wife who has not passed through the door, it is extremely inappropriate, she is a lady in the end.

Seeing that she hesitated, Chen Ji did not urge, but was extremely intimate and very understanding: "If you think this matter is inappropriate, then I can send you back to the house now, just meet Miss Lan, and talk to her about you and me today, lest my fiancée be too careful, and have any misunderstanding and suspicion about you and me." ”

When he heard what he said, he felt a little more threatening, and the first thing Wanlan hated the most in her life was being threatened. When she was in Zhenjiang before, Xie Daozhong and Mrs. Qin pressed on her head, and she took on the name of the eldest sister, and she was still restrained in her temperament, but now she had no scruples in the capital, and immediately smiled at Chen Jihui: "Then, please ask Mr. Yuji to send me home." ”

Chen Ji was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his feelings, recovered to his previous calm appearance, and nodded: "Okay, then let's go." ”

"The Pipa Story" story synopsis: Once upon a time, there was a cowardly named Cai Bojiao (all said to be Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty but not Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty), in his hometown Chen Liu married a daughter-in-law named Zhao Wuniang, Wen Xiang Nephrite was very happy and didn't want to go to the exam, but his dead father Cai Gong had to force him to take the exam, so he went to the exam, so he was admitted, so he was the champion, so the emperor was ready to recruit him as a son-in-law, just when the story of Chen Shimei was about to happen, thank God the emperor found that he had no daughter, but people can't be suffocated by urine, So the emperor found that although he didn't have a daughter, he had a big official named Prime Minister Niu and had a daughter, so he had nothing to do to marry Niu Girl and Cai Bojiao, and the cowardly surnamed Cai agreed after struggling. At the same time, Chen Liu suffered a disaster, and the dead Cai Gong and Cai Mu starved to death in time in order to set off Zhao Wuniang's character image, Zhao Wuniang took a skirt and buried them with soil, and also painted a lifelike painting with many talents, anyway, people know at a glance that it is the portrait of Cai Gong and Cai's mother, and put the package on his back and carried the pipa all the way to Beijing to find a husband (why did he go earlier). At this time, Cai Bojiao ate and drank well in the Niu Mansion, drank some wine, played the piano, and expressed the sorrow of missing his hometown parents when he was free, and was heard by his wife Niu Shi, who was blessed with white lotus by holy light, and also went to persuade her father Niu Cheng to go to Chen Liu to pick up Cai's parents, of course, he didn't pick it up.

At this time, there happened to be a Mida Temple ** meeting in the capital, Zhao Wuniang went to the temple to beg for food and incense by the way, and hung his own things in public without permission, well, it is the portrait of Cai Gong Cai's mother, at this time, Cai is so life, where do not meet and also came to the temple to incense, at a glance recognized the portrait of his father and mother in front of the Buddha, and did not ask who painted it directly to take home, Zhao Wuniang, who lost the portrait, went to Niu Fu under the guidance of fate, and was received by the white lotus of Niu Fu with the holy light, From this, I learned that the woman in front of me was her husband's original match, and it was disappointing that there was no scene of the original match fighting the junior here, because Niu Bailian took Zhao Wuniang to reunite with Cai Bojiao, as a model of feudal women's virtuous and virtuous women in our country, Niu Bailian took great pains to let Wu Niang come to the study and inscribe poems on the portrait of Cai Gong and Cai's mother. After such ups and downs of arrangement, Cai Bojiao lived up to expectations and successfully recognized Wu Niang, and successfully learned the tragic fact that his parents starved to death when he was eating and drinking spicy food in the capital, and immediately resigned and went home to live in seclusion (why did he go earlier), and then such a coward went home with fame and fortune and two wives in brocade. Later, the emperor who had nothing to do also issued an edict to commend the Cai family, maybe everyone doesn't understand what to commend, then I will sue everyone, because the emperor always likes to find something to do.
