Chapter 14: The Pear Blossoms Fall to the End of the Moon and the West (1)
A gray-brown nightingale flew to the pear blossom tree outside the pavilion and cried, singing as high-pitched and distant as a whistle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis year's pear blossoms bloomed very early, and a few of them floated to the pavilion with the help of the wind, scattered on the chessboard, and covered a few chess pieces.
Shangguan Xueyu's lips puffed slightly, a fragrant wind blew out of her mouth, pear petals seemed to roll white waves, gushing out of the chessboard, the situation on the chessboard gradually became clearer, and after a few more steps, Chu Yunxi was surprised to find that the other party's sunspot had already come to the city silently.
Chu Yunxi did not panic, although the situation in front of her was not favorable to her, she still calmly picked up a white zi, closed her eyes slightly, and thought calmly for a while: Shangguan Xueyu's chess skills are powerful because of her step-by-step strategy, and her every move has been accurately calculated, and she can adapt to the changes of Bai Zi. Her traps are particularly cleverly set, she never kills people at once, she always plans before she moves, and all her layouts are designed to liquidate the enemy once and for all.
After figuring out the joints, Bai Zi fell to the ground, and the situation began to reverse.
The last black word fell, and although Chu Yunxi had tried his best to save it, there was nothing he could do. Just as the maid came to count the chess, Chu Yunxi's sleeves swept away, and an inconspicuous white son in the corner was moved and changed his position, this change suddenly disrupted the deadlock, and only this change of steps actually caused Shangguan Xueyu to lose several sunspots, so she was lucky to turn defeat into victory.
Shangguan Xueyu smiled generously: "Mr. Chu won." ”
Chu Yunxi felt that this half game of chess was a bit of a victory, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and humbly said: "No, no, no, this is not Chu's ability, it's just a coincidence." It's still a high-tech young lady. ”
"No, no, no." Shangguan Xueyu shook the fan lightly and smiled mysteriously: "Just like human fate, there is a certain genius in playing chess. It's destined to be yours, and you can't hide from it. ”
Chu Yunxi always felt that she had something in her words, as if she was talking about chess, not just chess, so she said: "It's just a game of chess, why should Miss be so serious." ”
"You're afraid of offending me by saying that. The gentleman must think that women have long hair and short knowledge, and have small hearts. I'm not like this, if I lose, I lose, and I'm willing to gamble and lose, and I still have this little girl. Shangguan Xueyu grabbed a handful of sunspots and put them in the box, although her tone of voice was delicate, but like a chess piece, like a box, sonorous and powerful, confident and undoubted. There are about some talented people who are a little arrogant, and they are not like this. She is also a proud woman who cannot be despised by others. Chu Yunxi said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi couldn't help but pay three points of respect to her: "Miss is serious, women in history have both heroines like good women, and good wives and mothers like Mother Meng. They can all serve as role models for future generations of women, and many men are inferior. How can you look down on women? ”
Shangguan Xueyu smiled and praised: "Mr. really has exquisite insights, different from ordinary ordinary people, chatting with Mr. is like hearing fairy music, and he has been around the beam for three days without stopping." ”
The two drank a cup of each other, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
The two chatted, and Shangguan Xueyu sighed for no reason, with a look of regret on her face: "Alas, Mr. is so superb in painting, he will definitely be able to paint Qiyao Garden beautifully." If she had been able to work in the Hanlin Academy earlier, maybe the little girl would have been able to see the beautiful scenery of the burned down garden written by Mr. ”
mentioned the "resident garden" Chu Yunxi's heart moved, and followed her words: "It is rumored that the resident garden is the first garden in Chang'an, and even the forbidden garden in the palace is inferior to it. Chu unfortunately has never seen it, but there is no shortage of recitations in the Hanlin Academy. I don't know if Miss can describe one or two things, so that Chu can gain more knowledge. ”
Shangguan Xueyu smiled shyly: "Don't hide it, sir, I haven't seen it either." ”
From this, it can be seen that she entered the mansion after she and her mother escaped from the Chu family, but it is impossible to determine whether it was before or after her mother was forced to die, how much does she know about her mother's forced death? Chu Yunxi took advantage of the tea to secretly think about it.
Chu Yunxi put down the teacup and pretended to sigh: "I didn't expect that a huge garden would be destroyed in a fire. Then he asked suspiciously, "I don't know how this fire started, I think it was because the people were lazy and ran away at night, but it wouldn't have burned the whole garden." ”
Shangguan Xueyu handed her a plate of refreshments in front of her and said, "Sir, please use it." When Xue Yu entered the mansion, the Chu Mansion had moved to a new location, and the people who were originally serving in the mansion were burned to death, and those who were dismissed were dismissed, and there were only a few old people in the mansion. It just so happened that on that day, my father took his relatives into the palace for a banquet and was lucky to escape. As for whether someone set the fire or not, I don't know, I've only been in Chu Mansion for a little more than a year, where do I know so much. ”
Chu Yunxi was keenly aware of the word "one year". If what she said was true, she probably didn't know much about her mother.
Shangguan Xueyu said again: "But the little girl privately thinks that everything that has existed in the world, even if it is ruthlessly burned by fire, can always leave some traces. For example, the Afang Palace, which was burned down by Xiang Yu, has been turned into ashes in history, but it still remains in people's memory, immortal for thousands of years, and there are many articles singing about its grandeur and magnificence like stars. How can a fire burn it out? Moreover, the emperor also ordered to retain the original site of the residence garden and the Chu Mansion to commemorate. It can be seen how much the emperor loves and reluctantly treats it. ”
Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, some words in her words had another deep meaning to her.
Through the green curtain, someone stroked his palm and smiled: "Ha, I know you're here as soon as I guess." ”
Chu Yunxi was so frightened that she was about to stand up, Shangguan Xueyu waved her hand to signal her not to move, picked up a cup of boiling water and said with a smile towards the sound: "Yo, it's Shen Gongzi, I didn't sleep until three poles in the sun today, and I came to the palace so early, it's really rare." ”
The distance between the two is very far, and there is a green shade to block each other, Shangguan Xueyu is a weak woman, she has not practiced martial arts, her wrist is weak, and the water does not splash far, but Shen Jun wet the tips of her shoes when she came out.
"You dare to ridicule me so much in front of outsiders, it's about too much good face for you on weekdays. I'm not here to worship the god of flowers at night, and I'll have to check all over the sect department later, so I can feel at ease. Shen Jun is wearing a cleaner element than usual today, wearing a camel-colored gown, and his eyebrows and eyes are extremely delicate.
She had heard Lord Wang of the Hanlin Academy say earlier that this Shen Gongzi slept all day long, fought cocks and lackeys, and wandered around, although he could not study, he was not without strengths. He plays and sings everything, and he is beautiful and sweet, and he often reverses a wind and moon horn, and even occasionally plays a harlequin, and the emperor laughs, making the saint call him "little monkey". He was suspended in the Ministry of Rites earlier, and he didn't have anything serious to do, but later the emperor simply handed over the Department of Teaching and Workshop to him, and he was able to do his best.
Shen Jun didn't see anything sitting opposite Chu Yunxi, crossed his legs, the corners of his mouth were crooked, showing an evil smile, staring at her and asking, "Is there a guest, who is this?" ”
"This is the Chu painter of the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and this is Shen Jun, the eldest son of Lord Shen Zhongshen." Shangguan Xueyu introduced.
Feeling the other party's playful gaze, Chu Yunxi slightly tightened the hat strap tied to his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Oh, look up for a long time." ”
Shen Jun didn't return the salute, his arms were on the stone table, leaned forward, leaned forward, leaned towards Chu Yunxi, rubbed his chin with a smile and asked, "I've heard of you, you are the painter who covers his face with a gauze hat all day long and refuses to show people on his face?" Isn't that weird? ”
His eyes gleamed with the cunning of a fox, and a mischievous smirk hung over his lips. He deliberately tried to distract her, but his right hand was always ready to take advantage of his unpreparedness to remove her veil hat!
Chu Yunxi was shocked by his words, he had been carefully hiding, could it be that he had discovered a flaw?
Shangguan Xueyu's voice, which was sandwiched between the two, sounded at the right time to surround her: "Mr. Chu is forced to wear a gauze hat, how can everyone be born as good as Shen Gongzi." ”
Shen Jun's prank was ruined by Shangguan Xueyu, and he was unwilling. He sat up straight and began to look for her trouble: "Don't talk about it, I haven't tried you yet?" What are you two sneaking around here? Aren't you afraid that I'll sue the princess?"
Shangguan Xueyu's eyelids didn't move, she took a bite of Bazhen cake, and said nonchalantly while chewing carefully: "I'm not afraid if you sue me, it's just that I want to think clearly that Mr. will draw a camellia, and the princess will not punish me for this little thing." ”
"Alas, those who see it have a share, since Mr. Chu has promised you, why don't you draw one for me too." Shen Jun answered half-truthfully.
Shangguan Xueyu glanced at him with a smile, and teased: "No, Mr. Chu, don't promise him, if you really want to paint, you should set up a table alone, and invite a few people to accompany you." You're rubbing my tea here to make a favor, what's the matter? ”
The two of them thought they were used to joking, and they were unforgiving when they talked about each other. But Chu Yunxi was afraid of offending people, so he said in a stitch: "Miss said she was laughing." ”
Shangguan Xueyu sneered and said: "Mr. Chu is also good, you don't need to save money for him, anyway, Shen Gongzi has money, right." ”
Shen Jun stared at Shangguan Xueyu with burning eyes, and his voice seemed to be crushed by teeth: "You have bad intentions to harm me, you said this to let people with ulterior motives listen to it, I can't eat and walk around." ”
Except for a few maids who were waiting, she was the only outsider. He clearly said this to her, implying that she had ulterior motives. But this is interesting when you think about it, Chu Yunxi secretly laughed.
A large mass of pink pear blossoms was like a drizzle of rain sprinkled on everyone's bodies, and when Chu Yunxi brushed the flowers, the cuffs turned out, accidentally revealing half of his forearm. Shen Jun shouted as if he had discovered a shocking secret: "How can Mr. Chu's hands be as thin and white as a woman's hands. As he spoke, his hand rushed towards her arm.
Chu Yunxi hurriedly lowered his head and put his hand into his sleeve, and when he looked up, he only saw his ill-intentioned hand stopped in front of his eyes, and a wide sleeve embroidered with wisteria patterns hung next to him, it turned out that Shangguan Xueyu grabbed Shen Jun's arm in mid-air.
Shangguan Xueyu dragged his arm and pressed it down, and said with a look at Chu Yunxi: "Isn't there something else going on in Mr. Chu's Hanlin Academy?" The little girl won't keep you, we'll talk another day. Fu turned his head to Shen Jun and ordered the guest, "You too, aren't you going to the Teaching Department to check, go quickly, don't delay the business." ”
Chu Yunxi understood, even though he knew that she couldn't see it, he still smiled at her gratefully, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, yes, then the next official will leave." When will the painting be delivered to Miss? ”
Shangguan Xueyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. draw slowly." ”
Shen Jun quickly pulled out his arm from under her hand as the two spoke, and scratched her palm with his fingernails with his backhand when he passed through her palm.
Shangguan Xueyu was talking to Chu Yunxi, but suddenly turned her head and shook him hatefully.
Shen Jun ignored her, raised his eyebrows triumphantly, raised his head at Chu Yunxi with a teacup, and said, "And mine, if the painting is really good, I will treat you with really good wine and good food in the future." ”
Chu Yunxi couldn't stand his arrogant face, and he was not happy in his heart, but he still said yes.
After Chu Yunxi left, Shangguan Xueyu always tilted her head sideways and ignored it. Shen Jun snapped his fingers in front of her, tilted his head, and laughed, "Yo, I'm angry." Ever since I saw you, you've been staring at him, don't you have a crush on him, don't blame me for not reminding you, his face can be burned by fire, and it's not as good as your beloved Jiaheng Gongzi. ”
Shangguan Xue smiled and fell on Shen Jun's body, one arm on his shoulder, bright red nails cutting across his cheeks, leaving a long red mark. She fiddled with a strand of hair hanging down from his sideburns, her eyes were like knives, and she smiled coquettishly: "Shen Jun, I warn you, don't forget that you are the emperor's person, don't lose your proportion." And ......"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and lay on his shoulders, her red lips against his ears, and her soft voice slowly poured into his internal organs with a sweet aroma: "It is undeniable that he is indeed a charming man! ”
She jerked away from his embrace, covered half of her face with a fan, and pretended to be shy, and smiled slightly.
Shen Jun felt that his whole body was about to be crispy, he stared at her eyes with a smile, reached out and touched the red marks on his face, and his fingertips were stained with the crimson scent of impatiens. He moved his fingers under his nose and sniffed, taking it in his mouth and sucking it. (To be continued.) )
