Chapter 14: The Daughter of the Phoenix Emperor
Because Xiao Han likes peach blossoms, when he bought this house, the three teenagers transplanted an old peach tree for her. Now the spring breeze is green, the new willow branches are naturally red, and the first peach blossoms are red, full of flowers, and the color of the red is as scorching as the morning glow.
Since the first few days of vigorous and resolute action, Yu Wu seems to be quiet again, Yu Wu did not explicitly ask her to do things, she is also happy to be idle, simply put a day under the peach blossom tree to play the piano.
Spring is in full bloom, and the gentle light of the dawn spreads the whole sky transparently. The branches of the old peach tree are full of flowers, and it looks like a splendid morning glow. The breeze is light, and under the plucking of the piano, patches of peach flutter down, and a touch of premature red slowly softly softly, as light as winter snow. probably couldn't resist the world-like face of the man who stroked the qin, and there was a little red stuck between the seaweed-like green silk and refused to leave. Cold as the moon, the fairy escapes out of the dust, the man is a fairy-like figure, and now the half-pulled green silk is dancing because of the breeze, just like the green wattle in the soft waves, and adds a few touches of morning glow-like red, and it adds the charm of the fireworks that do not eat the world.
"It's like a dream, it's like a fairy, fortunately, the master's appearance has never been seen by outsiders, otherwise I don't know how many peach blossom debts I will get into!" Ruxuan shook his head and sighed, his eyes widened, even a person like Ruxuan, who was accustomed to Xiao Han's appearance, couldn't help but be so surprised that his heart skipped a beat.
Yu Yu also nodded in agreement with Ruxuan's words, and said: "When I first arrived in Taoyuan, the master was also standing in the wind under the rain of flowers. β
When the white ten fingers were picked up from the strings, the deep and graceful sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. Although Xiao Han treats people coldly and indifferently, the owner of Taoyuan loves her very much, such as the owner of Taoyuan gave her his original saber Qingshuang Sword, and for example, the qin she stroked at the moment - Luqi.
As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, Ruxuan hurriedly put away his saliva smile, walked over and asked, "Master, is it possible that we just wait and do nothing?" β
Xiao Han slowly raised his eyelids, and a faint cold voice burst out from his slightly wriggling lips: "What do you want to do?" β
"I ......," Ruxuan said anxiously, but he couldn't say what to do.
"Master, our original intention in Jiangzhou was to establish a foundation, that is, to make the master famous, but now ......" Xuanjing also praised Ruxuan's words, and now he feels that it is wrong to be so idle.
Gently flicking the peach blossoms in the hair on his clothes, Xiao Han got up with his hands and said slowly: "Do you know what a boiled toad is?" β
"Master, what does this have to do with boiling toads?" Liusang had always been the most naΓ―ve and innocent of the four, so it was no wonder that he was in a hurry to interrupt Xiao Han's words.
Liusang looked confused, but Xiao Han was unhurried, and only said: "If you put the toad in boiling water and boil it, it will jump out; If you boil it in warm water, it will enjoy swimming in the water so much that when the water really boils, it won't be able to jump out until it dies. β
Listening to Xiao Han's unhurried explanation, Yu Yu suddenly brightened up, and had an epiphany: "In Wen Tun, Jiangzhou has been transformed, and Yu Wu is cooking toads!" β
"That's right," Xiao Han nodded, and continued, "If those wealthy families in Jiangzhou are forced to be in a hurry, they will inevitably do something unexpected!" β
"Yu Wu is so scheming!" Xuanjing's eyes were deep, and he shook his head and sighed, as if he was even more worried.
Nodding, Ruxuan sighed and said, "Then when are we going to wait?" β
"It won't be too long", Xiao Han looked into the distance, his eyes fluttering. Sighing lightly, Xiao Han withdrew his ethereal eyes, and said, "Since Yu Wu has calmed down, we naturally have to cooperate, so you can be more relaxed and casual these days." β
Liuyu was originally a child, and when he heard Xiao Han's more relaxed words, he almost didn't jump, so he hurriedly ran over and pulled Xiao Han's arm, and said with a happy smile: "Master, we have been in Jiangzhou for so long, and we haven't had a good time to play, how about we go out to play, master?" "It seems that I have been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Liuzhen." Looking at Xiao Han's gradually cold face, Xuanjing lowered his head and coughed lightly, reminding in a low voice.
Liuyu was startled, as if he remembered that he had promised his master to be calmer, so he hurriedly let go of Xiao Han's arm and scratched his head embarrassedly, his beautiful face was full of embarrassment.
"Master, I saw a piano the day before yesterday, saying that Zhao Feiyan played it in the Han Dynasty, called 'Fenghuang'", Liuyu hurriedly changed the topic, and said tentatively word by word, as if he was afraid that Xiao Han would be angry, "The master has always liked to play the piano, why don't we go and have a look?" β
"Master, Liuyu is right, 'Fenghuang' is a world-famous qin, if the master buys it, he will have both 'Luqi' and 'Fenghuang'." Clearing her throat, Jade Yu cautiously probed.
After glancing at the four of them, Xiao Han obviously thought for a while, and then said lightly for a long time: "That's fine!" β
Hearing Xiao Han's response, Liuyu stroked his palms and smiled from ear to ear: "Master, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go, save the 'Phoenix Emperor' from being bought!" β
Liuyu was the young man's wantonness, and the other three people smiled helplessly and shook their heads in the face of his lively jumping.
Jiangzhou is prosperous, which can be described as the second Jiankang, and you can see that this is true when you walk on the street. The street floor is paved with bluestone, and the road is lined with all kinds of small stalls, all kinds of strange things.
"Who is this family, and his appearance is so good!" The streets were crowded with people, regardless of men, women and children, they were all amazed when they saw Xiao Han and his party, standing in place and sighing, "Who is Jiaojiao worthy of such a beloved?" "That's talking about the three teenagers.
"That Jiaojiao is also good-looking!" Yu Yu is a beautiful person, and he can afford the praise of others.
"I think the white-clothed gentleman in the middle is the best!" There are still people who see the otherworldly aura on Xiao Han's body, "Although he wears a gauze hat, the clear aura on his body is rare in the world!" β
Indeed, because there are many people on the street, and people have the habit of throwing fruits at beautiful young people, Xiao Han deliberately wore a gauze hat to cover his face when he went out, and he also saved himself from being a wolf because of his appearance. The three teenagers didn't care, probably real men like the feeling of being sought after by women, no wonder Wei Jie's was injured by the fruit but he was not angry.
"If you want me to say, those three teenagers are much better than the white-clothed Langjun", there is no truth to hide the reason why the men in the world are good-looking, so people naturally think crookedly, "A jade man like Yu Lang has never covered his appearance, in my opinion, this person must be ugly and unsightly, so he dare not show it!" β
There were still people in the crowd who had seen Xiao Han and his party, and when they heard someone say that Xiao Lang was ugly, they couldn't be silent, and hurriedly retorted: "It's really eyeless, do you know who the man in white is?" β
"According to Brother Ren's words, what kind of big man is the man in white?"
"Stupid, he is Xiao Han! Let's not talk about the destruction of the Huanglong Mountain bandits, and say that there was a banquet in Junyue Building that day, and no one dared to underestimate him! β
"He is Xiao Han, I heard that he looks like a fairy and looks like the moon?"
"It must be so, I heard that Xiao Han is very cold, and look at his indifferent aura."
However, the sound of the conversation was drowned out by the excited cheers of the girls in the market, and the reason was that a girl heard that the man in white was Xiao Han, so she responded and ordered the fruit in the bamboo basket to be thrown at her.
"Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang!"
It is said that women are delicate and powerless, but in the matter of throwing fruits, women are definitely comparable to jackals, tigers and leopards, and Xiao Han is a woman, so naturally she does not have the feeling of enjoying it as a man. The "Mo Xuan" that sold the "Phoenix Emperor" piano was not far away, Xiao Han and his party entered in a flash, and those girls were stunned that they didn't even touch the corners of her clothes.
"Mo Xuan" is an elegant place, and it is also one of the best pleasures in the entire Jin land, and the servants inside have seen a lot of romantic characters, and now Xiao Han and they are so dodging in and coupled with the crazy shouts of the women outside, Mo Xuan's people know what is going on. It's just that all the celebrities have come over like this.
Seeing that the white-clothed Lang Jun seemed to be the master, he hurriedly bent down and boasted to Xiao Han: "This Lang Jun, you are really a good eye, our 'Mo Xuan' ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a faint voice.
Xiao Han ripped off his gauze hat, brushed the scattered hair between his forehead, and was not very impatient with the twitter of the shopkeeper, and said straight to the point: "Take out the 'Phoenix Emperor' and take a look." β
The moment the gauze hat fell, the shopkeeper's mouth could almost stuff a goose egg, he had seen a lot of handsome people coming and going, but there was really no such ethereal and clear person like this. The complexion is peerless, the breath is cold, and this is the son of that family?
The shopkeeper was not confused, and when he heard him mention the word "Fenghuang", he knew that he must not be the master, so he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is also a shrewd person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Lang Jun might as well have a cup of tea first!" β
The shopkeeper handed over a cup of tea that had been brewed a long time ago, and then spread his hand to signal Xiao Han to sit. The "Phoenix Emperor" piano can be seen by anyone.
"I'm here because of the 'Phoenix Emperor', it's not your tea!" Xiao Han sat down comfortably, but didn't take the cup of tea.
"Lang Jun looks like a celestial, it must be that Xiao Han Xiao Langjun!" The shopkeeper must satisfy Xiao Han's appetite, so as to achieve greater benefits.
"Why beat around the bush, if it's really 'Phoenix Emperor', I will definitely not be able to treat you badly!" The faint voice revealed a chilling indifference and ruthlessness, which made the shopkeeper can't help but worry, probably this is not angry but mighty.
Thinking of the ruthlessness of this white-clothed Xiao Lang who destroyed the Huanglong Mountain bandits that day, the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked someone to carefully move out of the 'Phoenix Emperor'.
The man carefully and gently put the 'Phoenix Emperor' on the piano bed, and the shopkeeper carefully uncovered the silk cloth on it, and said: "This is the 'Phoenix Emperor' undoubtedly, the love of Queen Zhao back then, it can also be called a treasure of the world!" "It seems that this is really Zhao Feiyan's 'Phoenix Emperor'.
When the fair-skinned fingers gently stirred the strings, there was a burst of clarity, but the timbre of the audition was surprisingly good, let alone a song. Fingers gently glide over the body of the piano, the sycamore fragrant wood is still smooth after a hundred years, and it is definitely a peerless piano from all aspects!
"It is indeed the 'Phoenix Emperor', there is no doubt about it, what is the asking price?" In terms of silk and bamboo piano music, Xiao Han has never procrastinated, but asked directly.
"The world only says that Feiyan is 'like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon' but don't know that its piano skills are also a must, its fingers are a twist of a hundred birds towards the phoenix, its fingers are a touch of music and dance in the sky, and its hand is a stroke of the sound around the beam", the shopkeeper said a lot of undoubtedly for money, after seeing Xiao Han's increasingly cold color, the shopkeeper's interest ended the exaggerated boasting, and hurriedly said, "Such a good piano is still worth a thousand gold!" β
Xiao Han has always loved the famous piano, and now he has encountered this kind of famous piano that can be met but cannot be found, and he is naturally moved, and his heart says, it is naturally worth it for his daughter to ask for this piano, and he carefully calculated his current assets, and suddenly found that he is now rich.
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Han as if he was hesitating, and sighed again: "Mo Xuan also has rules, if a gentleman is not a person who knows the qin, he will not be able to get ten thousand gold!" β
There are two reasons why "Fenghuang" has not been sold for a long time, one is that such good pianos are not sold to mediocre people, and the other is that the price of thousands of gold is really high.
"Shopkeeper Gao, the day before yesterday you said that 'Fenghuang' is not for sale, but it will be sold today, are you fooling Ben Langjun?" A man in brocade walked in with a beautiful woman, snorting coldly, not polite to the shopkeeper at all.
"Zhu Langjun, this-this is a misunderstanding!" The shopkeeper Gao wiped a handful of sweat, this Zhu Shilang is a child of anointed, how dare he sell the 'Phoenix Emperor' to him, isn't this self-ruining reputation, but he can't afford to provoke the Zhu family in Jiangzhou.
"Hmph, still quibbling, I don't think you take my Zhu family in your eyes. I just bought a piano, but you shirked it, a broken piano, can't I still afford it? "That Zhu Shilang Jun stared at the shopkeeper proudly.
However, when he turned his head, he said to the woman beside him with a good temper and a pleasant face: "Yueji, I will definitely give you the 'Phoenix Emperor'!" β
This Yueji is the one who borrowed the piano from Xiao Han that day, Yueji is a famous prostitute in Jiangzhou, she is famous for her excellent piano skills, and she is also hot in Jiangzhou.
"Shopkeeper, wrap the 'Phoenix Emperor'", Xiao Han didn't want to continue to entangle, and said to Xuanjing, "Take a thousand catties of gold and send it immediately!" Xiao Han has never had many scruples about money, if a piano and a sword are indeed heirlooms, then it is worth it for her to give everything she has, which is also taught by the master of Taoyuan.
"Good, good", the shopkeeper hurriedly said, cold sweat.
"Wait, who are you?" Only then did Zhu Shilang notice Xiao Han, so he walked towards her arrogantly. Xiao Han's face was like a fairy, and Zhu Shilang was also shocked, but Yueji was here, if he lost his prestige, he would lose face, so he looked at him and said, "This piano is set by Ben Langjun, don't be delusional!" β
"Wrap it up!" Xiao Han's voice was very intimidating, she didn't care about such anointed children at all, and just said directly to the shopkeeper Gao who was still stunned.
Yueji was very surprised, she didn't expect to see this Xiao Lang, he was not only shocked, but also the piano skills were amazing, in front of this Xiao Lang, her skills can become the class to get the axe, she remembered the sound of the piano that night.
"Stop! Do you dare to offend the Zhu family? Zhu Shilang also drank loudly, this piano is going to be used to please Yueji, how can people say that they will buy it, "Ben Langjun bought it, how much does it cost?" β
The shopkeeper Gao bent over and bent over in a cold sweat, wetting his back, Zhu really couldn't afford to provoke him, he hurriedly replied: "Daughter, daughter!" "To be honest, even if Zhu Shilang really paid a thousand dollars, he wouldn't dare to buy it.
"What, daughter?" Zhu Shilang drank for a while, not a thousand catties of iron coins but a thousand catties of gold, what is a thousand catties of gold, a thousand catties of gold is enough to support the expenses of his dignified Zhu family for half a year!
At that time, because of Zhu Shilang's "high-profile" Moxuan, there were already many people crowded at the door, and these people also witnessed Zhu Shilang's inactivity.
"A broken piano is also worth a thousand gold?" Zhu Shilang obviously wanted to buy this piano again, but he couldn't afford it.
His words angered the shopkeeper Gao, all those who have some insight know what the 'Phoenix Emperor' is, but this person does not choose what to say, which is really a taboo of elegance, so he didn't give Zhu Shilang a good look at it, and said angrily: "What is the broken qin, this is the 'Phoenix Emperor'!" β
"What about the Phoenix Emperor, it's not a broken piece of wood!" Zhu Shilang hummed, but he had no confidence, and his words were somewhat weak. Clearing his throat, he said again, "You are a lot less, if you have a lot, you don't take my Zhu family in your eyes!" β
The shopkeeper Gao was really angry, but he really didn't dare to have a seizure in the open, so he only dropped his sleeve and said: "This Langjun has bought the 'Phoenix Emperor', Zhu Langjun should go back!" β
"What?" Zhu Shilang turned his head angrily, if he talked about wealth, who would dare to compare with him. In order to protect his face in front of Yueji, Zhu Shi said to Xiao Han arrogantly, "Boy, I am Zhu's Langjun, the piano is mine, you can go out!" β
Xiao Han sneered for a while, it seems that what Yu Wu said is really not wrong, now Jiangzhou's Haoqiang is really dominant, and there is a Zhang family and a Zhu family!
"What about the Zhu family? I bought it for a thousand dollars, and this piano is mine! Xiao Han sneered, "If you take out a thousand dollars to buy it, I will be speechless!" β
"Good". There was a warm applause at the door, and there were many people who couldn't get used to seeing this Zhu Shi.
"You!" Zhu Shilang slapped the table, he thought about it, if he really took out a thousand gold, it would be strange if he would not be expelled from the family, but he was desperate to please Yueji, so he threatened, "Do you know what kind of family the Zhu family is, you dare to provoke me?" β
"Hmph, what about the Zhu family? Even if Yu Wu comes, I'll buy it! Xiao Han replied to him coldly, leaving him speechless!
The reason why Yueji can become a famous prostitute in Jiangzhou is destined to be different from ordinary women, she didn't like Zhu Shi's anointed children, but Zhu Shi said to take her to see the 'Phoenix Emperor', she was originally a person who loves the qin, and when she heard the famous qin like 'Phoenix Emperor', she was moved by her heart, so she went to the appointment. Who knew that after listening to it for a while, she knew that this Zhu Shi was so despicable, and she was displeased when she landed, although she was a dusty woman, she was also very high-minded, and she was really evil about such immoral things. Thinking that he was standing with this Zhu Shi again, Xiao Lang didn't misunderstand that he was also such a despicable person, it was better to go back early, so as not to make Xiao Han misunderstand.
So she flicked her sleeves, didn't look at Zhu Shilang, only stepped forward to salute Xiao Han, and said, "The concubine is unwell, let's leave first, I hope to see Xiao Lang again in the future!" Without looking back, he pushed aside the crowd and left.
Zhu Shilang was so angry that he didn't go, and in the end, he was unwilling to leave under the pull of the servant.
As soon as Zhu Shilang left, a lot of people who watched the excitement dispersed, and the people who were guarding the door were naturally to see Xiao Han's face.
The shopkeeper Gao finally spit out a mouthful of turbid air, and his heart was a lot more relaxed, and he hurriedly changed his gentle smile and said to Xiao Han: "Where does Lang Jun live, I will send someone to send it." β
Xiao Han waved his hand and said lightly: "No need, I'll bring it back myself!" When my guards bring me the money, I'll take it back!" β
"Hey, Xiao Lang is laughing, Xiao Lang is upright, we can trust him!" Because of Xiao Han's indifference, the shopkeeper Gao had already appreciated this Xiao Lang very much.
It was the first time someone said that she was upright, and Xiao Han snorted and had a burst of air, but anyway, the shopkeeper didn't mind, and it didn't hurt for her to take it away.
"Ruxuan, take the qin away, Xuanjing will send the daughter!" Xiao Han also turned out of Mo Xuan for the first time, leaving only Ruxuan and the others to carefully move the piano, for fear of destroying it.
"Xiao Lang is really proud, and he has the style of a famous man!" The people at the door praised in an endless stream.
Pushing aside the crowd, I saw a gorgeous car blocking the road, and the carriage looked a little familiar.
Sure enough, a golden and jade voice slowly sounded out in the carriage: "Xiao Han, come up!" The voice was soft, and it seemed to have no strength.
Xiao Han knew who the person in the carriage was, but he was a little suspicious of his powerlessness today. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Han still got into the car. Yu Wu's carriage was very large, and as soon as Xiao Han entered, he found Yu Wu lying on the couch, looking sad and tired.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Han pinched his pulse in the past, if something happened to Yu Wu, how could she complete the master's trust, and it would be okay from the pulse.
opened his eyes, glanced at her slightly, Yu Wu closed his eyes again, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "You are quite idle." Just now I passed by here and heard you call 'Yu Wu'! β
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, there was a feeling of discomfort that someone had broken the secret, and she groaned for a while, before she snorted twice and changed the topic: "What's wrong with you, why do you look so sad?" β
"Heh", Yu Wu chuckled, and said very lightly, "There are just a lot of things, I don't like government affairs, so I will naturally be burdened by them!" β
"That's what happened!" Xiao Han nodded.
"What did that man say to you?" Feeling that Xiao Han had changed so quickly, Yu Wuwu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her motionlessly.
"Huh?" Xiao Han suddenly reacted to what he was talking about, he was referring to what the owner of Taoyuan said to her. So she looked down and said lightly, "I am a man of my word, you can rest assured, I will do it once I have made a promise." As for what others have said to me, I can't tell you! β
"Hmm." Yu Wu knew that she didn't want to say it clearly, so he didn't ask her when he was on the ground, so he only hummed perfunctorily twice.
"If you're all right, I'll go back!" Xiao Han looked at Yu Wu, who had closed his eyes again, and said lightly.
Hearing her words, Yu Wu Huoran put away his tired look, opened his obsidian-like eyes, and replaced them with his usual smile, but today's smile was a little unusual.
"Xiao Han, you are very unconscious!" There was a hint of laziness in his gentle smile, and there was a question in Yu Wu's tone.
"I'm tired of mundane affairs, but you buy a piano leisurely, you are very satisfied with this staff!"
"I'm afraid you forgot", Xiao Han sneered and replied, "Jun never told me, besides, I'm just cleaning up the aftermath for you!" The tone was cold and cold, but it was her usual style.
"Hahaha!" Yu Wu suddenly laughed wildly, and seemed to regain his former brilliance. After laughing, he suddenly put away his smile and said evilly, "Since that's the case, then please ask Xiao Lang to help me!" β
didn't give Xiao Han time to speak, Yu Wu said to Bai Zhi who was driving outside: "Bai Zhi, go and salute Xiao Langjun quickly, Xiao Lang has moved into 'Biyou Garden'!" β
Turning his head, he said with a smile again: "Since you are my staff, you have to wait by my side at all times, and I have never seen such a staff member like you!" β
