Chapter 204: The Night of the Lantern Festival
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gongyi Xiu entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Cang. If you love to play and watch, you can come to the net. The old lady probably really felt that the two "Yaoyao" shouted awkwardly, so she wittily changed the name of the genuine Yaoyao to "Chengcheng";
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family hugged Xiao Jing'er and went to sweep the tomb of Gongyi. Chengyao and Silent Stream also knew that Gongyi died to protect Gongyi Xiu and Qinghuan, and cleaned up his complexion to incense;
Since the third day of the new year, Gongyi Xiu and Gongyi have been busy again, coming and going at home, all of them have come and gone to pay New Year's greetings, Qinghuan and others have avoided in the inner courtyard;
Until the eighth day of the first lunar month, another person came to Gongyi's house, and Gongyi Xiufang specially called them all out - it was a stain of dust.
Yichen smiled and greeted the old lady for the New Year, and brought a basket of gifts - all kinds of fairy flowers and fairy fruits produced in Surabaya Xunfang. The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and also sent him a red envelope, so she didn't care about the "young man" standing in front of her, if she really had to count her age, she was afraid that she was not under her old man.
A stained dust stayed for two days and left, and the time turned to the fifteenth day of the first month.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, in the ten-mile lantern corridor in the Starlight City, Gongyi Xiu took four teenagers to visit the street. The city is brightly lit, the tourists are weaving, the street vendors and merchants are door-to-door, laughing and shouting constantly, and the air is floating with the prosperity and joy of the full moon and full of people.
With the flow of people, the five people unconsciously walked to the south of the city, which is the most crowded and lively. Qing Huan and the second brother walked side by side in front, and accidentally were scattered by the crowd with the three teenagers. Qing Huan was not anxious, since he and his second brother enjoyed playing along the way, the sea of colorful lights was difficult to see at a glance.
In the night sky, a large piece of fire trees and silver flowers suddenly rose, like the hand of a celestial maiden, and quickly crocheted a gorgeous brocade on the night brocade, and the silk wisps were intertwined. When the stars gradually dissipate, the 10,000-petal flying flowers melt into the cool night, and the pedestrians rush in the same direction. Qing Huan was curious, and took the second brother's hand to follow to see the excitement. Originally the daughter of a big family in the city, Mingli chose the master of the piano, but in fact, he recruited relatives than the qin, and was willing to make this good day and night, and become an elegant and beautiful thing.
Gongyi Xiu had been invited before, but he had declined politely, and he was not happy at this time. As soon as the two of them approached the crowd, some waiters recognized Gongyi Xiu and welcomed them to the Yaxuan next to the stage to take a seat, and the curtain was half covered.
In the center of the table is a piano case, and on the side of the piano case is a pot of flowers. The vigorous knotted flower branches, the thin and pointed petals, the flower buds are like transparent ice and snow sculptures, and the pavilion stands on the green leaves, like a pool of pure and shy, budding ice lotus.
Among the people on the inner and outer three floors, no one can say what kind of flower this is. In the end, the owner told each other, only to know that this flower actually had a great origin. Its ancestors were originally a green grass in Surabaya, listening to the piano day and night and gradually gaining spirituality, being good at distinguishing the elegance of the sound, and wishing to bloom when hearing the wonderful sound, otherwise the bud will always be closed. The piano was absolutely pleased with its subtlety, so it was called "bosom lotus". Later, Murong Yunshang begged him, and part of this flower was transplanted to the "Cloud Ladder Moon Land", and then by coincidence, it gradually flowed into the world.
After everyone listened, the interest in this "bosom lotus" almost exceeded that of the famous piano "Butterfly Dream" and Miss Zhuang herself, who was more interested in the piano. Unfortunately, five or six people tried it one after another, including many people in the city, but the bosom friend lotus did not move.
The master personally asked Gongyi Xiu, but Gongyi Xiu still politely refused. The old man Zhuang regretted in his heart, but when he saw Qing Huan, who was pretending to be Xiao Langjun on the side of Gongyi's cultivation, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and he still didn't seem to understand, so he had to retreat anyway.
Two more tried to no avail, and the crowd gradually became agitated, and they all doubted the authenticity of this bosom friend's statement. There was some uproar, but the restless sound suddenly became louder, and then it was silent, only butterflies played with fragrant flowers, and the sound of the piano like a warm sun echoed like silk, and the fingertips of the people who stroked the qin seemed to be dipped in the sun.
Although Qing Huan is not good at the piano, if you only talk about the taste, it can be regarded as a very good level in the world. Her ears are tricky, and she can hear it at once if she plays it well or badly. As soon as the sound of the piano sounded, curiosity arose in my heart, and immediately the cat leaned down and looked out from the gap in the curtain.
Gongyi took a cup of tea, and smiled when she heard the words: "What's the matter, little sister?" ”
Qing Huan turned her head with her mouth half-open, pointed outside and said: "The one who plays the piano is a big beauty, brother ......" Seeing that Gongyi Xiu didn't react, she said again: "This, it should be Miss Zhuang who recruits relatives from the qin, if you are my second sister-in-law, it is really good, second brother, do you want to think about it, ha......"
Gongyi Xiu's smile remained unchanged, but that smile was difficult to penetrate into his eyes no matter what.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky was still a little cold, but as soon as the sound of the piano sounded, a picture of a harmonious spring seemed to emerge in front of everyone's eyes. With a light pluck, the people are beautiful and fancy, and the bosom friend lotus on the side quietly bloomed two, and no one in the onlookers dared to doubt it.
As soon as Miss Zhuang finished playing, applause erupted from all sides. But one of them said lazily—
"It's just two, isn't it rare?"
Master Zhuang directly brushed his face, looked around angrily, but saw that he didn't know when on the eaves, he actually leaned lazily on a person, looking at the situation, it was the person who was not disrespectful.
Master Zhuang was about to be angry, but was stopped by Miss Zhuang, and bowed to the person on the eaves, and said, "The little woman's clumsy skills are rude, and she is indeed unbearable in everyone's eyes. Since the son is through the door, I don't know if he can teach him, so that the little woman can open her eyes. ”
The people on the eaves flew down lightly, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.
The young man with a long body has a pale skin without a trace of blood, as if he has not seen the light of day for a long time. A pair of eyes were a little dark and bright, like the coldest and brightest stars embedded in jade in the dark night. Although this face is handsome, it exudes evil and evil everywhere, and when people see him, their momentum is weakened by three points.
Master Zhuang's momentum was not weak at all, and he followed his daughter's words and said: "Yes, since you are so good, why don't you play a song on the spot, so that the old man who stepped into the coffin with one foot can also open his eyes." ”
This young man's temper is really strange, he made provocative words first, but now he is ridiculed but he is still like that, Shui Bo is not happy and said calmly: "Why do you need to be me, I can point out a person whose piano skills are far stronger than Ling Qianjin." ”
Qing Huan looked at the young man, and his heart seemed to be intimidated by that evil appearance for a while. The boy glanced at them as if unintentionally, and then casually stretched out his hand and pointed—
"Xiao Yezi and the second brother, I don't know where to go." Lonely Stream chattered while eating kebabs. These days, they shouted with Qing Huan Gongyi and Gongyi to be the eldest brother and second brother, which was also very smooth, "Hey, what are so many people doing here?" ”
Cheng Yao and Yun Xiao also stopped together and looked in with him.
The crowd suddenly turned their heads like a tide, looked up at the lonely stream, and said to Chengyao: "Why is there someone pointing at you?" (To be continued.) )
