Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn this day, he came to Xue Zhao's courtyard and saw Xue Zhao tuning the strings for her Yuxi. She lowered her head and listened carefully to the sound of each string of Yuxi, and then twisted the piano with her slender hand, either tightly or loosely, looking so focused that she didn't even notice his arrival.
Cang Shizhu didn't want to disturb her, and sat down gently on the chair in front of her, staring at Xuezhao's lowered eyelids, his gaze gentle as water. After a long while, Xue Zhao finished adjusting all seven strings, she sighed softly, raised her head and suddenly saw Cang Shizhu opposite, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, and smiled, "How long have you been here?" I didn't hear it. ”
Cang Shizhu also smiled, and he said, "I just want to see you concentrate on tuning the strings, and I deliberately didn't call you." ”
Xue Zhao said, "Do you want to go outside?" I'll go with you. ”
Cang Shizhu said, "I'm going home today to visit my father." Xue Zhao nodded when she heard this, but Cang Shizhu stopped talking, and said after a while, "My father will come over in a few days... Propose. After speaking, he looked at Xuezhao's face. Xue Zhao's face turned a little pale, and her head was lowered.
After a while, Cang Shizhu saw that Xue Zhao was silent, and said softly, "Xue Zhao, if you are still willing to live here, I will ask my father to send more people to help you protect the Yaoqin left by Ling Zun." If you don't want to live here, we can find a big house elsewhere and send someone to take care of it, what do you think? ”
Xue Zhao frowned slightly, supported his chest with his hand, and said forcibly, "Let me think about it." ”
Cang Shizhu nodded and said, "I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back, take care of yourself." Xue Zhao nodded invisibly.
Cang Shizhu said again, "Xuezhao, I don't know why I'm very uneasy. I don't know what's going to happen when it's gone. Before leaving, I'll play a song for you, okay? I'm afraid... There will be no chance in the future. ”
Xue Zhao saw that his face was worried, and comforted him, "You have been thinking too much lately, take care of your body, don't think too much." If you want to play, play it. ”
Saying that, Xue Zhao gave up his seat to Cang Shizhu, sat on the chair where Cang Shizhu was sitting, and looked at him quietly.
Cang Shizhu put his hand on the strings and smiled at Xue Zhao, and the sound of the piano flowed out tactfully, but it was a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.
The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.
The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, comfort me and wander.
I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed.
Towards the end of the piece, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and one of the strings broke. Cang Shizhu's face suddenly turned pale. Xue Zhao was also stunned, she was silent for a moment, stood up and said to Cang Shizhu, "Xu is just right for me to adjust the strings tighter, it's okay, I'll just put it on again." ”
Cang Shizhu sighed silently, stood up, and reluctantly smiled at Xue Zhao and said, "Then I'll go." You... Take care. ”
Xue Zhao smiled and comforted him, "It's not that I won't come back." Don't worry too much about it, go back and rest for a few more days. ”
Cang Shizhu nodded, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to turn around and leave, leaving Xue Zhao standing in the courtyard, looking at the courtyard gate where he left, and didn't move for a long time.
Min Po was going to the market to sell the silk they had reeled in the past few days, so she carried the basket into the city and hurried towards Tonghetang. She walked through the noisy lobby and headed down to the inner courtyard. The guy Xiao Wu saw her and asked, "Granny Min, are you looking for our young owner?" Min Po nodded and asked anxiously, "Are you young owners here?" ”
Xiao Wu smiled apologetically and said, "Yo, it's unfortunate, our young owner went out early this morning!" He asked again, "What's the important matter about my mother-in-law, when the young owner comes back, Xiao Wu will help you pass on a message?" ”
Min Po said, "When he comes back, you tell him, Miss Yu... She didn't know how to speak, and after thinking for a long time, Fang continued, "Gongzi Cang is going to propose to Miss Yu!" Xiao Wu's mouth opened wide in surprise when he heard this, although he didn't know the inside story, but their young owner's interest in Miss was well known to everyone in Tonghe Hall. Xiao Wu's mouth was open for a while and finally closed, and he said with a solemn expression, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll tell him immediately when the young owner comes back." Min Po nodded, sighed and turned to leave.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't return to Tonghetang until the evening, he looked tired, walked through the lobby to the inner courtyard, and was just about to bypass the screen, Xiao Wu ran over from the side and grabbed him, and said, "Shao Dong, Xiao Wu has something important to tell you." ”
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Wu looked left and right, and then pulled Lin Xiuyuan to a secluded place and took two steps, Fang said in a low voice, "Miss Yu's mother-in-law Min came to you today, you are not here, she asked me to tell you, Gongzi Cang is going to propose to Miss Yu!" ”
Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank as if he was being grabbed by something, his brows were locked into a Sichuan shape, his hand involuntarily held on to the door frame next to him, he was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "I know." He said that he continued to walk towards the inner courtyard, but his steps were slightly heavy.
Xiao Wu looked at the back of the Shaodong family in a daze behind him, sighed, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly saw Steward Liu standing behind him, silently, and bluffed him. He smiled, "Steward Liu, why don't you stand behind me without making a sound?" ”
Steward Liu asked quietly with an inquiring expression, "Just now, what did you say happened to Miss Yu?" ”
Xiao Wu saw that there was no one left and right, and put a hand to his mouth and said, "Then Miss Yu wants to marry a canggongzi!" ”
Steward Liu's eyes rolled, nodded and said, "Oh... That young owner and that Miss Yu... ”
"Definitely not." Xiao Wu said, "Our young owner is also quite pitiful, and finally has an eye-catcher, alas! Steward Liu, where are you going? ”
Steward Liu had already walked briskly to the corner of the inner courtyard, where his only daughter, Liu Xiaozhen, lived. He knocked at the door, his voice light and eager. Liu Xiaozhen opened the door, saw that it was Butler Liu, hurriedly let him into the house, and asked, "Daddy, why are you so happy?" ”
Steward Liu sat on the only chair in the room, with a happy face, and said, "I just heard the news that Miss Yu is going to marry some son, haha!" ”
Liu Xiaozhen listened, lowered his head and smiled with satisfaction. She said, "Last time, Daddy's method really worked, and my daughter thanks Daddy!" Steward Liu smiled and rubbed a mole on his right chin, stared at the ground, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Daddy still has a good plan behind." ”
Lin Xiuyuan entered the room and sat down on the chair with a slump in his face, no longer hiding the pain in his eyes. He slowly took out the small white silk cloth strip from the inner pocket of his body, and the graceful fly-headed Xiaokai on it jumped into his eyes again, "I chant phoenix tail, Jun Yitonghe." Lin Xiuyuan held it in the palm of his hand and pressed it tightly to his chest. He thought, tomorrow, he was going to find Lun Shizhu.
