Chapter 33: The Return of the King (II)
The sound of the piano tugged at the heartstrings, and Shen Ziqian's eyes were closed, as if he saw the vast border city without smoke, and the grassland was gloomy and white snow falling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was only for a short time, and when he came back to his senses and opened his eyes, he saw that the autumn leaves around him seemed to be shaking in fright.
After participating in the autumn examination, Shen Ziqian was pulled by a group of classmates to this teahouse frequented by literati and scholars, and there were many private rooms in the teahouse, which were divided into four rooms with "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum".
"Brother Shen, you're here for the right time."
Liang Ping, a classmate, laughed in his voice, and was happier than winning the lift, and Shen Ziqian, who was watching, also laughed.
"What? Could it be that there is something better in this teahouse than a book?
A group of people walked into a small room in the "bamboo" room, and before they could sit down, they heard the plucking of the strings outside.
"It's really a coincidence, Brother Shen hurry up and do it, this thing that is better than a book will come soon."
Liang Ping always said that Shen Ziqian was immersed in hard study all day long, and every time he had to say that he would take him out to see the world, but Shen Ziqian always said that he was not empty, so this matter was pushed again and again, now it's okay, it's only a matter of time after the results are finished, he has no excuse to refuse, Liang Ping brought him to this teahouse.
"What the hell is this?"
Shen Ziqian was originally a young man in the countryside who failed to make a list, because he did not achieve fame in the last autumn exam, so he even slept with a book in the past two years, and only looked up with his family every day without looking down.
Hearing Shen Ziqian's question, the friends who came with him just turned their heads and smiled at him, then put their fingers to their mouths and signaled him not to speak.
The outside room had been quiet for a while, and Shen Ziqian thought that it was his own auditory hallucinations before, but now the sound of the piano protruded, making him stunned for a while.
When Shen Ziqian gradually got better, he closed his eyes and saw a different scene, the birds in the mountains scattered and gathered, and the floating clouds were dark and bright.
The sound of the piano turned suddenly, like the screaming of a lost group of young geese at night, like the cry of Hu Er's mother, Shen Ziqian, who listened to it, frowned, and there was a blood in his heart, and he thought that he was just a nerd who could read, and there was a sigh in his heart.
Listening to the sound of the piano that gradually stopped, Shen Ziqian remained motionless, and he couldn't stop sighing in his heart, the end of this song ...... Just like the river calmed the waves by listening to the music, and the birds stopped crying when they heard the sound.
At the end of the song, when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Liang Ping staring at him directly, with a hint of a playful smile on his face.
"How? I'll just say there's something good here, right? ”
Liang Ping didn't retract his smile, but the whole person got closer to Shen Ziqian, and there was something unpredictable in his eyes.
"What kind of song is this?"
Shen Ziqian's dark eyes were black and shiny, and the bottom of his eyes was wet that had not dried after being infected by the song.
"What? Shen Caizi is also interested in this piano player? ”
Glancing at Liang Ping, he obviously asked about the tune, but the person who played the piano was superb, which made him want to meet him.
"No, no, no, I'm just asking, if you can play the song so well, you must be a good person."
Shen Ziqian saw that his friends all looked ill-intentioned, and he had a little more guess about the person who played the piano.
"It's good, you wait."
Liang Ping walked to the door of the wing room, quietly opened a gap, and kept his eyes on the door.
waved to the people in the room, and Shen Ziqian was pushed out of the door by his friend.
"Ahem"
Shen Ziqian clenched his hands into fists, put them against his lips and coughed lightly, looked up at the woman not far from him, and was dazzled for a while.
When the frolicking sound from inside the door woke up Shen Ziqian, the woman in front of him was gone, looking at the friend snickering in the door, Shen Ziqian was a little helpless.
"I didn't do it."
Liang Ping shook his hand and hid behind a group of classmates, and after a while, the people on the street heard a burst of laughter from the teahouse.
Su Xuan, who quickly got into the carriage, pulled the curtain and glared at a certain box with wide open wooden windows on the second floor of the teahouse, and his white and tender little face bulged into a big meat bun.
The second time I saw Su Xuan, it was the day Shen Ziqian entered the palace to be rewarded.
That day, the sun was shining, and the autumn tiger made Shen Ziqian fan the wind with his sleeves, he wanted to hang out but got lost, but he heard the sound of the piano not far away, and when he walked with the sound of the piano to find out, he didn't expect to see the woman he saw in the teahouse that day.
When Su Xuan saw Shen Ziqian, he stopped what he was doing, snorted, and asked the palace maid to turn around and leave with the piano in his arms, ignoring Shen Ziqian, who had just raised his hand and wanted to ask for directions.
Third, fourth......
The more times he saw Su Xuan, the more Shen Ziqian found that he couldn't calm down, and finally, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Ziqian entered the palace to participate in the lantern festival, and he couldn't help but stop Su Xuan who was about to run again.
"Why did the girl run away as soon as she saw Shen?"
At that time, Shen Ziqian was stupid and didn't ask the surrounding bureaucrats, stupidly thinking which official lady this was.
"You, you ......"
Su Xuan blushed, and was choked by Shen Ziqian's question, how did she know how she ran away as soon as she saw him.
"That day, Shen listened to the girl play the piano very well, and wanted to have a good discussion with the girl......"
Shen Ziqian's voice gradually weakened, and he wanted to slap himself, the gentleman should let the woman, how could he say such a thing?
Su Xuan, who thought that Shen Ziqian would ask her if she was married, didn't react for a while, but the palace maid next to her laughed out loud after hearing it.
When the two of them reacted, they both blushed and stopped talking.
Shen Zhuangyuan was given a marriage, I heard that he still became famous with the princess?
Shen Ziqian, who was stopped outside the imperial mausoleum, couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene where the streets and alleys went viral after fighting the piano with Guan'er.
"What are you laughing at, hurry up, and don't see what your identity is."
Shen Ziqian, who had fallen off the cliff and been in a coma for three years, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he had been 'dead' for three years, his official status had long been invalid, and it was difficult to enter the palace......
On the street, Shen Ziqian grabbed a beggar and glanced at the beggar's body, it was worthy of being the capital, and even a beggar was dressed better than him.
took out the silver taels handed to him by Zong Jiming from his arms, and wanted the beggar to tell him what had happened in the princess's mansion over the years.
"Princess's Mansion? Isn't the princess's mansion gone, what is there to say? ”
The beggar bit the silver, then put it in his bosom and said impatiently.
"Did you say it?"
The dagger was on the beggar's neck, and Shen Ziqian turned his head to see Zong Jiming smiling at him.
"Let's talk about it, I said, since Shen Zhuangyuan's death, Princess An Le has been like a madman, crazy in the city for a few days, and then she was taken back to the palace by the Praetorian Guards.
There is also some news in the palace, I don't know if it's true or not, it is rumored that after the princess entered the palace, she has been sitting in the imperial garden and playing the piano, playing ten fingers dripping blood, the emperor saw Yu Xin couldn't bear it, so he sent the princess to a teahouse.
Well, the princess died in the window wing of the teahouse. ”
As the beggar's fingers looked, Shen Ziqian's tears instantly fell to the ground...... (To be continued.) )
