46. Ask and see
"Girl, slow down!" Just as the pink-clothed maid was about to walk out of the private room, Gao Li suddenly called out to her.
"Childe, please command." The pink-clothed maid didn't show any dissatisfaction, but quietly turned around and asked softly.
Gao Li took out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, the silk handkerchief was made of fine silk, very plain and there was no embroidery, and then he took out a small ink cartridge from his body like a trick, which contained ground ink, and the ink cartridge was connected with a small brush with a red rope, the bristles were fine wolf hair, and the pen barrel was made of sterling silver casting very small and exquisite, and the brush had a pen cover, which could be rotated to take out the brush, thus protecting the brush. At this time, if Lan Susu is here, he will be very surprised, because this brush looks so much like a fountain pen!
Gao Li took out the brush and opened the ink cartridge after the brush was dipped in ink, and then the pen was written on the silk handkerchief, the maid had a trace of surprise, she had worked in the sea and listened to the waves for a long time, and basically came here to be high-ranking officials and nobles, so it can also be said that she had a lot of knowledge, but it was the first time to write on the silk handkerchief.
Gao Li finished writing quickly, because it was written on the silk handkerchief, the silk handkerchief had already absorbed part of the ink, and there was no need to wait for the ink to dry, after writing, Gao Li folded the silk handkerchief and handed it to the maid.
"Please give this to the lady who played the piano just now." "Childe, do you still need me to bring a message?" The maid has been listening to the waves for a long time, and she still has this eyesight.
"Please tell Miss Jean if we can see each other again if it is convenient." Gao Li's expression was still gentle.
"I know, please wait for my reply, Miss will reply to Childe whether she sees it or not." The maid saluted again and then left the private room.
In the private room on the third floor, Lan Susu and Tingqin were drinking tea, and occasionally commented on the talents of the ladies and sons downstairs, but the discussion between the two was more about management and employment and doing business.
There was a gentle knock on the door, three times at a time, it was the people who listened to the waves, and everyone here had been trained in all aspects according to the requirements of Lan Susu before the opening. When he heard the knock on the door, he was about to get up and open the door, but Lan Susu motioned for him to sit down and not move, and got up to open the door by himself.
Lan Susu opened the door and saw a pink-clothed maid standing outside the door. When the maid saw Lan Susu open the door, she turned sideways and gave a regular salute.
"I've met Miss Tingqin." The maid's voice is very soft, and it doesn't make people think about it when you listen to it, but it feels very comfortable.
"What's the matter with me?" Lan Susu's voice was flat, the maid always felt that Miss Qin was a little different today, but she couldn't tell where it was, seeing that Miss Qin was still wearing the clothes she had just taken the stage, the maid smiled secretly in her heart, Miss was different, her clothes hadn't changed! It's just that I'm too careful.
"The guest in the private room 'Mulan' on the first floor asked me to bring this." The maid offered her things with both hands.
Lan Susu looked at the maid, and saw that the maid had a neatly folded silk handkerchief in her hand, and the silk handkerchief was folded neatly, and the people who wanted to come to the silk handkerchief must be very disciplined in their work. Lan Susu stretched out his hand to take the silk handkerchief, opened it and took a look, only to see a poem written on the silk handkerchief in regular small letters, which was written very well and thought that he had worked calligraphy:
"There is a plum next to the peony flower, a bunch of rich and shabby. Hudao peony is the color of the heavenly kingdom, and it is necessary to know that plum accounts for a hundred flowers. ”
The poem is a good poem, it seems that there is something to say, Lan Susu secretly thought in her heart. Seeing that the pink-clothed maid was still waiting aside, Lan Susu's heart became clear at a glance. "What else did that boy say?"
"Childe said that if it is convenient, I hope to ask Miss to talk about it."
"It's fun to have friends from afar, and it's not a gentleman to learn and learn. Go back and tell the son, and I'll see him later. ”
"Yes, Miss." After getting Lan Susu's answer, the pink-clothed maid saluted Lan Susu again and walked downstairs.
Lan Susu turned back to the private room, put the silk handkerchief aside, sat down and drank the tea in the cup. Tingqin watched Lan Susu's reaction, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the last time I went to the White Horse Temple, I had itchy hands and played a poppy in the pavilion in the backyard of Qingliangtai, and was heard by the guests in the private room, I was a little angry at the time, he eavesdropped and didn't have anything to do with him, I think he heard my piano today, so I want to see me."
Regarding the invitation of the boy in white, Lan Susu thought carefully in his heart and felt that it should be like this, maybe that person also likes music and rhythm, so he wants to see himself.
"Miss is not familiar with that person, so don't see him!!" Tingqin's tone was faintly worried.
"It's okay, it's okay to see it in public. When we do business, it's about the visitors and the guests. Lan Susu didn't care, and smiled slightly, "You just stay here and wait for me, I'll go see him and come back soon." ”
In order to reassure Tingqin, Lan Susu also deliberately added an extra sentence, and after patting Tingqin's shoulder and signaling her to wait for her here, Lan Susu got up and walked downstairs, and after arriving on the first floor, Lan Susu did not stop much and went directly into the private room where Gao Li was. Gao Li was not surprised by Lan Susu's arrival, the maid had already replied that the beautiful woman would be invited, he just motioned for Lan Susu to sit down, and personally took a clean teacup for Lan Susu to get a cup of tea for Lan Susu, and handed it to Lan Susu.
"Thank you, I don't know what is the matter with the childe looking for the little girl?" Lan Susu didn't twist, and directly said what he wanted to know.
"I want to apologize for the abruptness of being in the White Horse Temple that day." Gao Li was not annoyed that Lan Susu's attitude was disrespectful, and if there was a misunderstanding between him and himself, he naturally had to explain the misunderstanding first.
"Apologize? How was Childe sure that it was the little girl he saw at the White Horse Temple that day? Speaking of his attitude towards Gao Li, Lan Susu also felt a little confused in his heart, and this kind of expression was not like his usual self.
"I was going to find my teacher that day, but he was lecturing at the time, and I couldn't bother, so I wanted to go and see the backyard where I was still studying in Qingliangtai and often went to play the piano, but I didn't want the girl to be playing the piano at that time. After speaking, Gao Li stood up and saluted Lan Susu, who also got up and returned the salute, and then the two sat down again. "So, the zither in the lotus pond pavilion is owned by the son?" Lan Susu raised an eyebrow.
"No, in my early years, I had the privilege of staying in the pavilion for a while, and in my spare time, I would play the piano in the pavilion and have fun with my friends. It's just that in recent years, I've traveled abroad and rarely had time to come back, so I went to the White Horse Temple on the day I came back to meet the old people. ”
"I see, then it's time for me to apologize for using your piano without the owner's consent." Lan Susu's eyes and eyebrows were all with a slight smile, which made Gao Li a little dazed for a while, although he couldn't see the appearance of the woman in front of him clearly through the veil, but he felt that he must be a peerless beauty who captivated the country and the city. After many years, Gao is still sighing, and the conjecture in his heart at that time is not only true, but also can be said to be too much!
"It should be said that the piano is blessed to let the young lady play it once." Gao Li smiled and said, this person seems to be smiling at all times, such a person is either too optimistic or too deep in his heart, Gao Li is obviously the latter, Lan Susu made a conclusion in his heart.
"Childe is too modest, today is me and my sister presiding over this tea party, and there are still things to deal with, so I won't bother Childe." Lan Susu stood up.
"It's also Gao Li's honor to be able to see Miss explain the misunderstanding, so Miss will go and get busy." Gao Li still had a smile on his face, and the smile perfectly covered up what he was thinking in his heart, but Lan Susu didn't plan to understand, it was just a meeting in Pingshui.
"It's a rare good place for us to listen to the sea and listen to the waves, and I hope that the son will have a good time." Leaving these words, Lan Susu smiled and left the private room.
