Chapter 027: Heartbeat
Helian sat in the main hall, and for the first time felt that the crowd was full of people, and the lively and noisy banquet was so boring and boring. He sat for a while, claimed to be drunk, and retired first. Out of the main hall, I only felt that my heart was empty, there was nothing to rely on, I walked around, and I walked to the depths of the palace unconsciously, and suddenly heard the faint sound of music in the depths of the peach forest.
Helian Ding couldn't help but be curious, and went away in search of the music, and walked out of the woods, and in front of him was a two-story building. On that platform, Qiyun stood against the railing, facing the moonlight, holding a horizontal flute, and the melodious music was from Qiyun's flute.
Helian stood under the platform of the building, looking upward, and couldn't help but be stupid. I saw that the sky was deep blue and clear like a sea, with a slight floating clouds. There was a full moon in the sky, and the moonlight of the full moon was as clear as water, and its clear light poured on Qiyun. The evening breeze blew her blue-purple clothes, her silver forehead shimmered with a cold shimmer, and her inky hair fluttered lightly in the wind.
She stood in the moonlight, like a hazy light veil mist, so ethereal, mysterious and beautiful, like a fairy riding the wind. The sound of the flute in the quiet night, melodious and fluttering, echoing, with a little faint sadness, lingering with infinite reverie and longing.
He stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of him, listening to the mysterious sounds of Qingyue in his ears. Qiyun also saw Helian Ding, the horizontal flute in his hand was slowly put down, and his clear eyes looked at him coldly. At this moment, his heart jumped wildly, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he was afraid of scaring away the fairy in front of him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qiyun turned around and left, leaving only a beautiful figure for him.
Since then, this beautiful scene has been deeply engraved in the young man's heart and has become an eternal dream in his heart. In his life, whether it was embarrassment or glory, whether it was love or hatred in his heart, it became a precious picture that he could never erase until the end of his life.
In the early morning, Helian Ding washed and decorated, held the gold inlaid jade in his hand, and said to himself in the mirror, "County Lord, this piece of gold inlaid jade was originally the personal belongings of the county lord, and now it is returned to the original owner, please accept it with a smile." After saying that, he secretly thought, no, if the gold and jade are returned to Qiyun, then there will be no excuse to see her in the future. As......
He carefully put the gold inlaid jade into his arms again, put it close to his body, and then said to himself in the mirror: "County Lord, this prince in Chang'an City is not very familiar with it, why don't you take this prince to go shopping, okay?" He shook his head again, and felt that it was inappropriate. After trying a few times, Helian Ding felt that the tone and language were more appropriate, and he rushed out of the door to find Qiyun.
Facing the bright-eyed Qiyun, Helian Ding still had some period of Ai Ai, "County Lord, I heard that Chang'an City is very rich and prosperous, and the county lord is quite familiar with Chang'an, so it's better to..."
Qiyun smiled and said warmly: "Fifth prince, Qiyun is willing to go to Chang'an City with His Highness for a tour. Helian couldn't have imagined that Qiyun knew his thoughts, and he agreed so happily that his heart couldn't help but bloom.
The two went out side by side, and when they were about to leave the imperial city, they saw a Xiongnu noble girl on the road, dressed in a gorgeous costume, rushing over, shouting: "Brother Ding, wait for me." I'm Limin, wait for me. ”
Helian Ding had to stop, the girl ran to the two of them, panted slightly, dragged Helian Ding's arm, and said loudly: "Brother Ding, where are you going?" Why don't you wait for me? ”
Helian Ding's face was a little unnatural, and he forced a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is the daughter of the Imperial Historian Li, this is the Zhuohua County Lord of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom. ”
The slender eyes of the dry Limin looked at Qiyun, and turned his head to ask, "You are the county lord of Zhuohua who disguised herself as a man and was captured by the crown prince?" ”
Helian Ding saw that she was straightforward, and gave Limin a look. Seeing that she was innocent and straightforward, and had no malice, Qiyun smiled and said, "Don't dare, Miss Qigan just needs to call me Qiyun." ”
Limin also smiled: "Then don't call Miss Qigan, just call me Limin or Min'er." He asked Helian Ding again: "Brother Ding, where are you going to play?" ”
"We're going to take a walk in the Chang'an City Market." Helian Ding was a little reluctant.
Li Min happily pulled Helian Ding's arm, "Brother Ding, I just came, and I haven't visited Chang'an City." Why don't you take me with you? Helian didn't answer, only looked at Qiyun. Qiyun said with a smile: "There is one more person on the road to be lively, if Miss Limin has this intention, it is better to go together." ”
The three of them came to the gate of the imperial city, and the guards stepped forward to inquire. Qiyun looked at it coldly, and saw Helian Ding take off a gold medal from his waist and show it to the guards, who quickly bowed and saluted, and let him go.
They left the imperial city and came to the Chang'an City market, and they walked all the way to see that Limin had lived in the northern grassland for a long time, and rarely came to such a lively market. Very excited and curious about everything. Qiyun has been in Jiankang for many years, and Jiankang was the largest city at that time, with a population of one million, romantic characters, and prosperous business. Qiyun looked at those items, and his eyes lit up when he saw the street snacks.
Helian Ding saw that she was indifferent to everything, but she was full of interest in eating, and couldn't help but smile secretly, paying close attention to the various restaurants and restaurants in the market. After strolling around for a while, he beckoned the two of them into a restaurant together. The three of them sat down, and Helian Ding and Li Min called the shopkeeper and told him not to save money, but to serve the most delicious specialty snacks in the store.
After a while, Xiao Er served Qishan Zhenzi noodles, cured meat, retort cake, shabu tripe, queen mother cake and other special snacks, and the table was very rich. In front of all kinds of snacks, Limin feasted on them, and Qiyun was indeed light, just tasted each snack lightly, and put down the dishes and chopsticks after a while.
Helian asked puzzledly, "Qiyun, why don't you eat it?" Isn't it tasty? ”
Qiyun replied: "These snacks look different in different styles and come in many names. However, if compared with Jiankang's snacks, Qiyun feels that the taste is not good, and it is not as delicious and fragrant as the southern cuisine. ”
Li Min's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "No, this is the most famous specialty snack in Chang'an City." This shop was also found by Brother Ding for a long time. ”
Qiyun replied with a smile: "You have not been to Jiankang, the prosperity of Jiankang City, the abundance of goods, beyond your imagination." On both sides of the Qinhuai River, which is the most famous, there is a dazzling array of food, and the color and taste are good. There are boiled dried shreds, assorted tofu, hibiscus choy sum, shredded chicken toppings, etc., I can't count them. ”
Helian Ding couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard her tell her, and Li Min couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly, and sighed: "Sister Yun, when can you take me to Jiankang to play and eat all the delicacies you said?" ”
"Actually, if you want to eat southern food, you don't have to ask for fish. Far away, close at hand, there is a person next to you who is good at cooking southern food. "Qiyun sold a pass.
The two of them said in unison and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Mao-Xiu-Zhi," Qiyun replied word by word. Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, he said: "Mao Xiuzhi is Mao Xiu's Mao Sima who served under His Majesty a few days ago. His cooking skills in cooking southern cuisine are very superb, and he is because of his good cooking skills, he presented the delicious dish of beef and mutton to Liu Yu, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”
Li Min didn't believe it anymore when she heard it, clapped her hands and smiled: "Great, Brother Ding, we will also ask him to cook southern food for us in the future, especially what kind of beef and sheep soup is there." ”
Helian shook his head and interrupted her, "Limin, don't dream. Mao Xiuzhi is now an important minister under his father's command, how can he cook for us? ”
Li Min patted him on the shoulder heartily, "It doesn't matter, you're afraid of your father, but I'm not afraid." I asked my father to say, or I went and talk to His Majesty myself, and let Mao Xiuzhi cook for us. ”
Qiyun asked curiously: "I have heard that His Majesty is powerful and fierce, and he is very strict with people, and there are very few people who can get close to him, but His Majesty treats you and your father very well, and it must be that you and the Imperial Doctor have something special." ”
Limin was proud, "That's nature. Of course, the most important thing is that my father had the wisdom to help His Majesty achieve the great cause he is today. Brother Ding, Limin is not wrong, right? ”
Helian Ding bowed his head lightly and said, "You're right. Back then, your father was alone and defected to your father's tribe, but your uncle tied up his father and wanted to sacrifice it to Tuoba Jue of Wei. If it weren't for your father secretly letting him go, and the two of them were displaced together and supporting each other, how could there be today's achievements of my father? However, it also angered the Wei State, and hated that the Wei army had wiped out your Qigan clan, causing your people to scatter and flee. ”
Qiyun didn't expect that Helian Bobo and Qigan Ali had been together and had an unusually deep relationship between them. No wonder Helian Bobo was so brutal, but he was very kind to Gang Ali and his surviving family.
Li Min nodded and said, "Yes, the Wei State and your father and emperor have a deep blood feud with our Qigan clan. He approached the two of them again and whispered: "Don't look at Your Majesty's majesty, I heard my father say that when he fled the country, he took refuge and escaped together. Your father often had nightmares all night, screaming and sweating. My father asked him what was wrong, and he said that he dreamed again that his clan relatives were chased and killed by the Wei army and pushed into the Yellow River. When Helian Ding and Qiyun heard this, they were both embarrassed.
