Chen Wenduan is Chen Ming's only brother, and he has loved her since he was a child, so since Chen Ming came back, he has taken care of his brother's food, clothing and daily life, and occasionally has leisure time, he chats with Xin Ran and learns martial arts from each other.
Xin Ran has nothing else to do, but he is also at ease.
On this day, it was getting late, Chen Ming went to his brother to take care of his brother and take medicine, Xin Ran was reading in the house alone, and the housekeeper in the house suddenly came to his house.
After Xin Ran let him in, he asked the housekeeper what was the matter.
The housekeeper replied, "Master Xin, someone has sent a letter outside the door for me to deliver to you." ”
"Bring it to me and see", Xin Ran heard that someone sent a letter to him, so he said.
The housekeeper handed the letter to Xin Ran, Xin Ran took it, opened it and took a look, only to see four words written on it:
Brother Xin is like a reference, the covenant of the deceased.
Quyuan wind lotus, waiting for the king.
Xin Ran read that the meaning of this letter should be that someone asked him to go to a place called "Quyuan Fenghe", because he didn't know about this place, so he asked the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, what is this "Quyuan Fenghe"?
"This is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, where there is a restaurant also called "Quyuan Fenghe", which is a place where celebrities in Lin'an often gather, and it is very famous", the housekeeper said to Xin Ran.
Then the housekeeper said to Xin Ran: "The person who delivered the letter hasn't left yet, and is waiting for you to reply at the door." ”
Xin Ran asked the housekeeper to take him to the door of the mansion, and the housekeeper pointed to a person at the door and said, "Xin Gongzi, this is the letter sent by this person." ”
"Little brother, I don't know who asked you to send the letter?"
The man replied, "My master, you will know when you go, and now I beg your pardon for not being able to tell the villain, I have already delivered the letter, and I wonder how you will reply to my master?"
Xin Ran pondered for a while, and thought: Seeing that this person doesn't seem to have any malice, it's okay anyway, just go and take a look, it's okay, so he said to this person: "I already understand what your master means, and I will make an appointment." ”
"Since Gongzi Xin agreed, then please get in the carriage and the villain will lead the way for you," the man said.
Xin Ran said to the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion: "Brother Housekeeper, please tell Lord Chen and Miss Chen in the mansion, just say that I have something to go out, let them rest assured, I will come back when the matter is over." ”
After the housekeeper agreed, Xin Ran got into the messenger's carriage and went straight to the "Quyuan Wind Lotus" on the edge of the West Lake.
Xin Ran had been wondering who this person was all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the place where he had been invited.
The person who delivered the letter asked Xin Ran to get out of the car, and then took Xin Ran to the private room on the second floor of "Quyuan Fenghe", only to see that the interior was very elegantly arranged, divided into two rooms, the outer room is a place to eat, and there is a curtain in the interval, I don't know what it is for.
The messenger invited Xin Ran to sit down in the outer room of the private room, served a cup of tea, and said to Xin Ran: "Please wait here, my master will come out later, and the villain will retire." ”
After finishing speaking, he gave a salute to Xin Ran, closed the door of the private room, and went out.
Xin Ran saw that after the messenger left, he pushed open the window, only to see that the West Lake was in front of the window, sparkling, and the bright moon was in the sky, which was really pleasing to the eye.
Xin Ran was watching the scenery when he suddenly heard the sound of the piano coming from the back room.
Listen carefully, only listen to the melodious sound of the piano, like a girl shy, and have the joy of reunion of friends, Xin Ran is also trained by his father since childhood, is a master of the piano, and can naturally understand the artistic conception.
In this situation, Xin Ran was also a little intoxicated.
Suddenly, in the sound of the piano, another woman was singing:
The color sleeves diligently held the jade bell, but it was ****** back then.
Dance low willow building heart moon, singing peach blossom fan bottom wind.
After parting, memories meet, and several soul dreams are with you.
There is a silver light left tonight, and I am afraid that the meeting is in a dream.
Xin Ran listened intently to the words sung by this woman, and thought about it carefully, this poem is the work of Yan Jidao, a famous lyricist of my Great Song Dynasty, "Partridge Sky and Colorful Sleeves Hold the Jade Bell Diligently". The meaning is to say: In the past, when I met you for the first time, you held a cup in your hand, diligently persuaded wine, and frequently held a jade cup, which was so gentle, beautiful and affectionate, I drank happily, and I was drunk and my face was red. The dancing began in the evening when the willows were on the moon, and until the late night when the moon fell on the top of the building, and the trees outside the building, dancing and singing to their heart's content, exhausted and tired to shake the peach blossom fan again. Since parting, I have always missed that beautiful meeting, how many times I have embraced you in my dreams. Tonight, I raised the silver lamp to look at you carefully, and I was afraid that this encounter would be in a dream again.
At this time, I only heard that the words had been sung, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
I saw that the curtain inside was lifted, and a woman came out of it, Xin Ran took a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that this person was Shi Yaxing, the daughter of Shi Miyuan.
I saw Shi Yaxing walk in front of Xin Ran, said a thousand blessings, smiled and said, "Brother Xin, I didn't expect it to be me."
"This, I really didn't expect it to be Miss Shi", Xin Ran replied.
Shi Yaxing continued: "Yes, the joys and sorrows and fate of the world, maybe there is God in the dark, which is not something that ordinary people of my generation can predict." “
After finishing speaking, he slapped three times and asked the restaurant guys waiting outside to bring the wine and food.
After Xin Ran waited for the wine and food to be served, he said, "I don't know what happened to Miss Shi here?"
"Do you have to have something to find you, today I heard that you are back in Lin'an, so I want to invite you to drink," Shi Yaxing said.
When Xin Ran heard her say this, she raised her glass and said, "Last time, Miss Meng rescued her, and I can't thank you for it, so today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and pay tribute to Miss Meng." After saying that, he drank it all.
Shi Yaxing also drank this cup and said, "Childe is polite, since we met that day, I have admired Childe's personality very much.
Xin Ran looked up, and saw that Shi Yaxing's eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, in fact, in his heart, he had already compared this woman with Chen Ming, if Chen Ming had a bold personality, like a peony, charming, and people felt warm all the time, but this woman was indeed like a hollow valley orchid, with an elegant temperament for life.
So Xin Ran faced this scene, there is indeed a feeling of excitement, both of them have literary attainments, each other has the same mind, wine in hand, the tenderness of beautiful women, seems to infect this room, the two talk about words and songs, unconsciously, they have been drinking until late at night.
Both of them were a little drunk, and in a hazy state, the two said goodbye to each other, Xin Ran got into the carriage, and returned to Chen's mansion.
