Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nanshan Tower (I)
Nanshan Tower is located in the southeast suburb of Anyang City.
It was originally the private garden of a minister in the former dynasty, and was later purchased by a large businessman, and after renovation and expansion, it became one of the places for the princes and nobles in Anyang City to enjoy and feast.
Although it is called Nanshan Building, it is actually a big garden, the garden is composed of three pavilions of Nanshan Building, Nuanqing Pavilion and Wenfu Museum, between the pavilions are connected by flower walls and verandahs, surrounded by flower paths, small ponds and rockeries. It imitates the scenery of the area of Chengzhejiang, and the garden is extremely elegant. It is a place that the lady Xiu and Wenshi love to go.
Today's Douqiao meeting was held in the small garden between the Nanshan Building and the Nuanqing Pavilion. At that time, the ladies in the garden were not all together, and everyone sat and chatted in twos and threes, and there were also chess and leaf plays.
At the beginning of the month, I looked around and saw the woman in the yellow shirt beside me looking at her, her eyes full of surprise. Seeing that she was quite face-to-face, at the beginning of the month, I didn't remember if I remembered seeing such a person, so I could only smile at her politely.
The woman was also stunned when she saw the beginning of the month, and reacted that she had just made a strange sound, and felt quite embarrassed, so she had to smile at her in return, and then put aside her face and continued to talk with the woman next to her.
"Miss knows her?" Qing Dai on the side saw this scene, so she whispered in her ear.
Moon shook her head, "Do you know who she is?" ”
"Yunxiang, Taichang Temple's Imperial Doctor's Order. Miss Hou Yun's family. Qing Dai explained, "Just now she looked at Miss like that, I thought you knew each other." ”
"I just entered the capital, how can I know each other?" At the beginning of the month, he waved his hand, looked around and saw that there were not enough people, and said to Qingdai: "Now that there are few people, there should be some time to leave the club, why don't we go around first?" ”
"Yes, yes." Xiao Xiao happily agreed.
Qing Dai thought that the ladies in the small garden really didn't know any of them at the beginning of the month, so it was better to take her around to relieve her boredom. So he took them and walked around the garden.
There are plantain sycamores planted in the garden around, and both sides of the flower path are full of calamus hostas, surrounded by colorful butterflies, and the fragrance is in full bloom. However, in the summer, the heat is unbearable. The three of them didn't stay long, took a look, and went all the way to Nuanqing Pavilion.
At the beginning of the month, I faintly heard the sound of the piano coming from the pavilion. The timbre is graceful, like being in the deep mountains and ancient temples, surrounded by Zen, so that the heat around the body can't help but reduce a few points.
"I don't know who is stroking the qin, it's so pleasant." At the beginning of the month, after listening to it for a while, he sighed softly.
Xiao Xiao also nodded in admiration, "This is called Fuqin, thinking about it this way, I used to listen to those students in the academy who were not called Qin." ”
"What's that called?" Qing Dai said curiously.
"Beat the strings." Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said with a pout.
When Qing Dai heard this, she sneered, "Xiaoxiao, I really can't see that your mouth is so poisonous." ”
"Poison?" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes, "Sister Qingdai, you haven't heard what Miss said about them playing the piano." Can I call this poison? ”
"Oh? What did Miss say? Qing Dai raised her eyebrows.
"Miss said, they are holding two wooden sticks and twisting the strings, and the old cows in the field are more vocal than they are playing the qin."
Qing Dai was dumb when she heard it, compared to Xiao Xiao, Miss was indeed more poisonous.
While the two were chatting, at the beginning of the month, they had already found their voices in the Nuanqing Pavilion.
Warm and sunny pavilion, private room.
The son in plain clothes is touching the piano by the window, his black hair is not half-tied, his narrow phoenix eyes are slightly squinted, and a thin lip is lightly pursed as if he is smiling.
Kneeling beside him sat a stunning young man, with a light face, making tea in an orderly manner.
Sitting across from them was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. Compared with the plain-clothed boy and the tranquility of the young man, this slightly chubby Confucian man seemed a little restless, and a little sweat overflowed from his forehead.
After the song, the young man brought the two cups of tea to the two of them.
"Master Chen, let's use tea. Qinsheng's tea making skills are still good. The plain boy spoke, his voice lazy and enchanting.
Master Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down again. "I'm still bothering Lord Min about this matter." He cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Min Shuo.
Min Shuo took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and said lazily: "Lord Chen, I have already reminded you a few days ago that you should not be too conspicuous in this matter. Recently, the people of the Eastern Party have been watching closely, and you are not unaware. ”
"Yes, yes." Lord Chen raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said timidly: "I will definitely teach them a good lesson when I go back, and ask Lord Min to help me take care of more ・・・・・・."
"What? A sentence of responsibility is over? Min Shuo slowly got up, walked to the beauty couch on the side and reclined. Jean followed, sat down beside him, and gently thumped his legs. "In the past two days, in order to wipe that incident for you, I ran so much that my legs were about to break, if you said that Xiao Xiang would know about this"
"Don't worry, Lord Min, this matter won't happen again." Lord Chen hurriedly said, "The lower officials have also prepared a reward, and they will be sent to the lord's mansion later, and the rules will not be broken." ”
After hearing this, Min Shuo covered his mouth and chuckled, "What did Lord Chen say, since they belong to the same family, I should run errands." Indeed, this reward is well deserved. ”
"Lord Min assists Xiao Xiang in handling government affairs, and there are many opportunities to deal with it. I still have to work for such a trivial matter as mine, and the officials are afraid. The little thank you gift should be used to buy new things for the little son of Qinsheng. ”
"In that case, then I will thank Master Chen for our piano students." After that, he waved his hand to thank the guests, and leaned back on the couch to pretend to sleep.
Seeing this, Master Chen got up and took his leave.
Seeing off Lord Chen, Min Shuo leaned on the beauty couch and rubbed his forehead, muttering: "It's really a waste of this cloud valley before the rain, don't make them this kind of good tea in the future" As he was saying, he suddenly got up, glanced outside the door, squinted and said, "Which distinguished guest?" If you have something to do, go in, you don't need to be so secretive. ”
When Qin Sheng heard this, he was slightly shocked. Hurriedly turned around and opened the door, and saw a woman in a scarlet dress standing outside the door.
"May I ask if you were playing the piano just now?" Moon squinted and smiled, and asked modestly.
Qin Sheng looked at the woman in front of him and was slightly stunned, and said lightly: "No, it's our husband." ”
Yue nodded clearly, and then said: "Then I don't know if your husband can ask to see, I just heard someone playing the qin outside, the sound of the piano is silent, and I want to see the person who caress the qin." ”
Qin Sheng frowned after hearing this, and just when he hesitated, a chuckle came from the room, "Qin Sheng, let her in." ”
Min Shuo spoke, and Qin Sheng naturally turned sideways and let Yue Yue in.
At the beginning of the month, I walked in, and saw a person leaning on the couch of the beauty near the window, with phoenix eyes slightly closed, long hair half bunched, and a lazy style. When he came in at the beginning of the month, he supported himself with his hand and asked softly, "Are you going to see me?" ”
Seeing him like this at the beginning of the month, his eyebrows twisted slightly, "You were the one who stroked the piano just now?" It was a little different from what she thought, she thought it would be a far-reaching master, but the person in front of her looked a little smart.
"What? Somewhat disappointed? Min Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The beginning of the month nodded unabashedly, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Cloud Valley before the rain? ”
Min Shuo was stunned, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you a dog's nose?" Can this smell too? "In the cloud valley before the rain just brewed, there was still a faint fragrance of tea in the room, but someone could smell what kind of tea it was, which really surprised him.
