Chapter Eighty-Nine: Request

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival was lively again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the streets were crowded with people, and the warm lanterns paved the Shili Royal Street into a bright galaxy.

Jiao'e Meiji competes for beauty, and the shiny ornaments on her hair bun are more dazzling than lanterns.

A few of our juniors wandered around the street until our legs were weak, and then we reluctantly went home.

When I came back, Liangyuan and I each held a lantern in our hands, which was given by the third brother. Liangyuan, who has not dealt with the third brother for a long time, rarely said "thank you" to the third brother.

I think this is a precursor to "breaking the ice".

After the beginning of spring, I have been looking forward to the news of Lan Sheng's visit to Qiantang, but Lan Sheng wrote to me that the day of coming to Qiantang may have to be postponed.

This is mainly because the position in Fuzhou has not yet been vacated, and he has to wait.

The official system of the Song Dynasty had this problem, there were many officials and few positions, and the scholar finally got a fame, and he had to wait for others to move the land for him. Some have waited for several years, and I hope Lan Sheng's encounter will not be so tragic.

When encountering such a thing, Lan Sheng must be more anxious than me. When I wrote back, I comforted him.

After the Lantern Festival, I took some gifts to visit Master at the Holy Lotus Hall.

Master is a widow, and the place where he lives looks very widowed, and what catches his eye is either black and white, or blue and brown. Such a place is indeed suitable for concentrating and calming the mind and cultivating one's self-cultivation.

During the conversation, Master asked me how I was doing. I broke out in a cold sweat and found a topic to divert from the original topic. I thought to myself that I would definitely study the piano art when I went back.

After returning from Master's place, I found all Zhu Shuzhen's books on music and rhythm, read them diligently, and moved out the guqin that I hadn't touched for a long time, and practiced every day.

The magic sound is endless.

Yue Ying felt strange and asked me euphemistically, is this a melody that I have recently studied?

I had to blush and tell her that I hadn't touched the piano for nearly a year, so I took a big step back......

Fortunately, Liangyuan is a good fan of the piano and can always guide me.

In March, Xiaoyangchun, Liangyuan, and my third brother went to the grange outside the city to go on a trip. When I came back, I came back with a few small saplings and wanted to plant them in the yard.

Liangyuan is also a person who likes flowers and plants, and when she saw me planting saplings in the yard, she also came to give me a hand.

I was squatting on the ground digging a hole for the saplings, and Liangyuan asked me softly, "Cousin, do you know a woman named 'Su Xiao'?" Whose family is she? ”

I held the hand of the hoe for a moment, and the woman who was good with my eldest brother was called "Su Xiao". How did Liangyuan know? Could it be that the third brother told her again?

I heard the third brother say that this "Su Xiao" is not the lady of any family, but the young lady in the "Lingge Building", one of the four major green buildings in Qiantang.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was still a very obvious difference between the titles "lady" and "miss". The world judges that only a woman in a serious family can be called a "lady", and a woman in the Qinglou tile house is called "Miss".

This Miss Su Xiaosu is one of the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan, and Liangyuan doesn't know?

But then again, it's also a boudoir woman, how do I know about this?

For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed.

After sighing for myself, I put down my hoe and said, "I don't know much about this...... I only know that she seems to live in a place called 'Lingge Tower'. ”

Talking to a little girl who doesn't know anything, I'd better not act too knowledgeable.

Liangyuan let out an "oh", and then said, "Then cousin, can you take me there?" ”

"Huh?" I asked, with wide eyes, surprised.

Sure enough, it is "the ignorant are fearless". Just because I don't know anything, I dare to do anything.

Liangyuan took a step closer and said worriedly, "What's wrong?" Cousin can't go? ”

I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead and said, "Not really...... No, it's just ...... It's inconvenient, it's inconvenient to bother ......."

"You can hand her a note first, and you can bring some gifts." Liangyuan advised.

I was speechless. Should I tell her that Lingge Tower is a green building? But after telling her, maybe she will ask me again, what kind of building is the "green building"?

In hesitation, Liangyuan leaned over and put her arm around me, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, didn't you say that you would help me and never let me be wronged?" ”

I said seriously, "Of course." Then he asked, "But why did you go to see that woman named 'Su Xiao'?" ”

Could it be that her affection for her eldest brother has not disappeared?

Liangyuan didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, she whispered: "I went to ask the third cousin again, and he said...... The woman that my big cousin likes...... It's called 'Su Xiao', so I'm curious......"

Today, she finally told the story and the discernment. When she was asked before, she never mentioned the eldest brother and the third brother.

I know that the pimple in Liangyuan's heart is not so big.

What if you see it? I still can't quite understand Liangyuan's plan.

I said to her, "I can take you there, Ke Liangyuan, can you tell me why you have to go?" What do you want to do when you go? ”

She shook her head and said, "No why, and don't do anything...... It's just strange, what kind of difference is there between people? Why does the big cousin like her...... Don't like me? Cousin, you don't know...... That's what my mother said to me when I came......"

As she spoke, her voice lowered and she whimpered softly.

I put my arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "It's amazing to like this thing, it's possible that someone doesn't like you, but someone else likes you." After a pause, he said, "Liangyuan, whether my eldest brother likes you or not, my cousin asks you, do you like my eldest brother?" ”

Liangyuan was silent for a while and said, "I'...... I don't know, but when my mother came...... That's what I said......"

I made up my mind and said, "If you just want to see you, my cousin can take you there, but you must say in advance that you are not allowed to cry after you go, and besides, you must listen to me." ”

"Hmm!" Liangyuan nodded seriously.

This decision was made not without consideration. On the one hand, I thought that Liangyuan didn't see the real person, and it was inevitable that she would have a trace of inexplicable feelings for her eldest brother, if she could see it with her own eyes, maybe she would be able to completely break off her feelings. Moreover, I can also logically use this banner to see the world of the ancient Qinglou - this long-standing Fengyue field in novel writing.

Of course, the first is the main reason. Yes, the main ...... I comforted myself with my conscience.

After planting the saplings, we went back to the attic and changed into men's clothes. The clothes and shoes I wore when I went to Tanzhou before are still there, and it is not difficult to get them together.
