Chapter 3 Living in a Black Shop
Standing in the middle of the road, Qing'er watched the carriages coming and going, the crowd was lively, and there was laughter everywhere. But why is my heart so lonely, and where should I go? At this time, the laughter of others seemed so noisy to themselves, and the magnificent and vast Chang'an City was so empty. Wandering aimlessly on this large Chang'an Avenue.
In a trance, a few points are clear, and a few points are a pleasant sound...... Faintly, fluctuating with the wind. Qing'er stopped, got rid of distracting thoughts, listened carefully, followed the direction of the wind, and walked unconsciously, and the crisp and pleasant sound of the guzheng gradually became clear. Just listen to "the murmuring and the cold current; Clear and cold, the trickle of pine roots. "Clear overtones, lively rhythms, quiet listening, a sense of joy arises spontaneously. Qing'er seems to be in the middle of the majestic mountains, full of lush green, breathing fresh air, listening to the stream playing the cheerful sound of "Ding Dong, Ding Dong".
Qing'er was deeply intoxicated, she had long forgotten the magnificent Chang'an City, the busy crowd, forgot herself, and stood there alone, immersed in the transcendence.
Although the dazzling sound has long ended, Qing'er is still intoxicated, and the aftermath lingers.
After a long time, Qing'er came back to her senses, where is this? How can there be the sound of mountains and forests in this noisy city? Where is the clear and cheerful sound wafting?
I think I have heard many solo performances by pianists, and there are many top-notch and outstanding ones, but Qing'er feels that none of them are as exquisite as this song.
With infinite doubts and puzzles, Qing'er searched for the place where the sound of the guzheng floated from. Inadvertently, Qing'er's searching eyes collided with a warm gaze, which was not like pity, but like the acquaintance after endless sorrow, sympathy. With eyes like stars, his face is like a crown of jade, he sits by the zither freely and casually, and his white robe swings arbitrarily with the wind. It's amazing that a man about 20 years old has such good piano skills!
After a long time, Qing'er came back to her senses and felt that it was not wise to stare at a man like this. Although Qing'er had infinite doubts, puzzlement, and sympathy, she still decided to leave indifferently.
What to do? It's getting dark! Qing'er thought, find a place to sleep well.
"Girl, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er greeted him warmly.
"Excuse me...... The cheapest ...... you guys How much does it cost to stay in a room? Qing'er stammered, feeling more embarrassed.
Xiao Er's face was full of smiles: "Stay for one night and two taels of silver!" A tael of refreshments, a tael of hot water, ......"
Thinking of her poor three taels of silver, Qing'er hurriedly stopped Xiao Er's enthusiastic recommendation, she was too tired, and she just wanted to rest for a night.
"Okay, stay overnight, bring me a big bucket of hot water, and bring it to my room."
Xiao Er smiled, "Okay! Girl, wait a minute. ”
Qing'er is lying in the big hot water bucket, soaking in the bath, feeling so comfortable! The fatigue of the whole body, the dust all over, all gone! Then get a good night's sleep.
After a while, Qing'er got dressed, hey, just this one, not even a change of clothes, it's really miserable!
A knock on the door ...... knock.
Qing'er felt puzzled, there was no one she knew here, and there was no other service. How could there be anyone?
"Who?"
"Girl, your snacks have been delivered!"
Qing'er thought: I don't seem to want any snacks, my silver is only enough for a night and a big bucket of hot water. With inexplicability, Qing'er opened the door.
Xiao Er walked in with a smile and put the snacks on the table. "Our inn sent the girl a snack plus a pot of Longjing tea, extra, the girl, please use it slowly......" Xiao Er's face was full of smiles, it is estimated that this smile is the habit of his identity, it feels weird!
Hum! Hypocrisy, it's not all for the silver! Qing'er thought, but she was so hungry that she couldn't think about it so much.
After eating two pieces of dim sum and drinking half a cup of tea, Qing'er fell asleep in a trance.
When she opened her eyes in a haze, Qing'er felt a bright light penetrating, and felt that there was a figure shaking in front of her. I slept soundly last night. I feel a little pain in my wrist, so I can't be pressed from sleep. Qing'er pondered.
"Hey, hey! Grandma, you've finally woken up! I'm dying of worry! ”
Qing'er suddenly heard such a strange yin and yang voice, and quickly opened her tired eyes. I saw a woman about thirty years old standing in front of me, dressed in flowers, very strange.
Qing'er is patrolling around, where is this? Am I not at the inn? What's going on?
Qing'er looked at the surrounding Yiqiē blankly, her hand hurt, what's going on? How are the hands tied?
"Where is this? Am I not at the inn. ”
The woman slowly turned around in front of Qing'er, looking Qing'er up and down.
"As for me, my surname is Ruan, and others call me Liuniang, in the future, you can also call me like this!" The woman's voice was unhurried, unhurried, soft and rigid.
Qing'er looked at the tied hands and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, no, she just escaped, and ...... ...... again, "Where is this Yangzhou?" ”
"What Yangzhou? This is Chang'an! Ruan Liuniang said, slowly walking in front of Qing'er.
It's not Yangzhou, that, "It's Master Zhou who asked you to tie me up, right?" Qing'er asked tentatively, afraid that her desire to escape with all her might would be disappointed again.
Liuniang's smiling face showed a look of displeasure: "What Yangzhou?" What the...... What Master Zhou, from Yangzhou? What mess? Let's tell you the truth, this is the famous tea fragrance house in Chang'an, and I am the proprietress of the famous tea fragrance house here, and Ruan Liuniang is me. What about you, I bought it from Liuniang with a hundred taels of silver, and you will be my person in the future, you know? You'd better give me less bad ideas...... I can tell you, old lady, I have the means, and I have the means to torture people......"
Qing'er thought to herself: Oh my God, fortunately it's not Yangzhou! Fortunately, I finally escaped. No, it won't be just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den! It won't be ......, it won't be ......, oh my God, I can't think about it......
Qing'er wanted to quietly ask tentatively.
"Kind, the proprietress of Chaxiangju, may I ask, is our Chaxiangju a place for special guests to taste tea? Is it a regular teahouse? ”
Liu Niang looked at the little girl in front of her and questioned her reputation as a tea fragrance house, she couldn't tolerate others questioning it like this.
"Of course, we are a century-old brand, in this Chang'an Street, whether it is from the south or from the north, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, our tea fragrance house is a well-known elegant house, and who doesn't know me Ruan Liuniang...... What do you know about a little girl who has never seen the market......" Liu Niang raised her head proudly and praised it lavishly.
Look at the appearance of Liuniang! Qing'er remembered the second child of an inn, good guy, no wonder you have nothing to do, the black shop, you actually sold your aunt and grandmother to me like this, fortunately, this girl remembers your appearance, it's best not to let me touch you again! Otherwise, I will have to send you to the government!
Qing'er thought about it, she couldn't be reckless, she had to think of a solution. I thought: Let's see what the situation is here, after all, Chang'an City, Nuoda, has no relatives and no hanging, and there is nowhere to go, it is better to stabilize her first, mix and eat, but you can also avoid living on the streets, and then plan slowly in the future; If I do resist, I'm afraid I'll only be hurt.
"What do you want me to do?"
Liuniang was stunned for a moment, stayed there, and looked at Qing'er with straight eyes.
"Since, you see...... After all, you also bought me for a hundred taels of silver, didn't you? It's nothing more than wanting to get what you deserve from me...... In that case, you say, what do you want me to do? ”
Liuniang looked at Qing'er blankly, with a surprised expression, "You are so calm and calm, don't you resist?" Why don't you cry and try to run away? Still is...... What other bad ideas do you want to play? ”
Qing'er sneered, "My Liuniang, is it useful to resist?" Can I win your sympathy and pity when I cry and cry bitterly? Will you be moved to help me untie me and send me away? Qing'er slowly walked around Liuniang and said, it seemed to be an understatement and calm, but in fact, Qing'er's heart was also chaotic. It's better to have a love for me, at least I'll eat together. You say yes, my Liuniang! ”
"You're really smart, to be honest, you're so likable......" Liuniang said as she loosened the rope that bound Qing'er's hand
