CHAPTER XXVIII
Dan Ying didn't care about eating any melon juice ice bowls at this time, and even all kinds of balsam dyes and crystal coral were not her goals. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She walked out from the end of Guiwei Street, turning two alleys in a row, and the sound of the city gradually drifted away, and the old brick wall separated the noise. She and her girl He'er suddenly went to a remote alley.
"Is it really going to be here?" Dan Ying asked He'er a little timidly.
"Definitely! I gave a lot of bribes to the general's house! The new incense that her young lady bought was bought here! He'er said firmly.
Walked more than 100 steps, the remote alley is almost to the end, turn around a bush of fat mulberry forest, the eyes are bright, but see a small house with four eaves upturned, a wooden plaque in front of the door, two lines of small words: "May I be full of happiness, add a piece of incense."
"It should ...... This is it, right? He'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered. The door was originally half-hidden, Danying boldly entered, and saw that the four walls were glazed lattices, and each grid offered a kind of incense, with different colors and shapes, all of which were bright and interesting.
Danying couldn't help but stretch out his hand to push, but none of the glazed lattices could be opened. But listen to a gentle and slightly sandy voice: "Guest! The fragrance of the small shop cannot be tasted. ”
Danying walked out of a woman in Tsing Yi behind the store, her eyebrows were like smoke, her hair was like a cloud, and the whole person had a kind of trance and unreal charm, as if a cloud of smoke that fell here unintentionally, and it would dissipate when she blew her breath.
Danying stammered: "You, are you the shopkeeper?" ”
"We are guests!" He'er came to her senses, crossed her hands on her hips, "If you don't smell it, how can you buy it?" ”
"You can only choose once." The woman in Tsing Yi said with a smile, "Which one does Miss fancie, take out the concubine body, Miss tastes its breath, if she likes it, she will take it away, if she doesn't like it, she will stay, just as a contempt and a distinguished guest." ”
He'er shouted: "How can there be such a thing! You-" Danying shook her head and stopped her, pointing to the corner of the store and said, "That's it." ”
There were two crystal bottles, nestled in one place, one containing pink powder, with a moth-eyebrow-shaped skewer on the neck of the neck, labeled "Good Sister", and the other containing light green powder, called "Female Crown".
The woman in Tsing Yi looked at her fingers, nodded, and asked, "Which one?" ”
"Good sister." Danying said in a low voice.
As the woman in Tsing Yi expected. She took the bottle and gave it to Danying and quoted a very high price. Miss He'er urged her to open and smell it, to see if she is worthy of this price? Danying held the bottle tightly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away, shook his head and said, "It must be good, don't try it." "Cherish and leave with a hug.
She had to open the bottle tonight, when she was ready to go on that date, after she had changed into a costume, and she couldn't bear to leak a little fragrance before then.
"Miss, you're going to win." He'er knew what was on Miss's mind, and said thoughtfully, "Only you are worthy of Tang Gongzi." ”
Danying Hongsheng's cheeks: "Don't talk nonsense!" I...... I just want to see him, and I can say a word. For this ...... I am willing to be ruined. ”
"Everyone is going, how can they be ruined!" He'er comforted Danying, "It's going to be fine!" ”
The moonlight poured down like water. Tonight, in Qinglongfang, the shadow of the flowers is longing, and when the footsteps of the wind fall, they are all particularly mysterious, as if they are afraid of breaking the whispers of insects.
In the incense shop, the woman in Tsing Yi picked up a little moonlight with her fingertips, opened the bottle of "Female Crown", brought the moonlight to the mouth of the bottle, and the incense powder was lit "sneering", the smoke was pale white, as strong as the sword qi of late autumn, swirling around the room, and then went out of the window.
It is chasing the fragrance of "good sister".
Danying's family obviously lives in Dunpu Fang, but the sword fragrance of the female crown has been chased to the Tang family garden next to Qinglongfang.
The woman in Tsing Yi was following, but someone stopped her.
Under the moonlight, this person stood with his hands in his hands, his appearance was gorgeous, and his eyes were a little melancholy, but the melancholy made him more charming.
"Tang Gongzi?" The woman in Tsing Yi stopped, "Why are you here?" ”
This stunning son is the only son of the Tang family's fame, Tang Zhizhi. He smiled: "Your Excellency has come from afar, of course Xiaosheng has to wait." ”
There is a deep meaning in the words.
The woman in Tsing Yi didn't seem to understand anything, so she just said politely: "How dare the concubine work hard!" ”
Tang Zhizhi had no choice but to say it more clearly: "Madam is extraordinary, how did you think of coming to this city to open a small shop?" ”
The eyes of the woman in Tsing Yi flashed with real sadness: "I used to settle in another place. But my love...... He's dead. ”
Tang Zhizhi was shocked: "How could it be?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi lowered her eyelashes: "He just doesn't live long." "Deep low back. This loss is irretrievable, so there is no way to mourn, which is especially sad.
Tang Zhizhi let out a long sigh, as if he was touched by what happened to the woman in Tsing Yi, he stood speechless for a while, and the night wind blew his sleeves, as if he had been infatuated.
The sound of the piano, along with the wind, flows out of the annex.
The woman in Tsing Yi looked at her.
"Oh, that's just a little maid entertaining." Tang Zhizhi said lightly, as if he had just remembered, "By the way, there are some self-proclaimed masters who travel all over the world, are nosy, and are bent on promoting their so-called righteous path, and unscrupulously interfere with other people's lives, won't you?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi was shocked: "How can the concubine be so boring!" ”
Tang Zhizhi seemed to be satisfied. In the garden, there were the voices of Se, about dozens, all of which followed the sound of the piano, and the level of the drummers was uneven, and the music was noisy for a while.
It turned out that Tang Zhizhi had asked all the girls who liked him to come to his house for a private meeting. All girls are not allowed to show their faces or make sounds. So they had to work clothes, jewelry, and even incense, and they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money. That night, in the Tang Family Garden, the essence of the city's jewelry, textile, and incense dyeing industry was concentrated.
So, is Tang Gongzi really deciding who to marry based on their clothes and fragrance?
When they arrived at the garden, a girl came to greet them and gave them a handful. said, Childe wants to pick a partner who is in harmony.
Then the girl withdrew. Soon, the sound of a piano sounded behind the curtain. All the girls are trying their best to keep up with the sound of the piano and prove that they are worthy of Tang Gongzi.
All the girls thought that the person who played the piano behind the curtain was Tang Gongzi. But at this time, he was outside the garden and engaged in a short encounter with Fuyan.
So, who is the person who plays the piano?
The woman in Tsing Yi looked moved. Tang Zhizhi asked: "I haven't asked Mrs. Gao for her name." ”
The woman in Tsing Yi was in a trance for a moment: "Gather and disperse what a foot road, gain and lose the smoke of the floating world." The concubine is a lowly name and a smoke-I'm afraid that there are two Se who want to win, how can the son choose? ”
By this time, a few of them had already quieted down, and the others were still stubbornly chasing the piano sound. Will two of them win? Tang Zhizhi's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer. Fuyan saluted: "If you change your mind......" did not finish this sentence, but quietly stuffed something into his hand.
The well-known Tang Gongzi of Qinglongfang finally agreed to the marriage of the family! That's the young lady of the Dan family. It immediately attracted the envy of everyone.
But there is also a young lady, Yu Shu of General Yu's Mansion, who left a book and ran away. That Yu Shu has long been in love with Tang Gongzi, claiming that he is not Tang Gongzi who will not marry, but he does not mention the word Tang Gongzi in the book, only saying that he wants to go to the sea to find Xianzhi.
The Danjia Tang family asked for the name and Nacai, and it was lively and lively. Yufu lost his daughter, and he was nowhere to be found, so he whimpered and went to the temple to ask for a lot. The little monk at the gate of the temple was in no mood to receive them, so he slipped to the temple gate, stretched his neck to see the formation of Tang Gongzi's daughter-in-law, but a figure in Tsing Yi stood in front of him: "Little master, I worship the Buddha." ”
"Oh! There's incense for sale over there! There are ...... people who donate merit and lamp oil," the little monk is familiar with, and the road is familiar with the way, and points it to her.
"Not necessarily." "I brought my own incense." What Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Heavenly Dragons, Ghosts, and Gods are offered in this temple? Where are they located? ”
The incense is brought by himself, and he refuses to spend it, and he asks so professionally! Is this a visit or an exam? The little monk was sad and angry, and finally pointed out several halls and hundreds of gods and Buddhas to this donor, and Mrs. Yu grabbed him again: "The sign I just asked for, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?" ”
The little monk had no choice but to help her find a sign again.
The floating smoke ignited the incense she had brought.
The cigarette smoke spread out, and the whole temple suddenly fell silent. It seems that there is no amount of unspeakable and unspeakable tranquility, spreading out, the red dust is far away, and only the lotus flower is blooming.
Mrs. Yu was crying: "The sign is lost, is it a bad omen?" My Shu'er can't come back? ”
When the cigarette was lit, she forgot to cry for a while.
Until the incense of the Buddha gradually dissipated, she looked down, saw the signature, and lay down at her feet. picked it up, and it read: "Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing?" ”
On that night of playing the piano, Tang Gongzi chose Dan Ying as his wife.
That night! All the girls, gathered in a garden, although it was in accordance with the meaning of the prince, they all wore veils, and some people deliberately "accidentally let the veil be blown up by the wind", in short, they all wanted to compete for the beauty and cover others, but they wasted their minds, Tang Gongzi did not show up at all, and only proposed that Qin Se be harmonious.
Dan Ying tried her best to keep up to the end, but she just barely kept up, to talk about the ease and beauty of the rhythm, she knew that it was not as good as Yu Shu, but she didn't expect Gongzi to choose her in the end. Before making a choice, he said to all the girls: "I wish to get all the promises, no matter what the result is, I will never complain, and I will not pass on the process." Dan Ying agreed, like all girls. Tang Gongzi invited Yu Shu to talk behind the curtain. Danying was only bad at the time. Who knew that Tang Gongzi came out from under the curtain and announced: I chose her Danying.
But Tang Gongzi really didn't play the piano himself. Who is the one who plays the piano for him? Why did Tang Zhizhi choose Danying? What did Fuyan give Tang Gongzi again?
The second elder of the Tang family didn't know about these undercurrents, but he only knew that it was a bit ridiculous for his son to pick a daughter-in-law in another garden, and he was very afraid that General Yu and others would ask for guilt. But all the parents knew that their daughter went to the other garden for selection, and it was also very shameless, so they all suffered this secret loss and kept quiet. The two elders of the Tang family put their minds at ease and became married. The two families have chosen an auspicious day, and those who cook cattle and slaughter sheep will prepare for the wedding feast.
There was a girl waiting for someone in the backyard of the Tang family, waiting sullenly for a long time, squatting on the ground and drawing countless circles, but the person did not come. She walked out of the courtyard gate, leaned on the railing to breathe, kicked the bottom of the railing with her heels, and pinched off a white gardenia.
"Ruthless enough." Someone sighed.
The girl raised her head, her face full of displeasure: "Pinching a flower, it's not killing chickens and fishes, what's ruthless?" ”
It's floating smoke. She was holding a box in her hand. There was an old woman who accompanied her, and she recognized that the girl was the favorite maid next to Tang Gongzi, her name was Yin Yin, and she was so pampered, so she hurriedly wanted to make amends for Fuyan. Fuyan had already explained with a smile to himself: "Chickens and fish are so-called living creatures. Flowers and grass are so-called dead things. The concubine is only a girl, and she should know how to cherish the dead! After all, things hurt like that. ”
Yin Yin's eyes seemed to shoot a knife: "What do you mean?" ”
Fuyan Man said: "Heh, just because the girl is naturally beautiful, and this flower is also beautiful, regardless of whether it can speak, it should be cherished." ”
Yin Yin is actually not very beautiful, she is a little delicate at most, it is rare that between the eyebrows and eyes, the aura is overflowing, which makes people dare not force their eyes.
She stared at Fuyan for a moment, and her mother-in-law trembled a little beside her, and Fuyan only smiled at each other. Yin Yin staggered his gaze and said, "The eldest lady said she laughed." ”
The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, led the floating smoke forward, and suddenly heard a voice: "The floating lady stays!" It was Tang Zhizhi who personally strode over with the corner of his robe, asked his mother-in-law to retreat first, and asked Fuyan: "Why is the eldest lady giving up today?" ”
"I am very happy for my son, and the trumpet also offers incense to my wife." Fuyan held up the box in his hand.
"I'm getting married, what are the plans of the eldest lady?" Tang Zhizhi asked staringly.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come there to congratulate you then!" Fuyan said casually, "I have to go up the mountain to pick spices, after all, I promised someone...... Just leave for a while! Winked at the soup.
Tang Zhizhi watched her figure disappear, turned around, and Yin Yin stood under the flowers. The fat green leaves of the gardenia cast a shadow on her face, and her eyes turned black and gloomy.
"I'll confirm her whereabouts." The way of soup.
Yin Yin nodded.
"Tired of waiting for you?" Tang Zhizhi approached her and wrapped her hands in his arms, "I'm about to get married, I'm busy with everything, and I can't take a break for a while." ”
Yin Yin nodded again. The two hands, held in his arms for a long time, were still cold. She slowly pulled back: "You rest." ”
"Wait for me to get married!" Tang Zhizhi grabbed her hand and said eagerly, "It's soon!" ”
Yin Yin looked up at him, and tears gradually appeared in his gloomy and burning eyes: "Okay." ”
On the day Danying and Tang Zhizhi got married, the floating lady did not show up. Her incense shop was closed. Tang Zhizhi went to confirm that there was no abnormality.
The newlyweds entered the cave room, Danying was shy and timid, her heart was like a deer, and she looked at her newlywed husband, dressed in red, wearing a pearl and auspicious crown, which looked even more gorgeous.
She didn't notice that in the shadows, there was a pair of glowing eyes, quietly and quietly approaching......
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, slightly cool, like a woman's sigh. Is it floating smoke? It can't be a demon anyway.
Since the contract between the heavens and the demons, there are really no demons in Lingzhou.
Even if it's smoke, it's definitely not a demon. There is a demon certificate left by the celestial people as proof...... Of course, no one really took the demon book to shine on the smoke. But even if they did, it was for sure. Floating smoke is really not a demon.
But when Tang Zhizhi heard the sigh, he suddenly stiffened.
Danying didn't dare to ask, but her eyes revealed her surprise.
Tang Zhizhi held his forehead, calmed down, and said, "I'm so drunk that I can't bear it." ”
So he confessed, and went out to sleep. The eyes in the shadows closed hatefully and retreated. Nothing was said all night.
At dawn on this day, the newlyweds got up, dressed each other and changed their clothes, and met their elders and relatives, and they were very busy. Danying is gentle and thoughtful, and I still remember to say hard work to the girl next to my son.
The girl's name was Yin Yin, and she was so clever and clever, so she replied: "The young lady has worked hard since then." ”
Danying lowered his head again, and the flush burned all the way to the base of his ears. In the evening, Tang Zhizhi entered the new house again, and was about to talk to Danying, when he suddenly heard a "ding", and a wine glass suddenly fell to the ground.
Tang Zhizhi jumped up from the new bed and went outside to see that Yin Yin was raising his wine glass. Tang Zhizhi asked in a tight voice: "Who put this cup here?" ”
"I didn't pay attention."
"How did you fall?!" Tang Zhizhi asked again.
"I don't know...... I hope it won't disturb the auspicious time of the son and the young lady? Yin Yin stared at Tang Zhizhi.
The gaze is urging. Don't be left to words. The two of them made an appointment, and it was all in plain sight.
Tang Zhizhi took a step back. He was afraid that the floating lady would come to mischief...... Or, worse, he remembered the phrase: "If you change your mind......"
He went back to his room, clutching a corner of his robe. Danying's face was also very pale. She was infected with his panic, but she didn't know what to be afraid of, so she thought to herself: Isn't Yu Shu dead, and the ghost is coming back to make trouble?
She really didn't think that she was more qualified to be Tang Gongzi's wife than Yu Shulai. Yu Shu thinks the same way, right? Could it be that he is resentful, so he wants to come back for revenge?
Tang Zhizhi held Danying's hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
His hands trembled slightly.
Dan Ying looked at Tang Zhizhi. His health was not very good, and she heard that since a girl died of illness, he was frightened and had been weak. The girl is very beautiful, because she loves to wear red, she is named "Red", and she is clever to explain, Mrs. Tang likes it very much, and specially sends her to serve by her son's side, but Hongyi is delusional and wants to make an alliance with her son, Mrs. naturally does not allow it, and Hongyi can't afford to be sick. It doesn't matter if she dies, even the son is sick.
Yin Yin is a little girl who bought later, she was born not outstanding, and she was also sick all the year round, Tang Gongzi, who was sick, was happy when he saw it, and lifted her by his side, and gradually forgot about the red clothes, and his illness improved. Mrs. Tang even called it a fluke, and since then she has loved Yin Yin.
Dan Ying had vaguely heard a little about this in her mother's house, after all, it was not very detailed, but after passing through the door, she overheard two servants chewing their tongues and saying: Yin Yinyuan is not good-looking, and in the past few years, he has been serving his son closely, and his behavior has gradually become as beautiful and enchanting as red clothes, but he is not so frivolous, and he knows a little bit of his duty when he enters and retreats, and the lady tolerates her, but in the end, there is something ......
What are some of them? Dan Yingmeng felt that there was a gaze behind him, and when he turned around, he didn't see anyone, but it was just cold, and he was always a little unstable, as if he was being targeted by a ghost.
Yin Yin had already retired, leaving the newcomer alone. Tang Zhizhi sat at the table in a daze at the candle flame. Danying waited for a moment and sat down gently. The candlelight reflected her eyes, Tang Zhizhi was a little afraid to look at it, don't look over, and felt that it was too rude, so she chatted casually: "Do you miss your family?" ”
"It's fine." Dan Ying smiled, "It's my seventh brother." When I got back to the door, he saw me and wondered if he would jump up and stick to me. A little embarrassed to explain, "The seventh brother is ten years younger than me, and I have always been with him. This time I ...... When I came out of the cabinet, he cried more than I did. I entered the door of the Xianggong's house, and speaking of which, this younger brother told me that I couldn't let go...... Messire? ”
The corners of Tang Zhizhi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly made up his mind and ripped the corners of his clothes apart. What is hidden there is a twist of incense given by the floating lady, wrapped in white cotton paper. The incense was quickly sprinkled on the candle flame and lit, first releasing green, green like a small seedling sprout, and red buds spit out from the seedling buds, scorching like a glow, and the glow flame condensed, condensed into gold, and the gold flowed, into water, and the water ripples spread, trapping a shadow in the corner. Tang Zhizhi pulled up Danying: "Run!" ”
The trapped shadow struggled and screamed, not like a human voice, but like a betrayed beast.
"Yin Yin?" Dan Ying said in horror.
"No, it's red." Tang Zhizhi frowned.
Perhaps it was the effect of that strange fragrance, and the entire Tang Mansion fell asleep solidly, as if dead. The shadow broke free from the incense stumbling and chased them all the way, and Danying shouted in horror: "Help! But no one got up. Tang Zhizhi covered her mouth and pulled her to hide under the porch. Tangfu is as lonely as an ancient tomb, the moon shadow is faint, only the ghost is looking for it: "Childe? You promised me to stay with me! The tone was poignant.
She was in the wrong direction and drifted away. Danying's whole body trembled, and he whispered to Tang Zhizhi and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
At this point, Tang Zhizhi sighed, and only confessed: it was the red clothes who played at that time. She was already a ghost and needed to find a suitable object to possess, so Tang Zhizhi helped her use Qin Se and Yin to see who could match the soul in red. Although it is all closed, Yu Shu is too intense and his personality is too strong to control. Danying is relatively weak, so ...... In the end, Tang Zhizhi chose Danying.
From beginning to end, Tang Zhizhi's only love was red. The red clothes did not die of illness that year. Such an innocent and enthusiastic girl, so loved by everyone, coaxed Mrs. so happy. She and Tang Zhizhi thought that although Madame would not be willing to let a girl be her daughter-in-law because of this, as long as the two of them were firm enough and kept begging, Madame would understand their feelings one day, right? Scold! They want to grow old together as husband and wife. Unexpectedly, the lady was furious, and a cup of poisoned wine killed the red clothes.
The soul of the red clothes is not gone, and Tang Zhizhi is also bedridden. Until Yin Yin entered the mansion, his body was too weak and he had no ability to resist all ghosts, and Hongyi took the opportunity to possess him and accompanied Tang Zhizhi for a few years, but it was not a long-term solution, so the two agreed that it was better for Hongyi to personally select a person who was in tune with her and marry into the mansion. But he sympathized with Dan Ying, couldn't bear to deprive her of her life, and regretted it.
This story, Tang Zhizhi explained it with difficulty. The red robe searched for a while, and then floated back, weeping in extreme confusion and pain, and his face was distorted and hideous. Danying and Tang Zhizhi were so shocked that they both held their breath and shrunk to hide...... How long can you hide?
A cat barked from behind the tree, and the redcoat immediately threw himself into the depths of the bushes, and the cat barked more sharply, and suddenly stopped, and the air was so quiet that it was suffocating. Danying and Tang Zhizhi held hands, trembling, not knowing what to do, but they saw a cloud of smoke, floating out of nowhere, covering them and the bushes.
Far away, the floating smoke paced, and sighed softly: "Huan Hongyi, the son is amorous!" Sentimental misguide. ”
"Big lady save me!" Tang Zhizhi knelt down.
Fuyan sighed: "The concubine is just passing by when she comes back from collecting medicine." What to save? I told Gongzi a long time ago that concubines are not so boring to interfere in other people's affairs. ”
Tang Zhizhi could only laugh miserably.
Danying also knelt down.
"Well, you're innocent and don't want to die with them." Fuyan said softly, "Do you want me to take you home?" ”
Danying nodded hurriedly and shook her head again: "Big lady!" If you have a way, please help Hongyi to get free, she is so miserable! ”
Yes, the smoke is fading. The red clothes struggled out of the bushes again, still calling Childe, and asked, "Childe, Childe, don't you want to keep me?" Where is it now? "The pain was like walking on the tip of a knife, like boiling oil burning her in the heart. Her eyes were red and swollen. Tang Zhizhi was obviously already in front of her, but she couldn't see it clearly. Blinded by the excruciating pain, she turned her head around, still stubbornly calling out, "Childe! Childe ......"
Tang Zhizhi fell into tears: "I won't force it anymore." Big lady, please...... Let her go! ”
Even if it is to die with a grudge, it is better than to keep suffering like this.
Fuyan nodded, raised his hands lightly, and separated the smoke in front of him, and Yuehua spilled through the gap in the separation. Fuyan pulled it with his hand, like a good silk thread, and picked up a beam of moonlight, and then another bunch, ten fingers, dexterously dialed, weaving the endless moonlight into a net, and sprinkled it on the red clothes. The net was spread out, and the red robe was tightened. The red robe lay on the ground, unable to move any longer, still whining and wailing in his mouth.
Fuyan muttered a mantra in his mouth, and his fingers were together, and he ordered incense.
When this incense is lit, all infatuation will be extinguished, right?
A little star flashed between the floating fingers.
Tang Zhizhi suddenly got up and pounced on the red clothes who were no longer human.
Danying tried to grab him, but reached out, and the corners of his clothes slipped between her fingers.
"She's looking for me. It doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost. Her heart was all about me. Everything happened because of me. Even if I can't help her stay in the world, I can't abandon her. ”
His heart is clear. He hugged the red coat and shattered it together in the starlight.
Danying screamed.
A garden of starry incense.
There are two souls, rising quietly in the shattered dust. The delicate and touching girl in red, the handsome and affectionate boy in gorgeous clothes, is their most beautiful appearance five years ago, before all the love calamities tortured them, the golden wind and jade dew met for the first time, the most joyful appearance.
They held hands and smiled slightly. Fuyan raised his hand and beckoned, and they disappeared without a sound.
Danying stood still, not noticing that Fuyan was clutching his sleeves and quietly leaving. The dream that the entire soup house couldn't wake up from has also ended. (To be continued.) )
